Chapter 380: Grizzlies Resilience

The Spurs attack.

The four of them still opened up, and Duncan stepped down and took the lead.

Milicic also lowered his center of gravity, put one arm on Duncan's waist, and the other hand leaned on Duncan's waist, defending with all his strength.

Duncan chiseled and bared his teeth. He obviously felt that Milicic's strength was stronger than the previous rounds, which made him feel very strenuous.

On the other side, Li Lei took a step away from Bowen and approached, standing between Duncan and Bowen, ready to help defend Duncan and back to defend Bowen.

Li Lei put pressure on Duncan in this way.

Duncan was forced to speed up his attack, turning to the baseline and throwing a shot.

Bang!

The ball was a little hasty and went out of the frame.

Oberto abruptly squeezed Gasol away to grab an offensive rebound.

At this moment, a figure rose into the air from behind Oberto, and took the basketball away with its long arms.

Snapped!
Li Lei landed with the basketball in his arms.

Oberto and Bowen also tried to sneak up on Li Lei and grab the basketball.

Li Lei hugged the basketball tightly, swung his arms, and mercilessly threw his elbows on the two of them, smashing them apart.

Oberto and Bowen suffered a dark loss and did not dare to speak out, they could only run back with their arms covered.

Seeing that the Spurs gave up the ball, Li Lei handed the ball to Lowry and ran forward.

Li Lei continued to hold the ball at the top of the arc, broke into the inside line, attracted Duncan's double-team, and accurately distributed the ball to Milicic in the crowd.

Milicic catches the ball and puts it to the basket easily.

Swish!
10: 9.

The Spurs attack.

Duncan still fell low, and under Milicic's fierce defense, he missed his second consecutive shot.

Gasol received the rebound, gave full play to his passing ability, and gave the ball to Lowry with a long pass.

Lowry rushed to the front court like lightning and made a layup.

Bang, swish!

10: 11.

Unknowingly, the Grizzlies achieved a go-ahead.

There was a restlessness at the scene, and the San Antonio fans were a little uneasy. The Grizzlies were far more powerful than they imagined.

Drip!

Greg Popovich is worthy of being a famous coach and called a timeout in time.

Replace Finley with Manu Ginobili.

The Spurs attack.

Duncan mentioned the high post and set up a pick-and-roll for Ginobili.

The quality of this pick-and-roll is quite good, and the old Jones was blocked abruptly.

Ginobili took the opportunity to speed up, but Gasol, who was changing defenses, suddenly made a strange change of direction, "snake-shaped breakthrough", and found an offensive line directly between Gasol and Li Lei.

The old Jones, Li Lei, and Gasol just didn't block Ginobili.

Ginobili made a difficult throw.

Swish!
12: 11.

This is Ginobili. On the offensive end, the opponents can't stop him.Defensively, he's down on touch.

On the next turn, the Grizzlies attack.

Ginobili really showed his Oscar-winning acting skills and tricked Lowry into an offensive foul.

The ball went to Ginobili again.

Ginobili held the ball high and called Duncan out for a pick-and-roll.

Old Jones, as a defensive champion and an experienced veteran, was prepared this time. He used his peripheral vision to observe Duncan's actions early, moved ahead of time, and cracked Duncan's screen.

However, Ginobili was as smart as a demon, pretending not to react, and continued to break through to one side, but actually changed direction ahead of time and broke through from the other side.

Old Jones was deceived, and could only watch Ginobili break through to the inside.

The Grizzlies quickly shrunk their defense, and Milicic, Gasol, and Li Lei surrounded Ginobili under the basket.

However, Ginobili seemed to be prepared, twisting his body in the air, posing a difficult posture, and throwing the ball to the bottom corner.

Bowen, who had been waiting here for a long time, received the ball, adjusted, raised the knife and hit a three-pointer.

Swish!
15: 11.

Ginobili deserves to be one of the best sixth men in the league. As soon as he came up, he scored himself and helped his teammates score easily, overtaking and widening the point difference.

第一节打到8分22秒，比分是19：14，马刺队领先了5分。

Coach Carlisle signaled Gay and Warrick to warm up and prepare to take on the task of grabbing points.

But at this moment, Li Lei raised his arms high again, raised his teammates, and comforted him: "Everyone, don't panic, we will play one ball at a time."

All the members of the Grizzlies instantly felt at ease, as if they had activated a team buff.

The Grizzlies attack.

Li Lei didn't ask for the ball directly, but signaled Gasol's high-level organization.

Seeing Gasol mentioned the position of the free throw line, he took the ball to respond.

Li Lei immediately started, and made a hand-to-hand pass with Gasol, and used Gasol to block the "mangy" Bowen by the way.

Oberto's consciousness is very good. Seeing that Bowen lost Li Lei, he immediately switched to defend Li Lei, and directly rushed forward, relying on his strong body to restrain Li Lei.

However, Li Lei retreated tactically to open up space, then turned his back to get rid of Oberto, and pulled him up directly.

Swish!
19: 16.

Oberto defended the ball very well. If he is facing an average player, the defense will probably be successful.

It's a pity that the guy opposite is not an ordinary person, and his scoring is unreasonable.

After scoring the goal, Li Lei did not celebrate. He applauded loudly and reminded his teammates: "Defend! Come back to defend!"

Everyone in the Grizzlies immediately returned to defense and set up a defensive formation.

Ginobili, who originally wanted to sneak attack, had to give up.

He glanced at Li Lei and shook his head helplessly: "This guy is really smart!"

Ginobili's ball intelligence can be said to be the top among NBA players, but Li Lei is only stronger.

The Spurs fell to the ground, and Ginobili continued to play with Duncan, trying to use his weird snake breakthrough to tear apart the Grizzlies' defense.

But this time, Li Lei was in place to assist in the defense in time, and cooperated with the old Jones to jump up together, which caused Ginobili's mistake.

Li Lei stretched out his hand, grabbed the ball abruptly from Ginobili's hand, and then made a fast break, rushed to the frontcourt, flew straight into the air, and bombarded the basket with both arms.

boom!
19: 18.

The Grizzlies caught up again, biting the score tightly.

Teacher Xu Jicheng explained: "The Grizzlies are a youth team, and the players are quite young. Milicic and Li Lei are only in the fourth grade, Warrick is in the second grade, Guy, Lowry, and Zhu Fangyu are all rookies. 26 years old. Generally speaking, such a young team will collapse once they are at a disadvantage, and it is difficult to chase points. But the Grizzlies are just the opposite. They are very resilient. Every time they are pulled away, they will chase a little bit Come back. It is not easy to win the Grizzlies, at least one layer of skin must be lost.

Having said so much, I just want to tell fans and friends that the Grizzlies are not as weak as everyone imagined, and the strength gap between the two teams is not as big as imagined. This round of the series should be very intense, so everyone can pay more attention one time. "

The score was close, and the San Antonio fans were nervous again.
