One Thousand Three Hundred and Seventy-Eight. Demon Sword Out of the Sheath VS Kobe Time

It is hard to say who is better, Ellis's accelerated change of direction or Ginobili's Eurostep. In terms of the scoring efficiency of the two at their peak, Ellis is stronger overall, but Ginobili is stronger in the explosive stage.

For Sun Ce, the Eurostep plays a key role when the space for accelerated change of direction is blocked!

Jordan Hill never thought that Sun Ce could pull up and dunk directly in such a continuous lateral movement!

This scene made Kobe, who was not able to stick to him in time, a little confused. Kobe subconsciously retracted when he saw Sun Ce's two consecutive non-Ellis-style accelerated change of direction movements and large strides lateral movement. It was clear that this seemed to be a common style of play used by Wade or Ginobili.

And it was not Wade's Eurostep that moved relatively small and relied purely on explosive power, but Ginobili's weird steps and violent style that could not be seen from his body!

4 goals in a row! Sun Ce raised his personal score to 32 points, still second only to Kobe who scored 33 points.

Kobe wanted to rush in and crush the opponent's morale, and he was about to do it, but Sun Ce dunked over the Lakers' center with the timely and very accurate single defense, help defense, and backup defense of three people!

Although the Grizzlies were still two points behind, 98 to 100 behind, the morale boost brought by Sun Ce's goal directly offset the morale blow brought to the Grizzlies by Kobe's two magic goals just now, and it was a boost against the trend!

Randolph on the sidelines stood up and shouted: "Kobe, you are not good enough. You were okay ten years ago. Now our lord is the strongest!"

Kobe ignored Randolph and ran to the front court. He was under great pressure now, no less than when he faced the Celtics with a complete lineup in 2010.

However, Kobe did not collapse under the heavy pressure. Instead, he played more focused. After receiving the ball, his teammates pulled away. Facing Jimmy Butler's mid-range defense, which would rather be passed than give him a chance to shoot from a long distance, and Sun Ce's defense that would definitely choose to shrink, Kobe turned to face Jimmy Butler and faked a shot.

Jimmy Butler pressed forward like a frightened bird. Kobe immediately tapped the ball and broke through from the left. Jimmy Butler immediately retreated. Kobe used his strong core strength to retract his left foot, and at the same time exerted force with his right foot, tapped the ball again, jumped to the free throw line, and shot a mid-range shot on the free throw line...

Hit it again!

Pretty good basic skills. In terms of step-back, he may not be as good as Pierce and Harden, who are the best in step-back.

Or Kobe is not the best in any technique, but he is in the top five in the league in almost every technique that should be possessed by the outside line!

It is impossible to defend! Sun Ce can't double team directly to the mid-range, otherwise Leonard can cut in. It's okay to let Leonard shoot, but such a player with excellent physical fitness can't be stopped from cutting in.

The players in other positions of the Lakers are very capable, Josh Smith and Jordan Hill are two top players in the ability to eat cakes, Paul is a superstar... can only watch Kobe ravage Jimmy Butler in the high position.

At this time, Coach Hollins on the sidelines can only keep calm and dare not use Tony Allen. This is Tony Allen's disadvantage. His lack of offensive ability will be infinitely magnified at critical moments.

After Josh Smith and Jordan Hill came up, the Lakers' defense basically reached their strongest level. The Grizzlies can only rely on Sun Ce's singles to hold on until the right time to replace the strongest lineup in positional warfare offense and defense.

Sun Ce lived up to the expectations of his teammates and coaches. After advancing to the frontcourt, he accelerated directly to the three-point line. With the help of Yi Jianlian's active pick-and-roll, he broke through to the mid-range and faced Josh Smith's defense again. He took two steps to the basket, faced Kobe and Leonard's double-teaming, and threw the ball behind his head. It just happened to be thrown over the head of Josh Smith who was chasing in to block the shot. Yi Jianlian caught the ball and slammed it into the basket through Josh Smith!

Yi Jianlian rushed in to rush the rebound. Sun Ce was basically out of chance after being double-teamed by three people. After the double-teaming, Yi Jianlian was glad that he really rushed in.

Sun Ce was too reckless! He dared to pass such a ball at this time!

But at this time, Sun Ce's route to Jimmy Butler and Lopez at the bottom line was cut off, and he was double-teamed by three people. The Lakers' contraction double-teaming was done to the extreme this time. This seemed to be the only chance to score.

Sun Ce could judge this, and the fans watching the game in front of the TV with a relatively God's perspective were stunned!

Sun Ce can seize every opportunity! The key is that Sun Ce dared to try such a pass.

100 to 102, the Grizzlies continue to keep the score close.

Sun Ce and Kobe are competing again!

In the three minutes before the official timeout in the fourth quarter, the two of them went back and forth, Kobe mainly relied on his own shooting; Sun Ce's side also ranked first in scoring, but if you look closely, it is not the case. Sun Ce ranked first in "seizing opportunities".

It's a very subtle difference, but the effect is that Sun Ce scored 14 points and 2 assists in the first half of the first quarter, Kobe scored 10 points after the last timeout, plus a shot before the timeout to get two points, 12 points in half a quarter.

That is, during the competition between the two, Kobe scored 10 points and Sun Ce scored 6 points and 2 assists!

106 to 108, entering the official timeout again, the Grizzlies kept the score close, and did not let Kobe, who scored 10 points in 3 minutes, widen the gap!

Sun Ce's data has increased to 36 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals. In the past three minutes, there was not a single rebound, and Kobe scored all of them! Fortunately, he also helped the team stabilize the situation.

Kobe's current data has increased to 39 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, and he is only 1 point away from his 17th career playoff single-game 40+.

Sun Ce is only a little away from his 14th career playoff triple-double, 6th playoff 40+ triple-double, and 11th playoff single-game 40+.

Both of them are scoring, but the mentality of the players of the two teams is completely different.

On the Grizzlies side, after Kobe's fierce outbreak, scoring 5 goals in a row without free throws and scoring 10 points in 3 minutes, the Grizzlies can still rely on Sun Ce's pass to Yi Jianlian who cut in to score two more points and narrow the gap to two points into the official timeout... How can they not be excited?

Facing Kobe who entered the "Kobe time", their Grizzlies rotation lineup was not defeated!

On the other hand, in the past three minutes, the Lakers players have lost more and more confidence.

Kobe has played like this, but he still hasn't established an advantage. And this was done by that man again!
