775: Not Simple French Fatty
The Grizzlies' active formation change caught the experienced Vicky off guard. He would never have thought that he would be the first to be the first to be led by Dave Jogel.
**Vicci thought this would be a game that surprises the Grizzlies, but the situation was completely opposite to what he imagined.
A few minutes after the opening game, the Spurs were always very passive on the scene. On the defensive end, they could not adapt to the Grizzlies' mobility. On the offensive end, they were tall in the inside but could not gain a real advantage. Even on rebounds, the Spurs did not catch more rebounds than the Grizzlies.
Split tried to play Link twice, but both ended in failure. When a center could not give the opponent a heavy blow in the misalignment, could not provide help on the defensive end, and could not effectively protect the rebound, then is there any need for him to be present?
So, the game only took four minutes, and when the Spurs were 3 points behind, **Vic was the first to substitution.
"Jimmy Butler fouled against Leonard, but the foul numbers have not reached yet, and the Spurs can't go to the free throw line. Hey? The Spurs are going to substitution, and they have only played four minutes into the game. Are they going to substitution?"
In Huby Brown's slightly surprised gaze, Frenchman Burres Dior walked onto the court and slapped Split. The latter walked down dejectedly. Although he knew that he was just a fake starter, even if he was a fake starter, he was beaten too badly today.
After Dior appeared, Duncan will stand at the No. 5 position, and the Spurs' first and fourth small sizes are officially formed!
Dave Joggel stood up from the bench with a serious expression. The powerful Oklahoma City Thunder was defeated by the Spurs' lineup!
But now, the Spurs' situation can be different from that in the Western Conference semi-finals.
In the Western Conference semi-finals, the Thunder were led by the Spurs' heads. But today, the Grizzlies first used the lineup of the first and fourth, and they became the more proactive side.
I just don’t know who can laugh to the end in this big and four small match.
The current game is completely different from before.
Seeing Burris Dior full of fat walking towards him, Link couldn't believe that this guy had beaten Stoudemire in the training ground of the Suns.
Dior's muscle lines were not obvious at all, and the jersey was stretched tightly. Looking closely, he even had a small belly!
It is said that **Vic will urge Dior to lose weight in pre-season training camps every season. Otherwise, Dior may not even be able to maintain his current figure.
It’s just such a guy with a gray beard, a round figure, and a poor appearance. In fact, he is the culprit who killed Thunder!
Without him, **Vicci's first and fourth-year-olds would not have played so smoothly.
If the Spurs are compared to a sports car, then **Vic is the gearbox, and he controls the entire speed. The Spurs players are the engines, and they release their strength to the fullest under the control of the gearbox.
Then Dior is the clutch connecting the engine and the gearbox. It seems to have simple functions, but it is indispensable. It averages 9.2 points, 3.8 assists and 4.2 rebounds per game in the playoffs, which is completely a small "triple double data".
Link is on guard. If you underestimate the fat man in front of you, then wait to suffer a big loss.
The game started again, and the Grizzlies fans were still cheering. In their opinion, a mere Burris Dior could not change the situation at all.
The Spurs began to suspend their first offense after returning from timeout. Their offense was still in the old style, tearing the defense through superb running and conduction.
What about Dior? He is like an old man who comes out for a walk after drinking coffee. He is calm and leisurely on the court.
Link was really not used to this rhythm. The fierce confrontation just now suddenly relaxed.
At this moment, Dior received a pass from Parker in the middle distance. Dior faced Link with his back, and his body fat played a role at this time.
Dior's wide back completely separates Link from the basketball, eliminating the possibility of Link completing a steal.
Dior sat down and Link pushed back twice. Just as everyone thought Dior wanted to use his weight advantage to single Link, he suddenly passed the ball to the right bottom corner!
Over there, Danny Green just got rid of Iguodala's defense and got a fleeting shot opportunity!
As a basketball shooter, it’s not enough to just run with your own superb running position. If your teammates can’t find you, it’s useless to run out of a gap as wide as a grassland.
But Danny Green is lucky that he is in a team that can definitely catch the ball whenever he has free space. He also has a French teammate who seems ordinary but can always send deadly passes.
Dior delivered the ball accurately and quickly to Green, and his passing ability was completely inconsistent with his size.
Green received the basketball and immediately shot! Iguodala quickly blocked it, but Green's shot was faster!
For a ball-free shooter of his level, even a little bit of gap is enough!
Greene's three-shot shot was fired, and Gasol Jr. and Duncan fought in the interior.
However, the three-pointer finally jumped directly into the net. Danny Green tied the score, and his magical three-point shooting percentage remained in the Western Conference Finals.
Speaking of which, Green's three-point shooting percentage averaged 47.5% in the playoffs this season, which is a very exaggerated data. Last season's playoffs, Green's three-point shooting percentage was only 30%.
On the one hand, Green's own three-point shooting level has indeed improved a lot. But without the four-member Vicci, a senior and senior, and all the players participated in the offensive system, Green would not have had so many opportunities to shoot easily.
The score was equalized, and many fans thought that the key to this goal was Green, which was Danny Green's magical three-point performance that made the Spurs reverse the decline.
But Link knew very well that the key to this goal was actually Dior!
Without his transfer and support, basketball would not have been sent to Green so timely.
No matter how powerful a shooter is, he cannot kill him in one shot without bullets. And Dior is the guy who sent bullets for Green.
This is Burris Dior, a cold-blooded killer who "kills with a knife"!
Later, Link found that the Spurs' defensive strategy had also changed. Leonard did not continue to defend himself, and the one who was standing in front of Link became Dior!
Link was a little surprised. What were the Spurs thinking? Dior may be an excellent system player, but he is definitely not a single defense expert!
Link did not hesitate. After receiving the basketball, he was about to wipe Dior with speed.
Dior let Link take a long distance just to guard against breakthroughs. Link changed his mind temporarily. He suddenly paused and pulled out his hand from outside the three-point line!
However, Dior seemed to see through Link's little thoughts. The moment Link pulled up, Dior blocked, seriously interfering with Link's shooting.
Only then did Link realize that he had fallen into the trap! Dior deliberately gave Link a step, in fact, it was to induce Link to shoot!
Dior is such a thief!
Even if it is a unanimous MVP, it is difficult to hit a three-pointer if it is so severely disturbed.
Link's three-pointer ended with a blacksmith, and the Spurs got the chance to overtake the score!
This time, Dior pulled Link out of the three-point line. Dior also had a range. Although he was not as perverted and accurate as Danny Green, he could not let him go casually.
So Duncan got a one-on-one opportunity with Gasol Jr. in the inside,
Without outsiders, this is a real singles matchup at a low post.
Although Duncan is one head shorter than Gasol, the "Stone Buddha" who has been active in the No. 5 position for a long time has become accustomed to this situation.
Relying on Gasol, the "Stone Man" made a simple jump shot with a simple jump shot, and the Spurs overtook!
The style of "big basic skills" has been going on for decades, but this simple and unpretentious trick has made him one of the top inside players in the league until now.
Gasol Jr. was beaten to no aura. Although he was good at defending, he still struggled to curb Duncan in one-on-one undisturbed one-on-one.
**Vic off the court smiled, and the Spurs were completely opened. He believed that after the first quarter, the Spurs would be the one who took the lead!
Link once again faced Dior, and Dior still looked harmless. But just now, Link had already experienced the French defense.
Link suddenly remembered that in the original history, when the Spurs and the Heat played in the finals, **Vic seemed to have often used Dior to defend James, and the effect was very good.
Although Dior is slow, he can withstand the impact, not take any shaking, and not foul. To sum up, Dior will not directly score a star, but he will make every goal of this star constantly trouble.
Link did not shoot this time, but resolutely chose to accelerate the breakthrough.
But because Dior took a step, Link was bounced back by Dior's fatty belly...
Link instantly felt that eight-pack abdominal muscles were not as useful as one "abdominal muscle"!
Seeing that the breakthrough route was blocked, Link took a step back to shoot. However, Dior did not shake, so he just raised his arms high, neither jumping nor pounced forward.
Just as Link was about to break through again, Duncan also double-teamed and made a layup, and Link was surrounded!
"Perfect defense!" Even Hubby Brown praised the Spurs seriously, and the team's system is really impeccable.
Link was double-teamed and his vision was blocked. In the end, he had to return the ball to Conley.
But before Conley received the basketball, Leonard suddenly rushed out, stretched his long arm and intercepted Link's pass in the middle. He completed the steal on the pass route, which was Leonard's "retained program".
Leonard took advantage of the situation to quickly attack, and the expressionless No. 2 stepped to the basket in a few steps and completed a one-handed dunk.
It seems that Leonard doesn't seem to jump much, and just raises his long arms and can dunk it.
The Spurs' counterattack left the Grizzlies 4 points behind. Since Burris Dior came on the court, the Grizzlies have been in trouble.
The small lineup that can beat the Thunder to obey is indeed very strong! The Grizzlies are far from enough just to play first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, second, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, small, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, first, small
After Leonard scored a dunk, **Vic sat back on the bench leisurely.
Chapter completed!
