Chapter 169: Excited Maddie
Before the game, Qiao Hai announced the team squad, Milt Palacio, Joe Stephens, and Obiena Aikeci were not activated, and the other 12 entered the active list.
In the locker room, Qiao Hai studied the Pacers' lineup, put on a tactical board, focused everyone's attention, and began to lay out the opening style of play.
"I think everyone should know about the pre-match disputes." Qiao Hai can learn about the war of words provoked by Larry Bird before the game, and the players can naturally do it too.
Qiao Hai didn't say much anymore, and said directly: "So in this game, we are only allowed to win and not lose!" The acceleration of Princeton's tactics has stopped for a while, and we will play the regular Princeton offense in this game, but we have to make a little change - we have to take advantage of the opportunity of the fast break, and if we grab a defensive rebound, immediately give the ball to the small player in the front court and push the fast break. ”
Qiao Hai finally added the move of counterattacking and fast attack, in the Drew League Monterey team, in the Lakers, Qiao Hai used the move of fast attack counterattack, and the effect was outstanding.
But in the Grizzlies, in order for the team to adapt to the Princeton tactics as soon as possible, he has not used the fast break counterattack, he can't bear this game, the Princeton tactics are supposed to speed up, plus the counterattack fast break is only incidental, and there will be no negative effect.
Qiao Hai added it easily.
"Also, on the defensive end, we opened the game with man-to-man marking......"
Finally, Qiao Hai announced the starters: "In this game, Mike, Tracy, Shaun, Sherif and Bullard start, Sean, we play man to man in defense, but you still have to pay attention to the defense and help defense, and move more to the strong side." ”
The offense is slow Princeton, the defensive is a simplified version of the strong side stacked, and nothing has changed on the Grizzlies' side.
The veteran Lloyot saw Qiao Hai's pre-game arrangement for the first time, he listened very carefully, he knew that he would not play, but he listened very carefully, he had other ideas, maybe his career is over, and being a coach is also a good choice.
Qiao Hai can become a champion coach at such a young age, and Lloyot feels that he can learn and learn and mix in the coaching industry.
The Grizzlies played with boos, and I have to say that the war of words before the game by Larry Bird still had some effect, and the Pacers fans at the scene were about to treat the Grizzlies players and coaches as killers, booing and scolding, and spraying all kinds of nonsense.
Qiao Hai frowned, a little unable to listen.
However, this kind of atmosphere is what Qiao Hai likes, and under the stimulation of this environment, the young players will be aroused by hormones all over their bodies, and they will be excited all of a sudden, and they will shut up this group of fans who don't know how to be polite.
"Alright, guys, let's go warm up."
Qiao Hai asked the players to warm up, stood on the sidelines and looked around, saw McBrin and Mav Albert in the commentary seat, and ignored the boos behind the commentary seat, walked over directly, smiled and said hello.
"Hello, Mr. McBlin, Mr. Marv-Albert."
This is the first time Qiao Hai has met with McBrin and Mav Albert, the two most famous and authoritative commentators today were surprised that Qiao Hai suddenly ran over to say hello, Qiao Hai's tactical style of play They are already very familiar with it, but Qiao Hai is a person, they are still in contact for the first time.
So, after saying hello to each other, the atmosphere was slightly awkward.
"Hello, Mr. Qiao Hai."
Qiao Hai smiled: "There's nothing else, I'm just here to say hello." ”
After saying hello and chatting a few words, in the strange and inexplicable glance of McBrin and Margroom Albert, Qiao Hai turned and left.
In fact, this is an ordinary greeting, Qiao Hai has heard the names of McBrin and Marv Albert for a long time, and always hears them mention themselves, but they don't know each other, this time they appeared in the arena early, and it happened to be McBrin and Marv Albert who commented the game.
So, Qiao Hai came over and took a photo, which can be regarded as acquaintance.
The game is about to start, Larry Bird has also played, Qiao Hai didn't look at Larry Bird, who provoked a war of words, and clapped his hands vigorously, so that the team ended the warm-up, and the starters were ready to play.
The Grizzlies' starters, Qiao Hai turned his head to look at the starters on the Pacers' side, point guard Mark Jackson, point guard point guard Reggie Miller, small forward Jalen Rose, power forward Rick Schmitz, and center Dale Davis.
Again, there are no surprises, since there are no accidents, this game will start and have a good fight with the Pacers!
In the opening jump ball, two centers stood in the center circle, and Brad Miller faced Dale Davis.
Two Davis, the Pacers kept Davis and sent Antonio Davis away because Dale Davis is 2.11 meters tall enough, while Antonio Davis is only 2.06 meters tall and short.
The advantage of height was reflected in the opening game, with Dale Davis winning against Brad Miller, who is 2.13 meters tall, with a slightly better bounce.
Brad Miller is a floor-flow center, and he has height and doesn't bounce, so it's normal to lose jump shots.
The first offense of the opening game, the Pacers' possession.
Mark Jackson holds the ball, Rick Schmitz is a cover, Mark Jackson bursts inside, but Mark Jackson is a point guard with low scoring ability, and the Grizzlies have no pinch shots, only single defense.
Raheem switched defenses and kept up with Mark Jackson.
Mark Jackson took two more steps, didn't have much chance, and passed out.
Reggie Miller singled out Maddie from the outside, dribbled two steps quickly, and hit Maddy's defensive pull-up jump shot, missing!
The rebound was won by Sean Marion, as Qiao Hai increased Marion's playing time, defensive end and protection rebounding, Marion began to show talent, this rebound was won, Marion remembered Qiao Hai's pre-game arrangement, fast attack counterattack!
He felt that he had a chance, took the rebound, turned around and buried his head and rushed out, rushed two steps, someone in front of him came to block, he looked up and glanced into the distance.
Maddie has rushed to the front, chance!
Sean Marion's pass is a bit lame, this kind of long pass is even more bad, Maddie saw Marion's pass, and also rushed two steps, but after rushing, he found that he had rushed a little too much, no way, turned back and took another step, and barely received the ball.
There was suddenly an extra defender in front of him, and it was Reggie Miller.
The opportunity to counterattack was gone, Maddie quickly dribbled two steps, changed direction sharply, and seemed to shake off Reggie Miller to break into the inside, Reggie Miller's defense was not as good as before, so he hurriedly took a step back to prevent the amount of advance.
Maddie saw the opportunity to pull a dry pull directly outside the three-point line.
Reggie Miller turned back and couldn't defend ......
The Conseco Arena exclaimed, facing Reggie Miller's three points, this young man really dared to shoot!
Maybe that's what all Pacers fans think, but whoop!
The crisp sound of wiping the net sounded!
Entered!
Maddie is shaking her fists and excited!
