Chapter 396

At 21 pm on the [-]st, the Lakers played against the Grizzlies.

The whole team was exhausted, and their physical strength was obviously lacking. Su Yang saw it, and did not use words to encourage him. The main reason is that most of the players are just ordinary people. It is normal to be tired after continuous high-intensity games, and not everyone is like Kobe. like that.

For regular season slack, make do as you can.

After all, the age of the two main players of the Lakers is there, and Curry also has potential injuries, so it is another kind of load management.

The game started in a hurry.

Hill's first attack was cut by Randolph, followed by Tony Allen stealing Kobe head-on, and Conley flanking and stealing Curry. -The 6th season averaged the least points per game in the league.

The Grizzlies' defensive level has been greatly improved compared to the 11-12 season. Gasol has grown into the best defensive player level. Tony Allen has also entered the strongest defensive stage of his career. Conley's defense is also the pinnacle of his career, and far exceeds other players. season.

Even Zach Randolph, who has always been defensively biased, has reached the peak of defense through active low-post defense and rebounding.

The Lakers didn't pay much attention, coupled with the lack of physical strength, entered the rhythm relatively slowly. In the first quarter, they made 6 turnovers, 4 fouls, and lost 3 offensive rebounds. , Dig a big hole for yourself.

Su Yang was not in a hurry, and instead reused the bench, with Dreaming Green as the axis, paired with Jamison, Bazemore, Meeks, and Blake, a pure run-and-gun lineup, shooting whenever there was space, and starting the second quarter. Into a wave of 13 to 2 attack wave.

Grizzlies coach Hollins was dumbfounded on the spot. He had never seen a 198 player play a center and shoot a three-pointer. Time is running out.

When the Grizzlies sent the main force, Su Yang replaced Bazemore with Kobe and Blake with Curry.

The Lakers formed the ultimate five-small lineup. According to Su Yang's arrangement, Kobe and Curry acted as bait, successfully attracting most of the Grizzlies' defense, helping Meeks and Jamison get more mobile phone opportunities. Green also used a three-pointer to make the Little Gasol was at a loss.

Although the Lakers were blown up on the inside when defending, the Lakers had a high percentage of successful offense and returned to the defense very quickly. The Grizzlies were forced to drop a lot of ground, and because the Lakers interfered with the pass, they were forced to continuously screen and pass the ball to the inside. The overall score Average efficiency.

After halftime, the Lakers led the Grizzlies by 7 points. O'Neal, who commented on the game live, couldn't help sighing: "Since I and my brother Yao Ming retired, there is no dominant center in this league. The situation where a two-meter player plays a center forward but is not punished is not a beast like Ben Wallace, but a little fat man..."

Back from the halftime break, in the third quarter, the Lakers resumed regular play. Su Yang told the Lakers in advance that they would lose points.

Artest and the others were not convinced, but in the end, the Grizzlies played a 13-6 game. The Lakers made many mistakes as in the first quarter. The main reason was that the ball was too slow and the Grizzlies' defense could keep up. The Lakers were severely limited on every offense.

"Our starting lineup lacks a high-low interspersed player in positional battles, and lacks a set-up early cover player in fast breaks. The best way is to let Green replace Jordan Hill..." Su Yang talked in detail with several assistants without hesitation, the volume It's average.

The main thing is that the Lakers have an improved version of UCLA's tactical system. Green is the perfect candidate. In comparison, Jordan Hill has only one mid-range shot, and his support, pick-and-roll and defense have not yet reached a passing level. He doesn't match the other four starters. .

After the third quarter, the Lakers led by only 2 points, and Su Yang sent out a running and bombing system headed by Green.

But compared to the previous second quarter, the Grizzlies are already on the defensive. Tony Allen came on the stage ahead of time and offered a super off-ball pursuit. Outbreak, the Lakers did not take advantage.

The game dragged into the decisive moment, Su Yang continued to do the opposite, arranged for Kobe to act as a bait, Curry made two three-pointers to build the foundation for victory, while the Grizzlies crazily grabbed rebounds, but the three-pointer hit the iron and scored Too inefficient to catch up.

When the final whistle sounded, the Lakers defeated the Grizzlies 109 to 104 and successfully extended their winning streak to the ninth game.

In the whole game, Jamison scored 21 points and 7 rebounds, almost equal to Kobe's data, and they accepted the post-match interview together.

Talking about why he scored 20+ points, Jamison said excitedly: "I would like to thank Kobe for sacrificing his own scoring and creating opportunities for me. I also want to thank Coach Su Yang for designing tactics for me. I have had several There is no such treatment during the season."

Meeks and Blake scored a total of 22 points, and the six Lakers scored in double figures, beating the Grizzlies with a unique trick.

Who would have thought that Jamison, a veteran with a basic salary contract, would become the Lakers' thigh in this game, which caught the Grizzlies by surprise.

At the press conference after the game, ESPN reporters quoted O'Neill's remarks during the live broadcast and asked Su Yang what he thought.

Su Yang said with a smile: "Shaquille O'Neal at his peak will undoubtedly blow up Draymond Green, but he can't prevent it, because Green can shoot three-pointers and doesn't need to enter the paint area, and Shaq can't follow him for a long time. Defense, the results of his two matches are [-]-[-]..."

By saying [-]-[-], Su Yang intended to encourage Green.

Anyway, it’s okay to say one more word of praise as before.

As for how the fans and the media discuss it, I don't bother to care about it.

After a day off, the Lakers flew to Dallas to challenge the Mavericks.

As Su Yang expected before, after the 'O'Neill and Green [-]-[-] split' remarks were reported, after a day of fermenting, they have sparked heated discussions on Twitter and other social platforms. Many fans think that Su Yang is crazy, and some people think that he is not Purposeful.

Taking advantage of the team queuing up to get on the bus, Su Yang openly asked Green, who looked a little nervous: "Are you afraid?"

Green immediately shook his head: "Shaq is a great player. I may not be able to surpass him in statistics and honors, but as you said, I have my own value. I will become an atypical power forward or center. I believe Myself, I believe in you."

"Okay, you will be the starting power forward tonight..."

Under everyone's surprised eyes, Su Yang made a final decision, and Jordan Hill was not at all embarrassed, knowing that his tactical value was not as good as Green's.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the game against the Mavericks started.

Dirk Nowitzki continued to be absent due to injuries. Together with OJ Mayo, Darren Collison and Chris Kaman, they made a total of 37 of 8 shots. The Lakers won the game without bloodshed. Mison had 20 points and 15 rebounds.

Green also had 11 points and 7 assists, and sent 5 steals and 2 blocks, locking Chris Kaman on the bench.

For Jamison's two consecutive outstanding performances, Su Yang focused on praise at the press conference, and the media also praised him.

With ten consecutive victories, the Lakers flew to San Antonio overnight to challenge the Spurs, the overlord of the Southwest Division, back to back.

Fighting hard for the audience, Kobe hit the iron with a three-pointer at the last moment. The Lakers regretted losing 105 to 108, and the winning streak ended.

What is worth celebrating is that Green scored 22 points and 13 rebounds and successfully forced the Spurs to send Duncan ahead of schedule in the second quarter. It's hard to say.

In short, it is determined that Green will serve as the starting power forward for a long time.

After playing the Spurs, the Lakers flew back to Los Angeles overnight. Su Yang saw the news report: The Kings owner Maloof Brothers intends to sell the team to the Seattle consortium, and they are trying their best to lobby businesses around their home stadium Sleep Train Arena, after all, 5.5 million US dollars.
