One Thousand and Eighty-Eight. Shadow Assassin Black Mamba

In today's game, Sun Ce did not see Kobe scolding anyone. He did not want to show himself in front of opponents, fans, or even teammates as ostentatiously as in the past.

Kobe is now like a venomous snake hidden in the shadows. On the defensive end, he has to reduce physical input, so he will defend the opponent's fixed-point shooter.

On the offensive end, he rarely participates in ball control, trying his best to hide himself, so that the opponent ignores his huge threat. When he finds an opportunity, he is ready to bite the opponent to death!

This feeling makes Sun Ce feel very awkward. In the past, Kobe wanted to strip off his clothes and pants just to be in the spotlight, but now Kobe...

Nash and Sun Ce worked very hard. Klay Thompson and Paul George, who replaced Larry Sanders in the second quarter, and Yi Jianlian all tried hard to score and keep the score difference very tight.

Sun Ce once forgot that Kobe was on the court. He had never seen such a low-key Kobe, but Kobe suddenly scored 8 points in a row, and the score difference suddenly widened to 10 points!

Back on the bench, Sun Ce looked at his own data: 4 of 10 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 2 of 3 free throws, 12 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks... What kind of data is this? His team only scored 26 points in more than one quarter, and he alone scored 12 points.

On the Lakers side, Kobe also scored 13 points quietly, but the Lakers scored 36 points as a team.

Sun Ce analyzed it and said that Kobe relied on his own containment and ran with a defensive player, allowing Paul to lead the team 4 vs. 4, which was not only easier than 5 vs. 5, but when Paul couldn't organize the offense well and couldn't open the situation, Kobe would make another effort...

This guard combination is really a dream combination!

Coach Hollins saw Sun Ce coming back and patted his arm. Sun Ce knew what the other party meant and nodded, indicating that he would continue to play.

Coach Hollins felt more at ease. Nash was the foundation for maintaining the offense. Sun Ce had thrown five three-pointers so far and made two of them, with a 40% three-point shooting rate. His performance was the key for the Grizzlies to compete with the Lakers before Kobe started to exert his strength.

Replace Nash with Tony Allen, Paul George, and Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, and Larry Sanders. Coach Hollins was ready to continue playing defense.

It felt like returning to the 10-11 season, with defense first and offense depending on luck...

...

With Tony and Paul George on the court, Sun Ce felt that there was no problem on the defensive end. There was also Klay, a first-class marginal defense, and Larry Sanders, a first-class defense, who could defend the opponent to death!

But we had to play offense well first.

After the timeout, the Lakers replaced Blake, Kobe, Earl Clark, Jamison, and Jordan Hill.

The Grizzlies had the ball in the frontcourt. Paul George passed the ball to Sun Ce. Sun Ce received the ball and Earl Clark from the same class came up to defend.

Earl Clark, whose model was Odom, did have physical qualities similar to Odom. Although his skills were far inferior to Odom, his physical qualities were very similar to those of Odom in his early years. He was tall and fast and could defend from the second position to the fourth position. His height of 208 cm put a lot of pressure on Sun Ce.

The pick-and-roll and direct jump shot with Tony Allen did not work. After playing once in the first quarter, as long as Sun Ce and Tony Allen had a pick-and-roll, the opponent would double-team him, and Tony Allen's ability to finish directly at the basket was very poor.

Sun Ce signaled Tony Allen to cut inside to contain Kobe, and at the same time waved to Klay Thompson for a pick-and-roll.

Klay Thompson helped Sun Ce block Earl Clark. After Sun Ce used the pick-and-roll, the opponent did not dare to double-team. Klay Thompson was the three-point king of the Grizzlies last season.

Sun Ce is now fearless. When Blake rushed over after switching defense, Sun Ce directly faced Blake and shot a three-pointer...

"Ball-holding pick-and-roll expert level 3 is triggered. The host's three-point evaluation will be temporarily increased by two small grades to A+ when shooting a three-pointer after this pick-and-roll..."

The three-pointer from the top arc and the right side hit the inside of the basket and bounced into the frame!

It was close!

Sun Ce's heart trembled when he scored a goal.

Fortunately, his accuracy was good enough. Obviously, the shot after dribbling the ball after the pick-and-roll had a little effect on his strength. Even if it was just a little bit, he almost didn't score!

After scoring, Sun Ce quickly retreated. After retreating to the backcourt, Sun Ce found a problem.

Klay Thompson defended Blake, Paul George defended Earl Clark, Tony Allen defended Kobe, Larry Sanders defended Jordan Hill...

"Fuck!"

Sun Ce retreated to the mid-range and saw Jamison, who had served the ball to Blake, running close to the three-point line. He could only expand to defend Jamison.

He thought it was Paul George who was going to defend Jamison! This bastard actually escaped!

Seeing that it was Sun Ce defending Jamison, Blake immediately passed the ball to Jamison.

Sun Ce immediately switched to the mode of defending the inside line, and James' balance bracelet effect was triggered, perfectly moving to the fourth position. Sun Ce's original experience and memory of defending the fourth position immediately took the lead and entered the fourth position defense state.

However, Jamison dribbled the ball without singles, Blake pulled to the sideline, Kobe blocked Tony Allen from the bottom line with the help of Jordan Hill, and then burst out with acceleration. Jamison's passing ability is also good, and he quickly passed the ball. Kobe received the ball in one step inside the three-point line, turned 180 degrees and shot a three-pointer...

Paul George, who was defending, tried very hard, but No. 24 did not defend No. 24, and Kobe received the ball and turned to make a mid-range jump shot!

If Sun Ce was not restrained, Kobe would quietly stay on the sideline to contain him. When Sun Ce was restrained by Jamison and the Grizzlies' ability to assist and switch defenses became weaker, Kobe immediately showed off his fangs!

Paul George's single defense is stronger than Sun Ce, equal to Klay Thompson, and weaker than Tony Allen. His assist defense is stronger than Klay Thompson and Tony Allen, but weaker than Sun Ce. Kobe took advantage of this!

Sun Ce felt like his brain was going to explode!

Kobe has become a traffic commander on the defensive end, which is considered invisible. Although he will not become a defensive vulnerability, he is not as eager to show himself on the defensive end as before, so Kobe becomes less eye-catching...

But Kobe is like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, ready to bite at any time!

He didn't have a good chance to counterattack. When Kobe shot, Sun Ce had no chance to cover up, so he chose to shrink in directly. The opponent didn't even grab the offensive rebound and retreated to defense. When Sun Ce received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt, the opponent was already in position to defend. .

Originally, with Randolph playing in isolation, it didn't matter if he was struggling defensively. But now that Randolph has to wait until after the All-Star weekend to get back to his form, Sun Ce became disheartened when he saw the opponent's defense and continued to look for Klay Thompson to pick and roll, and there was a chance. Break through and enter, and throw wildly at mid-to-long distance if there is no chance!

Sun Ce had no choice but to do it, but coach Hollins on the sidelines saw Sun Ce's style of play and thought of another No. 3...
