Madden was one of my most loved games as a child

The halfcourt offense is also played through Madden. Bales' goal is to ensure that the ball is delivered to her lower down so that she can either score Madden 22 coins, or kick-out to shooters if the defense breaks down. Madden is executing a lot of quick swing passes due to this which has produced an impressive career-high 2.5 assists per game in the first three games.

"I love (the added accountability)," Madden said. "I know that sometimes I'm in a position to get the team to go and that's why I like whenever we can be able to get the ball moving fast and also me being out there, that might give us more motivation."

Madden's offensive partner is Chamberlin her perimeter game is in perfect harmony with Madden's inside presence. While Chamberlin is struggling with shooting the ball to start this year, she averaged 15.9 scoring per match last season. scoring 45% of her total shots and 72 triples at a 41% clip.

Her passing may be her most valuable contribution, however given that what Blue River boasts in shooting it lacks in the area of guard playmaking. Chamberlin's 3.2 assists per game in 2013 is now 4.3 per game to date this season. The defensive attention she garners helps Madden and the other shooters on the team succeed.

"We've definitely grown closer then when she first appeared. She was shy at first but now, me and her laugh around. We've been friends when we play," Madden said. "My sophomore year, we didn't really have a (knockdown) shooter so the only method they used to stop us was to protect me in the post cheap mut coins. We lost that game in semi-state. A good Maci available helps a lot."
