One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-Three. Fight for the Lord!

After the running and gunning lineup came up, the Grizzlies' offensive slump immediately disappeared. This style of play is more familiar than the Grizzlies' current positional play based on triangle offense and Princeton. The offensive problems were solved immediately.

On the defensive end, Sun Ce directly defended Irving in this lineup, Anthony Davis went to pick and roll with Irving, and Klay Thompson switched defense. Sun Ce directly defended Anthony Davis.

However... Anthony Davis, who is close to the S-level ability evaluation, is already far more than averaging 25 points per game. He can't be defended at all! Tonight, Anthony Davis played like a bug.

Just like Sun Ce's opponents are not used to the first encounter with the Grizzlies every time he improves, Anthony Davis's progress, the Grizzlies were caught off guard when they played against Anthony Davis for the first time in the new season, and there was no other team and the Pelicans' regular season as a reference.

After the first quarter, relying on the 6-point lead at the beginning, the Pelicans led the Grizzlies by 4 points with 31 to 27 and entered the intermission.

The Grizzlies' response was still very effective. If they couldn't defend, they immediately used a running and gunning lineup to speed up and set the pace. Anthony Davis scored 18 points in the first quarter, which was not prevented. However, Irving was locked down by the running style and the defense of Sun Ce and Klay Thompson, and only scored 2 points. However, Irving also took advantage of the deterrence of Anthony Davis and got 3 assists in a single quarter.

Facing a young and powerful new superstar like Anthony Davis, it would be difficult to deal with him if he played with confidence.

Unfortunately, the Grizzlies tried a new starting lineup, which really gave Anthony Davis a chance to play with confidence.

Anthony Davis played so well against the defending champion in the regular season opener, and his confidence has been accumulated. He was not strong enough to face Sun Ce, James, Griffin and others last season, but now he is full of confidence!

In the second quarter, the Grizzlies continued to struggle. Anthony Davis, who had such an excellent start, was very excited and his adrenaline surged. He played well with several substitutes and the Grizzlies' lineup of Tony Allen, Carter, Paul George, JaMychal Green, and David West.

In terms of comprehensiveness, Anthony Davis is not as good as Paul George, who can play 20+8+8 data if he is given the ball, but in terms of scoring ability, single defense and assist defense, Paul George is not Anthony Davis' opponent.

Because of Anthony Davis' outstanding performance, the two teams have been in a melee, and the field has been in chaos. In the middle of the second quarter, the Grizzlies were beaten by Anthony Davis who was crazy and fell behind by 9 points! When Sun Ce came on the court, the score was 35 to 44!

The Grizzlies failed to turn the situation around in the first half, but Sun Ce managed to curb the decline after he came on the court. At the end of the half, the Grizzlies trailed the Pelicans by 8 points, 49 to 57, and barely allowed the Pelicans to widen the gap to more than 10 points.

Finally, after the halftime break, the Grizzlies adjusted from the unfavorable start. In the third quarter, Sun Ce, Paul George, Klay Thompson, Yi Jianlian, and Gobert taught Anthony Davis, who was in high spirits, a good lesson. The main reason was that Sun Ce focused on connecting the team and playing cooperation in the first half, and started to attack with all his strength in the third quarter. On the defensive end, he double-teamed Anthony Davis without restriction, defending the opponent's main shooter, and generally leaving the shot directly empty. This was a bet that the opponent had no bullets in his gun... No, it was a bet that the opponent could not make the shot.

Luckily, after Sun Ce scored consecutive back-to-back shots against Anthony Davis from a high position, the opponent's outside shooters, who were not so accurate, lacked confidence and shot less decisively. The Grizzlies scored 29 to 20 in the third quarter and surpassed the Pelicans by 1 point with 78 to 77.

In the final quarter, Anthony Davis regained his fighting spirit, and Irving also started to play singles with all his strength in the fourth quarter, avoiding Sun Ce as much as possible. If Sun Ce defended Irving, Irving would give the ball to Anthony Davis.

The Pelicans were counting on these two stars.

After Sun Ce scored 14 points in the third quarter, he also entered the state and led the team to compete with the Pelicans' double No. 1 picks.

At this time, the deep lineup played a key role! Relying on Sun Ce's 12 points in the final quarter and David West, who came off the bench, scoring 10 points steadily, the Grizzlies scored 34 to 31 in the final quarter.

In the end, the Grizzlies beat the Pelicans 112-108 with Sun Ce, who played for 38 minutes, scoring 37 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals, Paul George, 13 points, 7 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals, Klay Thompson, 17 points and David West, 14 points!

But the win was the win, and this game was really won by Sun Ce, who scored 25 points in the second half and overwhelmed Anthony Davis, who scored 20 points in the second half, and brought up the morale of the whole team.

Anthony Davis's performance of 33 points in the first half did make the Grizzlies a little confused! They have already felt the crazy state of this young superstar. Fortunately, they have Sun Ce, and Paul George is beside Sun Ce. In the second half, one person went all out to attack and the other went all out to organize the offense of the whole team, so they scored 63-51 in the second half and reversed the victory.

He played for 45 minutes, made 18 of 34 shots, including 2 of 6 three-pointers, plus 15 of 17 free throws, and scored 53 points, 16 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 blocks and 1 steal. Anthony Davis amazed the Grizzlies and Memphis fans!

The fans were very excited after the thrilling victory. Although they were frightened, the game was not important after winning. The most important thing was the excitement of the game! On the contrary, if they lost, no matter how exciting the game was, it would be meaningless to the fans on the losing side.

Sun Ce was really surprised by Anthony Davis this time. This super inside player who averaged 25+10+3+1.5+2 per game after the rookie contract in the original time and space was really amazing!

An inside player can average 25+... Randolph can't do it! Since the new century, the inside players who can average 25+ points per game are O'Neal, Duncan, Yao Ming, Nowitzki, Stoudemire, and Cousins. Now there is an Anthony Davis. Putting aside Cousins, the others have at least been the strongest in their respective positions.

Sun Ce was very excited to play against such an opponent. He was even happier after winning, but the opponent's lineup... made him, Sun, not very satisfied. It is obviously impossible to encounter such a hurricane like Anthony Davis every time he plays.

But if you want to expect Anthony Davis' teammates to explode, except for Irving, no one else can be counted on, and Irving... his probability of explosion is not as high as Anthony Davis.

When the reporter came to conduct the post-match interview, Sun Ce put away his regrets. When asked about Anthony Davis' performance tonight, Sun Ce responded: "Anthony is great. He successfully aroused my interest. I hope he can play so well next time. Don't let me down... Next time I will try to play with all my strength from the beginning to see if he can keep up."

After playing so well tonight and still losing, Anthony Davis felt a little desperate. In addition to Irving who scored 26 points, who else in the team can play? Valanciunas? This center is good. He cooperates well with him on the defensive end, but the two of them don't match at all on the offensive end. When he attacked, this technical center could only stand by and wait for the response. It's not that he doesn't want to cooperate, but the two of them really can't cooperate on the offensive end.

However, seeing Sun Ce's performance in the second half, Anthony Davis was convinced! Too strong!

He saw Sun Ce being interviewed, but he didn't leave. He approached secretly, wanting to hear what Sun Ce said in the post-match interview.

Anthony Davis was only 19 years and 3 months old when he was selected by the Pelicans. He entered the society in the small circle of NBA. Generally speaking, he was still a little like a child who had not grown up.

Hearing Sun Ce's praise, Anthony Davis was secretly happy in his heart - he successfully attracted the attention of the lord!

But the last sentence scared Anthony Davis' legs... Don't do this!

It was not easy to not be targeted by this guy in the past two years. Although he was a little disappointed, at least he was not surrounded every time he met the Grizzlies. Although the team kept losing, he couldn't remember whether he had ever won the Grizzlies...

But Anthony Davis was a little excited, and finally made Sun Ce and the Grizzlies have the idea of ​​​​encircling him again...

On Sun Ce's side, after accepting the interview, he finally noticed the big man behind him. Looking at the other party's uncertain expression... What's wrong? Want to fight after losing?

...

In the end, they didn't fight, because Anthony Davis just left with mixed feelings.

Losing didn't make Anthony Davis feel bad, because he played well. Even if he was disappointed with his teammates, it was offset a lot because he successfully attracted Sun Ce's attention.

But after hearing the content of Sun Ce's interview, Anthony Davis's wild thoughts made his mood more complicated than the empty cut.

However, during the post-match interview, Anthony Davis secretly ran behind Sun Ce to eavesdrop on the interview and rub the camera, which was seen by thousands of fans in the live broadcast of American cable TV.

Anthony Davis put his hands behind Sun Ce's back, like a bodyguard, and this picture made fans imagine...

But the biggest news tonight was the confrontation between Sun Ce and Anthony Davis in the second half, and Anthony Davis' amazing 53 points in a single game!

The Grizzlies won and turned the game around. They started unfavorably, but they were able to win later. It just showed the Grizzlies' deep strength again. The Grizzlies have always been so strong. This is something that fans are accustomed to. If the Grizzlies lose the regular season opener for the first time in 7 years, fans will think that this game itself is worth watching.

But Anthony Davis scored 53 points against the Grizzlies and blew up the inside combination of Sun Ce and Gobert, which is really amazing!

Moreover, Sun Ce and Gobert are the best defensive combination in the interior. JaMychal Green, Nance Jr., and David West were all beaten.

At this time, some sharp-eyed fans discovered the problem of the Grizzlies - insufficient interior tonnage!

Randolph's importance was immediately reflected. When playing against James, Griffin and others before, Randolph could withstand the opponent's impact at close range. This importance that cannot be reflected by data was immediately reflected after Randolph was gone.

David West is slow, Gobert and Yi Jianlian are not enough tonnage, and Nance Jr. and JaMychal Green can't be counted on. These two are not this way.

Aldridge has tonnage, decent mobility, and good defensive ability... Some fans have discovered that whether the Grizzlies' interior defense this season can be as comprehensive as in previous years, the burden actually falls on Aldridge, a veteran over 30 years old?

This is also the reason why Coach Hollins wanted to create a new combination even though he had planned not to make major changes to his playing style. He saw the problem in the preseason. Facing Millsap, their inside defense was not very good, so Sun Ce had to shrink more, and Sun Ce's deterrence against mid-range and long-range shots was weakened.

On the other hand, Sun Ce returned home after physical therapy and took a bath with the two girls... He wanted to do it with both hands, but this time it was Zu Goose's turn to be pregnant because she was obsessed with wanting to have a child... After the pregnancy was found out, she was complained by her mother for a long time, but her mother seemed to have seen through Zu Goose's mind a long time ago, and the little girl was pretty! The ideas of the man's parents and the woman's parents are always very different. My mother is now having a headache about how to tell her good sister about this matter. He kidnapped the girl and made her pregnant.

Sun Ce held back his restlessness and told Zu Goose to go back to his room to sleep before talking.

However, looking at the newly obtained "random skill upgrade card" on the system screen, and the "physical potion energy storage version" marked as being usable 5 times, his attention was quickly diverted, and his restlessness was suppressed.

He was about to play early in the second quarter tonight. He didn't plan to use physical potions against the Pelicans, but he also planned to use them, in order to continue the achievement of winning the opening game... In fact, this achievement is not important, what is important is that there are random skill upgrade cards to be obtained.

But Coach Hollins wanted to see more possibilities for the team, but Paul George played really well and dragged the situation. He, Sun, took a good rest, came back on the court, and led the team to start chasing points.

With a thought, the system prompt came.

"Host uses random skill upgrade card, skill randomly selected and upgraded... Congratulations to the host, skill: Error 4 level upgraded to level 5."

"Error 5 level:

Offense:

1. When the host faces a player with a height difference of 5 cm, if the host chooses to play one-on-one, the shooting force effect caused by turning, turning, leaning back, stepping jump shot and other defensive actions will be greatly reduced.

2. When the host encounters a switching opponent or double-teaming opponent in the team offense, and there is a player with a height difference of 5 cm between the host and the host, when the host chooses to shoot, the shooting force effect caused by turning, turning, leaning back, stepping jump shot and other defensive actions will be greatly reduced.

Defense:

1. When the height difference between the host and the defended object reaches 5 cm, the host's jumping height and bounce speed will increase by 2 small levels.

2. When the height difference between the host and the defended object reaches 5 cm, the host's lateral burst acceleration will temporarily increase by 2 small levels."

Lucky!

Sun Ce was still worried about how difficult it would be to deal with Anthony Davis in the future. He felt that even if Aldridge could play, Aldridge would not be able to defend Anthony Davis. He could limit him, but he might put Anthony Davis' energy on the defensive end.

Tonight, Sun was able to soar in the second half, which was related to the fact that Anthony Davis consumed a lot of energy in the first half. Even if Anthony Davis burst out of adrenaline due to excitement, he had to maintain the offensive efficiency in the second half, and his defense was not so good.

Of course, this was because Sun Ce only played as a power forward for more than 4 minutes, and the rest of the time he returned to the point guard position. The Grizzlies sent a regular power forward to defend Anthony Davis, and Anthony Davis cooperated with 3D players to defend Sun Ce. If Sun Ce was matched up with Anthony Davis, it would be difficult for Sun Ce to break through Anthony Davis. The opponent cooperated well with the center to defend, and was tall enough to interfere with the shot. Sun Ce was better at pick-and-roll and pull-up jump shots.

But then the offensive means would appear to be single.

He did trigger the "error" which was only level 4 before, but it slightly reduced the shooting force effect brought by technical actions, which was a little short of Anthony Davis.

And now, level 4 has been upgraded to level 5! It's full level! Just like the difference between other full-level skills and level 4, the entire skill has undergone a transformation when it is upgraded from level 4 to level 5!

Singles and team offense can greatly reduce the shooting force effect after technical actions! That is to say, it is equivalent to greatly reducing the impact of shooting after confrontation! Although there is a huge difference from reducing the impact of confrontation, after all, it is effective only when the height difference reaches 5 cm, and only a few people shorter than him may be stronger than him.

Even if the triggering conditions are met, if he is double-teamed and has no chance to lift the ball, it is useless. After all, NBA players have fast hands, and it is not very useful to fight against opponents who are not as good as him, but when facing Anthony Davis or Antetokounmpo or... and other tall and strong opponents, this skill can be very useful when it is upgraded to the full level!

Individual singles have improved in one aspect... You have to use the game to adapt. After all, when playing against Antetokounmpo, Durant and others, they used the most suitable methods to deal with the opponent. They rarely used the unsuitable ones, and there were not many outside opponents who needed this trick...

But no matter how you analyze it, it is always a good thing that this skill has been upgraded to the maximum level.

What Sun Ce is worried about now is the team's starting lineup.

Before, Sun Ce didn't quite understand why Coach Hollins wanted to create a new combination. In addition to the running and bombing combination of one big and four small with Yi Jianlian as the center, he also wanted to create a positional battle combination of one big and four small.

Now, after Sun Ce has experienced the game in person and read the discussions of netizens, he finally understood.

Randolph's departure has a huge impact on the team! It's so rare to find an inside player like Randolph who has both tonnage, mobility, and blocking awareness, but there's no way, the Kings paid too much money.

...

...

Falling asleep with worries, the next day, Sun Ce went to the gym for training, and was still worried about the starting lineup during the break.

However, not long after Sun Ce came today, Brogdon came to the gym for training at 8 o'clock.

Although Brogdon was very disappointed last night because he only played for more than 4 minutes and messed up his debut as a starter and was benched for only more than 4 minutes, Sun Ce's encouragement made Brogdon not want to give up.

This is the encouragement of the strongest basketball player in history!

Sun Ce looked at Brogdon's efforts and felt a little regretful. Based on his understanding of Coach Hollins, this hairless coach sometimes seems to be very wild in the game, and his coaching seems to be unrestrained and his rotation is also bold.

But there is a premise. Unless there is no rotation that needs to be contingent on the spot, every rotation combination of Coach Hollins is a combination that has been proven to be feasible before.

Coach Hollins's wave is based on strength and trust.

For Brogdon, a rookie, it is difficult for Coach Hollins to have any trust, just because this rookie's combat effectiveness is more colorful than expected, especially in defense. His athletic ability is average, but he is willing to do dirty work on the defensive end and adapt to the NBA-level confrontation and rhythm. Among the rookies who have played in 44 preseason games in the league, Coach Hollins has observed that Brogdon is the best.

But being bad is the original sin! Although Brogdon's strength is the best among the rookies, he cannot be related to the outside singles of the championship-contending teams. Coach Hollins needs such an outside singles point, but that is the last choice.

Sun Ce understood the purpose of this lineup after playing a game, which is to create mismatch opportunities for him to match up with the opponent's power forward. The game didn't go well last night because the opponent's Anthony Davis is also a master at preventing mismatches. In addition, Anthony Davis has Solomon Hill and Ivan Moore on the outside and Valanciunas on the inside to protect the frame. When the opponent's team is fighting hard because of the advantage, it is difficult to play with anyone. Looking at the starting lineup alone, the Pelicans are really good.

But Sun Ce's poor singles are not the key to the failure of this lineup in the first game. Sun Ce can create good opportunities to play without the ball against this lineup, mainly because of Brogdon, who is like a black hole of ball possession.

Quick ball distribution is very important in the one-big-four-small style of play.

Coach Hollins obviously will not give Brogdon, a rookie, too many opportunities to make mistakes. He must play one-big-four-small with the three major stars on the outside as the main attack point.

Sun Ce felt a little regretful. He saw the efforts of this rookie, and his strength was not bad. He used the ball well and shot well. The problem was that this guy had a bad second pass ability... Poor second pass ability?

Sun Ce's eyes suddenly lit up! Just at this time, Coach Hollins entered the training ground, and Sun Ce immediately came up...

After listening to Sun Ce's idea, Coach Hollins did not answer.

To be honest, this is a good idea, but can the rookie do it? Strength Coach Hollins really did not doubt Brogdon's strength. In terms of strength, the Grizzlies did choose the 30th pick well. A player with the 30th pick has the strength to start for a weak team when he enters the NBA. The method Sun Ce came up with does not require a strong point guard. The level of an ordinary starter is enough.

But whether he can withstand the pressure is very important. From the first game, Brogdon was not only not good at second passing, but also nervous. Otherwise, he could just shoot directly after receiving the ball with his tall body at the point guard position.

Coach Hollins is not optimistic about Brogdon's ability to withstand the pressure. For an older rookie who is ranked 30th, he will start in a championship-level team when he enters the NBA. The pressure can be imagined.

If you have the ability but cannot show it for various reasons, it is not strength. After all, the ability to withstand pressure, the ability to stay healthy, and even luck are all part of strength.

Coach Hollins did not directly reject it, mainly because the person who proposed this idea was Sun Ce. In his opinion, Sun Ce should have a "sense of identity" with Brogdon, because Brogdon's fate is quite similar to Sun Ce's. Both of them are outstanding in the same rookie class but have a low ranking. However, his views on Sun Ce and Brogdon are completely different. Sun Ce was not optimistic at that time, but Sun Ce entered the NBA at the age of 19 and a half, and Brogdon was 23 and a half years old. Even if Brogdon and Sun Ce were similar in strength at that time, their talents were far apart.

However, since Sun Ce has given Brogdon a chance, Coach Hollins has to let Sun Ce give up and try again.

Moreover, if Brogdon really has the ability to withstand pressure and can cheer up and play at the level of an ordinary starter after such a setback in the first game, then continue to use him!

It's not a big deal! If this attempt is successful, who knows about such things as misjudgment?

…

There was no training scheduled on the 19th. The players came to the training spontaneously. Brogdon didn't think about anything else. He just wanted to perform well when he came on the bench after being sent back to the bench, and he worked hard for this.

And after the training, Brogdon also asked the team editor for the tactical coordination video of the Grizzlies' game last season, and went back to study it.

Brogdon saw that Sun Ce was so strong and was still the first one to come to the gym to train. He deeply felt the frustration of "being stronger than you, more talented than you, and working harder than you", but he also changed because of this. Work harder.

However, on the morning of the 20th, the team’s training day, Brogdon was surprised. The head coach did not say anything about letting him return to the bench. Instead, he made adjustments to his playing style during the tactical meeting and asked him to hold the ball. Got it!

Not to mention Brogdon, his teammates were also a little surprised, but it was just an accident.

Brogdon starts, that is, the first five or six minutes... Of course, that's not to say that those five or six minutes are not important, but they are very important. Otherwise, coach Hollins will not seek changes. One game only lasts 8 and a half minutes. In the fourth quarter, even if Brogdon is the first substitute at the point guard position, he cannot be paired with all starting teammates for most of his playing time.

It’s just that most of the Grizzlies players don’t really care about this matter. Playing time, ball rights, shot rights... Do you need to fight for these when playing next to Sun Ce?

As a basketball player, I am lucky enough to be teammates with Sun Ce. Isn’t it nice to think about how to help the team win the championship and wear a ring?

The "Lord's Big World" museum next door has already displayed photos of the past four championships and replica championship rings, replicas of the O'Brien Cup and replicas of the championship flags recording each champion member. Versions are also being produced, and all players who have won awards have had staff go to their homes to collect model samples. Players who have left the Grizzlies are treated equally... What does this mean?

This is glory!

The new tactics have added some opportunities for Brogdon to perform, but they are limited to those few minutes, and it can be seen that this is because Paul George is a good setter and Brogdon has no choice but to do so. Coach The team may still want to continue to develop a new combination of one large and four small position battles.

If the team becomes stronger, it will have a better chance of defending the title. That is a dynasty! Carter, Yi Jianlian, and JaMychal Green, three players who have won championship rings in the first two times, care more about this, otherwise they would not take a salary cut to stay. On Carter's side, there are also teams that offer middle-class contracts. At Carter's age, No one will doubt that his status will decline if he changes to another team. With a certain level of strength and two championship experience, the Lakers, Warriors, Bulls and other teams are very hungry for Carter.

While the Grizzlies were preparing for the game, the Spurs also came to Memphis.

After a day of preparations, the Grizzlies have made some "improvements" in the coordination of the senior and junior players in the starting lineup. Regardless of Brogdon's status as a rookie and the lack of trust from the coaching staff, this adjustment can be considered After all, this can be regarded as an adjustment to better activate the characteristics of the players.

On October 21st, the Grizzlies faced the Spurs, their second opponent in the regular season this season.

After Duncan retired, the Spurs' lineup was worse than the Spurs team in Sun Ce's original time and space. Gay was surpassed by Leonard last season. The Spurs have not been able to get Aldridge, Rondo left, and Diaw The expired contract was traded away...but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse. The Spurs defeated the Mavericks and Rockets back-to-back in the first two games.

The starting combination of Parker, Danny Green, Gay, Dwayne Diamond, and Gasol still has some strength. The substitutes are shocking Patrick Mills, Ginobili, Jonathan Simmons, and David -Lee, Davis Beilstein, played well in the first two games.

Without Duncan, the most critical part of the Spurs system is gone. This system will not be any better than the systems of the Hawks and Nuggets in previous years, but the ability to utilize role players is still there, but compared to When Duncan, the backbone, is here, they now rely more on touch because the defensive end is not good.

However, the Spurs felt surprisingly good at the beginning of this season. Tonight, the Grizzlies also encountered the same situation!

118 to 132, after a head-to-head battle, the Grizzlies lost to the Spurs by 14 points. For the first time in three years, they lost after playing only two games!

…

Gay had 27 points, Parker had 15 points and 9 assists, Ginobili had 26 points, Danny Green had 14 points, Gasol had 13 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, Patrick Mills had 14 points, and David Lee had 10 points and 7 assists. plate……

After the game, Sun Ce returned home and lay on the sofa. He looked at the game report of 7 opponents scoring in double figures. It was a pain in the butt. The opponent's shooting touch was so good tonight that people didn't know how to beat them, especially Gay and Ginobili, the Grizzlies have done a good job of defending these two, but the opponent can make a shot even if he twists his body!

This starting state is so good that it feels incredible!

The ball has been playing for a long time, and this is not the first time he has encountered this situation. Sun Ce is just a little bit pained by this situation. To talk about how well the Spurs played tonight... they have smooth running and fast passing. , these three points make it feel good.

The Grizzlies' offensive coordination tonight was mediocre from the beginning, and they still scored 118 points. You know that the Spurs' defense is really broken. With or without Duncan, the difference is too obvious. The Grizzlies really lost. In terms of 2 of 15 three-pointers, there will always be a few games every season where this happens. They make 2 of 15 three-pointers and the opponent makes 15 of 26 three-pointers. This is very difficult.

It was just a regular season game. Since they lost, Sun Ce chose to analyze the problem. Why did the Grizzlies' offense fail to perform well in the face of the Spurs, whose defensive level plummeted without Duncan.

At this time, Aldridge could not play and Randolph left. These two points entered Sun Ce's sight. This meant that the team's three best inside players were gone, and the remaining one was a defensive center. The Grizzlies insisted on maintaining their previous style of play, and naturally there was a big problem.

This was not a problem of whether the opponent's defense was good or not, but they had problems themselves, and the cooperation was always not in place.

Does this mean that the decision not to make big changes was wrong? Sun Ce thought of this and decisively denied this idea.

First, Aldridge has not returned yet, and secondly, the team has been trying to solve the problem of losing one or two successful lineups after Randolph left.

Thinking of this, Sun Ce reviewed the game against the Spurs tonight. He, Sun, scored 27 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal, which was neither good nor bad.

Paul George scored 17 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 steal, which was also okay. The scores of other players were also acceptable. After all, their team scored 118 points.

Brogdon, the key player in the 1 big 4 small lineup planned to solve Randolph's departure, left a deep impression on Sun Ce tonight. He didn't play well. He played for 19 minutes, 9 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, and 5 turnovers... The Spurs counterattacked more tonight, and several of them were caused by Brogdon's passing errors.

But this made Coach Hollins give Brogdon more playing time, because Brogdon dared to play, but he lacked experience, did not know his teammates well enough, and did not cooperate well... These are all things that can be improved, and they can definitely be improved.

Sun Ce's new method is to let Brogdon hold the ball, and he, Sun Ce, will act as a pick-and-roll executor, using his ability as a pick-and-roll executor to help Brogdon create a pass opportunity.

It's that simple, so Coach Hollins agreed to try it, and the effect is not bad. Brogdon was more courageous tonight than in the first game. He passed when he should pass and broke through when he should break through. The key is that after he became bolder, when Brogdon played again as a catcher and shooter, he shot decisively after receiving the ball, with a hit rate of 3 out of 5, a three-pointer, and 2 out of 2 free throws, which was a very good performance without the ball.

When there was a ball, there were more flaws, and the second pass was completely gone. When playing without the ball, he threw the ball after receiving it... But the running position to catch the ball and shoot was really beautiful! Sun Ce has already planned to find Klay Thompson and let Klay Thompson recruit a younger brother... This kind of thing of recruiting a younger brother is definitely not the third of the team, let the fourth of the team recruit a younger brother.

To say that Sun is not bad without the ball, and the running position of catching the ball and shooting is also first-class, but he thinks it's troublesome. With the more powerful Klay Thompson, he thinks it's okay to be lazy.

Despite the bad start, Sun Ce chose to respond positively. In the first seven years of his career, Sun Ce had seen all kinds of storms. He had reached the top, but also had two second-round exits and one Western Conference Finals defeat. He had gone through all those difficult times...

This season started with an injury, and it seemed destined that this would not be a season as peaceful as the past two years. Sun Ce also chose to respond positively.

…

Not only was Sun Ce happy about Brogdon's performance after he became bolder, but his teammates were also quite surprised - this rookie is good! After 5 turnovers, he was able to decisively pass the ball and send the 4th assist... I can't say how good this is, but at least it's not bad! If you make a mistake in predicting your teammates' running positions, just watch your teammates' running positions more. If you don't grasp the timing well, just practice more.

If there is a problem, it is the ball possession rate. He played for 19 minutes, 4 assists and 5 turnovers, and there were seven or eight minutes of pure no ball play, which can prove how sticky Brogdon is to the ball.

However, there are good aspects. When reviewing the game after the game, teammates were also happy about Brogdon's selection. During the training, this guy's overall level was already above Carter, and it was not worse than Mo Williams and Sessions last season. Now he has gradually become part of the team's strength in the game, and teammates are naturally happy.

On the plane, Brogdon felt that his teammates' attitude towards him was better. He was very happy. He didn't think it was snobbish... Which of these players needs to be jealous of him? Moreover, he originally believed that only the strong can be treated preferentially.

Jaylen Brown envied Brogdon's treatment, but there was no way. He didn't have a second of playing time in the first two games. He could feel the gap between himself and Brogdon. He was confident that he could become stronger, but he was indeed not qualified.

However, this time when he went to the away game, back-to-back, Jaylen Brown was told that he had a chance to play, because Tony Allen would not play in the second game of the back-to-back, so he, the No. 8 pick who currently only has pure defensive ability, will finally have his first regular season appearance.

They entered the NBA together, were selected by the same team, and did not favor anyone in the summer and training camp. Brogdon had the flying man as his coach, and Jaylen Brown had Tony as his coach. There was no jealousy, and the relationship was very good. After the first game, the two encouraged each other. After the game last night, when Coach Hollins announced that the rotation strategy would continue this season and Jaylen Brown would play in the game, the two encouraged each other again.

Brogdon and Jaylen Brown were chatting when Klay Thompson walked to their seats.

As the two watched, Klay Thompson pointed at Brogdon and said, "Third Brother said that you and I are destined to be together. When you arrive in Dallas, wait for me at the American Airlines Center in the afternoon and I will teach you how to play."

Brogdon was stunned. He thought he had done something wrong, but he didn't expect that Sun Ce had found a teacher for him!

Jaylen Brown next to him was so envious. He is one of the three best three-point shooters in the league! The best 3D shooter without the ball! Defense and three-point shooting, even Carter at his peak, can't compare to Klay Thompson!

Brogdon was so excited that he didn't know what to say after he reacted, and could only shout: "Fight for the lord!"

Others in the cabin didn't know what happened here, but followed and shouted playfully: "Fight for the lord!"

Klay Thompson was as calm as ever in the suddenly noisy environment, shook his head and said: "We are one family, we should call each other Brother San."
