Super Role Player
Chapter 137 Black Bear Randolph
Amid the cheers of the audience, David Stern walked to the center of the arena, took the microphone, and began to announce: "Let us welcome Gregg Popovich, congratulations to him for winning the best coach award in the 2011-2012 regular season! Congratulations to Gregg Popovich! He is one of the greatest coaches of this century!"
Smiling, Gregg Popovich walked to the center of the field, shook hands with David Stern, and accepted the Coach of the Year trophy from David Stern.
"Greg, you deserve it." David Stern handed over the trophy, watching Gregg Popovich, the head coach who caused him a lot of trouble, David Stern was also a little complicated.
Gregg Popovich smiled, and while receiving the trophy, he shook hands with David Stern: "Thank you, Mr. President, I hope to see you here again in a month's time."
One month later, when it was actually the Finals, Gregg Popovich meant it was obvious that the Spurs' goal was to win the championship. One month later, he hoped to see David Stern appear again in AT\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp; ;amp;amp;amp;amp;T Arena, presented the championship trophy to the Spurs.
Now David Stern smiled forcedly. He shook hands with Gregg Popovich and hurriedly ended the awards ceremony.
After the awards ceremony, it was game time. David Stern didn't stay to watch the fifth game between the Spurs and the Grizzlies. He left the arena directly and boarded the plane back to New York.
Before the start of the game, Lionel Hollins wrote and drew on the tactical board. In this game, he made a lot of adjustments. Although the outside world thinks that the Grizzlies are finished, they will suffer To be eliminated, but Lionel Hollins is not the kind of head coach who gives up casually.
"In this game, we play one-on-one defense, one-on-one defense, and grind the offensive end. Mike, slow down the rhythm. This task will be handed over to you. And Zach, you must be in the middle distance and inside positions. Find it, Mark, you continue to support at a high position in this game. In this game, we give up zone defense and use offense to fight for a victory!"
Lionel Hollins almost yelled the last word, and the Grizzlies' starter folded his hands and yelled cheers.
The game started, and the commentators for this game were still Hubie Brown and Mike Tyreek.
"The game is about to start. This is the fifth game between the Spurs and the Grizzlies. In the previous four games, the Spurs have led the Grizzlies 3:1. As long as this game is won, the Spurs can successfully advance to the next round."
Mike Thirick summed up the state of the series, Hubie Brown didn't speak, the game had already started.
The Grizzlies won the jumper, and McConley drove the ball upfield and then handed it to Marc Gasol.
After a run, McConley made a layup and scored 2 points on a pass back from Marc Gasol.
Anxi retreated to the bottom line to serve, Tony Parker took the basketball and trotted all the way to the frontcourt. At this time, the Spurs discovered the new change of the Grizzlies.
"The Grizzlies' defense seems to have changed again. Their defense has become man-to-man. It seems that Lionel Hollins is ready to use the Grizzlies' personal defensive ability to fight."
Hubie Brown watched for a while and also noticed a change in the Grizzlies' defense.
However, for the Spurs, the Grizzlies' man-to-man defense is not terrible. After a few runs, gaps still appeared. Tactics, it is impossible to prevent the Spurs' offense.
Kawhi Leonard appeared in an empty position, Boris Dior's pass was supported, Kawhi Leonard caught the ball and shot, the basketball went into the basket and made a successful hit!
In the beginning, the two teams played 2:2, but then, the Grizzlies were not so lucky.
Marc Gasol gets the ball in the high post, the Grizzlies run,
Rudy Gay ran to the bottom corner, received the pass, just stepped outside the three-point line, and scored a three-pointer when he pulled it up. Anxi rushed forward, blocked it tightly, and hit the iron with a bang.
Kawhi Leonard on the inside faced Zach Randolph and flew to take the basketball into his arms.
Tony Parker asked for the ball and organized the offense with Boris Diaw in the frontcourt.
Anxi hid in the bottom corner and watched the situation for a while. He felt that there should be a good chance to run to the weak side at 45 degrees.
So seeing the right time, Anxi went around the penalty area, and cooperated with Tim Duncan to make a cross screen, forming a small attack, but Anxi did not stop, but rushed to the outside.
Marc Gasol, who switched to defending Anxi, hesitated for a moment, then stopped, and turned to chase Tim Duncan. After all, if he followed Anxi out of the restricted area, the restricted area would be wide open. This is a big taboo in defense.
Normally, Marc Gasol would have stopped in place immediately, but today Lionel Hollins' arrangement is different. The Grizzlies' defense should be man-to-man, so Marc Gasol hesitated.
Anxi ran all the way to the outside line, he turned his head and saw that there was no one there!
The other players of the Grizzlies did not come to make up the defense. After all, it is man-to-man, and pick-and-rolls can be used, but rotation defense is not considered by other Grizzlies players, so Anxi was missed.
Tony Parker's pass came very quickly. As soon as Anxi gained a foothold outside the three-point line, the ball arrived, one hand, and then directly catch the ball and shoot!
Swish! With a crisp sound, the basketball crossed a perfect arc and got into the basket!
The Spurs cheered at home, the game continued, and the Spurs began to exert their strength.
Back on the defensive end, Anxi once again faced Rudy Gay. In this round of the series, Anxi mainly defended the Grizzlies star small forward. In the first four games, Rudy Gay was defended by Anxi with an average of only 10 points per game. , can be described as extremely bleak. After four games, Rudy Gay didn't dare to attack much, especially after the last game, Rudy Gay didn't even dare to hold the ball for a long time, which shows the horror of Anxi's defense.
Locking up the Grizzlies' second scorer, the Spurs' game will not be so difficult, but the Grizzlies still have Zach Randolph, this game, Lionel Hollins puts the offensive burden on More on Zach Randolph.
This power forward who was once considered a big brush redeemed himself in the Grizzlies. He used 20 plus 10 in one season to let Rudy Gay and O.J. Mayo understand that he is the boss of the Grizzlies.
Unable to play outside, the Grizzlies immediately changed their offensive strategy. Lionel Hollins yelled to make adjustments from the sidelines, and was warned once by the referee.
However, the Grizzlies adjusted very quickly. Marc Gasol began to withdraw, and more basketballs were given to Zach Randolph. The Grizzlies played a high pick-and-roll. Box offense and low singles began to show off.
First, a sharp mid-range shot scored two points, followed by another back hook, and then two consecutive mid-range shots, all of which were hit. With Zach Randolph's performance, the Grizzlies actually clung to the up the score.
