At the end of the first quarter, the Knicks finally chased the score back, 23-23, and the two teams tied the game.

It's not about who won, the Knicks certainly caught up with the score, but the Grizzlies also survived the first quarter smoothly.

Looking at the current Grizzlies tactics, Conley must be saved for the second half, Randolph must be powerful in the middle, and you must know that these two people basically did not play in the first quarter.

Both teams have achieved their goals, with the Grizzlies taking the initiative in adjusting and the Knicks still stronger in terms of personnel.

The two teams did not decide the winner, and at the beginning of the second quarter, the substitutes of both teams came on, and the two teams were still dead.

In the second quarter, the substitutes of the two teams played for about 3 minutes, and the score was still 30-30, and the two teams were evenly matched.

In this case, it was the Grizzlies who made the adjustment first, and Hollins replaced Zach Randolph first at this time.

Randolph, as the Grizzlies' No. 1 scorer, usually scores more than Conley, and once he returns to the court, he immediately participates in the offense.

In the last game, the Knicks defended Randolph, mainly by going around the front defense to prevent Randolph from receiving the ball, and today's game is still this set of tricks.

But the Knicks' defensive tactics, the Grizzlies have adapted, and Randolph himself has adjusted.

When Vucevic came up to defend Randolph, Randolph desperately pulled out, and Randolph pulled directly near the three-point line.

In this position, Vucevic didn't dare to go around too much, he just used a half-way forward in the hope of cutting off Randolph's route to get the ball.

But at this point, Randolph gave Vucevic a hard push behind Vucevic, and then cut towards the block.

Chandler, who was in possession of the ball, was also prepared, and immediately made a ground-hitting pass to Randolph's hands.

Randolph took the ball and stepped up and threw a throw directly, Randolph had a good throw, and now once he caught the opportunity, he naturally easily brushed down two points.

Randolph came up and got rid of Vučević's circle. This made the Knicks realize that this trick was probably no deterrent to Randolph.

In the CCA.V live broadcast room, Director Sun also said:

"Last season, the Knicks' round-the-clock made Randolph very painful, but today it looks like Randolph has found a way to crack it, which is to pull out and cut into the air."

Director Zhang also said:

"This back-and-forth adjustment, although it is basically the same person, changes every game!"

Director Zhang and Director Sun are focusing on the big aspects, but at this time, Director Li said in the live broadcast room:

"Randolph's throw is very powerful, it's very long, and it seems to be both left and right, which is played in reality. A demon for sure. ”

Coach Li paid attention to the details of the technique, the Knicks saw that the opponent Randolph came up, it was indeed very fierce, and the Knicks' Livingston launched an attack from the outside at this time, but unfortunately he got to the basket and made a layup, because the impact was too great, and he did not get the score.

The Knicks missed, the Grizzlies got the rebound, and when they pushed in, they still looked for Randolph.

This time Vucevic was adamant to wake up and not let Randolph cut in the air. Randolph changed his tactics again and made a cover for Gasol in the box.

Randolph suddenly pulled out to the free throw line, Randolph used the cover to run outside, and Vucevic was blocked again and did not catch up.

When Randolph gets the ball. Ross could only make up for the defense, but Randolph was much stronger than Rose, and in the face of Rose's defense, Randolph took the ball and forced an attack to the basket.

Ross didn't just have a defense. And there was a foul, the referee's whistle blew, and Randolph's ball was shot.

Randolph was much more efficient today than he was in the last game. came up with a throw, turned his head and immediately 2+1, and his performance on the offensive end was quite eye-catching.

Randolph played out all of a sudden, the Knicks hurriedly responded, and Tyberdu hurriedly replaced Li Feng to strengthen his ability to assist in defense.

And when the Knicks made a substitution, the Grizzlies also replaced the main player Conley, and the dinner in the second quarter was coming.

Randolph hit a free throw from the free-throw line and the Grizzlies were 35-30, giving the Knicks a five-point lead.

Leading by 5 points in the second quarter was not a big problem, but it was not good for Randolph to play in shape, so Li Feng immediately came up and played one by himself after returning to the court.

Li Feng took the ball and faced Prince with a crotch, then changed the ball in front of his body and called to his left hand, and he wanted to shoot with a step back.

Li Feng has gotten rid of Prince this time, but Prince is really annoying, and he is indeed an old man.

At the moment when Li Feng made a move, this guy came up and hit Li Feng's hand all of a sudden, and this guy also hit very hard, ending Li Feng's attack at once and sending Li Feng to the free throw line.

This is the style of Prince's defense of Li Feng now, I would rather let you go to the free throw line than let you score to set the atmosphere up, relying on free throws will not bring the atmosphere of the whole team.

Li Feng also didn't make a move with Prince, the other party sincerely fouled you, and no matter how big your ability was, you couldn't take it.

was a little depressed, at the free throw line, Li Feng also hit one of two free throws, but only shot one.

31-35, Li Feng came up and wanted to overturn the current rise of Randolph, but was sniped by Prince first.

Prince was the first to wear down Li Feng, and the Grizzlies' adjustment in the second quarter did take the lead again.

And at this time, the Grizzlies came over again, and Randolph still used Gasol's cover to come out to catch the ball.

Li Feng desperately came out to help defend at this time and forced Randolph to the three-point line to get the ball, Li Feng thought that this would be fine.

But what Li Feng didn't expect was that even if Randolph took the ball on the three-point line, he didn't hesitate to throw a three-pointer directly when he got the ball.

Randolph was now in full shape and finding his rhythm, so he made an exception and threw a three-pointer.

"Brush!"

But that's what Randolph did, and he threw the basketball as well.

Randolph hit a three-pointer after hitting a series of strong shots, and Zach Randolph went crazy.

The Knicks immediately called a timeout, and at this time, Director Zhang couldn't help but say in the CCA.V live broadcast room:

"Randolph is a little crazy this time! Vucevic can play, Rose can play, Li Feng can also play, and if he continues to play like this, Randolph may score 30 points. ”

"Don't worry! The Knicks would definitely stop him. ”

Director Sun said on the side.

Tyberdu called a timeout at this point, and it was really to stop Randolph. And Tyberdu came up with a crooked trick.

Didn't Prince pull Li Feng down even if he didn't hesitate to foul! What can't you copy for yourself! So at this time, Tyberdu simply replaced the marginal man Al Thornton, and asked Thornton to be cannon fodder, specializing in defending Randolph, and when he saw that Randolph couldn't prevent it, he fouled ruthlessly.

As a result, both teams came up with foul tactics to defend each other's main scorers, and the pace of the game was certainly not good, and the scene was full of fouls, and the game was almost more accurate than free throws.

Such an inefficient game came to the last few minutes of the second quarter. Because the two teams had a lot of physical contact before, the fire of the game is getting more and more playful.

Randolph continued to run out at this time to get the ball and beat Thornton, Thornton's duty today is cannon fodder anyway, coming up and carrying Randolph to fight, and the fight is not clean, there are movements under his feet and elbows.

Today's referee scale is also a bit big, and this is Madison Square Garden, Thornton can move a little bigger.

In this case, Randolph played particularly awkwardly. Turning around an attack on the basket was unsuccessful, and the referee did not blow it.

At this moment, Randolph was suddenly excited, and after making a move, he gave Thornton an elbow. Although Thornton was only a marginal man, he was also very hot-tempered, and he went up and yelled at Randolph.

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, the referee hurriedly separated the two people.

It would have been a hiccup. But after Thornton walked away, Li Feng came over and said to Thornton:

"Al, I don't think you're tough enough. If Randolph elbows you, you should give him a kick! Anyway, Randolph doesn't dare to fight you hard. ”

As soon as Li Feng said this, Thornton reacted, yes! I'm cannon fodder. Why don't I fight hard with him, the team will win if I fight, even if I can't fight, it is also an opportunity for me to make a name for myself.

So Thornton is ready to work hard next time, Randolph doesn't want to play well, Li Feng naturally tries to satisfy him.

The Knicks hit again, Li Feng deliberately took the ball to Thornton, Thornton's offensive ability was average, but at this moment he was reckless, taking the ball and dribbling to force a breakthrough through Randolph.

When Randolph defended in the past, Thornton gave Randolph an elbow, and Randolph was a little blinded by an elbow, but at this time, Thornton's offensive skills were really not very good.

A layup by Thornton was affected by Gasol, and Thornton missed his own layup.

Randolph then reacted, Thornton was looking for trouble with himself, and Randolph felt that he was looking for death by playing with himself like this with a water dispenser.

Randolph came up with hatred, and he came up again to get the ball, and he also deliberately leaned towards Thornton.

Thornton was barely playing anymore and kicked Randolph's leg with a kick from below.

Randolph himself hasn't done it yet!

Thornton saw that he was moving, and he was a little excited in an instant, and when he looked back, he was ready to give Thornton a little elbow. Thornton saw Randolph's elbow coming, and he was not to be outdone, elbow to elbow, Randolph elbowed Thornton's chest, and Thornton hit Randolph's back with an elbow.

The two of them were not playing at all, they had already started to play, Thornton came prepared, but Randolph was in the middle of the game.

So at this time, it was Randolph who couldn't hold it first, and turned around and pushed Thornton for a while, and Thornton was already ready to get up and kick Randolph's leg.

The two of them staged an all-out martial arts in a blink of an eye, and the referee and the Grizzlies' people hurriedly pulled away, but the Knicks were not very active in pulling people.

Because if you really fight and use Thornton to give Randolph to the boy, the Knicks will basically win, and if they are banned for two games, the Knicks will simply make Chu Xiang!

So the Knicks basically remained calm, and the Grizzlies finally pulled Randolph away, and the situation returned to normal.

Seeing that the fight was about to start, the fans were excited and the whole audience was booing. The broadcast in the V live broadcast room was also excited.

As a guest, Director Li said without fear:

"It's a game, it's a tough fight, it's a good game, and Thornton is really good."

"Of course it's good. If the referee awards a second-degree malicious foul and Randolph goes down today, the Knicks will naturally win. ”

Director Sun explained the situation on the side, and at this time Director Zhang said:

"Randolph isn't calm! He, as the Grizzly Bears' main general, shouldn't be fighting with a small character. ”

The comments on the domestic side are aware of the situation, but Randolph is excited on the court, he mainly underestimates Thornton, and thinks that Thornton is not powerful as a marginal person.

Now that things are like this, all the players in Hollins and the Grizzlies are scared, and Randolph is also worried in his heart, but he still pretends to be unconvinced.

Several referees on the field watched the video of the game repeatedly. Late Randolph and Thornton were given a first-degree foul each, and didn't get the two off the court.

The Knicks were naturally a little disappointed with this result, and the Knicks fans also booed together, but the Grizzlies fans let out a long breath.

Randolph was fouled by a first-class technical foul here, and although he was not ejected from the court, he had already committed three fouls, and his situation was not very good.

Hollins hurriedly replaced Randolph, and the Knicks also replaced Thornton, who had actually committed four fouls, and the number of fouls was much more terrifying than Randolph's.

But at this time, the Grizzlies are the main Randolph. Thornton is dispensable for the Knicks, which can be regarded as a Knicks success.

In the next two minutes of the first half, the Grizzlies were a little scattered offensively, and the Knicks were not affected at this time. Before halftime, the Knicks came back with a score lead.

From 54 to 51, the Knicks led the Grizzlies by 3 points, which is not much. But the Grizzlies had been leading a bit before, either in a tie, and now they are chased back by the Knicks for three points before halftime. Psychologically, the grizzly bear is still not immune to some influences.

At this time, when the halftime reporter interviewed, he deliberately interviewed Hollins, and today the Grizzlies played more evenly in personnel, but the Grizzlies were still obviously in the initiative, which must be the credit of Hollins.

So the reporter came up and asked first:

"Mr. Hollins, your team has made a big change today compared to the last game, can you tell us how you did that?"

Hollings said at this time:

"Because we had some difficulties with the Knicks in the past, today we went all out to improve the role players and make some adjustments to the Knicks' defense, which has made our team more complete and more potential to win in the playoffs."

Hollins didn't play tricks, and he said what adjustments he made.

After a 20-minute break, both teams took some rest, and both teams understood that the real battle would not begin until the third quarter.

In the first two quarters, the main players of both teams were playing tightly, and now in the second half, the main players of both teams will definitely play hard.

At the beginning of the second half, the Knicks kicked off first, and most of the Knicks played in the first half were role players, Li Feng took the ball more about passing and responding to the ball, but as soon as the second half began, Li Feng immediately went to the right wing to get the ball.

The Grizzlies have already set up a tactic to defend against Li Feng in the first half, so once Li Feng comes up to the position, the Grizzlies will immediately resist fiercely, and Taysha Ann Prince desperately wants to get stuck in front of Li Feng, but he was suddenly pressed behind by Li Feng's steely arm. Li Feng blocked Prince with pure strength.

took the ball, Li Feng suddenly turned around and bumped into Gasol, who was helping to defend under the basket.

Gasol saw that Li Feng was coming at him, and he also came up fiercely to directly confront Li Feng, and the bodies of the two people collided together at once.

Li Feng's strength is very strong, but Gasol is a pure center in the end, once the two of them collide, they will stagger, Gasol took half a step back, and Li Feng's ball was also knocked down, which shows the strength of the impact of both sides.

The basketball fell, Li Feng and Gasol went to pick up the ball together, at this time Li Feng had an advantage, Li Feng's center of gravity was lower, so Li Feng quickly picked up the basketball first, and picked up the basketball Li Feng directly made another left-handed layup.

Li Feng bypassed Gasol's defense at once and finally scored the basketball!

The Grizzlies arranged a strong team defense, and Li Feng still forced a one-man attack. Rely on your body and speed to cross the opponent's outside line, and then rely on your strength and skill to force the opponent's inside line.

The level of this domineering is simply murderous.

Li Feng played strongly, which was clearly reflected that the Knicks wanted to play really.

The Grizzlies were the same at this time, and Conley took the ball in the backcourt at this time and quickly advanced towards the Knicks' half.

The Grizzlies actually played a fast pace at this time, which surprised people, because the Knicks themselves are in the League of Civilizations with fast pace and attack power, but at this time, the Grizzlies actually came to play fast-paced, which made Knicks fans also admire the courage of the other party.

The Grizzlies' fast pace also has its own characteristics, at least Conley's fast movement greatly increases his advantage in possession.

At this time, Dragic went up to try to stop Conley, but was suddenly conceded by a very small change of direction from Conley.

Conley let Dragic pass and did not slow down to control the tempo, but slipped straight into the Knicks' basket, this kind of rhythmless ball does not seem to be played by Conley.

When Conley messed up the tempo and the Knicks' defense was a bit messy, Conley suddenly passed the ball to Randolph who was following from behind.

Randolph cut the ball up, and it was still an iconic throw, this way of scoring was originally Randolph's housekeeping skill, and this time it was naturally shot up. (To be continued......)
