Chapter 294

As if seeing what was going on in Yang Zhan's mind, Nelson smiled calmly and said, "As for me, I have learned the lessons from the past, and some experiences have made me less tough. Looking back on the time when I was with Weber in the past, it's really a pity."

Yang Zhan didn't open his mouth, and continued to listen to old Nelson's past, most of them were talking about his negative news, but his tone was unusually relaxed, presumably he had let go of them.

After nearly half an hour, maybe because he felt that he had said too much, after Nelson apologized, he left the time for Yang Zhan himself.

In the afternoon, some simple run-in training was carried out, and then the team, led by the coaching staff, boarded the flight to Boston.

When arriving at the destination, it is said that this is equivalent to the northeast of China, and this big city has to go out for a walk.

When Yang Zhan and his teammates returned to the hotel, they found that Boston was just like that. It was nothing more than better architecture, more beautiful scenery, and more entertainment. What else is there for this so-called wealthy family?

I'm not envious, I'm not jealous, I love Memphis, eh!That's it!
At 9:20 am the next day, after the interview and the final shooting warm-up, the game between the two sides officially started at the North Shore Garden Arena.

Nelson sent a regular starting lineup, Yang Zhan, Roy, Battier, Gasol, Chandler.

The Celtics lineup is, point guard: Delonte - West, shooting guard: Ryan - Gomez, small forward: Pierce, power forward: Al Jefferson, center: Kendrick - Perkins.

The opponent's current record is 11 wins and 22 losses, ranking first from the bottom of the rankings. It's just that Szczerbiak was injured, which would not be the case under normal circumstances.

Then there is only one truth, the Celtics want to compete for this year's No. [-] pick, even if they are not the No. [-] pick, they must be a top three draft pick.

Chandler came to the midfield and easily succeeded in jumping the ball. Perkins' body fat, bullet speed and explosiveness basically have nothing to do with it. After all, not everyone is O'Neal.

Yang Zhan quickly pushed forward after receiving the ball. Facing West's defense, he did not choose singles. Instead, after everyone settled down, he lobbed the ball to Gasol, who wanted the ball at a high position of 45° on the right.

Nelson's tactic is to keep him in his current state. When facing Jefferson's defense, the latter decisively chose to attack the basket head-on.

A tentative step to the left to make a false move, followed by a quick breakthrough to the right, Jefferson moved very slowly.

So even if it wasn't completely passed, it still allowed them to take the lead, nearly a body distance away.

When Gasol came to the free throw line, Perkins was still guarding the basket and couldn't come out. Seeing this situation, he chose to stop and catch a small throw.

brush!Hit!

This is equivalent to an open opportunity. With Gasol's excellent touch, the ball is naturally steady.

In turn, the Celtics attacked, West held the ball across half court, and then directly gave the ball to Pierce, who wanted the ball from the high post on the left.

The latter's style of play is not the same as that of Gasol. Facing Battier's defense, he directly starts the back-up mode.

The strength of the opponent is at the small forward position, which can definitely rank among the top five in the league, so Battier's various defensive skills are useless, because Pierce has the essence of one force and ten games.

When he mastered the rhythm with his back, he suddenly straightened his body, and then stepped back and shot a jumper.

brush!Hit!

When Yang Zhan received the pass, he immediately accelerated the fast break and counterattack, because fans who knew a little could see it.

Except for the third-year point guard Delonte West, the movement speed of others is not as fast as that of the Grizzlies players, which is the biggest weakness of the opponent's lineup.

When Yang Zhan just passed halftime, he gave the ball directly, and Roy, who "sprinted" ahead of Gomez, was in the hands.

The latter has broken through to the paint area after catching the ball, and the opponent's two big men have not yet returned. At this time, Roy easily scored a three-step layup.

Parkinson, a first-round pick who entered the league in 03, although he is 2 meters tall and playing a center must be considered short, but it still can't change the fact that he moves slowly.

The Celtics are attacking, and West, who is in possession of the ball, must have to press the rhythm, because the opponent can only play positions, and they can only play positions.

When all the opponents were in position, West gave the ball to Jefferson who asked for the ball in the low post on the left.

The latter, as a player who entered the league with the 04th overall pick in 15, can already get an average of 17+10 double-doubles per game.

It can be said that the third grade has such a result, which is already very talented. The latter catches the ball and uses post-up singles.

Pushing away Gasol behind him, he forced a layup.

brush!Hit!

His technical style of play is actually very similar to that of Zach Randolph in the league, and they are all fat guys with excellent hands.

But the former's physique is much larger than Randolph's, so he is stronger in confrontation, but the same disadvantage is also more obvious.

When the Grizzlies were attacking, Gasol was the first to arrive before Jefferson, and with full acceleration, he was able to lead the opponent by nearly two positions.

Yang Zhan gave the ball to the opponent, and the latter rushed into the basket, and no one dared to step forward to block it, including Pierce.

Although his strength is good, all fans know that Pierce is a floor runner, which means that he can't jump up and cover Gasol.

In the past, a foul was also called, and Gasol's free throw was not Howard. This kind of thankless thing is not necessary at all.

Conversely, when the Celtics attacked, West asked Jefferson to come out and play pick-and-rolls. The latter was actually reluctant because he was not a basket type, so he preferred post-up singles.

Although the pick-and-roll effect was not very good, the switch was successful, but Gasol did not follow.

West's mid-range is not stable, which is why Gasol dared to let go, but he still chose to shoot directly for this open opportunity.

Boom!Strike the iron!

The Grizzlies attacked, and Yang Zhan advanced quickly with the ball. When he came to the frontcourt, he gave the ball to Roy who cut inside.

In fact, among all the matchups on the field, his speed is the most advantageous. Ryan Gomez, who entered the league in the same class as Yang Zhan in 05, was a second-round pick in the league.

That is to say, on the offensive end, it can give some three-point firepower. As for the defense, I don’t know what will happen in the future. Anyway, it is now a colander.

No one came to double-team Roy while he was on the move, not to mention that the Grizzlies were quite accurate outside, and the opponent didn't have that lateral movement speed.

So Roy broke through to the inside penalty area easily, and then quickly flew to the basket before Parkinson came over.

brush!Hit!

Parkinson's technical characteristics are also defensive, but he is now strong in back defense.

As for defense, we haven't expanded this business yet.
