One Thousand Three Hundred and Sixty-Nine. Unexpected Suppression Target
At 5pm, Sun Ce ate something, took a break to digest the food, and started warming up with his teammates at 6pm.
Battier's words had a very obvious effect, and when his teammates regained their concentration, Sun Ce saw the buff skill prompt of "King of the Western Conference Finals", which strengthened his teammates' concentration.
At 8:10pm, Sun Ce and his teammates entered the court together.
Sure enough, many people at the scene held slogans such as "Sterling Dies" and "Sterling Get Out of NBA". Although the Clippers did not participate in this game, this is also the Clippers' home court, and tonight's game is broadcast live across the United States. The TV station will definitely give these slogans more shots and continue to hype this matter.
After Sun Ce entered the court, he kept looking at the players entering the court from the opposite side. Sure enough, Kobe seemed to be completely unaffected. Whether it was facing the pressure of their Grizzlies and the pressure of strengthening their inner role, or the Sterling incident, although he spoke fiercely on Facebook, Kobe was still fully committed in the game.
Sun Ce maliciously speculated why Kobe used Facebook this time - because it was a photo, Kobe wrote hundreds of words to condemn Sterling, if he typed words on Twitter, not to mention the word limit on Twitter, that long speech would have to be continued until next year.
But this guy is naturally strong and refuses to let his wife help him post on Twitter.
Sun Ce's attention is all on Kobe, because the Lakers' strength has a high lower limit. With the core combination of Paul + Josh Smith and a lineup of high-quality role players, this team is at least a team with 55+ wins.
But the Lakers can go further in the playoffs, that depends on Kobe, and perhaps JR Smith on the bench is also the key, this guy is occasionally a very good player.
But Paul's side, seeing Sun Ce has a sense of collapse... Meet this guy again in the Western Conference Finals!
After teaming up with Kobe, he finally made it to the Western Conference Finals. But last year he was defended by the Grizzlies, and this year he failed to beat the Grizzlies again in the regular season. Kobe was not affected, but Paul was afraid of losing again...
On Sun Ce's side, the system prompt suddenly came.
"The suppression effect of the BUFF skill King of the Western Conference Finals has been triggered, and the target of suppression is Chris Paul.
Because the host has defeated Paul in the Western Conference Finals, the suppression effect has been greatly improved."
"Huh?"
Sun Ce looked at the prompt that suddenly appeared, and then he noticed the 183-centimeter player.
Psychological suppression actually mainly affects the core players. Role players are fighting on the court. They don't play a key role in whether they are at a disadvantage or not. Those who can secure their status as high-quality role players in the NBA must have accepted their status and will not act recklessly. They know what they are doing.
The suppression effect depends on what kind of players the other core is. Kobe has a strong psychological quality, and Josh Smith is easy-going... Sun Ce thought Paul was also a player with a firm mentality, but he didn't expect the effect to work on him!
This... good news from heaven!
…
Before the game, the NBA technical officials posted slogans on the chests of the players of both teams and asked them to take a group photo.
The slogan read "Wei A Fa Mu Lei".
Americans are also formalistic, and Sun Ce has long understood this.
The Sterling incident may have an impact on the participating players, but it is only a possibility. Sun Ce did not feel that the opponent was affected. Perhaps when it came to the game, he put aside the outside interference. After all, the Lakers can get 63 wins and reach the Western Conference Finals in the playoffs, which should never be underestimated; it may also be the role of veterans such as Kobe and Jamison.
And with the example of Battier, Sun Ce felt that sometimes such things may not necessarily affect the opponent's performance,
but will make the opponent more united.
At 8:28, under the instructions of the referee, the starting players of both teams came on the court.
On the Grizzlies side, Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Paul George, Randolph, and Gasol Jr. appeared on the court.
On the Lakers side, Paul, Kobe, Metta World Peace, Josh Smith, and Jordan Hill appeared on the court.
One attack and one defense, the two teams have very different styles.
Sun Ce's attention has been focused on the game. Seeing that the opponent has stars, role players, and key players... the dream backcourt is really too strong! Sun Ce does not feel less pressure than when playing against the Spurs.
Although the system has prompted that Paul is suppressed, the opponent is undoubtedly a player with very strong psychological quality. He is currently at a psychological disadvantage, but if the opponent plays well and adjusts his emotions, the suppression effect may become nothing like Kobe.
So, treat this effect as nothing first, and play with all your strength. If you can grab a home advantage in the first two games, then you can really use this "suppression effect"!
At 8:30, the referee blew the whistle to start the game, and Sun Ce jumped with all his strength... After landing, he retreated immediately, and the Lakers attacked first.
After Jordan Hill defeated Sun Ce with a jump ball, he learned from Sun Ce to go down immediately, but Gasol, who was originally guarding the free throw line, had retreated to the three-second zone, and Sun Ce, who was retreating in the mid-range, defended, Jordan Hill's idea of creating a fast break opportunity failed.
When Sun Ce was jumping the ball, he was not worried about the opponent's fast break. His sister-in-law was standing behind him.
Paul steadily advanced to the front court, suppressing the slightest anxiety in his mind, and devoted himself to observing the opponent's position and teammates' running positions.
Facing Tony Allen's defense, he was at ease as he entered the peak of his floor flow. This year, there are as many as 4 players in the double first team, and he is one of them.
Tony Allen can't play singles, but facing Tony Allen, Paul's actions were not affected too much. He seized the opportunity and screened with Josh Smith. Josh Smith received the ball in the screen and passed it back to Paul who ran to the right side of the three-second zone. Paul faced the defense of Sun Ce and Randolph switching defense. He passed the second pass to Metta World Peace who cut in after Randolph switched defense. Metta World Peace made a close-range jump shot and scored two points.
In the first attack at the start, the Lakers played very beautifully. Kobe and Jordan Hill's spatial containment was used very well by Paul and Josh Smith.
Paul chose to pass the ball to Josh Smith in advance to assist, which also prevented himself from being covered by Sun Ce when he broke through with the ball and lost the passing space. Compared with the regular season, Paul's preparation in the playoffs is obviously more sufficient.
Attack and defense transition, the Grizzlies attacked, and Black Panda was ready to show his power!
Compared with Griffin + Motiejunas in the first round and Duncan + a defensive center in the second round, Randolph has a clear advantage in the Western Conference Finals!
Having an inside advantage against the Lakers was something that was unthinkable two years ago. The Mavericks, with three towers, had to rely on Nowitzki's explosion to have an inside advantage when facing the Lakers, but now the Lakers are no longer the Lakers of the past!
