In less than 2 minutes, Spurs had the ball.

Duncan didn't dare to shoot directly, and took the ball alone.

The Grizzlies just don't flank shots, and they believe in Sean Marion's defense.

In terms of height, Marion does not have an advantage, but he has long arms to make up for his shortcomings, plus he is more flexible, Duncan did not score several shots, obviously despised Marion's defense, and made him pay the price, the Grizzlies did not pinch the attack, and Duncan could not pass the opportunity, so he took two steps inside with his back to the inside.

Turning his head and glancing at the basket, the 45° mid-range, this position is Duncan's most stable and accurate shooting position.

Turn around and shake off Sean Marion, 45° hit the board, huh! Hit!

As soon as Duncan scored this goal, the Spurs were a little more stable.

Popovich breathed a sigh of relief, but turned his head to see that the Grizzlies served from the baseline, and it was Maddie who took the ball.

Maddie rushed to the front court with the ball, and now he felt hot, asked for a cover, turned and rushed into the three-point line, and with an acceleration, Mario Alley was thrown away by him.

After a pull-up jumper, Maddie narrowed the gap to 5 points with the same bang.

Duncan made a strong throw in the frontcourt, flew to Sean Marion, Brad Miller pounced on the defense, Duncan passed, David Robinson jumped up, but was interfered with by Raheem on the side and did not score.

Time was running out, Maddie was in a hurry, rushed to the front court with the ball, Popovich looked worried, and soon, he was taken aback.

Rushing to the frontcourt, Maddie pulled out three points against the defense, Mario Aley's defense was in place, but with a bang, the basketball smashed on the neck of the basket and bounced into the basket!

Ball in! Three points!

"Three points! Entered! With 1 minute left in the game, Tracy McGrady made a crucial three-pointer, and the Grizzlies only trailed by 2 points! ”

The Spurs served in the backcourt and Avery Johnson began to control the time.

Duncan took the ball in the middle distance, this ball Duncan was a little afraid to shoot, a very critical shot, if he didn't score, the Grizzlies would have a chance to kill.

Therefore, Duncan leaned on Marion, singled with his back, and pushed Marion into the inner line, and when he reached his safest position, he turned around, first faked the shot, Marion was not fooled, and then gritted his teeth and forced the shot, or 45 degrees to hit the board.

With a bang, the ball smashes into the basket and goes in!

The Alamo Dome was cheering, and Popovich breathed a sigh of relief.

With more than 30 seconds and a 4-point difference, the Grizzlies have a slim chance.

The Spurs boldly pressed all over the court, but the Grizzlies quickly moved the ball to the frontcourt, and time was wasted a little, Maddie made a quick shot in the frontcourt, grabbed another three-pointer before the clock left 24 seconds!

Popovich stood up suddenly, but at the same time, with a thud!

"Riding in again!" Popovich exploded! His face was full of shock.

He was really shocked, in the last three minutes, Maddie first added a three-pointer and a two-pointer to narrow the gap to 5 points, then a pull-up jump shot, snatched back 2 points, and finally, two direct three-pointers in a row, all hit, and the 10-point lead was only 1 point in an instant.

With a little more than 26 seconds left, even if the Spurs run out of 24 seconds, the Grizzlies have a chance to kill the game.

Unless the Spurs bet on three points, score a three-pointer and regain a four-point lead.

But as strong as Zhuge Vic, he didn't dare to bet on three points at this time, so he could only let the team ensure the shooting rate and try to score as much as possible, the first thing to ensure is that even if the Grizzlies are given a chance to kill, don't give the Grizzlies a chance to win the game directly.

Either the Grizzlies fail to kill, or the Grizzlies make a successful kill, tie the score, and go into overtime.

The idea is good, but the action is different.

The Spurs attacked, Avery Johnson consumed time, Duncan was stuck in the middle distance, Avery Johnson wanted to pass the ball in, but as soon as the ball started, Mike Bibby was nervous, and reached out directly to break the ball and touched Avery Johnson's hand.

With a beep, the referee reacted quickly and followed the whistle.

Foul, Avery Johnson on the free throw line!

Popovich breathed a sigh of relief again, but then, Avery Johnson didn't make the first free throw from the free throw line, and Popovich's breath came up again......

Fortunately, the second free throw was hit, and in the final 11 seconds, the Spurs led by 2 points.

Qiao Hai didn't pause in his hand, he stood on the sidelines and pointed directly to the three-point line.

Maddie gave an OK gesture, took the ball in the backcourt, and went straight to the frontcourt.

Popovich raised his head to look at Maddie who rushed to the frontcourt, and then, in his solemn expression, Maddie dribbled under two crotches in the frontcourt, estimating that the time was almost up, and there was another dry pull outside the three-point line, and he shot directly!

The narrator shouted, "Three points!" The Grizzlies are not ready to play overtime, and they want to end the game directly! ”

Maddy, who scored two three-pointers in a row, directly made all the Spurs fans in the Alamo Dome stand up.

Bang! Startled Popovich, the basketball popped up, and it didn't score!

In an instant, Popovich relaxed.

I was really shocked into a cold sweat!

Qiao Hai was also a little helpless, just a little bit, and the game was won.

Maddie failed to kill, but he was free and easy, shook his head helplessly, and hugged Mario Avery who was defending him in front of him.

The game is over, and the Grizzlies lost by 2 points.

Maddie scored 13 points in the last three minutes, which really scared Popovich.

On the sidelines, Popovich was about to shake hands with Qiao Hai, he really wanted to ask Qiao Hai, where did Qiao Hai find so many excellent wing stars, a Kobe Bryant, a Maddie, they are all too scary!

At the same time, he also instructed the assistant coach in charge of scouting the players in the team: "We should find a top wing defender, if we don't look for it, we will lose ...... in the future."

Popovich thinks that the Spurs won this game very lucky, if it weren't for Maddy's instability in the middle of the fourth quarter, and a three-point iron in a row, it would be the Grizzlies who won this game, although it was only a regular season game, but think about it from another angle, in the playoffs, Maddy Kobe Bryant went all out, and no one could defend the Spurs.

So, it's imperative to find a top-tier wing defender.

Qiao Hai found Popovich to shake hands, and Popovich really asked that question: "Joe, Tracy is so powerful, why didn't I find out before?" ”

Qiao Hai smiled: "If you want to find out, is there still a place for us to mix?" ”

Qiao Hai is right, the Spurs have broken the way of many players, OK's four consecutive championships and the Heat's dynasty are all broken in Popovich's hands, if Popovich finds a top wing superstar like Maddy Bryant, then other teams really have nothing to play.

"Tracy is so strong, 3 minutes and 13 points, you almost won, it really scared me."

Qiao Hai shook his head and said modestly.

But I thought in my heart: "I don't know if there is 35 seconds and 13 minutes left, that's what scares you." ”
