Chapter 303: Turning the tables and winning five in a row

In the second half, Qiao Hai let go of the singles.

The first to be powerful is Manu Ginobili, although his total rating has just risen to 76 points, but after the reshaping of the best sixth man promotion card, coupled with the demonic individual skills, Ginobili's singles can be regarded as a superstar with a total rating of 90, and the threat when holding the ball on the outside is huge.

At the beginning of the second half, Ginobili broke through twice in a row, scored four points in a row with a throw and a layup, and the difference narrowed to less than 10 points.

Then, Nelson Sr. reacted quickly, made gestures on the sidelines, and began to pinch Ginobili.

Ginobili missed a goal, and the margin was once again widened to more than 10 points.

But after that goal, Ginobili started passing the ball and bringing his teammates along the way.

In the next attack, after Ginobili broke through, he was caught again, and he chose to pass the ball, the ball passed to the bottom corner, and assisted Sean Marion to hit a three-pointer.

Immediately afterwards, the Grizzlies defended the Mavericks' offense, Ginobili broke through again, Michael Finley lost his defensive position, the Mavericks could only pinch again, Ginobili shared the ball again, Billups received the basketball in a fast movement, rushed a step, and then a stop-and-go jump shot, smack, the ball went in!

There are 5 points left in the difference.

The Grizzlies suddenly saw hope for a comeback.

With 5 points left in the lead, Don Nelson was also in a hurry, crazy scientists are always crazy, and with the Grizzlies' offense getting sharper, Don Nelson also gave up the idea of continuing to make a fuss on the defensive end, and instead focused on the offensive end, he gave Steve Nash on the court instructions to speed up.

The calf suddenly picked up speed and began to bombard.

The Grizzlies are also picking up the pace, and Billups is also a master of controlling the tempo, and compared to Nash, he is a top point guard with a different style, and he is also just showing his glory at this time.

The Mavericks picked up speed, relying on Michael Finley and Dek Nowitzki's efficient offense to score a variety of points, and on the Grizzlies' side, Ginobili also continued to break out, he always took the ball at the top of the arc, and then made all kinds of bewitching breakthroughs, in the second half, Ginobili showed his versatility on the offensive end, all kinds of points were scored, and he completely exploded.

In addition to Ginobili's outbreak, Ewing also began to erupt.

The difference is that the position of Patrick Ewing's outbreak is in the restricted area, and the balls that the Mavericks can't shoot are converted into defensive rebounds, which are all grabbed by Patrick Ewing, and the balls that the Grizzlies can't shoot are converted into offensive rebounds, and almost all of them are grabbed by Patrick Ewing.

The Mavericks' starting center, Sean Bradley, seemed to struggle a little in the fast offensive and defensive tempo, and was directly blown up by Ewing.

As a result, the game turned into a crazy goal for the Grizzlies and Mavericks, and then occasionally a goal or two was missed, and the rebound must have been snatched by Patrick Ewing.

Commentator Kenny McManaman on the sidelines kept exclaiming, "Patrick Ewing grabbed the rebound again!" It's an offensive rebound! He goes straight to the basket! The ball went in!! ”

"Rebound! It's Grizzlies' rebounds again! ”

"Patrick Ewing dominates the penalty area!"

“……”

So, under the outburst of Billups, Manuginobili and Patrick Ewing, the Grizzlies struggled to complete the comeback in the third quarter, and then in the fourth quarter, Mike Bibby also played for a while.

Coupled with the Grizzlies' gradually increasing defensive intensity, the Grizzlies took the lead in the fourth quarter and finished the game with a leading attitude.

At the end of the game, the timer beeped, and there was a large empty space in the courtside stands at the Reunion Arena in Dallas, because with more than five minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies had already reversed the lead by 11 points, and Don Nelson ran out of cards to save the loss.

The team is about to lose, and the Mavericks fans on the sidelines naturally choose to leave, after all, no one wants to see their beloved team lose.

Ginobili, Billups and Mike Bibby controlled the tempo on the court, and Patrick Ewing also exploded and played his best performance since joining the Grizzlies.

At the end of the game, the Grizzlies won the game by 108-96, 12 points, and started the game with five straight wins.

The win came a little hard, and it looked like the Mavericks were even stronger than the Lakers, as the Grizzlies only started behind the Lakers, and after replacing Ginobili, they quickly overtook the score and then led all the way to the end of the game.

In this game, the Grizzlies fell behind in the first half, and it was not until the second half that they gradually turned the tide and completed the comeback.

And in this game, several Grizzlies players performed well.

Manuginobili chipped a team-high 26 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, Chauncee Billups scored 19 points, 6 assists and 3 steals, and Mike Bibby scored 16 points and 5 assists.

After Mike Bibi was corrected back by Qiao Hai, his state recovered, and like Ginobili and Billups, Mike Bibi can also shoot and pass, and there are three such players on the outside of the Grizzlies.

However, in this game, in addition to the three outside playing well, Patrick Ewing on the inside also broke out, in terms of data, Ewing single-handedly cut 15 points, 22 rebounds, 2 steals and 5 blocks, dominating the restricted area and the defensive end.

22 rebounds is also Patrick Ewing's new high since February 1997, this game, on the defensive end, Patrick Ewing is like back to the top, crazy rebounds, in the third quarter, Patrick Ewing grabbed 11 rebounds in a single quarter, it's crazy.

………………

After the game, the Grizzlies held a press conference.

Someone asked about the strength of the Mavericks, for this Mavericks, many people are optimistic that it will become a dark horse in the new season, and Qiao Hai also thinks so: "Mr. Don Nelson's team is very strong, Dirk Nowitzki, Steve Nash and Michael Finley are all All-Star level players, with three All-Stars, plus the best coach Don Nelson, this team should not be called a dark horse, they are a real strong team!" ”

Qiao Hai praised the Mavericks, and for the Grizzlies, Qiao Hai also made an evaluation from his own point of view: "In the new season, we lost Trash, but Tracy can come back in the second half of the season, before Trash's comeback, our goal is to ensure the top four rankings in the West, and after Trash's comeback, our goal is naturally to win the championship." ”

But in fact, the Grizzlies want to complete the goal of Qiao Hai, it seems very simple, after five consecutive wins, the Grizzlies sit firmly in the first place in the West, and because the 76ers lost, the Grizzlies are already the only team in the league that has remained undefeated since the start of the new season, but after playing this game, Qiao Hai knows very well that their loss day is coming.

In this game, the Grizzlies can trail the Mavericks at halftime, and in the next game, if they play a full game, the Grizzlies can lose to the Spurs.
