Sun Ce made a layup with a pull-up. Yi Jianlian followed him in when Odom contracted and wanted to grab the rebound. Gasol, Granny, timely contracted to block Yi Jianlian. Odom defended Sun Ce and grabbed the defensive rebound.

The Lakers' defense is not for nothing. If you can win the championship in the year, defense is their foundation.

Just talking about defense this season, the Lakers are actually stronger overall than last season because their rotation lineup has become stronger.

There are three players who can defend against three positions on the outside, and they have good defense. There are also Artest, the former best defensive player who can defend against the second position to the fourth position.

Blake, Xiangnong Brown is also a good player in defense.

In addition, Odom can also defend the inside, and play with one of Gasol and Bynum, or simply play with three of them, and their defense is very strong.

After Odom took the rebound, he wanted to counterattack by himself. Sun Ce immediately stopped him. Yi Jianlian also followed Gasol, who had just stuck him. Gasol, who started to retreat after Sun Ce cut in and received the ball.

I have withdrawn from the three-point line.

When Sun Ce retreated to his three-point line, he saw Odom on the opposite side chewing his braces and pushing forward like a defender. The Lakers were very active at this time and did not give the Grizzlies a chance to switch defenses. Sun Ce

I felt my scalp tingling, but he thought Odom should be able to pass the ball?

If it is playing against Yi Jianlian, Odom does not have much motivation to break through strongly, and will serve as a top arc support player for the triangular offense and let his teammates cooperate.

But beat Sun Ce...

When Odom approached the three-point line, he began to accelerate and break through!

Sun Ce saw a 208 cm tall and 109 kg center forward with a ball-level control rushing towards him. He roughly understood Parker's feelings when he met him, Sun Ce was very active and wanted to stick it on...

...It was crushed by Odom!

Odom rushed into the inside without any obstacles, and Gasol Jr. was also difficult! He tried hard to step out, and then Odom turned around and avoided it with a dexterous back. Odom smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!

After Odom defended Sun Ce himself, he grabbed the defensive rebound, advanced by himself, and broke through and layup by himself one-stop counterattack!

10-9, the Lakers overtook the score!

These rounds were very lively, but only two points were scored!

In the next few rounds, the situation basically did not change much. Both teams' defenses were too strong. At 6 minutes and 49 seconds in the first quarter, the Grizzlies called the timeout and entered the official timeout.

The Grizzlies and the Lakers played an extremely stalemate in the first half.

Sun Ce returned to the bench and sat down. The team was about to make adjustments. Sun Ce looked at his 4 rebounds and 2 hats in the half quarter. What a weird start today.

It seems that he scored 13 points in less than seven minutes, which is pretty good, but Sun Ce did not score or assist in the past half quarter. After Randolph helped the team score 9 points at the beginning, their team also had the remaining three minutes.

He only got 4 points, but the opponent surpassed the score.

However, Sun Ce got two blocks!

Grand Gasol was once threatened by Sun Ce, and Barnes was once hated by Sun Ce.

Sun Ce played a bit hard in the defense these few minutes. After entering the official timeout, Coach Hollins was about to replace him with Conley, but Sun Ce did not object.

Although there is a star experience card, it is a question whether you can hold on in the first half if you continue to play. You still need to slow down and concentrate your remaining energy in the second quarter, and then use the star experience card in the second half.

On the other hand, the Zen master also felt that the game was very troublesome from the beginning. Kobe's singles were Randolph and the opponent, Odom was used as the tactical core, Kobe was used as the restraining point, and Gasol was the offensive end point.

I was curbed by the rookie on the opposite side!

If it weren't for Odom's one-stop counterattack after defending Sun Ce, it would be difficult for them to overtake the score.

Odom is the core of tactical skills and is easy to play against other teams. Odom's three-point shooting percentage this season is as high as 38%. The top arc can make the space very wide, plus Blake's shooting

The white point guard who is very accurate and daring to shoot, the Lakers can make the opportunity to attack the basket without the ball in and out of the three-second zone.

However, their unfavorable inside pick-and-roll style of creating a chance to catch and shoot, which happened to be Sun Ce's best defensive style. Barnes and Gasol received the inside catch and shoot, and Sun Ce interfered very well

.

However, the Zen master still looks calm on the surface. When Lakers players see their head coach so calm, they feel that nothing is scary. Isn’t it just that the opponent’s defense is a little better! Just do it! Who is the champion afraid of!

...

Both teams made personnel adjustments and replaced the best players on the outside.

The Grizzlies sent Conley, Morrow, Paul George, Yi Jianlian and Jordan Jr.

On the Lakers, this year's rotation lineup is not as bad as last season. Blake, Xiangnong Brown, Artest, Odom, and Bynum's lineups are on the court.

Although this is a good opportunity, the opponent Tony Allen and Bathir are resting, the Zen master still strictly controls Kobe's playing time. Although Kobe's physical strength is still very good, the Zen master's protection for the core players is very good. It should be replaced.

Just replace it.

Moreover, the Grizzlies have no advantage in the lineup of the two teams.

Odom + Bynum... In this inside combination, except for the Mavericks and Grizzlies, all teams thrown to the core inside combination are all core inside combinations.

Bynum really wants to get on the post, not to be the boss, but to grab the position of Grand Gasol. When he and Grand Gasol play together, they become lazy if anything goes unhappy.

Lazy.

But Gasol went there, good guy, Bynum was active in playing pick-and-roll without the ball.

In fact, the Lakers used him as the core inside, and in the first half of the 2007-08 season, he had already relied on him and Kobe and Odom's core combination to reach the top in the Western Conference. He averaged 28 minutes of playing time that season.

He blocked 2.1 shots and 1.7 assists, and had a very low turnover rate, with only 1.3 turnovers per game, which brought out his potential as "the next Olajuwon" back then, and he was just 20 years old at that time.

But he was not good at his knees, like glass. As soon as he reached the top in the Western Conference, he was injured. The Lakers were forced to ask for help from the Grizzlies and brought back Grand Gasol. If they were ready to play from the beginning, they would have been in the group.

The three towers will not drag until the middle of the season.

Bynum played against Jordan Jr. and Yi Jianlian inside combination, which was really like a little shark, and he was also a pick-and-roll ability. In 5 and a half minutes, he scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 1 block, helping the Lakers play a one-on-one goal.

Wave 12 to 8!

Bynum is sending a signal to management: to revive the core inside position of the little Shark!
