Chapter 292 Strengths and Weaknesses

The Clippers attacked, Cassel took the ball to the frontcourt, facing Yang Zhan's defense, he wanted to play exactly the same as last time.

But the last hit itself was a dribble, and Yang Zhan's defense was stronger this time.

So Kassel's fadeaway shot from the free throw line, let alone a shot, was almost blocked by Yang Zhan.

Boom!Strike the iron!

Turning his head and seeing that Chandler grabbed the backcourt rebound, Yang Zhan's first thought was that there is no need to launch a single fast break.

He advanced halfway at normal speed, then gave the ball to Gasol, and finally looked at the opponent at the top of the arc, crushing Thomas and hanging the opponent for a forced layup, causing the opponent's thugs to foul.

The worst thing is that he threw the ball in. Of course, a big man who can shoot a fadeaway will have a good free throw chance, which naturally includes Gasol.

The latter walked to the free throw line, clapped hands with his teammates, then took a deep breath and aimed at the basket, scoring 2+1 easily.

The fans at the scene, who were afraid of affecting Gasol, cheered even more enthusiastically like a spring when the opponent threw it in.

With the passage of time, the game on the court lasted more than 3 minutes. With Gasol's outstanding performance during this period, the Grizzlies have expanded the score to double digits.

For the Clippers' possession of the ball, head coach Dunleavy directly called a short timeout to the referee without any tactical adjustments, in order to replace the head star Brand.

As for the Grizzlies, Nelson didn't make any adjustments, he just said some words of encouragement, and at the same time made his teammates more resolute in double-teaming.

Back from the timeout, Cassel took the ball to the frontcourt, waved directly to Yang Zhan's defense, and called Brand, who had just come up, to come over and play a pick-and-roll.

This time, with the previous inference, Gasol also brought it up. After all, Kassel's open mid-range shot is really accurate.

After switching defenses, Gasol let the opponent take a step, because his wingspan is enough to directly interfere or even block shots when Cassel shoots.

However, Cassell did not fight big, but gave it to Elton Brand, who seemed to be more adept.

If the opponent uses his usual frontal breakthrough, Yang Zhan still has hope to defend against it, because the opponent's ability to control the ball is not good, he can still try to steal, no matter how bad it is, he can slow down his speed of hitting the basket.

But the opponent didn't have that intention, and directly chose to play alone. At this time, as long as Yang Zhan stepped forward, he would definitely be passed directly.

Because he is a man who has used the Brand player card, Yang Zhan is very clear about how fast the opponent's back turn is.

But still Nelson had the foresight, and Battier came directly to double-team him, which made it much easier.

As for Livingston, who was emptied by Brand, after all, this is also the opponent's third season in the league.

So in this case, he didn't stand stupidly in the right corner, but cut directly to the basket without the ball.

At this moment, Brand, who had gathered the ball over his head, wanted to pass the ball behind his head when he saw this situation, but it was passed directly to Yang Zhan behind him.

In fact, many big men in the league can play this hand. When Gasol is most familiar with organizing offenses, he will always use this method in the situation just now.

Because it is very simple and effective, but Brand is different. He is a short fourth position with a height of only 2 meters.

So this gives him an absolute speed advantage in the matchup.

But relatively, there will naturally be disadvantages compared to the normal fourth position, for example, this is one of them.

After stealing the ball, Yang Zhan directly launched a fast-break counterattack. Just after halftime, he gave the ball to Roy who followed up on the right.

Because the latter's moving speed is a little faster than itself, when Roy came outside the three-point line.

Facing Mobley who was catching up, he gave the ball to Yang Zhan at the top of the arc. The latter is now completely unmarked, so he came to the basket and directly picked the basket.

Conversely, the Clippers were attacking. After Cassel came to the frontcourt, he still played a pick-and-roll with Brand, and then gave the opponent a through ball.

The latter saw that Battier was coming to double-team again, so when the rhythm was not too stable, he directly turned his back to dribble.

Seeing this situation, Yang Zhan made a move directly, and Brand immediately raised the ball in response. Although he didn't break it, the opponent also stopped the ball.

The latter couldn't move even if he moved. As for the jump shot, it was impossible, so it was passed back to Cassel at the top of the arc.

The opponent didn't stop for 2 seconds when receiving the ball, and then passed it to Mobley, who was cutting in without the ball. When the latter broke through to the basket and faced Chandler's interference, he chose not to slow down and throw the shot.

Not to mention, this action is really similar to a small French sports car, but like many players in the league, he only has a shape but no spirit.

Boom!Strike the iron!

If Kaman hadn't had Brand's help, his rebounding statistics would have dropped by half, but he certainly wouldn't be in double figures per game.

And he is still at the free throw line, it is impossible to help him get stuck, so don't count on offensive rebounds.

Yang Zhan turned his head and glanced briefly, and saw that Gasol was holding the ball under the basket, so he ran without saying anything.

This time it was a real long pass from the quarterback. The ball came as soon as Yang Zhan arrived in the paint. Mobley next to him wanted to fight for it, but his height and wingspan were simply not enough.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Zhan broke through to the inside. When he came to the basket, he directly pushed away Mobley beside him, and finally succeeded in picking the basket easily.

On the other hand, the Clippers attacked, and Mobley made a Z-shaped run in the right corner, relying on his personal ability to get rid of Roy who was facing him.

The moment he came out of the pocket, Cassel directly gave the ball to the opponent, and the latter immediately chose a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

brush!Hit!

This can be said to have stopped the bleeding for them, otherwise the opponent's head coach Dunleavy would have called a timeout to the referee.

The Grizzlies attacked, and Yang Zhan gave the ball to Gasol, although Brand had already defended well.

But when Gasol faced Thomas before, his confidence and touch had already been displayed, so even if he didn't have any good shooting space, he had already chosen to force a hook shot.

brush!Hit!

Conversely, when the Clippers attacked, Cassel still looked for Mobley, but the opponent didn't make a three-pointer this time.

As time passed, both sides were scoring in their own ways.

Following Yang Zhan's fast break and holding the ball to the frontcourt, facing Kassel's defense, he rushed directly into the three-point line and made a mid-range shot.

The referee's whistle sounded and the third quarter ended. The Grizzlies led the Clippers by 79 points 72-7 at home.
