After all, when it comes to rotational rest, Vicky has the most say.

In an interview, Vicky said he understands league chairman Shaw and that as the team's manager, he also feels some pressure. But after that, he will still make that decision, and in Vic's opinion, it is more important for a player to play a few more years and be able to play more playoff games than one game.

However, when he said that he was disobedient, the old man had already taken measures in private.

In the next back-to-back games against the Kings, the Spurs did not rotate players, but a few starters only played about 20 minutes at most.

Of course, it is also the king Taicai, and the resistance is not fierce.

After the game, Parker, who was rested by the team, said, "I've got a bit of a strain, so I just have to wait a week for it to recover, it's not going to be a long-term injury." ”

He was very cooperative with Vic's previous statement, taking the initiative to say: "I told him I don't want to rest, I need to find a rhythm before I go into the playoffs because it's coming soon." ”

On March 21, the Spurs played the Timberwolves away.

The Timberwolves have given up playoff hopes at this time, but they have started well, especially off the bench.

It's just that with the Spurs' strength in the third quarter, there is not much suspense about the outcome of the game.

"We raised the intensity in the third quarter, like that's important." ** Vicky said very casually in an interview after the game.

Ginobili was serious about saying that the team continued to play with fire, saying: "It looks like sometimes we need to be pushed to the limit to play our best. ”

"We're getting closer to the playoffs and we're less than a month away, so we should be playing more consistently, a little bit more consistently."

In fact, it's not just the playoffs, only the regular season win record, but the Spurs players don't talk about it anymore.

On March 23, the Spurs played the Grizzlies at home.

In fact, the Spurs do not rule out meeting the Grizzlies in the playoffs, so they are much more serious this time.

To be precise, I was very serious last time, but this time ** Vicky promoted the training.

The Grizzlies are a big and four small starters, which allows them to fight for their ability on the offensive end a little, but slightly, they were overperforming last time and the Spurs didn't do their best defensively.

The Spurs were also a bit empiricist last time, but in fact, Randolph became a substitute, and after the opponent did not put on a two-bear lineup, they did not need to shrink the defense so much.

Limit their outside lines, and then let the bears slowly chisel inside.

But there is a premise, their outside line must be played, and they are suppressed more severely on the outside.

At the beginning of this game, Parker was also completely suppressed by Conley, a few years ago the situation was still the other way around, who would have thought that this would be the situation now.

However, the Spurs quickly changed their formation and stabilized the form by increasing the number of outside shooting points.

Their defensive focus has also shifted from the black and white bears to the isolation of Conley.

Conley could blow up the Spurs by himself if he had the ability, but apparently he wasn't that type.

Starting from the defense, and then using the stars to improve the attack, Zhang Xiaotian, Leonard and Aldridge combined to give the Spurs the advantage in the first half.

Fighting grizzlies should be like this, early to take the advantage, and then everyone slowly grinds it doesn't matter, I'm afraid that the other party will gain an advantage first, and then fall into hand-to-hand combat and can't extricate themselves.

The Grizzlies are in the resilient category, and in the second half, they rebounded better and played very teamly, with Conley and Gasol Jr. blossoming a little more.

But that's all, more blooms but not much.

Conley and Gasol Jr. are both very practical players, but they are not the type to score points when it matters most.

So in the fourth quarter, after Zhang Xiaotian improved his combat effectiveness, the Grizzlies couldn't keep up on the offensive end.

When Conley was forced to play alone in the final moments, the Spurs' victory was already unstoppable.

In their post-game interviews, the Spurs players didn't think the victory was due to their view of the Grizzlies as a first-round opponent in the playoffs.

Zhang Xiaotian said, "No matter who we play in the first round of the playoffs, we will try our best to win the opponent. ”

In fact, the seven or eight teams in the West will answer the same question, because the Spurs and Warriors are the opponents they are the last willing to meet.

Zhang Xiaotian's son is a month old, and he looks white and chubby, much more handsome than when he spoke out.

Now that he has gone back to do more work, that is, to tease his son.

However, the mother-in-law also came, and the son's turn was not much left.

Yang Feiyu recovered quickly, and seemed to be even more heartless than before, and she was really stupid for three years.

The rest of the games in March are not very intensive, and they are at home again, which is convenient for preparation.

On March 25, the Spurs faced the Knicks, who had no hope of making the playoffs last year, at home.

Anthony was out of the game, and the Spurs took an absolute advantage at halftime and won the game easily.

After the game, Vicky was asked about the record, and the old man deliberately said: "I don't want us to make any mistakes, I want the players to hit every shot, I want to prevent every attack, that's all." ”

Spurs will face a couple of tough opponents next, and the outside world will want to see them stop them from achieving better results.

But the visiting Cavaliers surrendered at half-time and posed no threat to the Spurs.

The outside world has sighed how the Spurs feel stronger than before.

There may be a taste that the knights don't want to play much, but Zhang Xiaotian also felt the excitement of the players.

Even if you don't advocate the pursuit of records, the team's results this season are so good, it does affect everyone's mentality.

After the game, Vicky also said: "The defense tonight was very good, everything was because of the defense, our shooting was okay, the defense was really good. The defense was a lot better than usual because there was more communication, one-on-one and we were able to face the challenge head-on, and the transition in the first half was very good, so we didn't give the Cavaliers a lot of easy scoring opportunities, which I think helped our offense. ”

James said in an interview: "It's true that we're not playing well now, but we're still confident that we shouldn't be frustrated now, the team needs to understand something and solve their problems, we won't be so confused in the next game, it's really bad!" ”

Cavaliers head coach Lue said: "I wanted to rest the main players before the game, but I gave up on that idea, the Spurs were really good on both ends of the floor, they were too fast. ”

Perhaps it was a game that went too well, and then the Spurs suffered their sixth defeat of the season.

It was the Warriors who beat them, and perhaps the Warriors didn't want the Spurs to break their record.

And the Spurs also understood the danger of the Warriors through this game, and their ability to explode points is too strong. Reading a book and finding the latest chapters by yourself? You're out, WeChat attention Beauty editor helps you find books! It's really a good book to flirt with girls!
