Billups' two three-pointers, the Grizzlies tied the score directly.

At 8:8 in the opening game, Qiao Hai was very satisfied, Billups' outburst was a surprise, and then, it was the Lakers' offense, this ball, the ball failed to give the inside line, because O'Neal was caught dead.

The Grizzlies pinched O'Neal, and Phil Jackson also made adjustments in the air, and the main point of attack was adjusted to Kobe.

In the next ball, Bryant went straight to singles.

He took the ball with his back, and after leaning on Maddie twice, he seemed to find a bit of space, and he turned over directly in the middle distance and made a jumper, which was a little reluctant.

So, in the next second, there was a bang, and the sound of striking iron came.

Ewing stuck O'Neal again, Sean Marion swooped out from the other side to grab the rebound, and then the Grizzlies were on a fast break.

Maddy counterattacked to the frontcourt with the ball and made a layup against Kobe's defensive pressure, and the Grizzlies overtook the score.

After the score was overtaken, the situation on the field was reversed.

In the next game, Kobe Bryant hit the iron continuously, but Maddie quickly shook off Kobe Bryant through a back-to-back single, and made a mid-range jumper to find his touch.

It looks like the guy who is really bad in this game is Kobe Bryant, not Maddy or Billups on the Grizzlies' side.

The Grizzlies' offense turned on and gradually took the initiative, and the score opened up.

McBlin, who followed the Western Conference to Los Angeles, couldn't help but sigh again: "The Grizzlies really ate and slept to beat the Lakers, it's too easy." ”

Mav Albert also said: "That's right, the opening game was beaten 0:6 by the Lakers, Chauncey Billups's two three-pointers, coupled with Maddy's recovery, the Grizzlies actually overtook the score in an instant, which is too fast." ”

Then McBrin and Marf Albert began to discuss what the Lakers should do to turn the tide.

"O'Neal was caught by the Grizzlies, and Phil Jackson should find a way to give O'Neal a chance to play singles, and O'Neal is a real consistent scoring point compared to Kobe Bryant, who is in poor form."

Giving the ball to O'Neal is something that fools know, and Phil Jackson naturally knows it.

But it's easier said than done, in the second half of the first quarter, the Lakers did make a change, forcing O'Neal to take the ball and forcing O'Neal to play alone.

Of course, if the Grizzlies are caught between them, O'Neal will have to split the ball.

For a while, the Lakers' offense played well and bit the score.

But Bryant's form is still terrible, so the Grizzlies have always dominated the court.

At the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies took a four-point lead at 29:25.

In the first quarter of the game, O'Neal exploded, scoring 15 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block on 6-of-8 shooting, the highest score of the Lakers team and even this game.

And Kobe Bryant made 2 of 6 shots and scored 4 points, and his performance was miserable.

On the Grizzlies' side, Billups scored 11 points, Maddy scored 9 points, and all other players scored.

In the second quarter of the game, Joe Hai beat Ginobili and partnered with Maddy, who continued to play, on the wing, plus Mike Bibby at the point guard position, and Raheem and Rasione Trovic on the inside.

Coupled with the Lakers' temporary replacement of O'Neal to rest, it was Kobe Bryant and Isaiah Leddle on the court, and the Grizzlies broke out directly.

The first goal of the opening game, the Grizzlies' offense.

Maddie broke through, attracted the pinch, turned to the mid-range Rahim, Rahim shot in the shot, smack, hit!

31:25, 6 points difference.

Then, the Lakers' offense, the ball can only be given to Kobe.

Although Kobe Bryant is not in good shape, in this case, Phil Jackson can only trust Kobe.

But Bryant did return a persistent bad run to Phil Jackson, and in the face of Maddy's defense, Bryant burst into the three-point line from outside the three-point line on the right side.

When rushing to the free throw line, a pull-up jump shot is taken directly.

Maddie jumped high to interfere, and with a bang, the ball was really iron.

The Grizzlies grabbed the rebound inside, and a wave of counterattacks was played, and Maddie assisted Ginobili in the crowd, but Ginobili was interfered with, bang, and didn't score.

The Lakers grabbed the rebound and played a fast break on the back.

In the fast break, Kobe Bryant rushed to the frontcourt, crossed the halfway, and suddenly stopped suddenly.

The Grizzlies couldn't react in time, and watched Kobe Bryant make a three-point shot.

"Chase three points!" In the commentary seat, McBlin exclaimed, but the next second, with a bang, the familiar sound of striking iron sounded again.

"Still didn't score, Kobe's condition continues to be bad, maybe Phil Jackson should consider replacing O'Neal earlier, otherwise this game really won't have to be played."

A wave of Grizzlies offense further widened the gap.

The difference of 8 points was 8 points, but Phil Jackson did not mean to change O'Neal at all, he just stood on the sidelines, waved his hand, and seemed to have made some kind of adjustment.

Qiao Hai teased Phil Jackson with Stanrefour beside him: "Phil Jackson is really different in this game, he hasn't sat down much." ”

In the past, Phil Jackson sat in the coach's seat as soon as he arrived at the game, chewing gum and not moving.

In this game, Phil Jackson stopped chewing gum and didn't sit anymore, he kept standing, directing the team's offense and defense, and he attached great importance to this game at first glance.

The reason is also very simple, for Phil Jackson, this game is really a back-to-back battle.

If you lose, the series will be 0:3 behind, and in the history of the playoffs, there is no team that can turn the tables after falling behind 0:3!

Now the Lakers are 0:2 behind, and 0:2 behind the comeback is still a common occurrence, especially for teams like the Lakers whose first two games are away games, and the last two games back at home can often equalize the score.

After Phil Jackson waved his hand, the Lakers' offense quickly changed.

Not much has changed, it is still Kobe Bryant who takes the ball, and it is still a breakthrough, but this time, Kobe did not stop when he broke into the middle distance, but continued to sprint and rushed into the inside.

Against Maddie's defensive pull-up.

Bang! It's finally in!

After Kobe Bryant scored a goal, the Grizzlies quickly changed their defensive strategy, and the defense was recycled, and Kobe's breakthrough was not so easy.

The margin quickly stretched to more than 10 points, and it looked like it was another easy game for the Grizzlies.

But then, a wave of Lakers' offense is still Kobe's breakthrough.

rushed to the inside one-step position, and Bryant raised his hand to make a layup.

Maddie stretched out his arm to interfere, and Kobe Bryant was forced to change the hand shape of the layup, if he didn't change, he wouldn't be capped.

The consequence of such a change is - bang, the basketball smashed the board, and it didn't go in!

But in the next second, with a beep, the referee suddenly pointed at Maddie and everyone was stunned.

Maddie subconsciously spread her hands, and Qiao Hai on the sidelines also stood up, for some reason.

It wasn't until the referee made a gesture that Qiao Hai and the others understood what was going on.

"Foul! Maddie fouled!? ”

NBC's broadcast quickly gave a replay, and McBrin analyzed: "Maddie's defensive movement is a bit big, but it's clean, and the referee blows it a little hard. ”

Margie Albert followed: "But it's not impossible to blow." ”

The two subconsciously looked at each other, they have been broadcasting the NBA for so many years, they are very familiar with this scene, and they know very well that the referee is looking for a whistle.

"Grizzly bears want to win, it's not that easy......"
