So far in the playoffs, the Grizzlies have experienced a wave of nine consecutive wins.

As in the previous two seasons, they were unstoppable in the playoffs. It's not just that there is no team that can defeat the Grizzlies, but there is no team that can even win even one of the Grizzlies' heads.

The Golden State Warriors had high hopes this year, but their first game was a real disappointment.

Just when people are discussing whether the Warriors have the ability to fight the Grizzlies. Game 2 of the series, Steve. Kerr's lineup changed the entire NBA world!

In Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals, the Golden State Warriors continued to fight at the Federal Express Arena. It's a must-win game for them.

For the other teams, being down 3-0 is the end of the world.

But against the Grizzlies, falling behind 0-2 is already the end of the world!

Over the years, the Grizzlies have won all of their first two home games with a 100% chance of winning the entire series!

That said, the Warriors must snatch a win at the Federal Express Arena. Otherwise, the entire series will be basically hopeless.

Therefore, the second game of today's series is also considered a life-and-death battle for the Warriors.

Win, they can continue to compete with the Grizzlies. And once back in Oakland with a 0-2 deficit, there is little need for the Warriors to continue.

Ahead of today's game, there was talk about how Green and Bogut would contain Link. But when the Warriors' starting lineup came on today, everyone was stunned.

Because in their starting lineup, there is no Bogut at all!

"This ...... What is this lineup? Steve. Cole actually used Sean. Livingston replaces Bogut! Right now, the Warriors don't have a center on the court, they don't have any interior line. Draymond with a height of 2.01 meters. Green, directly on the top of the fifth position! Coach Kerr fielded a five-man lineup! ”

Mike. Brin's eyes widened, commenting on NBA games for so many years, this was the first time he had seen such a short and small starter!

It's true that the Grizzlies also played a small lineup with Link as center during the regular season, but that lineup actually only stayed on the court for a short period of time.

And what about the Warriors? They are directly starting with a small lineup!

There is no doubt that this exaggerated starting combination surprised everyone.

Some people say that Cole is crazy, that he is giving up on himself.

Some people think that this change may be a turning point for the Warriors to win the series, anyway, the Warriors' specialty is three-pointers, so it is better to continue to amplify this specialty.

What about Link? Looking at the five Warriors players in front of him, he frowned.

Now in this year's playoffs, he has ushered in his first real challenge!

After the game began, the Grizzlies took advantage of their height advantage to get a second offensive opportunity and beat the Warriors to a 7-0 start.

At this time, everyone was laughing at Cole, thinking that he had been driven crazy to do such an extreme thing.

But after returning from the timeout, the Warriors immediately took advantage of their small lineup.

Their fast and mobile attacks made the game fast-paced, and Gasol struggled to keep up.

The Grizzlies' interior patron saint is equivalent to being completely elevated.

Curry and Thompson also changed their cold hand in the last game, hitting three points in a row, and soon overtook the score.

On the defensive end, Green, a "short man" who is strong enough to top a heavy center, also played a key role.

Gasol repeatedly attacked the inside, but it didn't work well. And once Green grabbed a defensive rebound, Green himself was able to dribble quickly across the halfcourt.

As a result, the pace of the game becomes fast-paced.

Gasol followed Green for a few rounds, and he was basically exhausted. The offensive end can't be played, and the defensive end is out of place once it's deadly, and Gasol, the best defensive player, is in a rather awkward position.

Joggle then brought on Whiteside, and the result was not much better than when Gasol was on the field.

Whiteside's offense is not as good as Gasol's, he relies on brute force to take Green just as well.

Defensively, Whiteside's athleticism, while stronger than Gasol's, is still quite sluggish compared to the Warriors' blistering pace.

Second, the Warriors also boldly used a seven-man rotation. On the bench, except for Speights and Barbossa, everyone else was basically abandoned!

I have to say that Kerr is indeed a very aggressive manager. During the regular season, in order to promote Green, All-Star forward David Brown. Leete: He said no, no, no.

And until now, in order to speed up the pace and for a small lineup, Bogut and others, who have played well before, also said that if you don't need it, you won't need it.

In the playoffs, most coaches actually prefer to use short rotations.

Although the players will play harder, it will keep the strongest players on the field throughout the game.

The Warriors played a half like this with a small lineup, and although the Grizzlies grabbed a lot of offensive rebounds, they still couldn't match the Warriors' quick counterattack.

At halftime, the score became 54-42. The Golden State Warriors entered the second half with a 12-point lead!

"Steve. Kerr's strategy worked, they led the Grizzlies by 12 points at halftime, and they were going to fight back! ”

"The Warriors' small lineup is incredible, it's short, but it's very well balanced on both ends of the floor! Without the defense collapsing, he played an extremely efficient attack! ”

"I have to say, Coach Cole is really bold! As this year's Coach of the Year, he deserves it! ”

Before the game began, people were still questioning Cole's employment. But now, the whole world is crazy about the Warriors' small lineup!

In the second half, Joggle deliberately reduced the playing time of Gasol and Whiteside. The Grizzlies are also prepared for this, and they have practiced a small lineup in closed training before!

Joggle is glad that he listened to Link's advice, and if he hadn't prepared for it, the Warriors could have won the last with this lineup!

Although the Grizzlies also started to use a small lineup, due to the fact that they were too far behind before, and Joggle did not completely abandon the center player.

Therefore, in the end, it was defeated by the Warriors 103-98 at home!

Curry and Green's two key shots in the final moments dragged the Grizzlies from the supreme throne!

The Warriors gave the Grizzlies a taste of their first loss of the playoffs and gave the Grizzlies their first home loss in the playoffs since the 12-13 season.

Cole "made" the key to victory for a whole year, and it finally worked. The inspiration he got from the Grizzlies in the Western Conference Finals last year allowed him to beat the Grizzlies in this year's Western Conference Finals!

"The Warriors have done wonders by making the Grizzlies' dominance less secure!"

"The Grizzlies' invention of the Death Five is now being carried forward by the Warriors! This is the NBA, and there are so many possibilities! ”

"The Warriors will be back in Oakland with a 1-1 scoreline, back to Oracle Arena! There, they will have the opportunity to change the face of the entire Union! ”

The Warriors are completely on fire, and so is the five-small lineup.

Everyone's perception of basketball has also been completely subverted.

It turns out that basketball without a center and without a big man can be played like this.

It turns out that the three-point shot can really kill the game.

It turns out that the Memphis Grizzlies are not invincible!

In the regular season this year, the Warriors let Green, who is 2.01 meters tall, play power forward, and insisted on playing one big and four small all season, which is already very subversive.

And now, Cole's sword has gone off the beaten path and played the small lineup to the extreme!

The world was amazed by the sudden change of lineup, and all the reporters in the stadium gathered around the Warriors players and Kerr. The whole world is talking about the possibility of the Warriors coming back to win.

And in the Grizzlies locker room, which has not been paying attention for the time being, Link is looking at everyone seriously. Even when he played in the Finals last season, Link wasn't that serious.

Everyone knew Link was talking, so the whole locker room was quiet, except for the panting of the crowd.

"Now, the battle really begins, guys. Forget about the achievements and glories of the past, and after tonight, we will face a completely different challenge. ”

Both sides have ended their temptations and have come up with the most lethal tricks.

The Western Conference Finals will not really start tonight......
