Chapter 327: Catch Up! (Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription, 3/3)
D'Antoni, who had just been talking and laughing with his players at half-time, felt a little bad at this time.
It stands to reason that you will encounter such a team. Even if the Lakers play against them, they are confident of winning by stretching the difference to more than 10 points!
But when he saw that the score difference was chased to 15 points, he still felt a little uneasy!
The Grizzlies seem to be the team you can't relax on the whole game, and you need to maintain a decent offensive efficiency! Or is there a player like Zhou Yang and Miller on the opposing team?
Since the SuperSonics' Ray Allen left to join the Celtics, the league's argument that teams with great three-point shooting have a high winning percentage is still not very reliable. Want to rely on three-pointers to win game after game?
Maybe the regular season is okay, but the playoffs aren't so easy. Or you played well this time and used a three-point shot to throw the opponent directly into garbage time. But can you guarantee that it will always be so accurate?
Ray Allen went to the Celtics, and some experts analyzed that their big three were a strong combination. And Jun Zilei's three-point shot only played the icing on the cake.
But the question now is, can the Grizzlies really beat them? Or even use three-pointers to close the distance quickly?
Nash's sudden start was expected! But when he was about to approach Zhou Yang, the sudden change of direction caught people off guard! The Suns stuck the Grizzlies players under the basket! Nash hit a 2-point pull-up jump shot after keeping a certain distance from Zhou Yang!
According to Nash's thinking, the Grizzlies are in good shape right now. But as long as his team can keep scoring, it will definitely be impossible to be overtaken by the opponent in this quarter, at least in this quarter.
The score difference is not afraid of the other party getting closer! I'm afraid it would be embarrassing to let the Grizzlies get too close. It's best to be able to keep the difference around 20 points. Then they will basically win with the Suns.
On Phoenix's side, when the players were a little panicked, they were very calm. He also knows that Memphis is becoming less easy to mess with this season. The previous Grizzlies were strong defensively, but they also divided who to play against......
Encountering the average team and the big Gasol of the year, Battier was really under pressure to play with the Grizzlies. Because the opponent's defense is too active, the effect is also good. But if you run into the Dallas Mavericks, the Detroit Pistons, and the Spurs and their Suns, it's a different story.
At that time, as long as the Grizzlies were good on the defensive end and the offense was okay, they basically won. But when it comes to the Spurs, there's basically nothing a team like the Mavericks can do. Because Spurs are good at breaking defenses! And the Mavericks can also create a lot of lethality on long-range shots!
Conley saw Bell rushing over and immediately passed the ball to Miller, who scored on a jumper! Burreth was shocked, he just covered his face, okay?! Oh, the pinnacle Miller understands it~
Jafaroni was a little worried. Because although Miller has great ability, his fitness is a problem. His defensive ability got a little better during the regular season. But then the physical strength is also scattered a lot by the defense.
In the past, Miller couldn't prevent the other party from letting him pass directly...... And now you have to deal with the opposing players a little bit. Nash's heart sank directly after seeing Linton's near-gambling defense directly covered by Mime's almost gambling defense in the process of layup!
After Zhou Yang got the ball, a long pass was made to Conley, and the Grizzlies scored another three points! 71:60! The difference of 24 points at the beginning of the third quarter is now only 11 points! D'Antoni didn't see it well and immediately called a timeout.
......
The fans who thought there was no suspense in this game were in good spirits at this time. They have to face the Grizzlies' frantic counterattack and the Suns' desperate defense......
"The core of the opponent is basically on the field now. And the Grizzlies are about the same as us now. The fitness of the players on their side is declining very quickly. If Miller continues to be on the court, it is estimated that his shooting accuracy will not be so high. If you want to win, take it seriously......"
D'Antoni didn't have a good face at this time. 89:77! Although it is now widely believed in the media that a team that relies on three points will not last long. But I can't stop the Grizzlies from doing it today.
Left three points and three points, just chased the difference from 24 points in one quarter of the game to 12 points! A 12-point margin can be a big or small problem for the Suns. If it is smaller, maybe the opponent is not so strong, they can still win this game relatively smoothly.
But what if it's too big? 12 points is not a lot.
"Guy and Conley came to organise the game. Zhou Yang's words should attack more. The defense still needs to be taken seriously. The opponent's attack today is not so strong in the late stages. In other words, we still have a show......"
Originally, the Grizzlies players wanted to give up at the end of the second quarter. But the third quarter was like this, and the fire in everyone's hearts still burned.
The lineup on the Suns' side who came back in the fourth quarter was Stoudemire, Skiner, Grant, Nash and Balbosa. Although Nash and Stoudemire went down for a few minutes in the third quarter, their physical fitness was noticeably different from the first quarter.
Now the Suns need other players to score more. Barbosa's game in the third quarter was mainly offensive, and in this quarter D'Antoni asked him to organize the game. Nash went to be a shooting guard.
The more the game got to the end, the more uncertain D'Antoni's heart became. It's really shameless to lose this game. The final games of the regular season are approaching, and the Grizzlies have already been sent to garbage time......
But the other party doesn't give up...... The lineup on the Grizzlies' side is Mark, Zhou Yang, Guy, Conley, and Navarro! Mime had already committed 5 fouls, and Miller played until the end of the third quarter, and when he came back, Jafaroni saw that Miller's fitness was close to being overdrawn!
It's very quiet on the Suns' side right now. There's no time for the casual talk of the first half. After a while, if they don't fight well, they will become a joke...... It turns out that the top three Suns in the West are at this level?
Guy though sat on the bench for a long time today. But I'm still very confident about the last game. And he's more careful, too. Attack yourself when the warm-up is almost over!
When Pau Gasol was still on the team, because some of the main players, including Gasol Da, were injured, it was the young Guy and the Grizzlies bench players who won the better half of the season!
Guy's fame grew during that season! And this season, when the team was reorganized, and he and Miller didn't pay attention to becoming the team's "veteran" figures, he found that Zhou Yang was quite like himself back then!
Whether the team is sluggish or can't open the situation, Zhou Yang either fights with the other party by himself or by organizing the team!
The camera has been on D'Antoni and his former assistant coach Jafaroni no less than 10 times tonight! The two former colleagues are now on opposite sides. And some fans already feel that the Grizzlies are now slightly better than the Suns in terms of momentum!
Guy took the basketball and slowly made his way to the frontcourt. The Suns became cautious when they saw Guy. It's because this player is very difficult to mess with. It's really going to give you a violent buckle when you make him anxious!
In the Grizzlies, other teams now have a certain impression of Guy and Zhou Yang. Guy is one of those strikers who is very focused on attacking in the game. And Zhou Yang's speed and reaction are better than Guy's!
It didn't take long for Zhou Yang to take over Guy's pass, and when his teammates thought Zhou Yang was going to shoot, Mark directly saw the basketball flying towards his face!
"What the hell are you ......" was so sudden...... Although Gasol Jr. instinctively reached out to catch the basketball, because Zhou Yang was stronger, the ball still hit Mark's nose......
With a sour chill, Mark faced Stoudemire and threw the ball out with his eyes closed...... Fortunately, in the process, the referee saw that Stoudemire had committed a foul and blew the whistle in time.
"How is it~ Is there any surprise~" Zhou Yang patted Mark's arm a little proudly, but found that little Gasol was still rubbing his nose there. After realizing it, Zhou Yang immediately ran away very naturally.
As a result, the players on the Suns' side watched in great wonder as Mark sniffed and dribbled there for a long time before throwing the ball. 1 of 2 free throws!
"Beautiful!" When Zhou Yang watched the ball pop up, he jumped high and deducted points directly!! 89:80! There are still 9 points left in the difference!
Balbosa threw a three-pointer straight into the front court! D'Antoni was watching the game with his hands on his hips, and Barbosa seemed to have forgotten what he had to do.
Nash is now struggling in fitness and energy. If he organizes the game, the effect will inevitably suffer. And let his teammates organize the game, if there is an opportunity, Nash's shooting accuracy is still relatively high!
But now the team is at risk in the game. The Brazilian Lightning is naturally very powerful when it is in good shape. But it's hard to say how accurate he is.
Zhou Yang dribbled the ball across the half court, and after wrestling with Nash and Grant for a while, he suddenly used Guy's body to pass the two of them directly into the basket and suddenly made a passing action! Stoudemire and Mark instinctively blocked it with their hands......
It's so close, but it takes so much force...... Zhou Yang was satisfied with the reaction of the two, and directly picked the basketball into the basket~92:82!
"Balbosa! You slow down! "D'Antoni was a little anxious when he saw that his team was about to play a counterattack! But he felt that something had not been said.
The Brazilian Lightning was really slow to dribble on their own. He forced a layup in front of Mark, Guy and Zhou Yang and was directly credited by Guy to the blood cap!! Young Balbosa almost didn't kneel in front of the trio......
At this time, he was so unhappy in his heart! Who made themselves slow just now?! Looking back at D'Antoni, Barbosa immediately calmed down.
Guy stepped forward to get the basketball and passed the half, Conley took the basketball next to him and hit a three-point jumper! After so many regular season games, he knows Conley's shooting ability. When communicating with Zhou Yang, he also learned that Conley has been practicing offense and shooting.
When Zhou Yang hit a three-pointer, D'Antoni asked for the last timeout of the game. The fans at the scene exclaimed again after seeing the three-point shot that Zhou Yang had just hit!
The Grizzlies are about to overtake each other! Still 4 points short! It will be interesting if these two teams meet in the playoffs~
"The other party is now Guy and Zhou Yang, and they are a huge threat to us! Bell: You organize the game in a moment. The offense was handed over to Nash and Stoudemire...... "D'Antoni didn't say a word and directly replaced Barbosa.
In fact, Barbosa also wants to stabilize the team's mentality through his quick breakout. It's just that he didn't score as much as he wanted. And his behavior is also inconsistent with what the coach said.
"It doesn't take much tactics anymore. It was still Guy who organized the game, and Conley. Zhou Yang can get involved. As long as you can keep scoring. If you can't open the game, go back to Guy organizing the game right away. Conley can also be turned into an offensive player. We didn't think much of it until this time. Just go on the offensive as you normally would. It's nothing to lose."
Jafaroni had just figured out how to say this to his players.
The mentality of the two teams has changed since they came back. The players on this end of the Grizzlies have become more relaxed. And the players on Phoenix's side are more nervous.
Bale dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, his intentions were too obvious, and in the process of passing the ball to Nash, he was directly cut off by Gay!
Stoudemire rushed straight out as if he had stepped on a spring! Zhou Yang took Guy's ball and directly deducted points to get points!! D'Antoni was so angry that his hands began to shake.
The tasks that have been arranged are not good for their own players? Forget about it in normal times......
Nash took the initiative to ask for the ball and went straight past the opponent after maneuvering with Conley! Facing Guy and Navarro's bag, he immediately passed the ball to Stoudemire! The latter allowed Mark to score 2+1 after receiving a foul!
I know that now the team can't open. Nash took the initiative to stand up and fight the Grizzlies! He also has a message for his teammates. He will continue to organize the next races!
In this case, it depends on whether the teammates give it or not.
Zhou Yang took Guy's pass and played opposite Grant in the front court, and before the opponent could react, Zhou Yang directly jumped and hit a three-point shot! The Grizzlies bench blew up again!
The difference is 2 points away again!
The Grizzlies players on the floor were also excited! Basketball this time to the Skeyer who had a vacancy. took the basketball and shot a three-way straight shot...... After Zhou Yang took the basketball under the basket, he kept making a long pass, and the basketball came directly to Guy!
Regardless of the frantic catch-up on the Suns' side. Gay didn't dribble a few times after halftime and hit a three-point jumper!! 96:95!
D'Antoni's hand fell from the air. Shaking his head, he walked to the bench. The Suns, who played so crazy in the first half, are still overtaken by the Grizzlies!
Jafaroni had been quietly watching the game. Because the game is not yet at the last minute. No one knows if the Grizzlies will be able to win! The hearts of the fans at the scene also hung in the air!
