The San Antonio Spurs have been chasing behind the Grizzlies this season. Whether it is the upstart Clippers in the first-tier Western Conference or the young and energetic Thunder, their record this season is not as good as the Spurs.

So far in the regular season, the Thunder's record is 25 wins and 9 losses, which is slightly inferior to the Spurs. The Clippers are even worse, and they have lost 13 games this season.

Therefore, the only one who can really bite the Grizzlies this year is the Spurs.

As a team with a core member, a team that hardly introduces big-name stars in the free agent market and transfer market. However, the Spurs are like ivy and will never wither.

However, the Grizzlies' record this season is really good. Popovich found that no matter how he chased, he just couldn't catch up.

31 wins and 2 losses, this is an exaggerated result beyond Popovich's expectations. However, when the Grizzlies had already won 70 wins last season, they were only 2 games away from that great distance, this situation is reasonable.

However, even though the Grizzlies scored 31 wins and 2 losses, and even if the entire league was in panic, Popovich was still not afraid. On the contrary, he was more eager to fight the Grizzlies than everyone else in the league!

Popovich's pride has been trampled on by the Grizzlies in recent years and has been eliminated by the Grizzlies for two consecutive years. Although he was not eliminated by the Grizzlies in the third year, Popovich could only watch the team he looked down upon holding the O'Brien Cup in his palm.

The Spurs became the biggest background board in the opening game of this season, allowing Link to score a beautiful triple-double in the first game of the new season.

Popovich remembers all this hatred in his mind. If you think he is just a kind and humorous old man, you are very wrong.

This guy has a strong sense of revenge. As a former soldier, his personality is stronger than his appearance.

So, in today's game, Popovich put his control over the team to the extreme. Just like the Clippers slaughtered at Staples two days ago, the Spurs also played extremely efficiently today.

Even if the Spurs' physical talent is not the worst in the league, it can definitely be considered at the bottom level of the league. If the game can only be played one or one, the Spurs will probably not be able to beat more than half of the teams in the league.

But the magic of the Spurs is that they can rely on seamless teamwork to cover up other shortcomings. The Spurs' offense is like an onion. It's not that their balls look eye-catching, but that the Spurs' offense is like an onion. If you peel a layer, there is another layer behind it. Layers make you unable to make arrangements. This is the characteristic of their offense.

The Spurs have always relied on such "onion-like" attacks to rampant leagues. Such a game style may make people drowsy because everyone cannot appreciate the stars' explosive performances.

Watching the Spurs' empty cuts, conduction, and searching for opportunities again and again is not unexciting, but it requires a certain threshold for appreciation. For many fans who just watch the fun, the Spurs' ball is a bit boring.

But the Spurs have been in the ranks of Western Conference strong teams for more than ten years with this "boring" system. If the Spurs can still gather a bunch of players who can play on this basis, they will instantly become strong contenders for the championship!

And Link knew that in the original history, the Spurs this season were just a championship-level team!

So when this game was going on, Hubby Brown's words fully reflected the terror of the Spurs, "The San Antonio Spurs played the ultimate team basketball in the Federal Express Arena!"

The ultimate team basketball is not a word that can be used casually. Does the Heat play team basketball? Of course, it is, but their offense is based on the individual basis of James and Wade.

Do the Grizzlies play team basketball? There is no doubt that too. But the Grizzlies' team basketball is not the ultimate, and they still rely on Link's personal abilities for a lot of moments.

Only teams like the Spurs are worthy of the ultimate title of team basketball.

There are too many routines for the Spurs. Apart from the alibi, almost all the tactical sets you can use on the basketball court can be seen in their games. Their positional offense emphasizes the word "move", which is less likely to fight long and short cuts, emphasizes opportunities, reduces strong attacks, and pays great attention to the fluency of the ball. Moreover, everyone has not many tasks, the key is the mutual cooperation and grasp of the timing in each link.

Today, the Spurs are pushing the Grizzlies into a desperate situation with the blessing of this ultimate team basketball!

In the whole game, the Spurs couldn't find the focus of the defense. The Grizzlies' defense has actually done a good job, but no matter how good the defense is, it is impossible to achieve perfection every time.

But for the Spurs, an imperfect defense is an opportunity!

The Spurs are always able to find scoring opportunities through smooth conduction and active running.

If Duncan is blocked? Then look for Ginobili! If Parker is blocked? Then look for Danny Green outside the three-point line!

Everyone should know when and where the teammates should be, and everyone knows where they should go after fighting this level of tactics and when they enter the next level of arrangement. Such tacit understanding and clear thinking cannot be practiced in a day or two.

The more complex the tactics are, the lower the execution success rate. The Spurs have achieved the success rate of complex tactics!

Fortunately, the Grizzlies' offense was also good. Conley was in a very hot state today, scoring more than Link. Link was mainly "specially taken care of" by Leonard and Duncan, and there were not many scoring opportunities. Conley thus withstood the scoring banner and led the Grizzlies and the Spurs to the end.

At the beginning, Link was full of confidence in the game. He thought he could win today as usual, without any danger.

But the game was played until the last 10 seconds, and the winner was not decided yet.

In the last 10 seconds, Conley's key goal allowed the Grizzlies to tie the score. Today, both sides' offensive efficiency was too high, and no one could defend against each other.

But in the last 10 seconds, the Grizzlies must successfully defend to ensure that they do not lose the game.

Popovich called a timeout in the last 10 seconds, and no one knew what the cunning old man was setting up. Jogel emphasized infinite defense change.

"No matter how they run or pick-and-roll, I will ask you to complete the defense change as soon as possible! Don't give the Spurs any chance to take it easy, we won't fail here!"

Jogel yelled, pointing to the floor of the Federal Express Arena.

The timeout was soon over, and in the last 10 seconds, all the fans cheered, hoping to put pressure on the Spurs.

However, the experienced Spurs have experienced countless such desperate moments. Any team in the league may be afraid of this situation, except for the Spurs.

In 10 seconds, the Spurs still implemented a not-so-simple tactic.

Ginobili roamed in a complex off-ball cover, Parker broke through and passed the ball, and finally gave the "Demon Sword" a chance to play a big shot.

Randolph was sweating profusely when facing Ginobili. It was not convenient for the rest of the Grizzlies to switch defenses, so they could only see if Randolph could hold on.

However, the slutty Ginobili would naturally not be fooled by Randolph. He used a beautiful breakthrough to break into the penalty area, and then threw the ball before Gasol came back to make up the defense!

As the moment the basketball entered the net, Link's heart seemed to be hit hard!

In the past, the grizzly bears were the ones who killed others. Today, the grizzly bears suffered a fatal blow at a critical moment!

"Ginobili's breakthrough is very beautiful, and his variations make Randolph at a loss! The ball was scored, and the San Antonio Spurs scored this key goal, and they almost won the game! Now, with only 4 seconds left before the end of the game, the Grizzlies were 2 points behind, and they still have a chance to complete the final blow! However, they may not be as lucky as the Spurs!"

Jogel immediately used the last timeout he left, and the last 4 seconds would determine whether the Grizzlies' unremitting pace would be stopped.
Chapter completed!
