Chapter 57
Memphis Grizzlies head coach Hubie Brown called a timeout and set up a three-pointer.

Gasol served from the sideline, and the players of the Grizzlies and Cavaliers gathered near the free throw line. Through the cooperation of the screen, Battier ran out of the three-point space, and the three-point arc received Gasol's pass.

Battier catches the ball and shoots a three-pointer directly with his hands up and down, making a precise three-pointer.

98 to 96! !
With 23 seconds left before the end of the game, the Grizzlies were only two points behind and the Cavaliers had the ball.

After receiving the baseline serve from Ilgauskas, James was attacked by Mike Miller and Shane Battier. James kept the ball calmly. After more than 5 seconds, Battier could only foul and send James a free throw.

At the free throw line, James didn't have the slightest nervousness on his face. He took two shots of the basketball and made the first free throw.
bang
The basketball hits the rim and misses.

Fortunately, James took a deep breath, and the second free throw finally fell into the basket steadily, making one of two free throws.

99 to 96! !
The Grizzlies had the ball and were only three-pointers behind, with 16 seconds left and a chance to tie.

Replace Stromile Swift, who has no three-point ability, with Jason Williams. The Grizzlies quickly serve the baseline ball. Jason Williams quickly dribbles the ball into the frontcourt, facing James' defense,

Jason Williams didn't press the time, a fake pass, a gorgeous pass, passed to Mike Miller outside the three-point line on the left.

This pass was so amazing that everyone was in a daze.

Mike Miller's playing style is simple and steady, he rarely makes mistakes, and firmly catches the basketball. However, he knows that his hand feeling is not at its best, and Ricky Davis also rushed over quickly.
At this time, Shane Battier on the right got rid of Miles' defense through a clever counter-run, and Mike Miller quickly passed the ball.

In the fourth quarter, Battier turned into a superstar directly. He made 4 of 3 shots and 3 of 2 three-pointers. He scored the highest 8 points and 4 rebounds in a single quarter. He performed very well in the second half. He is a trustworthy and reliable teammate. .

When Battier arrives at the ball, he catches the ball without making any adjustments. He jumps up and shoots directly. He is famous for his big heart. From catching the ball, jumping up, and shooting, the whole movement is absolutely unnecessary.

The basketball draws a beautiful arc in mid-air.

With a clear sound,
The basketball fell into the basket steadily, the knife was raised and dropped, and the three-pointer was accurately hit.

99 to 99! !
Landing, Battier hit a three-pointer that tied the ball, clenched his fists in celebration, and soon threw himself into defense.

At this time, there was only 1 second left in the time. The Cavaliers, who had no timeout, served in a hurry and were directly intercepted by Mike Miller, and the time was over.

The Cavaliers' offense was fruitless, the two sides tied the regular season, and the two sides entered overtime.

In overtime, the Cavaliers James and Ricky Davis once again shined as double stars, shooting from inside and outside, each scoring 4 points. With 9 seconds left in the game, the Cavaliers led the Grizzlies again with 109 to 106 3 points.

Grizzlies head coach Hubie Brown called a timeout and arranged a three-pointer tactic again. Shane Battier, who was in excellent form, made the final three-pointer.

Coming back from a timeout, Battier ran out for an open shot through the screen of his teammate.

Jason Williams calmly passed the basketball to Battier's hands.

Outside the 60-degree three-point line on the right, Battier caught the ball and shot a three-pointer. James rushed forward and sealed Battier's eyes.

The basketball crosses a high arc,

bang
The basketball hit the rim and flew out.

Battier broke out suddenly in the fourth quarter, and the Cavaliers were not stupid, so they would naturally attack him and focus on defense. Unexpectedly, the Grizzlies wanted to play this game, but it turned out to be in the hands of the Cavaliers.

Fortunately, when Battier made a shooting action, Gasol rushed to the basket, used his solid rebounding skills, overwhelmed Ilgauskas, and grabbed a key offensive rebound. With a single hop, you can put the basketball into the hoop.

However, Gasol's mind was very clear, knowing that the Grizzlies wanted three points, not two points, so he chose to split the ball to the outside.

The Grizzlies have quite a few players who can shoot three-pointers. At the bottom corner of the triangle on the left, Mike Miller catches the ball and jumps up, directly facing Ricky's defense, and shoots a three-pointer.

swish
The basketball went through the heart and fell into the basket with precision. The Grizzlies were lucky and hit a three-pointer to tie the game again, dragging the game into overtime again.

109 to 109! !
As the saying goes, if God gives and does not take, God will retaliate.

The Cavaliers led the Grizzlies by 24 points at the most. Near the end of the game, the Cavaliers still had two chances to win by three points. However, the Cavaliers did not defend the Grizzlies' three-pointers. It was equalized by a three-pointer.

So, the second overtime game started, the Cavaliers lost all their luck, and the offensive shots were repeatedly missed. Instead, the Grizzlies made two three-pointers to tie the game, their morale was boosted, and they were in good condition. A multi-point blooming situation was played, and a wave of flow took away the victory of the game.

After double overtime, the whole game ended. The Grizzlies trailed the Cavaliers by 24 points at halftime. They fought back in the second half and hit a tie-breaking three-pointer at the last moment. Entering overtime, they hit another tie-breaker three-pointer. Achieved the final victory and staged a soul-stirring reversal.

In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the Cavaliers by 122 to 115, 7 points, and achieved an away victory.

In Lin Bai’s previous life, in the 03-04 season, the 10-man rotation system implemented by Grizzlies coach Hubie Brown became a hot topic. Last season, the Grizzlies’ record was 54 losses and 28 wins. , The Grizzlies will have a record of 52 wins and 30 losses, achieving a great leap forward.

With this achievement, Hubie Brown overwhelmed Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle and won the honor of the best head coach.

At the same time, the Grizzlies are also known as the 'turnaround boys'. You know, the Grizzlies pulled back 14 games when they fell behind in the third quarter and reversed the game. It has to be said, This kind of performance is really jaw-dropping and eye-opening.

In this game, Pau Gasol showed his superstar potential, making 20 of 12 shots, 18 of 13 free throws, scoring 37 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks, leading the Grizzlies to the last laugh.

Mike Miller made 18 of 7 shots, 6 of 3 three-pointers, and 4 of 3 free throws. He scored 20 points, 13 assists and 8 rebounds. Continuing his life for the Grizzlies' final victory, the scorer showed his true colors.

In addition to the extraordinary performance of the two starters, the Grizzlies also have two surprise players who stood up.

The No.1 player is the first to recommend Battier. He made 18 of 9 shots, 6 of 3 three-pointers, and 2 of 1 free throws. He scored 22 points and 13 rebounds.

The other is Stromile Swift, who made 11 of 7 shots, 10 of 5 free throws, scored 19 points and 7 rebounds. Some people say that his IQ is low, but his physical talent is sincere powerful.

The performance of the Cavaliers' players rose first and then declined. Among them, James was a superstar. He made 28 of 14 shots, 6 of 3 three-pointers, 3 of 2 free throws, 33 points, 16 rebounds and 8 assists. He performed very well, but the key Ball ability needs to be improved.

Ricky made 25 of 11 shots and scored 25 points, 7 assists and 6 rebounds. He performed well.

Ilgauskas made 15 of 5 shots, scored 17 points and 11 rebounds, and performed steadily. However, physical strength is a test, and he hardly showed any performance in overtime.

Ira Newbell and JR Bremer scored 10 and 13 points respectively. Lin Bai made 6 of 2 shots and scored 6 points and 2 assists. His performance was still unstable, ups and downs like a roller coaster.
