Chapter 513: An evenly matched first half duel

The Grizzlies attacked, Speights missed a mid-range jumper, and Jordan Hill grabbed a backcourt rebound.

The Lakers continued the high pick-and-roll, Jamison caught the ball and hooked a shot with his right hand - keep hitting!

The two sides were tied at 21, and there were 57.1 seconds left before the end of the first quarter.

The general dribbled the ball over and gave it to Xie Kai.

Facing Ci Shiping's defense, Xie Kai changed his hands and walked inside!

Ci Shiping's speed is no longer what it used to be. Even when he won the Best Defensive Player, his lateral speed was not that exaggerated. He is more suitable to face heavy strikers like James, rather than Xie Kai's height.

The speed of less than 2 meters flows to the defender.

Ci Shiping couldn't keep up, so Jamison had no choice but to come over to help defend!

Xie Kai threw the ball into the air!

Arthur understood, jumped high, hit Jordan Hill's head, and slammed the ball into the basket!

FedEx Arena, which had been quite quiet just now, suddenly became lively because of Xie Kai and Arthur's alley-oop, and cheers came one after another.

23:21, the Grizzlies lead by 2 points!

Yu Jia lamented: "Xie Kai is really elite in terms of tearing apart the opponent's defense with his personal offense and creating opportunities for his teammates!"

Director Zhang smiled and said: "That's because no one on the Lakers can restrict him now. Obviously, Ci Shiping's defensive effect is not as good as Kobe's."

Although he knew that Director Zhang liked Kobe, Yu Jia knew that he was not exaggerating. Indeed, no one in the Lakers could do a better job than him in terms of defending.

The Lakers still use this tactic. This is the third time in a row that they have used this tactic!

It was still a high-post pick-and-roll, but this time the Grizzlies had a different strategy. When they defended the pick-and-roll, they retreated back and bet on Duhong's 3-pointer.

Duhong didn't make a 3-pointer and still gave the ball to Jamison.

But Jamison was flanked! He made a mistake...

The Grizzlies fought back, but Speights had a walking violation when receiving the ball and made a mistake...

Yu Jia was a little dissatisfied: "Speights doesn't know what he is doing. Such a good opportunity has been lost in vain!"

The Lakers attack and Ci Shiping hits a 3-pointer!

He turned around and missed the 3-pointer at the buzzer, and the first quarter ended.

In the first quarter, the Grizzlies led 23:21.

Xie Kai scored 9 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists and 1 steal in the first quarter.

Rest between sessions.

Yu Jia smiled and said: "Director Zhang, the scores of the two teams are low enough."

Director Zhang smiled and said: "Whoever plays against the Grizzlies will not score higher. Both teams are mainly inside, and the offensive rhythm is slow, so the scoring is low. I think back when Yao Ming was in the Rockets, his scoring in each game was also

It’s not that high. If you want to score high, you still have to be like the Suns back then, throwing 3-pointers around. That’s high!”

The second quarter of the game started quickly.

Both teams made one mistake each from the start...

The general dribbled the ball over and gave it to Xie Kai.

At this time, Ci Shiping had gone to rest, and D'Antoni replaced Darius Morris to defend Xie Kai.

Morris is not very good in all aspects, but he is 193cm tall. For the position of point guard, this height is still higher than the average. It is better to let this young man entangle Xie Kai than to let the 185cm Duhong or

If Meeks is a pure shooter, he should be stronger on defense.

Xie Kai faces Morris and picks and rolls with Arthur.

After Arthur's pick-and-roll, the Lakers' double team failed.

Xie Kai gave the ball to Arthur, and Arthur hit the basket and was knocked down by Jordan Hill!

foul!

Jordan Hill is also a "veteran Rockets player". On February 19, 2010, he was traded to the Rockets in a three-way deal involving Temaidi among the Rockets, Knicks and Kings.

Among Chinese fans, he has a nickname called "Brother Sharp". However, in Xie Kai's view, Internet celebrity Brother Sharp is much more handsome than him.

On March 16 this year, the Lakers sent veteran fisherman Fisher and the 2012 first-round draft pick obtained from the Mavericks to acquire Jordan Hill from the Rockets.

On July 26, the Lakers officially announced that they had officially renewed Jordan Hill's contract. The new contract is worth US$7.13 million for two years.

The Lakers traded for him in the hope that he would provide the fierce fighting and the energy and enthusiasm of young insiders that the team lacked, and he could also serve as insurance for the main players such as his sister-in-law. Moreover, he is still young, only 25 years old, and still has certain potential.

Arthur steps to the free throw line.

Unexpectedly, Arthur missed two free throws!

Brother Sharp grabbed the backcourt rebound and handed it to Du Hong to advance.

The Lakers attacked, Jamison hit a jumper, and the two sides were tied again!

Looking back, the general hit a 3-pointer!

The Grizzlies took the lead 26:23!

The cheers at the scene started immediately, but before the cheers reached their climax, Du Hong from the Lakers hit a 3-pointer from the top of the arc and responded instantly!

The two sides draw again!

The second lineups of the two teams played evenly, which surprised the Grizzlies fans and their coaching staff at the scene.

It stands to reason that the second lineup led by Xie Kai has almost always won points in the previous games. However, facing the seemingly weak second lineup of the Lakers, how come it seems that no one can guard anyone?

Director Zhang said: "This is the power of D'Antoni's offensive system. It seems easy to start, but the offensive space is infinite and very difficult to defend."

Yu Jia nodded in agreement: "If the defense is switched, Jamison can be misplaced and attack Arenas. The defensive players on both wings are afraid of the opponent's pitchers and dare not shrink easily, resulting in a good one-on-one opportunity for Jamison."

The two sides went back and forth and the score never opened up. The main lineup came back one after another, and the offensive rhythm began to slow down again.

Warcraft is really having a hard time with the current Lakers lineup. He doesn't know what he should do on the offensive end. Low post? Pick-and-roll? Handoff from the corner? Free throw line support? He is a little confused, so much so that on the offensive end

Very low sense of presence.

Without Nash, the Lakers' starting lineup had fewer offensive routines. Kobe had to be both a father and a mother, and the pressure on his shoulders was enormous. Fortunately, Xie Kai went to rest, and Tony Allen hardly

offensively, which allows him to take a breather on the defensive end.

Xie Kai came on more than 4 minutes into the second quarter. After he came on, he helped the team lead by 5 points at the end of the half.

At the end of halftime, the Grizzlies led 48:43.

Xie Kai scored 14 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal at halftime, which was 15 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 steal at halftime. There was not much difference in performance between the two, but Kobe felt much more tired on the court.

Director Zhang expressed his heartache for Kobe: "The Lakers brought in Howard, but Kobe became even more tired. Howard's arrival also affected Gasol's performance. He really needs to adjust himself."
