One Thousand Three Hundred and Seventy-Three. Unfavorable Situation

34 to 28, the Lakers performed very fiercely in the second quarter.

Back in the locker room, Sun Ce was exhausted and stood on the bathroom sink again to think.

Fortunately, he worked hard in the first quarter to create a 5-point lead, otherwise he would be in an extremely passive situation after halftime.

Although the Lakers were not as strong as the Spurs in the first quarter, the Lakers had stronger continuity than the Spurs! The average of 112 points per game in the regular season was not given for nothing. The Lakers' deep rotation lineup allowed them to maintain efficient scoring throughout the whole process.

Sun Ce vaguely felt that the defensive play in the first half of the first quarter was the right one.

But this is hindsight. When the game reaches this situation, we have to think about the response method based on the current situation.

The Lakers had adjusted the offensive rhythm in the second half of the first quarter by rotation. Kobe and others went down to rest and came back to feel their hands.

Then in the third quarter, we still have to fight for offense, and this quarter is very critical!

Sun Ce played 22 minutes in the first half, scored 12 points in the first quarter, 7 points in the second quarter, a total of 19 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal. He scored 12 points in the first quarter, mainly because he led the team to a 10-0 wave, which gave him a lot of passing opportunities.

I opened the props section and saw that the three-point chance was not very good tonight. He made 2 of 6 three-pointers in the first half, so Sun Ce passed the "Three-point Contest Champion Card".

The 1990 Three-point Contest Participation Card, this may be very powerful, and you may get Bird or Boss Joe, but it may also be very bad... This is only the first game of the Western Conference Finals, and it is not time to gamble your life.

And it is not the case against the Spurs. In the first game against the Spurs, there was a clear advantage. The failure to give the Spurs an advantage against the Spurs is the advantage of the Grizzlies.

But the Lakers are the team with the strongest offensive continuity this season.

Forget about the turtle card, which will be targeted in the playoffs. Sun Ce chose the Spurs 12-13 season card or the Lakers 12-13 season card.

This is the card obtained by defeating the Grizzlies when they played against these two teams and the two teams happened to be the first in the West.

"I hope to draw Gay, Uncle Learning Machine, use the Spurs card!"

"Host uses the Spurs 2012-2013 season random player star experience card, randomly drawing..."

Sun Ce saw the animated pictures of all the Spurs players this season, which appeared randomly at the front.

Gay is fine, Duncan is fine,

Sun Ce silently recited the names of the two in his heart, but three seconds later, the animated picture left on the system screen was Ginobili breaking through with a snake-like step!

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining Manu Ginobili's 2012-2013 version of the star experience card, with an ability rating of B+... a match of 65%..."

"Because the host has the skill card: Demon Sword Unsheathed, the match is increased by 20%.

Because the host has the skill card: Left-handed Shooting, the match is increased by 20% using the left-handed player star experience card.

It has reached 100% match, which will not affect the host's own ability and retain the greatest characteristics of the two.

Matching bonus..."

Looking at the old version of Ginobili's regular state of pitfalls, Sun Ce was about to spit out a mouthful of blood!

100% match... This is good news, but the current Ginobili is almost inferior to him in all aspects. Ginobili has the inside European step, and he also has the acceleration and change of direction during the march, which are all techniques that consume a lot of physical strength.

The most important thing is that Ginobili's endurance rating is B+... Yao Ming-level endurance!

...

It is much better than randomly getting a player with a low match that affects one's own ability, Sun Ce comforted himself.

After wiping off the sweat and changing into a clean jersey, during the halftime break, Coach Hollins prepared to send out Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Randolph, and Gasol to slow down the pace and play positional warfare at the beginning of the third quarter.

This gave Sun Ce some confidence.

"Host temporary ability evaluation A+

Physical fitness A+: speed S-, strength A, core strength S-level, endurance B+, bounce B, static confrontation A, leg explosive power A+ (explosive acceleration, bounce speed), explosive confrontation ability A+...

Shooting evaluation A: three-pointer A (right sideline three-pointer A-, left sideline left-handed three-pointer A-, top arc three-pointer A), mid-range shot A (mid-range shot on the right side of the baseline A+, mid-range shot in front of the basket A+, mid-range shot on the right side of the three-second zone A+, left-handed mid-range shot on the left side of the three-second zone B+, left-handed mid-range shot on the left side of the three-second zone Left baseline A-), right-hand layup A+, left-hand layup A+...

Technical evaluation A: left-handed ball control A+, right-handed ball control A+, passing A, pick-and-roll jump shot A-, dribble shot A, pull-up jump shot B-, low-post back-up technique A, high-post back-up technique A, three-threat stance C, jump step C+..."

Looking at my own ability evaluation, there are some small improvements, but in summary, the changes are not big. Ginobili doesn't have much mid-range shots, and his three-pointers and basket offense are not better than him, Sun, of course, I'm talking about the current Ginobili.

And physical strength...

It's better than being exhausted in the first half, isn't it?

What confused Sun Ce was that Ginobili's biggest feature, the skill of "Demon Sword", did not appear.

After the halftime break, the Grizzlies directly used the strongest lineup in terms of overall offensive and defensive strength to confront the Lakers.

On the Lakers side, the strongest starting lineup was also sent out at the beginning of the third quarter.

Kobe Bryant, who plays without the ball and outputs stably, Metta World Peace, who cuts in and shoots after losing weight and plays in the best offensive state since leaving the Rockets, Paul and Josh Smith, who are dual cores, and Jordan Hill, who can cut and shoot, and has a strong ability to eat cakes and averages 12 points and 7 rebounds.

When competing for the strongest lineup, the Lakers are not inferior to any team. It can be said that before the death of old Buss, Jeanie Buss relied on her relationship with Bynum to exchange Paul back. After gaining the upper hand in the family infighting, the Lakers' subsequent operations were not humane to Gasol and Odom, but they were indeed very good.

Jeanie Buss's operations allowed the Lakers to smoothly transition from the three-tower era to the small ball era that had begun to emerge at the end of Kobe's career.

Fortunately, Randolph performed strongly. After scoring 13 points and 8 rebounds in the first half, he continued his excellent performance in the third quarter. When Sun Ce consciously controlled his physical energy and distributed it, reduced consumption on the offensive end, and focused on defense, Randolph threatened from the low post, allowing Gasol to make good use of Paul George's three-pointers and cuts, and Klay Thompson's three-pointers while trying to slow down the pace.

The Grizzlies did a good job on defense, allowing the Lakers to score only 25 points in the third quarter, and the pace was very good, but the Lakers were not unable to adapt to this rhythm. In their lineup, Leonard rotated as the small forward, and Josh Smith and Jamison played as mini inside players at the center position. Overall, they played well, allowing the Grizzlies to score only 23 points in the third quarter!
