Anxi and Floyd Mayweather chatted while running slowly on the treadmill. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After chatting, Anxi learned that Martin Bunker had accompanied Mayweather to Memphis to participate in a boxing Grand Prix, but he saw Anxi showing such an unnatural physical fitness in the hotel......

An Xi was also very helpless, he knew that his physical fitness was very strong, but he didn't expect that there were still people in the boxing world who could look up to him, and he had been practicing basketball since he was a child, and now it is impossible for him to change boxing.

After chatting with Mayweather for a while and leaving each other's contact information, An Xi looked at the time and went back to the room.

On the evening of December 26, when the Spurs' away game against the Grizzlies was about to begin, Anxi got off the bus with his and Manu's bags, walked through the safe passage, and came to the visiting team's locker room.

"This game, let's take out Memphis!" As soon as the players were seated and began to change their jerseys, Popovich stood in the middle of the dressing room. "They finished us in eighth place last season! Completed the Black Eight Miracle! This season, we want to win all the games against them, and we want revenge! Whoever it is, you have to be at your best in this game! ”

After everyone changed their jerseys, Popovich began to announce the starting lineup for this game, and Anxi knew that it had nothing to do with him for the time being, so he didn't care.

"So the starters for today's game are, Tony Parker, Manuginobili, Richard Jefferson, DeJuan Blair and Tim Duncan, this is our lineup last season, I hope you can show a different performance than last season and break the opponents!"

Kawhi Leonard did not start, Thiago Split, who was still soy sauce last season, did not start, and the five players who started were the absolute main force of the Spurs last season, so just through the starting lineup, Greg Popovich has already set the tone for this game.

In the arena, the lights dimmed, and as the home team, the Grizzlies players came out one after another to the loud shouts of the DJs and the cheers and screams of the fans, Rudy Gay, Marc Gasol, Mike Conley, Tony Allen...... The last to come out was Zach Randolph.

Then the Spurs players came out, and the DJ's voice was much quieter, Tim Duncan was the first to play, and the DJ's voice was immediately covered by the boos of the fans at the scene.

And when Anxi came out, the boos were much quieter, but he was startled by a fanatical Grizzly Bear fan next to the players' tunnel, and when he ran out of the players' tunnel, the fan suddenly stretched out his head and his own hands and shouted at Anxi: "Defeated!" You're going to lose this game! ”

An Xi was speechless for a moment, it seems that Grizzlies fans still remember the victory and success of last season.

After a short warm-up, the race started quickly.

The Spurs fielded their predetermined starting lineup, and on the Grizzlies side, the starting point guard was Mike Conley, the starting scoring guard Tony Allen, the starting small forward Rudy Gay, the starting power forward Zach Randolph and the starting center Marc Gasol.

As soon as the whistle blew, the game officially began, Marc Gasol won the jump ball, and Mike Conley advanced to the front court with the ball, then stopped, and began to slowly organize the half-court attack.

Last season, with the arrival of Lionel Hollins, his defensive transformation of the Grizzlies was successful, and with the addition of the inner twin towers and the addition of Tony Allen on the outside, the Grizzlies have one of the toughest defenses in the league, and with defense, the Grizzlies completed a breakthrough in the playoffs, and the Black Eight defeated the Spurs and successfully entered the Western Conference semifinals.

The style of the Grizzlies team An Xi also knows a little bit, the Grizzlies' current style of play mainly relies on defense, and on the offensive end, the Grizzlies are better at positional warfare, they like to slow down the speed of the game, slowly grind positional battles, and gradually find their rhythm through this slow-paced offense and defense.

Mike Conley held the ball and dribbled for a while, and then Anxi saw Marc Gasol in a good position on the inside, Mike Conley passed, and Marc Gasol played DeJuan Blair with his back.

One is 2.16 meters, and the other is only 2 meters tall, Marc Gasol's back play quickly achieved results, and he pushed back, Marc Gasol got a space to shoot, turned around and jumped, and didn't score.

At the beginning of the game, Marc Gasol's hands were still a little cold.

Although he didn't score, Anxi still wanted to say that the Grizzlies' offensive strategy was right, and staring at DeJuan Blair for height would always have a certain effect.

The rebound was taken by Tim Duncan, the Spurs' offense, Parker asked for the ball from Duncan's hand, advanced to the frontcourt, and said hello, Anxi looked at it, this time the Spurs are going to play the No. 3 tactic, which is a tactic that is more inclined to let Duncan play.

Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili made a cross screen, the ball went into Manu's hand, Manu arced in, Duncan quickly raised the high post, another cross screen, at this point, the ball was in Duncan's hand.

The Spurs did a dizzying mix of passes, and the Grizzlies quickly messed up.

Duncan took two steps with the ball and was about to throw, Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph hurriedly pounced, but Duncan shook a feint and hit the ground directly, and DeJuan Blair on the inside cut into the penalty area without being defended, and after getting the ball, he dunked directly! 2 points!

Then, in the next defensive round, in the midst of Popovich's loud shouting, the Spurs increased the intensity of the rotation, and this time Marc Gasol wanted to repeat the old trick and hit DeJuan Blair with his back, but the Spurs were already not giving a chance.

The Spurs quickly changed defenses, Duncan faced Marc Gasol, and in the face of Duncan, who was veteran and had no disadvantage in height, Marc Gasol had no choice but to pass back, and the Grizzlies' low-post tactics failed.

After 8 minutes of the first quarter, the Grizzlies were dumb on the offensive end, and they could only rely on Zach Randolph to face DeJuan Blair's strong play, and the defensive end could not prevent the Spurs' veteran passing and cutting cooperation, and they fell behind by 16 points as soon as they came up.

As a last resort, Lionel Hollins called a timeout, and the Grizzlies had to adjust their offense.

After a pause, Popovich was very satisfied with the performance of the starting five tigers, praised a few words, and announced the substitution.

Kawhi Leonard replaces Richard Jefferson, Danny Green replaces Manuginobili, Thiago Split replaces DeJuan Blair, and it's clear that Popovich wants Duncan and Parker to bring in the new.

After the substitution, the Spurs' on-court lineup is younger and more reasonable, and the Grizzlies have also made some adjustments, they have replaced O.J. Mayo and strengthened the outside offense.
