Six Hundred and Ninety-Four. The Big Central Defender Appears!

"Hakeem Olajuwon 1989-2000 version, 27 years old, height 213 cm, weight 116 kg, ability evaluation S+, offense S-, rebounds S+, blocks SS, defense S+, three-pointer F, mid-range shooting A+, S+ for layups, A- for speed, A+ for jumping, S for endurance, S- for strength, SS for post-ups in the low post..."

Except for his relatively "weak" scoring ability, which is not as strong as his offensive ability at the peak of his MVP season between 30 and 31 years old, Olajuwon's evaluation of all aspects of his abilities is simply perfect!

Especially at this time, Olajuwon was at his physical peak, the year when his athletic ability, rebounding, steals, blocks, etc. were at their peak!

Sun Ce was still frightened by the fact that Olajuwon's statistics were not MVP and the best defensive player, and the reminder came that the bonus was completed.

"Due to the large difference in athletic ability, body shape, and playing style between the host and Hakeem Olajuwon, the effect of Oscar Robertson's balance bracelet has been automatically used."

"The host's temporary ability evaluation is S- (small forward),

Physical fitness A+: speed A, strength A, endurance S, jumping A-, leg explosive force A+, explosive impact force A...

Shooting evaluation A+: three-pointer F+, mid-range shot A+, layup S...

Technical evaluation S-: ball control A, passing A, low post skills S, high post skills A-..."

Sun Ce's eyes lit up when he saw the evaluation of his abilities after the bonus!

In particular, he quickly went through Olajuwon's style of play in his mind, and his body temporarily accepted Olajuwon's muscle memory. He closed his eyes and "recalled" Olajuwon's operations in the game. Sun Ce felt chills. stand.

too strong!

Unlike O'Neal who is unstoppable, Olajuwon's physical fitness is top-notch, and his skills are top-notch among the top!

Moreover, except for three points, which is basically nothing, other aspects are well balanced!

It’s different from using Howard and O’Neal’s star experience cards! O'Neal was unwilling and unnecessary to develop new techniques, which did not affect Sun Ce's shooting, but Olajuwon greatly improved all Sun Ce's techniques!

Compared with Howard, there is a huge difference. Except for Olajuwon's athletic ability, impact power, and rebounding, which are slightly inferior to Howard, in all other aspects, he is the ultimate enhanced version of Howard!

Speed ​​and ball control were affected;

There's no way, even if he uses Oscar Robertson's balance bracelet to make him more adaptable to the skills of frontcourt players, Olajuwon can't play small forward no matter what.

Despite this, after using Dameng's star experience card, Sun Ce's ability evaluation was temporarily raised to the super top level, that is, the superstar level!

After Sun Ce completed the star experience card bonus, Coach Hollins also completed his strategic explanation of the second half's play style. He mainly emphasized that in the second half, he should put aside the play style of the first half and go all out to defend and let The other party is not used to it.

But the specific rotation and tactics have not yet been arranged.

The idea of ​​such an operation is very good, but when it comes to actual operation, it is full of difficulties.

Coach Hollins asked the players to rest for a few minutes, arrange specific rotations before going on the field, and then discuss with Dave Joerger how to solve the problem.

Some teammates went to the Madison Square Garden business district to get their hair styled, such as the two emperors, and some went to sign autographs and take photos with fans, such as the arrogant Randolph. What is lost is the best. D'Antoni was in the game At the previous press conference, he said that letting Randolph go was a mistake. If Randolph and Stoudemire formed an inside partnership, they would be invincible in running and gunning and positional warfare.

After Conley listened to the strategic direction for the second half, he ran to the bathroom and shut himself up. When Randolph came back, he had to go and pick him out...

Sun Ce didn't run around. He sneaked to the coach and sat down next to him. He listened to the discussion between coach Hollins and the defensive assistant coach and understood what coach Hollins was worried about.

Coach Hollins' headache is how to control the rhythm in the second half!

It's not that simply sending Tony Allen and Gasol up will suppress the rhythm. We tried it at the beginning of the game. Gasol just came in and couldn't suppress the run and gun. The Spurs back then were Even in the playoffs, they couldn't suppress the run and gun. In the 2004-05 season, when the Spurs were still beating the Suns, the Spurs averaged 108 points per game in the Western Conference Finals. The Suns also averaged 104 points per game in the Western Conference Finals that year, with a shooting percentage of A terrifyingly high 49%, but the Spurs controlled the rhythm, allowing the Suns to average only 83 shots per game, while the Spurs themselves averaged 86 shots per game.

The Spurs did not win purely on defense. Many people think that the Spurs can prevent run-and-gun attacks simply because the defenses of the Spurs and Pistons in the Finals that year were too scary. In fact, the Western Conference Finals were pretty good to watch. , while maintaining a certain level of defense, the Spurs restricted the Suns' offense, taking advantage of the Suns' poor defense and relying on offense to defeat the Suns.

However, Coach Hollins was confident that the Spurs' defense would be stronger than that of the Spurs at that time, so he was prepared to play a sudden change of pace.

But what kind of inside combination to send in the second half, coach Hollins has a headache.

The outside trio is a good choice. A five-person rotation of Sun Ce, Conley, Tony Allen, Battier, and Paul George is enough. But on the inside, if Gasol is put in from the beginning, he will definitely not be able to keep up with the rhythm. Let's slow down the rhythm first, and then send Gasol...

Sun Ce analyzed it and looked at his temporary ability evaluation. He didn't want to admit it, but with his current ability evaluation, he didn't even want to play as a defender. He was not used to it without the speed advantage.

There was no other way, Sun Ce said: "Coach, I have an idea."

"FUC... Noah! Are you going to give me a heart attack?"

Coach Hollins was startled and jumped up.

Sun Ce looked at Coach Hollins in confusion, is it really that serious?

Coach Hollins was concentrating on discussing defense with the assistant coach, and someone suddenly spoke next to him, which must have scared him. Moreover, Sun Ce was so gloomy that there was no sound of footsteps!

Resisting the urge to hit someone, Coach Hollins saw that the players who were still in the locker room were looking at him. Coach Hollins held back his anger and gritted his teeth and asked: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly! Otherwise, go change your jersey!"

I really want to beat this kid up when I see him!

Sun Ce came back to his senses and said, "Coach, you are worried about how to limit the opponent's inside speed, right?"

"That's right." Coach Hollins is indeed having a headache. Jordan is still a little slower than Stoudemire. If it was last season, there would be no problem. The key is that Jordan has gained weight now. Unlike when he first entered the NBA, his real position is a blue-collar power forward; Yi Jianlian is fast but not strong enough, and Randolph lacks defensive awareness.

Thinking of this, seeing Sun Ce, Coach Hollins was furious: "If you have any good ideas, just say it!"

Why are you so fierce! Sun Ce was a little depressed and said, "Coach, do you want to try to let me play as a power center?"

"Power center? Watt?" Coach Hollins was puzzled.

"I'll defend the inside!"

If you want to play as a power forward, just play as a power forward. You even came up with a new term. Coach Hollins was speechless.

But after looking at Sun Ce's height, it seems that he is not much shorter than the self-proclaimed 208cm Stoudemire, but... Coach Hollins asked: "Can it be done?"

"Don't worry, leave everything to the little overlord!" Sun Ce looked fearless, giving Coach Hollins confidence.

No way, it has to work!

Although it was only after using it that I knew that the random card was Dream's star experience card, but for Sun Ce now, this game is equivalent to throwing in a star experience card that is stronger than O'Neal's star experience card! It's really a loss if we don't win tonight and fail to complete the event!

Thinking that Sun Ce can beat Howard when he gets angry... and even if he doesn't explode at ordinary times, his ability to block positions is unexpectedly outstanding...

The main reason is that Sun Ce explodes too frequently. In one season, he can do all the things that other ordinary stars can't do in their lifetime. This is where Sun Ce really gives Coach Hollins confidence.

Now Coach Hollins is also wild, seeing Sun Ce's swearing look, just do it!

After making the decision, Coach Hollins came to his closet and took out a box from it. It was originally a birthday gift for Sun Ce, but at that time, because Sun Ce had a more sassy black and gold arm guard, it was a bit difficult to give it to him. Coach Hollins gave Sun Ce a golf club on his birthday.

But tonight, Coach Hollins felt that it could be used!

Sun Ce saw Coach Hollins unpack the gift box and handed him a custom headband with the Grizzlies logo printed on it, and his head was full of question marks.

Is he going to wear it to play?

Don't save face!

Sun Ce took the headband and looked at the new team logo. A Panda's head that bared his teeth to show that he was very fierce...

"Coach? What does this mean?" Sun Ce pretended not to know.

"A gift to celebrate your 425th day of joining the team! Aren't you going to play as a big central defender? Wear this to show respect to the other party."

"..."

Sun Ce was confused again, looking at his own head coach with a serious face.

When did Coach Hollins, a rigid, stubborn and excellent defensive coach, become so funny?

…

…

The halftime break was almost over, and the players of both teams returned to the court.

On the Grizzlies side, when they came out of the player tunnel, all the players on the team had strange expressions.

However, the fans at the scene were all focused on Sun Ce.

Seeing Sun Ce put on a clean jersey without wrinkles or sweat marks, even though Sun Ce was a visiting player, many fans cheered.

Finally saw it with my own eyes!

The lord who changed the jersey!

The director would not go against the fans and gave the big screen to Sun Ce, which clearly exposed the headband on Sun Ce's head.

The black and white vertical stripes, with a "ferocious" panda in the middle, once again caused cheers from the fans at the scene.

Sun Ce felt a headache when he heard the cheers. Coach Hollins actually customized this thing, and he was as if he would play point guard if you didn't wear it. How shameless!

But on second thought, if wearing this can distract the person defending him or the person being defended by him, it would be good.

But just think about it, except for Odom, it may be effective, and it is impossible for other people to be distracted by this thing.

However, the strange expressions of the players on the Grizzlies side are not because of Sun Ce's dress, but because of other things...

On the other hand, the Knicks players have long been accustomed to the cheers of their own fans for the opponents. Except for Granger, Rose, and James and Wade who will be booed when they come here to play, Roy, Kobe, Duncan... these popular stars are like this when they come here. Only when the Pacers, Bulls, and Heat, the three deadly rivals, come here, the fans on the scene feel like they are treating enemies.

After the two teams made the final arrangements before the start of the second half of the game, the second half of the game was about to start, and the referee signaled the two teams to appear in the second half.

Sun Ce wiped some magnesium powder and walked onto the court with his teammates.

The Knicks continued to send out the core combination of Paul + Stoudemire, with Fields, Novak, and Sean Williams on the court, these are their three strongest shooters!

It is easy to guess that the Grizzlies will change the rhythm in the second half.

Coach Hollins did not hide it, he played an open conspiracy. Gasol, Tony Allen, and Battier took a long rest, which clearly showed that they were saving their energy.

So D'Antoni was going to let Paul play the whole game tonight. Compared with Sun Ce, who had to work hard to get 18 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, and 1 block in the first half to keep the score close, Paul easily got 8 points, 2 rebounds, and 9 assists in the first half. The Knicks were leading by 7 points. They were in such a good state.

But after going on the court, Paul's eyes widened.

Sun Ce, Conley, Tony Allen, Paul George, Battier...

What the hell is this lineup?
