NBA: Starting CBA system

The Spurs will spend a day today to "brainwash" all the players, oh no, to understand and study the team that eliminated them last year, especially the newcomers Jiang Hao and Leonard, and they must be prepared! !

So Jiang Hao felt like he was in class for the first time after many years!

The teacher is still Manu, because he was the spectator of the first game last year, and he is most familiar with it and has the deepest impression!

Not to mention, Ginobili looks like a teacher with glasses and a suit.

In 2009, Randolph, who was known for his cancer, was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies. He and Marc Gasol formed a black and white bear. No one expected that Randolph would change his mind since then, and the black and white bears would become the top spoilers in the West.

In the 2011 season, the Grizzlies "black eight" the Spurs and were eliminated by the Thunder in seven games in the Western Conference semifinals!

Compared to what Manu said, Jiang Hao knew more:

In the previous life, the Grizzlies and the Los Angeles Clippers fought seven games and were eliminated in the 2012 season.

In the 2013 season, the Grizzlies trailed the Clippers 0:2 in the first round, but then won four games in a row to eliminate the Clippers, and eliminated the Thunder in the second round; they were swept by the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals.

In the 2014 season, the Grizzlies fought the Thunder in seven games in the first round and were eliminated.

In the 2015 season, the Grizzlies defeated the Trail Blazers 4:1 in the first round, and were eliminated by the Warriors in six games in the second round.

In the 2016 season, the Grizzlies were swept by the Spurs in the first round.

In the 2017 season, the Grizzlies were eliminated by the Spurs 4:2 in the first round.

This is why Jiang Hao was thinking about the lifelong pursuit of the Spurs yesterday, because from his God's perspective, the Spurs will be beaten up every time they meet the Grizzlies after last year!

The Bulls and the Spurs have a back-and-forth battle, and each has a black seven.

But no one has mentioned the Spurs-Bears battle, because the Spurs will always be a mountain in front of the Grizzlies after 11 years. It can be said that if there were no Spurs, the Grizzlies might really win a championship.

After the dark horse miracle last year, the Spurs never let the Grizzlies go. From the dark horse miracle to Jiang Hao's time travel, the two sides played against each other 48 times, and the Spurs won 38 and lost 10!

But the teammates in front of them don't know.

They only know that the Spurs had a record of 61 wins and 21 losses last year, ranking first in the West and second in the league.

The Grizzlies only had a record of 46 wins and 36 losses and ranked eighth in the West.

In the first round of the playoffs, the Grizzlies finally eliminated the Spurs 4-2 and completed the dark horse miracle.

Manu also found EPSN's Van Gundy's comments on them last year:

Although the Spurs still showed good strength in the regular season last year, the team was already in an era of transition and suffered injuries.

In addition, the Grizzlies' positional melee made it impossible for the Spurs to resist, so they completed the dark horse miracle.

Manu Ginobili missed the first game of the playoffs, and the Grizzlies won the away game with 101-98. This seemed to be the beginning of trouble for the Spurs.

The Grizzlies, with Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph, have a great advantage in positional warfare. Although Tim Duncan, who has retreated to the second line, has a stable performance, he is still powerless.

In addition, the Grizzlies also have players such as Mike Conley, Tony Allen, OJ Mayo, and Sean Battier, and most of them are young players, so they have more advantages in physical fitness and body.

On the other hand, the Spurs, the combat effectiveness of the three horses of Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili is worthy of recognition, but they are not at their peak, and it is difficult for others to provide strong support. Jason Richardson also has problems in integration and has not performed as well as before.

After six games, Duncan averaged 12.7 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, Parker averaged 19.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game, and Ginobili averaged 20.6 points, 4 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game. The data is not bad, but the influence on the game is a little bit worse.

There is also the comment with the highest likes from the Reddit experts last year:

Although the probability of the black eight miracle is relatively low, it is easy to happen when there are conflicting styles, injuries and a better understanding of the situation.

The Grizzlies were able to achieve the black eight miracle in 2011. First, they had an advantage in positional warfare. Randolph and Gasol, two positional masters, made the Spurs' inside line unable to resist. Secondly, it was the injury factor. Ginobili, Split and others were injured. In addition, the Spurs' lack of successors led to a collapse in physical strength. The Grizzlies finally created a miracle.

Manu, who was a little excited, named Leonard to summarize a few key words.

Kawhi touched his head and recalled blankly:

Position, melee, aging lineup, conflicting styles, injuries.

"Yes, except for injuries, Battier is no longer with the Grizzlies this year, so everyone should focus on these keywords. "

"We can't let them play what they are good at!"

Jiang Hao nodded. Indeed, we must not play position and melee with the Grizzlies. We have to push the speed. Even the Lakers can't fight the Grizzlies, let alone the Spurs, whose lineup is older than the Lakers.

And conflicting styles is the problem of the coaching staff.

After last year's painful lesson, the coaching staff must change this year.

At this time, the head coach Messina, who was listening nearby, stood up at the right time and talked about the tactics of the Grizzlies and the tactics used by the Spurs last year.

This is also where Jiang Hao needs to listen carefully.

He only has a God's perspective, but he doesn't have the ability to analyze the opponent's tactics out of thin air. Why is he so awesome against the Mavericks? It's because he watched too many video tapes of them. If we talk about restraining the Mavericks, he is the Spurs player who restrains the Mavericks the most. He has studied the Heat for too long.

The Grizzlies are the most special and unique team in the league. From Hollins to Coach Joerger, they insist on the classic double tower play in the small ball era, insist on positional warfare and iron-blooded defense, which is awe-inspiring. Even if they beat the Grizzlies in the playoffs, they can't avoid peeling a layer of skin.

So Messina said at the beginning that their "skin-shedding" style of play is doomed to not go far.

Because if you win the opponent, the opponent only loses a layer of skin, but the opponent in the next round will not lose skin.

That is, the Grizzlies have to lose 4 layers of skin to reach the finals.

The Grizzlies players are not real Grizzlies. They have the same skin and genes as other team players, so Manu, Duncan and others also nodded. This style of play is doomed to not go far.

We can see some clues from the fact that the Grizzlies didn't come to the Holy City today.

Because this is the second round, the Grizzlies, who had already had a hard time with the Lakers in the first round, obviously need to rest in Memphis for a day, otherwise according to their nature last season, they would have come to the Holy City to adapt to the venue and climate.

Messina first talked about the Grizzlies' inside line:

The black and white bears complement each other: Randolph is the inside offensive core, with comprehensive and delicate skills under the basket, strength and footwork, can back up and face the basket, can throw, shoot, and cut in, with strong scoring ability, good at attacking, and sometimes even delivers exquisite support.

Although Duncan was reluctant to admit it last year, he was indeed beaten by Blue Tofu.

The disadvantage is that his defense is very poor, and the attacking ability of this kind of player who relies on the inside will decline year by year.

Gasol is the inside support and defense core, with excellent single defense and help defense, comprehensive skills, and can also be a school of back-to-basket and face-to-basket, top support, but his scoring ability is insufficient, rebounding is average, and attacking at critical moments cannot support the team.

This reminded Jiang Hao of the 2015 season when Gasol couldn't beat Green of the Warriors.

Compared to his brother, Gasol prefers to stand on the outside line, so after the Black Bear was gone, Gasol was not very good at leading the team alone. He is still suitable for teams with twin towers or 19 Raptors with a lot of defensive pioneers.

"Next is the outside line. The Grizzlies' outside line is improving every year."

When it comes to the Grizzlies' outside line, Messina looked at Parker and Jiang Hao and others, they are Alexander.

You know, the Grizzlies' outside line gave Kobe a headache last round.

Last night, Kobe said after the end of this season that Tony Allen was the strongest defensive player he had ever met, and the Grizzlies' outside line was also the toughest outside line combination he had ever seen.

The Black Mamba gave this evaluation, which shows the Grizzlies' outside defense.

Let's not talk about offense, the defense is definitely the top 0 level in the league.

Conley is the Grizzlies' outside organizer and defensive core. His pick-and-roll cooperation with Gasol drives the team's offense.

Tony Allen is a lock on the outside line, and can specifically defend against All-Stars such as Durant and Kobe, but Tony Allen has no shooting ability and is often left alone in the playoffs, allowing opponents to double-team Randolph.

So Tony Allen's offense can be treated as non-existent, which is an advantage that the Spurs can take advantage of.

The combination of Randolph-Gasol-Tony Allen-Conley is the foundation of the Grizzlies. As for the superstar, it is Rudy Gay. The difficult balls are played by Gay who is a template of McGrady.

The team has Conley, Gasol and Tony Allen, which determines that the team's defense is top-notch, the style is tough, and the defensive efficiency has long been at the upper level of the league.

However, the traditional double tower play of the black and white bears is slow in rhythm, which is incompatible with the mainstream style of the league's small and fast style.

There is also a serious problem in the playoffs last season and the first round of this year, which is the lack of three-point output ability, and the three-point hit rate is outside the top 20.

Tony Allen, an important core of the team, was left alone, causing the offense to be more stagnant.

"Just let Rudy Gay get carried away."

Jiang Hao knows how independent Gay is. A big part of the reason why the Grizzlies' offense is suffocated is because Rudy Gay is addicted to singles. If Conley can get more movement on the ball, the game will definitely be smoother.

It's just that Gay is still the absolute core now, but in fact he will be sent away next season. The Grizzlies also understand the harm of Gay's cancerous and inefficient offensive style to the team.

Jiang Hao, who knows the cause and effect, understands it even more. Just make Rudy Gay get carried away in singles.

What's the use of your strong defense? You can't win the game if you can't score on the basketball court! !

And in Messina's opinion, the Grizzlies' bench is not strong, much worse than the Mavericks, so the bench is also easy to target.

OJ Mayo, rookie Cunningham, Speights, Quincy Pondexter, Josh Selby

There is also a mascot, Haddadi, who is also an old acquaintance of Jiang Hao as a fan of the Chinese men's basketball team, but this Iranian center has no chance to play.

Yao Ming has no place to play in front of Duncan, not to mention Haddadi, who is slower. The Spurs really like to defend this kind of inside line.

Of course, there is also a mascot, Arenas, who came here to retire. It seems that he will retire directly next year and become a basketball commentator.

Therefore, there is no chance to play this season. His style is not in line with the Grizzlies. Hollins will not use this old agent 0 at all.

Jiang Hao pondered for a while. The Grizzlies' substitutes seem to have been bad. Only in the 2014 and 2016 seasons were better.

In the 2014 season, the bench had Mike Miller and Prince, etc., who could continue to have some firepower.

In the 2016 season, the team got Chalmers, who had a falling out with LeBron. He contributed 10.8 points, 2.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1.45 steals, and his bench scoring rose to fourth in the league (unfortunately Chalmers was written up in the middle of the season).

Just as Jiang Hao was thinking, Messina called him out:

"Hey, Jiang, what are you daydreaming about? The fans are calling you Teacher Jiang. Do you have any ideas for us playing against the Grizzlies?"

Jiang Hao stood up and showed off when everyone thought he would be embarrassed:

"I think there is no need to deliberately speed up the transition. If we speed up the transition, we will not be able to take advantage of the Grizzlies' weak offense.

I think sticking to our team control and passing style of boiling the frog in warm water will be very effective without being impatient."
