Chapter 247
At around 8 o'clock in the morning, Yang Zhan waited for his teammates to arrive, and then followed them on the flight to Philadelphia.

After resting for two days, they seemed to be in good condition, and they kept talking all the way. The most talked about here was naturally the matter of the Christmas war.

Take a good rest at the hotel. At 4:20 pm that day, the Grizzlies headed to the Wells Fargo Center Arena under the leadership of Nelson.

In fact, there is not much focus on this game, but at any rate, it is also the first game between the two sides after Christmas, so there are still many media reporters.

At the end of the interview, the two teams began to warm up for shooting. At this time, the referee's whistle sounded, and the game officially began.

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

The starting lineup sent by the Philadelphia team is, point guard: Andre Miller, shooting guard: Iguodala, small forward: Rodney Carney, power forward: Chris Webber, center: Dalembert.

Chandler made a jump ball in midfield, and the Grizzlies got the first chance to attack.

Yang Zhan came to the frontcourt with the ball, faced Miller's defense, and directly called Warrick to come out for a pick-and-roll.

After switching defenses against Chris Webber, it was easier to play this time, because the opponent is not only getting older, but also the recurrence of old injuries has caused his strength to decline like a cliff.

From the average of 20+10 per game last season to the current average of 11 points per game, this is the case on the offensive end, let alone the defensive end.

Yang Zhan kept dribbling the ball on the outside, and Weber's position was always consistent.

At this time, Yang Zhan entered the three-point line, followed the space of the distance, and directly chose the middle distance to pull out after dribbling.

brush!hit.

The Philadelphia team is attacking, and now Webber is no longer asking for the ball in the low post, but runs to Rodney Carney to do an off-ball pick-and-roll.

This player is also a first-round pick this year, and his current style of play is equivalent to a pitcher-type small forward.

However, his running position is still very immature, and his movement speed is not fast. Except for the pick-and-roll relying on his personal ability, he basically has no chance.

At this time, Miller, who was organized at the top of the arc, gave the ball to Carney who came out of the pocket. The latter only had a short open time, but still chose to shoot a three-pointer after receiving the ball.

Boom!strike iron.

In turn, the Grizzlies attacked, and Yang Zhan also played an outside tactic.

Relying on his personal ability, Battier started to move from the bottom corner to a Z-shaped running position, and came out to get a big open opportunity.

Yang Zhan immediately passed the ball to the past. After catching the ball, the latter glanced at the basket, and immediately shot a three-pointer.

brush!hit.

"Hey! Audience friends, this ball can clearly see the strength gap between the two small forwards." The commentator Zhang Reasonable said.

The Philadelphia team attacked, Miller took the ball to the frontcourt, and then gave the ball to Iguodala at a 45° angle on the left.

Facing Roy's defense, the latter directly chose to force a breakthrough. Physically, Iguodala has an absolute advantage.

During the march, Iguodala took the initiative to find a physical confrontation, and Roy was basically out of position when he was hit.

After passing Roy, he rushed all the way to the basket, then faced Chandler under the basket, and carried the opponent to force a layup.

Iguodala, who averaged 12 points per game before, has averaged about 20 points per game in recent games.

The Grizzlies attacked, and Yang Zhan called Warrick to come out for a pick-and-roll. This time, Chris Webber, who was on the opposite side, did not choose to step forward and stayed where he was.

At this time, Yang Zhan entered the three-point line and had a wide open opportunity, so he directly chose the mid-range shot.

brush!hit.

Miller took the ball to the frontcourt, took advantage of his speed, and made a breakthrough after dribbling, directly leading Yang Zhan by half a body.

However, when entering the basket, Miller did not choose to force a layup, but distributed the ball to Dalembert.

The center who entered the league in 01 and has been playing for the Philadelphia team is similar to Chandler in terms of technical characteristics.

Defense is what they eat, and their offensive means are limited to eating cakes. Dalembert's forced layup finally ended in iron.

Yang Zhan protected the backcourt rebounds, and then directly pushed the fast break to counterattack

The opponent's Andre Miller and Iguodala retreated in time, but the others couldn't do it.

Yang Zhan first gave the ball to Battier, but Battier didn't stand properly, so he passed the ball back.

At this time, Yang Zhan made another ground pass and passed it to Warrick who entered the field. The latter went all the way to the basket and succeeded in a one-armed dunk.

Time passed little by little, and after Yang Zhan's hard work, the rhythm on the court was finally brought up, and the one who benefited the most was Hanhan Warrick.

Because as long as the fast break runs, Weber's speed can't keep up at all, and at the same time, he doesn't play much role on the offensive end.

So in the first quarter, two minutes or so later, with Warrick dunking again, the Philadelphia head coach called a timeout and replaced Webb with Joe Smith.

This player entered the league as the No. 95 pick in [-], but he can be regarded as the type of driving high and low.

His performance with the Warriors in the first three seasons is definitely worthy of the No. [-] pick, and he has become a hot superstar in the league.

But it was precisely because of this fame that Smith drifted away when he renewed his contract.

His agent and the management said at the beginning that no matter what, he would join the free market after the season to test his own worth.

It is precisely because of this decision that he completely reversed his career. Simply put, it is not as good as the day after leaving the Warriors.

After a timeout, the two sides started fighting again. Joe Smith's appearance did not play a decisive role.

Yang Zhan should fast break or fast break, and Warrick should dunk or dunk.

With Iguodala in the bottom corner, the buzzer hit a three-pointer, the referee's whistle sounded, and the first quarter of the game ended.

The Grizzlies lead Philadelphia by 31 points 20-11.

The intermission ended and the second quarter began. The lineup Nelson sent was Yang Zhan, Jones, Posey, Swift, and Chandler.

The lineup sent by the Philadelphia team is, point guard: Miller, shooting guard: Korver, small forward: Iguodala, power forward: Webber, center: Dalembert.

The Grizzlies attacked first, Yang Zhan organized at the top of the arc, Swift came up to play a pick-and-roll for Posey, and Webb gave up after two symbolic chases when switching defenses.

At this time, Posey came out, received the ball at a 60° angle on the right, and made a three-point shot with a wide open opportunity.

brush!hit.

Conversely, the Philadelphia team attacked, and Iguodala broke through with the ball and passed it to Korver on the outside. The latter caught the ball and made a three-pointer directly.

Korver, a player, is not very shrewd in running positions. With a height of 2 meters, his moving speed is definitely slow in the league.

But the problem is that people are accurate!
