Chapter 135 Victory Magic

Howard got to the free-throw line, and with five minutes left in the first quarter, both teams took advantage of the opportunity to make substitutions. Nelson replaced Young and Battier with Ellis and Posey.

The Magic coach made only minor adjustments, replacing Tony Batty with Darko Milicic.

This improved the Magic's lineup again. Yang Zhan returned to the bench after the game and sat next to Nelson in order to more easily accept tactical arrangements.

Howard, who was standing at the free throw line, was as expected. As a result, Milicic, who had just come up, grabbed a rebound and then made a strong layup.

When it was the Grizzlies' turn to attack, Ellis, a tough guy, wanted to use his best breakthrough lever to show off at the beginning, but he lost his game.

Because he forgot the two people standing inside the Magic, Howard averaged 1.4 blocks per game this season, and Milicic ranked seventh in the league with 2.1 blocks per game.

When Ellis entered the inside and pulled the bar backhand for a layup, Milicic made a big cap on the nail plate. This attack and defense were very eye-catching.

Seeing this scene, Nelson next to Yang Zhan couldn't help but sigh.

"He used to be a genius on par with James, what a pity, what a pity!"

Yang Zhan knew that he was really optimistic about Milicic. At the time of the draft, he gave this evaluation to Milicic.

"His size, size, speed, flexibility and strength are amazing. If you want a center or a power forward, then Milicic is absolutely the best choice."

This can be said to be a very high evaluation. Even in Yang Zhan's opinion, Milicic is indeed a genius, and he is really not a parallel importer.

If he hadn't been selected by the Pistons then everything is unknown, maybe a superstar player.

Of course, it is also possible, because the psychological endurance is too weak, it is also impossible to change such a fate
Although Milicic was very active after playing, the Grizzlies' outside line today is not blocked.

At the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies led the Magic by 32 points 25 to 7.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Grizzlies changed into the starting lineup. Except for Milicic who performed well at the power forward, the Magic still started at other positions.

The Magic's first chance to attack, Howard played back with the ball in a low post, and then the Magic began to run non-stop outside. Obviously, their head coach adjusted his tactical play during the intermission.

At this time, Nelson ran out of position and shot a three-pointer, boom!The iron has been struck, although the current Magic has a team that will reach the finals in 09.

But it's too immature now, and they don't have such a large shooter group now, but Howard is really awesome and grabbed offensive rebounds.

Then he passed back to Nelson on the outside line again, but was cut off by Yang Zhan's counterattack.

A good pitcher needs a good passer, and Howard's pass is too obvious.

The Grizzlies made a fast break and counterattacked, and Nelson kept sticking to Yang Zhan not to let him speed up, and then Yang Zhan passed to Atkins.

After attacking in the frontcourt, Yang Zhan suddenly made an inward cut, and Nelson kept secretly pulling people behind him.

At this time, Eddie Jones passed a beautiful pass to the ground, which made Yang Zhan catch it very comfortably. Then Yang Zhan took advantage of his height and leaned on Nelson to pick the basket and shot.

brush!Hit!

Nelson pursed his lips after he landed. This height advantage really can't be helped. If it wasn't for the home field advantage, the referee would have been able to blow the whistle just now.

Today, the Grizzlies' shooters feel very good, so they are playing against the Magic. In the end, they easily beat the Magic 101 to 90.

At the moment when the whistle blew, Yang Zhan heard clearly that some fans were calling the general manager of the Magic team to dismiss get out of class.

After the game, the best of the game was given. He played 37 minutes and scored 22 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals. Eddie Jones made 7 of 5 three-pointers.

Yang Zhan played 35 minutes in this game, made 2 of 2 three-pointers, scored 18 points, 3 rebounds, and 10 assists in a double-double.

Although the Magic lost, Howard still had a smile on his face.

Because he played 41 minutes in this game, made 18 of 13 shots, 6 of 2 free throws, and scored 28 points, 17 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block.

Knowing that Howard is only in the second grade now, it is really frightening, this talent should be reserved for James to have a headache!
After playing the Magic, the Grizzlies' two-game streak ended, and they got a day's rest.

Then the Grizzlies will sit at home and usher in back-to-back games again, and the playoffs will soon be played. This schedule is really not very friendly to the Grizzlies.

The opponents of the game are the Pistons and the Hornets.

On April [-]th, at [-]:[-] in the morning, the game between the Grizzlies and the Pistons officially started at the FedEx Arena.

Due to home games, the Grizzlies had to rest the two big shots in order to sell tickets. As a result, Nelson chose to rest Eddie Jones, who was less popular.

I don't know how Eddie Jones would react if he found out that Nelson gave him a vacation for this reason.

The referee's whistle sounded, both sides started to play one after another, and the game officially began!
I thought that as the No. [-] Pistons in the Eastern Conference, their attitude towards the game at this time was just to play casually.

Who would have thought that the Pistons really "take care" of the Grizzlies, and the first five tigers are all there.

However, the process of the game made Yang Zhan vomit blood even more, because the two teams felt extremely bad, and it seemed that this posture was about to smash the basket.

So the two teams combined, since the offense is not good enough, let's fight defense, and the Pistons' defense is the old line.

This kind of iron bucket defense, and the unknowingly raised physical strength, just turned the regular season into the playoffs.

However, the Grizzlies still have a better touch than the Pistons, so the game between the two sides lasted to the last 4 minutes.

Seeing that this is the rhythm of overtime, but Gasol made a mistake in the last 2 minutes of the game, and then the Pistons seized a wave of opportunities and directly beat the Grizzlies 5-0.

The game has gone from here, and the Pistons finally defeated the Grizzlies 85 to 79.

Yang Zhan made 18 of 9 shots and 5 of 2 free throws. He scored 20 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists. He was the only player in the team with a 50% shooting percentage.

As for others, don't talk about it.
