Chapter 472

The Grizzlies' good offensive momentum has been interrupted since the opponent used the zone defense. Relying on Xie Kai and the White Bear's piecemeal play, they barely maintained the score.The opponent's overall offense was steady and steady, overtaking the score.

Grizzlies fans at FedEx Arena were worried, feeling the team's momentum was gone again.

Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins is like a log, and he doesn't know how to handle the timeout.In desperation, he could only replace Gay.

Gay was also very upset when he was replaced. He kept complaining: "Why did you replace me? Is it all my fault for being overtaken?"

Coach Hollins was also depressed, but he didn't dare to really turn against Gay.Now at this moment, he is afraid that the conflict will intensify again. Once his opponent is swept away, his coach will really have to do his best.

Gay was replaced by Tony Allen.

With Tony Allen on the court, the Spurs' United defense became more enjoyable, and they stayed in the paint all the time.If you have the ability, you cast me to death!
Of course, Tony Allen couldn't shoot the Spurs, let alone shoot dead, he didn't even have the confidence to shoot a 3-pointer.Fortunately, his defense is really good, I can't make a shot, and I won't let you make a shot!
The two teams began to enter the blackout period, and the offensive efficiency was unimaginably low.For a moment, the fans watching the game seemed to be watching a playoff game from the 90s or early [-]s.

At the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies trailed the Spurs 20:23.

The two sides entered the rotation, and the Grizzlies still let Gay lead the team.

Guy naturally took all the chances. Like the previous game, he took all the opportunities to make shots.

The Spurs are not stupid, so let you so easily one-on-one?From time to time, they use pincers to break the passing lanes.

Gay's offensive efficiency plummeted, turnovers increased by the ton...

Coach Hollins is really going to collapse, Nima, give me a way out!
Yaodao leads the second team of the Spurs, which is completely the second team of the Grizzlies led by Gay.The gap between the two teams in terms of tactical execution and offensive and defensive efficiency is too great.

After a 7:0 spurt, the Grizzlies fell behind by double digits in an instant.

The Grizzlies are suspended immediately!
The fans of the home team in the stands couldn't stand it anymore. Last season's Western Conference Finals was also the Spurs. The team played so proactively. Even if they couldn't score, they wouldn't let the opponent attack so easily.

Fans are very sensitive, and they naturally blamed Gay for this.Obviously, without you last season, we made it to the Western Conference finals; this season with you, we are being beaten.

The boos kept ringing in the arena, which was unimaginable before.This team was booed by their own fans for the first time this season, which shows how bad their performance is.

Of course, everyone knows who the fans booed.

Guy's face was dark and he didn't say a word.He was depressed, the fans were booing him, but he didn't think it was his fault!It's not his fault that the team's second unit is trash, isn't that obvious?

Coach Hollins has nothing to do. All he can do is to replace Xie Kai and Shuangxiong to put out the fire.

The Spurs have already gained momentum, and it is so easy to press down.Moreover, the players of the Grizzlies seemed a little impatient, making more offensive mistakes, and were completely suppressed by the seasoned opponents.

As soon as Tony Allen came on the court, the Spurs frantically flanked Xie Kai, forcing him out of the ball.Xiaojia's sister-in-law is in a high position, and the Spurs don't care about his jumper at all.But the Black Bears don't give you an easy chance to score in the low position. Once you get to the deep position, they will attack decisively.

The Spurs let everyone see the team's offense and the execution of a championship-level team.This game is like a teaching game, Popovich is teaching Hollins how to lead the team.

Last season's Spurs small forward Richard Jefferson was undercover. Both Dadai and Yaodao were injured, and Yaodao missed two games.This season they have reused the excellent defensive Danny Green and Leonard, the team has become younger, and the update has been very successful, which is unbelievable.

The Grizzlies trailed all the way, and at the end of the half, the Spurs led their opponents by 52 points 40:12.

The 12-point difference is not that big, but anyone who has watched the first quarter interruption to the end of the half will know that the current state gap between the two teams may be greater than 12 points.

Xie Kai contributed 17 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal in the half.

During the intermission, Zhou Jing watched Xie Kai frowning and walked straight to the locker room worriedly, not to mention how chaotic he was.She didn't dare to imagine how much pressure the outside world would put on him after losing this game, and what kind of foul language those sunspots would say about him.

"I hope the second half can be reversed!" Zhou Jing prayed silently in her heart.

In the locker room, Coach Hollins blushed and panted, but no one wanted to listen to his chicken soup.Then there is the chicken soup, if you drink too much, you will get tired of it.If you don't have the guts to DNP a mouse shit, it's useless if you want to make a mess.

"Jeff, what do you think is the problem in Memphis now?" Marv Albert asked.

"They have a lot of problems. The biggest problem in the current lineup is the lack of shooters!" Jeff Van Gundy said.

"Isn't it a question of unity?"

"Not at all!"

Marv Albert continued to ask: "Kane Xie is a player who averaged 2.1 3-pointers per game in the regular season and made more than 3% of his 40-pointers. Isn't this considered a super shooter?"

Jeff Van Gundy nodded: "Of course it's a shooter, but isn't it too wasteful for you to let the superstar in the team do this? Besides, besides him, can you find other shooters?"

Marv Albert was speechless, because Jeff Van Gundy was talking about very real problems.

"The reason why San Antonio dares to defend the zone defense for a long time is because you don't have a real outside shooting threat except for Kane. If there is a stable 3D player, there will be many variables in this round of the series. But now, the variables Too small," exclaimed Jeff Van Gundy.

"It seems such a pity to let Sean go!" Marv Albert sighed.

Jeff Van Gundy smiled bitterly: "Memphis doesn't want to, but there is really no money to sign him."

The second half of the game finally started.

The Grizzlies' lineup is still the starting lineup. Even though Gay's performance in the first half was similar to shit, coach Hollins still trusted him and gave him enough opportunities.

"Memphis hasn't changed!" Marv Albert said.

Jeff Van Gundy laughed: "If it changes, it won't be Lionel!"

After the game started, the Grizzlies played very tough, no one hesitated to get the ball, just do it.Of course, their team offense still can't play out.

Xie Kai played stronger than at the beginning of the game. He completely regarded this game as a tiebreaker.
