: 967: The battle officially begins

     Up to now in the playoffs, the Grizzlies have experienced a wave of 9 consecutive victories.

   Like the previous two seasons, they were unstoppable in the playoffs. Not only is there no team that can defeat the Grizzlies, but there is not even a team that can win even one victory over the Grizzlies.

   The Golden State Warriors had high hopes this year, but their first game was really disappointing.

   When people are discussing whether the Warriors have the ability to fight the Grizzlies. In the second game of the series, Steve Kerr's formation changed the entire NBA world!

   In Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals, the Golden State Warriors continued to fight in the Federal Express Arena. For them, this is a game that must be won.

   For other teams, 0 to 3 behind is the end of the world.

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

   Over the years, if the Grizzlies won both of the first two home games, the probability of winning the entire series is 100%!

   In other words, the Warriors must win a victory in the Federal Express Arena. Otherwise, the entire series will be basically hopeless.

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

   win, they can continue to compete with the Grizzlies. Once back to Oakland with a 0-2 score, the Warriors basically have no need to continue.

   Before the game started today, people were still discussing how Green and Bogut would contain Link. But when the Warriors started their starting lineup today, everyone was stunned.

   Because there is no Bogut in their starting lineup!

"This...what lineup is this? Steve Kerr actually replaced Bogut with Sean Livingston! Now, the Warriors have no center and no inside line. Height 2.01. Draymond Green, who went straight to the fifth position! Coach Cole sent a five-small lineup!"

   Mike Brin widened his eyes and explained so many years of NBA games. This is the first time he has seen such a short and small starter!

   Indeed, the Grizzlies played a small lineup with Link as the center in the regular season, but that lineup actually only stayed on the court for a short time.

   And where is the Warrior? They started directly with a small lineup!

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

   Some people say that Cole is crazy, 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's better to continue to enlarge this specialty.

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

   This year's playoffs so far, he ushered in the first real challenge!

   After the start of the game, the Grizzlies used their height advantage to get a second offensive opportunity and played the Warriors with a 7-0 start.

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

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

   Their fast and mobile offense made the pace of the game become very fast, and it was very difficult for Gasol to keep up.

   The inside guardian of the Grizzlies is equivalent to being completely emptied.

   Curry and Thompson also changed from the cold feeling in the last game, hit three consecutive points, and soon overtook the score.

   On the defensive end, Green, a "short" enough to handle a heavy center forward, also played a key role.

   Gasol repeatedly attacked the inside, but the effect was not good. Once Green grabbed a defensive rebound, Green himself can quickly dribble through the half.

   In this way, the rhythm of the game becomes fast.

   Gasol ran with Green for a few rounds and was basically exhausted. The offensive end cannot be played, and the defensive end will be killed if it is misplaced. The situation of Gasol, the best defensive player, becomes quite embarrassing.

   Then, Georgel replaced Whiteside again, and the result was not much better than when Gasol was on the court.

   Whiteside's offense is not as good as Gasol, he can do nothing with Green by brute force.

   On the defensive end, although Whiteside's athleticism is stronger than Gasol, it is still quite slow compared to the Warriors' extremely fast pace.

  Secondly, the Warriors also boldly used the 7-man rotation. On the bench, except for Speights and Barbosa, everyone else was basically abandoned!

   I have to say, Kerr is indeed a very courageous head coach. In the regular season, in order to promote Green, All-Star forward David Ritter said he didn't need it.

   And now in the Western Conference Finals, in order to speed up the pace, for the sake of a small lineup, Bogut and others have played well before, he also said that there is no need for it.

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

  Although the players will play harder in this way, but in this way, the team can keep the strongest players on the court throughout the game.

   The Warriors played a half-court with a small lineup. Although the Grizzlies grabbed a lot of offensive rebounds, they still couldn't match the Warriors' quick counterattack.

   After halftime, the score became 54 to 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. They want to launch a Jedi counterattack!"

   "The Warriors' small lineup is incredible. Although short, the offensive and defensive sides are very balanced! The defense is not broken, and the offense is extremely efficient!"

   "I have to say, Coach Cole is really bold! As the best coach of the year this year, he deserves his name!"

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

   In the second half, Georgel deliberately reduced the playing time of the two centers Gasol and Whiteside. The Grizzlies are also prepared for this. They used a small lineup before closed training!

  George is very thankful that he listened to Link's advice. If he didn't prepare, the Warriors could win to the end with this lineup!

  Although the Grizzlies have also started to use small lineups, they have fallen behind too much before and Georgel has not completely abandoned the center players.

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

   Two key goals at the last moment by Curry and Green pulled the Grizzlies from the supreme throne!

  The Warriors gave the Grizzlies a taste of the first loss of the playoffs, and gave the Grizzlies their first home defeat 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 defeat the Grizzlies in this year's Western Conference Finals!

   "The Warriors did a miracle. They made the Grizzlies' dominance less solid!"

   "The five deaths invented by the Grizzlies are now being carried forward in the Warriors! This is the NBA, and there are countless possibilities!"

   "The Warriors will return to Oakland with a score of 1-1, back to Oracle Arena! There, they will have the opportunity to change the face of the entire league!"

   The Warriors are completely on fire, and the five small lineups are on fire.

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

   It turns out that there is no center, no big man basketball ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ can be like this.

   It turns out that a three-pointer can really kill the game.

   It turns out that the Memphis Grizzlies are not invincible!

   This year's regular season, the Warriors let Green, who is 2.01 meters tall, play a power forward, and insisted on playing a major or four minor throughout the season, which is already very disruptive.

   And now, Cole Jian has gone slanting forward, playing the small lineup to the extreme!

   The whole world was amazed by this sudden change, and all the reporters gathered around the Warriors and Cole. The whole world is discussing the possibility of the Warriors' comeback.

   While in the Grizzlies locker room that was temporarily unattended, Link was looking at everyone seriously. Last season, even when he played in the finals, Link was not so serious.

   Everyone knew that Link was about to speak, so the whole locker room was quiet, and everyone could only hear the gasping voice.

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

   Both sides have ended their temptation, and have taken out the most deadly tricks.

   The Western Conference Finals will only really begin tonight...
