I Don’t Want to Be the Boss

One Thousand One Hundred and Fifty-One. The Strongest Counterattack!

Here we go again!

Seeing the Grizzlies getting all excited, Irving looked at Tony Allen, Beverley, Lopez Jr., Prince, Battier, and a certain noble who were ready to fight on the sidelines... Irving's scalp was numb...

Isn't it just a beautiful one-on-two mid-range shot?

Do you have to react so strongly?

And! That guy who claims to be 192cm tall is a rookie, is it necessary to target him like this?

That's too much! Even the kids would be scared to tears!

The Hornets had 5 seconds left on the offensive time, and this fast ball had to be given to Eric Gordon. Aminu passed the ball to Eric Gordon, who singled out Klay Thompson and made a step-back jump shot.

It was 4-4, fortunately the ball was scored, but Irving felt the pressure was getting bigger and bigger...

When the Grizzlies attacked, Sun Ce passed the ball to Klay Thompson, who ran to receive the ball and tried to shoot a three-pointer against Eric Gordon but missed.

But looking back, Irving wanted to explode on the spot.

The Grizzlies' defensive strategy is very clear, and it is obviously another defensive strategy of the Grizzlies against him that he does not know. Jimmy Butler's melee defense, Jimmy Butler and Larry Sanders' top arc zone joint defense, defending his pick-and-roll, Sun Ce moving on the right side of the three-second zone, ignoring Aminu's shooting.

If Anthony Davis or Aminu cuts in and receives the ball, with Randolph's top defense and Sun Ce's assist defense and block, the efficiency of the two people's cut-in can be foreseen to be not very good.

Aminu is a defensive forward, and his A-level first-class marginal defense is very good, but his offense is really not good, pure eating cakes, and he may develop mid-range and long-range shooting in a few more years, but he is only in the third grade now.

Anthony Davis currently has a certain mid-range shot. In the first five games, he averaged 0.6 mid-range shots per game, with a hit rate of 38%, but this only played a restraining role. When the Grizzlies ignored him, he was still more effective in cutting in. It was impossible to point at him for a mid-range shot, but the Grizzlies just ignored him and bullied Anthony Davis for his lack of experience and for not being good enough at attacking the basket after receiving the ball.

As the game went on, Irving found that he could only score by relying on his and Eric Gordon's singles!

In fact, this is not bad. Klay Thompson is good at chasing and defending off-ball shooters, low-post defense and blocking fast breaks. Eric Gordon is not bad when facing Klay Thompson one-on-one.

Irving wants to single out Jimmy Butler. Although it is strenuous and inefficient, he can still score.

When the official timeout in the first quarter came, Beverly and Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Jimmy Butler, and Lopez formed a combination with strong mobility and stronger defensive pressure, and there was no way to single out!

Tony Allen defended Irving, Jimmy Butler defended Eric Gordon, and Beverley chased and blocked like a mad dog... If Jason Collins hadn't been replaced by Ryan Anderson to contain Sun Ce, the Hornets would have almost scored less than 5 points in half a quarter!

The Hornets scored 11 points in the first half, 7 points in the second half, 18 points in a single quarter!

The Grizzlies only scored 12 points in the first half of the first quarter, but in the second half, the Hornets were missing a big center under the basket, Sun Ce and Lopez Jr. or Jimmy Butler... Anyway, Sun Ce would pick and roll with whoever Anthony Davis was defending, and after pulling Anthony Davis out with a pick-and-roll, he would continuously break into the inside to score.

This has a lot to do with Sun Ce's current average of 4.1 three-pointers per game, and the opponent is afraid that he will throw it after the pick-and-roll.

In half a quarter, the Grizzlies scored 16 points. After the first quarter, the Grizzlies led by 10 points 28 to 18!

Sun Ce scored 13 points, 4 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks in a single quarter, and both blocks were given to Anthony Davis...

Irving scored 5 points with 2 of 7 shots and 1 of 2 free throws in the first quarter,

Eric Gordon scored 7 points.

Irving, who returned to the bench, felt that his mentality was about to collapse...

Hornets head coach Byron Scott did not let Irving start in the second quarter, letting him take it easy. Anthony Davis played the entire first quarter and also had to rest to divert the opponent's attention.

Teams that have young players who have entered the NBA in recent years but have not fully developed their talents now least want to face the Grizzlies. This team is simply poisonous!

The Hornets sent out a lineup of Vazquez, Rivers Jr., Roger Mason, Ryan Anderson, and Jason Smith.

On the other hand, Grizzlies head coach Hollins judged that the opponent might let the two cores rest. He was the head coach of the opponent and was also worried that these two people would be played by Sun Ce. Seeing that Sun Ce relied on the opponent's defense and played easily in the first quarter, he continued to send Sun Ce, and added Klay Thompson, Jimmy Butler, Yi Jianlian, and Lopez Jr. to play run-and-gun!

Anthony Davis is like Garnett in his youth. He is very good at counterattacks. As long as Anthony Davis goes down, the Grizzlies will play run-and-gun without hesitation.

The Hornets can't defend the Grizzlies' run-and-gun. Their young players are still in the stage of developing offense.

And the Hornets' own offense, their organizational core is restrained by Sun Ce!

Sun Ce likes technical players with ordinary athletic ability like Vazquez. He is restrained by those defensive players with enough height, long arm span, and good mobility. But on the other hand, he is relatively restrained by this type of players. For example, the effect of defending Durant alone is second only to Tony Allen and Prince in the team, but he usually doesn't do this job of single defense.

3 minutes and 59 seconds into the second quarter, Sun Ce stole the ball from Vazquez twice and bullied his old teammate.

Watching the Grizzlies take advantage of the counterattack and hit a wave of 12 to 4, after Sun Ce stole the ball for the second time and passed the ball to Klay Thompson for a three-pointer, widening the gap to 18 points, Byron Scott could only call a timeout to replace Anthony Davis and Irving. Vazquez was too prone to mistakes, averaging 2.8 turnovers in 26 minutes per game. Facing Sun Ce, he made two turnovers in less than 4 minutes. Irving was better at controlling the ball.

But after the timeout, the Grizzlies replaced Tony Allen, Prince, and Larry Sanders, and partnered with Sun Ce and Klay Thompson...

After the timeout, the Hornets played a breakthrough pass. This time Irving did not pick and roll, but directly singled Tony Allen to the mid-range. When Sun Ce double-teamed, he used Roger Mason as bait, but passed the ball to Anthony Davis who ran back and cut in. .

Sun Ce was almost deceived by Irving's sight and almost retreated to the baseline, but at this time, the advanced effect of "Food Cutoff" "Siege" was triggered when he went to double-team Irving. When Irving grabbed the ball and faked a pass to the baseline, but actually threw it to the left side of the three-second zone, Sun Ce rushed towards Anthony Davis at the same time. Anthony Davis just received the ball and took a mid-range jump shot. As soon as the ball left his hand, he was slapped away by Sun Ce who rushed over!

Anthony Davis was blocked by Sun Ce again when he came up!
