One Thousand Three Hundred and Twenty-Four. 1 Minus 2 at the Start!
Sun Ce originally wanted to be aggressive, and wanted to directly deal with the restless mood of his teammates and put them into manic mode.
But it seemed that the result was not what he expected. His teammates were very excited, but when it came to tactical training, they had very active and lively discussions. It was not like being affected by restless emotions at all. On the contrary, they were calmer than before...
"Why do things always develop differently than I thought? Forget it, this is a good thing..." Sun Ce also actively participated in the final preparations.
Coach Hollins, who was directing the training, was not disturbed when he heard Sun Ce's passionate speech outside the training ground like a leader of the Communist Party in World War II. He could guess what Sun Ce would choose.
However, the result made Coach Hollins feel ups and downs in his heart - Why is this damn kid so unexpected every time?
…
"Chaoting TV, Chaoting TV, this is the first game of the playoffs between the defending champion Grizzlies and the Los Angeles Clippers brought to you by the Chaoting TV Sports Channel..."
"The defending champion encounters a nemesis, the Grizzlies' defending season playoffs are about to begin, this is ESPN London..."
"Welcome to Turner TV Sports Channel's live broadcast of the first round of the NBA playoffs... Hey, Charles, why didn't you grab the line this time? Oh, by the way, you hate commentating on championship team games, but unfortunately I can't To feel what you feel, I have a ring…”
Along with the pre-game opening remarks from major TV stations, players from the Grizzlies and Clippers teams have already entered the FedEx Arena.
There wasn't much grudge before, and the Tyrannosaurus Rex had always been bullied by the Grizzlies' interior group in the past two years. There was no grudge between the two teams this year, but now, the two teams feel like mortal enemies.
Griffin entered the game with strong confidence. This year, he played the power forward position second only to Duncan!
He averaged 25.2 points, 12.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.4 steals per game, becoming one of the few inside players to average 25+ points per game.
But after the Grizzlies players entered the court, Griffin felt the malice he had felt every time he played against the Grizzlies in the previous two seasons...
But Griffin didn't give up! Now his teammates are also very strong!
After entering the venue, Sun Ce first high-fived Lily Collins, Zu Ge, and little Gohan... Little Gohan couldn't do it, so Sun Ce grabbed his hand and forced him to high-five. The three of them did not sit in the first row this time, but sat in the fourth row. s position.

Sun Ce took a look at the 11-man rotation of the Clippers. Generally speaking, it is very good. However, the addition of a master of organization and offense like Rondo, who leads the team in assists, is the key to the Clippers' performance.
In Sun Ce's view, not only is Clippers head coach Negro good at point guards, he was the one who trained Rose in the two years before Rose, but was picked by Thibodeau in the summer of 2010. It's a peach. The originally steady and steady way of training Rose was turned into a deadly method by Thibodeau.
There was little communication before the game. Sun Ce returned to the bench. In the first game tonight, if he wants to ensure a sweep, he must show his momentum!
How to create momentum? To be honest, the Grizzlies are not the type of team that can play with momentum, so Sun Ce is ready to cheat!
…
Soon, at 6:58 pm, the referee signaled the two teams to start.
The Grizzlies made a starting adjustment tonight. It was a starting adjustment that everyone discussed together. The starting lineup of Nash, Sun Ce, Paul George, Randolph, and Larry Sanders appeared.
There was no need to jump the ball tonight. Sun Ce came to the side of the midline and got close to Caron Butler. He obviously felt that Caron Butler was very excited.
Because in the past two games, Caron Butler "guarded" him.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. Larry Sanders defeated Motiejunas to win the jump ball. Nash received the ball and the Grizzlies attacked with all their strength. !
With Rondo at his peak, the overall defense will not be bad. His defensive command and prediction skills are very good. The Clippers quickly retreated from defense, mainly defending Paul George and Nash's three-pointers, Yi Jianlian and Larry- Sanders cuts in.
Sun Ce failed to cut into the paint when he made a quick move. When he stayed on the left side of the top arc, it was Caron Butler, a famous defensive black hole, who defended Sun Ce alone.
Originally, he wanted to directly ask for the ball in singles. If he fell into a positional battle, it would be either him or Randolph. But after thinking about it, Sun Ce didn't just get the pick-and-roll skills. Sun Ce went up to help Nash block Rondo.
Sun Ce's blocking is not very good. Rondo's ability to control the position can be seen from his ability to steal boards. In the regular season, Nash + Lopez or Yi Jianlian's pick-and-roll did not get good results from Rondo's defense. Of course , is Nash, who is now 39 years old.
But Caron Butler, who cooperated with the pick-and-roll, didn't defend well. He moved laterally and only blocked the area where Sun Ce shot a three-pointer. When Sun Ce blocked Rondo, the system prompt came and he immediately chose to cut in!
Griffin followed Rondo, a strict leader, and his defense was not only not bad, but it was okay, at the quasi-first-class level of B+, and his lateral movement was quite fast. He guessed that Sun Ce might rely on speed to cut in, so he let go of Larry Sanders in advance to move up to block Sun Ce. Motiejunas, who was 213 cm tall, could not expand under the basket, but the height under the basket was enough, so Griffin could safely let go of Larry Sanders who did not shoot.
But... Sun Ce's cutting speed was faster than Griffin expected! It seemed to be slightly faster than Rondo!
Originally, Sun Ce's cutting was almost not affected by Caron Butler, and it was faster than Griffin remembered. Sun Ce and Griffin who came up just passed by, and Griffin could not stop him!
Sun Ce entered the low post area under the basket, and Nash's pass came at the right time. When Sun Ce entered the basket and stuck together with Motiejunas, he just received the ball.
Motiejunas's defense under the basket is really good. Although he has no ability to expand, Motiejunas has not lost the Lithuanian tradition of defense under the basket. He covered Sun Ce's shooting space. Sun Ce shook Motiejunas for a while, but he didn't fall for it. However, Griffin, who failed to block Sun Ce, got anxious when he came in to double-team him, and took off directly, triggering Sun Ce's "King Dunk"!
Griffin made Sun Ce have a chance even though he had no chance. Sun Ce took a step to the right sideline of the three-second zone and turned around. With Motiejunas following closely, he jumped up on the spot and smashed the ball into the basket!
