The Grizzlies' outside line has a fight with the Spurs. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"White Chocolate" isn't a star, but he's also an upper-average starting point guard.

Bonzi Wales, nicknamed "The Stick", is also a physical defender, although the three-point point is not very good, but he has a strong breakthrough.

The small forward position is Sean Battier, who is not going to the Rockets now, and is certainly not so famous in China, but he is famous in the United States.

He spent four years at Duke University, a prestigious basketball school, and in his senior year, he led Duke to the NCAA championship and won all individual honors, which can be described as a "household name".

Of course, Battier, who is not so physically strong, failed to become a star after entering the NBA.

But he is recognized as the smartest and most reasonable player to play, always in the right position and make the right choice.

He was the All-Defensive Player in the NCAA and made it to the NBA, where he was still recognized as a defensive stalwart despite not having particularly dazzling steals or blocks.

On the offensive end, Battier doesn't seem to have many opportunities with the Grizzlies, but his solid fundamentals and Superman's ball quotient ensure that he rarely wastes opportunities.

He's the kind of player who is best suited to be a teammate.

Lu Xiaofeng thought before the game that the Grizzlies would use Battier to defend Kobe.

Unexpectedly, it was Wales who defended Kobe.

Although Wales is in good health, he is not a good defender, and Lu Xiaofeng certainly wants Kobe Bryant to play more.

Unexpectedly, there was a low-level mistake in the first attack.

When it was the grizzly bear's turn to attack, the fancy dribbling of "White Chocolate" was famous, and Lu Xiaofeng was not ready to grab him directly.

"White Chocolate" had no intention of attacking, and when he got to the front, he passed to Battier on the flank.

And the Grizzlies' first offense was unexpected, with Gasol on the inside, ready to single Odom.

Battier's pass was timely and Gasol picked it up with ease.

As soon as Gasol got the ball, he didn't attack directly, but leaned on Odom and turned his head to watch the Lakers' defense.

Butler recycled and prepared to wrap the bag, but Gasol raised the ball and seemed to be about to pass out, so Butler had to pounce to defend Butler.

Battier's three-point shot was also close to 40 percent, but he couldn't put it down.

As soon as Butler left, Gasol moved, turned around with the ball, and took a step closer to Odom.

Odom was pressed down, so he could only raise his hands high and slid to block.

But Gasol only dribbled the ball once, then put it away and went straight to a big hook.

He was already taller than Odom, and he had such long arms, and Odom had no choice but to raise his hands and count on Gasol to strike the iron.

But Gasol has a soft feel comparable to that of a guard, such a simple hook hand, about a meter away from the basket, of course, the hand is caught, hollow into the net.

This is also expected by the Lakers, Odom is so defensive, it is impossible to guard him.

Odom didn't care, turned around and took the ball to the sidelines, and threw the serve to Lu Xiaofeng.

It was the Lakers' turn to attack again, and when it came to the frontcourt, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but glance at the basket.

This time, he didn't make a mistake, and when he saw that Kobe Bryant was in the position, he passed it directly.

"Beep!"

As soon as Kobe Bryant got the ball, the referee blew the whistle, and Wales pushed too hard and was whistled for a foul.

Lu Xiaofeng served on the sideline and directly gave Kobe Bryant to the bottom line.

After a tentative step, Kobe Bryant jumped straight to shoot.

"Beep!"

"Shh

The referee blew the whistle again, and the crowd booed.

Defending is not just a matter of being physical, it also requires smart prediction and appropriate trade-offs.

Perhaps too jealous of Kobe's jumper, Wales stuck too tightly to Kobe's defense, and as soon as Kobe made a shot, his hand slapped Kobe's elbow.

Of course, this "three-no-stick" shot could not be hit, but Kobe Bryant got a free throw opportunity.

In a matter of seconds, Wales committed two fouls, less than a minute into the first quarter.

The old coach Hubby Brown's tactical arrangement was disrupted and had to replace Wales with McMiller.

In Lu Xiaofeng's view, a lineup like the Grizzlies may be more threatening.

Although McMiller's defense is terrible, his three-point shooting is not comparable to Wales.

Of course, Hubby Brown will not let McMiller defend Kobe, and doing so is no different from surrendering and admitting defeat.

After Bryant hit both free throws, it was the Grizzlies' turn to attack, and the Lakers took the lead in switching defenses.

McMiller's style of running and shooting three-point play is too physically demanding to defend, although Lao Mei doesn't know "Tian Ji Horse Racing", but everyone understands the truth that "good steel should be used on the blade".

The task of defending Miller was, of course, given to Butler, who had fewer roles on the offensive end.

Bryant confronted Battier.

The offensive and defensive duel in Lu Xiaofeng's memory was staged in advance, but the first challenge that Battier brought to Kobe Bryant was not defense.

Battier passed the ball to Gasol, and the veteran Kobe Bryant didn't go to the bag at the first time.

As soon as Gasol saw it, he was about to beat Odom again.

He took Odom on top and started dribbling.

Bryant suddenly took it back and immediately wrapped it up.

But Gasol dribbled the ball, but he was not in a hurry, and as soon as his hand was raised, the ball flew out of Kobe's armpit.

Kobe Bryant hurriedly fought back.

But as soon as Battier received the ball, he shot directly, and Kobe Bryant didn't dare to jump directly to block, so he could only raise his hand to interfere.

"Huh!"

Battier's three-point hollow net.

Defensive titan Battier gave Kobe Bryant a dismissal on the offensive end first.

Of course, Kobe Bryant will not admit defeat and actively run when he turns around.

And Lu Xiaofeng, who was a little upset, had no interest in taking the initiative to attack at all, so he passed it directly.

Battier is not Wales, not close or far away to defend Kobe, squatting slightly, not sticking up.

Battier is a few centimeters taller than Kobe Bryant, and his arm span is also very good, and Bryant didn't choose a direct jumper when he got the ball.

Kobe Bryant swayed several tentative steps in a row, and Battier kept adjusting his steps slightly, his hands held high, not shaking at all.

He didn't want to completely prevent Kobe Bryant, as long as Kobe's efficiency was reduced.

Undoubtedly, in the face of defenders who are taller than you, choosing to shoot dry is definitely the least efficient.

And Kobe Bryant also knew this, and after the feint failed, he chose to break through.

But Battier's lateral movement was very fast, and he stopped Kobe Bryant at once.

Bryant dribbled towards the baseline, turned around, leaned on Battier and began to hit his back.

But he hit it a few times, but he couldn't stand it, and he was about to collect the ball and jump shot.

But when he turned around, he found that Battier was not shaken at all, and was still in front of him.

Bryant was another shooting feint to trick Battier.

But Battier held his hands straight up, clinging to him, just not jumping.

In the past, Kobe Bryant would care so much, it must be a step-back jumper.

But recently, Kobe Bryant has been used to playing reasonable basketball with a relaxed and pleasant lightheart, and when he saw a bad opportunity, he chose to pass.

But after Lu Xiaofeng received the ball at the top of the arc, he didn't shoot at the first time, and wanted to pass the ball when he got it.

Lu Xiaofeng raised his eyes and looked, but his teammates didn't have a good chance.

He immediately put the ball down and started dribbling.

"Cast!"

Bryant shouted.

Lu Xiaofeng noticed that there was not much time, so he hurriedly took a step back and threw the ball.

Although "White Chocolate" is not good defensively, it is not out of position with such a simple shot.

He didn't jump, he also raised his hands and stuck up.

"Directly? Throw, Xiaofeng is too hesitant to shoot! ”

"Three points, are they? Oh, that's a pity! It seems that the back-to-back impact is quite large. Xiaofeng's accurate three-point shot was affected. ”
