Chapter 170: What about joint defense

In the opening 30, Maddie scored a three-pointer in front of his senior.

Reggie Miller frowned, naturally wanting to return the ball.

The Pacers attacked, Reggie Miller faced Maddy, and it was Mark Jackson who held the ball, this time, he did not break through through the cover, and after a while, Reggie Miller was already running.

Running off the ball is Reggie Miller's main weapon.

Rick Schmitz made a one-on-one block on Reggie Miller's way, and Maddie lost Reggie Miller.

Turning around, Reggie Miller received a pass from Mark Jackson, but at this time, the Grizzlies' strong-side stacking defense played a role, and Sean Marion made up for it in time, although it missed Jalen Rose, but Reggie Miller obviously didn't want to pass.

At the beginning, Maddy shot a three-pointer head-on, and Reggie Miller thought of another three-pointer.

So, he took a shot against Sean Marion's supplementary defense.

Bang, and didn't go in again.

In the opening two consecutive irons, Reggie Miller's face darkened.

The rebound was picked up by Raheem, and the Pacers retreated quickly, and when Reggie Miller shot, they didn't want to compete for the offensive rebound, and all the players returned to defense.

Brad Miller held the ball in the high position, Maddy cut in the air, received Brad Miller's pass, directly attracted the pinch shot, scored a three-point shot in the opening, plus Maddie was the Grizzlies' scoring champion throughout November, and Maddy played the best against the Pacers last time, so the Pacers' defensive focus was obviously on Maddy.

encountered a pinch, Maddie didn't want to think about it, and passed the ball directly.

Although Qiao Hai didn't let the team speed up, Maddie has developed a good habit of passing the ball as soon as he is caught in the middle.

Qiao Hai has coached Kobe Bryant, and now he is coaching Maddie, he compares Maddie and Kobe, both of them have strong personal ability, but obviously, Maddie is more obedient, Kobe will always disobey the command and shoot indiscriminately, Maddie is much better in this regard.

At least when it comes to the bag, Maddie can see his teammates, but Kobe Bryant can't.

Maddie passed the ball and passed the opportunity directly, his passing is underestimated at this stage, because in the Grizzlies, what Maddie has to do is to finish the offense, and he doesn't need to pass, but often as soon as he passes, many people find out that Maddie is a master passer.

For example, in this ball, Maddie went directly over the crowd and passed to the bottom corner.

At this time, Sean Marion, who had just rounded the bottom corner, received the ball, a lame posture, and made a three-point shot!

Bang! It's three points again, and it's in again!

Opening 60, the Grizzlies had a great touch, and Larry Bird frowned.

The Grizzlies' style of play has not changed much, the offense is still Princeton, and the defense is still a strong side stack, which makes Larry Bird a little dissatisfied, it seems that his pre-game war of words has not worked at all, he heard that Qiao Hai responded to him, Larry Bird was very dissatisfied with Qiao Hai's response, but he was helpless.

Although the Grizzlies scored two three-pointers in the opening game, Larry Bird was not in a hurry, after all, the game had just begun.

On the court, the Pacers' offense came again, this time it was still Reggie Miller's off-ball run, after receiving the ball to attract the supplementary defense, he was not so persistent, passing the ball to the inside, Rick Schmitz turned and hit a hook shot, and 2 points were scored.

The Pacers scored, and Larry Bird sat back in his place.

In his opinion, as long as the Pacers score and the team is back on track, what about the Grizzlies' opening two three-pointers? Entering the normal rhythm of the Pacers, with the Pacers' offense and defense, it is the Pacers who have the advantage, just say that the two teams met before, the first three quarters have been dominant and leading the Pacers, and the Grizzlies only turned the tables in the fourth quarter and won the game.

The Grizzlies attacked, continuing Princeton.

Brad Miller held the ball from the outside, and Maddy rushed straight over, as if he was going to make a hand-to-hand cooperation.

But after the handover, Maddie took away the defense, Brad Miller did not give the ball, the ball at the top of the arc was unguarded, Brad Miller took the ball and took two steps inside, and Dale Davis could only save to defend again.

Dale Davis complements the defense, and Brad Miller moves the ball directly to the low post.

The Pacers' defense was pulled after low

Raheem singles, they can't wrap it up.

Seeing Raheem single-handing Rick Schmitz in the low post, he turned around and hit a hook shot.

82, Larry Bird continued to frown, he felt that the rhythm was wrong, why couldn't the Grizzlies' offense be prevented? It wasn't like that in the last game.

He was thinking, but Qiao Hai was already in a daze.

After Raheem returned, this attack was easy to play, and it was countless times sharper.

The game continued, Reggie Miller cut in the middle, received the ball and went down, after attracting the defense, under the reverse hanging basket, Davis dunked under the basket, and scored 2 more points.

The Grizzlies serve in the backcourt, and Mike Bibby advances to the frontcourt with the ball.

This time the Grizzlies didn't play Princeton, Maddy got the ball at the top of the arc, Brad Miller took the ball with a single block, and the Pacers thought that the Grizzlies were going to play Princeton, thinking that the ball was a hand-to-hand cooperation, and Maddy wanted to give the ball to Brad Miller, and he didn't change the defense directly.

As a result, Maddie moved sideways after a single block, and the outside line was pulled out again.

Reggie Miller pounced on the flank and defended a step too late.

Bang, it's in again!

114, Larry Bird stood up helplessly and shouted: "Reggie, switch guards with Jaylen!" ”

After thinking about it, it is still Jalen Rose's good effect on Maddie, in the previous game, Jaylen Rose's defense of Maddie shot 5 of 13 in the half, and the effect was outstanding.

The Pacers' offense, the Grizzlies' blatant strong-side stacking.

Reggie Miller had just picked up the ball and was caught in a pinch and could only pass the ball out.

The Grizzlies' defense is obviously focused on locking Reggie Miller, but the Pacers can't crack it, and so far in the opening game, Reggie Miller has made 2 shots and missed the shot, but there are two assists in terms of statistics.

He was caught in the middle of the ball and continued to pass.

The Grizzlies' defense has blocked the opportunity, Jalen Rose singled on the left, rushed into the interior to meet Brad Miller's assisted defense, missed the defensive layup, and the rebound was taken down by Sean Marion, who followed later.

Taking the rebound, Sean Marion glanced back and had a chance to break fast!

The last long pass was unsuccessful, this time Marion also learned to be obedient, directly passed to Maddie not far away, Maddie received the ball, made a transfer station, rushed to the front court, attracted the defense, and gave the ball to Mike Bibby on the other side, Bibby received the ball and scored an empty basket.

134,9 points difference, the situation is a little wrong, change to the Conceco Arena, the Pacers seem to be completely unable to prevent the Grizzlies' offense, this is not at all the rhythm of the last matchup between the two teams.

With a nine-point difference, Larry Bird hesitated and still took a timeout.

McBrin and Mav Albert on the commentary bench also discussed, before the game, Larry Bird provoked a war of words, the home whistle is okay to say, the main problem is illegal joint defense, the focus of the discussion between the two is also illegal joint defense.

"The Grizzlies' defense has limited Reggie Miller very well, and since the opening game, Reggie Miller has no chance at all."

"Larry Bird said that the Grizzlies' defense is an illegal joint defense, and looking at it now, it does mean a bit of an illegal joint defense."

Marv Albert was thoughtful, and it seemed that Larry Bird was right.

McBlin shook his head: "There are rumors that the league is going to let go of the joint defense, and this year, the league's blowing penalty for the joint defense is also much smaller, almost turning a blind eye, and even the Pacers' defense is a bit of a joint defense, I don't think it's a big problem, instead of discussing whether the Grizzlies' defense is a joint defense, it is better to discuss whether the Grizzlies' defense is excellent." ”

McBlin's words directly set the tone.

Mav Albert also nodded: "If you don't have a joint defense, the Grizzlies' defense is very in place, Reggie Miller ran without the ball, which was originally an offensive weapon for the Pacers, but it was directly locked by the Grizzlies' pseudo-joint defense, which proves that the Grizzlies' defense is successful, after locking Reggie Miller, the Pacers' offense will naturally not be opened, continue to play like this, this game will be no suspense." ”

"Now, Larry Bird has a lot more problems to solve, and he needs to find a way to defend against the Grizzlies' offense, and at the same time, he has to find a way to open up his offense."
