Chapter 259 Jazz's Weakness
On January 1st, around 1 o'clock in the afternoon, half an hour before the game, the Grizzlies are changing today's equipment in the locker room.

Yang Zhan took out the new pair of red sneakers from his locker, but this time he didn't let his teammates put them on.

Because besides himself, there is another person who signed the sneaker contract, and that person is the team's rookie Roy.

This prevents him from wearing Yang Zhan's sneakers. If everyone's feet are the same when they appear on the stage, Roy is the only exception.

This doesn't look very good after all, and through this topic, it may be what the media spreads.

"Roy Isolated by the Grizzlies"

Anyway, Yang felt that such news would definitely not escape.

In fact, Yang Zhan's parents once wanted to sign Roy through their own judgment, but they could only choose to give up due to financial difficulties.

Half an hour passed quickly. When the interview and the final shooting warm-up were over, the referee's whistle sounded, and the game between the Grizzlies and the Jazz officially began at the FedEx Arena.

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

The lineup sent by the Jazz is, point guard: Deron, shooting guard: Gordon. Giriisek, small forward: Kirilenko, power forward: Boozer, center: Mehmet Okur.

"As of now, their record is 22 wins and 9 losses, and they are currently ranked third in the Western Conference. The opponent's performance in the beginning of the season is very impressive, winning streak all the way," the foreign commentator explained to the fans.

Chandler came to the midfield and succeeded in jumping the ball. The Grizzlies got the first chance to attack, and Yang Zhan directly started to speed up with the ball.

And the reason for doing this is that this is the way to deal with the Jazz, as the commentator said.

They were too popular at the beginning of the season, and many strong teams were defeated, which led to the coaching staff of the entire league studying them.

And the final conclusion is that the opponent's lineup can only exert its full strength in a positional battle.

Once the speed of the audience increases, the overall level of the Jazz will definitely decline unless they feel very good.

However, the effect of this first attack was not obvious. The opponent retreated quickly and had already established a position in advance.

Yang Zhan came to the front court with the ball, facing Deron's defense, instead of singles, he asked Chandler to pull out the pick-and-roll.

After switching defenses, Chandler moved down the line, facing Okur's defense, Yang Zhan made a symbolic breakthrough to the right, and then hung the ball over.

After Chandler received the pass, he just came to the basket position. Seeing this situation, Boozer decisively gave up Warrick and came to defend.

Facing a double-team at this time, Chandler first squeezed away Deron beside him, and then forced a layup in the face of Boozer's defense.

brush!Hit!

Conversely, the Jazz are attacking, and Deron's possession of the ball must be a rhythm.

After all the players settled down in the frontcourt, Deron knew that he couldn't fight Yang Zhan, so he directly called Boozer to pick and roll.

The moment he switched defenses, Deron took a step back facing Warrick's defense, and then gave the ball to Boozer at the free throw line.

Now that Okur's position has been pulled to the outside, the opponent's three-point shooting percentage this season is close to 30.00%, so Chandler must be rooted out.

At this time, facing Yang Zhan's defense, Boozer forced a breakthrough to the basket with his strength, and then knocked Yang Zhan away to complete a one-handed dunk.

After a real confrontation, it was discovered that this technical power forward is stronger than Warrick in terms of strength. Boozer, who has entered his peak period, is also one of the top ten goals, and there are often scenes of dunks.

Conversely, the Grizzlies attacked, and Yang Zhan picked up the speed and pushed the fast break counterattack after receiving the ball. This time, he finally got a chance.

Yang Zhan gave the ball to Roy, who was first in the left corner. The latter directly chose a three-pointer before Girisek came over.

Boom!Strike the iron!It feels a bit worse.

However, Chandler, who just came to the frontcourt at this time, rushed directly to the inside to force the offensive rebound, and then passed back to Yang Zhan, who was standing at the top of the arc.

At the moment of receiving the ball, Yang Zhan made a surprise breakthrough and directly broke through to the inside, taking a big step ahead of Deron by half a body.

No one came to double-team during the march, came to the basket to face Okur's defense, stopped and faked and tapped.

Seeing that the opponent didn't intend to take off, Yang Zhan didn't force a layup, but handed it to Chandler, who had a higher success rate.

The latter also followed Yang Zhan to make up and down feints, who knew that Okur really jumped up.

Watching Chandler succeed in the layup, Yang Zhan felt a serious blow in his heart. How bad was my move just now?How fake is he?

The Jazz attacked, and Deron slowly took the ball to the front court, and then gave the ball to Boozer who was on the right baseline.

Facing Warrick's defense, the latter chose to attack the basket head-on. First, he used his strength advantage to open up some space, and then jumped up and slightly leaned back to make a mid-range shot.

brush!Hit!

Strength, inside footsteps, and stable mid-range shooting are all Boozer's strengths, and at this time his shortcomings are exposed.

Yang Zhan held the ball and played a fast-break counterattack. Roy was chased by Gillisek this time, so there was no chance.

As for Battier's speed, although he is faster than Kirilenko, the latter obviously understands this as a top defensive player.

So when Battier didn't wait for the start speed, Kirilenko directly posted it without giving you a chance.

At this time, Yang Zhan, who came to the frontcourt, gave the ball to Warrick, who was the first to enter the field. The latter caught the ball and entered the paint area, broke through two steps, jumped up and dunked successfully.

This is a major shortcoming of Boozer. Obviously he retreated first, but Warrick was the first to enter the field. The difference in speed is not 01:30.

The Jazz attacked, and Deron came to the frontcourt after receiving the ball, facing Yang Zhan's defense, he directly called Okur to pick and roll.

Okur does not go down like other center forwards, but directly shifts to a position at a 45° angle on the right to open up space.

After switching defenses, Deron faced Chandler's defense. He was good at playing small and big. After a simple two dribbles, he broke forward.

When he came to the free throw line, Deron's original breakthrough speed suddenly became [-]% faster, which is the change in rhythm, allowing him to pass Chandler directly.

When he came to the inside line, Warrick came to defend. Seeing this situation, the moving chubby paper did not choose to go it alone but passed the ball to Boozer who was open in the right corner.

The latter is very confident in catching the ball, and he doesn't need to adjust and shoot directly.

This buddy can make a shot, let alone now.

Boom!Strike the iron!

Um. Maybe I am used to strong investment, but I am not used to this sudden good opportunity.

Ok!That's it.
