Nash's idea is good, and the Grizzlies' operations are fine.

However, without Sun Ce and Gasol Jr., Paul George is far from defending in series. The important point is Beverly, Jimmy Butler, Larry Sanders and these three teammates, Paul

George and the others have too little experience in cooperating together, which has led to the obvious exposure of their weaknesses in defense.

The combination of Paul, JR Smith, Leonard, Ci Shiping and Jamison sent by the Lakers was fast and able to play. He scored a 12-5 wave in 3 minutes, and the difference in scored suddenly reached 8 points.

As the score difference was about to be widened to double digits in minutes, coach Hollins quickly asked for a timeout to make adjustments.

The idea is full, but the reality is skinny.

Kobe went down to rest on the Lakers, and the strongest scorer was not there. The Lakers' offense did decline a little, but there were too many players at the top level on the Lakers. JR-Smith and Jamison came on the court and partnered with Paul.

With Leonard, who has excellent athletic ability, he is almost the best offensive state since joining the Lakers after losing weight. It is not something the Grizzlies can defend against!

In two years, Beverly and Jimmy Butler will grow up and have more time to develop a tacit understanding of defense. There will be no problem with defense, but this hasn't grown up yet.

The Lakers' lineup is not very good. Although Paul's defense is good, he is just a small point guard. He is strong in single defense and backup defense, and cannot defend in series;

Leonard is still young, with a b+ level defense, a quasi-first-class level. He may have a chance to break through to the top-class edge or even the first-class level after playing this season, but he is still far from the second defense at present. Originally, he only had 13-14 seasons in time and space.

The first time I was selected as a second defense;

After losing weight, Ci Shiping recovered his form on the offensive end, but his defense was not as good as in the past few years; jr-Smith and Jamison are both strong offense and weak defense... The key point is that the Grizzlies' offense is not good!

Beverly's push and ball protection are fine, and Paul George's pass-by-control is fine...

But Randolph played against Ci Shiping, and Paul or Jamison assisted the defense. He didn't make two shots and didn't get the offensive rebound. He still relied on Larry Sanders to face Paul George

When Leonard missed a single jump shot, he succeeded in a second offense. Beverly caught a three-pointer, otherwise he would not even get 5 points!

On the other hand, the Lakers played a fast break, with 6 attacks and 4 of 5 shots. In addition to Paul's own chasing three-pointer, Paul George slapped away, and 4 goals were scored in the other 5 attacks, causing two fouls.

All punishments!

Coach Hollins found it was too careless, and Irving defended well in the last game of the preseason, which led to them being too confident.

Sun Ce and Gasol Jr. are not here, and the most critical link is missing on the defensive end!

However, the game has only been played for more than a quarter and it is not even time to panic. Coach Hollins calmly rotates.

No more defense, the opponent's players who did not shoot well in the first quarter were replaced. JR Smith and Jamison both can shoot three-pointers, plus Leonard and Ci Shiping, who have strong impact,

Paul, the most pass-through superstar point guard in the league, re-dresses, and the Grizzlies are the ones that cost a lot of money.

Coach Hollins replaced the lineups of Nash, Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Yi Jianlian and Larry Sanders.

...

Sun Ce walked onto the court with his lower lips pursed, watched the opponent replace Ci Shiping and sent out a combination of Paul, JR Smith, Leonard, Josh Smith and Jamison.

If Sun Ce hadn't been afraid of this combination last year, Randolph would go to the inside to open the offensive end, and lock the opponent with one force when the defensive end was exerted. Without Kobe, the opponent's lineup would not be able to open the positional battle situation.

But now, they are the Grizzlies who can't start the offensive end!

So the Grizzlies sent a running and bomber lineup and could not make good use of Kobe's rest time to lay an advantage, but could only find ways to chase points.

After the timeout, the Grizzlies attacked and the frontcourt ball was played. Sun Ce sent the ball to Nash and cut from the left.

When Nash received the ball, Yi Jianlian had already brought Josh Smith out of the pick-and-roll. Nash did not borrow the pick-and-roll and directly hung on the middle. Sun Ce leaned against Leonard and stepped into the inside line and ran into Jamison.

While driving the opponent, he switched the ball from his right hand to his left hand to avoid the interference of Leonard who was chasing him very tightly, and made a layup with his left hand facing away from the basket.

Leonard was beaten by Sun Ce to reveal a black question mark.

Seeing Sun Ce's side layup with two steps, he didn't even get the ball away, and he scored from the left side of the three-second zone to the basket... Sun Ce could make such a move, so big, from three steps in two steps

There is no problem with stepping into the basket on the left side of the second zone. Leonard is not surprised, but how could Sun Ce be so strong in the confrontation?

It's not the same person as last year!

Leonard felt Sun Ce's incredible explosive power last season, but this season, Sun Ce's confrontation has also improved. You can rely on static confrontation to seize better opportunities to cut in or squeeze into the inside.

With Sun Ce ready to make a move, Nash passed the ball just right, Leonard, who was defending at the b+ level, and Jamison, who was defending at the c level, didn't have much chance to defend.

The difference between scores narrowed to 6 points and will not be expanded to 10 points immediately for the time being. Sun Ce and Nash quickly retreated after high-fives.

Leonard was stunned for a moment and immediately picked up the ball and sent it out. The Lakers took a fast break!

Playing fast is the biggest change the Lakers have made this season!

The Lakers' style of playing is mainly fast offense, and they try their best to defend the defensive end under the command of Mike Brown.

When Paul, Leonard and Josh Smith appeared together, the Lakers' defense was already very good. After a few rounds, Sun Ce was very glad. Fortunately, he appeared with Nash, with Klay Thompson as a pickup.

The ball pitcher has Yi Jianlian's impact and pick-and-roll, otherwise the opponent will suddenly replace Ci Shiping, who performed well on the offensive end, to strengthen the defense, and the Grizzlies may be sniped on the offensive end.

Nash instigated the team to run and shoot, and cooperated with Yi Jianlian to restrain Josh Highsmith. Sun Ce used as an offensive arrow to attack the opponent's relatively weak defense and the basket... Under the leadership of the experienced Nash, the Grizzlies

The Lakers continued to widen the gap.

But at the beginning of the second quarter, after Kobe came on the court, he scored two three-pointers in a row and one catch and cut into a dunk, scoring 8 points in a row, helping the Lakers to score 8-4, and Sun Ce ran back two consecutive rounds.

They all scored, but the gap actually widened from 6 points to 10 points!

, and the second minute and 21 seconds into the second quarter, the Grizzlies called a timeout again!
Chapter completed!
