The NBA's opening sling against Chris Paul

Chapter 30

Seeing the Grizzlies gain momentum again, George Karl reluctantly called a timeout.

"Don't fall into their trap easily, they just want to fight with you, consume your energy, and pinch your advantage." Carl yelled.

The players kept wiping their sweat. They haven't seen the old man so excited for a long time. Yes, after the start of this year's season, they have been going smoothly, and they even defeated the Eastern Conference's overlord Miami Heat just last week.

At this moment, it was the time when the spring breeze was in full bloom, and Memphis in the southwest region never took it seriously.In the West, they only have Kobe's Lakers and Paul's Clippers in their eyes, not even the Dallas Mavericks.

"Speed ​​up the pace of the pass, keep putting pressure on the top of the arc and the two bottom lines, Danilo, you go up, you have to open up space for them." Gallinari nodded vigorously at the coach, he didn't expect , At such a critical time, the coach still insisted on letting him play.

There is no way, Faried has no basket, and if he wants to win, he still needs a big man who can open up the space.The previous rounds have fully proved this point, and the reason why the Grizzlies dare to shrink the basket like this is because of this.

"The balls in these rounds are very classic and patient. The Grizzlies have refreshed people in just a few years. How did Coach Hollins do it." Van Gundy admired sincerely.

Especially in the era when small ball tactics are gradually gaining popularity, the fast-playing whirlwind of the Golden State Warriors and Denver Nuggets has won more attention from everyone, but Hollins has always insisted on slow-paced offensive and defensive transitions.

Don't play fast break easily, because it can reduce mistakes and prevent the opponent from counterattacking.

"The advantage of the home team lies in the three small forwards headed by Iguodala on the flanks. The Grizzlies avoided this very cleverly. They kept using the [-]th position to play the [-]th position in the sense of the opponent, but it wasted in vain. The trio running outside." Chris Webber's comments are very accurate and of high quality.

"I think Hollins should be a master of chess. He knows how to make use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. How do you say this in China? Four or two moves."

Not to mention, this kind of commentary lineup is no worse than the game, the two of them frequently uttered golden sentences, and the audience in front of the TV was amused.

It's just that the fans in the field are not very happy. The home team's advantage of nearly [-] points is almost gone in a blink of an eye. The morale of the opponent is getting stronger and stronger.

"I also watched their last game against the Los Angeles Clippers. There is a reason why the Grizzlies were able to bite the Clippers to the last moment and take away the game." Van Gundy paused intentionally.

"The head coach is one of them. In addition, the Huaxia No. 7 player in the No. [-] position turned out. I think this is beyond the surprise of Rivers. Of course, today's George Karl obviously didn't take it too seriously." matter." Weber took up the topic.

For the Grizzlies, Hollins also picked up Conley and Randolph again. The rookie Kennell completed his task very well and was praised by the coach.

"The Nuggets are very strong, I never deny this, but what I want to say is that if there is a team in this world that can beat you, it can only be you, go, kids!! "Hollins stretched out his right hand to cheer up the players...

"Wow, this is pretending, full marks, I have to give full marks, it can only be full marks, who cares about you, you can even feel the sparks in the eyes of your teammates." Li Ming strode towards Center of the field.

Lawson dribbled the ball quickly across the half, Conley stood in front of him, and Li Ming circled behind Afflalo, waiting to intercept Lawson's pass at any time.

Lawson took a look and hit the ground to Iguodala. Iguodala didn't stop the ball at all, and then passed back to Lawson who inserted the inside.

Lawson's breakthrough attracted Tony Allen's return defense, and Gallinari took advantage of the cover of his teammates to pull outside the three-point line.

"I guessed it, do you have any new ideas?" Li Ming predicted the pass, and the moment Gallinari received the ball, he slammed the ball, jumped up and called it to Conley who was closest to him.

Conley sprinted to the basket, and Lawson chased with all his might.

Three-on-three, the Nuggets returned to defense quickly, and there were no chances. Conley settled at the top of the arc, luckily, looking for opportunities to cut in.

George Karl's targeted substitutions increased the mobility on the field again, and the two sides once again fell into a melee state. It was difficult for anyone to break fast, but the Grizzlies lacked famous shooters like Gallinari on the outside.

Conley, the most accurate three-pointer, consumed too much energy because he had to sort out the team's offense and organize the defense.

"The opportunity has come." Li Mingjian ran towards Kangli with a smile.

"What is he going to do, is he really going to shoot from that position? No, the ball in the first half was just a coincidence."

Conley understood, and handed it to Li Ming. After several times of cooperation, he had a general understanding of Li Ming's shooting habits and shooting choices. At this time, he took the initiative to ask for it. situation.

Sure enough, Li Ming made a big change of direction, and Afflalo instinctively took two steps back, while Li Ming pulled the ball back, made a full take-off shot, and landed firmly in the bag.

Big three points, and then out of the rivers and lakes.

"Wow, Lee, he did it, Lee!!" Webb screamed.Audiences across the country could hear his heart-piercing cries.

"I said it, I said it, he can, he can." He looked at Van Gundy on the opposite side excitedly, as if waiting for his response.

"Speaking of your sister, you clearly said in the first half that such a goal had a lot of luck, and in the second half the physical strength of the Huaxia players will be a problem. Damn, it's a pity not to be an actor." Van Gundy was ten thousand Three thousand contempt shot out together, shooting Weber in the face.

"Who would have thought it would be like this. Lee made this ground-breaking three-pointer when all the defensive energy of the home team was focused on Zach Randolph who had just come on."

"There are always unexpected surprises hidden in this Huaxia kid. Yes, he is a selfless player, unselfishly passing the ball for his teammates, constantly covering for his teammates, just when everyone is about to forget him. Fatal blow."

Boos began to appear in the Pepsi Center. I don't know if it was for the home team, the visiting team, or both.

Gallinari sent the baseline ball, Iguodala came up to get the ball, slowly dribbled across the half court, his eyes were fixed on the running position of his teammates, and his mind was constantly thinking about tactics.

Gallinari stretched out his hand on the right side, Iguodala passed it quickly, and Gay quickly posted it. Yes, at this time, he dare not give him an open three-pointer.

Gallinari tried to get rid of it a few times, but it didn't seem to work well, so he had to pass back to Lawson on the outside again.

Lawson took the ball without raising his head and rushed in with all his strength. Tony Allen stood on the inside early and waited for him.

Seeing something bad, Lawson had to hit the ground and pass to the nearest Iguodala, but Randolph's big hand destroyed the ball and went out of bounds.

With 9 seconds left in the attack time, the Nuggets have the ball.

Iguodala sent the ball from the sideline, Lawson took the ball, circled a big circle against the defense and forced a three-pointer, and there was one.

"Wow, that's true too!! You can hardly see the frame, Allen's hand is almost stuck on his face." Li Ming was very puzzled, it seems that this group of little blacks can play in the NBA. Down there are two brushes.

Looking at George Karl's livid face, although the goal was scored, this method was not what he wanted. He always wanted to play team basketball, and the ball had to be passed to the weak side quickly.In his eyes, such a defensive gesture is extremely irresponsible.

Lawson may have sensed the coach's anger, and he didn't celebrate after scoring the goal. Sa Yazi ran towards his own half, stood still at the top of the arc, and didn't give the Grizzlies a chance to play a fast break.From this point alone, it is worthy of affirmation.
