Chapter 132: The situation of the second round

   The second game between the Spurs and the Grizzlies is still held in the AT&T Arena.

   In the home team's locker room, Popovich paced back and forth, bowed his head thinking about something, everyone was quiet, Boris Dior held his coffee and sipped a little.

   A few minutes later, Popovich stood in the middle of the locker room and clapped his hands: "Okay, we should talk about how we played the next game."

All the players pricked their ears. The loss of the last battle, whether it is the coaching staff, the players, or the fans who have always supported the Spurs, are worried about the future of the team. The four semi-finals held at the same time, the Heat Won, the Celtics won, the Thunder won, and only the Spurs lost. This is worrying, so they all look forward to Popovich's ability to come up with a good solution to the crisis.

   "Mike, take out the video recorder first." Mike Budenholzer took out the video recorder, and then Popovich talked about the tactics of the game using the screen projected by the video recorder. "Everyone should see that the Grizzlies' defense is a defensive method that expands the inside and entangles the outside. Then their defense is definitely not the kind of flawless and perfect defense. Let's see first."

"Tony's breakthrough cut in, Marc Gasol moved outwards, and McConley delayed Tony's cut, so that our block cut tactics failed in the cut-in link, so what we have to do is to make our cut-in again. Come alive, when Tony cuts in, we pause!"

According to Popovich’s command, Mike Budenholzer pressed the pause button, and the screen stopped. At this time, in the screen on the projection, Tony Parker was surrounded by multiple Grizzlies defenders, and the ball was cut in. failure.

"We see that the Grizzlies put a lot of defensive players on the strong side, and at this time, the weak side is almost empty, so this is our opportunity." Popovich split the Grizzlies defense. , I told the players again, there are still more than ten minutes before the start of the game, Popovich glanced at his watch, and then quickly talked about the specific adjustments of the game.

"In this game, we have to take advantage of the weakness of the Grizzlies on the weak side. Ann, Tim, you two, take turns to move to the weak side in the offense, and stand in positions within their respective ranges. Tony, yours. The pass must be passed quickly and accurately, and the pass must be passed to the weaker player before the opponent's defender is in place, understand?"

   Anxi, Tim Duncan, and Tony Parker nodded.

   "In addition, we played a high pick-and-roll in the last game. Let's use it as a regular tactic. The rhythm used is controlled by Tony."

  ……

AT&T Arena, although the Spurs lost in the last game, the support of the Al-Quds fans is still not lacking. The Spurs fans once again filled the arena. They will always believe in waves. Povich, the players who always believe in the Spurs.

An Xi stood on the sidelines and sighed deeply. In this game, his task is relatively heavy. The opponent is Rudy Gay. He also has more offensive tasks. The weak side makes three points. Anxi gets the offensive end for the first time. Special arrangement, it's time to stand up.

"This game will be an important game for both the Spurs and the Grizzlies. If the Spurs win, then they will bring back the situation that is unfavorable for them now. If the Grizzlies win, I think I can even make a conclusion. , The Grizzlies will definitely advance, because the Spurs will lose two home games, which is fatal."

   The commentary for this game is still Mike Trick and Hubby Brown. There are different opinions on the situation of this round of the series, but one thing is recognized, that is, the Grizzlies have the upper hand in the series.

After listening to Mike Trick’s words, Hubie Brown also said: “In the first game of the two teams, the Spurs lost their home court. Just like Mike said, the current situation in the series is the Grizzlies. It’s an advantage, but it’s hard to say what this game will be. After all, Popovich can be adjusted, so let’s watch the game quietly and don’t make too many predictions."

   Hubby Brown is undoubtedly targeting the major sports media in the United States. After all, these major media have been jumping up and down throughout the playoffs, making so-called predictions.

Mark Stein, who was in New York at this time, sneered when he heard Hubby Brown said something like this: "Hehe, Hubby, this old man is so generous. If the Spurs lose this game, let’s see what he says. ."

   San Antonio, the game is about to start, Anxi stood in the center of the field.

   "The game has begun. Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides. The Spurs point guard Tony Parker, shooting guard Anxi, small forward Kawhi Leonard, power forward Boris Diaw and center Tim Duncan."

"On the Grizzlies' side, starting point guard McConley, shooting guard Tony Allen, small forward Rudy Gay, power forward Zach Randolph and center Marc Gasol, neither team has a starting lineup. What is too big a change, now it depends on whether the two sides have adjusted their tactics."

   Jumping the ball, Marc Gasol jumped up ahead of Tim Duncan, swiped the ball over, the Grizzlies got the ball.

   McConley took the ball to the frontcourt, the Spurs made a change on the defensive end, Kawhi Leonard replaced McConley, so the death entangled McConley.

"The Spurs used Kawhi Leonard to defend McConley. Their idea should be to use Kawhi Leonard to lock down the connection between McConley and the Grizzlies. UU reading www.uukanshu.com" Seeing this scene, Hu Bibran began to speculate about the tactical changes of the Spurs, because it was the former head coach of the NBA, so he guessed it.

McConley looked at Kawhi Leonard and did not choose to break through immediately. The main reason was that Kawhi Leonard’s position was too good, and he was directly stuck on McConley’s breakthrough route. There was no good breakthrough route, McConley’s. It is difficult to make a breakthrough. According to the Grizzlies' offensive style, it is better to pour the ball back and forth outside to find better opportunities.

   McConley ran for a while, and there was really no chance, so he threw the ball to Rudy Gay.

   Rudy Gay took the ball, made a circle at the top of the arc, went 45 degrees to the other side, and faced Anxi with the ball.

   Defending Rudy Gay, Anxi still has no pressure. As long as his state does not go wrong, Anxi can even prevent Rudy Gay from becoming the king of iron.

   Different from Kawhi Leonard's flawless single defense, Anxi deliberately leaked a flaw, he took a step back, and sure enough, Rudy Gay was fooled.

   Seeing Anxi take a step back, Rudy Gay still naively thought that his fake action was effective, so he immediately stopped and took off and shot a three-pointer.

   Anxi had already aimed at the opportunity, and leaped forward with a stride, and covered it with a big hand!

   "Pop!" There was a crisp sound, and then there was a burst of cheers from the AT&T arena.

   "Hot pot! Rudy Gay is too careless!"
