Chapter 140: Tactical Genius China Joe
At the start of the game, Brad Miller defeated the aging Sabonis to win the jump ball.
Grizzlies' first attack, Brad Miller responded with the ball in a high position, Maddy cut the ball, a breakthrough, and Sabonis, who was pulled to the mid-range position, stepped forward directly to block it, but Maddy turned around, used his speed, passed Sabonis, and faced the basket directly.
Fly up a violent buckle!
The GM arena, which has been silent, finally had a little noise, and burst into cheers, Qiao Hai also applauded, in 1999, the way the stars played was not so healthy, Vince Carter brought a burst of dunk wind, as long as there is a chance, the stars will choose to dunk, rather than a more relaxed layup.
Therefore, the NBA during this period is the most exciting, with violent dunks from various stars.
In Toronto, Vince Carter led the market in Toronto with his explosive dunks, and Joe Hai also hopes to see Maddie lead the market in Vancouver with his flowing style of play.
At the beginning, Maddie came to a violent dunk, and Vancouver TV Sports Channel commentator Philip Dress's eyes lit up and shouted: "Beautiful dunk, from our new recruit Tracy McGrady!" ”
In this game, not only did the Vancouver TV commentator broadcast the game live, but NBC also sent McBlin and Marv Albert to narrate the game, which was the first time that McBrin and Marv Albert commented on Joe's game after the finals.
Qiao Hai left the Lakers and turned around to join the Grizzlies, McBrin was also a little surprised, he always thought that Qiao Hai had achieved great success with the Lakers, as long as he waited until the end of the Finals, there would be a large number of teams to send olive branches, and Qiao Hai did not need to be in such a hurry to determine the future.
In particular, the Grizzlies are still an old and bad team, going to such a team, can Qiao Hai really prove himself?
McBrin was puzzled, at least, he thought that Qiao Hai wanted to prove himself, but he chose to be in the Grizzlies, and the difficulty increased countless times, such a choice is difficult to say correct.
On the field, the game continues.
The Trail Blazers' style of play is typical of all-hands players, with Damon Stadameyer in possession and looking around for opportunities.
Steve Smith's ability to run without the ball is very strong, crazy interspersed, small forward Detreve Schramf stood in the bottom corner, waiting for an opportunity, power forward Rasheed Wallace stuck in the middle distance, opened his hand to ask for the ball, and finally, center Avidas Sabonis took a direct step out, a cover, blocked Maddie, Steve Smith rushed out and got the opportunity to catch the ball.
Damon Studamayer passes, Steve Smith throws in the shot, bang, misses.
Brad Miller grabbed the rebound under the basket, the Grizzlies did not look for an opportunity to counterattack quickly, Brad Miller handed the ball to Mike Bibby, who slowly controlled the ball to the front court and suppressed the rhythm.
Compared with the Grizzlies' positional offense, the Trail Blazers' style of play is a bit of a fast whirlwind, but it is also understandable that Rick Adelman was playing this Kombat whirlwind when he was with the Trail Blazers, and now, Mike Dunleavy has obviously inherited this set of Kombat Whirlwind tactics.
The Grizzlies pressed down the rhythm and continued the positional battle, in the positional battle, Maddie's air cut found another opportunity, at this time, Maddie, is already different from Maddie half a month ago, the rise in the total rating makes Maddie's threat on the offensive end increase day by day, but the Trail Blazers are still defending Maddie like half a month ago, in the end, they can only swallow the bitter fruit.
After receiving the ball in the air, Maddie pulled out his hand in the middle distance, and with a bang, scored another goal!
Maddie scored four straight points in the opening game, and then Damon Stadymire made a quick break, hit the basket, and scored a layup.
This exposes the biggest problem of the Grizzlies now, they lack excellent rim players, Brad Miller is a center with a unique style, but his frame protection ability is average, defensively, Brad Miller's single defense is very good, but the help defense is very poor, so, in terms of frame protection, the Grizzlies can't count on Brad Miller.
The score on the court was 4-2, and the Grizzlies took the lead.
Next up was the Grizzlies' offense, this time Maddie didn't score, but the Grizzlies still pulled through excellent running, and scored 2 points again, this time the goal was replaced by Sharif Abdulahim, Maddy's open cut attracted the defense, but Brad Miller had a flash of inspiration and didn't pass.
As a result, after Maddie ran through the position, all the defense was taken away by him, and Raheem in the low post received the pass, turned and hooked the shot.
In this way, the Grizzlies scored in three consecutive offensive rounds.
Although the positional battle was played slowly, the running position was sharp, and the passing was also coquettish, Brad Miller pulled to the high position for three consecutive offensive rounds, which made McBlin on the commentary bench point out the Grizzlies' tactics without hesitation: "Princeton tactics, Grizzlies play Princeton tactics, incredible, what did Qiao Hai do in the summer?" Did he go to Sacramento to study with Pete Carell? ”
As we all know, the Princeton tactic was invented by Pete Carell, and this complex set of tactics has only been used by Pete Carell, and other teams have used at most a fur, but this Grizzlies is obviously not just a fur.
In the three offensive rounds, McBlin saw that although the Grizzlies' Princeton tactics were still a little rusty, and the cooperation was not so tacit, but in the three rounds of offense, the Grizzlies played Princeton tactics and played very resolutely, and he knew that Qiao Hai played Princeton tactics, definitely not a ticket, and was definitely serious about playing Princeton.
McBrin couldn't help but sigh, is Joe Hazhen a tactical genius?
Perhaps, the Princeton tactics are such a complex tactical system, Qiao Hai can actually build it single-handedly, if Qiao Hai has the help of Pete Carell, McBrin will never believe it, the reason is very simple, the Kings and Grizzlies are in the East, and it is impossible for Pete Carell to help his opponent.
Therefore, there is only one possibility, Qiao Hai is a tactical genius!
The Grizzlies' Princeton tactics were still a little rusty, but they played well in the opening, relying on Maddy's sudden power and subsequent reasonable distribution, the Grizzlies took the lead in the first quarter, 28:23, and the Grizzlies led by 5 points.
5 points behind, this is what Mike Dunleavy didn't expect, in the first quarter, he was already adjusting, in order to deal with Maddie and Mike Bibby's air cut, he directly let Sabonis stay in the penalty area, but helplessly, this adjustment was blown up at the beginning, Maddie continued to cut the ball and scored, the old Sabonis simply couldn't keep up with Maddy's speed.
So, in the second half of the first quarter, Mike Dunleavy traded Rasheed Wallace for mid-range to curb the Grizzlies' air cut.
But the Grizzlies' tactics suddenly added an air cut and a run, or a small player cutting and taking away the defender, and the players on either side slipped through the backdoor to face the basket.
In this way, the Grizzlies were non-stop attacking throughout the game, and after the first quarter, they also scored a high score of 28 points.
This kind of offense made the Grizzlies home fans addicted.
