Chapter 360

During the timeout, the Clippers will return to the bench and stand in a circle around Van Gundy.

Van Gundy summed up the situation in the first 6 minutes of the game, emphasizing that the start was quite behind. The main reason was that the shooting feel was relatively poor, and several open shots failed to hit.

The reason why they were able to play a 12-2 attack wave was that the Grizzlies lacked patience in offense. They did not continue the multiple screens at the beginning of the game and looked for the best shot. Gasol's high-quality screens did not fully use.

Worrying about Gasol's physical exhaustion too quickly may be one of the Grizzlies' considerations, but the Clippers should be prepared for Gasol to become the axis of offense again, and limit the Grizzlies by quickly grabbing double-teams and returning to defense. The Bears pick and roll quickly.

After Van Gundy concluded, the whistle sounded for the end of the timeout, and the game continued.

The live announcer shouted 'Clippers come on', the audience shouted in unison, and the atmosphere of the scene was rekindled.

The referee blew the whistle and the Grizzlies kicked off the bottom line in the backcourt. Conley received it and slowly pushed forward.

Gasol stood in the left elbow and waited. Seeing Conley running across the center line, he immediately turned and moved to the left.

With such a cover routine, the Grizzlies have played several times at the beginning of the game, and Jordan hastily retreated to make room.At the same time, Gasol set up a wall to block Randolph, and Darrell Arthur took the opportunity to start and rush to the left 45 degrees from the outside.

Arthur has a certain mid-range shooting ability, but the speed of raising his hands with the ball is not fast, which was specifically mentioned in the Clippers' pre-match analysis.With this in mind, Randolph went straight from the inside around the screen, preempting Arthur's potential drive to the rim.

Who would have thought that Arthur did not catch the ball, nor did he rush to the left sideline with a false screen, but went up the fence to block Su Yang.

"Horizontal cover, horizontal cover..." Randolph hurriedly shouted at E Suyang, and quickly chased after him.

Su Yang immediately stepped forward to grab the rhythm, while Conley pulled the ball to the right and dropped his shoulders, and the two started at the same time.

Stab it!The sound of sneakers rubbing against the floor exploded, Su Yang bumped into Arthur, and the speed of catching up suddenly slowed down.

Conley quickly rushed to the top of the arc, and Saul went up to the wall at the same time, trying to switch defenses to intercept Randolph, but was firmly blocked.

Su Yang struggled to squeeze past Arthur, and was about to squeeze past Gasol again, but saw Conley snapping the ball together.

Gordon, who was still hesitating whether to make up the defense, jumped up and flew, stretching his right hand straight to try to interfere, but the trajectory of the basketball's gliding into the air was not affected in any way. He only heard a thud, and saw the basketball hollow into the net.

The Grizzlies caught up to 15 to 16, Conley's three-pointer came suddenly, and the Clippers seemed to have missed the target.

Su Yang turned around and walked towards the bottom line, passing by Randolph, and whispered, "Next time, remind me to be simpler."

There are only a few common starting moves for the Grizzlies. After Gasol finishes the screen from the free throw line, the person who initiates either moves to the sideline, or catches the ball or screens for Conley. He only needs to shout "hey" or other tone words can understand.

Randolph nodded and ran away, Su Yang raised his hand to catch the basketball, and the Clippers launched a counterattack.

The whole team settled into a V-shaped formation in the frontcourt. Su Yang stopped on the right wing, observed the defensive distribution for a moment, and casually hit the ball to the right elbow. Do off-ball screens.

At the same time, Tucker started from the left corner and rushed to the basket with the help of Randolph's downhill screen.

The left and right halves moved together, and the Grizzlies players were too busy to catch up and communicate in time.

Perhaps the impression of poor autonomous offensive ability is too deep. Jordan has become the Clippers player who is least valued by the Grizzlies. Even Gasol, who is responsible for directly defending him, is distracted to observe Su Yang and Ge Take your place.

Suddenly, Jordan swings to the left, sinking his shoulders and lowering his center of gravity, he steps down the ball and rushes towards the basket.

It may be due to the deviation of his conscious dribbling skills. He only takes one shot and immediately grabs the ball in his hand, forcing a three-step layup.

That step was so big that Gasol hurriedly twisted his hips to catch up, but was blocked by George who rushed to the basket.

Battier quickly stood with his legs together, and at the same time raised his hands and shouted, trying to slow down Jordan's impact speed.

But Jordan kicked off the ground with one foot and threw the ball to the short corner on the right, just where Su Yang rushed.

Su Yang stretched out his hand to catch the ball, immediately slowed down and pouted his big butt, blocked and chased Conley forcefully, and then lowered his head to pick the basket and hit the rebound.

boom!Gasol swooped to block the shot and slapped the backboard, but the basketball had already rebounded and jumped into the hoop.

The audience cheered and applauded, Gasol Jr. caught the basketball, quickly stepped back out of bounds, and grabbed the serve.

Conley caught the ball and rushed, the audience booed wildly when they saw this, Su Yang turned around and chased after him, and players from both teams followed suit.

In the blink of an eye, Conley rushed across the center line, instinctively looked up to scan the half-court position, and his speed suddenly slowed down.

Seeing this, Su Yang slammed his hands down to grab the basketball. His fingers slightly brushed the basketball, but he didn't bend down to grab it again.

Conley immediately pulled the ball and turned around, the basketball was exposed again, and Su Yang bent down decisively to press down.

boom!The two collided and fell to the ground.

The basketball flew out of Conley's hands, like a bowling ball being thrown, and rolled quickly towards the sideline.

Conley stood up hastily, and Su Yang crawled forward, but the basketball rolled out of the sideline first.

Beep!The referee blew his whistle to punish the violation, and gestured towards the Clippers' half court to signal the Clippers' possession of the ball at the center line.

Cheers sounded in the arena, and the big central screen played back the scene of Su Yang crawling and scrambling, and the volume of cheers increased sharply.

Gordon and others found Su Yang to give high-fives one after another, and Su Yang arranged a waist singles tactic by the way.

After the discussion, Jordan stood out of bounds, the three of Su Yang stood below the free throw line on the right, and Gordon stood in the left corner.

The referee whistled the ball, the five-second countdown started, and Tucker moved from the right bottom corner to the short corner.

Su Yang started immediately, got rid of Conley and rushed to the waist, then used Randolph to cover, and continued to rush to the three-point line.

Jordan immediately passed the ball, Su Yang received it, stopped abruptly, turned around and passed the ball to the right waist.

Randolph took off to catch the ball, landed and turned to face the basket, while Su Yang and Jordan both ran.

The one-on-one space appeared, and Gordon also used the double cover of Su Yang and Jordan to run out of the super-large open space.

How could the Grizzlies dare to double-team, Arthur hurriedly mustered his muscles and prepared to carry it hard, but Randolph coquettishly tried to move.

As an important part of the Grizzlies' meat grinder defensive system, Arthur was afraid of a flexible and fat man like Randolph. He instinctively followed the tentative steps to adjust the position of his feet and the center of gravity of his body. The center of gravity has become confused.

I saw Randolph suddenly stepping forward, jumping with the ball at random, and raising his hand was a mid-range shot.

bass!Hollow into the net, 20 to 15.

In the transition between offense and defense, Conley dribbled the ball to the left outside the 45-degree three-point line, bowed and patted and waited.

Battier started running from the left bottom corner, with the help of Gasol Jr.'s cover, he went straight to the left elbow.

The Grizzlies have such a starting style, and they also played in the opening game, but Battier is neither Gay nor Sam Young. His positioning in the Grizzlies is very clear, that is, defense and three-pointers, offense with the ball and The odds of snapping are too low.

Tucker chose to go around the screen without worry, and Battier also ran straight to the right.

The left half was immediately vacated, Conley raised his hand and lobbed the ball, and Gasol caught the ball with his back at the waist.After Conley passed the ball, he followed Battier's footsteps and ran to the right. The two teamed up to set up a wall at the 45-degree three-point line as a screen.

Mayo took the opportunity to get rid of Gordon, quickly rushed to the left 45 degrees, and reached out to pass the ball with Gasol.

Gordon struggled through the screen and regained his defensive position, but was blocked by Gasol's up screen.

Mayo made a big stride into the inside line, faced Jordan's defense change and intercepted, made an emergency stop and jumped out of his hand to make a shot.

when!The basketball hits the hoop, rebounds and flies to the right.

Arthur and Randolph took off to compete one after another, and the basketball was forced to fly to the right elbow, facing Battier's position.

Tucker bent his knees and squatted in an instant, and at the moment Battier grabbed the ball, he suddenly reached out to grab it.

Snapped!The basketball fell to the ground under force, and Battier picked it up by bending over, and took advantage of the momentum to lift it up and twist it.

But maybe he was a little flustered and didn't pay attention, and he hit Tucker in the face with an elbow, and the referee immediately whistled.

Battier was stunned on the spot, seeing the referee signal for a free throw, he rushed up to explain.

Su Yang also felt that the penalty was a bit serious, and Battier's action was obviously to get rid of Tucker's entanglement.

However, the rules are just like that, even blowing unintentionally, avoiding deliberate fouls is said to be unintentional mistakes.

"Which of you will execute the technical foul free throw?" The referee shouted in the direction of the Clippers coaching staff.

Van Gundy didn't answer, just shook his head at Su Yang, completely ignoring it.

Su Yang weighed in for a moment, and suggested that Tucker should execute the free throw, after all, it was the foul he won.

Tucker didn't refuse, walked directly to the free throw line and stood still, and easily hit a technical free throw.

21 to 15, according to the one free throw, one throw rule, the Clippers continued to kick off the bottom line of the backcourt.

Taking advantage of free throw time, the Grizzlies arranged for Sam Young to replace Battier.

There were cheers in the arena, and Su Yang slowly dribbled the ball forward, indicating that the team's V-shaped formation should be settled.

Conley quickly turned his head to take a look, then ran to the right wing of the frontcourt, and suddenly turned sideways to block the space on the right.

That action is clearly intended to prevent the ball from hitting the ground at the elbow, and at the same time induce the sideline to initiate a breakthrough.Su Yang knew that it was Conley's method to slow down the attacking rhythm, so he immediately pulled the ball and retreated, changing his left hand behind his right hand, and went straight to the top of the arc.

Jordan Jr. lifted the wall to block Conley at the same time, and Arthur rushed out to replace Gasol Jr. to switch defenses.

But although Arthur is better than Gasol in lateral movement, it is not enough for a defender like Su Yang.

Su Yang twisted his hips and went straight to the inside, like a strong wind blowing past Arthur without a trace.

In a hurry, Gasol could only give up chasing the air-cut Randolph and forcibly supplement the defense.Su Yang didn't stop on his feet, kicked off the ground, raised his hands and threw the ball to the basket, while Randolph jumped up, caught the ball with both hands and smashed it vigorously into the basket.

Boom!The basketball went into the net, 23 to 15.

The Clippers led by 8 points, almost dominating both offense and defense, making the Grizzlies seem unable to play.

Coach Hollins was pacing back and forth on the sidelines, and his anxiety was already a bit difficult to suppress.

In the transition between offense and defense on the court, Conley dribbled the ball and hit the left wing, bowing and waiting for a move.

Gasol Jr. walked to the free throw line, set up a wall to block Tucker, and Sam Young took the opportunity to start to the left.

Considering that Sam Young has [-]% of the mid-range two-pointers, Tucker didn't dare to go around the screen to intercept, but squeezed through the screen to catch up, but Sam Young didn't catch the ball, and didn't go up to the wall to block Su Yang, but Feinted a shot and rushed to the sideline.

Conley raised his hand at the same time and passed the ball to the free throw line. Gasol received it and turned to the right. Mayo just used Arthur to cover and lifted the right wing position from the short corner on the right, throwing off Ge, who was in charge of defense. Climb a few steps away.

Gasol immediately passed the ball, Mayo caught the ball and jumped up, facing Randolph and made a three-pointer.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 23 to 18.

Su Yang looked up at the big screen, browsed through the replays, and found that the Grizzlies' offensive tactics were a variant of Guy's rush shot in the opening game. The Grizzlies had the patience before their movement and conduction recovered, and the shots were more decisive.

That's where the Grizzlies are so tough, they're too tough to knock them down on the offensive.But the core is that Gasol's support is too strong, much better than his offense with the ball, and he can tear up the defensive formation just by moving.

Su Yang took the ball and pushed forward, thinking: "I wanted to limit Gasol before, but the Grizzlies temporarily gave up on him as the center of the offense. His playing time."

While thinking about it, the basketball passed the center line, and Su Yang saw Randolph reach out his hand on the right waist to signal.

Su Yang nodded in response. Randolph playing Arthur is an option with a high success rate and high efficiency. The difficulty is to allow Randolph to receive the ball in a suitable way at a position relatively close to the basket and have a certain amount of room for manipulation. .

The idea of ​​triangle tactics came up naturally, and Su Yang immediately signaled the situation to give space to the right side.

Gordon and the others followed suit, and after a few conduction runs, the basketball landed precisely in Randolph's hands.

After the formation of singles, Randolph took care of his own temptations, and practiced as usual between steps, quite relaxed.

And Arthur suddenly felt as if he was facing an enemy, his feet kept moving, and he waved his hands frequently, as if he was crazy.

That thought, suddenly there was a slap, and Arthur slapped the basketball away.

Randolph hurriedly bent down to pick it up, but his center of gravity was relatively high, and Arthur succeeded first.

The Grizzlies immediately launched a fast break, the Mayo LOGO position took the ball and rushed, and a heavy shoulder forcibly passed Gordon.

The other three Clippers retreated quickly, lined up along the free throw line tacitly, and guarded three important passes.

Who would have thought that Mayo rushed to the top of the frontcourt, ignoring Gordon to catch up closely, and made an emergency stop and combined with the ball to shoot a three-pointer.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 23 to 21.

The boos of the audience stopped abruptly, and the Clippers players were quite depressed. Van Gundy got up and asked for a timeout.

"SHIT, let him get a goal..." Gordon walked towards the sideline cursingly, Su Yang raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "When he is lucky, just like we enjoyed the benefits of a foul for nothing before, don't worry about it." .”

The two returned to the bench side by side, and temporarily rested off the court according to Van Gundy's request.

With 3 minutes and 39 seconds left in the first quarter, the Grizzlies also let Conley and Gasol rest.

The two teams entered the PK stage of the second team, and it was Haddadi who replaced Gasol Jr. on the field.

Su Yang watched and analyzed, and frequently mentioned Gasol's strengths, especially compared to Haddadi.

George suddenly turned his head and asked, "He is so powerful, how are we going to deal with him?"

Su Yang said with a smile: "I decided to adopt militarized singles and force the Grizzlies to change their defensive strategy for him..."

　Let me tell you, except for the finals plot, the rest of the playoffs will only be written in detail, so I will write in detail and try to write out most of a team's tactics and contingencies.
