Swish!

The ball goes in.

5:5 Draw!

On the sidelines, Qiao Hai sat back again, with three words written on his face: mmp!

Popovich's stealing ability is top-notch, and it has only been about a month since the last game and the last meal, and the Spurs have played the Spurs version of the hammer tactic, and it looks like they have been practicing for a long time.

The Grizzlies serve in the backcourt, and Billups advances to the frontcourt with the ball.

Qiao Hai didn't have time to watch the results of the Grizzlies' offensive wave, and he held his chin and thought about how to make adjustments on the defensive end.

On the court, the Grizzlies attack.

Maddie finally got the ball, three threats in the high post, pulled away on the strong side, and looked like he was going to play alone.

There was a cheer from the sidelines.

"Maddie is going to play singles, except for a fast break in the opening game, this is Maddie's second time to get the ball in this game, and it is also his first single after his comeback, after being out of action for 3 months with a serious injury, does Maddie still have the ability to break a defensive line by himself?"

Before the words fell, Maddie immediately changed direction, and Derek Anderson was born.

Derek Anderson's footsteps moved quickly, and a lateral move kept up with Maddie's.

"Oh, the first step! Maddie's first step failed to pass Derek Anderson! ”

Popovich on the sidelines has been staring at every move on the field, and when he saw this scene, he secretly clenched his fist! Derek Anderson! Excellent!

Derrick Anderson followed in the footsteps of Maddy, which proved the success of the Spurs' reinforcements this season, a Bruce Bowen, a Derrick Anderson, directly made the Spurs' weak outside line no longer weak.

Maddie failed to pass Derek Anderson in the first step, and the next few steps only opened up a little space with Derek Anderson, and with this space, he directly pulled out his hand in the middle distance!

Bang!

Shoot the iron again!

Duncan grabbed the rebound as soon as possible, and the Grizzlies had to retreat.

It seems that Maddie's state is average, or he has not yet recovered to his peak, and there was a sigh in the commentary seat: "Maddie's first step has not been fast, I don't know if it is the reason why his state has not returned to his peak." ”

"It's also possible that this big injury has made him no longer have the explosive power he once had......"

Qiao Hai took one last look at the result, and the ball didn't go in.

Qiao Hai didn't care about Maddie's failure to pass the opponent in one step, he knew very well that Maddie's injury was adjusted by the injury card, and it would not affect Maddie's explosiveness.

It may have been just an accident, but it's more likely – because Maddie hasn't been in great form since he just made his comeback......

But soon, Qiao Hai understood that Maddie's condition was not not excellent, but very bad......

After Maddie hit two in a row, the Spurs' offense failed to score.

The two teams are fighting each other, and the game looks intense, but in fact, they are almost a bit of a rookie pecking at each other, but the difference is that although the Grizzlies have done a good job defensively, the Spurs' offense has gradually improved.

Grizzlies' offense, Billups gets the ball, Maddie runs out of a chance, very strong for the ball.

Billups gave it straight away.

As a result, Maddie jumped, and Derrick Anderson's return defense was a step too late, and with a bang, the ball still didn't go in.

Hit three irons in a row, this ball was still a shot with a chance, but the result was still missed, Maddy's state was really not good, the Spurs took this opportunity to fight back, Duncan hit 2 points in the middle distance, 7:5, and the Spurs overtook the score.

After Maddie hit three irons in a row, she seems to have recognized the current situation.

Although he was also asking for the ball on the court, it was not as strong as before, and even if he got the ball, even if he had a chance in the middle and long distance, Maddie didn't shoot, and he was thinking about hitting the basket and scoring from close range.

He wanted to get his touch back first.

But during this time, the Spurs' offense exploded, and Popovich's hammer tactic, although it was used for the first time, was effective, and after Bruce Bowen hit a three-pointer in the opening game, the Spurs began to get into the groove.

Duncan hit a mid-range shot to take the lead.

Then, Derrick Anderson cut to the ground for a layup and scored two more points as the Spurs extended their lead.

In the end, it was Derrick Anderson, who went straight to the basket through the cover, attracted the pinch and then distributed the ball to the outside, and Antonio Daniels, who started the game, received the ball and hit a three-pointer!

Between those three goals, the Grizzlies scored only one goal, and it was Raheem's mid-range shot.

The score suddenly became 12:7, and the Spurs led by 5 points, Qiao Hai did not hesitate, got up directly, and called a timeout.

This timeout was called, Qiao Hai's purpose was not to adjust the offense, although Maddie was in poor shape, he was still able to create a threat when he was there, so for the time being, the Grizzlies did not need to make substitutions.

What the Grizzlies urgently need to adjust is defense.

After the Spurs sacrificed the hammer tactic, the Grizzlies could not blindly stack the strong side, and if they continued to play like this, the Spurs were destined to have more and more opportunities.

"Let's change our defensive tactics a little bit."

Qiao Hai picked up a tactical board and quickly arranged it: "Let's play three-two joint defense instead, jam their empty cutting route, hold the three-point line, and don't let them shoot easily." ”

Three-two joint defense is aimed at defending those teams that have projections on the periphery of the ball, the third position is liberated and placed in the middle, and the two interior players are on both sides of the three-second zone, once the opponent breaks through, the third player can retreat, and the two-three joint defense is formed in an instant.

Therefore, the advantage of this joint defensive formation is that it can restrain the opponent's breakthrough and peripheral projection.

The pause ended quickly.

After the timeout, the Grizzlies' offense, they first scored 2 points through Billups' mid-range shot, 9:12, and the margin was 3 points remaining.

The Spurs' offense, they were met by the Grizzlies' recalibrated defense.

Derrick Anderson broke through and was immediately stuck by Sean Marion's supplementary defense, Maddie also switched defenses, and the Grizzlies didn't even leave any space for the Spurs, obviously, in this game, Qiao Hai really focused on the defensive end, and he listened to Brad Stevens' advice.

The Grizzlies' offense, Maddie is still on the floor, and he's starting to adjust.

The first step is to get the ball, and he looks at the basket.

The Grizzlies habitually pull the strong side so much that Maddie has only one Derrick Anderson in front of him, plus a David Robinson who is guarding the basket.

Maddie gritted his teeth, in this game, his long-range shooting was not good, and he was already 3 shots and 0 hits, so this ball, his goal is to go to the basket!

With a lunge, Maddie instantly sped up!

This step is already his peak, so after one step, Derek Anderson couldn't react and was left behind directly!

"Maddie's breakthrough! He passed Derek Anderson in the first step! This is the pinnacle of T-mac! ”

Then, Maddie went straight to the penalty area!

David Robinson defended it directly, and under the basket, the two collided together.

Beep beep!

The referee blew the whistle, and in the confrontation, Maddie threw the ball to the basket, and with a bang, it didn't go in, and it still didn't go in!

But after landing, the referee pointed to David Robinson: "Shooting foul!" ”

Maddie raised her hands to the deafening cheers of the GM Arena......

"Maddie is finally going to score!"
