Nine Hundred and Forty-Seven. Why Is It Always You?

It is easier than expected to limit Bosh from getting rebounds. Sun Ce feels that it is not as simple as tactical roles that cause Bosh's rebounding to decline.

Scoring is because he has to play pick-and-roll with James, often pulling out, and Wade also has to break through the space, so Bosh changed his playing style to focus on shooting and cutting.

But in terms of rebounds, it is understandable that he can't grab offensive rebounds, but he can't win defensive rebounds either... Bosh's rebounding has indeed degenerated too seriously, and he almost has no position. It seems that he has become purely relying on James to position and then rely on his own physical fitness to rush and grab.

His teammates in the interior blocked well, and Sun Ce himself was better at rebounding than Bosh, which made Bosh 0 rebounds in 9 minutes.

And tonight, rebounds were too important. James' offensive rebounds were blocked and defensive rebounds were defended. The Heat's strongest defensive rebounder was still Bosh. If Wade hadn't worked hard to grab 3 defensive rebounds in a single quarter, the Grizzlies might have scored more points, and the Heat's scoring would also be affected.

But now the problem is that Nash's playing like this consumes a lot of energy. He plays very hard, and his ability to organize offense is brought to the extreme. He tries to help his teammates reduce confrontation and leads his teammates to form confrontation with James and Wade. But it's time for Nash to rest, so he has to fall into positional warfare again.

Even if they have an advantage in the run-and-gun stage, they can play in the positional warfare and lose five or six points in half a quarter. They can catch up in the run-and-gun stage, but they can't always play like this. If the outside shooting feels bad, it will be fatal.

But falling into the positional warfare, there is no one who can resist James. Playing run-and-gun is indeed the key to avoid the disadvantage of the front line. Sun Ce can also push forward and run-and-gun, but he is not as good as Nash. Even if Nash is 38 years old, the run-and-gun trick is still the strongest in the league.

Sun Ce looked at the prop space and there is a card. There is a two-thirds probability that he can have the ability to confront James.

In addition to limiting Bosh's rebounds to no more than 5 tonight, there is another very important event!

"Balance bracelet advanced event (B):

Goal 1: In the new season against Boris Dio, the host's score, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals must all be higher than Boris Dio. (Completed games: 3.)

Goal 2: In the new season against Josh Smith, the host's rebounds, assists, and blocks must all be higher than Josh Smith. (Completed)

Goal 3: In the new season against LeBron James, the host's score + assists must be higher than LeBron James. (In progress)

..."

Currently, James has 17 points, 1 rebound, and 4 assists, while Sun Ce has 9 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists. James's score must be limited. In terms of rebounds + assists, Sun Ce is indeed not inferior to James, but in terms of scoring, James has the strength to win the scoring title!

Originally, the 76ers' three All-Star cards were prepared to be used if they met the Heat in the finals, but it seems that they can't be used today.

And they must be used as soon as possible! It was about to enter the positional battle offense. Klay Thompson and Paul George played for a long time in the first quarter. Even if Sun's running and gunning might be effective, he didn't have the conditions.

With a thought, the system prompt came.

"The host used the 76ers' 11-12 season All-Star player random player star experience card, randomly..."

In front of Sun Ce, a three-dimensional image of Iguodala, Evans, and Howard appeared.

What Sun Ce wanted most was naturally Iguodala, who would assist Randolph, the inside killer who was about to play, and the perfect second-in-command star experience card, of course, would be the best.

However, three seconds later, Sun Ce saw a familiar face, the guy who had used it twice!

"Congratulations to the host for randomly obtaining Dwight Howard 11-12 version,

Used..."

"Dwight Howard 11-12 version, ability rating S, offense A, defense S+, rebound SS...matching bonus..."

"Because the host and Dwight Howard's playing style are extremely mismatched, the technology, flexibility, and shooting are greatly affected, and the matching degree is 45%.

Oscar Robertson's balance bracelet effect is triggered, and the host's position moves to a small forward, which slightly improves the matching degree and adds 5%.

Because the host is already wearing Dwight Howard's arm guard, the matching degree is added by 25%.

The matching degree is added to 75%, and the technology, flexibility, and shooting effects brought by Dwight Howard's star experience card are greatly reduced..."

"Host Temporary ability evaluation A+,

Physical fitness S+: speed S-, strength S-, endurance S, jumping A+, static confrontation A+, leg explosive power S- (explosive acceleration, rebound speed), explosive confrontation ability S...

Shooting evaluation B-: No three-pointer, mid-range shot B+ (mid-range shot on the right side of the baseline A, mid-range shot on the front of the basket A, mid-range shot on the right side of the three-second zone A, mid-range shot on the left side of the three-second zone C+, left baseline of the three-second zone B+), layup A+...

Technical evaluation B-: ball control A, passing B+, pick-and-roll jump shot C, dribble shot C, emergency stop jump shot C, low post back technique A-, high post back technique C, three-threat stance D-..."

"What a bad luck! ?

I can't hide from you! "

Sun Ce looked at the serious drop in shooting and technical evaluation, which was still a significant reduction.

But it did significantly reduce the impact, which is much better than using Howard's star experience card at the beginning of last season. At that time, the positional adaptability bonus of the balance bracelet was very low, and there was no Howard's arm guard. This time the impact was small.

That time was really miserable. Shooting was almost useless, ball control was affected, and passing was seriously affected. The only bonus was Howard's brutal physical fitness.

This also made Sun Ce want to upgrade the balance bracelet to James' balance bracelet, which can move 1-3-4 positions. He himself is changing to a shooting guard. When the time comes, using the star experience card, 1-3-4 positions can have a matching bonus.

If there is an adaptation effect for the 4th position, the bonus should be even higher, just like using Stoudemire's star experience card, after moving to the 3rd position, the matching bonus is 10%. Although it is not directly using the 20% bonus of the 3rd position, it is also very good.

Fortunately, the ball control and passing this time are not as affected as that time. The ball control is still at a first-class level, and the passing is also at a quasi-first-class level, which is not too bad.

But now that he has moved to the small forward position, his strength rating has still reached the top edge level of S-level, so he has to adjust his playing style next.

Sun Ce really doesn't want to defend that guy, but there is no way. Last year, Gay was written off, and there was Battier who was not that old. Now there is no way.

The coaching staff is also discussing who to let defend James. Paul George is the best defender. Tony Allen can't defend, Klay Thompson is strong enough but not explosive enough and not mobile enough, Battier is too slow, and only Paul George is okay.

But okay, just okay. With Paul George's talent, after waiting for one or two years, the coaching staff believes that he can fight with James. Now, even with the guidance of Tony and Battier, it still doesn't work. Just in terms of body, he is not as strong as Klay Thompson.

Just when the coaching staff was wondering who to use to be abused by James, Sun Ce stood up and came to the coaching staff gathered together: "I defend James."

Sun Ce suddenly came up and said such a sentence, and Coach Hollins said... I like it too much!

In fact, he also planned to do so. He simply used the weakest link to defend against the opponent's strongest link. When James broke through, he switched to the inside to interfere with the shot. Sun Ce went to defend the opponent's inside, leaving James one-on-one in the inside. If he couldn't defend, he couldn't defend. He would consume him first.

Just thinking of Sun Ce's expression of "the coach is dead" when he was assigned to defend James before, Coach Hollins didn't know how to start. Now he is delivering it to the door, which is a good feeling.

…

After the break, the Heat team, Norris Cole, McGrady, James Jones, James, Bosh played.

On the Grizzlies team, Sun Ce, with the determination to be hit to death, played with the combination of Neil, Tony Allen, Randolph, and Gasol.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Heat attacked first.

James took a deep breath, took the serve and slowly pushed forward. He never underestimated the Grizzlies, but took it very seriously, so he played very hard today and was ready to play the whole game.

The Grizzlies gave James the same feeling as when he met the Celtics, but his teammates now are much better than when he was with the Cavaliers, and he has more confidence.

After advancing to the frontcourt, James suddenly found that it was Sun Ce who was defending him.

James saw through the opponent's head coach's idea at once and wanted to separate him from his teammates.

For James, this is what he wanted! He hasn't scored in a long time. When he got to the frontcourt, he broke through directly against Sun Ce who was guarding the three-point line!

Sun Ce was very fast and pressed towards James. James directly hit him... It was true that Sun Ce was knocked away, but what surprised James was the force of Sun Ce's collision, which was more violent than in the first quarter. Sun Ce's A+ level burst collision in the first quarter had surprised James, but it was not enough to affect him. This time, James' sprint was really paused.

But James' physical fitness was too good. When he was hit and paused, his hands did not stop. He slapped the ball hard and took two steps to speed up again. This was just a matter of a few tenths of a second. James rushed into the inside line almost without any hindrance.

However, these few tenths of a second gave Gasol the opportunity to move ahead. Gasol, who had been prepared for a long time, directly pressed one step outside the reasonable collision zone, giving James a chance to confront.

James couldn't turn around this time. He relied on brute force to push Gasol to the left side of the three-second zone, switched the ball to his left hand to try to avoid Gasol, who was good at lateral movement, and made a long left-handed throw, but Gasol was tall and had an excellent arm span, and successfully interfered.

James's big throw missed!

Bosh immediately cut from the baseline to the inside when James moved to the left. Seeing that James' throw hit the left edge of the basket and flew towards him, and seeing that only Sun Ce was moving more, Bosh immediately pushed forward. Rebound! It's finally coming!

Just when Bosh was happily preparing to knock away Sun Ce who was coming towards him to get the offensive rebound, he seemed to be knocked away by Panda who rushed up...

Sun Ce knocked away Bosh and took the defensive rebound!

After being knocked away, Bosh sat on the ground without standing firmly, watching James go up and try to steal the ball from Sun Ce, but Sun Ce dodged him with his butt raised and the ball held high.

James is not inferior to Sun Ce in height, but his arm span is 6 cm shorter. With Sun Ce in this position, James could only pull up Bosh, who was looking at Sun Ce in confusion, and retreat.

Sun Ce was not sure whether he could advance well in the face of James' pressing defense. He did not counterattack by himself. After James pulled Bosh to retreat, he passed the ball to Neal and ran towards the frontcourt.

James, who returned to the backcourt, felt that he underestimated Sun Ce. This guy couldn't use common sense to judge.

Defense is such a poor thing. Sun Ce can only limit James, who is currently at his peak physical fitness, to a few tenths of a second. He can only rely on collision and confrontation to allow James to explode and accelerate again, but just It's enough for Gasol to defend where he should be.

After Neil advanced to the frontcourt, he saw Sun Ce stretching to a 45-degree angle for two points. Neil understood that Sun Ce wanted to use his shooting ability to open up the space and direct Randolph to go to the low post. .

Randolph looked at the guy behind him who was stronger than him. It was really annoying! James has become the favorite for the best defensive player this season, and he mainly plays power forward, which proves how strong James is.

But who is Randolph afraid of? Give him the ball and he will dare to hit it against Gasol or Yao Ming. Whether he can score or not is one thing, but his momentum cannot be lost!

However, Randolph is powerful in low-post singles, not only with his weight of 203 cm + 122 kg, but also with his gifted brute strength! A sudden collision knocked James back half a step. James couldn't withstand Randolph's explosive power, but James could do a good job guarding players taller than him. Although Randolph's 218 cm wingspan made up for his height, disadvantage, but was still interfered by James' efforts. Randolph failed to completely hit the basket, and the throw hit the neck of the basket.

Bosh immediately stepped in when Randolph turned around, and saw the ball hit the neck of the basket. James was almost overturned by Randolph, but he still worked hard to block Randolph who was trying to grab an offensive rebound. , Bosh jumped up hard and saw the ball bounce from the neck of the basket to his direction. Bosh was ready to embrace his first rebound of the game...

Suddenly there was a huge impact from behind. When Bosh was knocked forward, his long neck twisted and looked into the air. Sun Ce pushed the ball back into the frame!

Bosh could have stood firm, but when he saw that the other party was Sun Ce, he couldn't believe it: Why is it you again?

When he landed, Bosh lost his footing and fell to the ground again...

Watching Sun Ce, Randolph, and Gasol high-five each other and then retreat, Bosh seemed to understand something: Are these murderers targeting me? why me? I'm just a younger brother! The eldest brother and the second brother are so powerful. They scored 17 points in a single quarter and 5 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists in a single quarter. If you don't target them, why are you targeting me, the third child? They are all the third team members, and we are not targeting your MVP!

James rubbed his chest, which was hurt by Randolph's push, and pulled Bosh up again. He was speechless. Bosh and Sun Ce couldn't get the rebound! It doesn't matter if you can't get the offensive rebounds, but you should be able to get the defensive rebounds, right?

Although Sun Ce averages second in the league in rebounds per game, everyone knows that Sun Ce's own rebounding ability should be in 7-9 situations. James feels that Bosh should be able to win or lose with Sun Ce in one-on-one. As a result He was beaten so badly!

If you want to say what James regrets about teaming up, the biggest regret is definitely not the live broadcast. What he did was done, and he didn't find the right insider. The original target was Anthony, but who asked Anthony to sign a long-term contract, but they didn't get it. Boat.

It was the Heat's offense again. This time James handed the ball to McGrady, but this time he still didn't break through. Sun Ce was a little surprised.

Moreover, in the previous round when he faced Gasol on the offensive end and Randolph on the defensive end, James wanted to slow down, play in the low post, and practice.

Even though McGrady has played a role in the team at such an age, he still doesn't forget to be cool. He received the ball and turned sideways against Tony Allen, grabbing the ball with one hand and keeping away from Tony Allen's hand.

Sun Ce looked at McGrady's strong yet slender figure. Even though he was hunched at the age of 33, he was still so coquettish and envious. However, guarding James was the most important thing, so Sun Ce moved inside.

McGrady is not as strong as he was back then, but he will not lose his consciousness. He is in good health and has a strong lineup that he has never had in his career. He uses his existing abilities well and knows clearly what to do and what not to do. , seeing James blocking Sun Ce in the low post, McGrady immediately lobbed the ball over.

Sun Ce doesn't dare to underestimate the current James' low-post skills. Last summer, this guy improved not only his short-range footwork. In addition to practicing layups and gaining weight, he also learned low-post shooting from Kobe Bryant and the invited Olajuwon. In fact, Even in the pick-and-roll, James will run to ask Stockton for advice.

Sun Ce is aware of James' progress, and at this point in the regular season, James should have integrated what he has learned into the game.

Sure enough, James pretended to use his weight and explosive power to knock Sun Ce away, and then turned around beautifully from the baseline to lick the basket and score two points.

Sun Ce really had no choice but to jump up. It was already too late.

How clever is James' low post play? Sun Ce feels that he is far behind compared with him, but James' physical condition is good. James' low-post facing or back-to-the-basket skills are actually just one - turning around, but he just can't guard against it!

James learned from Kobe and Olajuwon in the summer that he also practiced the low-post skill of turning around well, so he practiced like crazy, and now he uses it very well. His physical fitness allowed him to perform at the top level.

There is no other way. To prevent James from breaking through Sun Ce, we can use switching defense. To prevent low-post back-ups, we can only rely on double-teaming.

At this time, the Heat's pitching team played an effective role. The efficiency of breakthrough distribution was average, but James' low-post back-ups played an important role in the defensive battle. Low-post means good vision!

The Grizzlies can only rely on Randolph and Sun Ce to take turns to play low-post singles. Sun Ce's mid-range shots only play a role of distraction. If he is asked to shoot, he is really worried that he will not be able to make the shot.

James' offensive and defensive performances are very fierce. In the low-post back-ups with Sun Ce + Randolph, he actually has the upper hand. In addition to the sharp breakthrough, Sun Ce + Gasol did not defend very well together. James can occasionally pass the ball to his teammates who are vacant on the outside. Although the number of times is not large, Randolph is a power forward after all. He has to keep up with James Jones and deal with off-ball pick-and-rolls, which is indeed average.

But fortunately, there is a loophole in the Heat's defense that can be bullied... Bosh's rebounds!

Like other teams' advantages against the Heat, Sun Ce seized the problems of Bosh's lack of position, lack of man-up, weak confrontation, etc. When Randolph was facing James' desperate confrontation, Sun Ce faced Bosh's 3 offensive rebounds in half a quarter and withstood James' offensive!

Sun Ce made a tip-in, passed an offensive rebound to Gasol for a mid-range shot, and attracted James to make a tip-in and passed the offensive rebound to Randolph for a layup...

Halfway through the second quarter, the Grizzlies were 44 to 43, leading by 1 point and entering the official timeout!

Back on the bench, Sun Ce gulped down two cans of Gatorade.

Although he had the physical fitness bonus of Howard and good physical strength, he consumed a lot and needed to replenish more electrolytes. He had already asked Jimmy to buy hamburgers.

Although he was leading by 1 point, Sun Ce couldn't rest easy now.

James had 25 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists before the end of the first half!

Although he had 15 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, he was still no match for James.

What is peak James... Sun Ce felt it! !

The most important thing is that they relied on his occasional offensive rebounds to widen the gap to 3 or 4 points, and James immediately caught up.

This timeout was not called by the Heat, but by the Grizzlies!
