Chapter 136

"Yang Zhan is the most handsome player in the league."

Hi!So-so, but I still give you a thumbs up.

"Yang Zhan is the most talented player in history."

Low oil!Although it is true, you still have to keep a low profile. I give you a big thumbs up.

At this time, Yang Zhan, who had finished his morning run, was scrolling through Facebook while eating breakfast, and every time he saw a message that praised him, Yang Zhan shamelessly backhandedly praised him.

At around 7:30 in the morning, Yang Zhan came to the FedEx Center early, but this time Yang Zhan did not start training immediately as usual.

Instead, I called and asked for a video clip of the Hornets, although all the team's editors are very hard-working.

But it's not like they didn't get ahead, such as the future Heat coach Poelstra, and the future Hornets coach Burrig.
Logically speaking, as of now, the Hornets are ranked second to last in the Eastern Conference. With this record, Yang Zhan has no reason to bother studying them.

But since this is the last game between the Grizzlies and the Hornets this season, it has been hyped by various media as a direct duel between Yang Zhan and Paul for the best rookie.

Chris Paul played 36 minutes this season, averaging 16.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 7.8 assists, 2.2 steals, and 0.1 blocks per game.

And Yang Zhan played 35 minutes this season, averaging 17.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.9 blocks per game.

Although Yang Zhan is definitely not as good as Paul in terms of personal strength, he can have this data on the one hand because of the explosion of player cards in a few games.

There is also the team play of the Grizzlies and the second team built for Yang Zhan.

However, judging from the data alone, the gap between the two is really not that big, just like Dayao and Stoudemire back then.

But in terms of popularity, Yang Zhan is much better than Paul, and the rookie All-Star is the best proof.

So from this point of view, Yang Zhan has a bit more advantage, but if he defeats the opponent head-on in this game, then other factors will not matter.

After Yang Zhan studied for more than an hour, the door of the home team's lounge was pushed open. Yang Zhan turned around and saw that it was the head coach Nelson.

Before Yang Zhan could speak, Nelson looked at the video on the computer and said, "Don't be influenced by external factors, we are fighting back to back."

Yang Zhan didn't understand the meaning of Nelson's words, and immediately said: "But I have to fight for the best rookie."

At this time, Nelson laughed and said: "We are indeed fighting back to back, but you can look at the Hornets' schedule."

After hearing this, Yang Zhan took out his mobile phone and opened the official schedule of the Hornets in the league, which almost made Yang Zhan laugh out loud.

Back to back, counting tonight's game, they are three consecutive away.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the Grizzlies played against the Hornets at home.

Although the Hornets have a three-game streak, Nelson is still in the regular starting lineup for stability in this game, and he did not take a rotation in this game.

The game was broadcast live across the United States, and many fans were paying close attention to the game. TNT also sent their ace commentators, Kenny Smith and Barkley.

Even China has sent a team of basketball commentators like Zhang Lili and Sun Zhengping, and Yang Zhan had a brief chat with them before the game.

Everyone is looking forward to this, but the game. Originally, the Hornets are a bad team. The consecutive back-to-backs made them unable to perform at a normal level.

And the atmosphere in their locker room is also extremely poor. Except for David West, no one wants to waste energy for Paul's best rookie.

Even Chris Paul's state was affected by this, and under Yang Zhan's extremely serious defense, he also hit the iron again and again.

After three quarters, the Grizzlies have led the Hornets by 62 points 44 to 18.

Seeing such a score, Nelson directly replaced in the fourth quarter, Lu Wei + Ellis + Yang Zhan + Battier + White, such a running and bombing lineup.

This lineup can be said to be very young, with three rookies in 05.

The Hornets sent out, Paul + Kirk Schneider + Desmond Mason + David West + PJ Brown.

The performance of Lu Wei and Ellis after playing was completely opposite to that of the Hornets. They kept hitting the basket as soon as they played, which was a joke.

But the strength of the two of them is not that strong, they all rely on momentum, but at first the Hornets can stop it twice, but as time goes by, they are not even willing to stretch their hands.

This is the team atmosphere of the underdogs. They have taken losing as a habit, and their toughness is not comparable to that of the Pistons yesterday.

In the end, at the end of the game, the Grizzlies beat the Hornets 95 to 79 by 16 points.

The best of the game is here. Yang Zhan, who played 40 minutes and made 20 of 11 shots, scored 23 points, 7 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block. Yang Zhan made 2 of 1 three-pointers and missed all 3 free throws.

And the other protagonist in this field, in poor condition and Yang Zhan's strict defense.

Played 39 minutes, made 18 of 6 shots, scored 15 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1 steal, including 3 of 0 three-pointers and 3 of 3 free throws.

In the post-match interview, Nelson only brought Yang Zhan alone. After answering a few questions, someone always wanted to do something.

The unknown reporter asked, "Excuse me, at the end of the third quarter, the team's point difference has entered garbage time. Why did Yang Zhan stay on the court? Is it for the best rookie competition?"

At this time, Nelson was very defensive, and asked directly: "Then I am not a first-year student during the garbage time, so when should I give rookies experience? Playoffs?"

In fact, when Nelson changed the lineup, as an old fritters, he had already guarded against the media's hand, so Lu Wei and Ellis were allowed to play the last full quarter on the court.

After answering a few questions from the reporter, Nelson left with Yang Zhan.
