Chapter 362
Amidst the cheers of MVP, Su Yang made a hit and added a penalty to help the Clippers lead 51-36.

The referee blew his whistle immediately, signaling the two teams to switch offense and defense, and the Grizzlies kicked off from the bottom line of the backcourt.

Conley ran over in a daze and stood there waiting, while Arthur picked up the basketball dumbly and retreated out of bounds.

Seeing this situation, the head coach Hollins clapped his hands and shouted: "Keep awake, this is the playoffs!"

Everyone on the Grizzlies bench was shocked. Shocked by the swear words from the head coach, they all straightened their backs and tried their best. Conley on the field also reacted, took a deep breath to calm down, and raised his hand to catch the ball Push forward.

Su Yang also rested with his hands on his hips, attacking with the ball for several consecutive rounds, exhausting his physical strength and energy.

In a blink of an eye, Conley dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, bowed and tapped for a moment, and with the help of Gasol's cover, he broke through on the right.

Randolph stepped up to grab the delay, then hurriedly turned back to guard Gasol, Su Yang took the opportunity to bypass the screen and chase Conley.

For a while, Conley couldn't pass the ball, and couldn't break through. Gay hurried out from the right corner, and the two played a hand-to-hand screen on the right wing.Gay took the ball and continued to move toward the top of the arc, while Gasol moved across the wall synchronously to block Tucker.

The quality of Gasol's screen was very high, and the space around the screen was occupied by Su Yang. Tucker had no time to catch up with Guy in a hurry.

Seeing this situation, Randolph took the initiative to switch defenses, and followed Gay to the top of the arc, forming a one-on-one situation.

The Grizzlies will move to the bottom line and both sides one after another, leaving a large space in the middle area soon.

"boo..." The audience booed and interfered, while the four of Su Yang shrank towards the paint area.

There were only 8 seconds left in the blink of an eye on the attack time. Gay switched his right hand to his left, started with heavy shoulders, and rushed to the paint.

The attacking posture was quite violent, but he didn't shake off Randolph, and he forced the ball together and raised his hand.

Snapped!Randolph reached out and slapped the basketball away, bent down and grabbed it, turned around and kicked it on the ground.

But when he took a step, Gay hugged him with both hands, and the referee whistled for an ordinary foul at the same time.

The Clippers got the ball in the backcourt, and the audience applauded and cheered. Gay found the referee and started to reason.

Su Yang waited next to him, and heard Gay emphasize that Randolph's thug had fouled first, hoping to get a fair penalty.

The referee responded with a foolish look, picked up the basketball and walked to the baseline, unwilling to say a word.

Guy's appearance is obviously in a hurry, and he has lost his normal IQ. I don't know, but I thought it was deliberately funny.

Grizzlies coach Hollins shook his head angrily, beckoning to the bench, and Mayo came in to replace Tony Allen.

At the transition of offense and defense, Su Yang took the ball and brought it across the center line, and once again signaled the five-out formation to settle down, playing another tactic.

Seeing his movement, Gordon raised from the right wing, pretending to catch the ball, but actually ran to the top of the arc to stretch the space.

Su Yang protected the ball sideways and reached the right wing. With the help of Randolph's cover, he dislocated and faced Gasol, directly lowering his center of gravity and hitting the bottom line.Conley hurriedly cut diagonally and rushed to the basket, preparing to intercept under the basket, while the other three Grizzlies shrank to the paint area at the same time.

For a while, Tucker, who was unattended, went straight to the left corner, and George blocked Guy's return route in advance.On the other side, Su Yang faced three people under the basket, kicked the ground and jumped out of bounds, avoiding all interference, raised his hand and threw the ball to the left corner.

Guy turned his head hastily, moved sideways around George, and rushed towards Tucker who was catching the ball like a hungry tiger.

That speed was fast, but Tucker jumped up and shot a three-pointer without hesitation, and the basketball was still hollow.

54 to 36, the Clippers lead approaching 20 points, the Staples Center burst into cheers.

The fact of the gap in hard power is in front of you, and the Grizzlies bench is hunched over again, like frost beating eggplant.

On the commentary, Mark Jackson said: "The Grizzlies seem to have made a decision. For the Clippers to target Gasol, only Gasol and Conley will be allowed to defend, and the others will shrink in advance to grab the rebound, or return to defense in time."

Frazier nodded: "I think that kind of defensive strategy is feasible. If it wasn't because of Paul George's early block just now, Rudy Gay was enough to return to defend PJ Tucker. I can only say that the Grizzlies still need to pay attention to more details, especially standing. bit selection."

On the court, Conley ran to the top of the arc with the ball, bowed and patted and waited.

Gay runs from left to right, runs along the free-throw line with a Gasol screen, and stretches the space.

After Gasol finished the screen, he took advantage of the situation and stepped up, setting up a human wall to block the space on Su Yang's right side.

Conley immediately moved the ball to the right, but was delayed by Randolph's grab at the start, and Su Yang took the opportunity to bypass the screen and intercept.Gasol quickly disassembled, turned and cut inside, and ran to the free throw line in two steps, but Randolph hurried back to block the passing route.

Back and forth, with 10 seconds left in the attack clock, Conley observed for a moment, raised his hand and threw the ball to the left wing.

Mayo received the ball, took advantage of the situation and bowed into a three-threat posture, and Gasol hurried up to block Gordon.

Gordon retreated subconsciously, preparing to go around the screen and chase towards the top of the arc on the right, but Mayo pulled a low sweep ahead of time, forced a breakthrough along the sideline, and did not slow down when facing Randolph's defense, and rushed to the left end a few times Stand, make an emergency stop and pull out.

when!The basketball hit the rim, rebounded and flew to the free throw line, where Su Yang just shrank.

Snapped!Su Yang leaped high to catch the basketball, landed on the ground, turned around and rushed forward, cheers erupted suddenly.

The Grizzlies followed up with all their strength, in four directions, front, back, left, and right, while the Clippers followed up along the sidelines on both sides.

At [-] seconds, Su Yang rushed to the right side of the free throw line in the frontcourt, saw the Grizzlies surrounded by four people, and hurriedly turned to the right to pass the ball.

boom!At the same time as the basketball was released, Su Yang also bumped into Darrell Arthur who was blocking his front right.

Just as he grinned his teeth and endured the pain, George caught the ball and jumped up, raising his hand to make a wide open three-pointer.

bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, 57 to 36.

Cheers broke out in the arena, the Clippers led by 21 points, and the Grizzlies felt a little bit slumped.

Hollins was shot on the large central screen, as if he wanted to capture his expression at this time, but Hollins was calm, neither asked for a timeout urgently, nor commanded the players angrily, but seemed to be suddenly relaxed.

Conley took the ball across the center line, and Gasol set up a wall at the top of the arc to screen early.

Seeming to feel that the old tactics are not working well, Conley shook his head slightly, and Gasol turned to the right to disassemble.

Conley immediately dribbled the ball to the left, and Arthur moved up to 45 degrees at the same time, making it clear that he wanted to set up a human wall to block Su Yang.

"Attention, attention!" George shouted loudly to remind Su Yang to cover, and at the same time stepped up to prepare for the delay.

Who would have thought that Conley suddenly pulled the ball to the right, Arthur turned around and rushed to the basket, and the two cooperated with false screens.Gasol went up to the top of the arc at the same time and set up a human wall to block Su Yang, but Randolph stepped up resolutely and delayed, without giving the slightest space.

Su Yang took the opportunity to catch up with Kangli again, and then rushed to the paint area, but was suddenly knocked away.

"Foul, foul!" Many spectators on the sidelines shouted together with the Clippers bench.

The referee didn't blow the whistle, Conley went straight to the basket, and Randolph was still at the free throw line. George, who was closest to him, was blocked by Arthur's back. Gordon and Tucker didn't have time to shrink and intercept. can watch.

boom!The basketball rebounded into the net, and Conley broke the scoring drought for the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies bench stood and applauded, Griffin was the most excited, and then frowning.

Such a situation was displayed on the central large screen, and the audience laughed loudly.

In the commentary booth, Breen asked: "Why didn't the Grizzlies replace Arthur with Griffin? They are in urgent need of chasing points now. Even if they can't complete difficult offenses, they can at least increase the threat of empty cuts to the basket. Is there any special reason?"

Mark Jackson shook his head: "There is no particular reason. The Grizzlies wanted to focus on the outside offense at this stage. It was difficult for Griffin to get the ball in the game. It's just that the plan is not implemented as they hoped, and Arthur's shooting is okay."

Frazier continued: "I guess Hollins wants to find a strategy to break the Clippers' defense. Now he must test the lineup and play style. After all, this is the Staples Center. It is too difficult to win the victory. It’s better to gain more experience.”

On the court, the Clippers made a three-point line, and Su Yang crossed the free throw line and ran to the right 45 degrees to get the ball again.

The right half was vacated immediately, and Randolph went up the wall to block Conley, and Gasol came out to delay.

Su Yang pulls the ball and walks to the sideline, suddenly sinks his shoulders on the right wing and lowers his center of gravity, and once again leans close to force Gasol.

The other three Grizzlies retreated to the paint at the same time, and Gay deliberately turned his back on the card owner George to prepare in advance.

Su Yang rushed to the basket in a blink of an eye, saw the three of them forming a siege, and immediately raised his hand and threw the ball to the left corner.

It's a pity that the same tactic was played once before, and Arthur noticed it. He slapped the racket and flew it out of bounds.

The referee whistled and whistled for a violation, and gave the Clippers the right to the bottom line of the frontcourt, and the attack time was reset to 14 seconds.

Taking advantage of the referee's arrangement, Su Yang pulled his teammates to formulate tactics, and determined the plan in a few words.

In a blink of an eye, the referee blew his whistle to indicate the kick-off, and Su Yang raised from the right corner with the help of Randolph's cover.

George reached out to give the ball, strode into the field, went straight to the top of the arc, and made an off-ball screen with Gordon.

The defensive pressure facing the right waist dropped sharply, Su Yang bent down and hit the ground to pass the ball, Randolph turned to face the basket.

Without any temptation, Randolph directly crossed the stride to start, and just rushed into the paint next to Gasol.

But at the same time, Gay shrunk from the free throw line to encircle, Arthur moved laterally from the left waist to intercept, directly causing Randolph to turn forward and have no room to play the ball, and turn back to have no room to make a step. Facing a taller Gasol.

Seeing that the deadlock was about to be formed, Randolph turned forward and raised his hand, Gasol and Arthur took off at the same time.The audience's eyes widened for a moment, with worried expressions on their faces, but Randolph did not take off, but threw the ball to the left wing.

Su Yang just used the cover to run to the left wing, reached out to catch the ball, turned around, and then scored the free throw line.

Gay hurried back to the defense, but Tucker caught the ball and jumped up on one foot, throwing a drop shot smartly.

In the commentary, Mark Jackson clasped his hands together: "The Grizzlies want to reverse and win, they can only pray for a miracle. They are doing well enough, but the Clippers are much better than them. I suggest that they calm down, believe in the process, and continue to work hard. "

Frazier chuckled: "The Clippers probably didn't want to waste too much energy in the first round, so they adopted extreme play at the finals level in the first game. The Grizzlies were completely unprepared. This is what they paid for their youth. cost."

In an offensive and defensive transition, Conley dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and moved to the right with the help of Gasol's cover.

As usual, the Clippers delayed and added a round screen to intercept, and Conley and Gay made a hand-to-hand screen, but after a lot of tossing, the offensive time was wasted to only 9 seconds left, and still failed to create a wide open. In the end, Conley returned to the top of the arc and misplaced Hit the taco.

Tucker was also very aggressive in defending and defending. Conley tried a few times and found that he couldn't break through, so he stood still and fell back.

The basketball clanged like iron, George grabbed the rebound, Su Yang stepped forward to take it, and the Clippers launched a counterattack.

With one high and four lows in the frontcourt again, Su Yang took advantage of the cover to enter the paint area, took off and hit the board with double teams.

Gay took the ball from the waist on the right side of the frontcourt and pretended to hit back with force, but in fact it crossed Mayo who was cutting and attacking the basket.

The basketball hit the backboard with a bang, and the rebound fell into George's hands. Su Yang caught the ball from the three-point line and turned around and rushed.

The Grizzlies retreated very quickly, and it was a four-on-three situation in the frontcourt. Su Yang stopped suddenly and passed the ball to the right sideline, but it was like a repeated play.

There were boos everywhere in the arena, and Su Yang didn't seek an explanation, and accepted the existence of the balance whistle to guarantee the acceptance rate.

The two teams switched offense and defense, and there was more than a minute left before the end of the half-time game.

The Grizzlies kicked off from the sideline of the backcourt, and Conley slowly took it to the top of the arc, patted on the spot and waited for a move.

Gay moves from left to right with Gasol and Arthur covering, and then uses Gasol's second screen to move from right to left.
