Chapter 128
"Didn't I just post on Facebook? Was this night completely crazy?"

While eating breakfast, Yang Zhan checked the NBA news on his mobile phone, and it was really cool to see that his Facebook followers rose to 25 overnight.

hi yo!
Yesterday morning, Yang Zhan's wave of predictions was directly found by various media, and then screenshots were sent to the basketball sports section.

Now Yang Zhan is directly referred to as the only player who can compete with March Madness in popularity, and it will be like this after that.

I'm on fire again.

After breakfast, Yang Zhan came to the arena and drove away a bunch of "curious babies". Yang Zhan started his hard off-ball three-point training again.

After the personal training, Nelson took the Grizzlies to watch the game video of today's rival Knicks for a while.

Although they ranked last this year, they still have the form they should have. After watching the video of the game, Nelson announced directly.

"For the consideration of the playoffs, the Grizzlies will rest Pau Gasol and Eddie Jones tonight, so tonight's tactics will be a run-and-gun tactic with Yang Zhan as the core."

For Yang Zhan, he will get a better chance to perform better after resting the two big players, but if he loses to the bottom one in the league, then Yang Zhan's ability to lead the team will definitely be questioned.

After the team finished the simple running and bombing tactical drill, the media from all walks of life had already arrived. The number of reporters was unprecedented. Those who knew it was the number one player in defeat, but those who didn't know thought it was the playoffs.

Of course, the appearance of these reporters made the Grizzlies more happy, because those reporters who couldn't interview Yang Zhan all turned their materials to them.

In the pre-match interview in the afternoon, Yang Zhan still did not escape the topic of March Madness, and Yang Zhan could only brag about them.

After all, he gained a lot of fans for himself, and Joakim Noah also said a lot of good things about himself after receiving the interview.

After dealing with the tough American media, it is finally time to warm up before the game. Yang Zhan complained to Battier who also just finished the interview:
"There are too many reporters. There are so many pitfalls waiting for me every day. It is really troublesome to deal with."

Hearing this, Battier recalled the time when there were only 3 reporters around him just now, resisting the urge to beat Yang Zhan violently, finished throwing the basketball in his hand and silently shifted his position.

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, players from the two teams entered the arena, and the first game after March Madness began. Although this is the home court of the Grizzlies, there is also a nationwide live broadcast.

Because although the Knicks are not doing well, they have a lot of money, which is very similar to the phrase "You may make money, but I will never lose money."

The two teams made final adjustments, and then the referee whistled. Players from both sides appeared on the field one after another, and the game officially began.

The Grizzlies used the pre-game decision, Yang Zhan + Atkins + Battier + Posey + White's running and bombing lineup.

The Knicks sent point guard: Marbury, shooting guard: Quentin Richardson, small forward: Jalen Rose, power forward: Channing Frye, center: Eddie Curry.

White succeeded with the bouncing jump ball and got the first chance for the Grizzlies.

Yang Zhan picked up the speed with the ball, and directly passed the ball to Atkins, who was the fastest runner. After receiving the ball, the latter went straight to the basket and caused a foul by Channing Frye. As for Eddie Curry?He just got to the three-point line.

Atkins made two free throws, and it was the Knicks' turn to attack Marbury, who perfectly continued his characteristic of sticking the ball.

The 24-second offense took nearly 20 seconds to dribble, and then broke through to the inside but Yang defended well, which made Marbury pass the ball to Richardson in the outer corner of the left three-point line at the last second because there was no room for a shot.

The latter is obviously used to this kind of pass, so he didn't panic at all after receiving the ball, and then shot this three-pointer against Atkins with a determined face.

The trajectory is very positive, the arc is very good, huh?It seems that the shot is a bit far, but it doesn't matter. Although this is a three-point shot, if the basket moves a little to the right, the goal will be scored.

After White picked up the rebound, he passed it directly to Yang Zhan, who quickly dribbled the ball to the basket. Facing Marbury's pursuit and defense, although Yang Zhan could force a foul, he still passed it to James Posey in the right corner.

After receiving the ball, the latter made a steady three-point shot and swiped! 50% hit rate is no joke.

Conversely, the Knicks are attacking and Marbury holds the ball. From the perspective of the lineup alone, as long as the Knicks play inside, they still have a chance to win.

And Eddie Curry is indeed constantly asking for the ball in the low post, but in Marbury's view, it has not squeezed into the three-second zone, and it does not necessarily get assists when it is passed out.

So he decided to dribble the ball in small steps, then swayed Yang Zhan slightly according to the rhythm, and then made a mid-range shot.

However, Yang Zhan's height and wingspan are his advantages. When Marbury made a shot, Yang Zhan still interfered.

Boom!strike iron.

When it was the Grizzlies' turn to attack, Yang Zhan took the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Sean Battier who ran out of open space with the help of White's off-ball pick-and-roll.

After the latter catches the ball, he catches the ball at a 45° angle on the right and makes a three-point shot. Swipe!Hit, the Grizzlies beat the Knicks 10-0 to start the game.

The head coach of the Knicks obviously looked away, and the score was not called a timeout less than 3 minutes into the game.

Then the Knicks attacked Marbury, relying on his personal ability, and finally scored the first goal for the Knicks with a successful layup.

But in turn, Yang Zhan received the ball and pushed forward quickly, because the Grizzlies had three perimeters and the middle was empty.

However, Yang Zhan did not use a breakthrough. Instead, after White just entered the inside line, Yang Zhan took a symbolic step forward and then threw the ball into the air. With no one guarding, Yang Zhan and White easily completed the alley-oop cooperation.

There was a boom in the auditorium, and Lu Wei, the substitute, waved a towel vigorously.

With the Knicks' "excellent" defense and "excellent" offense, the score was 30-19 at the end of the first quarter.

The Grizzlies successfully led the Knicks by 11 points and completed a "normal start."
