Seven Hundred and Six. Perfect Defense!

There was nothing wrong with the call. Courtney Lee himself felt that there was nothing wrong with the call, but it just felt weird.

Seeing Sun Ce go to the free throw line, Courtney Lee stepped back from the three-point line and waited for the free throw. He did not argue with the referee. He did make a foul move and pressed the opponent's wrist.

Amid the shouts of "Skyhoo", Sun Ce made the first free throw.

However, in terms of free throw accuracy, Sun Ce is also not as good as Lowry, and his second free throw missed!

Lowry quickly returned to the three-point line. Courtney Lee and Gallinari, who was standing on the outside on the left side of the free throw line, immediately got down quickly. The counterattack formation was already set up, but!

Randolph flexibly turned around Chris Anderson and lifted the ball in the air. The ball returned to the cylinder of the basket, bounced on the other side of the basket and fell into the frame.

Tip-in!

Randolph's added goal not only helped the team gain a 5-2 lead, it was also a successful defense!

Chris Anderson has strong running and jumping ability and is a great offensive rebounder, but his defensive rebounding position is poor and his basic skills are too rough. Even if he is stuck in the position to grab rebounds, he cannot restrict Randolph.

The Grizzlies' second attack today is very important. It is to reduce the opponent's counterattack as much as possible. Of course, there is definitely no way to completely contain it, or even to contain the opponent's speed, but it is enough to let the opponent fall into a positional battle as much as possible. At least The starting lineup has to do that.

Scoring is sometimes part of the offense!

When Nene picked up the ball and sent it out, Gasol was already running out of the three-point line. Sun Ce, Conley, and Battier had already retreated to the midline. Lowry could only advance quickly.

However, despite falling into a positional battle, there is no problem with Lowry leading the team. He can be used as a propeller for fast breaks and can also perform beautiful positional battle offenses.

Since the pick-and-roll didn't work, Lowry went to the frontcourt and chose to single Conley! For Lowry, beating Conley is still easier than beating Sun Ce. At least there is no disadvantage in terms of size. There was no way to beat Sun Ce in the last round.

Moreover, Lowry decided to play singles, and the way he played singles was a little different from ordinary guards. He started to accelerate after passing the center circle!

Why is the small steel cannon called the small steel cannon? His level of speed, level of strength, and unparalleled tonnage of the same height. When he rushes forward, he looks like a larger version of Nate Robinson!

Conley saw Lowry's charging posture and thought of a certain teammate's singles style in the training match. He quickly got close to him, but was pushed away!

Lowry rushed into the paint almost without any hindrance. Neither Battier nor Sun Ce had time to help defend. Only Gasol retreated to the basket, but Gasol retreated in a hurry and had not yet moved to the best defensive position. Lori has popped up on her face!

Lowry jumped into the paint and threw the ball toward the basket in a confrontation with Gasol.

"beep"

As the referee's whistle sounded, Lowry's pull shot hit the board!

fierce!

And be confident!

Lowry's shot was very beautiful. Even the Grizzlies players thought Lowry's shot was very beautiful.

But Conley feels that Lowry's style of play is similar to that guy's?

That guy was Sun Ce. Sun Ce had been preparing to help defend, but he didn't have time. Moreover, he saw Lowry's early acceleration action, which was very similar to him!

The details are different. Lowry slowly accelerated, exerted force outside the three-point line, used inertia and explosive power to knock Conley away and rushed into the paint at full speed, while someone else was hiding.

But the playing concept is the same!

Seeing the baby-faced Lori pouting and squeezing his eyebrows at him after scoring 21, Sun Ce felt his heart aching: "Has my master been stolen from you?"

Sun Ce saw Lowry walking to the free throw line. He really didn't expect that a second-year player would be stolen from a player who had finished his rookie contract and was already in his fifth season!

He didn't know whether he should be happy or hurt.

Just as Sun Ce thought, Lowry's singles style was learned from playing against Sun Ce last season.

This style of play feels a bit irresponsible, regardless of the position of teammates, but I am really determined to play alone.

The effect is often good. Of course, once the pass is blocked, the target cannot be found because the teammates are not prepared at all.

But if you score a goal, it’s a good goal!

Lowry also scored extra free throws and scored 5 points in a row, helping the Nuggets tie the score!

Fans were waiting for Sun Ce and Lawson to face off, but they didn't expect Lowry to break out first! Such a strong start!

In the eyes of most people, Lawson has a brighter future than Lowry and is younger. He averaged 127 points per game in his sophomore year and is the team's second point guard. Lowry is already 25 years old. People think his current performance is normal. , the police beat him so much that they immediately forgot about him.

But fans who saw Lowry play with their own eyes felt that Lowry's presence was too strong! It’s really no worse than the Nuggets’ “strongest” Gallinari promoted by the media and fans who don’t watch the game!

In the positional battle, Gallinari was blocked by Battier and had no chance to catch the ball!

The offense and defense transitioned, the Grizzlies attacked, and Sun Ce continued to rely on Courtney Lee to get the ball from the high position on the right side of the three-second zone.

Post-up play is the best way to suppress the rhythm in a dynamic offense. Although the Grizzlies do not suppress the speed, they will definitely choose to work hard to suppress the rhythm.

Sun Ce received the ball, leaned on Courtney Lee to smack the ball, turned left and jumped off the line!

This time Sun Ce was aiming to cause an inside foul to the opponent. It is relatively easier to cause an inside foul and more damaging to the opponent. However, Sun Ce turned around and saw that Courtney Lee had predicted it!

Courtney Lee's observation of details is very good! He judged that Sun Ce's force was different from the last time, predicted it, and made the right defensive choice!

Sun Ce did not stop because of this, and continued to force the attack. Courtney Lee occupied a good enough position and followed with small steps to keep up with Sun Ce. Just when Courtney Lee was very focused on judging Sun Ce's change of direction, he saw Sun Ce sticking directly to him!

At this time, Courtney Lee was keeping his arms open in a lateral movement. When defending against breakthroughs, defenders have arms open, which can increase the horizontal area in the confrontation. Of course, you can't use your arms to pull or push people, but it is more or less effective in the confrontation.

Just when Courtney Lee was in close contact with Sun Ce again and was a little confused and didn't understand Sun Ce's breakthrough choice, something even more confusing happened!

Courtney Lee heard Sun Ce's "ah", then his arm was hit, and there was another scream from behind, and then he saw Sun Ce dive into his arms again

"Beep"

The referee blew the whistle again! This time he was a beat late, and the referee couldn't stand it!

The ball that Sun Ce kicked out hit the cameraman's head outside the baseline!

He kicked it directly to the baseline, without aiming at the basket at all!

When Courtney Lee saw Sun Ce holding his waist and standing firm after hearing the whistle and walking to the free throw line, his eyes almost popped out.

What happened just now?

Nuggets head coach George Karl was already yelling "Wrong?" "What's going on?" on the sidelines

Courtney Lee immediately walked to the sideline referee and asked: "Sir, what did I do? Why did you call a foul on me?"

Why did he foul?

And he fouled twice!

It's only been a few rounds since the start of the game! Two fouls!

The referee was also very annoying. It was not the first time that he had whistled Sun Ce's game. He had also whistled a very tense game between the Grizzlies and the Celtics. Sun Ce also had such an operation, but that was the critical moment in the fourth quarter when the Grizzlies needed to overtake the score. It was understandable to use the rules to play.

But this time, Sun Ce played like this at the beginning of the game! It's amazing!

The referee is also a human being. He has his own thoughts and will think what kind of play is beautiful and what kind of play is shameless.

But the rules are like this. This is Sun Ce's home court and Sun Ce is the hottest player of the new generation of players. The referee explained: "When you moved sideways, Sun had already made a shooting action. You violated his cylinder and fouled his hand."

Violation of the shooting cylinder? Foul of hitting his hand? He came up by himself!

Courtney Lee wanted to argue, but the referee made a warning gesture and he could only endure it.

A regular foul cannot be canceled. Courtney Lee is a very calm and good-attitude player. Knowing that the matter is a foregone conclusion, he walked to the bench depressed.

George Karl yelled a few words and the referee ignored him. He could only choose to change players. Fortunately, he had as many people under him as Coach Hollins. Courtney Lee was replaced for two fouls, and Ariza could be used. He had more people.

Sun Ce walked up to the free throw line, watching Courtney Lee argue, his heart still beating violently, he was also betting on whether there would be a whistle this time, if the referee didn't whistle, it would be so embarrassing.

It has to be said that it takes a very strong psychological quality to play like this, Sun Ce's psychological quality is already very strong, but he still feels that his head is full of blood when playing like this, as if he has done something bad, you know, he is the kind of person who won't blush when asking teammates to help him block.

If Harden hadn't been ignored in the early stage of his career and hadn't suffered a humiliating trade, he wouldn't have had such a strong psychological quality to play like that, otherwise with Durant's unique physical condition, Durant would be the best one to touch porcelain.

However, Sun Ce received the ball and patted it, thinking of the feeling of doing something bad after the successful foul just now, it's hard to say whether it's shame or excitement

But the Grizzlies' own fans think there's nothing wrong, they cheered when Sun Ce walked up to the free throw line!

Sun Ce retreated back to the defense amid the shouts of "defense" from the fans at the scene, and "0" shot 3 points.

It's just full of shame.

During the transition from offense to defense, Lowry was dumbfounded when he saw Sun Ce made two free throws. Didn't he just make Sun Ce commit a foul? Sun Ce actually played so hard! In two rounds, he directly beat Courtney Lee to the point of committing a foul! This is their second-ranked defensive player on the perimeter!

After advancing to the frontcourt, Lowry was a little confused. What does it mean to be handy? What does it mean to be superb? Sun Ce's foul-making method just now was something he had never seen before.

In this era when foul-making is still in the style of Lowry, Sun Ce's foul-making is not that good, but it seems very powerful!

Sun Ce's foul-making is very different from Lowry's.

Lowry's foul-making is to use his ability to create defensive mistakes for the opponent. Just now, when Sun Ce defended him, it was Sun Ce who rushed over. Lowry fouled. He was similar to Billups and Kenyon Martin. It was the opponent who rushed over to him.

But Sun Ce is different. Sun Ce actively sticks to the opponent and is using the rules!

This is where even the referee feels annoyed. The referee feels that he is being "used", and he has to blow the whistle even though he knows he is being used!

Putting away his messy thoughts, Lowry devotes himself to the offensive end.

Will Sun Ce "anger" him and stop playing according to his own rhythm? Of course not. No matter what others say or do, Lowry will stick to himself. This is what he has always insisted on since he was not in the team until now, he has firmly established a core position in the team's outside tactics.

Conley was overwhelmed by Lowry. To him, Lowry was like Deron. He couldn't stand it at all when he bumped into him!

Lowry started to accelerate again two meters away from the three-point line!

Just when Conley was about to despair, Sun Ce came over!

Lowry was double-teamed at the top of the arc! Hurry up and pass the ball to Ariza. There was nothing he could do to double-team him.

But when the ball reached Ariza, Ariza hesitated. The blow from last season was too great! So much so that he played for almost a season after being traded to the Nuggets, and his three-point shooting rate was only 27%.

Ariza's first reaction after receiving the ball was to find his teammates. Fortunately, Gallinari pulled up at this time. Ariza was also a capable and playful player. He threw the ball into the air and took the initiative to help Gallinari block Battier who was chasing him. Gallinari quickly cut one step to receive the ball, and Sun Ce made up for it!

Gallinari received the ball and turned around to change direction in his first step. Sun Ce followed him but was a beat late. Gallinari's explosive acceleration was completely different from the impression of white people. Just like the Hayward of the Pacers, his first step was very fast. However, the Grizzlies' defense was already in operation. When Gallinari broke into the inside, Gasol was in place to defend!

The Nuggets were at a disadvantage in this position. Gallinari was blocked by Gasol and chose to force his way up. Sun Ce followed up and blocked his shot!

Gasol grabbed the ball, and the defense was perfect!

Sun Ce did not choose to use the acceleration and change of direction to get rid of Courtney Lee and continue to attack the inside in a flash, because he suddenly remembered that Courtney Lee had already committed two fouls!

Courtney Lee's three-point shooting is first-rate, with a 39% three-point shooting rate. He is the best shooter among the Nuggets' perimeter defensive players. The other two perimeter defensive players, Afflalo's three-point shooting level is similar to Courtney Lee's, and his defensive efficiency is slightly lower than Courtney Lee's. However, he is not as good as Courtney Lee in defending Sun Ce. His athletic ability is average, and he mainly relies on skills.

Sun Ce bet that the opponent would replace Ariza, and he bet right!

Ariza has all the conditions to be a 3 player, but he has lost his confidence in shooting recently. This is what Sun Ce himself saw. In the pre-game player meeting discussion, this point was also mentioned by the three big guys on the team's defense.

Sun Ce took advantage of it! Created a perfect defense!

After get off work, I went home and there was another update before going to bed. It may not have as many words as the first two updates. I would like to ask for recommendation votes as many as I can!
