Basketball K God

Chapter 471
The Grizzlies fans in the stands were very excited. They wanted to see their star star show amazing energy and save the team from the fire.

The Spurs are attacking here, and the Grizzlies' defense is extremely aggressive. The 21-year-old rookie Leonard made a mistake in receiving the ball!
Conley steals the ball and counterattacks, Xie Kai receives the ball in the frontcourt and sprints forcibly, causing Danny Green's defensive foul!

Thank you for standing at the free throw line!
"MVP!" screamed a fan in the stands wearing Xie Kai's No. 23 jersey.

Xie Kai made two free throws steadily, and the Grizzlies started with a 4:0 attack wave!

"Kane's desire to attack is very strong!" Marv Albert laughed.

Jeff Van Gundy said: "If the Memphis Grizzlies lose again in this game, this round of the series will really lose its suspense!"

Zhou Jing clenched her fists tightly, feeling no less nervous than before.

Unlike Zhou Jing, Chen Guixiang, like other Grizzlies fans, waved the KT board with Xie Kai's face on it to cheer for her son.

The atmosphere at the scene was very active, the cheers were louder and louder, and the atmosphere at home was very good.

The Spurs attack.They have rich experience and did not panic because they were scored consecutively by the opponent in the away game.I saw Parker and Daidai cooperating in the high position. The former used the cover to make an emergency stop jumper and steadily scored 2 points!
The Grizzlies attacked, Conley came over with the ball and gave it to Xie Kai.

Xie Kai hit Danny Green again, and he took a cross step to seize his position and forcibly walked towards the basket.

Dadai came over to pinch, Xie Kai distributed the ball to the black bear.

Black Bear catches the ball, faces the rotating Dior, pushes the opponent away, and forces a layup under the basket-hit!
The Grizzlies lead 6:2 in the opening game!

The Grizzlies are in full swing, and the fans are enjoying themselves.In the previous two games in San Antonio, they were really overwhelmed by their opponents, and they almost doubted that they would not be able to play.

"Jeff, why do you think Kane Xie didn't pick and roll, but directly singled Danny Green with the ball?" Marv Albert asked.

Jeff Van Gundy said: "In the previous two games, the opponent's defensive strategy against him was once he cooperated with the big man inside the pick-and-roll, the opponent would flank him, and then let their big man shoot high."

"This is a gamble!" Groom Albert exclaimed.

"It was a bet, a bet on Mark's and Zach's high jumpers. Greg is a gambler. He's too gutsy. Both of them can shoot from the outside. But in fact he did win the bet. In San Antonio In the two games they played, neither of them shot more than 40 percent on high post jumpers!" Jeff Van Gundy explained.

Conley dribbled the ball and gave it to Guy!

Gay singles Leonard and hits a jumper!

The Grizzlies lead 8:2!

Finally, Popovich couldn't stand it anymore, and he asked Dazed on the field to request a timeout.

The cheers of the Grizzlies fans in the arena were louder and louder. If the team played this kind of momentum early, why worry about facing a 0:2 deficit!

"Jeff, do you think Greg will be replaced?" Marv Albert asked.

Jeff Van Gundy shook his head and said, "Probably not. The five players in the starting lineup played well, because the opponent is in great shape."

Back from the timeout, sure enough, as Van Gundy said, there was no substitution.

Neither side made substitutions!The game goes on!

Parker dribbles over and passes it to Diaw.

Grandpa Dior made a breakthrough, especially Danny Green from outside.

Danny Green also made a breakthrough, Leonard in the bottom corner!
Leonard shot a 3-pointer-hit!
8:5, the Spurs chased the point difference to 3 points in an instant!
"Rudy was a little dazed with this ball!" Jeff Van Gundy said.

Marv Albert nodded: "He thought Kawhi wouldn't make a shot. In the past few games, he still didn't invest enough in defense. He looked down on the rookie No. 2 Kawhi who was facing him. Yi."

Jeff Van Gundy said with a smile: "Many people in this league have this problem. Facing those young players who are not so famous, they will not be able to raise their enthusiasm for defense."

The Grizzlies attacked, and the Spurs suddenly changed their defense, defending the zone defense!

The Spurs' zone defense is somewhat similar to FIBA's "two-three zone defense", but because the NBA has a three-second defense, their center is not standing in the penalty area, but is active on the edge of the penalty area.

"Greg paused and used zone defense!" Marv Albert laughed.

Conley of the Grizzlies gave the ball to Xie Kai, and Xie Kai gave the ball to Xiao Jiasao, who mentioned the high position support.The two key figures in the offense and defense, one is a high position to support the inside line, and the other is a 3-point fort on the outside line.

The little sister-in-law was in a high position and no one cares, he hesitated for a moment, but still made a move—strike the iron!
The Spurs protected the rebound and then counterattacked!
On the Spurs side, Parker was blocked for a layup and the Grizzlies attacked.

The Spurs continued to defend the zone defense, this time Xie Kai missed a 3-pointer!
Looking back, the Spurs made a pass error...

There was a timeout on the sidelines!The Grizzlies shouted.

The enthusiasm of the fans in the stands has also dropped. To put it bluntly, the zone defense is to limit breakthroughs and singles, but they are afraid of long shots.The Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals last season used zone defense to make the Grizzlies suffer.

Pause back, the game continues.

The Grizzlies attacked here, Xie Kai made a strong breakthrough and scored Conley at the top of the arc.

Conley didn't stick the ball, and immediately gave the ball to Guy outside the 3-point line in the left corner!

Gay hesitated for a moment, wanted to shoot but wanted to rush, and the opponent's defense came up.He suddenly made a mistake...

The Spurs counterattacked, and Parker gave Leonard a layup.

The point difference was narrowed to 1 points!
Zhou Jing was a little relaxed just now, but gradually tightened up. She was afraid that Xie Kai would lose this game. She knew the NBA and what it meant to Xie Kai after losing this game.

The Grizzlies attack here, and the ball hits the Black Bears in the low post.

The black bear made a strong attack and fell into the siege of the opponent, but the strong one missed!
The White Bears grabbed the offensive rebound and scored it!

Conley points to Xie Kai!

Only Xie Kai here, it is Danny Green who has been pestering him!
Xie Kai made a breakthrough and made a big pass to Guy on the other side!

Big open!
Gay adjusted the ball and finally made a 3-point shot-had it?

No!

The iron was played quite crisply, and many fans at the scene heard it...

The Spurs protected the rebound!

"It's a pity that Rudy didn't seize these two opportunities!" Marv Albert sighed.

Jeff Van Gundy said: "One of the weaknesses of the zone defense is to defend against the opponent's 3-pointer. This ball seems to be all about Rudy. In fact, the opponent deliberately let him go."

"Intentionally let him go?" Groom Albert was a little surprised.

"You see, even if Zach attacked so fiercely inside, Danny didn't take a step away from Kane. With the ability of Memphis' starting players, there must be opportunities to attract flanking attacks, and it depends on where the opportunities come from." Jeff. Van Gundy explained.
