Chapter 972 (1/2)
The Grizzlies have won nine games in a row since the playoffs.
Like the previous two seasons, they are unstoppable in the playoffs. It's not just that no team can defeat the Grizzlies, but there are no teams that can win even one victory over the Grizzlies.
This year, the Golden State Warriors had high expectations, but their first performance was really disappointing.
When people are discussing whether the warriors have the ability to fight Grizzlies. In the second game of the series, Steve Cole's lineup changed the whole NBA world!
In Game 2 of the Western Conference finals, Golden State Warriors continue to fight at the Federal Express stadium. For them, it's a game they have to win.
For other teams, it's the end of the world to be 3-0 behind.
But for Grizzlies, 0-2 is the end of the world!
Over the years, when the Grizzlies win the first two home games, the probability of winning the whole series is 100%!
In other words, the warriors have to win at the FedEx stadium. Otherwise, the whole series will be basically hopeless to win.
Therefore, today's series, World War II, is also considered to be the warrior's life and death war.
If they win, they can continue to fight the Grizzlies. And once they come back to Auckland with a 2-0 lag, there's no need for the warriors to continue.
Before today's game, people are still talking about how green and Bogut will contain link. But when the warriors started today, everyone was stunned.
Because there is no Bogut in their starting lineup!
”This... What kind of lineup is this? Steve Cole replaced Bogut with Sean Livingston! Right now, the warriors don't have a center on the court, no inside lines. Draymond green, 2.01 meters tall, went straight to position five! Coach Cole sent out a team of five
Mike brin widened his eyes and explained that it was the first time that he had seen such a short and small start in NBA games!
It's true that the Grizzlies have played in a small lineup with link as the center in the regular season, but that lineup actually only stayed on the court for a short time.
And warriors? They're starting directly with a small lineup!
There is no doubt that this exaggerated first match, let everyone be surprised.
Some people say Cole is crazy. He's giving himself up.
Some people think that this change may be the turning point for the warriors to win the series. Anyway, the warriors' specialty is three points. It's better to enlarge this specialty.
What about link? Looking at the five warriors in front of him, he frowned.
This year's playoffs to now, he ushered in the first real sense of the challenge!
After the game began, the Grizzlies got the second chance to attack by virtue of their height advantage, playing the warriors a 7-0 start.
At this time, everyone was laughing at Cole, thinking that he was driven crazy to do such extreme things.
But after pausing back, the warriors immediately gave full play to the advantages of their small lineup.
Their fast and mobile offense made the game very fast and Gasol had a hard time keeping up with the pace.
The Grizzlies' inner Guardian God, is equivalent to being completely overhead.
Curry and Thompson also changed a cold hand state, hit three points in a row, and soon surpassed the score.
On the defensive side, green, who is enough to top a heavy center, ”dwarf”, also played a key role.
Gasol repeatedly strong attack inside the line, but the effect is not good. Once green grabs the defensive rebound, green can dribble quickly through the half.
In this way, the pace of the game becomes very fast.
Gasol ran with green for a few rounds and was basically exhausted. The offensive side can't play, once the defensive end dislocation will be fatal, Gasol, the best defensive player's situation has become quite embarrassing.
Then, Joel replaced Whiteside, the result is not much better than Gasol in the presence.
Whiteside's attack is not as good as Gasol's, he relies on the brute strength to be able to take green equally.
