This is a bad situation for Coach Hollins.

Coach Hollins clearly judged the improvement of the opponent's rotation lineup. Dior played better than last season. He can almost be said to be the core of tacticality. Ginobili's condition is surprising! It's no longer the same as last season.

He only performs well in a phased time in a game, and he will not be able to get a regular time. Unlike last season, he is not a super god or a super ghost, but can play a stable first-class level without breaking out.

Coach Hollins knew that this situation was the case because of Gasol Jr.'s weight problem and Larry Sanders was suspended, and their defensive problems may not be that serious.

But facing opponents like the Spurs is really so serious, and their goal is not to deal with ordinary teams, and the ones they regard as opponents are teams like the Spurs.

And the Spurs seem to have become stronger than last season!

After the players returned to the bench, Coach Hollins withdrew from the state of contemplation and began to substitution.

Sun Ce played harder and harder in the first quarter. He threw 10 times in a single quarter, throwing his shooting percentage of 3 of 5 shots in the first half of the quarter to 5 shots in 10, and scored 13 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.

Seeing Sun Ce as hard as he fought, Coach Hollins knew that he didn't have to worry about Sun Ce's physical strength and motivation, so he replaced Livingston, Paul George, Prince, Gasol Jr. and Sun Ce together played together.

...

After the timeout, the Spurs came back, George Hill, Bellinelli, Guy, Dior, and Aaron Baynes played.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Grizzlies attacked first.

Livingston and Paul George, Gasol Jr. came up, Sun Ce's role on the offensive end immediately changed, and he began to use cutting and counter-run to find opportunities. The Grizzlies used Paul George as the offensive arrow, Livingston and Gasol Jr.

As the core of tactical affairs, Prince can restrain himself if he can restrain his sidelines, and if he can't restrain his catch and shoot, he will be right. Compared with Bathir, Prince still has the ability to cut.

When rotating the lineup, the Grizzlies played well in the first lineup, and this lineup also played well in the offense!

The TV commentators are all marveling at the Grizzlies' rotation tactics this year.

In fact, it can be seen from the preseason that in order to deal with the offensive problem of Nash's departure from the rotation lineup, the Grizzlies coaching staff tried many tactical choices.

Although the coaching staff has no ability to adapt to offensive end, the tactical construction is still fine, and the players are excellent and have strong tactical execution.

During the preseason, the Grizzlies did not sign training camp players. They just tried various tactics without being disturbed. They decided on several lineup matches and formulated preliminary tactics for these lineup matches. Tonight

It was used in a formal competition for the first time and the results were good.

This gave the Grizzlies a good start to prepare for targeted tactical preparations for each opponent after the start of the new season.

But the defense is really unpredictable. Guy repeatedly used the inside pick-and-roll and attracted defensive attention. George Hill and Dior took the opportunity to pass the ball, Belinelli shot accurately, and the Spurs passed and cut and cooperated well...

The second quarter reached the 4th minute and 11th second. George Hill made a three-pointer with a fake fax. The Spurs widened the score to 46-37, leading the Grizzlies by 9 points. The Grizzlies called a timeout in advance!

In more than 4 minutes, due to rhythm problems, the Grizzlies made 6 shots and scored 9 points on 3 of 6 shots, which was not bad.

But the Spurs made 5 of 7 shots and scored 14 points... I can't play anymore!

In the view of coach Hollins, even if the Spurs can be as strong as in the past two years this season, the strength has been steadily improved due to the progress of young players such as Guy, George Hill, Danny Green, Mills, etc.

But no one else can decide the game except Guy.

But it’s okay for these people to make progress, but Ginobili and Dior actually improved!

It would be fine if Ginobili's condition rebounded, but Dior looked weak. He might not be able to play in a team for a long time before he could not see him appear, but he was weird and powerful in the Spurs.

Moreover, the Spurs are not as unpredictable as last season. If the score difference cannot be widened, they will show a hint of impatientness and be so steady!

If it was last season, the Grizzlies would have disagreed with defense, but now the conditions do not allow it.

Coach Hollins made a decision when he called for a timeout. After the players returned to the bench, they immediately made arrangements: "Noah, Clay, Paul, Richard, Otspez, you go up and play the offense,

Chase the score!"

He directly sent the team to the most runner-up and shooter lineup!

Coach Hollins emphasized running coordination, area attacks, and three-pointers. Although this lineup is not good at defending the inside, it is at least fast enough to not drag the three major outside legs. The key is to have strong offense!

The timeout is about to end. Sun Ce looks at the combination of Parker, Danny Green, Guy, Duncan, and Kwame Brown on the opposite side.

Popovich has done a better job of Duncan's physical strength distribution, and Sun Ce feels that it is not enough to just replace the offensive lineup.

Once this idea of ​​causing trouble comes out, it can't be stopped.

"Uncle Learning Machine, use the demon sword to unsheath!"

"Host use skill: Demon Sword is unsheathed, random effects are being drawn..."

“11111…”

Sun Ce roared in his heart, and after 3 seconds, the system prompted him.

"Congratulations to the host for opening the skill: Demon Sword Unsheathing Effect 3..."

"Hold the sun!"

...

After the timeout, looking at the Grizzlies' lineup, the Spurs actually have a lot of pressure.

There is Sun Ce opposite!

However, after the game continued, Sun Ce came up and tried a three-pointer and almost failed. After a fast break counterattack and hit the basket on his neck, he seemed to dare not make a shot.

It was obvious that the Spurs did not care whether they scored or not, and the Grizzlies did not care about counterattacking, but Sun Ce had the opportunity to crush Danny Green or Parker, but he chose to pass the ball.

This made the Spurs more relaxed in defense, and played a 6-3 wave before the official timeout in the second quarter.

Except for Paul George, Yi Jianlian's all-in-one contact caused Duncan to make a 2+1 foul, the Grizzlies did not score any other points, while the Spurs made 2 of 4 shots and made two free throws, leading the Grizzlies 12 52-40

Enter the official suspension!

Sun Ce, who scored 15 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal in the first 16 minutes, suddenly got cheated!

Although I don’t know why, coach Hollins replaced Sun Ce slowly first. After the official timeout, he sent Livingston, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Richard Jefferson and Yi Jianlian to form a combination.

Still have to continue attacking.

The strategy is correct. Although Duncan and Kwame Brown came on the field and their defense was strengthened, the Grizzlies leaned against Paul George and Klay Thompson to score two three-pointers in the last moment of the first half.
Chapter completed!
