Today's playoffs continue to play, tomorrow will be the second game between the Grizzlies and the Lakers, the first game is over, the Lakers 128:112, the following inscription, and also injured the star Morant, after the game team coach Saikins was very angry about the way he lost at home.
The Grizzlies wrapped up after the game. found that the team's biggest problem is in defense, this game allowed the Lakers Davis to get 22 points, 12 boards, 3 assists, 3 blocks and 7 blocks, James got 21 points, 11 boards, 5 assists, 2 blocks and 3 blocks, Russell got 19 points, 4 boards and 7 assists, Reeves got 23 points, 3 boards and 4 assists, and Hachimura got 29 points and 6 boards, which Jenkins cannot tolerate, because it is understandable that compared to James and Davis can get 20+ data, but players like Hachimura and Reeves have 20+, It's angry for the manager.
Through data comparison and game replays, the Grizzlies must strengthen their defense of Davis if they want to win the Lakers, Davis is currently the center of the entire team, and the Grizzlies are the weakest in the overall strength is in the center position, and Davis 22 points, 12 boards, 3 assists, 3 blocks and 7 blocks also brought great help to the Lakers on the defensive and offensive ends, and when Davis got the ball on the offensive end, the Grizzlies had no way to target his defense.
After the game, Jenkins told all the players on the team to be tough against Davis in the next game, like the Warriors, although they lost 2-0, but the Kings' star Sabonis Jr.'s defense was very successful, only scoring 12 points in the first game, while the Warriors lost but only lost 3 points, but the Grizzlies' poor defense of Davis also caused the situation of being slaughtered by the Lakers.
In addition, although Green's hand is very dirty, it does make a big impact on the free throws and shots behind Sabonis Jr., and the league has given a second-degree malicious foul, only one additional suspension penalty for Green, so the head coach also wants the ball to strengthen the defense in the next game.
Another thing that made Jenkins very angry was that when he arranged tactics for the team, James always liked to eavesdrop on tactics, which annoyed Jenkins, and his own star Morant was targeted, and was fouled by Davis at the moment of soaring to the layup, and was directly blocked by Davis in mid-air, injuring his right hand and causing a fracture in his right palm.
In the team's training, it can be seen that Morant is still wrapped in an ice pack for his injured right hand, unable to hold the ball, according to the team's current situation, the probability of letting Morant rest and recuperate in G2, and from the current news, Morant is likely to be reimbursed for the season, and the Grizzlies without Morant will inevitably strengthen defensively, and Davis will be their main target, looking forward to the performance of the Grizzlies and Lakers G2.
