NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 112 Easy Match Point
The first two losses made the Grizzlies understand one thing, they will never be the Suns' opponents if they fight for offense.

Can't enter the rhythm of the sun, otherwise they will lose.

The Suns in the playoffs are stronger than the Suns in the regular season. When they return to the first game at home, the Grizzlies hope that they can dominate.

How to dominate, in fact, we can learn from some games in the regular season. The Suns are not good at inside rebounding.

But now there is no choice, they must use the inside to suppress the sun.

Firmly play double inside, but also pay attention to Marion's shooting.

Fortunately, Marion's shooting is not particularly accurate at this point. In theory, they can defend inside.

If the recovery is faster, they can handle it. Anyway, it is the playoffs, and they can spare no effort.

At the beginning of the game, the Grizzlies played very strongly and desperately.

All the members hit the rebounds of the audience, and the inside line took the initiative to strengthen the physical confrontation, which was very imposing.

They did manage to score first at home, and Marion didn't seize the opportunity from the outside at the beginning.

Everything seems to be swaying towards the script of the Grizzlies. As long as the Suns react a little slower, the Grizzlies can establish enough advantages, and with their defense, they are likely to persist until the end to win a victory.

As for what will happen after this, they can't think so far.

For their series, the only way to talk about the future is to bet on this game and win their first victory.

However, the sun was not intimidated by them, Russell was very calm.

He loudly commanded his teammates to move, and then used a classic cooperation between him and Stoudemire to score points for the team.

No matter how hard the Grizzlies work, they can't stop the Suns from scoring. This kind of thing can be done without hard work.

Following that, Marion also hit a three-pointer under pressure.

As long as Marion hits this point, the Grizzlies' double inside tactics will be under pressure.

On the opposite side, Williams is not ready to single Russell today, and he is also helping the inside to open the situation.

On the defensive end, Williams is also working hard, but Russell didn't shoot much in the first two games, and his attention was more on Stoudemire.

A little delay might have prevented Stoudemire from getting off the ground in the first place.

When Williams did it again, Russell suddenly pulled up.

Williams couldn't even react because he didn't expect Russell to take a [-]-pointer.

After hitting a three-pointer, Russell clenched his fist hard. He has done this countless times in simulated battles.

It's just that it wasn't necessary before. The Grizzlies started with such a strong momentum, and he wouldn't hesitate if he needed to make a move.

The reason is that he is not the kind of organizer who doesn't shoot, but he can't shoot against the defense.

Now the Grizzlies ignore him on the defensive end, and he will tell the opponent, you can't do this.

Grizzlies coach Fratello smiled bitterly on the sidelines. He thought it would take some time for the Suns to counterattack. After all, this team has young players and the coach is not very experienced.

It can only be said that it is worthy of the league's first record in the regular season, and the Suns are really strong enough.

Then there is no other way, at this time there is only one word left, spell!

The first away game in the series is the easiest time for a strong team to come back, and the Grizzlies will win this game no matter what.

As the game progressed, the pressure on the Grizzlies grew.

Finally, they felt a bit overwhelmed, because Iguodala also hit a three-pointer.

Iguodala's first two games were mediocre, that is, he was more active defensively.

The Grizzlies hope that his performance will be like this. It is impossible for him to participate in the playoffs for the first time.

Iguodala's shooting was a bit shaky during the regular season, and it's not surprising that he's having an offensive upset in the playoffs.

However, the hopes of the Grizzlies fell through, and Iguodala hit two consecutive three-pointers to speak for himself.

Iguodala, the last player in the Suns' starting lineup, who may be a black hole on the offensive end, has also adapted to the rhythm of the playoffs.

The Grizzlies couldn't stand it anymore, but fortunately, it was time for the substitute players to perform.

Now the Grizzlies hope that their bench players can take advantage.

Without the eyes of the sky, the Grizzlies' rotation is indeed better than too strong.

The Grizzlies' bench performance in the first two games was not bad, and they can be expected back at home.

However, their hearts were soon broken, because the Suns' bench lineup also suppressed the Grizzlies in the third game.

The Suns' bench lineup is not very explosive, but they have played their own characteristics.

Horry is worth the fare, Martin is a surprise, and Varejao is still relatively stable.

It's just that there is a problem with the Grizzlies. They are a little too hard, and the hit rate cannot be guaranteed at all.

Their main lineup is led by Williams and Gasol, and now they go to rest, the Grizzlies are a little messed up.

They couldn't combine desperation and efficiency, but the Suns were as aggressive as ever.

The score gap began to appear and gradually widened.

At this time, Coach Fratello was not calm anymore. He had imagined that the Grizzlies would not be able to win the victory, but he did not expect that the Grizzlies would show signs of kneeling in the second quarter. He originally thought that the team would be desperate. You can also keep the suspense until the end.

Is it a tactical failure or the sun is getting stronger, the Grizzlies are not sure.

After the main force of the Grizzlies returned to the court, they did not stop the team's decline. The Suns led by double digits at halftime.

Confusion is the portrayal of the Grizzlies now. They really don't know how to stop their opponents.

In the locker room, their players and coaches were frowning.

They really have used all means, but the situation seems to be getting worse and worse, how could this be!
In the third quarter, the Grizzlies still wanted to fight, but after they played, they realized that they really couldn't fight.

In this case of the Suns, they really did their best across the board.

Russell is also very happy. In fact, in terms of statistics, he is not as good as before.

However, all the players on the field participated, and the team was stronger than the previous two games. It can be said that the entire Suns team has fully entered the playoff mode.

The Grizzlies became more and more entangled, and finally retreated from the rotation period.

Their home fans are not motivated to cheer, and they are full of expectations for the team to win the home game. They did not expect that they will play worse than when they played away.

In fact, the Grizzlies started really well, but the Suns performed better.

In this case, if they exert too much force, they won't gain anything, and of course they can only collapse.

Halfway through the final quarter, there was no suspense at all. In the last few minutes, both sides replaced their main players.

In the first away game of the playoff series, the Suns completely suppressed their opponents and won a big victory.

In the first round of the playoffs, the Suns easily won the match point.

The strength of the Suns has not been weakened by the playoffs.
