Chapter 244 Leading
The next day, at 8:30 am, the Grizzlies ushered in an adjustment from the Knicks at home.

Nelson sent the regular starting lineup, Yang Zhan, Roy, Battier, Warrick, Chandler.

The lineup Nelson sent was Marbury, Crawford, Richardson, Channing Frye, and Eddie Curry.

Chandler made a jump ball in midfield, and the Grizzlies got the first attack of the game.

Yang Zhan had just passed halftime with the ball, and saw that Warrick had a chance to make a long pass, and the latter caught the ball and arrived at the basket.

However, at this time, the opponent directly used contraction double-teaming, and now Roy and Battier on the outside have already appeared vacant.

However, Warrick faced double-teaming and was unable to pass the ball. Fortunately, his physical fitness is really strong.

He slammed into the basket hard, and then made a strong stand on the spot. Although the ball missed, the referee called Crawford a thug for a foul.

Warrick made two shots from the free throw line, and Marbury went upfield after receiving the ball, and when everyone was in position, Frye came to the pick-and-roll.

After switching defenses, Marbury still chose to break through, but it was a surprise before, and this time he was prepared.

Marbury failed to break through for the first time. Warrick is a man of physical fitness. A political commissar of Ma's physique must not choose to play hard against this kind of player.

So after a symbolic two-step breakthrough, he passed directly back to Channing Frye on the outside.

This guy doesn't have the ability to hold the ball. What he usually does in the team is to pull back to the three-point line after the pick-and-roll, and shoot when he has the opportunity to catch the ball. He has no chance to return to Marbury or Crawford.

But facing Yang Zhan's defense this time, Frye obviously didn't have a good chance, but he still didn't choose to pass the ball.

Obviously, Frye, who was a rookie in the same class as Yang Zhan, had some ideas.

Channing Frye first used the static advantage to lift the ball high, and then bent down to take the ball down and lower the center of gravity.

Immediately after a poor breakthrough, Yang Zhan seized the opportunity to steal the ball directly, and then immediately launched a single fast break.

The opponent's outside line retreated quickly, and at the same time moved very fast. Yang Zhan, who ran first, was chased by Marbury just after halftime.

However, when the opponent just came over, Yang Zhan dribbled from his right hand to left and right, and Marbury didn't stop the car in time because of his full acceleration.

After Yang Zhan passed Marbury, he fast-breaked all the way to enter the three-point line. At this time, Richardson was fast enough to come directly to defend.

And Yang Zhan is not Warrick. He directly gave the ball to the left corner during the march. There was no one there, but when the ball just arrived, Battier also happened to be in position.

The typical ball arrives, Battier stabilized after receiving the ball, and chose an open three-pointer before Marbury came to make up the defense.

brush!hit.

After receiving the pass, Marbury wanted to start a fast break directly, but when he thought about the inside line and couldn't keep up, the coach's tactics were also to play positions, so he had to give up this idea.

After everyone in the frontcourt was settled, Marbury gave the ball to Eddie Curry in the low post, and the latter attacked Chandler with a back attack.

In terms of strength alone, Eddie Curry is definitely better, so even if the effect is not obvious, Chandler is still pushed back.

Finally, when he was approaching the basket, Eddie Curry turned around and forced a layup shot. However, all his previous strength was used in confrontation, so the shot was very unstable and the basketball missed the basket.

Chandler turned around and protected the backboard. Yang Zhan caught the ball and immediately launched a fast break. He didn't have a chance all the way to the frontcourt.

At this time, two seconds later, Warrick entered the field from the top position of the arc, and the opponent did not come to defend at the first time.

But Yang Zhan seized the opportunity and tossed the ball into the air with both hands. Warrick jumped up and completed a one-handed tomahawk dunk as soon as he entered the paint.

Before the game, the fans didn't expect that what they were going to watch was the "Double Treasures" duel, but not long after the first quarter, they were robbed by Varick's various explosive dunks.

The Knicks attacked, Marbury took the ball to the frontcourt, and Eddie Curry failed two consecutive singles against Chandler, so that instead of hanging to the inside, he gave the ball to Crawford.

The latter is not very good at this kind of one-on-one style of play, so facing Roy's defense, he did not choose to single out but called Frye to pick and roll.

At this time, when Crawford was on the pick-and-roll, a sharp change of direction followed by an instant explosion, allowing him to pass Roy and rush to the inside.

No one was defending during the march, and Crawford came all the way to the penalty area, facing the defense of "two people" under the basket.

Crawford directly took a throw shot, but the feel was a little bit worse, and the attack ended in a strike.

Originally, Chandler had already taken the lead to stand on the backboard position, but Eddie Curry just relied on his own strength to squeeze the opponent away.

The two kept fighting for position. At this time, Roy directly picked up a leak. He protected the backcourt rebound and directly launched a fast break counterattack.

Not long after halftime, Roy gave the ball to Yang Zhan on the other side, who broke through to the inside facing Marbury's defense.

Although he didn't get rid of his opponent, Yang Zhan has a natural size advantage, when he came to the basket.

First, he pushed Marbury away with his right arm, and then slightly jumped up with his left hand for a layup, easily scoring the ball.

A little bit of time passed, and as Marbury made a mid-range shot at the buzzer after the pick-and-roll, the referee's whistle sounded to end the first quarter.

The Grizzlies lead the Knicks by 32 points 24-8.

The intermission is over and the second quarter begins.

After previous discussions, the rotation lineup Nelson sent was Yang Zhan, Jones, Posey, Warrick, and Swift.

The lineup sent by the Knicks is, point guard: Francis, shooting guard: Quentin Richardson, small forward: Malik Rose, power forward: David Lee, center: Eddie Curry.

The Grizzlies attack first, and Yang Zhan immediately speeds up after receiving the ball. This lineup is going to run and bomb, but for the first time, the opponent has already taken the lead, so there is no chance.

At this time, Yang Zhan was organizing at the top of the arc, and Swift came up to play an off-ball pick-and-roll for Posey, but at this time Eddie Curry did not come out inside.

So James Posey ran out of the open space very easily. Seeing this, Yang Zhan passed the ball directly.

The latter made a three-pointer before the opponent's defense, but after all, he felt a little bit worse when he first played, and Curry protected the backcourt rebounds with his shots.

The Knicks attacked, Francis came to the frontcourt with the ball, facing Yang Zhan's defense, trying to use speed and explosive singles.

However, the current him is no longer the original boss. Although the breakthrough was successful, he couldn't even lead by half a body.

Breaking all the way into the paint, Francis still didn't get rid of Yang Zhan. He knew that if he forced a layup, he would probably be blocked.

So after entering the basket, Francis gave the ball directly to Eddie Curry, who made a layup after receiving the ball.

This ball really cannot be blamed on Swift. Eddie Curry's size and position just now made it impossible to stop it.
