Reverse Growth Superstar

After the time came to the end of April, the first round of the playoffs was basically over. The summer gets closer and the temperature gets hotter. And the fight in the NBA has become feverish.

In the East, the teams that should be promoted have basically been promoted. The Bulls with Rose eliminated the Pacers 4-1, and fans want Drake Rose to be the MVP.

Like the Grizzlies, the fifth eagle in the east counterattacked the fourth magic. "Warcraft" Howard was eliminated in the first round, which pushed him to the forefront.

The Celtics eliminated the Knicks 4-0 early, and the combination of Anthony and Stoudemire still needs time to settle. The second in the East, the Heat eliminated the 76ers 4-1, and the new and old Big Three will face off in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

The Western Conference won a terrible 61 wins for the Spurs in the regular season and eliminated the Hornets 4-2. Chris Paul broke again in the playoffs, which has increased the rumors about his trade.

The Mavericks defeated the Nuggets 4-2, and the Texans are still heading for the championship.

The Lakers downed the Trail Blazers 4-2, and the defending champion reached the second round entirely in people's expectations.

Of course, the most talked about here in the West is the Grizzlies' counterattack against the Thunder series.

The Black and White Bears, Link, Conley and even Mayo have become the most discussed players.

The Grizzlies will meet the Spurs in the second round, which makes fans feel excited. At this time, countless media and fans believe that the Grizzlies can continue to perform miracles.

"In the face of the Spurs, who have won 61 wins in the regular season, can the Grizzlies fall to the end? I want to answer yes!"

"It's not that the Grizzlies can't climb to the Western Conference Finals. Although their regular season record is not that amazing, they only rank fifth in the Western Conference. But after the first round, I think everyone believes that the Grizzlies are definitely one of the most difficult teams in the Western Conference. !"

"Among the Spurs' inside players, McDyess is too old, the Brazilian Splitter is too young, and Blair is too short. Although Duncan is still strong, I am afraid he can beat four hands with one punch. The Grizzlies occupy a huge amount of inside. Advantage!"

"The Spurs can get the first place in the regular season this season and can defeat the Hornets, mainly relying on the outstanding performance of Parker and Ginobili. But the bad news is that the Grizzlies' perimeter defense and interior defense are equally tight. Battier Together with Tony Allen, who tortured Kobe in the finals, the Grizzlies already have two perimeter iron gates. On this basis, with the rise of Conley and Durant's 14-for-3 Link, let The Grizzlies have a very deep defense depth. Therefore, the Spurs offense may encounter severe challenges!"

Of course, some people support the Grizzlies, and naturally some people support the Spurs. After all, the Spurs are No. 1 in the Western Conference, a veteran powerhouse, sitting on the three big stars of Duncan, Parker and Manu. In terms of popularity, the Grizzlies and the Spurs cannot be compared.

"There is no doubt that even though the Spurs' playing style is gradually shifting from defense to offense, and the offensive focus has shifted from the inside to the outside, Duncan's mainstay role is still unshakable. He is still one of the best fours in the league. Randolph, the Grizzlies’ first scoring point, is on Duncan’s head and may not necessarily have the advantage."

"The Spurs have the strongest team and the most wise coach. The Grizzlies can win the Thunder, because the Thunder are too young and inexperienced. But with the Spurs, the Grizzlies can't take advantage of this!"

Before the series started, the supporters of the two teams had already started a "keyboard war".

This makes the Grizzlies vs. Spurs game become much-anticipated before it starts. It can be said that the heat even surpasses the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers!

Because at this time, many people still believe that the Lakers can get rid of the team led by the German "softer"...

"It looks like we are completely on fire, Link." Sitting on the bus to the hotel, Randolph flipped over newspaper after newspaper. This is the first time in history that Randolph and his team have become highly anticipated because of positive news.

Well, Randolph used to receive attention, often because he got into trouble.

"We are one of the four strongest teams in the West, can we not be popular?" Link looked at the streets of San Antonio, and he finally came.

Unexpectedly, although he rushed to fifth in the Western Conference, he and the Spurs still couldn't stagger. Destiny is sometimes so magical.

"Yeah, one of the four strongest teams in the West... Then you say, how would it feel if we become the two strongest teams in the West?" Randolph looked at the sky. , And then turned to look at Link.

"Maybe after a few games, we can know that feeling. You are facing Tim Duncan. Your scoring in this series may not be so smooth."

"Chee, it's just a 35-year-old man. Don't worry, Tim's time is over. The No. 1 Spurs in the Western Conference, we have not won the regular season." Randolph laughed jokingly, he said. It's not that Yelang is arrogant, but Duncan's state is really not so good this season.

This season, Duncan's statistics have fallen to a career low. Scored an average of 13.4 points per game, the lowest. He averaged 2.7 assists per game, the lowest. Averaged 8.9 rebounds per game. This is the first time Duncan's career averaged rebounds without double figures.

The same is true in the playoffs. Duncan averaged 12.7 points per game. Compared with 19 points last season, it was a cliff-edge drop.

This season, Duncan averaged only 11.3 points and 8.7 rebounds per game against the Grizzlies, shooting less than 42% from the field. This kind of data can make Duncan seem not threatened.

People think that Duncan is no longer dominant because of his age. Including Randolph, think so too.

But Link knew that Duncan was in good shape. In the future, he can even lead the Spurs and Heat to compete for the championship.

One of the reasons why Duncan seems to be lonely this year is because his fasciitis is bothering him. But the most important reason is that the Spurs are in a transition period. During this period, Popovich planned to use Parker and Ginobili to rule the offense. Duncan was restricted everywhere, and his offensive shots and possessions were greatly reduced.

But in fact, Duncan was far from falling to the bottom. As long as Duncan gets serious, he is still powerful.

Just look at how much David West struggled when the Spurs beat the Hornets, and you know how stable Duncan is.

"Don't take it lightly, Zach. I still said that. Your opponent is Tim Duncan. On the offensive end, you must be more cautious."

Link reminded again, but Randolph didn't care too much about what he said, he felt that the kid was a little nervous.

At noon that day, the Grizzlies participated in the training in the training hall of the ATT Center. In the afternoon, the Spurs and the Grizzlies had to do fitness training separately on the playing field.

Perhaps it was because the preparations were too serious. When the Grizzlies players entered the official playing field, several Spurs players who participated in the last round of adaptive training have not left and are still being interviewed by reporters. And among these people, there is Tim Duncan!

Link looked at Duncan, at the floor under his feet. Not surprisingly, the Grizzlies should have no problem winning the Spurs, but they are afraid of accidents! Once history changes a bit, the subsequent changes will be huge ~ www.readwn.com ~ With the first round of reference, the Spurs may have studied the Grizzlies in advance and come up with coping strategies. After all, since the Spurs were hacked in 2011, every time the Spurs beat the Grizzlies, they have learned a lot.

In short, even Link doesn't know what will happen in this round of the series. If you want to retreat in the ATT center, the difficulty will certainly not be less than the first round.

The Grizzlies players did not bother the Spurs players, so they gathered in one half to adapt to the court. Relatively speaking, the atmosphere of the two teams is fairly friendly.

A few minutes later, the Spurs players retired, and the reporters turned their targets to the Grizzlies players.

Today, the reporters were not the first to find Link, but Randolph! Randolph was also a little flattered. Why did he suddenly become a fanatic? Randolph is really unaccustomed to being so popular with reporters.

But after listening to the reporters' questions, Randolph's smiling face disappeared instantly. It turned out that the reporters came to him so actively not because of him, but because of Duncan!

"Just now, Tim Duncan said in an interview,'The Grizzlies feel that they have an advantage against us, so they are not afraid. Now that they are going to meet us as they wish, let's just take a look.' What do you think of Mu’s remarks, Zach!"

The smile on Randolph's face swept away, and Link, who was eavesdropping on the side, laughed.

It turns out that the "stone man" is also angry. Link must admit that this is the first time he has seen Duncan say such things in front of the media.

It seems that this round of the series, Randolph will not be too good.

If Randolph really encounters Duncan's strict defense, then Link will have to take on a bigger task of scoring...
