I Don’t Want to Be the Boss

One Thousand Seven Hundred and Four. Low Dance!

A bit arrogant!

Motiejunas has enough body to interfere with Randolph's shot, and Marion has quickly recovered Randolph's offensive rebound, but Sun Ce suddenly cuts in, and judges the ball's landing point very well, and pushes Marion away! Marion's confrontation is no worse than Larry Sanders!

The key is Sun Ce's grasp of the line of cutting in. For offensive rebounds, except for players with strong physical fitness like Randolph, Whiteside, Adams, and Whiteside, others can be regarded as "stealing rebounds". Strong defensive teams must protect the rebounds, and the positioning is not bad.

Others who rely on impact and skills to grab rebounds are like Yi Jianlian, Larry Sanders, and Jordan, who look for rushing, or like Love, who relies on the judgment of the landing point and relies on a strong body to grab the position, and Love can actually be classified in the same category as Randolph and others.

Sun Ce found an opportunity this time. He turned and cut into the inside while Leonard was not prepared, and seized the visual blind spot of Marion's shrinking. Even Larry Sanders didn't have the opportunity to rush for the offensive rebound this time, but Sun Ce really found a suitable route.

In the iron-blooded battle, defensive rebound protection is very important. Similarly, if one side grabs the offensive rebound well, it is also a huge advantage. In the OK era and the Koga era, the five championships in the playoffs often relied on offensive rebounds to win.

Other Lakers players didn't think anything of Sun Ce's offensive rebound this time, but just thought that Sun Ce played a little sideways.

But Sun Ce has always been Kobe and James's victim. Seeing that Sun Ce scored a goal that was completely different from the first quarter, the ominous premonition deepened immediately-could it be that Sun Ce broke out from this aspect tonight?

The reason why Sun Ce broke out is talked about with relish is not how many points he scored, but the direction of his breakout. Most of them are in the direction that is beneficial to the Grizzlies' winning after the breakout, that is, what the Grizzlies lack, Sun Ce will break out in that direction!

Tonight, the Lakers relied on a lot of inside players accumulated last summer to restrict several Grizzlies players who are good at rushing offensive rebounds. At this time, if Sun Ce, a guard player, can seize the opportunity to rush, it will be very advantageous.

Not to mention that Sun Ce can even carry Marion!

The Lakers really regard Sun Ce as having the strength of a real swingman. After all, they have a point guard James who is heavier than most centers, so they don’t think it’s strange.

In terms of regular season honors for active players, only James, who has three MVPs, can be compared with Sun Ce, and Duncan is inferior. Sun Ce is good in playoff honors, there is no way. The regular season honors can be compared with James, and others always think that Sun Ce is special in all aspects.

This has a significant impact on the defense of the Lakers' current lineup.

In the transition of offense and defense, the Lakers attacked, Wayne Ellington and Marion picked and rolled, got rid of Pierce's defense and broke through to a close-range jump shot.

Dare to throw, dare to score! Wayne Ellington came up to score!

Wayne Ellington, a high-quality role player with B+ level strength, can start in some teams with weak backcourts. The Lakers won a 1+1 player option with a total of 3.5 million US dollars, so they gave up renewing Blake's contract.

When the Grizzlies attacked, Randolph went to the low post to play singles. If it was difficult to play, Randolph would give up. He was not as good at grabbing offensive rebounds with the ball as he was without the ball, but Sun Ce had an offensive rebound threat, so Randolph continued to play.

Due to his height restriction, Randolph's singles this time were aimed at the second offense. Motiejunas's rebounding ability was indeed average. Marion shrank and hesitated. He saw that Sun Ce was pushing Leonard to occupy the cutting space after passing the ball, and he did not dare to receive it directly to the basket. Randolph's second offense hit the ball by himself!

25 to 22, the Grizzlies led by 3 points!

When it was the Lakers' turn to attack, Wayne Ellington wanted to do the same as before, but why did he play so well in the Warriors and Nuggets last season, and averaged 11 points per game in 71 games as a substitute throughout the season, but he still didn't get a big contract? It's because his passing awareness is really bad. If he is a combo guard, he is more like a pure scoring small forward. He just works with the ball and is extremely confident.

This time, Sun Ce shrank quickly, and didn't care whether Wayne Ellington would pass it to Leonard. He took it directly and blocked Wayne Ellington!

Randolph, who was chasing Wayne Ellington, grabbed the ball and passed it to Pierce. Pierce passed it to Sun Ce who rushed out of the three-point line after blocking the shot. At this time, Marion hugged Sun Ce and committed a tactical foul!

The Lakers called a timeout directly after the foul!

The Lakers called a timeout after just over a minute in the second quarter. Old Bickerstaff is worthy of being an old coach that even his own son can't predict. He called a timeout when he disagreed.

There is no way. The Lakers can't defend the Grizzlies during this period, but the Grizzlies can defend them. Sun Ce continued the strong defense in the first quarter!

Even if the double 3D is not there, Sun Ce also grasped the opportunity to interfere!

The Lakers replaced James in advance. Wayne Ellington played not badly, but he happened to meet Sun Ce. The player who replaced Leonard didn't dare to let go of Leonard, who had a 39% three-point shooting rate, but Sun Ce dared.

The Lakers sent out a lineup of James, Kobe, Leonard, Marion, and Boozer.

The Grizzlies did not make any substitutions. The lineup was Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Pierce, Larry Sanders, and Randolph.

After Boozer came on, Randolph had a really hard time playing in the low post. He didn't like to meet opponents like Chandler, Cousins, and Boozer.

The Lakers' several inside players are very targeted. Nene is a very good center. The lone testicle warrior was once a quasi-All-Star player. He has excellent low-post defense, excellent pick-and-roll offense, and mid-range shooting. Motiejunas can rely on mid-range and long-range shots to open up space and give the point guard a chance to pick-and-roll offense. He has a decent tonnage and good interference in the basket. Boozer has excellent low-post defense, good wingspan, and top interference in the basket.

Nene is a regular starting center, and the two substitutes are for Randolph! One was reserved last season, and another one was reserved this season!

And there are Marion and Ed Davis to defend Aldridge. If that doesn't work, there is also Perkins, who is seriously aging at the age of 30.

Boozer's advantage is good low-post defense, but it just restrains Randolph.

Randolph also took the initiative to move to the left baseline and stopped playing. Sun Ce gave the ball to Pierce and went to the right low post of the three-second zone to ask for the ball.

As soon as he received the ball, Marion directly left Larry Sanders open and took it in. It was so straightforward. He didn't double-team when defending Randolph because the inside players sent by the Lakers were aimed at defending Randolph, and Leonard was indeed difficult to defend against Sun Ce. Marion was worried that his outside movement was not good enough when defending Sun Ce, after all, he was one year older.

But to defend Sun Ce, he just needed to shrink and double-team. Kobe also left Tony Allen open and took it in.

Sun Ce originally wanted to pass the ball, but suddenly found an opportunity. He patted the ball, turned around and faced the basket and pulled out a step. Leonard quickly stuck to him. Marion quickly returned to the basket to prevent Randolph from rushing and helping Kobe to stop Larry Sanders from cutting in. At this time, Sun Ce moved towards Leonard again, turned right suddenly, and stepped to the right sideline of the three-second zone with his left foot!

Marion rushed over, Sun Ce took it back, grabbed the ball, and faked it... Leonard and Marion were fooled by this smooth action, and rushed to block it. Sun Ce took the ball back again, with his right foot as the axis, and did not move. He bent his waist to avoid the two people, stepped out from the gap between the two people with his left foot and stepped into the right sideline of the three-second zone. After stepping firmly with his left foot, he jumped out, and jumped with his left foot, triggering a dream footstep!

The temporary increase to S-level speed and explosive power played an important role at this time. When Marion landed without controlling his body and rubbed against Sun Ce, Sun Ce still succeeded in forcing the ball to the backboard... The ball hit the backboard and bounced into the frame!

For this ball, when Sun Ce turned around and faked several times, the fans at the scene were already cheering wildly, it was so beautiful! Yang Jian, the commentator of Chaoting TV, was shouting frantically, "Is the ball dancing?"

Chaoting TV's special guest Coach Zhang felt a little sour... because Kobe, who was unable to interfere with Sun Ce's leaping forward even after collecting the ball under the basket, became the background...

Looking at the defense after Sun Ce scored the goal at the end, it felt like Sun Ce scored the ball against three opponents!

Kobe was stunned. He didn't know how many times he had greeted Boss Joe in his heart - what the hell did you teach this guy last summer! Is it fun to go against me, Kobe? Isn't it just that I'm about to surpass your number of championships? Is it that serious?

Boss Joe, who was watching the game on the East Coast next door, sneezed several times in a row and thought he had a cold, so he quickly turned up the air conditioning temperature.

Sun Ce's offensive rebound and low-post single play at the beginning of the second quarter disrupted the Lakers' defense.

We had to guard against Sun Ce's rush for rebounds, and we couldn't do anything about Sun Ce's low-post single play. It was a one-on-two situation just now! The players we were playing against were not the ones with poor defense, but Marion and Leonard!

If Sun Ce scored a few times randomly, it can only be said that there is nothing we can do about Sun Ce's touch. Who can defend against the magic ball? But Sun Ce just defended the ball calmly one by one.

Fortunately, the Lakers replaced James and Boozer, the old partners from ten years ago, in advance. The two inside players of the Lakers can pick and roll with James, and the Lakers have continuity on the offensive end. James came up and created an open three-point opportunity for Kobe, and Kobe made a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

It was the time for the Grizzlies to attack again. The Lakers really couldn't defend. James retreated to defend Sun Ce. James + Leonard, let alone Sun Ce, Olajuwon himself had a height advantage, but Sun Ce passed the ball to Pierce. Although Pierce was not open, he singled out Marion and stepped back to shoot!
