Not only did Jaren Jackson Jr. not expect it, but even Smart didn't expect that Wembanyama could actually cover Smart's shot in this way after bypassing the cover set up by Jaren Jackson Jr. for Smart.
The Grizzlies serve the sideline ball and reorganize the offense. Jaren
Jackson Jr. took the initiative to mention the upline and made a pick-and-roll for Rose.
Rose understood it, bypassed Jaren Jackson Jr.'s cover, and accelerated directly to the Spurs' basket.
Chang Tiancheng was firmly blocked by Jaren Jackson Jr. and had to make a change of guard with Wembanyama.
Wembanyama had just completed a block and was feeling confident at this point.
I saw Wembanyama catch up with Ross in a few big strides, and at the moment when Ross jumped, Wembanyama jumped with Ross at the same time, and stretched out his long arm, ready to give Ross a cover as well.
But at this time, Rose folded his body into an extremely strange shape in mid-air, and forcibly dodged Wembanyama's cover.
Wembanyama's outstretched hand misses the rebound.
It was only then that Rose took the basketball out of his hands and made a pull-up layup.
2:2, although the Grizzlies were taken advantage of by the Spurs as soon as they came up, but under the leadership of Rose, at least in terms of scores, they did not lag behind.
Chang Tiancheng dribbled the ball past half court, and in the face of Smart's defense, he first chose to hold the ball with his back, and then suddenly turned around and tried to get rid of Smart's defense with speed.
But Smart is the best defensive player in the past after all, and his defensive ability is even one level stronger than Holiday who just gave Chang Tiancheng a headache some time ago, so it is naturally impossible for Chang Tiancheng to get rid of it so easily.
Seeing that his attempt to get rid of it was fruitless, Chang Tiancheng simply pulled the ball back outside the three-point line, and then reorganized the offense.
This time, he first called Sochan, who was being defended by Rose, to block him.
Although the Grizzlies have thought about accepting Sochan to try to hold the ball and single-handedly challenge Rose, if Sochan blocks Chang Tiancheng and then receives Chang Tiancheng's pass in the process of going down and then impacts the inside, I'm afraid Rose will have no way to prevent it.
Therefore, when Smart saw Chang Tiancheng calling Suohan in his eyes, he motioned to Rose with his eyes to change his guard in a while.
When Chang Tiancheng bypassed Sochan's cover and was about to break through, the Grizzlies switched defenses, with Smart defending Sochan and Rose defending Chang.
As we all know, even at his peak, Rose is not good at defense, after frequent knee injuries, his lateral ability on the defensive end has declined significantly, and now Chang Tiancheng is like this by speed straight line breakthrough, Rose really has nothing to do with him.
Fortunately, the Grizzlies also have another DPOY-level player on the inside, and Jaren Jackson Jr. saw that Chang Tiancheng broke through the defense of the screw and was killing the inside, so he stepped forward and was ready to make up for Chang Tiancheng at any time.
However, the moment Chang Tiancheng noticed that Jaren Jackson Jr. was looking at him, the basketball passed directly through his hand and was delivered to Wembanyama.
Wembanyama didn't dare to hesitate too much, and immediately made a two-handed slam after receiving the ball.
Jaren Jackson Jr. suddenly felt a little annoyed, he only cared about Chang Tiancheng in front of him, but ignored that there was a perverted endpoint behind him.
In this round, they were first attracted by Sochan, because Chang Tiancheng called Sohan to block and dismantle at the beginning, which led to these players on the Grizzlies all thinking that the Spurs' offense would be a two-person turn between Chang Tiancheng and Sochan, who would have thought that Chang Tiancheng's goal from the beginning was to let Wembanyama complete the finish.
Grizzlies offense.
Rose advanced with the ball, and after halftime, he gave the ball to Smart first, and he used the advantage of just completing an attack to attract Chang Tiancheng to the other side of the court, and incidentally attracted the overall defensive attention of the Spurs to his side.
The goal is to use his offensive influence to create better attacking space for several teammates.
After Smart received the ball, he first broke through to the inside line against Keldon, then turned around, stuck Kelden's body with his ass, and handed the ball to Bane, who ran from the baseline to him.
After Bane received the ball, he first made a shooting feint, but did not shake up the chasing Sochan, so Bane paused outside the three-point line first, and after seeing Smart coming over and making a block for himself, he tried to break through the Spurs' interior from Smart's right side.
Wembanyama was already one step behind the free throw line, waiting for Bane to make a layup.
With Wembanyama's physical talent, when he stands in this position, he can actually take care of both interior and exterior defense, and if Bane chooses to go to the basket himself, then he will most likely receive a hot pot from Wembanyama. And if he chooses to pass to Jaren Jackson Jr., then Wembanyama also has plenty of time and space to turn around and defend.
But Bane stepped one step outside the free-throw line and suddenly stopped.
It turned out that Rose, who had been standing on the other side of the court, had already played a cover with Adams at this time and reached the top of the three-point arc.
And Chang Tiancheng, who was originally responsible for defending him, was stuck by Adams' body and was unable to chase after him.
Bane didn't even look back, but after seeing the cover of Rose and Adams with his peripheral vision, he directly stopped his breakthrough and turned around to give the ball to the empty Rose.
After receiving the ball, Rose even had time to aim at the basket and adjust his stance before throwing the ball.
After so much preparation, this ball was naturally hit steadily.
Popovich, who was on the sidelines, frowned when he saw this, he got up from his seat and kept pacing in front of the bench.
In his opinion, maybe the Grizzlies have a worse record than them now, but when it comes to teamwork, the Grizzlies may be a little stronger.
It can be seen from these few rounds that every time the Grizzlies attack, the frequency of passing the ball is actually very high, and the ball will pass through the hands of almost every Grizzlies player.
If you really let these players of the Grizzlies run in and run-in, maybe they will really become the biggest threat to the Spurs in the playoffs.
Back on the court, Chang Tiancheng had already come to the front court of the Grizzlies with the ball and began to think about the offensive method of this round.
