The Warriors have ushered the league into the small-ball era of run-and-shoot shooting, where the three-point shot has become the dominant one, and fewer and fewer teams are committed to playing traditional basketball. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The Memphis Grizzlies are one of them, with traditional center Mark Gasol, traditional power forward Zach Randolph, and traditional point guard Mike Conley, and traditional teams playing the most traditional tactics.

Out-inside, the most concise and classic tactical combination, the Grizzlies have been conscientiously clinging to the unique charm of traditional basketball for seven years, although such tactics have almost been abandoned in the dustbin of history.

The big men of all teams are working hard to practice their three-point shots, but Randolph and Gasol are not, and they still lead the Grizzlies to survive in the gap between speed and passion with solid defense, stable mid-range, and step-by-step half-court position.

Despite their frequent injuries, the Grizzlies have been thriving in the West, where they have been able to play a spectacular season on occasion.

The second game of the new season for the Knicks is to face the Grizzlies at home, Wang Zhuo doesn't like to play a team like the Grizzlies, because Wang Zhuo's tactical style is changeable, while the Grizzlies' tactics are unchanged, unpretentious offense, rock-solid defense, as if giving people a feeling of "he is strong and he is strong, and the breeze blows the hills".

For example, a comedy master faces a cow, no matter how hard he performs, he will not win the laughter and applause of the other party, the two are similar.

Wang Zhuo has studied the Grizzlies' past tactical routines and understands that the Grizzlies' biggest weakness is the three-point shot, it can be said that the Grizzlies are definitely the most non-shooting team in the league, there is no one, the average number of three-point shots per game does not exceed 10, it is conceivable that in today's era of pursuing speed and shooting, the Grizzlies seem so different.

The Grizzlies belong to the small-ball market, and the news and attention are relatively low, and the only controversy is probably the five-year, 153 million contract signed by the leading point guard Conley in the offseason, which almost shocked the entire league.

Moreover, the Grizzlies' management changed head coaches in the offseason, a former Heat assistant coach who did not have any reputation, but despite this, the Grizzlies showed good strength in the opening game, easily beating the talented Timberwolves and getting off to a good start.

The game was played at 7:30 p.m. on October 29, New York time, and the Grizzlies players arrived in New York a day early to practice tactics at the Madison Square Garden players' court early in the morning of the game.

After Wang Zhuo gave the training instructions, he sat on the sidelines and observed the Grizzlies' training content, to Wang Zhuo's surprise, Mark Gasol and Zach Randolph were constantly practicing three-point shooting, and a thought instantly popped up in Wang Zhuo's mind: "The Grizzlies in the new season will also change to small-ball tactics?" ”

The game officially cut to the chase at 7:30 p.m., with the on-site commentators announcing the starting lineups for both sides before the game, with the Knicks starting unchanged, Anthony, Porzingis, Noah, Rose and Grant, and the Grizzlies fielding Conley, Randolph, Gasol, Parsons and Tony Allen.

As the referee's whistle blew, two centers who had won the Defensive Player of the Year award jumped in the center circle, and Gasol beat Noah with his strong physique to win the first offensive power for the Grizzlies.

Conley held the ball over half the court, standing at the top of the circle and directing how the Grizzlies players run, Randolph mentioned the high position, Conley hit the ground and divided the ball, Randolph received the ball with his back and singled Porzingis, Randolph is a traditional power forward, the defense is slightly rough, but the offensive end is never ambiguous, flexible footsteps, skillful step-back jumpers, left-handed shots that are not easy to be prevented, and Porzingis is a hit and a quasi.

Although Porzingis tried hard to defend, his technique was a little immature, and Randolph easily pushed Porzingis away and hit a step-back jumper.

The Knicks looked a little impatient on the offensive end, and Rose faced the defensive stalwart Tony Allen with a three-point jumper, the ball hit the hoop and bounced off, and Gasol carried Noah and took the ball into his arms.

The black and white bears are between an offense and a defense, showing the core style, the Grizzlies can occupy a place in the strong team in the West, the black and white bears are indispensable, it can be said that without Randolph and Gasol Jr., there is no strong Grizzly Bear at all.

Rose's choice on the offensive end is not wrong, if you want to win the Grizzlies, you must improve the speed on the court, and use the best three-point shot to kill the Grizzlies, who are not good at three-point shooting, but the timing of the shot is not good enough, and it is interfered with by Tony Allen.

Gasol Jr. grabbed the rebound and handed it to Conley, the black and white bears are the absolute core of the Grizzlies, but Conley is the starting point of the Grizzlies' offense, because Conley's data is not gorgeous enough and his fame is not big enough, so the media and fans have questioned it, thinking that Conley's strength is not enough to match the sky-high contract of 150 million.

However, Conley's position with the Grizzlies is irreplaceable, his combination with the Black and White Bears has long been perfected, and Conley himself has good scoring ability, especially left-handed shooting, which makes it more difficult to defend on the offensive end.

Sure enough, Conley took advantage of Randolph's cover at the top of the circle and quickly burst into the penalty area, facing Noah, a lingering left-handed throw, and the ball hit the basket.

It's the Grizzlies' best offense, and it's the longest-running tactical strategy, with simple inside breakouts and solid mid-range shooting that barely relies on outside three-pointers.

On the Knicks' offensive end, Porzingis hit a three-pointer near the right side of the circle to break zero for the Knicks and prevent the Grizzlies from further widening the gap on the court.

After that, Gasol Jr. missed the basket inside, Anthony hit a mid-range jumper, the Knicks overtook the score, and Randolph hit another shot to regain the lead.

For a while, the scores on the court were staggered, the Grizzlies were both offensive and defensive, the Knicks focused on offense, and the defense was not weak, and even the on-site commentators couldn't tell which side had the advantage on the court.

However, it is clear to everyone that both sides were testing each other in the first half, and both retained the means to press the bottom of the box, especially the Grizzlies, who showed super offensive strength in the preseason and the first game of the regular season.

At the end of the first half, the score between the two sides was 45:47, and the Knicks trailed by two points, and because both sides worked the defensive end, the score on the court was generally not high.

After a 15-minute break, the two sides started a duel in the second half, with the Knicks taking the lead and Anthony forcing Parsons to hit a mid-range shot to equalize the score.

The Grizzlies had a sudden change in the style of the ball, and the offensive speed increased instantly, and Gasol Jr. was at the top of the circle, receiving Conley's ball, standing on tiptoe, and making a quick stop to shoot a three-point shot.

The situation that Wang Zhuo expected finally appeared, and the Grizzlies really stopped sticking to the rules and began to move closer to the small-ball tactics that swept the league.
