NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 50 Ready to close the game
Perhaps in the small ball era, 11 points is nothing.

But it's not the small ball era yet.

At the same time, the Grizzlies are still a poor offensive team.

Coupled with the fact that Lionel Hollins was stunned at the beginning of the game, it is difficult for Grizzlies fans to have too many expectations.

Speaking of which, if it wasn't for Su Chen taking the initiative to drop the five small lineups and allowing Curry to enter the rotation ahead of time, Lionel Hollins might really have nothing to do and be defeated in the first quarter.

At this time, in the rest area of ​​the Grizzlies, Lionel Hollins is also intensively arranging strategies.

All the Grizzlies players were listening quietly. They were beaten quite embarrassingly in the first quarter. At this time, they could only listen to what Lionel Hollins could do.

Lionel Hollins actually didn't really come up with any countermeasures, he just emphasized his mental attributes and came up with some conventional strategies to deal with it.

After all, in just over ten minutes, there was no room for him to think about it.

Five small lineups may have appeared in the history of the league, but they have not appeared in the playoffs, especially in the Western Conference Finals.

Even Don Nelson, known as the 'mad scientist', never made such a crazy move.

If Lionel Hollins can really come up with a real response plan in a short time, then he will be the top coach in history.

"Show enough attention, we can't lose this home again, everyone cheers me up."

After the strategy is arranged, the second quarter of the game is about to start.

Lionel Hollins cheers on the crowd.

It's just that everyone in the Grizzlies didn't show too much excitement, and the expressions of each Grizzlies player were rather dignified.

It was Conley who took the lead and roared twice, and the others got a little bit of fighting spirit.

Apparently, they hadn't played in the five small lineups just now, which caused the Grizzlies' players to suffer a lot in terms of confidence.

The second quarter begins.

The Grizzlies are still an all-main lineup. For the Grizzlies, this game is a game where minor injuries cannot be missed.

Everyone in the Grizzlies must be prepared to play with willpower.

On the other hand, the Warriors are still in rotation, and they have not dispatched all the main players at all.

Even the splash in the backcourt is staggered to lead the team.

In the second half of the first quarter, Thompson led the team. As soon as the second quarter opened, Thompson went to rest, and Curry led the team.

The Grizzlies are united, while the Warriors are waiting for work, which seems to form a sharp contrast.

The Grizzlies continued to play a role in the first quarter. Although Curry felt good in the second quarter, the score was not opened.

Of course, Curry didn't play all the time, and Curry even made a few shots for David Lee.

David Lee is now in the regular rotation after the starting center was injured.

Su Chen also talked to David Lee. After seeing the strength of the team system, David Lee really accepted the fact that he fell out of the starting lineup.

He also knows that his defensive ability is not enough to serve as the team's starting center, and to help the team's role as a backup center or power forward, David Lee can still accept it.

Of course, he doesn't have to accept it, but Su Chen won't give him playing time.

Although David Lee's defensive shortcomings are difficult to overcome, David Lee's rebounding ability is still good.

At the same time, although the pick-and-roll is not very solid, but his mobile pick-and-roll referees don't often blow it, Su Chen also acquiesced to David Lee's pick-and-roll method.

Of course, the most important thing is that David Lee has the ability to handle the ball with one hand.

David Lee is not only good at post-up singles, because of system reasons, post-up singles are basically reduced to nothing.

Mid-range shots, short-range throws, and layups under the basket are also very good.

After all, David Lee is the only All-Star for the Warriors this season, and he still has a hand in offense.

The Grizzlies' defense still couldn't stop the Warriors' offense.

At the same time, the Grizzlies' own offense has been slow to improve efficiency.

Grizzlies 39:62 Warriors.

At halftime, the Warriors had a 23-point lead.

The defense that the Grizzlies are proud of was beaten to pieces by the five small lineups at the beginning, and the five small lineups were useless and did not slow down.

"The Grizzlies are completely lost in this game."

Johnson said helplessly.

I originally thought that the G2 game of this series would be a strong counterattack by the Grizzlies defending their home court.

But who would have thought that this would turn into a unilateral game of the Warriors.

"When a team with weak offense and strong defense cannot limit the opponent on the defensive end, he has already lost more than half of it."

Kenny Smith also pointed out the rhythm of the game.

Even Barkley, who couldn't get used to the Warriors, looked like he had nothing to say at this time, even if he was watching and chatting, he didn't speak.

"Why is our dear Sir Charles silent? It's so quiet today."

After Kenny Smith found out, he also laughed at Barkley mercilessly.

"When a jump-shooting team feels good, what can I say?"

Barkley was pointed out by Kenny Smith and had to speak.

However, from Barkley's tone, he is still full of dissatisfaction with the Warriors, and his words are full of yin and yang.

"Hahahahahaha."

Barkley's words couldn't help but cause everyone to burst into laughter.

Even O'Neill, who is in the same camp as Barkley, couldn't help laughing after seeing Barkley being so stubborn.

"Hey man, are you rooting for the Warriors?"

Barkley couldn't help saying when he saw O'Neill's defection.

"No, I still don't support the Warriors, it's just that Barkley looks so funny."

"I can't help it. Hahaha."

O'Neill said while smiling.

The half-time break passed quickly.

In the locker room, Lionel Hollins also wanted to boost morale.

But Lionel Hollins himself is not a coach who is good at feeding chicken soup, and the players are not in a very high mood at this time.

The third quarter started.

After 2 minutes of the game.

Su Chen called a timeout and replaced the five small lineups at the same time.

Su Chen is planning to close the game. Tonight's Warriors feel pretty good, so they won't be joking with the Grizzlies.

"This quarter speeds up the rhythm of offensive and defensive transitions, making the last quarter a garbage time."

Su Chen encouraged everyone.

The warriors' morale was already high, and hearing Su Chen's slightly arrogant words made everyone's blood boil.

Most of the Warriors lineup is now young people, easy to get on.

There are two sides to being young. Sometimes relying on passion, you can explode beyond your own strength, and you may not be able to control your movements and fall into a foul trap.
