Nash's idea is good, and the Grizzlies' side is doing well.

However, without Sun Ce, without Gasol Jr., relying on Paul George to defend in tandem, the difference is too far, and it is very important to note that Beverley, Jimmy Butler, and Larry Sanders, the three teammates, Paul George has too little experience working together, which leads to the obvious exposure of the weaknesses of the two defenses.

The combination of Paul, JR-Smith, Leonard, Ci Shiping, and Jamison sent by the Lakers was fast and able to play, and they played a wave of 12-5 in 3 minutes, and the difference suddenly came to 8 points.

13-21, seeing that the minute difference was about to be stretched to double digits, Coach Hollins hurriedly called a timeout to make adjustments.

The idea is plump, but the reality is skinny.

On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant went down to rest, the strongest scorer was not there, and the Lakers' offense did decline a little, but there were too many quasi-first-class players on the Lakers' side, JR-Smith and Jamison both went on the court and partnered with Paul, with Leonard with excellent athleticism, and the offensive state after losing weight is almost the best Ci Shiping since joining the Lakers, not that the Grizzlies can guard against this lineup!

In another two years, Beverley and Jimmy Butler will grow up and have more time to develop a tacit understanding on defense, and defense will be fine, but it hasn't grown yet.

The Lakers' lineup is not very good defensively, although Paul's defense is good, but he is just a small point guard, strong in single defense and supplementary defense, and cannot defend in tandem;

Leonard is still young, B+ level defense, quasi-first-class level, may have a chance to break through to the first-class edge or even first-class level after this season, but at present there is still a lot of distance from the second defense, originally he was selected for the second defense for the first time in the 13-14 season;

Ci Shiping regained his form on the offensive end after losing weight, but his defense was not as good as in the past few years; JR-Smith and Jamison are both types of offense and defense...... The point is that the Grizzlies don't play well on their own side!

Beverley has no problem pushing and protecting the ball, and so is Paul George's overhead passing......

But Randolph's side played Ci Shiping, and with the help of Paul or Jamison, he didn't score two shots, and he didn't grab the offensive rebound, or rely on Larry Sanders' second attack when Paul George faced Leonard's single jump shot missed, and Beverley hit a catch-and-shoot three-pointer, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to score 5 points!

On the other hand, the Lakers played a fast break, 6 offenses, 4 of 5 shots, except for Paul's own chase three-point chase was fanned by Paul George, the other 5 offenses scored 4 goals, and also caused a foul and two free throws!

Coach Hollins found it too careless, and the last game of the preseason defense against Irving led to their overconfidence.

Sun Ce and Gasol Jr. are not there, and the most critical link is missing on the defensive end!

However, the game had only been played for more than a quarter, and before it was time to panic, Coach Hollins calmly made a rotation.

No longer playing defense, the opponent's players who didn't shoot well in the first quarter were replaced, JR-Smith and Jamison, two players who can shoot three-pointers, plus Leonard and Ci Shiping, who have strong impact, and Paul, the superstar point guard with the best passing in the league, resharpened the defense, and it was their Grizzlies who consumed the most.

Coach Hollins brought on the lineup of Nash, Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Yi Jianlian, and Larry Sanders.

……

Sun Ce pursed his lower lip and walked onto the court, watching the opposite side replace Ci Shiping, sending a combination of Paul, JR Smith, Leonard, Josh Smith, and Jamison.

If last year, Sun Ce was not afraid of this combination at all, Randolph went to the inside to chisel, opened the offensive end, and locked the opposite side as soon as the defensive end made a force.

But now, it's their Grizzlies who can't open up the situation on the offensive end!

So their Grizzlies sent a run-and-gun lineup, unable to take advantage of Kobe's rest time to lay an advantage, but could only find a way to chase points.

Coming back from a timeout, the Grizzlies attacked, the ball went forward, and Sun Ce sent the ball to Nash, cutting in from the left side.

When Nash received the ball, Yi Jianlian had already taken Josh Smith out to block and dismantle, Nash did not borrow the block and dismantle, and hung directly in the middle, Sun Ce leaned on Leonard to receive the ball and stepped into the inside, crashed into Jamison, and changed the ball from the right hand to the left hand while pushing away from the opponent to avoid the interference of Leonard, who was chasing closely, and hit a layup with his left hand with his back to the basket.

Leonard was beaten by Sun Ce to show a black question mark face.

Seeing Sun Ce's sideways layup with two steps after receiving the ball, the ball didn't dribble, and he scored from the left side of the three-second zone to the basket...... Sun Ce can make such a move, so big, it's no problem to step into the basket from the left side of the three-second zone in two steps, Leonard is not surprised, but how can Sun Ce's confrontation be so strong?

It's not the same person as last year!

Sun Ce's incredible explosiveness, Leonard felt it last season, but this season, Sun Ce's confrontation has also improved, and he can rely on static confrontation to grasp a better opportunity to cut or squeeze into the inside.

With Sun Ce ready to exert his strength, Nash's just right pass, Leonard of B+ level defense and Jamison of C-level defense did not have much chance to defend.

15-21, the difference was narrowed to 6 points, and it will not be immediately expanded to a 10-point difference for the time being.

Leonard was stunned for a moment and immediately picked up the ball and sent it, and the Lakers started a fast break!

Playing fast is the biggest change the Lakers have made this season!

The Lakers' style of play is dominated by fast offense, and the defense is under the command of Mike Brown to try to defend.

When Paul, Leonard, and Josh Smith appeared together, the Lakers' defense was already very good, and after a few rounds, Sun Ce was very happy, fortunately he appeared with Nash, with Klay Thompson, a catch-and-shoot shooter, and Yi Jianlian's impact and blocking, otherwise the opponent suddenly replaced Josh Smith with Ci Shiping, who performed well on the offensive end, to strengthen the defense, and their Grizzlies may be sniped on the offensive end.

Nash instigated the team to run and bomb, cooperated with Yi Jianlian to contain Shh Highsmith, and Sun Ce used as an offensive arrow to impact the opponent's relatively weak defensive line and basket...... Under the leadership of the experienced Nash, the Grizzlies did not continue to be widened by the Lakers.

But at the beginning of the second quarter, after Kobe Bryant came on the court, he scored two three-pointers and a catch and dunked in a wave, scoring 8 points in a row, helping the Lakers play a wave of 8-4, Sun Ce scored two consecutive rounds of counter-running, but the difference actually widened from 6 points to 10 points!

26-36, playing to the 2nd minute and 21 seconds of the second quarter, the Grizzlies called a timeout again!

Sun Ce watched Kobe Bryant come out and score coldly, compared to the sharp Kobe Bryant in the past...... Sun Ce feels that the current Kobe Bryant is more like a poisonous snake!
