NBA peak

Chapter 727 The Best Sixth Man
It was a devastating three-pointer.

Because this three-point hit not only allowed the Lakers to lead the score again, but also immediately exposed the youthful problems of the Grizzlies.

Grizzlies offense.

Morant felt the icy atmosphere of the Grizzlies scene, and now Morant couldn't wait to score a three-pointer and return the color.

But the Lakers' defense was very good, and Morant didn't have a chance to make a move.

After Bo Yang's three-pointer soared, Ge Feng yelled at everyone to increase their defensive strength.

In fact, even if Ge Feng didn't have to yell, his teammates could feel that these two rounds are the most important two rounds in the third quarter.

This will directly determine the next morale of the two teams.

Seeing that there was no chance, Morant returned to the half court with the ball, began to organize his teammates to move, and forcibly created three-point opportunities.

This is a scene that the two teams often see on offense and defense in the small ball era.

But this game is different.

When Morant retreated to the half-court line, Schroeder followed Morant for the first time amidst the shouts of his teammates.

Morant was in a hurry: You didn't play your cards according to common sense!
Immediately, Morant accelerated, took a step past Schroeder, ran directly to the three-point line and shot.

This is typical small ball play.

However, Morant overlooked one point, that is, under the huge physical consumption and physical confrontation, the feeling of his three-point shot is obviously softer than usual.

"boom."

The ball fell straight through the air and hit the front edge of the hoop.

Harrell jumped high, grabbed the defensive rebound, and prepared to launch a fast break himself.

Harrell made a mistake similar to Morant at this time, that is, the intensity of the game should not be underestimated.

In the small ball era, you can often see centers and power forwards dribbling the ball themselves.

But if the defensive intensity of the game is very intense, and the big man dribbles all over the court, there is an 80% probability that he will be intercepted.

This is the professionalism of the NBA, and it is also the reason why the NBA looks better than other basketball games.

What the NBA plays is the limit of basketball.

Sure enough, when Harrell was halfway through, he was confronted by Jalen Jr., which delayed the attack speed.

The referee did not blow his whistle.

The big man dribbles the ball with a high center of gravity, and the height difference between the ball's rise and fall is also large. At this time, Morant seized the opportunity of Harrell's slow collection of the ball, and took a step to steal Harrell.

Harrell fell to the ground to protect the ball, but the ball was still robbed by the faster and smaller Morant.

"Whatthefuck! Wonderful offense and defense!"

O'Neal in the TNT live room stood up and cursed excitedly.

He hadn't seen this kind of passionate offensive and defensive battle for a long time.

Because the ball was lost at halftime, no one from the Lakers had time to retreat. After Morant steals Harrell, he ends with a dunk, rekindling the emotions of the Grizzlies fans!

"This is the NBA! Rookie! Welcome to the NBA!"

Barkley, who is used to seeing big scenes, was also a little excited at this time.

The offense and defense of the Lakers and Grizzlies brought them back to the passionate NBA style of play in the 90s.

When the third quarter ended, the score was 62 to 59, and the Lakers led the Grizzlies by only 3 points.

At the end of the first half, the score of the two teams was 40 to 44, and the Grizzlies led the Lakers by 4 points.

At the end of the third quarter, the score of the two teams was 62 to 59, and the Lakers only led the Grizzlies by 3 points.

All the Grizzlies fans at the scene were a little out of control at the moment.

The opponent is number one in the league with 70 wins!

Although the Grizzlies' record is only eighth in the West, they still caused a lot of trouble for the Lakers.

Grizzlies tell the world with their tenacity, what is the spirit of Memphis people!
The offense and defense shown by the Grizzlies and Lakers is what the real NBA should look like!

Between the third and fourth quarters, there is a short two-and-a-half-minute break.

Taking advantage of this time, players on both sides are working hard to adjust and recover.

Harrell was a little annoyed.

Bo Yang made a three-pointer just now. When the Lakers were just about to start, because of their own dribbling error, the Grizzlies reconnected the broken string.

However, the teammates did not blame Harrell, but kept comforting him: "It's okay, it's okay, hold on, we still have an advantage!"

Harrell wiped the sweat off his face and looked firmly at the opponent's basket.

"Come on! In the last quarter, let fans all over the world see who is the best team in the world!"

In the fourth quarter, back on the court, Ge Feng and Davis were still resting off the court, and Pope and Harrell came off the bench to transition 4 minutes before the fourth quarter.

Harrell's enthusiasm is very high. Whether it is defense or offense, Karel is going all out to get stuck on every inch of the floor.

Pope lobbed the ball to Harrell, and Harrell leaned on Jalen Jr. and turned hard to the basket, causing Jalen Jr. to foul.

This is Jalen Jr.'s fourth foul in this field.

Harrell walked to the free throw line. It may be that Harrell was too emotional. He made two free throws and only hit one goal.

63 to 59, the Lakers extended their lead by 1 point.

But soon, with the Grizzlies' offense, Anderson ran back and rushed to the inside, causing a foul by Harrell's thugs.

Harrell has also committed 5 fouls in this game. If there is another foul, Harrell will be expelled.

However, Harrell is not very worried about the number of fouls he has committed. He will rest after Davis and McGee return.

The defenses on both sides are very tough, and no one can easily find a shot space.

Anderson made two free throws, and the Grizzlies narrowed the point difference to 2 points.

In the Lakers' offense, Harrell stuck Anderson behind him, and after receiving a pass from his teammate, he turned and hooked directly.

"Shh."

The ball went in!

Anderson punched his hand angrily. He should have rushed to interfere with the ball just now without hesitation.

Grayson missed a layup, and Jalen Jr. grabbed an offensive rebound and scored the ball through a tip-up.

No matter how Harrell scores, the Grizzlies are someone who can stand up and continue the scoring, keeping suspense for the game.

Harrell played more and more fiercely. On the third attack, Harrell caused a defensive foul on Jalen Jr. again.

This time, Harrell made a complete contribution!

Both Ge Feng and Davis jumped up from the bench at this time, full of excitement.

Less than 3 minutes after the opening of the fourth quarter, Harrell made Jalen Jr. two defensive fouls in a row, directly allowing Jalen Jr. to accumulate 5 personal fouls!
This means that if Jalen Jr. commits another foul, he will be expelled from the field.

The positioning of Jalen Jr. and Harrell are different. Jaren Jr. is the core of the Grizzlies' inside line. Once he is sent off, the Grizzlies will find it difficult to play the next game.

Bick asked the referee to protest, but the referee immediately rejected Bick's protest after discussing it.

Jalen Jr.'s foul was obvious, and no one could justify him.

Piccolo was very helpless, so he could only spread his hands, replaced Morant and Brooks, and asked Jalen Jr. to return to the court to rest.
