According to the schedule, after the end of the regular season, the Kings have four days to rest. Ke Yan did not arrange high-intensity training, but before the training on the 23rd, he had a meeting to explain tactics to the players.

In the regular season, the Kings can safely and boldly "stab each other" with any opponent. In the playoffs, the team must pay attention to defense.The defense that Ke Yan formulated for the team is to quickly assist in the defense rotation after flanking Randolph, and to defend against Tony Allen beyond the free throw line.

Tony Allen is not the kind of pure offensive black hole. He is very good at using air cuts to enter the basket to "steal chickens".But Ke Yan would rather be stolen to death by Tony Allen than let Randolph use the Kings' restricted area as a back garden in the paint.

Including on the offensive end, Keyan's arrangement is also consciously targeting Randolph.He asked Harden and Lu Wei to speed up the offensive rhythm, not necessarily to form a fast break, but also to force the Grizzlies to return to defense faster, and at the same time increase the number of rounds.

There is no doubt about Randolph's personal offensive ability, but as a heavy player, his running ability to and from both sides of the court must be relatively weak. "Increasing the number of rounds + more double-teaming" will accelerate the physical consumption of the big black bear, which in turn will reduce his hit rate and increase his turnover rate.

Of course, advancing the offense more quickly and completing the offense will test the touch of the Kings players.Conversely, the Kings want to advance quickly, and the Grizzlies don't know how to press the rhythm in turn?On the court, soldiers have no shape, water has no shape, and anything can happen.

On April 4, the playoffs will start with two games.The No. 24 Spurs team in the West overturned at home, lost 102:112 to the Utah Jazz, and suffered a bad start!

In the second half of the regular season, Irving's performance fluctuated, which directly caused the Jazz to fall from sixth in the West to eighth in the West, and was almost caught up by the Lakers.But on the stage of the playoffs, "Uncle Drew" proved that his popularity was not in vain. Facing Danny Green's defense, Irving was making fake moves and all kinds of gorgeous micro operations. Danny Green couldn't find the north. He made 26 of 18 shots in a single game and scored 46 points from inside and outside shots, abruptly blowing up the Spurs' outside defense.

In big scenes, Irving's performance has never disappointed, and his movements are extremely gorgeous, and fans are inevitable.

The Jazz's "counterattack" was also passed on to the Kings players by Ke Yan as a case: The Jazz can even turn over the Spurs, a mere Grizzly, what is invincible?

In another game, the Raptors defeated the Nets 88:109 at home. The "garbage brothers" who performed well in the regular season teamed up to score 32 points, which was in stark contrast to Irving's explosion next door.

Some players, benefiting from the regular season's defensive standards, can perform better; there are also some players who are stronger and are not afraid of opponents' targeted defense.

On the 25th, the series between the Grizzlies and the Kings started at the FedEx Arena in Memphis.

Since Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue left the NBA one after another, the Rockets and the Lakers were blocked from the playoffs. Therefore, in the first round of the live broadcast plan, CCTV simply broadcast the entire series of the Kings. Only the Thunder and the Knicks Only the most popular teams also get the occasional broadcast.

"Our counterparts in the United States are more optimistic about the Grizzlies in the predictions of this round of the series. After all, the two teams played a sweeping game in the regular season. But at the same time, some people said that the Kings have Ke Yan. He is a A champion coach who can surprise fans in the playoffs. Director Zhang, what do you think of this round of the series?" Yoga asked.

"There is a big difference between the scale and rhythm of the regular season and the playoffs. Many stars will have ups and downs in the playoffs. Like we said, McGrady has never made it to the playoffs. In the second round of the game, Kobe won a total of five championships. In fact, looking at their performance in the regular season, there is not such a big gap. Maybe if you ask me to judge, the Kings definitely have a chance in the playoffs. The key They have to give full play to their strengths. Harden and Curry must play well on the outside. Including Tobias Harris, what effect can defense Randolph achieve, and whether the offensive end can use its own mobility Beat Randolph a few times, this is the key to the Kings' victory."

To sum up the words of Zhang's guidance, 1: blew a wave of Kobe; 2: . . . . . . .

Compared with the guidance of Zhang Hehe, the football commentator, the dry goods in the two people's stomachs are far behind.

Gasol won the jump ball and the game officially started.

Conley held the ball across half court and passed the ball to Wilson Chandler on the left. He stood at 70 degrees on the right and waited for the opportunity. The strength advantage forcibly pushed out of the position, and a sudden brake caused a foul by Middleton who was chasing the defense. When the balance was disturbed, he stabilized the center of gravity, dialed the ball out, and the ball hit the front of the basket and popped out.

Chandler clapped his hands regretfully. He shot this shot very well, and he was also very regretful that he failed to score 2+1.

Middleton's offense is strong and defense is weak, his lateral movement ability is poor, and his dynamic talent is touching. Hollins emphasized this point when preparing before the game, so Chandler also attacked very resolutely.

The Kings fell into position to attack, Lu Wei and Middleton were separated from the bottom corners on both sides, Koufus was at the free throw line, and Harris was directly at 45 degrees to the left.

Harden directly launched a pick-and-roll with Koufos. At the moment of the pick-and-roll, the Kings showed a 5-OUT position. Koufos' solid pick-and-roll successfully hung up Tony Allen, which affected the opponent's chasing rhythm. Seeing Gasol's defense take a step inward, he made a shot from the free throw line, which was a pity.

Gasol's defensive position is excellent, which limits Harden's breakthrough space to the greatest extent. At the same time, Tony Allen's pursuit is only one step slower. Harden's ball is a bit in a dilemma.

The Grizzlies continued to play positional battles, and Conley still passed the ball to Chandler. Chandler dribbled a step to the center to transfer the ball to Randolph on the left. At the same time, Gasol squeezed Harris to the basket. Cut down.

Randolph hit high and passed the ball over Koufos's head to Gasol Jr., who caught the ball and took advantage of the trend to push Harris away and scored with a one-handed dunk! 4 to 0.

The Kings attacked, Harden broke through with the ball after the pick-and-roll, and was still followed by Gasol's switch.Taking advantage of the speed advantage to forcefully squeeze into the inside line, he was tightly covered by Gasol Jr., and the ball passed to the outside line. Middleton was close to Chandler and couldn't make a comfortable shot. He dribbled two steps before looking for his teammates.

After a few passes, Harris singled out Randolph. Facing Randolph's space where he "prevented from breaking through and not defending the shot", Harris hesitated to play. The turnaround shot was interfered and the ball was missed.

Gasol Jr. got the rebound, and the Grizzlies fell into position again.This time, Gasol received the ball on the left side to support, and cooperated with Randolph to play Uchikawa. Randolph took the ball with his back and leaned on Koufos to the baseline and forcibly turned around and scored with a backhand. 6 to 0.

Whether it's Koufus vs. Randolph, or Harris vs. Gasol Jr., there is a big difference in size and tonnage.Moreover, Hollins predicted Keyan's operation and did not let Randolph play singles, but only let him play the role of "end point".

Looking at the entire league, only the combination of Duncan + Splitter can withstand the black and white duo; in the previous life, the Grizzlies beat "Aldridge + Lopez Jr." Jr. Jordan + Griffin", abused "Ibaka + Perkins", cleaned up "Dream Chasing Green + Bodog", and ruled all kinds of dissatisfaction.

If nothing else, the Kings will be able to pick Gobert next season.But don't say that Gobert in his rookie season is "French Zhou Qi". Even the 3rd DPOY in his peak period will probably be crushed by the black and white duo.

The Kings offense was still initiated by Harden, singled out Tony Allen with the ball, and made a step-back jumper. 6 to 2.

The black and white duo played an internal pass and cooperated internally. Randolph leaned his back against Koufos twice and turned around in the middle.

Koufus worked hard in the regular season to make use of it, but in the playoffs it was completely a loophole, and it was too late for fouls, and he was scored by his opponent again. 8 to 2.

The internal gap between the two sides is unimaginably large. CCTV is still saving face for the Kings. On the American side, Barkley and Kenny Smith are already discussing whether the gap between the Lakers and the Nets in 02 is large, or whether the Grizzlies and the Kings are today. The distance is farther.

The Kings' offense still relies on outside players' random shooting. Harden held the ball for 18 seconds and finally created a shooting opportunity for his teammates. Harris caught the ball and missed a three-pointer. Easily controlled the rebound.

Many people have guessed that the Grizzlies can't handle the inside line on the defensive end, but the offensive end is so chaotic and so reckless, many fans are wondering if this is the team brought by Ke Yan?

What the fans can't see is that it's not that the Kings' offense is chaotic, but that throughout the season, the Kings have always built an offensive system around the "two guns in the backcourt".However, the Grizzlies' "Conley + Tony Allen + Chandler" iron-chained perimeter defense strangled the connection between the ball holder and his teammates. In addition, Harris' offense and defense were abnormal on both ends, resulting in extreme extremes on the scene. passive!

The game lasted only 4 minutes, and the point difference had reached 12 points (16:4). Ke Yan directly called a timeout, and replaced Louis Williams, Harris and Koufos with Curry, Patterson and O'Neal. , At the same time, change the defensive strategy, and instead defend the "Syracuse defense".

The so-called "Syracuse zone defense" is different from the traditional 2-3 zone defense. The two players defending the bottom corner are higher than the general 23 zone defense. They need better mobility and better positioning. Seal both sides.Considering that in the Grizzlies team, Conley and Gasol Jr.'s passing ability are leaders in their respective positions, Ke Yan arranged for Koufos to retreat more, Middleton, and Patterson to receive more cards The position gives the Grizzlies more three-point opportunities from the outside.

Keyan is basically a pure gamble. The advantage of this tactic is that it can limit Randolph's personal offense, but the two corner positions will also be missed. At the same time, the defense at the free throw line will also become weak. Gasol Jr. can read the defensive loopholes here, pull to this position, and with his mid-range shooting ability, he can shoot the Kings alive.

Attacking the strong with the weak is itself a gamble!And when the Kings changed their defensive strategy, their defense achieved good results. Breaking the zone defense requires an excellent three-point shooting rate, which is not what the Grizzlies are good at; Hollins did not have the first time Seeing the defensive loopholes of the "Syracuse United Defense" at the free throw line, Conley and Gasol encountered a fierce pinch after the pick-and-roll, and the subsequent points could not reach the pain point of the Kings!

Relying on their own adjustments to the defensive strategy, the Kings completed a wave of 10:2 attacks, narrowing the point difference.

"This is the value of a champion coach. Even if the strength gap between the players of the two sides is so large, Ke Yan can still change the game situation through changes in the defensive structure!" Zhang Lili praised.

The speed of the Kings' counterattack was astonishingly fast, the point difference was reduced to 4 points, and the morale of the team was also raised!The official timeout returned, and the team continued to suppress the opponent.Curry used Patterson's off-ball screen to widen the distance with Conley, and after receiving Harden's pass, he directly "sniped" and made a hit!

It can be seen from the video playback that Curry glanced at the basket before catching the ball to determine the position of the basket, and then did not look at the basket during the entire process of catching the ball and quickly swinging his arms. After jumping Through the adjustment of the wrist, the ball is steadily sent to the basket, and the whole movement is not muddy at all! (18:17)

Ke Yan covered his head with his hands on the sidelines, with an "unbelievable" expression on his face.And Patterson also showed a "horrified" expression during the process of returning to defense!

Conley also wanted to play steadily, but the team missed consecutive offenses. Instead, the Kings were able to hit the "fairy ball", and it was Alexander!

Randolph's offense was blocked many times, and he was a little anxious. He directly pulled the ball to the corner to catch the ball, ignoring the encirclement formed by Middleton and Harden, and rushed to the basket with two people hanging in the face frame, finishing before Jermaine O'Neal's help defense cast!

Although the ball failed to hit, Randolph alone restrained the attention of the Kings' three defensive teams and broke the Kings' defensive formation.

Wilson Chandler went around the basket and completed the dunk!

This is completely relying on personal ability to break the game!Just like Curry's "sniping" just now, there is obviously no major problem in defense, but the star can solve the offense with his personal ability!

However, one of the hidden dangers of the "Syracuse United Defense" is that it is not easy to control rebounds!This is a common problem in zone defense. Strictly speaking, the team only has O'Neal as a rebounder.

Hawkins may also have been inspired by Chandler's dunk this time, and found a way to target the Kings' zone defense, which is to use the team's internal confrontational advantage to grab the first two in the frontcourt rebounds!

No matter how powerful Ke Yan is, the disadvantage of the inside line can only be covered up, not resolved!
