Six Hundred and Ninety-Five. This Feels Bad (Four Thousand Chapters)

Fans also found that something was wrong with the Grizzlies, and there was no real inside player!

It was true that Battier occasionally played as a power forward, but no matter what, he was still a 203 cm tall small forward. He just had a good defensive awareness and his weight increased to 105 kg when he was older, so he was not at a disadvantage when facing some power forwards.

The Grizzlies were surprised themselves. No matter how wasteful they were, they would not send out such a lineup!

At the beginning of the second half, the Grizzlies attacked first. Sun Ce received Conley's serve and slowly advanced. Although the lineup was a short lineup, their goal in the second half was to suppress the rhythm!

Conley went to the frontcourt, and Paul defended him. Battier was in the bottom corner and took Sean Williams away. Paul George was running around in the frontcourt, and Fields followed closely. Tony Allen, who had no offensive ability, and Novak, who had no defensive ability, were fighting...

Stoudemire searched for a long time but couldn't find the person he should defend. Seeing Sun Ce passing half court, his teammates had found their defenders. Stoudemire stretched his neck forward and straightened it. I defend this guy?

After Sun Ce arrived at the front court, he did not expect the opponent to be in this shape. It was not that Stoudemire could not keep up with Battier in defense. Battier was not as fast as Stoudemire. Battier could only rely on defensive awareness and experience to predict Stoudemire's route of action. Battier, who was old, was looking for trouble with Stoudemire in speed.

But since the opponent defended like this, Sun Ce had to seize this opportunity. When he got to the three-point line, Sun Ce dribbled the ball frivolously at Stoudemire outside the three-point line, squeezing his eyebrows and crotch. Stoudemire ignored him and focused on defense. He was serious about defense!

With 9 seconds left in the 24-second offensive time, Sun Ce faced Stoudemire's serious but full of loopholes defense and accelerated to break through!

Sun Ce's explosive acceleration was very fast, and Stoudemire retreated again and again. When Sun Ce changed direction to the right, Stoudemire said in his mind not to panic and his body consciously stuck to the direction of Sun Ce's change of direction...

It actually stuck!

Stoudemire was not completely out of position, he and Sun Ce stood parallel to the backboard!

Stoudemire was excited and tried to defend!

Sun Ce's overall speed declined, and only the burst of acceleration was faster, and Stoudemire caught up!

However, Stoudemire's defense was very poor. With such good physical fitness, he stuck to Sun Ce, and Sun Ce did not feel too much pressure, so Sun Ce was not afraid, continued to accelerate, and rushed to the basket.

Stoudemire was excited but useless to defend Sun Ce, and followed Sun Ce's breakthrough and retreated continuously. Suddenly, Stoudemire felt bad, he had retreated into the reasonable collision zone!

At this moment, Sun Ce jumped up next to Stoudemire, and was not affected much by the defense, which was basically equivalent to a full-strength jump. Stoudemire also jumped quickly, but!

Such a close defense, on the contrary, interfered with Stoudemire's own jump!

Sun Ce broke into the inside line and smashed the ball into the basket through Stoudemire!

Even Knicks fans who are as carefree as them want to curse when they see this scene.

A post player known for his explosive physical fitness, a superstar who plays center all year round, was actually dunked by the opponent under the basket while sticking to the opponent's defense!

Can this defense be more careful?

Fans at the baseline and TV commentators who watch the game from a bird's eye view madly complained about Stoudemire's defensive moves, which were simply too bad!

Stoudemire didn't feel much when he was dunked, his defense has always been like this, he likes to jump when defending, has a lot of blocks, and has become the background many times.

Sun Ce quickly retreated after the dunk and returned a dunk to the opponent, but now is not the time to be happy, the next burden is heavier.

After being dunked, Stoudemire quickly picked up the ball and prepared to pass it to Paul. At this time, the Grizzlies retreated very quickly, and Tony Allen led the defense of Paul throughout the game!

The Grizzlies were ready to defend from Sun Ce's breakthrough to the inside.

Conley and Paul George chased Fields and Novak very closely. Battier and Sun Ce had already retreated.

After Sean Williams came over, Battier followed closely.

Sun Ce pulled his arm guard, lowered his center of gravity and pulled the trouser legs of his shorts. He stood one step outside the free throw line to avoid the three-second defense. Seeing Stoudemire successfully pass the ball to Paul who was running back and ran over, Sun Ce couldn't help but clenched his fist...

A series of small movements fully exposed that Sun Ce was now very nervous both physically and mentally!

Although Paul was prepared, D'Antoni emphasized during the halftime break that the Grizzlies might make a surprise move, but Tony Allen still limited his speed. The main reason was that Sun Ce scored the ball, and the Knicks needed to serve the ball to start the attack. Tony Allen's oppressive blocking defense curbed Paul's counterattack speed in this round.

There was no fast break anymore. Paul protected the ball and advanced, and Stoudemire got to the front court first.

Seeing the defensive position of the Grizzlies, Stoudemire was shocked!

Being dunked on was not a big deal for him. It was true that he was active in defense, but he was used to being outplayed or even being packed up. However, he also wanted to fight back!

Usually, he was teased by outsiders, and he had no way to fight back, so he had to accept it, but this time the opponent actually used Sun Ce to defend him!

Stoudemire waited outside the three-point line for a while, and when Paul came over, Stoudemire made a move that was not in D'Antoni's tactics. He ran to the low post on the right side of the three-second zone, and he wanted to back Sun Ce in the low post!

When Stoudemire cut inside, Sun Ce immediately followed him and was between Stoudemire and the basket. When he reached the low post, Stoudemire turned around and leaned against him. Sun Ce took a deep breath and stuck to him.

No matter what, his goal was achieved!

Stoudemire leaned against Sun Ce to ask for the ball, and pushed his back back, and Sun Ce was pushed back half a step.

Paul on the outside saw Stoudemire's action to ask for the ball, and always felt that something was wrong, but this was indeed a good opportunity. Isn't the tactic to get an easy shot? Is there a better opportunity than Stoudemire's low-post singles against a tall and thin guard? There is no such opportunity for an open three-pointer!

Paul passed the ball to Stoudemire, and Stoudemire began to attack in the low post!

Although Stoudemire's wingspan is about 3 cm shorter than Sun Ce, he is taller, which basically makes up for the difference, and the difference in strength and tonnage is particularly obvious!

Stoudemire tried to push Sun Ce away and dunk directly, but Sun Ce's defense was completely different from his. When Stoudemire grabbed the ball and was about to turn to the baseline to try to dunk directly, Sun Ce suddenly made physical contact with Stoudemire who was turning around with force!

The timing of this physical contact was very good, and the impact on Du Kang was beyond Stoudemire's expectations, delaying Stoudemire's forceful jump. Relying on his faster speed and better flexibility, Sun Ce pressed forward and raised his right hand to cover Stoudemire.

However, Stoudemire was not so easy to deal with. When his forceful turn was delayed by being pushed, his left foot did not move, and he suddenly turned to the right middle, stepped on the floor with his right foot, jumped with both feet, got out of Sun Ce's blocking range, and made a shot...

Hit!

Stoudemire is no longer the rough guy he used to be. In today's league, in terms of low-post scoring skills, Nowitzki, Randolph, and Stoudemire are ranked in the top three, and not many people doubt it!

Playing against Sun Ce, even if he encountered unexpected obstacles, Stoudemire didn't spend much effort.

73 to 66, the Knicks continued to maintain a 7-point lead.

Sun Ce exhaled a breath, which was considered a sigh. It was expected that he couldn't defend Stoudemire.

Let alone him, Sun, he felt that even Olajuwon would have no way to face such a single.

If Olajuwon was in a team with good defense, it would be no problem to limit the peak Stoudemire.

If Olajuwon had to defend the peak Stoudemire one-on-one...

The 29-year-old Duncan defended the 22-year-old Stoudemire. After a round of series, Stoudemire averaged 37 points per game.

A super scorer of Stoudemire's level cannot be defended by single defense.

Sun Ce didn't let Stoudemire dunk, which was a waste of effort.

However, Stoudemire was not meant to defend Stoudemire. Stoudemire, who is at the peak of his physiology and technology this season, can't be defended by anyone.

Attack and defense transition, Sun Ce received the serve and slowly advanced, continuing to slow down the pace. After he advanced to the frontcourt, the Knicks had already formed a new defensive formation under Paul's command.

Stoudemire went to defend Battier, Novak defended Tony Allen, Sean Williams barely followed Paul George and Paul defended Conley...

It was Fields who was waiting at the top arc!

He did not choose to break through without the speed advantage. At present, except for the pick-and-roll breakthrough, Sun Ce's other breakthroughs are based on the speed advantage.

"Landry Fields, 20 years old, 202 cm tall, 214 cm wingspan, 95 kg weight, ability evaluation, offense, defense, three-pointer... speed, strength, bounce... 113 points, 71 boards, 19 assists per game... 11 three-pointers per game, 37.4% three-pointer hits..."

Sun Ce glanced at Fields' ability evaluation. This was a big bargain picked up by the Knicks in the 2010 draft, one of the best performing rookies this year.

Sun Ce passed the ball to Conley who pulled out to receive the ball, and then ran to the right side of the three-second zone in the same position as Stoudemire just stood. When there were 10 seconds left in the 24-second offensive time, he leaned on Fields who followed him to ask for the ball!

Conley passed the ball to Sun Ce, and Sun Ce pushed back. Unlike Stoudemire, Stoudemire used the strength of his waist and back to carry the ball back. Sun Ce held the ball with both hands, bent his knees, and pushed his shoulders back in a waist-down posture to create space for his lower body!

People who saw Sun Ce's posture seemed to see the No. 24 on the West Coast! Or, the basketball god on the East Coast who was already potbellied!

Just when Fields tried his best to stick to Sun Ce, Sun Ce turned left suddenly. Since his lower limbs and waist were not affected at all, Sun Ce turned very quickly and instantly left Fields behind and cut into the baseline!

Sun Ce turned around and entered the baseline, slapped the ball hard, crossed the basket and grabbed the ball, took a big step forward, jumped, and in the air, Sun Ce grabbed the ball with his right hand and swung it from bottom to top. While jumping and swiping the ball up, he turned 90 degrees to the left in the air, turned his back to the baseline and dunked the ball into the basket!

Low-post turn and dunk around the baseline!

Sun Ce's shot made people seem to see a god who was a beat slower and the man who was closest to God!

Because Sun Ce was more slender and taller, and with the stretching movements, although the jump height was not that high, he looked as sassy as those two men!

But no one thought of another person, Hakeem Olajuwon, who backed up Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in Game 5 of the 1986 Western Conference Finals, turned around and dunked around the baseline to seal the victory and advance to the finals with a score of 114 to 112!

When Paul used the reverse run to catch the ball and advance, he saw Sun Ce running back to his own half and celebrating with Battier, and he didn't even feel like scolding him. This guy is too stupid!

Without a forward player with good defense and excellent height and wingspan, there is no way to defend at all, but unfortunately, Prince thinks their defense is poor. When Prince, who is in the contract year, was asked by the Pistons management if he is willing to go to the Knicks to win with Paul, Prince refused on the grounds that the Knicks' defense is poor. The Pistons are willing to actively trade anyone, but if Prince does not want to go to a certain team, even though Prince has no trade veto power, the Pistons management will not easily trade him.

It is a commercial league, but each team has its own unique human touch. The only player that the Pistons are unwilling to disappoint is Prince, who has been diligent, hardworking and loyal since he joined.

After Sun Ce and Battier high-fived, he immediately went to stick to Stoudemire who had already arrived at the frontcourt.

Sun Ce was so annoyed. His teammates were not friendly at all. Conley was taciturn, Paul and George were rookies and were afraid of strangers. Tony went to defend Paul. Only Battier was willing to high-five him to celebrate...

This time Paul advanced very quickly. With experience, facing Tony Allen's full-court press defense, Paul used Fields' pick-and-roll to accelerate the advancement.

But the Grizzlies' opposing players were faster than the Knicks in every position!

When Paul arrived at the frontcourt, the Grizzlies' defensive position had been completed, and the defensive awareness of each position was very good!

Without running, the role players did not have a good opportunity for the time being, but the role players were not without effect. Their shooting restraint opened up the space.

So, in the low post, Stoudemire once again had a perfect low post single opportunity!

Relying on the pick-and-roll just now, Paul's defender is Paul George, who has good height, wingspan, athletic ability, and defensive talent. Stoudemire still has the best chance. Paul feels something is wrong, but still passes the ball to Stoudemire.

Sun Ce's defense in the low post has only one goal, which is to prevent Stoudemire from dunking. When he really can't stop him, Sun Ce would rather pull Stoudemire down from the air!

D'Antoni on the sidelines saw Stoudemire easily throw the ball in with a close-range jump shot after turning back and stepping back, and saw Sun Ce receiving the serve and slowly advancing to fight a positional battle again...

The offense went smoothly, and it only took thirteen or fourteen seconds to finish the offense in both rounds. Although it was not fast, it was not slow either. The Grizzlies' offense lasted for a long time, and basically scored in ten seconds. In comparison, the offense was completed in thirteen or fourteen seconds, and the rhythm of the game was not slow.

And the key is that the opportunity is very good, and it seems to be going smoothly, but D'Antoni and Paul both feel that something is wrong!
