1357. Stone Buddha is still the same stone Buddha (14th full month 400)
No matter how big the teammates have emotional fluctuations, they were stolen by Sun Ce in the last game and were unwilling to be depressed, and the three troikas adjusted their teammates' emotions before the game.
Duncan is the decisive needle, especially Duncan's performance in recent years, which makes his teammates not need to pay attention to his data and on-court performance. Teammates all believe that as long as Duncan is on the team, the team will not fall.
Even Sun Ce, a player who is an opponent, believes that Duncan will not be weak in the Spurs.
Although they failed to hit the morale of their opponents, the Grizzlies had nothing to regret. If the opponents were so easily defeated, they would not be the Spurs.
At the beginning, the Grizzlies continued to compete with the Spurs with offensive lineups.
After the first game, the Spurs made quite clear adjustments to Sun Ce's defense.
In the last game, Popovich wanted to cut off Sun Ce's pass route and use their regular season defense against James, Ross and Paul, but the effect was worse than expected. Sun Ce did perform much worse in the second half, but in the first half
He scored too many points in the game, and Sun Ce's key goal was very good.
This made the Spurs simply use normal methods to defend Sun Ce, just like Kobe.
Why do the Spurs never have to cut off the pass to defend Kobe? Because it will be really killed by Kobe.
Judging from Sun Ce's scoring efficiency in the last game, the Spurs would rather give Sun Ce the opportunity to attract cross-bang passes than give Sun Ce the chance to keep shooting. This guy is like Kobe. He will definitely make a shot if he has the chance, but Sun Ce will pass it out
If you shoot for your teammates, your shooting rate may not be as high as Sun Ce.
The focus of defending Sun Ce is still that Guy is sticking to defend the mid-range and long shots, holding the basket, but it becomes a pinch attack when it should be, rather than being hooked and shot from the bottom line like in the last game in order to cut off Sun Ce's pass, Sun Ce kept hooking the ball from the bottom line in order to cut off Sun Ce's pass.
It felt that Sun Ce made a key bottom corner hook three-pointer with 1 out of 7 three-pointer.
The Spurs' defensive effect in the first quarter tonight was much better than the previous game! The main reason is that the Spurs dare not lose anymore, and they are even more deadly than the previous game!
Although the Spurs only scored 28 points in the first quarter, they defended the Grizzlies only scored 20 points in the first quarter.
The Grizzlies were not afraid either, at least the opponent did not widen the gap to more than 10 points in the first quarter.
In the second quarter, Sun Ce continued to play, saying that there were three chances of losing in a series, but he had to win every game. Coach Hollins set up a consumption strategy based on hard work to win, otherwise it would be consumed continuously.
The Spurs can't do it.
Sun Ce is ready for this round of the Spurs series. It is necessary to play the entire game in every game, and the prop space is in stock!
As for what to do if you use too much to reserve the next two rounds by the stars... First of all, you have to pass this level of the Spurs before you can get the next round.
When the Spurs were attacking in the first quarter, they sacrificed their own offense and had to defend the Grizzlies. They obviously made sufficient preparations.
And the Grizzlies' key preparation is naturally defense!
The Grizzlies still scored not high in the second quarter, but Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Beverly, Bathir, Gasol Jr. started, Jimmy Butler, Paul George, Larry Sanders
Randolph alternates, 9 players rotated to fight for defense throughout the quarter, and only scored 22 points in a single quarter. Duncan only played 4 minutes in the second quarter, and the score was better than the first quarter.
More importantly, the Spurs were prevented from getting 18 points in the second quarter!
46 to 42, the Spurs' lead was narrowed to 4 points!
But in this quarter, Sun Ce always feels that the opponent intentionally reduces the playing time of their offensive players. For example, Guy played 43 minutes in the last game, and only played 16 minutes in the first half today. Even if the second half is full, there will be no first half.
Ginobili was replaced after only 4 minutes in the first half. In the unfavorable situation, the Spurs insisted on using George Hill to play point guard, and Parker did not need to control him.
Sun Ce, instead, he used a role player lineup with better defense to polish it.
During the intermission, Sun Ce thought about it and used Sessionska. After the bonus, the speed was slightly faster than he originally did, but he failed to get a perfect bonus. Including the effect of the balance bracelet, it was only 100.
The bonus of 85% is not bad, but fortunately, the shooting has little impact, and with Sessions' A-level physical strength, it is considered to be used as a physical potion.
Finally, in the third quarter, Guy and Ginobili were paired with Parker, Dior and Bonner, and they started to soar in the third quarter!
In the second half of the third quarter, Duncan replaced Bonner, and the other four players played the third quarter. When the Grizzlies defended only 46 points in the first half, the third quarter broke out, with 33 in a single quarter.
Points, the Grizzlies' offense recovered under Nash's adjustment, and scored 27 points in a single quarter, but the opponent still widened the gap to 10 points!
This time the Spurs laid an advantage. The Grizzlies launched a counterattack in the last quarter, but at the critical moment, Duncan and Guy hit key balls one after another, with the focus being Duncan's two tip-in hands, which continued Guy's shots could not be made.
Duncan himself also hit a back-attack and a low post back shot.
Although the Grizzlies, Sun Ce, Klay Thompson and Paul George scored a three-pointer in the three-pointer, Randolph also completed a tip-in, which was 1 point more than the Spurs' critical moment.
In 3 minutes, the Spurs led the Grizzlies 97-93 and 4 points...
In the end, Sun Ce played for 48 minutes, made 13 of 31 shots, including 3 of 9 three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, and scored 35 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 blocks and 1 steal. Although he helped the team play in the final quarter
The 24-18 counterattack wave made a fierce attack when the Spurs were defensive and lost their energy, narrowing the gap to 4 points.
But at the last moment, Duncan scored 6 points in a row at the last moment, turning the data into a 21-point, 13-point, 4-assisted and 2-blocked performance, helping the Spurs defeat 107-104-104
The Grizzlies defended their second home court!
...
...
With a record of 1 win and 1 loss, the Grizzlies returned to Memphis. Although they lost in the second game, the morale of the Grizzlies is still high overall.
Winning a away game is already a very good situation for the Grizzlies. Although they are very hard-working and want to win, they won't be so frustrated if they lose away.
After all, the Spurs are on the other side, so it is easy to win and there will be ghosts.
Sun Ce regrets that the opponent's strategy in the first three quarters worked very well, but in the fourth quarter, it seemed that he had reached the end of his strength, and he could not defend and only scored 18 points in the first 9 minutes of the offense... Although it was not bad, but for
For the normal offense of the Spurs, when the Grizzlies sent out an offensive lineup in the fourth quarter, the Spurs should not only score 18 points in 9 minutes.
Chapter completed!
