Chapter 189

With Roy's three-pointer at the buzzer, the first quarter ended and the Grizzlies temporarily led their opponents by 25 points 21 to 4.

Although the Magic's lineup is not very good offensively, it is their strong point on the defensive end.

Roy was defenseless by Hill, and no matter how mature his style of play was, he was still a rookie. When he met a real veteran, he became a little confused.

Chandler himself has no offensive ability other than eating cakes. When he meets a physically strong man like Howard, he has no room to take off at all.

Come back from the inter-section break, and the second quarter begins with players from both sides appearing on the field.

The Grizzlies sent a small-ball lineup, point guard: Yang Zhan, shooting guard: Roy, small forward: Posey, power forward: Warrick, center: Swift.

The Magic still sent a twin-tower lineup, point guard: Nelson, shooting guard: Bogans, small forward: Turkoglu, power forward: Milicic, center: Howard.

The Grizzlies attack first, and Yang Zhan immediately speeds up with the ball. Compared with Milicic's 2 meters Warrick's speed is not too fast.

Yang Zhan hit the ground and passed the ball to the opponent at the top of the arc, and Howard, who was originally empty in the Magic penalty area, suddenly appeared.

His traveling speed is even faster than Swift, who is a power forward, and his defensive awareness is also simple.

However, Warrick has already mobilized enough strength to force a layup. Although the ball missed, it caused a foul by the opponent's thugs.

After making two free throws, the Magic attacked. Nelson, who was in possession of the ball, immediately slowed down his rhythm. Presumably, during the half quarter when he was resting, the opposing coach gave him a lot of homework.

After all the players were in position, Nelson passed the ball to Turkoglu who came out to catch the ball.

Then Turkoglu lobbed the ball to Howard in the low post. The latter slammed Swift twice and immediately lost his position. Then he turned around and dunked with both hands.

The Grizzlies attacked, and Roy cut out the opportunity without the ball in the frontcourt. Seeing this opportunity, Yang Zhan made the ball directly, and the latter dunked successfully with no one in the Magic penalty area.

Nelson once again controlled the ball to press the position, and the two sides attacked you and me. Five minutes later, as Howard turned around again, causing Swift to foul.

The Grizzlies head coach took the opportunity to replace Swift and turned around to call Chandler on the court. The reason for this change was because.

Swift can't keep up with them during the fast break, and he can't defend them when he falls into a positional battle. Since he doesn't contribute much on the offensive end, it's better to replace Chandler with a stronger defense.

Then he replaced Roy, whose physical strength was obviously declining, and replaced Deng Tai Jones on the bench. The head coach of the Magic also replaced Turkoglu and replaced him with Grant Hill.

At this time, the Grizzlies lineup is Yang Zhan, Dengtai Jones, Posey, Warrick, and Chandler.

The Magic lineup is Nelson, Bogans, Hill, Milicic, Howard.

Little Monster missed the first free throw and made the second free throw. Yang Zhan took the ball to the front court and quickly changed direction to break through Nelson. Facing Hill's supplementary defense, he did not make a strong attack, but gave it to James Posey who had just settled in the right corner.

The latter caught the ball without hesitation and immediately shot a three-pointer, swiped!Hit, a very simple breakthrough tactic, but very effective.

The Magic's offense once again gave Howard who asked for the ball in the low post, but this time he was not so easy. He turned around and threw a discus (hook) and was defended by Chandler.

After receiving the ball, Yang Zhan immediately passed a long pass to Deng Tai Jones, who was at the front. However, the opponent's ability was really poor, and he didn't seize the opportunity to score a fast break layup.

Fortunately, he didn't make a strong attack against the supplementary defense, but returned to Yang Zhan, who was open at the top of the arc.

Yang Zhan heard the voice behind him after receiving the ball, and then made a fake shot with a tap, and "high jumper" Nelson jumped directly over.

At this time, Yang Zhan, who was open at the top of the arc, made a three-pointer very calmly, and swiped!hit.

The Magic attack Howard for the ball in the low post. In fact, for them, the current Milicic's low post attack will be better.

However, Howard is the star player, and Milicic is just a former genius. If the two ask for the ball at the same time, Nelson will naturally give it to the little monster who plays happy basketball.

The latter also lived up to the trust of the audience. Facing Chandler behind him, he immediately turned around and hit the iron with a hook, which received warm cheers from the fans.

Even the commentator laughed unkindly when he saw Howard's rough technical movements.

As for Patric Ewing who was sitting at home, he turned off the TV directly, and his reputation as a low-ranking master for a lifetime was completely ruined by this little bastard.

With Howard's "terrible" low-post singles, and the Grizzlies' "weak" three-point rain.

At the end of the first half, the Grizzlies led their opponents by 56 points 41-15.

The two teams returned to the locker room, and Battier was still talking about the questions before the game, and Gasol and Lu Wei also joined in at this time.

Seeing that the gossip team is getting stronger and stronger, Yang Zhan can only use the trump card he practiced last year, coach.
The second half of the game began, and the starting lineups of both sides officially returned.

The Magic went first, but Turkoglu failed to break through with the ball and gave it to Nelson who was outside the three-point line.

Yang Zhan kept a distance to follow up the defense, Nelson dribbled and stepped back to make a jump shot, Yang Zhan stretched out his long arms and stepped forward to interfere, and the basketball went out of the basket.

The Grizzlies attacked Yang Zhan at the top of the arc, using his personal ability to dribble the ball out of space, and then made exactly the same three-pointer with a side step, swipe!hit.

During the live broadcast on CCTV5, the commentator Zhang Lili once again bragged: "My friends, this ball is too tough. It feels like teaching you how to play."

The Magic attacked in a position, and Nelson brought the ball to the frontcourt, and then handed it over to Grant Hill at the top of the arc to organize, and he began to run without the ball.

At this time, Hill asked Howard to come out for the pick-and-roll, but the latter's reluctance made the pick-and-roll effect not good, and then he could only choose to break through and pass the ball to Nelson, who received the ball at 60 degrees on the right.

However, Yang Zhan was not thrown away by him, but he forcibly pulled out because there was not much time left. Nelson was only 1 meters.

With his height and wingspan, Yang Zhan didn't even need to jump to take a step forward to push him down.

Then a long pass was made to Roy, who was already running. The latter's personal ability was much better than that of Deng Tai Jones.

At this time, Hill also wanted to stabilize the situation, but the young man of the Magic team was a little impatient after consecutive misses, and was brought into the offensive rhythm of the Grizzlies without knowing it.

With Yang Zhan making another shot, he hit a mid-range jumper after the pick-and-roll, and the difference between the two sides has reached 21 points.

At this time, the head coach of the Grizzlies called a timeout. He replaced the veteran Swift on the field and Roy, who was in danger of injury.
