: Seven hundred and seventy-four: Surprised

　　　　 Gregg Popovich has always been confident that he firmly believes that the Grizzlies will play the traditional double inside lineup.
　　 In this way, the Spurs' first and fourth juniors can just restrain the Grizzlies. With Leonard's defense against Link, playing the Grizzlies is not a problem.
　　 But as soon as the game started today, the situation exceeded Popovich’s expectations. The Grizzlies actually changed their formations. A team that was ridiculed by fans for "a set of starters hit to the death" actually took the initiative to change!
　　 Not only Popovich, many people, even Grizzlies fans, didn’t expect this!
　　 Popovich couldn't help turning his head to look at the other half, and his gaze fell on Dave Georg.
　　 Although Georgel is the best coach of the year, Popovich does not think Georgel is a master tactician. To Popovich's evaluation, Georgel belongs to the kind of coach who won't make mistakes, but won't bring you too many surprises.
　　 He always thought that Georgel could not find a way to deal with the Spurs' first and fourth minors. It's like Scott Brooks, didn't he and his Thunder have not adjusted it?
　　 But now the Grizzlies’ starting lineup has allowed Popovich to refresh his understanding of Georg.
　　Is it possible that the guy has discovered that the Spurs actually played a big or four junior?
　　 Popovich shook his head, not thinking about the mess.
　　What Popovich didn't know was that the reason Georgel had responded early was because there was a player next to him who had just been selected for the best team.
　　 After the Grizzlies attacked, the Spurs' defense spread out. Obviously, they are very confident about one-on-one marking.
　　 But at this time, Duncan was the most uncomfortable guard. Because the Grizzlies play one big and four little ones, the Grizzlies don't have a second inside line.
　　 After Splitter stuck to Gasol, Duncan suddenly found that he could not find a match.
　　 Whether it's Iguodala, Link or Jimmy Butler, they are all misplaced for Duncan!
　　 Although Duncan can't jump very much, his ability to stand and protect the frame is still very powerful.
　　 But if Duncan was allowed to guard it, it would be a bit difficult.
　　 But now, Duncan has no choice!
　　 Old Deng gritted his teeth and attached Butler, he must mention the high position he was not good at.
　　 Facing Duncan, a superstar-level guy, Butler was not nervous.
　　 and the most terrible player in the world singled out every day, so Butler has long forgotten what is afraid of.
　　 Duncan opened his arms as much as possible to increase his defensive area.
　　 Link began to break through under Leonard's entanglement, and Duncan was ready to make a move, ready to defend Link at any time.
　　 In the process of breaking through Leonard, Linkech felt the taste of playing against the "quasi-FMVP".
　　 The Spurs No. 2’s defense has improved a lot, and the physical fitness is much better than last year. It is almost impossible to push his defense hard. Even if LeBron comes, it is estimated that he will be overwhelmed.
　　 But Link's purpose of forcibly breaking Leonard was not to score.
　　 When the encirclement between Leonard and Duncan was about to form, Link jumped up and half-turned in the air, passing the ball to Butler, who was waiting outside the left three-point line!
　　 It stands to reason that Link couldn't have passing vision just now. Duncan and Leonard not only blocked his path, but also blocked Link's sight.
　　 But before Link broke in, he knew Butler would retreat to that position later.
　　 Link does not rely on the eyes to pass the ball, it relies on the control and understanding of the game situation.
　　 Grant Hill’s super high basketball IQ combined with Link’s hard training makes it easy for Link to find teammates in the open position.
　　 Butler connected to the basketball on the three-point line. At this time, Duncan had already contracted into the paint due to his defense against Link.
　　 Therefore, Butler got a huge vacancy!
　　 Without hesitation, Butler, who started the playoffs for the first time this season, shot the first goal in the Western Conference Finals!
　　 Butler's three-pointers this season is actually not high, compared to last season even a step backwards.
　　 After all, for a player like him, it will take several years to make a complete improvement in shooting.
　　 But Butler is not completely missed from beyond the three-point line, not to mention, he still deliberately practiced shooting yesterday.
　　 Popovich’s head swings with the basketball moving in the air, and then, watching the basketball roll up the white net.
"Jimmy Butler made the first shot, and it was a good score! We don't know why Coach Dave Georg suddenly replaced Randolph with Butler, but at least from the first attack, Butler did. It played a huge role! Beautiful goals, beautiful assists, the defending champion took the lead at home!"
　　 "Damn!" Popovich whispered secretly. The Grizzlies suddenly came to such a big and four little ones, and the Spurs were not right on the defensive end!
　　 But that’s okay. Popovich believes the Spurs can get back the lost points with the inside advantage.
　　 The 2m03 Dior can defend the inside, but the Grizzlies forwards may not be able to do it.
　　 So Popovich clapped his hands on the sidelines and gestured to Parker.
　　Parker understood, and then slowed down.
　　 In this round, the Spurs want to hit the ball inside!
　　 If the Grizzlies defend Duncan with a small man, it would be suicide. But if you use a small man to defend Split, the Brazilian also has the advantage of a height wingspan as a fifth position. In any case, the Spurs have an advantage inside!
　　 Popovich touched his chin, the Spurs can't guard the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies can't guard the Spurs!
　　 After Parker slowed down halftime, Duncan and Splitter were already in place.
　　 Then people were surprised to find that Gasol, who was 2.16 meters tall, defended Duncan. And the number five in Split is defended by Link himself!
　　 Parker didn't think much about it, and hit the ball directly to Split who was in the low post.
　　 Dislocation of the fifth position to play outside, this is a perfect opportunity!
　　 In the past, it was a great disadvantage for a small man to defend the fifth position in a wrong position. For example, it's hard to imagine how Link will defend O'Neal or Yao Ming.
　　 But in this era, the superiority and dominance of the fifth player in the paint is diminishing. After receiving the ball, Splitter gave him two hits and found that he couldn't resist Link!
　　 The center's advantage in the interior has become smaller, and it can't even be dislocated. This is actually one of the reasons for the advent of the small ball era.
　　 Since big men are not dominant, then everyone simply doesn't need big men.
　　 Popovich gritted his teeth, he didn't expect this situation to happen.
　　 Link’s defense is indeed well-known. He is the best defensive team + best defensive player this year.
　　 But Link's dominance on the defensive end, like Leonard, is mostly for the outside.
　　 But now, Link has shown his defensive ability that is tenacious on the inside!
　　 Splitter's face turned red with a "swish", as an insider could not move the third position, which is indeed very embarrassing.
　　 Then, Splitter forced his turn, preparing to complete the attack with a slow three-step hook.
　　 However, Split, who averaged less than 5 shots per game in the playoffs, was not used for this. Although he is the European MVP, his offensive skills are still too rough in front of Link.
　　 Splitter dribbles the ball in front of Link, and Link looks like slow motion,
　　 Seeing the right time, Link started everything ~EbookFREE.me~ and gave Split a mistake.
　　 Link proved with practical actions that the Spurs' double heights have no advantage in front of the Grizzlies' first and fourth minors!
　　 After the steal, Link moved forward to counterattack. He just looked up and found that Jimmy Butler had rushed to the front.
　　 That Butler guy, unintentionally today is the most active player on the court.
　　 Link did not hesitate, and pushed the ball forward! The basketball passed half-court quickly and fell into Butler's hands.
　　 At this time, Butler was empty in front of him. Although Green was blocked behind him, the distance was still a little far away.
　　 So, after the three-pointer just now, Jimmy Butler showed the fans a two-handed dunk!
　　 5 to 0, the Spurs, who originally wanted to surprise the Grizzlies, are now "surprised".
　　 Looking at Popovich’s surprised expression, Link smiled contentedly.
　　 Before, Durant failed to rewrite history and still lost to the Spurs following the original history.
　　 Then, history will be rewritten today!
　　 "Borris, ready to play!" Popovich yelled at the Frenchman on the bench. He must implement his plan in advance.
