One Thousand Seven Hundred and Eighty-Four. Chasing the Egg... Green Being Chased by the Egg
Think about the Bulls, who are similar in strength, and have a tendency to dominate the East. Rose dares to shout out the declaration "Who dares to beat me?", while the Warriors have experienced nightmare-level difficulty to get through the first round, and even hell-level difficulty to get through the second round...Steve Kerr is so envious of Sloan!
They all play pick-and-roll, and the difference in fate between people is too big.
The Warriors can't play a small lineup against the Grizzlies now. Playing a small lineup is very tiring. They can only play a small lineup for 30 minutes at most in each game, otherwise they will have to face the dilemma of the last game. The last game was completely uncontrollable. That is, the players are in good condition, so they can have a chance to drag it into overtime or even win at the last moment.
But it won't work tonight. Steve Kerr must ensure a win tonight, otherwise this season will be declared over.
The most important thing is physical strength! The second most important thing is rhythm.
With Curry, Harden, Iguodala, Salinger, and Thabeet on the court, Steve Kerr could only hope that this lineup could compete with the Grizzlies in the positional battle. Of course, he also hoped that the positional battle could gain an advantage and narrow the gap.
…
After the timeout, the situation that Steve Kerr feared the most appeared - the Grizzlies played the defense that drove the opponent crazy, and Sun Ce played with the easy off-ball offense at the beginning of the second half!
Although Curry took on the heavy responsibility right from the start and hit a mid-range shot from Harden's pass, narrowing the gap to 3 points, 80 to 83 behind, only one ball difference.
But Sun Ce turned around and used the threat of shooting to create a half-body breakthrough before Harden and Iguodala's double team formed. Then he made a cross step and changed direction. Iguodala moved to the left and Harden blocked from the right, but Sun Ce broke through to the left. There was no sense of incoordination. He broke through to the basket from the left side with his main hand exchanged. In the panic of Tabit's defense, Sun Ce caused Tabit to foul and scored 2+1!
After Sun Ce hit the free throw, the score became 86 to 80, and the Grizzlies led by 6 points!
It was the Warriors' turn to attack again. This time the Grizzlies defended very well. Tony Allen gave Curry a fierce physical confrontation. Curry, who received the ball on the wing and took a step to shoot a three-pointer, missed the shot because of the confrontation before shooting!
Under Iguodala's rush, Gobert slapped the ball out, Paul George grabbed the ball and quickly passed it to Sun Ce who was running fast.
When Gobert slapped the ball in the direction of Paul George, Sun Ce was already running fast based on his trust in his teammates, and there was a 1-on-0 opportunity in the frontcourt! The Warriors really couldn't catch up! After all, the ownership of the ball had not been decided yet. When they saw Paul George pass the ball to the center line, they saw that Sun Ce had already run to the center circle.
Sun Ce rushed all the way to the front court, very excited. When he entered the opponent's three-point line, the system prompt came!
"Performance type 2 level triggered, the host's 1-on-0 bounce evaluation for this fast break is temporarily increased by 3 small grades to A level, Vince Carter dunk bag has been equipped, and the minimum use conditions of Vince Carter dunk bag have been met. Random action is being drawn..."
In an instant, a dunk action temporarily appeared in Sun Ce's mind, as if his body had become accustomed to that action. Sun Ce rushed all the way to the free throw line and approached the arc of the reasonable collision zone.
At this time, everyone thought that he was going to do a light dunk as usual, after all, he was the legendary "non-superstar blocking and non-violent" historical single-season dunk king, and most of his dunks were civilians.
However, Sun Ce, who took a half-step jump outside the reasonable collision zone, jumped very high! Mainly compared to the usual dunks, the blue is very high! Warriors fans have always paid close attention to Sun Ce, and their understanding of Sun Ce is no worse than that of Grizzlies fans. After all, Sun Ce is a knot in their hearts that they can never untie.
Sun Ce jumped with all his strength,
and turned 270 degrees in the air, holding the ball in front of his chest with his right hand. When he turned 180 degrees in the air, Sun Ce swung the ball out of his chest and threw a small windmill. When the 270-degree turn was over and his body fell down, he pressed the ball into the basket with his side facing the backboard!
A small windmill dunk with a 270-degree turn!
In terms of how high he jumped, he certainly didn't jump as high as Paul George of the same height. In terms of how violent his dunk was, he certainly didn't jump as violently as James of the same height. In terms of the action of turning in the air, he was not as beautiful as Kobe back then.
But Sun Ce's action was too stretched! His slender limbs didn't feel a bit cumbersome in this dunk, but made a small windmill action look so stretched!
Although the difference was huge, Carter on the sidelines could see that this kid actually had a bit of his shadow!
Thinking of Sun Ce's ball control, Kobe's shooting, McGrady's basketball skills... and his dunking, it's amazing!
This ball directly stimulated the momentum of the Grizzlies!
Like everyone else, they thought Sun Ce would just dunk at random. Of course, a random dunk would also score two points, but that was just a psychological expectation. Sun Ce's beautiful dunk was a surprise.
There is no need to do anything earth-shattering. Sometimes the surprise is so simple. If Sun Ce's dunk is to prepare for Paul George, he will just dunk at random, but after people have already formed a fixed impression, he will do it like this, which is a surprise!
And this is a big blow to the Warriors.
Since Sun Ce has various dunks and the highest number of dunks in a single season in NBA history, although he has mostly passerby dunks, few people think that he has poor jumping ability. How can he have so many beautiful blocks without good jumping ability?
Sun Ce has many high-jumping blocks, especially vertical jump blocks when switching to the basket, which trigger the bonus of "The Pillar of the Sky" and "Olajuwon's Wristbands". There have been many bloody and violent blocks.
After Sun Ce's abilities in many aspects have been strengthened year after year, many people subconsciously think that Sun Ce's jumping ability has also improved.
For Sun Ce's many times of not jumping high, experts have given reasonable brain supplements-Sun Ce doesn't want to be too violent when dunking the ball, and wants to save energy and maintain his touch. Dunking is too violent, which will more or less affect his shooting, after all, it is like using meat to hit iron.
Then the Warriors have a reasonable brain supplement-that guy has started to show off, and people have already laid the foundation for victory!
This was the idea that came to the Warriors players at that moment. After a 6-point difference and a counterattack dunk opportunity, Sun Ce started to show off and even dunked an empty basket!
This directly led to the Warriors' next offensive error. Iguodala received the pass from Harden and passed it directly to Larry Sanders. The pass was too hasty! Harden had just entered the low post area when Iguodala couldn't wait to pass the ball, but he made a mistake!
Harden, who had just come to the left side of the three-second zone, wanted to counter-steal. Larry Sanders raised the ball high and didn't give Harden a chance to steal. He found Paul George and passed the ball out.
Although the Warriors were annoyed about this mistake, they retreated quickly. The foundation laid by Mark Jackson allowed Steve Kerr to win 60 games as soon as he took over as coach. It can be said that the foundation in all aspects was laid.
Sun Ce and Tony Allen went down quickly, Paul George advanced quickly, and Larry Sanders followed up.
Although Tony Allen has no offensive ability and is old, his physical fitness is not bad. On the contrary, he has top-level physical fitness, but he has no offensive talent.
When Tony Allen rushes like this, he can keep up with the speed, so he is naturally threatening.
Paul George and Sun Ce cooperated very well and accurately grasped a time difference. Sun Ce deliberately slowed down when approaching the three-point line. After Tony Allen entered the free throw line first, Sun Ce followed slowly from behind. Tony Allen rushed into the basket and turned around the baseline. He did not receive the ball, but he did not expect to receive the ball. This is part of the tactics. At the same time, Larry Sanders also cut in from the middle.
Draymond Green, Iguodala, and Curry, the three players who retreated to the inside, were attracted by Tony Allen and Larry Sanders, but when they saw that neither of them received the ball, they turned their heads and saw that Sun Ce received the ball at the left baseline! He was stopping and turning to rush to the basket! Just now, they didn't see Sun Ce rushing into the inside line, and subconsciously ignored it. They didn't expect that he was waiting for the opportunity!
Drummond Green rushed forward, but when he received a step inside the left side of the three-second zone, Sun Ce had already jumped up!
Thinking of Sun Ce's amazing turnaround dunk just now, thinking of Thabit being dunked by Sun Ce in the last game, thinking of Sun Ce's figure in the top 100 dunks every year... Drummond Green seemed to see himself appearing on the background wall.
Originally, he was at a disadvantage in this crucial third game, and his heart was extremely uneasy. Coupled with all the conflicts in the past that he dared not speak out, Drummond Green was furious and rushed towards the jumping Sun Ce!
Sun Ce just wanted to jump up and lay up. This position is the perfect position for him to jump and bend forward to Kobe-style layup. Unexpectedly, Drummond Green suddenly came up! Suddenly, Sun Ce lost his balance in the air, and because he didn't jump high this time, Drummond Green's thigh went towards Sun Ce's vitals when he rushed up!
At this moment, Draymond Green, who was about to jump up and give Sun Ce a fatal blow, slipped! He sat back on a stool, and Draymond Green sat on the ground with a "pop" sound, accompanied by Draymond Green's screams. The scene was painful to watch!
But it was not over yet. Then, Draymond Green let out an even more violent scream! Although Draymond Green himself slipped, he had already made the move to collide with the jumping Sun Ce. Sun Ce lost his balance in the air and fell directly on Draymond Green!
