NBA peak

Chapter 718
"Davis is probably going to suffer."

Ge Feng quickly saw through the Grizzlies' attempt and said something to Kobe.

Kobe smiled and said nothing.

Let Ge Feng play at this time and confront Piccolo?
No need.

The thought in Kobe's mind is: When I hold Wang Zang in my hand, I am not prepared to overwhelm my opponent too much.I will give you a chance to jump up and down, and even make you think that you can beat me.In the end, I will use a king bomb to tell you that everything is not as you imagined. Moreover, at the same time, all your efforts will be wasted. This is the most ruthless way to defeat your opponent.

Bick hoped the Lakers would not notice the anomaly too early.

Imagination is beautiful, reality is cruel.

Although Bick only left Morant and Crowder as starters, his plan was caught by the shrewd Kobe and Ge Feng in the first place.

Bryant followed the rules and adopted a regular rotation.

However, Corbett deliberately reminded the players in the rotation to note that the Grizzlies will go all out in the second quarter.

Sure enough, as soon as the second quarter started, the Grizzlies' formation changed slightly from the first quarter.

Crowder holds the ball at the top of the arc, Morant and Jones run from the three-point line on both sides, and the two insiders are on the same side of the basketball court.

Such a formation can maximize the offensive space, create many three-point shooting opportunities, and at the same time maximize the cover and efficiency of low-post offense.

Everything is ready, and the next step is to see if Morant, Crowder, Jones and others can shoot a three-pointer into the basket.

Less than 10 seconds after the start of the game, Jones seized the loophole of Kuzma's inactive defense and opened his hand to score a three-pointer.

The cheers of the Grizzlies fans immediately sounded at the scene.

Kobe saw the players slack, came to the sideline very angrily, glared at Kuzma and shouted.

Huang Ama, you can have some snacks!

Before the start of the game, Kobe also specifically explained that the Grizzlies will exert their strength at this time.

Once the Lakers fail to stop the momentum of the Grizzlies, the point difference will really be expanded to double digits.

The Lakers attacked, and the Grizzlies' defensive strategy worked. After defending against the Lakers' offense, they immediately launched a defensive counterattack.

The Grizzlies' defensive formation is prepared for defensive counterattacks.

Morant and Jones rushed to the frontcourt immediately, and the Lakers only had Pope in time to retreat. In the end, the ball was dunked by Morant to end.

5 is better than 0!

too fast!
In less than 1 minute of the second quarter, the Grizzlies widened the point difference to 7 points.

This is where tactics matter.

In many cases, after a wave of correct adjustments, the team immediately showed momentum and finally won the victory.

After a round of successful offense and defense, the Grizzlies' momentum surged.

Kuzma finally realized what a stupid mistake he made.

It is because of the slow pace of a round that Kuzma has already put the Lakers into a passive position.

The Grizzlies continued to switch defenses infinitely, pressing the Lakers, hoping to make the Lakers make mistakes or miss shots.

Davis received the pass and began to use his personal ability to stabilize the rhythm.

However, Piccolo's arrangement for Davis was very good in advance.

As soon as Davis received the ball, two people immediately surrounded Davis.

Davis can only distribute the ball to Pope outside the three-point line.

Pope made a three-pointer.

"boom--"

Maybe it's because the momentum is completely coming to the Grizzlies, and Pope's touch is not very good.

I feel sad!
Kobe rubbed his forehead.

However, Kobe still decided to implement his idea and continue to let Ge Feng rest underneath.

Kobe can see through the Grizzlies' attempts, so he is naturally confident of winning this round of the series.

Even if the Lakers really lose this game, then it is a very timely lesson for these boys who have won too much and no longer know the heights of heaven and earth.

Of course, the Lakers will definitely be questioned by more people in the process of questioning the maintenance of the rotation.

Kobe doesn't need to explain all this to fans who don't understand him.

As long as the Lakers can finally win the championship, the fans will forgive no matter how tortuous the process is.

This is the immutable law of the NBA.

The Lakers attacked in the frontcourt and were frequently put down by the Grizzlies. Instead, the Grizzlies launched a defensive counterattack, and the Lakers were a little exhausted.

Kobe finally requested a timeout after Morant made a layup and 1-for-3.

Kobe was not going to call this timeout.

He just wanted to give this group of floating Lakers players a little color.

However, if Kobe has not called a timeout, the confidence of the Lakers' substitutes will be crushed.

That's not good either.

Therefore, Kobe chose to pause at the moment when the point difference was just expanded to 12 points by the Grizzlies.

After the timeout, Kobe was not idle. He called all the players together and scolded them all over the face.

Kobe didn't arrange anything tactical for the fans.

The situation is different for the Lakers and Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies have to use some tactical opportunism to hope to defeat the Lakers.

But the Lakers' biggest problem is their ego.

In the long-term winning process of the Lakers this season, players can easily float into the sky.

Sometimes, if you don't beat a player with a club when he floats into the sky, he might actually float into outer space.

Howard is an example of such a pit.

If you don't work hard at the peak, when you want to work hard, the Lakers just squeeze out his remaining value, and then immediately get rid of him.

Kobe's strictness to the players at the moment is actually protecting the players.

The players bowed their heads one by one and remained silent.

The big three of TNT are also very excited in the live broadcast room at the moment.

Before the game, the Lakers, whom they had been optimistic about for a while, actually felt like being trained by the Grizzlies.

Is this still the eighth-ranked Grizzly?

Looking at the posture in the second quarter, the Grizzlies are the big brother in the West.

"Sure enough, you can't underestimate the team culture of the Grizzlies, they are so incredible!"

Smith shook his head, constantly praising the Grizzlies' tenacity.

Knowing this, Smith boldly took another gamble with the other two.

Maybe the Grizzlies really won?
Barkley could tell at a glance what his old buddy was thinking.

"Smith, how about we make a bet. I bet the Lakers will win the game, and you bet the Grizzlies will win the game. The bet is a house in my hometown, how?" Barkley said into the microphone.

Among the TNT Big Three, Barkley has never publicly bet on anything since the last time Barkley lost the only regular season MVP trophy in his career and Smith lost a championship ring.

This time, the Big Three couldn't hold back anymore.

Smith pondered Barkley's words.

He is a little hesitant now, wondering if he should agree to Barkley's bet.

If the Grizzlies can really win the game, not only can he get back the lost championship trophy, maybe he can also take over the house of Barkley's hometown.

What a cool pinnacle of life!

Barkley was so obsessed with it.
