Chapter 327: Good Offense or Bad Defense?

Manuginobili took the ball at the top of the arc and roughly gave a pick-and-roll.

After blocking and dismantling, he roughly moved directly to the right three-point line, and the Lakers went directly to clip Ginobili, and as a result, Ginobili gave a split ball to the side that had just been disassembled.

Roughly receiving the ball, there is an empty space in front of him.

Catch the ball and make another three-point shot!

Swish!

The white net flower is flooded, and the ball is in!

"Another three-pointer! From the king! Will! Send! ”

The Grizzlies bench was boiling, but the Staples Center responded with an endless boo.

At 16:13, the Grizzlies led by three points.

In the Lakers' offensive round, the ball was given to O'Neal, and the big sharks hit hard, forced a layup, and scored two points, 16:15.

Then, there was the Grizzlies' offensive round.

Or Manuginobili's ball at the top of the arc, as well as his and general pick-and-roll.

Billups and Patrick Ewing, who started with a pick-and-roll offense, seem to have been forgotten, but in reality, they are still on the weak side, holding back the Lakers' defensive focus.

Therefore, on the strong side, the Lakers can only defend two with two.

Or Manu Ginobili and the general blocking, this time, the Lakers didn't dare to defend only Ginobili alone, after the blocking, the Lakers could only change the defense.

Then, Ginobili hit big with a small shot, a change of direction, passed Hollis Grant, and in the face of an empty basket, Ginobili made a throw and scored easily.

At 18:15, the Grizzlies continued to hold the lead.

The Lakers' offense, Kobe Bryant's mid-range back hit, turned around and made another step-back jumper.

Bang, didn't go in.

The Grizzlies grabbed the rebound and fought back, with Ginobili and Billups on their side, and the Lakers couldn't defend at all.

As a result, Ginobili attracted the defense with the ball, and Billups on the other side received the ball and scored a layup in the fast break! At 20:15, the Grizzlies extended their lead!

The Grizzlies' offense began to explode unconsciously, and the Lakers' defense simply couldn't cope with the Grizzlies' offense.

Two simple points, one is Manuginobili and the general pick-and-roll, and the other is the pick-and-roll of Billups and Patrick Ewing, and the two sets of pick-and-roll tactics take turns.

After all, the Lakers couldn't parry.

In the second half of the first quarter, Phil Jackson couldn't sit still and called two timeouts in succession.

Replaced by the young and strong Derek Fisher and Robert Horry, he barely stopped the decline.

But in the first quarter of the game, the Lakers' poor defense still allowed the Grizzlies to easily score a 37 points, and the score in the first quarter also became 37:30, a very high score.

The Lakers' offense has done well enough, O'Neal is normal, Kobe Bryant is outstanding, and the OK duo combined for 22 points in the first quarter and the role players only scored 8 points.

On the Grizzlies' side, the starting five all scored and it was average, with Ginobili scoring 9 points off the bench, which was the Grizzlies' highest, and Mike Bibby, who came on in the second half of the first quarter, also scored 5 points.

Everyone has scored, and the Grizzlies' game, which is evenly divided, has almost become a big deal.

The Grizzlies led by seven points in the first quarter, a result that surprised everyone.

"This result was so unexpected, the Grizzlies' offense completely exploded!" Mav Albert couldn't help but sigh.

Magic Johnson shook his head again and again and sighed: "The Lakers' defense is too bad!" Too bad! It seems that Phil Jackson will only adjust the offense, and this Lakers team has no defense! ”

McBrin seconded Magic Johnson: "In the new season, all teams are playing joint defense, only the Lakers, their defense is nondescript, it looks like joint defense, but in fact it is far behind!" ”

In this way, after the first quarter, NBC's live broadcast room became a meeting of criticism of the Lakers' defense.

And at the beginning of the second quarter, this criticism continued and continued, because in the second quarter, the Lakers still played poorly.

In the second quarter of the game, both teams came off the bench.

On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant continued to play, and it was obviously impossible for the OK combination to leave the court at the same time, Phil Jackson knew how terrifying the Grizzlies' bench depth was, if it was a simple substitute to play the bench, the Lakers would lose even their underwear!

In addition to Kobe, the point guard is Derrick Fisher, the small forward is Brian Shaw, the power forward is Robert Horry, and the center is Mark Madsen.

On the Grizzlies side, Qiao Hai's starting lineup is point guard Mike Bibby, scoring guard Manuginobili, small forward Michael Reed, power forward Jamal Magloyer and center Rasione Nestrovich.

A complete bench line-up.

But when the game really started, the Grizzlies' complete bench lineup suppressed the Lakers' semi-main and semi-bench lineup.

Grizzlies' style of play is simple, yet relatively complex.

In addition to the pick-and-roll tactics that had been playing in the first quarter, Qiao Hai added some Princeton offense, which was coordinated by Rasian Nestelovic high post.

Mike Bibby and Manuginobili were in hot form, Michael Reid also hit back-to-back three-pointers from the bottom corner, and Jamal Magloyle's half-volley was starting to come into play.

In this game, Qiao Hai took out all the things he pressed at the bottom of the box.

Block and cut offense, block and pick offense, Princeton offense......

With a bench lineup, the Grizzlies' offense is still playing well.

Four minutes later, the Grizzlies directly played a wave of 12:6, and the score became 49:36, and the difference suddenly stretched to 12 points......

The bitter criticism of the Lakers' defense from the commentators continues.

The Grizzlies are all hilarious.

Phil Jackson called out the third timeout of the game, Qiao Hai was also high, and the substitutions became freewheeling.

The Lakers took a timeout, and Qiao Hai followed and replaced Billups, Roughly and Patrick Ewing, three guards! Two big men who can block and throw!

……

"The Grizzlies' offense is crazy! Before the end of the half, they had already scored 67 points! There are still three points left to break 70 in half-time! ”

"Qiao Hai deserves to be a master of offense, without Tracy McGrady, the Grizzlies still play a fiery offense!"

"I think it's the Lakers' terrible defense that's causing this!"

On the commentary bench, one by one, Magic Johnson still believes that the Lakers' poor defense led to the explosion of the Grizzlies' offense.

Mav Albert was noncommittal.

With more than 2 minutes left before halftime, the Grizzlies scored more than 70 points at halftime.

Johi made a substitution at this time, Michael Reid came on and replaced Mike Bibby, Sean Marion came on and replaced Manuginobili, and Rasian Nesterovic came on and replaced Patrick Ewing.

The Grizzlies continued to play pick-and-roll offense, but their offensive firepower dropped by at least one notch.

It didn't take long for the Grizzlies to score more than 70 points in the halftime in a wave of offense, from roughly hitting a three-pointer in the bottom corner, so no one cared if the Grizzlies switched to the bench.

When the remaining 2 minutes of the game were all over, the Grizzlies led the Lakers by 18 points at 76:58 at halftime!
