LeBron James, your house got robbed.

As the whistle blew, Chandler easily won possession of the ball against Gasol.

The boxing champion's athletic talent is beyond doubt.

After Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball past half-court, he faced Conley from the top of the key.

Chandler moved up to attempt a screen, but Conley, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, moved with extremely light steps, sliding in the direction of the screen and landing first on Jeremy Lin's driving path.

Jeremy Lin misled Conley by glancing to the left, then pulled the ball to the right, allowing Chandler's broad frame to precisely block Conley's shot.

In the instant of the muscle confrontation, Conley turned downwards like a catfish, circled around from the bottom line and was back in front of Jeremy Lin.

Top-tier pick-and-roll defense capabilities.

Even Chen Shuo, his opponent, couldn't help but admire it.

In just three seconds, Conley broke through two pick-and-rolls between Lin and Chandler in two different ways.

Before the first pick-and-roll occurred, Conley must have heard his teammate's warning and moved ahead of time, thus disrupting the screen.

When Chandler set a second screen, Conley skillfully spun around and bypassed the screen from the baseline.

Two encounters are enough to demonstrate the formidable reputation of Memphis, the City of Trials.

With no other option, Jeremy Lin had to pass the ball to Garnett at the high post for a second play.

Thompson managed to get into position only after Leonard and Lin made it twice in a row.

After receiving a pass from Garnett, he opened his hand and shot, but Tony Allen arrived at the last moment, his fingertips just missing the ball by a hair's breadth.

The basketball bounced off the backboard, and after catching the rebound, Gasol immediately bent down and hugged it to his arms to protect it.

A player like Tony Allen, who contributes nothing offensively, can still stay on the field, which must mean he has something special.

He was glued to Thompson almost from the very beginning, constantly putting up various small physical moves.

Thompson had to exert himself physically to break free, which caused him to shoot with too much force, resulting in him missing the first shot.

The Grizzlies' two defensive anchors were given to Thompson and Lin, who have been in good form recently, in the very first possession, as they each brought up a high level of intensity.

Chen Shuo understood that this Grizzlies team could maintain this level of defense throughout the entire game, and even if they won, they would be severely weakened.

This is why no team wants to face the Grizzlies in the playoffs.

The roles of offense and defense have reversed.

Compared to their defense, the Grizzlies' offense was rather lackluster, especially after the team lost a strong offensive center like Randolph who was weak on defense.

The Grizzlies' first ball went straight to Gay for a one-on-one challenge.

During the pre-game discussion among the Cavaliers coaching staff, data indicated that Gay's one-on-one was the Grizzlies' first choice.

Both his 16.4 field goal attempts per game and his 19 points per game rank first in the team.

Unfortunately for Gay, he ran into Leonard. After dribbling for a while without finding an opening, Gay pulled up and forced a shot.

The ball bounced off the front edge of the rim, and a figure suddenly rushed out, leaping high to grab the rebound. As he attempted to jump and attack the basket, Garnett pinned him to the backboard.

It must be said that Tony Allen's aggressiveness did indeed compensate for his offensive shortcomings to some extent.

On the sidelines, Cavaliers' defensive assistant coach Longa Buddy immediately stood up and whispered something to Tyronn Lue, who then called Thompson to the sidelines.

"Guys, we need to hold our positions and protect the defensive rebounds."

"Stay focused."

After a few brief instructions, Tyronn Lue brought Thompson back onto the court.

Chen Shuo participated in the entire pre-match preparation work of the coaching team.

The Grizzlies were extremely offensively deficient after losing Randolph, so they turned their attention to offensive rebounding, trying to make up for their offensive inefficiency with more possessions.

That's why Longabadi paid so much attention to this detail.

The Cavaliers' offensive possession.

The pick-and-roll was still initiated by Jeremy Lin and Tyson Chandler.

Against a top-tier screen-crossing player like Conley, Garnett's pick-and-roll was not as effective as Chandler's.

This time, Chandler intentionally increased the intensity of the confrontation, subtly exerting force the moment the pick-and-roll occurred, preventing Conley from getting around the screen immediately.

Jeremy Lin drove to the free-throw line and was surprised to find Marc Gasol standing in the paint, his massive frame covering the area within three feet of the basket.

Seeing that Conley was about to get to the ball, Jeremy Lin could only end the possession with a mid-range shot.

The metallic sound of the ball hitting the rim signaled the failure of this option.

Mid-range shots are not Jeremy Lin's preferred offensive method, and Conley was chasing closely. Even if Lin was caught off guard, Conley quickly caught up, leaving Lin little time to adjust.

Chen Shuo almost subconsciously looked at Paul, who was dressed in casual clothes.

This is Paul's favorite dessert section.

Chen Shuo didn't believe that with Paul on the court, Gasol would dare to stay inside and not come out.

Paul's ability to shoot from the free-throw line after a pick-and-roll is more than enough to break down such a defensive strategy.

Jeremy Lin is better at attacking the basket; his style of play is to go all out after a pick-and-roll.

But facing a 7-foot tall player like Marc Gasol, who can hold his ground with his outstretched arms, and who possesses terrifying defensive intelligence and positioning, even Russell Westbrook wouldn't dare to recklessly charge in.

Turning back, the Grizzlies were equally helpless against the Cavaliers' impenetrable defense.

Gay struggles to break through even Leonard's defense, let alone the two monsters in the paint who can always cover the rim.

Conley, on the other hand, was having a very difficult time due to Jeremy Lin's relentless and aggressive defense.

The two teams were deadlocked for two minutes before Garnett broke the deadlock with a powerful jump shot.

For the Grizzlies, Gasol stood under the basket, gritted his teeth and drove hard, drawing a foul.

He only broke the embarrassment of having zero points after stepping to the free throw line.

The teams on the court were evenly matched, their defenses were fiercely contested, and the Cleveland fans were getting sleepy watching.

Only the constant clanging of metal on the metal kept the fans at the stadium barely conscious.

As the game progressed, the Grizzlies adapted to the pace of the game first, since this was their comfort zone.

Offensively, the Grizzlies have been known for their slow and aggressive play throughout the season.

Even against the Cavaliers' defense, their offense wasn't too bad.

So, as the Cavaliers relaxed, Speights and Conley started racking up points around Gasol's playmaking.

Jeremy Lin made 1 of 6 shots for the Cavaliers, including 4 mid-range jumpers from the free-throw line. He completely lost his way under Conley's chasing and disruptive defense.

Thompson's mentality was completely ruined by Tony Allen, and he kept pushing and shoving Tony Allen and exchanging trash talk, losing his familiar rhythm.

Garnett was left to rely solely on his jump shot to keep the offense going.

At halftime, the home team trailed by 6 points, 35-41.

This is for a game 10 years from now, which is the score in a single quarter of a game.

When Chen Shuo returned to the locker room, Cole was giving Lu instructions on tactics, but the players seemed somewhat distracted.

They were clearly bewildered and at a loss because of the Grizzlies' defense.

35 points is probably the team's lowest halftime score this season.

The city of tempering has almost worn the knight's sword down to its last thread.

Just then, a figure stood up and clapped his hands vigorously:

"Guys, we should keep the competition going."

"As long as we pay attention to the details of the game, we can win the game."

Paul directly named Thompson:

"Clay, I know that bastard is bothering you a lot."

"He would pull you when you get up, grab your arm when you run, and occasionally hit you, while pretending to be innocent in front of the referee."

Paul knew all about these little tricks like the back of his hand.

"Oh, and his never-ending foul mouth, constantly spewing trash at you, stirring up your nerves and emotions."

"That's part of the game."

"The referee acquiesced to this."

"You must first accept everything that happens and learn to accept the challenges of the competition before you have a chance to overcome them."
