Reverse Growth Superstar

The Spurs used a decisive three-pointer to stabilize their momentum and officially opened their counterattack. Richard Jefferson was so happy that he has been questioned since he met Link in the playoffs last season. This month, he was even involved in trading rumors.

Jefferson was an important signing for the Spurs that year. He came to the Spurs and hoped that he could get a championship ring with the team.

As a result, the ring was not obtained, and instead he was infamy. These infamy not only come from fans and media in other places, but also include local fans and media in San Antonio.

Therefore, whenever he scores a beautiful goal, he is very, very excited. He has some meaning to compete with the home fans. You usually scold me so badly, but in the end he didn't want to cheer me!

"The Spurs' offense is too fast. They have changed a lot this season." Elston Turner hasn't slowed down. Just now, the Spurs' offense didn't even wait for Duncan to take the place.

This kind of subversiveness is as incredible as Yao Ming suddenly dangles from the three-point line and then breaks through dunks.

In the first two fights against the Spurs, the Spurs' offense has not been so smooth. This has only been more than a week, and the tacit understanding between the Spurs players has become better.

Popovich is worthy of a generation of tactical masters. Under his tune, the Spurs can follow the trend of the times and can also progress with almost no personnel changes.

Jefferson's goal seemed to have opened a gate. Since then, the Spurs' goals have been flooded and they can't be stopped.

After Jefferson, Duncan succeeded in low singles. Subsequently, Leonard also hit a three-pointer. Link thought that Leonard was unstable in this period, so he deliberately let go of two moves. Unexpectedly, one dared to let go and the other dared to enter.

After this, Popovich immediately began to rotate. He replaced Split with Bonner, and replaced Richard Jefferson with Gary Neal, who was second only to Link's draft pick last season. As a result, Bonner and Neal teamed up to score 3 points and the Grizzlies were completely beaten!

In the 8th minute of the game, when Gary Neal threw off Gay and hit a three-pointer, the Spurs had led the Grizzlies by 11 points! The Grizzlies fell behind by double digits before the end of the first quarter!

"What am I talking about? The Grizzlies should not be thinking about victory, but about how to not be beaten by the Spurs in the first quarter! The Spurs this season are very fierce, and the number of three-pointers per game is the highest in team history. 21.3 times, shooting close to 40%! If the Grizzlies are not stable on the defensive end, the score will soon be pulled away!" Steve Kerr touched his chin, three-pointer and off the ball, it seems more More and more conform to the players and rules of this era.

If he can become a head coach someday, I really hope to make these two things to the extreme and see what happens...

Although Hollins suspended the game in time, to no avail. After coming back from the pause, Guy, who was furious, went "crazy" again. He furiously played in the middle distance, hoping to tie the score for the team as soon as possible. But that very inefficient offense did not bring any benefit to the Grizzlies.

Instead, the Spurs seized the opportunity and scored another three-pointer. Danny Green felt hot after coming off the bench and helped the Spurs score their fifth three-pointer in the first quarter.

With Green and Ginobili, the Spurs' firepower has not been affected in any way even in the rotation time.

Link was embarrassed by Leonard. In the first quarter, he only scored 2 points on free throws and did not score in sports games! When a defensive player stares at you wholeheartedly, it's really hard to score.

Not to mention Link, even superstars like Kobe and Durant have suffered from Leonard. A few days ago, the Spurs played against the Thunder, and Durant was prevented from shooting only 35%.

After the end of the first quarter, the score was fixed at 26-18, with the San Antonio Spurs leading by 8 points into the second quarter. Of these 26 points, 15 points came from outside the three-point line!

The Spurs are in a good mood. Ginobili even joked with Duncan and put a paper cup on the bench before Duncan sat down.

Duncan flattened the cup without knowing it, and Ginobili smiled like a giant baby with still not full hair.

But Duncan, who was joked, did not respond. He has become accustomed to such jokes by Argentines.

The relaxed atmosphere of the Spurs dealt a major blow to the Grizzlies. Cooperating with the Spurs to play casually, we can't stand it?

Hollins didn't waste much time, now he can only rely on defense to contain the Spurs. So far in the game, Hollins has basically figured out the Spurs offensive routine. But it's useless to know the opponent's offensive level. Players have to execute tactics.

As a result, Hollins did not delay a minute during the break. He sat in front of all the players and asked everyone to come and listen.

"Pick-and-rolls, pick-and-rolls, pick-and-rolls, in the first quarter, the San Antonio people have been playing pick-and-rolls. In the second quarter, we must first stabilize the defense. They can't get so many easy shots. All, the defense must be fast. Be decisive!"

Hollins knows that the Spurs are one of the teams with the most pick-and-rolls in the league this season, and the pick-and-rolls have given them a lot of dislocation advantages. The black and white bears are top defensive, but their pick-and-roll prevention capabilities are actually slightly insufficient. Gasol has the shortcomings of slow movement, Randolph has not been so agile this season, his explosiveness and mobility have declined significantly.

The Spurs kept the Grizzlies defenders exhausted by picking and rolling, passing and leading the ball. Excessive physical exertion made the performance of the black and white bears decline, so the offensive end, the performance of the black and white bears will become weaker!

Popovich’s tactics usually follow one set after another!

"In the second quarter, I need outside players to move more widely on defense. Zach, you take a break for the first half of the second quarter. Jimmy, you replace Zach and play the third position. Rudy, you top four Number position, facing Split on the defensive end. If the Spurs pick and roll, Mark, I want you to stay at the basket and guard. The remaining gaps will have to be filled by outside players' defenses and large-scale running. . I know this is difficult, but this is the only way!"

After Hollins finished speaking, Randolph shook his head helplessly. Time is a killer. This season, he has had to be put on the bench for his own reasons several times.

But Randolph is not discouraged, he loves the Grizzlies, and he is willing to sacrifice for this team that respects him. So, if the team can get better without him, then he is willing to disappear.

"Rudy, you had too many irrational shots in the first quarter. I hope you can focus on the defensive end~www.wuxiaspot.com~ instead of thinking about how to score! Even if you score 40 points, But in the end we lost to the Spurs, so what's the point?" Then, Hollins criticized Guy who was too ridiculous in the first quarter.

After being named by the coach by his surname, Guy naturally only nodded silently. At this time, he shouldn't miss any more shots in the second quarter.

Link glanced at Butler, and sure enough, he was ultimately used in this game.

Butler shrugged and walked over to Link. "I'll do what you told me."

Butler didn't forget that Link said this morning that he wanted him to score points on Jefferson.

Link patted Butler on the shoulder. At the same time, the buzzer made a loud noise and the energetic cheerleaders retired. The second quarter of the game officially began!

Use a wide range of running to contain the pick and roll? It seems that today will really be very grueling.

But in the end, whether the Spurs' offense tortured the Grizzlies or the Grizzlies's defense tortured the Spurs, it's not necessarily true.
