Chapter 262 Lion's Roar Sobering Up
But the current Millsap is similar to Boozer's current style of play, but he is far behind in terms of shooting stability and back-up strength.

From the simplest statistics alone, the former averages 20+ per game and the latter averages 6.8 per game, so when Millsap is at the free throw line and receives a pass from Deron, he directly chooses a mid-range shot.

Boom!Strike the iron!

Conversely, the Grizzlies attacked, and Yang Zhan held the ball to the frontcourt to organize. Warrick's original speed advantage was not obvious after facing Millsap, so basically there were no opportunities.

At this time, positions 60 and [-] began to play off-ball pick-and-rolls, and Battier, who was originally in the left corner, had already begun to shift to a [-]-degree angle.

However, although he has an open chance now, because Battier was too inefficient before, Yang Zhan's shot was slow.

But at this time, Chandler, who had just cut back to the basket, was already in position. Seeing the top of the arc, Yang Zhan lobbed over Deron and gave the ball to the opponent.

In normal times, Chandler basically has no chance to play singles, and at least half of his 12.9 points per game are obtained by relying on Yang Zhan to feed the cake.

But today is different. Judging from the performance in the first quarter, Chandler is in excellent condition.

Sure enough, when the boxing champion faced Okur's defense after receiving the ball, he first used his strength advantage to find a physical confrontation, and then turned around and made a small hook shot.

The Jazz attacked Deron with the ball to the frontcourt, and Girisek threw off the defender Jones after Millsap's pick-and-roll.

Immediately afterwards, he shifted from a 45° angle on the right to a 45° angle on the left, and gained a short opportunity to be vacant.

Deron, who was organized at the top of the arc, passed the ball directly when he saw this, and the latter immediately shot a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

Boom!Strike the iron!

Chandler protected the backcourt rebound, and Yang Zhan came to the frontcourt after receiving the ball.

Facing Xiaopang's defense, he dribbled the ball into the three-point line, then got up directly and chose a mid-range pull-up jumper.

brush!Hit!

As time passed, the second quarter lasted about 4 minutes, and the Grizzlies were still in the lead, and the score was expanded.

Regardless of the lineup of the Jazz, Deron is the one with the strongest personal ability. Judging from the collocation and the characteristics of the role players, chasing points should be very fast.

But this problem arises with Xiaopang, who has the strongest personal strength, because the opponent's lineup needs to raise the rhythm of the field, so as to bring out all the advantages of the pitcher.

But he is not Kidd and Nash, and Deron's own style of play and physique are inherently positional, so the coaching aspect is also somewhat difficult.

When the game went on for about half a minute, the Jazz called a short timeout to make personnel adjustments.

Jerry Sloan brought in the original starting lineup, as did Nelson Sr.

After the timeout, the Grizzlies attacked first, and the rhythm of controlling the ball before was now speeding up again.

Faced with Delong's defense, Yang Zhan went straight to the inside. Of course, the effect of this strong attack was not ideal.

Fortunately, Warrick entered the field during the march, and Yang Zhan hit the ground and passed the ball to the opponent, and then stuck in place to prevent Deron from passing.

At this time, Kirilenko, who came to supplement the defense, although his block data seems to be a lot, but it is basically obtained by assisting the defense.

There are not many real head-on blood caps, and he is not a powerful player himself.

So in the face of Warrick who has already rushed up, Kirilenko can't stop it at all, and can only successfully dunk the opponent's flat frame.

Conversely, when the Jazz attacked, Deron took the ball to the frontcourt and called Boozer to pick and roll. Yang Zhan's defense this time directly imitated Fisher before.

Boozer, who gave up the open free throw line, went directly with Warrick to double-team the ball handler Deron Williams.

Previously, Yang Zhan relied on his height advantage to successfully escape from danger, but De Xiaopang obviously couldn't.

His organizational skills are a little worse than Yang Zhan's, so he has no tricks to break the situation in the face of double-teaming.

At this time, under Warrick's interference, Yang Zhan directly chose to steal the ball, but he didn't expect Deron to hold it quite firmly.

There was a stalemate between the two sides for about two seconds, and the referee blew a scrimmage with his whistle.

As a result, Yang Zhan naturally won, and there was no explosion in the two floors, and there was an absolute advantage in height and wingspan, so there was no suspense at all.

But the fight was won, but the ball was snatched by Kirilenko. I think Battier still hasn't sobered up!
And Kirilenko also took advantage of the Grizzlies' defensive position, quickly broke through the inside and wiped the board and made a layup, successfully stealing one.

After Yang Zhan received the pass, he immediately launched a fast-break counterattack, and when he came to the frontcourt, he gave the ball to Roy, who was the fastest.

The latter did not stop when receiving the ball, but chose to rush all the way to the inside. When he was about to make a layup, Kirilenko suddenly killed from the diagonal.

Although the ball was indeed fanned out, the referee also called his hitter foul when Roy stood at the free throw line.

Nelson replaced Battier, who was not in good shape, with James Posey who was on the bench.

At this time, Roy missed the first free throw, probably because he was startled by the sideline coach's sound of sobering up Battier with a lion's roar. Fortunately, he made the second free throw.

The Jazz attacked Deron with the ball to the frontcourt. When he called Boozer to pick and roll and switch defenses, Yang Zhan came to double-team again.

This time it was very straightforward, and he didn't give you a chance to fight for the ball at all. Yang Zhan directly intercepted the ball when he started, and then immediately launched a fast break counterattack.

The only one who followed Yang Zhan at the first moment was Xiaopang beside him.

When Yang Zhan advanced from the backcourt and came all the way to the paint area, he saw Roy who threw off the defender on the other side and threw the ball directly into the air.

Seeing this, the latter took another step forward, then jumped up immediately, and after receiving the ball with his right hand, he blasted the basket with one arm.

The fans cheered and the commentator boasted.

The Jazz attacked, and Deron didn't dare to call the pick-and-roll this time, and directly gave the ball to Boozer in the low post.

To say that this anti-bone boy is still stable, averaging 20+ per game is not a joke.

Back-to-back singles against Warrick, the combination of footwork and strength allowed him to completely pass the opponent in less than 3 seconds.

Chandler, who was originally guarding the inside line, has been involved by Okur in the team, so when there is no one in the penalty area, Boozer directly dunks with both hands.

The Grizzlies offensive Yang Zhan came to the frontcourt, and then gave the ball to Posey who came out after the pick-and-roll, and the latter directly chose a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

brush!Hit!

When Nelson on the sidelines saw it, he nodded first, and then gave Battier another "sober up."

Time passed, and as Roy slid out of the bottom line, he made a mid-range shot at the buzzer.

The referee's whistle sounded, and the first half ended. The Grizzlies temporarily led the Jazz by 51 points 45 to 6.
