Chapter 301: Blocking the Attack

The Grizzlies won, and without Maddy, they still beat the Lakers, and so far, the Grizzlies' record against the Lakers, counting the playoffs, is already a 9-game winning streak.

In this game, the Grizzlies scored 6 double-doubles, and all the players who played scored in their accounts, which can be called a soldier for all.

So, after this game, the Grizzlies' new tactics also sparked heated discussions.

In this game against the Lakers, the Grizzlies played a pure blocking and cutting tactic, with Billups, Ginobili and Mike Bibby respectively holding the ball to break through or various air cuts, Michael Reed, Sean Marion, roughly catching three-pointers, and occasionally letting Raheem play a low single.

The whole offense was played smoothly without the slightest stagnation.

The Grizzlies who don't play Princeton's offense can still play flashy offense.

ESPN expert Mark Stein analyzed the Grizzlies' offensive play: "This set of tactics should be a variant of the pick-and-roll strategy, every offensive round, the Grizzlies' offense is full of all kinds of screens and air cuts, the difference is that the players who break through with the ball rarely shoot themselves, they are always passing, and the covering players are rarely able to get the ball, unless they turn around to get an open space." ”

"Everybody's passing, everybody's moving, and there's all sorts of pick-and-roll and run-and-shoot in between, so the Grizzlies' overall offense is incredibly fluid, and even if they can't find an opportunity, they're going to keep running."

"It's full of moves, and the Grizzlies' offense is naturally gorgeous from a visual point of view."

Mark Stein analyzed the fur, and Bill Simmons, a special columnist for Hoop Sports, also wrote in a special article: "In the post-game interview, Coach Qiao Hai called this style of play a blocking tactic, which is very appropriate. ”

"Different from the blocking and dismantling tactics, in the blocking and dismantling attack, the emphasis is on covering and dismantling, and it is the cooperation between the ball carrier and the covering player, while this set of blocking and cutting offense emphasizes blocking and dismantling, there is a blocking and dismantling of the ball holder, and there are also blocking and covering of the air cutting player, and there are many changes on the offensive end, and everyone has their own role......

Because of a victory, Qiao Hai was blown into the sky again, and the analytical articles of Mark Stein and Bill Simmons are okay to say, after all, there are dry goods, and another ESPN expert named Brian Windhorst is purely blowing for the sake of blowing.

After reading Mark Stein's analysis, he directly typed a big headline: "After playing the triangle offense and Princeton tactics, Qiao Hai began to create his own offensive tactics." ”

Qiao Hai was helpless for a while, didn't this recruit him black?

The Grizzlies' tactical play this season is, strictly speaking, a kind of pick-and-roll tactics, but it incorporates some other tactical concepts, such as the air cut and reverse run in the Princeton offense, and the fast offense and defense in the run-and-gun offense.

Because the "No-hand-check" rule has not yet been implemented, the Grizzlies' offensive play is still relatively restrained, and the effect is not maximized, but compared with the Jazz's blocking and pick-and-roll offense, there are more routines, a wider range of cooperation, and naturally more opportunities.

If it is seriously run-in, this set of offense can indeed become a set of pure offensive tactics.

Compared with Bryan Windhorst's blowing for Qiao Hai, Qiao Hai is more willing to admit that this tactic is a kind of blocking and dismantling tactics.

……

The Grizzlies' win over the Lakers is not new news, so there was much less discussion of the Lakers' loss after the game than about the Grizzlies' new tactics, and Phil Jackson still hasn't been able to prove himself, and last season, he was already said to be the godfather of the dynasty in vain, and after this loss, this statement is even more so.

Lakers fans are still clamoring for the team to fire Phil Jackson, but the problem is that the Lakers didn't fire Phil Jackson at the end of last season, and the new season has just begun, and the Lakers are even less likely to fire Phil Jackson.

Phil Jackson is alive in the position of head coach of the Lakers, and he still has a chance, but there is only one chance - to win the championship.

Therefore, Phil Jackson doesn't care too much about losing one or two games to the Grizzlies in the regular season, anyway, losing one or two games will not affect his position, in the playoffs without winning or losing, his position is still stable, if he can win one or two games, he may be able to earn impression points, but the focus is still to win the championship.

As long as he can win the championship, Phil Jackson will prove himself.

After losing to the Grizzlies, Phil Jackson led his coaching staff to study it.

The Grizzlies are still very strong in the new season, obviously, the Grizzlies are still the biggest enemy on the way to the Lakers' championship, and the Lakers still have a chance to study the Grizzlies thoroughly.

Gregg Popovich of San Antonio has the same idea, but his approach is different from Phil Jackson, who always wants to deal with Qiao Hai, his tactics will not change, and he insists on the triangle attack to the end, while Popovich's idea is to find where the Grizzlies excel and then use it himself, such as last season's small-ball play.

……

The Grizzlies are on a three-game winning streak and the first week of the regular season is over.

The 76ers played one more game and finished first with a 4-0 record, followed by several teams with three straight wins, the Grizzlies, Spurs, Jazz and the Cavaliers in the East, and all but these five teams lost more or less one or two games.

All five teams won, and the Player of the Week for the first week was chosen.

The Western Conference Weekly Championship is Karl Malone, averaging 31.7 points, 11.7 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, and the 37-year-old Karl Malone is old and strong.

The best of the week in the East is naturally Iverson, four consecutive wins, Iverson averaged 25.3 points, 9.8 assists and 2.0 steals per game, Iverson suddenly changed the mode, not to take the ball alone, but to start passing, this season, the 76ers' role players also performed well, starting Theolatliff, Eriksno, and the bench Aaron McGee averaged double-doubles per game in four games.

Dillon Hill, George Lynch, Vernon Maxwell and Tony Kukoc are also consistently able to score in double figures.

In the new season, the 76ers have assembled a group of excellent role players, plus superstar Allen Iverson and Larry Brown's iron-clad defense, and it looks like they are about to make a difference.

The Grizzlies didn't win the Weekly Awards, but Manuginobili was named to the shortlist, and the Grizzlies' all-for-all style of play still suffered a bit when it came to competing for individual honors.

But at least until Maddy returns, the Grizzlies won't change their style of play.

…………………………

After a day in Los Angeles, the Grizzlies are back in Vancouver.

Next, they will face the Hawks, who have lost three in a row in the new season.

In the new season, the Hawks let go of meritorious coach Lenny Wilkens and hired newcomer Long Krueger as the team's new coach, Isaiah Ryder is gone, with last season's main lineup, the Hawks still want to struggle, but the key is that the opening three consecutive defeats, it seems that the Hawks' struggle is also futile.
