best shooting guard

Chapter 727
The third game between the Spurs and the Grizzlies officially started at the FedEx Center in Memphis!
The Grizzlies' starting lineup remains unchanged, with the duo plus Prince, Tony Allen and Conley.

This extremely defensive lineup seems to be the favorite of the Grizzlies, especially in the first game, this lineup can be described as amazing, the defensive effect is simply against the sky, and it suppressed the Spurs abruptly .

Of course, let's not talk about the more tragic second scene, because it would be embarrassing to talk about it.

The Spurs' starting lineup has changed. Diaw, who started for Duncan for two consecutive games, returned to the bench. In his words, this is his most comfortable position.

So Duncan and Whiteside played together on the inside, and Qin Yan and Leonard on the outside. He didn't start his bench career until 18 years), the starting point guard is McGrady.

In this way, Popovich's intention is obvious, that is, to play a wrong position.McGrady's height and weight can bully Conley to death. If the Grizzlies don't switch defenses, then McGrady can bully Conley as much as he wants.

However, if the Grizzlies change, there must be one more person in the Spurs who is also in a vacant or misplaced state. Haha, in this case, as long as McGrady does not make a mistake in passing the ball, the Grizzlies will be unlucky.When the Grizzlies saw Tracy McGrady, they knew what the Spurs wanted to do. Although they were helpless, they had no choice.

Gasol Jr. and Whiteside went to the middle circle to prepare for the jump ball.After the referee blew the whistle, Gasol didn't take off at all, and retreated directly to his own half behind him.

"Forehead……"

His move made the jumping Whiteside a little speechless, and almost made a mistake. This is the first time Whiteside has encountered such a cheating situation since he participated in the jump ball.

Fortunately, he managed to get the ball into Duncan's hands.

Duncan handed McGrady a hand, and the Spurs began to launch the first wave of offense!
Because the Grizzlies are very strong inside, the Spurs' tactics at the beginning today are to attack from the outside.

Whiteside came out to set a screen, and his speed is the best screener inside the Spurs.

In fact, McGrady doesn't need to cover, because Conley is really short, but after Whiteside came out, it was more convenient for McGrady to attack.

Gasol didn't come out to make up for it. He knew that with McGrady's speed, even if he threw it out, he might not be able to block it.

However, if he stays inside, he might be able to block McGrady's breakthrough.

McGrady broke through from Whiteside, and Whiteside went down quickly on the other side!
Little Gasol still guarded the inside and couldn't come out. He knew that when he came out, McGrady must pass an alley-oop.

not come out?No one guards against me?OK, then I vote myself.

McGrady saw that Gasol really didn't plan to come out, he didn't care about anything else, and jumped up decisively to shoot.

With an emergency stop jump shot, McGrady's shooting percentage is still very good when no one is defending.

"Shua—" Hollow into the net, McGrady feels good at the start of the day.

The Grizzlies push to counterattack, their counterattack is not fast, and they like to play positional warfare, so they can basically finish 24 seconds every time.

Conley controlled the ball. With the interference of McGrady's long arms, it was difficult for him to organize an effective offense. Therefore, after halftime, Conley gave Prince the right to organize the offense.

But he forgot that Prince's organization is not good, and when Prince is Leonard, the Spurs' best perimeter defender, the ball is basically useless in Prince's hands.

Fortunately, Prince gave the ball to Gasol Jr. before being crippled. Gasol Jr.'s support ball was still okay, but Tony Allen faced Qin Yan and didn't make a shot.

"Quick attack!"

The Spurs only need the trident of Qin Yan, Leonard and Whiteside on the field. Once the opponent fails to attack, they will immediately counterattack at high speed, especially Qin Yan. He rushed at full speed and there was no one in the Grizzlies. If he could catch up, they all followed him to eat ashes, and then watched him succeed with one-handed violence.

"Pretty!"

Duncan gave Qin Yan a thumbs up from far away. Duncan will not participate in this kind of high-speed fast attack, because he really can't keep up now.

The Grizzlies attacked again, probably because the Spurs had a brand-new equipment today, which always made people feel that they were very powerful. The Grizzlies clearly had an inside chance this time, and Randolph even shook Duncan away, making a layup that was close at hand But he didn't score, and was grabbed by Whiteside!

Then, needless to say, Whiteside made a long pass to Qin Yan. After Qin Yan rushed to the paint area, he lightly lifted the ball into the sky. Leonard, who followed up, grabbed the ball with both hands in the air and dunked it!

"Nice pass!"

The two high-fived while retreating, and the opening fast break cooperated very well.

But the next Grizzlies finally scored. After Conley broke through the fake move, he caught the screen and went beyond the three-point line, and it was a three-pointer when he pulled it up!

McGrady couldn't get close to Conley because of Randolph's cover, and could only watch him make a three-pointer.

In the Spurs' round, this time the Spurs fell, McGrady gave the ball to Duncan!

Duncan held the ball with his back and Randolph defended him. Duncan tried his best to lean back his upper half so that he could better press Randolph with his body.

Randolph's defense against Duncan can only rely on a hard top. After all, the height difference is a bit too much. Once Duncan can't stand up, as long as Duncan turns to face the frame, it must be a standard hit or hook.

Duncan pushed hard twice, but he didn't move. Randolph, a big fat man, is indeed heavy enough.

However, Duncan's coping ability is also very good, it doesn't matter if he doesn't push, he has already seen from the corner of his eye, Qin Yan suddenly pushed Tony Allen away, and was running towards the bottom line.

"That's it."

Duncan lifted the ball over his head, and then lightly hooked it. Qin Yan, who came from the baseline, took off suddenly and was ready to dunk!

Hey, wait, it seems that this distance is a bit far...

After jumping up, Qin Yan felt that the distance seemed a little far in the air. He had already stretched his arms, but no matter how he looked at them, he felt that he couldn't buckle them.

This time humiliating.

If Qin Yan dunked the ball, it would be really funny. Not to mention wasting Duncan's imaginative ball, just the fact that he has been the dunk king for two consecutive years and dunked the ball is enough to embarrass him.

Reasonably, Qin Yan had an idea, turned his wrist suddenly, changed from catching the ball to throwing the ball, and then flicked lightly, the basketball drew a small arc in the air and went straight into the basket!
A temporary dunk in the air becomes a layup!
beautiful!

This ball is similar to the ball used by Gang Leader Qiao back then. Of course, Qin Yan came up with this trick to avoid making jokes.

But fortunately, everyone seemed to have no reason to see it. They all thought that Qin Yan was playing tricks on purpose, so as soon as he landed, a bunch of people came to pat his back and buttocks to express their encouragement.

Qin Yan is also thick-skinned, accepting everyone's compliments cheerfully, not at all seeing that he almost made a mistake just now.

The Spurs' opening shots in Game [-] were quite ferocious. Judging from their momentum, they already overwhelmed the Grizzlies...
