Chapter 112 Fighting the Nuggets Again
Most of the Grizzlies' opponents after the All-Star Game were not very strong. The Grizzlies' record was 6 games and 4 wins.

It looks like they have won four games, but now the Grizzlies have lost two games in a row and also lost the second place in the Western Conference.

Since entering the second half of March, the Grizzlies schedule and opponents have become less friendly.

At 3 pm on March 17th, the Grizzlies will host the Nuggets at home!

After the warm-up before the game, the whistle sounded, and the players of the two teams appeared one after another. The starting lineup of the Nuggets for this game was .

Point guard: Andre Miller, shooting guard: Ruben Patterson, small forward: Carmelo Anthony, power forward: Marcus Camby, center: Francisco Elson.

Before the game, according to the Nuggets' twin-tower lineup, Nelson once again mentioned Gasol as a power forward, and the center position topped the 2-meter Jack Chakalidis.

So far, the Nuggets have a record of 37 wins and 29 losses, ranking fourth in the West.

The game officially began. Elson jumped the ball and the Nuggets got the first chance to attack. Andre Miller held the ball and handed it to Carmelo Anthony who wanted the ball from the high post on the right.

The latter put on the best three-threat action, facing Battier's defense, broke through a step forward, then pulled back to take a step-back jumper, and the ball went steadily into the basket.

The day before the All-Star Game, the Grizzlies had a game against the Nuggets. At that time, it may be that the All-Stars were not selected, or the lineup was not suitable for playing shooting guard in that game. In short, the performance was not ideal.

This time the All-Star Game is over, and Anthony has returned to his familiar position again. He used this ball to tell everyone at the beginning, "This melon keeps sweetness."

When it was the Grizzlies' turn to attack, Yang Zhan gave the ball to Gasol, who was supporting him in a high position, and then began to walk non-stop according to the tactics.

Battier sets up an off-ball pick-and-roll for Eddie Jones, and Young starts cutting inside.

After receiving the pass, Yang Zhan rushed inside, facing the supplementary defense, and directly distributed it to Eddie Jones, who had just run out of position in the bottom corner, and the latter caught the ball and made a three-pointer steadily.

Changing sides to fight again, Andre Miller passed to Carmelo Anthony at the top of the arc. The latter used Marcus Camby's pick-and-roll to break into the three-point line, and faced Pau Gasol's defense.

"brush!"

It seems that Anthony's touch in this game is really good, and he made all two mid-range shots at the beginning.

On the contrary, the Grizzlies attacked, and Gasol, who had just been pulled out in the last round, immediately regained his face.

After receiving the pass from Yang Zhan, he turned around and passed Marcus Camby behind him. Facing Elson under the basket, Gasol first feinted and then dunked successfully.

The enthusiasm of the home fans was instantly ignited.

But looking back, Anthony of the Nuggets once again relied on a mid-range jumper after the pick-and-roll,

brush!Hit again!

Here Gasol faced Camby, held the ball in the high position and gave up attacking the basket with his back. After non-stop tentative steps, he speeded up and passed Camby.

The beep sounded and it was 2+1.

The two consecutive 1-on-2 successes caused the commentator to swear, and the fans in the audience shouted MVP when Gasol stood at the free throw line.

It seems that the Spaniard, who has lost two games in a row, is really irritable, but Anthony's hand feeling is really overwhelming today. Except for a three-pointer, he missed a single one. This mid-range is stable.

Both sides came and went, at the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies led the Nuggets by 31 points 29 to 2.

Among them, Gasol's data is 7 of 6 shots, 3 free throws, scored in the first quarter, 15 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist.

And Anthony's data is even higher, 10 of 7 shots, 4 free throws, scored in the first quarter, 18 points, 1 rebound, 1 steal.

In the second quarter, the Grizzlies replaced again, Yang Zhan + Atkins + Ellis + Posey + White's running and bombing lineup.

The Nuggets sent in a running and bombing lineup of Andre Miller + Greg Buckner + Reggie Evans + Ruben Patterson + Marcus Camby.

You must know that in addition to De Anthony and Nelson, the Nuggets head coach George Karl is also very good at running and bombing tactics.

However, it became a one-sided situation at the beginning of the game. Because of the gap in the lineup, Ellis's counterattack and finishing ability at the basket are really strong.

At the same time, Atkins, the new aid of the Grizzlies, felt very good in this field. Anthony missed a three-pointer and made a mid-range shot. Atkins just went the other way.

So Nelson saw that the run-and-gun lineup was playing well. He kept running and bombing in the second quarter, and the effect was really good. At the end of the half, the Grizzlies led the Nuggets by 65 points 57 to 8.

Atkins, who performed best in the second quarter, made 9 of 6 shots and 4 of 4 shots from beyond the three-point line. He scored 16 points, 0 rebounds, and 1 assist.
