1351. The counterattack of the three elders of the Spurs (the 8th shift is full of 5800 monthly tickets plus changes)
Both teams began to rotate, but compared to the previous one, the two teams made few substitutions this time, and on the Grizzlies' side, Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Randolph, and Gasol Jr. came on the court.
On the Spurs' side, Parker, Ginobili, Gay, Duncan, and Kwame Brown played.
Due to the scorching score, both teams either defended or ran with all their might to play fast-paced attack.
This is the advantage of the Grizzlies, yes, the change of tempo is one of the Grizzlies' winning weapons, but in the first half of the fourth quarter, the scoring efficiency dropped significantly.
That is, the Spurs are strong enough, and they did a good job of changing the rhythm in the face of the Grizzlies, so they tightened the score when the Grizzlies repeatedly scored key goals.
But now the Spurs are not ready to play fast break, ** Vicky is impatient, but keenly judged that the opponent is unlikely to change to one big or four small, Prince because Beverley wants to enter the activation list to defend Parker, to leave a third center backup did not enter the activation list, Battier played for a long time in front, so he went to the twin towers.
Now both teams are ready to play positional battles, both offensively and defensively.
The official timeout ended, and to the cheers of the fans at the scene, the Spurs served the ball in the frontcourt.
109 to 106, Sun Ce kept up with Parker, 3 points difference, but it was not so safe, he was almost about to win, Sun Ce was very focused, and he didn't dare to relax at all.
The Spurs played very well for the first offense after returning from an official timeout, with Ginobili receiving the ball in the bottom corner and shooting a three-point shot before Randolph switched defenses......
The match was very good, but it didn't go in!
Sun Ce picked up Gasol Jr. and blocked Duncan to receive the defensive rebound!
However, when it came to the Grizzlies' offense, they didn't score, and Gasol Jr.'s free-throw line jumper was iron.
The defense of both teams is extremely clear and targeted, and Ginobili's side did not play well in the third quarter, so the Grizzlies made it clear that they can vacate him, but they have to block others, and at this time, Kwame Brown's cake can't be let go, and this is not the time to block the other players of the Spurs who can miss the cake.
But the Spurs, on their side, were also very bold to let go of Gasol Jr., who scored 6 points in the second half of the third quarter, but unfortunately Gasol Jr. didn't score, and they bet right.
At this time, the physical strength of the players of both teams has dropped significantly, so the successful blocking and dismantling looks easy to have chances, but the defense that follows closely also looks very good, and it is more dependent on the individual ability and state of the players to score.
Among them, the easiest to find opportunities is offensive rebounding!
After more than two minutes of anxiety, Randolph grabbed two offensive rebounds in a row at 9:14 and 9:58 to help the Grizzlies go on a 4-1 run!
More than 3 minutes after the official timeout came back, more than two minutes in the first two minutes, the two teams only scored 3 points each, but Randolph's two offensive rebounds broke the deadlock, and the Grizzlies stretched the difference to 7 points 116-110!
With 2:02 left, the Grizzlies look like they're about to seal the win!
The Spurs called a timeout, but after the timeout came back, although the Spurs stopped the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies missed two shots, but the Spurs missed two three-point shots at 10:16 and 11:04!
Just as Sun Ce was about to snatch the Spurs' second missed three-point rebound, a hand reached out from in front of him and tossed the ball to the outside.
Ginobili, who had missed two consecutive shots just now, received the ball, was not timid, and made another three-point shot...... Finally, in!
113-116, the Spurs narrowed the gap to 3 points!
Sun Ce didn't jump up this ball, he was too tired, but he didn't expect Duncan, an old monster, to be able to jump at this time!
Everyone has reached the limit, Sun Ce didn't expect this aristocrat to jump up and grab the offensive rebound, and Ginobili has missed 3 consecutive three-point shots in the second half of the fourth quarter!
Watching the Spurs retreat with all their might, the troika and Kwame Brown are all veterans over 30 years old, and they have been playing for at least 12 years.
Sun Ce took a deep breath and felt that his body was a little too fast to support it, but now, they still have a 3-point lead, and the opponent is almost unable to shoot, only Paul George and Klay Thompson need to defend Guy, they still have an advantage, the ball just now was indeed an accident, and they didn't protect the defensive rebound.
It's going to take time now, and of course, scoring goals is more important!
With 24 seconds left in the offensive time, Sun Ce saw that his teammates had no chance, so he chose to come by himself, and feint to force a three-point shot with his foot withdrawn...... The action was very skillful, and Guy's side didn't keep up, but at this moment, Sun Ce seemed to be possessed by No. 8 or No. 24, and shot a hollow outside the basket!
Moreover, Parker, who won the rebound, ran with Duncan and Ginobili, Gay, and Kwame Brown!
The troika, the high school champion, and Wheat Die are not willing to give up! Especially when the opportunity comes, I want to seize it!
The Grizzlies tried their best to block Guy and Ginobili's mid-range shots, and Sun Ce and Randolph also retracted to block Duncan and Kwame Brown, but at this time, Parker shot directly from the outside!
Gasol Jr. retracted and pounced on it but failed to interfere, and Parker's three-point shot was originally a gamble on luck!
Under the basket, Sun Ce, Randolph, Kwame Brown, Duncan and Paul George, who came back from the contraction, fought for the rebound like a fight, but they didn't get it.
Immediately following Ginobili's key three-pointer, Parker tied the score with a three-point shot!
116 to 116, the score of the two teams is tied!
In the past 11 minutes and 36 seconds, the Spurs have played a 27-23 score to tie it!
Coach Hollins had already stood up, and after Ginobili's three-point shot, he wanted to call a timeout, but he didn't, he was worried that he would call a timeout, and Sun Ce might be difficult to get into a nervous physical state again because he sat down and stood up, but he didn't expect the offense to score, and Parker actually scored three points!
Coach Hollins was about to make a pause gesture when he saw Sun Ce waving at him.
couldn't help but call a timeout, at this time, he chose to believe Sun Ce, even if Sun Ce just threw a three-no-stick, didn't there be a player who killed three no-dips twice in a row at a critical moment, and now that guy is called the greatest player in the active service.
Sun Ce received the ball with a tired look, advancing slowly, looking like he was "inspirational" and unwilling to give up after reaching his limit.
After the middle circle, Sun Ce began to consume time, his body fluctuated greatly, and Sun Ce was trying to adjust in the eyes of opponents and teammates, fans at the scene, fans and players watching close-ups in front of the TV.
But they don't give up their hopes, especially the players, they know that when they reach the limit, it's really the limit.
