+& bV/% {SX r mӚ 9Ϋ 1ハnV_kp_ TFF ض] ^C8? 4 After that, Qiao Hai announced the starting lineup for this match.
"Point guard Chauncy Billups, shooting guard Tracy McGrady, small forward Sean Marion, power forward Sharif Abdulahim, and center Patrick Ewing!"
debuted, at the same time, on the commentary bench, Hubi Brown shouted loudly in a cheer: "Maddie starts, he starts the first game of his comeback!" Joe Hai seems to trust Maddie too much, but he doesn't know if the feedback Joe Hai gets in the end is good or bad......"
The starters on the Spurs' side also played: "On the Spurs' side, the starting point guard is Antonio Daniels, an equally surprising starter!" The shooting guard is Derrick Anderson, the small forward is Bruce Bowen, the power forward is Tim Duncan, and the center is David Robinson! ”
"Grizzlies and Spurs are weird! Qiao Hai directly started Maddy, who was out for three months, and on the Spurs' side, their starting lineup directly started Antonio Daniels, a two-way guard who rarely starts, what is going on? ”
"What are these two teams doing?!"
……
No one knows what the Grizzlies and Spurs are up to, only two coaches.
In fact, Qiao Hai can also guess Popovich's thoughts, in the last game, the Grizzlies started to attack wildly and directly took a 10-point lead, if it weren't for the Grizzlies' poor state in the next game, and the Spurs defended well, the Spurs would have lost that game.
So in this game, the Spurs put on such a lineup and strengthened the outside offense, with the aim of avoiding the collapse of the opening game.
It's a jump ball, and the game is about to begin.
Two veterans of the four centers jumped the ball, David Robinson faced Patrick Ewing, the two jumped the ball, and in the end, Patrick Ewing, who helped the Grizzlies win countless jump balls, still lost to David Robinson.
Spurs got the ball and started the game.
The Grizzlies' defense is man-to-man, and then Ewing guards the restricted area, and Sean Marion guards the mid-range, which is similar to the Spurs in terms of strategy, except that the Grizzlies defend more and less on the strong side.
For example, now, it is Derek Anderson who holds the ball, and Maddie is a single defense.
Then on the side, Sean Marion also slowly moved his footsteps, approaching Derek Anderson, as soon as Derek Anderson moved, the grizzly bear would immediately sacrifice the bag.
In the opening game, the Spurs played a pick-and-roll, and it was their strongest offensive play this season, with Derrick Anderson and Duncan's pick-and-roll.
One block and one tear down, and immediately there was an opportunity at the free throw line, and Duncan showed up there.
Derrick Anderson didn't pass the ball, but instead took a strong step and rushed straight in.
Popovich on the sidelines frowned.
Derrick Anderson's personal attack is very strong, but there is still a big gap between him and the current Ginobili, and the biggest gap is naturally the scene just now.
If it was Ginobili and there was an opportunity in front of Duncan, Ginobili would definitely pass it.
Derrick Anderson will only bury his head in his own attack, which is a gap in ball quotient, and has nothing to do with ball skills.
Sure enough, Derek Anderson rushed into the interior and pounced on Patrick Ewing's iron wall, a throw, which was directly interfered with by Ewing's defense at no angle.
With a muffled bang, the basketball smashed into the frame and bounced out.
Ewing turned and grabbed the rebound.
Billups took the basketball and went straight to speed.
With the ball in his head and a dash, the front court formed a three-on-two, Billups on the left, Sean Marion on the right, and Maddie in the middle.
Billups rushed beyond the three-point line and took another step, forcing Antonio Daniels to turn around and defend him.
Then, Billups made a pass to Maddie in the middle.
In front of Maddie was Derek Anderson's defense, and on the other side, Sean Marion rushed straight into the box.
But Maddie chose to shoot on her own and didn't pass the ball!
Bang, shoot the iron!
The fast break didn't work, and the rebound was also taken by the quick-eyed Derrick Anderson, who used a backdribble to dodge in the face of Maddy's on-the-spot pressing.
Then he calmly controlled the ball through the half.
In the Spurs' round, they pulled away at halftime, and the Grizzlies still forced it on the strong side to defend more and less.
This time, it was still a block in the middle, but the ball-handling player was replaced by Antonio Daniels, and after a pick-and-roll, the Grizzlies still chose to switch defenses.
Then, Antonio Daniels chose to pass the ball to Duncan to play big and small.
The mid-range flat putt forced the Grizzlies to implement the bag clamp.
After the pack, Duncan found an opportunity, a pass, and gave Derrick Anderson, Derrick Anderson made a quick layup and scored 2 points!
At the beginning, Spurs 2:0, start the scoring!
The Grizzlies' defense has done a good job, changing the defense when it's time to change defenses, and pinching when it's time to pinch shots, there's nothing to blame.
So Qiao Hai stood on the sidelines and watched for a while, then sat back down.
Grizzlies' offense, Billups took the ball across the half court, made a gesture, and immediately formed a pick-and-roll offense, Billups and Raheem's high pick-and-roll.
After the block, Raheem also got the ball in the middle distance.
Maddie circled from the baseline, returned to the top of the arc, and opened his hand to get the ball.
It can be seen that in the first game of the comeback, Maddie's desire to attack is very high.
But the problem is that there is no chance in front of Maddie, but because of Maddy's involvement, there is an opportunity in the bottom corner, Raheem has played a season of Princeton offense, and his passing skills are already perfect.
A timely pass to Sean Marion in the bottom corner.
This season, Sean Marion's scoring statistics have risen sharply, which is inseparable from his decisive shot on the offensive end.
Swish!
The crisp sound of wiping the net sounded, and the GM Arena immediately resounded with crazy cheers!
“3:2! It's so beautiful! Sean Marion opened the game with a three-pointer! He seems to be feeling hot! ”
The Spurs' offense is still playing blocking and dismantling, and it is still the cooperation of Duncan and outside players, and this time, the Grizzlies are still changing defenses, they just insist on blocking and dismantling without pinching.
This time, Derrick Anderson chose to pass the ball or give Duncan a big and small shot.
Duncan's position was far away, and he didn't choose to push flat, but held the ball, looking for opportunities.
Wing David Robinson gave Antonio Daniels a screen, Antonio Daniels ran a chance, the ball was passed, Antonio Daniels took a shot, and was interfered by Sean Marion, who then rushed to the defense.
Bang, miss.
Ewing grabbed the rebound, and the Grizzlies turned to break fast.
In the fast break, Billups made a quick layup and scored 2 points, 5:2, and the Grizzlies led by 3 points.
The Spurs' offense, although the continuous blocking and dismantling all had opportunities, the Spurs only seized one opportunity, and the efficiency did not seem to be high, so this goal, they changed their way.
The ball was still given to Duncan.
Duncan responded in the middle, David Robinson covered the baseline, and Antonio Daniels went around and brought out the defense.
Then, Derrick Anderson cut in without the ball and ran for a chance in an instant, Duncan gave the ball in, Derrick Anderson drew the defense and the ball went into the bottom corner.
Bruce Bowen raises his hand and shoots!
In the coach's seat, Qiao Hai stood up suddenly.
This style of play is too familiar!
