Three Hundred and Thirty-One. The Nightmare of the Bully
He was so lucky that he met the other party's Chinese rookie who was famous for his explosiveness!
Larry Brown and his players were depressed as hell.
The most frantic one was Boss Joe behind the bench. He couldn't help shouting from behind the bench: "How did you defend? Flank him! Don't let him score anymore! Do you want that bastard to score 60 points?" ?”
This retired guy is here again! Larry Brown didn't even want to talk about it, this guy just wanted to double-team. This era is no longer the era when their role players were only responsible for defensive scoring and relying on cakes.
Of course, Larry Brown believes that Jordan's unbelievable one-on-one strength will play better in this era. He feels that the overall strength of the players is actually beneficial to the performance of superstars. Casually shorting out the increasingly good role player shooters, Jordan would definitely have noticed this on the offensive end if he was a player.
But if Jordan coaches...
Larry Brown thought it was beautiful.
However, the ideologies of coaches and players are still very different. Larry Brown doesn't want to talk to Jordan, but the players really don't want to see Sun Ce score as he pleases...
...
Back from the timeout, Sun Ce was replaced and rested for a few minutes.
Coach Hollins still wants to win. Even though he is rested, he must try his best to win if he has a chance to win.
If you win this game, the next game will be much easier!
Then you have to allocate your physical strength well. With a lead of 10 points, Coach Hollins first arranged a wave of defense.
Marcus - Williams, Anthony - Parker, Battier, Carroll, Haddadi lineup was replaced.
Marcus Williams' defense...is poor, he can only rush, and the perimeter defense mainly depends on Battier and Anthony Parker. The former is good at defending pitchers, and the latter has a good awareness of close-range defense.
For more than half a season, Carroll hasn't made any progress on the offensive end. He still only has unreliable three-pointers in the early 30s on both sidelines, but the defensive end has improved relatively quickly. After all, he will get a tens of millions of contracts in the future As a 3D player, Haddadi is slow, but he is high enough to defend the basket, his awareness is almost there, and the opponent's inside offensive awareness is also poor.
The Bobcats still had a defensive lineup. Larry Brown never thought about offense. Yao Ming's offensive tactics were so rigid that he never thought about improving them. The players figured out their own way.
With this lineup of the Grizzlies, it is true that in the last two minutes, there was no goal in a sports game. Only Marcus Williams made a foul and made two free throws to get two points.
But the Bobcats' offense was bad enough. Coach Hollins' arrangement was to defend desperately. This was all successful. The Bobcats only scored 4 points in the last two minutes.
After the first quarter, the Grizzlies led 27 to 19 by 8 points.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Grizzlies continued with this lineup, defending against the Bobcats, mainly because the opponent was strong. The Bobcats are good at making the opponent's offense as bad as theirs, and then rely Rich low-scoring experience to defeat opponents.
But when I met the Grizzlies lineup whose offense was as bad as Xiang... the defense was able to defend, but it always felt weird.
More than three minutes before the second quarter, the Bobcats played a wave of 6 to 2, and finally narrowed the point difference to less than 5 points.
29 to 25, the Grizzlies are still leading by 4 points. Coach Hollins called a timeout, and it is almost time to replace the existing main players.
Sun Ce, Gay, Jordan Jr., and Sam Young were called by name.
In addition to Anthony - Parker, the other four were replaced.
Sun Ce took off his training uniform, and came to assistant coach Jogel with four teammates who were going to play together to listen to the defensive arrangement.
After the arrangement, Jogel handed over the tactical board to Sun Ce again.
Coach Hollins wanted to strangle his assistant coach to death!
Although it's really not as good as this rookie who bought two local literature stalls who don't know where and read it every day, but can we be more reserved?
We are coaches, don't lose face!
...
After a timeout, Sun Ce came up with a pick-and-roll and then broke through to the low post with an Ellis-style acceleration and a Curry-style layup that lifted the ball to avoid the defense and scored two points.
Immediately after a sideways hook from the baseline, a three-pointer after a pick-and-roll...
In more than 5 minutes, Sun Ce made 3 of 5 shots, 2 of 3 free throws, 9 points and 2 assists!
Jeremy Lin's explosive acceleration combined with Ellis' acceleration and change of direction while traveling is so easy to use. Jeremy Lin's S-level ability evaluation in the seven games at his peak can almost satisfy everything Sun Ce imagined he could do.
After all, it was Linsanity during the invincible seven-game winning streak. The Bobcats, a team in the second half of the Eastern Conference playoffs, could not stop them at all, even if they had Gerald Wallace!
With 3 minutes left in the first half, with Sun Ce's three-pointer, the Bobcats called a timeout again, and the Grizzlies led the Bobcats by 12 points 43-31.
Both teams scored very low. Although the Grizzlies' overall scoring ability is not bad, with an average of 99 points per game and a little bit more than 100 points, they only scored 43 points at the end of the half. The team tends to score poorly in the third quarter, and scores well in the first half and fourth quarter.
But the Bobcats only scored 31 points...they had no focus on the offensive end at all, and Sun Ce, who had 20 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in the half, made it impossible to stay focused on the offensive end.
When Sun Ce scored 20 points, the Bobcats players' minds were full of Boss Joe's words... Do you want that bastard to score 60 points?
Let alone 60 points, they are not willing to score 50 points or 40 points!
Only two players have scored 40 points on them this season, one is a certain No. 24 in Los Angeles, and the other is Anthony of the Rockets.
They don't want to have a third one, the two of the best scorers of the day, Sun Ce, a rookie, and they don't want to die!
The Bobcats players are thinking about it, and the head coach of the Grizzlies is also thinking about it.
Finally, the tactical board was not taken away this time!
Coach Hollins directly took the tactical board to change players, and after setting up the defense, he handed the tactical board to Sun Ce to arrange the offense.
Sun Ce saw that Coach Hollins replaced Battier with Gay to take charge of the main defense. Carroll played small forward and could carry a heavy striker. Cook came to replace Anthony Parker as a catch-and-shooter, and Jordan came up to play fast breaks or set up pick-and-rolls.
This substitution is in line with Sun Ce's requirements!
It's been halftime, and there is no need for too many arrangements. According to the defensive habits shown by the opponent today, Sun Ce emphasized the movement and adjustment of the offensive end to the teammates who played together...
Sun Ce is very excited now. He scored 20 points in 16 minutes and is expected to score 40+ today!
Now he feels that he has completely figured out the opponent's defense!
This is a feeling that I have never experienced with Harden's star experience card. In terms of strength, Jeremy Lin and Harden are definitely far behind. Jeremy Lin may not be worse than Harden, and in terms of reading defense alone, Jeremy Lin may be stronger at that stage!
At least when Sun Ce eats the star experience card, he can read the opponent's defense better than using Harden's star experience card!
...
After a timeout, the Grizzlies lineup of Sun Ce, Battier, Carroll, Cook, and Jordan played.
Bobcats side, Felton, Gerald - Henderson, Gerald - Wallace, Muhammad, Chandler's strongest defensive lineup play.
Although Gerald Henderson is good, his defense is very popular with Larry Brown. His defense was instilled by his star father since he was a child.
His father, also named Gerald Henderson, was an outside defender of the Celtics in the Yellow-Green War in the 1980s. He averaged 13 points, 7 assists and 1.8 steals per game at his peak. The famous battle was in Game 7 of the 1984 Finals Six steals in a single game prevented Magic Johnson and helped the Celtics win the tiebreaker and became famous for a while.
On the offensive end, Gerald Henderson can't see the talent for the time being, but the defensive talent can be seen to have his father's demeanor.
The Lynx lineup is very tanky offensively. Felton missed Battier's defense in mid-range and forced a fallback jumper...
Sun Ce was about to collect the rebound when Gerald Wallace rushed in. The latter couldn't grab it by himself and didn't want Sun Ce to grab it, so he poked the ball out of bounds in the crowd!
For this guy who let his teammates block to grab rebounds, the Bobcats don't think he is doing rebounds, because this guy is really good at grabbing rebounds and counterattacking.
Before the triple-double king's alternative triple-double mode appeared, no one questioned Sun Ce's style of play.
But no matter what, the Bobcats must prevent Sun Ce from grabbing the rebound and counterattacking! Suppress Sun Ce's scoring opportunities from the source.
The opponent will defend frantically and start defending from the end of the attack, which is expected by Sun Ce.
If you land on the ground, you will land on the ground, at worst, the rhythm will be slower.
Sun Ce receives the serve and advances to the frontcourt, continues to play pick-and-roll with Jordan, Battier goes to the bottom corner, Cook waits at a 45-degree angle for Sun Ce to pick-and-roll and actively seeks the connection space with Sun Ce, Carroll waits for the pass on the sideline ball.
Jordan came up to help Sun Ce block Gerald Wallace. Sun Ce was about to use the pick-and-roll, but Gerald-Wallace did not go around the pick-and-roll, and directly crossed the three-point line from the upper line to block Sun Ce's three-point shot. Chandler's side is blocking Sun Ce's breakthrough route!
Seeing Jr. Jordan rushing into the inside lane unstopped...
"What do you want to fold some melons! I only get 20 points!"
Sun Ce uttered Sichuan dialect, and quickly threw the ball to the right side of the basket before he was about to be covered in a big man.
Jordan rushed into the inside line and jumped high to catch the ball in the air. His head was almost flat, and he smashed the ball into the frame!
Muhammad, who followed up, stopped jumping in the middle of the run. He was also a physically fit man back then, but now he is 33, how could he have time to defend from the sideline to the basket.
And... At his peak, he couldn't jump as high or run as fast as the sophomore opposite him.
After passing the ball, Sun Ce retreated and had confidence in Jordan.
But now he has a very bad feeling... A sense of danger hangs over his heart.
Sure enough, the next nightmare came...
For the Bobcats, the best situation has appeared, but for Sun Ce, the worst situation has appeared!
What the Bobcats do most seriously on the offensive end is not their own scoring, but preventing Sun Ce from grabbing defensive rebounds and counterattacking!
Not only is he messing around on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end. Whether Sun Ce is slowly accelerating his personal breakthrough from the center line, or playing a pick-and-roll, the opponent will attack him to death.
Sun Ce made a breakthrough, Gerald Wallace stuck close, and the inside line supplemented the flanking attack.
Sun Ce hit the pick-and-roll and directly attacked from the outside to prevent him from jumping after the pick-and-roll.
They don't care about Sun Ce passing the ball!
From the last three minutes of the second quarter to the third quarter... for more than a whole quarter, Sun Ce only made 4 successful shots, 1 of 4 shots and 2 of 3 free throws. In the ten minutes of the game, Sun Ce only scored 5 shots. point.
But there are 8 assists!
As for rebounds, I only thought of a rebound, and Sun Ce was stuck in a crazy position. Sun Ce only got a rebound by relying on the tip-up when Cook missed a three-pointer.
With 24 points, 7 rebounds and 14 assists in three quarters, the Grizzlies led 79 to 56 by 23 points in three quarters.
Boss Qiao looked at the score at the end of the third quarter and was so angry that he almost broke the back of the bench chair in front of him, and he was so angry that he vomited blood.
He felt that the kid on the other side did it on purpose!
But Sun Ce, who was about to be replaced, was about to vomit blood.
The other group of shameless guys actually flanked him, a rookie, infinitely!
It's okay to pinch, and the opponent still blocks him to prevent him from grabbing a rebound!
After the opponent lost more than 20 points, their actions became more and more serious. Looking at the serious expression of Coach Hollins, Sun Ce knew that he would not be able to play in the last quarter. It was definitely not because he could not collect the data, but because he could not be with his teammates. Fighting to the end... This is the most heartbreaking thing!
