One Thousand and Five. This Old Man Can Actually Make Progress!

This is the Western Conference Finals..."

Paul couldn't help but squat down and touch the floor. It felt so good!

It has been seven years since he entered the NBA. This is the first time he has touched the floor of the conference finals. After wandering in the two largest cities in the United States for the past two years, Paul finally found a sense of belonging.

Paul touched the floor and stood up. Listening to the manic voices of the fans, Paul is under a lot of pressure now.

Kobe has been praised to the sky recently. "The King of the Conference Finals". Paul thinks there is nothing wrong with this nickname. Kobe has never lost the conference finals, but if he loses this year, it will be very embarrassing.

There is also the wild folk customs of the Memphis people, which is exactly the same as the opposing team!

Of course, Paul doesn't think they will lose. They are in good shape now. He is still far from the best state in terms of personal aspects, but he still has Kobe and Gasol are two superstar teammates.

Watching Kobe bickering with the guy wearing the same number jersey as him at the technical table, watching the Gasol brothers compare who has bigger muscles in the middle circle, watching Artest, Odom and Randolph chatting, watching Brand and Nash, two veterans chatting happily, watching Blake and Tony Allen spitting trash talk...

This scene is so spectacular! At this time a year ago, Paul already felt that his career was going to end. Who would have thought that his luck would turn around and now his team has so many stars!

Although there is pressure, Paul is full of happiness.

In front of the technical table, Sun Ce, who was wearing equipment, said to Kobe: "People seem to want to see you and James play in the finals. Since he is going to be eliminated, why don't you be eliminated together?"

"Oh, you don't have to think so much about me, really, you young players don't have to be so tired, there is still a long future, let me play in the finals." Kobe responded to Sun Ce.

"But you will lose in the finals! You are not Jordan. "

"Give me some tactics! Don't run if you dare..."

Once again, Kobe jumped up and down, and then he ran after wiping off the magnesium powder. Sun Ce felt very excited.

Sun Ce came to the center circle. It was almost 8 o'clock and the game was about to start.

On the Grizzlies side, Tony Allen, Paul George, Randolph, and Gasol Jr. played with Sun Ce.

The Lakers sent out Paul, Kobe, Artest, Josh McRoberts, and Gasol's starting lineup.

Gasol came to the center circle and jumped with Sun Ce. He didn't dare to be careless. Although the opposing guard was not particularly good at jumping, he had enough experience in jumping after a season. He was not particularly good, but he was not bad either. He was much better than his brother.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air...

When the ball reached the highest point, Gasol jumped a beat slower, and Sun Ce touched it first. The ball was passed to the back!

Gasol received the ball, snorted and blew a breath through his nose, then passed the ball to Paul George, who pushed forward to the frontcourt and passed it to Sun Ce.

The one defending Sun Ce was Artest, so Sun Ce chose to play singles, but just as he was about to break through, he encountered Artest's fierce defense!

In the first two rounds, DeShawn Stevenson, Marion, Durant, and Sefrosa, the four main defenders of Sun's opponent, all relied on technical defense. When they met the Lakers, the style of the game changed suddenly!

Fortunately, Sun Ce was mentally prepared. He followed Artest to the right side of the three-second zone and turned to lean against Artest.

Artest was too familiar with this style of play. It was a breakthrough and back-to-back action that a teammate had often used in the past three years! He rushed over quickly, but was still a beat late.

Sun Ce leaned against Artest and turned over to jump shot directly. After taking off, he went back in the air Slid out... Kobe immediately let go of Paul George and double-teamed Sun Ce when he approached Artest.

But it was a beat too late. After two rounds of the series, Sun Ce's speed in the turnaround was getting faster and faster. Kobe moved in advance to guard against Sun Ce's bounce speed, but he didn't expect that Sun Ce would improve again in the playoffs. He became more and more proficient in the turnaround, and... jumped higher than expected!

Artest failed to keep up with Sun Ce's turnaround jump shot. Kobe, who came to defend, also improved a little because Sun Ce had improved a little in all aspects. Although they didn't have much effect when taken alone, they just made Kobe's defense ineffective.

One-on-two high-post back-to-back turnaround jump shot!

Use Kobe's tricks to deal with Kobe! Last year, Sun Ce had to use the star experience card to do it. Now, he can do it directly when the opponent is not prepared!

Kobe version The King of High Post-Up 1 level increases the bounce speed to A+, and the King of Jordan-version Turnaround Jump Shot increases the bounce height to A-. Sun Ce avoided Kobe's defense with a high post-up turnaround jump shot that was slightly different from the last time he played against the Lakers!

Sun Ce ran back to the backcourt excitedly and prepared for defense.

Unlike Sun Ce who played a single game, the Lakers started a team offense mode, with Paul as the main point guard, Gasol as the transfer, Kobe running and shooting, and the two forwards looking for opportunities to cut in or shoot.

Kobe did not compete with Sun Ce, to be precise, he did not want to be consumed by Tony Allen. He used running and receiving the ball from his teammates. After receiving the ball from Paul, he saw Sun Ce coming to defend. Kobe dribbled the ball, attracted the attention of Sun Ce and Tony Allen who was around the pick-and-roll, and then passed the ball to the middle. Artest received the ball and cut into the inside line and made a tough layup!

After scoring, the Lakers quickly retreated.

Sun Ce received the serve and pushed forward. Just now, the Lakers' offense seemed to use the off-ball pick-and-roll to create opportunities for mid-range, but in fact, it was to create opportunities for cutting in. The last pass was from Kobe, who could turn the prepared pass into a shot at any time, so he had such a huge defensive restraint... Looking at Mike Brown on the Lakers' bench, Sun Ce was sure that this was definitely not the tactic this guy wanted.

Because they also had similar tactics, but his personal ability was not as good as Kobe, so he couldn't play it for the time being. This tactic was proposed by their own assistant coach, Little Bickerstaff, and the opposite Lakers had an assistant coach named Bernie Bickerstaff...

At the beginning, both teams scored one goal each, and their playing styles were very different. The Grizzlies played singles, and the Lakers relied on the team.

After playing for a while, the Lakers had a clear advantage, and their offensive success rate was better. The defensive effect of the Grizzlies did not reach the ideal state.

The consumption tactic did not succeed!

Kobe was determined to play without the ball, which made it impossible for the Grizzlies to complete a key defensive goal, that is, Tony Allen could not have a good consumption effect on Kobe.

After 4 and a half minutes of the first quarter, the Grizzlies called a timeout early.

It was so difficult!

Sun Ce was a little overwhelmed when he returned to the bench. Compared with the second round series against the Spurs, Kobe's off-ball movement was more experienced and he played better. He could still improve at this age!
