Four Hundred and Ninety-Four. Another Background Man!

Anthony was blocked three times in a row...

Players on both sides felt the style was strange.

Although Anthony was blocked a few times every three days, Sun Ce, a skinny point guard...

Take a closer look, okay, not thin, but after all, he is a point guard who is not famous for defense but for organizing offense and rebounding. Last season, Sun Ce only blocked 14 shots in total, averaging less than 0.2 blocks per game. The image is still very strange.

What is certain is that this is not about Sun Ce's ability to block shots, but because Anthony is... a hat-giving boy!

However, the Rockets seem to be very used to it, and Anthony himself is also very used to it. When he retreated from defense, he didn't feel angry at all after being blocked. When Sun Ce advanced to the frontcourt, Anthony still stayed one step inside the three-point line. .

Sun Ce wanted to try a mid-range jump shot from the right side. He didn't dare to try it casually, but just now he defended the opponent, which was an offensive opportunity that he fought for.

Of course, give it a try!

Sun Ce moved to the free throw line on the right side of the three-second zone, and Anthony stepped back steadily, staying in front of Sun Ce.

Although Anthony is used to being blocked, Anthony is not angry about being blocked, but his defensive enthusiasm has significantly improved.

Sun Ce leaned sideways on Anthony, trying to hit a turnaround jump shot... he couldn't hit it at all!

This is a post-playing machine that heavy small forwards like Artest, Pierce, and James can't handle!

Take a gamble!

Sun Ce turned over and forced his back to shoot...

Anthony, who defended seriously and became more motivated to defend, defended Sun Ce's unskilled turn-over jump shot very well. He used his slight advantages in height and wingspan to greatly interfere with Sun Ce's shooting!

Sun Ce transforms into a young snake! Hollow outside the basket!

Looking back, Anthony drove to the basket and scored two points with a small floater against Sun Ce's defense.

This ball proved that Anthony was indeed a ghost when he was hit three times just now.

Don't look at the fact that Anthony's shooting percentage within 12 feet is only 57% so far in his career, but he shoots a lot!

The season with the fewest short-range shots in his career has been 6.4.

In six of the previous seven seasons, he averaged at least 7 shots per game within 12 feet, including 4 seasons with at least 8 shots within 12 feet, and two drivers reached 9 shots...

What is this concept?

Since the new century, except for O'Neal, no one has taken more shots in the three-second zone than Anthony. Top centers such as Howard, Duncan, and Yao Ming have not taken as many shots in the three-second zone as Anthony. Even after O'Neal joined the Heat, the number of shots in the three-second zone was less than that of Anthony. Not as much as Anthony.

By the ninth minute of the first quarter, the two teams were tied at 24!

Relying on Anthony's brutal performance of 16 points in more than 9 minutes, the Rockets tied the score!

Sun Ce was replaced and rested. In these nine minutes, he scored 6 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks. His performance was extremely good, but one of the two mid-range shots missed, and the other was completely useless.

And Sun Ce felt that Anthony really had it in his mouth!

He remembered that in the original time and space, Anthony was really good before he was abandoned by the Knicks. Otherwise, before Anthony signed the last big contract, there would not have been many teams kneeling.

Also, before Thompson's violent 37 points in a single quarter, this guy held the NBA's historical single-quarter scoring record, with 33 points in a single quarter.

Watching the lineup of Conley, Tony Allen, Gay, Randolph, and DeAndre Jordan take the field, Sun Ce knew that his head coach was playing five ups and downs to disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm.

Sun Ce began to think about how to get a chance to shoot from the middle distance...

When he saw Guy's style of play, his ideas gradually became clear...

…

The rotation with Gay and Conley as the core lasted until the official timeout in the second quarter.

At this time the score has reached 49 to 50, and the Grizzlies are one point behind.

The two big killers, Anthony and Al Jefferson, performed brutally today.

Tony Allen's defense is very good, but he can't guard against the heavy strikers of Anthony and James. Anthony doesn't suffer even if he carries the power forward!

Before the half was over, Anthony had already scored 25 points. Even if he was physically exhausted, he was definitely on his way to 40+ points, and he also helped the Rockets occupy a slight lead.

The lineup of Sun Ce, Conley, Moreau, Yi Jianlian, and Gasol was replaced.

Sun Ce rested for more than 20 minutes, and his physical strength was almost restored. Originally, the nine minutes of the first quarter were not very consumed, and the opponent's defense did not provide much resistance except for Sun Ce's own jump shot.

This is also the Rockets' tactical thinking. They originally rotate 7 to 9 people, which is very unsuitable for defense. The right way is to reduce confrontation and run offense.

Sun Ce thought of a way to hit a mid-range shot. The opponent's defense was so poor, this trick might work.

After Coach Hollins changed players and emphasized defense, Sun Ce called the four teammates who played together to discuss the play style. Fizdale next to him consciously handed the tactical board to Sun Ce.

Coach Hollins glanced at the five people gathered in a small circle, raised his head, and looked into the air speechlessly.

It is true that there is nothing to arrange on the offensive end in such a game. The opponent's defense is basically zero. The defense on our side is more important. The offense does not rely on tactics, because as far as the opponent's defense is concerned, the Grizzlies do not need to rely on tactics. Players create shooting opportunities, but the players themselves need to find the most suitable shooting point. Opportunities are definitely easy to get, and the players need to communicate among themselves...

Coach Hollins tried to comfort himself...

…

…

The official timeout ends and players from both teams return to the court.

For the Rockets, the lineup of Brooks, J.R. Smith, Anthony, Kenyon Martin, and Brad Miller took the field.

With this lineup, Sun Ce feels that the opponent's defense is even worse.

But the offensive space may be better. Brad Miller, a center in the Princeton system who can support high positions and score from the top of the arc, returned to Adelman. He averaged 15 minutes per game in the first four games and actually had 2.5 assists. !

Anyway, the game is still long, and it is impossible to kill the Rockets with one blow, so take your time and use the 11-man extreme rotation to kill the opponent.

In the process of consumption, you can try to get the event target of CIC.

Sun Ce came out of bounds, received the ball from the referee, passed it to Conley, and then cut inside.

Yes, Sun Ce has returned to the way he played most of last season, playing without the ball!

Conley and Gasol first helped Morrow create an open three-point opportunity. Sun Ce was directed by Gasol to cut in from the right side and compress the opponent's defense. Gay restrained a defensive player from the left mid-range. Conley and After Gasol picked and rolled, Gasol took advantage of the situation and went to the line. Morrow, who came on the bench, continued his excellent open three-point performance last season. After Gasol picked and rolled, he took Conley's pick-and-roll at a 45-degree angle on the right side. The ball hit a three-point shot!

The first time we came up, we relied on new players to overtake the score!

When the Rockets attack, JR Smith wants to return the favor to Morrow, but this guy can hold the moon in the sky and be a turtle in the pond. This ball turned into a turtle, and his straight pull-up shot bounced high on the neck of the basket. .

Sun Ce used Yi Jianlian's position to grab the defensive rebound!

Sun Ce immediately launched a counterattack after landing!

While marching, Sun Ce found that the opponent was obviously lagging behind in retreating! Morrow, who had just made a three-pointer, attracted a lot of attention from the opponent. Sun Ce passed the ball to Conley, who was going down quickly on the left. Conley and Yi Jianlian worked together with each other to contain the opponent's defender under the basket.

After Conley attracted the defense, he immediately distributed the ball to the right side...

Sun Ce did not cut inside, but slowly ran to the right mid-range to receive the ball. Just as he was about to catch up and make a mid-range shot, he heard the sound of heavy footsteps on the floor, and immediately followed the momentum of running and stepped to the right. One step, take off...

"The face-to-frame sideways singles jumping skill is triggered at level 1. The host's face-to-frame singles shot ignores the bounce effect caused by the jumping step..."

Just when the system prompted, Sun Ce had already thrown the ball.

The feeling of this ball is very good, there is no impact of jumping and then taking off, just like practicing the mid-range shot.

When the ball flew out, JR Smith flew out from the left side of Sun Ce. As JR Smith landed and fell to the ground like a dog eating shit, the ball hit the backboard and bounced into the frame!

Sun Ce saw JR Smith lying on the floor... was this guy? What does this defense mean? Throw yourself in the air first? What a child's play!
