Chapter 37 Grizzlies vs Rockets

After introducing the Grizzlies, the Rockets followed.

".Let us welcome ~~~~ Houston Rockets Tracy McGrady!"

".Let us welcome~~~~ The Houston Rockets are terrible!" (Yang Zhan seriously doubts that he did it on purpose)

Let's take a look at the starting lineups of the two teams today. At this time, Kenny Smith was the first to speak: "The Grizzlies' starting point guard is this year's No. 11 pick Yang Zhan from China, and the team's head star Paul Gasol."

And the Rockets' starting lineup is.

Point Guard: Ralph Alston

Shooting Guard: Derek Anderson

SF: Tracy McGrady

Power forward: Juwan Howard

Center: Yao Ming
Before the start of the match between the two sides, Yang Zhan also went to greet his seniors, but Dayao's first words made Yang Zhan dumbfounded.

"I didn't expect it to be like this when we first met."

After greeting, Yang Zhan returned to his teammates and made final adjustments.

Ding!Release system task: "NBA debut"

Task reward: make a judgment based on the performance of the host in this field.

"A good game started. The two sides jumped the ball. The Grizzlies got the first chance to attack. For Yao's jump ball, it can be said to be as stable as ever."

"Hey! By the way, I don't know what Mr. Barkley thinks of Yang. We all know that Mr. Barkley has a deep understanding of Chinese players and likes to bet. What is Mr. Barkley going to bet this time!"

Facing Kenny's teasing of Barkley, he pulled it down instantly. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly remembered a donkey, which made him wake up instantly, and said: "The great Sir Barkley will not fall twice in the same place.

Looking at Barkley, who was not good enough, Kenny set his sights on the field again.

At this time, Yang Zhan pushed the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt. According to normal tactics, Yang Zhan should hand the ball to Gasol who wants to go to the low post.

However, Yang Zhan wanted to attack this goal by himself, and he wanted to relieve the tension at this time by scoring a goal.

He took the ball to the left at a 45° angle, and Alston was defending him. The technical characteristics of this player, I don’t know how many videos I watched as early as the preseason, and it is worth drawing a conclusion from it, that is, his defense is not good.

At this moment, Yang Zhan did not dribble the ball like a normal defender, but directly used the method of back hitting.

Then, taking advantage of his height, he turned around with his back and left Alston behind in a single stride.

At this time, the 4th position on the opposite side came to defend without even thinking, while Yang Zhan turned around and passed Juwan Howard directly, and entered the inside to face the empty basket. Yang Zhan dunked with one arm.

The fans in the Commonwealth Arena cheered instantly after Yang Zhan finished the goal. At this time, the commentator directly said loudly: "Top ten goals, Yang Zhan's first attack and first goal in his career, directly locked in tonight's top ten."

Regardless of the commentator's bragging, regardless of the cheers outside the stadium, although Yang Zhan was very excited at this time, he told himself that he must keep his face blank, so he pretended to be 13.

It was the Rockets' turn to attack. When facing Alstom's attack, Yang Zhan chose to let him go. This position can be said to be just right.

At 1.88, if he chooses to shoot, Yang Zhan's long arm directly interferes, and his three-point shooting rate is just over 30%, so he has a great chance to miss the shot.

Sure enough, Alstom chose to break through with the dribble. This speed and the feel of the ball instantly passed Yang Zhan.

And Dayao, who saw that Alston was going to play singles, had already pulled Gasol to the free throw line.

Facing an empty basket, Alston made an easy layup, and before he had time to cheer, he was followed by a big cap. Although Yang Zhan's speed was not as fast as him, he had big strides.

It was the turn of the Grizzlies to attack again. This time, Yang Zhan handed the ball to Gasol at the free throw line, and he honestly landed in the bottom corner.

He knew that if he ignored tactics, Old Nelson would definitely replace him, and besides, he didn't have the ability now.

Yang Zhan, who fell to the bottom corner, was also uneasy. He first moved two steps towards the top of the arc, and then suddenly went inside. This counter-run directly bypassed Alstom.

Seeing Gasol running out of position, he hit the ground and passed the ball, and the ball was given to Yang Zhan. Last time, Gasol pulled to the mid-range position, and Yang Zhan made an empty basket.

This time Dayao resolutely gave up Gasol and came back to defend Yang Zhan, but Yang Zhan who saw Dayao didn't have any brain fever.

Taking advantage of Dayao's height, he passed the ball back to Pau Gasol, swipe!The latter is at the free throw line and hits steadily from the mid-range.

Changing sides to fight again, the opening 4:0 allowed McGrady to take the ball directly from the backcourt, and McGrady, who dribbled through halftime, did not choose singles.

Instead, a lob gave the ball to Dayao, who made two tops and then a small hook! 2 points in hand.

There's no way around it. In the next few years, Yao will definitely be one of the few people in the league who have no solution on the offensive end.

(In the later 08-09 season, Dayao's free throw percentage in the playoffs was as high as 90.2%, so you know how difficult he is to guard with his height and excellent touch)
"We saw that the two Chinese on the field have already scored." At this time, the commentator of Tianchao was explaining passionately. Isn't that what the so-called Chinese derby wants.

In the same tactics as the Grizzlies offense, Gasol went to the free throw line to organize. This time, the 4th position gave Yang Zhan an off-ball pick-and-roll.

Yang Zhan used the pick-and-roll to cut in directly, and Yang Zhan, who received a pass from Gasol, looked at McGrady who rushed in front of him.

A long pass to Battier who was empty in the bottom corner, the latter shot directly after receiving the ball, boom, the shot was missed.

But the ball fell into Yang Zhan's hands, what's going on?Angrily pick up a board?Yang Zhan then passed the ball to Battier.

Adjust Battier's three-point shot, brush!This time it was a solid hit.

With 3 minutes left in the first quarter, Nelson replaced Yang Zhan with Monta Ellis.

However, in the last 3 minutes, Ellis did not score. At the end of the first quarter, the score was 21:17. The Grizzlies temporarily led by 4 points.
