One Hundred and Fifty Three. Poison Tongue
But there is no way to do it. Only by constantly reminding and emphasizing can we slowly integrate the concept of defense first into the team.
For the Warriors, Sun Ce was absent, Ellis was injured again, and the rhythm dropped.
The Warriors are not at a disadvantage here. Conley's current physical strength is also average. He can only play 30 minutes a game, and he is not able to maintain a high-intensity defense throughout the entire process. Conley was replaced and rested. Gay is the only one left with a good defense.
With Maggette and Reggie Williams, Gay will play singles if he doesn't guard against anyone, while Curry is actively running, opening up space and catching and shooting.
When it comes to the rotation lineup, the Warriors are not at a disadvantage here! Because most of the young players on the Warriors side don't need to consider physical strength, except for Sun Ce, everyone else can use it to death!
Curry is the pitcher, and Reggie Williams and Maggette are the substitutes. If this game is too hard and the next game is not good...they will not perform well. They don't care so much. They have a chance to compete with this team This kind of strong team is playing on par, and the opportunity is too rare.
If it weren't for Sun Ce's mediocre physical fitness, Old Nelson would have let Sun Ce go up and fight all the time.
On the Grizzlies side, with Zach Randolph in singles and Gasol in support, after the pace slows down, the success rate is still good.
It's just that at this stage, the Grizzlies' offensive and defensive positions have not taken advantage!
This is what Sun Ce wants!
The current Grizzlies are not as good as the future Grizzlies that can reach the Western Conference finals. They currently have the strength of a playoff-level team, all thanks to the newly formed defensive starting lineup.
As long as you hold on in the starting stage and don't get too badly defended, you will still have a chance later!
This judgment is very accurate. Sun Ce led the team to support the opponent's starting lineup stage when the opponent had just built a lineup system at the beginning of the season. When it came to the rotation lineup, the Warriors had the upper hand!
At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led 31 to 27 by 4 points.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Grizzlies replaced Zach Randolph and put Conley, Mayo, Sam Young, Darrell Arthur, and Gasol on the field.
On the Warriors side, Curry continued to play, and changed from a running shooter to a ball-handling core. The lineup of Morrow, Radmanovich, Toliver, and Hunter played.
Young teams don't give them a chance to gain the upper hand!
It's easy to crush a young team from the start,
Just like the Suns, when Nash was serious about showing off in front of the students, the Suns defeated the Warriors in twos and threes, with the biggest point difference reaching 35 points.
But once the young team is allowed to start, it's like the Rockets can't stop it after being started by the Warriors in the second half!
Hi Curry! After scoring 8 points and 2 assists in the first quarter, he continued to use Tolliver's pick-and-roll in the first half of the second quarter to shoot or pass the ball to Morrow and Radmanovic.
Five minutes before the second quarter, the Warriors played a wave of 14 to 9!
36 to 45, the Grizzlies trailed by 9 points, and Coach Hollins called a timeout again!
...
Sun Ce took off his training clothes and rested for almost a full quarter of the game, plus timeouts, inter-quarter breaks, dead balls, etc., and took a rest for almost half an hour. When his physical strength was almost recovered, he played again.
Morrow, Maggette, Reggie Williams, Anthony Randolph and Sun Ce played together.
The Grizzlies switched back to the starting lineup, Conley, Mayo, Gay, Zach Randolph, Gasol Jr. lineup.
What a miserable little sister-in-law, I need him for high-level support, I need him when I'm trying to beat the rhythm, I need him for the rotation lineup... I need him all the time.
The Grizzlies wanted to rely on the starting lineup to pull back the point difference before the end of the first half, and tried to defeat the Warriors in one fell swoop in the second half.
Even Mayo came up to play honestly under the repeated urging of Coach Hollins.
Sun Ce played more difficultly after playing this time. The opponent defended his position and slowed down his speed in the past quarter. It was difficult for Sun Ce to get up to speed immediately.
After a few rounds, the success rate of the two teams is not high, but this time it is what the Grizzlies want. As long as they keep the slow pace, they will naturally gain the upper hand slowly, just like the Warriors. It is the same to naturally gain the advantage after speeding up.
Sun Ce could only think of a way. When the Grizzlies attacked again, he leaned in front of Mayo and started BB...
"Don't you dare to guard against me?"
"Shut up, you trash second-round pick."
"It's true that I am in the second round, but you are so bad, you don't even have the ball, and it has nothing to do with you if you win. It's your fault that you are so far behind. I think your third pick was bought with money, right? "
"Buy you $%#$..."
Mayo didn't have a good or bad opinion of Sun Ce at first, but now he hates Sun Ce to death!
Because of this damn second-round pick, he was blamed by the head coach, because of this damn second-round pick, his resentment of being robbed of the first shot by Randolph began to explode... Originally, the top three in the preseason and regular season In every game, he was going to fast-paced to become the team's second single player, and now he was dissatisfied again.
Where was the turning point at the beginning of the game?
It started when Mayo reached out to Conley for the ball!
This time, it started when Mayo asked Conley for the ball again!
"God..." Conley handed over the ball helplessly. Who told the management that Mayo's talent is higher in the eyes of the management, and he was cultivated as a core player. A player with a down-to-earth personality like him suffered too much in the early stage. He is currently in the third grade. Conley is really not as dazzling as the second-year Mayo, and Mayo is not valued in the team.
It didn't feel as good at the beginning. Mayo hit Sun Ce in a single, and under the interference of Sun Ce's long arm, he hit the iron with a three-pointer with a "bang"!
Reggie Williams grabbed the rebound before Randolph, and counterattacked!
For a through pass in the counterattack, Reggie Williams gave the ball to Sun Ce, and Sun Ce caught the ball and made a layup!
Seeing the point difference slowly catch up to 6 points, Mayo let the opponent open the point difference to 8 points all of a sudden!
50 to 42, the Warriors slowly began to gain the upper hand in terms of rhythm!
...
The fans at the scene saw that Sun Ce seemed to suppress Mayo in the situation!
No, it should be said that the brain is better than the other party! Work harder than the other side! Dare to do it better than the other party!
Skills... Sun Ce is definitely not as good as Mayo in all aspects. Mayo's skills are too good. From three-pointers to mid-range shots to basket offense, they are all top-notch B+ level close to the top. Sun Ce is definitely not as good as him.
But Sun Ce is more able to use his teammates, the team's system, thinks himself lower, and uses everything he can.
And Mayo... Kong has the ability, but he can only score, assists and rebounds seem to be incidental.
