Grizzlies still rely on tenacious defense to maintain the advantage to the end, 95-89, the score of both teams is not high, but the level of this game is not low at all.
At the end of the game, San Antonio fans hissed in disappointment. So far this season, they have lost only 10 games. This is the 11th.
Even the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers and the young Oklahoma Thunder have failed to win even one victory in the Spurs.
However, the Grizzlies did. They laugh to the end with a very stubborn attitude.
The Spurs are not so emotional, this team of players are experienced veteran. They have won countless honors, and correspondingly, they have experienced countless failures.
A regular season defeat is nothing for them.
However, Popovich is a little concerned. He has been in charge of NBA for decades, and he has been used to winning and losing. But today''s game lost, but completely out of his control.
The No. 0 Chinese American has broken his tactics and plans again and again. Seriously, if the Grizzlies don''t have link, Popovich will guarantee that the game will be won. Even if Parker and Duncan are out of shape today, he has the confidence.
However, the NBA world is not if, Popovich after the game are self mocking smile, his thousand victory coach, was actually defeated by the draft. This may also be a rare experience in his coaching career.
He is worried that if the Grizzlies and the Spurs keep their current ranking, they will probably meet in the playoffs. As the first in the west, the Spurs don''t want to meet such a strong opponent in the first round.
First in the west, the Spurs must want to keep it. Now Popovich has to pray that the Grizzlies will soon surpass the Hornets and rise to a higher rank.
In the old man''s thinking, reporters have gathered around. Every game with the Spurs, Popovich is always the most popular person. After all, the old man runs the train with his mouth full, even many young people feel ashamed.
"It''s a sad defeat, pop. The Spurs are close to winning A t.nt reporter put the microphone in front of Popovich''s mouth, and the reporters looked at him expectantly, wondering what response Popovich would make next.
"Is it not a pity to lose another one?" Popovich didn''t let everyone down. His rhetorical question made all the reporters around him laugh.
"Tim and Parker didn''t perform very well today. Are they tired? When are you going to take turns this season
"Yeah, Tim and Parker are in a bit of a bad state. But what can I do? The deadline is over, I can''t trade those two bastards. As for the rotating rest, the League explicitly forbids it for no reason, so I never know about this kind of thing, and I don''t know what you are talking about
"Poof!"
Reporters can''t help but laugh. Popovich may become a very successful talk show actor if he is not the head coach.
"The last question, pop. Link''s performance today was excellent. He had 24 points and 10 assists in double doubles, the third time in his career to get triple doubles. Do you think he''s the Spurs'' biggest problem today
The playful look on Popovich''s face disappeared instantly after hearing this question. He raised his head slightly and looked at link, who was also interviewed by a reporter. I can''t help thinking that there may be another monster in the West. This summer, it''s better to have the Eastern team sign him.
"Link is a very good player, he is worthy of the rookie MVP. To be honest, my tactics today were a mess because of him. If I play the Grizzlies in the future, I''ll put link on the list of top dangerous targets
The reporters thought Popovich would continue to tease link and joke. Little did not know, this old Marshal actually gave link extremely high affirmation.
Popovich is a joker, but as journalists know, he never likes to boast. The old man has seen so many great players, from David Robinson to Tim Duncan, from number one to the drop of the draft, Popovich has seen everyone.
So, unless it''s a really good player, Popovich won''t be able to speak up.
Popovich said that, then went straight back to the players channel. Today, let''s give the stage to that Chinese American rookie.
After the competition, link was in a good mood. When he was able to beat the Spurs, he immediately relaxed.
What''s more, the main reason why the link Grizzlies can beat the Spurs today.
Today''s game, Randolph and Gasol''s performance can be called the scene of the accident. Randolph shot 26.7%, and his only contribution was to defend Duncan with only 8 points.
Pau Gasol had a 14.3% shooting rate, and the Spaniard had more points and assists today.Other people, the percentage of hits is very average. Battier''s shooting rate is only 33%, Mayo''s shooting rate is "as high as" 0%.
The whole Grizzlies, only link and Conley''s shooting percentage can be seen.
Although Conley hit the key three points today, the 22 point data is not bad. But as a point guard, Conley had only one assist today. At this point, link''s role is reflected.
Link can be said to be a series of grizzly''s most attacks, and also swing back and forth between positions 3, 4 and 2. Basically, where he needs to be, he will go to fill the position.
Most importantly, I did well in all three positions. Position three, he blew Richard Jefferson on the offensive end. In position two and four, he was also very successful in defending Bonner and Ginobili.
Thinking about how much he has experienced today and how much the Spurs have suffered, link is full of a sense of accomplishment.
It was not until Randolph sat down next to link with a cheeky look that he broke away from the joy of victory.
"Lynk, it''s a great night!"
"Er..." looking at Randolph''s expression, link knew there was nothing good, "say it, and then?"
"And then, what else then? I''m here to sincerely congratulate you! Of course, if you would like to invite us to your home to celebrate, we will certainly not refuse
"Shit!" Link in the heart secretly despise, Randolph this goods never do to his own bad things.
"But tomorrow we''ll have to fight the king back to back, Zach."
"It doesn''t matter. We can wait until the back-to-back is over and celebrate slowly." He patted link on the shoulder, and before link agreed, Randolph made it a deal.
Link is speechless. Randolph is thinking about how to pit himself every minute! However, link was in a good mood to win the key victory he had in mind.
It''s just a treat. It''s no big deal.
The day after beating the Spurs, the Grizzlies returned to Memphis early in the morning. Tonight, they will also play back-to-back with the king at home.
Although it is a back-to-back game, the strength of the king''s team is not strong, and the players do not have too much psychological burden.
The attendance rate of the game in the evening is not high. After all, it is not a focus battle. The only impressive scene is that before the game starts, koshins actually took the initiative to hug link...
as we all know, the cooperation of link and cousins in the all star game has made them completely change from enemies to friends. Now, except for John Wall in the league, cousins is only friendly to link.
Although friendly before the game, but in the game, neither of them will let the other.
The kings were suppressed throughout the game, and koshins was only 4-for-11. He was really annoyed by the black and white bears, so he lost his temper to the referee in a blow and applied for a technical foul for himself.
Looking at such a hot tempered big man, he was so friendly to himself before the game. Link felt that he admired his affinity.
There''s nothing to say about this game. The gap between the two sides is too big. The kings played in a showy game, and the smashing clasps of cousins and Marcus Thornton made the game seem fierce.
However, the operation of a fierce tiger, the results of a look at the score, king are 25 behind.
"Since guy''s injury and Mayo''s playing time is getting shorter and shorter, the Grizzlies have shown little enthusiasm. There is no such as rain three points, no flying buckle all over the sky. They are just patiently fighting positional warfare and doing a good job of positional attack. But this kind of dull play, but let them win one game after another
"Yeah, sharpening and strangling, that''s the Grizzlies'' game style and label. This is an old style of competition, but the old one is not necessarily impractical. Look, the Grizzlies may have another big win today
Hubie brin used gritand grind to describe the grizzly bear, and when he said those two words, his tone was very proud.
Brown may not know that the two words he said casually will soon become the label of a whole era belonging to the Grizzlies.
