649 Tough Games

Randolph, Gasol Jr. and Mayo's joint team was indeed miraculous. The three of them played a tactic similar to the Bulls' triangle when they came on the court. Randolph attacked at low post, and Chamberlain pushed Gibson away to personally guard the defense. In this way, Gasol Jr. became a misplaced defense. As soon as he got the ball, the Warriors sent two players to double-team. Mayo cut in the middle, Gasol Jr. passed the ball and made a throw shot.

But the combination of Chamberlain and Curry is also a perfect match. The former attracted double teams and passed the ball to him, and Curry took the ball to a long shot with a three-pointer. Then Curry broke through and disrupted the Grizzlies' defense line. He immediately passed the ball to Chamberlain, and the latter cut the open and ran back and received the ball and dunked it.

Old Nelson applauded with satisfaction. Chamberlain and Curry are the core of the Warriors' internal and external forces in the future. Even if they are powerful like Jordan, Pippen and Rodman will still be helped. As the saying goes, one hero and three helpers, no matter how powerful Chamberlain is, it will be perfect.

The two sides were hard to solve. After the first half, they relied on Chamberlain to face Hades before, Tabit scored 9 points in a row, and the Warriors led the Grizzlies by 3 points 58-55.

"The advantage of three-pointers is too unsafe. In the third quarter, the Memphis rely on their inside line. Obviously, those two big men didn't know what happened today, but they broke out. However, after the game, I will supervise the league to give them urine tests. Fuck, this is unreasonable." Old Nelson told a group of players in the locker room.

He said it was right, the three-point advantage was too unsafe. At the beginning of the third quarter, Guy received a long-range three-pointer from Marcus Williams, which even widened the gap. Old Nelson kept glaring.

The Warriors launched a counterattack, but Chamberlain missed the layup, and Iverson made a breakthrough mistake, and the start was very unsatisfactory. The Grizzlies started firing from the outside around Randolph and Gasol Jr., and Mayo was stared at by West for a desperate chance, but Gay's firepower suddenly opened, and he scored a small climax of 82 in less than 2 minutes to expand the lead to 4 points.

Old Nelson grinned and called for a timeout. What the hell is going on? The fans of the Grizzlies cheered very enthusiastically. Their team performed so well today.

However, the overly excited Grizzlies then made mistakes one after another. Mayo first dribbled the ball to West, and West passed the ball to Iverson, who scored a fast break layup. Then Randolph was a little too proud and actually made a layup against Chamberlain. There was no doubt that Chamberlain gave him a comfortable big hat, which made him look like a hat.

Gasol Jr. also began to make mistakes against Chamberlain. He tried to break through in front of the latter. When he changed direction in front of the body, Chamberlain stole it. The Warriors chased and hit a 83 counterattack climax, not only regained the disadvantage score, but also overtook 1 point.

Chamberlain took on the heavy responsibility of the Warriors' offense. Because he won the championship without making any efforts in the finals, Chamberlain actually underestimated the league's opponents. It turns out that this is very dangerous. Who is not a pride of heaven if you can enter the NBAR spoon? Their system restrains magic in the finals does not mean that they are invincible in the league now. For example, if they are asked to fight magic now, they may lose. Carter and Howard are now in a prosperous relationship.

Chamberlain launched a strong attack, and the Grizzlies' inside duo would be defeated. The main reason was that Randolph did not work hard in defense, and Gasol alone could not withstand him. Before half of this quarter, Chamberlain scored 10 points in his personal score. Hollins kept shouting at the double-team at the top of his voice, but Chamberlain took too fast. After getting the ball, he would either shoot or pass the ball at most for three seconds, and would not give his opponent a chance to double-team him.

Randolph was really excited today. He taught Chamberlain a lesson and played the offensive kaleidoscope. He hooked his hand at low post, changed direction and jumped from behind. Chamberlain personally went to guard him, but his shooting percentage remained high. Bill Walton praised Randolph and said: "He played the highest level in his career. If he can maintain such a height in the future, his body will be worth 20 million."

Both sides were very serious in defense, but the results were not good, so they simply started to play offensive tactics together, so the gap between the two teams was still difficult to widen.

At a stalemate, Billups, who returned again, made a contribution. He made two consecutive three-pointers, and the Mayo man shot the opposite side.

Randolph asked for the ball at the basket, Chamberlain followed behind, he made a few moves on his back, and suddenly passed the ball to the outside line, Marcus Williams received the ball and jumped up, and the same three-pointer hit.

In the third quarter, the two sides fought hard to solve the problem. The Grizzlies successfully disrupted the rhythm. Both sides didn't know how to use tactics and started to fight. At the last moment, Chamberlain dunked 21 at the basket. After hitting the free throw, he helped the Warriors lead by 974 by 5 points.

Gasol, who had already committed 5 fouls in the first three quarters, was very bloody. When he came back in the fourth quarter, West guessed that he didn't dare to take action and attacked him, but he ended up taking Gasol with a big hat. Both sides changed offense and defense, Billups forced Mayo, and West winged to reach out and suddenly stole Mayo's ball.

Blair followed, the Warriors made three-for-two in the frontcourt, West broke through and took a layup to attract the defense and passed it to Blair. The latter's strong body made another contribution at this moment, rushing in and directly knocked Conley and Mayo to dunk.

The Grizzlies encountered a dilemma at the beginning. They missed the shots in a row. The game lasted for two minutes before Gasol Jr. broke the scoring drought with a jump shot from the right.

Immediately afterwards, Randolph made a layup again, Chamberlain responded, and a brilliant change of direction was made after the basket, passing Gasol Jr. and Randolph in succession and dunked into the basket.

However, due to insufficient external height, the Warriors played very hard on the outside defense. The Grizzlies made consecutive shots, although they missed many times, but they also showed their advantage, that is, they could take action as long as they were misaligned after the ball was overturned from the outside.

As soon as Billups saw the rhythm of the game was chaotic again, he immediately shouted: "Everyone should keep it steady, play steadily, give me the ball, Deronti, you back away, don't worry."

West glared at Mayo hatefully, threw the ball to Billups, and Chamberlain pushed Gasol Jr. Running to the basket, suddenly turned around and returned to the high post to help Billups cover. Billups broke through sideways, and the Grizzlies' defense line suddenly became a little confused. Chamberlain followed two steps and retreated again. Billups passed the ball back. The two cooperated in a small range, and Chamberlain made a jump shot.

Hollins put his hands on his hips and looked helpless. He was envious and jealous of Chamberlain's ability. In fact, when he first chose Tabit, who had excellent physical fitness, he hoped that the latter could develop according to Chamberlain's prospects: starting from defense, developing offensive skills step by step, and finally practicing his steps, he sent Tabit to Olajuwon training camp just to lay the foundation.

Mayo broke through and wanted to make a foul, but Guy and Gasol Jr. gave him a double pick-and-roll, but they rushed in and didn't meet the opponent. Mayo was originally rushing to someone, so he could only change his strategy halfway. As soon as his steps were chaotic, Ibaka came up and nailed the ball to the rebound with a slap.

Gasol was able to stop Ibaka just now, but he didn't dare to take action because he had committed fouls for five times. If he tried to block people, he might continue to take fouls and he didn't dare to take risks.

Hollins had to make adjustments, and he replaced Gasol Jr. and sent Tabitt to the second place. Although he had been poor before, Hollins still hoped that Tabitt would not adapt to the NBAR rhythm for a while. They really didn't want to waste such an important draft pick.

After playing, Tabit showed a little light, and he immediately cut the air and cooperated with Conley to get an air relay, which was a common offensive method he used in college.

With one double core in the interior, there was no one who could defend Chamberlain, but the Grizzlies played very hard today. Guy stood up at this critical moment and finally showed his leadership style.

Rudy Guy has excellent physical fitness, height, long arms and amazing bounce ability to often perform gliding and dunking in games. He has comprehensive skills, strong impact and good defensive ability. When he was a rookie, when the Grizzlies faced large-scale injuries in the 2006-07 season, he took on the heavy responsibility of leading the team. Jerry West, then president of the Grizzlies, was very optimistic about Guy, praising him for shooting from any angle, and believed that he was likely to become the next Kobe.

But Guy's idol is not Kobe, but McGrady. Moreover, these two people are so similar. They both have immeasurable talents and all-round temperament, but they are also lazy and seem a little insane on the court from time to time. Guy has a strong attack ability, but he just doesn't have much desire to attack. There is another star in the new generation, which is the little AI Iguodala.

The Warriors lost the ball several times, and Guy was in time to defend the rounds, always blocking the Warriors' breakthrough path on the outside. After he disturbed West's shooting, Tabitt took the rebound and passed it to Conley. Then Guy went to the frontcourt to jump the ball and chase the score.

In another attack from the Grizzlies, Guy forced himself to the inside line with Blair. When he reached the side line of the free throw, he suddenly changed direction and broke through. Chamberlain had to defend himself. Guy immediately passed the ball to Randolph, who scored a jump shot.

Chamberlain looked at the scoreboard, 93-89, their lead was only 4 points, not to be safe.

Without Gasol Jr., the Grizzlies' penalty area was relatively spacious for Chamberlain. He feinted the ball and passed it to West, and then returned to the basket again. West stuck a little ball and threw it at the ring. The two cooperated with an air relay.

Then, Guy played Blair on the outside single, and made a side-gliding jump shot after breaking through, and Chamberlain immediately beat Tabit and scored a small hook. The difference between the two sides always floated around four or five points.

In the last four minutes, when the final battle came, Hollins called a timeout again, replaced Gasol Jr., and changed his tactics at the same time, asking the inside to help cover the outside, so that Guy could take as much as possible.

Old Nelson makes similar arrangements, and the Warriors naturally have to rely on Chamberlain at the last moment. In the third year of the league, he will completely take on this team.

Guy has a strong execution ability. One advantage he has is that he is obedient. After he came on the court, he firmly hit Jackson with his back. The latter has excellent defense and blocked his breakthrough many times. Mayo followed up and asked for the ball. When Guy turned around and passed the ball, West, who followed, squeezed Mayo away and snatched the ball.

The referee blew a whistle and gave West a defensive foul.

The Grizzlies got the ball again, and the 24-second offensive time has been almost exhausted. Mayo took the ball and made a desperate bet outside the three-point line.

Chamberlain shook his head, he asked for the ball at the high position, Rudy Guy followed him to defend, Chamberlain slowly pushed forward, Guyza stance held back Chamberlain, but the latter immediately turned around and changed direction. Guy was shaken and finally stood firm, Chamberlain hit him sideways again, and then knocked him down

Gasol was shocked and ran out to make up for defense. Chamberlain jumped up and scored first in the mid-range shot.

In the last three minutes, both sides were going to die. Bill Walton said solemnly: "At this time of the game, skills and tactics are useless. Next is when the bayonets are getting better. Let's see who has stronger perseverance and who has higher fighting spirit. Now is the real time to test superstars. Let's see how Chamberlain played in the last three minutes, and also see if Guy can be the leader of the Grizzlies."
