"Worst or worse, look, the ball was missed..." Director Zhang looked disappointed, even more dissatisfied than Lakers coach D'Antoni.

The Grizzlies attack here.

Conley dribbled the ball over and passed it to Xie Kai.

Xie Kai faced Kobe, crossed his steps, then pulled the ball continuously under his crotch, held the ball near the left corner, and made a jump shot - short!

Warcraft domineeringly collected the backcourt rebound and handed it to Kobe to advance.

Kobe slowly dribbled over, stood at the top of the arc, and then directed his teammates to get into position.

Our sister-in-law came up to cover one. Kobe took the ball to the middle and was flanked by Ci Shiping in the bottom corner!

Ci Shiping takes 3 points and goes one - there is it!

The two sides fought to a tie at 5:5.

"Yes, yes! Hey, Ci Shiping really dared to vote, and he actually got in!" Director Zhang said excitedly.

Yu Jia said: "Kobe's timing for passing the ball was very good, and Ci Shiping's shot was also very decisive!"

There was a timeout on the sidelines, and it was called by the Grizzlies.

The atmosphere at the scene was very good and active. Although the score was overtaken by the opponent, the fans of the home team did not seem very disappointed. On the contrary, in their view, if the suspense of the game was lost early, it would be a waste of such a high-profile event.

The battle for focus begins.

After the timeout, the game continued. There were no substitutions on either side.

Conley dribbled the ball over and passed it to the little sister-in-law in the high position.

The younger sister-in-law gave the ball to the low-lying black bear, and the black bear forcefully hit the older sister-in-law.

Our sister-in-law is tall, but at this position, if Warcraft doesn't come to help him defend, he is really not that good at guarding against black bears.

"High-low is what we call high and low! The Grizzlies often play high and low, and they have this personnel configuration!" Coach Zhang explained.

Black Bear used his weight and footwork to show off his singles skills in the low post, causing everyone's sister-in-law to foul.

The Black Bear went to the free throw line, missed the first free throw, and made the second!

The Grizzlies lead 6:5!

For the Lakers, Kobe continued to play with the ball, and the ball came into Ci Shiping's hands again. But this time, the old prince paid attention and did not give the opponent an open 3-point opportunity.

Ci Shiping had no chance to score a 3-pointer, so he broke through with the ball. The speed of his breakthrough can be described as a turtle speed, like a classic car, slowly and leisurely, as if it was going to the scrapyard.

Conley came over to help defend and intercepted the ball!

The Grizzlies counterattacked, sprinted forward, received Conley's pass, and hit a layup. The Grizzlies led 8:5!

When the Lakers attacked, Kobe forced his way into the paint and threw himself into the air, causing the old prince to commit a defensive foul!

Kobe went to the free throw line and made two free throws. The score was once again close to 1 point.

The two teams have been locked in a tight score, and no one can easily widen the gap.

After half a quarter of the game, Xie Kai was replaced by Tony Allen.

Yu Jia said: "It seems that Xie Kai will lead the second team again in this game!"

Director Zhang nodded and said: "This way, there will be much less time for direct dialogue between him and Kobe."

After Tony Allen came up, the offensive rhythm of both sides became even slower.

Kobe also had a hard time, being served by two excellent defensive players in a row. Tony Allen, who was selected for the first defense last season, is a typical perimeter defense expert and especially likes to defend the opponent's flank.

The score between the two sides is still not open. The Lakers' offense has not been successful at all. They basically rely on Kobe's ball-handling offense. The offenses of Daxiang and Ci Shiping are also inconsistent and cannot score continuously. Morris and

Warcraft's presence on the offensive end can simply be ignored.

With 2 minutes and 11 seconds left in the first quarter, a timeout occurred on the sidelines. After the timeout came back, Xie Kai and Speights, who were the last to appear on the team's second lineup, came up to play.

The score at this time is 19:17, and the Grizzlies lead by 2 points!

The Grizzlies' second lineup came on the field, and the home team fans cheered thunderously.

Yu Jia: "Coach Zhang, the Grizzlies' second team is very popular at home!"

Director Zhang said: "That's right, if they play well, their popularity will be high, hahaha..."

The bench lineup for the Lakers is: Antawn Jamison, Ci Shiping, Jordan Hill, Jody Meeks and Chris Duhon.

The general dribbled the ball over and organized the attack at the top of the key.

Xie Kai came over to catch the ball, and his defender became Ci Shiping.

"The Lakers let Ci Shiping's defense break down!" Yu Jia said.

Director Zhang smiled and said: "Then he can only defend him. After all, Ci Shiping was the best defensive player back then!"

Yu Jia nodded in agreement. After all, if Meeks and Du Hong were to defend Xie Kai, who were poorly defensive, they would really have no choice but to be defeated.

When Xie Kai faced Ci Shiping, with the help of Arthur's cover, the opponent directly switched to defense.

Xie Kai faces Jamison.

Jamison was known as the best 3/4 swingman in the league at the time, and his offensive skills were very comprehensive and solid. However, he is now 36 years old and still has not won a championship ring.

When Jamison was at his peak, he was considered a very strong offensive forward in the league, but as a team boss, he is not suitable in terms of personal ability and personality. His most suitable position is to be the second or even third boss.

.

Some players are like this. It's not that they are incompetent, but that they really don't have the leadership and temperament. If such a player is the boss, he will not be able to support a team at all.

Facing Jamison, Xie Kai broke through directly with the ball. After being blocked, he went in-out and then crossed over with his right hand, pulled the ball to his left hand, and then took a step back to get out of the space.

Jamison is getting older and can't keep up. Even when he was young, he was not a strong defensive player, let alone now.

Xie Kai took a jump shot and hit the frame accurately amid the screams of the fans at the scene!

21:17, the Grizzlies lead by 4 points!

"Beautiful, this single shot is really beautiful!" Yu Jia explained excitedly.

On the offense of the Lakers, their second lineup played the run-and-gun tactics required by D'Antoni.

Duhong held the ball in the high position, positioned in a V shape, and Meeks and Ci Shiping on the wings opened up the space.

Jamison acted as a poor version of the elderly Stoudemire, while Duhon acted as a super poor version of Nash. The two played high pick-and-rolls.

Jamison went down the pick-and-roll, received Duhon's pass, and beat Arthur hard to win!

The point difference was reduced to 2 points!

"This attacking space is really big, much bigger than before!" Yu Jia exclaimed.

Director Zhang smiled and said: "D'Antoni's offense is all about space and shooting. The small forward and shooting guard are both stationed in the corners. Can there be less space?"

Yu Jia nodded. He knew why the Lakers' starting lineup couldn't play run-and-gun. You couldn't let Kobe stand in the corner, right? Who among our sisters-in-law and World of Warcraft wants to be the pick-and-roll pie-eater? Even if our sisters-in-law are willing.
