Chapter 524: Kicking Grizzly's Ass

(Ask for a commuter pass)

"This triangle attack is really persistent."

In front of the Grizzlies' bench, Grizzlies head coach Jerry West looked helplessly at the Boston Celtics small forward on the court and said helplessly. Come on,.!

"In the playoffs last season, the team's triangle offense was almost paralyzed, and it looks like it's time for now, no wonder this team has been able to maintain a winning streak this season" At this time, the Grizzlies head coach remembered last season's playoffs, when the two cores of the Boston Celtics' triangle offense, Maddie and Yao Ming, all failed, it can be said that the Boston Celtics had no tactical system when facing the Grizzlies last season, at least not the one they are most familiar with. It's fair to say that the Grizzlies are the nemesis of this Boston Celtics.

also dies of such a restrained attribute, so many people will believe that the reason why the Grizzlies were able to beat the Boston Celtics, but this game started from the Boston Celtics' first offense, Jerry West felt that this team was different from the previous Boston Celtics, at least that Maddy's self-confidence and strength have undergone a qualitative change.

Even Jerry West can't help but sigh when he recalls Maddie's dry pull at the beginning of the game, it's really beautiful.

"It seems that this game is really not easy" Finally, the Grizzlies head coach frowned and looked at the Chinese not far from him, and the familiar Chinese was standing on the side of the court watching the court like him at this time.

The Boston Celtics' tactics for this game are clear, which is a triangle offense. is the triangle offense with Maddie and Yao Ming as the core, in fact, for the Boston Celtics this season, in the conventional tactical system, they are all mixed with Maddy's triangle offense or Yao Ming's No. 5 tactic. It's not uncommon for Maddy and Yao Ming to play the triangle offense at the same time, and while it was the main play-up for the Boston Celtics last season, it hasn't been seen many times this season.

It can be said that the reason why Zhuang Fei arranged this game is to break the shadow brought by the Grizzlies to the Boston Celtics last season, especially the shadow brought by the Grizzlies to Maddie and Yao Ming. Then these two guys do it again in this game until they can break the wall.

Of course, for many people, Zhuang Fei's approach is not scientific. It's not a sensible choice, at least not the one that takes advantage of the disadvantage, and if the Boston Celtics' triangle offense still fails to break down the Grizzlies' defensive barriers, then the damage and impact of this game on the Boston Celtics cannot be explained by an ordinary regular season. It can be said that this is Zhuang Fei's gamble on the players of his team, and it is also Zhuang Fei's absolute trust in the ability of his disciples.

And from the beginning of this game to the present, at least neither Yao Ming nor Maddy disappointed Zhuang Fei, especially Maddie, the leader of the Boston Celtics, who performed quite well after the start of this game. From the three-point dry shot after the start of the game, Zhuang Fei knew that in this game Maddie and Artest, Maddie already had a psychological advantage, at least Artest's defensive strategy for Maddie will change a lot.

In a contest of this level. Whoever changes the strategy first also means who gives up the initiative first, and when Maddie takes the initiative in the game, Artest is very uncomfortable. And after Artest was uncomfortable, the Boston Celtics fans were quite happy. For this public enemy who dares to provoke the majesty of the team's dynasty, the biggest purpose of their coming here today is to see this guy's jokes.

So in this case, the fans of the Boston Celtics are also extremely crazy, and the momentum is that the Boston Celtics completely suppress the Grizzlies, and in the group of Yao Ming and Ben Wallace, when Ben Wallace once again kept making physical contact with Yao Ming according to the defensive strategy like last season, constantly squeezing Yao Ming's waist, the Chinese big man's backward shooting and shooting posture beyond common sense simply made him crazy.

It was this situation that almost made the Grizzlies on the home court of the Boston Celtics directly taken away by the Boston Celtics in the first quarter.

Of course, although the Grizzlies were suppressed by the momentum of the Boston Celtics because they had not yet stood firm, the strength and heritage of this team were not comparable to ordinary teams, and the general team had already been directly defeated by the Boston Celtics after being suppressed by the Boston Celtics, but the defending champion quickly stood up after falling behind by 10 points in the first quarter, and at the end of the first quarter between the two sides, the Boston Celtics were only 6 points ahead. The final score was also only 30-24, which was an acceptable margin for the Vancouver Grizzlies.

"Reid has been considered the most underrated player this season, as is Arenas, and the performances of these two defenders this season have been nothing short of amazing, and I'm excited to see what kind of spark the duo can have."

On the North Shore Garden media commentary booth, TNT commentator Kenny Smith also smiled after seeing the Boston Celtics and Grizzlies switch to their respective second teams.

The competition for the best sixth man this season is fierce, in addition to Arenas and Timberwolves' Ginobili is the Grizzlies' Michael Reed, this is basically the Grizzlies got the guard from the Timberwolves for free last season, he has performed very well last season, but because he just came to the team, he still needs to adapt to his position and positioning, so he is not very good in terms of statistics, but this season, the guard is a sudden outburst, and he alone almost carries the firepower of the Grizzlies' entire second team, Although the guard doesn't average as much as Arenas' 18 points per game, he can still average 14 points per game.

What's more, both of these are from Coach Z's hands, and both are the kind of players who combine shots, and the two have some similarities in style, except that Arenas' overall impact and physical talent are better, while Reed's perimeter shooting is slightly better.

"Looks like he's in an awkward position"

On the sidelines, Zhuang Fei looked at the Grizzlies' five rotation players and then looked at the Grizzlies' water cooler, at this time, the Chinese big man who Zhuang Fei knew very well, Battle, was now sitting on the bench cheering on his teammates, and it was clear that he was unlikely to play in this game.

Zhuang Fei is not surprised that Battle was abandoned by Jerry West in this game, although Olajuwon retired this season, Battle's playing time has indeed increased somewhat, but his style is ghostwritten He is difficult to integrate into Reed's system, and it is difficult to keep up with the overall rhythm of the Grizzlies, just like Oku of the Boston Celtics at the beginning, and even this Chinese interior line is more embarrassing than Oku, it is difficult for a player of Battle's style to gain a foothold in the current NBA, For the Grizzlies, he can only play his energy against one or two specific opponents in a game or two.

Of course, the most important second team in this game is the contest between Arenas and Reed, the Grizzlies second team that Battle did not have, their speed is not slow, but this is a lot worse than the Boston Celtics, Boston is definitely the strongest in the league in terms of the overall speed of the team's second team, all five players are mobile, and they are also extremely good in terms of defensive intensity and density, it can be said that the aggressiveness of the Boston Celtics' second team is very sufficient, especially Prince, The front court of Kirilenko and Haslem is very aggressive on the defensive end, and Arenas is also very aggressive on the offensive end, and after these games this season, these second-team players of the Boston Celtics are slowly merging.

In this regard, although the Grizzlies have a super bench like Reid, they are still not as good as the Boston Celtics as a whole, so the second teams of the two teams only played less than 4 minutes at the beginning of the second quarter, and when the Grizzlies fell back to 10 points, Grizzlies head coach Jerry West replaced the team's boss Carter and other main players, while the Boston Celtics replaced Xiao Ao and Maddie and Yao Ming while keeping Kirilenko and Arenas.

"In terms of player rotation, the Boston Celtics are more comfortable, they can trust more players, and for the Grizzlies, they have not yet come out of the impact of Olajuwon's retirement, although this impact is in a very small place, but this small place can still have a fatal damage to this team if there are many of them"

Kenny Smith originally wanted to expect the two teams to go from the starting game to the second lineup, but in the end, the Grizzlies were unable to stalemate with the Boston Celtics, in which case the Grizzlies could only constantly change their original strategy, and this constant passive adjustment of the lineup actually meant that the team was constantly being beaten.

And at the end of the first half of this game, the scores of the two teams reflected this fact very well, and at the end of the game, the Boston Celtics led the Grizzlies 60-46 on their home court.

Although the Grizzlies have lost a lot of games this season, it is the first time that they have allowed an opponent to score more than 60 points in the first half like this, you must know that they have always been an absolute defensive powerhouse, and this game is also the first time this season that they have fallen behind by 14 points at halftime.

"It can be said that this defending champion team has been beaten by the Boston Celtics from the inside out, and at the same time, it is also blinded, this defending champion is not ready for this game, and the Boston Celtics seem to have been waiting for a long time, if the Grizzlies still want to pull the game back, they must play Carter's advantage over Maddy, and Carter may be considered to go to the No. 3 position in the second half" Kenny Smith said with some emotion after the half, while Barkley on the side did not have such a formal summary, It's just a little jokingly funny.

"It's not just Artest getting kicked in the ass right now, the whole Grizzlies team is getting kicked, Boston is not easy to mess with, and Coach Z is not easy to mess with" (To be continued.
