Chapter 719: This One Can Be Abandoned
The Spurs scored 40 points in a single quarter of the playoffs!
Three-pointers were thrown in 11 in a single quarter of the playoffs!
And a couple of half-court three-pointers!
Take any of these out, they are all very scary data, generally speaking, when you hear this kind of news, everyone's first reaction is, who is Spurs abusing again?
But today, the Spurs scored such terrible statistics in the third quarter, and they still lagged behind their opponents!
It's only two points, but it's really lagging behind!
The grizzly bear, unknowingly, has worked a miracle!
The first team of this season can only compete with the Spurs in a wave of form.
This season, the first team to survive by the Spurs.
This season's first Spurs to be swept through the entire quarter, how can they still lead the team!
"What should I do?"
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Spurs made substitutions, and Qin Yan and others rested on the bench.
Qin Yan played a full 12 minutes in the third quarter, and of the 11 three-pointers thrown in the third quarter, 5 were thrown by him, three of which were half-court three-pointers and two were ultra-long.
Don't think it's easy to throw that kind of ball, that kind of ball can waste mental and physical strength (this is not throwing around, it's really throwing skillfully), the ultra-long distance depends on the strength of the wrist, and now Qin Yan feels that his right wrist is very sore.
Fortunately, he can control the ball with his left and right hands, otherwise he would have made a fool of himself.
"We played so well just now, but we didn't chase the difference back?"
"I only chased 7 points back, and I played for so long at once, and now many people can't keep up with their physical strength."
Everyone on the Spurs bench was talking about something in a low voice, indeed, in the third quarter just now, the Spurs' outside team was really desperate, they played the most wonderful outside offense since the playoffs this season, and they did achieve brilliant results.
But the team still loses by two points, which is really nothing to say, and this can only show luck otherwise.
The Grizzlies are really good on the inside today, and the Spurs' small lineup has not played this season, but when other teams use the inside line to carry them hard, they really can't carry them.
Only grizzly bears! Under the leadership of the black and white bears, he bit the score hard!
Although they didn't score as much as the Spurs in this quarter, they still held their lead at the beginning of the fourth quarter by relying on the nine-point lead in the first half.
On the Spurs' side, Qin Yan was putting ice packs on his wrists, and the continuous ultra-long three-pointers and a large amount of ball possession in the third quarter made his wrists sore and soft when he got off the court, and now it actually hurts a little.
If you don't deal with this urgently, I'm afraid there will be a big problem.
Some people will wonder, aren't all super long points thrown, how can it hurt wrists?
That's someone else, Qin Yan's ultra-long three-point shots are the most standard kind, he almost concentrates all the strength of his body on his wrist, and then projects the ball, so there will be a "whoosh" sound when he shoots, just like archery.
The number of times this kind of ball can be played in a game is limited, the hitting rate is subject to the state of the pitcher on the day, and Qin Yan's current range is only half court, otherwise he will shoot casually after receiving it in his own half, so is there still any play in the game?
The Spurs' interior team did not perform well today, except for Duncan, who was quite remarkable, within the normal range, everyone else was in a state of explosion.
Especially the Spurs' new star Whiteside, in this game, Whiteside, who uses defense as his food capital, was actually beaten into a sieve by the Grizzlies on the inside.
Gasol Jr. is holding high and playing high, his shooting range is long and the basic skills under the basket are very solid, using his height and weight, Gasol Jr. has repeatedly eaten Whiteside head-on!
Whiteside didn't foul too many fouls, though, which is commendable. And maybe the only good news. In the center-forward duel, Whiteside suffered today.
Randolph beats Whiteside by weight, although Whiteside does not necessarily give Randolph weight to Whiteside, but Whiteside is high! He is 10 centimeters faster than Randolph, so the whole person looks longer and thinner......
Such a figure collides with Randolph's ball-like body, and it's hard for Whiteside not to suffer!
Split on the inside, this guy is too slow, and his movement speed is actually slower than that of Gasol Jr., I really don't know how he exercises, the more he exercises, the more he goes back.
As for Dior, forget it, I won't talk about him, after all, it's not a serious insider, and it's normal to be bullied.
In addition, the Grizzlies do not have a new force like Koufus, even if Duncan on the Spurs' side has the feeling of "cheap rice and rice, ten pounds of meat", the entire interior line will not be able to hold up!
And in the fourth quarter, after the Spurs came down to rest after struggling for a whole third period, their interior line could not stand up to the Grizzlies, and could only watch them wreak havoc under the basket.
"Can this game be saved?" Parker asked with some concern, as a super point guard, Parker brushed a lot of assists in the third quarter, but it was still useless, he was about to take out the trick at the bottom of the box, the team was still behind, and now looking at the trend, the point difference is getting bigger and bigger.
"Alas, I miscalculated, I didn't expect the Grizzlies to be so fierce!"
Popovich exaggeratedly said that everyone knows that the old coach's expression is made for the current media to see, if this is in the locker room, I believe that Popovich has already scolded, what a miscalculation? What counts? Honestly train me!
"Qin, your wrist?"
After watching the game for a while, he found that the team's morale was not up, and it was suppressed to death, Leonard was also a little worried, so he hurriedly asked.
"It's okay, it's just the first time to shoot so many long-range three-pointers, and it's just a little uncomfortable."
"Do you think this game is still saved?"
While they were talking, the outside fire from the Grizzly Bear's side suddenly came!
Carter Sr., he took the lead in opening the door to the Grizzlies, and the first two three-pointers of the Grizzlies in the fourth quarter were his!
Originally, it was difficult enough to clean up their inside line, but now the outside line is also coming to join in the fun, so how can the Spurs defend? I thought wrong about the tactics before the game!
"If I say something unpleasant, you can give up." Qin Yan lowered his body and leaned a little between the three of them.
After all, there are still people in the team fighting for victory, so you can't say that kind of very frustrating thing at this time, right?
"That's what you think?"
Everyone was surprised, today is really strange, the team can't score 40 points in a single quarter and the opponent continues to fall behind, the team's most combative people decided to give up the game, is this still the Spurs we are familiar with?
"There's no way, this one can only lose first, too many of us need to recover our form, after all, the second round has been resting for too long."
Of course, this sentence is also reasonable, after all, Spurs are not gods, they are also human beings, and human beings make mistakes!
Grizzly Bear, Grizzly Bear, now we give you the first game, if you have the ability, you can really win the first game......
