Nine Hundred and Fifty Eight. First Experience of Leading a Team in a Desperate Situation

In 6 and a half minutes, Love scored 7 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, and 3 of the 5 rebounds were offensive rebounds.

Among the 7 points, there was a tip-in and a low-post single play. One of the two assists was an assist after grabbing an offensive rebound, and the other was a dunk by Wesley Johnson who cut in after being double-teamed in a low-post single play.

Love is the guarantee of the Timberwolves' offensive success rate!

Love played so hard and performed so well that he caught the Grizzlies off guard.

At this time, Coach Hollins called a timeout and entered the official timeout, and then replaced Nash, Randolph and Gasol.

Sun Ce looked at Love's 5 rebounds in half a quarter... It was crazy! He deserves to be the active player with the highest single-game rebounds.

There are only two active players with 30+ rebounds in a single game. One is Sun Ce who once had 30 rebounds in a single game, and the other is also the active player with the highest single-game rebounds, which is Love's 31.

Howard, who averaged 15.5 rebounds per game this year, had "only" 27 rebounds at most. He had 27 rebounds in a single game against the Heat, setting a new career high in rebounds.

In fact, the Grizzlies played well in the past 6 minutes or so. The team made 5 of 11 shots, which was a very good hit rate, but they were completely confused by Love, who had 7 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists in half a quarter.

At this time, Nash, Randolph and Gasol were all replaced. Sun Ce looked at Klay Thompson, Yi Jianlian and Jordan who were replaced...

Jimmy, Lewis and Aaron Gray were not included in the activation list. The three All-Star teammates collectively reduced their playing time. They encountered the explosive Love, and the Timberwolves actually always had a good lineup. Today, they were driven by Love.

This game is going to go wrong!

Sun Ce was really a little panicked this time. The three All-Star teammates were not there. He really had to lead the team himself! And it was not that the three of them sat on the bench to rest, but that they really only played for those few minutes, unlike usual times when there were always backups.

However, it was not just this one thing that made Sun Ce panic. After Coach Hollins arranged the running and gunning lineup and emphasized rebounding, the timeout was about to end. The players of both teams returned to the court. As soon as Sun Ce stepped onto the court, the system prompt came!

"Because Kevin Love is very envious of the host, and gradually evolved into jealousy, he wants to prove his strength in this game. B-level temporary event: Love's jealousy is triggered."

"Love's jealousy (B):

Goal 1: In this game, the host needs to limit Kevin Love's rebounds to less than 20.

Goal 2: In this game, the host must score higher than Kevin Love.

Goal 3: Win the game.

Event reward: One designated star experience card for the A-level power forward this season.

Failure penalty: Randomly deduct one star experience card for the lowest A-level player."

This temporary event came too suddenly!

Stunned for a moment, Sun Ce looked at Love's ability evaluation again.

"Kevin Love, 23 years old, ability rating S-, offense S, defense C+, rebounding SS...averaging 26.2 points, 13.1 rebounds, 2 assists..."

The first requirement of the event is to limit the opponent's rebounds to less than 20. Sun Ce has never encountered such a "simple" goal. Can you get 20+ rebounds in a single game just by wanting to?

But thinking that Love has already had 5 rebounds in half a quarter...Only Love and Howard, the only two active players with 15+ rebounds in a single game, can have such treatment!

If it were normal, after Rubio was reimbursed, even if Love was in such a good state, it would be enough to catch Love alone, but tonight the Timberwolves seemed to be working hard as a team,

playing very aggressively...

There was no time for Sun Ce to think more, the timeout was over, and on the Timberwolves side, Love, who had played very aggressively at the beginning, had already brought Wayne Ellington, Wesley Johnson, Beasley, and Milicic up!

…

After the timeout, the Grizzlies had the ball. Sun Ce received the ball and advanced to the three-point line, where he encountered Wesley Johnson's defense.

He quickly thought of a solution, and asked Yi Jianlian, who was defending Love, to set a pick-and-roll to pull Love out from under the basket.

But the center with good mobility, Milicic, followed him out, but how could Sun Ce let Love get rid of the pick-and-roll easily? He waved to Jordan, and Jordan also pulled out.

However, Love still didn't come out. Sun Ce used Jordan's pick-and-roll to break through to the left, rushed into the inside, accelerated and changed direction while moving to avoid Love's poor defense, and came to the right side of the three-second zone to shoot two points.

With 7 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, Sun Ce's score became the highest in the game.

When the Timberwolves attacked, Wayne Ellington didn't come by himself. After arriving at the frontcourt, he waited for Love to block Yi Jianlian and passed the ball to Love.

Love received the ball and wanted to single out Yi Jianlian, but Jordan immediately let go of Milicic and double-teamed him. The current Love is not the future Bosh-like Love. Low-post offense is his main offensive method, and he is very powerful. The average of 26 points per game is not a joke.

Love's pass is OK, but not top-notch. He can't pass it out. He doesn't have the explosive power of Randolph to push off two defenders to shoot. He can only try his best to throw the ball into the basket... but he missed!

But this is what Love expected. When he shot, he judged the timing. He stood up and tiptoed to throw the ball. Jordan and Yi Jianlian both jumped up. After throwing the ball out, Love immediately squeezed through the two people who jumped up and couldn't continue to block him. He jumped in the air and hit the ball that hit the neck of the basket and bounced to the other side into the basket!

Sun Ce was still a beat late in getting it back, after all, he was in the paint.

Sun Ce was speechless, he could score this! He thought of Love's average of 4.7 offensive rebounds per game this season, second in the league, higher than Howard's average of 4.5 offensive rebounds per game, and second only to Randolph's average of 5.2 offensive rebounds per game.

8 points and 6 rebounds!

Sun Ce felt that there would be a big problem with the temporary event tonight!

Sun Ce hurried back to the basket, called Yi Jianlian and Jordan together, whispered a few words during the 5-second serve time, then passed the ball to Yi Jianlian and came out to take the ball and advance.

After reaching the frontcourt, Sun Ce had to ensure the success rate of the attack, and once again screened with the two centers. Even if Love didn't come out, as long as he could make the shot, Sun Ce was ready to destroy his knees and ankles, and he would not hesitate to use his physical strength to accelerate and change direction while moving, anyway, there were physical potions to use.

However, Love followed Wesley Johnson's command this time. Love knew that his awareness and ability on the defensive end were not very good, so he listened to the command very well. Yi Jianlian took the opportunity to run back, Milicic and Love did not keep up, Sun Ce made a high lob, and Yi Jianlian scored two points with an alley-oop dunk.

18-18.

Scoring was still easy for the Grizzlies, but Sun Ce's headache now was that Love exploded out of jealousy. Although he didn't know why Love was jealous of him, Love just exploded. He was speechless. Why did someone always stare at him, especially those Mesozoic players...

Isn't it that he, a new generation player, won the MVP first and was on the road to the championship first? Is it that important?

It is most important to limit Love's scoring and rebounding first!

When it was the Timberwolves' turn to attack, they still gave the ball to Love in the low post. Love actually had no intention of grabbing rebounds and scoring tonight. He wanted to threaten to double-team and then pass the ball to his teammates. Although he was confident in his own strength, he was not arrogant enough to think that he could win by scoring. He wanted to work hard to lead the team's offense.

But this time after receiving the ball, Love found that not only Jordan was double-teaming him, but Sun Ce also took it back!

This time it was Love's turn to shout "Is it that serious?" He never thought that he could enjoy the treatment of being double-teamed by three people.

Milicic was not at ease with Love's shot after receiving the ball, and the passing angle was not good. He quickly passed the ball to the right corner, and Wayne Ellington, who was defended by Sun Ce, received the ball and shot a three-pointer... and it really went in!

Because of Love's feat of grabbing the offensive rebound against Yi Jianlian and Jordan, his teammates were very confident in Love's rebounding guarantee. In addition, they were fearless. No one would blame them whether they scored or lost. Timberwolves fans were used to it and shot decisively.

As the MOP of the NCAA basketball championship semifinals that year, Wayne Ellington is best at long-range shots!

When the Grizzlies attacked, Sun Ce looked for a pick-and-roll again, but the opponent didn't come out. Milicic and Love were both guarding the basket. Sun Ce used the pick-and-roll to signal Yi Jianlian to cut in. Sun Ce himself rushed to the right side of the three-second zone and missed the hook shot.

However, although he didn't grab the offensive rebound this time, Yi Jianlian and Jordan directly blocked Love. Milicic held on to Sun Ce who didn't make the shot and wanted to grab the ball that bounced back to the right side of the basket from the left edge of the basket, and guarded the defensive rebound.

In the next few rounds, the Grizzlies' offensive success rate was still good. When they couldn't make the shot, the two emperors also tried to defend Love and grab the defensive rebound at Sun Ce's signal. Love was happy to see this, allowing Milicic to guard the rebound. At least when the opponent couldn't make the shot, they guarded the defensive rebound.

On the offensive end, Love was double-teamed. The two emperors didn't know why Sun Ce ordered this, but they had strong execution. One of the three principles of the Grizzlies - whatever the little overlord said was right.

However, because of this, the Timberwolves' offense got better and better! It was originally a team formed by young players. Brad Miller and Milicic, the oldest players in the team, are very motivated. If they have a chance to beat the Grizzlies, they must play well.

Although the Grizzlies scored 29 points in the first quarter, the Timberwolves led by 4 points with 33 to 29 at the end of the first quarter!

After Love got 6 rebounds, he didn't get any rebounds in the rest of the first quarter, but Milicic completed two tip-ins. With Love's containment and Milicic's rebounds, the Timberwolves' offense played better because Sun Ce also got in, and there were many outside shooting opportunities!

Wayne Ellington and Beasley, one of the most wasted talents in history, seized the opportunity. The two combined to score 4 three-pointers in the second half of the first quarter, helping the Timberwolves to take a strong lead!

Back on the bench, the coaching staff did not blame him for blindly directing. The three principles of the Grizzlies are not only applicable to the players, but the coaching staff also let Sun Ce do it, because Sun Ce can find opportunities from a different angle than other players who have been trained in the American basketball system since junior high school or even elementary school.

Although I don’t know why, Sun Ce did it, so he did it.

Moreover, Coach Hollins formulated a rotation strategy at the end of the season based on Stockton’s opinions. It was not only to save the physical strength of the four key players while running in tactical cooperation, but also a very important thing-

trying to let Sun Ce lead the team alone.

Other stars, including James and Jordan, had a period of time in their early careers to lead the team alone and learn lessons from their mistakes, so they were very mature in the middle and late stages of their careers.

As for Magic, Duncan, and Kobe, who had good teammates from the beginning of their careers, Magic and Duncan are not included. They had good teammates throughout their careers. Even if they missed the opportunity to lead the team alone in the early stage of their careers, they would not encounter other situations.

After Kobe drove O'Neal away, he led the team by himself, which exposed huge problems.

Sun Ce is similar to Magic, Duncan, and Kobe. He was a "flower in a greenhouse" at the beginning. Except for the few games with the Warriors, he had almost no experience in leading a team alone. Sun Ce will lead the team by himself one day, whether he stays here or goes somewhere else. Coach Hollins wants to let Sun Ce practice leading the team by himself when he has the opportunity. If he makes mistakes, he makes mistakes. It doesn't matter if he loses a few games. As long as he can win 3 games in the last 7 games, he can guarantee the regular season championship.

Therefore, Coach Hollins dares not to do what Sun Ce does. He just needs to change players according to physical strength and other factors, arrange the defense, and let Sun Ce command as he wants.

The fact that he dares to "let it go" like this is also Coach Hollins' trust in Sun Ce. Indeed, Sun Ce's performance in the past two years cannot be asked for more.

Sun Ce, who was "let go" by the coaching staff, felt that he could only take care of the beginning and not the end.

Blocking Love's data, the score difference was widened. The opponent scored 6 three-pointers in a single quarter, which was amazing! Bilis and Wayne Ellington performed too well.

But he couldn't defend normally. He couldn't limit Love, who had another rebound explosion tonight, one-on-one. Even Randolph was robbed by Love.

Now it seems that there is a dead end in front of Sun Ce. It's really a bit difficult to score points, because the outside line is not as good as the opponent's. They scored 3 three-pointers in a single quarter, which is very impressive, but the opponent scored 6 in a single quarter.

Seeing that Coach Hollins had already started to change players, Sun Ce gritted his teeth and fucked him!

Opening the props section, Sun Ce already had the choice of the star experience card to use-the Bulls 11-12 season random player star experience card!

"Use the Bulls card!"

Sun Ce's mind moved, and the images of 15 Bulls players appeared on the system screen.

"I want Boozer, I want Noah, I want Gibson, I want to beat Love!"

This is the first time that Sun Ce wants a star experience card of an inside player so much, and he keeps praying in his heart that he can draw a Bulls inside player, preferably Boozer.

But, life is not satisfactory eight out of ten times...

"Congratulations to the host for randomly drawing the 11-12 version of Kyler Korver's star experience card, which has been used..."
