NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 41 The Grizzlies Lead 1-0
Lionel Hollins did not call a timeout.

This time it was not a matter of face, but that he really couldn't think of any countermeasures for a while.

The tactics were predicted, and Randolph couldn't play singles.

Under such circumstances, it seems that calling a timeout is just to let the players take a break, and it's not that the Grizzlies rest and the Warriors can rest.

Seeing that Lionel Hollins didn't call a timeout, Randolph reached for the ball.

He still believes he can't beat Draymond Green.

It is unrealistic for Draymond Green to achieve a zero seal against Randolph, and he can only try to limit Randolph to a lower shooting percentage.

But this time Randolph still didn't score.

The Grizzlies retreated quickly this time.

The Warriors were not in a hurry, Su Chen made a gesture on the sidelines, indicating that the ball should be used as an elevator door tactic.

This time it is still Curry running.

When Curry cut inside, he suddenly made a sharp turn and entered the elevator door, and Tony Allen was staggered directly.

According to the standard of whistle-blowing for the pick-and-roll later, this ball can undoubtedly be whistled for a pick-and-roll foul, but now the pick-and-roll foul is too loose.

Even David Lee's mobile push flow pick-and-roll in the first few rounds was not blown.

Curry got an open three-point shot.

brush!
Curry didn't waste the opportunity.

Grizzlies 46:59 Warriors.

The gap between the two sides continues to widen.

beep!
Lionel Hollins called a timeout to make adjustments.

But in this game, Lionel Hollins has nothing to do.

The arrangement to defend the elevator doors before the game did not work on the spot.

At the same time, the Warriors revealed new weapons.

In the case of not restricting the Warriors' defense, the Grizzlies scored again.

This time, Su Chen didn't bother to spend his energy to check the tactical board in Lionel Hollins' hands.

After a pause comes back.

The Grizzlies' tactics are not very effective, and they can only rely on Randolph to fight inside.

Although it can score some points, under the defense of Draymond Green, the efficiency is relatively low.

On the contrary, the Warriors' offense became more and more smooth, and the score surged.

Halftime is over.

Grizzlies 50: Warriors 67.

The difference between the two sides has reached 17 points.

Before the game, no one thought that the defense that the Grizzlies were proud of would be beaten like this.

67 points in the half!

You must know that in this era, sometimes the whole game is only [-] or [-] points.

The Warriors played such an offense at halftime.

Of course, it was also because Curry and Thompson felt explosive in this quarter.

If one of the Splash Brothers has a good hand feel, he can score well, let alone both of them have a good hand feel.

With 67 points scored in the half, such a defense can be said to be gone.

"The Grizzlies let the Warriors get too many three-pointers. It's really bad defense."

"Are we really looking at a lineup full of defensive players?"

The on-site commentary was also very puzzling.

After all, before the game, the Grizzlies' support rate was quite high.

The Grizzlies, who have many defensive-level players, face the Warriors who rely heavily on three-point jumpers, and it stands to reason that they have all the advantages.

Lionel Hollins is also a coach known for his defense.

It's really incomprehensible to be beaten like this.

By the third quarter.

After a halftime adjustment, Lionel Hollins made some adjustments.

In fact, before the game, Lionel Hollins had already made defensive adjustments.

But the Warrior's actual combat performance far exceeded his expectations, or he himself underestimated the enemy a bit.

Especially Curry, I don't know why that shooting posture is so fast, and he can shoot with a little space.

The key hit rate is not bad.

Conley contracted the consumption of Grizzlies players, but Conley has never been a player who can turn the tide.

He can organize the team, attack by himself, and do his own defense at the same time.

But if you have to rely solely on him to score, it is difficult for him to make consecutive bursts of points, unlike Curry Thompson.

Although due to the decline in physical strength and touch, the Warriors' scoring efficiency in the third quarter began to decline.

But the Grizzlies' offensive efficiency can't be improved.

The third quarter is over.

Grizzlies 65: Warriors 88.

With a 23-point difference, the Grizzlies entered the final quarter.

The FedEx Arena was as quiet as a library, and the Grizzlies fans who had waved their flags before were already playing with their phones with their heads down.

Crashed, the Grizzlies have been crushed.

Obviously at the beginning, it was still playing back and forth, why did it suddenly collapse?

Lionel Hollins sits in a chair, rests his chin on his hand, and watches the court.

The assistant coach of the Grizzlies next to him also looked left and right, with a disturbed expression.

The Grizzlies players are actually conscientious on defense. After all, when it comes to the stage of the Western Conference Finals, no player will choose to paddle and not work hard at this time.

Lionel Hollins also knew in his heart at this time that he was defeated tactically.

The first confrontation between him and Warriors coach Su Chen could end in a complete defeat.

Obviously, the Grizzlies' offensive firepower is insufficient, and they can't defend the opponent. If they can win, they can only rely on the collective explosion of the players.

The last quarter of the game begins.

Lionel Hollins is still sitting in the chair, he has no previous passion.

The point difference of 23 points is too big, and the Grizzlies can't score 23 points in a quarter without bursting.

Moreover, because he shortened the rotation time of the Grizzlies, the physical strength of the Grizzlies' main players is not even as good as that of the Warriors' main players.

The Warriors have not made too many personnel and tactical adjustments.

Basically, it is to maintain a point difference of about 20 points and hang the Grizzlies.

More than half of the time in the last quarter, there is still a 21-point difference between the two sides.

beep!
Lionel Hollins also knew that there was no way to catch up, so he simply called a timeout, and directly replaced the main force to rest.

For the Grizzlies tonight, the game is over.

This is only the first game of the series. The main force of the Grizzlies has played too much time in this game, and Lionel Hollins is also out of the psychology of protecting the players.

Seeing that Lionel Hollins voluntarily surrendered, Su Chen would not continue to put the main force on the field for the sake of players.

on the next turn.

Su Chen gave Draymond Green a look, and Draymond Green knew that he would make a foul casually, and then replaced the lineup with water fountains on the bench.

There was still half a quarter left, and it just turned into garbage time.

In the FedEx Center arena, more than half of the fans have left.

beep!
When the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, there were only scattered fans in the arena.

It was in stark contrast to the crowds before the game.

Grizzlies 88: Warriors 105.

The Grizzlies' bench chased some points back, but to no avail.

The big score in the Western Conference Finals also became the Grizzlies 0-1 Warriors.
