Phil Jackson's on-the-spot reaction has always been unpleasant, and a reporter once complained: What Phil Jackson is best at is putting superstars on the court, and then chewing the gum of the whole game in a daze, without moving.

However, in this game, Phil Jackson didn't have much time to chew gum, and the process of the game caught Phil Jackson off guard, as if overnight, the Grizzlies' offense changed, the main offense changed from Maddie to Raheem, and the main offensive area also shifted from the middle distance to the low post.

By the time Phil Jackson rushed to respond, it was already too late.

The Grizzlies' Princeton offense was completely unstoppable, and in the second quarter, Scott Pippen's departure caused the Lakers to empty the mid-range position, and Maddie exploded.

Raheem dominated the first quarter, scoring 13 points on his own, and Maddie Carrey scored 11 points in the second quarter.

In this way, after halftime, the Grizzlies led the Lakers by 7 points at 53:46.

With a 7-point lead at halftime, this game is naturally not to the point of winning steadily, Qiao Hai always led the Lakers to a big lead last season, so Qiao Hai is used to locking up the victory at half time or at the end of the third quarter.

But at the same time, Qiao Hai is also very clear that last season's Lakers always made their efforts in the third quarter, and Phil Jackson's Lakers have not made too many changes, perhaps, the timing of this Lakers' force is still the third quarter, Qiao Hai must be extremely careful, the third quarter will be the most important section, play well, this game, Qiao Hai does not need to spend even a little victory point to win.

If he played poorly, Qiao Hai might have to use up dozens of victory points to ensure victory in this game.

The victory point is very important, Qiao Hai can save it, and he doesn't want to spend it indiscriminately.

At halftime, the Grizzlies' locker room was a little relaxed, but there was no sound, the intensity of this game was still not small, and the main players were a little tired and didn't have much to talk about.

Qiao Hai thought about it and decided to sacrifice his ultimate move directly.

"Let's talk about the third quarter."

The tactical board was behind him, and the attention of the players was attracted, and Qiao Hai said directly: "Do you remember the style of play we have been practicing in the past two days?" ”

Qiao Hai found a position on the tactical board behind him and drew a circle, and that position was a low position.

"A low-post version of Princeton's play!" Qiao Hai turned his head to look at Rahim. "Sharif, your role is going to change in the third quarter."

The low-post version of Princeton's style of play, the position of the tactical core will be shifted from the high post to the low post, which will be a huge change, the low-post version of the Princeton tactics, compared with the high-post Princeton tactics, the biggest change is that the tactical core has changed from an interior player with a long shot to an interior player with a low-post single.

So, the heart of the low-post version of Princeton's tactics will become Rahim.

Raheem's low-post skills are good, among them, turning in a low position with one hand and throwing with one hand is his unique skill, so Rahim's low-post threat is enough.

The premise of the low-post version is that the low-post inside line through singles, attracting pinch-shots, once the opponent is sandwiched, the small player goes around the bottom corner, catches the ball and looks for opportunities to shoot three-pointers, if the opponent does not sandwich, then Raheem can score directly singles.

In addition to this, Qiao Hai also arranged more follow-up changes.

For example, Rahim receives the ball and the small player cuts directly to the bottom corner of the other side, at which point the other inside line moves towards the top of the arc and pulls the inside line.

At the same time, another small player cuts inside, and if this small player attracts another inside defender, then Rahim can pass the ball directly outside, catch the ball on the other inside, or shoot within his own range, or continue to pull the defense, continue to pass the ball to find an opportunity closer to the basket.

The low-post version of Princeton's tactics has more changes, and there is no basic style of play, so Qiao Hai has not used this low-post version of Princeton's tactics as a big move.

This time against the Lakers, Qiao Hai only wanted a victory, so he directly threw out this new set of play.

At the beginning of the second half, as Qiao Hai expected, Phil Jackson replaced all the main players, point guard Derrick Fisher, scoring guard Kobe, small forward Scott Pippen, big forward Robert Horry, and center O'Neal.

This is the real main force of the Lakers, and with Horry at the No. 4 position, the Lakers' offense will be better, because in the bottom corner, there will always be a Horry waiting for the Grizzlies to pinch the Lakers' other star players.

But Qiao Hai's focus is not on defense, he just wants to play well offensively.

The opening ball was in the hands of the Lakers, and the firepower of the Lakers directly created a chance for O'Neal to play alone, Brad Miller made two hard hits, but in the end he still didn't resist, and was squeezed away by O'Neal at once, O'Neal turned around and made a layup, easily scoring 2 points.

There was still a 5-point lead left, and Qiao Hai was not in a hurry, he kept standing on the sidelines, walking back and forth.

In contrast, Phil Jackson was much calmer, sitting all the time, not moving, it seemed that Phil Jackson was the leading side, and Qiao Hai was the lagging side.

On the court, the Grizzlies are on offense.

A noticeable change came when Brad Miller didn't appear in the high post, he landed directly in the middle range and didn't take the ball either.

"What's going on? Aren't Grizzlies fighting Princeton? Phil Jackson frowned nonchalantly.

Mike Bibby held the ball from the outside, found an opportunity, and gave the ball to Raheem in the low post.

Then, he ran backwards to the other corner.

In the bottom corner of the other side, Sean Marion saw Mike Bibby running, and also reacted quickly, rushing to the top of the arc, passing by 45 degrees on one side, just met Brad Miller, Brad Miller sideways a cover, Sean Marion shook off Scott Pippen and quickly rushed to the top of the arc.

At the same time, Raheem's single attracted Robert Horry's pinch, and he aimed at Sean Marion, who had reached the top of the arc, and also turned sideways, hitting the ground and passing, directly to Sean Marion.

Brad Miller in the middle distance position wanted to run inside, but Scott Pippen was a little embarrassed, thought about it, and turned to Sean Marion, who had the ball.

Marion didn't dare to be greedy, and made another pass, hanging inside.

Brad Miller catches the ball and makes a layup.

Two points, easy to account!

In one offensive round, the Grizzlies made a total of three passes, directly tearing apart the Lakers' defense!

Commentator Cherry Miller shouted wonderfully, this wave of Grizzlies offense played the essence of Princeton's tactics, the presence of the two interior lines exploded, Raheem attracted the pinch and passed a fatal ball, Brad Miller covered and received the ball to score.

If the Lakers' defense is a little better, Brad Miller can continue to divide the ball and continue to tear the defense.

In short, Princeton's tactic is to constantly cut and divide the ball, looking for the best scoring opportunities.

The Grizzlies' change caught Phil Jackson off guard again, and he didn't dare to adjust it indiscriminately because he hadn't seen the key to the Grizzlies' new style of play.

However, the Lakers' offense played well, and Bryant singled out Maddy from the outside and scored two more points on a step-back jumper.

But then, Raheem took the ball again in the low post, O'Neal's defense couldn't stop Rahim's nimble footsteps, this time Mike Bibby was directly in the adjacent bottom corner, and Derek Fisher saw that Rahim was about to shake off O'Neal with his foot, he could only take one arrow step and rush up to help defend.

Raheem's ball was faster, and the moment Derrick Fisher pounced, he directly distributed the ball to Mike Bibie's hands, Bibi directly scored three points, and with a bang, hit!

At 58:50, the Grizzlies extended their one-point advantage.

Phil Jackson saw something and shouted directly: "Don't flank their No. 4 position, change the defense, Robert, you go and kill him!" ”

O'Neal can't defend it, but Robert Horry can, so the Lakers directly switch defenses.

This time, Phil Jackson's reaction was relatively quick.

But obviously, he underestimated Rahim's low-post attack power, although Raheem's three seasons with the Grizzlies had a poor record, his personal data is not bad, averaging 20+ firepower per game, this offense, should not be underestimated.

Robert Horry's single defense had some effect, but Raheem shook Robert Horry away with various steps and continued to score.

In this way, the score difference gradually widened to more than 10 points.

At this moment, Phil Jackson couldn't sit still and called an early timeout......
