Memphis' home stadium became overcrowded due to the arrival of the Spurs.

It's not just about the Spurs' flashy offense, but because Marc Gasol's highlights in recent games have made fans expect more from the White Bears, shooting 70% from the field and scoring more than 20 points in the first five games, which is simply terrifying among centers.

And the Spurs are the tired division, and the Grizzlies with a luxurious roster are bound to regain their first meeting.

“gogogo！！” The Spurs are sure to win, Ginobili is angry when he thinks of the Grizzlies, cheers the starters in the locker room, and whenever he encounters the Grizzlies, he has to give them some color!

Popovich was surprised to come to the locker room to explain the tactics.

"Recently, the Grizzlies' offensive system with Gasol Jr. as the axis has been getting better and better, and I'm going to analyze their Princeton offensive system for you now."

"The Princeton offensive system is very traditional, and like the triangle offense, it is a product of the previous era, and in many places it is different from the current popular dynamic offensive system, and the Grizzlies use a lot of the Princeton offensive system in the offense, which is a representative of one of the few old forces in the league. Princeton is more focused on the control of the tempo, increasing the passing of the ball, the requirements for the players are high, through continuous movement and passing the ball to create opportunities for air cuts and open shots, FlareScreen and off-ball screens are also frequently used in the system, due to the high degree of tactical freedom, it is difficult for defenders to judge the offensive line through a fixed pattern.

In addition, the Grizzlies will also use some Horns, Flex, as well as high post blocking and hand-to-hand passing, to enrich the existing offensive system, and some combinations will also rely on the shadow of the rare triangle offense. ”

"It's a passing team like us." Ginobili incarnated as an assistant coach and said.

"Well, pretty much, but be wary of it, they also play run-and-shoot tactics, and the Grizzlies' air cut runs are all combination punches, and after one unsuccessful time, there is a second and a third time. After this attack failed to cut the back door of the baseline player, the high SF quickly cut straight to the basket and used the middle gap formed by the baseline player to score just now. Bobo found it inconvenient to speak, so he picked up his notebook and pointed to draw.

Jiang Haoran listened energetically, this is the first time that Coach Popovich has analyzed the opponent's team's offensive system in detail before the game, and Bobo usually formulates tactics when there is a problem in the game, but this is enough to prove that the Grizzlies' system has also been formed.

"It's kind of like the playoffs." West was stunned for a moment, before the playoffs, the head coach usually studies the opponent thoroughly, because there are more than four fierce battles, and the regular season is too short to prepare.

To the surprise of newcomers, Popovich not only analyzed the offensive and tactical characteristics of the Grizzlies, but also taught them how to solve them.

"Our defensive strategy is to press the ball and then switch to force the opponent to pass, which is enough to beat a lot of teams in the league, but it is also physically demanding. Against the Grizzlies, we have to win tactically and save energy, so I'm going to talk about how to make it as easy as possible to defend. "Becky Hamon, who is mainly offensive and defensive, replaces Popovich in defense.

"I see." Jiang Haoran looked at GDP and listened carefully to know why Popovich didn't feed the chicken soup for the soul today, if the Spurs were in their heyday, of course, they would not be afraid of this opponent, but when the players were tired, Bobo was ready to use tactics to win, in order to save a lot of energy and win the game at the minimum cost.

And GDP as a guide on the field, we must listen to the strategic deployment of analysts clearly.

"Gasol Jr. is the pivot of the entire Princeton offensive system, and he stands a little higher than the average power forward or center, which means that the average center will not go up."

"That gives him a lot of room to make a comfortable shot or use his whole body to block a pick-and-roll for Conley or Jeff Green."

"Shall we just let Duncan bring it up?" Aldridge is already simulating the next match.

"That's the power of Princeton's offensive system, they have a hand-to-hand pass that has been running in for a long time, we can't prevent it even if it's fast, and if Duncan rushes to it again, the inside gate will open, and the little one will easily make a layup with speed." Becky Harmon quickly answered Ade's question.

Ade was stunned, as if it was indeed like that, with Conley's speed, it would definitely not work for the inside player to pull it out.

"So what we want is to hold him by the throat, which is about a foot outside the free-throw line that Gasol likes to stand, to make him uncomfortable and make him unable to get his rhythm." Becky Harmon drew a big red dot over there.

"How?" Jiang Haoran was also puzzled, his mind couldn't turn around, Princeton's offensive system has been used from the last century to the present, there must be its wonders, at least it is impossible to completely break it.

"In this game, Jiang Haoran started the game, defending Mike Conley, Jiang's speed is not slower than Conley, what he has to do is to help defend Gasol, defend Conley from the left side, and then constantly harass Gasol."

"Gasol Jr. knows that you have a good steal, and you definitely don't dare to pass around, which disrupts their rhythm." Becky Harmon simply finished the defensive strategy of the game in a few words.

"It's so close, I can't defend myself." Jiang Haoran asked.

Popovich watched Jiang Haoran quietly from the side, and sure enough, he also had the mind of a point guard.

"Well, but if you want to hold the Grizzlies' throat, you have to give up a part, this part is the Grizzlies' outside shooting, statistics, half of the Grizzlies' scores come from the inside, one-third from breakouts, and the rest from three-pointers, Conley's three-point shooting rate is only 34%, which is worse than our team's Green."

"Damn...... I've been on 40% lately, okay? "Danny Green was shot inexplicably, and that's a depressing.

"So, let go of Conley's three?" Jiang Haoran recalled the first game with the Grizzlies, and what impressed him the most was Conley's passing and layup, and the three-point score was really not strong.

"Well, here.we.go. (Let's get started)" At this time, the home staff notified the Spurs to go to the players' tunnel, and Popovich directly ended this pre-game tactical analysis.

The game officially began, and Jiang Haoran started the battle! The Spurs players who were brainwashed by pre-game tactics were full of confidence.

At the end of the first quarter, the Cubs fans were stunned, and the Spurs, with their unified tactical style, stubbornly contained the Grizzlies' offensive system in the first quarter, and defended the Grizzlies to only 12 points when their own offensive end was not hot!!
