In the second half of the Spurs and Grizzlies, everyone came at the most normal pace.

The Spurs started with Parker and Duncan, and the Grizzlies played inside.

But unlike the previous game, Duncan rested for a few days and was full of energy, and it was not difficult to fight against Randolph, and naturally there was no threat of too many fouls.

The Twin Towers are often attacked by Randolph single-handedly, and he is somewhat limited by Duncan in this regard, and the Grizzlies' interior attack will definitely be problematic.

So they really want to break the game with the help of the outside, and with the help of the outside, they will have to make substitutions, and the defense of the outside line will be weakened, which is the trouble of the Grizzlies.

Moreover, even substitutions do not necessarily solve the problem, and the Grizzlies' outside feel depends on luck.

Fortunately, the Double-Bears offense had some trouble, defense and rebounding were still good, and it was also thanks to a few frontcourt rebounds that the Grizzlies got a chance to score points on the outside.

The two sides went back and forth, and finally after Ginobili and Zhang Xiaotian came on the court, the score was fixed at 64:65 at the end of the third quarter, a one-point gap, and the final quarter was good to divide life and death.

The two teams played extremely cautiously, and the Grizzlies reached this point, with Conley, Randolph and Gasol Jr. barely playing, and only seven players in the normal rotation.

The Spurs were slightly better, and several times they were in the shooter group, but they were all short-term attempts, Duncan and Parker were guaranteed to lead the team at least one person, and before the final quarter, the only substitute who played more time was Ginobili, and the other was Matt Bonner and Dior both stepped forward to top the inside for a while.

It can be seen from this that the two teams attach great importance to this game, and there is no room for error, this is the attitude.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Ginobili broke through the ball, Zhang Xiaotian hit a three-point shot, and the Spurs overtook the score.

After taking the lead, the Spurs still chose to shrink in defense and did not give the two bears room to play alone.

This Conley stepped up, Conley's usual performance as a guard is a qualified starter, but when it comes to critical moments, he can often burst out at an All-Star level, and he is the hero of the Grizzlies' promotion.

Seeing that there was no chance on the inside, he received a return pass and made a decisive shot, and the mid-range shot also caused Parker to foul.

2+1, and the score became Grizzly Bear lead again.

But then Duncan hit another two more points and the shot was unambiguous.

On the Grizzlies side, there are still only opportunities to shoot from the outside, and the Spurs would rather give them shots than allow them to make kills on the inside.

It's just that even if the Grizzlies don't play with the ball inside, they are a big threat, and that is rebounding.

Jerry Bayless missed, Randolph grabbed the rebound and was about to score easily, Ginobili rushed up and committed a direct foul, and the Argentine has a very experienced experience in this regard.

It doesn't matter how many outside fouls there are, it's better not to get in trouble on Duncan's side.

Two free throws and one hit, the Spurs earned, and the Grizzlies' two interior free throws were actually not bad, but the fierce confrontation in the playoffs was targeted by the Spurs in turn, and they were also affected.

Back to the Spurs' attack on Ginobili is a three-pointer, killing people.

The Spurs' two offensive players, Parker and Ginobili, are both offensive types that hover between reasonable and unreasonable, and most of the time they play as a team, but the chill will come and be unbearable.

When Zhang Xiaotian holds the ball, most of them are to end the attack, and the sudden ball is usually distributed near the penalty area, and there is still a difference between organizational ability and the big guy.

At this time, the Grizzlies stepped up again and hit a three-point shot to ensure that the score did not pull away.

It's bad news and good news for the Spurs, Conley isn't the kind of Curry who can be limited, and the reason Conley can only shoot himself is that the Grizzlies' two shooters are off the bench for Jerry Bayless and Quincy Bombset.

When Zhang Xiaotian hit another two-pointer single, the Grizzlies had no choice but to make a change and put Tony Allen on the court.

Tony Allen has a strong defense and a very average offense, and after adjustment, the Grizzlies can only play hard with Conley or the Twin Bears.

When the players are on the field, sometimes they can't fully look at the data, and as soon as Zhang Xiaotian plays, it is actually when the scales of victory between the two sides are unbalanced.

The Spurs also made changes, with Ginobili and Duncan resting and Leonard and Split on.

With this lineup, Zhang Xiaotian's chances of holding the ball have increased.

Now Popovich doesn't care whether Zhang Xiaotian is a single or what, he can only be able to make a difference on offense, and the old man won't care.

The Grizzlies played iron for both rounds after the adjustment, but Randolph grabbed a rebound in the front court and scored two points, and Gasol Jr. forced a foul.

Duncan is not on the court, and the Spurs will not be able to shrink even if they are contracted, after all, the two bears are not the kind of rough brothers, they both have a shot.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaotian and Parker blocked and dismantled one, but the source of the Spurs' current trouble is still the inside, so Duncan's butt has not yet been hot on the bench and has come up again.

When he can rest, Popovich will try to let the old stone Buddha rest, this is also so that he can have the physical strength to stay on the court when he needs to play, and now is the time to fight hard.

After Duncan came on the court, he showed why he was a historic striker, and Randolph thought it was Matt Bonner, and immediately took a big hat.

Next, the Spurs counterattacked Parker and hit the shot directly, and the form was immediately different.

The Grizzlies saw that Duncan was not so easy to play on the inside after coming up, and tried to attack on the outside again, but this time they were capped by Leonard, and shooting in front of Leonard obviously can't be taken lightly.

After going out of bounds, the Grizzlies attacked and shot again, but there was a problem with the rebound, and Gasol Jr. got the frontcourt rebound and scored points.

Popovich yelled on the court again, he was reminding Duncan to protect the rebound, Duncan touched his head and looked calm, as if he didn't hear it at all.

With four minutes left in the game, the Grizzlies switched to the final lineup, with the three who couldn't beat the thunder, plus Tony Allen and the highest-shooting backup shooter in the game.

Popovich hesitated for a moment and took down Leonard, partnering Ginobili with Zhang Xiaotian.

At the critical moment of victory and defeat, Popovich was extremely sensible, no matter who could sit on the bench, Leonard did not feel good today, so it could only be a tragedy.

On the Grizzlies' side, Mike Conley singled Parker to a hit.

There is no mercy at critical moments, so some fans joke that in the playoffs, Parker and Conley are eligible to compete for the strongest point guard.

Parker wanted to save face, but after Conley pulled up his shot, it was Tony Allen's hat that was assisted.

The Grizzlies hit a counter-attack, and at 2:22, the two sides were tied again.

The Spurs took a timeout and brought on Matt Bonner to open up the offensive space.

After the pause, Zhang Xiaotian received the ball, he did not pass it, but made a posture to hold the ball and play.

He's Tony Allen in front of him, the All-Defensive Team for a while, and he has to hit.

Popovich will forgive players who can score, but he will not condone the guy who plays iron after stopping the ball.
