In the opening attack, Billups controlled the ball at the top of the arc.

In McBlin's view, the Grizzlies' starting lineup has obvious flaws, Raheem can't play, Mike Bibby and Ginobili don't start, and in the Grizzlies' starting lineup, only Billups can really attack with the ball.

"Only Chauncey Billups can hold the ball in the starters, and the offense of this lineup is too problematic!"

The Lakers have only one point of possession in the starter, and the Lakers' defense is very easy, just keep an eye on Billups.

It seems that Qiao Hai is extremely unwise to put on this set of starters.

But when the game really started, the Grizzlies' opening offensive play was beyond everyone's expectations.

Billups holds the ball at the top of the arc, Patrick Ewing pulls it out directly, a simple single block, Billups bursts into the inside!

The Lakers chose to pinch Billups, and Billups passed back.

After blocking the dismantling, Patrick Ewing received the ball, took a step, and shot directly from the middle of the shot.

Bang!

Didn't go in!

At the beginning of the game, Qiao Hai on the sidelines still clapped his hands and applauded, because the Grizzlies' tactics in the opening game were to play like this, focusing on blocking and dismantling attacks.

We didn't score, but the tactics came out and that's the good thing.

The Lakers' offense, Kobe Bryant took the ball outside, and after a single block, he broke in directly, but unlike the Grizzlies, after Kobe broke through, the single-block Hollis Grant did not take it apart directly, but pulled it to the other side.

Obviously, the Lakers' pick-and-roll tactics are still at the level of creating space for small players, and they don't pay attention to the second half of the pick-and-roll.

But this ball, the Lakers still relied on Kobe's personal ability, played small and big, faced the general defense, raised his hand and threw it in!

2:0！

With a bang, the Staples Center erupted instantly, and the cheers were like a tide.

The Grizzlies' offense is still Billups and Patrick Ewing's pick-and-roll.

This time, the Lakers still blocked Billups, but unlike the last time, Patrick Ewing seized the opportunity, took a step inside the free throw line, and hit a shot!

2:2！

The ball goes in, and the boos rang out.

The Lakers attacked, still pulling away from the outside, and Kobe Bryant broke through.

But this time, halfway through the breakthrough, Kobe Bryant found an opportunity and gave the ball in.

O'Neal received the ball, then was caught in the middle and turned and missed a forced layup.

Sean Marion rushes to grab the rebound!

Turn around and fight back! The ball goes to Billups.

And in the frontcourt, the positive Stephen Jackson has thrown off Kobe Bryant and is unbeatable!

After receiving a long pass from Billups, Stephen Jackson jumped up directly and made a layup in the backcourt! 4:2！

The Staples Center was still booed, but when it was the Lakers' turn to get the ball, the boos turned into cheers.

Kobe Bryant singles in the waist position and shoots backward jumpers.

Bang, didn't go in!

Patrick Ewing was in a good position, and the Grizzlies grabbed the rebound again, but this time, Ewing was a little slower to get out of the ball and didn't make a quick break.

Billups directly controlled the tempo and attacked the position.

In the positional attack, Patrick Ewing pulled up high again, and it looked like he was going to give Billups another block, and O'Neal defended it.

At the moment when there was a gap under the basket, Sean Marion jumped in, and Hollis Grant on the other side hurriedly pounced on Marion to make up for the defense......

Billups' pass also arrived, directly to Marion.

Marion catches the ball and runs out of space to shoot.

But he can also pass the ball, cross the bottom corner, and give it a rough look directly to the bottom corner, and Hollis Grant's defense has become a brushed defense, and by the time he turns and pounces back, it's too late.

Roughly catching the ball and raising your hand is a three-pointer!

Swish!

The crisp sound of wiping the net sounded! Ball in!

7:2！

"The Grizzlies easily tore apart the Lakers' defense! Another three-point hit! It's so beautiful! McBrin seems to have forgotten his questioning of the Grizzlies' starting lineup in the opening game.

Marv Albert helped him recall the opening question: "Mike, didn't you say that the Grizzlies' offense would be problematic? ”

McBrin smiled helplessly: "No one thought that Qiao Hai would let Patrick Ewing pull to the top in a row, no one thought that Patrick Ewing's mid-range shooting was still so accurate......"

In short, Qiao Hai made a simple one-handed adjustment to add Ewing to the offense, Ewing kept pulling to the high position, although there were no two small ones on the floor at the same time, the Grizzlies' offense was still alive!

In the opening, the Grizzlies were a simple move - Billups and Ewing in the high post blocked and opened the offense directly.

The Lakers are not bad, in the face of Stephen Jackson's single defense, Kobe Bryant's performance is good, and he has scored consecutive mid-distance singles in a row.

Although the Grizzlies beat a 7:2 in the opening game, relying on Kobe's efforts, the score quickly became 11:9, and the difference was only 2 points.

On the sidelines, Qiao Hai had already called Manuginobili, and he was ready to make a substitution.

On the Lakers' side, Phil Jackson also sat firmly on the bench when Kobe Bryant performed well, and he didn't seem to panic at all.

"Manu, when we play, we will play a double-block and dismantle ......" Qiao Hai is ready to make adjustments by not pausing but only substitutions, after all, the Grizzlies are still leading on the court, and Qiao Hai does not need to call a timeout first.

The Grizzlies were preparing to make substitutions, and on the court, Kobe Bryant made a breakthrough, rushed to the middle distance, and saw Stephen Jackson sticking tightly, so he jumped up directly and raised his hand.

Beep!

The referee followed the whistle and blew!

With a bang, Staples thundered with joy.

Qiao Hai also heard what seemed to be a fan behind him shouting: "Who said that Kobe Bryant can't kill the game!" ”

Qiao Hai wanted to turn his head and shout: "It's what labor and management said!" ”

After thinking about it, I still don't have the same knowledge as them, time will tell!

Bryant walked to the free throw line, and the Grizzlies switched sides.

Because he wanted to play the double block in Qiaohai, Manuginobili replaced Stephen Jackson, anyway, Stephen Jackson couldn't prevent Kobe, so it was better to replace Manu and contain Kobe Bryant on the offensive end.

Bryant hit both free throws, and the score became 11-11.

After the free throws, it was Grizzlies' round again.

This time, the Grizzlies are on the roster, and everything is different, and the first thing the Lakers have to make is that they need to change the center of gravity of their defense.

But obviously, Ginobili had just come on and they hadn't been able to adjust yet.

Therefore, as soon as Ginobili came out, he made a breakthrough, connected with a pull-up jump shot, and scored 2 points with a bang.

At 13:11, the Grizzlies continued to lead.

Kobe Bryant also went crazy, facing the new Ginobili, took the ball in the middle distance, and directly made a backward jumper, boom! Also enter!

13:13！

It's still a tie! But the cheers at the Staples Center are already deafening! It's as if the Lakers have taken a big lead.

At this time, the Grizzlies' offense was just getting started......
