Chapter 359

After thinking about it, Su Yang dribbled the ball across the center line and raised his hand to signal for space on the left wing.

Seeing his gesture, Gordon stepped down, and with the help of Randolph's cover, he quickly rushed to the paint area.

Tony Allen went around the screen and chased Gordon, and the left wing position was vacated, and Su Yang arrived with the ball at the same time.

On the other side, Gordon saw that he could not forcibly shake off Tony Allen, stopped and ran back to the left corner.

Su Yang immediately passed the ball, but when Gordon got it, Tony was as close as a shadow.

It was impossible to rush the shot, Gordon immediately chose to pass the ball back, Su Yang caught the ball and held it high, watching and waiting.

Randolph then went up to the wall to screen, while Griffin chose to stay at the elbow, leaving a huge gap between the two.Seeing this situation, Gordon bowed and kicked the ground with strength, quickly passed through the gap, and rushed to the left 45-degree three-point line.

Tony rushed to catch up, virtually blocking Griffin from going up to grab space, and Conley circling to cover space.

Su Yang's thoughts flickered, he planned to walk the sideline to get rid of Conley, dribble to find the rhythm and rush to shoot a three-pointer.But considering that Griffin's bounce speed is relatively fast, the risk will be a bit high. He turned decisively and threw the ball to Gordon who rushed out, and then turned around and rushed to the short corner on the left.

Gordon held the ball around his waist and fixed his eyes on Su Yang who was running. There were only 9 seconds left in the attack time.

But Su Yang rushed to the short corner on the left, failed to get rid of Conley's pursuit, so he had to bite the bullet and walk the bottom line to move to the right.

Seeing his actions like that, George and Jordan hurriedly set up two human walls on the left waist, positioning themselves for cover in advance.

Su Yang quickly rushed to the right wing and raised his hand to receive a pass from Gordon, but Conley circled out of bounds to catch up, not even half a body behind, and the attack time was only 6 seconds left, the rest of the Clippers still got nothing Big open.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yang turned around to face the frame, took a step to test it out, stepped back and raised his hand to make a false throw.

It's a pity that Conley didn't hesitate, the fake action was declared useless, and the attack time consumed another 1.4 seconds.

Little Jordan hurried up the wall to cover, Su Yang went to the sideline to break through, Gasol and Conley chose to flank.

Seeing this situation, Su Yang hurriedly stopped and shook his hands, the basketball flew through the crowd, bounced off the ground and bounced towards the paint area.At the same time, Jordan just disassembled and went down. He picked up the basketball and wanted to smash the dunk, but Griffin moved laterally to supplement the defense and intercepted it.

With only 2.1 seconds left in the attack time, the audience held their breath and didn't even dare to blink, but Jordan stopped suddenly and turned to the left, handing the ball to Randolph, who was temporarily unguarded, and entangled Gerry with his back Fern, quite calm.

Randolph caught the ball and raised his hand, subconsciously retreated, and made a steady mid-range shot.

Boom!The basketball hit the hoop and hit the net, and the whistle sounded at the same time after 24 seconds, 6 to 10.

"YA..." The cheers in the arena erupted suddenly, as if the gas pedal had been blocked for a long time, and it suddenly became unblocked.

In the commentary seat, Mark Jackson smiled and said: "If the names of the players of the two teams were covered, I would think that the offense just now was played by the Grizzlies. The Clippers were very patient and were not affected by Gasol's brilliant performance at all. confidence."

"Yes..." Frazier continued, "The Grizzlies defend very well, especially in chasing people without the ball. Tony Allen and Mike Conley have achieved the best results, but the Clippers' tactical choice There are too many."

On the court, Conley parked the ball at the top of the arc, bowed to protect it, and waited for his teammates to move.

Griffin and Gasol screened for Gay and Tony on the bottom line twice in a row, but George and Gordon chased and played in such a timely manner that they never got a super-open chance to catch the ball, and they used up 10 minutes in a blink of an eye. seconds.

Seeing that the offense was at a standstill, Gasol turned around and raised to the left elbow, catching the ball with his back and holding it flat.

After Conley passed the ball, he rushed to the left elbow, raised his hand to take the basketball back, and strode towards the basket.

Su Yang wanted to quickly squeeze through the screen to catch up, but the quality of Gasol's screen was so good that he was two positions behind. Conley rushed to the left waist in a blink of an eye, and the other three Clippers quickly shrank to encircle him.

Who would have thought that Conley stopped and jumped suddenly, raised his hand and threw the ball to the right 45-degree three-point line.

Amidst the exclamation, Tony Allen caught the ball and held it high, sideways to avoid Gordon's pounce, stepped forward to join the ball and took off, and stepped on the line to make a long shot.

bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, 6 to 12.

In the commentary seat, Mark Jackson shook his head slightly: "Seeing Gasol's high-quality screens always reminds me of the 90s, when a center player can change the defensive formation with a screen, and now it is less and less."

"The average shooting range and shooting speed of players have increased..." Frazier said, "Now various teams' offenses no longer need such high-quality screens. Most of the inside will develop in the direction of space, a bit like the ABA back then."

On the court, Su Yang ran to the left wing with the ball, patted and waited continuously.

George ran up from the short corner, pretended to set a screen, but wobbled and turned and rushed to the right half.

But just such a flash made Griffin, who was standing at the top of the arc, relax his vigilance, and Randolph took the opportunity to run towards Su Yang.

The cover was thus formed, Su Yanghuang darted left and right, but Conley was deceived and chose to block the space on the left sideline.

Randolph immediately turned his back and blocked Conley. Su Yang turned his hips and started, rushing to the paint area quickly.

Griffin hurriedly shrunk and intercepted, but Randolph turned around and went down, Griffin had to give up the double-team.

Conley also failed to pose a threat. Su Yang easily rushed to the paint area. At the same time, George, who had already run to the short corner on the right, and Jordan played off-ball screens for each other. One continued to rush to the right corner, and the other went up. Provide positioning cover.

The Grizzlies closed the siege unsurprisingly, but Su Yang saw that two teammates were open, so he stopped and turned around to pass the ball.

Whoosh!The basketball flew to the 45-degree three-point line on the right, where there was Gordon who was temporarily unguarded.

It was only then that Tony Allen, who was in charge of defense, realized that he wanted to chase, but was blocked by Jordan's early cover.

"YEAH..." The audience cheered ahead of time, and Gordon jumped up and shot steadily.

bass!A three-pointer went into the net, 9 to 12.

"Wow, the Clippers' offense just now was great..." Mark Jackson praised, "Every movement is meaningful, and five people are participating in the offense. With Conley's misjudgment, they broke through the Grizzlies layer by layer. Defense."

"It's unbelievable..." Brin said, "The Grizzlies actually had two super wide open shots at the same time. Su Yang could have made a direct pass to George in the corner, but he took the initiative to increase the difficulty and chose to pass to Georgie who had a cover and a safer shot." Deng."

"It was a perfect decision..." Frazier said, "especially considering Rudy Gay's length, length and playback speed, George is not as fast, and Gordon is a better three-point shooter."

On the court, the Grizzlies made a figure-of-eight move, and Conley regained the ball at the 45-speed three-point line on the right.

At the same time, Gasol ran over from the top of the arc to cover, but Conley voluntarily gave up and chose to dribble the ball to the sideline.

Su Yang slid and chased after him, but Kangli suddenly dropped his shoulders and accelerated, rushing to the bottom line like a wild horse.

In a hurry, Su Yang retreated and twisted his hips to catch up, but encountered Guy's positioning cover in the short corner on the right.

Conley took the opportunity to rush to the basket, took off against George's defense, and forced a shot to hit the board, which was quite risky.

boom!George pegboard cap.

The basketball rebounded and fell, and the four players from the two teams competed chaotically. Gordon suddenly caught it.

Su Yang received the ball and dashed forward, took it to the right wing of the frontcourt in four seconds, stopped and watched and waited.

Jordan followed closely and set up a wall to block Conley. Su Yang pulled the ball and walked to the sideline to break through.

Gasol Jr. switched defenses and intercepted, but perhaps because he was afraid of being easily broken through, he took the initiative to stay away from the two-step distance.

Su Yang saw it, felt that there was enough space for his shot, and decisively stopped and took off to make a mid-range shot.

bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, 11 to 12.

In just one and a half minutes, the Clippers were only 1 point away from catching up, and the audience excitedly shouted defense in unison.

Conley took the ball to the left wing of the frontcourt, bowed and patted and waited, and Gasol came down from the 45 to screen.

Taking advantage of George being blocked, Gay moved up to 45 degrees to the left and raised his hand to indicate that he could catch the ball.

But Conley stood up and raised his hands high, his wrists shook slightly, and the basketball flew into the air and flew to his left waist.

Gasol received the ball with his back and turned to face the frame. The rest of the Grizzlies moved to the right half of the court.

The singles opportunity was formed, George let go of Gay without hesitation, and double-teamed from the top of the arc.

I once thought that Gasol cross-stepped, shouldered down the bottom line and charged hard, and carried Jordan to the layup.

The basketball didn't touch the rim at all, like a skewed bullet, flying towards the middle of the paint.

Players from the two teams immediately scrambled into a group, waving eight hands one after another, and moving six legs frequently.

In the chaos, Gordon grabbed the ball at the top of the arc, turned around and lunged forward.

The other players of the two teams stepped up to follow up. George received the ball from the left wing of the frontcourt, but he didn't make a shot from the wide open.

The opportunity suddenly disappeared, the basketball flew to the right 45-degree three-point line, Su Yang received the ball and waited.

Little Jordan stepped up to cover, Su Yang dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and suddenly pushed the ball straight to the basket.

At this time, because of the fast break, the Grizzlies' defensive formation has not yet been fully formed, and the middle area is empty.

The basketball swished to the basket, and Gordon just rushed there, raised his hand to catch the ball, and took advantage of the opportunity to lightly hit the board.

That movement was quite smooth, but who would have thought that the basketball would drop and roll off the baseline.

Beep!The referee whistled for a violation and the ball was handed over to the Grizzlies.

Gordon shrugged and shook his head, and waved his hand at Su Yang, as if feeling a little sorry.

Su Yang responded with a smile, but didn't take it to heart, it was just a top ten ball.

Taking advantage of the dead ball, the Grizzlies adjusted their lineup and Mayo replaced Tony Allen.

The two teams switched offense and defense, Conley dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and the Grizzlies settled in a one-high and four-low formation.

After a cover run, Mayo ran around the baseline to the right at 45 degrees to catch the ball, but failed to get rid of Gordon's pursuit.

Griffin stepped up to cover, and Mayo immediately started to rush to the top of the arc. Unfortunately, the quality of Griffin's screen was much worse than that of Gasol. Gordon easily squeezed through the screen and re-attached to Mayo in the blink of an eye. , not giving even the slightest space.

In a hurry, Mayo stopped and turned to the right, raised his hand and threw the ball 45 degrees to the right.

Conley received the ball and immediately divided it into the right corner. Gay took the ball and bowed in a three-threat posture and waited.

Gasol Jr. lifted up simultaneously to cover, Gay took the opportunity to start and rushed to his right elbow, ignoring the double-team, and made three strong steps with the ball.

Jordan followed up all the way in parallel, chased to the basket, jumped up and blocked the block, and slapped the basketball away.

Beep!The referee blew his whistle, called the thug for a foul, and gave Gay two free throw opportunities.

"Huh?" Little Jordan was stunned on the spot, then reacted, and rushed towards the referee with his mouth wide open.

The audience booed and cheered, but the referee ignored it, and free throws were imperative.

Little Jordan could only turn around and walk away. Gay stood on the free throw line with boos, and the first free throw was banging like iron.

"Basketball doesn't lie..." a spectator yelled from behind the hoop, and the boos got louder.

Gay caught the ball again, bowed and patted twice, straightened his back, and shot slightly tensely.

when!The basketball bounced off the hoop.

Jordan and Randolph immediately turned their backs, and George stepped forward and took off, grabbing the rebound firmly.

The Clippers launched a counterattack. Su Yang received the ball from the left sideline, slowly brought it to the left wing of the frontcourt, and suddenly accelerated and rushed.

Conley failed to catch up for a while, Griffin hurriedly made up for the delay, and then teamed up with Conley to contain it.

Su Yang slowed down at the bottom corner, changed hands under his crotch, and quickly moved to the left wing position, patted and observed.

Randolph stuck his back in the right corner and raised his hand to catch the ball, successfully attracting some of the Grizzlies' defensive attention, but George rushed to the right at 45 degrees at the same time, setting up a wall in advance as a positioning screen, and Su Yang took the opportunity to break through at the top of the arc.

Guy hurriedly switched defenses to intercept, Su Yang changed his direction ahead of time, pretending to go to the left, but actually went to the right in a European step.

The two people's bodies were staggered, Su Yang kicked and kicked two big strides to the basket, and took advantage of the situation to raise his hand to pick the basket and hit the backboard.

boom!The basketball rebounded into the net, and the Clippers completed a 13-12 lead.

Cheers broke out at the scene, the Grizzlies made a fast break, Mayo received the ball from the center line, and rushed all the way to the left wing.

Gay steps up to get the ball, and Mayo strides down the sideline, taking away the low defender on the left.

Griffin took the opportunity to get in position, bowed to catch the ground pass, and then turned to face the frame in a three-threat pose.

Randolph raised his eyebrows and glanced, took the initiative to take a half step back, and decided not to let go.

Even so, Griffin still slumped his shoulders and lowered his center of gravity, bang bang dribbled for two steps, and then stopped suddenly to take off and throw.

The basketball flew straight to the basket, but never expected that it flew over the head, became three non-stick, and fell straight down.

The players of the two teams bent over to fight for an instant, the basketball was subjected to various forces, and rolled out of the bottom line in the chaos.

The referee immediately blew his whistle to punish the violation, gave the Clippers the right to the bottom line of the backcourt, and stopped the game to make arrangements.

There are 6 minutes and 27 seconds left in the time. Taking this opportunity, the two teams adjusted their personnel.On the Clippers side, Tucker came on to replace George, on the Grizzlies side, Darrell Arthur replaced Griffin, and Sean Battier replaced Rudy Gay.

The arrangement was over in a blink of an eye, and the game continued.

The referee whistled, and Su Yang caught the ball and pushed it all the way to the top of the arc.

The Clippers team settled in a V-shaped formation, and Jordan Jr. lifted up from the right elbow and set up a wall to block Conley.

Su Yang pulled the ball to the right and broke through. Seeing Gasol change defense and intercept, he immediately stopped at a 45-degree position.I wanted to do some more observations, but Gasol followed the inside-cut Jordan and ran away, automatically leaving space, and Su Yang decisively dropped his shoulders and rushed.

After rushing to the basket in just over a second, Gasol Jr. and Darrell Arthur hurriedly double-teamed.

The defense was quite suffocating, but Su Yang folded the lever, gliding for a short distance, and the defense hit the board.

boom!The basketball hit the board and rebounded and fell, and Jordan jumped high to catch the rebound.

Su Yang hurried to the left corner, raised his hand to catch the pass, and raised his hand to score a three-pointer.

when!The basketball hit the rim and rebounded, Su Yang hit the iron twice in a row, and sighs sounded in the arena.

Who ever thought that the basketball bounced to the serving line, was touched by the two teams, and then flew to the center line.

Gordon was about to retreat, but when he saw the basketball flying over, he casually raised his hand to catch it.

At this time, the Grizzlies' defensive formation was in chaos, and Conley had already rushed to the left wing, ready to get the ball and play quickly.

Gordon threw the ball to the left corner suddenly, and Su Yang caught the ball and immediately made another three-pointer.

bass!Hollow into the net, the Clippers made a 12-2 attack wave, leading the Grizzlies by 4 points.

The whistle sounded immediately, the Grizzlies called for a timeout, and cheers and applause erupted from the Staples Center.

In the commentary seat, Mark Jackson sighed: "The egalitarian style of play can only be used in regular season training. The playoffs are the stage for superstars. The Grizzlies should insist on letting Gasol take control and not waste his influence in vain."

"Yes, I saw DeAndre Jordan's expression at the time, and I was already a little frustrated..."
