No one expected that the Grizzlies would lose the first game against the Lakers like this, so simply.

In people's minds, this year's Grizzlies are extremely strong. How could they lose 20 points in a single game against a team like the Lakers? This is completely unbelievable.

Even Jiang Dongbing found it a bit incredible. The Grizzlies' offensive efficiency was so low tonight.

The team shot a total of 37 three-pointers tonight, but only made four, which was only a 10% hit rate, which almost made Jiang Dongbing vomit blood.

The key point is that Jiang Dongbing still has nowhere to vent his frustration. Three-pointers are often closely related to luck. Like tonight's game, it's definitely not that the Grizzlies players didn't care, but that they were really unlucky.

Many balls looked like they were about to go in, but ended up bouncing around and spinning out of the basket.

Jiang Dongbing sighed at such a dismal shooting rate. The loss was actually not unfair at all. A team like the Grizzlies that focuses on three-point shooting only had a three-point shooting rate of just over 10%, let alone against the Lakers.

It is probably difficult to win against the Clippers.

When a team is strong, no matter what tactics they arrange, it will be correct. But if the team suffers a disastrous defeat, then various analysts will find their place.

ESPN TV broadcast the game live. After the game, host Jack Ellis and commentator Dave Cowens began to analyze the reasons for the Grizzlies' defeat in this game.

Dave Cowens is one of the top 50 superstars in history, and he also embarked on the coaching path after retiring. He was still coaching the Charlotte Hornets in the first half of this season, but in the second half he was dismissed due to poor record.

Wasps fired.

"Dave, what do you think is the reason for the Grizzlies' defeat tonight?" Host Ellis raised his head and asked Cowens next to him.

Although Cowens is not very good in the coaching industry, he is still a top 50 star, so he is definitely qualified to commentate on games.

"There is no reason. In fact, I have never been very optimistic about the Grizzlies' playoff journey this year." Cowens said with a smile.

Ellis suddenly became interested and asked: "The Grizzlies have the best record in the league. Dave, why are you not optimistic about the Grizzlies?"

"Their style of play is destined to be impossible for the long term. I have never seen a team that relies on three-pointers to win the championship."

"The Grizzlies' regular season record is indeed very good, but everyone knows that the regular season and the playoffs are completely different, and the defensive intensity is very different."

"I am certain that it will not be easy for the Grizzlies to get past the Lakers. Even if they get past the Lakers, it will be difficult for them to make a difference in the Western Conference Finals," Cowens said confidently.

He said that the Grizzlies rely on three-pointers, which is actually true. In the eyes of the public, the Grizzlies are really a three-point team.

The Grizzlies averaged about 36.7 three-pointers per game this season, naturally ranking first in the league.

The Denver Nuggets, coached by D'Antoni, are the team with the second most three-pointers in the league. Their average three-pointers are only 18.6 times per game, which is almost half of the Grizzlies.

A ridiculously traditional team like the Spurs only made a pitiful 10 three-pointers!

Most teams average between 13 and 15 three-pointers per game. Looking at the Grizzlies' three-point shots, they really seem to be out of tune with other teams in the league.

So when Cowens said this, he was not targeting the Grizzlies. This is what a traditional player like him really thinks, and he is not optimistic about the shooting team.

Cowens is a center himself. Seeing that the Lakers have players like O'Neal, he naturally feels that the Lakers have a greater chance of winning.

The host was overjoyed. Cowens's words will definitely spark a heated discussion.

Sure enough, on the day Cowens finished his live broadcast, basketball columnists in various media began to analyze various things. Some supported Cowens and believed that the Grizzlies shot too many three-pointers. They

It's impossible to go too far in the playoffs.

Of course, there are also those who support the Grizzlies shooting three-pointers, after all, the regular season record is there.

Jiang Dongbing also noticed these discussions, but he had no intention of arguing. He had traveled from the future and knew better than anyone else whether three-pointers were good or not.

It seems that the Grizzlies took an absurd amount of three-pointers this year, but twenty years from now, the Rockets will not take more than 40 three-pointers per game in any season, and the most can even reach 45 per game.

The Grizzlies' three-point shot is absolutely nothing.

At that time, any team that averages three-pointers per game and does not take more than 30 shots will be poked in the spine. Some players can only shoot mid-range shots but not three-pointers, and they will be scolded even more.

Bloody head.

For example, Antetokounmpo and DeRozan are the best examples...

Three-pointers will be a trend in the future, and Jiang Dongbing does not need to explain too much to people of this era.

The disastrous defeat in this game has nothing to do with the number of three-point shots. With such a miserable shooting rate, no matter what the shot is, it will definitely be defeated.

And in this first game, Jiang Dongbing didn't use the shark-cutting tactic. The main reason was that the Lakers had been leading too much, and the shark-cutting tactic was of little use at this moment.

In the next game, maybe the shark-killing tactic will come in handy.

…

Before the start of the second game, Jackson and others sat listlessly in the home team's locker room. When they saw Jiang Dongbing come in, they all stood up to greet him.

None of them was "innocent" for the loss in the last game, and their performance was not very good.

"The last game is over, don't think too much about it."

"We have to win this game tonight, and we will definitely win it."

"Relax, I'll show you something fun tonight!" Jiang Dongbing reassured the generals.

Jackson and others couldn't help but become curious, looking at something fun? What fun things could be on the basketball court?

After the players from both sides entered the court, Jiang Dongbing could see O'Neal with a smile on his face from a long distance away.

O'Neal is a little swollen now. The defeat of the Grizzlies in the first game gave him a daydream that maybe the biggest winner this season will be the Lakers.

To this day, although O'Neal has the title of a historical center, he does not have a championship at hand. If he can win the championship this year, O'Neal thinks that he will be one step closer to becoming the strongest center in history.

Thinking of this, O'Neill's teeth were exposed.

"I hope you won't get angry for a while..." Jiang Dongbing smiled evilly in his heart. He was looking forward to O'Neal's performance after he was cut down.

The shark-cutting tactic is definitely not a new thing. In ancient times, teams used it on Dashuai Zhang, but at that time it was still relatively crude and could not be called a tactic.

A few years ago, Nelson picked up this tactic again and gave it a theoretical basis. This made the shark-killing tactic re-enter people's field of vision.
