Chapter 45 The first three quarters that are evenly matched
"Duncan, what's going on? You're only facing a rookie. You've actually been blocked and interfered twice. You'll come off the field and think about it carefully." Popovich was really angry.
Let Duncan replace it.
"Elson, replace Duncan, Baowen, you come to defend Li Tian. Don't underestimate his running without the ball, and don't ignore his three-pointer, do you understand?" Popovich looked at Bao seriously.
arts.
Bao Wen nodded fiercely. He understood that Popovich really attached great importance to Li Tian at this time and he could not ignore it at all.
"Parker, you attack." Popovich arranged all this in an orderly manner.
"Hey, Duncan was actually replaced. This old man is not an ordinary person. It's so abnormal. The starting power forward was replaced in just one minute. Duncan was replaced."
The entire AT&T Center Arena was shocked, and Duncan was replaced in one minute after he played.
The audience was shocked and looked at Popovich with a dull look on his face. What's going on?
There was a commotion and an uproar.
"Li, you can, you beat Duncan down." Stoudemire gave Li Tian a thumbs up.
"The storm is coming, cheer up. Didn't you see Popovich's expression?" Li Tian pointed at Popovich.
"Pray for us, and hope God will stand on our side." Stoudemire drew a cross on his chest.
"Come on, brothers, they are all NBA players, who are afraid of whom?" Li Tian boosted his morale.
"Brothers, do it." Gasol also yelled before he came on the court.
Pause ends.
Parker held the ball at the top of the arc, Watson blocked Gasol behind him at low post, ready to catch the ball at any time. Oberto was near the free throw line, Finley stepped forward to help Parker cover, and Bowen was ambushed in the bottom corner.
Parker suddenly launched an attack, and Stoudemire did not keep up with Parker's footsteps. Li Tian stepped forward to assist in defense. Parker passed the ball to Oberto, who was standing near the free throw line.
The Grizzlies do not have a mature defensive system or communication with each other. The Grizzlies' defense has loopholes at this moment.
Navarro, who was defending the baseline, had to go forward to make up for the defense. Oberto returned the ball to Finley in the pick-and-roll. The Grizzlies' defense was completely in chaos, and they began to find the situation where they couldn't find the defender. Guy saved.
Go up.
Finley passed the ball to Bowen, who was undefensive at the baseline, and Bowen made a three-pointer in the corner.
After the timeout, the Spurs passed the ball continuously and got the chance.
After Navarro passed the half, the Grizzlies did not have an effective offensive system, and more importantly, pick-and-roll and personal attacks between players.
Li Tian stepped forward to launch a pick-and-roll for Navarro, blocking Oberto behind him. Bao Wen chased Li Tian closely, and even if the pick-and-roll was picked-and-roll, he would not replace him.
Navarro failed to complete the pass with Li Tian, and went back to the outside again. Li Tian pulled Bowen down the 45-degree three-point line on the right, and Navarro broke through the basket through Guy's pick-and-roll.
Navarro made a layup.
The Grizzlies' offense is like previewing the Grizzlies' next attack in advance, and it's too difficult to play.
Li Tian was helpless about Bao Wen's close defense.
The two teams are fighting each other to attack and defend, making it harder and harder each other.
Seeing this game will make people ring, the Spurs and Pistons finals that year.
Almost every ball will have a chance to attack after 15 seconds.
In such a game, the morale of the Grizzlies at the beginning was gradually worn out.
After the starter was replaced, Li Tian watched his teammates have a low morale and the score was gradually caught up.
The score reached 22-18, and the Grizzlies still maintained a 4-point lead.
"Paul, Guy, when we are on the court, we need to change our offensive strategy, otherwise we will not be able to hold on to the first half of this game."
Li Tian called over to Gasol and Guy.
"The Spurs are too difficult to play. Whether it is tacit understanding or their defensive system, they are above us. We can only use strange moves. We have to keep running on the court and not stop for a moment."
Li Tian gave his opinion, and the other two consciously ignored Mark's existence. Li Tian's performance in the Grizzlies gradually made him stand firm.
"We play like this, everyone runs without the ball, and then finds the right opportunity, double pick-and-roll, squeezes through the middle, and receives the ball, no matter whether the opportunity is good or not, we have to take action; after defending, we immediately launch a fast attack,
If we don’t fight a position, we will definitely not be able to beat the Spurs when we fight a position."
"Fuck him, fight." Guy also shouted.
After the main force returned, the Grizzlies changed their previous positional battle.
Each round completed the attack within ten seconds. Regardless of whether he could score or not, only Gasol and Li Tian were left to compete for rebounds, and everyone else retreated.
The running Grizzlies gradually stabilized the situation.
Duncan gave up against Li Tian directly, and Bao Wen started to guard Li Tian throughout the game, and Li Tian did not get a better chance to make a phone call.
Navarro dribbled to the top of the arc and blocked Parker who was defending himself, and Li Tian ran from the bottom line toward Navarro.
Guy, who was near the free throw line, also raised up and blocked Bao Wen, who was chasing Li Tian, strongly.
Li Tian ran to the three-point line, and Navarro also passed the ball to Li Tian. Li Tian immediately took action after receiving the ball.
Li Tian's attack time was constantly shortening, and it took only about 0.7 seconds to take action.
"Swish!"
Three-pointers hit a steadily.
Band the gap to 10 points again.
"Li, your arrangement is great, but our cooperation is too unfamiliar and almost didn't stop Parker." Navarro stepped forward and slapped Li Tian to celebrate.
"The reason why the Spurs' tactics are so smooth is that their main players have not changed in recent years. Just practice more in the future."
Li Tian quickly came to Duncan.
Duncan's attack this time is the most important thing for Li Tian.
Duncan did not launch an offense easily, but instead used the changes in his footsteps to constantly change Li Tian's defensive posture.
The oldest rookie is worthy of being the oldest rookie. Li Tian just hesitated for a moment, and Duncan directly hit the mid-range shot of the 45-degree goal, making a steady shot.
Li Tian was taught a lesson by Duncan again.
The Grizzlies players are tireless in running positions, and they are always struggling to catch up on defense, not giving the Spurs a chance to take action easily.
After the first half, the Grizzlies maintained a 6-point lead with 49-43.
The Grizzlies' starter walked to the locker room and several of them lay down and recovered their strength.
Mark was spitting around him, constantly talking about the tactics of the second half. No one listened to his tactical arrangements seriously. It was still the same old trick, just wireless singles.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Grizzlies' starting players can still maintain their physical strength.
Parker and Duncan's continuous cooperation successfully made several attacks, and the scores kept approaching.
The Grizzlies' shooting percentage has dropped significantly.
At one time, Duncan passed the ball from the bottom line to outside the three-point line, Parker made a three-pointer, and the Spurs successfully tied the score.
The two teams drew, and the score reached 55-55.
Mark, who was sitting off the court, kept shouting, "Come on, keep up, defend closely, and pay attention to running."
The Grizzlies players on the court were much slower, just like they were filled with lead.
