"Eh?"
A prompt suddenly popped up, scaring Sun Ce. He thought something was going to happen at first, which put him under a lot of pressure.
He knew that it was impossible to cheat in every game of a series, and no matter how many cheats there were, it would not be enough, so his own strength and the strength of his team were the most important.
He had played two games with the Warriors before, and although they had a 1-1 record, he lost the game the day before yesterday when he really played against the Warriors in a normal state.
So, tonight Sun Ce wanted to see if his team's response could deal with the Warriors.
Of course, if necessary, cheats should be used. After all, for these two young teams, the victory or defeat in the regular season is very important.
Young teams play with morale, just like in the first round of the playoffs last year, it is hard to say that the Warriors did not rely on their sharpness to catch up with the score and surpass 3 to 2 when the head coach was not so suitable and there were internal conflicts.
But the shock was ultimately a surprise!
Sun Ce really didn't think about improving the team's cohesion, he just wanted to criticize Drummond Green. Now let's not talk about how Drummond Green is doing and what his reaction is. The reaction of his teammates has already surprised Sun Ce!
What a pleasant surprise! Sun Ce suddenly felt very grateful to Drummond Green for his arrogance and arrogance. He couldn't say such a response when he had nothing to do. He needed a "supporting role". Drummond Green became the best supporting role for him to have the opportunity to say this.
In this case, we must continue to work hard! Winning this game is the best way to expand the unexpected surprise effect brought by his answer.
Seeing that there was only 1 minute left before the game started, Sun Ce temporarily called several starting partners together and whispered a few words...
...
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. Aldridge beat Thabeet to win the jump ball. The Grizzlies attacked first. This much-anticipated New Year's battle began!
Tactical changes are what losers do. The Warriors just won the last game, so they must continue to try this game. It is best to respond to the opponent's response and effectively suppress the Grizzlies.
Because the losing side will definitely find a way to respond to the advantages shown by the winning side,
otherwise the problem will never be solved.
Therefore, the Warriors continued the defense of the previous game, trying to block the close distance and the basket, and trying their best to defend the mid-range. If there is no way to make three-pointers, then there is no way. They have the best three-point shooters and are not afraid of the Grizzlies.
However, the Grizzlies did not play team cooperation today. Paul George was going to pass the ball to Sun Ce for a singles, but when he saw Draymond Green defending Aldridge, he immediately passed the ball to Aldridge.
Aldridge received the ball at a close distance on the left side of the three-second zone, leaned against Draymond Green, and turned over and jumped very decisively!
Although Draymond Green was very close, had good defensive skills, did not foul, and did a good job of interference, Aldridge had an excellent feel for the fadeaway shot and turned over and made a fadeaway jumper!
Drummond Green knew that when Aldridge was in good form, he couldn't be defended. This kind of mid-range singles player relies a lot on basic skills and touch, including Kobe.
So there was nothing he could do if the shot went in. Drummond Green was ready to connect the offense well next.
However, just as Drummond Green was about to run to the frontcourt, he heard Aldridge, who usually wouldn't say a few words in a whole game, speak: "DPOY?"
After saying that, Aldridge turned and retreated.
Drummond Green was stunned for a moment and immediately got annoyed!
He was very unhappy today. In the best defensive player prediction rankings, he was not even third, or not entirely. Only ESPN ranked him third, and the other lists were fourth and fifth!
Even Sports Illustrated ranked him sixth, after Duncan!
Later, because he was already famous for his big mouth, he sprayed everyone he met this season. Compared with the first two years of his career, his personality seemed to have changed very drastically. The media also liked to find news from him. Naturally, he was irritated and immediately answered that he was the best defensive player.
He is not stupid, but to build momentum for his contract renewal. He previously rejected the 4-year, 50 million contract offered by the Warriors and wanted a 5-year maximum salary.
No one else will flatter him, he needs to find a sense of existence for himself and find ways to improve his salary expectations.
He is very smart and knows that if a rising player like him goes to criticize some long-established superstars, the other party may not pay attention to him, and there is a high probability that they will not pay attention to him.
He also knows a lot of players in the league. Success is not something that can be achieved casually. He has also made his own efforts, so he knows the characteristics of the top players in the league.
Sun Ce is a long-established Mesozoic superstar, and many people even regard him as the best player in the league; Leonard is the kind of guy who may not fight back if he is slapped, but will only fight back in the game, but he is not against Draymond Green.
Therefore, Draymond Green is going to use the criticism of the two to increase his topicality. The more people discuss whether he can get the best defensive player, the more people will hope that he can get it. After all, the Grizzlies and the Lakers have a lot of black fans.
However, Sun Ce actually responded, and took his words out of context, which was very outrageous!
It was obviously to sow discord between Green and his teammates!
Watching Curry receiving the serve and advancing, Drummond Green held back his displeasure and wanted to cooperate with his teammates first, so that his teammates would understand that he was not saying that his teammates were bad.
After Curry advanced to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Harden. After Harden received the ball, he played a singles game. Facing Paul George's defense, Harden seemed to be at ease.
With S-level strength, he is one of the best players in the league, and he has not touched the magic ball. He has been steadily training his skills according to the characteristics of the Thunder period. Paul George was under great pressure when defending.
Aldridge returned to the mid-range early, and Sun Ce also let go of Harrison Barnes and came in, blocking Harden in the top corner on the left side of the free throw line. Harden first passed the ball back to the top arc, and then pulled to the right. When Drummond Green received the ball at the top arc, he had the opportunity to pass it to Harrison Barnes who cut in. Just now, Harden's vision was not good enough to ensure that he could pass it to Harrison Barnes, but Drummond Green at the top arc had enough vision and passing opportunities to pass it to Harrison Barnes who cut in from the baseline.
But at the same time, Drummond Green also had a three-point opportunity.
If it were normal, Drummond Green, who had average three-point shooting stability, would definitely pass the ball back to Harrison Barnes, but at this moment, Drummond Green wanted to return the favor to Aldridge, and couldn't help but catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer... It missed!
Randolph held Thabit, and Sun Ce took a step to the direction where the ball bounced out, grabbing the defensive rebound before Harrison Barnes.
Counterattack!
Sun Ce turned and accelerated after landing, and Harrison Barnes rushed over in time, but when Sun Ce rushed out of the three-point line, even Drummond Green, who had retreated to the center circle, was startled. When Drummond Green rushed over, Sun Ce just took advantage of the bonus of "King of Counterattack Advance" and passed by Drummond Green.
Rushing all the way to the frontcourt, Sun Ce quickly dunked and scored two points under the pursuit of Drummond Green and Harrison Barnes!
This ball was played beautifully, and it was in a good position for counterattack. Sun Ce turned around and was about to run back. When he saw Draymond Green, he remembered something...
Sun Ce tilted his neck and looked down at Draymond Green, saying: "DPOY?"
Body movements, expressions, tone... In all aspects, although Sun Ce and Aldridge said the same word, the sensory stimulation brought to Draymond Green was much stronger than Aldridge!
Draymond Green was about to explode!
Playing against the Grizzlies, he didn't dare to play dirty on the defensive end. Just look at Kenyon Martin's end. He obviously still has the ability to play the game. It's no problem to get 5+5+1 per game. There must be a championship team that needs such a veteran. For example, their Warriors are very suitable for this veteran with good pick-and-roll and excellent cutting ability as a substitute. He also has experience in the finals, does not occupy the ball, and plays very hard.
But all teams are afraid that signing Kenyon Martin will cause conflicts when they meet the Grizzlies.
Originally, he was just a veteran on the verge of retirement. Signing him wouldn't have much effect, and not signing him wouldn't have much loss. So, Kenyon Martin lost the chance to continue playing in the NBA.
Holding back his anger, Draymond Green went to the frontcourt, got into position, and helped Harden with the pick-and-roll according to his teammates' needs.
Originally, Draymond Green was suspected of moving the pick-and-roll when he did the pick-and-roll. This time, he directly raised his arm to block Paul George and was called for a foul!
Even if it was the Warriors' home court, even if the offense was encouraged, the referee couldn't ignore this ball!
Steve Kerr stood up, Draymond Green made two consecutive mistakes!
The three-pointer just now was definitely a mistake. Draymond Green could shoot, but he was the last shot of the Warriors' starting lineup. Thabit's offensive priority was above him. Harrison Barnes had a chance to cut in and receive the ball for a layup. Draymond Green's own shot was definitely a mistake.
Attack and defense changed, the Grizzlies continued to attack. Paul George came to the frontcourt and found that Draymond Green was very rough around Aldridge, so he gave the ball to Sun Ce. Sun Ce asked Aldridge to pick and roll, and then he faced Draymond Green and took a long two-point shot... but missed!
However, when Draymond Green took it back, Randolph grabbed the offensive rebound from the gap between Thabeet and Draymond Green, stood up and made a layup to score two points!
So, the scene that made Draymond Green angry came again.
Randolph shook his shoulders, shook his head, and spit out saliva from his mouth: "DPOY?"
Even the referee couldn't stand it anymore, blew the whistle, and made a "T" gesture to Randolph!
