In this game, the starting lineup of the Grizzlies at home is: center - Marc Gasol, power forward - Zach Randolph, small forward - Charlene Prince, shooting guard - Xie Kai, point guard -- Mike Conley.
The Grizzlies' starting lineup has never changed, win or lose.Experts have suggested before that no team has really changed the team so far, so no one knows how much potential they have, and the unknown is the most terrifying.
The starting lineup of the Spurs in the away game is: center-Tiago Splitter, power forward-Tim Duncan, small forward-Kawhi Leonard, shooting guard-Danny Green, point guard -- Tony Parker.
The Spurs' starting lineup is also very stable. They still put the demon knife in the second team. The starting lineup puts Leonard and Danny Green, two young men with better defenses, on top.
This season's Spurs are among the top 5 in the league, both offensively and defensively. They have an excellent record. If it weren't for the excellent record of the Grizzlies, they would become the first in the league.
So to be precise, this is a series between the top two teams in the league. Some people joked that this is "the finals that started early."
The Grizzlies don't dare to underestimate the Spurs. Although the GDP is old, the old thief Bobo is well trained. The three are well maintained, and their condition is even better than last season.And apart from these 3 players, the youngsters of this team are gradually playing out, and the alternation between the old and the new is quite good.
The most important thing is that this is a team playing team basketball with a very mature offensive and defensive system. It is almost impossible to beat such a team without showing 100% strength.
Yu Jia, who was hosting in the CCTV studio, adjusted his glasses and said excitedly: "Mr. Xu, the Western Conference finals are the first to start. These are the two teams with the top two records in the league this season. The two teams have played in the past three seasons. They met in the playoffs, this is the 3th consecutive season they have met in the playoffs, this is definitely a set of sparks hitting the earth!"
Xu Jicheng said: "It is true. The Spurs have the best integrity in the league, and the Grizzlies have the strongest inside. The meeting between these two teams is what fans have been looking forward to for a long time."
Yu Jia said with a smile: "The former NBA superstar Charles Barkley who is currently on TNT thinks that Xie Kai did not meet a real opponent in the first two rounds of the playoffs. The Spurs will not let him perform well. What do you think?"
Xu Jicheng said with a smile: "There is some truth to this statement. It is true that in terms of the player's personal strength, the Spurs' ability to play in the swingman position is better, but it is also somewhat absolute to conclude that Xie Kai cannot perform. The two teams met last year, and everyone has seen Xie Kai's performance."
The game has not yet started, and the fans are already cheering. This is the Western Conference Finals, and the Grizzlies fans are looking forward to adding a banner of the Western Conference Championship to the sky above this arena.
The fans of the Grizzlies have confidence, because the opponent is the loser in the Western Conference semifinals last season.There was no home court advantage last season, so it was still easy to kill, and this season has home court advantage, wouldn't the result be easier?
The main players of both sides are ready to play, and the game is about to start.There was no communication between the main players of the two teams. On the Spurs' side, Dazed, Facial Paralyzed, Danny Green and others were not talkative, while the Grizzlies' side seemed a little serious. This is a battle, isn't it? Class reunion.
Splitter and the White Bears prepare for the jump ball near the middle circle, and the game is about to start.
The screams in the stands continued. The Spurs are definitely stronger than the Clippers and more annoying to the fans of the home team.You must know that in the Western Conference semifinals of the 2011-12 season, the home team was swept by the opponent... At that time, the fans were pouring their hopes of winning the championship, but they were swept away, so Gay and the Spurs became fans. object.
It wasn't until winning the championship last season that this anger eased a little.As for disappearing all at once, it is unlikely.
At the start of the jump ball, the White Bears lost to Split, and the Spurs won the first wave of offensive possession.
TP9 dribbles over.
The fighting on both sides was not running and bombing, but mainly positions.The Spurs' positional warfare is now more and more inclined to off-ball screens, passes and cuts, and people move the ball.
This is typical team basketball, but ordinary teams can't play it because they don't have such good execution.
In Xie Kai’s view, the strongest team will always be a superstar + team basketball, superstar basketball is a superstar, there is a risk of injury, the participation rate of role players is low, it is suitable for the playoffs, but the regular season record is somewhat difficult to guarantee; Complete team basketball is suitable for playing in the regular season, but it is not good for the bayonet in the playoffs.
The Spurs are not without superstars. At critical moments, GDP has the ability to attack one-on-one, which should not be underestimated.
The Spurs passed Parker and the dull pick-and-roll to Danny Green, who came out of the bag, and shot a 3-point shot-directly!
They immediately led 3:0 at the start!
Yu Jia sighed: "Danny Green's shot is really decisive!"
Xu Jicheng nodded and said, "This ball is due to Splitter's off-ball screen for him, which delayed Xie Kai's pursuit very well."
Conley dribbles over and runs the offense at the top of the arc.
Defensively opened by Danny Green.
Entering the Spurs' three full seasons, Danny Green's 3-point shooting percentage has been above 3%.Combined with his elite perimeter defense, he has become one of the best 40-and-D players in the entire league.
Conley and the White Bears played a pick-and-roll, and the Spurs used a strategy of delay + squeeze over the screen.
Pick-and-roll defense has always been the highlight of every NBA team's defense. After less and less teams in the league use low-post backs as offensive starting moves, the pick-and-roll at positions 1-5 or 1-4 has become an increasingly More and more teams' offensive moves.
The Spurs defend the pick-and-roll more traditionally, with the big man delaying and the small man going around or over the screen (depending on the ballhandler's shooting ability).The advantage of this pick-and-roll defense method is that it will not allow opponents to easily play out of position, and it will not cause vacancies due to more defense and less defense.
Of course, this defensive method is a test of the cooperation and defensive awareness between players. Generally, teams with poor execution and poor defensive quality will not be effective when using it. It is better to directly switch defenses or pinch.
Switch defense is better for teams with strong swing ability, while flanking is better for teams with fast rotation.The Spurs often have two big men inside, and the players are old, so pinching the ball holder and switching defenses are not very suitable for them.
Conley couldn't find an offensive opportunity, so he took the ball to find Xie Kai.
Xie Kai is the key defensive object of the Spurs. Danny Green runs at all physical strength to prevent him from receiving the ball.
