Chapter 254 Stalemate. Blacksmithing
With Roy's goal, the cheers on the scene stopped abruptly, but soon the cheers of the fans sounded again.

Because Nowitzki in the frontcourt took advantage of his absolute height to face Battier's defense at a 60° angle on the right and forced a three-pointer.

Conversely, the Grizzlies attacked, and Lu Wei took the ball to the frontcourt and gave it to Yang Zhan, who organized the free throw line.

At this time, Battier took advantage of his speed and ran off the ball to the bottom line, directly leaving Nowitzki behind.

Yang Zhan, who was at the free throw line, passed the ball directly when he saw this, and the latter caught the ball at 45° on the right and made an open three-pointer.

brush!Hit!

"Hey! The two teams are on the bar, and they both feel good." Domestic commentator Zhang Reasonable said.

In fact, the situation on the court is really like this. The outside touch of the two teams has been very good throughout the quarter.

So in the third quarter, Yang Zhan didn't play any specific role, but this small assist did a lot.

As Jason Terry launched a fast-break counterattack, he passed to Nowitzki, who followed up at the top of the arc, and the latter also made a direct three-pointer after receiving the ball.

brush!Hit!

The referee's whistle sounded, and the third quarter ended. The Grizzlies temporarily tied with the Mavericks 76-76.

The intermission is over, and the last quarter of the game begins. The Mavericks sent their own starting lineup.

Nelson came in, the small ball lineup that showed his hands before, Lu Wei, Roy, Posey, Battier, and Yang Zhan.

Players from both sides came on the stage and the Grizzlies took the lead. Yang Zhan came to the frontcourt to organize at the top of the arc, and gave the tactical movement to Brandon Roy who received the ball from the outside.

The latter still catches the ball at 45° on the left side. After all, the three-pointer at this point is his most accurate. Facing Jason Terry's defense, Roy chose to forcefully pull.

Boom!Strike the iron!

In turn, the Mavericks attacked, and Harris immediately launched a fast-break counterattack after receiving a pass from Dampier.

When he came to the frontcourt, he gave the ball to Jason Terry after the pick-and-roll tactics. You must know that Roy faced his pull-up but missed the last ball.

Therefore, facing Roy's defense this time, Jason Terry must choose to shoot one, and the same three-pointer is pulled out.

Boom!Strike the iron!The effect is the same.
With the passage of time, the time on the field has reached about 4 minutes, and the three-pointers of the two teams have not yet been opened.

This is really a strange thing. In the last quarter, there were shots whether it was a dry pull or an emergency stop, but now all the players have become blacksmiths.

After another minute or so, Nelson called a timeout to the referee, and then dispatched the entire team's starting lineup.

It's just that the position of point guard is still the little brother Lu Wei, and the position of power forward is not occupied by Warrick but by Yang Zhan.

The head coach of the Mavericks took this opportunity to just emphasize some key points, and did not make any personnel adjustments.

The timeout ended the Grizzlies offense, and Yang Zhan came to the frontcourt without the ball to play a pick-and-roll for Lu Wei who was holding the ball. It seemed that he was doing Warrick's work, but the effect was much stronger.

When Yang Zhanshun came down, he directly attracted the attention of many opponents, and at this time Battier had already taken the opportunity to run out, but Lu Wei didn't give it to him at the first time.

So when Battier received the ball, Josh Howard, who was facing him, had already arrived. If the president had shot in the last quarter, but knowing that he didn't feel good, he gave the ball to Yang Zhan in the low post.

However, the moment Yang Zhan received the ball, because he knew that the outside touch was not good, the defensive formation on the opposite side obviously shrank inward.

At this time, Yang Zhan took advantage of his strength and forcibly knocked away Harris behind him. However, before he entered the inside line, Nowitzki had already come up to double-team.

The current position is almost to the basket, and there is no way to pass the ball.

Therefore, facing Nowitzki's defense, Yang Zhan could only choose to play hard. First, he bumped into the opponent without losing his position, and then made a slightly backward jumper.

brush!Hit!

Conversely, the Mavericks attacked, and Nowitzki received the ball at the left half-block position. Facing Yang Zhan's defense, he took advantage of his height and gently resisted with his body, and then directly chose a step-back jumper.

Boom!Strike the iron!

Time passed little by little, and in the last 3 minutes or so of the game on the field, the direct scores of the two sides were still tied.

However, the outside touch of the two teams has not been opened, so there are not many offensive methods now, and they are all attacking inside.

The Grizzlies attacked, and Lu Wei gave the ball to Roy, who caught the ball and moved it to the left corner.

Facing Terry's defense, he directly turned on the back-up mode. With his height advantage, he chose a fadeaway jumper.

Boom!Strike the iron!

However, Yang Zhan used his explosive power to directly grab the forward rebound, and then made a second offensive layup under the basket.

Harris took the ball to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Nowitzki in the low post. Reasonably, after a real confrontation, he discovered that the old driver's strength was not as weak as imagined.

At this time, Nowitzki, with his back on his back, first pushed lightly, and then staggered his position with his skillful low footsteps.

With this little space, Nuo Tianwang directly seized the opportunity and made a small throw after turning around and made a hit.

At this last moment, although the outside line has not been opened yet, the success rate of the inside line is quite high.

With the last 50 seconds left in the game, the scores of the two sides remained tied.

The Grizzlies attacked, and Lu Wei held the ball at the top of the arc and gave it to Yang Zhan. At this critical moment, Nowitzki did not dare to steal the ball easily.

The 24 seconds of this round are about to enter, and the running position of his teammates still has not come out. At this time, Yang Zhan faced Nowitzki's defense at the top of the arc.

First, he took a large tentative step and made a fake move to break through. Nowitzki was shaken for a while, and then Yang Zhan jumped up on the spot, and directly chose a fadeaway jumper to shoot.

brush!Hit!

With the last 26 seconds left in the time, the Mavericks coach called a timeout to the referee, and the final attack was made.

When the timeout came back, the opponent's lineup on the field was adjusted. They replaced Dampier with Nowitzki as the top center, and then replaced Stackhouse to add an offensive point.

The Grizzlies also made adjustments for defense. At this time, the lineup on the field was .

Roy, Posey, Battier, Yang Zhan, Chandler.

After a timeout, Harris took the ball to the frontcourt, and when the timer passed for about 10 seconds, the opponent's pick-and-roll tactics began.

Everyone's defensive attention is basically on Nowitzki. However, after the pick-and-roll, Harris gave the ball to Terry, who had an open opportunity in the left corner.

Now Roy of the Grizzlies is the fastest moving, and he rushed to Terry's side for the first time, but the latter didn't choose to shoot after receiving the ball, but went straight to the inside.
