The NBA's opening sling against Chris Paul

Chapter 69

After continuous strangling inside, the two sides finally ended the third quarter at the referee's whistle. The score was fixed at 84 to 81. The Grizzlies in the away game led the Lakers by 3 points.

"How is it? Is it okay?" Hollins said, looking at Bayless who had just stopped the bleeding.

"It's okay, coach, I don't feel much anymore." A large medical sticker was pasted near his brow bone. This is a simple rescue item on the court. Simply put, it uses super glue to stop the bleeding first.

Waiting until the game is over to take it apart and stitch it back together might be a quick fix, but it hurts to think about it.

The endurance of these players in the NBA is much higher than that of ordinary people. Didn’t you see Kobe who played against the Suns in the playoffs?

The finger is dislocated, so let the team doctor break it back and continue working. It is the M country version of bone scraping and healing, or it can be said that it is the black version of Guan Er Er.

"Everyone must stay focused. The competition in the last quarter will definitely be very difficult. The opponent will not easily give up the victory. Every round will try to wear down your physical strength and patience."

Hollins cheered up his teammates loudly, "If you can't make a shot on the line at the first time, find a way to give the ball to Zach inside." His usual way is to go to Zach Kradoff in the first half of the fourth quarter .

When approaching 6 minutes, Randolph was replaced and Marc Gasol was added. The black and white bears did not spend much time on the court at the same time, because the opponent's offensive points were concentrated in the outside competition in the last quarter. If two big men played at the same time I have suffered too much.

Of course, there are no absolutes. In some rounds of games, the two bears will appear on the court at the same time for a long time, mainly depending on the scheduling of the opposing coach.

"You are a championship team, you have a lot of background, and the opponent is just a team that has been established for more than [-] years, and you don't even know what it's like to be in the division finals. Are you willing to lose to such a team?" Phil Jackson's lecture More like a statement of fact.

"I have had the honor of coaching some very good teams. Maybe it was really good at that time, but that is all in the past. I hope that in my future memories, the days of working with you will be more beautiful memories. .”

Full marks, full marks, this emotional speech, the players dare to do their best.

The DJ at the scene also played high-spirited dance music to cheer up the home team.

"Steve, you only have the last five minutes to rest." Zen Master turned to Steve Nash, who was lying on the floor, and he was putting his lower back on the ground to relieve the pain.

Nash didn't speak, but just raised his right hand in a gesture of victory. It seems that Zen Master is going to take his ace point guard with 7 minutes left.

Similarly, Hollins here also let Conley sit on the bench, and Li Ming and Bayless partnered in the backcourt.

Bayless was still deeply trusted even though he was injured, and he envied Kenyon Dooling, who was on the sidelines.

Bayless stopped the ball at the free-throw line, waiting for his teammate to set up, and Blake was responsible for marking him.

Chris Duhon on the side is doing his best to interfere with Pondexett who wants to come forward to meet him.

Tony Allen circled the baseline to shake off the firemen behind him and slowly moved to the upper line.

"Now, Bayless, shoot."

Under his cover, Bayless jumped high and made a three-pointer. Unfortunately, the arc was too flat and popped out of the ball frame. The rebound was grabbed by Jamison.

Jamison did not choose a long pass, because the Grizzlies' positioning was very scattered at this time. If he passed the ball rashly, he would be disturbed. He chose a more secure way of dribbling the ball himself in the second half.

The Zen master on the sidelines smiled approvingly at his judgment.

"However, having said that, some people say that there is a rift in the relationship between Phil Jackson and Bass. He is likely to leave before Christmas. I don't know if it is true." Drexler in the studio was mischievous stand up.

The relationship between the small owner of the Lakers and the head coach is no secret. Zen Master even wrote some details into his new book. Of course, it's not just about cooking together.

The vivid description of more bed and weft music whetted the appetite of the audience.

"If I remember correctly, Phil is in his eighties, right?" Van Gundy teased, "Is his physical strength not bad, won't he just use it?"

"Haha, do you think this is the key to the problem? Hey, Phil, we have Indian oil in the studio, to help you regain your glory, do you want some?" the glider yelled.

Just as they were teasing, Blake had already completed the fatal blow from the outside.

It was Antawn Jamison who passed the ball to him. He jumped up and passed the ball from the double-teaming of the two.

84 tied, relying on Blake's decisive three-pointer, the Lakers finally evened the score with difficulty.

The Grizzlies players didn't seem to be in a hurry to attack. They strictly followed the coach's requirements and then went online to complete the pick-and-roll, took away the defender, opened up space and gave the ball to Zach Randolph inside.

The black bear leaned on Dajia's body and flexibly dealt with him. He made a shot when the last second of attack time was almost exhausted.

With one more rebound, Randolph was happy like a child. Yes, he scored two points for the team in such a stalemate. The Lakers had more than his defense.

There will often be two or even three people double-teaming Randolph, so that Bayless on the outside, Li Ming will get an open three-pointer.

Perfect, very perfect.

Hollins got up to applaud his disciples, shouted loudly, and directed them to take their seats.

Kobe, who was sitting on the Lakers' bench, kept shaking his legs. Although he asked for the ball to play earlier, Zen Master ignored his request. He needed more rest. After all, he was no longer 18 years old. up.

Da Jia held the ball high and gestured to pass the ball, but failed to pass it several times. Randolph became impatient, and began to make more small movements in his hands.

"This idiot, how can he be so easily fooled." Li Ming hurried to the free throw line to help Randolph defend, blocking Dajia's passing angle.

In desperation, Dajia had no choice but to make a hasty shot. The ball spun a few times above the basket and fell down again. However, the best goal of the game appeared at this time.

Chris Duhon, who has been unknown for a long time, suddenly threw off the Grizzlies' defense and rushed inside. Among the crowd, he pressed the ball into the basket on Randolph's head.

"Wow, is he riding Zack?" Drexler kept tapping the table.
