Chapter 1074 Unexpected Fierce Confrontation

"The two sides of this game don't need to be introduced, everyone is already very familiar with it. The original Ji Feng was also a member of the Grizzlies, and he also took the first step to the world here, but with the passage of time, the Grizzlies have Although Xiong has little to do with the grizzly bear where Ji Feng is, he still has not escaped the fate of the last few in the West, but Ji Feng is no longer a fledgling boy, he has already proved his strength in Los Angeles, look. Looking at his achievements, it's hard to imagine that he's only celebrating his 20th birthday today."

"Here we also wish Ji Feng a victory on his 20th birthday, and to surpass his predecessor Larry Hughes here." Yu Jia said before the start of the game.

"Guide Zhang, what kind of trend do you think this game will play?" Yu Jia, who had blessed Ji Feng, asked Gui Jiao as usual. In fact, this is also a pre-match comment that many fans like to watch, because as we all know, Director Zhang is a Die-hard Lakers fans are also die-hard Ji Bhui, so Ji Feng's fans all want to hear how Coach Zhang views this game.

However, contrary to the expectations of all fans, Director Zhang did not directly say that the Lakers must win or something, but said bluntly: "This game does not seem to be a problem. The Celtics have won 7 more games, which is basically the end of the league's first suspense this season, while the Grizzlies have only won 8 games in total, and they are now ranked 12th in the Western Conference. Getting into the playoffs is more difficult.”

"But the Grizzlies team is different from the other weak teams. He is young, aggressive, and dares to rush. Once he has an advantage on the court, or you make him comfortable, it can really last forever. Scoring, especially Mayo and Gay, both of whom have good offensive ability, so the Lakers must pay attention, start well, and don't let the Grizzlies gain momentum."

Zhang's words were also recognized by Yu Jia, but he believed that as long as the Lakers played normally, winning would not be a problem.

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the screen switched back to Staples. The starting ten players on both sides were all in place. Ji Feng and Milicic and other acquaintances greeted each other and stood with Guy, their arms were already crossed. Up, and Bynum and Milicic have stood in the middle of the circle ready to kick off.

Scramble!

Bynum pressed Milicic to get the first goal, Ji Feng was going to get the ball, but Gay kept using his own strength to interfere with Ji Feng, and the ball was hit too far. Fortunately, Kobe had a quick eye and was in time for Mei. Ao between the ball to get!

However, Mayo quickly defended on the spot and used close pressing against Kobe, while the rest of the Grizzlies quickly returned to defense. After they settled down, they continued to physically confront the Lakers, even the ones who were often criticized for being soft. Milicic was also unexpectedly entangled with Bynum and looked very tough.

At this time, the close-up of the TV broadcast happened to capture this scene. The astute photographer also found that Ji Feng and Guy were also entangled on the other side. Guy kept disturbing Ji Feng’s position with small movements, and Mayo also Match up with Kobe.

But Kobe was still the same Kobe. After seeing that he didn't have a good chance to pass the ball, he simply stopped passing it. He asked Gasol to go up, Ji Feng screened, and after the triangle attack came out, Kobe forced a breakthrough on the flank, but Mayo Also tough, constantly backing up and not losing position.

But Kobe was still the same Kobe. He dribbled the ball directly behind his back halfway, and swayed Mayo to make a reverse breakthrough. It happened that the inside line was also pushed out of neutral by Bynum, but when Mayo saw this scene, he simply attacked!

"Beep!" The referee whistled for a foul!

"I have to say that the Grizzlies defended very resolutely and played very hard. They didn't hesitate to make a foul. It seems that they take this game very seriously," said Yu Jia, a commentator from CCTV.

"There's nothing wrong with that, and that's why they can beat many strong teams this season," Zhang said.

The game continued, Dajia served from the sideline. This was not a free throw foul, so the Lakers reorganized the positional battle. This time Ji Feng was handed over to the inside line and then pulled away. Bynum was forced to eat with his back, but the ball was interfered by Milicic. Can't get in!

And Warrick next door quickly took off the backcourt rebound. This is his ability. Warrick was the No. 2 figure in Syracuse University back then. He was called Pippen next to Anthony. , but his jumping ability is absolutely superb. He can take off many times in a row, which even Anthony laments. He is also the biggest rebounding guarantee for the Grizzlies. He has averaged 3 offensive boards per game this season, second in the league.

Varick gets the ball and hands it to Conley, and the Grizzlies start the offense!

Conley dribbles the ball. The Grizzlies have played a very thorough positional battle this season. It can be seen from the fact that they have accumulated a lot of inside lines. They value the inside line very much, but their inside line is mainly defense and support, and the offensive end is basically Mayo and Gay have a one-on-one play and pick-and-roll on the two weak sides.

As can be seen from the scores of the two of them, Gay averaged 20 points per game and Mayo averaged 18 points per game.

Therefore, the Lakers' defense should be concentrated on them. Because of the tough defense of the Grizzlies just now, the hearts of the Lakers' generals were also ignited. They dared to be so arrogant in their territory, so their defense was equally tight.

The hand-to-hand combat between Ji Feng and Gay went from the bottom line to the other. Gay couldn't get rid of Ji Feng through the pick and roll, and Mayo next door was also caught in Kobe's defense and couldn't extricate himself.

Conley has no choice but to pass inside. He is not an offensive defender after all, but although the ball was passed to Varick, he has no advantage over Gasol. He is only 206 cm. Er is half head short in front of him, and he is not a skilled man. His personal attack can only turn over a jumper, but there is not much time, so he can only turn his back and make a strong shot.

boom!

Same iron!

Bynum rebounds!

The two teams did not score the first offense, which basically set the tone for this game. The Grizzlies changed their previous characteristics of only attacking and not defending, and actually began to take the initiative to defend, and it was not an ordinary defense.

The Lakers attacked again. This time Ji Feng received the basketball ahead of schedule. After a two-on-one pick-and-roll with Kobe, Ji Feng was ready to shoot, but unexpectedly, Mayo did not go with Kobe, he directly chose to double-team Ji Feng!

Fortunately, Ji Feng was alert and threw the ball to Kobe at this moment. Kobe caught the ball and threw it and scored the first goal of the game!

"It seems that the Grizzlies are very afraid of Ji Feng," Zhang said.

"It's true, the Grizzlies sent a lot of troops today, let's see how the Lakers will respond." Yu Jia added.

And the Lakers' response is to defend against defense. If you double-team me, then I will double-team you even more fiercely!

After several rounds, Gay and Mayo did not get the ball!

And it wasn't until the 5th minute of the first quarter that Mayo got the first point.

The Lakers are similar here. The Grizzlies' defense is equally tight. The two teams unexpectedly scored 19-19 in the first quarter!

The game was unexpectedly intense!
