Chapter 200: The game has just begun

Brad Miller jumped to win, and the Grizzlies opened the game.

Maddie took the ball, and there was a boo in the Air Canada arena, and the fans in Toronto were very unhappy with Maddie, who they thought had defected to Vancouver, and the better Maddie did this season, the more dissatisfied they were.

For a while, boos erupted.

On the court, Maddie also faced Doug Christie on the offensive end.

The Raptors really didn't let Carter defend Maddy, the Raptors' cultivation of Carter is to go to the star of the house, in the Raptors, Carter only needs to focus on offense.

The Grizzlies are different, although Maddie is also cultivated as the Grizzlies' leading star, but Maddie also needs to take care of defense, Qiao Hai will not let Maddie focus on offense, and waste defense, Qiao Hai knows that a superstar who can achieve results must be good both offensively and defensively.

There are very few superstars in history who have achieved success, and after Maddy joined the Magic in later life, although he focused on offense and played the best performance of his career, the team's record was not good, and then he transferred to the Rockets, and he failed to succeed in the playoffs throughout his career, which was actually caused by Maddy's gradual neglect of defense after the Magic focused on offense.

Maddie is a star who is good both offensively and defensively, and Joe will not let Maddy lose this trait of being good offensively and defensively.

Maddie arced up to Doug Christie, Brad Miller gave a screen, and then, Maddie accelerated and rushed in.

The head coach of the Raptors this season is named Butch Carter, who has the same name as Carter, but is not related to Carter.

Butch Carter is a coach who has not made achievements in history, and his coaching resume only includes three seasons of coaching experience with the Raptors, although he has led the Raptors to improve year after year, but obviously, Butch Carter has not done enough.

His level is noticeably low, his offense is heavily reliant on Carter and Steve Francis, and his defensive end is only play-to-man defensively.

The Raptors have such an excellent lineup, so far, their offense and defense are in the middle of the league, if it weren't for Carter being strong enough to help the Raptors win a few games with a tight score, maybe the current Raptors would have been away from the playoffs.

On the court, Maddie covered over, accelerated, and threw off Doug Christie, the Raptors' defense was very slow, and Maddie made a dry pull in the middle distance and scored 2 points first.

The Raptors attacked, the ball went to Steve Francis, and Ragabel stuck to him.

Soon, Carter went around the sideline to the top of the arc, received a pass from Francis, and singled Maddie one-on-one at the top of the arc.

Grizzlies' defense, Qiao Hai did not arrange a pinch attack, his idea is very simple, either Carter one-on-one singles to score points, or Carter one-on-one can not score, and he can't share the ball with his teammates, in the face of this kind of team that is extremely dependent on superstars, Qiao Hai's defensive strategy is simple and rough.

The star of the single defense opponent and the role player of the opponent are very simple routines.

Carter singles, Maddie singles, cousins face to face, Maddie is full of hard work, when he left Toronto, what he was waiting for was the day when he wanted to prove himself in front of his cousin.

In the Raptors, Maddie entered the league earlier than Carter, but was not valued by the team, but Carter, who joined the team the next season, was highly used and directly became the pride of the sky.

Leaving the Raptors and joining the Grizzlies, Maddie is also holding back a lot of energy, although before playing the Raptors, Maddy has almost proven himself, but the real way to prove himself is to beat Carter one-on-one.

Carter's offense was a bit struggling, and every lateral move of Maddie was just right to block Carter's breakout.

Carter swooped twice, and seeing that the Grizzlies had no intention of pinching, he could only turn his back on one side, lean on Maddie, and pass the ball while there was still time.

Steve Francis received the ball, made a quick turn, took a step inside, and added a step-back jumper, Francis shot straight away.

Bang, miss.

In the first round of the opening game, the Raptors showed the Grizzlies all their offensive routines, Carter singled, and if it didn't work, they would change to Steve Francis single, anyway, the two took turns to play singles, and Kevin Willis on the inside could also play alone, but the efficiency was much worse.

Anyway, it's all singles, and if the opponent is in the middle, pass the ball immediately.

But obviously, as a rookie, Francis still has a lot of problems, the Raptors gave Francis enough ball, in exchange for a variety of wayward shots Francis, I have to admit that Francis's scoring is very explosive, and the individual offense has also been played, but the Raptors' training method is obviously wrong.

Francis' wayward shot will cause a lot of damage to the team, which Butch Carter ignores and only thinks about using the individual abilities of the perimeter twins.

In the end, it may be that Francis incarnates Van Exel, becoming a cancer for the team.

Of course, the current Francis is not Van Exel, Qiao Hai just thinks that the Raptors continue to cultivate Francis like this, and Francis will become Van Exel in the future.

On the contrary, it is the Grizzlies' way of cultivating Sean Marion that has always been Qiao Hai's pride, and slowly, Sean Marion has become a reliable fixed point shooter on the outside of the Grizzlies, and will continue to strengthen his projection in the future, and Marion will become a top off-ball master plus a fixed-point jumper.

Coupled with Qiao Hai's emphasis on cultivating co-defense and single defense, Sean Marion will be even better and stronger than in his previous life.

In contrast, Qiao Hai's use of Sean Marion is the correct way to cultivate: step by step, without pulling out the seedlings to help grow.

On the court, Francis threw a goal, and the rebound was won by Sean Marion, this is an interesting scene, a leader, a No. 5 rookie, the two are considered to have swapped teams, although the opening is not a direct duel, but Francis hit the iron, Marion grabbed the rebound, one loss and one positive, obviously Marion scored 1 point first.

Looking at Maddie and Carter again, Maddy scored 2 points in the opening game, Carter failed to beat Maddie alone, and it was obviously Maddie who scored 1 point first.

In the opening game, one offense and one defense, the Grizzlies' Madiga Shawn Marion dominated across the board......

Then, the Grizzlies' offense, Marion's push for a fast break failed, the Grizzlies Princeton attacked, Brad Miller passed a good ball, Maddie received the ball on the other sideline and broke through quickly, attracted the pinch and then divided the ball, Mike Bibby in the bottom corner made a three-point shot and missed!

The rebound was won by Antonio Davis, and the Raptors played a wave of counterattacks, this time it was Carter who took the ball to attack, Carter beat Maddy, turned his back and jumped, causing Maddy to foul and go to the free throw line and hit both free throws.

The Raptors drew 2-2 with the Grizzlies, and Carter also pulled back a point.

Obviously, the two teams are evenly divided, Carter and Maddie are also evenly divided, and for them, the game has just begun......
