Six Hundred and Twenty-Six. A Delicate Balance

Sun Ce pushed forward to the front court and continued to accelerate and break through! Pick and roll with Jordan!

Just like the last attack, Sun Ce had a chance to get rid of Kobe's pursuit, but after accelerating to get rid of Odom, he deliberately slowed down and waited for Kobe to catch up to the baseline. This time Odom didn't keep up with Sun Ce and ran to switch to defend Yi Jianlian who was pulled to the high position, not giving Sun Ce a chance to pass the ball.

However, Sun Ce had a good vision. Before Odom quickly switched defense and Kobe caught up to form a confrontation, he blocked the hook shot on the left side of his body with his left arm and faced the baseline sideways...

This shot was well shot, and Sun Ce scored his first personal goal of the game with a hook shot.

Attack and defense changed, and the Lakers attacked.

Odom continued to stay at the top arc with the ball, Gasol pulled away, Barnes kept the threat of cutting in at the left baseline, and Artest opened up space in the right bottom corner. The Lakers still played Kobe on this point.

This time, Sun Ce chose to stick to Kobe and defend him. Kobe blocked Sun Ce behind him. After receiving the pass, he pushed Sun Ce back a step and turned around at the baseline!

After being pushed back, Sun Ce immediately stuck to Kobe again. Seeing Kobe turning around and jumping, Sun Ce immediately jumped up to interfere.

But Kobe's left foot did not move! After Sun Ce jumped up, Kobe turned right beautifully and returned to the right sideline of the three-second zone and jumped!

Sun Ce was shaken off, but he did not jump high, landed quickly, and his bounce speed was already first-class, and jumped again!

This time, Olajuwon's hand strap effect was punished, and the bounce speed was temporarily increased to A+, and the bounce was increased to B-, and he blocked Kobe!

Kobe was very focused, leaning back in the air, avoiding Sun Ce's block, and throwing the ball out...

Hit again!

Kobe scored 10 points!

, the Lakers led by 7 points!

Kobe scored this goal, but it was still difficult. He looked at Sun Ce in surprise, and then retreated immediately.

It's not that Sun Ce's low-post defense is so good, but Sun Ce's physical condition. In this round, Kobe seemed to see the Magic's talented forward-guard swingman who was his rival in the past. His static physical fitness made him envious.

When the Grizzlies attacked, Sun Ce had to play Kobe's point.

Facing Kobe's single defense, Sun Ce was not easy to play. Playing pick-and-roll with Jordan or Yi Jianlian, the opponent's ability to defend pick-and-roll was extremely strong. Odom, who switched defense in the mid-range, was guarding. Odom and Gasol could defend Jordan and Yi Jianlian, and they could switch defense at will. Odom came out to defend pick-and-roll, and Gasol guarded the basket. Sun Ce only had the baseline shooting point.

When he found that the opponent was going to use Kobe to attack him, Sun Ce and the opponent were fighting. He had to play this position, and he didn't shoot hastily, and let Kobe run as much as possible.

On the defensive end, he had to defend desperately and try his best to consume Kobe.

After a few rounds, Sun Ce's offensive and defensive strategies were gradually seen through by his teammates and opponents.

Although this style of play consumes Kobe to a certain extent, it is obviously a lose-lose style of play!

The most important thing is that even if Kobe is 33 years old after this season, he is still one of the players with the best physical strength in the league!

In the first half of the first quarter, Sun Ce worked hard on the defensive end, but because he found that the opponent's defense was too good and the opponent's offense was just the situation that he could interfere with his active defense, he chose to reduce the offensive ball holding and focus on defense to save some physical strength.

But now in the second quarter, he doesn't need to worry so much. It doesn't matter if he runs out of physical strength in this quarter!

As a core player, even a main player, you need to reasonably allocate your physical strength, and Sun Ce usually does that.

The Lakers are the same. The Lakers basically rotate three towers in the interior. Except for Bynum who occasionally has a minor injury and can't play and is supported by the rookie inside, as long as the three are healthy, except for garbage time, basically you can't see the fourth inside.

So in the second quarter, the Lakers' style of play was mainly Kobe's singles, Gasol was mainly responsible for defense, offense opened up space, Odom also reduced breakthroughs, and stayed at the top arc to contain the ball when he was dribbled to the front court.

In contrast,

Sun Ce's style of play was too unreliable.

Coach Hollins felt uneasy watching Sun Ce play like this, but he resisted the idea of ​​replacing Battier.

Unlike Tony Allen, Battier is the kind of player who can play a decisive role at critical moments. His bottom corner three-pointer is very important. He is not afraid to shoot at critical moments, and he shoots accurately.

Moreover, Coach Hollins knows Sun Ce very well. In his cognition, Sun Ce is a person who knows his own weight. He feels that Sun Ce, who is habitually explosive, is coming again!

On the other side, after Zen Master discovered Sun Ce's purpose, he did not call a timeout for substitutions. Sun Ce used his own physical strength to consume Kobe's physical strength. Zen Master wanted this. He did not think Kobe had physical problems at present. He just wanted to reduce Kobe's consumption in the regular season and prolong Kobe's peak period. Therefore, he reduced Kobe's burden in the regular season and let Kobe play less.

When the opponent's outside core wanted to consume physical strength with Kobe, it was simply a way to death in the eyes of Zen Master!

However, Sun Ce's desperate play made the Grizzlies play well in the first half of the second quarter when the lineup was at a disadvantage.

Today, Sun Ce's hook shot at the bottom line was quite accurate. After scoring two in a row at the beginning, he began to attract Gasol's movement, and could pass the ball to Jordan, forcing Odom to shrink. Occasionally, he could pass it to Yi Jianlian. Yi Jianlian has comprehensive skills and knows a little bit of everything. He sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, but he can score.

After Kobe scored two goals in a row, Morrow began to let go of Barnes and shrink the inside line at the signal of coach Hollins, who was yelling and directing the defense on the sidelines.

Everyone knows Kobe well. This guy is so excited, what's the point of passing?

Sun Ce and Morrow's mid-range and low-post defense are not good, and the effect of double-teaming makes Kobe feel that he needs to do a few more actions, which is a bit troublesome, and he can't form a real threat. One against two, it's still Sun Ce and Morrow double-teaming. Kobe doesn't take it seriously at all. Occasionally, when he is happy, he directly pulls up and shoots.

The rhythm of the game in the first half of the second quarter was set. Under the influence of multiple factors, the success rate of both teams was good, maintaining an efficient level of 50%, which is related to the good protection of the defensive rebounds of both teams.

The two head coaches found that Sun Ce and Kobe were in a delicate balance. They were very surprised and did not want to break this balance. For the Grizzlies, it was great to be able to compete with the Lakers with Kobe + Gasol + Odom in the rotation stage. On the Lakers side, Zen Master thought it was troublesome and just played like this.

Since Sun Ce was not worried about the physical strength in the second half, he played more and more happily; Kobe did not expect Sun Ce to play like this, and he also played more and more happily!
