Nine Hundred and Thirty-Six. The Angry Little Emperor

Teacher Tony + President + Little Overlord, Thomas's special defensive package, you deserve it.

No matter which inside player Thomas picks and rolls with, Battier will go out to defend the pick and roll, and he will not defend the breakthrough, but the three-pointer and mid-range shot after the pick and roll.

Aaron Gray goes in and out of the three-second zone. When it is Aaron Gray's turn to defend the inside player, Aaron Gray doesn't care, just waiting for Thomas to enter the inside to give physical confrontation. If he fouls, he fouls. Anyway, he has to hold Thomas back and give Sun Ce the opportunity to come in to assist.

If Thomas and his outside teammates pick and roll, they may not be able to stop Tony Allen. Even if the pick and roll is completed, they will be directly pressed out of the three-point line by Sun Ce or Paul George. Tony Allen will not switch defense, but will directly press on and double-team outside the three-point line.

Before that, when Thomas pushed the ball across half court, they had already begun to constantly confront the shooters on both sides to consume them.

If Thomas seizes the opportunity to pass to teammates on both sides, the Grizzlies will not care if they make the shot. The purpose is very clear, that is, to lock Thomas first.

This trick will definitely not work against strong teams. Strong teams have good enough tactical qualities, and the players are used to cooperation. They know what to do in any situation. Even if it is not the best choice, they will definitely make the best action they can think of.

As for the Kings, Thomas is already the second highest player in the team with a hit rate of 45%, which is higher than Cousins ​​and second only to Jason Thompson. Others' open shots are not as high as Thomas's normal pick-and-roll attack.

The gap between stars and ordinary players is obvious.

Thomas was almost collapsed by the defense. At the beginning, it was okay if his teammates could make the shot, but his teammates started to become iron as they shot. This made the Grizzlies' defense more determined. It doesn't matter whether the offense is good or not. First, put Thomas' mentality to collapse, and this tactical adjustment will be completed.

Such defense, let alone Thomas, let Kobe, James, and Durant come, if their teammates are the Kings teammates, they will curse the streets!

Use one word to describe the Grizzlies' defensive strategy - inhumane...

Use one word to describe Thomas's experience - horrible!

It is too easy for the Grizzlies to really use defense to deal with the Kings. The Kings are not really hot, but the morale brought by Thomas and the absence of the Grizzlies' defensive core today, plus the Grizzlies played very relaxed.

When the Grizzlies got serious, with targeted defense, the game became very tragic.

The defensive tactic is to block the strong point and release the opponent's relatively weaker link, and the Kings are not strong in any point, only Thomas is stronger.

Although the Grizzlies only scored 36 points in the 18 minutes from the official timeout in the second quarter to the end of the third quarter, playing against a team with such a terrible defense like the Kings, only 36 points in 18 minutes is less than the average level of other teams in the league against the Kings.

But the Kings only scored 24 points in 18 minutes!

After 3 quarters, the Grizzlies led the Kings 81-71, widening the gap to 10 points!

During this period, the Kings made 9 of 36 shots, with a miserable hit rate of 25%...

Of these 9 goals, the Kings scored 5 in the second half of the second quarter, and only 4 in the third quarter...

The hit rate of 4 of 23 shots in a single quarter was so bad that the scene was quiet for most of the quarter. In the second half of the third quarter, the Grizzlies replaced Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Lewis, and Yi Jianlian to start attacking and widening the gap. When the inside lineup had almost no defense, the Kings could no longer make mid-range and long-range shots.

At this time, the scene didn't know where it started, and gradually spread, and finally a uniform shout rang out.

"We-want-Tyreke...We-want-Tyreke...We-want-Tyreke..."

After three quarters, Sun Ce played for 24 minutes,

scoring 11 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 blocks and 4 steals.

From the second half of the second quarter to the end of the third quarter, Sun Ce only made 4 shots, 1 of 4, plus 1 of 2 free throws, only got three points, but got 14 rebounds, and got 1 assist in the second half of the second quarter and 5 assists in the third quarter.

Listening to the cheers of the fans, Sun Ce was glad that he was not selected by the Kings. If he was asked to change to shooting guard now, he still had the ability to change slowly, but if he won the best sixth man in his rookie season in the Kings, and asked him to change his position in the second year... maybe he would not just go to the shooting guard position, so he might as well retire on the spot.

He still needed 2 assists, 1 block and 1 steal, so Sun Ce must play in the fourth quarter, with a 10-point difference, which was not very safe.

From the second half of the second quarter to the end of the third quarter, Sun Ce also deliberately reduced his shooting to save his energy. He was purely defensive in the second half of the second quarter, and in the third quarter, he mainly attacked by passing the ball to the pick-and-roll between Ridnour and Neal.

So Sun Ce's current physical condition is not bad. After all, even if he was grinding the defense against the Kings, it was actually mainly to deal with Thomas. After Thomas was replaced in the middle of the third quarter, the Grizzlies guarded the basket and shrank their defense, and the opponent's outside shots could no longer be made.

Sun Ce wanted to do something on the court now. Coach Hollins saw Sun Ce's expectant expression, how could he not know what was going on?

Pair Sun Ce with a lineup of Klay Thompson, Paul George, Battier, and Yi Jianlian. The outside defense is okay. Yi Jianlian does a good job of blocking people in the paint. Without Cousins ​​in the Kings, Yi Jianlian is enough to create blocking opportunities for Sun Ce. .

Thomas was not substituted in the fourth quarter. He is very good when he plays well, but when he is contained, he is quite pitiful. He will not be without the ball. He can only dominate the ball when he is on the field, otherwise he will It has no effect.

The head coach of the Kings simply asked the lonely master that the management liked to play point guard.

Thomas looked at Sun Ce on the court who was more selfless than before with two assists, and more proactive defensively than before with one block and one steal. He was speechless and choked...

He himself felt that he was so miserable. He had 14 points and 5 assists in the first 15 minutes of playing time!

As a result, in the next 12 minutes, they made 1 of 7 shots, 3 of which were blocked, and made two mistakes. From the second half of the second quarter to the first half of the third quarter, the Kings were able to score 13 points.

Of course, Thomas went down, and the Kings' scoring wasn't much better. They only scored 9 points in 5 minutes and 44 seconds in the second half of the third quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Sun Ce paired up with two 3D players, as well as Battier, who switched defenses very well. If they couldn't switch defenses, they would shrink. The Kings continued their sluggish scoring performance.

After playing for half a quarter, Sun Ce had 10 assists and 6 blocks. After finally getting his 5th steal, he ended with satisfaction.

In this half of the quarter, in addition to 3 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal, he also had 2 points and 5 rebounds.

Sun Ce, who played a total of 31 minutes, scored 13 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists, 6 blocks, 5 steals, 4 turnovers and 4 fouls. Before leaving the field, Sun Ce really wanted to hit someone with the ball and collect the turnovers and fouls at the same time, but Coach Hollins did not Giving him a chance, Sun Ce stole the ball and was counterattacked by Lonely Master, causing Lonely Master to foul and was replaced by coach Hollins.

When Sun Ce was replaced, the Grizzlies had already led the Kings by 22 points, 98-76. During these 5 minutes and 39 seconds, he had already been defeated and was disturbed by the fans at the scene shouting "We want Tyreke". The explosive Kings only scored 5 points, which couldn't be worse.

Thomas Jr. watched him return to the sidelines and dance Sun Ce's cha-cha with Randolph in a suit. He felt so frustrated today...

They are all second-round picks, so why bother fighting each other?

Sun Ce blocked him three times in 12 minutes! 3 times!

Thomas enjoyed the warmest welcome ceremony from the NBA...

In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the Kings 111-83 by 28 points, winning 4 consecutive games and improving their record to 36 wins and 8 losses.

Sun Ce was a little excited after getting his 11th triple-double of the season, and this was the fifth time in his career that he had multiplied by 5!

Unfortunately, there was no on-site post-game interview. Apart from Time Warner's state broadcast, this game was not broadcast live on any national or overseas TV stations. The court station broadcast the game between the Heat and the Knicks at the same time.

Sun Ce was a little regretful and could only say to Jimmy and Clay who were following him on the way back to the locker room: "Actually, I don't want to play like this. I don't want to get a triple-double or 5 times 5. They forced me..."

Brother Jimmy and Brother Clay listened silently. What the third brother said was right. The third brother was awesome again tonight. Listening to Sun Ce pretending to be awesome, the two couldn't help but look forward to the future when they will be very powerful. After showing off the scene of showing off, but I felt that it would be too easy to get beaten.

At the same time, the two of them suddenly felt a slight crisis. They were standing next to the third brother carelessly like this. Will they be beaten?

Just as Sun Ce kept murmuring, the system prompt suddenly came!

"Because the host's career triple-doubles are tied with LeBron James's, the S-level event MVP's fifth-stage event: The King Eater is triggered..."

…

…

When the Grizzlies defeated the Kings, James also scored 42 points, 9 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals at Madison Square Garden, helping the Heat defeat the Knicks 125-118 in a counterattack.

Bynum scored 26 points and 29 rebounds. He played so violently that he beat Bosh until he cried. With 11 offensive rebounds, the Knicks can shoot with confidence from the outside. Fortunately, the Heat's outside shooting is good enough. Tracy McGrady's Returning to the NBA for the first time, his shooting is really good. In the past period, he averaged 1.2 three-pointers per game, with a shooting percentage of 45.7%. In 16 minutes of playing time, he averaged 7.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game. , McGrady did not play with James for 5-6 minutes in each game, giving James some rest time.

In this game, James also tried his best to hold down 7 defensive rebounds. When Wade was out due to injury, he scored 42 points personally and had 11 assists. In the end, he narrowly won.

In such a game, James thinks he should be making headlines, right?

James feels that he is finally going to be popular this time. This is the best performance by a player who has visited Madison Square Garden so far this season.

And the No. 3 player who always loves to steal the limelight has no chance to play in Madison Square Garden this season. His team only plays the Knicks once at home and never on the road.

Based on James' analysis of this season, since that guy has no chance to play here, it will be difficult for anyone to perform better than him in this game.

But when being interviewed after the game, James couldn't help but pinch his thighs to relieve his grief and anger.

"Just now, the Lord got his 11th triple-double of the season and went off the court to rest. His career triple-doubles have tied you. Do you have anything to say about this? Do you want to widen the gap again?"
