One Thousand Three Hundred and Five. Mad Dog Bay
But now he is full of desire for shooting. Every time he uses Kobe, he feels that he can definitely make a shot.
After more than 4 minutes in the first quarter, the Grizzlies were beaten by the Spurs 13 to 8!
Except for the opening dunk, Sun Ce missed all the next 4 shots. Fortunately, Randolph grabbed 2 offensive rebounds, scored one himself, passed to Paul George and scored a three-pointer. Paul George also stole the ball from Danny Green and made a foul. He made one of two free throws, and the Grizzlies got 8 points.
Seeing the score difference being pulled to 5 points, Coach Hollins called a timeout.
It is not a big deal to get 8 points in more than 4 minutes at ordinary times, but it is completely different when the opponent is the Spurs. This is the second-highest average score this season, the first-highest average score in the first quarter, and the leading super team!
Sun Ce is extremely obsessed with shooting, and Coach Hollins chose to wait. They need Sun Ce to score. Now Randolph is on the court, with offensive rebounds guaranteed, so they can play like this first and wait for Sun Ce to find his touch.
But it needs to be adjusted.
Gasol and Klay Thompson were replaced. The opponent rarely attacked the basket, and there was no pure running shooter. When there was no ball, they kept picking and rolling. When the opponent was at his most energetic, the defensive effect of the two was greatly limited. The physical strength of the two could not be wasted at this time when they could not defend.
Tonight, Coach Hollins put Prince on the inactive list, and Beverly was put on the active list.
The lineup of Beverly, Sun Ce, Paul George, Randolph, and Larry Sanders played.
Enhance the impact of offensive rebounds, speed up the pace... and use Mad Dog Bay to defend Parker!
…
After the timeout, the Spurs replaced Kwame Brown with Split. The two centers took turns to play, always maintaining the strongest mobility.
Sun Ce returned to the court. During the timeout just now, the game was interrupted. He clearly felt that he had suffered the influence of "stubbornness level 5", just like the influence of "wasteful shooting" when using Curryka.
However, when they entered the game, they were not so calm. They didn't care about his stubbornness and his habit of shooting wildly. What they thought was - if they couldn't make the shot before, how could they keep missing it? They were just a little bit short just now.
So, this shot was a little bit short again. Sun Ce missed the three-pointer from the top of the arc against Gay!
Duncan defended the defensive rebound this time.
He is very motivated now. He wants to play like this, widen the gap, and establish an advantage in the first quarter!
They defeated the Grizzlies twice, both times creating a lead of more than 10 points in the first quarter.
And the lead must be more than 10 points. The last time they played against the Grizzlies, they led by 11 points in the first quarter, and they were almost overturned in the end.
When you have an advantage, you must expand it!
Parker received a pass from Duncan and advanced quickly. The Spurs pressed forward as a whole, but Parker reached the midline and did not encounter Sun Ce's blockade. The person defending him became an older rookie!
Parker didn't care about Beverley, who was nicknamed Mad Dog Bay, and wanted to use the mid-line acceleration that Sun Ce used in his rookie season to get rid of Beverley directly, and then tear the Grizzlies' defense apart.
Sun Ce rarely uses this trick, because his teammates may not be able to keep up... or even have a high probability of not being able to keep up.
But the Spurs are fine, their team offensive coordination is one of the best in the league.
However, just when Parker passed the midline and started to speed up, he encountered Beverley's fierce confrontation!
Beverley cut down with a slap as if he was going to hit someone, fierce, fast, and accurate! It just hit the ball that Parker quickly slapped down and bounced up in a panic!
Parker reacted quickly, the ball was cut off, and he rushed over, but Beverley was even crazier, following the action of cutting the ball, and grabbed the ball on all fours, and got the ball first!
Sun Ce just followed Danny Green around the top arc and immediately ran towards the midline. Beverley and Parker, who fell to the ground, entangled and threw the ball out, and Sun Ce took the opportunity to counterattack!
Parker, bent over, chased the ball in the direction it flew, but stopped just after running through the center circle. It was Sun Ce who counterattacked... He tried his best to catch up, and even though he caught up, he couldn't interfere with Sun Ce's counterattack and attack the basket...
Sun Ce rushed to the basket, jumped, turned 360 degrees, and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.
The fans cheered for Sun Ce. In their opinion, Sun Ce's dunk tonight was good! Both dunks were beautiful, not as straight as usual.
But the applause of the fans was mostly for Beverley.
Tony's defense was fierce enough, right? But compared with Beverley, it seemed very ordinary. It's not a question of strength or not, but the fierceness! There is still a clear difference between being very fierce and being extremely fierce.
Beverley changed the rhythm of the game when he came on! Just like Sun Ce said at the beginning of the season, Beverley came on the court to lead the defense!
Parker was startled by Beverley, but he had seen a lot of storms and waves. Bowen had been his teammate for many years. He adjusted himself when he ran back to receive the serve and pushed forward. This time, he encountered Beverley's defense when he pushed through half court. He did not panic and pushed forward steadily to the three-point line.
Parker wanted to play pick-and-roll, but he found that Beverley was different from other defenders. He seemed to be completely indifferent to the team and kept making physical contact.
This made Parker very uncomfortable. Others generally did not dare to defend him like this. Even if they were fast enough, they would not stick to him because his breakthrough was very powerful.
But when he really met a defensive player like Beverley, Parker also had a headache.
Duncan quickly went up to screen and roll, Parker used the screen and roll to get close to attract Larry Sanders to assist in defense and quickly passed the ball to Split, who bent over to avoid Sun Ce's shrinking block and scored two points with a layup.
Split and Kwame Brown are two centers. The latter has much stronger overall defense, but the former has a better sense of eating cakes on the basis of good defense under the basket. They each have their own characteristics.
The adjustment of the Grizzlies played a certain role, such as the consumption of Parker. Parker is also 30 years old. His physical strength is not bad, but it is not particularly good. His excellent physical strength distribution ability allows him to be the most stable scorer and organizer of the Spurs' outside line when Ginobili cannot maintain continuity.
But who would have thought that he would meet an opponent like Beverley?
Indeed, Beverley's reckless defense allows Parker to organize the offense more easily after the screen and roll, which is impossible when facing Sun Ce's defense. Sun Ce has better awareness of going around the screen and space.
But Parker also played more tired than when Sun Ce was defending.
Fortunately, the Spurs had an extremely obvious advantage on both offense and defense under the current system and when Duncan was at his most energetic, the Spurs successfully widened the gap to double digits at 10:06 in the first quarter!
