Maddie relied on free throws to score her first point of the season!

But after that, Maddie's form still didn't improve.

However, the Grizzlies relied on defense, as well as Manuginobili and Mike Bibby who came off the bench, and quickly chased back the trailing point difference.

At the end of the first quarter, Maddy scored 4 points on 1-of-5 shooting, and was in poor shape, but Manuginobili, who came off the bench, scored 11 points on 4-of-6 shooting, and Mike Bibi scored 7 points on 3-of-3 shooting.

Relying on the bench, the Grizzlies trailed the Spurs by one point in the first quarter at 28-29.

1 point difference, in the second quarter, the Grizzlies, who were in good shape, came off the bench and quickly tied the score.

On the Spurs' side, Popovich seemed to be striving for victory, he replaced Duncan and continued to put pressure on the Grizzlies, in this case, the Grizzlies still relied on the bench to bite the score.

After more than six minutes in the second quarter, the Grizzlies switched back to the main force, and Maddie followed back to the court.

Perhaps it was a half-quarter break on the court that Maddie found a little feeling, and after re-playing, Maddie hit a pull-up jumper from mid-range, which was his first jumper of the game.

But after this goal, Maddie started to hit the iron again.

In the second half of the second quarter, Maddie shot 2 of 4, with a 50% shooting rate, and the feeling was obviously recovered, but the state was still average, and he always looked like a headless fly on the offensive end, unable to find the target.

In the half, Maddy scored 9 points on 3-of-9 shooting, plus 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal.

The Grizzlies also led the Spurs by three points at halftime, 58-55.

At halftime, the Grizzlies outscored by three points.

But in the second half, the Spurs were back on the twin towers.

The Grizzlies are all the main force, and they also added the hot Ginobili on the bench, the purpose is obvious, in the third quarter, Qiao Hai wants to open up the point difference through the way of the full main force.

But the Spurs suddenly increased their defensive intensity, the twin towers were on the court, suppressing the Grizzlies' positional offense, and Avery Johnson also played, controlling the rhythm to the death, the score was always unable to pull away, and Qiao Hai's plan was shattered.

The game went into a tug-of-war mode, and the Grizzlies couldn't extend their lead, but the good thing was that they were always in the lead, and the lead margin hovered between 3 and 5 points.

Until the beginning of the fourth quarter, Qiao Hai replaced Maddie again and asked Maddie to find his form.

As a result, Maddie got into a hole again, missing two shots in a row, and the Spurs seized the opportunity, with Avery Johnson hitting a three-pointer and Duncan hitting a shot.

After two goals, in an instant, the Spurs overtook the score and led the Grizzlies by one point.

After Maddie hit two irons in a row, Qiao Hai was ready to make a substitution, and the victory of the game came first, since Maddie was in bad shape, there was no need to continue to play.

As a result, as soon as Qiao Hai called Ginobili from the bench, Maddie turned around and scored a three-pointer!

Bang!

Basketball hollow into the net! Entered!

Qiao Hai hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to let Maddie go to the No. 3 position, using this fierce game to find Maddie's state and feel.

Then he was replaced by Manu Ginobili, who was in hot form in this game.

After the substitutions, the game was once again deadlocked......

It wasn't until there were more than 4 minutes left in the game that the situation suddenly changed.

On the field, Maddie broke through quickly, rushed to the middle distance, made a sharp stop, braked a chance, he jumped directly, bang, missed.

Duncan grabbed the rebound and passed it to the front court with a flick of his hand.

Derrick Anderson chases down three points!

Bang!

The Spurs relied on this three-point shot to directly lead by 3 points from the previous deuce!

The Grizzlies serve in the backcourt, and Maddie holds the ball again, a breakthrough, rushes to the basket, throws a shot, and with a bang, the ball goes in! So far in the fourth quarter, Maddy's state has recovered a lot, and the shooting rate is not bad overall.

The Spurs' offense is still a hammer tactic, Derrick Anderson cuts in the air, catches the ball and attracts a pinch shot, divides the ball to the bottom corner, and Bruce Bowen directly points the three!

Bang!

Spurs scored two three-pointers in a row! The margin stretched to 4 points.

The Grizzlies chased the points, and Ginobili made a mid-range jumper, narrowing the gap to 2 points.

But then, Duncan's mid-range shot also entered, and the margin returned to 4 points.

In this way, the Spurs suddenly broke out and locked a 4-point lead at once.

For the Grizzlies, this four-point lead can be said to be fatal, because with less than 2 minutes left in the game, it will be difficult for the Grizzlies to overtake the score if the Grizzlies can't defend the next wave of offense and then score a goal.

At this stage of the game, everything is difficult to say.

A key attack, Manuginobili shot, he seized the opportunity, or a mid-shot, smack, the ball went in!

At the critical moment of the final quarter, when Maddie was in average condition, Manuginobili stepped up and scored consecutive goals!

Spurs are still steady, dragging their feet.

In the end, the ball was given to Duncan, who used the most stable 45° board to score another goal and still maintain a 4-point lead!

In less than 1 minute, basically, the Spurs have one more offense, and the Grizzlies have two more offenses, if the timing is in control.

The Grizzlies attacked first, and this shot was crucial.

The Spurs pressed all over the court, and it looked like they were going to stall for time and shorten the Grizzlies' positional offensive time, which was a strategy.

Maddie received the ball in the backcourt and controlled it twice, and Derek Anderson followed his pace and blocked Maddie desperately.

Seeing that it was almost 8 seconds into the violation, Maddie dribbled directly behind his back, narrowly avoided Derek Anderson's block, and then rushed forward with an arrow step.

Rushing beyond the three-point line, Maddie stopped the ball.

Then, the Grizzlies began a positional battle, organized offense in the positional battle, and the basketball passed around, and until the 22-second mark, the Grizzlies could not find a good shot.

Finally, at 22 seconds, the ball was passed to Ginobili on the outside, and Ginobili pressed the whistle! Shoot straight!

Swish!

The sudden sound of wiping the net caught everyone off guard! There was even an exclamation from the GM arena!

Then came the frantic cheers!

"Three points! Entered! Manu Ginobili's key three points! There are 30 seconds left in the race! The Grizzlies are still 1 point behind, and they still have a chance! ”

Not long after Mike Fratro's roar, the Spurs slapped Mike Fratro in the face with a wave of offense that took 24 seconds.

After 24 seconds, Tim Duncan made a surprise break from mid-range, forcing the Grizzlies to smash and then Duncan split the ball into the bottom corner.

It's Bruce Bowen again, a three-point chance in the bottom corner! He grasped every single one!

This one is no exception!

Bang!

The GM Arena fell silent instantly!

"Bruce Bowen's three! Entered! Entered! 4 points difference! This goal almost killed the game! In less than 6 seconds, it is impossible for the Grizzlies to score 4 points! It's simply impossible! ”
