NBA: Start with a three-point experience card

Spurs VS Grizzlies, tiebreaker battle of life and death.

It's really a close fight
The Spurs and Grizzlies were deadlocked to the end of the third quarter, and the two sides were tied at 3.

Morant on the Grizzlies side is full of talent.

The Spurs, on the other hand, are the ultimate team basketball.

And now Mr. Bo has also realized it.

Not only is he the ultimate team basketball player, he also adds some talent to the ultimate team, which takes his team basketball to a new level.

In this way, the two sides continued until the last minute of the fourth quarter, and the battle became a 4:1 tie.

At this point the Grizzlies requested a timeout.

They must arrange the offensive tactics for the last minute.

On the Spurs' side, Popovich is also laying out the next play to the players when the timeout is called.

He told the players:
"Everyone has seen that the Grizzlies are playing Morant now. It is the last minute. Those players on the Grizzlies are too young. No one dared to shoot in the last minute, so we just Feel free to double-team Morant."

"We used a one-on-one defense against Morant the whole game, and now suddenly double-teaming him will make Morant very uncomfortable and make the Grizzlies hard to defend."

"Whether the ball is defended or not, I will not call a timeout. We will take out our secret weapon when we come back!"

All Spurs players looked at their center when they heard "secret weapon."

And when Wang Yi heard this, his heart moved, and the Spurs really had a trick hidden.

But at this time, Mr. Bo did not say what their secret weapon was.

Wang Yi can only wait and see.

After returning to the court, the Grizzlies turned the ball over to Morant.

Morant asked others to pull him away, intending to one-on-one, but the Spurs did not double-team Morant this entire game, and now they are suddenly double-teamed.

Morant was indeed a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that the duo had pushed him back to the center line, he could only pass the ball to the open small forward.

But as Mr. Bo said, the small forward is too young.

Although his three-point shooting percentage is 38%, it is not bad.

At any other time, he would have made this shot, but it was a tie-breaker.

Maybe this ball will decide whether the Grizzlies advance to the Western Conference finals or go home to fish.

So his psychological pressure can be imagined.

The Grizzlies small forward didn't even think about shooting when he got the ball.

There was only fear in his heart.

For fear that he would make a mistake or miss a shot, he wanted to pass the ball as quickly as possible.

The Spurs didn't have anyone to block him, and two people were still chasing Morant.

Morant kept running back, trying to get rid of it.

But how could he get rid of the double-team of two people by himself.

In the end, seeing that the time was almost up, the head coach on the sidelines kept shouting to the small forward:

"Put it, vote it!"

In panic, the small forward finally made a three-pointer.

There is no doubt that he missed this three-pointer.

At this point everyone thought the Spurs should request a timeout.

After all, this is likely to be the last offense in this round of the series, and they must be cautious.

However, what everyone did not expect was that the Spurs did not call a timeout, but after grabbing the rebound, their point guard dribbled the ball forward.

At this time, the Grizzlies were also a little stunned, obviously not thinking of it.

In a hurry, they quickly returned to the backcourt to defend.

At this time, Wang Yi was quite excited. While stuffing popcorn into his mouth, he stared at the Spurs players on the court.

Father Popovich also folded his arms at this time, staring closely at the Spurs players on the field.

Mr. Bo, who almost became a spy, never dreamed that there was a spy behind him, watching him and his players all the time.

At this time, after the Spurs dribbled the ball past half court, the Grizzlies center immediately went to the restricted area.

One to prevent the Spurs' defender from breaking into the penalty area;

The second is to prevent the Spurs' center from receiving the ball in the penalty area.

You know, the Spurs have a strong lethality whether their guards break into the penalty area or their center is in the penalty area.

However, at this moment, everyone did not expect that the Spurs center did not go to the penalty area, but directly received the ball at the top of the three-point arc.

The Grizzlies' center didn't take it seriously.

Because in the regular season, the Spurs' center does not have the ability to make three-pointers or long-range shots.

So he didn't go up to defend the Spurs center.

As a result, after receiving the ball, the Spurs center saw that there was no defense, and directly took it half a step inside the three-point line and shot.

In this way, all the Grizzlies coaches did not expect, and all the Grizzlies players were even more confused.

Just watched helplessly as the Spurs center hit a two-pointer.

The Spurs lead by two points.

Only 30 seconds left.

After the Grizzlies called another timeout, it was their Morant who started the offense.

And the Spurs are still using the same defensive strategy as before, with two people going to double-team Morant and one emptying their small forward.

As a result, after Morant was double-teamed, he passed the ball to the small forward again.

However, this time at a more critical moment, the small forward is naturally more unlikely to shoot, and finally the ball is passed back to Morant.

Morant has been forced to a distance close to the center line. After he took the ball, he saw the double team coming up. The attack time was coming again, so he could only make a hasty shot.

In the end the ball missed.

Their center grabbed the rebound.

But after handing it over to Morant, Morant finally made a three-pointer at the buzzer.

Amid the regretful cries of the audience, this three-pointer shot out of the basket.

In the end, the Spurs won the game by two points and won the series, defeating the Grizzlies 4:3 and meeting the Kings in the Western Conference finals.

People watching this game were thrilled. After the game, many people were amazed at the Spurs' lineup, and they were amazed at Popovich's wisdom.

Yet no one saw the Spurs use their secret weapon.

And their so-called secret weapon is that their center mentions the line to catch the ball.

Their center mentioned going up to catch the ball, and it was only this time in the audience.

Even this is the only one in the entire series.

So in the eyes of all the pundits, all the players, all the coaches, it was just an accident, and no one saw it as a Spurs weapon.

Even the Kings players who came here with Wang Yi to spy on the military situation did not take this as a weapon of the Spurs.

Only Wang Yi, but he attached great importance to that center.
