Since the playoffs, the Grizzlies have experienced a 9-game winning streak.

Like the previous two seasons, they were unstoppable in the playoffs. Not only did there be no team that could defeat the Grizzlies, but there were no teams that could win even a victory on the Grizzlies' head.

The Golden State Warriors were originally expected this year, but their first game was really disappointing.

Just when people are discussing whether the Warriors have the ability to fight against the Grizzlies. In the second game of the series, Steve Cole's arrangement of troops changed the entire NBA world!

In the second game of the Western Conference Finals, the Golden State Warriors continued to play at the Federal Express Arena. For them, it was a must-win game.

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

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

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

In other words, the Warriors must grab a victory at the Federal Express Arena. Otherwise, there will be no hope of winning the entire series.

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

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

Before the game started today, people were still discussing how Green and Bogut would curb Link. But when the Warriors' lineup came on today, everyone was stunned.

Because there is no Bogut in their lineup at all!

"What lineup is this? Steve Cole actually replaced Bogut with Sean Livingston! Now, the Warriors have no center and no inside line. Draymond Green, who is 2.01 meters tall, has directly hit the No. 5 position! Coach Cole has sent a five-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-square-s

Mike Brin widened his eyes and explained the NBA game over the years. This was the first time he had seen such a short and small person!

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

And what about the Warriors? They are directly using small lineups!

There is no doubt that this exaggerated combination surprised everyone.

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

Some people also think that this change may be a turning point in the Warriors winning the series. Anyway, the Warriors' specialty is three-pointers, so it's better to continue to magnify this specialty.

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

Since this year's playoffs, he has faced the first real challenge!

After the game started, the Grizzlies took advantage of their height and started with a 7-0 start.

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

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

Their fast and mobile offense makes the game very fast, and it is very difficult for Gasol to keep up with the pace.

The Grizzlies' inside guardian is equivalent to being completely undermined.

Curry and Thompson also changed their cold touch in the last game, hitting three-pointers in a row, and quickly surpassed the score.

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

Gasol repeatedly attacked the inside, but the effect was not good. Once Green caught the defensive rebound, Green could quickly dribble through the half.

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

Gasol ran with Green for a few rounds and was basically exhausted. He couldn't play on the offensive end, and once the defensive end was misaligned, it would be fatal. Gasol's situation, the best defensive player, became quite embarrassing.

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

Whiteside's offense is not as good as Gasol. He can't do anything to Green with brute force.

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

Secondly, the Warriors also boldly used 7-man rotation. On the bench, except for Spetz and Barbosa, all others were abandoned!

I have to say that Cole is indeed a very courageous head coach. In the regular season, in order to promote Green, All-Star forward David Litt said that if he doesn't need it, he won't need it.

And since the Western Conference Finals, in order to speed up the pace and for the small lineup, Bogut and others played well before, he also said that if he didn't, he wouldn't do it.

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

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

The Warriors played in a small lineup for a half. Although the Grizzlies grabbed a lot of offensive rebounds, they still couldn't defeat the Warriors' quick counterattack.

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

"Steve Cole's strategy has worked. They lead the Grizzlies by 12 points in the first half. They want to launch a Jedi counterattack!"

"The Warriors' small lineup is incredible. Although it is short, the offense and defense are very balanced! It has made an extremely efficient attack without the defensive collapse!"

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

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, Joe Geer deliberately reduced the playing time of Gasol and Whiteside centers. The Grizzlies were also prepared for this. They had trained in a small lineup before in closed training!

Jogel is very glad that he listened to Link's advice. If he is not prepared, the Warriors can win the end with this lineup!

Although the Grizzlies have also started to use small lineups, they are too far behind before and Jogel has not completely abandoned the center players.

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

Curry and Green's two key goals in the last moment pulled the Grizzlies off the supreme throne!

The Warriors let the Grizzlies taste the first loss in the playoffs, and allowed the Grizzlies to experience home defeats at the playoffs for the first time since the 12-13 season.

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

"The Warriors have created miracles, and they have made the Grizzlies' dominance less solid anymore!"

"The Grizzlies' Death Five Small Invented, is now being developed in the Warriors! This is the NBA, there are countless possibilities here!"

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

The Warriors were completely popular, and the five small lineups were completely popular.

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

It turns out that there is no center or big basketball, you can play like this.

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

It turns out that the Memphis Grizzlies are not invincible!

In this regular season, the Warriors allowed Green, who was 2.1 meters tall, to play power forward, and insisted on playing as one, one, four, and four, all season long, which was already very subversive.

Now, Cole Sword has taken the wrong approach and played the small lineup to the extreme!

The whole world was amazed by the sudden change of formation, and all the reporters surrounded the Warriors players and Cole. The whole world was discussing the possibility of the Warriors turning around and winning.

In the Grizzlies locker room, which has not been paid attention to, Link is looking at everyone seriously. Even when he played in the Finals last season, Link was not that serious.

Everyone knew Link was going to speak, so the entire locker room was quiet and everyone could only hear the sound of breathing.

"Now, the battle has really begun, guys. Forget the achievements and glory of the past, and after tonight, we will face challenges that are completely different from those of the past."

Both sides have finished their temptations and have taken out the most deadly tricks.
