Chapter 221
“杨战6投4中，拿下8分0篮板3助攻，波什7投5中，罚球2中2，拿下12分4篮板1盖帽”于佳说道。

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Grizzlies lineup was Yang Zhan, Jones, Posey, Swift, and Chandler.

The lineup that the Raptors sent was, point guard: Ford, shooting guard: Juan Dixon, small forward: Maurice Peterson, power forward: Bosh, center: Andrea Bargnani.

"Hey, we can see that this year's No. 30 pick is playing. In the first game of the summer league, this player played 11 minutes on behalf of the Raptors. He scored 7 points, 20 rebounds, 4 blocks and 2 steal on 1 of 4 shots.

"That's right. At the same time, his debut was also very successful. At home against the Wizards, Bargnani scored 16 points in the first half. And his offensive firepower has reached beyond the three-point line, and his style of play is quite a bit like Nowitzki." The commentator Yu Jia said.

"However, apart from these two games, in an average of 25 minutes per game, he can only score a few points. Hey, let's see how the Italian No. 4 pick will perform in this game." Zhang Lili said.

The Grizzlies attacked Yang Zhan and took the ball to the frontcourt. The opposing head coach probably felt that the point guard couldn't defend anyway, so it's better to replace it with a stronger one.

Facing Ford's defense, Yang Zhan dribbled the ball into the three-point line at a 45° angle, and then directly started post-up singles.

Squeezed to a certain position, just as Yang Zhan was about to turn around and enter the inside line, Bosh had already come to double-team.

However, Yang Zhan did not make a strong play, but transferred the ball to Swift, who was near the free throw line, and the latter made a direct shot from mid-range.

brush!hit.

After all, Swift is not as foolish as Warrick. As a veteran, his mid-range shooting is much more stable.

In turn, the Raptors attacked, and Bosh came up to play a pick-and-roll for Ford. The latter broke through two steps to face the shrinking defense, and scored to Bargnani who was standing outside.

Chandler came out to make up the defense quickly, the No. [-] pick hesitated to waste the shot, and then he tapped like a little man and started to break through.

I have to say that his step speed is definitely one of the fastest among the centers in today's league.

However, Chandler relies on defense to make a living, so he also followed quickly and was not completely thrown off by his opponent.

No one came to double-team during the march, and the No. [-] pick easily broke through to the basket, but Chandler exerted great force when he made a layup.

This made Bargnani's original hand movements directly deformed, and the basketball naturally came out of the basket.

Before the game, Nelson directly deduced Bargnani's weaknesses through the video, physical confrontation is one of them.

This is why Bargnani performed well in the first few games, but then began to decline.

It's not that he's not in good shape, it's not that he can't adapt to the NBA, but that other teams know how to deal with him.

Chandler did defend the ball, but before he interfered with the jump, he turned sharply before he landed.

Bosh relied on judgment to get in position ahead of time, and relied on Swift to grab the offensive rebound, because his current position was close to the basket.

So Bosh was unlucky, and directly launched a second attack. Facing the supplementary defense of the boxing champion, the latter made a hit with a small throw with his long arm.

The Grizzlies attacked, and Yang Zhan found Ford to start post-up singles again. This time Bosh was very hesitant to double-team.

After all, his double-teaming before was not deliberately instigated by the head coach, it was determined by Dragon King himself based on his own judgment of the situation on the field.

In the second half of the first quarter, he faced the rookie Warrick, and the effect of letting him go to double-team was naturally good.

But now he is facing the veteran Swift, especially just now he entered one, Bosh glanced at the head coach, who did not give any indication.

That is, when the Dragon King was hesitating, Yang Zhan succeeded in hitting Ford with his back. This time he did not enter the inside line, but tried his hand, turned around and shot a jumper.

brush!hit.

"Good shot, at Yang Zhan's point, the opponent really has nothing to do, the difference in size is too big." The commentator Zhang Lili said with a smile.

Conversely, the Raptors attacked, and Bosh did not step forward to pick and roll this time, so Ford at the top of the arc directly lobbed the ball to Bosh in the low post.

The latter practiced a feint because he knew he couldn't fight against himself, and after he failed to feint a shot.

Bosh used his footsteps to stagger a little position, followed by a layup fake, which finally tricked Swift.

The latter quickly took the ball back, then turned around and shot a hook shot. Although Swift reacted quickly and still interfered, the impact on this time was very small.

brush!hit.

Yang Zhan took the ball to the frontcourt. This time he did not attack with his back. He bent over and dribbled the ball two steps into the three-point line.

Suddenly, his body moved forward to make a breakthrough. Because of Yang Zhan's height, Ford on the opposite side took a big step back.

However, Yang Zhan just bluffed and did not step forward, and then shot directly from the middle distance, and Ford immediately made up for it.

However, Yang Zhan has Curry's shooting bag, and his shooting speed is extremely fast, so he was not disturbed at all.

brush!Hollow into the net.

The two sides come and go on the court, Yang Zhan and Bosh still feel good, but now the Raptors have become a laggard.

Because the No. [-] pick Bargnani needs the ball on the court, the division of labor between the two at the same time is very unclear.

So in the second quarter, with about 5 points left, Raptors coach Mitchell called a timeout and replaced Bosh to rest.

Grizzlies coach Nelson also took this opportunity to replace Yang Zhan with backup point guard Lu Wei.

"Hey, the bosses on both sides are off at the same time. Let's take a look at the half-time statistics of these two people." Zhang Lili said.

“杨战，12投8中，罚球4中3，拿下19分1篮板5助攻，波什，11投7中，罚球4中4，拿下18分6篮板3助攻。”搭档于佳说道。

"Back to the game, Roy and Bargnani are leading the teams on both sides of the field. It is worth mentioning that both of them are rookies this year." Zhang Lili said.

"At the same time, from the current point of view, both of them are the best-performing rookies this year. I don't know how the two will collide." Yu Jia said.

Five minutes passed quickly, and with the help of the pick-and-roll, Roy hit a three-pointer at the buzzer at a 5° angle on the left, and the first half ended.

The Grizzlies lead the Raptors by 54 points 50-4.
