Six Hundred and Ninety-Seven. Strategy...success!

After the referee blew the whistle, he quickly came to see if there was anything wrong with Sun Ce. Sun Ce rolled after landing... This scene looked a bit scary.

Stoudemire's "defense" this time was definitely not malicious. Everyone could see that Stoudemire was not prepared to defend at all. He jumped up to grab the rebound, but who knew that a big central defender flew directly in front of him? His head was buckled, and Stoudemire had already made a move to hold his body back, but after all, he was over 110 kilograms and couldn't hold it back!

The criminal was definitely not a criminal. Fortunately, Sun Ce also made moves to protect himself when he was pushed over. Apart from landing on his butt first and the pain in his back when he rolled, there were no problems.

Sun Ce fell to the floor and exhaled, calmed down his excitement, and stretched out his hand to the person next to him.

"..."

"..."

The players from the Grizzlies and Stoudemire from the Knicks saw Sun Ce lifting his body after gasping for air, and he was relieved, but when he saw Sun Ce's action...

The fans at the scene were cheering excitedly for Sun Ce's dunk, but some were worried about Sun Ce. As fans of the Holy Land of Basketball, most of them are not fans of the Knicks, but fans of this arena. They see the home team of this arena. Playing well, of course support, but they have little loyalty to the team, their pride is in the arena they own.

But seeing Sun Ce's actions, the fans were speechless...

The referee and Sun Ce looked at each other. The referee did not expect that Sun Ce would reach out to him. Sun Ce was embarrassed when he saw that the person he was reaching out to was the referee. Both of them were stunned.

Sun Ce didn't even notice who came to ask him if he was okay. He rolled back and his head was so dizzy!

But now that my hand has been extended, it seems a bit rude to take it back?

The referee hesitated for a moment and took Sun Ce's hand. Sun Ce used the force to jump up from the floor.

After looking at each other again, the referee took the ball picked up by the assistant referee and prepared to serve as if "I, as a referee, should help."

Sun Ce walked to the free throw line as if he was just borrowing help from others to stand up.

It was so harmonious that even the Canadian TV commentator who had been attacking Sun Ce laughed.

After receiving the ball thrown by the referee, Sun Ce adjusted his breathing and put aside external interference. Although he temporarily had Olajuwon's free throw muscle memory, Sun Ce was still more accustomed to his own free throw action, sideways hook...

It missed a little, hit the right side of the basket, bounced, and fell into the frame.

A perfect four-hit combo!

Sun Ce scored 4 goals in a row in the second half, and also made extra free throws, scoring 9 points, helping the Grizzlies to a 9-4 run!

75 to 73, with only two points left in the Knicks' lead, D'Antoni called a timeout!

With the idea of ​​​​"calling a timeout if he knew it earlier", D'Antoni began to adjust the lineup and arrange tactics.

Sun Ce and Stoudemire had a lively singles match before, and D'Antoni didn't react for a while, but now he reacts, they fell into the trap!

During the nearly one minute of dead ball and free throws, Paul calmed down and thought, and finally understood the Grizzlies' strategy. The Grizzlies took the initiative to give the Knicks an easy singles opportunity!

The Grizzlies did not choose to use the whole team's pressure defense to contain the opponent's speed. They had already tried it in the match at the beginning of the season. From the Knicks' past nine-game winning streak, the Grizzlies coaching staff was more certain that the pressure defense did not work. This method of limiting the Knicks' speed will instead cause the Knicks to take quick shots and become more sluggish. If the Knicks' recent state is mediocre, they can still try this, but in the past dozen games, the entire Knicks team 41% three-point shooting percentage...

No matter which serious inside line the Grizzlies send, Stoudemire's personal offense will be more or less affected. The opponent's strongest scorer in position battles is undoubtedly Stoudemire. Originally, Coach Hollins wanted to Let Randolph go to the low post, but even if Randolph's defensive ability is half, he is still an inside man, and he has a large tonnage and good mobility.

Stoudemire may choose to cooperate with his teammates and then take an easy mid-range shot, which will not completely slow down the Knicks.

Yi Jianlian and DeAndre Jordan will have a greater impact on Stoudemire. The speed and tonnage of these two people are not inferior to Stoudemire. The key is that they have a height advantage. If these three people are replaced, the Knicks will The team is bound to play a team offense, and the rhythm can easily fall into their team's rhythm.

Just as Paul and D'Antoni thought, the defensive method discussed by Coach Hollins and his coaching staff is to give the opponent a chance to score relatively easily in a positional battle, and then have another one that can stably score in the positional battle. Singles point in response.

Originally, Coach Hollins really couldn't think of any good candidates, but then Sun Ce stepped up and took over the position.

However, even though Coach Hollins had accepted Sun Ce's habitual outbursts, he never expected that Sun Ce, playing his self-proclaimed "big central defender", could single out Stoudemire and go 9-4!

It was a blast!

If it weren't for Sun Ce's skinny appearance, Coach Hollins would really want Sun Ce to change his position.

After pre-judging, Coach Hollins felt that the opponent's style of play would not change much from the halftime... This is not actually a pre-judgment. It is common knowledge that D'Antoni's tactics went all the way. Not much has changed, especially since they have been in good form recently and are definitely emphasizing team play.

Although it is impossible for Sun Ce to play inside for a long time, a talented point guard who has the size advantage and speed to face almost everyone on the back line, let him switch to playing inside... Pat Riley will jump out when he sees it. Cursing, but today facing Stoudemire, who has weak static strength... Coach Hollins thinks he can continue to wave!

…

The Grizzlies made no substitutions and only played more than two minutes in the third quarter. As coach Hollins expected, there was no Turiaf or Mozgov on the opposite side.

Facing the Grizzlies' current five-small lineup, the Knicks do not dare to send out big men. If the Grizzlies choose to run, the Knicks will not be able to control the rhythm. It will be uncomfortable for them.

The Knicks will think this way and rotate this way. Coach Hollins predicted it!

The timeout ended and the game continued. The Knicks played the ball in the frontcourt. Paul picked and rolled with Stoudemire in the high post. Sun Ce quickly switched defenses with Conley. When Stoudemire cut in, Batty was guarding Sean Williams. Paul moved in from the bottom line and blocked Stoudemire. Paul had a very good vision. Before Shane Stoudemire could completely cut in, as soon as Shane's shrinking movement turned around completely, Paul suddenly turned around. With the help of Stoudemire's restraint, he passed the ball to the left corner.

But the Grizzlies' defense is not a vegetarian. They rotate defense very quickly. They have no ability to compete with Tony Allen, who is Sun Ce's switch defense. After taking the advantage, Tony Allen gave up guarding Stoudemire and defended Fields who ran to the left at a 45-degree angle. Sean Williams just received the ball and Conley came from Fields. Make up for it and make up for it! He pounced towards Sean Williams who received the ball and was about to shoot directly!

Paul wanted to launch an offense quickly, and the Grizzlies quickly started an indiscriminate rotation of attacks and defense changes!

Conley rushed up and jumped lower than Sean Williams!

Fortunately, Sean Williams prefers combat shots rather than jump shots. He recovered the ball to avoid the defending Conley, took a step laterally, and shot a three-pointer...

Maybe it was because the rhythm was disrupted, or maybe it was because the player felt the impact because he didn't touch the ball in the first few rounds after the intermission, but Sean Williams hit a three-iron!

When Sean Williams threw the ball, Sun Ce had already put it into the basket and stuck Stoudemire with Battier.

"The low-post king is triggered at level 5. The host's strength, bounce, and bounce speed are temporarily increased by a large level when fighting for defensive rebounds..."

Dameng’s star experience card brings the effect of temporarily raising the low-ranking king to level 5 to trigger!

Stoudemire couldn't even push Sun Ce! He watched helplessly as Sun Ce moved to the landing point of the ball and quickly bounced it to grab the rebound after the ball went down.

This was a perfect counterattack opportunity, but Sun Ce hugged the ball after landing and waited for the opponent to retreat.

Paul was even more convinced of his and D'Antoni's speculation that they encountered a "malicious slowdown" from the Grizzlies!

Sun Ce advanced slowly after there was no obstacle. Coach Hollins wanted to slow down, and it was true that he also wanted to slow down, but there was another problem without counterattack. He really couldn't counterattack with his current speed.

After halftime, Sun Ce waited until there were 14 seconds left in the attack time, handed the ball to Conley, and then slowly cut inside.

As soon as Sun Ce entered the low post, he was flanked by Novak and Fields again. Stoudemire did not extend out and stayed at the basket to prevent Sun Ce from rushing for offensive rebounds and preventing Tony Allen from cutting in.

Bet on Battier not making a three-pointer!

Conley played very steadily under the current situation where the team needs stability. He did not mess around and distributed the ball to Battier immediately.

Battier caught the ball, adjusted it, and shot a three-pointer...

The big heart of Mr. President can never be underestimated. Shane Battier hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner!

76 to 75, after the Knicks called a timeout, the Grizzlies took the lead!

However, the Knicks did not panic. Stoudemire quickly picked up the ball and sent it out. The Knicks team counterattacked!

Paul never imagined that his opponent would dare to field such a lineup.

What's even more unexpected is that the guy opposite who plays point guard and has been ranked in the top three in the MVP rankings for a long time can actually restrict Stoudemire when he plays inside!

Seeing that the opponent retreated to the defensive position faster than them and quickly settled into a defensive formation, Paul's mentality was a bit broken!

I took leave to recuperate at home. I planned to write five chapters and 16,700 words today to finish this game. It seems that there is no other way. Three updates of 11,000 words is okay. Xiaofeng likes to write the key points of a game in one or two days. I finished writing about the competition. It’s a pity that my head hurt from time to time today and I couldn’t concentrate. Yesterday, I was delayed for another day.

Go to bed first, don’t stay up late, continue tomorrow, please vote for recommendation!
