Chapter 101 Defeating Timberwolves

Not to mention the people who want to scold, the Grizzlies players returned to the bench!

"Today, the Timberwolves don't feel good on the outside, so we will use two or three defenses when we go on the court. Only Davis has a certain singles ability on the outside, so they use double-teams on the outside, and they must not make up defense on the inside. Even if Davis scores high points, he must keep an eye on Garnett."

Nelson held the tactical board and arranged tactics quickly.

After 1 minute, the whistle sounded, and players from both sides came on the field one after another. Due to the misalignment of the outside line, Nelson's original plan was broken.

However, Nelson is not the Van Gundy of the Rockets. If there is a change, he will make adjustments immediately. At this time, the Grizzlies replaced the starting lineup.

That's right, Yang Zhan started to hang up again. Yang Zhan wanted to win, he wanted to complete the task, and he didn't want to embarrass his brother.

You must know that Garnett is holding his breath and wants to prove that he is strong, but why not Gasol, if he loses, it will have a big impact on him in the short term.

The Timberwolves players have also appeared on the field. Like the Grizzlies, they switched to the starting lineup. Ricky Davis held the ball for halftime.

Facing the Grizzlies' second and third defenses, he still chose to break through with the ball more adeptly, watching the Grizzlies players who were about to double-team.

Davis was near the free throw line, and suddenly pulled up a jumper to face Battier. The ball hit the back edge of the basket and bounced high.

I thought that Davis' touch would be irritated by a timeout, but the basketball seemed to be molesting the Grizzlies players. It bounced high, but fell into the basket again.

It was another fairy ball, and Battier also showed a helpless look, which was indeed too shocking. At this time, Yang Zhan remembered what Nelson said to Yang Zhan before playing.

"Davis may not be able to hold back this game. If the outside line is still open, if you want to win, your scoring must keep up with him."

Yang Zhan held the ball across half court, handed the ball to Gasol, who was supporting the free throw line, and then fell to the low post.

The original offensive tactic was that Ellis made a fake cut inside, and the real finish was given to Battier who ran out.

The tactics were indeed implemented in this way, but it was not only Battier, but also Yang Zhan.

This made Gasol a little confused, but he is also worthy of being the power forward with the strongest coping ability today. He reacted instantly and passed the ball to the more trusted Yang Zhan.

After receiving the ball, Yang Zhan was outside the three-point line and shot directly before making up the defense. The entire Grizzlies team was watching the ball.

"The trajectory was very positive, he scored and hit a three-pointer. Yang Zhan made the first three-pointer for the Grizzlies. This is a good sign. The score is 41 to 47." The commentator said to the audience.

"Every time this little bastard breaks out, my tactic is useless again. I really don't know why West chose to play with it. It is said that he will be trained as the core of the future? My brain is sick!"

Nelson looked at Yang Zhan on the field. Although he was a little nervous, he always had a faint smile on his face.

Of course, if West hears these words, he will definitely spray back and ask him who he doesn't know, who came to be the head coach because of Yang Zhan.

Not to mention Nelson's mental activity at this moment, because the situation on the field made the two teams seem to have returned to the first quarter.

That is, from two big men fighting deadly to two outside lines deadly fighting, although it is not as unstructured as in the first quarter, out of tactics.

But from the visual effect of the fans, the scene at this time is the same. With the last 10 seconds left in the second quarter, the Grizzlies scored the last attack.

Yang Zhan held the ball for halftime, with 5 seconds left in the game. With the help of Gasol who picked and rolled from outside the three-point line, Yang Zhan broke through to the free throw line.

Facing Garnett who came to defend, Yang Zhan suddenly turned around and shot, the whistle sounded, the basketball shot, brush!Two points hit.

The movement of this ball can be described as flowing, and others may not feel it, but Garnett, who is closest to Yang Zhan, seems to have seen the shadow of his former teammates.

During the intermission, Yang Zhan ensured that there was no problem with his physical strength in the locker room, so Nelson planned to use the running and bombing lineup again in the second half to transition Gasol's physical strength.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the Timberwolves also used the unsatisfactory five-forward lineup again for the sake of Garnett's physical strength.

After the two sides played, although the Grizzlies still couldn't open three-pointers except for Yang Zhan, without Garnett, the two small men once again frequently scored points inside.

But the Timberwolves' scoring has stagnated, because Davis's touch has declined and he has gradually returned to normal levels.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Grizzlies continued to chase points. About 4 minutes into the third quarter, as Yang Zhan hit another three-pointer at the top of the arc, the two teams scored 68 to 68, and the two sides returned to the same starting line again.

At this time, the head coach of the Timberwolves hurriedly called a timeout, and the Grizzlies would rise if they didn't call it!

After the timeout, the Timberwolves lifted Garnett again, but the Grizzlies did not add Gasol, and still maintained the running and bombing lineup.

With Davis's touch down, looking at the Grizzlies lineup, Garnett took the ball without hesitation and faced Posey's defense.

Back hits, thrusts, turns, dunks, roars, all actions are done in one go. For a player of Garnett's level, this kind of defense is really like a fake.

This goal also made the fans in the auditorium full of passion again from a depressed state.

When it was the Grizzlies' turn to attack, Yang Zhan quickly broke into the frontcourt with the ball and gave the ball to Atkins who was first in position.

After the latter catches the ball, he taps it, and Rashard McCants, who quickly returned to the defense, flies away, adjusts his three-point shot, and swipes!hit.

Assist +1, Nelson on the sidelines also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, after two quarters of hard work, a second person finally entered.

The Timberwolves had the ball, and Garnett once again easily scored points inside the Grizzlies, but in turn, the Grizzlies made a fast break, and James Posey, who received the pass from Yang Zhan, suddenly hit a three-pointer.

Although Garnett was overwhelmed in the interior, the Grizzlies, who had been solid for two quarters, seemed to be getting it all back in the third quarter.

There was a burst of three-point rain from the outside, and the Grizzlies also relied on this quarter to open the score. With 2 minutes left in the third quarter, the two teams scored 70 to 81.

The Grizzlies have maintained a double-digit lead, and Nelson replaced Gasol, who had rested for a whole quarter, at this time.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Nelson stopped the Grizzlies from attacking and tried his best to defend, so that the Timberwolves had no chance to chase points.

At the end of the game, the Grizzlies beat the Timberwolves 105-98.
