Basketball K God

Chapter 461

On May 5, the Grizzlies played G6 of the series away at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.This game is an early decisive battle for the Clippers, but not for them.

Obviously, the Clippers will be desperate in this game, so how to avoid injuries while fighting for victory is a question that the Grizzlies coaching staff needs to consider.

Xie Kai looked relaxed. He knew many of the staff at the Staples Center, and he seemed to be playing a home game here.

In the pre-match interview, Xie Kai said: "I am shocked by Derek's injury, and I hope he can recover soon! I don't want to see any other players injured, let the injury stay away from this league!"

Nowadays, Xie Kai's influence is getting bigger and bigger, so whatever he says will be spread on the Internet, radio and TV, so now he can't speak according to his own temper.The last time he expressed his dislike for Evans in public, this is the most direct time he has said in recent years.Moreover, the conflict between the two of them is well known to the world, and there is nothing to hide.It was the other party who provoked him first. If I had always chosen to endure it, I thought I was afraid of him.

Many thank-you fans came to the Staples site, and a large number of overseas Chinese poured into the arena to watch the game.Most of the Asians in the arena came to support Xie Kai.

Chen Guixiang led the members of the "Xie Kai Fan Club" and took their seats at the scene early.Los Angeles is not Xie Kai's home game, but it is their home game.They prepared a lot of thank you posters, large pictures, etc., creating a strong momentum.

Clippers star Bob McAdoo also came to the scene today to watch the game of his old club.The Clippers have not made the playoffs for a long time. The last time they made the playoffs was in the 2005-06 season.

Over the years, as the Lakers' rival in the same city, the Clippers have watched this rival in the same city win the championship in the playoffs time and time again.

Now, the Clippers are starting to rise. They have Paul and a large number of young potential stocks, and the future is limitless.

Jeremy Lin also came to watch the game today. Since he was reimbursed for the season, he has been recovering from his injuries.

Xie Kai and Jeremy Lin hugged and joked with a smile: "It makes me feel strange that you don't wear a jersey. The field is more suitable for you. Hurry up and get back!"

Jeremy Lin responded with a smile: "My hands are almost itching to death. I haven't played basketball for a long time. I really can't stand it anymore!"

Xie Kai can understand Jeremy Lin's helplessness. As a person who regards basketball as his life, not being able to play basketball is really a torment.

This game received a lot of attention and was broadcast live across the United States.

Xie Kai knows that this game will probably be the most difficult game in this round of the series.

The starting lineups of both sides were announced soon, and the Grizzlies are still the previous starting lineups.They've won consecutively and there's no reason to adjust, and Coach Hollins isn't one to play out of the ordinary.

For the Clippers, coach Vinnie DeNagro once again brought back Caron Butler, who did not play in the last game, back to the starting lineup, while Bobby Simmons, who played a starting lineup, did not know if he would have a chance debut.

In fact, the Clippers do not have that much room for adjustment. The two starting positions of Paul and the inside line are very stable, and no one can replace them.It stands to reason that Foye at the 2nd position did not play well in the two games in Memphis, but he still defended against Xie Kai. If Nick Young and Xiao Mo were to come, facing Xie Kai would be like a cash machine .

Vinnie de Nagro still understands the ball. In the playoffs, it is difficult for someone who defends too poorly to start to face the opponent's core scorer. It is no different from a straight kill.It is different in the second lineup. The defensive pressure will be less, and the opponent's offensive power will be relatively weak. In many cases, as long as the score is explosive, it can still make a contribution.

The first quarter started soon.In the beginning, the defense of both sides was very strict, and the offense was also very cautious.The Clippers have reached the edge of a cliff and dare not be too unrestrained on the offensive end.The previous kind of high hanging basket, playing alley-oops and so on, is rarely used anymore.

Paul is not Nash. He is still a traditional point guard. It is his advantage to coordinate the overall situation. In this situation, playing conservatively is in line with his characteristics.

On the defensive end, the Clippers still actively assist Xie Kai to prevent him from facing Foye one-on-one on the weak side for a long time.

Xie Kai naturally played actively in the face of the attack, but in this game, his teammates didn't know if they were affected by the fans of the away team. They played a bit bluntly and their shooting percentage was very poor.Fortunately, the Clippers' offensive efficiency is also low, so the game seems a bit sluggish and constipated.

This confrontation continued until the rotation stage, and the second team of the two sides played against each other again.

This time, with the support of the cheering support of the home fans, the Clippers' second team played quite aggressively on the offensive end, and the outside shooting percentage was also very high.

As a result, the close game was deflected.

Coach Hollins became anxious and immediately changed back to the starting lineup.

But the Clippers played well here, with bursting self-confidence, and it was not so easy to press down.

Before halftime, the Clippers at home led by 7 points.

In the third quarter, the Grizzlies played their main force and chased the score back, but when it came to the rotation stage, the team's second lineup was blown up again...

Coach Hollins can only use the main force to chase points.

However, the Clippers did not let the starters come back too early, and reserved physical fitness for the starting lineup.

In the final decisive battle, the Clippers relied on Paul's field control to play steadily and keep the score advantage.On the other hand, the starting lineup of the Grizzlies lost the game because they played too long and had no energy in the end.

In the end, the Clippers struggled to get back a game, rewriting the total score of the series to 1:2.

After the game, some experts pointed out that if the Clippers want to beat the Grizzlies in this round of the series, they need to hold the opponent as much as possible in the starting stage, and then their second team will beat the opponent's second team. Chance!
After losing this game, Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins was also questioned. They believed that there was a problem with his on-the-spot adjustment. for so long.

After the game, Coach Hollins did not accept an interview. He knew he would be blamed, and he didn't know what to say, so he simply refused to accept an interview.

The weaknesses of the Grizzlies were fully exposed in this game.Their second team's offensive power is too weak, and their defense is not as good as the starting lineup.This is almost a flaw in the lineup structure, as if there is no room for adjustment in a short period of time...
