Yu Jia said: "According to the news before the game, the Grizzlies are likely to make changes in this game. Yang Yi, how do you think they might change?"
Yang Yi said: "I still say the same thing. The Grizzlies want to change their lineup based on defense, not offense. Their offense is actually not that big of a problem. The Warriors' small lineup defends their inside offense or outside offense. Neither can be said to be perfectly defended. They need to match the speed of the Warriors' small lineup, so once they change their lineup, they must move inside. If there are black and white bears, I personally think they will move Randolph. Comparing the two , Gasol is younger, has better defense, and has a first-hand coping ability, so he is more suitable as an inside guard."
The fans in the Oracle Center arena are very enthusiastic. This game is likely to give birth to the Western Conference champion. The team staff has prepared a series of materials to celebrate the birth of the Western Conference champion, just waiting for the end of the game.
The atmosphere at the scene was quite good, and there were also many Chinese in the Bay Area. They came to the scene to cheer for Xie Kai, so here, Xie Kai is not really an opponent except for his teammates.
——He is not fighting alone!
Soon, the starting lineups of both sides were announced.
The starting lineup of the Warriors at home is still the 5 small lineups that have already started two games: center - Draymond Green, power forward - Harrison Barnes, small forward - Andre Iguoda La, shooting guard - Klay Thompson, point guard - Stephen Curry.
After this lineup started, all five players had positive win-loss values, and their offensive and defensive efficiency exploded, completely suppressing the traditional lineup of the Grizzlies.If they can win this game, then this lineup will definitely be in the limelight this summer, even if they fail to win the championship (extremely unlikely).
The Grizzlies have changed in this game!This is the first time they've moved their starting lineup in recent years: center -- Marc Gasol, power forward -- Jeff Green, small forward -- Tony Allen, shooting guard -- Shay Kai, playmaker Linebacker -- Mike Conley.
Black Bear Randolph finally went to the bench. The situation announced before the game showed that his physical condition is normal, so this is an active change, not a passive change due to injury.
Yu Jia exclaimed: "Yang Yi, you guessed right, indeed Randolph was replaced."
Yang Yi is a little proud: "The Grizzlies won't change drastically. It's impossible to let both black and white bears go to the bench. They really play with the Warriors in a purely small lineup. They don't have an inside line like Chasing Dream Green, and they still can't give up on themselves. This is their advantage over their opponents."
The game is about to start soon. Xie Kai called on his teammates to get together, surround the city together, and shout together: "123, Memphis Grizzlies, we are the champions!"
Wearing a training uniform and a headband, the black bear continued to encourage his teammates. He said to the five starting teammates: "If you don't play well, be careful, I will kick your ass!"
Xie Kai and the other five nodded seriously.Everyone knows that there is no way out for him.However, they know that they are champions and they are very strong!
The DJ on the scene cheered for the Warriors again contagiously, and the atmosphere was very good, as if the Western Conference championship already belonged to Oakland and the Bay Area.
Cole likes to pretend, but he is not stupid. The champion is still the champion before he falls.Although he acted aggressively in an interview, he didn't dare to be careless in the real game.He is reminding his players to focus and not to underestimate their opponents.
When the game time is up, the starting players of both sides play the game.
Xie Kai clenched his fists and frowned slightly. Those who are familiar with him know that when this expression appears, he is going to fight for his life.
In the NCAA finals that year, he relied on his own beliefs to help the team win the championship in an upset.
Today, he already has two championships in hand, and he is heading for his third championship, and he is facing the risk of being eliminated at this moment.
The White Bear and Dreaming Green are preparing to jump the ball near the middle circle, and the game is about to start.
There are Green on both sides, so no matter who advances in the end, Green will definitely make it to the finals.
At the start of the jump ball, Bai Xiong took off vigorously and took advantage of his height to grab the highest point, but he used too much force, and the ball was directly hit by him out of the sideline...
The ball was so fast that it hit the billboard on the sidelines and almost hit the staff at the technical desk, making them break out in cold sweat.
The ball belongs to the Warriors.
Yu Jia laughed and said, "Little Gasol's palm really feels like a polar bear's palm!"
Yang Yi also laughed: "Although he didn't get the ball, Gasol has a lot of momentum and is in a very good mental state."
The Warriors throw the ball out of bounds and Curry dribbles over.
Green came up to pick and roll, and it was Green who defended Green, but it was Jeff Green.
The Grizzlies switched defenses, and the one standing in front of Curry became Jeff Green.
Chasing Dream Green's side was misplaced, and Curry passed the ball.
Chasing Dream Green charged Conley with the ball, but the latter cut the ball off with a knife!
Teacher Tony steals the ball and counterattacks, and the ball is given to Xie Kai.
Xie Kai charged with the ball, faced Iguodala, held the ball with his right hand, protected the ball with his left hand, turned around, cut to the basket, met Clay's defense, and gave it to the White Bears who followed up on the other side.
Bai Xiong chased him and threw one, but he hit the iron!
The North Carolina Blackhawks grabbed the rebound and handed it to Curry to advance.
Curry dribbled over, faced Conley, and gave it to Klay here.
Facing the opponent's off-ball screen, the Grizzlies immediately switched defenses, and standing in front of Clay became Mr. Tony.
Clay hit Mr. Tony with the ball, but missed the middle distance!
Jeff Green protected the backboard and handed it to Xie Kai to advance.
Yu Jia sighed: "After the Grizzlies changed, they also increased a lot of defensive changes, and the counterattack speed has also accelerated."
Yang Yi nodded and said: "When the Grizzlies were in the second lineup, they didn't play slowly. Because of the relationship between the black and white bears in their starting lineup, Conley and Xie Kai have been very restrained and try to play half court. Even Jeff Green, he is also very good at counter-attacking, and he is stronger than Dreaming Green and Harrison Barnes when he rushes."
Xie Kai came over with the ball and faced Iguodala.
Xie Kai lobbed the ball to the low-post White Bear, who held the ball and hit Green inward.
Green is really at the level of first defense, and he is a little depressed to push the white bear.
Here Barnes came to help defend, and the White Bear also made a mistake...
The Warriors counterattacked here, but the Grizzlies did a good job of returning to defense, and the frontcourt could not form a situation of playing more and playing less.
Both teams resorted to switching strategies at the beginning, forcing the opponent to go one-on-one.
The two sides played for nearly 2 minutes without scoring a point.The defensive intensity of both sides is very high, and the personal defensive ability is also outstanding. None of the players present has a defensive weakness.
