At the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies led the Raptors by 13 points at 33:20, and no one expected that in the first four minutes of the game, the two teams were still playing wildly.
Then, Qiao Hai took a pause, and the situation of the game immediately changed.
The Grizzlies opened up the offense, Maddy swiped assists, and the other four players scored on various open shots.
Butchcart's reaction was a little slower, and by the time he reacted and hurriedly called the first timeout of the game, the Grizzlies were already leading by almost 10 points, and Butchcuter's set-up adjustments didn't help.
Soon, the Grizzlies extended their lead further, scoring 31 straight points in the last eight minutes of the first quarter and the offense exploded.
Butch Carter opened the game with one timeout, but in the second half of the quarter, he had to call two timeouts in a row in order to salvage the slump.
Obviously, in the confrontation with Qiao Hai in the first quarter, Butch Carter lost badly, adjusted too slowly, and couldn't keep up with Qiao Hai's rhythm at all.
Every time Butchcarter pauses, Qiao Hai will make forward-looking pre-adjustments, and then accurately predict the Raptors' adjustments and restrain the Raptors' tactics everywhere.
In the first quarter, the Grizzlies led by 13 points.
In the second quarter, Qiao Hai replaced the double control of Chaunsibilups and Earle Boykins, and Sean Marion played the No. 3 position, which was roughly a rare appearance in regular time, and the center was on Rasian Nestelovic.
Qiao Hai was also surprisingly replaced Maddie with a break in advance.
The main thing is the first quarter of the big battle, it was completely Maddie who broke through the Grizzlies' offense, his consumption was too great, Qiao Hai could only let Maddie rest first, and the team did not have Rahim, in the real strong matchup, Rahim's absence had a great impact, and the Grizzlies' second team directly lacked a player who could score alone.
With the main lineup in place, Maddie and Raheem will stagger in the second quarter to ensure that there is always someone to score in the second quarter and the team can maintain the pressure on the opponent.
Now that Raheem is out, Johi can only let Maddy play the second half of the second quarter, and let the fresh Billups and Earleboykins support the team's offense in the first half.
With such an adjustment, in the first half of the second quarter, the Grizzlies' offense played average, and Earleboygins' state was not as good as the previous game, and the effect of singles was limited.
The Raptors used Steve Francis to play the first half, and without Ragabel's constraints, Francis scored consecutive breakaways.
The Raptors, on the contrary, played vigorously and quickly narrowed the margin to single digits.
When the difference became 7 points, Qiao Hai went directly to Maddie and replaced Sean Marion.
Maddie came out and played against Francis, and soon, the Grizzlies brought the advantage back.
Butch Carter's adjustment was a step slower, and by the time he traded Carter back, the Grizzlies had another 11-point lead.
In the second half of the second quarter, the game turned into a pair of Maddie and Carter.
At halftime, the Grizzlies led the Raptors by 14 points.
I have to say that in this game, the stars on both sides - Maddie and Carter played five or five, and it was the head coaches on both sides who really decided the direction of this game.
After a 15-minute halftime break, Qiao Hai directly put out the team's full main lineup.
Unlike the starter, the No. 2 Joe sea beat Billups and stepped up the attack.
After the offense was strengthened, the defense did not fall.
Steve Francis was targeted to death by Billups, Joe Hay also arranged a bag defense for Francis, and the Grizzlies' defensive strategy was that Carter could score, but other players couldn't, especially Steve Francis.
In this game, Steve Francis played very depressed, and in the first quarter, he was constantly defended by Ragabel, a defender full of trash talk and all kinds of small actions, and all kinds of waves of iron, and finally broke out in the first half of the second quarter, and then he was replaced by coach Butch Carter.
In the third quarter, he was targeted by the Grizzlies' defense, and Steve Francis became more and more dissatisfied.
Soon, under Qiao Hai's reasonable and appropriate adjustments, the third quarter was over, and the garbage time came again.
In the third quarter, the Grizzlies beat the Raptors 30-20, and the difference expanded to 24 points.
In the final quarter, Butch Carter continued to play the main line, and Qiao Hai forced the Grizzlies' water cooler players, point guard Earl Boygins, scoring guard Ragabel, small forward Sammark, center Rasiunestrovich, and the second quarter for a full quarter.
Although this lineup is a water cooler lineup, it is actually the main rotation lineup of the Grizzlies, and if you really want to fight, it is completely worthy of the main lineup of the Raptors who have no intention of fighting.
Steve Francis and Vince Carter were indeed out of love and the game was clearly lost, but Butch Carter had to show in front of the home crowd that he would lose even if he lost, so they had to continue to play.
Francis has no intention of playing, taking the ball is to go it alone, all kinds of wave shots, Vince Carter simply doesn't attack, he is not interested in brushing data, especially when the opponent also has his cousin Maddie, the fourth quarter just started, Maddie left the court to rest, and there is no idea of brushing data in garbage time at all.
Vince Carter is even more disdainful of swiping data.
As a result, the Grizzlies' bench rotation lineup also won points, and the point difference continued to widen, with 26 points and 28 points...... It's slowly getting to 30 minutes......
Butchcart looked confused, and the Air Canada arena was full of boos, and he wanted to show his glorious attitude of losing even if he lost, but it turned out to be a tragedy, and helplessly, Butchcart could only call a few timeouts in a row to pull the Raptors' decline back.
In the end, the Grizzlies won by 30 points.
In this game, five people scored and six scored double-doubles, and the highest score in the game was Maddy, who scored 26 points, 7 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals, and broke the double-double assist.
In addition to Maddie, Shaun Marion, Mike Bibby, Brad Miller, Chauncy Billups and Ragabel scored in double figures.
On the Raptors' side, Carter, who disdains to brush the data, is the best in the game for the Raptors, he scored 22 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks on 8-of-17 shooting, and his performance was not worse than Maddy's, but Steve Francis in 6 of 21 shots in the game dragged him back, and Francis encountered the Grizzlies' defense, scoring only 18 points on 21 shots, which was extremely inefficient.
Of course, when it comes to role players, the Grizzlies also have the upper hand.
Canadian derby, Grizzlies win.
Maddie and Carter's cousins fight, tie.
Maddie's battle against his old club, Maddie wins.
And Sean Marion and Steve Francis's No. 5 show battle list, this is a bit difficult to compare, because one is the core play, and the other is the role player's style of play, but Sean Marion shot 5 of 11 from the field, scored 15 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, at least the contribution to the team is still positive, unlike Francis, who is a wave of iron, and the defense is not dedicated, and the contribution to the team in this game is completely negative.
So, the No. 5 show is against the leader, and the No. 5 show Sean Marion wins!
Qiao Hai vs. Butch Carter, Finish!
