On May 18, 2012, the Spurs left for Memphis. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This time was different from the one in Utah, because the gap between the second round of playoff games and the game was two days, so the Spurs rented a arena in the suburbs of Memphis as a temporary training hall.

The bus drove to the entrance of the training hall, and the players got off one after another to take out their luggage from under the bus.

An Xi dragged his suitcase to the training hall, but was stopped when he reached the door.

Stopping An Xi was a policeman who spoke a local Memphis dialect and said something that An Xi couldn't understand, and An Xi showed a blank expression.

Soon, everyone in the Spurs was stopped at the door, and Popovich walked to the front to talk to the cops.

"You can't go in, we got a call and someone said there was a bomb in this arena, so you have to wait for us to finish the bomb before you can go in. Finally, a policeman dressed with a star came out and explained.

"There's a bomb in there?" Popovich gave a funny expression, then squinted his eyes and continued: "Mr. Policeman, you can solve it, if it can't be solved, we can help you." ”

He glanced at An Xi, who was the first to arrive at the door, and said with a smile: "We can send An in to investigate, if it's okay, we will go in for training, if there is a bomb inside, at An's speed, it will be blown up at most, and there will be no big problem, and then we will close the team." ”

Popovich's ridicule made the scene burst into laughter, An Xi twitched the corner of his mouth, for the old disrespectful Popovich began to hurt himself again, watching his teammates laugh, An Xi could only pretend to be innocent.

The policeman with the star also smiled, but he wouldn't really let the Anxi Forbidden Area investigate, a few policemen checked around the stadium, and then half an hour later, the bomb crisis was lifted.

"I'm sorry, Coach Greg, maybe we got a false alarm, but there are no bombs in this arena. The policeman with the star came out a little embarrassed to apologize.

Popovich smiled meaningfully, it was clear that there were no bombs in the arena in the first place, and it should be Memphis people who were causing problems for the Spurs.

But it wasn't a big deal, after the bomb crisis was lifted, the Spurs started training in the training gym.

Although the Spurs won the last game, Popovich didn't dare to say that the Spurs would definitely crush the Grizzlies, so the Spurs' goal was very conservative, and when they came to Memphis, the Spurs' goal was to win at least one game and get the home loss back.

On May 19, 2012, the third game of the Western Conference semifinals between the Spurs and the Grizzlies will be played at the FedEx Arena, the home of the Grizzlies.

When he walked to the away team's locker room, a message popped up on Anxi's mobile phone.

Kelly Irving wins Rookie of the Year!"

Then, DeJuan Blair, who was next to him, also found out about the news: "Look, the league is starting to award awards again, Kelly Irving won the best rookie, tsk, what is his stat this year?"

An Xi put the bag down, then thought for a while and said, "18 plus 5, right? ”

"That's well deserved, Ann, I was just going to say how he could beat you to be the best rookie?"

Anxi pretended not to understand what De Juan Blair was saying, this fat man always likes to talk nonsense, but in the Spurs' locker room, only De Juan Blair has more words, if you count according to personality, De Juan Blair should be considered a bright sass, and Tim Duncan These are considered sullen.

Before the playoffs, the Spurs were relatively calm, and the game started quickly, and Anxi was still the starter in this game.

The Memphis were not polite to the Spurs, booing them as soon as the Spurs attacked, and the current playoff game is tied 1-1, and the Memphis also fantasizes that the Grizzlies can win two games in a row on their home court and win the series point.

However, reality dealt them a heavy blow, and at the beginning of the game, the Spurs started the offense first, with Tim Duncan winning the jump ball and slapping the basketball to Tony Parker.

After Tony Parker received the ball, he launched a fast break, rushed to the frontcourt, and took advantage of McConley's unstable footing to rush directly to the interior to complete a layup.

On the Grizzlies' side, there were a series of mistakes, Anxi seized on the Grizzlies' weak side of the defensive mistake and threw three points, Tim Duncan blocked Marc Gasol's layup on the inside, Zach Randolph jumped back, and Kawhi Leonard immediately changed hands, and at the same time turned back to steal McConley's pass, and launched another wave of fast breaks.

In just a few waves of offense, the Spurs opened up the difference......

Lionel Hollins had no choice but to call a timeout, and at present, the Grizzlies can't defend themselves, and they can't attack well, and they have fallen into a comprehensive disadvantage on the court.

Lionel Hollins couldn't make adjustments on the defensive end, so he thought about it for a while and decided to adjust the offense: "Next we play high post and high block, Mark, you are responsible for the response and cover, mention the high post, give Mike and Rudy their pass, understand?"

Marc Gasol nodded, the tactics of high-level strategy, he often played when he was in the national team, so it was not a big problem to change tactics temporarily.

Then Lionel Hollins drew a running map on the tactical board again, and the game restarted, and the Grizzlies began to switch to high post tactics, and Marc Gasol mentioned high post and made the ball for McConley and Rudy Gay, but because of the presence of Anxi, Rudy Gay and McConley only had McConley left to attack.

However, Lionel Hollins' change of tactics still had some effect, and the Grizzlies' offense slowly came alive, and after the first quarter, the Spurs entered the second quarter with a 34-26 lead of 8 points.

Although the Grizzlies have been trying their best to adjust and change, there is really no way to make up for the gap in strength.

At this point in the game, everything has been concluded, the Spurs have completely gained the upper hand, this series, the Spurs lost one game at home, after Popovich's clever adjustment, they directly won a wild victory, overpowering the Grizzlies, this battle, from the first quarter, still continued the same state.

"Judging by the first quarter, the Grizzlies are likely to lose four games in a row and be eliminated from the playoffs by the Spurs. ”

"That's right, the Grizzlies' strength is not as good as the Spurs, and the first offense and defense are suppressed by the Spurs, and they don't even have the hole cards to turn the tables. The game was still about Mike Tyrick and Hubby Brown, and the old coach Hubby Brown sighed.

In the second quarter, Lionel Hollins put Rudy Gay on the court with a bunch of substitutes, while Greg Popovich put Anxi on the court to deal with Rudy Gay.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Anxi stretched out his arms to face Rudy Guy, who was holding the ball.
