Nine Hundred and Seventy-Three. The Second Worst Defeat in History
This is something that many teams dare not do. If it were another head coach, he might be thinking about how to integrate the strongest players into a set of tactics.
Sun Ce has only seen Carlisle's operation in the way Popovich used the aging troika, and the way Zen Master used Bynum and Gasol!
Maybe Carlisle is not as good as Popovich in this regard, but he has Nowitzki and Yao Ming, which are easier to use. They are both offensive-minded. On the defensive end, they are only responsible for guarding the basket. They don't need to be like each other. Duncan has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the core of interior defense, which is easier than Duncan.
Sun Ce now understands why the Mavericks asked Yao Ming and Nowitzki to rest separately in the first half of the season. In addition to ensuring their health, it is more important to prepare for the playoffs. Carlisle has been preparing for the playoffs since the beginning of the season.
Just like Nash said, the Mavericks have not cared about the regular season record from the beginning, as long as they can enter the playoffs, and the purpose is to create new tactics for the King and Giant combination who are one year older!
However, Sun Ce feels that the current situation is not bad, 22 to 25, only 3 points behind. Still, with Yao Ming's 8 points in the half quarter, Conley's 7 points in a single quarter, and Jason Terry's 5 points in the half quarter, their Grizzlies Only 3 points behind.
Just continue with the second quarter! In terms of defense, Sun Ce feels that both they and the opponent have done a good job, even the best.
Like the Mavericks, in order to ensure defense, Yao Ming and Nowitzki are staggered on the court. In fact, if they appear together, even if they cannot have the effect of a double inside core, Yao Ming and Nowitzki are more threatening than the Mavericks even if they are catchers and shooters. Everyone is strong, and they are the Mavericks' most accurate shooters, but in order to ensure defense, Brandon Knight and Chandler, who can guard pick-and-rolls, are allowed to take turns partnering with Yao Ming and Nowitzki.
The Grizzlies also did a good job defensively. The current point difference is only 3 points, and there is not much difference in performance in the first quarter.
It depends on which side can maintain the offensive firepower!
…
The intersection break is almost over, and the Grizzlies have sent out a lineup with Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, and Gasol.
For the Mavericks, Barea, Delonte West, DeShawn Stevenson, Mahinmi, and Yao Ming appeared in the lineup.
After the start of the second quarter, Yao Ming scored two goals on the offensive end of the Mavericks. However, compared to the first quarter, Yao Ming played much fewer singles in this quarter. Barea's good Mahinmi's pick-and-roll offense became the core. Tactics, Yao Ming is responsible for opening up space to catch and shoot.
On the defensive end of the Mavericks,
Yao Ming still defends the basket and plays positional battles at a high pace. Mahinmi, who is very athletic, assists in defense. The three outsiders mainly defend three-pointers.
On the Grizzlies side, Sun Ce was once again forced to start scoring mode. This time Sun Ce really wanted to sort out the team's offense, but the opponent's defensive strategy was clear. Even if he scored 6 consecutive layups in the second quarter. points, the Mavericks still defended him alone, did not flank him after switching defenses, and continued to defend him alone after switching defenses.
The Mavericks had Yao Ming when Nowitzki was resting, and the others played with confidence, because if they couldn't do it, they could still give Yao Ming a one-on-one game. Yao Ming's turn-over jump shot after losing weight was really awesome.
The Mavericks maintained stable firepower, and Sun Ce could only work hard to score goals to ensure points. He had no extra energy to think about how to organize the offense, and he had to work hard on the defensive end.
By the time the official timeout came around in the second quarter, Sun Ce had already scored 24 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks!
Although he performed very well, Sun Ce was exhausted and playing like this was too tiring. In just 18 minutes, he accelerated and changed direction 8 times while traveling, and scored 4 goals, including two of the four goals he hit. It was 2+1. In the other 4 times, I missed two shots, but I was fouled on two of my shots and got 4 free throws, so I made 4 of 6 shots, plus 6 free throws, and I made 5 free throws. This move earned me 13 points!
Although the effect is very good, it is very tiring because on the defensive end, he also tries his best to assist in defense, make up for defense, and change defense.
Before entering the official timeout, Sun Ce missed two mid-range shots, but the opponent scored. The Grizzlies are currently 34 to 40, 6 points behind the Mavericks!
There was no other way. The physical potion was not fully charged yet and could not be used until the fourth game of the series. Sun Ce began to choose the star experience card when the official timeout came.
Sun Ce's plan to use the star experience card in this series is to make the choice based on the situation at the time. If it can be used without it, it is naturally best to win. If he wants to use it, he must choose the most suitable star experience card.
Now, Sun Ce feels that Luska is the most suitable!
Although Rose himself does not often use high-speed changes of direction now, only his grandson, Ginobili and Ellis can compare with Rose's high-speed change of direction skills in the league, but it is only a comparison.
With a thought, Sun Ce used Rosca...
"The host uses Derrick Rose's 2011-2012 version of the star experience card. Ability evaluation is S-, offense is S, defense is A, three-pointer is C, mid-range shot is B, layup is S+, breakthrough after pick-and-roll is A+, shooting after pick-and-roll is A+, speed is S -, burst speed S, strength A...matching bonus."
“Due to factors such as body size, shooting area, and other factors, the match between the host and Derrick Rose is 60%.
The effect of LeBron James' balance bracelet is triggered, and the host position moves to the point guard, a perfect match, and the matching degree bonus is 20%..."
"Host's temporary ability rating is A+, three-pointer C+, mid-range shot B, layup S, pick-and-roll breakout A, pick-and-roll shooting A+, speed S-, strength A-, burst speed S-..."
With a 60% match, plus the 20% bonus from James' balance bracelet, Sun Ce has a temporary ability rating of A+!
Although his shooting was greatly affected, Sun Ce made 4 of 7 mid-range shots in the first quarter, which was a huge threat, and no one dared to let him go.
And Sun Ce's burst speed, change of direction ability, jumping, etc. have been significantly improved.
After Sun Ce wiped off his sweat, he thought about it and put on his goggles. He was fouled four times in the first half of the quarter, and was hit on the head once. He had to protect his handsome face.
Seeing that Sun Ce had put on his goggles, Coach Hollins continued to send Sun Ce to the court. There was no good solution now. Sun Ce was the highest scorer in the game, making 8 of 15 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers and 7 of 8 free throws. His hit rate was also the highest in the game except for Yao Ming.
More than two-thirds of the Grizzlies' points were scored by Sun Ce. In this situation, they can't think of a solution temporarily, so they can only continue to play around Sun Ce.
Coach Hollins paired Sun Ce with Paul George, Battier, Randolph, and Jordan.
On the Mavericks side, Yao Ming played for 13 minutes in the first half and scored 14 points, then went down to rest. Nowitzki and the lineup of Conley, Beaubois, Chandler, and Marion came on the court.
…
After an official timeout, Sun Ce, who had been fighting for 18 minutes in a row and got 24 points and 2 blocks, came back to life and continued to soar.
However, the Mavericks were ready. They were not deceived by Sun Ce's "pretending to be tired". They continued to play steadily, blocked the connection between others and Sun Ce, let Sun Ce play alone, and then relied on two sets of lineups to fight the Grizzlies.
Even though Sun Ce scored 7 points in a row in the middle of the third quarter to help the Grizzlies overtake by two points, the Mavericks continued to defend steadily, focusing on limiting other players on the Grizzlies. Nash was the same when he came up, defending others roughly, giving Sun Ce the opportunity to receive the ball and play one-on-one.
And Sun Ce's shooting performance today was very good. His one-on-one single-handed shooting hit rate was higher than that of other open shots. It's not that other people's shots were not good, they were okay, but mainly because Sun Ce performed particularly well today.
Gradually, the game became a full-scale defense on the Grizzlies' side, and Sun Ce played one-on-one on the offensive end, while the Mavericks insisted on implementing two sets of offensive tactics, defending Sun Ce on the defensive end, blocking other Grizzlies players, and the whole team competed with Sun Ce.
After the first three quarters, the Grizzlies were one point behind the Mavericks 72 to 73, and Sun Ce had already scored 45 points in three quarters!
Due to the temporary improvement in strength, Sun Ce scored 21 points and 2 assists in this quarter and a half!
But the consumption on the offensive end was not as great as the first half of the game. After all, he had to use the acceleration change of direction during the game, which required full effort to change direction and trigger skills, but high-speed change of direction was just a "normal way of playing" for Rose.
In the final quarter, Sun Ce scored 12 points in a single quarter and continued to soar, but in the last 4 seconds of the game, Sun Ce passed the ball to Klay Thompson, who missed a three-pointer and the Grizzlies lost!
Sun Ce, who played for 48 minutes, scored 22 of 38 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, and 12 of 14 free throws, scoring 57 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 blocks, and 2 steals. He passed less and made only 1 turnover, but still lost to the Mavericks led by the king and giant combination.
Yao Ming played for 26 minutes, scored 25 points with 11 of 17 shots, Nowitzki played for 28 minutes, 9 of 16 shots, including 3 of 4 three-pointers, 24 points, 3 of 4 free throws, and Conley scored 16 points. The three of them scored 65 points in total.
In addition, Jason Terry made 3 of 5 three-pointers, one of which was a four-pointer, scoring 10 points. Four Mavericks scored in double digits, Sun Ce scored 57 points, and the Grizzlies still lost!
Except for Sun Ce, the rest of the team only scored 37 points!
Until the last moment, the Grizzlies still relied on Sun Ce to win, but Nowitzki and Jason Terry stood up at the critical moment, each hitting a three-pointer and killing the game.
On the Grizzlies side, everyone shot well at the beginning, but as they played, because they kept watching Sun Ce play, and Sun Ce performed well, the others only passed the ball to them when Sun Ce couldn't play, and the chances were not very good, and slowly the feel of the hand fell. At the last moment, Yao Ming had Nowitzki and Jason Terry to make the key three-pointer, but he, Sun, didn't!
With Klay Thompson's counter-killing three-pointer missing, the final whistle sounded, 94 to 97, Sun Ce looked at the final score on the big screen... lost!
Next to him was his data, 57 points, but lost!
