Chapter Forty-Eight: The Grizzlies are stopped at the beginning
As soon as Prince receives the ball, he wants to shoot.
But Thompson went straight to the defense, and Prince saw it, gave up and passed the ball to Tony Allen.
Tony Allen wanted to shoot, and at this time, Curry rotated again.
Tony Allen had no choice but to pass the ball, and by the time Conley got the ball, Barnes had already rotated it directly.
Conley was ready to score the ball, but when you look at it, defenders are on the line at every position.
How can there be a vacancy?
After the pack, the Warriors' defense really turned around.
Originally, it was delayed for seven or eight seconds when he gave Randolph the ball at the beginning, and just now Randolph wasted another two or three seconds when he received the ball, and this rotation pass was several seconds.
Conley was also delayed for a second or two to get the ball, and thinking of this, Conley couldn't help but glance at the time, this round has consumed 19 seconds.
The surrounding Grizzlies fans anxiously counted the time.
Conley felt that it was difficult to organize any effective offense now, and he didn't call it a pick-and-roll, and faced Barnes with a direct breakthrough and a stop-and-go mid-range shot.
Barnes' defense isn't very reliable, but it's not a colander.
When arranging before the game, Su Chen thought of this, and Barnes was ready to defend a few seconds of single attack.
Knowing that Conley couldn't make any feints at this offensive time, Barnes didn't hesitate to jump up and interfere with the ball.
With enough time, Conley could have picked up Barnes and made a foul.
However, due to the lack of time to attack, if he chooses a point, the ball will be timed out.
Reluctantly, he didn't score.
Clang.
Draymond Green took the rebound.
When Draymond Green gets a rebound, the first thing is to look for a fast-break opportunity.
The Grizzlies have tried to return to defense as quickly as possible, but the mobility of the five-small lineup still grabbed the opportunity to switch offense and defense.
Draymond Green made a long pass straight to Thompson, who ran past half the court.
Randolph and Gasol Jr., the two interior lines, have not yet run out of the Warriors' three-point line at this time, and Prince has not yet run past half of the court.
Only Conley and Tony Allen, who rushed back to defend.
Curry, Thompson, and Barnes are already past halftime.
Thompson saw Conley following him closely and threw it directly at Curry.
Tony Allen needs to choose between Curry's three-pointer and Barnes' cut.
Barnes cut inside against an empty basket, and that was a safe place to score.
Tony Allen thought about it, but still chose to shrink inside, no matter how accurate Curry's three-point is, he can't directly put two points.
Curry saw that Tony Allen didn't come to defend himself, Curry didn't rush to shoot, and adjusted his posture to aim at the basket.
Brush!
In the face of a training-level three-pointer, Curry made a three-pointer without difficulty.
Grizzlies 0:6 Warriors.
It was beaten 0-6 at the beginning.
Honk!
In the face of this terrible offensive and defensive round, Lionel Hollins also didn't care about face and directly called a timeout.
Curry, who scored six straight points, walked to the bench with a smile on his face and high-fived his teammates.
The morale of the warriors was played out at the beginning.
On the other hand, look at the other side.
Lionel Hollins made no secret of his anger.
"Aaron, you should be decisive and vote directly, what are you afraid of?"
"You and Prince don't dare to shoot these two points, and the opposite side dares to keep wrapping Randolph."
"If there is interference, you will vote, just to fear them!"
Lionel Hollins is also very simple and rude about the way to break this bag, that is, to shoot!
The Grizzlies are a poor offensive team, and he is not a very good offensive coach.
The already poor offensive team still lacks an offensive point like Randolph, so how can it be played?
"The ball is still in Randolph's play."
"Randolph, you have to be prepared to split the ball early, play the ball a little faster, and get more space for Allen and Prince."
Lionel Hollins continued to arrange.
Randolph nodded, and he opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
Randolph would love to say that the defense of Barnes and Jefferson, he carried the two of them on his shoulder.
But he also knows that this kind of heroic ball may not necessarily save the team, but may hurt the team.
So Randolph didn't say it either.
It's just that Lionel Hollins didn't see it, when he was arranging tactics before, Su Chen was also watching his side.
Of course, Su Chen is not looking at Lionel Hollins, but the tactical board in his hand.
According to the experience of the last game, his mental power can be used 2~3 times [Hawkeye] in a game.
Anyway, let's get off to a good start first, after all, the five-small lineup has just come out.
It's about giving the players confidence.
If the players are not confident, then this lineup will be afraid to fight.
After seeing Lionel Hollins' strategy, Su Chen first asked assistant coach Adams to emphasize the offense, and then he laid out the defensive strategy.
Ron Adams scratched his big bald head, he didn't understand why Su Chen always asked him to arrange offensive strategies.
If you want to say that he will take over the command for a while, when it comes to the key defensive round, Su Chen wants him to arrange it personally.
However, although Ron Adams didn't understand, he didn't ask Su Chen either.
That's when it's time to pause.
Both sides returned to the field.
Lionel Hollins chewed gum on the sidelines, hiding his inner turmoil.
I thought that the five-small lineup would be scored for nothing, but I didn't expect to catch him off guard at the beginning, and it was really difficult to find any way for a while.
Grizzlies possession.
This time, the Grizzlies sped up the pace of feeding.
Instead of directly asking Randolph for the ball in the low post, he let Randolph do a pick-and-roll, and then Conley pretended to run the block but actually gave the ball to Randolph.
This time, I didn't spend too much attacking time on feeding the ball.
Randolph smacked and saw Barnes taking small steps in the middle, which made Randolph a little unaccustomed.
Is he here to bag or not?
Randolph looked at Barnes like this, and simply ignored Barnes, and directly picked up the ball and began to chisel.
The first blow knocked Jefferson back half a step.
But in the second chisel, Barnes came up with a very resolute bag.
Jefferson had his arms held high, but he wasn't trying to intercept the pass, he was blocking Randolph's vision.
Barnes went straight to the ball and was going to snatch the ball from Randolph's arms.
Randolph yelled at the referee to signal that Barnes had committed a foul, but the referee ignored him.
The current league playoffs whistle is relatively loose, and such a foul may be blown by Randolph when he makes a shooting move, but this is only in the process of hitting the back, and the referee doesn't want to blow it.
Randolph remembered the coach's words and could only pass the ball out.
Prince was empty in his field of vision, Prince was originally Barnes's defender, and Barnes let his own defender defend him.
