Mike Fratello said: "San Antonio was very targeted on the defensive end, actively flanking Zach Randolph and letting Tony Allen's long shots go, which produced very good results."

Charles Barkley nodded and said: "Not only Tony's touch is not good, but Kane Xie's touch is also not good. He missed two consecutive shots, which caused the opponent to counterattack."

Parker will go to the free throw line, but at this time, there is a timeout on the sidelines. Naturally, this timeout was called by the Grizzlies.

The fans at the scene were even more excited because the home team's outstanding performance forced the opponent to take a timeout.

The Grizzlies players were a little frustrated. They had been blindsided by the opponent just now, and there were problems on offense and defense. Coach Hollins' call for a timeout was timely.

Hollins had already imagined the difficulties his players would encounter after the start. Except for Randolph and Tony Allen, the five starting players had no playoff experience.

Randolph and Tony Allen, who have playoff experience, are not the ones who mainly handle the ball, so their experience is difficult to help the team control the rhythm and situation of the game on the court.

In addition, it was at the opponent's home court, and the opponent was the Spurs, who had so much experience, so it was not difficult to understand why he was being chased and beaten.

"Keep calm, guys! The game has just begun. Stay calm, be patient, and reduce mistakes. We have the strength to win the game!" Coach Hollins held the tactical board and shouted to the starting five.

The timeout ended quickly and the game continued.

Parker executed two free throws. Encouraged by the home fans, he steadily made both free throws!

The Spurs took an 8:2 lead at the start! In the past 2 minutes and 13 seconds, they beat the opponent to an 8:0 climax.

Conley dribbled the ball over and passed it to Tony Allen.

Richard Jefferson, who was guarding Tony Allen, just kept him a meter away and allowed long shots but no breakthroughs.

Tony Allen breaks away from the right wing.

Xie Kai used the cover of his sister-in-law to change his direction and take the bottom line.

Duncan came over to fill the position and missed Conley who jumped to the top of the arc!

Conley shook and then took a mid-range shot - short!

Xie Kai flew to grab the offensive rebound, and he forced the attack to the frame - a fake move!

Randolph received the ball from Xie Kai and made an easy shot!

The Grizzlies broke the scoring drought for more than 2 minutes! Xie Kai's second assist!

"Beautiful assist! Charles, you always say that Kane cannot perform in the playoffs, but he currently has no points, but he can get the highest two assists in the game!" Mike Fratello said

.

Barkley said noncommittally: "Just watch, when the game is over, you will know how accurate my prediction is!"

Mike Fratlow smiled bitterly in his heart: "When have your predictions been accurate? You kissed a donkey's butt and forgot about it so quickly?"

Xie Kai's assists did not help the Grizzlies find their offensive rhythm. Except for Black Bear Randolph, the other four players failed to find their offensive sense, and their shots were also hit hard.

Fortunately, the Grizzlies' defense is still very good, and it is difficult for the Spurs to score. The impact of injuries still exists on Duncan. He has problems with his movement and touch on the offensive end, which also affects the team's offense.

Xie Kai received his second foul of the game with 4 minutes and 11 seconds left in the first quarter. He had to be replaced by teammate Sam Young. When he came off the court, he shot 0 for 4 from the field.

, made two free throws, scored 1 point, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 2 turnovers. One quarter filled the data column, but this time, it is difficult for his performance to receive too much praise.

If this data were for an ordinary role player, it might be pretty good, but for him, it is definitely unqualified.

When Xie Kai left the field, the Spurs fans booed him. As long as they were Grizzlies players, they booed him. Who told you to deliberately lose and pick us to play? If not, who would you boo?

Xie Kai's performance was not good, but coach Hollins did not replace him early because he could help the team through defense and organization on the court. His opponent George Hill also did not score, making 0 of 3 shots.

Not scored 1 point.

The Spurs have been leading, but the lead is not big. The scores of both sides are very low, and no one reached 20 points for a long time in the first quarter.

The game gradually entered the conversation of rotating lineups. The Spurs' second lineup is composed of Matt Bonner, Danny Green, DeJuan Blair, Gary Neal and Tony Parker in the starting lineup.

The Grizzlies also have a 9-man rotation. The second team is Black Bear Randolph, old captain Sean Battier, Darrell Arthur, Sam Young and high guard Graves Vazquez.

S.

The Grizzlies' second lineup has taken its combat effectiveness to a new level since adding Black Bear and Battier, so their second lineup is as good as the Spurs in both offense and defense.

At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs, playing at home, temporarily led by 2 points at 23:21.

In the second quarter, because Randolph went to rest, the Grizzlies' offense suddenly lost power. The Spurs' "French sports car" Parker led the team to a 7:1 spurt, instantly rewriting the score to 30:22.

, stopped the Grizzlies.

Xie Kai was anxious off the court. He committed two fouls and his performance in this game was terrible, but he really wanted to help the team change this situation!

Coach Hollins quickly replaced Conley, Xiao Jia's wife and other main players to prevent the situation from continuing to get out of control.

But the Spurs are really experienced. Whether they are the main players or substitutes, they can use their own technical characteristics in the system, making it difficult for opponents to guard against them.

Xie Kai did not replace teammate Sam Young until there was a dead ball with 6 minutes and 05 seconds left in the second quarter. At this time, the score on the court was 37:27, and the Spurs led by 10 points.

The Grizzlies only scored 6 points in half a quarter, and their offensive efficiency was appalling. Both teams played slowly and with low efficiency, so the score increased slowly.

"Look, Mike, I'm right, Memphis' offense can't run well, and it's hard for those players who performed well in the regular season to perform well!" Barkley said confidently.

Mike Fratello couldn't refute: "From the current point of view, the Santonio Spurs playing at home are still better prepared and have fully utilized their experience advantages. Let's see if these young people in Memphis can do it next.

Can anyone stand up?"

Conley slowly dribbled over.

Xie Kai moves without the ball in the frontcourt, and George Hill haunts him like a ghost.

For George Hill, the task assigned to him by coach Popovich is to entangle Xie Kai, no matter what method is used. And if he can exchange words with Xie Kai, that is what the Spurs are most willing to see.
