Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

Chapter 45 Slaughtered for 42 points!Scott: I'm not going to pretend anymore
In the second quarter, the two sides sent substitute lineups to compete.

The Grizzlies sent Stoudemire, Eddie Jones, Gay, Warrick, Reggie Evans.

Barea was temporarily put on the bench, not because of his lack of personal ability, but because Lowry is the best choice for this round of the series.

Stoudemire has given up his position as the starting point guard in order to take the overall situation into consideration. If he can't even play as a substitute, this guy will be so depressed.

The confrontation in the playoffs emphasizes defense. The "Little Flying Squirrel" Stoudemire, who is only 1 meters tall, is easy to be targeted by the opponent when he starts.

The Grizzlies lost to the Hornets once in the regular season, and Stoudemire, who started the game in that game, was blown up.

Faced with the young Chris Paul's lateral speed, the 78 kg weight also couldn't withstand Paul's breakthrough.

Lu Yong knew very well that Lowry was the most suitable person to defend Paul, and it would be more effective to let Little Flying Squirrel play in the second quarter to control the game.

The Hornets sent Johnson III and Brandon Bass inside, both of whom are strong offensive and defensive players, helping the Hornets to bite the point difference with difficulty.

However, the Grizzlies' rotation lineup is stronger, with almost no flaws in both offense and defense. Although the score did not increase, they firmly controlled the rhythm of the game.

The antagonism of the playoffs is stronger than that of the regular season. The Grizzlies' substitute insider Reggie Evans showed great power, just like the "flower bug" Rodman possessed him, grabbing three at the basket, which is unreasonable at all.

Evans is a real tough guy, good at using his body against hand-to-hand combat, and he is more enthusiastic about rebounding than defending.

This way of scrambling to bully Johnson III and Brandon Bass is simply too easy for the backup twin towers. After all, the Hornets only average 5 rebounds per game combined, which is not blue-collar work at all.

Against a tough man like Reggie Evans, the Hornets are powerless inside to resist.

The result was that Evans grabbed 8 rebounds in a single quarter, 5 of which were offensive rebounds. It was not until the starting center Tyson Chandler came back that he barely stopped the decline.

Reggie Evans' idol is the famous Bull Rodman. After graduating from college, he also enrolled in the rebounding training class held by Rodman. The two people's style of play is almost the same.

Although facing the top insider Evans at a disadvantage in height, his character is destined not to be afraid, and coming off the bench is like a rebounder.

Reggie Evans suppressed the Hornets Twin Towers on the defensive end, and Warrick, who came off the bench, was very confused.

His frequent attack on the inside on the offensive end has compressed the overall offensive space of the Grizzlies, causing Stoudemire to often face a bunch of tough guys when he breaks through with the ball, which is not efficient.

Rudy Gay also had a hard time playing. Many insiders couldn't get in, so he could only float outside and shoot. The lethality dropped sharply, and he was cheated by Warrick.

In fact, what Lu Yong dislikes the most is players like Warrick.

Because his offensive methods are too rough, he can't shoot when he is pulled outside, and he can't achieve star efficiency when he breaks through with the ball. The vice president staying on the court is more useful than useful.

At least in the view of Lu Yong, a coach who advocates offense, he should not get a chance to play in the playoffs.

However, a reckless man like Warrick is also a characteristic of the 00s. He is full of energy and will scuffle with opponents on the defensive end.

Big players who can only shoot the ball leave people with the impression that they are soft guys, as if only frequent physical confrontation and killing the basket can win the title of "tough guy".

Of course, Kevin Garnett is an exception.

That guy set it up so well that he could beat his chest and roar excitedly when he threw in a mid-range shot. Those who didn't know thought he just dunked O'Neal.

But no, Garnett just hit an open jumper.
In the second half, the Hornets still didn't shoot from outside, and could only rely on Paul and West's singles to barely bite the score.

Until the final quarter, the Grizzlies shot from outside the three-point line, relying on the outbreak of Mike Miller and Stoudemire to completely open the gap.

Devin Brown's defense was so poor that Scott didn't dare to use him in the second half, and only let him play for 16 minutes before replacing Refrigerated.

The starting small forward Desmond Mason also performed poorly. He played 30 minutes and made 7 of 0 shots. He only scored 2 points, 5 rebounds and 1 steal from free throws, becoming the Hornets' biggest undercover leader.

Halfway through the final quarter, the Grizzlies led 107 to 71 by 36 points, and the game entered garbage time.

Hornets head coach Byron Scott sat on the court depressed, not expecting that the first game of the playoffs would be a massacre without any suspense.

Originally, Scott thought that even if the Hornets couldn't beat the Grizzlies in this round of the series, it would be okay to find a chance to steal another victory or two, right?

In the end, reality dealt him a heavy blow, allowing him to see with his own eyes how terrifying the grizzly bear was when it went all out. In the first round, he was beaten helplessly, and the breath in his heart completely dissipated.

At the end, 124 to 82, the Grizzlies won by 42 points and easily won the first playoff victory.

当家球星保罗-加索尔只出战31分钟，14投8中，罚球5中5，高效轰下21分7篮板4助攻1封盖，三节打卡下班。

Marksman Mike Miller had an explosive performance tonight. He made 12 of 7 three-pointers and scored a game-high 24 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal. He was like a fish in water in the offensive system arranged by Lu Yong, and his efficiency was comparable to that of Curry.

替补出场的斯塔德迈尔发挥也很棒，11投6中，三分球5中2，罚球2中2，得到16分1篮板2助攻。

In the final quarter, they teamed up with Mike Miller to break out and played a wave of offensive to establish the victory.

Reggie Evans has the most amazing data. He played 26 minutes off the bench, scored 0 for 0 and scored 14 rebounds, and also sent 3 assists and 1 block. Played to the extreme.

黄蜂队表现最好的是控球后卫保罗，17投7中，三分球4中1，罚球3中3，得到18分3篮板7助攻2抢断。

After the game, he sat on the chair depressed, covered his face with a towel, unwilling to face everything that happened on the court, feeling aggrieved like a fucking dream.

The second master David West played his hips and was targeted by Swift, who was full of athletic talent. He only made 16 of 5 shots, 3 of 2 free throws, scored 12 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist, and had a game-high 5 fouls. .

The most surprising player for the Hornets in this round of the series is the big center Tyson Chandler. Although he failed to guard Gasol one-on-one, his 11 points, 13 rebounds and 2 blocks in the game became the Hornets' final victory. A fig leaf.

Byron Scott shook hands with Fratello after the game, looking embarrassed.

Before the game, he had just pointed out the situation to the Grizzlies coaching staff, thinking that the Grizzlies' extreme offensive system would not go far. As a result, he was slaughtered for 42 points after the game, and his face was really slapped.

However, Lu Yong and Fratello didn't take it to heart at all, they just regarded him as a clown and didn't even bother to look at him.
