"Does this need to be doubted? Boss can definitely get 40+!"

"That's right, the grizzly bear can't stop the boss!"

"..."

Kenny Smith is speechless about the two brain-residual fans, asking is vain...

……

……

In the eyes of all eyes, the second game of the season between the Lakers and the Grizzlies has begun!

Grizzlies starting lineup is: Conley, Tony - Allen, Jeff - Green, Randolph, Gasol Jr.

Lakers starters: Jeremy Lin, Kobe Bryant, Liu Ren, Gasol, Green.

Gasol overwhelmed his younger brother, won the jump ball, and the Lakers went first.

Jeremy Lin organized the offense with the ball.

Playing against strong teams, the Lakers prefer to use the team to attack and can make full use of the advantages of the lineup.

It's true that Liu Ren is the Lakers' first scoring point in this game, and it's true that he is very strong in singles, but it will undoubtedly be easier for him to score with teammates.

Jeremy Lin held the ball in the top arc and let Green pass the pick-and-roll.

Liu Ren sped off Tony Allen on the right side.

Tony Allen did decline very fast. Most of his defense relied on his physical fitness. At the age of 33, his physical fitness was not as good as before.

Jeremy Lin did not choose to complete the pick-and-roll with Green, but passed the ball straight to the inside during the pick-and-roll, and Liu Ren received the ball while running back.

The Grizzlies didn't pay too much attention to Jeremy Lin and Green's pick-and-roll, all their attention was on Liu Ren!

Even if the big Gasol pulled away to the corner on the other side when Liu Ren ran back, the little Gasol didn't care about it, but made up defense to Liu Ren!

The Grizzlies' intentions are too obvious!They mainly aimed at Liu Ren scoring!

The Lakers have expected this a long time ago, no one would want to be the background for someone else to break the record!They would rather other Lakers score than let Liu Ren score!

When Gasol Jr. and Tony Allen are about to form a double team, Liu Ren passes back to the free throw line!
At this time, Jeremy Lin took Randolph and Conley's defense away together, and Green's free throw line was wide open!

The basketball fell into Green's hands!

Green is the most important part of the Lakers offense. His scoring is mediocre, but his passing is also mediocre. His passing awareness is actually not top-notch, but his ability to communicate with players on the court and mobilize his teammates to move is quite outstanding. !And quite possibly the best in the league!

So among so many people in the Lakers, Green has a very large voice on the court, and both Liu Ren and Kobe have to listen to his arrangements in the offense!
From the point of view of field leadership, he is still very suitable for the position of point forward.

Green's position when he received the ball was very good, just on the free throw line. Obviously this is a part of the tactical arrangement.

But the Grizzlies are Grizzlies after all, and their defensive awareness is too good. Jeff Green quickly defended after Green got the ball.

Green had expected this a long time ago. Although the Grizzlies gave up part of their defense to speed up their offense after changing coaches since the second half of last year, their defense did not really drop too much in positional battles. The biggest reason for the decline in defense is usually When the offense speeds up too much, the chances of the defensive end falling into position are reduced.

But Green's defense came over, which meant that Kobe was empty!
Kobe also seized the opportunity. When Jeff Green went to defend Green, he cut to a step outside the three-second zone on the other side of Liu Ren. Green passed the ball in the first place!

Kobe's close shot!

Big Gasol's three-pointers can be ignored by Jr. Gasol knows that his elder brother's three-pointers are not effective at all times, and his shooting percentage is quite average, but because Kobe didn't suffer those two more injuries, his strength He has always been good at this position, even if he closed his eyes and made a shot, Gasol thought he could get in!

Gasol quickly turned around to defend Kobe.

but!

Kobe Bryant's action is a fake action!He threw the ball into the air with one hand!
"Not good!" Little Gasol knew he had fallen for it!

"boom"

Liu Ren jumped up on the spot and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!
Tony Allen looked helpless, he couldn't hold it back!
Watching Kobe coolly turning around and returning to defense, Liu Ren felt that Kobe, who loves to pretend - is so cute today!It's really pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at it!

Just now, Kobe was absolutely sure of scoring the goal, but he still chose to create opportunities for Liu Ren.

I said no in my heart, but my body is still very honest!
"Mark! What did you do! You said you were going to kill that guy! Why did you let him go!" Randolph growled dissatisfied.

"Zach, although it is necessary to prevent Liu from scoring 40 points, winning is more important. Kobe can score 100% of that goal just now!" Gasol explained.

"That can't let that bastard score so easily! I don't care about winning or not! I just want that guy not to score 40 points!" Randolph roared and ran to the frontcourt.

"Mark, don't worry, Zach is so outspoken. His friend was humiliated by Liu. It's understandable for him to be so angry." Conley patted Gasol on the back.

Little Gasol frowned and didn't continue talking. He felt very uncomfortable. Could this inexplicable reason be more important than victory?
Grizzlies attack.

In the second half of last season, the Grizzlies successfully developed a new winning mode, and it was very successful. Now relying on a more balanced offensive and defensive system, they have a very high winning percentage, ranking fourth in the Western Conference with 12 wins and 4 losses, second only to the The Lakers, Warriors, and Rockets are three teams.

The athletic ability of the Grizzlies lineup is actually not too bad, and even Gasol Jr. has good mobility.

The Lakers were quite impressed by the Grizzlies' fast offense in the last game.

But today, it took Conley seven seconds to dribble across half court!

Everyone at the scene except the Grizzlies felt a feeling of constipation!

When the Grizzlies dawdled to only 10 seconds left and then handed over to Randolph for a single, everyone saw it!
really!The Grizzlies have to rely on the rhythm again in this game!
Randolph singles Green!
After dawdling the time until there were 2 seconds left, Randolph turned around and made a big throw!

The ball bounced around the rim and then fell into the rim like Randolph's usual shots.

"Depend on!"

Everyone except the Grizzlies couldn't help cursing inwardly, some even cursed out loud!
An attack is only 24 seconds, but Randolph played an attack for 26 seconds after a single!What the hell is such a simple and clear offensive routine, a little change, a little movement, an offensive routine that is not complicated at all!

You must know that the Lakers looked so complicated and smooth offense just now, it only took 10 seconds!

Ratings killer!
It was just Randolph's first attack, and many fans fell asleep watching it!

While the ball was still bouncing back and forth on the basket, the Grizzlies had already returned to defense. The purpose was very clear, no matter whether they scored or not, they had to do a good job of defense to slow down the rhythm of the game!
