Chapter 221: Lore?
Portland's Rose Garden Arena is full of 20,630 seats.
“Defense! Defense! Defense! ”
The tsunami-like shouts resounded throughout the arena, and the atmosphere was suffocating.
On the sidelines, Qiao Hai rubbed his somewhat stiff face, walked to the sidelines, and put his hands in his pockets.
On the court, the Grizzlies are on offense and the Trail Blazers are defending.
“Defense! Defense! Defense! ”
The cheers of the Trail Blazers' home fans were endless, and the voice of on-site commentator John Khazano rang out: "Tracy McGrady, breakthrough!" Forcibly shot! Didn't go in! Pretty! Nice defense! ”
"The Trail Blazers are on the offensive again! Steve Smith! Three points from the outside! Shoot straight! Entered! Entered! ”
"With six points left and one minute left in the game, the Grizzlies' hopes of winning are slim, and their 19-game winning streak is coming to an end!"
John Khazano is a loyal Trail Blazers fan, and at the moment, the Trail Blazers stubbornly lead the Grizzlies, who had won 19 straight games on their home court and beat the Lakers by 27 points on the road, were thrilled and spoke a lot faster.
The Trail Blazers have a stellar season and are fourth in the West, and if it weren't for the Grizzlies' sudden rise, no one would have overlooked the Trail Blazers' stellar performance this season.
But because of the rise of the Grizzlies, all the attention of the NBA is on the Grizzlies, and the performance of the Trail Blazers is naturally bleak compared to the Grizzlies.
On the sidelines, Qiao Hai stretched out his hands and called a timeout.
More than a minute of game time, 6 points difference.
As long as the Trail Blazers hold their time, they have an 80% chance of winning, and the Grizzlies only have a 20% chance of a comeback.
It looks like the Grizzlies' 19-game winning streak is really coming to an end......
Qiao Hai hesitated, in the system space, a pair of hands in the store whether to redeem the aging attribute card stopped, but after hesitating for a long time, Qiao Hai still retreated.
"Forget it, if you lose, you lose, 19 consecutive wins is not bad."
Qiao Hai thought about it, he felt that he seemed to attach too much importance to this streak, you must know, the streak will eventually come to an end, sometimes too much attention is to put pressure on himself, and once the pressure is too heavy, it will lead to serious consequences.
For example, the wave of injuries, such as the losing streak after a winning streak, is likely to bring the team to a slump.
If you just lose this game like you are now, it may be a good ending.
On the sidelines, after a pause, Qiao Hai did not use any props, arranged a few words in a short manner, and gave the ball to Maddie, and at the critical moment, Qiao Hai wanted to exercise Maddie's ability to key the ball.
Maddie's key ball is not outstanding, Maddie's key ball in the previous life, in terms of key balls, is only 35 seconds and 13 points commendable, and in this life, under Qiao Hai, the last time he played the Spurs, although Maddie almost beat the Spurs by himself, but I have to say that Maddie's last shot still did not score.
In terms of key shots, Maddie only has an all-star level, far from reaching a superstar or even a superstar.
On the Trail Blazers' side, Mike Dunleavy naturally let the team drag the time, preferably until the 24th second of offensive time, and then make a shot, preferably and preferably score.
Of course, Mike Dunleavy kind of thought beautifully.
When the game actually started, Tracy McGrady got the basketball and rushed to the Trail Blazers' basket alone.
Brad Miller sideways gave a cover, and veteran center Sabonis was a step slower to make up the defense, watching Maddie quickly form a wave of offense and score 2 points.
It took only six seconds for this wave of attacks, and the difference had narrowed to four points.
Mike Dunleavy on the sidelines was in a hurry, jumping and shouting: "Stare at him!" Stop him! ”
Then, Maddie scored, and Mike Dunleavy was very helpless and could only continue to shout twice: "Slow down!" Slow down! ”
The Grizzlies played too fast, and Mike Dunleavy was afraid that the team's main control Damon Stadamayle would forget the setup during the timeout, and he also accelerated his rush.
But it doesn't look like Damon Stadamier is that stupid, the flying squirrel slowly controls the ball to the frontcourt, makes an OK gesture, and then controls the time.
The Trail Blazers' lineup has no superstars, the strongest and most famous is Roaring Rashid Wallace, followed by Damon Stadmayre and Steve Smith, but these two peaks are only All-Stars, and now they have declined, and they can only be regarded as ordinary starters.
The Trail Blazers were able to play fourth in the West with this lineup, relying on their wholeness.
So, the flying squirrel controls the time, and the other four players are still meticulously running.
Arvidas Sabonis sideways gave Steve Smith a single block, and in the 22nd second of offensive time, Steve Smith received the ball and shot directly.
Maddie's defense kept up and rushed up to give a direct distraction.
With a bang, the ball didn't go in, and Sean Marion grabbed the rebound.
With seconds left in the game, the Grizzlies passed the ball directly to the backcourt and gave it to Maddie, who rushed forward with the ball frantically.
While the Trail Blazers' defense was still in place, Maddie rushed into the restricted area, jumped a step, and scored another 2 points on a layup!
With a bang, the Rose Garden Arena was full of exclamations, and John Cazzano also opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say.
Maddie scored again, and it took only seven seconds for the Grizzlies to attack.
After two waves of rapid attacks, the difference became two points, and with 30 seconds left in the game, everything was possible in an instant......
On the court, the Trail Blazers' offense, this time, Damon Stadmeier still did not rush to attack, but he was not stalling for time, but looking for opportunities.
2 points difference, no matter what, the Trail Blazers' offense this time must score, scoring a goal can lock the victory, and if you don't score, you will face the threat of being killed by the Grizzlies, so the Trail Blazers' attack is cautious and does not dare to play at all.
It was still Steve Smith, who received the ball after covering, but Maddie arrived later, and Steve Smith didn't dare to shoot directly, controlled it twice, and passed it out.
Detrevschramf received the ball, also controlled it, and finally, the ball was given to Rasheed Wallace, roared Tianzun single, turned his back and jumped!
At this moment, all the eyes of the Rose Garden Arena were on the orange basketball, and the basketball flew higher and higher, bang, no score!
There was a boom, and the audience was full of exclamations.
When Sean Marion's thick black hand touched the basketball, Qiao Hai stood up and signaled to the referee on the sidelines to take a timeout.
With a beep, Sean Marion grabbed the rebound, and the Grizzlies took a timeout at the same time!
Ten seconds, the Grizzlies are 2 points behind and are going to die!
Qiao Hai took a deep breath, picked up a tactical board, and quickly thought of a set of lore tactics.
"Chauncey, wait a moment for you to come on the field and replace Sharif."
Qiao Hai decided to let Billups appear, and at the critical moment, since he had a chance to win, Qiao Hai also decided to focus on stability and replace Mr. Billups with the key to win steadily.
Then, the main players on the field formed a circle, and Qiao Hai began to arrange the lore tactics......
