Chapter 355
In the second quarter, Grizzlies coach Mike Fratello replaced James Posey and Bunch Wells with White and Mike Miller.

After all, the Grizzlies trailed by 10 points, and he didn't dare to rotate indiscriminately.

D'Antoni is even more extreme. He only replaced Stoudemire, who was not in good shape, with Hunter, and only changed one player.

The Grizzlies had the ball first. Jason Williams dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and made a pick-and-roll swap with Wells.

Bang Chiwells was nicknamed "Bangzi". Regardless of his height of only 198cm, his muscles and strength make him an outside player, but he has the offensive style of an inside player.

I saw Wells forcefully broke through Nash in the middle, carried his body, rushed into the three-point line, moved a step sideways, and immediately exerted force with his feet to speed up the breakthrough to the inside.

One step from the free throw line, pull the ball up, make a three-step layup, hit the basketball into the basket at close range, and score a two-pointer.

30 to 39! !
The Suns attacked, Nash dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, arced at the top of the three-point line, and made a bow-like fake move. After deceiving Jason Williams' defensive focus, he made a fake shot and shot inside the three-point line.

During the march, he stepped down to dribble, shot the basketball from the right side to the left side, took a big step, and then made a posture of pulling the ball and shooting.

Jason Williams desperately turned back to chase, Nash's continuous change of direction and rhythm made his body center of gravity very unstable, that is, his height was relatively short, so he was not shaken to the floor, and he could Dismantling the body and then chasing back, he has already made the defensive action old.

Nash took it easy, dunked the basketball back to the right side, took advantage of the opportunity to enter the inside line, pulled the ball up, made a three-step layup, passed the entire defense line of the Grizzlies under the basket, and then passed the basketball from Gasol's waist to the left.

Hunt received the ball and jumped up. There was a bang and the sound of exploding the basket sounded.

30 to 41! !
In this ball, Nash used his superb surmounting skills to pass the Grizzlies' defense line as if crossing the road in the early morning.

Off the court, the fans and audience were impressed by Nash's freehand, easy two-pointer, exciting blood boiling, and applauded one after another, falling like rain hitting plantains, and thunderous cheers were also overwhelming, coming with a bang.

The Grizzlies' offense, and Nash's almost humiliating technical crushing, made Jason Williams very upset. As long as he was talking about offense, he was not afraid of challenging anyone.

Although he was unhappy, there was no fluctuation on his face, and he walked slowly through halftime, pressing the rhythm and grinding the ground.

Suddenly, Chiwells seemed to be determined to use his body to crush Nash to play this game, and ran over again, looking for a transposition attack with Jason Williams.

Wells' active mobilization distracted Nash and Joe Johnson, and most of their defensive energy. Jason Williams' eyes lit up, and he suddenly stepped down with a dribble and retreated, widening the defensive distance from Nash, immediately , drew the bow and set the arrow, bent his knees and jumped up, his body bloomed in the air, his right wrist flicked quickly, and the basketball flew away quickly like an off-string bow and arrow, stabbing towards the basket.

Swish!
There was a crisp netting sound.

Jason Williams's specialty is a super long-range three-pointer, with a knife in his hand, and he hits the bull's-eye with precision, and hits the net hollow, causing a burst of white waves.

White Chocolate began to exert strength, and he made a direct shot, hitting a wonderful ultra-long three-pointer.

33 to 41! !
Next, the Grizzlies stepped up the intensity and physicality of their defense.

During the offense of the Suns, Nash used the step-down dribble to change direction, shortened his body, accelerated to the inside, strolled in the courtyard, as if visiting his own back garden, and dribbled to the basket.

It's just that, like a man at the basket, Nash couldn't find the space to attack, so Nash didn't rush, dribbled the ball directly to the bottom line, and killed it again.

There was a clear snap, and when the Grizzlies thought that Nash would obediently dribble out of the perimeter and reorganize, Nash made a coquettish back pass.

Outside the bottom line on the left for three-pointers, Richardson arrived with the ball and easily caught the ball to face the frame. Without any extra movement, he directly opened his hands and made a jumper for a three-pointer.

Battier was not completely shaken off, he quickly jumped up in front of Richardson, stretched out his big hand, covering Richardson's eyes overwhelmingly.

Blindfolding Dafa!

This is Battier's housekeeping defensive ability. His physical talent, height and long arms, like a bat, spread its wings and fly to the shooting player.

At that moment, the shooter felt like seeing Batman descend.

Richardson, despite his solid shooting, still suffered from a lot of interference.

Bang! !

There was a crisp iron strike, and Richardson missed a three-pointer that was bound to be scored, and the bullet flew out of the frame.

Posey stuck Marion, Gasol overwhelmed Hunter and grabbed the rebound.

The Grizzlies' offense, the cooperation of Jason Williams and Wells in front, played the feeling of golden double guns.

Still playing non-stop with a tactic, Jason Williams and Wells were outside the three-point line, and they carried out cover and switch offenses.

Wells held the ball in the middle and directly singled out Nash with his back.

Using his strong physique, Wells crushed Nash to the three-point line.

Seeing that Nash was bumped and staggered, and looked a little overwhelmed, the Suns' defense line began to shrink, using their strong mobility to flank Wells.

Wells has a tough style of play. After advancing to the free throw line, he immediately pulled the ball and turned around to force it up. Ignoring the pincer attack of the Suns Nash and Joe Johnson, he turned over and shot a jumper forcibly.

Although Wells has muscles and strength in his body, he is not so smart in playing. Otherwise, he would not be abandoned by the Blazers.

Wells relies on his body to play, and his mid-range shot is not stable. If he can distribute the ball, it will be a good opportunity for assists. Unfortunately, he only has the basket in his eyes.

Bang! !

Wells' strong attack missed, Posey was lucky to grab the offensive rebound, bounced off the ground quickly, and shot a jumper at the basket for the second attack.

Marion on the side jumped up, slapped his big hand, and landed on the basketball with his right hand, directly aiming at Posey's second offensive shot, and slapped out of the baseline.

Although the ball is still in the hands of the Grizzlies, there are only a few seconds left in the attack time. Afterwards, the Grizzlies quickly caught and shot, but failed to score.

As soon as the two sides changed the scene of efficient offensive in the frontcourt, they began to engage in flesh-to-blood collisions, and they all spent their energy on defense. They played very anxiously, and all kinds of offenses failed.

The offensive state of the Suns has declined seriously. Facing the sudden strengthening of the defensive rhythm of the Grizzlies, they are a little caught off guard.

Richardson lost his touch on the three-pointer from the outside. Joe Johnson faced Wells' muscular body and his offensive efficiency was not high.

Nash's breakthrough and pass organization were not so smooth, and Marion's air cuts and mid-range shots also failed.

The Suns' offense is not good, so they can only do a good job of defense seriously and keep their lead.

Facing the shrinking defensive line of the Suns, as well as a strong mobile defense.

The Grizzlies' offense can't be cheap. After all, the Grizzlies' offensive firepower is not strong, and they put a lot of attention on defense. If the offensive firepower is strong, then hell.

The golden guns of Jason Williams and Wells were shattered, and the offensive firepower was misfired.

There is no offensive space inside, and Gasol's style of play is soft, and he can't hit the inside, so he can only pull to the high position, cooperate with Jason Williams in the pick-and-roll, withdraw the inside play, or shoot from the mid-range, or attract the defense Then organize the pass.

It's just that the Grizzlies' shooting talent is not good.

Wells and Posey need to attack the inside, and the CIC is not stable.

Jason Williams' style of play is gorgeous, but his offensive shooting is also unstable.

Shane Battier has the ability to make three-pointers, but the Suns will target the defense, and there are not many opportunities to make shots.

At this time, Gasol's style of play is soft, which is reflected. When the Grizzlies need his low offensive score, he pulls out the mid-range shot.

Floating outside shooting, the hit rate is not guaranteed, even if he can support the organization to pass the ball, but they are not stars, they can’t do things in a timely manner, it’s good to be icing on the cake, you can ask them to be like the head of the star Play the same game?
At the end of the second quarter, relying on the power of the players on the bench, the Grizzlies recovered 22 points 20 to 2.

At the end of the first half, the Phoenix Suns led the Grizzlies by 59 points 50-9 and entered the locker room to rest.

After a 15-minute break, the game came back in the second half, and the two sides changed sides to fight again.

The Grizzlies' tactic is very clear, which is to drag the Suns to a positional battle and solve the opponent in defense.

It's just that although the Grizzlies want to copy the Spurs' twin-tower tactics, not every team has soul stars like Duncan and Ginobili.

The Grizzlies can't even find an All-Star player in the team.

Gasol does have this potential, but as a power forward, he faces fierce competition from the "four power forwards". Among the three superstars, who can he replace?
Without good execution players, just copying tactical play, the prospects will not be so good!

The Grizzlies head coach Fratello has rich experience and saw the team's problems. He pressed White back to the bench, with Gasol playing center and Posey playing power forward.

With the evolution of the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies' offensive firepower has been greatly improved.

However, the Suns switched back to all the main players in the third quarter, and their offensive firepower also performed extremely well.

In the third quarter, the two sides still played very anxiously. With Mike Miller's 11 points in a single quarter, the Grizzlies and the Suns, who played all soldiers, played a tie, and no one could do anything to their opponents.

28 to 28! !
The point difference between the two sides remained unchanged, still maintaining a gap of 9 points.

The game started in the fourth quarter, and D'Antoni implemented his 7-man rotation tactic and carried out a small rotation, which allowed the Suns to continue their offensive firepower quite well.

Although the Grizzlies' bench has good combat power, neither the starting lineup nor the bench has any superstars who can stand up and dominate the game at critical moments.

Although the Grizzlies can use team basketball to win, the Grizzlies are always at a loss in the face of the Suns' starting five that require superstars, scoring champions and titans.

In the fourth quarter, Nash and Stoudemire resorted to pick-and-roll tactics, steadily outputting more offensive fire for the Suns, shattering the Grizzlies' dream of reversing and winning, and firmly controlling the rhythm of the game.

27 to 25! !
Relying on the performance of the stars, the Suns opened the score by 2 points in the fourth quarter.

At the end of the game, in the first round of the playoffs, the Phoenix Suns defended their home court advantage and defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 114 to 103. 1 to 0 lead.
