Five Hundred and Thirty-Six. Taking Advantage of the Situation?
"...Exclusively for the little bully's little notebook: take advantage of the situation and trigger it."
"Taking advantage of the situation: Beating Deron Williams' teammates when they're at their weakest.
Goal: The host needs to score or assist more than Deron Williams in the next game against the Jazz and help the team win.
Reward: Skill card: Ball-holding pick-and-roll expert level 1. "
Long time no see little notebook!
This reward...Sun Ce was so excited!
He owns "The Encyclopedia of Pick-and-Roll Tactics," a tactical book that no one else wants to give away, and the West Coast Blacksmith owes him a favor because of it.
This book also made him gain a lot in using pick-and-rolls. It is a hard-core book that he may never finish in his lifetime.
Regarding pick-and-rolls, of course he mainly studies ball-holding pick-and-rolls, and he is getting better and better at using them.
Sun Ce guessed that he should be able to have extra attributes or physical fitness in pick-and-roll offense. Of course he wanted it!
Sun Ce opened the "Little Overlord's Little Book" section. This section was triggered twice. One was to take revenge on Teacher Na, and the other was also related to Delong.
"Double evil sniper: In the long term, when Deron Williams is a Jazz player, the host needs to have a record advantage against the Utah Jazz in the playoffs or regular season.
Reward: Deron Williams' current season star card. "
This... Sun Ce remembered that Deron would fall out with his teacher, Coach Sloan, this season. After the start of the season, the Jazz had a poor record, and there were also rumors of conflicts between Coach Sloan and Deron.
Just like now, Sun Ce saw some disharmonious factors on the opposite side.
After the Jazz players entered the stadium, the last wave of pre-match performances began. Players from both teams gathered on their benches, and the head coach made the final tactical arrangements.
The Grizzlies' tactical arrangement seems to be a little more concise. After finishing the arrangement first, Sun Ce paid attention to the opponent after listening to the defensive arrangement.
Everyone on the Jazz team gathered around Coach Sloan, and the big players stretched their heads to listen. As a 191-centimeter point guard, Deron actually stood behind a big player... You could see the drawing on the tactical board. What? What can you hear in this manic atmosphere?
But this is...a good thing for Sun Ce!
"Taking advantage of the situation", looking at the name in the notebook, although he didn't want to admit it, Sun Ce felt that this name was suitable for the current situation.
I have long wanted to retaliate against Deron for abusing him three times last season!
That is to say, this season there are the Big Three of the Heat who had a dismal start, the two-time defending champion Lakers who still had a strong start, the Mavericks’ ultimate twin towers, the sudden emergence of Griffin, and the smart garbage contracts of the Magic and Wizards. Swap transactions…
Last season, rookie Sun Ce played against various top point guards, which has always attracted attention.
Especially Deron, who was the most aggressive and abusive to Sun Ce, attracted a lot of attention every time the Grizzlies played the Jazz.
But this time...even the Imperial TV station did not broadcast their game, but instead broadcast the Mavericks' away game against the Thunder.
Although the Grizzlies themselves are unattractive, with Sun Ce there, there is no shortage of attention. It's just that the Jazz are too unattractive this year. Their play style was not good to watch, and now they don't even have the strength.
It's just an NBA game...the Cavaliers can beat the Celtics. Even the weakest team has a chance to win.
No matter how well-prepared you are, there will still be situations where a weak team breaks out and the weak defeats the strong.
Just like the last game against the Kings, God knows Cousins can throw the ball into the basket with his body sideways.
Therefore, Sun Ce was not careless at all and fully studied his opponent.
"Deron Williams, ability evaluation is a+, offense is a+, defense is b, passing is s-, three-pointer is a, mid-range shot is a-, layup is a-, speed is a, strength is s-, endurance is s-... Averaged 21 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists, shooting 39% from the field, 35% from the mid-range, and 36% from the three-point range..."
After taking a look at Delong's ability evaluation, it's really... declining in all directions!
Data Sun Ce saw it after arriving in Salt Lake City yesterday.
I feel that Deron's assists have dropped because of the lack of Boozer, and his scoring has increased and his shooting percentage has declined because he has to shoulder more independent scoring responsibilities.
Looking at it now... this aspect must have had an impact. When Boozer arrived with the Bulls, he lost the starting point for pick-and-rolls, and his strength declined more seriously than Deron, from S- to A.
But Sun Ce thinks it may be related to the relationship between Deron and coach Sloan that is about to break up.
Although he has declined from the S-level super giant level last season, he is still one of the best point guards in the league.
"Paul Millsap, ability evaluation is a-, offense is a, defense is b+, three-pointer is d, mid-range shot is c+, layup is s-, speed is b+, strength is a+, endurance is a...B+ in ball control...averaged 19.9 points per game 7 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.9 blocks...shooting rate of 44%..."
Millsap was the biggest beneficiary after Boozer left, and he and Sun Ce were among the contenders for the Most Improved Award.
Compared with the original time and space, the Jazz here are even worse. In the original time and space, after Boozer left, the Jazz hired Al Jefferson with a contract close to the maximum salary, but in this time and space, the Rockets want Al Jefferson. Jefferson, compared to Utah, Houston is obviously more attractive in all aspects.
But this is a huge benefit for Millsap. Boozer left and Al Jefferson was not found. Millsap has become the absolute core of the inside, and the number of shots per game has directly doubled compared to last season. More than double that, averaging 17.5 shots per game.
It's just that the shooting percentage is impressive, plummeting 5 percentage points from last season.
In other positions, the Jazz have not changed much, mainly the replacement of old and new players.
In addition to Deron and Millsap, the Jazz's strongest player is B+-level Kirilenko, who is B- in offense and A in defense. Although he is only 29 years old, his continuous injuries have led to a decline in ability and he has been absent for three days. After Boozer left, his average per game dropped to 9 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 blocks. Although he is still very good and is one of the most comprehensive defensive players in the NBA, he averaged 15 points and 8 rebounds per game compared to his peak period. 4 assists and 3 blocks are too far behind.
cj-Myers, with a C+ ability evaluation, entered the NBA in 2005. He was a high school rookie. He has been playing as a substitute for almost his entire career. He also got more opportunities this season, averaging 12 points, 2 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. peak performance.
Okur, who is about to turn 32, is in a state of collapse this season, which was exposed during the World Championships. He averaged only 4.4 points and 2.9 rebounds per game, which is completely incomparable to last season's average of 13+7. This is a player who is over 30 years old. As is often the case, being able to maintain your condition after the age of 30 is very impressive.
Speaking of the replacement of old and new players, except for two young players in the Jazz, Millsap and CJ Miles, who rose against the trend, everyone else basically declined.
What surprised Sun Ce the most about the Jazz was their new shooting guard, Laga Bell. In the summer, Sun Ce saw Kobe licking his face for the first time to recruit helpers. The target was Laga Bell, but he was rejected. .
As a result, Laga Bell didn't go to the Heat or the Mavericks, and finally came to the Jazz.
"Raga Bell, ability evaluation is c+, offense is d, defense is a-, three-pointer is a-, mid-range shot is f, layup is b-, speed is a, strength is b+...averaging 8.3 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.3 assists per game."
Laga Bell only has open three-pointers on offense, but the defense is getting older and stronger... Sun Ce feels that he is in a bit of trouble tonight.
If the Jazz play well, they should be a team capable of 40 wins. Their lineup is no worse than the Grizzlies before the trade last season, and their coaching is good.
At least the starting defense on the defensive end is above level B!
It's just a little strange this time. Sun Ce is full of malice towards Deron, but the guy opposite who stared at him and abused him last season doesn't even have a vicious look in his eyes this time...
…
At 6:58 pm, the referee signaled the players from both teams to come on.
After Sun Ce tied the bandage, he held one end of the bandage with his teeth, grabbed the other end with his right hand and tied a slipknot, then stuffed it into his wrist, rubbed some magnesium powder on it, and walked onto the field with the boos of the fans. .
For the Jazz, Deron, Raja Bell, Kirilenko, Millsap, and Okur started.
For the Grizzlies, the lineup of Sun Ce, Conley, Battier, Randolph, and Gasol took the field.
After two games, Sam Young lost his starting position. The two games were really miserable. As a rookie in the same class as Sun Ce, Sam Young estimated that he would not be able to survive in the NBA after his three-year minimum salary. .
Coach Hollins had no choice but to put Battier into the starting lineup, which is to play against a slow-paced team like the Jazz. Otherwise, Battier, who has aged for another year, is still more suitable to play as a substitute power forward and occasionally a small forward. beat.
At seven o'clock sharp, the game begins, the referee blows the whistle and throws the ball into the air.
Gasol really dared to lose the jump ball with anyone, but he actually lost the jump ball with Okur!
This... teammates really didn't expect that Deron quickly rushed towards the frontcourt after receiving the jump ball, and Sun Ce quickly moved in the direction of Deron.
Because I didn't expect Gasol to lose the jump ball, I really didn't give him enough trust this time. The forward players in the center were not ready to intercept. Deron rushed straight into the Grizzlies three-point line, and there was no one under the basket. people!
Sun Ce felt that he was about to be abused again. The opponent's physical changes made him suffer a lot last season.
But... Delong didn't change direction when he saw Sun Ce blocking the way forward, and rushed in directly.
Sun Ce continuously retreated, ready to move sideways at any time. No matter whether he could guard against it or not, he just had to work hard. Who would have thought that after pushing to the reasonable collision zone, the opponent still did not change direction and went straight for a layup one step outside the reasonable collision zone!
Sun Ce didn't know if the opponent was feinting, and even he couldn't do anything about it. There was a huge difference in one-on-one strength, so he pounced with all his strength and reached out to block the shot...
"Snapped"
"Eh?"
"The host has the perfect opportunity to block the shot and attempts to block the shot. The effect of Olajuwon's hand strap is triggered..."
Following the system prompt, Sun Ce slapped the ball toward the free throw line, and Gasol, who ran back, just caught the ball!
Randolph reacted extremely quickly. As soon as he ran into the three-point line, he saw Sun Ce's fingerprints on the ball thrown by Deron and immediately turned around and ran towards the frontcourt!
Gasol turned around and pulled away to avoid Okur's tackle. This basic skill made even the Jazz fans at the scene couldn't help but exclaim. He moved out of the three-point line in two steps. Gasol picked up the ball and lobbed it towards frontcourt.
Randolph rushed to the opposite three-point line and leaned on Kirilenko who retreated to receive the ball. He turned around and rushed to the free throw line and threw a flying shot...hit!
With the fast break cooperation inside, Gasol played a big game at the beginning!
This goal made the audience scream, and then the whole audience was filled with boos.
Sun Ce inexplicably created a counterattack opportunity. His teammates all scored, but he still didn't react.
Is the other party giving a hat?
This layup is too ridiculous!
Seeing Deron purse his lips and run back to the backcourt to receive the serve, Sun Ce felt incredible.
This is Deron Williams! Such a super point guard rushed directly into the paint. Sun Ce didn't even think he had a chance to defend, let alone block a shot. He had to thank the American God for not being teased. He was even prepared to be kicked by the opponent. I was ready to open it, but I didn't expect it to hit the front!
Deron's blind hits were just the beginning, and then came the Jazz's attack.
Sun Ce put away his shock and put it to Kirilenko.
As a thin little point guard, of course he has to guard against the relatively weak link in the opponent's offense. Battier stayed at the top arc, waiting for Deron to get close to him as soon as he reached the three-point line.
It is difficult for Sun Ce to guard Deron. With the scoring ability of this super point guard who has 50+ points in a single game, to be precise, no point guard can guard him. Paul, who is the strongest defender among current point guards, can't even guard Deron. It was being beaten for fun.
However, there is no problem with Battier's defense. Deron is strong in explosive acceleration and his average speed is not fast, so Battier chooses to stick to the defense and prevent Deron from gaining speed.
Battier's speed is A-level, and Deron is only A-level. There is a small gap between the same levels, but not that big.
Of course, there is nothing that can be done if Deron plays Battier in the pick-and-roll. The Jazz's pick-and-roll cooperation is very good. They have even reached the Western Conference Finals in the second round of the playoffs for many years.
But... Deron doesn't play pick-and-roll!
Millsap wanted to come up and help Deron block Battier, but Deron didn't appreciate it and chose to break through from the other side of Millsap's block. Battier was stuck to him, and he couldn't use his explosive speed. Teams that usually have weaker outside defense can rush in without attracting a flank attack!
At this time, Kirilenko led Sun Ce around to a high position. Sun Ce tried his best to move forward to prevent Kirilenko from catching the ball, but his strength was still a bit lacking. The opponent was experienced and had to reach the receiving position.
Deron didn't pass! Faced with Battier's fadeaway mid-range jump shot...
Battier's interference was very good, and Deron's back shot was a hit!
Sun Ce immediately moved inside when Delong jumped and raised the ball. Millsap tried to grab the rebound but was blocked by Randolph, who had just extended out with him. Sun Ce took the defensive rebound and counterattacked directly!
The opponent was obviously a little frustrated with the ball. When Sun Ce and Conley rushed to the front court, there was an empty basket situation. Sun Ce threw the ball up into the air. Conley stepped heavily on the floor with his left foot and jumped high to make Sun Ce envious. He bounced jealously, his head almost at the height of a flat plate, and pressed the ball into the basket.
1 rebound, 1 block, 1 assist...
So relaxing!
This was the situation more than three minutes before the game. Deron didn't want to cooperate with his teammates at all. During this period, Deron only passed the ball twice, and both times were when there were only 4-6 seconds left with no shooting opportunities. The pass!
At 3 minutes and 47 seconds of the first quarter, Coach Sloan called a timeout. The Jazz successfully made 5 shots in these more than three minutes. Deron made 1 of 4 shots and made two free throws that resulted in a foul. 4 points, plus Millsap's sudden layup after receiving Deron's pass, the Jazz only scored 6 points in nearly 4 minutes!
Deron is also very good. After Sun Ce blocked one and Battier defended once, he made a shot in the next three attacks, one hit and one foul. This means that he has a clear understanding of Battier's defense. After understanding it, the next three singles were very good.
Deron's scoring ability is nothing to say, and Battier defends so well. After he got used to it, he also found a way to deal with it. His comprehensive skills, his body that can't be defeated by a small forward, and I don't know if he was beaten by the West Coast. A certain snake was cruel to the point of cruelty, and his subsequent three personal attacks were extremely impressive.
But he played like this...The Jazz started 6-11 and fell behind by 5 points!
Sun Ce scored 2 points, 2 rebounds, 1 block and 2 assists in less than 4 minutes after the start. Even if the opponent kept scoring in isolation, Sun Ce's points + assists were the same as the opponent!
And with less than 2 rebounds in 4 minutes... Sun Ce feels that he is on track for a double-double today!
