On the afternoon of March 25, the Spurs arrived at the FedEx Forum in Memphis to prepare for the next day's game through training.

The intensity of the training wasn't high; it mainly revolved around practicing Duncan's movements.

After completing a set, Zhang Yang was subbed out and approached Popovich, saying, "Greg, the group training next door might be our first-round opponents."

Indeed, he had come to Popovich to drop a hint.

"Hmm?" Popovich glanced at Zhang Yang with a puzzled look, then turned back to watch the court, responding, "Jack, you're still too young. Although you have great basketball talent, your judgment of team strength is still lacking. The Grizzlies, although they don't have a higher average winning margin than the Hornets, are good defensively. At this stage, they will definitely perform better than the Hornets. The Grizzlies will be the seventh seed in the West, and our first-round opponent will be the Hornets."
