The Grizzlies under Coach Hollins had a roughly consistent playoff and regular season rhythm, with a maximum of 81 rounds per game.

In the 2012~2013 season, in order to suppress the Clippers' transition offense, the number of rounds was even controlled at around 75 in a few games.

Controlling the rebound, pursuing positional offense, relying on defense, and limiting the Clippers' interior line, the overall strategy is not a big problem, but when grinding the position last year, the response ball couldn't keep up with Li Ze, and he was finally killed by mid-range shots

After Coach Jogel coached the Grizzlies, he naturally had to be different, otherwise he would follow the old routine, how could he show his control of the team!

On the night of the 20th, G1 of the playoffs between the Grizzlies and the Clippers, the new head coach Jogel was a little confused.

At 14:29, the Grizzlies are already trailing by 15 points.

With 1 minute and 10 seconds left in the first quarter, Zach Randolph stood up to Griffin's defense, threw and scored, and finally hit the open goal.

"Shh

Another burst of boos erupted at Staples Arena, and the Black Fat Man began to hug Griffin again in the first quarter of the game, and Griffin's two downs were all defended by the Grizzlies' interior line.

Fans have long been dissatisfied with the Grizzlies' defense when they don't dunk, and every time the Grizzlies score, the scene will boo.

Noticing that there were 51 seconds left in the first quarter of the game, Li Ze took the ball and made a gesture of pressing down.

At this time, the Clippers have already started the rotation, Ray Allen has come on the field, replacing Chris Paul, Barnes has also replaced Dudley, Grizzlies' Yudri has replaced Conley, and Coopers has replaced Gasol.

Tony Allen saw Li Ze slowly and leisurely move through the half, and couldn't help but cheer up the twelve points, and the logo position, immediately stepped forward to interfere.

Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly accelerated, then dribbled under his crotch in an instant, and after an emergency stop, he briefly got rid of the entanglement, held the ball in his left hand, protected the ball with his back, and began to press time to the end.

Coach Jogel on the sidelines was a little numb, if it was changed to the first few rounds after the opening, he would also signal the players to go up and wrap up, but after seeing Li Ze's ability to play the ball, this idea was rotten in his stomach.

Tony Allen saw Li Ze protecting the ball with his back, and from time to time he dribbled under his crotch twice, just grinding at the top of the arc, and he was suddenly a little anxious.

Just as Li Ze changed direction under his crotch again, the anxious Tony Allen suddenly grabbed quickly, and as a result, Li Ze's right hand went around the ball with a large back, easily dodging the opponent's steal.

Then he accelerated with all his strength with the ball in his left hand, forcing Tony Allen to adjust his defensive focus and slide to the right back.

Just came to the three-point line at the top of the arc, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, quickly pulled back from his crotch, paused slightly, and then accelerated with all his strength with the ball in his right hand.

Tony Allen, who was attacked to the front support foot of the defense, didn't have time to react, and was easily crushed and squeezed by Li Ze, and Coopers on the inside saw that his teammates were completely passed, and subconsciously helped to defend up.

In the next second, I saw Li Ze send a high throw pass with his right hand, and as soon as Kufus turned his head, Little Jordan at the bottom right of the basket jumped high and pressed the ball into the basket!

"Boom!" Empty catch and eat cakes!

The fans at the scene began to scream, and the little Jordan under the basket also slapped his chest wildly, and after the debut, Coopers mainly helped Randolph decompress on the defensive end, but unfortunately Li Ze seized the opportunity to feed the cake several times.

Li Ze retreated with a smile and took a big lead, and the mentality of the Grizzlies players was obviously becoming more and more impatient, and what he had to do at this time was to grind the opponent to death little by little.

Nearly 24 seconds of offense, and finally scored by a dunk, everyone in the Grizzlies broke the defense a little, especially Tony Allen, who regretted it very much at this time, and was robbed, he felt that Li Ze's ability to control the dribble was not even inferior to the small guard.

In the last defensive round of the first quarter, the fans at the scene began to shout for the home team's defense again.

“Defense！ Defense！ Defense！ ”

Due to the iron of the outside frame, the Grizzlies finally turned around on the outside and finally gave the ball to Randolph, who was back to the ball in the left blocking area.

Griffin just lowered the center of gravity of the defense, and did not choose to stick the defense, the black fat man is too iron, just put the shot to prevent the breakout.

In the face of such a defense, after the unbelieving Randolph three threats, he shot a mid-range dry pull-out jumper!

"Huh!" Two more points!

Everyone in the Grizzlies hurriedly retreated, and after the fast baseline ball, Li Ze dribbled the ball quickly, and at the moment when Tony Allen was delayed, his left hand quickly went in and out, shook right and left, and accelerated again.

Seeing that Li Ze shook off the defense and rushed to the three-point line, Randolph, who had just retreated, immediately stuck up and tried to use his body to bounce Li Ze away.

Just past the free throw line, encountering such a defense, Li Ze did not choose to attack the frame immediately, noticed the movement behind him, broke through the left hand hidden behind the ground pass, and easily gave Griffin to the free throw line.

The latter received the ball, was completely unguarded, and after aiming at the basket, he shot a mid-range whistle jumper!

"Huh!" The lights are on and the ball is in!

The fans cheered, and Griffin, who threw into the middle distance, laughed and high-fived Li Ze in celebration.

At 18:33, the Grizzlies, who were speeding up, were completely blinded.

"In 26 rounds, I didn't understand the choice made by head coach Joegel, rashly speeding up the pace of the game and fighting with the Clippers to attack, such a tactic is difficult to succeed."

Steve Kerr feels that if he were the head coach, he would definitely be grinding the ground, and the Clippers with a transition offense are almost unstoppable.

"It's pretty much the Clippers' favorite offensive rhythm, Kayce was 7-of-9 from the field in the first quarter, including 2-of-3 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, with 18 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, and the Grizzlies had problems defensively!"

Reggie Miller looked at the technical statistics, and was also a little speechless, Randolph was 2 of 11, counted free throws and scored 6 points, the same fast-paced offense, the stars of both sides are obviously not on the same level.

There was silence on the Grizzlies bench, not only the black fat man pulled across, Mark Gasol was 1 of 5, Mike Conley was 1 of 4, Courtney Lee was 1 of 3, and the team collectively lost their shooting bags tonight.

"We still have a chance! The race has just begun! Defend well! ”

Joggle had realized the coaching staff's pre-game mistake at this time, and it was completely useless to speed up the tempo, but he fell behind by 15 points in the first quarter, and it was difficult to catch up with the point difference in the downturn.

Unlike the Grizzlies, the Clippers coaching staff almost went crazy.

Speed? It's been a season, and you're killing yourself!

"Control the foul, don't pay attention to the opponent's small movements, and don't forget that we are already 15 points ahead!"

"Collison, control the pace of the game when you get on the court."

Coach De Nagro briefly told the rotation lineup, as long as he didn't play blindly, this point difference was enough to withstand the opponent's counterattack.

Paul looked relaxed, he thought the game would be very difficult, but it turned out to be more relaxed than he imagined, 2 of 4 in the first quarter, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, with 5 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists.

The starting 5 players all scored points, Griffin scored 4 points on 2-of-3, Jordan Jr. scored 4 points on 2-of-2, and Dudley scored 3 points on 1-of-2.

"I didn't expect the Grizzlies' playoff game to change the offensive rhythm, and it seems that after the new coach, the Grizzlies' offensive philosophy has also changed."

Taking advantage of the rotation stage in the second quarter, Paul looked at the technical statistics in his hand and couldn't help but complain to Li Ze in a low voice.

"It's an inevitable phenomenon, if you follow the tactics of head coach Hollins, then it is better to continue to let the coach coach, even if it is a college coach, everyone has a different basketball philosophy."

Li Ze has a deep understanding of this, Coach Brooks is good at chicken soup, and Coach De Nagro likes to design small tactics, just for him to design a lot of receiving tactics

Paul shrugged his shoulders and asked a lot of questions during the video lesson, and as a result, a lot of the tactics were completely useless in this game.

If you want to limit the Clippers, you have to limit Paul, the second ball handler, like the Heat did last year, but alas, the Clippers didn't have much difficulty tonight.

During the rotation phase, Coach Jogel quickly discovered the team's problems and no one scored.

Gasol led the team to a poor state, and after more than two minutes of the game, the Grizzlies replaced Michael Conley, and Joggle played a two-tower lineup again.

But such an adjustment did not allow the Grizzlies to find any touch on the outside.

Li Ze has been sitting comfortably on the bench, although Crawford is super ghost again after the game, constantly hitting iron, but relying on free throws, he also tied with the blacksmith-possessed Grizzlies.

The fans at the scene were a little depressed, Bang Bang hit the iron, and the frame was almost crooked!

When there were 4 minutes and 16 seconds left in the second quarter of the game, after Li Ze appeared on the court, the fans at the scene cheered.

The Grizzlies' main lineup has long since returned, and Li Ze and veteran Ray Allen, who walked to the bench, briefly exchanged fists, and then returned to the court unhurriedly.

Randolph's free throw hit the iron again, the corner of the black fat man's mouth twitched, he didn't feel his hand at all tonight, and the cheers of the fans on the scene were heard in his ears, and the second free throw was aimed at for a long time, and finally hit it steadily.

After quickly sending out the baseline ball, Paul dribbled through the halfcourt, stayed away from the three-point line, and completed a hand-to-hand pass with Li Ze.

The Clippers raised the blocking position to the three-point line, and at this time, Jordan Jr. was the blocking and dismantling tool, and in order not to be blown and moved to the pick-and-roll, he basically stood still and would not go down in advance.

Li Ze held the ball in his right hand, and with the help of Jordan Jr.'s blocking, he shook off Tony Allen's defense, and then stuck the opponent firmly behind him.

In the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line, Noticing Gasol's defensive delay, suddenly his center of gravity was lowered, and he immediately accelerated, sending a striking pass in the middle of the line.

The fans at the scene saw the ball pass under Gasol's crotch, subconsciously let out an exclamation, and then began to scream wildly.

At this time, little Jordan who went down easily received the ball, and just wanted to make a vigorous basket, but was finally interfered by the black fat man, and the ball smashed on the back edge of the basket and bounced high.

Randolph stuck Jordan Jr., and just wanted to collect the backcourt rebound, but a strong attack came behind him, and he stumbled after being hit, and before he hit the street, he saw Griffin making up for the dunk successfully, and he was hanging the frame with one arm, silently pretending to be X!

The wonderful mending buckle instantly ignited the atmosphere of the scene, and Randolph, who broke the big defense, turned around and immediately pushed the Griffin who had just landed.

In the next second, Griffin, who was holding his breath, went up and fell, and the two instantly hugged each other, and at the same time fell in front of the camera under the basketball hoop.

Since last year, the two sides have been entangled in the playoffs, and Randolph has a bad hand, so he began to constantly tease Griffin, but fortunately, the referee reacted quickly enough to cooperate with the players of the two teams at the first time to separate the two sides.

"Sweep you in the first round! Don't play these boring little tricks on me! ”

Hearing Griffin's roar, Randolph seemed to be about to rush up again, and trash talk was also sprayed from his mouth:

"Shet! A soft egg that can only dunk! Come to the low position and I'll blow you up! ”

The referee gave both sides a technical foul, but Coach De Nagro was a little dissatisfied:

"Hey! It's obvious that the opponent did it first, why should you blow my player for a foul! ”

The linesman comforted the managers of both sides, and after each side scored a penalty, the game resumed.

Li Ze almost laughed out loud when he saw Mike Conley, who was hitting consecutive shots, start to hit the iron again.

The three-point shot hit the front of the basket, and the long rebound was easily accepted by Li Ze.

Instead of launching a transition attack, he waited until Paul came over to receive the ball, and the two of them made a downward pressure gesture at the same time, which was to strictly control the mistakes.

With Griffin in the middle range, Randolph's defense is very hesitant, and every defensive round is very important at the moment, and the Grizzlies must interrupt the Clippers' offense.

Paul, who was in the logo position, held the ball in his left hand and protected it with his back, not giving Conley any chance to make a steal.

Griffin raised the free throw line, Dudley stood in the bottom right corner, and Jordan Jr. waited on the right near the baseline to eat the cake.

The left blocking area was all left to Li Ze, who put Tony Allenka behind him, and Li Ze began to turn his back to the ball.

This kind of positional offense is too familiar to everyone in the Grizzlies, and Tony Allen desperately goes around the front to prevent Li Ze from receiving the ball easily.

Just as Paul moved to the left wing with the ball in his left hand, Li Ze, who had been constantly entangled with Tony Allen, suddenly turned deftly to the baseline and easily wiped the defense.

Paul saw the opportunity and quickly threw the ball to the top left of the basket!

When the ball arrived, the two cooperated tacitly, Li Ze, who was fishing for the ball in the air, stayed in the air for a short time, and then grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, his head was flat frame, condescending, volleyball-style smash, and slapped the ball into the basket!

“OH——！ Unbelievable！ ”

Kevin Harlan in the commentary seat shouted excitedly, and the fans at the scene also screamed, and the visually impactful empty dunk ignited the atmosphere of the scene at once.

Every wonderful air catch is inseparable from the passer's mistakes, Paul knew that the ball was a bit high, but he never expected that Li Ze would jump higher.

Li Ze had just landed, and before he had time to pretend to be X to celebrate, the excited Griffin and Little Jordan rushed up directly, and the two pulled Li Ze to shout.

The Grizzlies broke their defense, their morale was completely lost, and in the final minutes of the first half, scoring was still difficult and was completely suppressed by the Clippers.

At halftime, 36:60, the Clippers entered the second half with a 24-point lead.

"I think this game is over, obviously the Grizzlies dug themselves a big hole after the opening, and it was definitely not a wise choice to play against the Clippers."

Reggie Miller was unceremonious and directly came to the conclusion, leading by 10 points, it is very difficult to chase points, 24 points, it will definitely not be able to turn the tables.

"3-of-12, including 3-of-8 free throws, and although Randolph grabbed three frontcourt rebounds, a halftime performance of nine points and six rebounds was not enough to lead the Grizzlies to victory."

"Kayce was in great shape, scoring 23 points comfortably on 9-of-12 shooting in the half, including 3-of-4 three-pointers and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, and I have to praise the Clippers coaching staff for their performance."

Steve Kerr looked at the technical statistics in his hand, and his heart was a little speechless, sitting on two strong interior lines, and the continuous low-post offense after the slowdown was the most suitable offensive method for the Grizzlies, and he was a little difficult to understand Coach Jogel's choice.

After the start of the second half, the huge point difference made the defensive intensity of the two sides drop, and the Grizzlies finally found the crosshairs.

The score between the two sides continued to rise, but the point difference has not narrowed, and Coach Joggle does not seem to give up, but the Grizzlies' bench is completely out of power.

Randolph scored two points under the basket, and Griffin received a pass from Li Ze and went down to eat the cake.

Gasol hit two points from the free-throw line, and Chris Paul also scored two points from mid-range in a high pick-and-roll.

Michael Conley threw a three-pointer at the whistle, and when he turned around, Li Ze took advantage of two screens, received the ball on the right wing outside the three-point line, and responded easily!

The sudden and smooth offense of the two sides made the fans at the scene addicted, and the score of the two sides came to 65:89 after three quarters of the game.

The fourth quarter lasted more than 4 minutes, and then Coach Jogel called a timeout, took an atmosphere group, and completely declared defeat.

Li Ze sat on the bench with a relaxed expression, he didn't sweat tonight, noticed that the new Bullock was eager to try, patted the water delivery expert, and comforted him:

"Reggie, there will be a chance, all you need to do is be ready at all times!"

Bullock heard Li Ze's words, nodded excitedly, Tucker on the side almost laughed, in the team, Coach De Nagro does not trust this budding newcomer, Li Ze's words are pure chicken soup for the soul

"Playing 32 minutes, 12-of-17, including 4-of-6 three-pointers, 4-of-4 free throws, 32 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, and no turnovers, Kayce played perfectly again!"

Reggie Miller saw the atmosphere group playing, turned his head and began to praise Li Ze's stats, Steve Kerr nodded, and then talked about the Grizzlies:

"Coach Joggle has to adjust the team's offensive tempo, it's a playoff game and every game is very important."

"Randolph had a mediocre finish tonight, 6-of-18 from the field and 6-of-10 from the free-throw line, with a double-double of 18 points and 10 rebounds, while Gasol was 5-of-15 from the field and 2-of-5 from the free-throw line, scoring just 12 points."

"That's probably why the Grizzlies lost, and the coaching staff had to help the players find their offensive form."

At this time, Coach Jogel was completely confused, seeing that the team was still difficult to score, he was speechless for a while, and tonight's offense was a big stride.

The offense didn't have a high success rate after the rotation of the two sides came on the court, but the Clippers fans in the stadium didn't care about it anymore, and everyone had already started celebrating their first playoff win of the season.

Steve Ballmer sat under the basketball hoop while the old man was interacting with the front row crowd in celebration, constantly waving fists and clapping, and the Clippers won the game tonight!

At the end of the game, 88:112, the Clippers who were playing at home easily won the Grizzlies and ushered in their own good start.

Despite some ambiguities on the field, Randolph and Griffin hugged each other after the match.

The surface brothers played very efficiently tonight, 7-of-13, 4-of-4 free throws, 18 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 turnover, compared to Randolph, Griffin tonight was slightly better!

Paul was also in a good mood, 6-of-12, including 1-of-3 three-pointers, 4-of-4 free throws, 17 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists.

The players of the two teams briefly shook hands, and then Li Ze came to the sidelines to be interviewed by TNT's famous journalist Craig Sager.

The old man wore a white and blue plaid suit again tonight, and when he saw Li Ze coming over, he first bumped his fists and greeted, and then he smiled and asked:

"Kayce, congratulations to the Clippers on winning G1, tonight's game must be very easy for you, can you talk about how you beat the opponent by a big score?"

Hearing such a question, Li Ze said very modestly:

"We started preparing for the playoffs at the beginning of April and the coaching staff had a really good game plan and it was a team win."

"As for winning by a big score, it doesn't really matter, in the playoffs, no one cares about the point difference, the most important thing is the win or defeat, we will continue to work hard to protect our home court!"

“.”

As the Clippers' game entered garbage time early, Celestial Empire fans across the ocean began to pay attention to another Rockets game in the fourth quarter.

The result was disappointing, and after a hard-fought overtime, the Trail Blazers managed to get an away win at 122:120.

Thales Jones was beaten to the point that he almost called the police, and Aldridge used accurate shooting to teach the Rockets to be inside.

With 17-of-31 shooting, including 10-of-13 free throws, 46 points, 18 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 blocks and 3 turnovers, Aldridge put up a magical game.

After the game, on the Tiger Fight Forum, the Rockets fans who broke the defense began to spray the "Morden" combination:

"8-of-28, 3-of-14 three-pointers, and only 27 points in the end, did Harden go to a nightclub again?"

"No wonder leaving Los Angeles, 9-of-21, 9-of-17 free throws, also scored 27 points, Howard didn't show dominance!"

"I was convinced, Lillard scored 31 points, and the Rockets' outside line was blown up by rookies."

"Come on, come on, say that Harden is no worse than Li Ze by two steps, the two of them are very different! Swap Jordan Jr. for Howard, and the Clippers dynasty will be stable. ”

"Now it's stable, the Clippers don't need Howard's lame low post, and Li Ze's low post offense is not much better than him?"

"Clippers championship! Rookies pecked each other, and the Western Conference semifinals were stable! ”

“.”

The game on the night of the 20th was a frequent upset, in addition to the Rockets being beaten down, the Bulls also lost at home.

At 102:93, the Wizards who were playing away easily defeated their opponents and regained the initiative.

The Bulls did have all the players in their arms, with seven players scoring in double figures, with the highest being Hinrich's 16 points, but the team just lacked a superstar who always scored in the most critical moments.

In the other game, the Bobcats lost to the Heat without any suspense, 88:99, and the Big Three also ushered in a good start.

LeBron James shot efficiently that night, shooting 8-of-16, including 4-of-8 three-pointers, for 27 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 turnovers.

Wade was 10-of-16 from the field with 23 points, 1 rebound, 5 assists and 1 turnover, while Bosh was 4-of-13 from the field and also had 13 points.

The Big Three have once again demonstrated their dominance in the east.

However, this game did not attract much attention, and everyone reached a consensus that the Heat would definitely reach the Eastern Conference Finals, and it was all just a waste at the moment

After G1, Amika's sports media frantically praised the Clippers' performance, and the defending champions showed their dominance!

The Clippers have more than two days of rest next, and on the evening of the 23rd, they will welcome the G2 game at home.

Assistant coach Tyronn Lue has been energized since heading into the playoffs, and he feels he's got the secrets to winning, and last night's game really confirmed his thoughts:

"Giving the ball to the strongest player on the pitch is the best tactic!"

"It also makes sense to shorten the rotation in the playoffs and increase the playing time of the main players!"

Crawford is also in playoff mode, and last night, the veteran scored nine points on free throws on 2-of-10 shooting and 1-of-5 from beyond the three-point line.

This performance is really embarrassing, and just after the morning video class ended, Crawford once again took the initiative to state:

"Trust me, guys! I'll find the feel! ”

Li Ze, who was wearing the red and white training uniform of the Clippers, looked relaxed, patted the veteran's shoulder, and comforted him:

"Don't be too appreciative of the unexpected world, and don't care about the data after winning, it's dangerous!"

In Li Ze's view, everyone on the Clippers bench played average in last night's game, and the veteran Ray Allen was a little more efficient, 3 of 6, scored 7 points, as long as the rotation lineup can top 8 minutes, the goal has been achieved.

Gary Sachs, the team's general manager, came to the training ground at this time, saw everyone there, and immediately announced loudly the good news:

"Blake was dismissed after the technical foul appeal, and the Clippers will never let any player be wronged."

Griffin didn't care about the technical fouls, but he still liked the team's attitude, and immediately said with a smile:

"In the next game, I will get Randolph, his small means will not affect me!"

Just when the Clippers were training in a low-key manner, the NBA league announced the Defensive Player of the Season (DPOY):

The Bulls' Joakim Noah won the award with 46.33% of the vote.

Although many fans are complaining that the voting media does not understand the ball, the league will not change the result.

On the night of the 21st, there were two playoff games.

At 98:105, the Thunder, who were playing at home, won another game and successfully defeated the Warriors, leading 2:0.

In this game, the Warriors made an explosion of mistakes, with 26 turnovers in the game, which was blown up by the turtle and Durant by switching offenses.

Durant was 11-of-22 from the field, including 5-of-11 from three-point range and 7-of-8 from the free-throw line, to finish with 34 points, eight rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one turnover.

Turtle was 11-of-20, including 1-of-4 three-pointers and 6-of-8 free throws, and finished with 29 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 3 turnovers.

The scene where fans expected the Warriors to shoot the Thunder from the outside did not appear at all, and Curry was completely lost in the physical confrontation.

8-of-17, including 1-of-7 three-pointers and 5-of-5 free throws, with 22 points, 1 rebound, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers, Curry completely stretched beyond the three-point line.

Long rebounds and turnovers have left the Thunder in water, and it seems like head coach Mark Jackson is returning to the commentary world.

In another bull-horse battle, 113:92, the Mavericks still managed to get an away victory.

The Carlisle head coach returned to Dallas satisfied, and they had done their job.

On April 22, the NBA announced the winners of the 13~14 Season Coach of the Year:

Coach De Nagro won this award without any suspense, with a winning rate of 79.3%, leading the Clippers to a 65-win record in the regular season, and the best coach deserved!

At the morning press conference, Tyronn Lue watched with envy as coach De Nagro, dressed in a formal suit, accepted the compliment from the media.

However, thinking that he had comprehended the strongest tactic, Tyronn Lue couldn't help but secretly think:

"If I have the chance, I'll prove myself too!"

On the night of the 23rd, the Clippers also ushered in their own G2.

Unlike the last game, the Grizzlies decisively slowed down and punched Chris Paul hard.

With the last 5 minutes and 22 seconds left in the first half, Paul, who played a high block after the half, just got rid of Conley's entanglement, and was knocked to the ground by Gasol who was delayed in the next second.

"Squeak!"

The referee immediately blew for Gasol's foul, and the fans began to boo, which was not the first time to see such a scene.

Lying on the floor, Paul rubbed his right shoulder, which he was wearing for the match, and he had guessed before the game that the opponent might attack his injured shoulder.

"I'm fine!"

Li Ze and Griffin pulled Paul up, and then immediately whispered that he was fine.

That's why players don't like to talk about injuries in the playoffs, because injuries are a weakness and opponents don't show mercy.

Paul re-sent the sideline ball, and after Li Ze received the ball, he left the wing outside the three-point line, released the ball with his left hand, and in the face of Tony Allen's defense, he suddenly lowered his center of gravity and dribbled twice in his crotch on the spot.

The body shook with the rhythm of the dribble, and then pretended to break through with the ball in his left hand, Tony Allen subconsciously slid to the right back, and Li Ze took advantage of the cross-step dribble and pulled back.

Completely shaking off the defense, holding the ball in his right hand to accelerate the breakthrough, Randolph noticed that Li Ze broke through the defense of his teammates again, scolded in his heart, and then immediately assisted in the defense to make up for the position.

Noticing that Griffin had gone down in time, Li Ze immediately sent a struck pass, and the ball finally fell into Griffin's hands accurately.

The latter received the ball, rushed up in three steps, resisted Gasol's block under the basket, and picked up the basket with his left hand!

"Bang!" Hit the board into the frame!

Staples Arena remembered another burst of cheers, but Griffin was a little dissatisfied:

"It's a foul! The opponent twists his body and presses his arm down, which is a blocking foul! ”

Griffin's complaint went unanswered, and the Grizzlies quickly sent a baseline shot.

“Defense！ Defense！ Defense！ ”

Amid the defensive cheers of the fans, Mike Conley dribbled past half and immediately gave the ball to Gasol at the free-throw line.

Then Prince, who was on the right flank, suddenly feigned moving to the line for a hand-to-hand pass, and then suddenly ran back, cutting in from the right 45 degrees.

Dudley's defense was half a beat slower, Gasol's pass was advanced again, Prince rushed with the ball, Jordan Jr. shrank to the basket, the two just confronted each other in the air, and the next second the whistle sounded directly:

"Squeak!"

The referee blew for a blocking foul on Jordan Jr.

"Shhhhh

The fans at the scene were very dissatisfied with the decision, and the coach De Nagro even roared at the linesman:

"Hey! How is this different from the last round? Why is my player a foul? ”

Little Jordan was even more annoyed and explained loudly to the referee:

"I didn't foul me, it was a reasonable collision zone, I didn't have any extra moves at all!"

The referee didn't say anything, motioning for Prince to make two free throws.

With 3 fouls in the half, Jordan Jr. was very frustrated, and in order to protect his foul count, Coach De Nagro toured the bench and finally replaced Tucker, and at the same time, Ray Allen also replaced Dudley, and the Clippers immediately became one big and four small.

In the playoffs, he still trusts players who have experienced the big scenes, and despite the struggle on the defensive end, he only needs to withstand the last four minutes of the half to complete the task.

With Prince hitting both free throws, the score came to 40-40 and the two sides were tied again.

After the lineup became smaller, the Grizzlies defended 32 in the first round, and the two big men did not delay in time, but the outside players desperately squeezed through the pick-and-roll.

Paul and Griffin's blocking at the top of the arc outside the three-point line was squeezed by Conley, and Paul, who held the ball in his left hand, took advantage of the situation to distribute the ball to Li Ze on the left wing, and then ran to the left bottom corner to open up space.

Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, completed a block with Griffin again, and noticed that Gasol was delayed, Li Ze instantly pushed the ball and changed direction, and deftly squeezed through the middle of Griffin and Gasol.

In the exclamation of the fans at the scene, Li Ze easily broke through to the paint area, and then immediately took off, facing Randolph who returned to the defense, after jumping, he glided in the air, from top to bottom, pulled the rod sharply, and completely dodged the cover.

After Randolph landed, Li Zecai completed his shot at the bottom right of the basket, picked up the basket dexterously with his right hand, and the ball hit the board and accurately entered the frame!

"Brilliant goal! With her excellent ability to stay in the air, Kayce fully unfolded the block, and it was so exciting! ”

Reggie Miller, as a qualified Li Zechui, immediately sent out words of praise.

"But the Clippers' small man is destined to be punished by the center, and now it's up to Conley to get the ball inside."

As soon as Steve Kerr's words fell, Randolph faced Tucker's defense and scored two points under the basket.

Coach Jogel was in high spirits and kept loudly reminding his players to retreat quickly.

In this offense, the Clippers' outside line continued to pass the ball with their hands, and after receiving the ball, Li Ze suddenly accelerated on the right wing outside the three-point line.

Tony Allen has been numb by Li Ze, subconsciously sliding to the left back, Li Ze dribbled back with a large cross-step, and returned to the three-point line in the next second, without any hesitation, he exerted force under his feet, rose from the ground, and quickly jumped outside the three-point line!

“Kayce！ For three！ That's good！ ”

Commentator Kevin Harlan immediately followed with a shout, and the fans cheered again.

Li Ze has already felt the double standard of the blowing penalty in this game, and it is obvious that the NBA league is changing the rules before the playoffs, which is the next big move.

The new president is more ambitious and seems to want to make the game more intense, and tonight, the referee came with a mission

Li Ze, who returned to the defense, clapped his hands, and then made a gesture, while loudly reminding his teammates:

"Flank their inside line!"

The Grizzlies' constipated projection, when necessary, the Clippers can give up their outside defense and boldly pinch the big man in the low post.

The coaching staff had already predicted this situation, so after hearing Li Ze's reminder, several people on the field immediately changed their defensive strategies.

When Randolph received the ball again in the left block, Tucker cut the ball directly, and at the same time, Paul also gave up the opposite Conley and followed the bag.

The Grizzlies were also prepared, Randolph put the ball in his right hand, carried two small men, quickly turned to the bottom left of the basket, and made a layup!

"Ahh

After the goal, the black fat man beat his chest and roared, not caring about the boos from the fans at the scene!

In the last few minutes of the first half, the Clippers took advantage of good offensive space, combined inside and outside, and kept scoring, and the Grizzlies stumbled inside, taking advantage of the misalignment, and responded continuously!

The fans continued to exclaim, and the defensive battle suddenly turned into an offensive battle, and at the end of the half, 52:52, the two sides fought to a tie again.

Li Ze looked serious and followed his teammates back to the players' tunnel quickly, if this blowing scale continued in the second half, the playing time of the small lineup would be forced to increase

was in no mood to complain, Li Ze just sighed silently in his heart:

"The vertical take-off is already here, will the mobile block be far away?"
