Chapter 313 Invitation

So the best player in the game was naturally given to Gasol. The latter played 42 minutes, made 20 of 12 shots, 10 of 9 free throws, scored 33 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

After the game with the Knicks, that night, the league officials sent a new message, the content is the All-Star voting.

This is naturally a big deal, no player doesn't want to charge up, even if there is only a slight chance.

Not to mention that this is an honor, but realistically speaking, this is also an increase in social value. When the contract is renewed and signed, the contract must be raised from his original basis.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon the next day, the Grizzlies, under the leadership of Nelson, boarded a flight to Texas to challenge their smaller opponent, the Mavericks.

When Yang Zhan arrived at the hotel, there was an official message on his phone.

To put it simply, it is to invite him to participate in this year's three-point contest and this year's Rookie Challenge. Of course, he must be a sophomore.

Originally, Yang Zhan didn't want to participate, especially the latter, because he would definitely be an All-Star, and he was absolutely confident.

If many fans questioned Yang Zhan's All-Star selection when he was a rookie, then the comments this time will be much lower.

因为杨战截止到目前为止，场均可以拿到，18.8分10.1助攻2.8篮板0.8抢断1.2盖帽。

This statistic was enough to directly compete for the MVP of the regular season last season.

So with Yang Zhan's current strength, it doesn't make much sense to go to the first grade again.

Moreover, among the players who entered the league in 06, currently the strongest player is Roy, who is still his teammate. The two basically play heads-up every day.

But Yang Zhan still chose to agree, because according to the urine nature of the system, various tasks will inevitably be released on the spot.

When Yang Zhan saw the invitation to the slam dunk contest, he gave a polite yet awkward smile, and then said the phrase in his mind that he was a mother.

I always feel that people who send me messages must be full of malice in their hearts.

Guess Xiao Hua blindly, what a joke.

On January 1th, at 12:9 am, the match between the two sides officially started at the American Airlines Center, and players from both sides appeared on the field one after another.

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

The lineup that the Mavericks sent is, point guard: Devon Harris, shooting guard: Jason Terry, small forward: Josh Howard, power forward: Nowitzki, center: Eric Dampier.

Chandler came to the midfield and succeeded in jumping the ball. The Grizzlies got the first chance to attack, and Yang Zhan advanced to the frontcourt with the ball.

He used cheats before, but he ravaged Harris very badly, and once hit the opponent to doubt his life.

Facing Harris' defense this time, he didn't choose to play singles. It's not that he can't play, but that there are obviously better opportunities in the lineup.

So Yang Zhan gave the ball to Roy, and the opponent caught the ball at 45° on the left and singled Jason Terry who was facing him.

Roy bent over and dribbled into the three-point line, and then he relied on his physical advantage and directly chose to hit Terry behind him.

The opponent does have a skill in offense, but the defense is definitely a colander, and when Roy used his strength to push the opponent away, he did not choose to turn around halfway.

Because at the beginning he wanted to try to feel good, so he chose to shoot a fadeaway jumper, and Terry could give very little interference.

Boom!Strike the iron!Might as well not try!
Conversely, the Mavericks attacked, and Harris held the ball across the half court. The opponent's routine was very simple, first look for Nowitzki.

In fact, when Nowitzki is mentioned, most people will think of the word "soft guy", but it is all because of media propaganda.

The most direct point is that he is not an American, so this statement appears. In fact, Nowitzki himself is not soft.

At the very least, he is also a player who averages close to two blocks and two offensive rebounds per game.

At the same time, in one-on-one defense, because the old Nelson's routine has not been used, it is really rare to see the driver being beaten by anyone.

Facing Gasol's defense, the latter chose to attack the basket with the ball head-on, and then Nowitzki used a tentative step to find breakthrough opportunities.

Suddenly the opponent started to move to the right, but it was only a half-step breakthrough. The latter leaned against Gasol lightly, and then retreated back slightly to shoot a jumper.

brush!Hit!

The old driver is still stable enough, and the feel comes quickly.

The Grizzlies attacked, and Yang Zhan passed the ball to Roy through his lineup judgment, because his advantage was indeed the most obvious.

The latter singled out Terry in the same position. Although the offensive method was different this time, the opponent still chose to finish with a shot.

brush!Hit!

The Mavericks attacked, and Harris came to the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Yang Zhan's defense, he did not choose singles, because compared to others.

Dampier is not as good as him in the starting lineup, so under normal circumstances, the head coach does not allow Harris to come by himself.

When all his teammates were in the frontcourt, Harris called Nowitzki to come out for a pick-and-roll, and the latter went directly outside the three-point line when he switched defenses.

Harris took a symbolic breakthrough step, followed by a quick pass behind the back, and it was given to Nowitzki at a 60° angle on the right.

Facing Yang Zhan's defense, the latter relied on his own size advantage and the top of his shooting arc, so he directly pulled out from outside the three-point line.

Boom!Strike the iron!

Chandler protected the backcourt rebounds, and Yang Zhan quickly advanced when receiving the ball. Just after halftime, he gave the ball to the fastest Roy.

In fact, Terry is about the same distance as him, but he still has the advantage of size. It's just that the callback came back, and Roy just caught it when he came out with his hand.

When the latter broke through to the free throw line, there was no one guarding the basket at all, and no one else was as fast as him, let alone Nowitzki and Dampier.

Because there were always people around him interfering, Roy did not choose to forcefully take off, but quickly made a master layup.

brush!Hit!

Conversely, when the Mavericks attacked, Harris advanced at a normal speed, because although their lineup is also suitable for raising the rhythm to play, the opponent is best at pick-and-roll shooting.

When Harris came to the frontcourt, Howard performed an off-ball pick-and-roll for Terry. The former made an off-ball cut, and the latter began to transfer to the outside.

The offense of these two people is obviously more dangerous for Terry, so when switching defenses, Roy's speed is slower, just to allow Battier to catch up with him better.

But the result of this is that Howard successfully made an air cut to the inside, and Roy naturally had to chase after him.

Fortunately, Harris, who is in possession of the ball, is not very good at seizing opportunities, and he didn't pass it the first time.

And when Howard is about to reach the basket, the opponent has no chance to prepare for the action, so he can only choose to force the shot.

Boom!Strike the iron!
