Chapter 360 Playing Like LBJ
Randolph only eats Perkins in the low post, and the two big men with a combined weight of nearly 150kg make the already not very spacious inside look a bit crowded.
Randolph turned around and hooked his hand—it popped out of the box!
Durant flew to accept the rebound and passed it to Westbrook to advance.
Westbrook sprinted in the backcourt, but the Grizzlies returned to defense fairly quickly, and did not give him a chance to lead the frontcourt.
Westbrook dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, broke through with the help of Perkins' pick-and-roll, forced to kill the basket, and shot against the White Bears-no!
Xie Kai accepted the rebound and gave it to Conley to advance.
Both teams were trying to attack the opponent's inside line at the beginning, but neither had any effect.After playing for more than a minute at the beginning, both sides made 1 of 2 shots and scored no points.
In the CCTV studio, Yu Jia explained: "The defense in the playoffs is really targeted. It is difficult for both sides to score inside!"
Su Qun said: "The Grizzlies' interior defense is one of the best in the league. After the introduction of Perkins, the Thunder also strengthened their interior defense. Everyone is hard to play. Perkins is slow, but he has strength and strength." Tonnage, Randolph needs to use his footwork to hit him."
Randolph missed two consecutive attacks in the low post. Xie Kai didn't pass it to him again, but made a gesture and played another tactic.
Xie Kai gave points to the high-ranking sister-in-law, and then ran around him with Conley without the ball.
Ibaka's defense moves fast and has a wide range, and Xiaojiasao has little chance to shoot in the high post.
The little sister-in-law gave the ball to Xie Kai in the bottom corner.
Xie Kai received the ball and broke through the bottom line, and the little sister-in-law who followed up with the ball in the middle, the latter pushed Ibaka and scored a layup!
The Grizzlies scored first!Thank you for the first assist!
"Good shot, Xie Kai used the threat of his breakthrough to create an opportunity for Gasol to attack the basket!" Yu Jia explained.
For the Thunder, Durant received the ball outside the 3-point line from the right wing.
When Durant entered the league in his early years, he used more screen shots because of his lack of strength.Now after playing in the league for 4 seasons, his confrontation ability has been greatly improved, and the emergency stop jump shot after changing direction in advance has gradually become one of his killer moves.
Tony Allen's defense against Durant is to fight against Durant and lock the bottom plate.
Durant breaks through with the ball, breaks through and makes an emergency stop jumper-no!
Xie Kai received the second rebound of the game and advanced with the ball.
"Durant's shot point is really high-what did Tony Allen do to make Durant seem a little off-balance when he shot?" Yu Jia said.
Su Qun explained: "Tony Allen is from the Celtics of the Celtics. We know that the players from the Celtics are very defensive. Don't think that Tony Allen is not tall, but his defensive aggression Very strong. He is physically strong and uses confrontation to make up for his lack of height, and Durant actually doesn't like this type of defense."
Xie Kai came over with the ball and gave it to Conley.
Conley used a screen to break through Tony Allen on the right wing.
Tony Allen forced Durant, forced a layup and was sent to the bottom line by Ibaka's big cap who was killed in a diagonal stab!
There was cheers at the scene, and Thunder fans sent screams and applause.
Ibaka and Durant high-fived, looking very excited.
In the basketball court, dunks and blocked shots have always been very obvious in improving the morale of the team.
With 9 seconds left in the offensive clock, the Grizzlies sent the baseline ball.
Xie Kai suddenly slipped from the top line to the bottom line. The little sister-in-law was tall and had good vision. She noticed his movement and passed the ball immediately.
Xie Kai catches the ball and makes an emergency stop at mid-range—hit!
The Grizzlies lead 4:0 in the opening game!
On the Thunder's side, Westbrook forced a sprint, pointing to Durant from the outside, who caught the ball and made a direct shot—yes!
4:2, the Thunder also scored.
Yu Jia said with emotion: "Durant's shooting point is really too high. Tony Allen has already reacted, but he just can't reach it."
Su Qun laughed and said: "Durant, his registered height is 206, but don't be fooled by him, his height is more than 208, I guess, 210. I have seen him in real life, he He is a little shorter than Ah Lian. And his arms are very long, reaching above his knees, just like Liu Bei."
On the Grizzlies side, Tony Allen was interfered with an air cut to the basket-missed!
Durant made another shot here!
The two sides draw!
"This is talent!" Yu Jia sighed.
"This is the problem of defensive strategy. It seems that the Grizzlies did not use the defensive method of flanking Durant before the game!" Su Qun said.
"Maybe everyone is testing, after all, the first game!"
Su Qun adjusted his glasses again: "This is also normal. The Grizzlies are away. Even if they lose in the first test, it's still acceptable."
The game continues.
Conley dribbles over and hands it to Randolph.
Randolph used his footsteps to forcefully cut in, turned over and made a jumper-here!
The Grizzlies led by 2 points.
Here Durant continues to pull out Tony Allen, but this time there is no more!
Xiaojiasao protected the backcourt rebound and handed it over to Xie Kai to advance.
Xie Kai pushed forward, and the frontcourt was assigned to Randolph to continue digging.
Randolph dug in with the ball and was forced to stop.
Xie Kai went to meet him, and the two handed each other.
Xie Kai went to the inside line to attract help defense, and then divided into high-ranking sisters-in-law.
The little sister-in-law made a high jumper shot——Yes!
The Grizzlies lead 8:4!Xie Kai's second assist!
There was a timeout on the sidelines, and it was called by the Thunder!
The scene was a bit noisy, and the Thunder fans in the Ford Center were somewhat disappointed with the home team.In their view, the Grizzlies should be a team that is properly killed by the home team.Although they are bad, but the Spurs are old and their GDP is injured, anyone can win against them, it's just that the Grizzlies are lucky.As for Xie Kai, he is awesome, can his talent be compared to the "Third Young Masters of Thunder"?Think too much, how much potential can a Chinese player have!
"The Grizzlies' offensive success rate in the first quarter is very high!" Yu Jia sighed.
Su Qun said: "Xie Kai played very well. He didn't insist on attacking, but found a good balance between attacking and passing!"
"Ms. Su, I think Xie Kai played like Magic Johnson today!" Yu Jia laughed.
Su Qun said: "I feel more like LeBron James."
After the timeout, Westbrook of the Thunder began to strengthen their personal offense, making sudden shots to stabilize the situation.
The main lineups of the two teams in the first quarter were evenly matched. In comparison, the Thunder played more singles, while the Grizzlies cooperated better.It's just that Westbrook and Durant's singles are really good, and neither Conley nor Tony Allen can limit them one-on-one.
The game quickly entered a confrontation between the two sides' rotations.For the Thunder, it was Harden who led Nick Collison and others to play; for the Grizzlies, Sean Battier led Darrell Arthur and others to play.
