Chapter 268: Tough Grizzly Bear

The Grizzlies used to give the Lakers the impression that they were underdogs, and every time the Lakers beat the Grizzlies, they would be powerless. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 InfoThe Grizzlies are slightly stronger this year and haven't taken the Lakers too seriously.

In the first game, they showed strong offensive and defensive capabilities, and the interior line composed of Randolph and Gasol Jr. is no worse than the interior line of the league's strong teams.

On the outside, Mike Conley and OJ Mayo are both players with strong scoring ability, Tony Allen and Sean Battier are defensive giants, and Sam Young and Darrell Arthur are all good rotation players.

The starting lineup of the Grizzlies is Gasol Jr., Randolph, Sean Battier, Tony Allen, and Mike Conley. And their star player, Rudy Gay, missed the playoffs due to injury in the middle of the season, otherwise the Grizzlies would be stronger.

Randolph showed a strong desire to attack from the start, and Gasol was unable to defend against him. Gasol was slow, at least much slower than Randolph. After Randolph pulled out, it was easy to get space to shoot, and by the time Gasol caught up, he had already made a shot.

Sean Battier and Tony Allen stalked Wu Di and Kobe Bryant, causing a lot of trouble for the two. Tony Allen is young and strong, and Kobe Bryant has never had a good chance. When Tony Allen was with the Celtics, he was specifically used to defend Kobe, and the Celtics didn't have a chance to meet in the first two years, and they caused a lot of trouble for Kobe Bryant when they met last year.

Wu Di's situation is much better than Kobe, although Sean Battier is also a defensive expert, but his strength and physical strength are not Wu Di's opponents at all. Wu Di unceremoniously crushed his old friend with his strength, smashed the inside line, and created an opportunity for Bynum and Gasol to attack. Otherwise, the Lakers would have fallen behind the Grizzlies in the first quarter.

Randolph once again shook off Gasol and made a successful shot, and the Zen master called a timeout. It was the sixth minute of the game, and in those six minutes, Gasol had lost six times to him, and there was no way to defend him.

The Zen master had to call a timeout, and he needed to switch to a defender who could keep up with Randolph. However, he did not choose the UAE and did not replace Gasol, he chose Pekovic to replace Bynum. Compared to Gasol, Bynum's form is not very good.

Wu Di glanced at the UAE helplessly and saw the disappointment in his eyes. But he can't help it, after all, the UAE has only arrived at the Lakers this season, and it is normal for him to be distrusted in the eyes of the Zen master. He didn't prove himself in the regular season, and while he was a lot better than he was with the Wizards, it was clearly not enough.

After coming on again, Pekovic's high-speed movement did cause a lot of problems for Randolph, and he couldn't find a good shot for a while. However, just now the Grizzlies replaced OJ Mayo, and Randolph immediately played with OJ Mayo.

Wu Di was pulled far away by Tony Allen, watching O.J. Mayo make a layup under Gasol's defense.

Coming back, Wu Di glanced at Kobe Bryant, and then stretched out three fingers. Bryant nodded, then turned his head and started running.

Each team has a certain number of tactical gestures, and the Lakers' tactical gestures are more special, because the Lakers have many cores, and tactical gestures are also divided into two categories. One is a general class and the other is a special class. The Lakers always have two offensive with the ball, Kobe Bryant and Wu Di, who will release general tactical gestures when they hold the ball.

And the special class is the tactical gesture between Wu Di and Kobe, which is only aimed at the two of them. Wu Di's gesture just now is a special type of gesture, this gesture requires the cooperation of two people, find an empty position by blocking each other, and then shoot three points.

This tactic is often used by the two, and it only takes a gesture to know what is needed.

The two ran against each other, and Kobe Bryant helped Wu Di block Tony Allen, allowing Wu Di to face OJ Mayo.

OJ Mayo is 196cm tall, 7 cm shorter than Wu Di, not to mention, his defensive ability is not very good. Wu Di easily completed the shot on his head, and OJ Mayo just reached out to block it and watched Wu Di shoot.

A three-pointer was scored, and the Lakers pulled away the score.

O.J. Mayo and Randolph were tough to guard, with Tony Allen and Mike Conley pulling Wu Di and Fisher apart, both of whom had good three-point ability. Tony Allen is a typical 3-and-D player, and Wu Di doesn't dare to let go of him to make up for the defense.

As a result, at the end of the first quarter, the Lakers only led by 2 points.

When it came to the second quarter rotation time, the rotation of Wu Di and Kobe Bryant gave the Lakers a lead.

But in the third quarter, Gasol Jr. suddenly became powerful and beat Bynum again and again. Bynum's form today was not very good, and now he has become even weaker under the attack of Gasol Jr. The Zen master replaced Gasol to defend, wanting his brother to teach his younger brother a lesson, but the elder brother was taught a lesson by his younger brother instead.

Gasol has reached a period of decline, while Gasol Jr. has grown, he is catching up with his brother, and I believe he will grow even more next season.

Gasol Jr.'s outburst in the third quarter made the Lakers' efforts in the first two quarters come to naught.

The game that should have ended in the third quarter had to fight for the fourth quarter.

"Look at you! Wu! The Zen master said before Wu Di came on the court: "I don't want to lose the first game!" ”

"Leave it to me!" Wu Di nodded in reassurance, then looked at his teammates, "I'm going to take over the ball!" ”

"Of course!" Pekovic nodded cooperatively.

Playing with Wu Di are Pekovic, UAE, Sun Yue and Ariza, these four people can help Wu Di open up space except for Pekovic.

After coming on the court, the Grizzlies adjusted back to the starting lineup, but Tony Allen did not play, and it was OJ Mayo.

With such a lineup, the Grizzlies have a strong offensive power, and Pekovic resisted Gasol Jr. to the death and did not let him get close to the basket. Gasol Jr.'s touch dropped, and he couldn't force his way in. Randolph has the UAE to follow up, and although it can't prevent him from hitting hard, it can prevent him from shooting from outside the box. OJ Mayo's breakthrough also encountered difficulties in the face of Sun Yue's defense, and Mike Conley also had to face Ariza's defense, and it was difficult to have chances.

Each of them has been there for almost 30 minutes, and they are already a little tired, and the UAE, Sun Yue, and Ariza haven't even hit for ten minutes, and their physical strength is still sufficient.

The most important thing in the playoffs is luck, followed by physical strength, and then skill. Without luck and physical strength, no matter how good the grizzly bear's skills are, it will be difficult to make a difference.

On the contrary, the Lakers' rotation players have sufficient physical strength and have the strength to start, and it is time for the Lakers to perform.

"Now, it's time for us to fight back!"
