Chapter 456 The first round of the playoffs G1
"Steve, the playoffs are here, and we're going to get busy again!" Kevin Harlan laughed.
Steve Kerr said: "I hope we have a chance to be busy! Think about it, when you stop, you don't know what to do."
Kevin Harlan has a deep understanding: "Yeah, I play with my cat every day. It's so boring. I'm really going to become a tomcat!"
"Hahaha...Kevin, you are so funny!"
The starting players of both sides came on the stage, and after a brief greeting, Jordan and his sister-in-law were preparing to jump the ball near the middle circle, and the game was about to start.
At the start of the jump ball, Jordan stretched out his ape arm and easily dialed the ball. Caron Butler of the Clippers got it and passed it to Paul to advance.
Paul slowly dribbles over and Conley goes to defend.
As far as Conley is concerned, facing Paul, there is no disadvantage in height.
But Paul is the same. Facing Conley, his own height disadvantage no longer exists, and the offensive interference will be relatively small.
Griffin and Paul have a high pick-and-roll. The former receives the latter's ground pass and takes two steps inside to find Caron Butler in the corner.
Caron Butler made a false shot, and there were people around the penalty area, and then divided into Randy Foye on the right.
Foye is the No. 2006 rookie in the first round in 7. He is 193cm tall and weighs 97kg. He is mainly a combo guard.In the Clippers, with Paul's presence, his role is an outside shooter.
Foye shot a feint, but Xie Kai wasn't fooled, he took a step sideways and couldn't find an opportunity to attack, he hesitated for a while, and took two steps away!
"Beep beep beep—" the referee's whistle sounded—walk!
The Clippers contributed a turnover at the beginning!
Grizzlies fans in the stands screamed and applauded the mistake.
Conley dribbles over and runs the offense at the top of the arc.
Foye defended Xie Kai. His defensive idea was to prevent the ball from being received, and use his solid body to push the opponent, consuming the opponent's physical strength.
Of course, the Clippers hope that Foye can consume the opponent's ace player as much as possible. If they can exchange, their hope of winning will be greatly increased.
The black bear asked for the ball with his back, and Conley passed the ball.
It is not Griffin who plays the 4th position, but Jordan, who plays the center, to defend the Black Bears.
Now many teams in the league are defending like this. Instead of letting the 4th position of their team face the Black Bears, they let the big center face it.This arrangement can prevent the 4th position on my side from being forced to eat because of his body.In particular, some teams play a big and a small, and the players who play the 4th position are even swingers. Facing a beast like a black bear, going to the top in the low post will really kill people.
Little Jordan is not particularly stocky, he belongs to the category of jumping men, but he is a serious big center, his physique is still there, and he is tall and long with long arms and top-notch bullet speed.
The black bear squeezed into a deep position in the penalty area, and was given a big cap by Jordan when he forced it!
Griffin nimbly grabbed the ball and sent it to Paul to counterattack!
Paul pushed back and countered Caron Butler, who was going down the court with a long pass. The latter was fouled by Gay when he made a layup!
"DeAndre's single defense is really great!" Kevin Harlan praised.
"His talent has always been there, and he hasn't been able to play his talent well because of offensive problems before!" Steve Kerr said.
Xie Kai saw Jordan and Griffin clapping there, and this moment reminded him of the 2008 draft.At that time, he was invited into the small green room, but he was not selected until the second round, becoming another joke after Rashad Lewis.
But having said that, Jordan's physical talent is really good, it can be regarded as a piece of jade, and he was really lucky to meet the passing master Paul and eat cakes until he vomited.
Caron Butler made two free throws and the Clippers took the lead to open the situation.
Conley came over with a dribble, and Xie Kai turned his back to ask for the ball.
Foye is defending around the front because he is not as tall as the opponent and is also afraid of the opponent's reception.
Xie Kai also walked around, suddenly turned around and walked in!
Conley made a bold pass, and the ball went over Foye's control area and into Xie Kai's hands.
Xie Kai catches the ball and only kills the basket!
Facing Jordan's penalty area guard, Xie Kai made a fake pass and gave it to the White Bears on the other side!
The white bear attacks the frame and hits the board!
The Grizzlies also scored!Thank you for the first assist of the game!
"Kane Xie's on-the-spot response is really quick, haha..." Kevin Harlan laughed.
The Grizzlies fans in the stands screamed and whistled everywhere, and the atmosphere at the scene was quite active.
The Clippers attacked here, and Paul missed the mid-range!
Bai Xiong accepted the rebound and handed it to Xie Kai to advance.
The Grizzlies are attacking here, and Gay has no jump shot!
Little Jordan closed the board!
It's the playoffs, and both teams play half-court positions. With tall centers on both sides inside, it's difficult for the ball to hit the penalty area easily.
After the scores of the two teams were tied at 2:2, there was no change in the next 3 minutes.The two sides kept hitting the iron, making mistakes, and non-shooting fouls.
"It's the playoffs, and everyone is working hard. It's really not easy to score with such a strong defense!" Kevin Harlan laughed.
"The main reason is that everyone's advantage is inside, so it's not easy to play." Steve Kerr said.
Conley dribbled the ball and gave it to Xie Kai.
Xie Kai also missed two shots before. Foye's close defense and the Clippers' insider Jordan's help defense still gave him a lot of interference.
But he knows that he must stand up and break the deadlock, because he is the core of the team's perimeter!
Xie Kai held the ball on the left wing, and Xiaojiasao came out to cover!
Xiaojiasao's screen quality is very high. Xie Kai took the ball and went to the other side, and the Clippers had to switch defenses.
Thank you VS Griffin!
Griffin lowered his center of gravity and looked very serious.
Xie Kai made an early change to his left hand, suddenly slapped the ball under his crotch, and instantly broke through with his right hand!
Griffin quickly moved to the rear left.
Xie Kai holds the ball and walks in the middle, and Paul here helps defend!
Xie Kai made an emergency stop and feinted a shot!
Both Griffin and Paul jumped!
Xie Kai jumped up sideways, adjusted his center of gravity and hand shape in the air, and used the strength of his fingers and wrists to push the ball out—a hit!
The Grizzlies lead 4:2!
The Grizzlies fans in the stands cheered! "Isn't this ball so handsome?" A fan wearing Xie Kai's white home jersey said, waving a white towel in his hand.
Kevin Harlan sighed: "The rhythm of this shot is too well grasped. It's really not easy to deceive Chris, who is in the best defensive team!"
For the Clippers, Paul assisted Griffin for a dunk under the basket after a strong attack, and he returned the favor!
The Clippers then used their actions to tell Xie Kai and the Grizzlies-this is the playoffs, you can't easily beat us!
