Four Hundred and Twelve. A Tingling Confrontation!
Sun Ce and Nowitzki have one similarity now, that is, they are fearless!
Nowitzki played in the first round twice in the past three years. He played the second round once and was bloodbathed 4-1. Nowitzki is at the worst time of reputation. He didn’t know how much pressure he had experienced. After Paul's defense, he shot as much as he liked.
On Sun Ce's side, after he figured it out, the pressure was gone. He felt that the opponent's inside defense was weak, so he followed his inner judgment and made a decisive breakthrough or a pick-and-roll breakthrough!
When the opponent's defense is inclined, give the ball to the high-post Gasol, and he will catch the ball without the ball and score or contain the defense to help his teammates score.
From the looks of the scene... Although Sun Ce is far behind Nowitzki in terms of skills, Sun Ce is just as stupefied as he is only focusing on hitting the basket and scoring the ball. His performance is not much worse than Nowitzki's performance!
With Nowitzki as the tactical core, why did Coach Carlisle abandon this style of play and turn Nowitzki into a pure scorer?
Because the tactic with Nowitzki as the core is to use Nowitzki to help his teammates score, and to block Nowitzki as a pure end point is for his teammates to help Nowitzki score. There is a big gap between the two!
Just like now, Sun Ce is obviously much weaker than Nowitzki, but he is rushing to score. Jordan helps him score again, Gasol Jr. helps him score, Battier and Anthony Parker are two pitchers Opening up the space is also helping Nowitzki score.
The strength of the Grizzlies' core lineup is not bad, and their Mavericks don't have a center who can guard the inside.
Sun Ce and Nowitzki really went crazy!
Sun Ce and Nowitzki played so well, the head coaches of the two teams changed around the idea of helping them play well.
Coach Carlisle replaced Nowitzki's core style of play with a pitcher and a second single player. As for defense... it's not that he didn't want to take care of it, but he couldn't take care of it.
Coach Hollins is much simpler. He replaced Sun Ce with a pick-and-roll player, a runner who can catch the ball, and a player who can catch and shoot three-pointers... When they formed the lineup, they recruited according to this requirement.
By the end of the second quarter, the Grizzlies still led by 4 points!
64 to 60, the Grizzlies scored 32 points in this quarter, which was equivalent to the first quarter!
The Mavericks played better in this quarter than in the first quarter, scoring 33 points in a single quarter!
Sun Ce scored 13 points and 4 assists in a single quarter,
Already had 23 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists in the half, but Nowitzki performed better with 31 points in the half!
After Dirk Nowitzki scored 16 points in the first quarter, he also scored 15 points in the second quarter. He scored 31 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in the half.
...
Halftime, Grizzlies locker room.
Sun Ce felt too much pressure!
In the second quarter, he mainly attacked half of the quarter, and 9 of his 13 points were scored in the first half of the quarter. He played with Conley, Gay, Randolph, and Gasol in the second half of the quarter. Focus on everything, get 4 points, and a little more indirect assists.
Not only Sun Ce played well, with 23 points in the half, Randolph also had 14 points and 6 rebounds in the half, Gasol Jr. had 5 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, but the point difference was narrowed by 1 point in the second quarter!
Nowitzki's performance is really awesome! The score actually exceeded half of the Mavericks' score, and the Mavericks didn't score 30 or 40 points in the half, but 60 points in the half!
Fortunately, they were well prepared, both psychologically and tactically, and took advantage of the opponent's weak inside defense, so they were not frightened by Nowitzki with at least 15 points in two consecutive quarters.
Listening to the coaching staff's passionate deployment of tactics, Sun Ce felt as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake. Although he was still ahead, as long as one of them didn't pay attention, the opponent would overtake immediately!
Leading by 4 points, this advantage is too weak!
But now, watching the coaching staff arrange tactics... In terms of tactics, there is no real tactical arrangement that can play a decisive role. Basically, it is to vent pressure and use voice to mobilize the enthusiasm of the players.
Sun Ce knew that he had already played his best performance in the first half, and there was no room for improvement. Whether it was offense or defense, he had done his best!
There is no room for improvement at the tactical level.
In the next game, we can only look at individual performances!
...
For the Grizzlies, Sun Ce, Conley, Gay, Randolph, and Jordan played.
For the Mavericks, Kidd, Jason Terry, DeShawn Stevenson, Tim Thomas, Nowitzki.
Coach Hollins is really envious of the Mavericks' rotation lineup. Kidd, Deshaun-Stevenson, and Marion are the opponents with strong perimeter defense. Although Barea, Beaubois, and Najera The single defense is average, but the defense is active and the rotation is fast, which is very suitable for the opponent's defensive system. On the other hand, there are only Gay and Conley, and even Battier is very old. lack of mobility.
However, today Sun Ce broke out and Kang Likong was very excited to catch one. It seems that there is not much physical problem. In addition to Gay, the outside line can cause some interference for the opponent to catch and shoot and cut in. Today is barely enough.
Coach Carlisle gave up treatment on defense. If Dampier still has the defense of the two years when he just got the big contract, he will have no problem guarding the basket. But the defense is really good, otherwise Cuban wouldn't have spent tens of millions of dollars on a six-year contract.
But now, without a center who can defend the basket, the defensive system is top-heavy, and it's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice!
The game continued in the second half, with the Grizzlies going first.
Revolving around Sun Ce's breakthrough points and Randolph's low-post singles, the Grizzlies' offense is still violent.
Coach Carlisle looked at Sun Ce soaring, and he had only one thought in his mind - it would be nice to have a big center who can guard the basket!
If there is a big center, how can the rookie on the opposite side of the free throw line who only hits the basket and hooks the baseline after being blocked by Kidd feel like a superstar?
There is no way to shrink the defense, Gay's baseline jumper, Conley's outside shot... even the bottom line's help defense is a problem. Jordan cuts sharply!
The third quarter can only be against Biao!
Nowitzki made 5 of 11 shots in the third quarter and scored 13 points in a single quarter! After three quarters, Nowitzki has 44 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists!
Nowitzki played the best performance in the first three quarters of the playoffs of his career!
But Nowitzki played so well, the point difference in the third quarter was slowly widened, because Sun Ce was completely crazy!
In the third quarter, Sun Ce only managed 7 shots, 4 of 7 shots, and only scored 8 points in shooting, but made 11 free throws in a single quarter!
Today, the defense of the two teams is mainly focused on rotation defense, which actually consumes a lot of energy for the two teams. Even if Nowitzki plays the center on the defensive end and defends the basket, the consumption will be greater than usual. By the third quarter In the second half, the physical strength of both teams declined, and the defensive pace slowed down.
Even Sun Ce, because the defensive end needs to actively replenish and change defenses, the temporary physical fitness of the s-level is a bit unbearable, but... when the physical strength showed signs of decline, Sun Ce started to hang up...
"Physical Potion Recharged Version (1/1)", "One-time Physical Potion", Sun Ce felt that everyone's physical strength had declined a little during the official pause of the third quarter, so he secretly shot a shot of the Physical Potion...
The game restarted after the official timeout. Sun Ce played even more fiercely than the first half of the third quarter. He went to the free throw line four times, made 6 of 8 free throws, and added 2 of 3 shots for a breakthrough layup. More than half a quarter, only 2 of 4 in the first half, 2 of 3 free throws and 6 points, and 10 points in the second half!
16 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in a single quarter!
After three quarters, Sun Ce has 39 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists!
Under the leadership of Sun Ce, the Grizzlies scored 28 to 24 in the third quarter, leading the Mavericks by 8 points 92 to 84, and once again opened the gap to more than 5 points!
...
Sun Ce's performance is too exaggerated! It exploded in a mess!
Needless to say, the restlessness of the fans at the scene, Coach Carlisle felt that he was going crazy, he had never seen such a rookie!
When he was still a player, he was also a rookie of the 84 golden generation. He played against Jordan twice in the playoffs. It's against the sky, averaging 29 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists per game, but what I want to say is that it is not explosive, but stable, so stable that people can see that his future is at least a superstar of the times.
Jordan's rookie year in the playoffs was amazing enough, but Coach Carlisle felt that Sun Ce's surprise was even better than Jordan's rookie year!
The strength and stability are far worse, but the explosion is too violent!
When Coach Carlisle was young, he met Jordan again in the playoffs. At that time, he also sat on the bench. He saw Jordan, who was also a second-year player, face the six-time first-defense and three-time second-defense players in the playoffs. Dennis Johnson, the best defensive player in the history of the Celtics, scored 63 points in a single game to set a record for scoring in a single game in the playoffs!
Coach Carlisle seems to have seen another god come down to earth.
A rookie with 39 points in three quarters...
Also, Coach Carlisle felt that as long as Sun Ce got a double-double in scoring and assists, a triple-double would come naturally. It reminded him of going to Madison Square Garden to watch Oscar Robertson challenge New York in the first grade of elementary school...
He felt horrified at this terrible idea of his own, and didn't dare to think about it...
Fortunately, it made Coach Carlisle feel more at ease, that is, Nowitzki's offensive end has really regained its former power!
Nuo Tianwang is not a softie tonight...
Coach Carlisle adjusted his mood. Thinking that Sun Ce played even harder in the third quarter than in the first half, he felt that he couldn't sit still like this, as it was too difficult to win.
As the saying goes, jealousy starts from the heart and comes out of the brain...
