: Two hundred and forty-eight: Death Coil

The game reached the last 2 minutes of the fourth quarter, and the Grizzlies led the Lakers by 3 points. Since the Grizzlies lead the game in the first quarter, the Lakers have been very passive. Even if they take the lead, they can only maintain their lead for a while, and the scores of the two teams have been in a state of alternating leads.
The Lakers and Grizzlies changed a lot of tricks to deal with each other today. For example, in the second quarter, the Lakers suddenly increased the number of three-pointers, Barnes and Steve Blake made a good shot at Staples. It rained for three minutes.
In the third quarter, Hollins asked Gasol to respond to the attack. As a result, Link, Gay and Speights all benefited. The Spaniard showed his coping ability to the fullest. Among them, the biggest benefit is undoubtedly Speights, he scored 9 points in the third quarter, including a three-pointer. Speights accurate shooting in the third quarter is the key to the Grizzlies being able to re-bite the game.
Of course, he also made Los Angeles fans remember his name.
By the fourth quarter of the decisive battle, the two sides had no secret weapons. As a result, the game entered the most intense melee link.
Bynum beat Gasol in the low post, it can be seen that Bynum's actions are very rough. Hollins clenched his fists on the sidelines. If it weren't for Staples, Bynum would have been fouled.
The two center forwards were full of gunpowder, and today they were completely on the bar. Since being blocked by Gasol for a dunk in the first quarter, Bynum has been eager for revenge.
The title of "No. 1 Center in the West" made Bynum a little bit fluttering. Today suddenly encountered a tough stubble, Bynum was really a little angry.
"Little Shark" changed hands for the hook, but Gasol's judgment on the defense was really very accurate. He almost blocked the hook, and Bynum could only barely take the shot.
The basketball finally knocked out, but Bynum's continuous bounce ability and bounce speed were indeed higher than Gasol. He shot and grabbed himself, got offensive rebounds, and immediately took off for the second time!
But Gasol did not lose his position. He raised his arms and stood in place, again interfering with Bynum's layup. As a result, the basketball knocked out again!
This time, Gasol didn't lose his rebounds. He rushed to play basketball before Bynum, and Bynum returned without success!
"No, Andrew's efficiency is not high today. Counting just now, he has already shot 14 times, but only hit 5 goals. The 35.7% shooting rate is really too low for a center. Although he took 15 Points, but the shooting percentage really makes these 15 points not high in gold." Mitchell Thompson couldn't help but complain. Bynum's performance today can be described as high driving low.
At the beginning of the game, Gasol was given a make-up deduction, but the more and more things went wrong later.
But speaking of it, Gasol's data today is amazing enough. 2 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 blocks. In these figures, the score is the least!
Bynum's defense makes it difficult for Gasol, who is not so capable of offense, to break through. Thus, the Spanish tramp tried to contend with Bynum in other ways.
For example, for the cover, 2 of the 3 are dedicated to Bynum. Take rebounds, for example, there are 2 offensive rebounds out of 10. For example, the assists, Gasol's low coping ability today is fully demonstrated. When Link and Gay couldn't make room, it was Gasol's wonderful pass that supported the Grizzlies' tactical operation.
Of course, the inside coordination between him and Speights in the third quarter is also the key to the Lakers' inability to open the score.
Two centers, Bynum and Gasol Jr., both tortured each other in the way they are good at today. This is actually the epitome of this game. The Lakers and Grizzlies refused to give in to each other, both sides tried their best, but no one could actually lead.
After little Gasol was finally able to defend, he went over there and his pass was intercepted by his brother. Pau Gasol has allowed Speights to score too many points in the third quarter, so now he is very focused. As soon as Mark passes the ball to him, Paul will act immediately.
Once again, both sides' attacks were disrupted. Mike Brown called a timeout. In the last 2 minutes, the Lakers must quickly get the score back!
"Bryant, I will hand it over to you in the last 2 minutes. I hope you can dominate the game, we have no better way!" Mike Brown's arrangement is straightforward, handing the ball to the best person, how can it not Tactics?
Matt Barnes hasn't scored much since the magic of the third quarter today, Bynum? His hit rate is low enough. At the last moment, you can't put Bao on Gasol, who didn't attack much in the whole game.
Therefore, now Brown can only rely on Kobe. At the critical moment, a team with an offensive focus is more confident than a team who has the opportunity to shoot! There is an offensive core, at least the offense will not be chaotic.
After listening to Brown’s arrangement, Kobe picked up the tactical board, and began to draw tactics for himself and arrange for his teammates... There is no way, the players trained by Phil Jackson are like this. Who makes the "Zen Master" always Do you like to let the players solve the problems themselves? It's already a habit for Kobe to pick up the tactical board and draw by himself during the timeout.
On the other hand, Hollins also knew that the Lakers were about to offer their fiercest counterattack. And the person pushing the counterattack is destined to be Kobe. He wanted to replace Guy with Tony Allen, let Allen defend Kobe, and then liberate Link on the offensive end.
But Guy played really well today, shooting nearly 50% from the field, and has scored 19 points. For comparison, Link's data today is 15 points and 8 assists. Facts have proved that as long as Guy does not waver, he still has the ability.
If Gay is replaced, the Grizzlies will suddenly lack an efficient scoring point. Therefore, Hollins fell into entanglement.
In the end, he decided to let Link continue to withstand, "Interfere with his attack as much as possible! The person you will face in the last two minutes will be a madman! But I hope you can be even more mad than him!"
"I try my best, coach." Link nodded. Link didn't score high today. One is because Kobe's defense is really good, and the other is because most of the ball is in the hands of Gasol and Guy. Link The right to shoot was assigned to Speights. And the most important point is that Link must concentrate on the defensive end in order to prevent Kobe. This more or less affects Link's investment on the offensive end.
Therefore, Link is only the third person with the Grizzlies to score after Guy and Speights.
At the last moment, since the coach needs me to be a defender, be a defender!
For some players, the number of points scored is higher than the outcome of the game. But for Link, the game wins and loses more than anything else.
After all, this is related to whether everyone can shave!
The game restarted, and the Lakers replaced Fischer and let Blake play the last two minutes. The Grizzlies are still the old lineup.
The shot was given to Tony Allen on the bench, and the commentators were all talking, "Tony's defensive performance was still quite good when Tony came off the bench today. But at the critical moment, Coach Hollins chose to keep Tony on the court. Next! This is a very bold decision, let us see if Link can hold it!"
The Lakers first attacked. Kobe has scored 22 points today and sent out 9 assists at the same time, which is more than Link. It can be seen that Kobe really wants to drive his teammates today. But in the end, I had to do it myself.
This time Kobe chose to use the ball-free offense to deal with Link, but Link has devoted 100% to the defense. No matter how Kobe gets rid of, the No. 0 wearing "villain clothes" always stays beside Kobe. Even pull his jersey!
Today’s referee has a large scale, which is just the convenience provided to Link!
Kobe was entangled so that he couldn't catch the ball, so he could only go back and get space near the midfield line. But when receiving the ball from such a distance, the off-ball offense has become an offensive with the ball.
Before Kobe adjusted the ball after receiving the ball, Link started directly! The basketball was stabbed by Link and lost control. Kobe hurried to pick up the ball, but found that Link fell directly to the ground, crushing the basketball under him.
"Student grabbing Kobe!" Mitchell Thompson's eyes widened, what a fairy defense is this!
After the steal, Link lay on the ground and passed the ball to Guy, but unfortunately, the latter's emergency stop was interrupted by Barnes to hit the iron and did not score. With one offense and one defense, the difference between the two teams remains the same.
Kobe shook his head and reached out to Link, pulling him up. "Our decisive battle officially begins on Sunday?"
"Start anytime, Bryant!" After that, Link continued to stick to Kobe. Kobe suddenly discovered that Link seemed to be quite paranoid...
His defense reminded Kobe of Tony Allen. What do people call that? Yes, death entanglement!
For the Lakers' second offense, Kobe will play a pick and roll. Bynum mentioned that he was 5 of 14 and he dared not make any more moves. Therefore, he did not take a position on the inside, but went out to work hard.
Kobe bypassed the screen, but was replaced by Gasol in time. Gasol has a high defensive IQ, and his defense is always very timely. Kobe wanted to return the ball to Bynum and let him play Link, but Link made up to Kobe's side and cut off his passing route!
Kobe hesitated, and finally passed a high ball to Bynum. But at the moment of passing the ball, Gasol and Link switched to each other's confrontation, and the dislocation disappeared instantly!
At this time, Kobe had just cut in. He didn't expect the Grizzlies' defense to be so disciplined. Bynum, who hadn't figured out the situation, stupidly passed the ball to Kobe, letting Link who stood behind Kobe easily cut it off!
"It's guarded again!?" Mitchell Thompson swallowed. This defensive awareness is really not everyone's.
"Come again!" Link looked at Kobe and shouted. Blake on the side was scared to pee, who dares to provoke Kobe like this! Killing!
Life has not come out~EbookFREE.me~ The iron has hit a lot.
In the last 2 minutes, both sides' offense was not smooth. On Link's side, Kobe is restricted to only 1 of 3 shots at critical moments, not counting those that make Kobe unable to shoot directly. His defense amazed all Los Angeles. It was not a coincidence that Link had defended Durant 3 of 14 in the playoffs last season.
On the Grizzlies side, Gay is a bit weak in the long-term, and his 19 points have not increased. Fortunately, Conley made a brave breakthrough and made a foul, which allowed the Grizzlies to keep the 3-point difference.
Kobe can't accept losing this game. The Lakers' record is bad enough. If you lose like this, it will be very difficult to catch up with other teams in the middle and late stages.
At this point, with the last 23.6 seconds left in the game, the Lakers are still 3 points behind. Kobe either scored or lost the game. In short, there is no way out!
24 points and 9 assists, with a 50% shooting rate. In terms of data, it looks better than Linke. Kobe has done everything he can, and now, it's just the final blow!
The final match with Link was on Sunday, and the final round was close to the winner.
