Five Hundred and Thirteen. When the Roles of the Bully and the Rose Are Reversed

This time Gasol continued to move to the high post, Boozer defended him, and Noah stayed in the paint, giving Randolph a chance to hit the mid-range shot.

This is the defensive tendency of the Bulls. They have studied the performance of the Grizzlies since the beginning. Randolph's mid-range shooting percentage has only been 31% since the beginning. Although his past shooting percentage was very good, his mid-range shooting percentage has been very good so far in his career. Thirty-eight percent, long two-pointers are as high as 40%, but it is not good at the moment. The Bulls chose to let Randolph go and guard the basket.

Sun Ce saw the Bulls' defensive position and instead of handing the ball to Gasol, he waved for a pick-and-roll!

Gasol came out to help Sun Ce block Luol Deng, and Sun Ce broke through from the right!

Boozer is very powerful in pick-and-roll offense, but defending against pick-and-roll is another matter. Boozer was left behind by Sun Ce.

At the same time, Randolph rushed inside, forcing Noah to block it.

At this time, the Bulls contracted greatly!

Rose rushed in when Sun Ce rushed to the edge of the three-second zone. Sun Ce turned to the left while walking, leaned forward, and used the inertia of his body and his already enhanced explosive speed to jump towards the left side of the three-second zone. He passed by, grabbed the ball and took off in the process, twisting his body in the air and holding the ball towards the basket with his left hand... perfectly dodging Rose who jumped up on the right side of the three-second area, behind Noah who was blocking Randolph. Hit the layup!

Just now, Sun Ce felt pain in his knees when he saw Rose's change of direction breakthrough. This time when Ross looked at Sun Ce's movements... he felt pain in his knees and waist! Sun Ce tortured his body even more than he did!

Another point is that Rose felt like he was jumping up and jumping like a fool. When someone shot on the left side of the basket, he jumped on the right side of the basket... Especially after Sun Ce changed, he shot towards the left side of the basket in the air. Stretching his short hand sideways... Ross thought Sun Ce wanted to dunk! He was definitely going to dunk it anyway.

After two rounds, the Bulls discovered that it was a little difficult to deal with the Grizzlies by relying solely on defensive tactics. The Grizzlies almost sent out the five best players with strong strength, good understanding, and good understanding. .

When the Grizzlies retreated, Rose signaled that the confrontation would be strengthened.

But it was the Grizzlies who brought up the confrontation first!

After Rose advanced to the frontcourt, Gay directly followed him and tried to limit Rose's speed with his weight and strength.

At this time, Boozer's role came into play. There was no need for Rose to call the pick-and-roll. Boozer's pick-and-roll awareness was unique in the league. Neither Garnett nor Duncan could match it. When Rose tried to change direction, Boozer Taking the initiative to block Gay, Rose took advantage of the situation and accelerated directly from trying to break through.

Quickly rush inside.

Sun Ce took it back! Make up defense with Gasol under the basket!

This time, the space interference to Rose's passing was in place. Rose faced the two people and threw a shot...

Ironclad!

Gasol habitually opened his arms when Rose shot to help Sun Ce block the opponent, and Sun Ce collected the defensive rebound!

Just as Sun Ce was about to counterattack, Guy, who was blocked at the three-point line, had already started a fast break. Sun Ce felt a sudden huge force and was knocked to the ground!

The referee's whistle blew and Noah committed a foul on a rebound!

After Sun Ce grabbed the rebound, Noah directly squeezed up and pushed Sun Ce over with his chest, preventing Sun Ce from starting a fast break!

After the referee blew the whistle, Noah immediately raised his hand, with a posture of "I just made a foul."

Randolph walked up and pulled Sun Ce up, and glanced at Noah, who stared at Randolph without showing any signs of weakness.

At this time, the referee came between the two people and signaled them not to cause trouble.

Randolph saw that there was nothing wrong with Sun Ce, but he was knocked over before he could stand upright. He picked up the ball and threw it to the referee and walked out of bounds to prepare to serve.

Noah's heart almost jumped out of his chest, and he ran back quickly, as if running for his life.

Seeing this scene, Sun Ce next to him was stunned for a moment. Why does Noah feel so iron-blooded?

Taking advantage of the dead ball, the Bulls also made substitutions, replacing Bogans with Korver to enhance perimeter containment.

The Grizzlies also replaced Conley with Morrow.

Two defensive coaches made the same substitution choices.

The players of the two teams actively wanted to increase the intensity of the confrontation, but the head coach did not want to increase the intensity at the beginning of the game, so he replaced the pitcher.

Although pitchers are sent out, how the players play is mostly based on the players' own ideas.

It's obvious that both teams' defenses have tightened up.

This time, Sun Ce chose to attack Aniu, but Morrow received the ball and was interfered by Luol Deng, who was covering up, and missed the shot!

Noah was very passionate in the position. The Grizzlies had no chance to defend and retreated quickly.

The defense of the two teams has become very targeted. The Grizzlies are blocking Rose, but they are relatively loose in defense against others. They will let the air open when they need to. The main thing is... Sun Ce is here, regardless of the fact that Sun Ce is currently the Grizzlies. Gay, the team's highest scoring player, averaged a steady fifteen or six points per game. Randolph was frightening with over thirty points in one game, but he dared to score single digits in the next game, averaging only 16 points per game.

However, after research by Rose, Luol Deng, Noah and others, it was found that Sun Ce is, overall, the weakest offensive threat among all the Grizzlies scorers.

They find this conclusion very strange. The leading scorer of a team is actually the weakest offensive threat.

But when it came to defense, in the electric game, they believed in the conclusion they had come to and focused more on blocking other Grizzlies.

As for the Grizzlies, there is no need to study. Rose is the Bulls' strongest scoring player and the greatest threat.

So, when it came time for the official suspension, a very interesting situation occurred...

Sun Ce played 7 minutes and scored 8 points, 3 rebounds, 1 block, and 0 assists on 4 of 5 shots!

On Rose's side, in addition to scoring two points by making 2 of 2 free throws, the Grizzlies defense made 0 of 2 shots, but he had 3 assists in 7 minutes!

The Grizzlies temporarily led the Bulls by one point 13-12 at half quarter!

The TV commentators felt like they were slapped in the face. They were all analyzing before the game. Rose is a scoring guard and Sun Ce is an organizing guard. Regardless of the fact that Rose has the higher assist number between the two, Sun Ce has better organizational ability and so on. , can organize offense without the ball...

But the game lasted for more than half a quarter, and it was completely opposite to what they predicted.

Sun Ce stopped attacking without the ball and kept scoring. Although Rose still held the ball, he kept passing the ball. He only tried 3 shots in the beginning... The commentator felt so wronged. It felt like these two young genius point guards were playing tricks. them!

However, Sun Ce and Rose played very painfully, which was different from their usual playing style!

The opponent's defense was so good that they immediately started a high-intensity defensive mode. Even if the head coach wanted to deliberately reduce the defensive intensity, he couldn't!
