134. The One Wearing Size One Is Not Maddie
The Rockets have good defensive habits. As long as someone shoots on their side, the outside line will immediately retreat, and the one closest to the ball holder will interfere with the advance.
Although Lowry couldn't stop Sun Ce, letting Sun Ce change his direction helped Taylor and Ariza get the chance to get back inside the three-point line first.
After Sun Ce rushed to the frontcourt, the two blocked Sun Ce one step outside the free throw line. Sun Ce kept observing his teammates. Curry followed and cut in from the left. Sun Ce immediately gave the ball to Curry.
Ariza's offense is like Uncle Snake, and his defense is also quite similar. He immediately retreated to the basket actively.
Curry's open mid-range shot is very accurate!
In order to prevent the opponent from returning to the defensive position when entering the inside line, Curry chose a mid-range shot.
This allowed Sun Ce to have a clearer understanding of how the system judges the ability evaluation, but the system's ability evaluation is based on the current performance of the players on the court.
Just talking about mid-range shooting skills and layup skills, Curry is definitely one-on-one, and he feels great, but on the court, he is currently far inferior to Reggie Williams in mid-range and short-range shots under confrontational conditions Or Morrow.
Sun Ce remembers a very famous map of Curry’s shooting hot spots in the future. From the 14-15 season to the 19-20 season, Curry’s peak years, the number of mid-range shots was very small. The number of shots is only 3-4, and the proportion of mid-range singles shots is extremely low. The main reason is that there are too many mid-range confrontations, even more than cutting to the basket.
But in the open shot, Curry is the league's top one!
"That's the way the ball is going to be played!" Curry shook his fist excitedly.
Curry played well when Maggette was strong, but after Maggette didn't dare to rush, Curry's efficiency plummeted.
It’s not that no one told Maggette to keep going, but golf quotient is similar to IQ. Some people just insist on their own ideas no matter what they say, right or wrong, without even thinking about it.
Now that Sun Ce can contain the defense, Curry feels like he is alive again!
Sun Ce's counterattack and breakthrough to score the goal this time was amazing, especially the acceleration after pulling Lowry away from the backcourt exceeded the expectations of the fans on the scene.
It may be that the Rockets said that Ariza is their new core. Ariza's self-confidence is very impressive. After advancing to the frontcourt, he continued to ask for the ball to single Morrow.
To say that Morrow's defense is... average,
Fairly average, but Ariza has no skills at all.
Ariza tried his best to tell himself that he was the core, but after getting the ball, he didn't know how to play. After a long time, he made another three-pointer...
"Kang..."
The unboxing expert is here!
This time Randolph jammed David Anderson, in prime position for the rebound, and just as he was about to jump up for the rebound, a teammate in the No. 3 jersey threw himself into the air, twisting The body grabs the rebound!
"How did this kid jump so high?"
Under Randolph's astonished gaze, Sun Ce grabbed the rebound and fought back!
Old Nelson was very surprised when he saw Sun Ce's excellent rebound prediction and his sudden explosive bounce and explosive speed: "This rookie can still play like this?"
Sun Ce looked at Curry from time to time during the counterattack. The Rockets retreated. Ariza and Taylor retreated to the inside first. After so many preseason games, they already knew that Sun Ce had no shooting ability and a fast outside line. Take back the inside line first.
The use of eyes in the game is very effective in organizing the small details of the offense. Sun Ce kept looking at Curry, and Landry, who retreated slower, went to block Curry. When Sun Ce led Lowry to the top arc, he suddenly turned The ball goes to the right!
Anthony Morrow!
Anthony Morrow's running catch 3... misses!
But Reggie Williams who followed up smashed the ball into the basket through Ariza!
It really hit the ground running!
Old Nelson didn't expect that when he sent experienced players, he didn't play running and bombing, and sent three first-year and two second-year pure training young players to the lineup, and he actually played running and bombing!
Not only that, Ariza hit two irons in a row, and his mentality was a little out of balance. When Reggie Williams dunked the ball into the basket, he pushed Reggie Williams. -Williams made a defensive foul, and if the goal is valid, a penalty will be added!
24 to 33, the point difference narrowed to 9 points!
It's a pity that Reggie Williams may have hurt his hand on the dunk, and the extra penalty was so crooked that he didn't make it.
Immediately afterwards, Lowry did not give the ball to Ariza, but gave the ball to Landry after he broke through. Landry dunked the ball across Reggie Williams.
The opponent's inside line is so weak and it's so easy to hit the inside line. Lowry can't understand why Ariza wants to float outside to shoot, and he agreed to replace Tracy McGrady's new core? Lowry felt that Ariza was so weak!
The opponent made a shot and couldn't counterattack. Sun Ce was not in a hurry. He couldn't grab the rebound and counterattack every time, no. If you are so lucky, you will get 20 to 30 counterattack opportunities in a game.
With a small lineup, it is not bad to fall into positional battles. Sun Ce quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and his teammates ran very fast.
When Sun Ce went beyond the three-point line, the defender changed and became Ariza.
Lowry looked down on Ariza's offense, and Ariza despaired of Lowry's defense.
Just too much!
Although he has A-level strength temporarily, but his weight is too light, he can only take a step back when encountering Ariza's defense against Sun Ce. At this time, Randolph has a tacit understanding to block Ariza, and Sun Ce takes the opportunity to break through!
Sun Ce's height has an S-level speed, which is really amazing! The opponent's other defenders couldn't help looking at Sun Ce. Curry took the opportunity to go around the bottom corner, and Sun Ce immediately passed the ball... Curry caught the ball and made a three-pointer!
7 to 2!
27 to 35, the point difference narrowed to 8 points!
Sun Ce scored 2 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists!
When Sun Ce ran back and passed beside Ariza, he pretended to mutter casually: "I thought everyone who wore No. 1 was McGrady..."
Ariza panicked!
It's not as good as a rookie in the second round!
Sun Ce's words pierced Ariza's heart like a knife.
In the summer, when he and Artest switched clubs and came to the Rockets, McGrady happened to change jerseys. Morey gave him the No. 1 jersey. He was very excited at the time, but as soon as this matter was announced, he was criticized by the media and fans , saying that he does not deserve to wear the No. 1 jersey worn by Tracy McGrady.
McGrady has a lot of fans. He was an All-Star starter before he went to the Rockets. Many fans hope that the Rockets will retire McGrady's No. 1 jersey and attack Ariza wantonly, causing Ariza to fall into a storm of public opinion.
This time Sun Ce opened Ariza's wound again...
Ariza quickly ran to the frontcourt, relying on Morrow to ask Lowry for the ball! Just now Lowry didn't pass the ball to him, and Ariza almost yelled at his teammates.
Lowry was so desperate, how could he meet such a teammate who didn't know himself!
