The defensive intensity of both teams suddenly increased at this point, and the court was immediately filled with fouls, hand-to-hand combat, and trash talk.

In this kind of hand-to-hand combat, both teams are very difficult to score, both teams are desperately playing, but the effect is not very good, both teams focus on defense, and the offense is much worse.

At the end of the second quarter, the two teams played 47:40, and the Grizzlies still slightly led the Nets by 7 points, and the difference was not large, the Grizzlies did not completely kill the Nets, and the Nets did not seem to have any advantage.

The game between the two teams has actually entered a stalemate, in which whoever finds a way to deal with it first will take the lead, both teams are trying, and now it is up to them to find a way first.

In the third quarter, the two teams returned to the court, and the game started with the Grizzlies' ball, and the Grizzlies came up still trying to play low.

But in the first half, the Nets were beaten too painfully by the Grizzlies in the low post, and at this time, they came up to defend extremely desperately, and they didn't give the Grizzlies a chance to play in the low post.

The Grizzlies couldn't play the ball in the low post and could only transfer it to the high post, and the OJ Mayo on the high post side saw a chance to take the ball, and the opponent's defense was near the penalty area, so he took the ball and dribbled and raised his hand to throw a mid-range.

Mayo still has offensive ability, and the Grizzlies came up to score two points first.

Barkley said at this time: "Now it seems that most of the Nets' defensive attention is in the low post, and at this time, it depends on the play of the Grizzlies' outside players!" ”

The little general is also gambling at this time, he can't help but gamble, compared to the outside projection, he still thinks that it is better to defend the low post first.

The Nets stuck to the low post at the cost of being shot from the outside of the opposition to a mid-range.

The Nets' defense of the Grizzlies is focused on the low post. The Nets' defense of the Grizzlies is focused on defending Horn.

Horn once the third quarter reached the opponent's half. Immediately the Grizzlies' strong defense arrived. Tony Allen came up and bumped into Horn's body, and he also gave Horn 100 per cent physical duels without the ball.

Horn didn't care so much at this time, pushed Tony Allen with his arm, and then immediately went out to get the ball.

Horn took the ball, Henry Foss immediately came up to block Horn, Horn took advantage of Henry Foss's block to dribble upward, and then suddenly pulled up and threw a three-pointer.

Horn pulled away from the three-point shot. Tony Allen was hit by Henry Foss, and there was no defense in place, Gasol Jr. didn't dare to pounce, and Horn's three-point shot went into the Grizzlies' basket as soon as he shot.

"Brush!"

Horn also hit a three-pointer to make it 49:43, and the difference between the two teams was still hovering around 6 points.

The Nets came up with Horn's unreasonable three-point shot, and the Grizzlies came up unreasonable, the Grizzlies are currently in good physical condition, Rudy Guy took the ball and rushed and then raised his hand to deceive Wallace with a foul.

At present, the confrontation between the two teams is relatively fierce, and it is very easy for each other to take feints. Wallace was easily deceived by Guy.

Stepping up to the free throw line, Guy hit both free throws. The Grizzlies scored a lot better in the third quarter than in the second.

The Grizzlies played well, and the Nets were not idle, and Williams immediately played a pick-and-roll with Horn in the Grizzlies' half, and then pulled the ball back to Horn.

Horn took the ball and dribbled forward, seeing that the opponent's defense was in front of him, he suddenly passed the ball to Stevens on the bottom foot, Stevens was in a big empty position at this time, and Stevenson raised his hand to score three points in the open position.

At 46:52, the difference was still 6 points, and the Nets hit 2 three-pointers in a row as soon as they opened, and the Grizzlies' attention to the three-point line immediately increased a lot.

The Grizzlies are now starting to notice the three-point line, but by this time Horn is gradually finding his senses, and he has just hit a three-pointer and an assist, and his personal feeling is perfect.

After the halftime break, his physical condition was also very good, and at this time the Nets were in the Grizzlies half again.

When Williams passed the ball to Horn, Horn jumped to the top of the arc and immediately dribbled two crotch dribbles in a row.

The players of the Nets are now familiar with Horn, and as soon as they look at Horn's continuous crotch, they know that Horn is going to be coquettish! They immediately scattered to open up space, and Tony Allen saw that Horn still dared to play himself alone, and his strongest thing was individual defense, which was not good, this was a provocation to himself.

Tony Allen immediately took a step forward at this time, Horn saw Tony Allen coming over, he immediately changed direction and threw the basketball behind his back, Horn changed direction behind him, and then stabbed to the left one step, another step, and on the second step, Horn hit Tony Allen hard with his head and shoulders.

Allen was knocked out of the way by Horn, who jumped over for a quick mid-range.

"Brush!"

Horn scored again, and once he came back in the third quarter, Horn was immediately in shape, scoring two goals and passing an assist.

Hollins looked at it from the sidelines, this can't be done! This really doesn't work, if Horn plays out, the Grizzlies won't be able to play at all!

He immediately came over and asked Tony Allen to step up the intensity and had Rudy Gay and Tony Allen take turns defending Horn.

Rotating two people to defend one person doesn't just save the other two people's stamina. Moreover, the rhythm of defense is different for different people, and using two people to rotate the defense will make the attacker never feel the rhythm of the attack.

The Grizzlies are starting to put more thought on the defensive end, and the Nets have put on a beautiful individual offense on the offensive end of the line, which the Grizzlies don't have a tradition.

The Grizzlies ran over and passed the ball to Randolph first, Randolph took the ball and looked at the opposing three crowds beating him, he immediately passed the ball to Conley outside, Conley passed the ball to Mayo, and Mayo quickly passed to Gasol at the free throw line.

Gasol was very cunning at this time to take the ball a little, and suddenly a back pass, the basketball flew directly to the left foot, where Rudy Gay had already been ambushed.

Gay hit a 2-pointer to make it 54:48, and the difference between the two teams was still 6 points.

Both teams didn't score in the second quarter, and now once they start scoring, both teams are scoring as fast as a blowout.

Grizzlies play very holistically. The Nets really still have to look at Horn here.

Horn ran out again to get the ball at this point. Rudy Gay came up to defend. Rudy Gay is also very physical, tall and fast, but his defensive skills are not as good as Tony Allen.

Horn played Rudy Guy and could clearly feel himself breathing freely, he took the ball in front of Rudy Guy, took the ball and shook it to the left, then immediately pulled the ball back and dribbled to the right with a step-back dribble jumper to the right.

"Brush!"

Horn scored an easy 2 points on Rudy Gay's head.

Horn took the two points too easily, and Hollins immediately scolded Rudy Guy in dissatisfaction.

Rudy Gay is not happy in this system. Now he acts as a defensive spearhead, and he is scolded by the head coach! This made Rudy Guy very unhappy, and he glanced at Hollins in extreme depression, and Hollins also glared at Guy fiercely at this time.

The two of them don't like each other, and the Grizzlies Guy and the head coach's philosophy don't agree, and Mayo is also dissatisfied with playing as a substitute.

Mayo was arrogant in high school and was considered the next superstar in the league, and many media outlets were very optimistic about him.

Finally, after arriving at the university, a very sad thing happened, his height stopped growing, and this guy stagnated forever at the height of 1.9 meters.

This height is embarrassing. Point guard He doesn't have a point guard's playmaking skill set, and the obvious size of a shooting guard suffers too much.

Mayo struggled when he entered the league. The positioning is very difficult to position, and in this case, the Grizzlies have a Rudy Gay on the outside. Rudy Guy's hardware conditions are better than Mayo's, and Rudy Guy can do what Mayo can do, and Mayo doesn't have any advantages.

Such a person has been arrogant since he was a child, but he struggles with his positioning, and the team has a player who is better than himself in everything. He was a little out of balance mentally at night, and if Mayo played the sixth man seriously and obeyed the team's arrangement, he would play very well in the Grizzlies. But once his mentality is not good, the whole person will not be good.

Guy was a little upset, so he took it to the court, and when he got the ball, he should have passed the ball immediately according to the tactics, but at this time he immediately singled Wallace once.

Wallace was like a mad dog, how could he give him this opportunity, and a block sealed Rudy Guy.

Guy didn't defend and ate a block on offense, and Hollins continued to curse in the back.

Hollins is indeed a good coach, and he has matched the Grizzlies with such a perfect offensive and defensive system, in the offense, the Grizzlies have two bears as the core, the defense is tough on the outside, and the interior is high, this team is a very holistic team.

Hollins is of a good standard, but he is still not a famous handsome! He can't adjust the relationship between the players in the team.

The NBA's head coach has only two most important jobs, one is to adjust the relationship between the players, and the other is to come up with a general tactical phalanx. It's like a CEO, it's mainly a high-rise building.

The details, the offensive tactics, the defensive tactics, the on-field arrangement, all of this can be helped from the assistant coach. Therefore, all famous coaches must be proficient in fiddling with players' interpersonal relationships, which is a necessary condition.

Hollins doesn't do well at that, so the Grizzlies are just a strong team, not a super strong team and not a top team in the West. Hollins has a fatal flaw in relationships, and he has problems with cards like Rudy Gay and Mayo that can have a good impact on their own team.

There was a problem on the Grizzlies' side, and the Nets didn't care so much, and Wallace took the ball and immediately pushed it forward.

Wallace pushed up and immediately passed the ball to Williams, who took the ball and turned back to Horn, who took the ball and mustered all his strength to resist Tony Allen's desperate breakthrough to the Grizzlies' basket.

Tony Allen desperately resisted Horn on this side, and Gasol Jr. on one side also ran desperately, but at the moment when he ran over, Horn made a ghostly pass to the ground, and the basketball went directly to the hands of Henry Foss at the bottom foot, Henry Forss took the ball and stepped up to attack the basket to cause Gasol Jr.'s foul, and went to the free throw line to score 2 points.

The difference between the 50:54 teams has finally been reduced to four points, which is a huge improvement.

At this point in the game, Barkley suddenly exclaimed: "The Nets finally closed the score, and now the pressure is on the Grizzlies." I'll see how the grizzly bears fight! ”

The Grizzlies' choice in the most dangerous moment is very clear: to play inside. The Grizzlies came up and wanted to pass the ball to Randolph.

But at this time, the Nets really don't want to go outside. Several people pounced on Randolph together.

Randolph barely managed to get the basketball out. The basketball passed to the outside of the Grizzlies, and Conley got the ball and was very anxious and made a three-point shot.

"Bang!"

Although the Grizzlies have a lot of outside players, they are not really stable.

Once Conley's ball was missed, the Grizzlies fans and the head coach's face changed.

When the Nets saw that the opponent's three-point shot was missed, they immediately stabilized their hearts and changed their mentality slightly.

No one saw the white bear Gasol Jr. suddenly squeeze Henry Foss away and grab the ball with one hand under the basket.

Gasol Jr., who caught the basketball, turned around and deceived the Nets with a passing action, and a group of people ran out. He turned around and scored 2 points with a small basket.

Gasol Jr. scored two points in the Grizzlies' toughest time, and the Grizzlies finally settled down.

In the second quarter, both teams did not score, and now in the third quarter, both teams are desperately scoring goals, and the offense is almost crazy.

Both teams have scored in almost every round, and Horn's side has also entered a state of urine.

The Nets were ruthless and simple, and when it came to the Grizzlies' half, the ball was immediately in Horn's hands, and Horn just wanted to make a move with the ball on his side, but he made a mistake and threw the racket down on his foot, he quickly picked up the basketball and passed it to Stevenson.

Stevenson also took the ball and quickly returned it to Horn. Horn took the ball and faced Tony Allen without making too many moves, dribbling a step. With his left hand in his pocket, he suddenly made a big change of direction feint, attracting Tony Allen's feet moved slightly, but Horn didn't dribble the ball on his side, and pulled the ball back directly to the top of his head for a 3-point long shot.

"Brush!"

Horn's shooting touch now is really coming, and he also shot such a difficult three-point shot.

At 53:56, the Grizzlies played well, but Horn's side threw 3-pointers to take advantage of it and chased back 1 more point.

The game was stalemate to such a point, and the Grizzlies were a little numb, they had a big lead before, but now that the difference is closer, they don't dare to make a move. The fear of losing is really a huge enemy of the team.

At this time, the Grizzlies played the half of the Nets again, and they were obviously afraid of losing, and they didn't dare to deal with basketball easily.

Seeing that the time was coming, the basketball was in the hands of Gasol Jr., Gasol Jr. still made a look of wanting to turn around and pass the ball at this time, Henry Foss thought that there was an opportunity to interfere with Gasol, and at the moment when Henry Foss posted it, Gasol Jr. immediately turned his back and passed, and his body was like a door and pressed Henry Foss to the back, and his step was too big to reach the basket of the Nets.

Horn desperately pounced to defend at this time, but Gasol Jr. sent the basketball into the net with a high throw in front of Horn.

Gasol Jr. hit two balls in a row at the Grizzlies' most critical moment, two extremely wonderful and cunning balls.

Horn didn't know who the madman hiding in the Grizzly Bear was before, but now he finally understood that it was this little Gasol. Don't look at this guy before, but almost every offense has something to do with him, his blocking, his strategy, his defense and rebounding, every moment on the court is affecting the game.

Strictly speaking, he's a lot like himself, he's the type to help the team all around, but his offense is better, his low post defense and rebounding are better.

This is an extremely tough opponent, and Horn is really happy to have such an opponent!

The game came to this point, the bayonets of the two teams were red, the knives were bloody, some players flinched, but Horn was excited here, he liked the feeling, this FEEL is very wonderful, this is the basketball he likes.

Horn could barely suppress his super excitement, running from his own half to the Grizzlies' half, where Horn first went up to block Williams, and then immediately went down to block Wallace.

Wallace took the ball and passed it back to Horn, who suddenly got into his position near the penalty area.

Horn hadn't had a chance to get the ball near the box before, but now he finally had a chance through constant running.

The Grizzlies also didn't want to see Horn take the ball in such a critical position, and when they suddenly came up to wrap up, Horn took the ball a little outside and made a passing motion.

The Grizzlies' defender immediately froze for a moment, and at that moment, Horn immediately turned and stepped back to launch a super bounce, flying high over Tony Allen's head, leaning back almost 34 degrees.

Hold up the basketball with one hand and use the power of your palm as if you were spitting out the basketball with the palm of your hand.

"Brush!"

Horn didn't dribble the whole offense, just run, run, catch the ball and step back to shoot.

It's a smooth and smooth feeling, like a dance. In this process, Tony Allen has no room to play even if his defensive skills are super strong, and Horn also scored 2 points.

At 58:55, the difference between the two teams was still 3 points.

At this critical moment, the difference between Hollins and the junior general reappeared, although the junior general is a strict type of head coach, but he admires superstars in offense, and he sees that Horn is playing well and has no intention of calling a timeout.

Hollins, on his side, believes in the system, and now the Grizzlies called a timeout even though Gasol Jr. played extremely well. He wants to believe in the tactics, and he wants to completely contain Horn, rather than letting Gasol Jr. fight with Horn.

Such a Hollins does not give the main star full autonomy at critical moments, and the Grizzlies cannot get rid of the shackles of a strong team but not a super team. (To be continued......)
