New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 288 Confused by Grizzlies
Preventing the death of others and allowing Zhang Yi to score alone, the Grizzlies' tactics quickly paid off.Like the overall team that the Lakers pay so much attention to passing the ball and cooperating, suddenly biting and killing other people caused the rhythm to be chaotic.

The Grizzlies' defensive ability is already very strong, coupled with the formation of a regional advantage, before the Lakers realized that the ball was given to Zhang Yi after halftime, their offense kept making mistakes, and their forced shots were also the result of hitting iron.

The previous leading advantage also disappeared in an instant. If Zhang Yi hadn't turned on the singles mode, the Grizzlies could completely turn the score before the end of the first half.

"Hawley, the old fox, really has a way." Wacker said angrily with his shoulders on his shoulders. When he was playing, he suffered a lot from the Warriors' defense.At that time, Hawley was only a defensive coach. Who would have thought that after so many years, he has become a famous coach who has won the best coach twice.

Zhang Yi can shoot suddenly, and it is relatively easy to score against Op's one-on-one defense.In addition, in order to block other people, Opp's attention is also on assisting defense and blocking Zhang Yi's passing route.

No matter how good the opportunity is, Zhang Yi will be disturbed by the defenders around him at the moment of the shot. Everyone on the Grizzlies team is very motivated to defend.When it is confirmed that he will shoot by himself, he will immediately double-team again.

Before the end of the first half, because of interfering with the Lakers' offense, the Grizzlies made consecutive three-pointers, not only pulling the score back, but even leading by two points in the end.

The disgraced appearance of the Lakers being defended here can be regarded as meeting everyone's predictions before the game.No matter how strong Zhang Yi and Robert's offensive ability is, they are just two strong points, and the Grizzlies are all soldiers.That's the difference in lineup depth.

This Grizzlies team has also been called a strong team killer, such as the Golden State Warriors' offensive strong team, which is also deflated here, not to mention the Lakers whose offense is still far behind.

Hawley is confident that the final victory belongs to them.So when facing the camera, his expression is also very relaxed, and not only him, but the Grizzlies players are also talking and laughing, it seems that the first half is just a warm-up match, and the real good show has just begun.

"Wack, what should we do?" Zhang Yi did not sit down but did a simple warm-up, because he attacked frequently in the first half and his body could not rest immediately.

Everyone else also looked at the head coach, because the Grizzlies had made preparations in advance from defending Zhang Yi to attacking Zhang Yi.

Seeing everyone's eager eyes, Wacker just scratched his head, and then put the tactical board aside, "The Grizzlies' defense is just a zone defense, you don't have to worry."

"Everyone knows this, the key is how to solve it. Could it be that Zhang Yi played alone in the second half?" When Oscar said in a bad tone, Wacker glared at him, "Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Countless superstars have enjoyed this kind of treatment, have they flinched?"

Because the Grizzlies' defense is originally a rogue style of play, by restricting Zhang Yi's teammates, he can only do it alone without thinking.In addition, their defense speed can also interfere at the last moment.

This not only blocked the rest of the Lakers, but also effectively interfered with Zhang Yi's offense.Of course, this tactic cannot be said to be foolproof, because if Zhang Yi plays a superb performance, then this tactic is digging his own grave.

Of course Hawley also thought of this. The only solution is to get Zhang Yi down. Although this idea is dirty, there are many things in the history of the NBA to win at all costs.

The Grizzlies want to step on the No. [-] in the Western Conference and the mythical undefeated Lakers. The easiest and rude way is to get Zhang Yi into foul trouble, or directly hurt him...

His thoughts are also tacit in the Grizzlies locker room, because not only Oppo, but also the backup small forward can use some methods to redeem.

At the beginning of the second half, although Wacker said that Zhang Yi would continue to play singles, he still put him on the bench to rest.In the first half, he hit 18 goals in 10 shots and scored 25 points.Zhang Yi is not a brush, and his high scoring efficiency is not a matter of this game.

However, after being released by the Grizzlies, his shooting percentage did not improve. This also proves from the side that Zhang Yi is under a lot of psychological pressure now.He's so close to winning.If a child has always been a genius and is No. 1 in every exam, the blow to suddenly falling to No. 2 is huge.

Wacker also wanted Zhang Yi to adjust his mentality, and it didn't matter if he lost this game.Because a player must learn to lose, otherwise, even if he has an amazing record in the regular season, he will inevitably lose if he enters the playoffs or even the finals.If the mentality collapses at that time, it will be too much to lose.

Seeing that Zhang Yi was not sent to the field, Hawley rubbed the bridge of his nose and thought that the game was stable, because it was obvious that the Lakers did not intend to desperately want to win.

Wacker's protection of Zhang Yi was correct. Even if Holly didn't plan to do anything to this rookie, the Grizzly Bear villain on the field would be uncertain.

Without Zhang Yi's strong output, the Lakers' offense was all on Robert's body.Although he could support it, it was like putting Zhang Yi on defense against the other four.

The Grizzlies continued to do this, and Robert attacked casually with the ball, let alone a fast break, and he couldn't even play the usual tactics.No matter how steady his attack was, he was still a little confused when he was let go all of a sudden.

Zhang Yi sat on the bench and watched nervously, because it was the third time that Robert missed a shot in the first shot.Although both players can shoot and shoot, they can be called offensive kaleidoscopes.

But after all, Robert is not Zhang Yi, and the stability of the offense is still a lot worse.Although his three-pointers may be better than Zhang Yi, the Grizzlies' strategy is to never let go of three-pointers, and you can make mid-range shots and breakthroughs at will.

Losing the biggest threat, Robert was tired of attacking every ball, but he still couldn't get good results.When the Grizzlies' offense became smoother and smoother, they quickly pulled the score to double digits.

Zhang Yi stood up abruptly, then came behind Wacker and said, "Let me go!" "Is it 5 minutes?" Wacker replied unhurriedly.

"Don't you still care about time now? It doesn't matter if I don't take a break for a minute." Just after Zhang Yi finished speaking, Wacker suddenly turned around and looked at him with a terrifying smile, "I'm protecting you!"

"But if you lose like this, what's the point?" Zhang Yi answered decisively, because no matter what conspiracy the Grizzlies have, but as a professional basketball player, his only purpose of playing is to win!

"Okay, I'm afraid of you!" Wacker reluctantly signaled to the referee to change, "Don't mess around! This is just an ordinary regular season..." "I know!"
