Chapter 289 Varrick's Progress

At this time, when Yang Zhan came to the basket, he did not defend against Brand, but passed back to Warrick who followed behind.

The impact of the latter is obviously much stronger than that of Yang Zhan, so although the forced layup was not scored, it caused Elton Brand's pulling foul.

Warrick walked on the free throw line, clapped hands with those around him, took a deep breath after getting the ball, and made two shots.

In turn, the Clippers attacked, and Hart advanced the ball to the frontcourt, and then gave the ball to Brand in the low post on the left.

"Hey, just now Quinton Rose had a chance to cut inside without the ball, and he passed it and went straight to the layup." The commentator Zhang Reasonable said.

"Yeah, Dunleavy sent this lineup, he must want to move the ball, but the Clippers' current style of play is not much different from the first quarter." The commentator Yu Jia said.

After receiving the ball, Brand turned on the post-up mode. Regardless of his short height, Warrick's running speed without the ball can keep up with him because of the opponent's weight.

This affects his movement speed to a certain extent, and of course his confrontation ability has also been greatly increased.

Brand slammed twice in a row with force from behind, and then the opponent made a half-turn to dribble, and the explosive speed was very fast and he passed Warrick in an instant.

At this time, Brand took a step forward, just in time to come to the basket by himself, and then carried Swift to force a layup.

brush!Hit!

Because he was afraid of being fouled again, Swift's level of interference was obviously not as good as his last round.

The Grizzlies attacked, and Yang Zhan quickly took the ball to the frontcourt. Although the opponent's overall retreat was fast, Swift's movement speed was obviously better than Thomas'.

So when Yang Zhan faced Hart's defense, he broke through to the free throw line forcibly, and then passed the ball to Swift who cut inside.

The latter was half a body ahead of Thomas when he received the ball. He came to the back of the penalty area to face the unmarked basket, and jumped up to complete a one-handed tomahawk-style slam dunk.

Every time when he jumped up, Yang Zhan felt a faint sadness, jealousy made me, I, Yang, never jealous of others.

Hmm. That's it.

The Clippers attacked, and Hart took the ball to the frontcourt. This player has not yet realized his problem on the court.

He felt that Brand had scored the previous two goals, which strengthened his confidence in giving the ball to the boss.

However, this time his pass was directly blocked by Yang Zhan. After all, his lob was too imprecise.

Although Yang Zhan's bounce is a matchbox, how can he say that his height and wingspan are also placed here.

Therefore, point guards who are not very good at passing the ball will basically choose to hit the ground and pass the ball if they want to be stable on the court. The same is true for Hart before. I don't know what he thinks this time.

Yang Zhan stretched out his right hand in the air and grabbed the ball directly. After landing, he immediately launched a one-man fast break. When he came all the way to the frontcourt, there was only Hart behind him.

Seeing this, Yang Zhan was no longer worried. After all, it was impossible for Hart to give him a big hat, and even if the opponent reached out, he would probably be beaten into a 2+1.

Then Yang Zhan, who broke through to the basket, directly stretched out his long arms and used the low hand to pick the basket. Unfortunately, Hart behind him was not so stunned, and he restrained himself when he wanted to pull people.

brush!Hit!

As time went on, the second quarter lasted more than 3 minutes, and the Grizzlies had further opened up the score.

Because the Yang Zhan organization is playing a team, but the Clippers are different, especially in the eyes of Hart who only has the star Brand in his eyes, and everyone else basically runs with him.

The Grizzlies attacked, and Yang Zhan took the ball to the frontcourt, forced a breakthrough through Hart to the basket, and faced Thomas' supplementary defense.

After turning around, the ball was given to Swift, who was open in the left corner, and the latter made a direct shot at the half interception position.

brush!Hit!

At this time, the head coach of the Clippers, Dunleavy called a short timeout to the referee.

After returning from the timeout, Nelson didn't make any adjustments, and it was still the same lineup as before.

Point guard: Yang Zhan, shooting guard: Jones, small forward: Posey, power forward: Warrick, center: Swift.

The adjusted lineup of the Clippers is, point guard: Jason Hart, shooting guard: Corey Maggette, small forward: Livingston, power forward: Elton Brand, center: Tim Thomas.

They replaced the current No. 99 scorer in the team, Maggette, who entered the league in the [-] lottery pick.

The Clippers attacked, and Hart took the ball to the frontcourt. This time he didn't give it directly to Brand. Obviously Dunleavy must have said something to him.

Standing at the top of the arc for a few seconds, the chance is not gone, but the ball was not given out, which made Dunleavy on the sidelines angry.

If he didn't give it to Brand, he wouldn't pass. Fortunately, Livingston, who was in the right corner, came out and ran to Hart. Only then did he pass the ball hand-in-hand and successfully resolve the embarrassing situation.

After receiving the ball, Livingston was at a 45° position on the left, and tried to break through twice without success. His other abilities are not like this.

But who makes the best defensive position of the Grizzlies is the small forward point, but Livingston's vision and ability to seize opportunities are much better than Hart.

When Maggette relied on his personal ability to cut in without the ball to get rid of Jones, Livingston directly gave the ball to the opponent.

The latter came to the inside to face Swift's defense. Relying on the impact of the rapid breakthrough all the way, he jumped up and flew to the basket to force the score.

After all, the opponent is also a player with an average of 16+ per game, and Maggette basically doesn't shoot, so these points basically come from the inside, so his ability to finish at the basket is very strong.

Conversely, the Grizzlies attacked, and Yang Zhan held the ball for half court. Jones didn't have to think about it. His athletic ability can't get rid of Maggette.

Seeing that there was no chance in the pick-and-roll, Yang Zhan faced Hart's defense, dribbled the ball into the three-point line, and directly turned on the post-up mode.

Immediately afterwards, he continued to exert force. When Yang Zhan found an opportunity, he turned around and passed the opponent directly, and when Brand came to defend.

Yang Zhan glanced at Warrick who was emptied, and instantly threw the ball into the air, and the latter jumped up to catch the ball with both hands and dunked flat.

The fans at the scene cheered enthusiastically, and Nelson, who was sitting on the bench beside the court, nodded his head when he saw the situation.

He didn't expect that Gasol's return would indirectly make Warrick stronger. For the Grizzlies, this was really a surprise.

The Clippers attacked. When Hart came to the frontcourt, he immediately gave the ball to Maggette. After all, he couldn't get the ball again after waiting for a while.

The latter faced Jones' defense and forced a breakthrough than Yang Zhan playing Hart. After all, his physical fitness is not at the same level. When he came to the inside, he turned around and scored a layup.
