Chapter 455

第一轮系列赛，易建联场均砍下13.1分6.9篮板1.9助攻0.7抢断1.2盖帽，投篮命中率44.1%，三分球命中率30.9%，罚球命中率81.5%。

Played fairly well.

李磊则是场均29.2分8.5篮板4.2助攻2.6抢断0.8盖帽，投篮命中率51.4%，三分球命中率42.1%，罚球命中率91.1%。

Still dazzling.

But that doesn't matter!
Domestic fans are excited that finally there are Chinese players who can compete in the playoffs.

This sparked heated discussions among fans.

"UA played well in the first round, and should be able to get a lot of playing time in the second round. Needless to say, Shi, the playing time is guaranteed. I really hope that the two of them will play for a while, and even face each other head-on."

"This is unlikely! After all, Ah Lian is in the fourth position, and Shi Shi is in the third position. The two positions are different. It is difficult to face each other unless they supplement defense and assist in defense."

"I'm not greedy, as long as I can see Shi Shi and Ah Lian compete in full court, and Zhu Ba is also expected to play!"

……

Because of the eager attention of the fans, CCTV Sports Channel made a big attack and sent a team led by Zhang Weiping, including Su Qun, Yu Jia, Duan Ran and other team members to the United States to record the whole process of this China Derby series.

Both sides of the working group work at the same time, record with the team, and conduct interviews.

Yi Jianlian is still relatively shy, unable to let go of the camera:

"The Grizzlies are a very strong team. Li Lei, Gasol, Gay, Hill... are all very good players. But we will work hard to win this round of the series."

Compared with Yi Jianlian, Li Lei is much more aggressive.

"Since there's always going to be a team to win, why can't it be the Grizzlies?"

"I'm not here to socialize with the Hornets. My goal is to advance to the Western Conference Finals and send my opponent home for fishing."

Of course, this has something to do with the growth environment of the two people.

Yi Jianlian grew up in the country and is more modest.

Li Lei has lived in the United States for a long time and has a strong sense of competition.

In any case, Li Lei's words made the fans excited and looked forward to the next series.

G1 night.

Both sides are warming up.

A chance to pick up the ball, Li Lei and Paul met in midfield.

Immediately attracted the attention of the fans.

Paul looked up at Li Lei. Although his body was small, his momentum was not weak at all.

"Stone, you're right about one thing. There can only be one winner in a series, and the other side gets eliminated."

"However, I think the winner will be the New Orleans Hornets, not you."

Li Lei looked at Paul with a serious face, and thought to himself: This guy really has a lot of fighting spirit!
but……

"I hope your strength matches your determination!"

After leaving these words, Li Lei turned around and left. After returning to his home, he found Lowry and Tyronn Lue.

"Kyle, Tyron, you are going to be in trouble tonight."

Lowry and Lu looked at Paul on the opposite side, and nodded solemnly.

In any case, Paul almost got involved in the regular season MVP this season, which is not something they can compare.

Facing such an opponent, they are also under a lot of pressure.

At this moment, Li Lei said again: "But don't worry too much, you just need to pester Paul tonight, consume him desperately, and cause trouble for him. Leave the rest to me!"

Lowry breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, boss, Paul just played one year more in the NBA than me, whoever is afraid of him."

Lu also nodded: "I'm the best at stalking things."

……

Soon, the starting lineups of both sides will be announced.

Grizzlies:
Milicic, Gasol, Li Lei, Hill, Lowry.

Hornets:
Chandler, Yi Jianlian, Peja, Peterson, Paul.

Drip!

Game start.

The Grizzlies won the jump ball and the game officially began.

Zhang Weiping, the director of the broadcast booth, said very excitedly: "Friends of the audience, friends of the audience, this is the CCTV-5 sports channel, and the NBA playoffs is being broadcast live. The Hornets play the Grizzlies. In this game, the two Two Chinese players, Li Lei and Yi Jianlian, played for the two teams respectively, let us appreciate the game."

Su Qun nodded: "Whether the bees crucified the Grizzlies or the Grizzlies devoured the bees, let us wait and see. Fans can also vote, leave messages, and send text messages to..."

Get back on the court.

Lowry advanced to the frontcourt and looked for Li Lei immediately.

As soon as Li Lei got the ball, the Chinese fans became excited.

But the Hornets fans at the scene were nervous.

And Peterson immediately jumped up.

As the best perimeter gate of the Hornets, Peterson is naturally obliged to defend Li Lei.

However, Li Lei just feinted and passed the ball...

The Hornets were somewhat caught off guard.

Hill got the ball, and Peja rushed forward.

Hill made another feint, started it directly, and broke through the line of defense before Peja was caught off guard.

Yi Jianlian reacted quickly and defended Hill.

Hill immediately points to Gasol, and Gasol takes the ball straight to the basket.

Chandler switched on Gasol.

Gasol passed Milicic.

Chandler returned to the defense... I have to say that Chandler's physical fitness really exploded, and he threw himself at Milicic in an instant.

But no matter how fast a person is, he cannot go as fast as a ball.

Milicic immediately jumped up, dunking both hands, faster, and Chandler had no time to defend.

boom!
2: 0.

After the goal, the Grizzlies players high-fived each other.

Director Zhang Weiping thought for a while and said: "Teacher Xiao Su, did you find out? In this offensive round of the Grizzlies, all five players touched the ball, and they passed the ball in one go. Hey! Why does it feel different?"

Su Qun reacted: "Yes! In the past two years, the Grizzlies have almost relied on individual offense to score. I'm not used to it. It may also be a coincidence. Let's see."

Hornets coach Byron Scott looked at the court without saying a word.

This first round reminded Scott of a strong team.

Once Kings of Princeton: Sacramento Kings!

Those super teams that almost overthrew the OK combination.

"Illusion, it must be an illusion!"

Scott shook his head.

The Kings are well-known team basketball, while the Grizzlies are Li Lei's kingdom alone, there is no similarity.

In fact, Rick Carlisle felt the same way.

At that moment just now, he also saw the shadow of the Kings.

only……

In fact, Carlisle's tactic today is aimed at Peja's footsteps, making Li Lei and Hill constantly attack Peja.

Still rely on personal ability tactics.

It was just a coincidence that he actually played the shadow of team basketball.

Carlisle's heart moved, and he couldn't help thinking.

Do the Grizzlies have any hope of playing team basketball?

of course can.

It is even said that the configuration of the Grizzlies is too perfect.

Gasol can shoot, support and pass.

Hill is naturally an all-around fighter.

Li Lei is more versatile.

Lowry's organizational skills are not that good, but they are not bad, and his shooting ability is even better.

The last ring is Milicic.

In the current impression of fans, Milicic is a big man with strong defense and accurate three-pointers.

But in fact, even Li Lei admits that Milicic is omnipotent.

It's just that he was delayed for three years with the Pistons, and there was no need for the Grizzlies, so he only showed defensive and shooting abilities.

To sum up, five players who can shoot and pass, isn't this the foundation of Princeton?
Of course, the Grizzlies don't necessarily have to go the way of Princeton, but playing team basketball is no problem.

Carlisle was a little overjoyed.

The NBA plays superstar basketball, but the essence of basketball is team sports. Only by combining superstars and team ball can a truly invincible team be established.

Just like when Michael Jordan met Phil Jackson back then, Jordan restrained his desires and was obviously omnipotent, but he only did what the team needed him to do.

Just like the Heat two years ago, O'Neal, the laziest, helped Li Lei, a newcomer, cover and do the dirty work.

Just like Yao Ming and Iverson last year, they sacrificed for each other.

Like Kobe and Garnett this year, Kobe sacrificed possession time and Garnett sacrificed offensive possession.

There is also the old and immortal Spurs team. Duncan has never been greedy for the ball, sharing it with Parker and Ginobili.

……

The so-called super giants are both offensive and defensive, omnipotent.

But only when they learn to sacrifice and integrate into the team can they usher in victory.

But Carlisle was still a little worried.

The only problem is Li Lei.

Is the 23-year-old Li Lei willing to sacrifice?
As we all know, the Grizzlies are Li Lei's team.If Li Lei doesn't want to, it's useless for Carlisle to think too much.

If there was a falling out, it would be Carlisle who would go.

Forcibly suppressing this idea, Carlisle does not intend to say it now, otherwise it may affect the current situation of the team.

Everything will wait until the offseason.

Back on the pitch.

Hornets attack.

Paul holds the ball at the top of the arc, and Peja moves without the ball. This is the core tactic of the Hornets.

However, Li Lei stalked Peja and never gave him a chance.

The offensive end has not exerted force, and now Li Lei has infinite power in defense, as if he can't use it up.

Nearly 20 seconds passed, and Peja couldn't get rid of Li Lei.

Seeing that time was running out, Paul could only choose to fight by himself.

However, Lowry is also a stalker, using his strong upper body to take care of Paul from zero distance. Paul's mid-range emergency stop jumper hit the basket heavily.

Bang!

Milicic and Gasol are like two goalkeepers, guarding the basket, stopping Chandler and Yi Jianlian, and protecting the backcourt rebounds.

The Grizzlies attack.

The score is still 2:0, the Grizzlies lead.

It is worth mentioning that the Hornets retreated quickly and did not give the Grizzlies a chance to counterattack.

Lowry slowed down, mastered the rhythm, and led the team to play positions without rushing.

Peterson still followed Li Lei closely.

Regardless of Li Lei not attacking, as long as he stands there, the Hornets dare not ignore his existence.

Li Lei occasionally gets the ball and can make Hornets players and New Orleans fans nervous.

You must know that in the last round of the series, Lagabel was a player who entered the best defensive team, and still failed to prevent Li Lei from scoring an average of 29.2 points per game.

Compared with the famous defensive champion Lagabel, how dare Peterson relax?

In the end, the ball went to Hill.

Hill beat Peja.

Peja felt very helpless: I don't want to lose face?
But thinking about it, back to reality, he really couldn't keep up with the 36-year-old Hill.

Yi Jianlian was forced to help defend.

Hill still points to Gasol.

Chandler looked at Milicic, this time he did not dare to defend Gasol decisively.

That Gasol is not welcome.

I can't beat Garnett, I can't beat Stoudemire, I can't beat the air?
Gasol hits a solid mid-range jumper.

Swish!
hit!

4: 0.

Hornets attack.

They did not give up the established tactics because of the failure of the last round.

Paul is still holding the ball, and Peja runs without the ball.

And this time, the Hornets players gave Peja help.

Chandler came up to cover first.

But Li Lei had already glimpsed this scene from the corner of his eye, bypassed Chandler in advance, and continued to follow Peja closely.

Yi Jianlian came up to cover again.

Li Lei slipped past Yi Jianlian nimbly and entangled Peja tightly.

Zhang Weiping guided: "The stone is like a lock, completely locking Peja."

Su Qun: "It's hard to imagine that such a stone was not selected as the best defensive player. In terms of defensive ability, Stone is not inferior to Garnett at all."

But Peja is not a mortal, his golf quotient is very high.

Finally found the opportunity to pass through the crowded Gasol and Yi Jianlian.

Three o'clock on the line.

Li Lei and Peja are on both sides, Yi Jianlian and Gasol are squeezed in the middle.

Peja ran to one side.

Li Lei followed immediately.

Peja suddenly ran back and pulled to the other side.

The perfect off-ball move!
He is indeed the top master of off-ball movement in the NBA.

Paul immediately passed the ball, Peja caught the ball, pulled up and shot.

However, at this moment, Li Lei pounced on him again, stretching out his sky-defying long arms.

Peja was forced to lean back, and the difficulty of shooting increased infinitely.

Bang!

It didn't go in, it was another successful defense.

Peja's off-ball running position is already one of the best in the NBA, but Li Lei's defense is also one of the best in the NBA.

The most important thing is that Li Lei didn't use his strength on the offensive end, so he had endless strength on defense.

Gasol received the rebound and immediately found Lowry, who had rushed forward.

Lowry drove fast, rushed to the frontcourt and scored 2 points for a layup.

Bang, swish!

6: 0.

The Hornets fans were restless and slightly uneasy.

At the critical moment, Paul and Yi Jianlian made a pick-and-roll and switched to Gasol.

Paul's textbook-style small hits big, with a variety of rhythms, easily passed Gasol and went to the inside.

Milicic rushed forward to make up the defense.

Paul miraculously throws the ball behind his back, Chandler soars into the air, makes an alley-oop, and dunks with both hands.

boom!
6: 2.

"Roar!"

Chandler, who scored the goal, beat his chest and roared with excitement.

New Orleans fans also breathed a sigh of relief.

But soon, Hill attacked with the ball and continued to trouble Peja.

Milicic and Gasol acted as goalkeepers tacitly, blocking Chandler and Yi Jianlian.

Hill went straight in with the sword, jumped straight up, and dunked with a one-armed tomahawk.

boom!
8: 2.

In an instant, the Grizzlies bench exploded.

Li Lei, Lowry, Gasol, and Milicic on the field also came up and surrounded Hill to celebrate.

What the hell!

36 years old, are you sure?
Glass man, are you sure?
Ps:

grateful:

The Yang God is mighty. . . 1500 starting point coins reward.

Uncle can't afford to tip 100 starting coins.

thank!
