Chapter 354 Copying the Spurs
The Grizzlies attacked, Jason Williams dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and still hoisted the basketball into the interior, it seemed that he was sure to use his height advantage to face the Suns.

Now that the Suns have the speed, the Grizzlies will use their height advantage to the fullest.

Seeing Marion's one-on-one fight against Gasol, Richardson could only let go of Battier's defense, rush to the inside, and together with Marion, double-team against Gasol.

Gasol's organizational support is very strong, and he is also a team player. He did not force a shot, but pulled the ball up to separate the basketball from the outside.

Outside the three-point line in the left bottom corner, Battier caught the ball and faced the frame without any hesitation.

Swish!
Battier's shooting posture is very typical, the touch is very soft, the three-pointer accurately hits the bull's-eye, and hits the net hollow.

5 to 3! !
The Grizzlies' offense is very good, and the offense is very layered. They use Gasol's dislocation advantage to play singles, and then attract the Suns' flanking attack. The team hit the ground running.

The Suns attacked. Although Nash's speed was suppressed, Nash still played with ease in positional battles.

Diamond tactical play, Nash took the ball in the middle and dribbled continuously to break through Jason Williams, reached the three-point line, and played a pick-and-roll screen with Stoudemire.

After Nash got rid of Jason Williams, he immediately exerted force on his feet and dribbled the ball to the inside to accelerate the breakthrough.

One step from the free throw line, there was no extra movement. Before White could not make up the defense in time, he immediately drew his bow and set up an arrow, and a small throw of horseback archery came.

The basketball flew over White's head, drawing a high arc, as if it had eyes, and hit the center of the backboard with precision, and then bounced into the net, scoring two points.

5 to 5! !
In the transition between offense and defense, Jason Williams dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, one step away from the three-point line, suddenly pulled the ball up, opened his hand and made a three-pointer and shot a jumper.

Jason Williams' style of play is very gorgeous, and from time to time there will be unexpected attacks with flashes of inspiration, and the long-range three-pointer is his hallmark. With this long-range three-pointer, his popularity is very high .

Bang! !

Jason Williams didn't feel good, and the three-pointer made a long-range sneak attack and missed the shot, and the basketball bounced out of the frame.

White stuck Stoudemire under the basket, Gasol stuck Marion, Battier rushed to grab the rebound and got the basketball.

Landed and returned to Jason Williams to organize the offense.

At this time, Mike Miller on the right suddenly ran back along the side of the three-point line with the ball, attracting Joe Johnson to turn around and chase, and immediately cut inside.

There was a clear snap, and Jason Williams made an imaginative back pass, which seemed to stop everyone's time for a second.

The pass like a scalpel tore through the Suns' defense in an instant. When Mike Miller got the ball, he easily pulled the ball and made a three-step layup.

He jumped up from the basket and made a close range challenge.

Swish!
The basketball was picked directly into the basket, like a layup in training, and scored two points.

7 to 5! !
Mike Miller's offense with the ball is mediocre, but his offense without the ball is superb. Joe Johnson didn't notice it for a while, and was immediately tricked by Mike Miller.

Looking back, in addition to oppressing the Suns' offensive speed, the Grizzlies also began to encircle and suppress the Suns' inside offensive firepower.

Nash dribbled to the frontcourt and played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire.

Nash was immediately flanked by Jason Williams and Mike Miller.

Nash's face was very calm. The Suns' unsolvable pick-and-roll tactics have been targeted for defense since their reputation and achievements.

Therefore, in the face of a two-person attack, Nash responded very calmly.

A step down dribble, take a big step back, widen the distance from the defensive player, immediately pull the ball up and jump up, hands over the top, and pass the basketball to the right outside the three-point line.

Joe Johnson caught the ball, lifted the ball to the sky, took a big step laterally, and directly dribbled the ball to the inside to break through.

After reaching the horns, Joe Johnson pulled the ball up without any hesitation, and made a two-point jump shot.

The basketball bounced on the rim and rolled steadily into the rim.

7 to 7! !
Joe Johnson's personal scoring is very reliable. If he just blocks the inside attack, Joe Johnson's mid-range shot will not be soft.

The Grizzlies dribbled the ball to the front court unhurriedly. Gasol was defended by Marion around the front, and it was difficult to receive the pass attack.

Gasol's body is thin, his strength is inferior to Marion's, his body is tall, and his flexibility and speed are not as good as Marion's.

Since he couldn't catch the basketball, Gasol simply pulled to the high position and played a pick-and-roll with Jason Williams.

Jason Williams knew that facing Marion's defense in the wrong position, he did not have much advantage. With Marion's top defensive skills, he was still at a disadvantage. Therefore, Jason Williams did not single out Marion. Intended, but the ball to Gasol's hands.

Faced with Nash's defensive loopholes, Gasol naturally did not hesitate after receiving the ball, and immediately faced Nash's defense, drew the bow and arrow, and shot a two-pointer jumper.

His touch is as smooth as silk, and there is no problem with the breathing rhythm of his shots. He raises the knife and falls, hits the bull's-eye with precision, and succeeds in two-pointers.

9 to 7! !
The offense of the two sides was very efficient, and there was a feeling that no one could do anything to the opponent.

The Suns rushed up resolutely if they could speed up, using their speed and physical talent to fight and run. If their offensive speed was suppressed, the Suns would safely use diamond tactics to deal with the Grizzlies.

For the Suns' outside offense, Joe Johnson and Richardson have a good touch. They fired frequently from outside the three-point line and gave the Suns a lot of support for their inside offense.

The inside offense of the Grizzlies encircling the Suns has become less determined.

After all, the Suns' three-pointers are not vegetarian.

Marion's off-ball cuts, mid-range shots, or hitting the basket are all very threatening.

The Grizzlies have a feeling of neglecting the other, and the defense is very tearful.

Taking advantage of the uncoordinated defense of the Grizzlies, the Suns were very resolute in their offense and shot without hesitation. They played an offensive attack that was all soldiers, multi-point blooming, and offensive firepower like clouds and flowing water. The Grizzlies couldn't hold their heads up at all. .

Nash showed his housekeeping skills, whether it was breaking through Jason Williams, riding a small archery throw after playing a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire, or an emergency stop jumper from the free throw line, or even a three-point line. Leng Jian shot three-pointers with ease, and the wind flourished.

Moreover, the most threatening thing is Nash's delivery of ammunition like a needle.

Under the support of Nash's organization, Richardson got an easy three-pointer and a jumper from the outside.

Richardson, who has the title of the three-point leader, was not soft on his hands. He almost made three-pointers, which made the Grizzlies look ashamed.

Joe Johnson's individual singles are a sharp weapon for scoring when the offensive in the positional battle is not smooth.

On defense, Mike Miller can't do anything about Joe Johnson's powerful offensive firepower. Three-pointers or two-pointers are as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

Although Marion's shooting posture is a bit ugly, it is also chilling to be accurate.

That is to say, Stoudemire's mid-range shot is unstable, otherwise, the Grizzlies will lose more points.

After the first quarter, the Phoenix Suns played violent offensive firepower, leading the Memphis Grizzlies by 39 points 28 to 11.

On the commentary stage, Barkley shook his head, and said in a serious manner: "The Grizzlies' defense has no way to deal with the Suns' offensive firepower.

On offense, the Grizzlies learned from the Spurs' twin-tower tactics to deal with the Suns, but they couldn't achieve the desired tactical effect.

After all, Gasol is not Duncan. His style of play is too soft, and his low-post singles are not at Duncan's offensive level at all.Without strong low-post singles, the Suns' defense cannot be mobilized, and the Grizzlies' corner three-point tactics cannot achieve the desired effect.

Battier does have Bowen's strength, whether it is three-pointers or personal defense, they are all underestimated.However, Battier is still too young now, without Bowen's toughness, even if he knows he can't make a shot, as long as Duncan passes him the ball, he dares to let go and shoot.

But Battier is a team-based team, and wants to play more steadily and smarter. However, the Spurs' left zone offense does not need to be self-righteous, but to resolutely execute tactics. Tool man.

In a word, Battier is still too young, and Gasol is too soft, so if he can't learn the essence of the Spurs, he will naturally suffer. "

Kenny Smith nodded, then took over the topic and said: "It's not just the problem on the left side, Mike Miller on the right side and Manu Ginobili are completely different players.

Mike Miller plays off the ball and needs the assist ability of his teammates. When the Grizzlies need a strong breakthrough ability, Mike Miller can't play it. Ginobili is responsible for scoring in the Spurs.

In addition, Jason Williams' organization is no better than Tony Parker.The style of play of the two, one is gorgeous and changeable, the other is unpretentious, one likes three-point long shots, and the other likes two-point mid-range shots.

The Grizzlies want to copy the skills and tactics of the Spurs, but they seem to lack the stars to execute the tactics. How can the Spurs, who are half a bottle of water, be the opponent of the Suns.

After just one quarter, the Grizzlies had no chance of beating the Suns.

Now, the only thing to watch is the Grizzlies' bench players, to see if they can move back to a game?The second quarter was equally exciting! ! "
