The first point guard in basketball

Chapter 509 An away game against the Spurs, starting from Pengci

After playing the Mavericks and the Rockets, and the Spurs, the trip to the Southwest is not over. But compared to the Rockets and the Mavericks, the Spurs are undoubtedly more difficult to deal with. Although they lost Duncan because of themselves, the current Spurs have McGrady, Rashad Lewis and Wang Zhizhi. These three together are almost a Duncan.The current record of the Grizzlies is 15-3, while the Spurs are 18-2. The Admiral is still brave this season, averaging 28 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal per game.

And this game is a major test for Brand. The current David Robinson can still stabilize O'Neal at the head. In the historical space, he has already started to be fishy at this time, but in this time and space, he is still very vigorous. O'Neal can't get any advantage against him. Of course, he can't do anything to O'Neal in the low post.

Popovich is very optimistic about this game. The Grizzlies are the biggest opponent of the Spurs. Although the Lakers' F5 looks very powerful and powerful, those strengths are based on the sacrifices of Malone, Gloves, and Glenn Rice.

But the Grizzlies are different. The Grizzlies left a lot of people this season, but the newcomers performed well, and the Spurs did not have any big signings during the offseason, so it is not that simple to win this game.

On December 12th, the Grizzlies came to San Antonio, and the Spurs had been waiting there for a long time. This game is very important for both sides. It can be said to be a ranking battle. Whoever wins will have the upper hand in the Western Conference, which can affect the playoffs. The results of each match in the regular season are a good reference for the two teams.

The game was broadcast live, and the guest was George Gervin, who is a typical example of a big mouth, who speaks without thinking. Before the game started, he just started beeping there.

"I'm optimistic about the Spurs in this game, because the Grizzlies' continuous away games have a huge impact on their physical fitness. The Spurs have completed their transformation this season. The current performance of several core players is worthy of their salary. In addition, Greg is definitely better than Paul Westphal in terms of deploying troops."

The Spurs' starting lineup doesn't look like much of a difference, General.Terry Porter, McGrady, Malik Ross and Admiral, the Grizzlies here are Xiao Tian, ​​Wu Sheng, Jamison, Duncan and Brand.

Terry Porter came to the Spurs this season just to get a ring, but he performed well this season, averaging 7 points per game and shooting 40.00% from the field. This kind of shooting rate is really good for a veteran.At least compared to his previous seasons, his performance is much better.

Wu Sheng's defensive pressure in this game is mainly on McGrady's side. McGrady's pull-up this season is even more superb than last season. It can be said that apart from Jordan's fadeaway jumper, no other shot can be more threatening than his.

Xiao Tian controlled the ball and faced the little general. He didn't shoot at the first moment, but chose to break through. Xiao Tian's purpose was very simple. No matter what, let's make a foul first, and talk about other things later. My goal has been achieved.

"Referee, this is an offensive foul, this is an offensive foul." Popovich couldn't help but started to growl. The biggest change of this guy Xiao Tian this season is his foul making. He can get 10 points by fouling this season. This is completely the standard of a new generation of Magneto.

What annoys Popovich the most is Xiao Tian. Compared to previous seasons, this bastard knows how to use the rules better. When a player knows how to use the rules, it means that he has truly reached his peak.

However, the referee ignored Popovich at all, and he still called Terry Porter a foul. After all, Terry Porter is not the one who can reach the finals with the glider.

Xiao Tian got a free throw opportunity. He has not missed a free throw at the free throw line this season. This is a terrifying existence. The same is true for this shot. With two free throws, Xiao Tian scored the Grizzlies' first point with a free throw.

The Spurs attacked, and the general took the ball to the frontcourt and threw it to McGrady without even thinking about it. McGrady got the ball and faced Jamison.The Spurs tied the score very quickly.

It seems that McGrady has not been idle this offseason. If this guy works harder, he will become very scary. Now his spondylitis has been greatly relieved, and he is also much more diligent than in the historical space. Perhaps his biggest opponent will come soon.

On the side of the Grizzlies, it was Xiao Tian who played the main fight. Xiao Tian still made a breakthrough this time, but it was McGrady, not Terry Porter, who came to help defend. McGrady faced Xiao Tian. Xiao Tian had no advantage over McGrady in other aspects except speed. Xiao Tian clicked on McGrady, but the opponent didn't move at all. Mison faced Terry Porter and chose to shoot. The veteran was completely helpless. He couldn't stop Jamison's shooting at all. If he fouled again, he would really end up.

The ball Jamison didn't go in at the first time, Malik Ross got stuck on the backboard, but the moment the ball came out, he didn't know it rolled in, and with a swipe, the ball still fell into the net bag, and Xiao Tian got an assist.

Malik Rose was a little disappointed. In the confrontation with Duncan, it is really not easy to grab an advantage. Why the ball didn't fall out is really disappointing.No one paid attention to Malik Rose's expression, because the game was too anxious.
