Five Hundred and Eight. The Nuggets Use All Their Cap Boys?
As the saying goes, he who knows the current affairs is a hero. No matter what others think, Lori thinks he is handsome, so he must be a hero, so he must know the current affairs.
When Gay received Sun Ce's second pass and missed the shot, and Nene grabbed the rebound, Lowry advanced to the frontcourt and did not continue to play Sun Ce in isolation, but looked for a pick-and-roll.
When Sun Ce turned his head and saw Nene coming out with Jordan, he yelled back at Jordan. When Nene blocked Sun Ce, Sun Ce failed to get around the pick and roll immediately, and Lowry rushed in, Jordan was very surprised. Obediently, he immediately returned to close range and waited for Lori to burst in.
Lowry is currently using a poor shot from the long range, but he still rushes all the way to close range and restrains Jordan.
On Sun Ce's side, Nene's mid-range shot is a big threat. This is a player who had a chance to become an All-Star. His mid-range shot and passing are better than he looks.
As a rookie in the same class as Stoudemire and Yao Ming, two All-NBA players, he was compared with these two players in the first two years of his career. Who knew that he suddenly suffered from a double cruciate ligament and meniscus in his third year? He was severely injured and his balls became cancerous in 2008 and he was forced to have them removed. Since then, he has lost the opportunity to enter the All-Star Game.
However, Nene, who was at his peak, was still very strong. After Sun Ce was blocked, he immediately switched defense to Nene, and Nene squeezed to the free throw line. Lowry distributed the ball to Nene, and Nene took a step to squeeze Sun Ce away and made a free throw. A one-step running shot inside the line...
Nene's ball-handling skills were very good. He was not intercepted by Sun Ce and successfully picked up the ball. However, with Sun Ce's wingspan of 2.15 meters and his height, Nene made the same mistake as Nowitzki. , but the height advantage of the center over the point guard is overestimated!
If you choose to play with your back and turn around to get better space for shooting, there will be no problem. The inside and outside frame shot will be too disturbed!
Nene missed the ball!
Randolph immediately turned around to block Gallinari who was rushing for the rebound. Lowry on the other side stopped struggling and immediately retreated. He has not grabbed a single offensive rebound so far in the new season.
The card forward was in position, Sun Ce turned around to block Nene, and the low position king was triggered at level 2. The card position resistance was strengthened, and Nene squeezed hard but did not move! Sun Ce caught the rebound that bounced off the neck of the basket in one step inside the free throw line!
Lori glanced at Sun Ce while running back. Seeing that Sun Ce could actually get Nene stuck, he felt a little bit desperate for the future... Please don't compete with us poor little defenders for jobs!
After Sun Ce grabbed the rebound, he immediately turned around and counterattacked, leaving Nene behind. When Sun Ce rushed to the frontcourt, Lowry stood aside and did not dare to block it, leaving a huge hole in the Nuggets' defense.
Gallinari, who had retreated to the inside, had to make up for it. Guy followed up and rushed into the inside. Sun Ce guided him with an alley-oop. Guy jumped high and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!
Lowry regarded Sun Ce's state of triggering the king of low-post blocking as Sun Ce's own strength. For a guy who was taller than him, could block the center, and was faster than him, Lowry was really a little confused.
It's time for the Nuggets to attack again, and the game has just started, and Lowry is scared...
After all, for Lowry, he has just started to counterattack. His strength needs to be improved and he does not have much confidence. Facing a monster who just got a 4-double in the last game... Lowry gave the ball to Gallinari for a single.
Gallinari is very good and will be very good in the next ten years, but he is just a pure scorer and does not have much experience in his third year. He mainly relies on his physical fitness and touch to impact or shoot. In other words, he is a passionate player.
The person guarding him is Tony Allen...
Gallinari wanted to use his good charging breakthrough to draw a foul, but Tony Allen seized the opportunity and palmed the ball. The ball hit Gallinari's leg and went out of bounds!
Sun Ce and Tony Allen blocked the opponent's offense three times in a row!
When the Grizzlies attacked, Sun Ce was double-teamed by Afflalo and Lowry, and the Nuggets began to give up their defense on Tony Allen.
However, Tony Allen is not a ball-handler. Even if he cannot attract the defense, he will not put the team into a 4-on-5 situation, at least in the regular phase. When Lowry double-teams Sun Ce directly from the top arc, Immediately help Gay block Ariza. Gay goes around the pick-and-roll. Sun Ce first passes the ball to Randolph who is pulling down the free throw line. Randolph passes the ball to Gay, and Gay goes around to the left at a 45-degree angle for a three-pointer. One step inside the line to catch the ball and shoot... hit!
The Grizzlies started with a 6-0 run!
Lowry didn't dare to hit him, Gallinari couldn't hit Tony Allen, and he was hit by Tony Allen so much that he doubted his life. There was a height difference of fifteen centimeters! Gallinari didn't expect that he would be defended like this.
The Nuggets only have two viable ways of playing. Fourth-year Afflalo's singles ability has not been taken seriously yet, and he is still a 3D player... When he has singles, he doesn't like to defend anymore.
Just Nene's low-post back-to-the-basket and high-post face-up singles and... Ariza's Los Angeles-style shooting!
After half a quarter of play, coach George Karl finally called a timeout.
Until the official timeout, the Nuggets trailed the Grizzlies by 7 points, 7-14.
It wasn't that he didn't want to scream before, but... there was no way. Although they were also No. 1 in the Western Conference, there was a clear strength gap with the Grizzlies. Just the Nuggets' strongest multi-player rotation style, the Grizzlies were even better. Matches the number.
Lowry is still too young, and the other point guard is even more young. Their front line is good at defense. The Grizzlies' front line is Tony Allen and Gay... they are better!
Why is it that coach George Karl's team is so good in the regular season that it always makes it to the first round in the playoffs? Because what he is good at is long-term season preparation, and he is not good at all in playoff situations that require multiple tactical changes in a short period of time.
This is a common thing in the NBA. When watching the game, many fans wonder why some teams are obviously at a big disadvantage but the head coach does not call a timeout. Sometimes there is really no way but to hope that the players can do it themselves. Find a solution.
Because of such expectations, we don't dare to substitute players casually. Wouldn't it be bad if a player on the field is replaced just when he thinks of a way?
NBA head coaches also love to expect, dream, and gamble...
For the Grizzlies, the coaching staff was surprised that they could suppress the opponent so hard. The opponent's track and field team went crazy in the first five games of the new season. The Nuggets averaged 106 points per game in the first five games and limited the opponent's average per game. He only scored 94 points, which is like a bomb.
Now it doesn’t look like... it seems that they are not that powerful. It feels a bit like how they felt last season. They had a lot of fun in torturing others and playing against the strong teams in the playoffs was really average...
Now that you know the opponent's background, it will be easier to deal with it!
…
After the timeout, the Grizzlies sent out a combination of Conley, Moreau, Gay, Yi Jianlian, and Gasol.
The original plan was to let Conley and Gasol rest in order to deal with the next back-to-back if they couldn't beat them in regular time.
There is a chance to win this game, and it seems that the strength advantage is obvious. Of course, we must strive to continue the winning streak from the beginning!
On the Nuggets side, Lawson came on board, and he was originally ready to compete with Sun Ce, who was in the same class.
Lori was a little scared by Sun Ce, but Lawson was not scared! The kind who is not afraid of anything!
In particular, Lawson, as a player of the same generation, has studied Sun Ce for a long time and knows that Sun Ce's style of play is relatively unconventional, so he might be able to deal with him if he has a chance.
But what he met after he came on the court was Conley, who was meticulous and made no mistakes...
Although Conley is not as strong as Sun Ce in terms of strength...but such a rigid player is very stable when facing an opponent with a strength advantage!
The two point guards, regarded as the future hope of the Nuggets, collectively rushed to the street...
After the first quarter, the Grizzlies led 25-13 by 12 points!
When a regular season team and a playoff team are both in excellent condition and meet, the gap will suddenly appear.
The Nuggets scored less than 20 points in a single quarter for the first time this season!
…
The core combination of Conley + Gay + Gasol lasted until halfway through the second quarter, when the Grizzlies already led 41-23 by 18 points.
After the official timeout in the second quarter, Sun Ce was replaced, plus Morrow, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, and DeAndre Jordan, preparing to take advantage of the opponent's outside shots that had been consumed by them in the previous quarter and a half. , shrink the defense and grab rebounds to counterattack!
For the Nuggets, the combination of Lawson, Courtney Lee, Afflalo, Gallinari, and Al Harrington came on the court. Coach George Karl had no choice but to send out five players who could throw three Players who score points come up.
The game continues and the Nuggets attack.
finally come! When Lawson saw Sun Ce coming up, he felt that daybreak was coming! He was made miserable by Conley for almost the first quarter.
Seeing that the person he had defeated the most was finally on the court, Lawson received the serve and rushed straight to the front court!
On Sun Ce's side, facing Lawson is much more stressful than facing Lowry. Lawson's speed is... S-level! And he has a 36% three-point shooting rate!
Lawson broke through directly to the inside. Sun Ce imitated Conley's defense and pressed forward, using physical confrontation to limit Lawson's speed.
The effect... is very good. Lawson is better at being the engine of defensive counterattacks. I have to say that Nash, who has no pick-and-roll ability and no good offensive ability in positional warfare, is very suitable for coach George Karl from a tactical point of view, but when it comes to positioning Zhan is more reckless than Lowry!
Regardless of whether his speed had picked up or not, Lawson rushed all the way to close range and threw a flying ball...
Sun Ce jumped up and reached out as hard as he could, stretching his left hand towards the direction where Lawson was leaning forward towards the baseline to throw the ball...
"Because the host is in an excellent blocking position and attempts to block the shot, Olajuwon's hand strap special effect is triggered. The host this time"
"Snapped"
"Bang"
"Snapped"
Just when the system prompts, Sun Ce jumped up with a bounce speed and height that was obviously a level higher than normal. He slapped Lawson's forward body in an attempt to avoid the defensive throw and slapped it from top to bottom to the floor, and Sun Ce I caught the ball bouncing off the floor!
Fight back!
Morrow's chasing three-pointer... also went in! , 44 to 23, the Grizzlies lead the Nuggets by 21 points!
I don’t know how to do statistics on this technical table for a while!
It’s considered blocks + rebounds + assists, right?
Three statistics in one round... The staff at the technical desk felt so tired from officiating the Grizzlies game! Just as tiring as officiating a Timberwolves game! Two data monsters!
Sun Ce never thought that he could get blocks so easily. He felt that his opponents would definitely be wary of him because of the number of blocks he had in the past two games. At least the outsiders should be wary of him, just like Gallinari who cut in and Lowry who broke through. Avoid him.
It turned out that Lawson was different and had to use hard steel!
Sun Ce feels that this guy is a Brooks who is willing to pass the ball and has enhanced speed!
Are the Nuggets good at producing this kind of shot-setter?
…
After the point difference was stretched to 21 points, it did not widen further. At the end of the half, Sun Ce played 12 minutes and scored 6 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal. Others played well in shooting, and the Grizzlies entered the second half with a 23-point lead, 53-30.
A team like the Nuggets, with the oldest player being 28 years old, played very well when their morale was high, but when their morale collapsed, the entire team collapsed, falling behind by 23 points at halftime... The Nuggets collapsed in this game. !
There was not much suspense. Thanks to Sun Ce who scored 11 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists and 5 blocks in 29 minutes, Gay who scored a season high of 29 points, and other players who performed stably, the Grizzlies finally won 98 games. 74 slaughtered the Nuggets and won six consecutive victories!
Sun Ce blocked Lawson's 4 shots tonight, three of which were within 6 minutes... He saw that he actually got 5 blocks in 29 minutes... This is unreasonable!

I'm going out for a trip. I'll take my boss to a legendary and huge health and fitness club. I'll take my notebook with me. I'll continue writing when I get it. Try my best to write it down. Don't wait tonight. It'll be the same when I get up tomorrow morning. There's a good chance I won't be there in the car. I can’t write too much online, so I’ll finish writing the update after returning to the hotel before going to bed~
