The first point guard in basketball

Chapter 510 Half time is over, still anxious

The game was very anxious. Both the Grizzlies and the Spurs put in a lot of effort in this game. This directly caused David Robinson to sit on the bench after the first quarter and almost couldn't get up. The Grizzlies led away by 2 points in the first quarter, 32:30. There have been no consecutive fouls, but his presence also made the Spurs' bench stretched.

The biggest difference in the Spurs this season comes from the bench. Except for Wang Zhizhi and Rashad Lewis, the performance of others can only be said to be average. Steve Kerr's three-point shooting rate this season is only a pitiful 20.00%.

Relying on Terry Porter's two fouls in the first quarter, Xiao Tian scored 12 points and five assists. The Spurs scored evenly, which prevented the Grizzlies from opening up the score. However, Terry Porter's two fouls still made Popovich feel very uncomfortable.

As a substitute in the second quarter, Ginobili made consecutive breakthroughs when he came up. Steve Kerr couldn’t defend the opponent at all. Popovich had a headache. This kind of cost-effective player is what the Spurs urgently need, but the Spurs were cut off by the Grizzlies. This is a very sad thing.The most important thing is that Popovich didn't expect Ginobili to adapt to the NBA so quickly.

Popovich could only pause, "Steve, stick to that guy, don't let him have the slightest gap, as long as there is a slight gap in his breakthrough, he will be caught. You have to figure this out, this guy is an extremely difficult existence."

Popovich has a serious face, but Cole feels very powerless. His state this season can be called the worst in history. Maybe after this season, he should retire. Anyway, his career has a championship, which is enough.

Popovich also knows that it is unrealistic for Cole to limit Ginobili, so Popovich chose to start. The current Popovich is not the coach of the league full of peaches and plums in the later generations. He is now just a head coach who needs to prove himself.

David Robinson is great and Tracy McGrady is great, but neither of them can replace Duncan. It's just that Duncan can let himself go if he doesn't have Duncan under him. He doesn't have to restrain his performance in every game, and he can get as many points as he wants.

Seeing that the Spurs were replaced by the starters, the Grizzlies were also the starters. Terry Porter was not replaced by Popovich. At this time, it was Mario Alley.

Anyway, these two guys are false starters, no matter who they are on. At this time, there are less than 7 minutes before the end of the second quarter. The score between the Grizzlies and the Spurs is 40:39, and the Spurs are only 1 point behind.

David Robinson rested off the court for 5 minutes in the second quarter, and his overall state came back. As soon as he came up, he faced Brand's continuous strong hits and hits. Brand faced David Robinson.

These two centers are the ones Brand dislikes the most, especially David Robinson, who can be called a nightmare for all rookies. This bastard's biggest hobby is bullying newcomers, and he is full of bad taste just like Barkley.

Brand was very unconvinced. He wanted to fight back, the Grizzlies attacked, and Brand was very deep. At this time, he and David Robinson were in one -to -one. Xiao Tian didn't shoot outside the outside. He hung the ball to Brand. Brand took the ball a few times and then turned around. Before it, Brand's turning speed was so fast that the other party did not expect that the only comfort was that David Robinson had no foul this time.

This ball gives full play to Brand's speed and long arms. If Brand is taller, then he is really second to Duncan.

In the second quarter, the two sides’ starters were still fighting to the death. For a rebound, it almost turned into an all-out fight. At the end of the half, the Grizzlies led by 55 points at 50:5. Xiao Tian had 18 points, 9 assists and 2 steals in the half.

David Robinson and McGrady, the two core players didn't talk, and Wang Zhizhi didn't get any advantage against Coleman in the half game. Compared with Wang Zhizhi, Coleman's style of play is more comprehensive than the opponent's. and not seen.

Wang Zhizhi scored 4 points and 1 rebound in three shots in the first half, which is a more important point on the Spurs bench. Rashard Lewis was more tragic. In the first half, he made 3 of 0 shots, scored 2 fouls, and made 1 turnover. The shooting percentage is 30.00%, which is slightly better than that of Cole. Cole is due to injuries and aging, while Rashad Lewis is purely due to waves.

"Rashad, be sober. Since you missed the shot, why didn't you choose to break through? Why did Wang have a good chance? You didn't pass the ball to the opponent. We are a team and a whole. Can you understand that we can win the championship by fighting alone?" Dissatisfied, he also wanted himself to participate in defense or something, but he didn't know how to do it. What he was best at was being a high-level fort on the outside.
