Popovich loves and hates Zhang Xiaotian, always surprises him, but makes him unable to rest assured.

When he was replaced, he was still thinking, anyway, there is Ginobili, and Zhang Xiaotian will let this favorite general go if he can't do it.

The Grizzlies, in order to chase points, are now Quincy Bombset at the No. 3 spot, and their current lineup is both off the bench, also because neither Tony Allen nor Tyshawn Prince are catch-and-shoot types.

Zhang Xiaotian faced Jerry Bayless, Zhang Xiaotian fought with the opponent in defense, did not give him a chance to vacate the position, but used blocking and dismantling tactics in the offense.

Changing the defense is to play small and big, and Zhang Xiaotian's ball-holding skills are no problem at all.

Of course, the striker plays the guard, and Zhang Xiaotian can also beat the opponent with his strength, but if he can transfer the double bear out and consume it, why not do it.

In terms of rebounding protection, the Spurs also rely on tactics, and if they can't win, they won't grab it, and they will block people specially, and Leonard and Zhang Xiaotian will protect the backcourt rebounds.

Duncan is not on the court, and the ability of the ball-handler in this style of play is even more important, such as Parker and Ginobili, and now Zhang Xiaotian should be added.

Parker's game was very well organized, and his assists have reached a playoff high, but the corresponding problem is that his hand is not very good, which is also a rare situation for an offensive guard like Parker.

So the grizzly bears would have had a chance, if it weren't for Zhang Xiaotian.

Although Zhang Xiaotian can't hit every shot, when the team is ahead, the two can hit one, which makes the Grizzlies very uncomfortable.

The Grizzlies had to focus on Zhang Xiaotian, and after blocking and dismantling, they did not change their defenses and directly attacked him.

Zhang Xiaotian passed the Grizzlies and rotated, in fact, the Spurs definitely had offensive opportunities, but unfortunately Matt Bonner missed both shots.

Parker's shot was also iron, seeing that the Grizzlies chased the score to 5 points, Zhang Xiaotian didn't want to block it directly, since Jerry Bayless couldn't carry him, just hit it directly.

After he hit a 2-pointer from Jerry Bayless, Grizzlies head coach Lionel Hollins went crazy.

There will definitely not be such a situation on Tony Allen, but now the team is going to chase points, Jerry Bayless has a good hand in this game, and the Spurs can shrink the defense more unscrupulously if they are replaced.

The Grizzlies hesitated, and Zhang Xiaotian interfered with Jerry Bayless's shooting and forced the opponent to cause a foul.

The score gap changed from 5 points to 9 points, and seeing that the time entered the last three minutes, in order to limit Zhang Xiaotian, the Grizzlies had to replace Tony Allen.

The Spurs also took the opportunity to replace Duncan, and everyone made a last stand.

Duncan came up but didn't defend Randolph, with Matt Bonner and Split each blocking shots.

Because Duncan is on top, the Grizzlies' defense will be pinned.

After Tony Allen came up, Zhang Xiaotian did have some trouble, the Spurs didn't score in two rounds, but neither did the other party, and the form became more and more unfavorable to the Grizzlies.

Randolph continued to play alone, but the Spurs were not afraid, Matt Bonner quickly received three fouls and went off, but Randolph made one of two free throws on both free throws, and the Spurs earned.

As the clock ticked into the final minute, the Grizzlies switched on all shooters again, but apparently they weren't that kind of team, and the Spurs eventually won their second home court 90-85.

The Grizzlies won the rebound, but it didn't work.

In the game, the coaches of both sides made their own strange moves, Popovich won the duel, but the other party was not convinced, if it weren't for the Spurs, the home advantage would be more, hum.

The Grizzlies have definitely not lost confidence, they are not playing once or twice, they are not playing once or twice, their team is characterized by tenacity, that is, weariness.

If the Spurs can't secure their home stadium, the outcome of the Western Conference is still unknown.

However, the game between their two teams was scoreless for a few minutes, and some fans were very disgusted.

It's like the Eastern Pacers and Heat killed the earth-shattering, alternately leading, and didn't separate life or death until the last minute.

As the defending champions, the Heat sit on the Big Three, but their lineup is also flawed, that is, a strong interior line, and Bosh still can't sit on the defensive end like Garnett and Duncan.

So Roy Hibbert, who had only eaten dumplings occasionally, broke out in the East finals, and was invincible on the inside, leading in rebounding and scoring.

This situation is similar to Zhang Xiaotian's use of cards.

And Paul George is still steadily cutting 20+, without James's strength, but he is not afraid.

Therefore, James played almost the whole game, and he couldn't keep this home court after cutting 36+8, especially at the last moment, but there were two mistakes, which made the Heat lose 93:97.

The game was exciting, the crowd was happy, and the Spurs were happy, but only if they could get the Grizzlies down.

There was a few days of rest before the away game, but Zhang Xiaotian still kept himself in a relatively tight state and maintained his competitive condition.

One step closer to the championship, there can be no carelessness.

Not only because of the task of the system, but also because of his own obsession with the championship.

Yang Feiyu also bothered him for a few days and did ...... for him Bought nutritious snacks.

With only two losses, the Grizzlies are still dead ducks, and the players also talked about their confidence in an interview with reporters, and they think the team will get better and better.

In fact, it is very simple to break the Spurs' game, don't let the Spurs throw that wave from the outside.

If they can't quickly establish a lead, the Grizzlies are really not scared.

In the third game of the Western Conference finals, FedEx Arena, the Grizzlies finally got off to a different start at home.

Offense, no, more aggressive defense.

Back at home, the Grizzlies don't have any scruples, their team's strong team is a twin-tower combination, but to drive the whole team, they need Mike Conley, a guard who can play hard.

Mike Conley made a steal from Parker in the opening game and contributed five steals in a single quarter.

Parker's ball wasn't that easy to break, but Mike Conley did.

If Ginobili hadn't come up and scored six straight points, the Spurs would have gone 20 points behind, and that's it, they trailed by 16 points in the first quarter.

Is the Spurs going to collapse like the Grizzlies did in Game 1, obviously not because they are the Spurs, and Popovich can still get a feel off the bench in the regular season, give up a few games, and they will only rise to the challenge in the playoffs.

No matter how good the Grizzlies are off to a good start, they can't change their lack of players and lack of offense.

After adjustments during the rotation, Parker quickly returned to normal, teaming up with Duncan to score 15 points and narrow the gap to four points.

The Spurs' scoring explosiveness will never be matched by the Grizzlies.

This is also the difference between Parker and Mike Conley, who is stable on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, but does not have the ability to concentrate on the offensive end of Parker.

In the first half, one team won a quarter, which was a battle of surprises and tactics.

But in the second half, the two teams that are more adapted to the rhythm must show their bayonets, and there can be no more surprise attacks.
