Six Hundred and Seventy-Two. The Little Overlord Who Is Extremely Focused
Watching Jordan's alley-oop is really enjoyable. He is not as fierce as Griffin but still domineering; he is not as arrogant as Stoudemire and Howard but has a sense of being unstoppable.
To describe it, it is probably stretching, and it feels like the best alley-oop that a center can do in your imagination.
Sun Ce became more passionate, but he himself did not feel it.
He felt very happy when the ball was scored. After retreating to the backcourt, he actively followed DeShawn Stevenson who started to run.
Kidd pushed forward to the frontcourt and saw Sun Ce's active pursuit. He felt Sun Ce's fighting spirit and felt that he was also ignited.
Last season, he looked down on Sun Ce, but this season, he regarded Sun Ce as a real opponent.
Thinking that he has played to this stage, he is still compared with the two young MVP candidates by the media and fans. He himself feels incredible.
Not only Sun Ce, Kidd and Rose's matchup is also very popular.
Nowitzki did not ask for the ball to play one-on-one, but ran. Kidd looked for Chandler to pick and roll on the left side of the top arc.
Chandler came up to block Conley, and just when Jordan was ready to switch to Kidd's pick-and-roll and make a three-pointer, Chandler's pick-and-roll was withdrawn!
Fake pick-and-roll!
Chandler suddenly turned around and left Jordan behind, cutting into the paint!
At the same time, Nowitzki helped DeShawn Stevenson block Sun Ce in the middle distance on the right side of the three-second zone. Sun Ce wanted to switch defense with Battier, but when he saw Chandler cutting into the paint, he immediately went to Chandler to make up for it.
Kidd passed the ball!
After blocking Sun Ce, Nowitzki immediately retreated to the baseline mid-range, and as soon as he got to the position, he received Kidd's pass! DeShawn Stevenson pulled out after the pick-and-roll, and Nowitzki was wide open, shooting from the baseline free throw line...
The Mavericks' tactical coordination was perfect, but unfortunately, Nowitzki's first shot was iron!
Sun Ce, who was in the back, saw Nowitzki shooting after blocking Chandler, and immediately turned around to hold Chandler. The King of Low Post Positioning Level 2 was triggered, and Sun Ce barely blocked Chandler from rushing for the offensive rebound.
But why is Chandler called the most perfect role player center?
He does things without forcing himself,
but tries his best to do what he can do. He did not force himself to rush for the ball. After being blocked by Sun Ce, he jumped at the same time as Sun Ce and used his height and wingspan to pass the ball to the outside line!
It was also an offensive rebound! Kidd judged the direction of Chandler's pass, rushed up to grab the ball, and quickly transferred. Randolph received the ball from the left bottom corner because Nowitzki missed the shot. Marion received the ball and shot an open three-pointer in the bottom corner...
It went in!
"Pay attention to the rebound!"
Sun Ce yelled at Jordan.
Jordan just picked up the ball and was about to pass it to Sun Ce, and was yelled at by Sun Ce. It felt that Sun Ce today was different from usual, and seemed to be particularly serious. Jordan thought it was because the opponent was Kidd, and Sun Ce was serious.
Jordan nodded. He knew that it was his fault that Kidd had grabbed the ball just now. He passed the ball to Sun Ce.
Sun Ce was very focused and serious now. He received the ball and advanced quickly, trying to disrupt the opponent's rhythm.
This was Sun Ce's instinctive judgment based on the opponent's first attack.
Coach Hollins on the sidelines was very satisfied with Sun Ce's speed. The opponent intended to empty the inside line on the offensive end. Even if Chandler had no chance to attack, he could use Chandler's excellent physical condition to use his signature "push and grab" style to grab rebounds in positional warfare to prevent Sun Ce from grabbing rebounds and counterattack.
When Carlisle took a different approach and let Nowitzki integrate into the team with a role player style, although Nowitzki's sharp high-post back-to-back play was missing, Nowitzki was indeed integrated into the team, and the overall offense was played very well!
If Coach Hollins had come by himself, he would definitely not have thought of such an unconventional trick. He could probably think of bringing out the singles ability of Yao Ming and the backcourt double guns, and then fighting the defense.
Sun Ce pushed forward to the front court, without hesitation, immediately handed the ball to Conley, and then cut into the inside.
Jordan saw that Sun Ce was very serious and focused, and became very active. When Sun Ce cut in, he took the initiative to pull out to help Sun Ce block Marion.
This time, the two had very good off-ball cooperation. Sun Ce was ready when he saw Jordan pull out. When Marion was blocked by Jordan, Sun Ce immediately accelerated. Facing Chandler who was expanding, Sun Ce took the initiative to stick to him, turned around Chandler 360 degrees forward, and bypassed Chandler!
As soon as he entered the three-second zone, Sun Ce saw an orange-yellow object flying over!
Sun Ce subconsciously grabbed the ball and rushed forward. Nowitzki blocked him. As a member of the background emperor army, it was no longer a new thing for Nowitzki to be blocked and knocked away.
However, Sun Ce did not force it. He threw the ball to the left side of the basket with a high throw. Randolph jumped up and touched the ball in the air, and connected the line in the air!
The ball was scored, and Sun Ce reacted when he retreated.
What was that ball just now? Jason Williams hasn't played yet!
But that ball...
Sun Ce looked at Conley who was still cool while retreating. What's wrong with this guy?
Jason Williams on the sidelines widened his eyes. He felt that the team's changes were a little different from what he wanted at the beginning.
Sun Ce shook his head without thinking too much. He got another assist and felt very happy.
4 to 3, the Grizzlies scored in the first two attacks. Sun Ce retreated back and invested in defense. Battier was directing the positioning...
The opponent's rhythm did not pick up because of their attack just now.
Kidd has a good control of the rhythm. He will not do anything recklessly unless he leads by a large score.
Gasol is not here, and Tony has not come on yet. Battier is the defensive leader on the court.
Sun Ce followed DeShawn Stevenson, a 3D player whose physical fitness can defend James who has not yet polished his skills. This guy has strong cutting and three-point abilities, and at the same time pays attention to the pick-and-rolls of Chandler and Kidd.
Chandler went up to help Kidd block Conley. He wanted to repeat the previous round of offense, but Jordan defended well this time and stepped well. As a defensive expert, Chandler saw that Jordan's defensive movement was excellent this time, so he really helped Kidd block Conley.
Switch defense!
Jordan judged the opportunity and immediately defended when Kidd used the pick-and-roll to avoid Conley.
Kidd did not have much speed advantage against Jordan, so he broke through the middle when Jordan had not yet come up!
Sun Ce switched to Nowitzki after the pick-and-roll between Nowitzki and DeShawn Stevenson. Nowitzki did not ask for the ball to play alone, but played a good role in containing the defense.
Seeing Kidd's pick-and-roll breakthrough, Sun Ce immediately retreated from the baseline when Kidd entered the free throw line. Kidd passed the ball to Nowitzki, and Jordan and Sun Ce quickly switched defense!
The two did a very good job of switching defense on this ball! Tacit understanding! Jordan did not expect Kidd to switch defense this time. Almost when Sun Ce came in from the baseline, he had already rushed towards Nowitzki from the free throw line to the middle of the arc of the reasonable collision zone near the right side of the three-second zone.
Kidd judged that Sun Ce would retreat, but did not judge that Jordan would switch back to Nowitzki!
Nowitzki did not expect that when Gasol was not there, Sun Ce and Jordan's inside defense would be so good! Especially Sun Ce, revealing a feeling of excessive excitement.
After receiving the ball, Nowitzki turned around and faced the basket. Just when he had to play against the jumping male center on the opposite side after running for a long time, he saw the situation on the left side of the three-second zone, and he was delighted and threw the ball to the basket.
This ball was very sudden, without any shooting preparation. Jordan didn't expect Nowitzki to throw it like this, but... it was not a shot!
Nowitzki hung on the left side of the basket, Chandler squeezed Conley and rushed in, took a step outside the left side of the three-second zone, and got the ball in the air.
Chandler's movements in the air were very beautiful, because Jordan's previous alley-oop was too beautiful, Chandler had a jealous mentality, he consciously pulled the ball back, and chopped the ball towards the basket when his body fell!
Alley-oop gliding tomahawk!
Just when the ball was about to dunk into the basket, Chandler fell down and had lost momentum, a fancy arm appeared in front of the basket, and a rare big slap with a hand bandage hit the ball!
The ball bounced off the backboard and Kidd grabbed the ball. It was almost 24 seconds. Kidd received the ball and threw it into the basket over the head of Jordan who rushed back. It didn't touch the rim!
The referee blew a long whistle, and the Mavericks committed a 24-second offense violation!
Sun Ce unconsciously showed a smug expression on his face. The bow of the hand tie was rubbed out because of the action of rubbing the ball. It was a little loose. He untied the hand tie, bit one end, and started the bow tie performance with one hand again.
Seeing Sun Ce's smug look, the fans near the baseline began to scream with their almost useless voices. Chandler, who was blocked, was stunned for a moment. He was blocked even in an alley-oop!
Nowitzki didn't expect that he threw the ball out with a shooting action, and Sun Ce could predict it! How much attention should be paid to observing the details!
Sun Ce noticed that Nowitzki didn't face the basket for single play and didn't kick his legs to create space. However, although Sun Ce noticed that Nowitzki's shot was not right, it was not easy to block Chandler's alley-oop. It was mainly Chandler who did it himself. He had to pull the ball back to play the tomahawk, which gave Sun Ce the opportunity to block it!
Jordan went to the baseline to wait for the referee to serve the ball. The 24-second violation was equivalent to a dead ball. The ball needed to pass the referee's hand first.
This gave Sun Ce time to tie the hand straps again.
Jordan sent the ball out, and the Mavericks had retreated back. Sun Ce received the ball and immediately advanced quickly.
Today he felt that he was in a very good mood and it was easy to concentrate!
In this case, let's do it!
Sun Ce, who was very focused, found that the opponent had a tendency to shrink when he arrived at the frontcourt. Sun Ce didn't give the ball to Conley. He made a gesture after passing the center circle and accelerated the breakthrough directly!
