Nick. Young is the most important scorer on the Grizzlies bench this year, and the Grizzlies signed him for one purpose in the first place, allowing him to score aggressively.

Nick. Yang also lived up to expectations, in addition to occasionally convulsing to play god-level performances this season, he was also able to provide stable firepower output during rotation time. Just now, Nick. Young received a pass from Vasquith one step outside the three-point line, and then defied Ginobili's interference and threw a long-range three-pointer, and the basketball hollowed into the net!

After that shot, the score was tied at 25-25, with 13.7 seconds left before the end of the first quarter, and the Spurs also had 13.7 seconds to attack.

Stevens shouted on the sidelines to command the defense, while behind Stevens, Link, who was sitting on the bench, hung his head and gulped his breathing.

I was so tired from today's game!

That offense at the beginning of the game was simply a microcosm of the Grizzlies' first quarter of the game. In the rest of the game, the Grizzlies didn't play any decent matchup, and the Spurs' defense executed too well.

As a result, Link could only attack again and again under Leonard's strong defense. So far in the first quarter, Link has scored 8 points, and none of those 8 points are easy. Whether it's a shot from the perimeter or an attack from close range, Link has to do it under Leonard's tough defense.

The Grizzlies are the same for the rest of the team, with the exception of a few simple pass-throughs, and most of the offense is based on tough singles.

This didn't change until the rotation time began.

At this point, Nick. Young's three-pointer allowed the Grizzlies to tie the score. But the crisis is not over yet, and the Spurs have one more chance to attack.

Ginobili controls the tempo from beyond the three-point line and consumes offensive time. Tony. Aaron was on the lookout, keeping a safe distance from Ginobili.

But once the "demon knife" is in turmoil, there is no distance to be safe.

In the last 5.8 seconds of the first quarter, the Argentine began to move. He called the coffee-smelling Dior to cover himself and was about to break through.

But in Tony. As Allen stepped back, the Argentine took an unexpected step back and dropped back beyond the three-point line. By the time Mr. Tony reacted, Ginobili had already made a three-point shot!

The rebound glows red, and at the same time, the basketball hollows into the net! Ginobili hit a buzzer-beating shot, and the San Antonio Spurs gave the Grizzlies a blow in the final moments of the first quarter!

"Manu. Ginobili's ability to make key shots was really incredible, and with a final whistle, Ginobili turned the score into 28-25, and the San Antonio Spurs entered the second quarter with a 3-point advantage! ”

Seeing Ginobili score, Link couldn't help but hang his head. The game was so tough in the first quarter, and it wasn't what the Grizzlies wanted.

Indeed, it seems that the difference of 3 points is nothing. But in the first quarter, the Grizzlies players were still quite fit. Wait until the second quarter, wait until the second half?

When the time comes, it will be extremely difficult to recover a single point!

Popovich hugged Ginobili as he walked off the court, and the Argentine's presence did not allow the Grizzlies to take advantage of the rotation time.

Right now, the Grizzlies are playing very hard in the starters, and the rotation time can't open the score. Popovich believes that he can slowly grind the grizzly bear to death today!

In the face of a "behemoth" like a grizzly bear, it is difficult to kill it in one blow. But if you are strong enough and persevering, you can kill them in long-term hand-to-hand combat!

"Playing well, the Grizzlies are no longer good. If they continue to wear out like this, even if they can survive the second quarter, they will never be able to maintain the intensity in the second half! Think about who we've been knocked out of the competition in the past two years! Today, they must be paid in blood! Popovich swung his fist like a general about to send his soldiers into battle.

War, Popovich treated the game against the Grizzlies as a war. Since it is a war, there will be no mercy!

"The Spurs didn't let us play as a team, but we had to figure it out on our own. Playing more blocks and dismantling to create dislocations and gaps. We have to be decisive when we get the chance, and we have to fight hard with the Spurs in every round! "Stevens doesn't have a good idea, and now it's too complicated to set up tactics, and that's.

With the current physical condition of the Grizzlies players, it is simply impossible to execute too complex tactics.

The more complex the tactic, the lower the success rate of execution. If it fails, it will be seized by the Spurs to counterattack. Therefore, Stevens' strategy is still very simple, which is to play more blocks and dismantles!

Now, it's up to the players to see if they can play the simple tactics to the effect. To put it bluntly, it is the players themselves who end up playing with each other on the basketball court.

The break ended quickly and Leonard stepped onto the court with confidence, and although he allowed Link to score eight points in the first quarter, he was convinced that he had greatly drained Link's energy.

In the next three quarters of the game, Link will only struggle more and more!

And Link said a word to Stevens and Leonard before he came on the court.

What I said to Stevens was, "Get me bananas, Gatorade, and dry towels." ”

As for what he said to Leonard, it made this No. 2 feel palpitations, "Leon, do you think that me or you, who will be exhausted to death first?" ”

At the end of the first quarter, Link was actually worried. But if you're afraid, you'll lose completely.

Isn't what the Spurs want to be a single-player? I hope they won't regret it!

Scoring mode, on!

Although there was a break of a few minutes, Hubi. Brown is still very concerned about the Grizzlies' starting fitness. The last game against the Warriors would have been fine if it had entered garbage time, but the Warriors stubbornly persevered to the end, which undoubtedly caused too much trouble for the Grizzlies.

In the second quarter of the game, the first attack became the Spurs. Parker was in excellent form today, scoring six points in the first quarter, and his hand was hot.

Conley didn't dare to go straight to the intensity, after all, he wanted to have an even distribution of energy on both ends of the floor. In the face of another cover from Duncan, Conley didn't want to squeeze through, but wanted to bypass Duncan and block Parker again.

Without a doubt, this is the most energy-efficient way to save energy.

But if he does, Parker will be given room to fire. For a three-point shaky guard like Westbrook, there's nothing wrong with going around the defense from behind. But in the face of Parker, who has a hot hand, Conley's choice is a bit risky.

Sure enough, when Conley went around behind Duncan, Parker fired directly outside the three-point line! The Frenchman felt how he shot when he warmed up today, and his excellent performance in the first quarter made him extremely confident in his current shot.

However, Parker had just thrown the ball out and the basketball was about to leave his hand, when a "mountain" broke through the ground and suddenly crossed in front of Parker, blocking the basket and all the lights.

The stunned Parker couldn't see anything, only the big number on the opponent's jersey - 0.

"Bang!" Link waved his arms in the air, his long arms like whips, and slammed them into the basketball. Parker's three-point shooting was tragically attacked by volleyball!

"It's been offended! Link actively made up for it and rewarded Tony. Parker's bloody slap! The Spurs players would never have imagined that Link could still play so aggressively! ”

Hubi. Brown was ready to praise Parker, but Link didn't expect to kill him halfway.

The guy rushed towards Parker the moment Conley was out of position, showing no signs of running out of energy.

The Spurs wanted to use the physical factor to contain the Grizzlies and kill their enthusiasm, but Link didn't let them get their wish!

Iguodala ran as fast as he could, rushing to the front and picking up the basketball that had been fanned out by Link. Then, unguarded, he stretched out his body in the air and performed a tomahawk slam for the home fans with perfect power, height and movement!

Link applauded hard and applauded Iguodala's goal. After that, he looked at the Spurs' bench and looked at Popovich.

This time, the two did not speak to each other. But Link believes he has a chance to confront Popovich later.

After the Spurs' offense, Duncan continued to make mistakes on the inside. This No. 21 big guy doesn't make a move, and once he does, it's quite efficient.

This time, Duncan showed off his trademark 45-degree shot. Duncan's movements weren't fast, but every step was very steady and Randolph was hard to defend.

Duncan's goal was a stabilizer for the Spurs, and Popovich was also reassured. But soon, that damn grizzly bear No. 0 made the old man's blood pressure soar again!

This time, the Spurs' defense followed the principles of the first quarter and forced Link to play alone!

Link doesn't hide it anymore, and once the scoring mode is turned on, it can't be turned off.

He tangled around Leonard outside the three-point line and called for double cover from the black and white bears. At this point, Leonard couldn't judge which side Link would break through, so he could only rely on on-the-spot reactions.

Link took advantage of Leonard's hesitation and accelerated to the left! Gasol immediately turned sideways and blocked Leonard!

Brazilian center Split immediately rushed over to make up for the defense, and Link suddenly paused, straightened his waist, as if he was going to shoot!

So, the Brazilian didn't hesitate and hurriedly jumped, hoping to return Link a block!

However, when Split was in the air, he realized that Link didn't even make a shooting move at all, it was just a feint!

Link easily passed the leaping Brazilian, and Split tried to chase back immediately after landing on the ground, but he slipped and fell to the ground due to excessive force.

Split, who was originally 2.11 meters, could only look up and watch Link smash the ball into the frame with both hands.

Aren't you trying to force me to go single? That's the result!

One offense and one defense, Link told the Spurs with his enthusiasm, "I'm not afraid of spending time with you, even if I have to squeeze out the last bit of physical strength, I will do my best to fight!" ”

After the goal, Link spread his hands and enjoyed the cheers that belonged only to the Tennessee Kings. Then, as he passed by the Spurs bench, Link turned around and yelled at Popovich.

"You'll regret it, Pop, I promise! You're giving me a chance to get a high score, look! ”

Continued by George. After Carl, the authority of another Thousand Miles Sect Leader was challenged by Link.

"Crazy, this guy is crazy!" In the face of Link's provocation, Popovich shook his head vigorously.

He is playing like this now, because he doesn't want to play the second half.

But in reality, Popovich still had some fear in his heart. He didn't know if he had opened a path to victory or a Pandora's box today.

As a result, we can only wait for time to verify.
