The Clippers lead 2-0 at home, and then the two teams need to move to the Grizzlies' home game. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The Grizzlies are also hoping to win one or two games at home in the hope of not being swept away. Facing the Clippers with a strong roster, the Grizzlies basically have no hope of making the Western Conference Finals.

Changing places, the Clippers land in Memphis by plane and challenge the Grizzlies at Federal Express Plaza.

Before the game, Liu Suhe was a guest at Gasol's house, Gasol has a house in Memphis, which is quite clean, and the environment is similar to the house rented by Liu Su in Los Angeles, and there are few neighbors around.

After the Grizzlies returned to their home court, there were signs of refreshment. Under the cheers of the home fans, it broke out with amazing combat effectiveness.

The Grizzlies switched lineup when they returned, with Battier defending Margeti and allowing him to reduce his chances of hitting the interior. In the last game, I thought that Batil would change the defense of Liu Su, so that Margeti broke out and directly beat Gasol.

Eddie Jones defended Mobley at No. 2 and Bobby Jackson defended Liu Su at No. 1. Although Bobby Jackson is weak against Liu Su, it can also reduce Liu Su's impact on the inside, because Bobby Jackson's speed is still very fast, but his height is a little problematic, only about 1.85 meters.

Liu Su looked at Bobby Jackson's height and was a little happy, and shot two three-pointers on Bobby Jackson's head in a row. Bobby Jackson was not happy and began to make small moves when defending.

Liu Su was stunned, and then the attack was no longer so unrestrained, and he began to organize an attack. Brand made a series of layups in the face of the Grizzlies center, and formed a balance with Gasol.

Margeti was limited by Battier on the outside, and Battier didn't have much effect on the offensive end, which was equivalent to a match with Martier.

Mobley and Eddie Jones also became a mutual blowout, both of them are offensive and defensive players, and both can only help the team on the offensive end.

In the case of Liu Su's lack of strength, the two teams actually formed a balance, and until the end of the first quarter, it was still a tie, and they both scored 35 points.

In the second quarter, the Clippers went up and down five times, and the bench lineup came on the court strongly, and soon the Grizzlies were defeated off the bench. The Grizzlies bench only had one Mike Miller who could form an offensive force, but he was defended by Rose, and both of them were swing men who were right in the opposite position.

In the fifth minute of the second quarter, the Grizzlies had to shoot a few more starters, and Eddie Jones and Bobby Jackson came back to increase the Grizzlies' outside attack. The Grizzlies are certainly not as good as the Clippers on the inside, so let's be better than the outside.

The elder Dunleavy saw that the Grizzlies were going to make a substitution, so he immediately replaced Radmanovic and replaced him with Ryan Gomez, who was much better defensively than Rademanovich, but had a strong body and strong ability to break through the guard, plus David Lee, who was also excellent at the guard, the Clippers were basically worry-free inside.

Sure enough, the situation turned out as Dunleavy Sr. expected, and the Grizzlies began to hit the interior frequently. But with Rose, Ryan Gomez, and David Lee defending, the Grizzlies' offense didn't make any difference.

At halftime, the Clippers led by just two points at 64:62.

But there was a turnaround in the third quarter, the starters played again, and Liu Su broke out. Bobby Jackson was very difficult to relax Liu Su because of his great physical exertion, so Liu Su seized the opportunity, used his sufficient physical strength to frequently shake off Bobby Jackson, and then made a quick stop jump shot and made a three-point shot in a row.

Bobby Jackson was sweating on his forehead by Liu Soda, and he scored three in a row, and the score difference was pulled to 7 points. The Grizzlies coach immediately adjusted the lineup and asked Battier to defend Liu Su again, and he couldn't let Liu Su continue to shoot, and if he threw it again, he would go crazy, and he could surrender in the third quarter.

With Battier's restrictions, Liu Su has been a little more restrained, but he is still threatening, often relying on blocking and demolition to score layups or pass assists.

Gasol also has a hand in defending the outside impact, but he is not very sure when facing Liu Su. is also a foreign star, the star whistle treatment is very low, and what can be played now is the home whistle, but Liu Su belongs to the attacking side, almost equalizing the advantage of the home whistle, relying on technology Gasol is not sure not to be fouled by Liu Su.

The only thing that reassures Gasol is that it is difficult for him to be sent off, you must know that he is the core of the Grizzlies, and the core goes down early, and the Grizzlies fans are not willing.

Battier went to defend Liu Su, Margeti once again showed a strong impact, relying on double cover and Liu Su to get rid of the defender at the same time, Liu Su will inevitably pass the ball, Margeti is a threat to the Grizzlies' interior line, and almost no one stands in front of him.

Margeti's strength is very strong, and after rushing up, it is not something that can be organized by an ordinary inner line. The Grizzlies are not strong on either inside, and if they defend Margety, they may be knocked to the ground by Margety.

Two people broke out, and the Grizzlies were completely out of line, and there was only one defensive expert, so who should Battier defend? Defending the No. 1 position, the No. 3 position can't be prevented, and defending the No. 3 position, the No. 1 position is more dangerous.

In the seventh minute of the third quarter, the Grizzlies coach gave up a bit, replacing Bobby Jackson and Eddie Jones, who were already tired, and replaced Mike Miller, who had a break for a while.

This change reduces the Grizzlies' outside offensive power, and Mobley doesn't need to fly too much on the defensive end, spending more energy on offense, and the impact on the Grizzlies' interior line has increased.

Fortunately, in the ninth minute, Gasol began to explode, and he made a single check-in. Kaman couldn't defend Gasol for a while, allowing the Grizzlies to catch up with some points, otherwise the Grizzlies would have surrendered in the third quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, the Clippers led by 14 points at 92-78 going into the fourth quarter. 14 points are not easy to chase because the Grizzlies don't have players who can play crunch time.

There aren't many players in the league who can play key moments, the most famous being Maddie and Reggie Miller, Maddie 35.13 seconds and Reggie Miller 8.9 seconds.

But there are only these two such players for the time being, how can the Grizzlies have them, Gasol, who has the strongest scoring ability, is the inside, and the ability to break out is relatively weak, but Eddie Jones and Mike Miller may suddenly break out.

It's a pity that the Clippers really have defensive players on the outside, and Ross and Liu Su are both strong defensively.

However, Liu Su was not used to play, and Cassel assisted David Lee to shoot two balls in the fourth quarter, which made the Grizzlies fall into despair, because David Lee also feels very good!

In this game, the Clippers basically didn't have too many players, and Hayes, Singleton, and Howard didn't have a chance to play. In the last two games, these three players have a chance to play, because there is garbage time, they can go up and brush up on their presence.

But today the Grizzlies are ready to fight to the end, and if they lose, they won't lose, so many Grizzlies fans are watching! Grizzly Bears up and down are not allowed to surrender in advance anymore.

However, fighting to the end is just a dying struggle, and it still can't turn defeat into victory.
