In the first quarter of the game, Iverson didn't force a shot, so he had a high shooting percentage and was in a hot state that was visible to the naked eye.

But after playing for 12 minutes, Iverson also needed to rest.

So, at the beginning of the second quarter, Iverson didn't play.

Aaron Mackie played with a half-main and half-bench lineup.

On the Grizzlies side, the Grizzlies played purely off the bench, Mike Bibi Ga, Ginobili Galahim, this lineup against the 76ers without Iverson, the Grizzlies broke out directly.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Grizzlies beat the 76ers 6-0, and the lead was extended to 10 points.

Then, Larry Brown called Iverson, who had just rested less than two minutes, from the bench and waited for the deadball time to make a substitution.

While waiting for the dead ball, the Grizzlies' bench lineup continued to exert force.

Manuginobili scored two more in a row to give the 76ers just two points, and the Grizzlies extended the margin to 12 points, and then McBibby drew a foul on Matt Geiger to give the game a dead ball.

When Bibby made free throws, Iverson came on the court, Qiao Hai thought about it, and also called Maddie from the bench, replacing Stephen Jackson in the third position with Maddie.

And make an arrangement: "Tracy, get on the field, get the ball more, shoot more, score more." ”

At the end, Qiao Hai added another sentence: "Let Mike (Bibby) go to defend Iverson, and the others will make up for it, be sure to lock Iverson!" ”

……

McBiby hit both free throws to give the Grizzlies a 14-point lead.

It can be said that the balance of victory in the game has fallen in favor of the Grizzlies, and at this time, Iverson was also anxious, and after he got on the court, he directly opened his hand to ask for the ball and forced a single one.

In the face of the Grizzlies' flanking attack, Iverson forced a shot.

Bang, don't go in.

Rasiunestrovic grabbed the rebound, and the Grizzlies had another chance to open up the gap, but Maddy rushed to the front court with the ball and missed the jumper on the fast break.

The 76ers grabbed the rebound and played in reverse.

Iverson received the ball, and in the face of Maddy's winding defense, he quickly rushed two steps with the ball, and then suddenly dribbled under the crotch, changed hands and changed direction, passing Maddie from the other side!

Maddie couldn't keep up, and Iverson took two more steps and ran into Ginobili's reinforcement.

But Ginobili's defense only lasted for one second, the two were close to each other, and the next second, Iverson directly changed direction and passed Ginobili again!

After connecting the two, there was an exclamation on the sidelines.

"Aaron Iverson has passed Manuginobili again! He's still rushing! ”

Finally, Iverson faced Mike Bibby, dribbled behind one back, stepped back to the side, and made a jumper!

Swish!

Ball in!

With a bang, the entire GM arena fell silent.

Qiao Hai also spread his hands helplessly, and then turned his head.

Such Iverson is really too difficult to defend!

The 76ers bench is already boiling, and Qiao Hai knows that at this time, the Grizzlies must fight back, either by playing the 76ers with one ball, or by killing Iverson in the next game, otherwise this game will be difficult.

Therefore, Qiao Hai turned his head back and shouted into the arena: "Fight back!" ”

Maddie understood, and after a quick backcourt serve, he made a gesture.

After possession of the ball to the front court, Maddie gave the ball to Ginobili and walked inside.

Ginobili received the ball outside the three-point line on the right side, dribbled under his hips, accelerated directly, took a European step, and rushed inside.

Then he jumped up and attracted the Rodney Buford defense, and Maddie on the other side was empty.

So, the next step is simple.

Manuginobili jumped up and passed the ball and hoisted it directly over the basket on the other side.

On the other side of the basket, Maddie jumped up, raised her hands high, spread her wings and flew high, and received a basketball in the air, a big windmill, the movements were stretched and elegant, and the flat frame and hands exploded.

Bang!

The GM arena was full of boiling, and McBlin shouted excitedly: "Big windmill with both hands!" Maddie wreaks havoc on the basket! ”

Mav Albert also shouted: "Iverson connected two people with his front foot, scored in the face of Mike Bibby's defensive jumper, and Maddie dunked back with his back foot, this game is so exciting!" ”

Maddy's return shot was effective, and the cheers at the GM arena continued until the 76ers' offense turned on.

In terms of momentum, the two teams are evenly matched.

Looking at the 14-point difference, the Grizzlies still have a big advantage.

In this quarter, Qiao Hai gave Maddie unlimited firing rights, and Iverson was eager to chase the points, and began to force singles at all costs, and the game quickly evolved into a confrontation between Maddie and Iverson, but there was also a Ginobili on the Grizzlies' side.

The 76ers' defense is under too much pressure, and the advantage on the court still belongs to the Grizzlies.

At halftime, the Grizzlies held a 17-point lead.

There is really no suspense in such a game, no matter how strong Iverson is, in the face of the Grizzlies' encirclement and interception, the efficiency will definitely decline.

In the second quarter, Maddy, who had unlimited fire, hit 5 shots and scored 13 points on 9 shots, while Iverson on the other side shot 5 of 11 and scored 12 points.

After halftime, Maddy scored 21 points and Iverson scored 24 points, and the two were almost the same.

Coupled with the Grizzlies' 17-point lead, this game can be said to be quite stable.

In the second half, Iverson's physical strength declined, and the Grizzlies maintained a siege and interception of Iverson, and Iverson's shooting percentage dropped sharply.

In the third quarter, Iverson scored 14 points on 6-of-14 shooting.

In this quarter, Maddie rested for most of the quarter and came on the court in the second half, scoring 8 points on 4-of-5 shooting.

In this way, he scored 38 points in one third quarter and 29 points in the other third quarter, and in terms of scoring, Iverson still had a relatively large lead.

But in the fourth quarter, the energetic Maddie scored nine points in a row in the opening three minutes, while Iverson continued to play iron and only scored two points on 1-of-4 shooting.

Then, the game goes into garbage time.

Both teams pulled off their main players, and Maddie and Iverson's stats were frozen.

In the whole game, Maddy scored 38 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, and Iverson scored 40 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists and 3 steals, and the data of the two was not much different.

But Maddie's was more efficient, and Qiao Hai's plan eventually succeeded.

In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the 76ers with a score of 119-98 and won the first game of the Finals.

McBrin said after the game: "The Grizzlies won easily again, there is no team in this league that can play, and it seems that the Grizzlies are not far from winning all." ”

"Iverson did a great individual performance, but his team lost the game, and Maddy's individual performance was not bad at all, and overall, Maddie won this game."

"The Grizzlies won the game, Maddie won his matchup with Iverson......"

After a very smooth victory, Qiao Hai's confidence also soared, and he changed his original goal, they were going to sweep the opponent to win the championship!
