After solving the Thunder in five games, McMillan generously gave the players a day off, and Ye Feng also took this opportunity to have a good rest. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info It can be quite a luxury to have such a day of rest in the midst of a tight schedule and a lot of intensity in the playoffs.

On this day, the Spurs defeated the Grizzlies very hard in the battle of Tianwang Mountain and took the lead in getting the match point. However, to the great worry of Spurs fans, at the end of the third quarter, Parker, the team's main control, sprained his foot after a breakthrough layup, and was helped off the court by his teammates after a short treatment.

Of course, Ginobili can also be the team's point of possession on the court, but the difference between him and Parker is still very big, fortunately, Duncan single-handedly suppressed the "black and white bear" of Gasol Jr. and Randolph in the final quarter, otherwise the Spurs may not be able to win this game.

Parker's injury has undoubtedly touched the hearts of many, including the Trail Blazers players. While Parker's injury was the best outcome for them, they didn't bother to win in such a situation, and it was a matter of luck to get a few more days off than their opponents, but it was only luck to beat a scrupled opponent. Of course, luck is always indispensable on the road of every team that wins the championship, but for them, it is an insult to rely on luck to win the championship.

Although the Spurs official quickly said that Parker will miss the sixth game, they did not further expose Parker's injury, it is obvious that Parker's injury is not very serious, but it is not light, and the sixth game must be missed to go to the local hospital for treatment, in order to be able to recover as soon as possible.

It is worth mentioning that Mills, who won the championship with the Trail Blazers last season, signed a contract with the Spurs after returning to the NBA, wearing the silver and black jersey and playing alongside GDP. And it looks like he's a big hit with Popovich, who has started three games in the regular season and averaged 16.3 minutes per game, scoring his first double-double, and is an important addition to the Spurs' No. 1 position, and it's almost certain that he will start Game 6 in place of Parker.

For Mills to join the Spurs, the Trail Blazers players did not have any special feelings, and Ye Feng also sent a text message to congratulate him on returning to the NBA. After all, in such a business league, there is a lot of mobility for players, not to mention just experiencing a shutdown, and how Mills chooses is his own business. And he has also contacted the Trail Blazers management, but the Trail Blazers' roster is full, and the rotation lineup has been run-in, so he did not continue to recruit him.

But Popovich's lineup is always eclectic, or random and unmistakable, and no one knows what kind of starters he will send after a change. For example, after Parker's injury this time, his starting backcourt was Ginobili + Danny Green.

There is no doubt that the pair of starters at the back came as a surprise to many. Generally speaking, teams play with two point guards, but basically no head coach has ever played two point guards. But if you think about it, this is also the strongest backcourt that the Spurs can put out at the moment, Ginobili is called a shooting guard, his passing is still very coquettish, and he is also very good at passing some whimsical balls, so it seems that it is not surprising for him to replace Parker in the No. 1 position.

However, the performance of the Spurs in Game 6 was still affected, except for Duncan and Leonard, the two poker faces, all the other Spurs players showed more or less anxious and dazed expressions, and naturally there was no state to speak of.

This time it was the Grizzlies' outside who contributed, with Oden's good friend Conley scoring 24 points and seven assists in the game, while Gay, the Grizzlies' leading scorer, recorded 32 points and six rebounds. Leonard has been working defense, but in this game Guy undoubtedly broke out under pressure, how to shoot, how to shoot, the shooting rate is amazingly high, it seems that even Leonard is helpless against him, who doesn't eat dumplings during the New Year?

Conley and Guy teamed up to help the Grizzlies win the game and drag the series into a tiebreaker. That's bad news for the Spurs, who were originally going to finish the series in six games, after all, for the age of most of their players, it's really not friendly to play a tie-break.

But there is no way around it, and the thought that even if he wins the tiebreaker, he will only have to rest for a day or two, Popovich feels very unhappy, and he didn't expect the Grizzlies to be so difficult before. Now that the Spurs' main force has been greatly depleted, and there is no time to replenish it, this is not good news.

However, after the diagnosis, Parker has confirmed that he can play in the seventh game, which gives Popovich a little more confidence. Although it was a big game, he intends to continue to use a wide range of rotations to ensure a win while saving his players a little energy.

Out of protection for Parker, Popovich didn't start him either, instead continuing to use the starting lineup for Game 6. Parker has no problem with that, and while he's eager to play as a starter, it's good to reduce the risk of injury.

Despite this, GDP did not hold back in this game, except for Parker who "only" played 28 minutes, Duncan and Ginobili both played more than 35 minutes, and starting small forward Leonard even played more than 40 minutes. Originally, Popovich was unwilling, after all, it was not difficult for them to win the game with all their might, but it would be a headache to deal with the Western Conference Finals.

But the players convinced him, and they did play at a very high level, with GDP combined to score 62 points, Leonard added 15 points, and most importantly, they kept the defensive intensity while keeping the Grizzlies scoring at 87 points, and the Spurs themselves scored 112 points, which was also the second time they scored more than 100 points in the entire series, and the first time they scored more than 110 points, which is not easy to score under the Grizzlies' defense.

But Popovich, who won the game, still frowned, and now there is basically no rest time left for the Spurs, and they will face the Trail Blazers on the third day after the game, and the only news that is okay is that they have home-court advantage and do not have to fly to Portland to play. But so what? The Trail Blazers have been given plenty of time to recuperate, and the Spurs are now completely tired and no longer favored by the major betting sites.

Ye Feng is very calm about this situation, the Spurs played seven games to advance, it is a matter of their strength, so there is no need to be so worried......
