One Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy-Four. The Back Wave Beats the Front Wave

Not only did they not gain an advantage, but because the opponent suddenly changed their style of play, the Grizzlies were beaten 9 to 4. The Thunder scored 3 out of 5 attacks, and once they were fouled, they made two free throws!

Especially after Westbrook was replaced, Ellis immediately hit a three-pointer from the outside facing Sun Ce's single defense after the timeout, directly widening the score difference to 5 points, which led to the Thunder's small climax.

This time it was the Grizzlies' turn to call a timeout. 18 to 25, 7 points behind. According to the fierce firepower of the Thunder's double guns, if they didn't score quickly, it was really possible that they would not score in one round, and the opponent would widen the score difference to more than 10 points!

There were more than two minutes left in the first quarter, and the Thunder's 9 to 4 wave was too powerful, and they had already scored 25 points.

"Turtle actually learned to be smart. He didn't even care about the data in order to win the game. Damn it..."

Sun Ce complained in his heart when he saw Nash being replaced, and knew that his role had to be adjusted.

Coach Hollins was calm on the surface, but actually panicked inside. He replaced Nash, Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Yi Jianlian.

As the season went on, Lopez's position in the run-and-gun style was gradually replaced by Sun Ce. Since Sun Ce could get the "pick-and-roll expert" skill, which was specially added for the pick-and-roll executor, as long as he got the data king that he had never gotten before, Sun Ce consciously learned and imitated the pick-and-roll executor's skills of Lopez and Yi Jianlian.

The Grizzlies tried their best to train Sun Ce, but they didn't know how else to help Sun Ce except to find a shooting coach.

In terms of Sun Ce's ability development, compared with the growth path of other stars, the Grizzlies management and coaching staff couldn't even find an accurate template.

Therefore, the Grizzlies, from the management to the teammates, could only let Sun Ce grow wildly.

The simplest and most direct way is to create conditions for Sun Ce to develop in which direction he wants to go.

For example, after the All-Stars Weekend, Sun Ce basically locked up the rebounding champion, and began to want to develop into a pick-and-roll executor in order to use the skill of "Pick-and-Roll Expert" directly. Coach Hollins sent Sun Ce more in the run-and-gun lineup. At this stage, it fell into a positional battle, so Sun Ce was asked to help Nash with the pick-and-roll.

Sun Ce's physical conditions are indeed excellent, and he quickly mastered the play of cutting in after the pick-and-roll and pulling out to shoot.

In comparison, Larry Sanders is not as good as Sun Ce in this aspect.

…

The Thunder also made substitutions.

Nick Collison was replaced by Daniel Orton, the 2010 first-round pick with good cutting and offensive awareness, and Reggie Jackson was replaced by Fisher, who is more stable in three-point shooting, to further strengthen the offense.

Brooks knew that the Grizzlies would definitely replace Nash with the run-and-gun. At present, Ellis and Durant are so strong in singles, so naturally they have to create better offensive conditions for these two.

After the timeout, the Grizzlies, who were 7 points behind, attacked.

In the frontcourt, Nash received the ball from Paul George and advanced to the top arc. Ellis defended but was blocked by Sun Ce!

Sun Ce's identity as a pick-and-roll executor is quite unfamiliar to the Thunder. Sun Ce rarely plays like this against them. Sun Ce immediately cuts in from the middle after Nash goes around the pick-and-roll. Ellis, who switched defense, failed to block in time. Sun Ce easily received the pass from Nash in one step inside the free throw line.

Yi Jianlian quickly pulled away from the left side of the three-second zone, but Orton let go of Yi Jianlian and went to the basket.

Orton's exaggerated wingspan like Ibaka, as well as his 120-kilogram weight and quick mobility, put a lot of pressure on Sun Ce. Sun Ce received the ball and entered the inside line and shook a shot...

Orton flew directly!

He jumped directly from the left sideline of the three-second zone to the right sideline! In other words, he flew past Sun Ce!

Sun Ce originally planned to attract the defense and pass to Yi Jianlian for a mid-range shot, but was stunned by Orton's operation!

Sun Ce stood up and jumped up to shoot quickly, and scored two points before Durant could make up for it.

Sun Ce had studied the Thunder's mid-season signings. The Thunder signed Alton from the Greek league, who was abandoned by the Magic.

There was basically no footage of this player in the NBA to study, so Sun Ce watched the video of Alton's university, and his athletic ability was much more vigorous than Cousins.

However, no wonder this guy's physical fitness is almost the tonnage and strength of Ibaka, but the Magic cut him after only 16 games. His defensive awareness wasted such a good physical fitness.

Sun Ce, who was returning to defense, regretted it a little. He had a chance to play 2+1 just now, but he missed the opportunity when he faced Alton for the first time.

It was the Thunder's turn to attack. This time it was Ellis' turn to hold the ball. Fisher advanced to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Ellis, and Ellis looked for Alton to pick and roll.

On the defensive end, it was useless, but on the offensive end, Orton was really good, blocking Klay Thompson tightly. Sun Ce immediately made up for the defense in the mid-range, and Yi Jianlian immediately made up for Ibaka. There was still tacit understanding.

However, Ellis, a genuine low-post face-to-face master of accelerating and changing directions, Sun Ce felt sweat in his palms. Seeing Ellis suddenly slow down, turn around and lean over to accelerate, without a big man to cooperate with the defense under the basket, Sun Ce directly rushed in the direction of Ellis's change of direction.

After Ellis changed direction, he immediately relied on his physical fitness to change direction again, just like Sun Ce triggered the second acceleration burst after "accelerating and changing directions on the move", but Sun Ce's triggering skill was conditional, while Ellis relied on his excellent physical fitness to complete it.

However, the first time to defend Ellis without the cooperation of a big man under the basket, Sun Ce chose to block him, and he hit the mark by accident!

The level 4 acceleration change of direction was triggered during the movement. Sun Ce judged the route of Ellis' first change of direction, blocked him, and got the bonus of burst acceleration!

Almost at the same time as Ellis, Sun Ce blocked Ellis tightly in front of him!

Even though Ellis has excellent physical fitness and is still at the golden age of 27, he has been exhausted after two changes of direction. Unexpectedly, he still couldn't get rid of Sun Ce's defense!

Ellis could only force a shot, and was blocked by the bigger Sun Ce!

Yi Jianlian rushed to grab the ball blocked by Sun Ce and immediately threw it to Nash, and the Grizzlies counterattacked!

Klay Thompson caught the ball and chased the three-pointer from the sideline!

The Thunder never expected that Ellis, who was one of the best defenders in the basket, was blocked by Sun Ce alone when he rushed up! Ibaka and Alton were specially replaced to defend the counterattack. Even though Alton is not good at defense, he has good athletic ability and can still defend and block people.

But who knew that Ellis was blocked by Sun Ce!
