Chapter 123 The Reason for Stabilizing the Situation
At 4:2 p.m. on April [-], the game between the Grizzlies and the Suns officially began at the American West Arena.

After the final preparation time before the game, players from both sides appeared on the field one after another.

The starting lineup for the Suns is, point guard: Steve Nash, shooting guard: Raja Bell, small forward: Marion, power forward: James Jones, center: Boris Diaw.

The Grizzlies are on the regular lineup, point guard: Yang Zhan, shooting guard: Eddie Jones, small forward: Battier, power forward: White, center: Gasol.

A funny scene happened at the time of the jump ball. The 2 meters Diaw and Gasol formed a sharp contrast. Even after watching Steve Nash many times, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Then Gasol's jump ball succeeded without any suspense for the Grizzlies to get a chance to attack. (Because Dior didn't dance at all)

Yang Zhan, who held the ball across the half court, saw that the tallest Suns team was only 2 meters, and without hesitation, he lobbed the ball to Gasol in the low post.

The latter used his height and wingspan to turn on his back, turn around and hook his hands, swiping!It's very easy, the defense of this lineup of the Suns is really bad, even Stoudemire is also a colander, at least he has height.

But at this moment, the advantage of the Suns came out. The ball was really fast. Nash, who had just received the serve, turned around and sent a long pass to Marion in the frontcourt.

After the latter entered the inside line, he did not want two points for three points, and then transferred it to Raja Bell, who had just arrived from the outside line, and the latter made a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

brush!The hit, the fans cheered enthusiastically, and this reaction once again proved that running and bombing is definitely the most popular of all tactics today.

After the Suns completed this attack, Gasol just rushed back, but you have your characteristics, and I also have my style of play.

The Grizzlies attacked in the same position as before, and Yang Zhan still lobbed the ball to Gasol, who turned back and made a layup.

The Grizzlies, who had the previous experience, quickly returned to defense after seeing Gasol succeed. This time, the Suns did not make a fast break.

Nash held the ball across the half court and used Dior's pick-and-roll to break into the inside and pass it to Jones on the outside, but the chance was not good.

But the Suns moved the ball quickly, and Jones immediately returned to Diaw near the free throw line, who faced Gasol's defense.

A fake pass, a ground-up pass to Marion, who cuts in without the ball, dunks before Gasol turns around to cover the defense.

As for why the Suns were able to stabilize the situation so quickly without Stoudemire, a large part of the reason is due to Boris Diaw who just sent a wonderful pass.

这位03一代的2年级生，在2005年8月20日被老鹰队用来交易如今“鹰王约翰逊”的添头。

Seized the opportunity this season, not only got the chance to be on the starting lineup, but also increased from averaging 4.8 points per game last season to 13.3 points, 6.2 assists, and 6.9 rebounds per game.

It was the Grizzlies' turn to attack. Yang Zhan, who held the ball to the frontcourt, looked at Steve Nash, who was on the other side with a serious defensive face.

This made Yang Zhan feel a sense of respect. Facing such a man with attitude, Yang Zhan is of course one step ahead of him.

The attitude is indeed a defensive attitude, but the defense is indeed a paper defense, active but useless.

Yang Zhan, who entered the inside line, saw that Dior had been stuck behind Gasol, and then Yang Zhan glanced to the other side while walking.

After receiving the instructions, White directly squeezed the 2m Jones behind him, and then Yang Zhan lightly tossed the ball into the air, and White immediately jumped up from the other side and dunked heavily with both hands.

Then Yang Zhan had no time to celebrate with White and hurried back to defend. Sure enough, it was the Suns' turn to attack, and Nash directly threw the ball from the backcourt to James Jones in the frontcourt.

Fortunately, Yang Zhan returned to the defense in time and used his height and wingspan to break the ball directly. However, Yang Zhan did not speed up, but passed halftime slowly after breaking the ball.

Because once the speed is increased, the rhythm of the game may become faster, and that is what the Suns like best, so Yang Zhan can only deliberately suppress the rhythm.

After dribbling to the frontcourt, Yang Zhan held the ball at the top of the arc. At this time, Yang Zhan thought of a tactic that D'Antoni's vocational coach Rockets would play in the future.

When he had an idea, he wanted to execute it immediately. Yang Zhan from outside the three-point line called White on the inside to come out for a pick-and-roll, but White was a little confused at first, because Yang Zhan and Gasol used to play pick-and-rolls.

However, White thought about the future of the team and said that he had to go. After the pick-and-roll, Yang Zhan faced Jones and broke through to the inside.

And White, who has no front sight, can't stay at the free throw line like Gasol, and can only follow up and go down, but this is what Yang Zhan wants.

When Jones completely stretched out his hand to defend himself after entering the three-second zone, Yang Zhan suddenly threw the ball into the air.

This move made Jones a little confused, even White was stunned for a moment, but fortunately, this buddy is still a bit spiritual, and he instinctively took off and caught the ball and dunked.

Not only did he complete a beautiful cooperation, but he also did not turn Yang Zhan's wonderful pass into a mistake.

After returning to the defense, White took the initiative to ask Yang Zhan to clap his hands to express his gratitude, which made Yang Zhan roll his eyes inwardly.

It's useless to mess with me. Why are you being polite with me? After the game, do you pay for a red envelope or swipe your card?
Turning around, Nash ran to the frontcourt and quickly passed to Jones who had just run out of position. The latter caught the ball at a 45° angle and shot directly from outside the three-point line. Swipe!hit.

To say that the reason why the Suns have been so strong in the last few games is that many teams are taking rotations as the playoffs approach, and the second is that the Suns are really accurate on the perimeter recently.

But fortunately, the Grizzlies relied on their success rate to tie the game 25-25 at the end of the first quarter.
