Chapter 299: Grizzly Bear's New Combo
The game was fierce, and a group of young people on the Grizzlies' side rushed directly at Qiao Hai's request.
The Lakers, who have not won against the Grizzlies for a season, are naturally more desperate, the two sides go back and forth on the court, and the opening stage of the game has almost become a battle between the two sides, the Lakers are very poor in defense, and the Grizzlies have been insisting on defense, but they can't prevent the Lakers' offense.
As a result, the audience on the sidelines was fascinated and burst into cheers.
Qiao Hai frowned.
Before you know it, the Grizzlies are behind, with a 3-point difference, and it's not a big problem.
Stephen Jackson followed Kobe Bryant to death, not leaving an inch, but the effect was very average, which made the Lakers' offense very open, after all, O'Neal on the inside could score even if he was caught in the middle.
On the court, the Lakers' offense, Kobe Bryant's single, after passing the cover, immediately rushed out, shook off Stephen Jackson, and raised his hand to shoot.
Stephen Jackson gritted his teeth and chased back, seeing that he couldn't prevent it, he rushed and pounced directly.
With a beep, the referee blew the whistle.
Stephen Jackson fouled.
Byron Scott smiled off the field: "It seems that the starting position gives Stephen a lot of encouragement. ”
Qiao Hai also smiled and nodded, this is a good thing, this shows that there is still competition within the team, and there is competition and there is naturally progress, although the game has been played so far, Stephen Jackson is suspected of using too much force.
The game was still fierce, Bryant stood on the free throw line and hit two free throws, and the Lakers' lead reached 5 points.
Then, the Grizzlies offense, Billups assisted Sean Marion to hit a three-pointer, and the gap narrowed to two points.
Then, it was Kobe Bryant, a mid-range jumper, facing Stephen Jackson's defense, and hitting the iron! But Shaquille O'Neal on the inside grabbed the rebound and pulled up a violent dunk! Make-up basket success! The Lakers held on to their lead.
The Grizzlies' offense was still Billups' breakaway, combined with Stephen Jackson's air cut, and found another opportunity, but Stephen Jackson's breakthrough layup was missed, and the rebound was grabbed by Hollis Grant.
The Lakers fought back and scored two more points, extending the gap to six points.
At the beginning, the Lakers relied on the OK combination to break out and played a wave of 14:8, leading the Grizzlies by 6 points, at which time, Qiao Hai called a timeout.
In this Lake-Bear battle, NBC, ESPN and other TV stations arranged live broadcasts in the United States at the same time, NBC, McBrin and Marf Albert partnered to explain the game, at the beginning, the Lakers suppressed the Grizzlies, and forced Qiao Hai to call a timeout first.
McBrin couldn't help but sigh a few words: "The impact of Maddy's absence is still quite large, without Maddy, the Grizzlies' offense has dropped by at least two notches." ”
Mav Albert was a little weird: "The Grizzlies have a way to improve their offense, such as switching to Mike Bibby and Chancey Billups, or starting Manuginobili, which can solve their offensive problems, but Joe just didn't do that, which is weird." ”
When Mav Albert felt strange, Joe Hay had already made a substitution.
Manuginobili came on and replaced Stephen Jackson, who had been fighting for more than five minutes.
Stephen Jackson left the court, and Qiao Hai walked up and patted him on the shoulder: "Good job, Stephen." ”
Stephen Jackson grinned, started for more than five minutes, scored 3 points on 1-of-3 shooting on the offensive end, and although he failed to prevent Kobe Bryant on the defensive end, he did his best, his performance was indeed not bad, but Stephen Jackson still felt regretful, because he didn't seize the opportunity.
Stephen Jackson knows very well that if he wants to sit firmly in this starting position, this performance is obviously not enough, at least, when he starts, the team is behind, and on the offensive end, Stephen Jackson's performance is not good, it can only be regarded as average.
If Stephen Jackson can also contribute on the offensive end, there will be no need for Joe to switch to Manuginobili.
Ginobili came on the stage, and Mav Albert said with some expectation: "Manu Ginobili is on the field, in the first two games, this defender from Argentina performed well, I don't know if this game, facing the super quarterback of the United States, will he be able to continue the excellent performance of the first two games?" ”
At the same time as replacing Ginobili, Qiao Hai replaced Rahim roughly and strengthened the interior defense.
The timeout ended, and the Grizzlies' chase began.
Chaunsibilups possesses the ball and Manuginobili cuts in the air.
Kobe Bryant stalked Ginobili to the death, but after a cover on the inside, Ginobili still ran out of space, received the ball near the free throw line, and raised his hand to shoot an arrow on horseback!
Kobe Bryant pounced hard from behind Ginobili!
The basketball crossed an arc, and with a bang, it went into the net!
Manuginobili once again scored a goal with a strange posture, 14:10, a 4-point difference.
On the sidelines, Qiao Hai clapped his hands, and after Ginobili came on the court, the Grizzlies' offense regained its vitality at a speed visible to the naked eye, because Ginobili can form a cooperation with Billups, and the two add up, 1+1 is not only equal to 2, but may even be equal to 3 equal to 4.
The Lakers' offense, the ball was given to the inside, O'Neal hit hard, and Patrick Ewing withstood O'Neal to the death.
roughly rushed up to wrap the clip, but O'Neill turned around directly, clanged, and buckled! At 16:10, it is still a 6-point difference.
The offense of the OK combination is fully open, and the Grizzlies have nothing to do about it, with a 6-point lead, Phil Jackson instantly became active, he stood on the sidelines, emphasizing defense, as long as he defends well, the Lakers in this game can even take a huge lead in the opening, which will never be done by the Lakers last season.
Grizzlies' offense, Billups quickly took the ball across the halfcourt, and Ron Harper stepped forward to force Billups to prevent Billups from breaking through quickly.
But at the same time, Ginobili rushed to the outside of the three-point line, and it was immediately a quick air cut, and Kobe Bryant followed closely and rushed in, but after all, it was still a step slower.
Billups found the right time, a ground pass, passed a advance, and happened to find the fast-moving Ginobili, Ginobili received the ball, controlled the ball, and then lifted the basketball with his right hand, and together with his left hand and right hand, he hugged the basketball and took a big step, directly starting his European step.
"Manu Ginobili's European Step!" Mafu Albert screamed.
On the court, Kobe Bryant has lost his defensive position and can only follow Ginobili to eat ashes, and Hollis Grant can only turn and pounce on the middle.
Ginobili jumped up under the basket, and Hollis Grant opened his teeth and claws, raising a huge slap, trying to give Ginobili a big hat, but Ginobili twisted his body in the air and suddenly passed the ball outward!
The bottom corner of the roughly raised hand shoots!
"Three points! Pretty! The ball is in! ”
The difference was chased to 3 points remaining.
The Lakers' offense, the ball is given inside again, and O'Neal still wants to play hard.
Patrick Ewing was strong, O'Neal turned around and wanted to go to the basket, grabbed the ball with one hand, stretched out his right arm, stretched hard towards the basket, and looked like he wanted to dunk.
Old Ewing is experienced, and immediately seized the opportunity, and he was a big hat close to him!
Bang, the basketball is fanned!
The Staples Center was immediately filled with exclamation.
The Grizzlies had a rare chance of defending against a wave of offense from the Lakers.
After serving, they continued to attack positionally.
It's still the cooperation of Billups and Manu Ginobili, this time it was Ginobilli who broke through with the ball, attracted the defense, and gave Billups who went inside on the left side, Billups received the ball and controlled it twice, a pull-up jump shot, and also scored 2 points.
The margin narrowed to 1 point, and the Grizzlies' Ginobili and Billups duo instantly became powerful......
