Randolph didn't think much of it and passed the ball straight in the direction of Prince.

“No!!!”

Lionel Hollins on the sidelines shouted loudly when he saw Randolph's passing path.

But Jefferson was talking trash in his ear, and Randolph couldn't hear what the coach was shouting.

After Randolph passed the ball, Jefferson also put down the arm that was interfering with Randolph's vision.

It was only then that Randolph could see what was happening.

It turned out that Thompson secretly let go of his defender and quietly approached Prince, and when Randolph passed the ball out, Thompson completely stopped pretending.

Thompson, who rushed out of the middle of the road, directly steals the ball.

Randolph's face darkened when he saw this.

He realized that Jefferson didn't raise his arms to defend his shot or block his passing route, but to block Thompson's presence.

The trash talk that has been babbling in his ear is only a reminder to distract his teammates and coaches.

What made Randolph even more angry was that Jefferson winked at Thompson after seeing him steal and went to follow up on the fast break.

If it weren't for Randolph's sanity, he would have wanted to push Jefferson to the ground.

After Thompson's steal, there was no pause at all, and he dribbled very coherently and broke quickly.

Thompson grabbed a two-position lead from the start, and Prince, who was following behind, couldn't interfere at all unless he pulled Thompson down from behind.

But the price of doing so, first-degree malicious fouls are light, and it is not too much to escalate and directly expel from the game.

Prince could only watch as Thompson pulled off the steal and made a layup.

Grizzlies 0:8 Warriors.

After scoring this goal, the Warriors bench was boiling.

Grizzlies fans were quiet.

Lionel Hollins walked around in place, chewing gum in his mouth more often.

Think back to the round just now.

The rookie coach on the other side actually predicted his tactical arrangement.

"How so?"

Lionel Hollins was impatient in his heart.

But he didn't call a timeout.

Just called a timeout not only did not save the situation, but was suppressed by the opponent for an offensive and defensive switch.

It's not a question of whether he wants to save face.

The point is that there is no way.

Even Lionel Hollins was shaken in his heart, whether to play the inside line or not.

But in the face of five small, you don't play the inside line, play fast attack with others?

This time, Lionel Hollins didn't call a timeout, but made a tactical gesture on the sidelines.

Playing the inside line still has to play the inside line, but don't play the inside line so bluntly.

Conley nodded in understanding, and at the same time gestured, directing his teammates' movements.

This time the Grizzlies played a solid game.

Randolph gives Conley the first fake pick-and-roll, and then cuts straight inside, while Gasol Jr. comes up and does a real pick-and-roll with Conley.

At the same time, Tony Allen came up, and Conley didn't go to the pick-and-roll, but gave the ball to Tony Allen.

It was up to Tony Allen to draw attention from mid-range while passing the ball to Randolph on the inside.

The Warriors were drawn to Tony Allen while not breaking the pass, and Randolph was empty on the inside to catch the ball.

Randolph scored a layup on the spot.

Grizzlies 2:8 Warriors.

The Grizzlies' tactics this time have finally been achieved.

Su Chen didn't react.

You can't let the Grizzlies fail to score a single goal.

And in Su Chen's opinion, this ball forced the Grizzlies to use such complex tactics to score, which is acceptable.

Complex tactics, the higher the error rate.

Just like just now, when Tony Allen was asked to pass that kind of difficult lob ball, Randolph almost didn't catch it.

Let the role players handle the ball, that's what the five-man defense is for, as long as your core players can't handle the ball.

Why are role players called role players?

That's because they're usually doing some division of labor that belongs to their positioning, and for role players on the outside, it's enough to do a good job of defense and shoot open positions.

Dealing with things like the ball is usually done by the core.

On the one hand, role players are not capable enough to handle the ball, and on the other hand, they are inexperienced to handle the ball in many situations.

Let the role players do what they don't usually do, and let the core players do the role players' things, this is the defensive philosophy of the five-small team.

Of course, this is also a relief for Lionel Hollins.

After all, it's a big deal to break the scoring drought.

After fighting for a while in five years, Su Chen let Ai Zeli get on.

The five-small lineup is not conventional, but to play a certain period of time with high intensity.

After all, offense and defense require players to run a lot on the field and pass the ball in a wide area.

This is for the physical strength of the players, where can they withstand the whole game.

The main Su Chen opened the game with a five-small lineup, which is to give the team the confidence to establish a five-small lineup, and at the same time, it is also a practical battle to see if the five-small lineup can really be used.

After switching back to the regular lineup, the Grizzlies finally got used to it.

The two sides began to fight back and forth.

After Curry made two three-pointers at the beginning, Curry was heavily guarded.

After Su Chen played half a quarter, he also let Curry enter the rotation time to rest, and let Bazemore replace Curry.

After Curry went down, the Warriors' offensive rhythm also slowed down, and the scoring efficiency went down.

However, with Bazemore's addition, the defensive intensity can be increased, and the Grizzlies are not chased for many points.

End of the first session.

Grizzlies 21:32 Warriors.

Although the Grizzlies found some rhythm later, the Grizzlies' own offensive efficiency could not be improved.

Offensive powerhouse Randolph faced Draymond Green's defense, and the offensive efficiency was still not high.

And 21 points in a single quarter can be regarded as the Grizzlies' regular output score.

Sometimes the Grizzlies can score more than 10 points in a single quarter.

The 11-point difference was opened because he was caught off guard by the small lineup at the beginning.

Plus Thompson scored two more difficult three-pointers.

If it weren't for the Grizzlies finding their rhythm, this section would have been able to beat the Grizzlies.

During the break, the commentary table is also more lively.

"32 points in a single quarter, this is Curry entered the rotation time in the first quarter, and the Grizzlies were stunned by the five-small lineup."

Kenny Smith said.

Kenny Smith was not optimistic about the Warriors, but the Warriors' five-small lineup instead played a lineup with a leading point difference.

"What are the Grizzlies playing, just one Jefferson and Barnes, why don't you let Randolph just sit in it?"

Barkley said in confusion.

"Just two small forwards, I don't know what Hollins is afraid of."

Barkley's words were also endorsed by O'Neill.

That's why a lot of good players don't make good coaches.

Whether it's Buckley O'Neal or Jordan, they coach the players, it's hard to use the other side's perspective.

They can tell, only two people defend you, why can't you even score this.

For this, the champion Lang Kwame Brown, who was handpicked by Jordan, is probably the most experienced.
