Chapter 241: Battle of Princeton (2)
After a pause, Qiao Hai took a tactical board, drew a few strokes, and then recruited the starters in front of him.
said: "Let's play like this next, don't rotate the defense, we only defend alone, Tracy follows Nick Anderson, don't give him a chance to shoot easily, to Jason Williams, don't pinch the attack, let him burst!" ”
A Jason Williams is just a player who has never averaged more than 15 points per game in his career, and there is no need for the Grizzlies to be pinched by such a player.
But before the Grizzlies played rotational defense, the defense was changed, and it was inevitable to pinch the opponent's ball-handler.
Now, Qiao Hai asked them to only defend alone, not to pinch the attack, and not to change the defense, but Nick Anderson had to die, and this feeling of the goods was cast, which should not be underestimated.
On the offensive end, Qiao Hai thought about it again, and made adjustments at the same time: "Tracy, you don't participate in the Princeton offense first, take the ball more and play alone, if we play the Princeton offense, put the focus on the other side, Mike." ”
Qiao Hai looked at Mike Bibby: "Next you are the main attacker on the outside, remember, the speed of the air cut is faster, run more to the weak side, if the opponent hits you, you pass the ball." ”
Mike Bibby nodded, he was a little excited.
Next, the Grizzlies are going to chase points, Mike Bibby is the main force in chasing points, and Maddie can only show his individual ability through singles.
The timeout ended quickly and the game resumed.
After a timeout, the Grizzlies attacked.
Maddie took the ball first and singled it out.
He attacked this ball very resolutely, without Brad Miller's cover, a change of direction on the outside, showed the flexibility of his body, and then connected to a pull-up jump shot.
Bang, the ball goes in!
The Grizzlies pulled back two points.
But soon, the Kings' offense, Jason Williams broke through with the ball, the Grizzlies did not pinch the shot, and White Chocolate made another throw, this time hit.
At 14:5, the score difference is still 9 points.
The Grizzlies chased the score and played a wave of Princeton offense, Raheem responded in the low post and gave it to Mike Bibi, who took the ball on the weak side, rushed to the inside and threw his shot, and the ball went in, 14:7.
The king's offense, Jason Williams was locked by Mike Bibby, and had no choice but to pass the ball to near the sideline, Nick Anderson received the ball and shot directly against Maddy's defense, he felt that he felt good, even if there was Maddy's defense, this goal could be scored.
With a snap, Maddie jumped high and gave Nick Anderson a big hat directly outside the three-point line! Surprising! The audience was amazed, followed by cheers.
After the Grizzlies counterattacked, Raheem scored 2 points in the low post, 14-9, and the Grizzlies narrowed the gap to 5 points.
But then, the Kings adjusted back and tied with the Grizzlies on the offensive end.
The first quarter was unknowingly over, and the Kings led the Grizzlies by 5 points at 30-25.
Trailing by 5 points in the first quarter, this script Qiao Hai rarely encountered, this time he met, he spent a long time thinking about it, and finally decided on the rotation and playing style in the second quarter.
Switch to Chaunsibilups, then keep Mike Bibby, Maddy and Shaun Marion, and center up Rasiusnetrovic.
At the moment of the playoffs, Qiao Hai is also ready to change the rotation policy.
In the playoffs, many teams have reduced rotations, and some teams with a 10-man or 9-man rotation in the regular season will change to a seven-man or eight-man rotation in the playoffs.
In the regular season, the Grizzlies' main rotation includes three point guards, two scoring guards, two small forwards, two power forwards and two centers.
In the playoffs, Qiao Hai is ready to change it.
Earleboy and Sammak should not play, and Ragabel and Roughly only play at certain moments, so the Grizzlies' rotation will become a nine-man rotation, and most of the time a seven-man rotation.
In the second quarter, Qiao Hai left three starters without changing.
changed a point guard, the purpose was to play double control, and a center was changed, and there was not much reduction in strength.
On the Kings' side, Rick Adelman also made a substitution, Pejastojakovic replaced Corris Williams, Scott Pollard replaced Divac, Tony Decker replaced Jason Williams, and Joan Barry replaced Nick Anderson.
At the end, only one of the starters, Chris Webber, continued to play.
In the second quarter, the king attacked first.
The King's bench depth is good, and several substitutes are strong, especially Tony Deck, whose style is similar to Earleboygins, who has the strength to start, but because of style problems, he is not suitable for starting, so he can only come off the bench and rush on the court.
On the first goal, Tony Decker attacked on his own.
After the breakaway, he made a quick stop jump shot and didn't score.
The Grizzlies grabbed the rebound.
After Sean Marion grabbed the rebound, he shook his hand and counterattacked.
Maddie rushed to the front, flanked by Mike Bibby and Billups with the ball, and Sean Marion also caught up in three steps and two steps.
Four to three in the frontcourt, the king was a little confused in an instant.
This is the change Marion brought to the Grizzlies, he can play the No. 4 position, or he can join the fast attack, but playing the Spurs, Marion's role was not played, because he couldn't defend Duncan, but in this game, his opponent was Webb, and Webb he could defend.
Therefore, Qiao Hai put out this lineup, and he maximized Marion's role at once.
Offense, he can join the fast break, four to three in the frontcourt.
Defensively, he can defend Webb alone, and even defend better than Rahim.
After more than ten seconds in the second quarter, the Grizzlies' fast-break counterattack was fast, and Billups advanced to the front court with the ball, and the scene suddenly climaxed.
Four against three, the three of the Kings' backcourt didn't know how to defend, so they could only defend Billups with the ball first, one staring at Maddy, and the other watching Mike Bibby.
As a result, Sean Marion jumped out, Billups threw the ball into the sky, Sean Marion jumped up, took the ball in the air, held the ball in both hands, and the whole person was higher than the basket, and dunked suddenly!
Bang!
Buckle!
Boom!
The General Motors Arena, which had been silent and suppressed for a while, broke out in an instant, and the cheers like a tsunami of mountains and mountains poured overwhelmingly!
This violent dunk is so wonderful, a photographer freezes this moment, the moment Sean Marion dunks, he is high in the headspace of everyone, Chauncey Billups, Maddie They raised their hands early and cheered.
And Tony Decker and Peja could only open their mouths wide and their faces were full of surprise!
This button, the grizzly bear deducted their morale!
The tide of the game quietly reversed after Sean Marion's dunk.
In other words, even if Sean Marion didn't dunk, the Grizzlies would have turned the tide in the second quarter and taken the initiative.
For a couple of rounds in a row, the Grizzlies defended the Kings' offense and then scored themselves.
The difference was instantly smoothed out until it was overtaken.
Four minutes into the second quarter, the Grizzlies came back with a four-point lead.
Rick Adelman was helpless and called a timeout.
