In this game, the starting lineup of the Grizzlies who played at home are: center - Marc Gasol, power forward - Zach Randolph, small forward - Xia Taian Prince, shooting guard - Xie Kai, and organizational guard - Mike Conley.

The Grizzlies' starting lineup has never changed, whether it is victory or failure. Experts have suggested before that no team has ever made this team change, so no one knows how much their potential is, and the unknown is the most terrifying thing.

The starting lineup of the Spurs who played away are: center - Tiago Split, power forward - Tim Duncan, small forward - Kawaii Leonard, shooting guard - Danny Green, and organizational guard - Tony Parker.

The Spurs' starting lineup is also very stable, and they still put the Demon Sword in the second lineup. The starting lineup puts two young men, Leonard and Danny Green, who have better defenses.

This season, the Spurs are among the top 5 in the league, both offense and defense, and they have achieved excellent results. If it weren't for the Grizzlies' record, they would have become the first in the league.

So to be precise, this is a series of the top two teams in the league, and some people jokingly call it "a final that started early."

The Grizzlies dare not underestimate the Spurs. Although the GDP is old, the old thief is well trained. These three people are well maintained and their condition is even better than last season. Moreover, in addition to these three people, the young people of this team have gradually played out, and the old and new have done a great job of alternating between them.

The most important thing is that this is a team that plays team basketball, with a very mature offensive and defensive system. If you want to defeat such a team, it is almost impossible to do without showing 100% of your strength.

Yu Jia, who was hosted in CCTV Studio, held his glasses and said excitedly: "Teacher Xu, the Western Conference Finals are the first to start. These are two teams with record rankings in the league this season. The two teams have met in the playoffs in the past three seasons. This is their fourth consecutive season in the playoffs. This is definitely a series like a Mars colliding with the Earth!"

Xu Jicheng said: "It is true. The Spurs have the best overall nature in the league and the Grizzlies have the strongest inside line. The meeting between these two teams is something fans have been looking forward to."

Yu Jia smiled and said: "Charles Barkley, the former NBA superstar in TNT, believes that Xie Kai did not meet a real opponent in the first two rounds of the playoffs, and the Spurs will not let him perform well. What do you think?"

Xu Jicheng smiled and said, "This is a certain reason. Indeed, from the players' personal strength, the Spurs' ability in the swinger position will be better, but it is a bit absolute to conclude that Xie Kai cannot perform. The two teams have encountered each other last year, and everyone has seen Xie Kai's performance."

The game has not started yet, and fans are cheering now. This is the Western Conference Final. Grizzlies fans are looking forward to adding a Western Conference championship flag over this stadium.

Grizzlies fans are confident because their opponents were defeated in the Western Conference semi-finals last season. They did not have a home court advantage last season, so they were still easily killed. If they have a home court advantage this season, wouldn’t it be easier?

The main players of both sides are ready to play and the game is about to begin. There is no communication between the main players of the two teams. Daidai, facial paralysis, Danny Green and others on the Spurs are not talkative, while the Grizzlies seem a bit serious. This is a battle, not a class reunion.

Split and the White Bear prepare to jump near the middle circle, and the game is about to begin.

There were constant screams in the stands. The Spurs were definitely stronger than the Clippers and more annoying to the home team fans. You should know that in the Western Conference Semi-finals of 2011-12, the home team was swept by the opponent... At that time, the fans poured out their hopes for winning the championship, but they were swept, so Guy and the Spurs became the targets of fans' anger.

It was not until last season that this anger was slightly relieved. As for the sudden disappearance, it was unlikely.

The jump starts, the White Bears lose to Split, and the Spurs get the first offensive ball.

TP9 dribbles over.

Both sides are not running and bombing, but mainly positions. The Spurs' positional battles are now increasingly inclined to be without ball cover, pass and cut, and move the ball.

This is a typical team basketball, but the average team cannot play it because they do not have such good execution ability.

In Xie Kai's opinion, the strongest team is always superstar + team basketball. Superstar basketball is dead and has a risk of injury. The role player participation rate is low. It is suitable for playing the playoffs, but the regular season record is somewhat difficult to guarantee; a complete team basketball is suitable for playing the regular season, and it is not good when fighting bayonets in the playoffs.

The Spurs are not without superstars. At critical moments, GDP has one-on-one attack ability and cannot be underestimated.

The Spurs went through Parker and Daidai's pick-and-roll and gave Danny Green the 3-point shot - directly in!

They immediately took the lead 3:0!

Yu Jia sighed: "Danny Green shot this ball so decisively!"

Xu Jicheng nodded and said, "This ball is due to Split's unball cover for him, which has delayed Xie Kai's pursuit and defense well."

Conley dribbled over and organized the attack at the top of the arc.

Defensive Xie is Danny Green.

In the 3 full seasons of the Spurs, Danny Green's three-point shooting percentage has been above 40%. Coupled with his elite-level outside defense, he has become one of the best 3D players in the entire league.

Conley and the White Bears play pick-and-roll, while the Spurs adopt the strategy of delay + squeeze through the screen.

Pick-and-roll defense has always been the highlight of every NBA team's defense. After the league's teams are increasingly using low-post backs as the offensive starting style, the pick-and-roll at the No. 1-5 or No. 1-4 has become the offensive starting style of more and more teams.

The Spurs' pick-and-roll defense method is more traditional. Big guys delay, small guys surround or squeeze through the cover (depending on the ball-holder's shooting ability). The advantage of this pick-and-roll defense method is that it will not allow the opponent to easily misplace, nor will it cause empty spaces because of more defense and less.

Of course, this defensive method tests the cooperation and defensive awareness among players. Generally, teams with poor execution and poor defensive literacy are not effective in using it, so it is better to switch defenses or attack directly.

The switch to defend is more useful for teams with strong swing ability, while the pinch is easier for teams with fast rotation. The Spurs often play two big men in the interior, and the players are old, so the pinch holders and the switch to defend are not very suitable for them.

Conley couldn't find an offensive opportunity, so he took the ball and looked for Xie Kai.
