When the Trail Blazers turned the series score into 3-0, on the other side, the Spurs also scored a match point over the Grizzlies with a 3-0 total score.

Most people were very surprised by this result.

After all, it was almost the same Grizzlies who had just created a black eight miracle against the Spurs the year before last.

The tragic defeat was one of the stains on the career of the old thief Vicky.

Although the Spurs have continued to improve over the years, the Grizzlies are also stronger than they were then.

Most fans believe that even if the Grizzlies cannot make the following mistake again, they will never make it easy for the Spurs.

It’s not surprising that the two sides even reached the tiebreaker.

However, the Peak Spurs refused to interact too much with the rest.

3-0, clean. The next game is in Memphis. The Spurs only need to win one more game to advance smoothly.

Speaking of which, if the Spurs advance successfully, they will become the first team in the Western Conference to advance to the second round this year.

In the past, this kind of thing was usually done by pioneers.

Wayne was not surprised by the Spurs' performance at their peak.

After all, in the 2013 playoffs in Wayne's previous life, the Spurs defeated the Grizzlies 4-0, and in two of the four games, the point difference was double digits.

It can be said that the grizzly bear was beaten throughout the whole process.

Now that Duncan has two reliable inside partners in Split and Diaw, he no longer has to worry about being beaten by the Bears.

Coupled with the rise of Parker and Leonard, the Grizzlies are even more difficult to resist.

Peak Spurs, so terrifying.

It's not easy to beat a team like the Grizzlies 4-0.

The next round of showdown with the Spurs is the real start of the playoffs for Wayne.

So before that, Wayne must warm up.

Although the Trail Blazers are about to advance to the second round, Wayne only played for one and a half quarters in this year's playoffs.

It's over before I can really feel what it's like to play in the playoffs.

Only afterwards did I blame myself for being too quick and unable to recover.

Wayne never expected that the saying "it's not scary to win, it's embarrassing to be missing someone" would one day happen to him.

So in the fourth game of this series, Wayne must fully experience the taste of the playoffs.

On the Spurs side, because their opponent is the Grizzlies. Even if they lose 4-0, they have experienced the test.

Entering the state will be faster than the Blazers.

Therefore, Wayne must enter the state immediately in order to perform in the second round.

Before the start of G4 against Mosaic, the fourth game between the Spurs and the Grizzlies started first.

Although already trailing 0-3, the Grizzlies still did not give up and tried their best to resist from the beginning.

In addition to continuing to maintain their standard on the defensive end, the sudden outburst of Grizzlies substitute guard Quincy Pondexter also gradually tilted the balance of victory in the Grizzlies' favor.

At the end of the half, the Grizzlies led the Spurs by 7 points.

At the time, many Memphis fans thought the series would return to San Antonio.

However, in the second half, the Spurs' true core Parker stood up.

Parker first took advantage of Duncan's fake screen and broke through. After entering the penalty area and encountering a defense, he used a beautiful turn to slide into the basket and successfully made a layup.

Parker's small spinning top layup may not seem to have that strong visual impact, but it is actually extremely practical and can be regarded as one of Parker's killer moves.

After a few years, almost no defenders would use this move.

Because in a few years, guards will basically be practicing step-back three-pointers, or studying the league rule books like crazy.

A few years later, everyone started to play the same way. No matter how tall or short a player was, he was still shooting three-pointers.

A fancy mid-range one-on-one? Sorry, that is considered the most efficient way to attack.

All mid-distance singles players had a miserable time.

This era where both humans and ghosts have signature skills will be gone forever.

After one round, Parker continued to play pick-and-roll with Duncan. This time he did not go straight to the basket, but made a pull-up jumper from mid-range.

The big white bear who changed defense was not deceived by Parker, and his whole body covered him tightly.

However, under the severe interference of the big white bear, Parker miraculously made an unsolvable mid-range shot despite the huge height gap.

"Superstar ball! Marc Gasol's defense was fine, but Parker still hit the ball.

Watch out, San Antonians are closing the gap!

The Grizzlies must contain Parker!"

Former Grizzlies Hall of Fame coach and current ABC commentator Hubie Brown reminded everyone that he felt something was not right.

However, it all happened anyway, Tony Parker completely dominated the second half of the game!

In this year's playoffs, many young players such as Curry and Holiday became popular.

But in fact, it was Parker who truly completed the complete upgrade.

It can be said that in the playoffs, he went from an ordinary star to a superstar level!

He constantly used his ability to mobilize the team's performance on the court, and he activated the pick-and-roll of Split and Duncan.

His pass activated Belinelli and Kawhi's three-pointers.

Not only that, he can also hit unsolvable jump shots, hit key three-pointers, create double-teams, and when being double-teamed, he can release the ball just right.

In positional offense, Parker no longer rushes to the basket without thinking and makes mistakes, but gives instructions calmly and calmly.

It can be said that 80% of the Spurs' positional offense this season has been led by Parker.

If you can't restrain Parker, you can't restrain the Spurs.

The Memphis Grizzlies met the Spurs No. 9, who was in the best shape.

Throughout the second half, Parker was invincible. At the beginning, he scored a lot of points with precise shooting and sharp breakthroughs, which made Conley look bad.

Later, when being double-teamed, he used steady distribution to assist his teammates to score easily.

The grizzly bear watched helplessly as the French sports car slowly approached from the rearview mirror, then kept pace with it, and finally overtook it.

When the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, the score was fixed at 93 to 86.

The San Antonio Spurs came from behind, reversed the game, cleanly defeated the Grizzlies with a total score of 4-0, and advanced to the Western Conference semifinals!

Parker scored 37 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, including 25 points in the second half, with an exaggerated shooting percentage of 71.4%!

As a point guard, he has a shooting percentage that only many centers can achieve, which is simply a miracle.

Of course, after the game, many people were still praising Kawhi's solid defense and praising Duncan's two consecutive blocks at critical moments.

The core presence of Parker is indeed not high enough.

However, Wayne will not ignore Parker's existence.

This game was a wake-up call for the Blazers.

Never underestimate Parker.

That unattractive French point guard became a superstar in the playoffs.

It can be said that in terms of playoff performance, Parker is second only to Curry and Paul among point guards in the 21st century.

Iverson?

The AI ​​should still classify him as a shooting guard.

In the next round against the Spurs, the Trail Blazers' defense will face a huge challenge.

If Parker is allowed to continue to play, the Grizzlies' fate today will soon happen again to the Trail Blazers.

Yeah, but if Teacher Tony is here, there shouldn't be any problem...

Wayne shook his head. Before the first round was over, his mind was filled with thoughts about the Spurs.

There is no way, the Spurs are really strong, you can't be cautious.

At the press conference after the game, the veteran was in high spirits.

He would grin from time to time, as if people didn't know he had dentures.

Okay, okay, I know you want to change your teeth again.

Because at this time it was already a certainty that the Trail Blazers would advance to the second round and meet the Spurs, so reporters also asked a lot of questions related to the Trail Blazers.

In this regard, the old thief showed extremely strong self-confidence.

"All I'm saying is, none of us can advance easily."

At first glance, this sentence sounds like a compliment to your opponent, but in fact it is also a compliment to yourself.
To be continued...
