Chapter 323 No chance
Regardless of Terry's inner thoughts, Yang Zhan directly forced a breakthrough with the ball, and when he came to the inside to face Dampier who was guarding the basket.

Yang strategically slowed down slightly, then leaned against the opponent's body, turned around and shot with a low hand.

brush!Hit!

Conversely, the Mavericks attacked, and Terry gave the ball to Nowitzki on the outside after using the pick-and-roll.

Under Roy's interference, the latter was still at a 45° angle on the right and chose to force a three-pointer.

brush!Hit!

This ball Nowitzki deliberately raised the shooting arc, and he also had a height advantage against Roy, so he didn't interfere much.

As time went on, about halfway through the fourth quarter, Buckner's play did not play much role, and the Grizzlies still maintained a 87-point lead at 82 to 5.

At this time, the head coach of the Mavericks called a short timeout to the referee, and they replaced Buckner to make personnel adjustments.

At this point the opponent's lineup is, point guard: Harris, shooting guard: Terry, small forward: Howard, power forward: Nowitzki, center: Dampier.

Conversely, on the Grizzlies side, Old Nelson also made personnel adjustments, which seemed to mean that he wanted to take them away.

After the timeout, their lineup on the court is Yang Zhan, Roy, Battier, Swift, Gasol.

The Mavericks attacked, and Harris came to the frontcourt with the ball. Yang Zhan's height and wingspan had an absolute advantage, so he chose to take a step back in his defensive attitude.

But what Harris is good at is breakthroughs, so even if there is a little shooting space, he still yearns for the inside to cause damage.

It's a pity that this strength does not allow it. Two consecutive attempts to break through with speed were blocked by Yang Zhan in advance.

At this time, he gave the ball to Terry, who faced Roy's defense and chose to call Nowitzki to step forward to pick and roll.

Terry broke through quickly when he switched defenses, but Swift's speed was not slow. Although he didn't completely keep up, he was still able to maintain a distance of half a body.

No one came to make up the defense during the march. When Terry came to the inside, Gasol guarded the basket and did not follow the shot.

So Terry slowed down his own speed, and then chose to throw the shot. However, the ball just went out, and it was directly thrown away by Swift behind him.

If Terry is a shooting guard of normal height, then the distance between the two just now is not bad, but it would be very dangerous to replace him.

At this time, Gasol, who was guarding the basket, suddenly stepped forward to protect the backboard. Yang Zhan turned around and immediately stepped off when he saw this.

When he just passed halftime, he suddenly squeezed away Harris beside him, and then stretched out his long arms to easily catch the basketball flying in the air.

Then Yang Zhan broke through quickly and came to the free throw line, facing Devin Harris who came over again.

Yang Zhan did not choose to hit hard, but stopped and threw the ball into the air. At this time, Roy, who had already thrown Nowitzki away from the other side, jumped high.

Then he caught the ball with his right hand in the air, and Roy didn't like to show off, he just completed a gliding split.

In turn, the Mavericks attacked, and Harris directly gave the ball to Nowitzki. The latter faced Swift's defense, so he was better at post-up singles.

Many fans say that Nowitzki is soft, and this is not groundless, because he is indeed more afraid of the powerful type like Swift.

When Nowitzki was holding back with strength, he directly chose a large fadeaway jumper.

But Swift is also experienced. When the opponent performs a backward movement, he immediately withdraws his strength.

However, when Nowitzki completed the action and was about to shoot, Swift made another effort.

Boom!Strike the iron!

Gasol protected the backcourt rebounds, and Yang Zhan started a one-man fast break, but the opponent passed a long pass to the faster Roy.

When the latter came to the basket, relying on his size advantage, relying on Terry to choose to force a layup.

In the end, he didn't score. Fortunately, Yang Zhan, who had been following up, took off the offensive rebound, and then faced Harris' defense, he chose a low-handed shot.

brush!Hit!

The Mavericks attacked, Harris took the ball to the frontcourt to organize, and Josh Howard in the left corner directly called Nowitzki to perform an off-ball pick-and-roll.

The former cut inside the basket and the latter moved to the outside. Howard, who was on the move, moved to the right half-block position with the help of Dampier's pick-and-roll.

Harris passed the ball through, and the latter chose to shoot in the half-block position in a short open opportunity.

brush!Hit!

Yang Zhan came to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Harris' defense, he did not choose to play hard. Instead, he lobbed the ball to Gasol, who was high on the right.

The latter was just about to use his speed to make a breakthrough, but when he saw Roy cutting in, he immediately passed the ball over.

When the opponent was approaching the basket, Howard went to make up the defense, and Yang Zhan also cut in at the top of the arc to respond.

There are a bunch of people standing under the basket now, and Roy is not sure of a successful finish, so he gives the ball to Yang Zhan.

At this time, Yang Zhan did not make a strong shot, but transferred the ball again to Battier, who was open in the left corner.

The latter quickly chose a three-point shot before the supplementary defense came.

brush!Hit!

With the passage of time, the game has gone on to the last 3 minutes or so, and the Mavericks still haven't recovered the trailing score.

At this time, the head coach of the Mavericks made personnel adjustments, and they deployed the most offensive lineup of the team.

Point guard: Harris, shooting guard: Terry, small forward: Stackhouse, power forward: Josh Howard, center: Dirk Nowitzki.

The Grizzlies are still the same, Yang Zhan, Roy, Battier, Swift, Gasol.

In the duel between the lineups of the two sides, the Mavericks are still better. In fact, the Grizzlies have the most obvious advantage in the position of power forward.

But Swift doesn't play post-ups, so that advantage is minimal.

Seeing that the score was a little bit, old Nelson also made adjustments when he saw the tricks. The lineup he sent this time was .

Point guard: Yang Zhan, shooting guard: Roy, small forward: Posey, power forward: Battier, center: Gasol.

This time the position was right, the Grizzlies once again mastered the rhythm of the field, and the score slowly opened again.

After that, the Mavericks switched back to the team's starting lineup, but the effect was not very good, even at this critical moment.

Dirk Nowitzki singled out Shane Battier, there was a very low efficiency, in turn Gasol hit Dampier again and again succeeded.

The game starts here, and the Mavericks have no chance.

As Yang Zhan came to the frontcourt with the ball and passed the last 11 seconds on the timer, the referee whistled and the game ended.

In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the Dallas Mavericks 99 to 94 on the road.
