Five Hundred and Forty-Eight. There Is Progress but Not Enough!
After the game started, the Grizzlies... still fell into a disadvantage.
The Grizzlies coaching staff tried to use the mobility of Sun Ce and Conley, Gasol's protection ability at the basket, Battier's single defense ability, and Randolph's weight ability to carry the center to curb the Spurs' outside pick-and-roll movement. .
But Ginobili saw through this at a glance. He changed his previous style of pass-cutting and began to make continuous breakthroughs. He used his footsteps to quickly cause Gasol to foul twice in the paint.
After the Grizzlies were forced to switch back to man-to-man defense and replaced Tony Allen, Paul George, and DeAndre Jordan, the Spurs started playing as a team again.
The Grizzlies were generally passive.
After the first half, Sun Ce played 16 minutes and Randolph played 22 minutes. The two scored 30 points together, helping the Grizzlies score 46 points in the half. The Grizzlies team defended very hard, but Still scored 55 points by the opponent.
Sun Ce had 13 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in the half. He worked hard on offense and defense according to the coaching staff's tactical arrangements. Compared with the last time they played against the Spurs, the Grizzlies' performance this time has been greatly improved!
But it's still not enough. The Grizzlies have studied the Spurs a lot and in depth, but the Spurs have also studied the Grizzlies well and even guessed what the Grizzlies want to do.
Coach Hollins looked at the situation of the game and fell behind by 9 points at halftime...and except for Duncan who played 20 minutes in the half, the other two players in the opponent's troika only played 10 minutes in the first half. Ginobili and Parker took turns. After a while, I rested most of the time. When they needed to burst, they came up!
Duncan played very actively today, and he was also very active in the last game, mainly on the defensive end. Even if he couldn't guard Randolph, he also worked hard to defend and tried his best to help defend.
There is no other reason. Randolph's words "Tennessee O'Neal is the strongest in the world" have made Randolph be stared at by various power forwards since the beginning of this season.
Moreover, before the game, Duncan had the opportunity to talk to Sun Ce, but he was tricked by the other party. He, Old Deng, also wanted to be on TV and wanted the camera! Chatting with Sun Ce... is the camera!
So Duncan worked harder on the defensive end today than in the last game. He interfered with Randolph several times to grab offensive rebounds. Otherwise, Randolph, who was also very active, would have scored 20+ in the half.
The season has only started less than a month ago, and the Spurs are still in a brutal state of killing each other. At this stage, except for the backcourt combination of Fisher + Kobe, which they have never been able to defeat, there is really no one who can defeat them. What team has a way to deal with it.
At least the Grizzlies, who are still in the exploratory stage, are difficult to deal with.
…
This time it was not as miserable as the last one, mainly because of experience.
A large part of the reason why they lost so badly in the last game was because the opponent made 14 of 20 shots in the first quarter and scored 36 points in a single quarter, which directly stunned them.
This time I have some experience, my mentality is more stable, and my tactical defense is relatively targeted.
However, the opponent's troika was in good shape after a rest. Ginobili played 27 minutes and scored 18 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists. Parker played 25 minutes and scored 20 points and 4 assists. Duncan played 35 minutes and scored 18 points and 6 assists. 11 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks.
George Hill, who came off the bench, also had 12 points and 3 assists, and Gary Neal scored a game-high 22 points for the Spurs.
This is all five cores!
The Spurs sent 11 players today, and all of them scored.
The start of the season... It should be said that before the All-Star Weekend this season, the Spurs were in ridiculously good shape! This is a magical team that only lost 5 games in the original time and space!
Although the Spurs did not guard the Grizzlies, Sun Ce played 35 minutes and scored 25 points on 9 of 17 shots, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks, 2 steals and 4 turnovers. The Spurs except Richard Jefferson defended him. It has a certain effect. When other perimeter defenders are guarding him, he just sits low and makes a sideways hook, hitting the opponent's perimeter without unnecessary effort.
However, the Spurs did a very good job in cutting off his passes in the second half. Sun Ce made three mistakes in the second half, which was all due to the Spurs' perimeter defense against Morrow, Paul George, and Battier.
Randolph was even more explosive, scoring 38 points and 8 rebounds in 41 minutes. However, Sun Ce and Randolph scored 63 points and 20 rebounds together. The Grizzlies worked hard on defense and did not let the opponent play as terrifying as the previous game. Hit rate, still lost the game by 8 points.
108 to 116, the Grizzlies failed to win consecutive games.
With 12 wins and 3 losses, the Grizzlies once again fell to third place in the Western Conference...
…
…
After the game, the Grizzlies held a game summary meeting.
The attitude on the defensive end was good enough, but the attitude was not firm enough and the initial defensive strategy was not adhered to; the team's defensive strategy against the Spurs was not perfect enough.
These two points are the fundamental reasons for failing to guard the Spurs again tonight.
The two work together, because the defensive strategy is not enough to prevent the Spurs, who have always had a good shooting touch since the beginning of the new season, so the Grizzlies unconsciously started to attack with the opponent, unlike the above. After suppressing the rhythm in the half, the Spurs scored 61 points in the second half.
Sun Ce scored 5 points in a row before the end of the game. A mid-range shot and a breakthrough 2+1 will also reduce the point difference to less than 10 points. It will be a very difficult game.
But there is progress!
Because they forced the Spurs to make tactical changes during the game.
Don't be afraid of losing. It's just the regular season anyway. Their record is so good now. Losing one or two games is not a big problem. The main thing is that the adjustments must be effective!
The last time they played against the Spurs, the Spurs seemed to be playing around. Their bench lineup was able to score 64 points with the Grizzlies. But this time, when the troika was on the court at the same time, the Spurs had to think tactically. Only by adapting to different angles can we take the initiative.
The Grizzlies overall improved tonight.
But if you lose, you lose. You have to continue to summarize and find a solution.
Fortunately, the regular season is still very long, so we can plan for the long term.
The next two meetings were after the All-Star break, so the Grizzlies had enough time to study the Spurs and wait for the next meeting.
In addition to competing for playoff spots in the regular season, it is more important for strong teams to observe potential opponents. If they really can't find a way to deal with the Spurs, they can only bite the bullet and beat the Lakers.
But the good thing is that the Grizzlies are not completely helpless now. At least they have proven that the Spurs cannot guard their two low-post singles players on the offensive end!
First, Sun Ce couldn't be guarded from the outside, so he had to use Duncan, who was strong in assisting defense, to interfere. Then Randolph played even more violently, forcing Duncan not to dare to assist in defense. Sun Ce scored 25 points in a single game...
The Spurs also lack a strong perimeter defender, and this is something coach Hollins sees that can be exploited.
If there is nothing he can do, Coach Hollins really doesn't want to play the Mavericks and Lakers in the playoffs. Their strength is in the interior, and these two teams are too strong in the interior.
…
…
The coaching staff is full of fighting spirit, but Sun Ce, after practicing the Nash training method in the gym, looked at the first stage event of "The Bear of Counterattack" written (0:2), it was so stressful!
The two games against the Spurs after the All-Star break must be won!
The coaching staff is working hard, and Sun Ce also needs to work hard.
There are also some happy things. I have scored 20+ points in two consecutive games. I also rebounded well today.
Sun Ce looked at his average data per game. He has played 15 games, 18 points, 11.2 rebounds, 6 assists, 3.4 blocks, 1.4 steals, 2.2 turnovers...
Sun Ce really hopes to exchange rebounds and assists...blocking shots and adding steals will do! Wouldn’t that be invincible?
Putting aside these complicated thoughts, the two games against the Spurs in the first half of the season have ended. They lost both times, so they lost. The next game is also very important.
Sun Ce and his teammates... really want to return to the first place!
After occupying the first place for so long, it is really unpleasant to suddenly be far away. No matter what the coaching staff thinks, their players really want to be first.
Putting the Spurs' matters aside for now, after a day off tomorrow, another strong opponent is coming.
The Third Young Master of Thunder!
After returning to the apartment and taking a shower, Sun Ce looked at the Thunder's situation this season through scouting reports and online news before going to bed.
The Thunder's three young men have begun to truly realize their talents this season!
Durant is competing with Anthony for the scoring title. Durant averages 28.5 points per game, slightly behind Anthony's 28.9 points.
Westbrook averaged 18.6 points, 7.5 rebounds and 8.4 assists per game...
"Eh? Why are Turtle's statistics different from what I remember? Didn't he average 20+ per game since the third grade? What's the matter with his rebounding? Is it higher than Durant?"
I don't want to be the boss
I don't want to be the boss
