1144. The pinnacle spurs are coming! (The 4th is asking for a commuter pass!) )
An All-Star level small forward has been integrated, Split has grown up as a center who can carry the basket, and has persuaded Kwame Brown not to exercise the player option to take a pay cut and renew his contract...... Maybe Split and Kwame Brown change teams, that is, ordinary substitute centers, and the flaws are obvious, but in the Spurs system, the two supplement the last shortcoming of the Spurs!
Although Ginobili was plagued by injuries this season, he still averaged 12 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists per game, and the impact of Ginobili's decline was minimized when Duncan inexplicably played another S-level performance, Guy was integrated, and the system was more perfect.
After the game started, the Grizzlies team did a good job defensively, but they couldn't stop the Spurs!
The Spurs went all out against the Grizzlies, shooting 14-of-20 from the field in the first quarter with a 70 percent shooting percentage!
36-20 in a single quarter, the Spurs opened the difference to 15 points in the first quarter!
After the first quarter, Sun Ce was beaten so that he didn't know what to do, he finally understood what happened in the 2014 Finals, why the Heat team has such a strong outside rotation defense, but the Spurs hit 46% of the three-point shooting rate, you must know that the three-point strength is as strong as the Warriors who won 3 championships in 4 years, and the average three-point shooting rate in the finals is less than 40%.
Tonight, the Grizzlies were shot by the Spurs with 4 three-pointers in the first quarter! 4 out of 6!
Everyone can pass, everyone can vote, and they cooperate well and run smoothly...... There are almost no weaknesses!
Sun Ce, who played the first quarter and scored 8 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists on 3-of-9 shooting, continued to play in the second quarter and fought harder than in the first quarter.
The Spurs attach great importance to this and have strengthened their defense against Sun Ce, who has been fighting for three years, and they know that Sun Ce's play like this is a precursor to an outbreak.
In the eyes of the Spurs' coaching staff and players, the most terrifying thing about Sun Ce is that he is strong when he is strong!
Sun Ce tried his best, scoring 4 points, 4 boards, 2 assists, 1 block and 2 steals in the second quarter, plus Nash's 5 points and 4 assists, helping the Grizzlies play their offense better in the second quarter, scoring 28 points in a single quarter, which was really hard, and at the same time limited the Spurs' score to 26 points in a single quarter, narrowing the gap by two points.
The Grizzlies coaching staff is also trying to figure out a way, the Spurs' 70 percent shooting rate in the first quarter feels incredible, and even the TV commentator said that the Spurs' shooting rate finally fell below 70 percent after Sun Ce completed the block on Duncan in the second quarter, but the Spurs still had 11 of 19 shots in the second quarter, but the Grizzlies defended the opponent's three-point better, but relatively speaking, the opponent's cutting opportunities have become more, and Duncan and Gay's mid-range shooting opportunities have also become more.
The Grizzlies expected the Spurs to be stronger than last season, but the degree of strength is beyond imagination.
The Grizzlies were well prepared, but it was still not enough, and at halftime, Sun Ce discussed possible problems with Coach Hollins and others on the Spurs' side.
Relatively speaking, Sun Ce found that the opponent's defense was actually not so good, mainly because the opponent's offense stunned the opponent, especially those teams that did not have a particularly tough mentality, and they were all beaten desperately.
Sun Ce learned a little from the Lakers and Mavericks playing against the Spurs, these two teams also fell behind by more than 10 points in the first quarter, and the Lakers fell behind by 22 points at halftime, but they came back in the third quarter.
Sun Ce doesn't believe that there is a team that can have no weaknesses, he feels that this Spurs team still has weaknesses, that is, continuity, not that the Spurs are not strong except for the back of the first quarter, but they are relatively not that strong.
This time it was they who were not ready, and ...... It doesn't seem to be a good way to prepare, you have to compete with the opponent in the first quarter, at least you can't come up and fall behind by almost 20 points, which is not a good fight.
Put together!
This is the way Sun Ce got from Nowitzki and Kobe Bryant when they played the Spurs.
After halftime, Sun Ce played physical medicine and changed his jersey, without using Jordan card, the first time he played, he had to go all out with his teammates to try to see if he could find a chance to turn the tables, after all, not every time there is a hanging.
This is especially true in the playoffs, it can't be said that when you meet the Spurs, you will use all the accumulated strong cards, and then when you meet the Thunder, Lakers, Mavericks, and Heat, there is the same critical situation but the overall state of your own side is not very good, and you can hang it up.
Moreover, even if Jordan himself leads his most peak lineup, a tiebreaker game may not necessarily win against the Spurs, and this season the Spurs are definitely one of the strongest teams in NBA history!
The regular season is used to find the weaknesses of the opponent and find his own weaknesses, Sun Ce suppressed his excitement, he was eager to have stronger strength to play against the Spurs.
In the third quarter, the Grizzlies' lineup of Sun Ce, Paul George, Klay Thompson, Randolph, and Larry Sanders played a good role, once relying on Sun Ce and Klay Thompson to score 3 three-pointers in a row to narrow the gap to 8 points, but then Ginobili scored 7 points in a row, plus Guy hit a backward jumper in the face of Sun Ce, playing a wave of 9-3, and once again stretched the difference to double digits.
Both teams are trying to make adjustments, with Coach Hollins on the Grizzlies' side using the big reversal as a strategic basis to make substitutions or adjust defensive tactics.
The Spurs are constantly doing small Zheng in a small range, obviously Popovich didn't expect the Grizzlies to be so tenacious, as a defensive team, after being scored 36 points in a single quarter by the opponent, they can still hold on to their mentality, even the Pistons team of the year can't do it!
Moreover, relying on Sun Ce's "A-level leader light", Sun Ce is unwilling to give up, and he can always infect his teammates, and his teammates are not willing to give up.
In the second half, the two teams did not dare to relax for a moment, Duncan's playing time was significantly higher than usual, usually playing an average of 30 minutes per game, and tonight more than halfway through the fourth quarter, he has already played 33 minutes.
The Grizzlies once narrowed the gap to five points in the eighth minute of the fourth quarter, but the Spurs didn't drop the chain at a critical moment, and Guy drew two consecutive fouls and hit all four free throws to open the gap again.
This wave of 6-0, Sun Ce's 1 top arc three-pointer, Paul George's mid-range shot, and Gasol Jr.'s 2-of-2 free throws were already the last impact of the Grizzlies.
In the second half, they pressed the deficit to within 10 points several times, but soon the opponent made adjustments and was able to pull away again......
In the end, with Guy playing 41 minutes and scoring 29 points, Duncan playing 39 minutes and scoring 22 points, 12 boards, 3 blocks and 3 assists, Parker scoring 18 points and 9 assists, Danny Green scoring 21 points with 5 three-pointers, and Dio scoring 7 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, the Spurs defeated the Grizzlies 108-96!
