One Thousand Seven Hundred and One. The Pillar of Heaven!

Kobe has the kind of character that if I think you can't do it, I will do it myself, but if you are really better than me, I will endure it and win the championship together.

I think back then, when he and O'Neal couldn't fight anymore, the most important thing was not the team's status, but that Kobe felt that his contribution and role on the court were already stronger than O'Neal, so he couldn't bear it and wanted to be on top.

But when O'Neal is better than him, he should endure it. Even if he performed better than O'Neal in the Western Conference playoffs, because the opponent's back line in the finals is so strong, he can only rely on O'Neal to penetrate the opponent's inside line. To win the championship, Kobe has been enduring it.

In the 2003 playoffs, it was obvious that O'Neal couldn't beat Duncan in his second peak, and Kobe couldn't bear it anymore.

But now, there is nothing that Kobe can't accept. He has won the 6th championship and won a lot of good things! Leonard's comprehensive ability is already better than him, let alone James. He becomes a pitcher when he should, averaging 2.8 three-pointers per game and shooting 40% from three-point range, both career highs. So happy to fly.

Although if you are more independent, you can average 23 or 4 points per game, but averaging 20 points per game is so easy, just catch and throw. Of course, Kobe chooses a happier way of playing.

In addition to this trio, there are also Nene, Motiejunas, JR Smith, Boozer, Nick Young, Marion...a bunch of high-quality role players. If you don't look at players with an annual salary of more than 5 million US dollars, Looking only at the role players, Sun Ce discovered that the Lakers role players are better than the Grizzlies!

The Grizzlies are also very cost-effective in the last year of Klay Thompson's rookie contract.

But opposite Leonard, he is also in the last year of his rookie contract and is receiving bonuses.

The opponent is very strong, but Sun Ce is also very confident. What they need to do is to get to know the well-adjusted Lakers and prepare for the next regular season and playoff games this season.

Just go up and fight hard, go all out and try to win the game!

Moreover, the opponent seems to have a lot of fighting spirit. On their side, the fighting spirit of the double 3D is not weak. Looking at the trio of Zhanlenco on the opposite side, Paul George seems to have been ignited. Klay Thompson has seen Leonard this season. He has a higher evaluation than him and is full of fighting spirit.

…

The pre-game preparation time was over, and at 7:58, Sun Ce put on his equipment, applied magnesium powder, and appeared in the starting lineup with Klay Thompson, Paul George, Randolph, and Aldridge.

For the Lakers, the starting lineup of James, Kobe, Leonard, Ed Davis, and Nene appeared.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. Nene beat Aldridge to win the jump ball, and the Lakers attacked first!

As soon as he came up, Nene made a passionate pick-and-roll and then cut in and dunked to score two points, helping the Lakers take the lead.

Sun Ce, who was assisting on the flank, couldn't stop him! Nene was completely sparing no physical strength, just like playing rugby, and Sun Ce had to get out of the way.

This season, the Lakers' interior line has been greatly improved compared to last season, mainly because the Grizzlies acquired Aldridge before the draft, which brought a huge threat to the Lakers and forced the Lakers to The winning lineup of last season was disbanded and a large number of insiders were signed.

Facts have proved that the Lakers did the right thing. At that time, no one could have imagined that the Grizzlies could keep Paul George and Larry Sanders at the same time, and also extended Yi Jianlian's contract with an annual salary of 8 million.

The current Lakers, whether inside or outside, have the same capital as the Grizzlies - everyone can go on the field and go all out regardless of physical strength. They have enough depth inside and outside!

The Grizzlies already understand this. After the "development player clause", the biggest change for each team is not as simple as adding two more people to the 15-man activated list, but that each team is more willing to give roles Player playing time, and indeed in the past two years, there have been more and more role players specializing in a certain skill, and the trend of averaging the scores of the league's teams has become unstoppable.

The Lakers are considered the most extreme team. They have attracted a large number of players with minimum salaries to join, and they have allowed Leonard to play well in Los Angeles.

Nene's sharp pick-and-roll cuts, James' pick-and-roll three-pointers and pick-and-roll breakthrough threats, Kobe's containment, Ed Davis' rush threat, Leonard's sideline three-pointers...

Sun Ce analyzed the opponent's play style and ran forward. The opponent's play was very simple. As long as James held the ball, it was a pick-and-roll break + rush game.

When the Grizzlies attacked, Aldridge pulled Ed Davis out of the paint. Paul George originally wanted to use Randolph as the starting point for the offense, but Nene's height and wingspan was a problem. Randolph hit Nene is more suitable for rushing offensive rebounds and playing secondary offense.

Paul George himself has difficulty facing James' defensive singles. Klay Thompson faced Kobe. Apart from his serious pursuit and defense tonight, he was a good singles target. However, Paul George estimated that Klay Thompson would be better in singles. Kobe, who will turn 37 in a few months, can dribble the ball with his feet.

However, when the starting inside combination plays together, Klay Thompson's biggest role on the offensive end is to contain the ball, or to shoot open shots when the defensive players shrink, because the twin towers of Randolph and Aldridge playing together are too difficult to pick and roll without the ball. It's okay to be separated, but it's really not good to play together. If they are all pulled out, there will be no threat inside.

However, turning to the lord when faced with a problem is the Grizzlies players' biggest reliance all the time.

When Sun Ce saw Paul George signaling Aldridge to move to the left side of the three-second zone, Randolph to move to the left baseline of the three-second zone, and signaling Klay Thompson to run, he knew Paul George's decision and immediately moved to the low post on the right side of the three-second zone.

Leonard has enough strength, sufficient confrontation and good defensive habits, few fouls, and a bit of a back-to-the-basket in the high post, so Sun Ce relied on his size advantage to come to the low post to block Leonard for the ball.

After Paul George passed the ball to Sun Ce, he moved to the right sideline, leaving the top arc area for Klay Thompson to run.

Sun Ce received the ball and felt the confrontation behind him, and was very excited.

After waiting for year after year, Leonard's single defense finally entered its peak!

In the future, Leonard's help defense will get better and better, but his single defense will begin to decline as his athletic ability decreases due to his age. The overall defensive effect may increase, but Leonard's single defense for the current and next three to five years is definitely the strongest during his career.

Playing against the strongest defensive players is what Sun Ce wants to do most!

After leaning on it for a while, there was no good chance to turn around. Sun Ce immediately turned left and faced the baseline to raise the ball. Leonard immediately pressed forward, raised his hand, and stuck to Sun Ce, not giving Sun Ce a good chance to get up.

This defense grasped the details very well! Unlike other defensive players who wanted to interfere with Sun Ce's shooting, although Leonard's arm span was almost the same as Sun Ce's, his height was a little worse, and he grasped this point very well.

But! When Sun Ce got the ball to his chest with his right hand, he let it go, slapped the ball to the right with his left hand, turned right next to Leonard, and crouched into the three-second zone!

Sun Ce did not dribble after receiving the ball. No matter how good Leonard was at grasping the details, there would always be omissions. This was Leonard's only mistake in this defense, and Sun Ce seized the opportunity!

Turning around and crouching into the three-second zone to grab the ball, Sun Ce made a basket and scored two points.

Laymen watch the excitement while experts see the doorway. The fans at the scene cheered. They saw Sun Ce score on Leonard, who is known as the strongest single defense player in the league. In the eyes of some fans who have playing experience or theoretical analysis experience and can see more details through the TV camera, this ball is too beautiful!

The defender defended well, and the offensive player handled the details and grasped the timing very well!

This ball was only because Sun Ce was a big threat in all aspects, so he could score so smoothly when Leonard defended so tightly.

But it also reflects from the side that Leonard, who has increased his weight to 108 kg in order to deal with Sun Ce, Durant, Jimmy Butler and others, has a small problem on the defensive end - he can't defend against top-level point guards with speed and flexibility. In the past few years, his lightest weight was 102 kg in the second grade, and he could defend from the 1st position to the 3rd position.

Not everyone can defend guards with a weight of 125 kg like James.

Attack and defense change, the Lakers attack, James faces Paul George's defense, but he doesn't force it. Now, he gives the regular time singles to Leonard, and he and Kobe will see who has a better chance to singles at the critical moment.

After his teammates get into position and Kobe starts running, James continues to look for Nene to pick and roll, but this time the Grizzlies defend very well, Sun Ce hits Nene who cuts in in time, Randolph holds James to prevent James from fully speeding up, and also after Paul George's pick and roll defense catches up, he splits to Leonard.

Seeing Sun Ce back to the basket, Randolph's gifted outside line can keep up with Leonard, and Leonard will be double-teamed by Sun Ce and Randolph when he cuts in. Leonard doesn't force a single, but takes the initiative to pull away, so James lobs the ball to Nene who enters the three-second zone and turns around with his back to Sun Ce.

Nene receives the ball and shoots high!

Nene is very excited to receive the ball at this position, the defensive player behind him is Sun Ce, dunk him!

Nene turned around and ignored Sun Ce's dunk...

"The 3rd level of the pillar of the sky is triggered. The static strength of the host during the vertical jump under the basket defense is temporarily increased by two small levels to S level, and the jumping height is temporarily increased by two small levels to A level..."

"Olajuwon's hand strap effect is triggered. The host's bounce speed during this block is increased by one small level to S-level..."

Facing Nene's dunk that ignored everything, Sun Ce jumped up on the spot and slapped the ball with his left hand on Nene's full-strength jump!

Nene was too careless! He didn't expect Sun Ce to be able to jump at full strength after confronting him. He only saw a hand with a hand strap slap the ball!

The ball flew out diagonally due to the force on both sides and flew out of bounds!
