The System of Basketball Becomes a God

Chapter 246 Slow-paced Basketball

The Grizzlies home arena has a lot of vacant seats. It may be that their playing style is really not beautiful, slow-paced, ground-breaking, and the score is low.

The current rhythm of the Lakers can be said to be a fast-paced team in the league. The style of play has undergone qualitative changes because of Walton's joining. Even Nick Young has a new look, and even staged a good halftime lore. If you know that Nick Young was the Lakers' leading scorer the season Kobe was injured, you wouldn't be surprised.

In recent seasons under Scott's coaching, the Lakers' record has become worse and worse. Last season, they only won 17 wins and missed the playoffs for three consecutive years.

When Walton came to the Lakers, the atmosphere in the Lakers team suddenly improved. Randall also played a huge role in the interior. Russell became an organizer, guiding the team's offense, and helped the Lakers' offense the most. , none other than rookie Li Qian.

In the Lakers team, Li Qian is the only one who can attack and defend well. He has excellent physical fitness, diverse offensive skills, and strong defensive attitude and ability.

The players on site were all ready. The Grizzlies held a starting ceremony at home and briefly introduced the Lakers' starting lineup.

"Remember today's defensive and offensive strategies, limit Conley's offense and organization, and resist Marc Gasol on the inside. I hope you will show your energy." Walton asked the starting players one minute before the start of the game. It is full of positions and attack methods.

"Let's enjoy this night!" The Grizzlies' home commentator deliberately lowered his voice at the kick-off, and said these words word by word with a thick heart.

Conley got the ball, Marc Gasol quickly took a position inside, and wanted to single Mozgov with his back, Russell stared closely at Conley who was organizing the offense.

Conley raised his hand suddenly, and the ball flew out, and the trajectory flew straight to Marc Gasol. It seemed that he really wanted to try how vulnerable the Lakers' weak inside line was.

But they never expected that Li Qian would directly block in front of Marc Gasol and catch Conley's "pass"!
Suddenly, all the Grizzlies players were dumbfounded. How could he abandon his defensive players and make such a dangerous judgment.

Conley quickly retreated on defense, trying to prevent the Lakers from pushing the rhythm. Once the rhythm was driven, it would be very passive for the Grizzlies.

Fortunately, the retreat was timely, and the Lakers couldn't go down quickly, so they could only organize a wave of 24-second offense.

Russell holds the ball, gestures from outside, and can communicate like this no matter what tactics he uses.

Mozgov asked for the ball inside, Russell threw the ball over, just when Mozgov was about to hook, Li Qian appeared open, and he passed the ball to the middle distance on the left without hesitation Li Qian.

Hit the shot!

The Lakers took the lead and scored the first points of the game.

The Grizzlies don't know much about the Lakers this season. They only know that this year the Lakers are fast-paced, have many turnovers, and rank among the top five in the league in scoring per game. They also have rising stars Li Qian and Ingram on the defensive end. Even the backup is the best in the league. that batch.

But the specific style of play, I really don't have any too much understanding, and the Grizzlies don't have the heart to understand how much this team, which only won 17 wins last season, can improve in an offseason.

Conley broke through from the right. After Randolph's pick-and-roll, the uniform speed was unaffected, allowing Marc Gasol to stay on the inside and attract the defense. Conley tried a mid-range shot and missed. Mozi grabbed the backcourt board.

Passed to Russell, Russell speeded up, trying to increase the speed, but the Grizzlies' defense was indeed strong, suppressing the rhythm of the Lakers, and they couldn't get up!

Oh, buy it!Russell threw the ball high, and Mozgov flew up with a powerful blast to the basket! !

The Grizzlies suddenly became a little dazed. Is the Lakers in front of them the same Lakers that everyone bullied them before?

The Grizzlies played firmly inside the Lakers, and Randolph hit a fadeaway shot.

4:2
Li Qian was a bit overwhelmed by the defense. I don't know when, every team began to focus on taking care of Li Qian, but he was still able to hand over an average of nearly 20 points per game.

Of course, his ability to get rid of is excellent, but it will consume a lot of physical strength, and now it is just the beginning, there is no need to waste physical strength for no reason, stay in the physical strength for the time when you need to stand up later.

The cooperation between Russell and Luhr Deng was very clever. After Luhr Deng passed Randall's cover, he went straight to the inside.

6:2
The Lakers got off to a hot start and surprised the audience with consecutive dunks.

Luer Deng high-fived his teammates one by one when he retreated from defense. Although for a long time, his state fluctuated too much and he could not find a rhythm that suited him, but now he is slowly getting better and can complete the things that were criticized, more or less. Help the team.

Conley came by himself, broke through, and was about to face Li Qian for a layup, and cheated for a foul. However, Li Qian was very smart, and the defensive details were in place. He even cut off Conley's ball, hugged the ball, and threw it to Mozgo who was closest to him. husband.

Russell holds the ball and shoots directly outside the three-point line with one step!
Swish!The ball was hollowed into the basket. The ball was played very beautifully. It was Russell's own rhythm. Less than 2 minutes into the game, the Lakers played a wave of 9-2. The Grizzlies did not rush to call a timeout. Observe again, and then Make a decision.

Of course the Grizzlies want to break such an embarrassing situation. In any case, the Grizzlies' overall strength should be stronger than the Los Angeles Lakers. However, they were beaten by the Lakers in the first 2 minutes and began to feel uncomfortable.

Chandler's small throw during the breakthrough process failed to hit. This situation is a bit embarrassing. If the Lakers score this offense, the Grizzlies must call a timeout, otherwise it is very likely to directly open the point difference. It's hard to deal with later.

The Grizzlies strengthened their defense against Russell on the outside, and the focus shifted from Li Qian to him. But just when you thought Li Qian had no desire to attack, he came out!
Russell passed the ball to Li Qian on the right, and repeatedly dribbled the ball under the crotch. A behind-the-back dribble passed the defender, and then quickly passed it. A perfect jump eluded Randolph who came to defend him. Put the ball in the basket!
11-2
The Grizzlies had to call a timeout to ease the slump on the field and break the scoring drought. Although the Grizzlies are deliberately lowering the tempo, the Lakers can still take it easy and respond freely. This may be what Walton brought Let it work.

During the timeout, the Grizzlies deployed a very good set of tactics to limit the Lakers' firepower and play to their strengths.
