Chapter 224 Mutual restraint, each with its own characteristics

McConley dribbled the ball across the half court, and Curry didn't even go to lead the defense. The Grizzlies would not play fast anyway, and the center could calmly return to the half court to defend.

The Grizzlies are willing to go down to attack because they have the black and white bears, the two big inside killers. For Bogut and Green, it is not a good memory to meet the Grizzlies.

The last time they faced the Grizzlies, it also required Zhang Xin and others to keep flanking them to curb the performance of the black and white bears.

Not to mention Green and Bogut, other teams in the league have no headaches when they encounter black and white bears.

Chuck Hayes said of Zach Randolph:

"He's one of the toughest big men in the league. He's a big guy who is good at using the body. He can use his strength to push the space. When he rushes into the paint, you are very difficult to guard him. .After he gets in, all he needs is a little more space."

Randolph's touch is very soft, he only needs a little space to throw the ball in, which makes Green very painful.

Green is 201cm tall and weighs 104KG. Zach Randolph is 206cm tall and weighs 118KG. They are not as tall or as heavy as Randolph. Moreover, Randolph is still a big man with a soft touch and a little bit of space. A shooter, Green hates that type of player.

McConley knew Green's pain, the enemy's pain was his joy, so he repeatedly gave the ball to Randolph for singles.

Randolph blocked Green to catch the ball, Green caught Randolph's back with his hands, and pushed Randolph hard, Randolph sank down, and punched in, Green was knocked half a step away, Randolph turned around and Press Green to wipe the board and hit!

Randolph smiled. A player like Green is not afraid to defend him.

"Randolph's inside singles are indeed difficult to defend. Green, a very powerful defender, still has a hard time blocking Randolph's brutal charge. Randolph's handwork is so good! This is already Randolph in Green. We scored the second goal against the defense," said Kenny Smith.

Zach Randolph was indeed difficult to guard against. Zhang Xin signaled the flanks to double-team. Thompson, Curry and others all nodded to show their understanding.

Curry dribbled the ball across the half court and directed the movement while wearing braces. Zhang Xin helped Thompson cover at the elbow and blocked Courtney Lee. Tony Allen hurriedly chased Thompson, and Courtney Lee hurriedly bypassed Zhang Xin , Zhang Xin was evacuated in front of him, and Curry hit the ground and passed the ball to Zhang Xin.

Zhang Xin turned around and caught shoot!CIC shot!Hit!

Zhang Xin turned back and pointed at Curry: "Good job! Stephen!"

Curry smiled brightly.

The cost-effectiveness of mid-range shots is not high, that is, shooting against people or making two points. If there is an opportunity to shoot open shots like Zhang Xin, most teams can't wait for it.

McConley tasted the sweetness in the interior and still lobbed the ball to Randolph. Now Zhang Xin went straight to Randolph without hesitation.

Randolph was so satisfied that he wanted to continue playing Green single-handedly. Seeing Zhang Xin coming to double-team him, he felt displeased, but he could only pass the ball out, and it was Tony Allen who was let out.

Tony Allen made a decisive three-point shot, but his 34.5% three-point shooting rate was still a bit shabby, and it was iron!

"Tony Allen's defense is top-notch, but the offensive requirements really can't be too much. This is a player with clear advantages and disadvantages. Although he is not good at offense, but with him, the offense of the Memphis Grizzlies can be at least half stronger A grade." Charles Barkley said with a smile.

Tony Allen's bitter face became a little more bitter.

Bogut caught Marc Gasol and controlled the rebound. Bogut nodded in satisfaction and got a rebound.

When the Warriors play against a strong defensive team like the Grizzlies, they constantly use screens and air cuts to cut their defenses, and it is not easy to make their defenses form a whole.

Constantly use running to attract their attention, so that they can only focus on their defenders, so that screens and pick-and-rolls can maximize their effectiveness.

Because when you focus on one person, it is difficult for you to pay attention to the changes around you. This is also the time when the pick-and-roll screen is most effective.

Thompson and Zhang Xin interspersed back and forth, and Green and Bogut continued to provide cover.

After several off-ball screens, when the Grizzlies' players couldn't pay attention to other people, Zhang Xin blocked Courtney Lee for Thompson at the free throw line.

Thompson made an empty cut around Zhang Xin, Green made a good pass to Thompson, and Thompson made a layup.

"A team like the Warriors is really a headache. Such frequent cuts and screen runs dazzled even our onlookers. Not to mention the players on the field, only the Grizzlies have excellent defensive discipline. Only in this kind of frequent movement can the Warriors barely miss people, but if they want to do better, they will not be able to, unless it is in the playoffs, they can engage in high-intensity physical confrontation, so that the Warriors' movement It doesn't go well," Shaq said with a laugh.

Both sides have played their own characteristics, but neither has played what they are best at:
What the Warriors are best at should be switching offenses, which is what the Warriors are most willing to play.

Passing and cutting is a conventional tactic when falling into position. Generally speaking, the Warriors are more willing to switch, and the Warriors' wave flow is generally achieved through switching offenses;

The combination of inside and outside that the Grizzlies are good at has not been played out. Coach Dave Jogel is not very satisfied with the fact that the inside line has been overwhelmed.

The outside touch needs to be cultivated. Once you play inside for a long time, whether you can maintain your physical strength is one thing. If the outside touch is cold, should you rely on the inside to end the game?

Zhang Xin came off the field in the half quarter and scored 6 points, 3 assists and 4 rebounds. For Zhang Xin, it can only be said to be quite satisfactory. Zhang Xin mainly covers for his teammates on the court, runs and passes the ball. Point chance hits, get six points.

There are not many statistics, but Zhang Xin enjoys this style of play. Breaking the record is fun, but it is also very tiring. Like winning a quadruple double, scoring a record in a single quarter, and scoring 82 points in the game, it was not exhausting like a dog that time.

It's much easier to play like this, cover for teammates, then take the ball to assist teammates, catch a few shots when you have the opportunity, and get a triple-double easily after a game, and feel happy.

The season is too long, it is impossible for Zhang Xin to be too tense every game, as long as he can play normally.

It's just that Zhang Xin is not destined to be easy against a strong opponent like the Grizzlies. He can fish in troubled waters in the starting lineup, but when he leads the team alone, he needs to take responsibility.

At the end of the first quarter, the score difference between the two sides was not much, the score was 28:26, and the Grizzlies' defense was still strong, making a team like the Warriors less than 30 points in a single quarter.
