Chapter 254 (1/2)
The Grizzlies were three points ahead of the Lakers in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter. The Lakers have been very passive since the first quarter when the Grizzlies overtook the game. Even if they go against the super, they can only maintain the leading position for a short time, and the scores of the two teams have been in a state of alternating lead.
The Lakers and Grizzlies changed a lot of moves to deal with each other today. For example, in the second quarter, the Lakers suddenly increased the number of three-point shots, Barnes and Steve Blake brushed a shot, and there was a three-point rain in staples.
In the third quarter, Hollins asked Pau Gasol to support the attack. As a result, link, guy and Spitz all benefited. The Spaniard showed his ability of coping incisively and vividly. Among them, the biggest beneficiary is undoubtedly Spitz, who scored 9 points in the third quarter and hit a three-point goal. Spitz's accurate shooting in the third quarter is the key for Grizzlies to regain their grip on the game.
Of course, he also made the Los Angeles fans remember his name.
By the end of the fourth quarter, the two sides had no secret weapons. As a result, the game entered the most intense melee link.
Bynum hits Pau Gasol in the low position, which shows that Bynum's action is very rough. Hollins clenched his fists on the side of the court. If it wasn't for staples, Bynum would have been fouled.
The two centers are full of gunpowder, and today they are completely on the bar. Bynum has been longing for revenge ever since he was blocked and dunked by Pau Gasol in the first quarter.
”The West's first center” title let Bynum be blown a little bit floating, today suddenly encountered a stubble, Bynum is really a little angry.
”Shaq” changed the hook, but Pau Gasol's judgment of defense was really accurate. He almost covered the hook, and Bynum could only barely make a move.
The basketball finally hit the box, but Bynum's ability of continuous bounce and the speed of the ball did exceed that of Pau Gasol. He throws and grabs, gets the offensive rebounds, and then takes off in the same place for a second attack!
But Pau Gasol didn't lose his position. He stood in the same place with his arms raised, interfering with Bynum's layup again. As a result, the basketball hit the box again!
This time, Pau Gasol didn't lose his rebounds. He was in front of Bynum's basketball team. Bynum failed!
”No, Andrew is not very efficient today. On top of that, he's made 14 shots and only hit five. The 35.7% shooting rate is really too low for a center. It's a 15 point miss Mitchell Thompson can't help but make complaints about Bynum's performance today.
At the beginning of the game, Pau Gasol was given a gap mend, but the more he played, the more things went wrong.
However, the data of Pau Gasol today is fantastic. 2 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 blocks. In these data, the score is the least!
Bynum's defense makes it difficult for Gasol, who is not so strong in attack, to break through. As a result, the Spanish tramps tried to compete with Bynum in other ways.
Like the covers, two of the three are dedicated to Bynum. For example, rebounds, there are 2 front court rebounds out of 10. For example, Pau Gasol's ability to assist in the low post today. When link and guy couldn't make room, it was Pau Gasol's brilliant pass that supported the Grizzlies' tactical operation.
Of course, in the third quarter, the internal cooperation between him and Spitz was also the key to the Lakers' failure to open the score.
Bynum and Pau Gasol, two centers, are torturing each other in the way they are good at today, which is actually the epitome of the game. The Lakers and the Grizzlies are at loggerheads, and neither of them has a substantial lead.
After Pau Gasol's hard defense, over there, Pau Gasol's pass was snatched by his brother. Pau Gasol has already let Spitz score too many points in the third quarter, so now he is extremely focused. As soon as mark passes the ball to him, Paul will act immediately.
Once again, both attacks were destroyed. Mike Brown called a pause. In the last two minutes, the Lakers had to get the score back!
”Bryant, I'll give you the last two minutes. I hope you can dominate the game, we have no better way Mike Brown's set-up was straightforward, giving the ball to the best man. Why wasn't that tactical?
Matt Barnes hasn't scored since the magic of the third quarter today, Bynum? He's shooting low enough. At the end of the day, you can't put treasure on Pau Gasol, who didn't attack much throughout the game.
So now Brown can only rely on Kobe. At the critical moment, the team with the center of attack is more sure than the team who has the chance to pitch! There is an offensive core, at least the attack will not be disordered.
After listening to Brown's arrangement, Kobe picked up his own tactical board and began to draw tactics for himself and arrange for his teammates... No way, Phil Jackson's players are like this. Who makes ”Zen master” always like to let players solve problems by themselves? Pausing time, Kobe himself picked up the tactical board to draw such things, has been a habit.
On the other hand, Hollins also knows that the Lakers are about to make the most of their counterattack. And the person who pushes the counterattack is bound to be Kobe. He wanted to replace guy with Tony Allen, let Allen defend Kobe, and free link on the offensive end.But guy played really well today, shooting close to 50%, and has scored 19 points. For comparison, link's score today is 15 points and 8 assists. It turns out that as long as guy doesn't wave, he still has the ability.
If guy is replaced, the Grizzlies will suddenly lack an efficient scoring point. As a result, Hollins is entangled.
Finally, he decided to let link continue to resist, ”as much as possible to interfere with his attack! The person you're going to face in the last two minutes will be a madman! But I hope you can be more crazy than him
”I'll try, coach.” Link nodded. Today, link's score is not high. One reason is that Kobe's defense is really good. The other is that most of the ball's rights are in Gasol's and guy's hands. Link's shooting right is assigned to Spitz. And the most important thing is that link has to be focused on the defensive side to stop Kobe. This more or less, will affect link in the offensive end of the input.
