Chapter 128: The Left Hand
The Lakers started the game with an 8-0 to give the Grizzlies a downmatch.
The Grizzlies immediately paused to make adjustments.
The two sides do have a bit of a playoff rush.
The Grizzlies have been a maverick meat grinder in the West for the past few years.
In the playoffs, they are all opponents that strong teams don't want to meet.
But as Randolph and Tony Allen get older.
The Grizzlies' upper limit on this style of play is also limited.
So, the Grizzlies have played well this season.
Facing the chips thrown by the Lakers.
Or decisively chose to trade.
In exchange for the younger Randall and Russell.
Replaced Aaron and Randolph.
The Grizzlies are clearly aiming for the longer term.
But there's Conley and Gasol Jr. here.
The skeleton of the grizzly bear did not fall apart.
The team's tactical literacy is still very high.
The defensive system is still there.
After the suspension ends.
Conley breaks through the basket in the middle.
Hit a throw-up and scored two points.
Healing the Grizzlies.
Conley's throwing is getting more and more skillful.
But Bryant immediately responded with a small throw.
Kobe Bryant's shooting felt good tonight.
Subsequently, the Grizzlies ball was given to Randle.
It was Wang Shuang who defended Randle.
Originally, Randall was in opposition to Randolph.
But Wang Shuang took the initiative to ask Ying to guard against Randall.
The last game allowed the kid to score 25 points.
It's really arrogant.
In the face of Randle, Wang Shuang adopted the strategy of letting go and not letting go.
Let you go two steps away, and if you have the ability, you will kill me.
I deserve to die.
But think of scoring under the basket.
Think beautifully.
Randle's technical characteristics are the height of the number three position, the size of the number four position, the dribbling position of the third position, and the shooting position of the fourth position.
Anyway, it's not a mess.
Seeing Wang Shuang put himself two steps.
Randall certainly won't pass.
Opened the singles, held the ball and rushed to the basket!
On the strength of the body.
Wang Shuang is not inferior to Randle at all.
withstood Randall's onslaught.
Randall has a hard top on his back.
I want to squeeze under the basket and turn around to shoot.
It turned out that it couldn't be squeezed at all!
Wang Shuang's card card is very good.
At the same time, there were some small movements on Wang's hands.
Because it's on the home court of the Lakers.
So the referee doesn't blow it at all.
Randle had no choice but to pass the ball out.
The Grizzlies reorganized their offense.
"Randle wants to force Wang Shuang, in fact, the Grizzlies' bottom line has already had a chance, but Randle has no vision to pass. The ball returned to the outside line, and then gave it to Randle, who wanted to eat Wang Shuang with his back! ”
Randall passes the ball out.
Re-positioned.
Conley then gave the ball to Randle.
Randall wants to beat Wang Shuang with his back.
As a result, the shot after turning was interfered with by Wang Shuang.
Didn't hit.
Randolph came over and picked up the backcourt rebound.
This was a very successful defense for Wang Shuang.
Randle didn't get any bargain in the face of Wang Shuang.
"You haven't improved your game, have you?" Wang Shuang said to Randall. "It seems that you relied on luck in the last game."
Randall blackened his face and didn't respond.
Run back to the back to defend.
He defended Wang Shuang to the death.
Looks like tonight's game.
Randall is going to fight Wang Shuang to the death.
But Wang Shuang is obviously not a dead man who plays ball.
He won't eat hard one-on-one.
Such a thankless task.
The Grizzlies have a huge hole in their roster tonight.
It was Gasol Jr. who was absent due to injury.

Their interior center is Wright.
Wright's defensive ability is much worse than Gasol Jr.
This gave Wang Shuang an opportunity.
Continue to block and pick up with Kobe Bryant in the high post.
After the pick-and-roll, go down and cut into the basket.
Bryant draws the defense behind.
One hit the ground to Wang Shuang.
Wang Shuang catches the ball and goes to the basket.
A left-handed layup wins!
Take two points!
Wang Shuang's first point of the game.
Wang Shuang and Kobe's blocking and dismantling are coordinated, and it can be said that they are perfect.
Although Wang Shuang does not have the super finishing ability of Karl Malone, Griffin, and Xiao Si.
But his left hand is a low-handed layup, which is fast and smooth.
The average basket guard center is difficult to defend.
Gasol Jr. is not there.
Breaking into the inside line is a lot easier for Wang Shuang.
At 12:2, the Lakers played a good start.
And the Grizzlies dug themselves a hole in the first quarter.
The pit will be filled in slowly.
Under the Lakers' tough blocking and pick-and-roll squeezed through the defense.
The Grizzlies' perimeter offensive efficiency has been greatly reduced.
Of course, correspondingly, Kobe Bryant's physical fitness was tested in the first quarter.
In response, Scott replaced Bryant early.
In the middle of the first quarter, Clarkson was used to replace Kobe.
By increasing the rotation in the backcourt, the defensive intensity is maintained.
Scott's Best Coach really didn't come from the mix.
It's a good playoff game.
Scott has something.
Wang Shuang scored six points in the first quarter.
Two were layups that cut under the basket after a pick-and-roll.
There was also a layup after getting a rebound in the frontcourt.
Coincidentally, Wang Shuang's six points were all won with his left hand.
The Lakers led the Grizzlies by nine points at 29:20.
It should be said that the Lakers' change of strategy was a success.
Suppressed the grizzly bear.
Van Gundy analyzed: "The first quarter was a strange game between the two sides. The Lakers contained their opponents in a way that the Grizzlies once excelled, and the Grizzlies tried to break the deadlock with the offense that the Lakers once excelled at. After the personnel exchange between the two teams, the styles of the teams have also been exchanged and merged to a certain extent. ”
Mark Jackson said: "Looking at these two games, this deal is generally good for both sides. The fusion of offense and defense, whether it's the Grizzlies or the Lakers, will need to find a balance. Judging from the first quarter, the Lakers' long-term headache of outside defense is gradually being solved. ”
Van Gundy said: "Yes, the Grizzlies' three-point explosion in the last game was a wake-up call for the Lakers. ”
The focus of the two commentaries is mainly on the offensive and defensive tactics of both sides.
And Wang Shuang sat on the bench, pondering his own thoughts.
"I scored three goals in the first quarter with my left hand," he thought to himself. That... Can I try to complete Bird's template task? ”
In the new three template tasks.
The most difficult one was scoring 20 points with a single left hand.
In a game against the Trail Blazers in 1986.
Bird scored 47 points to take the win.
Because the game is more boring.
So then Bird decided to score with his left hand.
As a result, he took 21 left-handed shots and hit 10 balls.
Scored 20 points.
That's why there's this in the template task.
For Bird, it's an achievement that can be achieved by casual play.
But for Wang Shuang.
It's not easy to score 20 points in a game.
Do you still have to use your left hand?
Isn't that a joke?
As a result, he scored 6 points with his left hand in the first quarter of the day.
Looks like there's a show.
Of course, he couldn't shoot his bow left and right like Bird.
He scored with his left hand mainly by eating cakes and secondary attacks.
Wang Shuang found that after grabbing the rebound under the basket.
Left-handed layups or throws can reduce the probability of being interfered with.
Thinking of this, Wang Shuang decided to take the opportunity to complete this template task tonight.
Towards Bird, one step further!
