Chapter 201: Reasonable Version of Maddie
On the court, the Grizzlies attack.
Brad Miller played a tactical match with Maddy in the high post, Maddy cut in the air to attract the defense, Brad Miller took two steps inside with the ball, pulled the Raptors' defense again, and passed the ball to the sideline.
Ragabel was empty, and when he received the ball and raised his hand, he hit a three-pointer, and he shot very decisively, but with a bang, he didn't feel good and didn't score.
In the scramble for rebounds under the basket, Antonio Davis made a meritorious contribution and squeezed away Sean Marion, who jumped out from the side, and grabbed the rebound.
The Raptors counterattacked, and Vince Carter received the ball and wanted to push the fast break.
Maddie entwined Carter and blocked the Raptors' counterattack.
As a last resort, the Raptors had to fight positionally, Maddie continued to face Carter, but Carter passed the ball out and let Steve Francis organize the offense.
The Raptors played a tactical match for a while, but failed to find a chance in a few passes.
In desperation, with 10 seconds left in the offensive time, the ball was handed back to Carter, who singled, and after a strong step, forced a shot against Maddie's defense.
The shot's right hand was raised high and touched Maddie's long arm.
With a beep, the referee blew the whistle and blew for a foul on Maddie's thug.
The Air Canada arena burst into cheers.
Amid cheers, Carter stepped to the free throw line and hit one of two free throws to give the Raptors a 3-2 lead.
Then, the two sides hit the iron one after another, and the opening Raptors' defense was aimed at Maddy, as long as Maddy got the ball in the middle distance, the Raptors immediately attacked, although this defense was brainless, the effect was good, locked Maddy, and the Grizzlies' scoring became very difficult.
After all, the current Grizzlies lack Raheem, and Qiao Hai's lineup in this game is more defense-oriented, in the last game against the Nets, the Grizzlies' starting second position is Chauncy Billups, full of outside firepower, Billups still controls the rhythm, if it weren't for Mike Bibie's more aggressive, Qiao Hai had the urge to let Billups directly replace Mike Bibie's starting point guard.
And in this game, in order to prevent Steve Francis, Qiao Hai started Ragabel, and to a certain extent, this substitution weakened the Grizzlies' outside offense.
Maddie is locked, Ragabel is not good at attacking, and the interior is missing Raheem, who can score singles in the low post and create a threat, and Sean Marion, although he is the starting four, has no single ability at all, and can only catch the ball and shoot.
As a result, the Grizzlies had all the ball in the hands of Mike Bibi, and they were counting on Mike Bibi to open up the situation.
Mike Bibby was out of form, missing two consecutive mid-range shots.
However, Maddie couldn't exert his strength on the offensive end, but put all his energy on the defensive end, and Carter, who defended it, was difficult to parry, and he also hit the iron again and again.
And so, a strange phenomenon happened.
In the next two minutes or so, the score of 3:2 Raptors leading by 1 point has not changed, and there are various irons on both sides.
In the 4th minute of the game, Steve Francis missed again with a strong shot from the outside.
Butch Carter didn't react, but Qiao Hai stood up, walked to the sideline, and made a pause gesture.
With a beep, the referee blew the whistle and signaled a timeout.
The game time is 4 minutes and 17 seconds in the first quarter, the score is 3:2, the reason why Butch Carter is reluctant to call a timeout Qiao Hai also understands, it is nothing more than an official timeout in two or three minutes, the Raptors are still ahead by 1 point, although the two teams are all kinds of iron, but this state continues, Butch Carter is happy to see it.
Even, the current Butch Carter is still very proud, and the defensive strategy of nobodyless pinching Maddy is successful, which seems to prove that his pre-game setup is excellent, even better than the young and promising talented coach opposite, don't you see, the Raptors suppressed the Grizzlies at the beginning?
Qiao Hai didn't think so, and the opening two sides hit iron separately, which proved that the Grizzlies' defensive strategy was correct, Vince Carter and Steve Francis were locked up, and the Raptors' offense couldn't be opened. But on the offensive end, the Grizzlies' offense couldn't be opened, and Maddie was locked up, which required Qiao Hai to adjust.
As a result, the different ideas of the two managers led to the suspension of the two teams in very different adjustments.
On the Grizzlies' side, Qiao Hai's adjustment is very simple: "Tracy, you are our number one star, don't always stand on the sidelines and watch the play, take the ball, and play singles!" A Doug Christie can't stop you! If the opponent catches you, you distribute the ball to a teammate who has a chance in the open space. ”
Adjust the first step to add Maddie's singles, and Maddie nods as a result.
The game has been played so far, Maddie's singles are very few, even if there are singles, it is still a variety of singles after the long-range shot, and now Qiao Hai asks Maddie to burst in, as long as he highlights an opportunity, the score will come.
"Brad, a little faster, a little faster for all of you, we're going to get faster!"
Speed up, this is the second step of adjustment, the current Grizzlies are already speeding up Princeton's offensive style of play, but what Qiao Hai is asking now is for the team to continue to speed up, as soon as the offensive speed comes up, there will naturally be more opportunities, in a word: the world's martial arts, for fast not attack!
On the Raptors' side, Butch Carter gave a thumbs up directly: "Play well, everyone keep working hard, we need to do faster with Tracy McGrady's pinching, don't give him any chance!" ”
Obviously, the Raptors' adjustment is to stick to the previous style of play, and Butchcarter is clearly satisfied with the team's performance.
The two teams will make different adjustments, and the development of the next game will obviously be different.
After the timeout, there were no substitutions for both teams, and the game restarted with the Grizzlies' offensive round.
Maddie took the ball at the top of the arc, Brad Miller also pulled to the high position, Maddy's single, after Qiao Hai's pause, Maddie immediately took the ball and started to play alone, the desire to play alone is very strong, and the player who defends him is still Doug Christie.
Like Joe Hay said, Maddie doesn't think Doug Christie can kill him.
So, Maddie accelerated and rushed very resolutely.
Brad Miller took advantage of the situation to give a screen, blocking Doug Christie, and Maddie went straight to the basket.
Antonio Davis made up for the defense, Maddie suddenly made a 360° turn, the speed did not decrease, surprisingly directly past Antonio Davis, the basket was empty in an instant, Carter pounced from the side to make up for the defense.
Maddie has jumped up, clang, and buckled!
On the sidelines, Qiao Hai waved his fist, and the tactical adjustment was successful!
At 4:3, the Grizzlies overtook the score.
The Raptors silently re-served the ball in the backcourt, and Steve Francis took the ball across the half court and attacked the position.
Carter singled with the ball, and Maddie went up for it.
Carter is strong, Maddie is wrapped in defense, Carter is strong and misses!
Sean Marion grabbed the rebound, and the Grizzlies played another wave of counterattacks, and Marion advanced quickly with the ball and passed to Maddie.
Maddie rushes to the front and gets tangled up by Carter.
But he took two steps in three steps, directly shook off Carter, rushed to the basket, and scored another dunk to score two more points.
Although the counterattack was reluctant, the Grizzlies still scored 2 points, 6:3, and the Grizzlies led by three points.
With Maddie hitting the basket alone and scoring 4 points in a row, the Grizzlies' offense was also opened, and the situation was immediately different.
The Raptors' offense is still difficult, and they can only rely on Carter and Steve Francis to chisel in one by one, and on the Grizzlies side, after Maddy scored consecutive points under the basket, the Raptors' defense of Maddy is a little difficult, and their pinch speed becomes faster, but at the same time, the outside line leaks more thoroughly.
In this time and space, Maddie exploded one or two seasons in advance, which also made Maddie in this time and space different from Maddie in Qiao Hai's previous life.
In Qiao Hai's previous life, Maddie carried a team alone in the Magic, and therefore, as long as he got the ball, all Maddie thought about was how to throw the ball in, and rarely thought about passing, so many times Maddie would always pull out his hand directly, which seemed that he played very alone, and all kinds of wave shots.
But at this time and space, the Grizzlies have a good record and their teammates are strong.
In a successful system, Maddie plays a lot more reasonable, Maddie himself is not a player who plays very alone like Kobe, as long as his teammates have a chance, he will pass the ball, and the goal he can definitely score, Maddie will also score resolutely, and the ball with a small chance, Maddie will also choose to give up and give the ball to a teammate with a better chance.
Most of the balls he threw were catch-and-shoot or balls that had to be forced at critical moments.
It can be said that Maddie in this time and space is a strengthened version of Kobe, or a different professional term - reasonable science.
The horror of Reasonable Branch is always talked about by all kinds of fans, and now, Qiao Hai has created a Reasonable Branch in Vancouver - T-mac and Maddie.
Therefore, the reasonable version of Maddie reflected in this game has become a variety of leaks on the outside of the Raptors, and Maddie has frantically brushed assists.
Mike Bibby, Sean Marion and Brad Miller came to fire in various open positions, and even Ragabel, who had a poor opening hand, hit two three-pointers in a row.
With two minutes left in the first quarter, the score was 27-16 and the Grizzlies were ahead......
