I really just want to be a role player Chapter 671: Crouching dragons and young phoenixes appear frequently. It’s such a trap. The Lakers touched the floor of the Western Conference finals in advance!
Chapter 671: Crouching dragons and young phoenixes appear frequently. It’s such a trap. The Lakers touched the floor of the Western Conference finals in advance!
"The game started in the fourth quarter and the Lakers have the ball!
It was up to Paul and Su Bei to switch positions and send Conley's defense in front of Su Bei.
Outside the 70-degree three-point line on the right, Su Bei caught the ball, jumped up, raised his hand and took a three-point jumper..."
At this time, Conley, who was 185 days old, realized the problem of Paul's 183 days loss.
That is, after being called out, he will not be able to defend himself!
I can only hope that Su Bei will be fine and not go in!
Swish——!
After entering, Su Bei raised his knife and made a three-pointer into the net.
“Well done!
Su Bei's steady three-pointers are back!
This three-pointer is extremely damaging!
The original score difference of 8 points turned back to 11 points as soon as the game started..."
In the commentary box, Van Gundy looked at it and shook his head. Once upon a time, as a defensive coach, what he was most afraid of was this kind of situation.
The opponent easily scored the basketball, but he tried his best to defend. When he couldn't defend, his offense was also like dystocia. After going through eighty-one difficulties, he finally put the basketball into the basket.
Now is that time!
Hollins also had a headache. The Lakers' offensive and defensive tactics were too clear.
Attack with talent!
All kinds of unreasonable actions.
The defense must block the Grizzlies' most threatening black and white bears and let their outside blacksmiths shoot.
They only know how to defend, and there is nothing they can do against the Lakers.
After all, the Lakers are already flat and the Grizzlies still can't score, what else do they want from him?
On the court, the Grizzlies attack.
Randolph was flanked by the North Jiangsu defense again. Artest replaced Gasol and also pounced to encircle him.
As long as whiteside Whiteside withstands Randolph's first impact and creates time for his teammates to help defend, Randolph will not be able to break through the Lakers' defense.
"There is no choice, one versus three, what?!
O'Neal came on, but it didn't work.
Randolph could only pass the ball out. Prince received the ball and made a three-pointer from the left corner. He raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper. Will it happen...
Bang-dang——!
still none!
Is Prince a rescuer sent by monkeys?
There are so many open spaces that you can't score a goal. Is this because you are practicing defense stupidly?
Bowen, who is said not to be offensive, is also good at shooting three-pointers from the corner. Prince has been in the league for ten years, but his offensive skills are still so rough..."
How many decades are there in life?
You can't even practice a simple open shot or a fixed area shot. How do you call this a professional player?
Of course, Prince is a talented person and he is not lonely either.
Tony Allen was even more amazing. When he got the opportunity to take a shot in an open position, he actually took a look, and then passed it out.
Don't even dare to take action!
With the presence of this pair of crouching dragons and phoenixes on the flanks, the Grizzlies' black and white bears and twin towers can't get into any offensive space, so they can only forcefully attack the man.
With the Lakers' defensive ability, it is impossible, absolutely impossible, to defend them all, but the Grizzlies can't even expect to have any efficiency at all.
In the 5th minute of the fourth quarter, as Prince was afraid to take a shot after receiving a three-pointer, he dribbled the ball through and failed to hit a layup. The Lakers grabbed the rebound and launched a defensive counterattack.
"Paul advanced quickly to the frontcourt!
The Grizzlies had two Bears behind them and couldn't keep up with the Lakers' counterattack speed.
Hey, Paul turned over Su Bei's card, this is a routine operation!
But what is Subei going to do?
After catching the ball, he was one step away from the three-point line, and he took off the ball. He raised his hand and hit a chasing three-pointer. Ji Bagan pulled out his hand.
Will this ball have..."
Swish——!
With the knife in his hand, Su Bei scored a three-point chase.
The point difference between the two sides also expanded to 15 points.
Su Bei, who made 3 of 4 three-pointers in the fourth quarter, was immediately replaced.
You still have to pay attention to the lessons learned from Rose Sophora Rose in Windy City.
Especially when you encounter a bunch of tough guys like the Grizzlies, you have to be even more careful.
The Grizzlies are just a turtle with no offensive threat. They are already meat on the board. Don't rush, just be steady.
At the 6th minute of the game, the Lakers had basically replaced their substitute lineup.
And this time, the Grizzlies still couldn't chase points.
The Lakers still implemented the defensive tactics of containing the Bears and let the Grizzlies' outside shooting group go.
As a result, clang, clang, clang, there was another sound of hammering, which reached my ears.
Conley went 0-for-3, Prince went 1-for-4, Tony Allen didn't dare to take 0-for-0 shots, and none of the replacement guards were reliable either.
Buzz——!
As the buzzer sounds, the red light lights up, and the game time is over.
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Lakers' main lineup, half sold and half given away, was still able to score 29 points, while the Grizzlies' offense had no bullets and only scored 18 points.
The score was 89 to 108. The Lakers defeated the Grizzlies with a 19-point advantage and took a 1-0 lead in the series.
Kobe made 10 of 20 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, and 7 of 8 free throws. He scored 28 points, 5 assists, and 6 rebounds. His performance was not bad.
Su Bei made 13 of 22 shots, 8 of 16 three-pointers, and scored 31 points, 4 assists, and 5 rebounds. His performance was very adequate. After all, Conley was often named, or against Jerry Bayless who was 191, all relying on the opponent's misalignment.
Well, in terms of efficiency, Northern Jiangsu's offense is really just okay.
The Lakers' "dying combination" scored 59 points together, while the Grizzlies' black and white bears combined for 38 points.
Gasol made 8 of 14 shots and scored 20 points. Randolph made 7 of 16 shots and scored 18 points. The performance was also average.
Just comparing the first and second pick scorers of each team, the Grizzlies lost by 21 points. This is the difference.
Looking at others, Conley made 5 of 15 shots, Prince made 4 of 11 shots, Tony Allen made 1 of 6...
With such a poor offensive level, is it still better than Der?
Nothing, he deserved the 19-point defeat.
…
After the game, I was interviewed.
The Lakers players kept a very low profile and did not say anything harsh like considering their next opponent.
Instead, it focuses on praising the Grizzlies' defense as the league's top and the players' tactical execution as excellent.
And this is what the Lakers lack.
As for offense, the Grizzlies are so solid.
The Lakers will only say that this is because the Staples Center arena is owned by the Lakers and the basket is owned by the Lakers.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Anyway, the Grizzlies are an elite team.
It must be at the championship level. They will never be willing to lose the entire series easily and go home to fish.
The Lakers' main focus is stability!
May 7, Staples Center Arena.
The Western Conference semifinals G2 game between the Lakers and Grizzlies begins.
From the first round, the Lakers copied the offensive and defensive tactics of the G1 game.
Faced with the siege of the penalty area, the Black and White Bears continued their regular output, scoring 39 points together, which is 1 point more than in the previous game.
The Grizzlies also have someone on the outside who can step up. If Conley isn't available, no one can.
Tonight, Conley made 11 of 22 shots, 2 of 7 three-pointers, and 2 of 3 free throws. He scored 26 points, 9 assists, and 10 rebounds, a near triple-double, showing his leadership qualities.
However, the Grizzlies' cub is still there.
Prince made 2 of 9 shots and did not dare to take any three-pointers.
Tony Allen is also very daring to shoot, very daring to shoot, 4 of 13, 0 of 1 from three-point range...
The Grizzlies missed a three-pointer.
The total score in the game was still less than 100 points. You only scored 99 points. You scored 10 points more than the previous game.
But it's still far from enough.
The Lakers scored 105 points, which was less than the previous game, but enough to kill the game.
With a 6-point advantage, the Lakers won two games in a row and took a 2-0 lead.
May 11, FedEx Arena.
The Grizzlies relied on their home court advantage and used strong defense to limit the Lakers' offensive scoring to 95 points.
Su Bei and Kobe could only score 47 points together.
However, the Lakers did not just have a tough combination. Paul stepped up and scored 24 points and 11 assists. It is a difficult problem for the Grizzlies to continue to compress the Lakers' total points.
To be honest, the Grizzlies' defense was successful, but their offense was still the same, scoring only 87 points.
In this game, the Black and White Bears could only score 28 points together.
Randolph made 4 of 12 shots and didn't even get a free throw.
In addition to the Wolong Chufeng Youzai, Prince made 1 of 6, Tony Allen made 4 of 10, and Conley did not play, he only made 3 of 9 shots and scored 11 points.
“Prince was so stupid, he made 4 of 11 in the first game, 2 of 9 in the second game, and 1 of 6 in the third game!
If this is the case, there is still room for improvement.
I don’t even know, what did the Grizzlies exchange for their team’s scoring leader Gay?
As long as Gay is still there, with the Grizzlies' defensive capabilities, they will definitely be able to compete with the Lakers. It's just a pity that the Grizzlies lost in decision-making..."
May 13, still at FedEx Arena.
The Grizzlies play for honor.
Plus the whistle goes to the Grizzlies.
The Lakers don't have to fight.
As a result, the Grizzlies had no friends in the first quarter. They started 18-29, 11 points behind, and chased points all the way, dragging the game into overtime. Only then did they win the game and save face.
The score was 97 to 103.
The Grizzlies scored over 100 points and coupled with their strong defense, it was indeed difficult to lose the game.
The G5 game will be played back at the Protopus Center Arena.
The Lakers defeated the Grizzlies in the first quarter, taking a 14-point lead with a score of 33-19.
In the second quarter, 29 to 23.
At the end of the first half, the score difference between the two sides widened to 20 points.
Throughout the game, Prince was still making shots, making 3 of 13 shots.
Although Randolph was very lethal, he made 8 of 17 shots, 12 of 14 free throws, and scored 28 points and 14 rebounds, showing his ability to kill.
However, Gasol was weak and made 5 of 13 shots. The two still scored 38 points together.
Coupled with Prince's gift and Conley becoming a member of Wolong Xifeng, he made 5 of 18 shots and 0 of 4 three-pointers...
If the Lakers can't be beaten inside or outside, what can the Grizzlies do to reverse the situation?
Buzz——!
As the buzzer sounds, the red light lights up, and the game time is over.
The score was 104 to 88. The Lakers easily defeated the Grizzlies with a 16-point advantage. They eliminated the Grizzlies with a big score of 4 to 1 and secured a spot in the Western Conference Finals in advance.
Su Bei and Kobe scored 58 points together, one with 33 points and the other with 25 points.
Well, Su Bei is the one with 25 points.
The question is, the Lakers called in their troops early again.
Su Bei doesn't care about statistics. Defeating the Grizzlies without any injuries is what the Lakers need.
