Chapter 159
After returning to Memphis, in order to find a way to defeat the Suns, Nelson actually came up with the future death five.

However, Nelson faced difficulties at the center position. In the whole team, only Yang Zhan fit the situation, but Yang Zhan's strength and rebounding awareness could not match the fifth position.

The disadvantage of the lineup made the mad scientist helpless. After all the players left in the evening, Yang Zhan practiced for another hour.

After returning home, Yang Zhan didn't pay attention to the news because there was no game today.

Instead, I made a phone call to my family and my sister, and then practiced my voice, and the day was over.

At 5:12 am on May [-], after the interview, the Grizzlies entered the FedEx Arena.

The short pre-match adjustments are over, and the game between the Grizzlies and the Suns officially begins.

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

No adjustments were made, and no adjustments could be made.

The Grizzlies sent point guard: Yang Zhan, shooting guard: Jones, small forward: Posey, power forward: Battier, center: Gasol.

Since the positional offense has lost two games in a row, Nelson chose the fast break lineup in this game.

At the start of the game, Gasol jumped the ball and the Grizzlies got the first chance to attack. The fans cheered.

Yang Zhan sped up slightly, waited for a pick-and-roll behind the frontcourt, and then gave the ball to Battier in the bottom corner. Due to the tactical arrangement, the latter caught the ball and shot a three-pointer. Boom!strike iron.

However, Gasol grabbed the offensive rebound, and then threw it to the outside line without making a strong move, and then played a pick-and-roll again.

Yang Zhan passed the ball to Eddie Jones, and the latter made a three-pointer after receiving the ball, with a very positive trajectory.

It's a pity that the luck is not very good, the basketball came out after a lap, and the backcourt rebound was grabbed by Marion.

After receiving the ball, Nash immediately pushed a fast break to counterattack. Before reaching the midfield, Nash threw a long pass to Jones.

The latter entered the inside line to face Jones' supplementary defense and passed it to Bell in the bottom corner for the second time. The latter made an open three-pointer.

brush!Hitting, this is the rhythm he is familiar with. In this round of playoffs, his three-point shooting rate is as high as 46.5%, averaging 2.4 three-pointers per game.

The Grizzlies attacked. After Yang Zhan passed the ball to Gasol, he ran on the side of the cover, and after throwing away Steve Nash, he also tried a three-pointer.

Boom!Missed, Diaw protected the backboard.

The Suns attacked, Nash used the pick-and-roll, and faced Posey with a mid-range shot, boom!Not hit either.

Gasol grabbed the rebound and made a long pass to Yang Zhan in the midfield. Although the pass was too big, fortunately there was no one in front.

Entering the inside line, Yang Zhan made a basket and hit the basket. The Grizzlies finally scored after more than 1 minute of the opening, 3-2.

Since it was Yang Zhan's one-man fast break, and the other members of the Grizzlies were all in the second half, the Suns naturally couldn't play fast break.

After Marion circled around, he suddenly ran back without using his teammate's pick-and-roll, easily throwing off Posey behind him.

Nash saw the last ground pass and sent it to Marion. The latter's surprise made it too late for Gasol to make up the defense. He could only watch the opponent dunk successfully, 5 to 2.

The Grizzlies attacked, and Yang Zhan looked at Bell in front of him decisively to pick and roll, and then broke through Nash and entered the inside lane to pass to Posey in the corner.

After the latter received the ball, he shot a three-pointer in the upcoming supplementary defense, boom!And iron, this is troublesome.

Because Posey is a colander in defense, if Gasol hadn't been guarding the basket all the time, Marion might not have scored many points.

Now that the offense can't be opened, the efficiency on the court is completely negative. Diaw took off the rebound and passed it to Nash.

This time it became a 3-on-2 frontcourt. Eddie Jones and Battier were attracted by James Jones and Lagabel respectively.

The unmarked Steve Nash made a good three-pointer from the top of the arc, swipe!hit.

Fortunately, on the other hand, Posey finally hit a three-pointer on the third shot, otherwise Nelson would have called a timeout.

The Suns feel faster than ever, and the Grizzlies feel slower than ever.

So at the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies trailed their opponents by 28 points 24-4.

When the second quarter started, Nelson was amazing, and directly sent Atkins + Yang Zhan + Posey + Battier + White.

The Suns once again put on a regular rotation.

This time on the court, Yang Zhan took the initiative to find Raja Bell, because others really couldn't keep up, except Dior of course.

The offense in this period is quite good-looking. Basically, they just run to the frontcourt and throw, but the hit rate is not high.

Then White and Marion crazily grabbed the offensive rebounds, and they were all very good, but the key point was that these two didn't care about the backcourt rebounds.

With 4 minutes left in the second quarter, Yang Zhan was replaced by Nelson. At this time, the rhythm on the field was not so fast.

With Barbosa hitting a three-pointer at the buzzer, the first half ended and the Suns still led the Grizzlies by 50 points 46-4.

This time, the score was not as high as in the previous two games. There are two reasons, one is that the Grizzlies are too hard, and the other is that the Suns are too tired.

At the beginning of the third quarter, both sides are the same, and the efficiency is not good, but there are always those "shameless".

You said that everyone was playing well, but Raja Bell scored 4 three-pointers in this quarter. If he didn't lock his throat, he would definitely be hard to beat.

In the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies' touch finally returned to normal. I thought the turning serfs would sing, but the Suns' touch also came back.

In the end, the Suns defeated the Grizzlies 94 to 91. Two players ran and bombed, and the score did not exceed [-].

The best of the game was given to Marion, who played 47 minutes, made 24 of 12 shots, scored 32 points, 20 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals, and 1 block, including 7 offensive rebounds.

拉加.贝尔出场44分钟，13投8中，三分球8中6，拿下22分，4篮板1助攻。

Although it was running and bombing, the best performer of the Grizzlies was still Gasol. He played 41 minutes in this game, made 17 of 10 shots, scored 25 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists.

只有杨战出场34分钟，16投7中，三分球6中0，拿下17分4篮板10助攻。

Since the tactical requirement of this game is to shoot three-pointers, Yang Zhan's efficiency is all ruined by three-pointers.

After the game, Nelson did not allow Yang Zhan to be interviewed, because the series between the Grizzlies and the Suns is now 3-0 behind.

It is conceivable that in the eyes of those group of reporters who reveal troubles and big news, what kind of "good things" will be asked.

After a brief wash in the locker room, Yang Zhan went to practice as usual, but this time there were two more people in the arena.

It is still Lu Wei and Ellis. Of these two people, one has not been on the big list, and the other has never played.

Yang Zhan believes that although Ellis's personality is not pleasing, his efforts are real. Since he came to the Grizzlies, besides himself, he has been the one who has practiced the most.

As for Lu Wei, Yang Zhan believes that if he can keep going, then the future father Lu should be able to come earlier.
