How to play more efficient under high-intensity defense, Li Ze's method is to get close to the basket.

The G3 game was a must-win game for everyone on the Grizzlies.

The players are eager to go one step further and hope to reach the Western Conference Finals, and the new head coach Jogel is also hoping to lead the team to another great achievement.

If they are swept out of the first round, then the head coach will be the team's backstopper.

After all, last year, Coach Hollins led the team to the Western Conference semifinals, and the fans don't care who your opponent is, as long as the results are not good and there is no victory, you will be sure of this pot!

As soon as the second half began, the game was in a state of white heat, and the referees seemed to want to extend the series, so the penalty scale was extraordinarily lenient.

After just over three minutes, the Grizzlies managed to drag the game into their familiar rhythm.

The cross cover of the bottom line, Randolph came to the left low post to receive the ball, after putting the ball with his right hand, he leaned on Griffin, and in the face of the defense that suddenly withdrew the stool, Randolph stumbled, and finally tilted his body and threw the ball to the basket!

"Bang!" The ball hits the board and goes into the basket.

Seeing the black fat man beating his chest and roaring, and the fans at the scene screaming, this is the rhythm of the game they are familiar with.

Quickly sent the baseline ball, Conley did not skimp on his physical fitness, continued to lead the defense of Paul, this game, the two small defenders were completely self-destructed.

The shooting percentage is not high, and under the high-intensity defense, the height disadvantage is magnified.

Li Ze is also not wasting his physical energy to run outside the three-point line to catch the ball, and Tony Allen's pull-and-pull is really good when he defends without the ball.

Therefore, from the beginning of the third quarter of the game, Li Ze began to constantly ask for the ball with his back in the left and right blocking areas.

The Clippers' tactics are also simple and rough, basically no mistakes, Griffin mentioned the free throw line to answer, Ray Allen stood on the opposite left and right wings, Paul was responsible for the outside line, and Jordan Jr. was ready to eat cake in the air.

As long as Li Ze receives the pass, everyone will perform their duties and concentrate on completing their tasks.

On the right side, Li Ze just received a pass from Paul, noticed that Conley was trying to pinch the shot, and quickly turned to the baseline with his left foot as the axis.

Tony Allen brilliantly predicted Li Ze's movements, and just wanted to block the line, his chest was suffocated.

After turning around, Li Ze dribbled vigorously twice, crashed into Tony Allen's defense, jumped into the paint area, and threw the ball to the rebound with his right hand against Gasol, who came up to help the defense.

The ball finally knocked out of the frame, and Gasol under the basket didn't have time to be happy, Li Ze jumped up instantly, grabbed the frontcourt rebound on Gasol's head, and once again stood up to the opponent and made a tough layup!

"My bowl!!"

The moment the two points were scored under the basket, Li Ze roared, but noticed that the referee did not say anything, and the Grizzlies team quickly sent the bottom ball, and couldn't help but curse in his heart:

"Another 5-8?"

"Maybe we've all forgotten that Kayce is actually very strong and has no problem playing in the number 3 position, which is a terrible impact!"

Reggie Miller said with emotion when he saw Li Ze go up and down on the defensive end, constantly cooperating with the inside line to pinch the big man of the Grizzlies.

"In a game like this, the physical strength of both sides will be greatly depleted, and if you still stick to this rotation and play until the fourth quarter, your physical strength will definitely reach the limit."

Steve Kerr saw that both sides were hitting the ball inside frequently, and began to worry about the fitness of both sides.

The Grizzlies' offense, at this time, mostly revolves around Griffin, the purpose is to consume his physical energy, as long as Griffin's physical fitness declines and the offense pulls his hips, then the Grizzlies' tactics are considered successful.

It was another simple high-low cooperation, Gasol gave the ball to Randolph at the free throw line, and the moment he received the ball in the left blocking area, the black fat man turned around, attacked with the frame, and then stepped forward with his right foot to the left, and crossed to break through to the bottom line.

Griffin lowered the center of gravity of the defense, the two collided, and seeing that the offensive time was about to run, Randolph casually threw the ball to the basket, and then immediately rushed to the basket by relying on Griffin.

Before the ball hit the ground, the two entangled with each other had already fallen under the basketball hoop.

"Squeak!!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, the linesman hurriedly stepped forward to separate the two sides, and Randolph's headband was knocked off by Griffin

The black fat man casually threw the headband back to the bench, and then immediately clapped his hands, cheering himself up, and at the same time, he began to mobilize the audience, signaling everyone to be restless.

"Oh!!"

The fans at the scene began to cheer loudly, the referee signaled Griffin to grab the rebound and foul, and the apparent brothers wanted to step forward to argue, but Li Ze immediately pulled the other party:

"Keep your emotions under control, Blake! Just three fouls, not a big problem! ”

"Shet! I knew playing in Memphis would be like that! ”

Griffin whispered that in this game, the inside line almost turned into hand-to-hand combat, which made it difficult for Griffin to find the mid-range touch, and the muscles were used for confrontation.

Re-sending the sideline ball, Gasol received it at the free throw line, suddenly shot a cold arrow, and shot a mid-range jumper!

"Huh!" Two-point goal!

The FedEx Arena erupted in loud cheers, the fans once again flicked their yellow handkerchiefs, and they were ahead again!

At 61:63, the Grizzlies took another two-point lead.

“Defense！ Defense！ Defense！ ”

Led by the DJ, the fans frantically shouted for the home team:

Chris Paul was dumbly guarded, but he knew very well that at this moment, as long as he didn't make mistakes, didn't give the opponent a chance to score easily, and played a response ball, the Clippers had an advantage!

Li Ze used the cover of Griffin at the free throw line, the right wing outside the three-point line, and cut diagonally.

Coming to the left blocking area, Tony Allen took advantage of the situation to half-circle the front defense, and saw Li Ze, who pretended to turn to the bottom line, and hurriedly adjusted the defensive center of gravity and blocked the line.

Li Ze, who had a false shot, stuck Tony Allen firmly behind him at this time, and Paul saw the opportunity and immediately sent a smashing pass.

The moment he received the pass, Randolph near the free throw line quickly pounced on Li Ze, while Tony Allen blocked the line again.

Li Ze took his right foot as the axis, swiped it in the direction of the baseline direction, and squeezed directly to the bottom left of the basket against Tony Allen's defense.

At this time, the Grizzlies almost blocked Li Ze in three people, trying to block him under the basket, and when approaching the paint area, Li Ze suddenly jumped on both feet, quickly took off, and pulled the bar sharply from left to right.

Tossing and turning in the air, dodging the encirclement of the three, and picking up the basket lightly at the bottom right of the basket!

"Bang!" High board layup!

Gasol, Randolph, and Tony Allen are already confused, how did the ball get out?

"Shh

The boos of the Grizzlies at the scene were half smaller, and Li Ze almost waited in the air for the three of them to land after jumping, and finally completed the attack, many fans almost cheered, it was too off-limiting!

"Andrew! Pay attention to the rebounding ball in the front court, not every offense just scores! ”

Taking advantage of the time to return to defense, Li Ze hurriedly reminded Little Jordan to complete the offense near the basket, even if he couldn't score, everyone grabbed it all the way, and it could also consume the other party.

Little Jordan, who was panting, nodded immediately, defending Gasol had already made him a little big, but rushing to grab rebounds was his old job.

Coach Jogel on the sidelines saw Li Ze's continuous attack on the basket, and suddenly broke the defense a little, and the bag was useless? Immediately another yell:

"Hey! Hey! Be tough! Don't let him score easily! ”

The Grizzlies' offense, this time it was Gasol's turn in the low post, and after receiving a pass in the low post on the right side, Jordan Jr. was knocked back again and again.

At the moment when he was close to the paint area, Gasol, who was holding the ball in his left hand, sensed Li Ze's intention to pinch it, suddenly moved to the line, leaned on Jordan Jr.'s three steps, and threw his left hand in the paint area near the basket!

The ball hadn't come out of his hand yet, and Li Ze, who had predicted Gasol's attacking style, had already jumped high and sent out the volleyball cap directly!

"Shh

The moment the ball was fanned out of the bottom line, the Grizzlies fans at the scene booed wildly.

Everywhere! The Grizzlies were really a little numb

Due to the stretching of the outside projection, this simple and rough offensive routine is extremely easy to predict, Li Ze and Little Jordan completed the high-five celebration, the front top and back cover, and the two cooperated well.

drove the baseline ball again, and with the offensive time still winning by 5 seconds, Randolph, who received the ball in the left blocking area, immediately broke through, carried Griffin, and crushed him to the basket.

In the end, he defended and made a tough layup!

"Ahh

Randolph screamed excitedly, pounded his chest, and Griffin cursed again, if it wasn't for the fear of a premature foul, he would never let the opponent score easily.

FedEx Arena is completely fried, and the Grizzlies suppress the Clippers! Victory is expected!

At 63:65, the Grizzlies took another two-point lead.

On the bench of the Clippers, assistant coach Tyronn Lue was already confused, and the teams on both sides were the main players, and there was no idea of substitution at all.

The two sides only rested for less than two minutes in the second quarter, and according to this trend, it is estimated that the main lineup will play almost 45 minutes after this game

The Grizzlies' defensive moves are getting bigger and bigger, and Gasol's big delay knocks Paul to the floor again.

"Squeak!" The referee immediately blew for a blocking foul.

Hearing the whistle, Paul immediately stood up, also without complaining to the referee, controlled his emotions, and immediately made another offensive gesture.

Paul came to the right sideline to serve, and veteran Ray Allen took advantage of Griffin's cover to quickly bounce outside the free throw line to the right wing outside the three-point line and feigned to receive the ball.

The Grizzlies' defensive attention was distracted, and Li Ze took advantage of Jordan Jr.'s cover in the paint area and suddenly ran quickly to the left wing outside the three-point line.

Paul on the sideline immediately threw the ball to the far end, Tony Allen's pursuit was a beat slower, and Li Ze made a quick jump shot from a long-distance fixed-point three-point shot!

“Kayce！ Wide open！ That's good！ ”

Commentator Kevin Harlan saw that the Clippers actually played a simple sideline ball tactic, and immediately shouted in a brisk tone.

On the Clippers bench, the atmosphere group screamed and threw up the towel again! They overtook the score again!

Taking advantage of the return to defense, Li Ze high-fived Paul with a smile and celebrated, this is the benefit of being clear-headed, and you can seize small opportunities.

The sudden three-pointer almost made the Grizzlies directly break the defense, but fortunately, in the next round, Gasol hit another mid-range shot to give the Grizzlies the lead again.

Iron to iron, score to score, although the hitting rate of both sides continued to decline, the fans at the scene watched and screamed, and the two sides clung to the score.

In the final 48 seconds, Paul and Conley each hit a tie, and the third quarter ended.

At 72:73, the Grizzlies took a one-point lead.

On the bench of the Clippers, Chris Paul gasped for breath, 0 of 4 in this quarter, scored 2 points on free throws, and his shooting touch was completely gone.

On the Grizzlies' bench, Conley was also a little unbearable, 0 of 3 in a single quarter, and zero points were hung, but fortunately, Courtney Lee scored 5 points, which was considered to make up for his lack of firepower.

Seeing that his players were gasping for breath, Coach Jogel knew that he had to rotate, otherwise the game would be played to the end, and his physical strength would definitely not be able to hold on until the end of the game.

"Benno! After debuting, seize the opportunity on the outside, and as long as there is an empty space, you must make a decisive move! ”

Coach Joggle finally decided to replace Conley, who was playing iron in a box, and at this time, the new coach did not dare to replace Gasol and Randolph, and he could not afford to lose in G3.

Of course, the Clippers also made a rotation, with Paul getting a break, Lee Ze continuing to play, Ray Allen and Barnes on the outside, and Griffin and Jordan Jr. on the inside.

Now that the game has been played, Coach De Nagro naturally has to go all out to win, win this game, it's a big deal to let go of the next game, as long as they get the match point, they will end the series tonight!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter of the game, the Clippers took the lead in attacking, Li Ze took the ball, and then loudly reminded his teammates:

"Rush for rebounds! Our fitness is better! ”

After tossing three quarters of the game, Li Ze didn't believe that Gasol and Randolph could still withstand it.

After half time, the Clippers played a "V" shaped offense.

Griffin and Jordan Jr. stood at the left and right elbows of the free-throw line.

Ray Allen and Barnes stood in the left and right corners, respectively.

Emptying the three-second zone is just to break through for Li Ze, Gasol's defensive position at this time is not up or down, and he is constantly moving near the basket paint area.

Tony Allen took aim at the Clippers' offensive formation, and his scalp was a little numb.

Seeing Li Ze holding the ball in his right hand and lowering his body's center of gravity, Tony Allen immediately stuck to the defense, ready to squeeze through the cover at any time.

“Defense！ Defense！ Defense！ ”

The rhythmic defensive cheers of the fans did not have any impact on Li Ze, and when he was close to the three-point line, his right hand was quickly in and out, swaying left and right, and accelerating with all his might.

Tony Allen desperately slid to the left back, and the moment the two collided, he was stumbled by Li Ze again, and then hit Jordan Jr. in the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line.

After two consecutive collisions, Tony Allen completely lost his defensive position and watched Li Ze break through to the basket.

Gasol's defensive speed also began to decline, and he thought that Li Ze would choose to dunk head-on, and the moment he chased the defense to the basket, he found that Li Ze's stride was larger.

Staggered Gasol's front block, rushed up in three steps, and Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, quickly made a reflexive dunk!

"Boom!" Break through the explosion dunk!

"Ahh

After completing the dunk, Li Ze stood under the basket and roared, 74:73, the Clippers overtook the score again!

The Grizzlies fans at the scene were also a little numb, and they could still dunk? The iron body should not be able to withstand it.

The wonderful dunk once again made everyone in the Clippers beat the blood, and there was jubilation on the bench.

Yudri quickly dribbled across the halfcourt, and Li Ze constantly interfered on his side, so that the opponent did not dare to shake easily, and quickly gave the ball to Gasol at the free throw line.

The latter received the ball and soon found that Randolph was pushed out of the low position by Griffin, and obviously, the black fat man who was physically overdrawn could not withstand it.

Jordan Jr.'s defense also pounced, Prince hurriedly came over to catch the ball, and the Grizzlies' ball began to fall backwards.

Gasol failed to get into a better position on several occasions and, noticing that there were only six seconds left in the attacking clock, came to the left flank again and signaled to Udri to block the attack.

Li Ze was just about to squeeze through the defense, but Gasol's ass arched in concealment, which immediately slowed Li Ze's defense by a step.

With little offensive time left, Udri didn't hesitate after blocking and dismantling, suddenly stopped outside the three-point line, and quickly jumped out!

"Huh!" Three-point shot hollow into the net!

The FedEx Arena instantly exploded, and the Grizzlies fans screamed, 74:76, and instantly took a two-point lead.

Coach De Nagro and the Clippers' atmosphere team complained loudly to the linesman at the same time:

"Illegal cover! Hey! This is an absolute foul! ”

The Grizzlies celebrated wildly and entered the state of chicken blood again.

Quickly sent the baseline ball, Li Ze ignored the interference on his side, stood up to Tony Allen's defense, and quickly dribbled through the half.

When approaching the three-point line, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his left hand, suddenly wrapped the ball around his crotch, changed the rhythm of the dribble, and at the same time leaned his body to the left front, stopped and got up sharply, and accelerated with all his might.

Griffin's cover only hung up Tony Allen and then immediately went down, and Randolph subconsciously helped to prevent the delay, but the pace was half a beat slower.

Traveling to the left blocking area, Li Ze threw the ball above the blue frame, and Griffin caught the ball in the air, stayed in the air for a short time, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, and smashed the ball into the basket!

"Boom!" Empty catch the storm dunk!

Griffin, who completed the dunk, also screamed, and the Clippers equalized the score again.

Coach De Nagro also couldn't sit still, and at the critical moment, he prayed not to come back to 5 to 8 in the next leg

Randolph, who has a serious decline in physical fitness, can no longer play the low post, and this time the Grizzlies attacked, and the black fat man came directly to the three-point line to cover Yudri again.

Noticing that Li Ze was about to squeeze through again, the black fat man moved his feet, delaying Li Ze's follow-up again.

The hot-handed, Yudri noticed that Griffin's defense couldn't be delayed, and he made a pull-up jump shot from the right wing outside the three-point line!

"Oh!!"

Shooting a three-pointer again, the Grizzlies fans screamed excitedly and frantically flicked the yellow handkerchief in their hands:

“Defense！ Defense！ Defense！ ”

Coach De Nagro almost jumped into the pitch and roared loudly regardless of his image:

"Move the pick-and-roll! Hey! This is clearly an offensive foul! ”

The Clippers coaching staff hurriedly pulled Coach De Nagro back to the bench, but he couldn't pay for any more technical fouls, and the difference had become 3 points

Li Ze's expression was serious, obviously, at the most critical time of the game, CP made another effort.

Noticing that Griffin was in a bit of a hurry, took the ball, Li Ze made a gesture of pressing down, and then dribbled through the half court unhurriedly.

At this time, the [Enter Rhythm] Buff was turned on, and in order to cope with the situation of 5 to 8, Li Ze stayed until now, and the [Green Machine] badge once again chose the speed bonus, and instantly came to the best state.

Noticing the tactical gesture of Li Zebi at the logo position, Griffin immediately ran to the bottom left of the basket near the baseline.

Tony Allen just saw the Clippers' defensive changes, Li Ze in front of him lowered his center of gravity, held the ball in his right hand, shook his body to the right, and then instantly dribbled the ball under his hips, turned his hip to exert force, and then accelerated with all his strength with the ball in his left hand.

Stopping and starting, a shaking, easily shook off Tony Allen's defense, the top of the arc, close to the three-point line, Li Ze stopped again.

Tony Allen heard the sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor, and then saw Li Ze rise from the ground, stop for three points and quickly jump shot.

“Kayce！ Cross over！ ”

“Open the fire！ OH！ He got it！ ”

Commentator Kevin Harlan immediately shouted and responded to the ball simply and rudely, making the FedEx Arena instantly quiet, and then booing wildly.

At 79:79, the Clippers tied the score again!

Li Ze quickly retreated with a blank face, and then kept clapping his hands, signaling everyone to hold on for a round.

The Grizzlies' interior line was already a little unbearable, and they ate the referee's blow scale, and in the next round, the outside line passed the ball several times, followed by Yudri and Gasol's high blocking.

This time, Li Ze almost squeezed through the cover, but in the end he couldn't completely interfere with Yudri's shooting.

The ball drew a huge arc, and finally slammed into the front of the basket, and the long rebound just popped up, just collapsing into the hands of Li Ze, who rushed to the free throw line.

As soon as everyone on the Grizzlies team reacted, Li Ze first changed direction sharply in front of his body, shook Gasol away, and then accelerated with all his strength with the ball in his right hand.

Yudri retreated as soon as possible, and immediately stuck to Li Ze, and the two continued to accelerate, and instantly rushed through the half.

When approaching the three-point line, Li Ze, who was accelerating, suddenly pulled back the ball with a large cross-step, stopped suddenly, and suddenly shook Yudri to the floor.

In the exclamation of the fans at the scene, Li Ze did not hesitate, and quickly jumped at the top of the arc!

“BANG！”

“Kayce Another three！”

The exaggerated conversion of three points made the commentator Kevin Harlan scream with excitement.

Yu Dry looked at Li Ze, who was expressionless and retreating, completely numb, this kind of emergency stop, the steel knee can withstand it

On the Clippers bench, Paul screamed with the atmosphere group, it was too violent!

Wait until the next offensive round, Gasol's mid-range iron, Griffin grabbed the rebound, then directly held the ball, dribbled behind his back to shake off the black fat man, and then held the ball in his right hand and kept accelerating.

Noticing that Li Ze had run to the right wing outside the three-point line, Griffin immediately threw the ball to Li Ze.

At the moment of receiving the ball, he put the ball with his left hand, then dribbled the ball under his crotch very quickly, and his body shook to the right.

In the other party's surprised eyes, Li Ze rose from the ground, converted the three-point shot and jumped again!

“BANG！ BANG！ Unbelievable！ ”

“Kayce From way Downtown！”

Crazy triple hits that make the narrator Kevin Harlan scream.

The Grizzlies fans at the scene were in no mood to boo for a while when they saw Li Ze's expressionless chest beating behind the goal.

Coach Jogel immediately called a timeout, and at 85:79, the difference instantly became 6 points.

Griffin put his arm around Li Ze and returned to the bench screaming.

"Crazy three-pointers! It's unbelievable that Kayce was able to complete such an offense despite his declining physical strength in the fourth quarter! ”

Reggie Miller couldn't blow it at all, scoring 9 points in a row, who can withstand this scoring explosiveness?

"The Grizzlies still have to hit the ball inside, and this kind of transition offense is what the Clippers do best."

Steve Kerr feels a little sorry for the Grizzlies, and that's what a superstar is capable of.

There was silence on the Grizzlies bench, Randolph's fitness bottomed out, Gasol couldn't run, and the crazy bag in the first three quarters of the game still drained their physical energy.

"Steady, Mike! Once you're on the court, you attack and protect the rebound! ”

Coach Jogel hurriedly drew a few tactics on the tactical board, and for a while he didn't know what to say to re-energize the team's morale.

With 7 minutes and 04 seconds left in the fourth quarter, both sides got back the starting content, and Chris Paul, who had breathed a sigh of relief, finally regained his vitality.

In the next few minutes, Conley made a series of free throws to help the Grizzlies score points, and Paul also responded easily with several consecutive mid-ranges.

Li Ze turned on the smoking mode in the bottom corner, and he was keenly aware that the referee seemed to have returned to the normal scale of blowing penalties, and secretly pouted, but complained wildly in his heart:

"If you don't withstand that wave of three-pointers, this game will definitely be gone, this is really the art of blowing!"

The Grizzlies, who were declining in physical fitness, couldn't open up the interior offense, and the defense couldn't keep up, and with Griffin's low post beating Randolph, the margin on the court had come to 8 points.

Game time kept slipping away, and all that was left of the FedEx Arena was the noise of the fans.

The final hum sounded, and at 100:94, the Clippers won the opponent with difficulty and successfully got the match point, and the series score came to 3:0.

"It's a shame that I think this series is over and the Grizzlies have to be praised for their performance, but I think they need to add an outside scorer in the offseason."

Steve Cole witnessed a superstar beating team basketball game, and his heart was infinitely emotional, and Reggie Miller on the side spoke directly:

"This is the playoffs! This is the stage for superstars! ”

"15 of 27, including 5 of 7 three-pointers, 6 of 6 free throws, 41 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 3 turnovers, congratulations to Kayce, 40+ triple-double data, it's hard to describe his performance, it's crazy!"

The score was 3:0, and after the game, the Grizzlies completely broke the defense, and the players on both sides simply shook hands and greeted each other, and quickly returned to the players' tunnel.

Li Ze greeted the three referees tonight with a smile, and the two sides shook hands amicably, noticing that a "Paul nemesis" had an ugly face, and suddenly felt good:

"5 to 8 only! Wait until the mobile block is online, and directly teach you how to behave! ”
