Build a Dream Dynasty

Since taking over the Grizzlies last season, Hollins has injected his own tactical soul into this team, that is, army-like discipline and tough defense. After the All-Star Game last season, the Grizzlies had a record of 21 wins and 15 losses when they almost lost hope of the playoffs, improving their performance to the best level since Gasol left. But today, in the face of the flexible tactics of the Nets, the Grizzlies gradually became "weak" and not strong, feeling that their attacks were hitting a ball of bats.

Anderson is a power forward, and his offensive range is firmly nailed beyond the three-point line. Randolph should follow up and go out. His defensive awareness and foot movement are not enough to take on the heavy responsibility of helping Gasol stabilize the penalty area. The Nets took this into consideration. Bledsoe and George frequently used pick-and-rolls or air cuts to hit the basket, and Lopez's post-up singles were also a test for Gasol. Don't follow the defense. Anderson's Three points can really be scored. On the offensive end, although Randolph can also use his tough physical confrontation and comprehensive offensive methods to educate Anderson, so as not to let the Nets open the point difference, the initiative on the court is firmly controlled by the Nets. occupy. For a team that has always relied on defense as its foundation, being unable to defend is far more uncomfortable than being unable to attack.

"Di~!" With the whistle of the referee, with four minutes left in the first half, Gasol Jr. fouled George with a shot in the reasonable collision zone, and was whistled for the third foul of the game , the distraught Hollins couldn't bear his emotions, and complained to the referee anxiously.

"Di~!" The assistant coach didn't stop him, and the referee whistled a technical foul to Hollins. This time, the Nets got three free throws.

"Shua~" The free throw for the technical foul was executed by Korver, and George also successfully hit the free throw opportunity created by himself, and the point difference was stretched to 13 points.

Seeing that the point difference was gradually opened up by the Nets, Hollins finally couldn't sit still. He replaced Gasol, who had committed three fouls, with Cunningham, and at the same time replaced him with OJ Mayo on the offensive end. The mediocre Tony Allen.

It's not that Tony Allen can't play any role on the offensive end. In fact, Tony Allen's off-ball running and air cutting are still of a certain level, but these need to establish a certain tacit understanding with his teammates, and this Just joined the team this season, this kind of tacit understanding has not yet been formed.

After OJ Mayo came on stage, the effect was immediate. The wing formed by him and Gay has outstanding three-threat skills on the offensive end. In their rookie season, the two also let Grizzlies fans see their own Gemini. But it's a pity that the two lacked some physical talent after all, and encountered turmoil in the management team. In the end, the Grizzlies overturned the team building plan centered around the two.

Stevens expected Mayo's appearance to improve the Grizzlies' offense, but it was beyond everyone's expectations that Cunningham, an unknown insider substitute, disrupted the Nets' offensive rhythm . With no ball, no range, and no weight, Cunningham, the "three-no insider", relied on his athletic ability and enthusiasm, and unexpectedly played the role of "Sakuragi Flower Road", successfully putting down Bryant twice in a row. After Desso and George's offense, the high-spirited Cunningham even grabbed a rebound from Gay's missed shot in the counterattack and scored a supplementary dunk, "leading" the Grizzlies to complete a 10:2 attack wave. The point difference narrowed to 5 points. Seeing that the situation was not good, Stevens called a timeout in time to interrupt the momentum of the Grizzlies at the moment.

Yi Jianlian replaced Lopez and Livingston replaced Korver. Stevens made two substitutions, each with different intentions. Livingston came on the stage and took over the task of Bledsoe's possession of the ball to control the rhythm of the court. Yi Jianlian replaced Lopez. Let Lopez, who has played the longest time, get a rest. Second, to increase the shooting range of inside players, and third, to expose the "weak" inside to Randolph's bear's paw.

Everything was as Stevens guessed, when Livingston hit Conley in the low post and lured Cunningham to foul, after making a free throw, it was the turn of the Grizzlies to attack. Randolph saw that Yi Jianlian was in charge of top defense, and immediately Then he frantically wanted the position and the ball at the basket.

Many fans think that Yi Jianlian's jumping, speed, and other qualities are relatively high, and his strength is weak, but this is not the case. Good core strength makes Yi Jianlian not suffer so much when he is on the defensive end. Unless he meets Howard, Duncan's strength is stronger than him. Two grades, and Randolph, obviously also falls into this category.

Randolph's shooting was slightly interfered with by the long arm, and Randolph missed the shot under the basket, but then, he quickly grabbed the offensive rebound. Anderson, who was carrying the supplementary defense, made a hit at the basket.

Randolph seemed particularly excited as he scored against the two insiders of the Nets, shaking his head and shaking his head on the way back to the defense. However, returning to the defensive end, Randolph sent out these two points again. Yi Jianlian caught the ball from outside the three-point line and made a fake shot. Randolph's lazy defense failed to keep up. He easily broke through and created Corning Ham a foul.

Randolph, who had lost face, returned to the offensive end and continued to ask for the ball. Conley handed the ball over and gestured towards Mayo on the other end, which was his own response. Fortunately, Randolph forced Yi Jianlian Success can be regarded as saving some face for the dereliction of duty on the defensive end just now.

In the back-and-forth rounds between the two sides, Randolph's efficiency began to decline. Before he came to the Grizzlies, Randolph was a well-known black hole in possession of the ball, and after he came to the top, he gradually looked down on Mayo, Gay and others. Because of nothing, coupled with the fact that several players in the Grizzlies lineup, except Conley, are not players who can run well without the ball, the game has gradually evolved into a situation where Randolph plays one and sees four.

Yi Jianlian took off twice in a row. After grabbing the rebound, he sent a precise long pass with both hands. Bledsoe caught the ball in the frontcourt. There was no one in front of him. His left foot stepped half a meter inside the free throw line. The speed of his body has also reached the extreme, and the strength of the whole body burst out instantly through the tip of the left toe. With the inertia, the body quickly flew towards the basket, soaring straight up, like a free-flying seagull, slightly bent the right arm, and completed a kick Glide split button.

With a bang, it hit the hearts of all the fans hard.

The huge Continental Airlines Center burst into thunderous applause.

The fans who came to watch the game cheered crazily, which was also mixed with the cheers of the Nets players on the bench. And because of Yi Jianlian's relationship, the two commentators of CCTV 5, Yang Yi and Yang Jian, who broadcast the game, also praised Bledsoe's dunk.

"This is definitely a top-five slam dunk. Bledsoe's physical fitness is really incredible."

"Of course, the UAE's assists are also very beautiful. This is what we hope to see that the UAE can provide to the team."

Bledsoe's dunk drove the team's momentum. One and a half minutes before halftime, the Nets sent an 8:2 spurt, which once again widened the point difference to more than ten points. The Nets ended the first half with an 11-point lead 54:43.
