1346.Popovich the Fried (3rd Update)
On the contrary, from a certain point of view, the Grizzlies still have some advantages on their side!
It wasn't the advantage of this game, as the Spurs kept their lead above five points.
But in the face of Sun Ce's chaotic offensive play at the expense of physical strength, the Spurs always have a time when they can't defend themselves, and when Dioce should fail, the three strongest stars on the outside of the Spurs will definitely have to make up for the points Sun Ce gets, and the consumption will be greater.
** Vicky can see that maybe the opposite manager didn't want to snatch home advantage from the first game at all, but planned it from the beginning and consumed them from the beginning!
It's just that at the beginning, ** Vic didn't see it, as the game deepened, ** Vic discovered the strategy of the opposing head coach, and he felt that maybe the Grizzlies players didn't know the strategic ideas in this regard!
But in the face of this situation, Vicky can't adjust randomly, can't replace Duncan in advance like in the last game of the regular season, and now even change the pitcher to replace Parker, Ginobili, Guy, create better space to contain, the opponent is to die defensively, change the pitcher, can only be consumed.
This time, Vicky felt that he really underestimated the opposite head coach, he used to think that the opposite head coach was just a coach who had a clear mind and occasionally had strange tricks, but now he found that the other party is more and more like the strongest opponent he used to be - Phil Jackson in terms of overall planning!
After the official timeout, the Grizzlies only replaced Gasol Jr. with Larry Sanders to guard the basket, still one big and four small, Sun Ce, Beverley, Tony Allen, and Battier continued to defend stubbornly.
From 46-40 to 54-47, the Spurs extended their one-point lead and spent more than five minutes of play, and in these five minutes, the Spurs only scored 8 points!
Although the Grizzlies only scored 7 points, this was tantamount to torture for the ** Vicky on the sidelines, watching Ginobili not move, only Parker and Guy could score alone.
** Vicky really didn't expect someone to be able to limit the explosive Ginobili, the last time this happened in the playoffs, it was the 07-08 season in the Western Finals, Kobe Bryant defended Ginobili to only 35 percent shooting, and in the first two rounds of the playoffs that year, Ginobili was in excellent shape, especially in the second round of that year, Ginobili averaged 3.1 three-pointers per game on Paul's head.
Although Ginobili is 5 years older than he was at that time, it can be seen from the two three-pointers and one breakthrough of Klay Thompson that Ginobili just didn't hold on long enough, and the number of times can still be continued.
But this time, Ginobili played a good ball for 4 minutes, and was locked up by the Grizzlies' defensive formation adjustment, wasting the remaining half of the breaking time.
Moreover, Vicky also deliberately replaced Parker to contain Sun Ce, but in any case, he never imagined that the other party would be so ruthless.
Watching Parker miss a shot under Beverley's mad dog-like defense, watching with 3 minutes and 24 seconds left in the first half, Vicky was ready to call a timeout, and after this defense, he called a timeout when the ball reached their Spurs.
The lineup of George Hill, Patrick Mills, Danny Green, Duncan, and Split who were not substituted can get rid of the feeling of being consumed by the opponent in the past five minutes.
When it came to the Grizzlies' offense, Sun Ce advanced to the frontcourt, and in the past 5 minutes, he scored 5 points, and made 6 shots, 2 of 6 shots.
Aiming at the figure of the opposite bench walking, Sun Ce knew that it was time for the opponent to replace Duncan, who generally played 15-16 minutes in the first half of this year's playoffs and about 20 minutes in the second half.
It's so hard! Sun Ce felt that his physical strength was close to the limit, playing the Spurs in the playoffs was more tiring than playing any team, and he didn't know what star experience card was better to use now, the opponent was too special, and his own team tried his best to barely compete with the opposite side.
If you are not careful with the choice of the star experience card, it is very likely to cause fluctuations on your own side, and be taken away by a wave of stable and strong strength of the opponent, such as the Lakers and the Heat, and the regular season has been directly killed by the Spurs with a wave of climaxes.
You have to make a careful choice, and the remaining cards are rarely Kobe Bryant, Jordan, and Admiral cards, which are the kind of cards that will definitely be greatly improved when he is a big central defender, and the star experience card must also be selected according to the opponent and the game situation.
After half the time, Sun Ce withdrew his divergent thinking and concentrated his attention.
Looking at Guy who was guarding the top arc, Sun Ce knew that the opponent had played for more than 20 minutes in a row, and was forced to fall into a defensive battle, Guy was not happy, he was the opponent's best physical player, yes, he could play an average of 40 minutes per game, but in the past few minutes, when Parker and Ginobili were restricted, he had to be responsible for both offense and defense, and the consumption was also very large.
After the middle circle, Sun Ce began to lean over and accelerate, Guy was ready to turn around at any time to chase Sun Ce's shot, Sun Ce had no chance to shoot three points, and Guy stood on the three-point line to defend.
Sun Ce gave Tony Allen a look while he was on the move, and rushed all the way to the right side of the three-second zone to cross the three-point line, Guy immediately moved in the direction of Sun Ce's breakthrough, maintaining a position that could interfere with Sun Ce's mid-distance stride shot, at this time Sun Ce's right foot stepped into it and retracted suddenly, turned to face the top arc, and leaned over again, unlike the slow acceleration in the middle circle just now, this time Sun Ce rushed out with all his might!
Guy immediately turned around to chase after him, his explosive speed was a step faster than Sun Ce's, and he was not afraid of Sun Ce's change of direction, but he was blocked by Tony Allen!
At the moment of getting rid of Guy, Sun Ce immediately stopped and turned to face the basket, and Ginobili immediately changed his guard in place and stuck to Sun Ce.
Sun Ce didn't adjust the tempo and retreat or sideways to create space, and with a slow slap Guy was able to bypass the block and shoot from outside the three-point line, and Sun Ce pulled up directly under Ginobili's defense...... Bet on three points!
"Trigger level 4 of the ball-holding and pick-and-roll expert, and the host's three-point shooting ability evaluation has been increased to S -......"
"The error level 2 is triggered, because the height difference reaches 8 cm, the host's confrontation interference in this attack is greatly reduced......"
Every time he played with Mr. Tony, these two skills could be triggered, but in the past two three-point shots, Sun Ce's attention was not disturbed by the prompts of the triggered skills, and he forced the jump against the Ginobili sticker defense, and when the impact of the jump was weakened, he aimed at the basket with all his strength and threw the ball......
Kwame Brown jammed Gasol Jr. under the basket, Dio was ready to pick up the defensive rebound, and Vicky was ready to call a timeout...... But!
Sun Ce entered!
