Nine Hundred and Seventy-Seven. Unsuccessful Run and Gun

During the tactical meeting, Coach Hollins predicted that one of Yao Ming and Nowitzki would most likely choose to play as a substitute tonight, so Sun Ce was not too surprised when he saw that Yao Ming did not take off his training uniform after entering the court, but Chandler took off his training uniform.

For the combination of Conley + pick-and-roll player + Nowitzki + two shooters, the Grizzlies were already prepared, so Sun Ce was relatively calm.

At 10:00 p.m., the referee blew the whistle to start the game, threw the ball into the air, Chandler won the jump ball, and the Mavericks attacked first.

Sun Ce retreated immediately after landing. He worked hard during the jump ball. What if he won? But he knew that the Mavericks first sent out the inside combination of Nowitzki + Chandler, instead of Brandon Knight and Yao Ming, just to win the jump ball.

After the game started, the Mavericks launched an offensive style with Nowitzki as the containment point and main shooter, Conley + Chandler's pick-and-roll cooperation, and Marion and DeShawn Stevenson as two wing shooters.

Conley, Nowitzki, and Marion all have passing abilities, Chandler's pick-and-roll is solid, and his cuts are sharp, which is basically the strongest play of the Mavericks in the regular time of the 0-season playoffs in the original time and space.

Nowitzki played the entire regular season, and his playoff state is really no worse than the regular state of the playoffs last season. He no longer has the terrifying singles ability like a god descending from heaven, but as a containment point and a catcher and shooter, Nowitzki has not declined much in this aspect. He is a technical player. As long as he has enough physical strength, this aspect may not decline too much in another two years.

However, the Grizzlies' defense is very good. Nash follows DeShawn Stevenson closely, and letting Nash defend the ball-handling player may make any ball-handling outside player perform above his level, but Nash's active defensive attitude is still quite troublesome for the catcher and shooter. After playing three rounds and replacing Tony Allen, Paul George went to defend DeShawn Stevenson and restricted him better.

Sun Ce mainly retreated to defend the basket. If a player cut in, he would go into the chase defense. As for Marion... he could shoot or not. If the Mavericks really relied on Marion to make a three-pointer, it would be the same as the Grizzlies relying on Gasol to make a mid-range shot to win the game.

Marion did not serve as the main attacker. After all, he was not the super power forward who averaged + for four consecutive seasons.

Marion chose to make a second pick-and-roll for Conley when Sun Ce retreated, creating better scoring opportunities for Nowitzki or Conley.

The Grizzlies' defensive focus was very clear, which was to let Conley and Nowitzki take on the offensive tasks and consume the two at the beginning. At the beginning of the game, the Grizzlies used the defensive strategy discussed yesterday afternoon and this morning to deal with the Mavericks.

The defense was pretty good, at least the Mavericks didn't play a particularly good team offense.

The shooting rights were mainly concentrated on Conley and Nowitzki, who scored points in half a quarter. Chandler relied on pick-and-roll and Marion's second pick-and-roll on Conley to get a chance to cut into the basket and receive the ball, but was blocked by Sun Ce. Another dunk was scared by Sun Ce and turned into a pull-up shot. The Mavericks only scored one point in half a quarter, plus Marion's long two-point shot.

However, the Mavericks also did a good job in defense. When Randolph fell to the low post, Chandler retreated. The Grizzlies' weakest offensive threat was Gasol. As long as Randolph received the ball, Chandler retreated. If Randolph passed it to Gasol, Chandler would rush out again. If he could make up for it, he would make up for it. If he couldn't make up for it, he would forget it. He let Gasol shoot and didn't give Randolph a chance to play in the low post.

Nowitzki's defense focused on positioning and didn't go for rebounds. Chandler had good rebounding skills, so Sun Ce didn't have much chance to rush for rebounds.

However, this was also expected by the Grizzlies. In the last game, if Sun Ce didn't play alone, they also defended Randolph in this way.

Gasol made a mid-range shot at the beginning, which was not bad. After all, Chandler frantically made physical contact with Gasol before Randolph got to the position, which consumed Gasol's touch.

In the two shots that Gasol missed, Randolph struggled to grab the rebound, causing Nowitzki to foul. Coach Hollins took advantage of the dead ball to replace Nash with Tony Allen.

Sun Ce started to control the ball. His singles were a huge threat. The points scored in the last game made the Mavericks dare not let him play singles like in the last game. They began to rely on Conley, DeShawn Stevenson, Marion, and Chandler's super high-speed rotation defense to double-team Sun Ce's mid-range shots and high-speed changes below the free throw line. Tony Allen and Gasol Jr. got a lot of opportunities to cut in, and Paul George also had shooting opportunities.

Relying on the threat in the last game, Sun Ce got a rebound, assists and blocks in the first half of the quarter, helping the team to score points in minutes.

When Conley lobbed the ball to Chandler who cut in, Chandler was interfered by Sun Ce and didn't receive the ball, and the ball went out of bounds and entered the official timeout, the Grizzlies led the Mavericks by more than 10 points!

…

Returning to the bench, Sun Ce heard Coach Hollins call his and Nash's names at the same time, and also called Jordan Jr., Yi Jianlian, and Klay Thompson, and knew that he would play run-and-gun next.

That is, the planned tactics are about to be implemented!

Nash pulled the four teammates who were about to play together and emphasized that the counterattack must be quick and that they must run more wildly against Yao Ming. After the timeout ended, the referee signaled the players of both teams to play.

Sure enough, Sun Ce saw the opponent sending out Conley, Delonte West, Marion, Brandon Knight, and Yao Ming.

The Grizzlies had the ball in the frontcourt. Sun Ce passed the ball to Nash and quickly cut into the inside. Jordan went out to screen Nash. Yao Ming did not go out. It was Brandon Knight who went out.

After Sun Ce cut into the inside, Yi Jianlian helped Sun Ce block Marion who was chasing him. Sun Ce went around the baseline and Yao Ming followed him. Nash screened and passed the ball to Jordan who cut in. Conley could not hold it. Jordan cut into the inside and received the ball and slammed it down to score two points.

Marion watched Jordan take off under Nash's command, and his shadow was full of him.

If he was five years younger, he would definitely jump up and block this guy. Unfortunately, he can't jump that high now.

In the transition of offense and defense, Yao Ming fell to the low post excitedly. Seeing Jordan defending him, he decisively squatted in the inside and did not come out.

It takes some effort to play against Gasol, and to play against the noble player Jordan... Yao Ming said that another noble player should play together! Yao can play two!

After one round, Coach Hollins called a timeout when Yi Jianlian fouled Yao Ming and sent him to the free throw line, and replaced Randolph.

Let's go to the positional battle... Watching Yao Ming effortlessly help the Mavericks hit shots in consecutive rounds, and even caused a foul in the first round. If it weren't for Yi Jianlian's heavy foul, they would have almost been scored +!

The Grizzlies played very well in this round, scoring points, Jordan made a slam dunk, Nash made a three-pointer, and Klay Thompson made a three-pointer after receiving the ball. Only Sun Ce's counterattack shot under the basket was interfered by Brandon Knight and didn't go in.

But the opponent's first attack was all successful!

Yao Ming started with a low-post single-handed dunk over Jordan, who had no way to stop him unless he fouled. The second time, Yi Jianlian double-teamed Yao Ming in advance to prevent him from passing the ball, but just as Yi Jianlian double-teamed Yao Ming, Brandon Knight rushed in, and Conley lobbed the ball to Brandon Knight for an easy dunk. The third time, Yi Jianlian continued to double-team Yao Ming, while Sun Ce retreated in advance. Marion ran to the top line when Sun Ce retreated. Conley, who was single-handed against Klay Thompson, used Marion's pick-and-roll to break into the free throw line and made a one-step jump shot to score two points.

In the fourth time, Yao Ming's brutal moment came again. Yi Jianlian didn't dare to double-team in advance. He waited for Yao Ming to receive the ball and double-teamed him. Then Yao Ming took on two players and caused Yi Jianlian to foul...

If the Grizzlies hadn't made two three-pointers, the score would have been overtaken!

In fact, if they could keep the game tense, it wouldn't be a big problem for the Grizzlies. The key is that they may not be able to compete with Yao Ming's style of play.

Carlisle was well prepared for the Grizzlies' run-and-gun. Conley, Delonte West, Marion, and Brandon Knight retreated quickly to block the basket and the wing shooters, not to block Nash or Sun Ce who were advancing. Marion and Brandon Knight relied on their athletic ability that was not inferior to Yi Jianlian and DeAndre Jordan to retreat to the basket. Nash did make a three-pointer, but Sun Ce failed to score in the counterattack.

To deal with the run-and-gun, with Yao Ming, it would be too easy if the worry of physical strength was solved.

Carlisle did not expect Yao Ming's lineup to open up the score, but to keep the tense situation.

It was as easy as Yao Ming could play against DeAndre Jordan or Yi Jianlian. They only needed to defend the basket when retreating. Could the outside shooting be as efficient as Yao Ming's strong defense against DeAndre Jordan or Yi Jianlian?

If the Grizzlies double-teamed Yao Ming in advance, it would be even better. The Mavericks could play without the run-and-gun.

Carlisle was eager for such a situation to happen. They were not the Rockets. There was no situation where Yao Ming would be run and jump by the Suns when he was tired. When the Rockets played against the Suns, when Yao Ming had physical strength, the Rockets' offense was always in full swing when he was on the court. It was just that the Rockets had nothing but two superstars. Yao Ming was not afraid of physical exhaustion now.

If the Grizzlies kept playing run-and-gun, it would be too friendly to Yao Ming. Yao Ming would not have to retreat to defense. He would just defend and block the basket. Whether the outside shots went in or not, he would not have to waste energy on the defensive end. He would devote himself to singles or contain the opponent's multi-player defense to give his teammates a chance to play.

…

Sun Ce saw the current score and Yao Ming still had two free throws. The situation was not bad.

Back on the bench, Coach Hollins did not make a substitution immediately, but called Sun Ce and Nash over and asked, "Should we continue to play like this to keep the score close, or change the positional battle lineup?"

"I think we can continue!" Sun Ce responded first.

"Yes, we can continue to consume like this and keep the score close." Nash also agreed with Sun Ce's point of view.

Although the opponent scored in four consecutive rounds, at least for the time being, they relied on Nash and Klay Thompson to keep the score with a three-pointer each. Even if Yao Ming made two free throws after the timeout, the score difference was still maintained at the official timeout, and the Grizzlies still had the ball.

It’s just that the run-and-gun attempt of this minute was not successful. This was the play that Sun Ce and Nash discussed this morning to try to deal with Yao Ming. They tried to use run-and-gun to consume Yao Ming. Who knew that the opponent was so tough? Seeing Yao Ming easily ravage the two emperors in the interior like drinking water, Sun Ce knew that this strategy did not succeed.

Yao Ming played like this, and there was no problem sitting and playing for 0 minutes. On the contrary, the Grizzlies were very likely to run for 0 minutes.

But the failure of the strategy does not mean failure. Playing like this may allow Klay Thompson, who was very self-blaming for shooting 0 three-pointers in the last quarter the day before yesterday, to get more open shooting opportunities and cultivate his touch.

Coach Hollins nodded and asked Sun Ce, "Can you hold on today?"

Sun Ce shrugged, looking indifferent.

In fact, his heart was bleeding. If he had known that he would not use Roska the night before, it would be good to get points, but he lost! And Roska is a star experience card that will definitely be greatly improved. If he had the correct tactical preparation the night before, he would definitely be able to increase the probability of winning!
