Opening Kobe template, rewarding Curry with three points

Chapter 217 Black Bear Xiaotian!A respectable opponent!

7 to 13, just looking at this point difference, it is indeed a win.

But the audience who watched the process of widening the point difference, especially the Grizzlies players who experienced everything on the court, didn't think so.

Although they have been thinking "Grizzly Bears, fearless!" in their hearts, they all know that the Warriors' momentum has fully picked up.

The Grizzlies started the game very tough tonight, but facts proved that it was all in vain in the face of absolute strength.

With Su Bai's proofing, the Warriors started to get on the right track both offensively and defensively. Even if the Grizzlies tried their best to fight, they were completely restricted on both offense and defense.

After the first quarter, the score reached 18-34.

In the Grizzlies coaching bench, coach Lionel Hollins did not blame his players, but praised their performance as already great and that they need to continue their efforts.

Lionel Hollins is well aware of the huge gap in strength between the two teams, so he knows very well that it is almost impossible for them to win.

Therefore, they just need to show their own momentum.

Then, in Lionel Hollins' view, it was really good that they could control the Warriors' score in the first quarter to 34.

You must know that the Warriors are usually the strongest at the beginning. During the regular season, they often score 40+ points in the first quarter.

His players have been really good.

So what else can he blame?

It’s too late to encourage such team members.

I have to say that Lionel Hollins has a really good mentality, and his mentality has also affected the Grizzlies players.

In the second quarter, they only lost 3 points in a single quarter and trailed by only 19 points at halftime.

For the Warriors, this is really a good result.

So after returning to the locker room, Lionel Hollins praised his players again.

This season is destined to belong to the Warriors, and the Grizzlies are destined to be a stepping stone for the Warriors...

No, they are not even stepping stones, at most they are cannon fodder.

But so what?

Even if they are cannon fodder, they still have their own meaning of existence!

In the visiting team's locker room, after coach Lionel Hollins finished speaking, Randolph gave another impassioned speech.

Behind by a big margin?
They are really not afraid of grizzly bears at all.

The Grizzlies are indeed tough, but the strength gap between the two teams is really too big.

Coupled with the Warriors' frantic campaign against the Black and White Bears, the Grizzlies can only hate San Francisco.

The Warriors finally defeated the Grizzlies 112-87 and won their first playoff victory without any surprises.

For the Grizzlies, Randolph had 23 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks;
Marc Gasol had 22 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks.

勇士队那边6人得分上双，苏白三节砍下了全场最高的28分，同时有7个篮板6次助攻3次抢断2记盖帽进账。

Compared with the one-sided and fancy abuse of the Warriors, the other Western Conference matchup was inseparable.

In the end, relying on Durant's last-minute mid-range shot, the Thunder successfully had the last laugh and defeated the Spurs.

On the Eastern team's side, the Heat and Celtics both won the game, but the Celtics won in a thrilling way. They were still 37 points behind in the last 3 seconds.

Fortunately, at the last moment, Garnett and Ray Allen hit a mid-range shot and a near-kill three-pointer respectively, otherwise they would have been robbed of the home court advantage by the Knicks.

The Celtics' slow-heating problem has never changed.

The next day, the remaining four groups of duels also started one after another. The Lakers and Mavericks in the West maintained their strength and easily KO their opponents.

This time it was the Eastern Conference's turn to have a problem. The Magic were defeated by the Hawks at home.

But this time, Warcraft fans can really shout, "The Magic lost, but Howard didn't."

In this game, Howard made 23 of 16 shots and 22 of 14 free throws. He scored a game-high 46 points very efficiently and grabbed 19 rebounds!
46 points and 19 rebounds!
This data is really enough to look at in ancient times.

However, apart from Howard, only Nelson scored in double figures for the Magic, and ultimately lost to the Hawks, who had five players scoring in double figures.

Facts have proved that basketball is still a holistic sport!

In the first round, there were two games where the score was lower than the upper score, but that was normal, because the losers were all against the fourth-ranked team, and their record was actually not much better than the fifth-ranked team.

On the next day, Su Bai and his teammates continued to sit at Oracle Arena and began their first-round rematch with the Grizzlies.

The Warriors were much more serious in this game than in the last one.

Give the Grizzlies a lot of respect.

Then the result was that the Warriors got into shape very quickly, suppressing the Grizzlies from the beginning and constantly widening the point difference.

At halftime, the Warriors led by as many as 28 points.

At halftime, in the visiting team's locker room, Randolph was not even in the mood to mobilize his teammates this time.

If we are so far behind, we really have no permanent hope.

In the end, the main force of the Warriors once again clocked in for three quarters. They also beat the Grizzlies by 118 points, 86-32, and successfully rewritten the score to 2-0.

After the game, no one from the Warriors fans laughed at the Grizzlies or booed them, but gave them applause.

Their behavior is really not ridicule, but respect from the bottom of their hearts.

Such a Grizzlies team may be able to defeat other teams with their tenacity and iron-blooded defense.

But it's a pity that they met the Warriors.

Even if he exerted his energy, he could not win a victory.

But this really doesn't mean that they didn't work hard or fight hard. In fact, everything they did was seen by all the fans.

Some teams become lifelong enemies through fighting, and some teams become respectable opponents through fighting. The Grizzlies obviously belong to the latter.

On the same night, the second round of the first round match between the Thunder and the Spurs also came to an end.

The Spurs... lost again.

There is really a high probability that they will fail in this series.

When tactician Popovich meets the talented Thunder team, it really feels like a talent meets a soldier.

Coach Brooks: You play man-to-man defense?I'm singles.

Are you on zone defense?I'm singles.

Do you have unlimited defense changes?I also play singles.

Popovich really wants to curse.

Is this what the head coach is supposed to do?
If Parker and Ginobili hadn't been in peak condition, and if Duncan hadn't actively sought to change many of his statistics to career lows, Popovich believes they would never have been defeated like this by the Thunder.

But now, it’s useless to say anything!

In the East, the Heat made another victory, and the Celtics continued to win thrillingly.

This time, they relied on Garnett's mid-range and steals.

By the playoffs, the Celtics' veterans were getting restless again.

The next day, Su Bai and his teammates moved to Memphis.

They will play G3 and G4 games against the Grizzlies there. On the day of the G3 game, the Grizzlies players once again faced the challenge from the Warriors with full energy.

Before the game, the Grizzlies were ready to fight until the last minute.

They know clearly that this may be their last and best chance to avoid a sweep.

Therefore, the Grizzlies played very resolutely from the beginning.

The Grizzlies were in better shape this night than in the previous two games, but...

The strength gap between the two teams is really too big.

Moreover, Coach Nelson will also arrange targeted tactics, which makes the Grizzlies' already low hope of winning even more slim.

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Grizzlies 108-96, defeating the Grizzlies without any blood, and rewritten the big score to 3-0.

It's only a matter of time before this Grizzlies team gets swept.

As if stimulated by the Warriors, the other top three teams in the Eastern and Western Conferences also fought hard and won away games one after another!

There were 8 duels, 6 of which were 3-0, and the drive to advance was very obvious.

Only the Spurs and Magic, the two fourth-place teams, were tied 1-2, and were still the ones lagging behind.

These two teams are really more and more likely to be defeated in the end.

Against this background, the Warriors continued their campaign in Memphis and ushered in their first-round match point match.

Although they were likely to be swept that night, both Grizzlies players and fans were still full of energy that night and showed no signs of depression.

This Grizzlies team really has distinctive characteristics.

Su Bai couldn't help but lament that as long as this spirit persists, this Grizzlies team may not win the championship in a short time, but as long as they find their destiny child, they will definitely become a strong team in the league!

Amid the crazy cheers of the Grizzlies fans, Marc Gasol successfully moved the ball back to the Grizzlies half, officially kicking off the battle.

Conley steadily controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and then directed his teammates to play tactics.

After three games, both sides knew the basics, so the Grizzlies did not use complicated tactics. Conley passed the ball to Randolph in the low post.

Randolph, the "black bear," was in very good shape in this series. Anderson couldn't guard him alone, so O'Neal chose to help defend after leaving Gasol open.

Seeing that he was about to be double-teamed, Randolph faked a pass and forced O'Neal to take a reverse hook shot.

Anderson tried his best to interfere this time.

But Randolph was very tough and still delivered the ball softly.

"Bang!" "Swish!"

The basketball hit the board and passed through the net, making a crisp sound.

0-2, Randolph took the lead for the Grizzlies.

Randolph roared after scoring.

The black bear roars into the sky!

However, looking back, Su Bai ran without the ball, caught the ball and scored with a throw.

The Grizzlies looked very impressive tonight, and Su Bai was willing to fire from the beginning and give them respect.

The Grizzlies' second attack was to attack the inside.

Gasol's mid-range shot missed due to interference from O'Neal.

"Oh!"

However, Randolph used his skillful skills to complete the reverse blocking, then jumped high to grab the offensive rebound and pushed the ball back into the basket!

2 to 4, the Grizzlies took the lead again.

At the scene, the cheers were a little loud!
Randolph scored 4 points in a row, which really gave them a lot of confidence.

Grizzlies fans really don’t think about winning the game so much anymore. As long as they win in the moment, it’s already something to be proud of, isn’t it?
The opponent is that legendary Warriors team!
On the court, the Grizzlies players seemed to be influenced by Randolph and the fans at the scene. They began to fight crazily, seizing every opportunity and doing every detail.

At this point in the fight, winning or losing really doesn't matter anymore.

Now they just want to enjoy the process and show their fighting spirit to the Grizzlies fans.

Halfway through the first quarter, the score on the court reached 15-15.

Although the Grizzlies still couldn't guard against the Warriors' unstoppable offense, their wild offensive performance helped them keep the score in a stalemate.

For the Grizzlies, this was a really good performance.

At this moment, taking advantage of the dead ball, Nelson replaced Azubuike, Stephen Jackson and DeAndre Jordan.

Except for Beverley not playing, this is almost the Warriors' strongest defensive lineup.

With the Warriors' quick defense, Randolph's magic is no longer there, and the Grizzlies' perimeter is also hitting the ground under the Warriors' quick defense.

The head coach of the Grizzlies also let go, regardless of defense at this time, and directly replaced three three-point shooters on the outside.

But don’t tell me, this trick is really effective!
Randolph can't really defend the Warriors if he attacks the Warriors in the low post, but if he helps defend, Randolph can pass the ball to his teammates.

Or give the ball to Gasol and let him provide support.

As a result, the two sides were at a stalemate.

After halftime, the score on the court came to 55 to 63.

The Grizzlies' defense was obviously not as good as the first three games, but their offense really caused a lot of trouble for the Warriors.

"Black Bear" Randolph, who was in excellent condition, really brought a big surprise to Memphis fans this night.

To be honest, trailing by 8 points at halftime is something that neither the five-star Lakers nor the Heat's three golden giants could do in the regular season.

However, although the Grizzlies are not far behind, not many people think they can really beat the Warriors.

After all, they performed exceptionally well in the first half. As long as their state drops slightly, it will really take minutes for the Warriors to quickly widen the point difference.

But Grizzlies fans didn't think so much. To achieve this level, the Grizzlies players are already their heroes.

In the second half, Randolph's offensive efficiency began to decline under the Warriors' attack, but Gasol and the Grizzlies' outside players also stepped up in time. As a result, the third quarter ended 83 to 92!

The score difference is still deadlocked.

The Grizzlies really saw a glimmer of hope of winning!

It's a pity that Randolph consumed too much physical energy in the first three quarters, and by the fourth quarter his physical energy could not be sustained at all.

The Grizzlies' offensive efficiency dropped sharply after losing Randolph, their absolute offensive strength. In the end, the Grizzlies lost the game by 103 points 119 to 16.

However, despite losing, they were swept.

At the end of the game, all the fans stood up and applauded wildly to cheer for the Grizzlies players.

The Grizzlies lost, but in a sense, they also won!

After the game, Su Bai hugged Randolph, who scored 32 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks.

This big black bear really brought them too much trouble tonight, but it also won Su Bai's respect.

Such an opponent is what Su Bai dreams of!
