I Don’t Want to be the Boss

Compared to the Grizzlies, I think it has been difficult to play all the way up to now. Other teams are actually quite surprised by the Grizzlies' performance this season.

Randolph got older, more potential injuries, and more shifts.

In terms of signings, Gerald Green and Bargnani are not good. Rookie Nance has obvious advantages and disadvantages. Only Sessions and David West are qualified signings. Mo Williams sometimes uses them. It's okay but it's pitted most of the time. Fortunately, Mo Williams has a big heart and a very good scoring explosion.

Under such circumstances, the Grizzlies started with 15 wins and 2 losses...

Other teams know very well that the Grizzlies will definitely not use Gerald Green and Bargnani in the playoffs, just like Stoudemire and Blake in the playoffs last season. The playing time is not the same, the two men, and even Sessions, are used to top the regular season break.

Their role is to help Tony Allen, Sun Ce, Paul George, and the inside to create breaks.

The Grizzlies’ own coaching staff also knows it well. They naturally don’t clearly express such thoughts to the players. Therefore, the Grizzlies coaching staff has a stable mentality and only needs Mo Williams, David West, Jie Michael Green can better integrate into the team, there is no problem of insufficient rotation depth in the playoffs, not as strong as the rookie bonus period in the past, but at least enough.

But the regular season does need these players, so the run-in still has to run-in, after all, there is still a difficult mid-season and the second half of the regular season that needs to ensure continuity.

In the view of Spurs’ head coach Popovich, the Grizzlies are still the team that puts them the most pressure. The Lakers’ internal strength is declining and they are in a period of adjustment. No matter how good the future adjustment is, at this stage, Povic is not afraid of the Lakers anymore.

The Warriors are strong there, but Popovich still thinks the Grizzlies are more terrifying.

Because compared to the Warriors, the team has always been in good condition, and the Grizzlies have to rely on Sun Ce for a long time.

The key is that when the playoffs are star-fighting, Sun Ce has proven himself many times in the playoffs. There is no doubt that the playoffs will magnify Sun Ce's star role.

Popovich has been under unprecedented pressure this season. Duncan has revealed his intention to retire at the end of this season. After all, when the playoffs start this season, Duncan will be 40 years old.

Popovich knows the importance of Duncan better than anyone. This season, Duncan averaged 28 minutes per game, scored 13.9 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.7 steals, and 1.9 blocks. He is a top player and a god-level use of his own strength. Ability, but also the soul of the team...

For this reason, Popovich rarely persuaded the management last summer to pay the luxury tax.

Renewed Guy who jumped out of the contract with 4 years of 90 million, renewed Danny Green with 4 years of 40 million, and renewed Tony Parker with 3 years of 56 million. Duncan jumped out of the last year's contract of 10 million. On the basis of a two-year contract extension of 10 million, Ginobili persuaded Ginobili to first give up the bird rights to make room, and finally used the remaining space after the signings ended to reach a renewal with Ginobili for a year of 2.86 million dollars. .

On the basis of Duncan's conversion of 10 million from 1 year to 10 million in two years to make room for 5 million, Ginobili cut his salary by 4 million, and posted the second round sign to send away Split. The Spurs succeeded in 1 Rondo, who has no bird rights to renew his contract for 8 million a year, Miles Leonard, who used Bellinelli as a bargaining chip to get the Trail Blazers, signed Cole Aldridge for 8 million in two years, and 3 million in 1 year. Signed Matt Barnes, a full middle class for two years and signed Courtney Lee with player options.

The contract extension of Danny Green and Tony Parker was finalized, directly bringing the Spurs' total salary to 91 million.

Popovich has achieved such a point, this season's goal is only the championship!

...

After a rest night in San Antonio and watching the live broadcast of the Warriors’ 19-game winning streak, on November 21, the Grizzlies’ away game against the Spurs came.

This is the first time to play against the Spurs in the new season. Sun Ce saw the Spurs' various trades and signings in the summer. He believes that the Spurs have undergone great changes. Scouting reports and video analysis have also proved this point.

This team is definitely not to be underestimated, and Sun Ce also sees the opponent's ambition from the opponent's operation!

Just watching, it is difficult to truly understand the opponent, and you have to fight to understand the strength of the opponent.

After a day of preparations, at 7:40pm, Sun Ce and his teammates walked into the stadium after warming up.

...

"Duncan A+... This Nima, a bit too much..."

Sun Ce looked at the evaluation of Duncan's ability, whose style had become very small and fresh this year, and couldn't describe how to describe it.

Duncan has a fresh style this year, short + bright blue hairstyle, and visual art outside the mainstream has begun to transform from an exaggerated style. The NBA fashion godfather continues to guide fashion lovers outside the mainstream.

It is said that this is the opinion provided by Duncan’s new girlfriend. Regarding this part of the off-market income, Duncan, who lost tens of millions of dollars in his last marriage and his previous agent, will not give up, and he Also loves hair style career.

It is said that in addition to a motorcycle modification shop in Texas, Duncan also opened a chain of hair visual salons. The key is that the business is still very good.

In addition to Duncan's excellent form since the 10-11 season, the Spurs lineup this year is more interesting than ever.

Sun Ce looked at the group of people opposite: Rondo, Parker, Ginobili, Guy, Danny Green, Miles Leonard, Cole Aldridge, Dior, Boban Mayano Vicki, Patrick Mills, Jonathan Simmons, Kyle Anderson...

It can be seen that the Spurs are desperate for the championship this year! Salary expenditure reached the highest in team history!

The Spurs currently overpower the Lakers and rank fourth in the West. The top three in the West are the first in the three regions in the West. The Warriors are 19-0, Grizzlies 15-2, and Thunder 14-3. , The Spurs are currently 14 wins and 4 losses.

In terms of record, apart from the Warriors who are far ahead, their second to fourth record gap is not obvious. The difference is that the Grizzlies have a stronger ability to grasp key moments, and the situation is unfavorable to complete the reversal.

As a player, Sun Ce is accustomed to the strength of the Spurs, but he is not afraid. The Spurs have strong flank defense and strong defense under the basket...especially the Boban, who is 221 cm tall and 130 kg in weight, with Duncan in position. The defense at the basket is invincible.

But the way to deal with the Spurs is still very simple-CIC!

Mid-range shooting is the most difficult part of all shooting areas, but by coincidence, their Grizzlies have no shortage of mid-range shooters!

...

At 8 pm, the Grizzlies and Spurs game started.

For the Grizzlies, tonight, Gerald Green, Bargnani, and Nance Jr. were placed on the inactive list, and the other 12 official roster and development players, Je Michael Green, entered the active list.

The starting lineup of Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Aldridge and Gobert debuted.

On the Spurs side, the starting lineups of Parker, Danny Green, Guy, Duncan, and Boban are on the stage.

In order to deal with the Grizzlies' Gobert and against Sun Ce and Aldridge's low back, Popovich used Boban to start for the first time this season.

After the game started, the Grizzlies started with Sun Ce and Aldridge's mid-range shots. They couldn't play in the low post. The Spurs took the initiative at the start.

Watching Boban tiptoe and put the ball into the basket when he was eating the cake...it really did! With a height of 221 cm and a wingspan of 234 cm, he can directly dunk on his toes! That is, it is a little farther away from the basket before putting the basket.

After a wave of 9-4 in the opening game, the Grizzlies started to make substitutions early, placing Aldridge in the center position and replacing Yi Jianlian with no change in the perimeter.

Originally, I wanted to start a triangle offense with a high post back. Positional warfare is the favorite style of the Grizzlies. Their overall style of play is still very retro.

But the high post didn't open up, and the Grizzlies decisively accelerated.

Coach Hollins has done a good job in this change. Even if Aldridge missed two shots in the first 3 minutes of the game, the Spurs still dare not let go. Yi Jianlian averaged 1.6 three-pointers per game this season, 100 points. The 39th three-point shooting percentage is extremely threatening on both sides of the sidelines. Although they could not prevent the strong Spurs in the first quarter, their Grizzlies took advantage of the slowness of the opposing Boban and used Aldridge and Yi Jianlian's long-range investment ability contained the opponent's flank, Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George and the three-point chance came and seized it!

The Grizzlies began to narrow the point difference. Popovich also made timely adjustments. Parker, Guy, Duncan, Danny Green, and Miles Leonard played for a few minutes. , And then replaced with Rondo, Danny Green, Ginobili, Matt Barnes, and Dior's five-small lineup.

The Grizzlies also followed suit. Tony Allen, Jeffrey Green, Carter played, and Sun Ce and Yi Jianlian played in the 9th minute of the first quarter. Sun Ce went to rest. Then Sessions, Paul George, Carter and David -West, Gobert's lineup came up to grind the positional battle for a while.

At the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies relied on the three-point chance brought by the change to tighten the score under the unfavorable start of the game, and at the end of the first quarter, they narrowed the point difference to two points, 30 to 32. The Bears fell behind by two points and entered the break!

The Spurs' starting performance is still strong. Don't say it, even if the Grizzlies played 75 wins last season, when they played against the Spurs, it was difficult to get a bargain in the first quarter. The Spurs' starting lineup defense has improved this year. Up.

However, Paul George did a great job on both offense and defense tonight, especially the open three-pointer, shooting 3 of 3! Help Sun Ce get enough breathing space!
