Countercurrent and become a superstar

Chapter 91 Like Nash, Tan Yang not only serves as a supporting passing point, but also the end point of offensive scoring!
After consecutively defeating the Spurs, Hornets, and Rockets, the Mavericks' Southwest Devils have come to an end, leaving only the last BOSS - the Memphis Grizzlies.

At this time, the Grizzlies' record is 4 wins and 4 losses, 8-1, and the Mavericks' record is wins and loss. They have the best resources all the way to the regular season list. You call this Grizzlies team the biggest BOSS. ?

Hong Kong, if the Grizzlies succeed in betting on the 03 draft, if they get the No. pick... Oh no, if Stern gives them the No. pick instead of the lonely No. pick, this Grizzlies team will definitely be BOSS level existence.

It's just a pity that there are no what-ifs in this world. No matter how good the Grizzlies' plan is, they still have to pay. Bah, they have to pay for the first-round pick in 03, which means that the second pick has to be given to the Pistons.

In other words, a record of 4 wins and 4 losses cannot really fulfill the task of goalkeeping BOSS, but if you lose 4 games, including three consecutive away games, losing to bad teams such as the Trail Blazers, Suns and Jazz, one of them will be at home. , it was the opening game, and they only lost to the Green Army by 2 points, but they still had not adapted to the new tactics.

The four games won were three home games, in which they defeated the Rockets, Spurs and Lakers respectively.

These three teams were all among the top teams in terms of record at the time. They were truly strong teams, well, at least they were pseudo-strong teams, such as the Rockets who were named.

you are right?

That’s right, it’s robbing the rich and giving to the poor!
This Grizzlies team is very weird. When facing a weak team, no one can beat it. When facing a strong team, good guys, the Lakers, the defending champion last season, the triple crown winner last season, and the F4 version of the Lakers, all played. They were all killed.

The Rockets were at least a dark pony team. They were in hot shape at the time and could be called a strong team.

If James or Wade were given to them in the 03 draft, wouldn't the Grizzlies be able to fly into the sky?

The man behind the Grizzlies is West, but it's a pity that even the reborn people can't beat the president David West who has the conditions to operate in the dark!

The Grizzlies have everything going on in this game, and they only need one superstar to have the talent to challenge a new dynasty.

Pity!
February 11, FedEx Arena.

Night falls.

At this time, the Grizzlies' home court was about to hold a regular game against the Mavericks. The lights were bright and there was a sea of ​​people.

During warmups, Nowitzki chatted with Gasol and Jason Williams about pennies.

Nowitzki and Gasol are both insiders who came from Europe, so they naturally have a sympathy for each other. They will both be called "softies" in the future. It is indeed easy to talk together. After all, they can both understand each other's difficulties.

As for Jason Williams coming to join in the fun, it’s not that he looks familiar, but he looks familiar.

Nowitzki and Jason Williams both debuted in 98, one was picked 9th and the other was picked 6th, making up 69... Oh no, Jason Williams was picked 7th.

Fortunately, it doesn't matter, they all went to sea at the same time, so this face must be familiar.

At this time, the starting lineups of both sides for tonight's match were also displayed on the big screen in the arena.

The Grizzlies starting five, Jake Tsakalidis, Roll Sol, James Posey, Mike Miller, Jason Williams.

The Mavericks' starting five remain unchanged, Gasol, Walker, Finley, Tan Yang, and Nash.

This game will be broadcast live on TNT radio, with Mike Breen and groom Albert providing commentary.

"Just looking at the lineup, if I had to guess the victory, the advantage would definitely be with the Mavericks.

If you look at the style of the Grizzlies, this game is hard to predict.

If I had to guess, it would be a 50-50 split. "

Mike Breen nodded and continued.

“Compared to winning percentage!

What I care more about is the duel between the Grizzlies and Mavericks basketball concepts, which is very worth looking forward to.

Needless to say, the Mavericks will definitely focus on star players and have multiple players.

The Grizzlies have shown a different style this season.

They play team basketball. Under the leadership and organization of head coach Hubie Brown, this Grizzlies team plays with the philosophy that everyone is a soldier, role players are twisted into a rope, and the team wins with the philosophy. "

"All-stars huddle together VS role players huddle together for warmth. Such a sharp collision and confrontation really makes people feel less sleepy."

“The Grizzlies rotate ten people, especially in a single quarter, they rotate ten people, which is very courageous.

Compared to the Mavericks, who can only play hard with their all-star lineup in their prime years, the Grizzlies game is indeed quite exciting and exciting. Next, leave the game to the players on the court..."

The game is on!

Off the court, Hubie Brown looked at his own Jack Tsakalidis and then at the Grizzlies' Dirk Nowitzki, feeling that the jump ball was stable.

The reason why Jack Tsakalidis is allowed to start the game is because he wants to use his height of 2 meters to bully others.

Snapped--!
Nowitzki beat Tsakalidis to give the Mavericks the ball on the first possession.

Whoopi Brown looked depressed.

Floor flow, height alone is of no use.

……

Nash controlled the ball to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Tan Yang who was outside the 75-degree three-point line on the right side for the first time. Then, without the ball, he cut outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right side.

At this time, Walker asked for the ball in the low post on the right, and the Mavericks attacked the area on the right, forming an offensive triangle.

At the same time, Nowitzki moved to a high position and moved to the top arc.

Qin Yang faced Mike Miller and chose to distribute the ball to the right side.

"Nash caught the ball, lifted it up, pulled it out, shot it, raised his hand and hit a three-point jumper..."

The Mavericks have two point guards on the field, and their main focus is to release the offensive firepower of the two point guards, especially Nash's precise three-pointers.

Jason Williams moves very fast, but Nash cuts outside without the ball and shoots after receiving the ball, leading step by step. Moreover, Jason Williams still lost 185 days. Even though he desperately rushed to block the shot, it was still not enough. When I arrived, I could only hear the sound of gunshots.

Swish-!
The knife falls and the ball goes in.

Nash made a precise three-pointer.

“A very nice three-point tactic!!

Nash hit a three-pointer on the Mavericks' first attack, taking the lead.

This is the advantage of the Mavericks' All-Star card, which can play both support and main offense.

Individual scoring ability can hurt the opponent's defense. It is a difficult problem to defend against such attacking firepower..."

Apparently, the Grizzlies won’t do it either!

3 to 0! !
Off the court, Hubie Brown doesn't care about the Mavericks' scoring offense.

Because they are not playing the game alone.

In team basketball, you are not afraid of the offensive damage of one of the opponent's stars.

They will eventually return it.

Bang-dang——!
Gasol moved to the outside to catch the ball, faced Nowitzki's block, and missed the two-point jumper.

Hong Kong and the Grizzlies are also a team that strives for shooting. It's just a pity that Gasol was soft and didn't shoot in, just hanging around on the outside.

Looking back, Nash controlled the ball to the frontcourt, continued to pass the ball to Tan Yang, and then continued to cut outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right side. Then, he reached for the ball and wanted to shoot.

As a supporting passer, Tan Yang did not favor Nash alone and chose to distribute the ball to Nowitzki in the middle. "Nowitzki retreated outside the three-point line, and Gasol obviously didn't defend resolutely enough.

Cutting from the top arc, receiving a pass from Tan Yang, Nowitzki immediately broke through with the ball and reached the penalty area. With Jack Tsakalidis blocking the shot and Posey's assisting defense, Nowitzki hit a three-pointer. A layup..."

Gasol and Tsakalidis are both white centers. Although they are both very tall, they are not good at physical confrontation. Now that Gasol is moved out of the penalty area, Nowitzki can get to the basket and finish with his body. and skills, showing off the Grizzlies' rim defense.

Swish-!
With the knife in hand, Nowitzki broke through for a layup, penetrated the Grizzlies' defense, scored two points, and continued the Mavericks' offensive firepower.

"The Mavericks' offense can't be defended, it can't be defended at all!
On the right side, top, middle and bottom, there are three three-point muskets arranged in a row, aiming at the Gray Energy team's position from the outside.

As long as the ball is distributed to the left or center, it can hit the basket and attack the Grizzlies' defense in the emptied penalty area.

This is the advantage of the triangle offensive tactic in positional warfare.

He can let the stars take the ball to challenge the opponent's defense, and have a wider offensive space. If you lose sight of one thing, what can you use to overcome it..."

You can't stand it!

Off the court, Nelson nodded with satisfaction.

Nash cuts without the ball, which can cover up his ability to break through and attack, and amplify his three-point shooting ability.

Tan Yang supports the pass, can cover up his breakthrough skills and physical ability, and exert his organization and three-point ability.

Nowitzki can play on the left or right, pull out to shoot, or rush in to rush to the basket. As long as he is given offensive space, he will be able to deliver satisfactory answers offensively.

It can cover up the problem of his inability to attack the low position. With the involvement of three muskets from the outside, no team dared to let go and let the Mavericks fire at their defense from the outside.

And this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Tan Yang is put into the starting lineup, which can solve the Mavericks' problem of insufficient offensive efficiency with one ball.

There are five All-Star-level offensive players in the team. No matter how they arrange their troops, they can't use all their offensive firepower.

With Tan Yang's assistance, the situation on the court would be different.

Although Finley on the left has a problem of invisibility a lot of the time now, that is not a problem with the triangle offensive auxiliary system on the right, but a problem with Nowitzki's too strong offensive power.

Nowitzki's offense is too easy to score. Naturally, he can solve the opponent by himself without passing the ball, and there is no need to distribute the ball.

However, if you play a fast-paced offense, Finley is a sharp knife.

At this point, the problem of positional warfare is solved, and all that remains is how to play a good run-and-gun game, the offensive mode that the Mavericks are best at.

On the court, the Grizzlies attack.

Jason Williams controlled the ball to the frontcourt. Faced with Nash's problem of sending points, he chose to break through with the ball.

"Going in, the Mavericks' defense was in a panic. Nash couldn't guard him, so Tan Yang and Finley chose to help defend.

boom--!
A beautiful back-up pass. Jason Williams used a gorgeous pass to pass the basketball to the 65-degree three-point line on the right side. In Mike Miller's hands, he caught the ball, raised it, and raised his hand to shoot a three-point jumper. …”

Tan Yang was busy wiping Nash's butt, but he was so preoccupied with it that he couldn't protect his own position and could only listen to the gunshot.

Fortunately, Jason Williams is dribbling the ball alone. Not only the Mavericks' defense is panicking, but the Grizzlies are also panicking. After all, no one can guess who he will pass the ball to.

It's okay if I can catch it, but I'm afraid I'll make a mistake if I can't.

For this reason, focus more on catching the ball rather than shooting.

Mike Miller's shooting action is very standard, but unfortunately, there are too many adjustments and the rhythm is not smooth.

Bang-dang——!
“The opportunity is here!!

But the basket was not used to Mike Miller, and his three-point shot missed.

Alas, the Grizzlies' offense is not over yet.

Gasol picked off the offensive rebound, and the Grizzlies' twin towers had a clear rebound advantage.

Gasol landed, and instead of finishing the shot himself, he passed the ball to Jason Williams who was rushing over.

After regaining the basketball, Jason Williams dribbled the ball to the basket for a layup. Would this ball have happened... Oh no, my God, Jason Williams got more than half way up, broke through a pause, and deceived the Mavericks. All the defensive energy, and then distributed the ball to Gasol who was completely empty on the left side of the basket, and then, there was nothing more..."

Bang-dang——!
Gasol dunked on a cake, his whole body hanging on the basket.

His unfettered passing can't keep up with his passing channels, and the defense can only watch.

5 to 2! !
On the commentary table, Mike Breen sighed and shook his head after seeing this scene.

“Jack Williams’ white chocolate is so beautiful!
He pretended to break through for a layup, but it was a real pass to assist. There is nothing to say that the Mavericks' defense was torn apart.

However, it was also the opportunity given by the Mavericks.

Their inside strength is too poor, and the basketball boards in the frontcourt are all given away..."

Off the court, Nelson showed his hands. There was nothing he could do about the flaws inside.

This is not a problem for tonight's meeting, but a problem that will be encountered every night when there is a game. What else should he do?
I can only come back offensively.

On the ball, Nash controlled the ball to the frontcourt, once the tactic was completed, he continued to play music, and then played again.

In the frontcourt, the ball was distributed to Tan Yang to support him, and while bringing Jason Williams' defense in front of Tan Yang, he cut to the right side of the three-point line without the ball.

"Qin Yang caught the ball and passed the basketball back to Nash as fast as a wall pass.

Nash caught the ball, lifted it, clicked, and switched to Mike Miller.

My goodness!

Nash actually didn't shoot. He passed the ball to Tan Yang who cut through the basket and scored.

Very nice cooperation, three-point offensive tactics, in addition to various triangle changes, there is also a mobile element. Tan Yang also cuts without the ball, accepts any pass, and instantly tears through the Mavericks' defense.

Jason Williams slid hard to catch up, but it was of no use. Tan Yang used his body to get into position, and then dribbled the ball for a layup, finishing the shot with a small floater..."

Swish-!
The closer to the basketball, the higher the hit rate.

Tan Yang and Nash continuously passed the ball and cut through the Grizzlies' defense. They reached the penalty area and took shots, but they couldn't get through at all.

7 to 2! !
At the beginning of the game, the Mavericks attacked from the outside in and attacked with full firepower, killing the Grizzlies' defense to pieces.

Tan Yang, like Nash, can be used as a supporting passing point, and can also be used as an end point for offensive scoring, making it easier for the Grizzlies' defense to be guarded.

In the transition between offense and defense, Jason Williams' breakthrough made the Mavericks' defense messy again.

"Nash still can't defend himself!
Just as they were about to be smashed into a sieve, Finley and Tan Yang, one on the left and one on the right, assisted in the defense.

Still passing the ball behind the back, Jason Williams broke through and passed the ball, and then passed the damn basketball to Mike Miller.

Catch the ball, lift it up, and he shoots... No, Mike Miller learned the lesson this time, he chose to dribble the ball through and go to the basket for a layup..."

Swish-!
As a pure shooter, Mike Miller did not shoot from the outside. Instead, he copied Tan Yang's offensive work just now. He also easily penetrated the Mavericks' interior defense and sent the damn basketball into the basket.

I don't understand defense, and neither can you.

The Mavericks' insiders continue to be like the young lady standing on the street, getting in whenever she wants, and the door is now open for you. If you don't lose it, who will lose it!
7 to 4! !
