One Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixty-Nine. The Unstoppable Little Overlord

First, keep the home advantage, and then mobilize the enthusiasm of teammates on the road.

If it works, it will be good to win an away game. If you lose, it's just an away loss. There are still three games to go, and you can keep the home advantage!

Seeing Sun Ce agreed, Paul George breathed a sigh of relief.

It's too difficult! Although Paul George has gradually adjusted his mentality in the past two years, he now has the consciousness of being the team leader.

But it's okay to deal with others, but Paul George really feels tired when dealing with Sun Ce!

…

After the Spurs lost to the Lakers in the first game of the series, they went one step further in the second game, defeating the Lakers away and grabbing the home advantage, which not only gave Curry and his teammates a positive impact, but even the media were discussing whether the Warriors had a chance to replicate the Spurs' performance.

And the general public opinion is - there is a chance!

The media knows that many fans don't watch the game, they just look at the results and analyze based on the results, so they deliberately guide public opinion from the fact that the Warriors only lost to the Grizzlies by 6 points in the first game.

Keep talking about how big the Grizzlies' advantage is, which may not be attractive to non-Grizzlies fans, fans of the opposing team, black fans, and passers-by fans. However, these people actually occupy the majority of the groups that are keen to express their opinions online. Let's say something different.

Sure enough, as long as the discussion is about the Warriors' chance of grabbing the home advantage, the emotions of non-Grizzlies fans begin to rise again.

Such public opinion is of no use to the Grizzlies, and they don't even accept interviews, but it has a morale-boosting effect on the Warriors.

At 7:40 in the evening, the two teams entered the court after warming up.

The Warriors played barefoot in the first two away games, and they were not afraid of wearing shoes. If they won, they would make money, and if they lost, they could also understand their shortcomings. When they returned to the home court, they could be more fully prepared to face the Grizzlies.

Sun Ce clearly felt that the opponent was very different from the last game, which was very cautious and obviously under pressure!

This time Curry didn't go to Sun Ce to abuse him. He was abused every time, which hurt his self-esteem. Curry planned to show off if he won this game. If he lost, he would just pretend that he had never thought about anything.

After the pre-match preparation time, Sun Ce put on his equipment, applied some magnesium powder, and went on the court with the starting lineup of Klay Thompson, Paul George, Aldridge, and Gobert.

Contrary to the Grizzlies' expectations, Thabit was put on the bench tonight!

Curry, Harden, Iguodala, Gerald Wallace, Draymond Green... The Warriors directly sent out a five-small lineup!

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game. Gobert easily won the jump ball. After the Warriors lost the jump ball, they quickly retreated and tried to guide the rhythm.

But Paul George, who received the ball, was not fooled, and even Sun Ce did not go on a fast break directly. Compared with this lineup, it is probably a collective brain-twitch for the Grizzlies to increase the rhythm.

Gobert went to the front court with the rhythm down, and tried to position himself under the basket... It must be said that Drummond Green defended players with average offensive ability very well, and it is even possible that he could defend positions 1-5 very well. Although he was mostly beaten when defending top players, there are only so many top players, and most of the players are role players, so Drummond Green is really good on the defensive end.

Gobert is a center who is likely to never develop his own offensive ability in his lifetime. His height and weight advantage can basically not be used against Drummond Green on the offensive end!

If he can't even position himself, how can he play high and high?

The simplest method doesn't work, and there is no way around it. Gobert is a player with extremely obvious strengths and weaknesses. He has worked very hard, but this is like asking Howard to practice basic skills like Duncan, which is impossible.

Anyway, he didn't attack with this in mind. Paul George signaled Gobert to keep threatening to eat cakes, and passed the ball to Aldridge on the left side of the free throw line, and then cut in from the left side, using Aldridge's body to lift the ball,

cut around the pile and under the basket!

Aldridge passed the ball in the high and low positions, and Paul George passed it after receiving it. At the same time, Sun Ce came to the sideline with Klay Thompson's off-ball pick-and-roll. Paul George passed the ball to Sun Ce. As soon as Sun Ce received the ball, Harden had already switched defense!

This speed is much faster than the Warriors' last game! There is no dead angle on the outside!

Harden's sturdy lower body pressed against Sun Ce, and Sun Ce didn't have much space in this position. Fortunately, Aldridge came to the right low position to block Gerald Wallace for the ball. Sun Ce passed the ball to Aldridge, and Aldridge forced it in the low position... and missed it! The turnaround jumper missed!

Curry, who was taken back, guarded the defensive rebound. I don't know what happened. Curry really had a lot of rebounding opportunities in the second round.

Sun Ce quickly retreated, Aldridge's low post... Sun Ce remembered that in the original time and space, after joining the Spurs, Aldridge was known as the king of low post. Although there were no tigers in the mountains and low post insiders were almost extinct, Aldridge's low post at that time was really amazing.

But now Aldridge is not the low post king whose low post ability has improved by leaps and bounds after learning from Duncan. Now he still mainly shoots mid-range shots and high-post turnaround jump shots. Low post back shots are also okay, but they cannot be used as offensive means.

Sun Ce and his teammates retreated quickly. Sure enough, Curry counterattacked directly after receiving the defensive rebound. Gobert was left behind. The Warriors had 5 vs. 4 in the frontcourt!

Curry passed to Harden while traveling. Harden broke to the basket and passed the ball to the left. Draymond Green caught the ball and hit a layup.

Speed ​​up! The Warriors' opening strategy tonight is to speed up like crazy!

Gobert just ran back to his own three-point line, but he could only run back...

Call a timeout? Sun Ce didn't do it this time. This situation is a huge disadvantage on the defensive end, but it is also an advantage on the offensive end!

When he arrived in the frontcourt, Sun Ce signaled Gobert to stand on the edge of the three-second zone and restrain Draymond Green. This guy's defensive connection is very important to the Warriors' overall defense.

It is not easy for Sun Ce to cooperate with the opponent's lineup. The opponent changes defense very quickly and has a strong ability to cut off passing routes. Just now, Sun Ce was blocked and wanted to pass to Gobert, but there was no chance. In this case, let's play alone!

Sun Ce came to the high position on the right side of the three-second zone and leaned on Iguodala to ask for the ball!

Defending Sun Ce was not a particularly friendly thing for Iguodala. Sun Ce received the ball, turned around, took it back, stepped back and shot a mid-range jumper...

"The king of turn-over jump shots is triggered at level 3. After the host turns around and retreats from this high post attack, the jumping height is temporarily increased by two small steps to a-, ignoring the impact of this retreat..."

There is a 30% probability of triggering a bonus that ignores the impact of jumping!

In addition, the "error" skill has a fixed effect of reducing the impact of shooting force when facing a player who is 5 centimeters shorter than him, and there is also the "Kobe version of the king of high post" high post turn jump shot. Shooting bonus, Sun Ce stepped back and hit the mid-range shot!

Sun Ce's advantage over Iguodala has indeed become obvious. Iguodala was able to interfere a lot with Sun Ce last season, but during the regular season this season, Iguodala's defensive effect on Sun Ce was It’s not that good. This time Sun Ce used an unusual turnaround and stepback jump shot. Although Iguodala reacted, he couldn’t adapt after all. Moreover, Sun Ce turned around and stepped back and shot. Now he can let the "King of High Posts" and The two skills of "King of Turnover and Jumper" are linked. The main reason is that "King of Turnover and Jumper" has the bonus effect of retreating. When Iguodala defends his back and makes a turnaround jumper and turns around well, Sun Ce can Choose the step-back jump shot!

Iguodala expected that Sun Ce would not be easy to guard against. Every year, every time he worked hard to improve himself and had a way to guard against Sun Ce, Sun Ce would be able to find new points from his existing skills. Way.

However, that won’t be a problem for the Warriors tonight!

After Sun Ce hit the ball, Draymond Green immediately picked up the ball and sent it to Iguodala, who pushed forward and counterattacked!

Sun Ce immediately stuck to Iguodala, but it failed to affect Iguodala's speed. Although Sun Ce weighed 104 kilograms, if there was a confrontation during exercise, he was still too slender, and his static resistance was not good enough. .

During the counterattack, Curry found an opportunity to receive the ball, faced Aldridge who was changing defense, and shot a three-pointer...

Aldridge didn't dare to fight and had no impact on Curry. Curry hit a three-pointer! The Warriors started with a 5-2 advantage!

During the transition between offense and defense, Sun Ce took advantage of Iguodala's defensive approach. After receiving the ball, he turned around and passed Iguodala, entered the paint to attract Draymond Green to help defend, and easily fed Gobert, tiptoeing. With a flick of his finger, he hit the basket.

This lineup of the Warriors can limit James. James's main scoring method is to break through the basket and fake step-back three-pointers that the opponent can predict well.

However, there is nothing he can do about Sun Ce, who is at least at the top level in three-pointers, mid-range shots, close range and basket attacks. Sun Ce can do whatever he wants.

But why doesn't Iguodala care if he is beaten by Sun Ce? Because they have long been prepared to be beaten by Sun Ce or Aldridge! Although Gerald Wallace unexpectedly defended Aldridge better than Draymond Green, the Warriors were struggling to defend Sun Ce alone.

The Warriors' opening strategy tonight is one word - rush!

To pick up the pace, no matter how much the Grizzlies want to stay in the game, the Warriors will have to start a fast break and rely on offense to gain an advantage at the beginning.

As for how to play in the future...that's a matter later. Tonight, the Warriors have a do-it-yourself mentality. They feel happy when they win, and learn from experience when they lose.

As for the Grizzlies, Sun Ce didn't start a fast break at the beginning because he saw through the opponent's thoughts and wanted to work hard to slow down the rhythm!
