I Don’t Want to Be the Boss

Six Hundred and Sixty-Five. You Dare Not to Cap Me? I Dare!

Fans have never shouted like this in normal games. No one shouted when playing against Rose. After all, it was the second time to play against Rose this season. Sun Ce had just been included in the MVP candidate list, and fans were not so used to it.

With the increase in MVP candidates, when watching the live broadcasts of the Lakers, Thunder, Magic, Bulls, and the Heat, which had a better record, we often heard MVP shouts when their star players were shooting free throws. Grizzlies fans were also itching to shout...

But Grizzlies fans wanted to shout but didn't dare to, for fear of attracting hatred to Sun Ce.

But now, Sun Ce played such a brutal start against the current MVP favorite, and the fans couldn't help it anymore.

This was the first time in the history of the Grizzlies that a player was shouted MVP in a game!

This scene made Coach Hollins' eyes moist. He came to work here when the Grizzlies just moved to Memphis, and he had a deep affection for this place. In the past, when the superstars of the visiting team came to play, the fans on the scene turned and shouted MVP, just like when they played against the Lakers at home before. The Grizzlies' record this season is so good, but there were still people shouting MVP when Kobe was shooting free throws, and there were quite a few people.

Finally! Their own players were also called MVP at home!

Sun Ce on the free throw line was so excited that his hands trembled. He adjusted his breathing, suppressed the excitement he had never had before, and shot a hook shot from the side...

Don't say it, O'Neal's hands are really good. Just look at that little hook shot in the three-second zone. The feel is actually very soft. He just doesn't want to practice it, so it didn't affect Sun Ce's shot.

Sun Ce slowly adjusted the hook shot and made it!

Less than two minutes after the start, the Grizzlies had a 7-0 run!

Sun Ce scored 5 points, 1 rebound, and 1 assist.

After Sun Ce made the free throw, he immediately retreated. Seeing that the Magic had only played for a while, the referee didn't call a timeout and continued to serve and attack.

Although people only remember Howard being knocked back and dunked by Sun Ce, Nelson is very clear about this, but as the first background of being dunked by Sun Ce in two consecutive rounds, Nelson's mind is now full of the scene of Sun Ce running over him and taking off.

Not only Nelson, but all five players on the Magic team were confused now. In particular, Sun Ce's free throws allowed them to recall Sun Ce's two singles just now. The big screen also repeatedly replayed these two dunks several times amid the MVP cheers of the fans on the scene, making them unable to help but recall what happened in the three rounds after the start of the game.

It was completely different from what they expected before the game.

They didn't expect the start to be like this at all.

Although neither side expected such a start, the situation on the Magic team was definitely the worse side.

In the next two minutes or so, the Magic team played very badly on offense, and felt a little distracted, but the defense began to fight hard and double-teamed Sun Ce faster.

The Grizzlies tried hard to defend, and their offensive performance was average, but better than the Magic.

In the fourth and a half minutes of the first quarter, after Sun Ce pushed Ryan Anderson, who was helping to defend, and made a lateral step jumper, the Grizzlies led the Magic by 9 points, 11 to 2, and Van Gundy called a timeout!

Except for Richardson's single mid-range shot, the rest of the Magic team didn't score a goal in more than 4 minutes.

Because the Magic team brought up the confrontation themselves, both teams were rarely called for fouls, and there were no free throws. Seeing that the game was about to collapse, Van Gundy called a timeout in advance.

Sun Ce made 3 of 4 shots at the start, scoring 7 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block!

The Magic team replaced Richardson to defend Sun Ce, and the effect was also average. He could only double-team, but in the last attack before the timeout, Sun Ce used the pick-and-roll to shoot from mid-range, and Ryan Anderson, who switched defense, did not work either. The single defense was too poor.

Van Gundy didn't want to compete with the Grizzlies on defense. The Grizzlies ranked first in the league in defense this season! It is the only team with an average loss of less than 90 points per game, so even the Lakers, Horses and Bulls don't want to meet them in the playoffs.

Van Gundy has experienced the Grizzlies' defense. In the opening game, the Grizzlies' defense was not as good as it is now, but they had already defeated them.

But now they have to compete on defense!

The Magic team sent Arenas, Pietrus, Jason Richardson, Brandon Bass, and Howard to start arranging defense.

On the other side, Coach Hollins had a conversation with Sun Ce. Knowing that Sun Ce wanted to play without the ball, he replaced Conley first and replaced Jason Williams in advance, and replaced Battier and Gasol with Morrow and Jordan.

The Magic team's characteristics are team defense + shooting. Even if they have to grind the defense, their shooting ability is still very strong. They have the most shooters in the league. Except for Howard, everyone else basically has the ability to shoot from mid-range and long-range.

However, the Magic team wants to grind the defense, but Coach Hollins has no such plan.

After the timeout, the Magic team finally scored. Brandon Bass received Arenas' breakthrough pass and made a mid-range shot.

Arenas is still capable this season. Before being traded to the Magic, he averaged 17 points, 4 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, and still has a B+ level ability evaluation. In the future, he will not have no ball to play because of his lack of strength, but because no team dares to want him.

Attack and defense transition, the Grizzlies attack.

Jason Williams advanced to the frontcourt and saw that Sun Ce and Jordan were about to perform an off-ball pick-and-roll. Jason Williams predicted Sun Ce's running position and passed the ball first...

Sun Ce had just used the pick-and-roll to dodge the strong Pietrus and came to the baseline when he saw an orange ball flying over. He quickly caught it and was amazed that he dared to pass it. Without hesitation, he rushed into the inside before Brandon Bass, who had expanded, switched defense!

When Brandon Bass came up, Sun Ce had already fully accelerated. With his S-level explosive impact, even the power forward Brandon Bass couldn't stop him!

Sun Ce rushed to the right sideline of the three-second zone and jumped, but Randolph had already run out.

Howard didn't rush over. He stood on the left side of the reasonable collision zone and watched Sun Ce smash the ball into the basket.

There was a psychological shadow!

Including the World Championships, this was Howard's fifth match against Sun Ce. Every time he played against the Grizzlies, he was dunked by Sun Ce and never escaped!

This ball was a bit demoralizing. Howard was in an excellent blocking position, but he was afraid and didn't rush over.

When the Magic attacked, the Grizzlies expanded to defend because the Magic had good outside shooting. Howard went out to help Pietrus block Morrow. Arenas passed the ball to Pietrus who cut in. Pietrus cut into the inside and jumped up, wanting to dunk, wanting to return the favor to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce, who had retreated inside, jumped up to meet Pietrus, accurately predicted the direction of Pietrus's hand to the basket, and slapped the ball out of bounds with a slap!

This attack and defense dealt a huge blow to the morale of the Magic!

Their own super center did not dare to block a point guard who broke into the inside, and instead the point guard dominated the basket!
