I Don’t Want to Be the Boss

One Thousand Eight Hundred and Forty-Eight. Are You Happy Playing in the NBA?

The Nets sent out a combination of Livingston, Jarrett Jack, Wayne Ellington, Porzingis, and Lopez.

The three outside players can hold the ball, shoot mid-range or long shots, and the two inside players have three-point ability and good pick-and-roll cutting ability.

The Grizzlies sent out a combination of Sun Ce, Carter, Klay Thompson, Yi Jianlian, and Aldridge.

Entering the rotation time, coach Hollins guessed that the opponent would strengthen the inside attack, after all, the opponent's outside players were almost crying because of the Grizzlies' wing players.

When Porzingis came on the court, the fans on the scene cheered overwhelmingly.

Excellent athletic ability, amazing playing style, unlimited potential... Porzingis' unlimited future is visible. After 21 games, Porzingis has successfully conquered New York fans. There are even Knicks fans complaining why the Knicks did not use Howard to trade for the second pick. Knicks fans have completely forgotten their unscrupulous ridicule when the Nets selected Porzingis, and Nets fans have also forgotten their boos for Porzingis at the Barclays Center.

Hearing the cheers, Porzingis was also very excited. In addition to hoping to play against Sun Ce, he also wanted to show his ability against the Grizzlies, the defending champion team with unlimited brilliance.

The Nets attacked, Livingston advanced to the frontcourt, Lopez pulled to the sideline, Porzingis went to help Livingston block Sun Ce, Livingston broke through with the pick-and-roll, Yi Jianlian followed closely, but Livingston had the opportunity to go straight to the basket or mid-range jump shot but didn't do so, because he was afraid of Sun Ce's shrinking defense and blocking the pick-and-roll pass route. After the pick-and-roll, he saw Porzingis cutting in close to Sun Ce and immediately passed the ball to Porzingis.

Although Porzingis is so big, he has excellent control of the ball. After receiving the ball on the left side of the three-second zone, he turned his back to Sun Ce and wanted to directly grind into the basket!

But... he couldn't squeeze Sun Ce!

Porzingis turned right forcibly, trying to use his athletic ability to force a layup or cause Sun Ce to foul, but his forced turn shot was slapped on the backboard by Sun Ce who retreated one step inside the left sideline of the three-second zone!

Block and steal! Porzingis' athletic ability is so good that it can be compared with that of a power forward. His height is also the top in NBA history, but his biggest problem is that he is thin, lacks lethality under the basket, and plays very aggressively but his offensive ability is average.

After Sun Ce directly pressed Porzingis's strong shot on the backboard, he was surprised. What did this guy want to do? He was a beat late in counterattacking after grabbing the rebound. The other players on the Nets had already reacted and retreated. Sun Ce did not continue to counterattack, but passed the ball to Carter.

Porzingis was also dumbfounded.

It's okay that he couldn't squeeze Sun Ce, but Sun Ce could actually jump so fully under the confrontation! He can't do it!

Seeing Sun Ce pass the ball to Carter to advance, Porzingis came back to his senses and quickly retreated.

When he arrived at the frontcourt, he fell into a positional battle. After Carter advanced across half court, he gave the ball to Sun Ce and pulled away to the sideline. Klay Thompson began to move and run. Aldridge went up to give Klay Thompson an off-ball screen and took Lopez away.

Sun Ce also played pick-and-roll, looking for Yi Jianlian to do it.

After breaking through with the pick-and-roll, Sun Ce found that Porzingis was really good at defense! His huge body and excellent mobility made him do a great job in mid-range defense when defending against pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll, he broke through to the right side of the free throw line. Sun Ce immediately made a decision and passed the ball to Yi Jianlian on the left side of the free throw line, and then cut into the inside.

Yi Jianlian did not continue to go deep after receiving the ball, but stopped at the high position on the left side of the three-second zone. This area is his mid-range shooting range. Livingston knows this old teammate who won the championship together very well, and he sticks to him tightly, but Yi Jianlian did not rely on his height advantage to force a shot, but hung the ball to the basket.

Sun Ce turned around and cut in to receive the ball. The two people's pick-and-roll pass + reverse pass cooperation is extremely tacit. After Sun Ce received the ball in the three-second zone, he faked a shot, and Porzingis, who was chasing and defending, rushed over. Sun Ce received the ball under the basket and shook off the opponent, and the Overlord Dunk Level 3 was triggered!

Sun Ce forced through Porzingis!

However, Porzingis's continuous jumping ability is far better than other white players. He was shaken and rushed out, and then stood up again after landing, blocking Sun Ce who was trying to dunk.

Sun Ce was a little surprised when he jumped up, but it did not prevent his body from moving subconsciously. Sun Ce confronted Porzingis in the air. Porzingis's strength was suppressed by Sun Ce. Sun Ce pulled the ball to the right. When he confronted Porzingis in the air, the two seemed to stagnate for a while, and then watched Sun Ce "clang" and smashed the ball into the basket through Porzingis! At the same time, Porzingis was directly pushed out!

"Beep"

Accompanied by the scene of Porzingis falling to the ground without standing firmly, the referee whistled, Porzingis blocked the foul, and Sun Ce's goal was valid and he had to add a penalty!

Larry Sanders and Pierce on the sidelines, Livingston on the court all covered their heads in pain. This rookie is very motivated and aggressive, but if you think about it, Sun Ce can easily single out Livingston, why does he need to set a pick-and-roll? Isn't this aimed at this rookie?

As a fan of Sun Ce, have you never heard of Sun Ce's bad reputation? Or because you are a fan of Sun Ce, have you ignored the "poisonous hands" that Sun Ce had on those rookies in the past?

On the court, after Sun Ce dunked over Yi Jianlian, he celebrated by high-fiving him and then came to the free throw line. Looking at Porzingis who was pulled up by his teammates, Sun Ce raised his neck and said, "Hey, Platinum, how are you? Are you happy playing in the NBA?"

Sun Ce accidentally called out the nickname that domestic fans would give to Porzingis in the future. Porzingis heard Sun Ce's "welcome greetings"... Maybe Sun Ce's fans were all infected by Sun Ce, and their attention and observation angles on a thing were relatively strange. Porzingis was dunked and ridiculed by Sun Ce, but what he noticed was the "nickname" that Sun Ce gave him!

This made Porzingis a little happy, and it seemed that he left an impression in Sun Ce's mind!

Both offense and defense were beaten by Sun Ce... Porzingis had no choice. He was very excited to play against Sun Ce, but he mainly wanted to leave an impression in Sun Ce's mind. As for surpassing Sun Ce, Porzingis had such ambitions, but he was not a fool. In his mind, no one in the league today is better than Sun Ce, and he knew this very well.

Now the process is different from what Porzingis thought. Although he is thin and weak, he has the advantage of size, but he is no match for Sun Ce in terms of strength, speed, confrontation, etc., and he is also restrained by Sun Ce. After one round, he realized that Sun Ce was playing with him.

But at least he left an impression in Sun Ce's mind!

Sun Ce made the free throw, and the Grizzlies' lead expanded from 5 points to 8 points, leading the Nets 12 to 4.

Rivers doesn't know what to do now, and can't think of a way!

It's obviously difficult to play, and it seems that Sun Ce is still very interested in Porzingis. He stared at Porzingis and bullied him. He didn't play singles even if he could, and he had to find a way to match up with Porzingis.

The fans at the scene also saw that Porzingis and Sun Ce have a qualitative gap, and they are not players of the same dimension at all.

However, as the game progressed, Porzingis was still actively trying no matter how Sun Ce abused him. He could occasionally use comprehensive techniques and the help of his teammates to find scoring opportunities in the middle and long distance or when cutting in. On the defensive end, he was also trying to use his size and speed instead of his body to limit Sun Ce, and it worked... Talent really can't be concealed!

Rivers and the fans at the scene were worried that Porzingis would be played badly by Sun Ce, but no matter how badly he was abused, Porzingis did not give up. This reminded people of the 11th No. 1 draft pick Kyrie Irving and the 12th Damir Lillard, the spirit, pressure resistance, and adjustment ability of the superstars. Porzingis has already shown his talent and also showed his characteristics in this aspect tonight.

Porzingis played very hard on the court with the mood of "the lord abuses me thousands of times, and I treat the lord like my first love".

Sun Ce really respected Porzingis because of this, and then played harder.

On the Grizzlies side, the other players also played very hard. If the inside line was just Aldridge, Yi Jianlian, Nance Jr., Bargnani, and David West, facing the inside line combination of Lopez, Porzingis, Larry Sanders, and Thaddeus Young of the Nets, the Grizzlies would be at a disadvantage. But when Sun Ce went to defend Porzingis and Thaddeus Young, the Nets' inside line advantage was not big, and the Grizzlies' outside line advantage was so prominent at this time.

The Nets' outside line was all role players, and Pierce's level also declined greatly, which did not meet the Nets' expectations.

Driven by Sun Ce, the Grizzlies' outside offense maintained a good level, and inside, the two teams were fighting hard on defense.

In the third quarter, the Grizzlies, who led the Nets by 11 points at 58-47 after halftime, began to exert their strength. The combination of Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, David West, and Aldridge, led by Sun Ce, opened fire and scored a single quarter score of 36-27. With Sun Ce's buzzer-beating three-pointer from more than one meter away from the three-point line, the Grizzlies led the Nets by 20 points with 94-74, locking in the victory!

14 of 24 shots, including 4 of 6 three-pointers, plus 11 of 13 free throws, Sun Ce scored 43 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks, 2 steals, dunked Porzingis 3 times, blocked twice, and stole once... clocked out in three quarters!

In the end, there was no accident. Paul George pressed the team in the final quarter and helped the team easily beat the Nets 119-101, winning 8 consecutive victories and ending the first big game month with a record of 20 wins and 2 losses!
