One Thousand Two Hundred and Ten. Another No. 6 Pick Explodes!

The Spurs scored 35 points in a single quarter, which can be said to be a failure on the defensive end. The Grizzlies originally thought that they would defend the Spurs to between 25 and 30 points, and they would try their best to score more than 20 points to reduce the burden of the team falling behind in the first quarter, and lose as little as possible in the first quarter.

But they didn't expect that they couldn't defend at all, and the opponent's offensive changes were difficult to prevent.

But the result was even better than expected!

In the first quarter, they relied on offense to fight the opponent!

Except for Sun Ce and Klay Thompson, it is difficult to expect another player to score in double digits in a single quarter, but Paul George did it tonight!

4 of 6 shots in a single quarter, two of which were three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, and 13 points in a single quarter!

31 to 35, a 4-point difference, although the process was not quite the same as expected, but the result was the same.

Paul George shot so well, and Sun Ce took the initiative to play more when the official timeout in the first quarter came. In this situation, of course, we have to continue to attack! Coach Hollins replaced Klay Thompson, Yi Jianlian, and Nash, and they started in the second quarter with Sun Ce and Paul George.

After the intermission, the Spurs' lineup of George Hill, Danny Green, Stephen Jackson, Dio, and Blair came on the court.

The Spurs replaced the faster lineup, and Popovich expected the Grizzlies to strengthen their offense.

After the second quarter, Klay Thompson and Paul George were both closely defended, but the defense expanded toward the outside, and the inside was relatively weak. Nash seized this opportunity and kept counterattacking. The Spurs did a good job of returning defense with a faster lineup, but they attached importance to defending double 3D. Another No. 6 pick of the Grizzlies seized the opportunity.

Whenever Sun Ce cut in and received the ball under Nash's command to attract the defensive attention of others other than the opponent's blocking shooter, Yi Jianlian took the opportunity to find opportunities to cut in or open up for shooting.

When Yi Jianlian scored 10 points in a row with 4 of 4 shots and 2 of 2 free throws, the Grizzlies surpassed the Spurs by two points with 46 to 44!

In 3 minutes and 41 seconds, the Grizzlies played a wave of 15 to 9!

Popovich immediately called a timeout after the score was overtaken, and replaced Duncan and Gay in advance, replacing Stephen Jackson and Dio to strengthen both offense and defense.

As soon as Duncan came on, the Spurs' offense was upgraded to a higher level. Duncan passed the ball to George Hill from the high position and scored two points.

The score was tied at 46 to 46, and the Spurs tied the score.

But... Yi Jianlian played with feeling!

Yi Jianlian tried hard to study the Spurs' games, mainly watching the games between the Mavericks and the Spurs, to see how Nowitzki played against Duncan as a role player.

It is definitely not possible for Yi Jianlian to imitate Nowitzki in his prime, but if he wants to imitate Nowitzki at this stage, although his mid-range and long-range shooting is far inferior to Nowitzki, he can still shoot. The key is that Yi Jianlian's athletic ability is far better than Nowitzki, and his cutting style is worse than Nowitzki.

With excellent cutting sense and decent mid-range and long-range shooting, Yi Jianlian broke out in the second quarter!

In a counterattack after Duncan came on the court, Sun Ce entered the three-second zone and received a long pass from Nash. Duncan and Gay, who came back to defend, double-teamed Sun Ce and were extremely afraid of Sun Ce's receiving the ball under the basket, but Sun Ce threw the ball towards Duncan's crotch when he was double-teamed.

Cross-crotch pass!

Duncan keenly felt that he was going to be on the top five again, and quickly turned around to stop it, but he was still a beat late!

Yi Jianlian received the ball and jumped over to Duncan who was turning around, and smashed the ball into the basket through Duncan!

With the sound of the whistle, the noble Buddha saw Yi Muhualian's shaking red hair when he fell... He also wants to dye one!

Yi Jianlian successfully dunked over Duncan and got a free throw!

With Yi Jianlian's free throw, his personal score in the quarter increased to 13 points, and the Grizzlies took a 3-point lead.

Popovich almost spit out blood. The two No. 6 picks on the other side are crazy! Even if he had planned everything, he couldn't have expected such a situation to happen.

The Spurs had played very well on offense, scoring 46 points in more than 17 minutes, but the opponent scored 49 points!

After the official timeout, Popovich directly used the strongest offensive combination of the Troika, Gay, and Dio.

Popovich wanted to get through this period first and think of a way at halftime.

In terms of offense, the Spurs are not afraid of anyone, even if the Grizzlies have been out of control in the first half tonight.

However, the Spurs really can't defend the Grizzlies.

Yi Jianlian and Paul George posed a huge threat. The Spurs focused on defending these two players, so Sun Ce and Klay Thompson had a chance. They also had Nash, an offensive organizer who could predict the pass in advance when his teammates had a chance.

Tonight, Nash had two regular end points and two burst end points to pass the ball. In addition to Klay Thompson, the other three had the ability to cut into the basket and bomb the basket. Paul George cut in more actively than usual tonight.

The good news for the Spurs is that no one can limit Duncan in this lineup of the Grizzlies. Duncan scored 9 points and 2 assists in the second half of the second quarter, and the Spurs barely did not fall behind.

At the end of the half, Paul George, who played the entire first half, scored 20 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 steal, including 7 points in the second quarter; Yi Jianlian scored 16 points in the second quarter. With the two No. 6 picks scoring 23 points in a single quarter, the Grizzlies scored 30+ in two consecutive quarters, and the second quarter scored 34 to 28.

65 to 64, the Grizzlies led by 1 point into the halftime break!

…

Yes! No tactics can compare to the star's explosion, and Coach Hollins has learned this again.

However, it was not Sun Ce who exploded this time, but the two No. 6 picks.

Sun Ce played the entire first half, got 12 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 blocks. Both blocks were given to Parker. The assists were much more than normal. The second pass was done very well. Sun Ce was able to have a hit rate of 4 out of 8 shots in the first half, thanks to the outstanding performance of several teammates.

However, the third quarter is going to be troublesome.

Paul George played the entire first half, and he must rest in the third quarter to reserve energy for the fourth quarter.

Klay Thompson is fine, but Nash played the entire second quarter, and he had to rest for half a quarter in the third quarter and play the second half. The same is true for Yi Jianlian.

Then the third quarter must be pinned on defense and the offense of Sun Ce and Randolph.

Sun Ce came to the bathroom after returning to the locker room.

The defense tried its best in the first half, but failed to stop the opponent, but at least it limited the opponent's score in the second quarter to be much lower than that in the first quarter. The Grizzlies were able to take advantage of the explosion of the two No. 6 picks and scored 36 points in the first half to overtake the score and enter the halftime break.

But just as coach Hollins thought, Sun Ce is now also worried about the third quarter. Even if Duncan has to rest in the third quarter, the Spurs are still very strong!
