Duncan scored 8 points in the second quarter and made 4-for-5 shots in the beginning. But instead of setting off a counterattack wave, the Spurs were forced to fall 7 points behind. Popovich is extremely desperate, link uses the team attack to drive the Spurs into a desperate situation.

Maybe link's score is not so explosive, and the number of assists is not so exaggerated. But it is an indisputable fact that he really reinvigorated the grizzly's attack.

However, the team attack should not be the Spurs' unique job...

after the pause, the Grizzlies took Randolph back, Popovich was heartbroken again, because it means that the Grizzlies' offensive firepower will become stronger than just now.

Sure enough, the game became more difficult for the Spurs. First of all, under Randolph's defense, Duncan's attack can't be as easy as it was just now. The concept of contraposition of an interior line of over 100 kg and a "meat mountain" of 120 kg are totally different concepts.

Second, the Grizzlies' offense has changed more. After Randolph came back, the Grizzlies had more attacking points. Randolph also changed the first quarter of the game to head iron and Duncan single strength, become more dependent on the team attack, which makes Randolph in the offensive end of the game like a fish in water.

Randolph's performance in the playoffs this year is really excellent, almost superstar level. He can cut, hook, jump shot... All kinds of scoring skills.

With the Grizzlies' fierce offensive, the Spurs were 13 points behind at most. At the end of the half-time, the Grizzlies came back to the dressing room 52-43 ahead.

"It's not always the Grizzlies' style to get 52 points in half-time. They usually rely on defense to win, but today the Grizzlies are playing well on the offensive end. Zach had 15 points and 6 rebounds in the half-time, which made the Spurs' interior defense miserable

"Yes, inside defense, that's the biggest weakness of the Spurs this year. Blair, Bonner and mcdeth couldn't hold up the Spurs' inside defense. Brazilian split is still too young, Popovich seems afraid to give him more time in the playoffs. This is not a matter of tactics, but a matter of staffing. I think the Spurs will have a tough time in this series

After watching the half-time game, both commentators were worried about the future of the Spurs. In the face of a close opponent, the Spurs may be able to rely on the coach's tactics or the players' personal play to defeat each other. But strictly speaking, the Spurs and Grizzlies are not evenly matched.

Yes, the Spurs are number one in the Western Conference, but their lineup is just controlled by the Grizzlies. The Spurs are the weakest in defense, and the Grizzlies are the strongest. Spurs attack the strongest outside, as a result, the Grizzlies' defense chain is beyond the reach of other teams. From position one to position three, the Grizzlies can defend.

Cole doesn't know what Popovich thinks. In his opinion, the crisis of the Spurs' series is more than just this match.

After the second half, the Spurs played a strong attack. Richard Jefferson finally found the handle and took the lead in three-point shooting to help the Spurs narrow the gap. Then, Duncan continued to make the inside line, Parker was in the defensive end to steal Conley. After a meal, the Spurs made a 10-0 start in the third quarter.

However, after 10-0, the Spurs are only 1 point ahead. I can't help it. The pit in front of me is too big.

After that, the Grizzlies eased up, Randolph began to win in the forbidden area, and Mayo, who came on the bench, had three points immediately. The Spurs quickly lost their lead and were held down until the fourth quarter.

During this period, the tired Duncan attack momentum began to weaken. Parker and Ginobili have to survive in the Grizzlies' tight perimeter defense. Until the end of the fourth quarter, "red Mamba" Bonner 41 seconds in a row of two three-point hits, which let the Spurs slow down.

Pau Gasol's pace is too slow, every time he faces Bonner, he will be stolen a few three points. So far, the score was 90-95, with 1 minute and 28 seconds left. If it wasn't for Bonner's two three points, the Grizzlies would still be 11 points ahead, which would give them full control.

But now, everything has changed. 1:28.5, this is a chance for the Spurs, who are eager to win!

Hollins immediately suspended the game, and the Spurs are always here. Although the whole game was suppressed in the scene, but at the end of the day, the Spurs were not much behind.

After all, it's still the first in the West!

"Well, guys, you've done well so far. You're still ahead in the last minute, 28 seconds, and I'm proud of you. But if you lose in the end, believe me, others will only give you shame! We just missed some opportunities and now I don't want to see anything like that happen again. In the last few rounds, each attack is about winning or losing. So, I need you to be patient and stop mistakes. Then, try to solve the attack in the space. "

Hollins finished and looked at link's data on the big screen. 23 points, 8 assists, two assists and two doubles. His organization and support today is the reason why Grizzlies attack and play very smoothly.

Say, rookie season can be in the playoffs a single game to cut two pairs of rookies, generally end up as superstars. For example, Karl Malone, for example, rose, for example, Duncan, now 35 years old, and so on. Originally, rookie season to enter the playoffs has been very difficult, even James and Durant have not done. What's more, I have to cut two doubles in the playoffs.It seems that there has never been such a person in the history of the Grizzlies...

just now the Grizzlies' attack was blocked. Hollins now hopes that the team can keep the offensive flow at the last minute. Otherwise, the Spurs will not be able to resist by defense alone.

To achieve this goal, Hollins needs to make good use of link's excellent offensive performance today. At the critical moment, it's up to the kid!

"Link, you'll play number two when you're on. Sean, you play number three, I need you to open space outside the three-point line and seize the opportunity Hollins replaced Tony Allen with Battier in order to stabilize the attack while keeping the defense as close as possible.

Link and Battier's defense is very good, although not as pure as Tony Allen, but against a fourth quarter physical exhaustion Ginobili will not have a problem.

"The last one and a half minutes, link, you'll take the attack. The Spurs will definitely strengthen their defense on the inside, so we can hit the ball outside, just like you did in the second quarter

The pause was short, and Hollins said nothing, and the game started again.

The Grizzlies' players stepped into the court, clapped hands and cheered each other. They believed that the Grizzlies' journey was not over.

Link is about to turn around to join the ranks of his teammates, but Hollins grabbed his shoulder.

"Coach?"

Hollins went up to link, helped him straighten his shirt, and patted him solemnly on the shoulder.

"The playoffs are the stage to create stars, link. Now, the stage is up to you. "

Link laughed. Of course he understood what Hollins meant.

For the last minute and a half, link needs to end it. He will prove that the first in the west is not invincible.

With the stage and the opportunity, the rest is up to you.
