The Grizzlies, who are good at defense, are used to bringing other teams into their own rhythm, thus relying on their rich experience to defeat their opponents.

If you want to get rid of the Grizzlies' defensive quagmire, you must either use strong offensive firepower to break down the iron barrel formation, or you can only defend honestly with the opponent.

The former applies to teams that are stronger than the Grizzlies, and the latter applies to teams that are as strong as the Grizzlies.

Obviously, the Trail Blazers fit the former category.

During the timeout, the Trail Blazers players gathered around Coach Terry to listen to the next tactics.

"Do a good job on defense and play more inside on the offensive end. We are younger and more durable than our opponents."

Coach Terry didn't have any clever ideas for the Grizzlies, a rock in the hut. After several decisions, he chose to fight a stalemate with the opponent.

"Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep beep, beep beep beep", the game begins, both sides are still on the field with the same lineup.

The game then returned to the first few minutes of the game.

Grizzlies possession.

Rudy Gay's offense has the shadow of Tracy McGrady, and he has also learned a lot about his spirit. He actively moves without the ball, finds the right time to cut to the basket, receives a pass from Mike Conley, and stops in a wide open space to take a mid-range shot.

Hollow hit!

Rudy Gay has the demeanor of one of the four major shooting guards of the year, and mid-range shooting is his favorite and best scoring method.

The Trail Blazers served a baseline kick, and many Grizzlies fans discovered that the opponent's offensive rhythm had changed. The opponent began to slowly look for opportunities and improve their success rate.

After competing in the Olympics, Wang Zelin and Marc Gasol are considered a pair of acquaintances who get along well in private. They like each other very well and may even become friends.

But now, according to the ethics of professional players, Wang Zelin will never do anything to Marc Gasol.

"Trail Blazers No. 36 received the ball in the low post, and our Bear King came forward to meet him. A war between two giants!"

In today's era of outside players dominating the league, some old fans, including Hubie Brown, saw this scene on the court and couldn't help but recall the duel between centers in the last century.

It was a hand-to-hand fight between men!

In this era, there are only a handful of giants who can be called giants, and hand-to-hand combat between centers is even rarer.

It just so happens that the numbers 36 and 33 on the field can bring back fond memories of the old days among old fans.

Relying on his brute strength and tonnage advantage, Wang Zelin easily entered the penalty area with a few back blows. He stepped heavily with his right foot inward and used it as an axis. He turned around quickly and powerfully and completely defeated Marc Gasol's position.

Zach Randolph on the left quickly pounced over, trying to steal the chicken again.

Wang Zelin smiled contemptuously, jumped up on his feet, ignored the "rotten tofu" in front of him, and vigorously exploded the basket on the spot.

After completing the dunk, Wang Zelin roared directly at Randolph who was knocked out of bounds.

This provocative move made the home audience boo loudly.

When passing by the sidelines, some spectators even stood up and shouted.

"Go home and change your diaper, you Chinese boy, this is not a rose garden!"

"Zach, kill that Asian guy!"

"..."

"A dunk! Our other Bear King was dunked!"

“What a terrible feeling!”

Hubby Brown shook his head helplessly.

The game continued and it was back to the Grizzlies' offensive round.

With overwhelming anger, Zach Randolph came to the frontcourt and asked for a change of position. He put up his arm to block Wang Zelin behind him, and opened his hand to demand.

After receiving the ball, Zach Randolph faked a layup. Seeing Wang Zelin's body shaking, he quickly turned around and broke into the penalty area, preparing to respond with a dunk.

However, Zach Randolph, the black bear, still underestimated Wang Zelin's speed. When he completed his turn, Wang Zelin moved quickly towards the penalty area.

The moment the black bear just took off, Wang Zelin raised his arm and slapped it.

"Snapped!"

Blocked the Grizzlies offense.

Lillard reacted very quickly, bent down and dived to the basket, grabbing the rebound that Wang Zelin blocked.

Counterattack advances!

Lillard went straight to Longtan alone and caused a defensive foul from Rudy Gay in the Grizzlies paint area.

"Uh-huh."

One free throw hit.

"Whoosh!"

Two free throws!

At 12:8, the score difference came to 4 points.

Since the Grizzlies were able to break into the Western Conference Finals this season, they are definitely not ordinary people. Their patience and tenacity have exceeded everyone's imagination.

Mike Conley organized the offense in a leisurely manner. First, Marc Gasol received the ball in the high post to attract the defense. After the ball came to Randolph, he did not take credit and continued to pass the ball.

It wasn't until the last three seconds left in this offensive round that Rudy Gay once again ran out of the open space and hit a mid-range shot.

Rudy Gay, who averages a stable around 20 points per game, is the Grizzlies' leading scorer, or the interim coach has developed a large number of offensive tactics for him.

These include off-ball movement, car blocking, alley-oops, etc.

The Blazers also made several passes. The basketball was intercepted by Tony Allen in the air as it flew to Matthews on the baseline.

Tony Allen is indeed one of the "Kobe Bryant Terminators" in the hearts of fans, and he has also received high praise from the latter.

96's perimeter defense is the highest among NBA perimeter players Wang Zelin has ever seen, and he has the resources to compete for the best defensive player.

After ten years of mutual promotion, perhaps only the Black Mamba at his peak and Kawhi, who is preparing to mature, can surpass the current Tony Allen in terms of defensive capabilities.

Unfortunately, 68's physical strength limits Tony Allen's upper limit of achievements.

If Ginobili is called "Jordan for 20 Minutes", then Tony Allen can be called "Defensive Player of the Year for 20 Minutes!"

If you don't care about life and death, do it if you don't accept it!

This is Tony Allen's defensive creed.

Now, his goal is the Trail Blazers' No. 0 player!

…

The constant fighting, the fierce confrontation, and the attacking rhythm like an old lady crossing the road are the epitome of this game.

Until the last attack of the third quarter, the score between the two sides was only 67:62, with the Trail Blazers trailing the Grizzlies by 5 points.

At this time, Lillard led the bench to fight on the court.

As for Wang Zelin and Aldridge, their frequent inside attacks consume a lot of energy.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Especially Wang Zelin, he has played 23 minutes in this game so far, and Coach Terry controls his playing time very tightly.

Wang Zelin, who was sitting on the bench, was sweating profusely and his lungs were about to explode.

He always felt that these three quarters against the Grizzlies were much more tiring than a usual game.

In addition to some factors of back-to-back away games, the Grizzlies' unique hand-to-hand combat made Wang Zelin feel uncomfortable when he encountered this defensive treatment for the first time.

Return to the field.

Lillard received Batum's return pass from outside the left three-point line.

Tony Allen gave up on Batum and quickly came to Lillard.

"Hoo! Hoo..."

Even an iron man as strong as Lillard was overwhelmed by Tony Allen.

Especially the opponent's constant physical contact made Lillard's energy drain away very quickly.

I took a look at the remaining attack time... there are still 11 seconds left.

Lillard gasped and asked his teammates to pull away, and he wanted to handle the ball himself.

“I haven’t seen such an interesting rookie in a long time!”

Tony Allen spread his arms and stared at the prey in front of him with his scarlet eyes.

4 of 13 shots... 10 points!

This is the data Lillard surrendered under Tony Allen's defense, which can be said to be very bad.

But Lillard never showed any discouragement on his face, and his continued high fighting spirit was greatly appreciated by Tony Allen.

He suddenly remembered the black mamba on the west coast!

This guy No. 0 has some of the qualities of the Black Mamba.

9 seconds.

8 seconds.
