In the next round, the Jazz played a classic pick-and-roll cooperation, and Oku caused Gasol to foul, went to the free throw line, and made 1 of 2 free throws.

14:12.

In the entire series, the Jazz's most disappointing thing was not Kirirenko, nor Boozer, but Oku.

This season, Oku entered the Western Conference All-Stars, at the peak of his career.

During the regular season, he was a powerful weapon for the Jazz, who had strong defense and super long shooting range.

Especially when encountering Yao Ming and O'Neal, a big center who cannot be defended, O'Cu always has amazing performances.

But in this round of the series, he had no benefit in front of Milicic.

He will, Milicic will.

He won't, so will Milicic.

Is this a snake?

It was the Grizzlies' turn to attack, and Li Lei continued military training Millsap.

This time, Li Lei made Millsap foolishly.

Li Lei then rubbed against Millsap and then took action.

Didi!

The referee's whistle sounded first.

Fouls outside the three-point line, three free throws.

Millsap, who was still flying in the air, looked regretful.

The next second, swish!

31!

Damn it! I'm so glad!

Li Lei completed the score of 4 points.

Millsap hugged his head in annoyance, wanting to cry but can't cry.

Compared with his experience when he first appeared on the court, Millsap's mentality has really been broken in the past few rounds.

Before the free throw, Li Lei came to the sidelines and spread his hands to the Jazz's bench and said, "Let Carlos come back and continue playing, and that rookie will be useless.

Your biggest mistake tonight is to use rookies to deal with me."

Coach Sloan, who originally planned to replace the person, gritted his teeth in an instant, but stopped replacing the person.

How to change?

Now that Boozer is replaced, it makes me feel like I am listening to Li Lei. Where can the players put my prestige?

So Sloan grabbed Boozer who was preparing to warm up: "Carlos, it's not time for you to play."

Boozer looked helpless and wanted to argue, but after thinking about it, he sat back obediently.

Carlisle smiled unrestrainedly on the bench opposite.

However, he was glad in his heart that he was not Li Lei's opponent, otherwise he would not know whether to change it or not when facing Li Lei's words.

Then, Li Lei hit the free throw steadily.

Swish!

18:12.

The difference has widened again.

And in the next two rounds, Li Lei stared at Millsap and directly beat Millsap until his mentality collapsed.

The defensive end started to stretch out his hands again. Sure enough, I was used to this thing not to change anyone.

On the offensive end, Millsap's shot actually made three-no-touch shots. You should know that his touch is extremely soft.

In just one minute, relying on the loophole of Millsap, the Grizzlies widened the gap to double digits.

Coach Sloan finally couldn't sit still and replaced Boozer again.

The Jazz began to chase points.

However, whenever they approach the score, Li Lei or Gasol can score and continue to maintain the score difference.

The first quarter ends, 27:20.

Halftime ends, 50:45.

All the audience, 98:94.

Until the game ended, the Jazz couldn't catch up.

beep!

With the whistle that ended the game, the Grizzlies defeated the Jazz again, and won the victory in the league's famous "Devil's Home Stadium", rewriting the big score to 3-1.

In this game, Li Lei held up the regular season MVP trophy before the game.

Then, he scored 38 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 6 blocks in the whole game, and dominated the game and confirmed his MVP's strength.

Gasol scored 22 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks. With Li Lei's side, Gasol played with ease and was particularly comfortable.

Looking back on the three previous playoff trips, Gasol was amazed: It turns out that this is the correct way to open the playoffs.

Milicic scored 8 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks.

Guy has 15 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block, and is still one of the sixth players in the league.

Jazz's side:

Delong had 17 points, 9 rebounds, 12 assists and 1 steal, almost a triple-double.

Boozer scored 19 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block.

Fisher scored 12 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.

Oku had 12 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 blocks.

Kirilenko's touch was still very poor, and he was frequently targeted by the Grizzlies, and he only got 15 minutes of playing time.

...

In this way, the Jazz were pushed to the edge of the cliff.

Another step is to be doomed.

NBA history, when the series is 3-1, the chance of falling behind one side is 20%.

That is to say, it is very difficult.

So the end of this game, the fans who support the Grizzlies increased rapidly.

Even Spinach Company's bets have begun to be biased towards the Grizzlies.

...

In the fifth game, both sides returned to Memphis and fought again.

Coach Jerry Sloan gave the Jazz a shot of heart before the game.

“We are behind one to three.

But after careful analysis, the scores we lose in each game are single digits.

So, our strength is not worse than our opponents, but our luck is worse.

By now, we have been forced into a dead end and there is nothing to be afraid of. As long as we lose, we have to go home, so every game is our last one.

We will use all our strength to play the last game.”

Coach Sloan is worthy of being a veteran coach and is very reasonable.

The regular season record is fourth in the Grizzlies and fifth in the Jazz. There is no big gap between the two teams.

With Sloan's encouragement, the Jazz burst into strong combat power in the fifth game.

Especially Deron Williams, who strictly abides by the coach's tactics and plays very hard. He scored a triple-double in the playoffs with 16 points, 10 rebounds, 15 assists and 2 steals.

The "petty" Tyron Lu was completely crushed by Deron.

Under Delon's organization, the Jazz's army spent their lives.

Boozer should buy it with 25 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 2.

Kirilenko scored 15 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals, and 4 blocks.

Oku scored 14 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks.

Fisher scored 13 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.

The Jazz's five major starters scored in double digits and played very well as the substitute.

In the end, the Jazz defeated the Grizzlies 107:101 and won the Grizzlies at home, rewriting the big score to 2-3.

The situation changed instantly.

According to the first round of the series 22111, the sixth game will start in Salt Lake City.

Everyone knows that the energy program arena on the Salt Lake City Plateau is the home court of the Devil.

The Jazz almost never lost at home in the entire regular season.

It's too hard to win there!

So as long as the Jazz wins another game at home, the score will be 3-3, and the Grizzlies will be forced to a tiebreak battle.

That would be very bad for the Grizzlies!

So the Grizzlies held a tactical meeting to unify their thinking before heading to Salt Lake City.

We must not put our hopes on the tiebreak, but we must knock down the Jazz in this game and end the series.
Chapter completed!
