The best teammates in the NBA

Chapter 295 Triple MVP (9700 word chapter)
4月28号晚上，同步进行的首轮G4比赛中，热火队半场45:41领先雄鹿队。

Amerika's sports reporters took advantage of the intermission to compare the Clippers and the Heat.

The Clippers took a total of 45 shots in the first half, with a fast pace and extremely high offensive efficiency.

In contrast, the Bucks' offensive rhythm was similar to that of the Clippers, taking 44 shots, but the Heat took the initiative to slow down, taking only 37 shots in the half.

The reason why the Bucks will fall behind is the gap between the core players Monta Ellis and Li Ze.

After halftime, Monta Ellis scored 11 of 4 and only scored 9 points, while Li Ze scored 12 of 10, including 8 of 7 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 31 points.

Blind eyes can see the gap. Although the Lakers' outside line is really stretched, Li Ze's stats still shocked many people's jaws!

Of course, what makes the critics even more speechless is that after halftime, the Lakers only scored 34 points and 2 points in the second quarter, which has already caused many fans to shout for money back.

At 34:70, the score difference of 36 points in the half can not help but remind people of the scene when the Nuggets beat the Hornets.

However, there is still a 58-point difference from 22 points. Considering that the two sides will replace the substitute lineup in the second half, it is estimated that the Clippers will find it difficult to break through the 58 points.

Howard was fouled frequently in the first half, and the Clippers' strategy fully worked. They made 9 of 3 free throws in the half, which made coach De Nagro almost laugh out loud.

Although the super center frequently stood on the free throw line, he made 2 of 2 in the half and only scored 7 points and 7 rebounds, which still made many Lakers fans boo.

The playoffs are all about pinching the opponent's weaknesses. Howard's free throws are stretched, and the Lakers have almost no outside shots, so that the Clippers can easily double-team the super center.

Even if the foul was won in the end, everyone in the Clippers didn't care, because everyone knew that Howard really couldn't make a free throw.
The victory was already established at halftime, which also made the commentary seats on TNT start to chat about topics other than the game:
"For this season's MVP selection, I will definitely vote for Kayce. Obviously at the shooting guard position, Kayce crushed the rest of the league. win."

Reggie Miller has always been a supporter of Li Ze. After the G4 game lost suspense, he immediately began to solicit votes for Li Ze.

"I also agree with you. Although LeBron James led the Heat to a record of 66 wins, Kayce is undoubtedly the better player just from the performance of the regular season. Although the rules of the league now favor the perimeter, But averaging 33.5 points per game and hitting the 180 club is definitely an amazing achievement!"

Steve Kerr also followed this topic and began to praise Li Ze's performance, while the commentator Kevin Harlan said regretfully:

"It's a pity that in the first round of the game, Kayce played too little time. He only played 17 minutes in this game. With such a difference in points, maybe coach De Nagro will not send in the main lineup."

The 36-point difference made the main lineup of the Lakers unable to lift a bit of energy. Therefore, after playing with the main lineup for more than three minutes in the third quarter, coach D'Antoni chose to let the atmosphere with a stronger motivation come up. Rush.

The Clippers are also on the bench, and in the second half of the game, veterans Billups and Grant Hill also made appearances.

As the game time continued to pass, the point difference did not narrow. In the fourth quarter, both sides replaced players who would not be able to play in normal games.

Li Ze put on his training uniform from the second half, sat on the bench, chatted and farted with everyone in the Clippers.

Chris Paul has some regrets. If the Lakers surrender later, maybe he will have a chance to make history.

After the substitute lineup came on stage, the scoring abilities of both sides were equal, and the game began to become anxious. Seeing Paul in this situation, he was a little speechless. How could the Nuggets' substitutes be so vigorous?
The media in Los Angeles couldn't bear it after the start of the second half. Seeing Howard played for 3 minutes and went off the court to rest, they immediately tweeted and complained.

The Lakers fans who broke the defense have long sprayed D'Antoni and the management on Twitter:

"Bass Jr. is destroying the Lakers. Maybe the Clippers will become the top card in Los Angeles in the future. I don't want to see Howard and D'Antoni again next season!"

"I miss old Buss and Kobe, that's the real Lakers, it's unbelievable, trailing by 36 points at halftime, and it's still in the playoffs, look at these unmotivated players on the court, they don't deserve to be there The Lakers play."

In America, the Lakers have always been the hot spots. At the beginning of the season, F4 formed a team, and the fans of the Lakers thought that the championship was beckoning to them.

As a result, this season, Kobe Bryant tore his Achilles tendon and was swept by a big score in the first round of the playoffs in 4 consecutive games. This strong contrast completely broke the defense of the Lakers fans.

On Reddit, fans of other teams are taking turns mocking the Lakers. America's Comey is actually very powerful, but now all of them have been backlashed, and everyone is watching the Lakers have fun.

When the game ended, the score was fixed at 121:82. The Clippers beat the Lakers by 39 points and easily swept their opponents 4:0 in the first round to advance to the Western Conference semifinals.

Bryant left the Staples Center on crutches at the end of the third quarter. For the Black Mamba, this was a complete failure of the season.

Hearing the booing from the scene, Howard lost his smiling face. After the game, he briefly shook hands with the Clippers, and then immediately returned to the player channel. Perhaps in Howard's heart, coming to Los Angeles was a wrong choice.

"Congratulations, Kayce! I hope you can go one step further and reach the Western Conference finals. Every time I see your performance, I feel really old."

Despite the big loss, Gasol still seemed very kind after the game, and even sent blessings to Li Ze.

"32 years old is the golden age of a player. I will never forget your performance in the Olympics. I look forward to our next match!"

Li Ze and Gasol exchanged simple greetings, and then shook hands with the Lakers. After completing these post-game ceremonies, they saw many fans wearing Clippers jerseys, and waved their hands to express their gratitude to the fans.

On the other side of the ocean, after CCTV Sports broadcasted the game, Director Zhang, as a half-Komi, saw the Lakers lose consecutively by a big score, and commented with admiration:

"The Lakers will start to think about rebuilding in the next few years. Kobe has torn his Achilles tendon. After he returns from injury, his athletic ability will definitely drop significantly. Maybe it will be difficult for the Lakers to make it to the playoffs."

The host Yu Jia didn't care about the results of the Lakers at all. Of course he understood the concerns of the fans, so he asked straight to the point:

"Director Zhang, do you think Li Ze has a chance to win his third MVP trophy this year? It's been a long time since the NBA has had three consecutive MVPs."

When Director Zhang heard such an inquiry, he replied without hesitation:

"In my opinion, there is no suspense about this award. LeBron James' statistics are not as good as Li Ze's. Don't look at two more wins. That's because Li Ze missed two regular season games due to personal affairs. , both sides have the same record!"

"The MVP must belong to Li Ze. We can also have an exclusive interview at that time, and our fans can also look forward to the basketball park program in the future."

The host Yu Jia was a little speechless when he heard such a reason. Isn't this "If"?However, such an answer is enough. Seeing the director's prompt, he immediately smiled at the camera and said:
"Thank you Director Zhang for your comments, and thanks to the fans in front of the TV for their support. Next, we will conduct a lottery session, and the audience who is drawn will get Li Ze's rare star boots in this year's All-Star color scheme!"

"I'll call to start, Director Zhang will call to stop."

"stop!"

"."

In the game that night, in addition to the successful promotion of the Clippers, the Heat also defeated the Bucks at 88:77, sweeping their opponents 4:0 and advancing to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

由于韦德因伤缺阵，最终勒布朗-詹姆斯出场41分钟，20中13，砍下30分8篮板7助攻3抢断1盖帽5失误的数据。

Big Mouth Jennings was completely broken, 7 of 1, 3 points, 1 assist and 2 turnovers. This performance was naturally ridiculed by the Heat fans.

In the other two games, at 90:97, the Celtics finally pulled back a victory and fell behind by a big score of 1:3. At present, it can barely be regarded as saving face.

The contestants between the Spurs and the Warriors went to overtime again. In the end, at 87:97, the Warriors stubbornly tied the big score to 2:2, and the two sides will have a battle in Tianwangshan.

The Clippers who have completed the promotion will have sufficient rest time, and the Western Conference semifinals will officially start on May 5.

During a one-week break, the coaching staff of the Clippers directly gave everyone two days off.

The fourth season of "The Voice" is officially launched. The blonde sister has been very busy recently. I have to say that Amelia's audience likes to watch reality shows, but Li Ze felt a little boring after watching two episodes.

This place also pays attention to chicken soup for the soul, and it also pays attention to suffering and suffering for the sake of music dreams. Although it is not a tragic conference, but there are too many routines, which makes Li Ze not interested.

Episode 6 has just aired, and the blond sister also has her own vacation. On the 30th, she flies directly to Los Angeles to take advantage of Li Ze's vacation.

On the morning of May 5st, Li Ze, who had been tossing all night, was still sleeping soundly. Shakira woke up in a daze. Seeing that Li Ze was sleeping soundly, she couldn't help but hit her twice with her hands:
"Get up! I promised to accompany me to visit Los Angeles in the morning, but it's already noon now."

It's a pity that the blond sister's figure is too petite, so she was hugged by Li Ze with her backhand, struggled a few times, her eyes became watery again, feeling that the blond sister's breathing was a little short again, Li Ze didn't dare to move, so Touching his head to kill, comfortingly said:

"Today's time is at your disposal!"

He took a hard bite of Li Ze, and finally got up to eat lunch when he was so hungry:

"For next year's new album, Sony Music wants to adjust the share, and the sales of physical records will become more and more difficult. I want to go out and do it myself."

The blond sister with her hair tied together was dressed very coolly, wearing only a small white T-shirt, gnawing on a steak, and complaining to Li Ze about the record company's problems.

Li Ze, who only wore a pair of shorts, couldn't help asking curiously when he heard the blond sister's complaints:

"Do singers at the DIVA level also have the trouble of sharing?"

"I'm not DIVA. Of course I will be suppressed by the company. Traditional sales channels can't sell records, so I will naturally want to change the percentage. It's much easier to squeeze singers than to educate the market. Put on clothes!"

The blond sister put down the knife and fork in her hand, and briefly explained. Seeing Li Ze's beautiful muscles, she couldn't help but blushed slightly. She had unlocked new knowledge in the past two days, and she played too much.
Holding the blond sister in his arms again, Li Ze suddenly rolled his eyes after receiving two punches, and whispered to the other party's ear:
"Kicking away those famous producers, even if the share is reduced, if I'm here, the income will not decrease."

Wrapping around Li Ze's neck, the blond sister who was no longer struggling suddenly sighed and said:

"That can't be done. We have worked together for so many years, even if it's for the sake of face, the money can't be paid."

Looking at the suddenly melancholy blond sister, Li Ze also muttered in his heart:

"Is it a human relationship?"

Human relations are everywhere, the Grammys need public relations, the Oscars also need public relations, and the NBA's MVP selection actually needs a little trick.

O'Neill lost the unanimous MVP vote back then, also because this fat man was too arrogant, even if he didn't vote for you, the sharks couldn't do anything about these reporters.

Not all the reporters who voted were very professional. To put it bluntly, everyone was a cloud fan and had never played in the game.

Those who are more particular may look at high-level data to show that they understand football, but a large number of reporters simply vote at will based on their own personal preferences.

The reporters in New York would vote for Anthony, the reporters in Los Angeles preferred Kobe, and Li Ze crushed LeBron James to become the MVP for two consecutive years, and he could not do without Chapman's help.

Since the Big Machine record company is in New York, Chapman took the lead in getting along with New York reporters, and often brought some well-known reporters to Twitter and INS parties, and occasionally sent some signed records, special Keds running shoes, and concerts. Tickets are spilled out a lot.

With the continuous expansion of the social circle and the establishment of its own sports department by Big Machine Records, it took Chapman three years to basically get acquainted with most of the sports reporters.

For journalists who hold voting rights, being friends with Chapman is not bad, and Li Ze's statistics are really beautiful, so when voting, there is naturally a bias.

Reporters who like impression flow, seeing Li Ze sweeping LeBron James in the finals for two consecutive years, the impression score is naturally much higher than James.

When the outside world is still discussing who will win the MVP, the sports media who have completed the voting actually already know it in their hearts.

On the morning of May 5, the Clippers had just finished their video class. In the past few days, the coaching staff had repeatedly analyzed the Grizzlies' tactics to prepare for the Western Conference semifinals the day after tomorrow.

In the battle of Tianwangshan, 93:103, the Grizzlies defeated the Nuggets at home, rewriting the big score to 3:2.

After the game ended, the Clippers began to actively prepare for the Grizzlies. During the regular season, the Grizzlies had the upper hand, and the superficial brother Griffin was suppressed miserably against the black and white bears.

The regular season matches naturally aroused the concerns of the coaching staff.

The perimeter defense of the Grizzlies is not as old and weak as the Lakers. Tony Allen and Prince have rich defensive experience. It can be expected that the opponent will double-team Li Ze crazily.

When everyone was preparing for lunch, Clippers manager Gary Sachs announced the news with a little excitement:
"Kayce, congratulations, I promise you will have a grand press conference on the morning of the 5th, three consecutive MVPs, God! This is really incredible!"

"Oh!"

Everyone in the Clippers yelled and congratulated Li Ze:

"That's cool, Kayce! That's a record Michael Jordan couldn't match."

"I knew the MVP would be yours! You have witnessed history!"

Chris Paul looked at the twittering teammates and immediately said loudly:

"Come to my house every night! Celebrate Kayce, three-time MVP, great achievement!"

"Thanks! Chris, I have to trouble you again tonight!"

Although Paul's party is a bit plain, Li Ze is equally sympathetic, perhaps because he likes charity. Paul has many friends, which is why the Clippers are happy to attend Paul's party.

Since the league has not fully announced the results of the MVP selection, the gathering that night was mainly family-oriented. Paul's wife Yada looked at Anne beside Li Ze with a strange look.

As a smart person, she seems to have discovered some of Li Ze's little secrets. When it comes to family gatherings, Anne will appear.

"Kayce, come here, some advertisers want to meet you!"

Tonight's party, in addition to some local organizations in Los Angeles, many advertisers also came, some of them have cooperated with Paul, while others have always wanted to communicate with Li Ze face to face.

"Don't worry about me, Yada and I are already very familiar."

Annie blinked at Li Ze, looking at the well-behaved and sensible black-haired sister Yu, Li Ze scratched the other's palm, expressing that it was nice to have you, Paul's wife Yada saw the small movements of the two of them, and slowly came up :

"Annie, don't you think about getting married?"

"He is only 22 years old, we still have a lot of time, not to mention I like my life now!"

Hearing Annie's words and seeing her satisfied expression, Paul's wife Yada couldn't help scolding Li Ze inwardly:

"Scumbag!"

On May 5th, LeBron James, who was also resting for many days, also received news from the league that Li Ze was elected the MVP of this season.

Throughout the training session in the morning, LeBron James pulled his face and looked very unhappy. His good brother Wade naturally knew James' knots, so in the training session in the morning, he always played the role of activating the atmosphere.

At lunch time, LeBron James came to the dining table with his own lunch. Other teammates saw that the boss was in a bad mood and lost the usual active atmosphere.

LeBron James brushed Twitter casually, and then was angrily scolded:
"Shet!"

Wade, who was scrolling through Twitter, naturally discovered why James was angry, but when he saw Li Ze's tweet, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

"The pursuit of greatness, never stop! (Crown.jpg) #新王子(皇冠.jpg)#足球season#Dutton’s children#Clippers logging tired (fist.jpg)"

Seeing all the comments on Twitter that praised Li Ze, both James and Wade felt very uncomfortable, but Chris Bosh on the side didn't care about it. Get the championship.

On May 5th, as the Bulls struggled to defeat the Nets 4:99 and won the tiebreaker, the first round of the game was all over.

With the exception of the Bulls, all the other upper half teams have successfully entered the semifinals.

Eastern Conference semifinal matchup:
Heat vs. Bulls; Knicks vs. Pacers.

Western Conference semifinal matchups:
Clippers vs. Grizzlies; Thunder vs. Spurs.

In the first round of the game, only the Bulls, beyond everyone's expectations, successfully counterattacked and reached the Eastern Conference semifinals without Derrick Rose.

The Knicks and Pacers easily eliminated the Celtics and Eagles 4:2 respectively.

There is no suspense in the Western Conference. The team showed its dominance in the first half.

The Thunder, Grizzlies, and Spurs all successfully advanced 4:2.

The Rockets, Nuggets, and Warriors have performed well, but compared with the real strong teams, there is still some gap between the two sides.

Although the defending champion Thunder team successfully reached the Western Conference semifinals, the media reporters in America were not optimistic about this team that lacked major generals.

Durant is alone, and facing his old enemy, the Spurs, most critics believe that this series will be a one-sided situation.

And considering the record of the Grizzlies in the regular season, various sports reporters also believe that the Clippers will never win easily, and the Grizzlies have a huge inside advantage!

On the morning of May 5th, the press conference hall of the Staples Center was full of sports reporters from Amerika, and the sports media from China also came to Los Angeles. Can't help but smile happily:
"This time is really amazing! How many years has it been? Finally, there is a third consecutive MVP!"

The host Yang Jian next to him couldn't help sighing when he heard Director Zhang's words:

"After 1986, no one in the NBA has achieved such an achievement. Li Ze is really amazing!"

Steve Ballmer sat on the far left side of the press conference hall with the Clippers players and staff, and the Dutton family sat on the far right side. With NBA Vice President Adam Silva coming In front of the podium, there was a sudden silence:
"Let us welcome, the youngest MVP in history, two-time championship winner, and the league's superstar-Kayce-LI!"

"Let's congratulate Kayce together! Three consecutive MVPs, great achievement!"

The reporters off the field saw NBA Vice President Adam Silva introduce Li Ze with a smile on his face, and they all applauded wildly.

For this awards ceremony, Li Ze deliberately cut his hair a lot shorter. After being taken care of by the stylist, he looks full of vigor.

Looking at Li Ze, who was wearing a dark gray handmade suit without any accessories, Adam Silva, the vice president, smiled and nodded again. This image definitely meets the standards of the league.

At this time, three small bronze figures had already been placed on the podium. Li Ze came to the front of the stage and first straightened the microphone with a smile. Without any speech script, he nodded to his teammates, and then said:
"Thanks to the NBA for awarding me the MVP again, and thanks to all the sports media who participated in the voting, you are real ball critics!"

Many media at the scene laughed along with them. These days, all kinds of outrageous opinions followed one after another. Li Ze also teased the ball critics who talk nonsense for traffic.

"Of course, getting the MVP is inseparable from the support of the Clippers!"

"This season we have experienced injuries, we have experienced a losing streak, and we have also experienced a 27-game winning streak. I am proud of my teammates!"

"We have the best coaching staff in the league, and we also have the best owner in the league. I will lead everyone to reshape the winning culture of the Clippers and attack the championship!"

"Thanks to my family for supporting me. Of course, the three consecutive MVPs will not be the end. I will continue to pursue greatness. Thank you again for your support!"

Steve Ballmer applauded frantically from the sidelines. Before the press conference was over, he immediately went to the stage and patted Li Ze on the shoulder, then picked up another microphone, and said in a rather excited tone:

"The best player in the league is playing for the Clippers, but that's not enough!"

"I will build the best arena in the league for my team, and we will usher in a new era in Los Angeles!"

"Here I assure the fans of the Clippers that the team will not share the home court with the Lakers forever, and the banner of the championship will fly in our new arena!"

After the old man finished speaking, he hugged Li Ze excitedly, and started punching wildly. The sports media from all walks of life ate a big melon by the way, and immediately followed suit!

There was a lot of flattery at the scene for a while, and Li Ze was a little dumbfounded. Computer sellers really know how to market. Taking advantage of the MVP awards ceremony to announce the construction of a new arena, this will definitely hit the headlines today.

Li Ze winked at his family, Beth looked at the three MVP trophies in front of Li Ze, smiled and gave a thumbs up, the road to basketball was extremely successful.

On the night of the 5th, the Staples Arena was packed. Tonight, there were many UCLA fans, plus Clippers fans and fun fans. The atmosphere was already high before the game even started.

Being able to witness the three consecutive MVPs on the spot, Li Ze's fans will certainly not let go of this opportunity. At a glance, a large number of Chinese fans are holding whiteboards, and twisting their bodies crazily with the music on the spot.

NBA Commissioner David Stern is also in a good mood. As he is about to step down, the league has successfully cultivated another superstar, which will have a huge impact on the future development.

Considering Li Ze's nationality, for the future internationalized NBA league, such three consecutive MVPs are more in line with the interests of the league.

The Clippers players and the Grizzlies players lined up on both sides, and Li Ze and president David Stern stood in the center of the field.

"Thank you! Thanks to the passionate Los Angeles fans, and also to the Los Angeles municipal government for their support to the NBA. Tonight we will witness a great moment together!"

Hearing the cheers erupting from the Staples Arena, Mr. President smiled slightly and continued to speak:
"After the merger of the NBA and the ABA, only 4 stars have achieved three consecutive MVPs, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Julius Erving, and Larry Bird!"

"Now, I am very honored to announce that the most valuable player in the 2012-2013 NBA regular season is Kayce-LI! 22 years old, the fifth three-time MVP superstar! Witnessing the greatness, let us congratulate Kayce again!"

"Keep going! Hope to see you win this award again!"

Mr. President sent his blessings, and handed the MVP trophy to Li Ze with a smile.

"Of course! You'll see! I never break my word!"

President David Stern immediately laughed and applauded when he heard Li Ze's words.

Li Ze raised the trophy and waved in the direction of the coach. The old man watched Li Ze toast and applauded wildly. This is also an honor for UCLA.

"Thanks to the fans present! Thanks to everyone for their support, and thanks to my teammates! I will continue to work hard, thank you all!"

Wearing the Clippers' blue and white training uniform, Li Ze smiled and made a short speech, and the fans at the scene started screaming again.

In the final group photo, besides Li Ze's family, the management of the alliance also came to the scene. Everyone surrounded Li Ze with smiles on their faces to complete this commemorative awards ceremony.

In the commentary seat of TNT, the commentator Kevin Harlan immediately introduced the starting lineups of the two sides in a brisk tone after witnessing Li Ze winning three consecutive MVPs:

"For the Grizzlies, Coach Hollins hasn't changed the lineup. Michael Conley and Tony Allen are paired in the backcourt. Tayshaun Prince and Zach Randolph are on the front line. Marc is the center. - Gasol."

"For the Clippers, Matt Barnes got a chance to start tonight. It seems that coach De Nagro pays more attention to the team's outside shooting."

Steve Kerr introduced the highlights of the game:

"In addition to the starting lineup, the performance of both sides in the rotation stage is also crucial. Jamal Crawford was in a mediocre state in the first round, averaging 10.8 points per game and shooting 38.7% from the field."

"Jerry Bayless of the Grizzlies played very well in the first round, averaging 11.2 points per game and shooting 41.2% from the field. I believe this game will be a fierce battle!"

史蒂夫-科尔的预测非常准确，第1节比赛进行了3分13秒时，场上的比分为4:6。

With Marc Gasol's low post on the left side causing Jordan's foul, after making two free throws, the two sides scored 6:6.

Compared with the Lakers' game in the first round, the Clippers' quick counterattack has not yet appeared after the opening.

After quickly sending the baseline ball, Paul dribbled across the half court. Tony Allen's defense was very targeted, stepping on the three-point line, stalking Li Ze, and never letting him catch the ball easily.

Faced with such a situation, the Clippers were naturally prepared. As Paul made an offensive gesture, Jordan and Griffin on the inside were ready to cover.

Li Ze quickly slid to the baseline, from right to left, and finally, with the help of Griffin's cover near the baseline on the left, he quickly bounced out to the left flank outside the three-point line.

While running without the ball, other Clippers players were also moving, and Matt Barnes cut directly to the right flank beyond the three-point line to open up the offensive space.

When Li Ze received the pass from Paul, he quickly lowered his center of gravity and made a breakthrough with the ball in his left hand. He just took two big steps and came to the left block position. Zach Randolph's defense immediately blocked him .

Easy to see through the opponent's defensive intentions, Li Ze sent a ground pass and found Griffin at the bottom left of the basket. The latter just received the ball and was immediately guarded by Marc Gasol.

The first attack was unsuccessful, and Zach Randolph's defense followed suit.

Under the blockade of the two, it directly caused Griffin's mistake, and the ball was dribbled to the bottom line
Seeing the successful defense, Randolph, the black fat man, immediately beat his chest excitedly.

Griffin was a little depressed. Marc Gasol's big body combined with his excellent defensive awareness still played a big role. The superficial brothers had no chance to complete the internal pass and internal cooperation, so they were surrounded by the two together.

Paul was a little anxious seeing this situation, and immediately reminded Griffin loudly while returning to defense:
"Move and play! Cover in the zone, don't wait around the basket to catch the ball."

Unlike the Lakers' willingness to defend, the Grizzlies play more defensively. Through these days of video research, everyone in the Clippers knows that the opponent is very good at slowing down the game. There are only 73 rounds per game. In 87 possessions against the Clippers, the Grizzlies were terribly slow.
Michael Conley dribbled slowly across the half court. In order to cut off the connection between the opponent's outside line and inside line, Paul almost led the defense in the half court, constantly harassing Conley's dribbling.

However, both of them are small guards in their early 180s. In the face of Chris Paul's harassment, Michael Conley is still very stable.

Noticing that Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol completed the baseline cross-screen, Michael Conley immediately gave the ball to Randolph in the left block.

Facing Griffin's defense, the black fat man put the ball with his right hand after three threats, and broke through to the line. He was blocked by Griffin and immediately hit him.

Relying on a streaky body, Randolph directly drove Griffin into the paint, then quickly turned around towards the baseline with the ball in his right hand, carried Griffin away with his body, and easily completed the projectile with his left hand!

"Shua!" Two points from the basket!
The black fat man who finished the goal showed off his biceps by the way. In this game, the Grizzlies' inside line played very aggressively at the beginning, and the black and white bears madly attacked the Clippers' inside line.

Griffin, who likes to catch dunks, is a bit sore at this time, there is no space to take off, and the Grizzlies obviously let go of his mid-range. After only 4 minutes in the opening game, the Grizzlies caught the Clippers weakness.

Paul was also entangled enough by Michael Conley. The Grizzlies have a clear division of labor. The outside line is almost transformed into a defensive engineer, and the offensive end is launched from the inside.

Tony Allen saw Li Ze in the right block and asked for the ball with his back, and immediately gave Randolph a look inside, and the black fat man was ready to double-team at any time.

It was useless to even pull and pull, Li Ze firmly stuck Tony Allen behind him, and at the moment Paul passed the ball, Randolph immediately stepped forward to double-team.

However, Li Ze was already prepared. The opponent had just moved, and after catching the ball, he took advantage of the situation with his left foot as the axis, turned around towards the baseline, lay back and shot!
"Shua!" The two-pointer was hit steadily.

The extremely fast speed of handling the ball avoided this double-team. Tony Allen, who failed to defend, was a little annoyed. If he was 10 centimeters taller, perhaps the defensive deterrence would be completely different.

The head coach Hollins on the sidelines immediately greeted Tony Allen loudly, made a tactical gesture, and then pressed his hands down, signaling to continue to slow down the pace of the game.

In the next few minutes, the scores of the two sides rose slowly. Although the Grizzlies frequently hit the iron, the fierce defense also made it very difficult for the Clippers to score.

Especially after the head coach Hollins gave tactical instructions, the Grizzlies consciously let go of Matt Barnes' outside line, and Prince began to cooperate with Tony Allen to double-team Li Ze.

At this time, the Grizzlies' defenders Randolph and Gasol stood near the bottom line on the left and right, guarding Griffin and Jordan under the basket.

Michael Conley at the top of the arc stared at Paul, and Matt Barnes on the right wing was directly emptied.

Li Ze had just received the ball from the left flank outside the three-point line. Tony Allen first stepped forward to lead the defense, and then Prince immediately stepped forward to double-team from the free throw line.

According to the set tactics, Griffin immediately came to the free throw line to respond, received a pass from Li Ze, and quickly threw the ball to Matt Barnes on the right wing outside the three-point line, who received the ball , Facing the open opportunity, adjusted slightly, and quickly shot a jumper!
"Bang!" Another strike!
The rebound was firmly protected by Marc Gasol, and the Grizzlies did not push for a conversion attack. After Michael Conley received the ball, he dribbled across the half court in a leisurely manner.

Facing Paul's entanglement, he firmly protected the ball, dribbled it to the right wing outside the three-point line, hit the ground and passed the ball, and easily gave the ball to Gasol, who was in the right block.

Facing Jordan's defense, after three threats, he held the ball in his right hand and went to the bottom line, approaching the paint area, slamming, and then suddenly turned around quickly, came to the paint area, against Jordan's defense, turned around and shot a mid-range jumper!

"Shua!" The two-pointer was scored again.

The Grizzlies bench was full of joy, and coach De Nagro quickly requested a timeout. At this time, there were 1 minutes and 6 seconds left in the first quarter, and the score was 41:12.

Sitting back on the bench, Li Ze had a serious expression on his face. Seeing his downcast brother Griffin and the somewhat confused little Jordan, he couldn't help sighing inwardly:

"The playoffs really can't tolerate a little weakness, this game has to be played directly"
