One Thousand Five Hundred and Thirty-Four. Roll Call!
With talented Harden and Curry, practical players such as Thabeet, Speights, and Barnes, and leader Iguodala, the Warriors are no longer inferior to the Grizzlies in terms of talent.
Warriors fans really want to get rid of the pain of losing Sun Ce.
Humans are very strange creatures. If they feel they owe someone, they may not think about making up for it, but want to suppress the other party.
"Humanity is really thin as paper... You were not like this back then..."
Sun Ce sighed at the coldness of the world, came to the bench, and listened to the final emphasis of Coach Hollins.
After the excitement, Sun Ce knew that even if his ability was temporarily strengthened, he could not be careless, and the more so, the more he could not be careless.
Soon he was about to go on the court, and Sun Ce looked at the event that had just been triggered.
To get the data of 8+8 assists and rebounds, he had to win two games in the remaining few games against the Lakers. Since he had already got a triple-double against the Lakers a few days ago, he "only" needed to get a triple-double once...
The key is that 8+8!
He, Sun, has never averaged 8+ assists per game in the regular season!
But there is no rigid requirement for this to be completed in a certain year, which makes Sun Ce feel less pressured. If there is a chance to complete it this season, then complete it. If it cannot be completed later, it will be fine.
…
After the halftime break, the players of both teams walked on the court with excitement and pressure.
Even the Grizzlies players who encountered the opponent's explosion were undoubtedly very excited to play such a game.
If you don't consider honors, league status, and fighting for contracts, the mentality of players is actually very simple when playing. Most people go on the court just to win the game.
As for the distinction between team roles, core players and role players, even if you play street ball, there will be a difference between powerful players and those who help powerful players.
Compared with people who have entered society, most NBA players are relatively simple, so there are so many people who are deceived.
It is rare to see people like James, O'Neal, and Magic who are awesome both on and off the court.
Sun Ce and Klay Thompson, Paul George, Richard Jefferson, and Yi Jianlian came on the court.
On the Warriors side, Curry, Harden, Barnes, Speights, and Draymond Green played.
Mark Jackson is not stupid. At this point in the game, Curry and Harden performed so well, and the substitutions were very targeted.
In fact, it can be found that if Curry and Harden are in good shape, Mark Jackson's substitutions are very good.
When Mark Jackson's substitutions seem "rigid", it is basically because the game situation is unfavorable. Curry and Harden can't solve the problem with normal performance, so he wants David Lee to solve the problem.
And this is not something that can be done overnight. If David Lee is asked to solve the problem temporarily, he is not a superstar-level player. At best, he is at the edge of the All-Star level. He needs teammates to cooperate.
So Mark Jackson wants to integrate David Lee, the team's third scorer, into the playing style in normal games, so that he will appear so bad.
Mark Jackson has been criticized by fans this season. The reason is actually very embarrassing. David Lee is an excellent positional catcher and shooter and a low-post singles master. He is excellent, and sometimes he becomes a "burden" to the team.
The third quarter began, and the Warriors attacked first.
Harden pushed forward to the frontcourt, Iguodala rested, and he and Curry were the main point guards when they came on the court.
On Curry's side, Klay Thompson came on the court and defended the off-ball situation very well.
Sun Ce was guarding at a close distance, and saw Speights go to screen Curry, and followed him. Sure enough, this was not a screen to create a three-point opportunity for Curry, but an opportunity to create an off-ball screen and then cut in for Speights!
After the top arc and Draymond Green screened, Harden pulled away to the right sideline. Draymond Green passed the ball to the left side of the three-second zone, and Speights received the ball and rushed straight to the basket!
Sun Ce was not fooled, and immediately rushed towards Speights after Speights was separated. Just as Speights received the ball, Sun Ce immediately stuck to him.
Why was Speights called Little Al Jefferson during the draft? Because of his tonnage! He was not explosive, but Speights was strong enough to push Sun Ce directly to the layup.
Sun Ce really couldn't play the same role as James in static confrontation. He could use the S+ level strength of his own weight under his own weight, but he couldn't be pushed away, and couldn't stop Spetz from going to the basket.
But Spetz was in a bad state. He was stronger than Sun Ce, but he couldn't push the opponent away, and the opponent still stuck to him!
But Spetz could only force a jump shot at this time... As soon as the ball left Spetz's hand, it was slapped down by Sun Ce who stuck to him tightly!
After blocking and grabbing, the ball was placed on Spetz's shoulder by Sun Ce, who quickly grabbed the ball and blocked it!
In a panic, Spetz heard Draymond Green yelling to retreat, and hurried back, not caring about the big face he had just lost.
Sun Ce immediately counterattacked, and the fans at the scene were stunned for a while and then began to boo Sun Ce.
This guy who can defend Curry's three-pointer can actually defend against Spetz's strong attack?
The counterattack did not work. Although Draymond Green did not play much this season, he was efficient, mainly in defense. In Sun Ce's system evaluation, Draymond Green is already an A-level defensive player, and has made great progress compared to his rookie year, but Mark Jackson is not so fond of using him.
In fact, any current coach would be reluctant to use a power forward who averages 20+10 per game.
Sun Ce didn't rush to make a decision. After his teammates got into position, he saw Curry defending Klay Thompson and asked Klay Thompson for a pick-and-roll.
He called out the name!
The two's pick-and-roll was very fast. Klay Thompson blocked Barnes. Sun Ce took a step to the right side of the top arc to force Curry to move to prevent Sun Ce from breaking through. Klay Thompson immediately pulled away, and Barnes had to follow.
Sun Ce didn't shoot directly. After the break, Curry immediately stuck to Sun Ce, not giving Sun Ce the opportunity to find the rhythm and force a shot over his head.
In normal state, he still needs rhythm, but now he is not in rhythm.
However, calling out Curry was not for shooting three-pointers. After Klay Thompson pulled away and took away Barnes, Sun Ce directly crushed Curry and forced a strong breakthrough!
"F..."
Curry couldn't even curse, because he was pushed away by Sun Ce!
Curry is very confident in his upper limb strength. The Kirin Arm is not trained in vain. If he is close to Sun Ce when switching to defend him, he can play a relatively large restriction on Sun Ce when he starts to speed up.
But this time, it didn't work at all!
Sun Ce rushed straight into the inside, Draymond Green let go of Yi Jianlian and blocked him, Speights pulled back to defend Yi Jianlian's empty cut, Sun Ce was a little excited, he didn't pass the ball to Richard Jefferson in the bottom corner, but grabbed the ball and turned around before he was about to contact Draymond Green, took a big step directly to the free throw line, stepped forward with his left foot, jumped, and smashed the ball into the basket through Speights!
