Bang!

With a muffled thud, the basketball hit the rebound and bounced high.

Tim Duncan leaped forward, spread his big hand, and picked up the rebound.

There was a sigh in the GM arena.

"Tracy McGrady's shot is lost again! This is the crucial goal! The goal was not scored, and the Spurs led by 5 points, and they had a chance to widen the difference! On the commentary bench, McBrin frowned.

"Maddy's form in this game was terrible, I look at the stats, oh no, he's made 22 shots and only hit six."

Mav Albert glanced at the technical stats and shook his head.

On the court, the Spurs fought back to score two points, and their lead extended to seven points.

"There are only 2 minutes left in the game, Maddie is still playing iron, Qiao Hai should make some changes."

On the sidelines, Qiao Hai's hands in his pockets were raised, his two index fingers were put together, and he blew with a puff of air and let out a sharp whistle.

On the court, the eyes of all the Grizzlies players were attracted by Qiao Hai.

Qiao Hai raised three fingers, which looked like an OK gesture.

On the court, the Grizzlies were quick to make changes.

Billups took the ball once and missed a pullup jumper.

Watching the Spurs expand the point difference with another fast break, Qiao Hai knew that this game was far away.

At the critical moment, the Grizzlies' main force had no feel and couldn't shoot, which was the worst problem, Qiao Hai had tried his best, and in the case of Maddy's poor hand, he used the strong side to stack the defense, and bit the score to the end, only 5 points behind.

However, at the critical moment, Maddie continued to hit iron.

Even Mr. Billups, the key man, is not critical.

With a difference of 9 minutes and 1 minute and 30 seconds, Qiao Hai called a timeout.

"Alright, Tracy, Chaunse, come down and rest......"

During this timeout, Qiao Hai only kept Raheem and replaced him in other positions.

On the commentary bench, McBrin sighed: "The Grizzlies have changed to the bench, and they are going to give up this game." ”

"After a minute and a half of nine points, there is really no hope." Mafu Albert nodded and followed.

When the Grizzlies were replaced by the bench, the GM arena still booed, and after the boos, there was silence.

A minute and a half passed quickly, because the Grizzlies gave up early, the Spurs were consuming time, and they quickly ran out of time, and in the end, the Grizzlies lost 90-97.

In the first game of the second round of the playoffs, the Grizzlies lost to the Spurs in the home game, and the total score became 0:1, and the Grizzlies fell behind, but fortunately, the second round of the playoffs has become a best-of-7 system, although they lost one, the Grizzlies still have enough chances to play back, so everyone just feels frustrated and has not lost hope.

In Qiao Hai's opinion, this game is very worthless to lose.

Because the Spurs have not yet played their hole cards, in this game, the Spurs attacked the entire position, but only added some counterattacks, which is a small change.

The Grizzlies lost to their poor form, and Joe Hai thought about it and always felt that if Maddy hadn't been in such bad shape, Maddy would have made three or four more shots, and then the Grizzlies would have won.

It's a pity that there are no ifs.

Losing the first game, the Grizzlies were trampled.

Qiao Hai completely ignored the disturbances of the outside world, because the series had just begun, and now it was stepped on, and if it was won back, these media would also change it.

However, after playing the first game, the next day's training made Qiao Hai happy.

Maddie's training state was wrong, he seemed absent-minded during the warm-up exercise, and the shooting training behind him was unusually too much iron, so in the afternoon, Qiao Hai arranged an intra-team match.

In the intra-team confrontation, Maddie was still in poor shape, and was defended a little miserably by Rajabel, and continued to hit iron, and the main team almost lost the intra-team confrontation because of this.

Seeing this, Qiao Hai knew in his heart that the status card in the system inventory should come in handy.

Everyone has times when they are not in good shape, but unfortunately, when Maddy is not in good shape, the Grizzlies are playing in the Western Conference semifinals, and a bad Maddy, it is difficult for the Grizzlies to win against the Spurs, so Qiao Hai must make Maddy's state better, so that in the next home game, the Grizzlies have a chance to pull one back.

After the match, Qiao Hai did not rush to use the status card, but found Maddie.

"Tracy, can you tell me why you weren't in good shape in the last game and you haven't adjusted until today?" In a corner of the arena, Joe Hay pulls Maddie to talk.

Maddie hesitated.

Qiao Hai suddenly became stern: "Tracy, you know, we can beat the San Antonios, we have proven that in the last game of the regular season, but your poor form has affected the team, if your form is still so bad, I think you will not have to play in the next game." ”

Today's day's training made Qiao Hai feel that something was wrong with Maddie, very wrong.

Something must have happened to Maddie, so Qiao Hai is asking, "Tell me, Tracy, what happened to you?" ”

Maddie hesitated before she spoke, "I feel a dull pain in my back, so I don't dare to ...... with all my strength."

At this time, Qiao Hai was in a hurry.

"A dull pain in your back? Why didn't you say it sooner? ”

Turning his head, Qiao Hai shouted: "Byron, call Fred to me!" ”

Fred Hazard, he is the Grizzlies' team doctor, he has been working here since the Grizzlies were founded, Maddy's back injury, this is no joke, if something really goes wrong, even if the playoffs are not played, Qiao Hai will let Maddie recuperate.

Therefore, Qiao Hai attaches great importance to it.

Fred Hazard arrived soon, and listening to Maddie's description, Fred Hazard finally made a judgment: "Joe, give Tracy a half-day off, I think he needs a detailed examination." ”

Qiao Hai nodded: "Okay, Tracy, follow Fred!" ”

Maddie didn't want to go yet, but Qiao Hai's expression was very serious, if Maddie didn't go, he would be angry.

So, Maddie could only reluctantly follow Fred Hazard away, and the two drove to the municipal hospital not far away.

Hearing that Maddie might be injured, the atmosphere in the entire Grizzlies training gym was not good, and everyone had cold faces, frowning, and didn't know what to say.

The same is true for Baron Scott, he knows that Maddy has a history of back injuries, and last season, Maddy missed a lot of games because of a back injury, so Baron Scott is worried that the Grizzlies without Maddy will not want to beat the Spurs at all.

Everyone knows that Maddy is the core of the Grizzlies' outside line, so all opponents will put a lot of defensive energy into pinching Maddy, even in the last game, Maddy's state is so bad, the Spurs have invested a lot of troops to limit Maddie.

Without one Maddie, the Spurs' defense will be more calm, and the Grizzlies will be more miserable.

So, Maddie is indispensable.

Qiao Hai is helpless, if Maddie really has a back injury, he can only give up this playoff trip, a difficult playoffs, a possible championship, compared to Maddie's health, he still feels that the latter is more important, because...... It's Maddie's back injury! If there is no back injury, Maddie will go further with Da Yao, and if there is no back injury, Maddie, who claims to have potential close to Jordan, will achieve even more.

Everything went wrong, Maddie just had a back injury, and because he didn't pay attention to it in the early part of his career, it affected Maddie's entire career in the later stage.
