Chapter 160: Top Offense, Top Defense

Raheem takes the ball in the low post, attracts the pinch shot, and distributes the ball to the top of the arc.

Brad Miller received the ball and was about to shoot, forcing the opponent to defend back, and then passed the ball into the interior again, and the Grizzlies continued to score inside, this time it was Maddy, or a dunk, a light dunk, and scored 2 points.

After the Kings increased their coverage, the offense was also sharp, but the feel was a problem, Nick Anderson shot from outside the three-point line, missed the iron, the Kings were empty inside, and the rebound was grabbed by the Grizzlies.

After grabbing the rebound, the Grizzlies did not fight back with a fast break and continued to play the Princeton offense.

Brad Miller responded with a high position, and Maddie slipped to the baseline to catch the ball, facing an empty basket, and another dunk.

With a clang, the Aco Arena was silent.

Counting Sean Marion's dunk, the Grizzlies dunked three times in a row, the king's basket was about to be broken, and after a short period of silence, the Arco arena was also booed, and the smoother the Grizzlies played, the more they were hitting the king in the face.

It's all Princeton tactics, the king has the founder of Princeton tactics, and the result is not as good as the grizzly bear with mud legs, and this face is almost swollen.

The score on the field was already 8:2, and Rick Adelman's face was a little unbearable.

Pete Carell also reminded loudly: "Rick, you have to adjust the defense, and if you don't adjust, the interior line will be broken." ”

This interior line does mean to be broken, three dunks and one layup, all of which are basket offenses, and the interior line is not defended at all, as long as the Grizzlies adhere to this style of play, maybe they can create a record - a record of all shots in a single quarter.

So, in desperation, less than 2 minutes into the game, Rick Adelman directly called a timeout.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but Qiao Hai didn't expect it.

The Grizzlies opened with a lead, Qiao Hai didn't think Adelman's reaction would be so fast, they were just the time to extend the lead, but the king directly took a timeout, Qiao Hai glanced at the king's side: "They're going to adjust their defense." ”

The King's intention to take this timeout was too obvious, which was to adjust the defense.

Qiao Hai didn't prepare a set of playing styles to play until the end of the game, he always had to adjust, and he just stared at the king's obvious weakness and hit two goals at the beginning, but he didn't expect Adelman to react so quickly, and he adjusted it now.

In the original plan, Qiao Hai wanted to take advantage of the weakness of the king's unprotected center to play a wave and open up the point difference, but now it seems that it is obviously not possible.

"They adjust defensively, and we adjust." Qiao Hai could guess the king's intentions, so he naturally seized the opportunity, the king adjusted his defense, and he adjusted the offense and defense together, and continued to suppress the king.

"Offensively, we work together inside and out, Brad plays high, Sherif plays low, gives the ball wherever he has the opportunity, and Tracy can occasionally take the ball and play alone." On the offensive end, Qiao Hai is going to play the regular Princeton style of play, combining inside and outside, no matter how the king adjusts, the Grizzlies' offense is unguardable by the king.

"Defensively, we spread out and block their outside shots, Sean, your mission has changed." Qiao Hai directly named Sean Marion. "Your job is to defend the basket, no longer have to defend the strong side, protect the basket, don't let the opponent take advantage of it."

Qiao Hai glanced at the King's lineup, there were very few players who could play inside, and only one Webb could play a dozen in the low post.

The starting few small players are all shooters, and Divac's style is also soft, such a lineup, the style of play is obviously outward, then Qiao Hai will defend and expand outward, block outside projection, and leave a Marion inside to prevent the opponent from stealing chickens.

With such an adjustment, the defense was instantly solidified.

After the timeout, the Grizzlies ushered in a new round of offense from the Kings with a six-point lead.

The Kings' offense did not adjust, and continued to get opportunities through cover and pick-and-roll, and by constantly attacking the pass to get open space, the effect was obviously still there, the ball fell back and forth, and finally came to Divac, the mid-range was empty, and Divac shot directly into the shot.

Bang, and didn't go in again.

The king's hand is very problematic, the Grizzlies are stuck on the outside, and the inside line is naturally mastered by them, Sean Marion grabbed the rebound, and then slowly controlled the ball to the frontcourt.

Grizzly's offense, Qiao Hai watched carefully, and he wanted to know what the king's change was.

The Grizzlies are still in regular positions, with Maddie and Sean Marion cutting in the air at the same time, and Mike Bibby wrapping around the corner.

But soon, Qiao Hai discovered the problem.

Divac pressed directly to Bradmiller's approach, interfering with Bradmiller's pass, Chris Webber also blocked Rahim, doing his best not to let Rahim catch the ball, Qiao Hai suddenly understood, interfering with the pass of the high post player, not letting the low post player receive the ball.

This hand is aimed at the grizzly bears, the two big men do not cooperate tacitly and do not have close contact.

It's a real problem, but Joe Hay has always felt that it's not a big problem, because the Grizzlies still have Maddie.

Brad Miller couldn't make a good pass, but Maddie received the ball and singled out Nick Anderson from mid-range to make a pull-up jump shot to continue scoring.

This ball is the advantage of the star, on the Princeton tactics, the Grizzlies' configuration is not as good as the King's interior double strategy, a group of shooters on the outside, but the Princeton tactics, in terms of stars, the Grizzlies are stronger than the Kings.

Maddy, whose total rating has risen to 87 points, is already the highest rated player in the Grizzlies, and Webb, who has the highest total rating on the Kings' side, is only 90 points, but the Grizzlies also have Raheem, who has a total rating of 86 points, two against one, and the Grizzlies have an advantage.

Raheem can draw pinch shots in the low post, and Maddie has the ability to do the same.

But the Kings always ignored Maddie, and now that the Grizzlies can't find a chance, Qiao Hai also plays his old job - superstar basketball, and he directly turns the Princeton strategy into a triangle offense, creating one-on-one opportunities for Maddie to play alone.

Defending Maddy's Nick Anderson is a veteran shooter, spent his peak in the Magic, and only transferred to the Kings this season, this product has a strong projection, the defense is average, this season's decline is serious, and the defense is even worse, against Maddy, Nick Anderson has no chance at all.

So, through Maddie's singles, the Grizzlies scored consecutive points again, forcing the Kings to pinch Maddie.

As soon as the Kings pinched Maddy, the Grizzlies' Princeton offense came alive again.

In this way, the Grizzlies attacked and flourished.

It's that the Kings' offense didn't play very well, not only because of the feel, they gave the ball to Webb again and again, relying on Webber's personal ability to score continuously and find their touch, but the Grizzlies' defense expanded wildly, forcing the Kings to find too good opportunities on the offensive end.

You can only slowly put the spearhead of the attack into the inside line.

But as he played, Rick Adelman gradually discovered that the Kings' offensive efficiency was too poor for the Grizzlies to be incomparable.

At the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies led the Kings by 7 points at 27-20.

In this Princeton battle, Qiao Hai obviously won a quarter.

And in Qiao Hai's opinion, it is not difficult to win the remaining three-quarters, the Kings are obviously suppressed now, and this suppression is not actually the suppression of Princeton's offense, but the suppression of the Grizzlies' defense.

The same team that plays Princeton's tactics, the Grizzlies are more like a team aiming for a championship than the Kings.

Defense wins the championship, no defense, it is impossible to win the championship, the Kings obviously haven't realized this, their defense is average, Divac has no ability to protect the frame, Chris Webber doesn't like defense, white chocolate and Nick Anderson on the outside are not defensive material, and Corris Williams' defense is also average, so overall, the Kings' defense is very poor, with a strong offense, but no defensive foundation.

It's definitely not a lie that defense wins championships.

Therefore, although he knew that his task was to create a gorgeous offense for the Grizzlies, Qiao Hai still took care of the defense, and selected Sean Marion as a one-handed arrangement, as well as Ragabel, and Qiao Hai will have more adjustments and arrangements in the future.

In short, the Grizzlies will be top-notch offensively and top-notch defensively.
