When it came to the battle for match point, the four semifinals maintained an astonishing pace, but the fifth game between the Knicks and the Pacers did not follow the script.

It's another defensive battle, this time it's the Knicks who win, Anthony is still that Anthony, a lot of shots, but this time his shooting percentage has improved.

Anthony's style of play is a double-edged sword, but this time he kills the enemy.

Combined with the team's defense, which he contributed to, the Pacers were suppressed to just 75 points and consecutive turnovers, and the team's 12 steals proved the suppression of the Pacers.

In the sixth battle between the two sides, Anthony scored 39 points, but he was still powerless.

Roy Hibbert chipped another double-double, 21+12 plus 5 blocks to dominate the interior.

Paul George is still the same Paul George, and the Pacers' guard Lance Stephenson also broke out to score 25+10, so the Knicks are so tragic.

At this point, all four teams in the Eastern and Western Conference Finals appeared, and the day after the Pacers eliminated the Knicks, the Western Conference Finals started first.

The Spurs and Grizzlies also have grievances, although they will definitely have a lot of collisions in the West and the same area, but they were engraved on the pillar of shame by Black Eight two years ago, and the feud between the two sides is still quite big.

The two teams didn't meet in the playoffs last year, and the old and new hatreds will end together this time.

The Grizzlies are in the Western Conference Finals for the first time in their history, but they won't rest on their laurels' laurels.

They were full of confidence, with Mike Conley saying, "We're just thinking about moving forward and we're happy to be here, but we have higher goals and we can play against stronger teams." ”

The Spurs didn't say anything harsh, but even the bigwigs were gearing up.

Both teams have shown that they like to settle down, but the focus is different.

After taking the initiative to send away the former core Rudy Gay, the Grizzlies are the main black and white bears, with Mike Conley dominating the ball and being able to enter the Western Conference finals.

Defense plus fewer mistakes, that's the magic weapon, of course, the premise is the play of the three interior cores.

The highlights of the West Finals include Duncan fighting the Bears, is this also an old play, and the comparison between Parker and Conley, who is the most suitable guard for the playoffs, the first point guard Paul is sinking into the sand, and he also has two interior lines, the Grizzlies can win, which is very telling, Paul does not have absolute suppression, as for Parker, he is very stable.

And without Rudy Gay, the Grizzlies only have defensive titan Tony Allen at the No. 2 and No. 3 positions, and there is no excitement on the Spurs' side, Ginobili, Leonard, Zhang Xiaotian, and the Spurs can play more cards.

There were no changes to the starting lineups on either side, and the Grizzlies also won the ball, with Gasol Jr. scoring first.

But the script changed here, first Leonard hit a three-pointer, then Parker made a steal and layup, then Duncan grabbed a frontcourt rebound and assisted from the outside, then Duncan hated Randolph, Parker scored, Duncan scored, and Danny Green opened up for a three-pointer.

The Grizzlies were knocked out all of a sudden, the Spurs have always been leisurely, and no one expected that they would be so ruthless as soon as they came up this time, leading to 10 points in four minutes, forcing the Grizzlies to replace the pitcher.

The Spurs also made adjustments after taking the lead, Duncan's rest time should be guaranteed, and then it was to take turns to shoot outside shooters, and the inside line was used to shoot like Matt Bonner.

Gary Neal also got his chance to expand the shooting area.

Popovich sarcastically faced, who plays hand-to-hand combat with you, Lao Tzu will kill you.

The Grizzlies also did not anticipate Popovich's yin line, and suddenly fell into a painful state, the Spurs accelerated, and the black and white bears were half gone.

When playing with the Warriors, the Spurs slowed down, but they couldn't speed up, and now the Spurs are very balanced in offense and defense, and their scoring ability is also explosive.

Under this tactic, Zhang Xiaotian was also a victim, his ability to catch and shoot was not strong enough, and he was disgusted by Popovich and shortened his playing time.

It is estimated that Popovich is still a little proud, so that you have no desire to attack in front of you, and there is someone in the hands of this coach.

This is also the way to do this after taking the lead, with the Spurs taking the lead and Lionel Hollins being a little less resilient.

Of course, there is no one in his hands, except for a few ruthless characters, the others are all old and weak.

They're playing more as a team, but no one is stepping up at this time, and a lot of things are double-edged swords.

The Spurs led by 17 points in the first quarter, and it wasn't until the second quarter that the Grizzlies reacted, with Mike Conley and Gasol Jr. forcing a re-energizing of the team.

As for Randolph, he was replaced by Duncan, don't think that Duncan doesn't talk much and thinks he has a good temper, remembering what happened two years ago, Duncan played extremely actively, and Randolph didn't even have a chance to make a move.

Duncan, who doesn't care about physical strength, is terrible, but the team establishes the advantage, and Duncan knows that Popovich will give him plenty of rest.

The Spurs led by 14 points at halftime, squeezing the Grizzlies' scoring to just 37.

The Spurs are both offensive and defensive, and the Grizzlies are still a little worse, but the first wave of offensive Grizzlies barely came down, although 14 points is a bit too much for the Grizzlies who lack scoring explosiveness, but there is still hope for it.

Everyone played normally in the third quarter, and even the Grizzlies bench stepped up with outside firepower, and Quincy Bombset hit three three-pointers, which gave them hope.

But they were desperate at the start of the fourth quarter, and Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard combined for 20 points in the first half of the quarter and made five steals.

This was the second wave of Spurs' power, and the Grizzlies suddenly found that they had fallen behind by more than 20 points and had to switch to the bench to admit defeat.

Next, the two teams of brothers were good, and they all made 13 players shine on the stage of the Western Finals.

The Spurs scored 12 players, and the only one who didn't, yes, was McGrady.

This should be a magic barrier, with the strength of his former All-Star, it should be no problem to score a point in garbage time, but he just doesn't dare to shoot, and he can't shoot in the vacant position, it's not a psychological problem.

105:83, this big battle expected by the outside world, yes, did not give the other party any chance from the beginning, which makes people wonder if this is the highest decisive stage in the west.

On the other hand, Mars hit the earth, and the fight was fierce and beautiful.

Paul George vs. Anthony and then challenged James, just like fighting the boss in one level of the game.

As a rising star of the all-round striker, meeting the first person in the all-round forward must be much more tragic than fighting Anthony.

The two sides battled until overtime, first Paul George hit a three-pointer with 0.7 seconds in the fourth quarter to drag the score into overtime, and then James hit a 0-second overtime stunner to beat the challenging Pacers by 1 point.

And James's triple-double of 30+10+10 also told Paul George who is the predecessor and who is the king.

Compared with the bloody matchup between the old and new forwards, the Spurs and Grizzlies can only be said to have silently started the second game.
