Chapter 156 Chapter 154 The second round of the series begins

At 8 am the next day, when the media was still predicting the second round.

The Grizzlies gathered at the away training ground early, and under the leadership of the coaching staff, they practiced positional warfare and run-and-bomb offense all day long.

When the playoffs reached the second round, there were only two games per day, and the four teams playing today were the Cavaliers, Mavericks, Spurs, and Pistons.

First in the morning, the Cavaliers challenged the Pistons away.

In this game, the Pistons showed the best temperament in the league, leading the Cavaliers by 10 points in the first quarter.

Then in the second quarter, the Cavaliers reversed the decline in the first quarter and scored 32 points, and then allowed the Pistons to score 43 points in a single quarter.
As far as this first half contest is concerned, the Cavaliers are gone in this game, even though James scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists throughout the game.

But it still couldn't stop the Pistons' 6 players in double figures. In the end, the Pistons defeated the Cavaliers 113 to 86 and won the second round of the series.

In the afternoon, the Spurs played against the Mavericks at home. The two teams played very anxiously in this game, although the Spurs started better than their opponents.

But after Ginobili started, the bench had no offensive firepower. On the other hand, the Mavericks' sixth man was in the 95 No. [-] show.

But it's a pity that when facing the Nuggets, Nowitzki, who is omnipotent, fell behind when facing Duncan.

Silver Horn King Nowitzki played 42 minutes, scored 20 points on 8 of 20 shots, 14 rebounds, 0 assists, and 2 steals.

Shi Fu Duncan played 41 minutes, scored 24 points on 12 of 31 shots, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

This is the difference between the two sides in the game. It may be the natural suppression of the nickname. In the end, the Spurs narrowly beat the Mavericks by 87 points 85 to 2.

On May 5, the first Heat will play against the Nets at home.

But after the start of the game, the Nets turned their backs, especially the Trident started off very well, scoring 38 points in a single quarter.

In the second quarter, the Heat wanted to chase points, but they still let the Nets overwhelm them.

Under such circumstances, Pat Riley replaced O'Neal in the third quarter, giving up internal and external tactics and playing small ball instead.

But this time the Nets are not in a hurry, they are just fighting with you. In the absence of O'Neal, the Nets won the third quarter.

After losing three quarters, Pat Riley had nothing to do. In the end, the Nets beat the Heat 100-88.

"Jibugong" scored 20+ points, and the NBA headlines were directly after the game.

At 3:40 pm, the game between the Grizzlies and the Suns officially began at the American West Arena.

The Suns sent a regular lineup, point guard: Nash, shooting guard: Raja Bell, small forward: Jones, power forward: Marion, center: Diaw.

The Grizzlies sent in after consideration, point guard: Yang Zhan, shooting guard: Eddie Jones, small forward: Battier, power forward: White, center: Gasol.

Gasol easily jumped the ball in the midfield, and Yang Zhan got the ball and slowed down and slowly advanced. When all the players were in position, Yang Zhan handed the ball to Gasol in the low post.

The latter faced Dior's defensive strength, coupled with the height difference, it was almost like training, and after turning around, he forced a layup.

This is one of the few Gasols who can play such a strong ball.

When it was the Suns' turn to attack, the team suddenly sped up as soon as Nash touched the ball. Fortunately, the Grizzlies lineup could barely keep up.

The fast break failed, and Nash handed the ball to Dior in the high position. Seeing this, Marion on the outside line used his speed to lead White by half a body, and cut inward to the basket.

This style of play is no longer familiar. Dior gave the ball to the marching Marion. At this time, White behind him still gave a physical confrontation when Marion shot.

It was at this moment of pause that Gasol rushed over, but Marion still chose to force him and was slapped with a big hat.

Now Yang Zhan knows why Marion's efficiency in the Suns has not been high in the playoffs, because he can't pass the ball, and only the basket is in his eyes when he enters the three-second zone.

Yang Zhan took the ball to the front court, faced the "Nash" in front of him, and took the initiative to find his body to fight, and then speeded up and took big steps to pass Nash.

After entering the inside line, Marion gave up White to defend, but Yang Zhan knew that he defended well and did not choose to be tough.

During the march, he saw that Gasol had already stuck Dior. When Marion just came over, Yang Zhan threw the ball into the air.

White took a step forward and jumped up immediately, and dunked with both hands after catching the ball.

Nash immediately made a long pass to James Jones in front of him after receiving the serve, although Battier of the Grizzlies chased after him.

But Jones did not choose to end after entering the inside line, but passed it to Raja Bell, who had been following behind and was just at the bottom corner.

The latter received the ball from outside the three-point line, and the "Lock Throat Man" made 47.9% of his three-pointers in the playoffs.hit.

The Grizzlies attacked, Yang Zhan gave the ball to Gasol, who passed the second pass to Eddie Jones, and the latter passed it back to Yang Zhan without even thinking about it.

Since Raja Bell's throat choke incident happened against Kobe, this gentleman's defensive deterrence has skyrocketed.

Yang Zhan still chooses to break through after receiving the ball, because the Suns score too fast, so facing them only has a success rate.

After entering the inside line, this time there was no one to defend, and Yang Zhan leaned on Nash to force a layup.

On the other hand, Nash played fast break, with the help of Marion's pick-and-roll direct three-point shot, brush!Hit!

Then he gave Yang Zhan a provocative look. Yang Zhan knew that this was a common trick in the game, and it was nothing more than to irritate you so as to achieve the desired goal.

If Yang Zhan still has Lillard's player card, you can see if I just love you, but now I can only say "you are awesome" silently in my heart.

With 3 minutes left in the first quarter, Gasol fouled Diaw, and Nelson took the opportunity to replace Yang Zhan and Jones with Posey and Atkins.

D'Antoni's tactical play is to rotate the main force of the dead grass with eight players. He only replaced Jones and replaced Barbosa, who performed well in the series.

As Gasol turned around and hit a hook again, the first quarter ended, the score was 28 to 31, and the Grizzlies trailed by 3 points.

Because of Gasol's outstanding performance, the game started in the second quarter.

Nelson sent it, Yang Zhan + Jones + Posey + White + Chakalidis, still an inside lineup.

D'Antoni came in, Nash + Bell + Barbosa + Marion + Diaw, such a normal rotation lineup.
