One Thousand Eight Hundred and Thirty-Six. The Undefended Little Bully

At 7:30 in the evening, the game started. Gobert beat Hibbert to win the jump ball, and the Grizzlies took the lead.

Although Gao Yuanyuan is of little use, his height of 218 centimeters is not just a decoration. He is really a weapon to limit scoring in the low post. Neither Sun Ce nor Aldridge dare to play in the low post.

But it doesn't matter, Sun Ce came to the right side of the free throw line and leaned on Leonard to ask for the ball!

Leonard doesn't talk much, but he plays extremely hard. Even though he reduced his weight to 105 kilograms in the summer, he is still stronger than Sun Ce, who weighs 108 kilograms. He can also catch the ball better than before in a entangled way.

Paul George did not pass the ball to Sun Ce. Although he was excited when facing James' defense, he did not play in isolation. Instead, he passed the ball to Aldridge who immediately pulled out from the left baseline in the middle distance. Sun Ce moved around Aldridge. When he came out to receive the ball, he immediately followed Leonard's defense and turned around to cut in. Aldridge received the ball without stopping. With his excellent awareness of high and low ball distribution, he immediately passed to the right side of the reasonable collision area. Sun Ce cut into the inside. Just in time to catch the ball, Hibbert took off to defend!

Under Hibbert's defense, the moment Sun Ce took off, he handed the ball from his right hand to his left hand. Hibbert subconsciously tried to block Sun Ce's left hand, but Sun Ce switched the ball from his left hand to his right hand on his chest during the jump. Immediately afterwards, he faced off against Hibbert. At this time, Hibbert had no chance of interfering with the ball. Sun Ce smashed the ball into the basket through Hibbert, who did not dare to move forward!

Sun Ce turned around at the start and cut in to catch the ball and dunk Hibbert!

My jumping ability is just okay, not high, and the dunk action is not violent, but the dunk action is really beautiful, and it looks familiar to people at first sight. After thinking about it for a while, I remember, isn't this why Kobe is young? Is the chest bar buckle your best at that time?

Is this... a tribute to Kobe?

When he realized who Sun Ce's dunk action looked like, Kobe himself had such an idea.

But Kobe immediately denied the possibility of "paying tribute". The dead kid on the opposite side was not that kind of person at all. The dead kid had enough respect for people or things, but he was definitely not the kind of person who would "pay tribute" during the game. Or people who "let go", this damn child can do it, it can be described in one sentence - I can do everything you can do, and I can do what you can't do!

Sun Ce retreated from defense and high-fived Aldridge to celebrate. Aldridge's high-post passing was better. When he and Olajuwon learned low-post skills in the summer, Aldridge obviously learned some other things, such as Olajuwon. Although Zhu Wangna was not well-known, he was one of the top high-level coordinators in the league at that time, which strengthened his ability in this area.

Sun Ce was also very excited. He just got the Kobe dunk package and the first attack had an effect.

In contrast, Carter's dunk bag has extremely high requirements for jumping.

The requirements for strength are also extremely high. Kobe's dunk package requires higher hand skills and waist and abdominal strength. Of course, Kobe also has many dunks that require high bounce and still require hand skills and waist and abdominal strength, but not all of them.

But with this ball, Sun Ce immediately understood why Hibbert collapsed. This guy got too many whistles last season and was so stunned that he didn't dare to fight in the paint!

In the past, Hibbert didn't commit too many vertical jump fouls when defending and blocking shots inside. Most of his fouls occurred when guarding pick-and-rolls. As long as the post vertically jumps, he can make a lot of small moves in the air, and he is not afraid of it. work hard.

In fact, it can be like this now, but there was indeed a period of time last season when the power movement in the inside confrontation was very strict. Hibbert was called for a lot of fouls. Now Hibbert has a psychological shadow and he just doesn't dare to use power. confrontation.

This caused Hibbert to let go inside and collapse. Not only that, he also failed to reduce the number of fouls he committed. Because he was afraid, his actions were not as smooth as normal, and he was more likely to commit fouls.

Over time, Hibbert no longer even knew how to defend the inside.

And the technical obstacles caused by this kind of psychological barrier are almost irreversible!

When the Lakers attacked, their mobility was almost the same. His height, spring speed and jumping height were not as good as Hibbert's. Gobert was very good at interfering with James who rushed into the paint at the beginning. James missed the shot!

Gobert blocked the rush of Hibbert and James, and Sun Ce pulled back to grab the defensive rebound!

Gobert dares to fight under the same rules. He knows that under the necessary defense, the more afraid he is, the easier it is to become a background and the easier it is to commit a foul. In this case, it is better to stick to the defense he is accustomed to. Of course, he must defend according to the rules. There will be adjustments, but don’t be afraid.

In one round, the Lakers felt sore. Hibbert was too far behind Gobert. Nene was much easier to use than Hibbert and was cheaper.

But there is no way. In order to get the young and powerful coach Vogel, they have to get cheaper Nene and a future first-round pick before they agree to give the coach to them. The Lakers will have a long-term future. It is definitely a good thing, but now I have to bear this pit.

However, Hibbert is not completely useless. Hibbert can't stop the breakthrough. But when the opponent's center cannot open up space, as long as Hibbert is under the basket, few people will play in the low post. With his height of 218 centimeters, Hibbert's static defensive dominance under the basket is still very strong. With experience and greater weight, he is stronger than Gobert.

When the Grizzlies attacked, Paul George came to the front court with the rhythm, and passed the ball to Sun Ce who successfully blocked the position. Leonard didn't dare to go around the front now. Going around the front would be to send Hibbert to Sun Ce for a dunk.

Sun Ce successfully received the ball, feeling the pressure from behind, and Sun Ce was also very excited. From the preseason of the new season to now, it was the first time that Sun Ce encountered an opponent who could defend one-on-one with him. No one in the Hawks could defend him before, and Aldridge beat the opponent's inside line. Although Hayward of the Pacers was good in defense, it was just good and could not be related to the top.

Leonard is different. This is the best player in active one-on-one defense. He is the only super defensive master who can have the strength of the best defensive player purely by one-on-one defense.

Sun Ce took action immediately, turned left with his left foot as the axis, and stepped his right foot to the left and back, with a large turn of the body. The ability to make this move is directly related to Leonard's weight loss and Sun Ce's weight gain, and the strength gap is not that big.

Leonard moved immediately, but only took half a step back. As Leonard expected, Sun Ce suddenly turned back. Leonard pressed forward quickly. However, when Leonard pressed forward, Sun Ce's right foot returned to its original position but his body did not stop moving. Sun Ce slapped the ball to the middle with his right hand, and his left foot stepped to the middle at the moment when his right foot landed. From the action, Sun Ce turned 180 degrees and then turned 360 degrees, passing by Leonard's right side!

Leonard retreated and advanced, and in order to maintain the speed, he did his best to move. His momentum was old and he did not stop Sun Ce!

Moreover, Sun Ce's acceleration after turning around surprised Leonard!

"High Post Back King (Kobe) Level 4" was triggered! Sun Ce's burst acceleration temporarily increased by two small grades to S level!

Gobert saw Sun Ce rushing in again and quickly threw him away. Hibbert was stunned. Why is he here again! Without time to react, Hibbert immediately pressed forward and confronted Sun Ce who was jumping. Although he was not blocked and Sun Ce's strong shot was off target, the referee whistled and Hibbert committed a defensive foul!

So strong!

The Lakers felt that Sun Ce was even stronger than last season. Not only them, but even the fans at the scene still felt that Sun Ce was so strong based on his performance in the past few years!

In the first preseason game before, Sun Ce showed his strength, but it was a preseason game after all, and the opponent was just like that. Moreover, Sun Ce mainly showed that he had strengthened his low post. Tonight, Sun Ce couldn't show his low post skills at the beginning.

The Lakers also thought that Sun Ce strengthened his low post in the summer, because they knew that Sun Ce went to learn low post skills from Olajuwon. With Sun Ce's body size, if he could improve his low post to the top level, it would be like playing against the Hornets' inside players.

But I didn't expect that Sun Ce actually used some of his low post singles skills in the high post! This is still related to Sun Ce's excellent static physical condition. It is not purely based on static physical condition, but Sun Ce can rely on static physical condition to threaten and attack with athletic ability on the basis of the speed and flexibility of a real point guard. Not only that, they believe that Sun Ce can switch and connect well between the two, because Sun Ce used to play like this, but now he seems to be stronger!

Sun Ce went to the free throw line. His performance at the beginning put great pressure on the Lakers, but it only shocked the Lakers. They also have James with similar strength. Maybe Sun Ce is a little stronger, but James and Kobe have been stronger. It's just that age makes them feel more pressure. Sun Ce is still more than a month away from turning 26! When they were stronger than Sun Ce, they were the strongest in the two years when they were 28 or 29 years old! They are not as good as Sun Ce at the same age.

Moreover, this season has just begun!

Lakers head coach Vogel replaced Hibbert with Ed Davis after Sun Ce made the first free throw, forming a mini inside line.

Sun Ce also made the second free throw, and the Grizzlies led 4-0 at the beginning.

Gobert didn't even go for the offensive rebound. When the opponent changed players, Gobert switched positions with Paul George. Gobert and Sun Ce high-fived and ran directly back to the backcourt, preventing the Lakers from starting a fast break.

The Lakers' offense had to fall into a positional battle this time. After James advanced to the frontcourt, he gave the ball to Leonard who was leaning on Sun Ce to ask for the ball. Leonard received the ball and made a beautiful high-post back-to-back jump shot!

Sun Ce's single defense is almost the same as Klay Thompson, but he can't defend Leonard either!

Although Leonard's offensive level has just reached the top level, similar to Klay Thompson, Leonard's offense and defense are somewhat "biased". Now Leonard seems to be born for one-on-one. At this stage, Leonard's pure single defense and pure singles are super strong!
