The decisive moment was not long in coming.

Qiao Hai took the lead in calling a timeout, because the Spurs' big four and small actually played a hand, Sean Elliott scored two mid-range shots in a row, plus Tony Deck scored a three-pointer, and the difference was only 5 points in an instant.

Therefore, Qiao Hai was in a hurry and took the lead in opening the decisive moment.

substitution, he first played the roughly Garrahim's interior combination, and used Maddie to play the second position, the point guard is still Billups, and the small forward is still Shaun Marion.

After this wave of timeouts, Popovich, who had hesitated for a long time, also made a substitution, Duncan came on, but David Robinson was replaced, and on the outside, Mario Alley replaced Tony Decker to strengthen the defense.

The Spurs' lineup is still one big and four small, and Popovich doesn't want to break the Spurs' current good momentum of chasing points.

But after the timeout, Billups began to control the tempo.

The tempo was slowed down, and the Grizzlies' first wave of offense took 21 seconds, and finally, Raheem missed the shot and Duncan grabbed the rebound.

The Spurs naturally don't want to follow the Grizzlies to play a slow-paced position, and they still have to chase points.

So, after grabbing the rebound, the Spurs fought back directly.

Avery Johnson got the ball and followed Sean Elliott, Corsey and Mario Alley to the frontcourt, which played three fours and gave the Spurs a numerical advantage.

But the Grizzlies' outside three-man defensive attributes are not bad, although it is three to four, relying on personal ability, the Grizzlies have balanced this unbalanced situation, and the Spurs' counterattack is a little stiff, and Maddie soon found a breakthrough and stopped this wave of counterattacks.

As a last resort, the Spurs could only follow the rhythm of the Grizzlies and also started a positional battle.

The rhythm was controlled by the grizzly bears, and in the slow rhythm, it was naturally the grizzlies who took the initiative on the field.

Then, they defended two waves of Spurs' attacks one after another, of course, these two times were when the Spurs forced to play fast breaks, and when they made quick shots, it was normal to hit the iron.

The Spurs' offensive efficiency went down.

On the Grizzlies' side, the Grizzlies found a lot of opportunities in the slow Princeton offensive positional battle.

In the first two shots, Maddy made a mid-range shot, and Billups also threw a pull-up jump shot, both of which were scored, and the margin widened to 8 points.

On the third offense, Raheem missed a mid-range shot, Duncan just grabbed the rebound, and Popovich called another timeout.

"The Spurs took a short timeout, Popovich didn't have a timeout in his hand, there was only a full-time timeout left."

With this pause, everyone is speculating on Popovich's thoughts.

"Popovich should be in the Twin Towers, otherwise this game will not be played."

That's what ESPN TV commentator Stephen Smith had in mind.

Mav Albert thinks the same thing as he does: "Go up to the twin towers, attack the inside, spread out defensively, and prevent the Grizzlies' long-range ......"

Soon, after a short pause.

Sure enough, David Robinson was on board, and the Spurs returned to the Twin Towers lineup.

McBrin couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Marg Albert: "Marf, I think you can apply for a coach, Greg Popovich's adjustments have all been guessed by you." ”

After the timeout, the Spurs really began to attack the inside, Avery Johnson passed a ball to David Robinson, and David Robinson forced Brad Miller inside and scored a goal, narrowing the gap to 6 points.

The rhythm battle between the two teams is also gone, it is all positional warfare, and it depends on who has more offensive efficiency.

The Spurs have been playing the inside, Duncan and David Robinson suddenly turned into Shaquille O'Neal, playing the Grizzlies with weak defense and no change of hands on the inside, and after consecutive scores, the difference was narrowed to less than 5 points.

At this time, Maddie also broke out.

Scoring in a row, the difference was controlled at about 5 points.

The two teams attacked each other, the Spurs' defense exploded, and in the final moments of the game, the Grizzlies fell to the bottom line.

The score difference gradually narrowed, and the game was played to the last moment, and the suspense was born again.

Duncan scored a goal on a 45-degree board and reflexively gave Maddie a big hat.

Then the Spurs counterattacked, and in the counterattack, Avery Johnson hit a key shot against the defense, and the score was overtaken by the Spurs......

With one minute and thirty seconds left in the game, this game is ...... It's hard to fight.

Qiao Hai thought about it, didn't adjust, and continued to fight like this.

Maddie then exploded, hitting two consecutive mid-range shots.

The Grizzlies regained the lead.

But at this time, with more than 30 seconds left in the game, the Spurs attacked in a wave, and the Grizzlies had another wave of offense.

Popovich took a timeout first, which was also the last timeout for the Spurs, Qiao Hai thought about it, and took advantage of this timeout to make a substitution.

Rasian Nesterovic came on for Bradmiller.

Ragabel came on and replaced Rahim.

Two substitutions to strengthen the defense.

Spurs offense, the ball to Duncan.

Duncan played big and small, against Sean Marion, it took more than 20 seconds, Duncan forced a shot, which is his best 45° board.

With a bang, the basketball hit the rebound, but it bounced out.

Didn't go in!

"Rebound!"

Rasian Nestelovic held off David Robinson behind him, and Maddie jumped out from the side to grab the rebound.

Then quickly rush to the front.

But in the process of rushing, it is inevitable to be bumped into by Spurs players.

With a beep, the referee's whistle blew.

Spurs fouled.

1 minute difference, less than 5 seconds.

Maddie walked to the free throw line, and everyone held their breath.

"It was a fierce game, no one expected this game to be like this......"

McBrin sighed.

In this game, the two teams went back and forth, and the Spurs took the lead in the first quarter.

But in the second quarter, the Grizzlies won by nine points in the first quarter with the regular lineup.

In the third quarter, the two teams made separate moves, sometimes the Grizzlies had an advantage, sometimes the Spurs had an advantage, and overall, the point difference was narrowed by the Spurs.

In the fourth quarter, the Spurs stubbornly narrowed the difference and even overtook it.

But at the last minute, the Spurs were still a bad move.

Maddie walked to the free throw line and hit both free throws to make it a three-point difference.

In the last five seconds, the Spurs did not take a timeout.

They served at the back, and Avery Johnson quickly dribbled to near the halfway line and scrambled for a last-second shot.

The long-distance three-pointer didn't even touch the frame.

There was a buzz, and the red light came on.

At home, the Grizzlies won the battle of Tianwang Mountain with a score of 109:106.

The overall score is 3:2! The Grizzlies have already won the match point.

At the end of the game, Qiao Hai was also greatly relieved.

The strength of the Spurs is very strong, but in this game, Qiao Hai did not use the status card, and still led the team to win the Spurs.

This victory at least proves something, Qiao Hai and the Grizzlies, without the form card, are capable of winning against the Spurs. However, this game has also exhausted Qiao Hai's energy, and he has exhausted his hole cards, without counting the remaining status cards.

At 3:2, the match point was in hand, and the home team's locker room was full of laughter.

Qiao Hai walked in and poured cold water on everyone.

"It was just a tough win, and if it wasn't for Tim Duncan's last shot, maybe we would have lost now! We still need a win to get to the next round, so settle a little bit before we advance. ”
