The third quarter went to war.

Qiao Hai and Larry Bird stood on the sidelines at the same time, and this scene was filmed by reporters.

Obviously, the war of words in this game made the coach the focus of the game, and the game seemed to be very intense, although it was a bit of a rookie pecking at each other, but the anxiety of the score was in front of him.

The game restarted with the Pacers attacking first.

On the court, the Pacers' five players are point guard Travis Best, shooting guard Reggie Miller, small forward Jalen Rose, power forward Al Harrington and center Dale Davis.

Travis Best carried Billups' defense inside, one turned around Billups and hit the basket directly, Brad Miller pounced, Dale Davis who missed the inside, Best passed, Davis turned and made a layup, Brad Miller defended and pulled Davis down.

Fouled, Davis walked to the free throw line and hit one of two free throws to make it 48:50, and the Pacers still trailed by two points.

The Grizzlies' offense, Brad Miller responded high, and they reverted to a slow-paced Princeton offense, with Maddie and Sean Marion cutting in the air, but Chauncy Billups suddenly arced over the screen, received a pull-up jump shot, and missed.

This is arranged by Qiao Hai, since he chose to let Billups appear at a critical moment, he has to let Billups play, but obviously, Billups's ball-holding shot still has to be practiced.

The ball didn't go in, the rebound was won by Dale Davis desperately, he couldn't do it if he didn't work hard, and if he didn't work hard, Larry Bird was going to call a timeout to spray him.

The Pacers won the rebound, Travis Best continued to break through with the ball in the frontcourt, and AlHarrington covered with a pick-and-roll screen, blocked the catch, and made a long-range shot that didn't score.

Qiao Hai still has some understanding of AlHarrington, who came off the bench, this product can play two positions, the third and fourth positions, has excellent shooting, the range is far beyond the three-point line, the scoring explosiveness is very strong, and even has the ability to respond to the organization of the outside line.

Qiao Hai thought about trading Harrington over as a substitute, but he didn't have any chips in his hand, so he could only give up for the time being.

This is AlHarrington's second season, and he has already shown some talent for long-range shooting, playing in the main rotation with the Pacers, and it is said that Larry Bird is very optimistic about AlHarrington, believing that after Rick Schmitz is old, AlHarrington will succeed him in the fourth position.

So at a critical moment in the third quarter, Alharington had to go on the court to provide outside firepower.

But as soon as he opened the pitch, AlHarrington didn't score.

The rebound was won by the Grizzlies, and when he turned around, he played a fast attack counterattack, the Pacers retreated quickly, Maddy received the ball, and facing Jalen Rose's defense was a three-point shot.

Qiao Hai shook his head helplessly, and could only stand up and applaud.

Maddy hit a three-pointer to give the score 53-48 and a five-point lead.

The Pacers attacked, Jaylen Rose and Alhallington blocked and dismantled, after a single block, Alhallenton dribbled a shot and cut the basket with his back, but Jaylen Rose suddenly shot outside, bang, and didn't score.

Just as Alhallington rushed into the inside line, he was about to grab the board.

Sean Marion sprang out from the side, grabbed the first step, and grabbed the rebound into his arms.

The Pacers quickly retreated again, they were beaten by the Grizzlies countless times in this game, they were already a little scared, and they knew to take precautions, and they lost the rebounds, and the Pacers immediately retreated, without hesitation at all, which is also the result of Larry Bird's emphasis several times.

But now that the Grizzlies have slowed down their tempo, it doesn't matter if the fast attack counterattack fails.

Brad Miller responded up front and gave the ball to the low post.

Raheem singled in the low post, Maddie cut diagonally from the side, took the basketball, and scored another 2 points with a dry pull-out in a stoppage.

55:48, 7 points lead.

The Pacers attacked, Travis Best took the ball to the frontcourt, or blocked, he broke into the interior with the ball, attracted the defense and then distributed the ball to Reggie Miller on the side, Reggie Miller shot, shook Maddie, and shot Maddie again but an amazing second jump, but this time Maddie jumped a little fiercely and couldn't hold it back.

Although Reggie Miller's shot missed, it caused Maddy's foul.

The Conseco Arena was full of exclamations, and Larry Bird was also a little surprised, this Maddie, whose physical fitness is too strong, jumped continuously, and almost blocked this ball.

Coupled with Maddy's previous 5 consecutive points, Larry Bird suddenly felt that Maddie was the biggest threat to the Grizzlies.

So, after Reggie Miller hit both free throws, the Grizzlies' offense struck again, Brad Miller responded with a high position, Maddie cut in the air, and Larry Bird shouted twice on the sidelines: "Lock him up!" Don't let him catch the ball! Lock him up! ”

Jalen Rose didn't dare to make a mistake and stared at Maddie.

Maddie rushed to the middle distance, and suddenly ran back, Jaylen Rose yelled badly, and reflexively chased it, but Maddie had already received the ball on the outside, and the two-point shot from a long distance, Jaylen Rose pounced far away, without the slightest interference.

Bang, it's in again!

7 points in a row! At 57:50, the Grizzlies led by seven points.

Larry Bird's face is almost dark, what about the third quarter showdown? said that the third quarter overtook the score, a wave of decisive victory?

Looking at it now, the Grizzlies have the meaning of opening up the point difference in the third quarter and locking up the victory.

Larry Bird looked at Maddy, and he suddenly felt that the Pacers needed a strong wing defender, and Jalen Rose's defense was okay, but it was far from being strong, perhaps, trade?

The game was still going on, and while the Pacers were attacking, Larry Bird thought about it.

Reggie Miller missed a long-range shot, and it was time for the Grizzlies to attack.

Larry Bird shouted again, and Qiao Hai shook his head and smiled.

Maddie's outburst Qiao Hai didn't expect it, but Qiao Hai is also happy to see Maddie's outburst, and when the time comes to December, Maddie's total rating has broken 90, 90 points, which means that Maddie is already a superstar outside scorer.

Qiao Hai thought about it, and after waiting for two weeks, he would add a few singles tactics to Maddie and give full play to Maddie's strong point.

However, in this game, Maddie's role has already been revealed.

As soon as he got the ball, Larry Bird yelled that the Pacers had to wrap it up.

Maddie's passing is again something that cannot be ignored, one pass is one chance.

In this way, at the beginning of the third quarter, the Grizzlies went on a wave of 15:5 and quickly stretched the difference to 13 points.

Then, in the second half of the third quarter, the Grizzlies grinded and grinded at a slow pace, and the difference became 20 points.

An unexpected match.

After garbage time in the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies won 99-82.

A surprise victory......

Maddie exploded, scoring 37 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals alone, and a superstar was rising.
