The race started quickly.

Jump ball, Patrick Ewing loses to O'Neal.

Then, the Lakers began to attack, and at the beginning, the Lakers passed the ball into the interior, and O'Neal received the ball and hit Ewing strongly.

Qiao Hai has been observing the Lakers' opening style of play, and he knows very well that O'Neal received the ball at the beginning, which is also a signal, which means that the Lakers' main attack point at the beginning is O'Neal on the inside.

But at the moment, Qiao Hai can't do anything, because he has already done everything before the game starts.

In response to O'Neal's defense, the Grizzlies executed Ewing single-top, roughly finding the right time to go around the front and attack, and the first ball of the opening game, roughly did not choose to pinch the shot, but let O'Neal play alone.

With a bang, the big shark turned around and pushed the gorilla away, and the violent dunk was successful, scoring 2 points first.

Grizzlies' offense, Billups possessed the ball across half court and passed to Maddy.

In the opening game, the Grizzlies tried an attack.

Qiao Hai was standing on the sidelines, and on the other side, Phil Jackson was also standing, in fact, at this time, he was looking forward to the state of the Grizzlies, in his mind, even the state of OK was affected by off-market moves, and the Grizzlies had no reason not to be affected.

Soon, Phil Jackson saw that the Grizzlies were not in good shape.

Maddy singled on the left side, Billups cut on the right, and the Lakers sandwiched Maddy, and Maddy's choice was naturally to divide the ball.

The ball is shifted widely, and the basketball is split to the other side by Maddie.

Then, Billups received the ball, held the ball for Rick Fox, and he distributed the ball to the bottom corner, and Sean Marion in the bottom corner opened his hand to make a three-pointer.

Bang, three points of the absolutely large vacant position, didn't go in!

The Staples Center was immediately filled with cheers.

The Lakers grabbed the rebound and turned around to be a wave of fast breaks, although the Grizzlies were in average condition, they still didn't lose the fast break, and Kobe Bryant's fast-break layup was interfered with by Maddie.

The ball didn't go in, and the Lakers' fast break failed.

The Grizzlies grabbed the rebound and made a comeback.

In the attack of the frontcourt, Maddie singled in the middle distance, shook off the space and threw a shot, bang, still did not score.

Qiao Hai frowned, after these two balls were played, he knew that the Grizzly Bear's state was very average.

The Lakers grabbed the rebound again and tried the fast break again, but it still didn't work, the Grizzlies' retreat was fast, and this time, Kobe Bryant did not hold the ball strongly, but slowed down the rhythm and started a positional battle.

Rick Fox received the ball, responded from mid-range, and Bryant cut to the other side, opened his hand to ask for the ball, but couldn't get the ball.

Derek Fisher circled the bottom corner, received the ball, made a stop, and gave the ball to O'Neal on the inside.

O'Neill singled Ewing again, and Ewing carried the same action.

O'Neal gave up the dunk and opted for a layup.

Bang, successful progress!

O'Neal yelled loudly, and the Lakers opened with a 4-0 lead.

Then, the Grizzlies' offense hit the iron again, the Lakers turned around and played a wave of fast breaks, Kobe Bryant stepped into the restricted area in three steps in the fast break, jumped high, and opened his arms for a violent dunk.

Bang!

The Staples Center cheered wildly, and Joe Hay even saw Jack Nicholson take off his sunglasses and raise his arms in cheer.

6:0, for the Lakers, this start is indeed smooth.

……

Although he was behind at the beginning, Qiao Hai didn't mean to be in a hurry at all.

Because then, he saw Maddie's back-to-back singles.

In the high post, Maddie took the ball and faced Kobe Bryant with his back.

In his previous life, Maddie's back singles were not used a lot, and his offensive routine was generally to take the ball in a high position, break through the emergency stop or retreat step to pull out, in short, a dry pull can solve everything.

If he can't break through, he will also use his back, but when he uses it once in a while, he will always turn his back for one second, and turn around directly the next second, either erasing the opponent and rushing into the inside, or pulling out his hand directly.

But this does not mean that Maddie's arsenal does not have this trick of back play, on the contrary, Maddie's back play is very powerful, no worse than the guard back play master Kobe.

In this ball, Maddie took the ball with his back, Kobe Bryant defended alone, from Qiao Hai's point of view, that is, Kobe's side, Kobe was very nervous.

Maddie took a step, and Kobe Bryant immediately lost his position.

Maddie seized this opportunity, and after a quick first step, Maddie rushed directly into the inside, facing O'Neal's supplemental defense, Maddie hit the ball directly to the basket, Ewing didn't even think about it, and getting the ball was directly a light dunk.

Under Qiao Hai's coaching, Ewing rarely goes to the dunk.

Because Qiao Hai once said to him: "You're not young anymore, Pat, let the young people like Tracy and Sean do the things that are handsome and drive the atmosphere, you can save some physical strength and do something efficient." ”

For example, this light button is very efficient now.

It didn't take much effort for Ewing to easily score 2 points and help the Grizzlies pull back 2 points.

Then, the Lakers' offense, Kobe Bryant singled a ball, and the mid-range back-up did not score, but O'Neal on the inside grabbed the offensive rebound and hit the basket again!

Qiao Hai frowned, O'Neal scored 6 points alone in the opening game, and he looked like he was in hot shape.

He thought about it, walked to the sideline, whistled, and made gestures, which meant that the center of gravity of the defense was changed, and the Grizzlies were going to stare at O'Neal to defend.

As for Kobe, if Maddie goes one-on-one, at least the Grizzlies won't be able to suffer.

After changing the center of gravity of the defense, the Grizzlies' offense is still a positional battle.

Billups took the ball, advanced to the frontcourt, and gave the ball to Maddie again, who was still holding the ball with his back in the high post, facing Kobe's single defense.

On the other side, roughly outside the three-point line with Billups.

Marion's position was in the bottom corner, Ewing was naturally standing in the restricted area, and the five were in position, and the next second, Billups slipped around the sideline, bypassed the rough cover, and suddenly turned back to outside the three-point line.

Then, roughly blocking Fisher, Billups received a pass from Maddy, and he glanced at Hollis Grant.

Hollis Grant was a step slower to defend, and Billups shot straight away.

Jumped up from outside the three-point line, and with a bang, the ball went in!

The grizzly bench seat was immediately boiling, white towels were flying, and Qiao Hai, who was sitting in the coach's seat, was also clapping his hands.

Correspondingly, the Staples Center was naturally booed.

5:8 points, after this three-point shot, the difference quickly narrowed to 3 points.

The Lakers' offense, Derrick Fisher held the ball and gave it to Rick Fox on the sideline, Rick Fox stopped the ball and forced Sean Marion to defend.

Then, he passed the ball inside again.

It was still O'Neal's strong hit, but this time, the Grizzlies were caught in the flank.

O'Neal pinched and chose to split the ball, giving it to Hollis Grant in the middle distance, an absolute big vacancy, Hollis Grant hesitated, shot in the middle, bang, no in.

Ewing found the right opportunity, stuck O'Neal, and grabbed the rebound.

Then, Qiao Hai's shout sounded from the sidelines: "Attack!" Counterattack! ”

The Grizzlies quickly counterattacked, Maddie received the ball, rushed to the frontcourt, and distributed the ball to the left side, Billups received the ball, took a sharp stop outside the three-point line, and directly chased a three-pointer!

Bang!

Qiao Hai was stunned, and the Lakers fans in the stadium were also stunned!

"The ball is in! Chase three points in the fast break! The Grizzlies tied the score directly! ”
