One Thousand Three Hundred and Seventy-Six. The Left Hand Can Do It Too!
Leonard didn't answer, and Sun Ce continued: "Then let me choose one, I'm going to break through."
Leonard was not disturbed by Sun Ce, but instead stuck closer to Sun Ce. Based on his experience of watching Sun Ce's games and matchups so many times, Sun Ce will definitely excel when he feels good.
But Sun Ce really made a breakthrough! Leonard moved very quickly. He had all the conditions to become the best defensive player. However, Leonard, who was focused entirely on Sun Ce's possible retreat, was blocked by Yi Jianlian!
There was no need for a pick-and-roll, but Yi Jianlian's tacit understanding was very good. Sun Ce used the pick-and-roll to break through. Facing Earl Clark's defense, Sun Ce moved sideways after the pick-and-roll and took a mid-range shot!
"The ball-holding pick-and-roll expert is triggered at level 4. The host chooses to take a mid-range shot within 3 seconds after borrowing the pick-and-roll. The mid-range shot ability evaluation is temporarily increased by two small levels to S level..."
"Level 3 (Nowitzki) triggers the horizontal move and step jump shot in face-to-face singles. The host's take-off of this horizontal move and step jump shot is not affected by the step..."
With Earl Clark out of position and Leonard actively rushing towards him, Sun Ce took off with all his strength and hit the mid-range shot!
Score 5 points in a row!
Sun Ce's personal score increased to 27 points, second only to Kobe's 29 points. Moreover, the Grizzlies once again narrowed the point difference and were still 3 points behind.
Full defense!
It is very important to score when the opponent has not put on the best defensive lineup and feels good, but if you can score but cannot defend, it is in vain.
Paul was shocked by Sun Ce's sudden return of touch, but he was used to it. Every time Sun Ce beat them, it didn't shake the world. He was uneasy and eager to help the team score and stabilize the current lead.
Facing Jimmy Butler's defense, Kobe felt the pressure. He didn't care about Sun Ce's scoring. He was also used to playing under the pressure brought by Sun Ce's explosion. What bothered him was how the Grizzlies could select such three. Super talented rookie!
Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Jimmy Butler, three rookies with All-Defensive team talent, were selected within two years, which made Kobe feel envious! Fortunately, he also has a successor like Leonard.
It was another beautiful cut through the screen. Kobe once again cut inside to receive the ball. Facing Sun Ce's defense, Kobe did not choose to pass the ball this time. He saw Lopez making up for Leonard's receiving line. , facing Sun Ce's defense, he took off and shot with the lever...
Sun Ce is not bad at pulling rods either.
And I have been duel with Kobe many times. This time I finally grasped the opportunity and reached out to interfere when Kobe's drawbar momentum was getting old!
Kobe was also very good. He dodged Sun Ce's block. Before landing, he pulled the lever again to avoid Sun Ce's hand and threw the ball towards the basket. However, he missed a little. The ball hit the neck of the basket. Sun Ce defended Kobe in a thrilling way. This time he cut in for a layup, grabbed the rebound, protected it, and handed it to Nash to advance.
The Lakers' brisk lineup retreated quickly, and the Grizzlies didn't have to worry if they could get away with it. If Kobe had found an opportunity to cut into the offensive basket during the Lakers' fast break, there would be almost no chance of him being able to defend it, unless he shrunk. Let the opponent shoot from the outside.
Even if there is a chance to start a fast break, Nash must suppress the rhythm.
We arrived at the frontcourt again. This time Leonard went directly around. He would rather give Sun Ce a chance to cut in than dribble to adjust his shot. Sun Ce ran back and cut in. The opponent had a tendency to flank inside, so he did not cut in to find a flank for his teammates. Creating opportunities and having such a good touch, he believes that even if he shoots against the defense, he has a higher probability of scoring than his teammates.
Sun Ce used the Yi Jianlian pick-and-roll in the middle to rush to the left sideline. Earl Clark and Leonard switched defenses and guarded the left mid-range to prevent Sun Ce from running back and cutting in. Nash did not pass the ball to the right mid-range to face Leonard. Yi Jianlian, who had a chance at CIC, passed it to Sun Ce instead.
Nash also understands a truth - the effect of a star's strong shot will not be lower than that of a role player who always has a good chance to score!
After receiving the ball, Sun Ce jumped up and shot! Earl Clark reacted quickly. Sun Ce jumped up and he immediately pounced on him, but there was no confrontation. Sun Ce's jump and subsequent shooting movements were not affected and were very smooth. The key is that Earl Clark's defense was in the wrong direction, and Sun Ce raised the ball to shoot. It's the left hand!
Earl Clark once encountered Sun Ce shooting with his left hand, but it was a mid-range shot. In the first half, Sun Ce shot with his right hand. Suddenly he switched to his left hand. Earl Clark stretched his hand in the wrong direction. Sun Ce was not affected by it. The interfered three-point shot from the left sideline...hit again!
Sun Ce, who felt hot, scored 8 points in a row! It’s 30 minutes! Sun Ce's personal score surpassed Kobe's by 1 point!
, the Grizzlies tied the score!
Old Bickerstaff called a timeout!
The Lakers have defended very well this time, and are ready to follow Sun Ce's three-point arc to catch the ball, defend the mid-range, and shrink the attack.
Even when Sun Ce went to the left side of the three-second zone, which was not that good at shooting, Earl Clark did not let go. Earl Clark also defended the three-pointer in time, but who would have thought that Sun Ce actually made a three-pointer with his left hand!
He continues to develop his own shooting area, and it’s actually his left hand! This makes the Lakers players' mentality a bit explosive. They can make shots no matter what. How to defend against this?
In the first three quarters, Randolph used his advantage to drive the whole team. Originally, the Lakers thought they defended Sun Ce very well in the third quarter, but who knew that Sun Ce would go berserk as soon as he came up in the fourth quarter!
…
After the timeout, the Lakers replaced Josh Smith and Jordan Hill.
The Grizzlies have no substitutions for the time being.
The Lakers attacked first, Paul hit a three-pointer after a pick-and-roll, and the Lakers continued to maintain the lead.
When the Grizzlies attacked, the Lakers made a rather extreme defensive adjustment. They were already very experienced with Sun Ce's explosion. The tactic didn't work. So they just blocked him!
Instead of letting Sun Ce keep throwing, it's better to double-team, guard the basket, and try to block the mid-range shots, so that the opponent can shoot from the outside.
Sun Ce is a devil who can score more than the rest of the team combined. The Lakers would rather let the Grizzlies shoot.
Score 8 points in a row and force the opponent to replace Josh Smith and Jordan Hill in advance after only two minutes. Sun Ce's goal has been achieved. He knows that the opponent's defense will make such adjustments, so he is ready to focus on containment.
Yi Jianlian's cut-in jumper didn't go in. The Grizzlies quickly retreated. The Lakers rushed to fast break and made a mistake! Jimmy Butler knocked away Paul's pass, Sun Ce grabbed the ball and passed it to Nash. During the transition between offense and defense, there was no need to slow down. Nash quickly advanced to the frontcourt and took advantage of the threat of his teammates to chase the top arc for a three-pointer...
Hit!
96-96 tie!
Paul just made a three-pointer, and Nash seized the opportunity to return one!
