Chapter 757 On the brink of desperation
This game was the first time the Warriors started with a small lineup of 5, but judging from the effect, the Grizzlies were at a loss.

In the whole game, although the Warriors did not score as well as their opponents inside, they did not lose too many rebounds.As for assists and fast break points, they far exceed their opponents.

The Grizzlies have been suppressed and eventually defeated by their opponents.

The Warriors defeated the Grizzlies 108:97. Their good pass and cut cooperation and the perfect 3-pointers were all played in this game.

The score of the series between the two sides was rewritten to 2:2. Next, the two sides will move to Memphis for the battle of Tianwangshan at the home court of the Grizzlies.

Xie Kai still performed bravely in this game, scoring 39 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, but he still couldn't stop the team from falling behind.

After the game, discussions and research on the Warriors' five small lineups filled the major sports media, major TV stations and radio stations.Many of those NBA celebrities have come out to point out the country, inspire words, and express their opinions.Some made countermeasures for the Grizzlies, and some thought about the shortcomings and advantages of this lineup.

The Grizzlies flew back to Memphis that night.For them, 1 win and 1 loss in Oakland is basically the completion of the task.Next is a 3-game 2-win game. Everyone is almost on the same starting line, and they have home court advantage.

However, judging from the loss of the game in G4, the Grizzlies are in a lot of trouble.It is foreseeable that if they cannot solve the opponent's 5 small lineup, then it will become extremely difficult for them to surpass the Warriors and enter the finals for the third consecutive year.

Should the Grizzlies change their formation?This question is a difficult problem before their coaching staff.You know, in the past few seasons, they have hardly changed their formation.This is a team with the most stable starting lineup. Whether they are losing or winning, they have not changed their lineup, but they are basically the ones who have the last laugh.

So, coach Dave Jogel is under a lot of pressure right now.To put it bluntly, a change is a change. If the change does not get a good effect, as the coach, he must be responsible for it.But the lineup remains unchanged. Facing the opponent's 5-small lineup, their double insiders have suffered a lot on the defensive end.And it's hard for you to imagine that if you continue to face the opponent's lineup that is getting smaller and smaller in the future, what will the black and white bears do on the defensive end.

In the NBA, not every team is suitable for playing 5 small lineups. First of all, you must have top outside shooting ability like the Splash Brothers.And there must be top forward defenders like Iguodala and Green.In addition, the defense of the 5-small lineup must be online, and there are many people who can hold the ball, so that the opponent is almost impossible to defend.

5 The disadvantage of the small lineup's defensive end is that it has no height, and the frame protection and rebounds are weaknesses.But if you can't stand their offense, then they lose some points inside, and they will hit back from the outside.

Coach Dave Jogel is actually very clear that if he wants to change his formation, he can only do it inside.Conley's backcourt combination is fine, and there is no better starting backcourt than the two of them.Although Jeff Green's 3-pointers are unstable, his athletic ability, personal offense and body size are all very good. He is not inferior to the North Carolina Blackhawks at all, and the team has no better striker option than him.

So if you really want to change the formation and change a person, then you can only move the black and white bears.

The black and white bears have made great contributions to the Grizzlies over the years. They have one offense and one defense, and their offensive and defensive capabilities inside are extremely strong.However, in the past two seasons, with the decline of the Black Bears' inside offensive ability, coupled with the huge changes in the league style, they also faced the problem of more than half of the offensive rhythm and dragging the offensive space.On the defensive end, facing many teams playing one big and four small, they also face the problem of defending 3-pointers and switching.

Coach Dave Jogel actually thought about playing 1 and 4, but in the end he didn't mention it because of the prestige of the black and white bears in the team and the team's continuous winning.He also tried some changes in the second lineup, but in the starting lineup, he has been starting step by step with the black and white bears.

On May 5th, the Western Conference finals G28, the battle of Tianwangshan.

The FedEx Arena is naturally packed, and the importance of this game is self-evident.In the last game, the Warriors won the game with a small lineup of 5, which raised the attention of this game by several percentage points.

Since the NBA adopted the 7-match 4-win system, whether it is the home team or the visiting team, the team that wins the Tianwangshan battle has a high probability of advancing.

Both sides know the importance of this game, and no one wants to lose at this point in the game.

In this game, the Grizzlies, which had been rumored to change their lineup before, did not change in the end, and they still continued the previous starting lineup.The Warriors are a continuation of the 5 small lineups from the previous game.

The war is about to start.

After the start of the first quarter, the Grizzlies took the lead, and the black and white bears attacked the Warriors inside like crazy, and quickly took the lead.

But the Warriors didn't panic. They played steadily. On the offensive end, they kept moving the ball, running without the ball, blocking and cutting, chasing the black and white bears of the Grizzlies.

Relying on Curry's two difficult 3-pointers, the Warriors quickly caught up with the score.

The two sides entered a confrontation stage.

The Grizzlies' inside attack was a little slower and a mistake occurred. The Warriors immediately counterattacked and the score was quickly overtaken.

After being overtaken, the black and white bears were a little impatient, and the situation of 1 on 2 inside also appeared, and there were more passing mistakes.

The Grizzlies kept pausing, and the coaching staff tried to change the situation by pausing and adjusting.But all failed.

The Grizzlies fell behind, and Xie Kai forcibly took over the game, but their defense still couldn't limit the opponent.

When the Warriors opened the 3-pointers and played in transition, they were really unstoppable.

The Grizzlies collapsed in the last quarter, and finally lost to the opponent with a huge difference of 89:109, 20 points, and lost the battle of Tianwangshan.

No one expected that the high-profile battle of Tianwang Mountain would turn out like this.The Grizzlies almost lost even their underwear in this game.They lost by 20 points. Before that, they had lost in the playoffs in the past two years, but they had never lost that much.

The Grizzlies are on the brink of desperation, they are 2:3 behind, and in the next game, they will go to the home court of the Warriors, facing opponents at the right time and place, they have no way out.

The entire league wants to see the Grizzlies get wiped out, except for themselves.The league also doesn't want to see a dominant team. They expect more championship teams, more exciting games, and more unpredictable championships.
