Randolph''s take-off from the spot, his hands smashed, finally let the Grizzlies'' dead attack have some improvement. This dreary competition, also added a trace of passion finally.


    Link''s uncanny pass challenged the Spurs'' well-designed defense. He''s been preparing for this game for so long, but he''s not here to set off Popovich.


    8 to 12, the difference starts to shrink. And just Randolph''s goal, no doubt greatly improved the Grizzlies'' morale. Now the Spurs want to break the Grizzlies defense, I''m afraid it''s not so easy.


    The Spurs'' attack is as simple as ever, covering, running and restraining. Popovich doesn''t like fancy stuff, professional basketball, and it''s about winning rather than looking good. To win in the most direct and effective way is what Popovich believes in.


    However, the Grizzlies'' tight defense did get the Spurs into a quagmire. They passed the ball patiently many times, but they didn''t get a lead. Don''t underestimate the role of morale, which can''t be quantified, in basketball games.


    Sometimes it''s enough to make a team change.


    In the end, the Spurs only had a personal attack by Ginobili before the 24 second attack time ran out. Ginobili this season can score 17.4 points per game, the second highest in his career. This is mainly because Ginobili is not the sixth man this year, but a real starter. Therefore, the number of shots also increased, second only to Parker.


    But unfortunately, Tony Allen doesn''t always get the Argentines to perform. Ginobili''s quick stop jump shot finally played iron in Tony Allen''s interference, and the Grizzlies got the chance to continue to narrow the gap!


    "This is definitely a defensive battle worthy of the name. The winning way of the two teams today is to use defense to contain each other! The first quarter of the game has played half, the Grizzlies'' score is not on the double, the Spurs'' score is not high


    As Steve Cole spoke, the Grizzlies had already attacked the half court. Richard Jefferson stood by, impressed by the assist he had just dropped out of the draft.


    Popovich said more than once that the drop off draft was very smart and had a high basketball IQ. But if you don''t meet link in person, you''ll never know how high that is.


    Link this time is still observing the Spurs'' defense, their position is very chicken thieves, inside players are always able to help in the first place. But after Randolph''s slam dunk, does the Spurs still dare to cooperate?


    It''s great to put your opponent in a dilemma.


    Conley made a few gestures outside the three-point line, and the others immediately began to run. Randolph did not continue to fight Duncan in the low position, but went to the mid elbow area to receive the basketball.


    "Randolph mentioned mid range. Is he trying to break through Duncan?"


    No, as soon as Randolph got the ball from the middle distance, link immediately cut to the low position and asked for the ball from his back!


    Without hesitation, Randolph gently hoisted the ball into the penalty area. Link hit Richard Jefferson with his back!


    "It''s... A low post that opens up space for the outside... Duncan doesn''t know who he''s going to defend, and if he''s holding link, Randolph''s mid range will definitely punish the Spurs. But if you let it go, Richard doesn''t know if he can withstand the impact of link! "


    Cole knew that Duncan was in a dilemma. Indeed, the reticent No. 21 is one of the greatest players in NBA history. But even the greatest players have moments of uncertainty.


    Link can now safely single Richard Jefferson in the low post, Jefferson one hand on link''s waist, do not let him force. But link doesn''t care. His low post singles don''t rely on brute force.


    Link began to dribble on his back, and Richard Jefferson''s heart was beating like a basketball. Seeing that the distance was almost over, link suddenly shook his shoulder to the right!


    Richard Jefferson immediately changed the center of gravity, although Richard Jefferson is not a low post defense expert, but experience made him make the fastest response. Experience and arm extension, these are the two things Richard Jefferson relies on most in defense.


    Unfortunately, neither of these things is a threat to link.


    Just now, link''s shoulder swing to the right is just a fake action. After feeling Richard Jefferson''s shaking behind him, link immediately turned left and turned over to jump shot!


    Link also used a lot of jump shots before. After all, Grant Hill''s offensive footwork was superb at this time.


    But this time, link specially sits in the low position to play, still lets the people some surprise. The most important thing is that the guy''s movements are so similar to Kobe''s...


    although there is still a gap between him and Kobe, he has some charm. Link is quick to learn because Grant Hill has a good foundation. At the beginning, James, McKee and other people went to learn big dream footwork, but they could not learn it well because their low position footwork was poor.


    It''s hard to change from 0 to 1, but from 1 to 2, from 2 to 3, it''s very fast.Richard Jefferson was completely fooled by link and could only watch the basketball jump into the net.


    11-12, the Grizzlies have scored in a row since Lionel Hollins suspended. Most importantly, both scores have something to do with link.


    Popovich frowned as he watched the drop draft with Kobe''s back attack. Such an excellent guy, why didn''t even the Spurs have any news at the beginning.


    So, no matter how developed the NBA''s scouting network, there will always be surprises.


    Link revived the Grizzlies'' attack, but the Spurs would not be so easily defeated. After that, the two sides fought back and forth. This is back and forth. It means defense.


    Both teams have done their best in defense, and Ginobili can''t get rid of Tony Allen, who is hard-working to prevent him. And link''s side, the Spurs defense is not likely to fail again and again. On several occasions, he was beaten back and forth by Duncan and Richard Jefferson.


    But in general, link to the Spurs brought trouble, far more than Popovich expected. Popovich has attached great importance to link''s, but link still showed excellent performance.


    At the end of the first quarter, the score was 21-20, with the Grizzlies one point ahead of the Spurs. Link single section 6 points 2 assists, is the Grizzlies attack efficiency is the highest. Ginobili scored nine points in 4 of 9 on the Spurs side, but the others, including Duncan and Parker, had a hard time attacking.


    The game is neutral, the fans are sleepy, endless iron and slow rhythm of attack and defense, so that the game has no ornamental.


    But for the fans of the two teams, they are very interested in it. For them, defense is also a kind of enjoyment.


    Popovich looked at the big screen, the West first hit the Western eighth, 12 minutes later, he was still 1 point behind... To be honest, Popovich is a little dissatisfied with the team''s performance.


    In the first quarter, the Spurs did a good job in defense, except that the kid link got 6 points, there was no big problem. Now Popovich mainly wants to solve the offensive problem, Duncan is not very good today, 82 games in the regular season, even if Duncan is such a stable player, it will happen occasionally.


    The same thing happened to Parker, which had something to do with the Grizzlies'' tough defense.


    Popovich looked at his bench, George Hill, Gary Neal and others, who could only suffer the same treatment as Parker. So the old man dropped his eyes on the red haired guy.


    "Matt, you play in the second quarter, you know what to do!" Popovich''s calling for a big white man. He''s going to increase his attack points!


    "Red Mamba" Matt Bonner raised his head and stood up excitedly. He''s happy to have work to do!
