Nick Young is the most important scoring point on the Grizzlies' bench this year. The Grizzlies signed him for one purpose, so that he could score with great energy.

Nick Young has not disappointed everyone. In addition to occasionally being able to perform at the magic level this season, he can also provide stable firepower output during rotation time. Just now, Nick Young received a pass from Vasquis one step outside the three-point line, and then without fear of Ginobili's interference, he shot a long three-pointer, and the basketball went into the net hollow!

After this goal, the score became 25-25, with 13.7 seconds left before the end of the first quarter, and the Spurs still have 13.7 seconds of offensive time.

Stevens shouted to direct the defense on the sidelines, while behind Stevens, Link, who was sitting on the bench, lowered his head and adjusted his breathing in big mouthfuls.

I was so tired today’s game!

The attack at the beginning of the game was simply a microcosm of the first quarter of the Grizzlies. In the subsequent games, the Grizzlies did not play any decent cooperation, and the Spurs' defense performed too well.

Therefore, Link could only attack under Leonard's strong defense again and again. Until now, Link scored 8 points in the first quarter, and none of these 8 points was easy. Whether it was shooting from the outside or attacking the box at close range, Link had to play under Leonard's tough defense.

The same goes for the rest of the Grizzlies. Apart from some simple transmissions, most of the offenses rely on difficult singles.

In this case, the rotation time does not change until the rotation time begins.

At this time, Nick Young's three-pointer allowed the Grizzlies to tie the score. But the crisis is not over yet, and the Spurs have another offensive opportunity.

Ginobili controlled the rhythm outside the three-point line and consumed offensive time. Tony Allen was ready to fight and kept a safe distance from Ginobili.

But once the "demon sword" becomes slutty, no distance is safe.

In the last 5.8 seconds of the first quarter, the Argentinian began to get ready. He called Dior, who was covered in coffee, to cover himself, and he was about to make a breakthrough.

But when Tony Allen retreated, the Argentinian unexpectedly retreated and retreated outside the three-point line. When Tony's teacher realized it, Ginobili had already made a three-pointer!

Red light shone on the rebound, and at the same time, the basketball was hollowed out into the net! Ginobili made a buzzer-beating shot, and the San Antonio Spurs gave the Grizzlies a heavy blow at the last moment of the first quarter!

"Manu Ginobili's ability to key balls is really incredible. With a buzzer at the last moment, Ginobili turned the score into 28-25. The San Antonio Spurs entered the second quarter with a 3-point advantage!"

Seeing Ginobili scored, Link couldn't help but lower his head. The first quarter was so difficult, and this was not the result the Grizzlies wanted.

Indeed, it seems that the difference between 3 points and points is nothing. But in the first quarter, the Grizzlies players have sufficient physical fitness. Wait until the second quarter, and wait until the second half?

At that time, it will be extremely difficult to recover a point!

Popovich embraced Ginobili, who walked off the court, and the existence of the Argentinian did not allow the Grizzlies to take advantage of the rotation time.

Now, the Grizzlies are playing very hard, and the rotation time cannot break the score. Popovich believes that he can slowly grind the Grizzlies to death today!

Facing a "behemoth" like a grizzly bear, it is difficult for you to kill it in one blow. But if you are strong enough and persevering enough, you can also kill it in long-term hand-to-hand combat!

"The Grizzlies are no longer able to play well. If you continue to waste this with them, even if they can hold on to the second quarter, it will never be possible to maintain strength in the second half! Think about who has been eliminated in the past two years! Today, they must be paid for their blood debts!" ​​Popovich waved his fist, like a general who was about to send soldiers to the battlefield.

In war, Popovich regards the game with the Grizzlies as a war. Since it is a war, he will never show any mercy!

"The Spurs don't let us play teamwork, but we have to find ways to do it ourselves. Play more pick-and-rolls and create misalignments and gaps. If you have an opportunity, you have to take decisive action. We must fight the Spurs desperately in every round!" Stevens didn't have a good idea. Now that he has arranged too complicated tactics, that's nonsense.

Given the current physical condition of the Grizzlies players, it is impossible to implement too complicated tactics.

The more complex the tactics are, the lower the success rate of execution will be. If it fails, the Spurs will seize the opportunity to fight back. Therefore, Stevens' strategy is still very simple, just to play more pick-and-rolls!

Now, it depends on whether the players can achieve simple tactics. To put it bluntly, the players themselves are the ones who ultimately compete with each other on the basketball court.

The break between the festival ended soon, and Leonard stepped into the court with confidence. Although he asked Link to score 8 points in the first quarter, he was sure that he had consumed Link's physical fitness a lot.

In the next three quarters, Link will only struggle more and more!

Before playing, Link said something to Stevens and Leonard respectively.

What I said to Stevens was, “Prepare me the bananas, Gatorade and dry towels.”

As for what he said to Leonard, this No. 2 was still scared, "Leon, who do you think I and you will be exhausted first?"

When the first quarter was over, Link was actually very worried. But if he was afraid, he would lose completely.

Isn’t the Spurs want to force themselves to play singles? I hope they won’t regret it!

Score mode, turn on!

Although he had a few minutes of rest, Hubby Brown was still very worried about the Grizzlies' physical condition. If the Warriors entered the garbage time in the last game, it would be fine, but the Warriors persisted stubbornly until the end, which undoubtedly caused too many troubles for the Grizzlies.

In the second quarter, the first attacker turned into the Spurs. Parker was in excellent condition today and scored 6 points in the first quarter, making his hands feel hot.

Conley didn't dare to directly increase his strength. After all, he hoped to achieve even physical distribution on both offense and defense. Faced with another cover from Duncan, Conley did not want to squeeze in, but hoped to bypass Duncan and block Parker.

There is no doubt that this is the most effective way to save physical fitness.

But if you do this, Parker will have room to fire. For a defender like Westbrook who is unstable in three-pointers, it is understandable to defend around the pick-and-roll from the back. But facing Parker with a hot touch, Conley's choice is a bit risky.

Sure enough, when Conley walked around behind Duncan, Parker fired directly from the three-point line! When the French warmed up today, he felt that he could shoot whatever he wanted. Coupled with his outstanding performance in the first quarter, he made him extremely confident in his current shooting.

However, Parker had just thrown the ball and the basketball was about to leave, but a "mountain" broke out and suddenly came to Parker, blocking the basket and all the lights.

Parker was shocked and could only see the big number 0 on the other party's jersey.

"Bang!" Link waved his arms in the air, his long arms whipped hard on the basketball, and Tony Parker's three-point shot was ruthlessly hit by volleyball!

"I was caught off guard! Link actively made up for defense and gave Tony Parker a bloody blow! The Spurs players would never have thought that Link could still play so aggressively!"

Hubby Brown was ready to praise Parker, but he didn't expect Link to come out halfway.

The guy rushed towards Parker at the moment Conley lost his position, with no sign of exhaustion at all.

The Spurs want to use physical factors to curb the Grizzlies and erase their enthusiasm, but Link doesn't let them get what they want!

Iguodala ran at the forefront and picked up the basketball that was blown out by Link. Then, without anyone defending, she stretched her body in the air and performed a tomahawk-style buckle for the home fans, with a perfect height and movement!

Link applauded hard and applauded Iguodala's goal. Afterwards, he looked at the Spurs' bench and looked at Popovich.

This time, the two did not speak to each other. But Link believed that there was a chance to confront Popovich later.

Afterwards, Duncan continued to make rashes in the inside line. This No. 21 guy didn't take action, but once he took action, he would be quite efficient.

This time, Duncan showed his signature 45° board shot. Duncan's movements were not fast, but every step was very stable, and it was difficult for Randolph to defend.

Duncan's goal stabilized the Spurs' morale, and Popovich also took a reassurance. But soon, the damn Grizzlies No. 0 made the old man's blood pressure soar again!

This time, the Spurs' defense followed the principles of the first quarter and forced Link to play singles!

Link didn't hide it anymore, and once the scoring mode was turned on, it couldn't be turned off.

He faced Leonard's entanglement outside the three-point line and called for the double cover of the Black and White Bears. Now, Leonard could not judge where Link would break through, so he could only rely on on-the-spot reaction.

Link took advantage of Leonard's hesitation and accelerated to the left! Gasol immediately crossed and blocked Leonard!

Brazilian center Split immediately rushed over to make up for the defense. Link suddenly paused, straightened his back, as if he wanted to shoot!

So the Brazilian did not hesitate and quickly jumped, hoping to give Link a block!

However, when Split was in the air, he realized that Link didn't even make a shooting move at all, it was just a fake action to worship Buddha!

Link easily passed by the Brazilian who had jumped up. Split wanted to chase him immediately after landing, but because of excessive force, his feet slipped and fell to the ground.

Originally, Split, who was 2.11 meters tall, could only look up and watch Link smash the ball into the frame with both hands.

Aren’t you going to force me to play singles? That’s the result!

With one offense and one defense, Link told the Spurs with his enthusiasm, "I'm not afraid of spending money with you. Even if I have to squeeze out the last bit of physical strength, I will do my best to fight!"

After scoring the goal, Link opened his hands and enjoyed the cheers that belonged only to the Tennessee Kings. Then, while passing by the Spurs bench, Link turned his head and yelled at Popovich.

"You will regret it, pop, I promise! You are giving me a chance to get high scores, watch!"

After continuing George Carl, another coach Qiansheng's authority was challenged by Link.

"Crazy, this guy is crazy!" Faced with Link's provocation, Popovich kept shook his head.

He is playing like this now, so he doesn't want to play the second half anymore.

But in fact, Popovich was still a little scared. He didn't know whether he had opened a road to victory or a Pandora's box today.
Chapter completed!
