I Don’t Want to Be the Boss

Seven Hundred and Thirty-Two. Little Overlord's Key Block! (Six K Chapters)

The feel is really nothing to say, Sun Ce made 2 of 3 hook shots in the second half of the third quarter! In three positional battles, Sun Ce scored the ball twice, and at other times, Sun Ce was trying to speed up! And following the threat from the combination of Moro + Shuangdi, Sun Ce strengthened his personal offense and scored 5 points and 1 assist in the counterattack, helping the team score 13 points in 5 minutes and 05 seconds!

The Lakers only scored 10 points in a little more than 5 minutes!

The Grizzlies' speed increase is effective, as it was proven in the second half of the second quarter!

If the Lakers replace Gasol and use the inside combination of Odom and Artest, they can keep up with the speed. This has been proven in last year's Western Conference Finals, but even if Jackson has 11 championships in hand, he can't keep up. It doesn’t mean you can always win.

This time, the Zen master did not make the best arrangement at the right time, mainly because he did not expect that Sun Ce's playing style would change so drastically.

I never expected Coach Hollins to be so indulgent to Sun Ce.

After three quarters, Sun Ce scored 20 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists! Rebounding teammates have sacrificed too much. The Lakers' three towers are very good at grabbing offensive rebounds, and they always keep at least two people on the court. Whether it is a double king or a double bear, as long as Sun Ce is there, Sun Ce will be blocked for Sun Ce to grab. , it belongs to your own team anyway, at least it won’t be allowed to your opponents.

The most important thing is that everyone is used to it...

The Grizzlies entered the fourth quarter 87-85!

For Kobe and the Lakers, the current situation is very torturous. They actually lost by 1 point in the third quarter! Now two points behind the Grizzlies!

The Grizzlies are best at grinding out defense when they have a lead, and Kobe certainly knows that.

The Grizzlies are really in good shape and deserve to win. Kobe admits this. It’s just that he happens to be in good shape and his team is generally in good shape, maintaining the same level as in January. A ferocious performance.

The main reason is that the Grizzlies are very different from other teams. The Grizzlies' outbreak is not like the outbreak of some teams, such as the Warriors and Suns. They just hit consecutive three-pointers. This kind of three-point team explodes. It's so powerful that it can't be stopped.

But the Grizzlies don't have that ability. They come together as a team. Sun Ce performed so well and only scored 20 points in the third quarter. Kobe scored 15 points in the third quarter alone.

The Grizzlies' outbreak made Kobe feel very uncomfortable. It turned out to be an explosion in "resilience". No matter how behind they fell behind, they could catch up with their resilience.

If Kobe Bryant had seen Initial D, he might have felt sympathy for Takumi Fujiwara's opponents.

The Grizzlies are so tough! This uncomfortable feeling is something that those who have experienced the anxious stage of playing against the Grizzlies want to punch these fat guys to death.

Beyond that, Kobe felt his own decline...

If he was in such a state last season, how could he only score 35 points in three quarters? At least he was aiming for 40+ in three quarters. If he was in such good form last season, it would not be very difficult to score 60+ in a single game.

Although there is a physical distribution plan for him by Zen Master, this factor affects his continued performance, but now that this plan has been implemented and implemented, it is also one of his declining performances. Without Zen Master's use of him, he would not be able to maintain his performance this season. First defense level.

In the finals last season, he averaged 41 minutes per game and reduced Ray Allen's three-point shooting percentage to less than 30%. If he really faces that kind of confrontation this season, of course, he can do it. , maybe just a few games.

To get the season to a point where Kobe Bryant's defense is required, he must save his energy in the regular season. Anyway, there is no need to work too hard in the regular season. Even if he plays like this, he is still at the double-team level.

Now that we can rely on reducing playing time to maintain dominance on both offense and defense,

Of course, Kobe will not choose to stand out. He has won all honors and does not care about regular season statistics.

The Grizzlies are getting excited!

The most difficult time was over! Then it’s their time!

No team is willing to play the fourth quarter against the Grizzlies when they are behind. It does not mean that the Grizzlies have never lost if they are leading into the fourth quarter, but that even if they lose, they will make their opponents peel off!

The break was almost over, and Sun Ce played with Conley, Battier, Randolph, and Gasol.

Sun Ce is playing very excitedly now, and his data... is not explosive, but it feels like when he played against the Nuggets. When he wins, the whole team feels happy together, and when he loses, the whole team takes it together!

We have a long break today, so it won’t be a big problem to play through the fourth quarter.

On the Lakers side...Kobe and Odom rest! A lineup of Blake, Shannon Brown, Artest, Gasol and Bynum was sent.

Bynum was sent out in the fourth quarter, which was quite rare. Jackson was helpless. Odom played for too long in the first three quarters. From the second half of the first quarter to the end of the third quarter, Odom didn't play for even a second. No rest.

13 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block and 2 steals. Odom's performance in 25 minutes couldn't be better, and he was tired enough. Usually Bynum should lead the team in the second quarter. He played in the second half of the second quarter. Duan should be replaced by Barnes. At that stage, he was playing small forward. Rookie power forward Karakot should partner with Bynum to finish the second quarter, but Bynum played too hard and became tired in the middle of the quarter. , replaced Gasol in advance, and Gasol's ability to lead the team alone is not good, Kobe Bryant played the entire first quarter...

It can be said that the Zen master has no tricks. There will always be situations that cannot be dealt with.

But Zen Master was unwilling to break Kobe's rotation for a regular season. He knew Kobe too well. If he indulged Kobe for the first time during regular time, there would be a second time. This guy could easily take advantage of it.

But this game is not without a chance. Master Zen is still confident because he has Kobe in his hands!

The Twin Towers are here. Although Artest's status has declined this season, he still has two brushes. With Blake, the Lakers are not waiting to lose. Their lineup is still the starting strength of an ordinary playoff-level team!

The Zen master has no other options, it’s just that tonight’s situation was unexpected.

The game started in the fourth quarter, and the Lakers attacked first.

The Grizzlies stepped up their defensive confrontation as soon as they came up. The Twin Towers pulled out the basket, and Artest sat in the low post to beat Sun Ce in singles!

This change of play is very thoughtful. Not long ago, the Lakers defeated the Thunder in a game by relying on Artest to beat Durant in low singles. However, Sun Ce's defense, especially against such a veteran, was better than Durant's. To be stronger, when Artest exerted his strength and turned around, Sun Ce took the initiative to release his strength. When Artest raised the ball and threw it, Sun Ce relied on his fast bounce, height advantage and accurate shot-blocking prediction. Slap down Artest's low turn layup!

Randolph withstood Gasol and grabbed a defensive rebound!

Artest, who has lost his explosiveness and bounce, has lost the power of his low post singles like he did a few years ago.

After Sun Ce advanced to the frontcourt, he handed the ball to Randolph. Randolph did not enter the Lakers Twin Towers in the low post, but stepped back and made a mid-range shot... Gasol also defended very well. Randolph also failed to score a baseline step-back jumper.

But it doesn't matter, the Grizzlies continue to strengthen their defense.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, we finally entered the Grizzlies style of play that fans are used to, a familiar taste, a familiar confrontation, and a familiar thing - blacksmithing.

The Grizzlies played very smartly and continued to improve the confrontation. At the beginning, Conley and Gasol each received a foul, but they did not reach the number of free throws. They continued to fight, and the referee recognized this confrontation.

As for the Lakers, they are really not used to encountering this kind of defense in the regular season. Even if they have played against the Grizzlies once, it only happens once a year. In addition to playing the Celtics, how can they encounter this kind of defense in the regular season? To this kind of defense.

Even if the Grizzlies did not have the strength to widen the point difference, after all, their twin towers were present and the point difference was not widened, but the Lakers players on the court felt tortured.

That's the thing about the Grizzlies.

At 3 minutes and 45 seconds of the fourth quarter, Jackson rarely called a timeout. With Sun Ce hitting a long two-pointer from the right mid-range, the Grizzlies started the fourth quarter with a 6-4 run. , widening the point difference to 4 points!

In nearly 4 minutes, the two teams only scored 10 points in total, which made Zen Master unbearable. In nearly 4 minutes in the first three quarters, they might have scored 4 points as a single team.

At this time, Kobe and Odom also took a rest. In addition to playing a role on the defensive end, Bynum did not have a strong desire to play in singles on the offensive end because Gasol was there. Moreover, under Sun Ce's shrinking defense, Bynum Mu met the defensive combination of Gasol + Sun Ce. He took two shots and was hit by Sun Ce. It was exactly the same as in the first half of the first quarter. At the beginning of the game, Kobe also passed the ball to Bynum, allowing Bynum to When Bynum played in singles, Sun Ce also gave Bynum a big hat.

Watching the Lakers put on a lineup of Fisher, Kobe, Barnes, Odom, and Gasol, Sun Ce knew that the critical moment was coming!

This lineup is the Lakers' strongest lineup at critical moments this season. Barnes and Artest are the changes in this combination. The opponent has fast outsiders, such as Barnes, such as the Grizzlies who play two point guards. , if the opponent has a perimeter player with sufficient tonnage, go to Artest.

Tonight is Kobe's night. He is the most dazzling superstar, and he continued his previous touch in the fourth quarter!

Kobe came up and faced Battier's defense and fell back to hit a three-point shot. It was very fast and crisp. He caught the ball and threw it directly. It was a flat shot with no arc at all. It felt like he was slamming the ball in. Basketball feel.

When the Grizzlies attack, with Conley around, Sun Ce is freed from holding the ball and continues to fall to the high post on the right to rely on Kobe for the ball!

Conley lobbed the ball to Sun Ce, who immediately turned around after receiving the ball.

This time, Kobe did not attack, but prevented Sun Ce from crossing the baseline. Sun Ce's baseline hook in the second half of the third quarter was too accurate.

Sun Ce reacted quickly, changing from turning around to break through to turning around and hitting the ball, moving sideways and taking off in a step! He distanced himself from Kobe and took a long two-point shot...

The moment he took action, Sun Ce felt like he was about to score.

Sure enough, continuing his previous shooting performance, Sun Ce hit a two-pointer. Sun Ce scored 4 points in the fourth quarter, and his personal score increased to 24 points!

During the transition between offense and defense, the Lakers attack. Battier defended Kobe very tightly this time when he caught and shot, so Kobe used a similar style of play as Sun Ce to receive the ball and turn around to break through!

Fortunately, Sun Ce's quick defense prevented Kobe's mid-range shot. Kobe rushed all the way to the inside and faced Gasol for a pull-up layup... but missed!

It's just that the Grizzlies didn't score on the next offense, and Conley's three-point shot was also solid.

The game has entered an extremely anxious state. If the Lakers score a goal, the Grizzlies will try their best to score another. If the Lakers are strong, the Grizzlies will follow suit.

Whether this game is good to watch or not is not a question of whether it is good to watch or not. After the fourth quarter started, the game was very ugly!

But the fans in front of the TV just like to watch it, because there are Sun Ce, Kobe, Randolph, Odom, two Gasols... It's ugly, at least you can see how these stars struggle.

However, the Lakers are different from ordinary teams. They played seven games like this in the finals last year!

The Grizzlies are used to playing like this, and Kobe enjoys it!

Finally, in the ninth minute of the fourth quarter, Kobe hit another three-pointer, and it was the kind of defense that Battier hit his eyes, but he still made the ball! The Lakers tied the score for the first time in the fourth quarter! The Grizzlies called a timeout.

Kobe played for nearly six minutes in this quarter and scored two goals, both of which were three-pointers, raising his personal score to 41 points.

99 to 99, the Grizzlies only scored 12 points in 9 minutes in the fourth quarter, and the Lakers only scored 14 points.

After a lot of hard work, Kobe made a three-pointer to tie the score, which hurt the morale of the Grizzlies.

But there was no way, the defense was good enough. Battier blocked the three-pointer, Sun Ce helped defend the mid-range, and Gasol was under the basket. It was already a very good defense against Kobe, and Kobe's characteristics of loving to shoot and shooting hard at critical moments were used. The defense was very good.

But Kobe suddenly threw in a shot that was impossible to defend!

This is Kobe's characteristic. He will keep shooting, making the defender defend with all his strength. When the defender thinks he has defended, he suddenly makes a shot, making the opponent feel frustrated and forget that Kobe only made 2 of 6 shots in the fourth quarter!

But this trick is effective. The Lakers also have defense. Kobe only needs to carry out his plan to torture the opponent's defender.

At this time, the score was tied, and Sun Ce was guarded very tightly. After 24 minutes, Sun Ce did not score. In the past 5 minutes, the Grizzlies only scored 6 points, 4 of which were scored by Randolph grabbing offensive rebounds. Randolph also had 22 points and 11 rebounds today, which was almost at the limit.

Coach Hollins thought for a while, and then he made up his mind, "Who cares? Just do it!"

...

Sun Ce played with Conley, Morrow, Yi Jianlian, and Jordan. He watched these teammates play together in the last three minutes of the crucial game... This is a bit crazy!

Even though he was used to Coach Hollins's occasional show, he was also hurt.

However, running and gunning at the critical moment was very exciting!

The Lakers did not make any substitutions, and they still played the combination of Fisher, Kobe, Barnes, Odom, and Gasol.

The Zen Master's expression changed this time. He could never have imagined that the Grizzlies would replace all the front three at this time! All three players were replaced by offensive players.

The timeout ended, the game continued, and the Grizzlies had the ball in the frontcourt.

After receiving the ball from Conley at the midline, Sun Ce immediately began to accelerate and broke through to the right side of the top arc.

Kobe quickly followed Sun Ce's footsteps and moved sideways. Although he will be 33 years old in the summer, he has good physical strength. He played for 32 minutes and was like nothing happened. His physical talent can be imagined, and his condition is maintained very well.

Just when Sun Ce rushed to the right side of the top arc and entered the three-point line with a big step, Kobe wanted to move over to confront, but was blocked-Yi Jianlian's pick-and-roll!

No need to make gestures to cooperate, Yi Jianlian came.

Sun Ce rushed into the inside, Odom switched defense, Sun Ce rushed all the way to the bottom line... Barnes doubled from the right bottom corner! Sun Ce's position, the Lakers dare not let go, it is the defensive focus arranged by the Zen Master!

Sun Ce immediately passed the ball to Morrow in the bottom corner, Morrow received the ball and shot a three-pointer...

Really accurate! Morrow made his fifth three-pointer in this game!

Attack and defense changed, the Lakers attacked, and Gasol easily turned around and shot in the low post to score two points.

The double emperor combination came on the court, which allowed the Grizzlies to avoid the Lakers' terrifying twin tower defense to a large extent on the offensive end, but why didn't they use it at the beginning of the first quarter? It can't be defended!

If the offensive stability can be maintained in the run-and-gun game, it's fine. If it can't be maintained, the opponent will be so stable in the low post, and the Grizzlies will have fun.

However, Sun Ce is in very good condition tonight! The judgment he made is also very good!

More than two minutes after the timeout, although the Lakers relied on Gasol and Odom's low-post singles to score 6 points in a row, and all 3 shots hit, maintaining extremely high stability, but the Grizzlies got 8 points!

Immediately after Fisher missed the three-pointer after receiving the ball, the Grizzlies fought back! With more than 1 minute and 12 seconds left in the game, Sun Ce took advantage of his teammates' containment, turned around the baseline and made a layup, widening the score difference to 4 points!

10 to 6! In two and a half minutes, the Grizzlies scored 4 goals in a row!

This time, Coach Hollins' gambling substitution was right. They maintained their offensive success rate. Even if the Lakers maintained stability in the double tower positional battle, they failed to defend the Grizzlies!

Yi Jianlian cut in and made a layup 2+1, Conley made a mid-range shot with Jordan's off-ball pick-and-roll, Morrow's three-pointer, and Sun Ce's third goal in the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies pulled the score to a theoretical safety advantage.

However, with a guy like Kobe who is a headache, this advantage is not an advantage!

The Lakers did not call a timeout and continued to attack. After Fisher advanced to the frontcourt, Kobe, who had not actively asked for the ball for more than two minutes, waved to the defender outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right side to ask for the ball.

And the one Kobe leaned on was Sun Ce!

Only Sun Ce can defend Kobe. If the two emperors are replaced, there must be two shooters. Paul George certainly cannot be replaced at this time. Tony Allen does not have a three-pointer. Battier was exhausted in the middle of the fourth quarter. Only Sun Ce can be used.

Kobe resisted Sun Ce's forward movement, suddenly turned around, and cut into the middle distance. Fisher tacitly passed the ball to Kobe. Kobe received the ball, jumped up, and shot a long two-pointer. Kobe trusted his bounce very much. He felt that Sun Ce's matchbox-like bounce, even if the bounce speed was fast, could not be blocked, because his bounce speed was faster than Sun Ce! When the ball left his hand, he smiled. This ball felt very good...

"Pah"

Kobe's upturned mouth corners became the best footnote to this ball. Sun Ce slapped Kobe behind his back and slapped the ball away!

Kobe still has an A+ level bounce speed, but Sun Ce triggered the effect of Olajuwon's hand straps and also has an A+ level bounce speed! Moreover, it is slightly faster than Kobe! Relying on the advantage of height and wingspan, Sun Ce blocked Kobe!

Seeing that there was a rebound that Sun Ce couldn't grab, Yi Jianlian and Jordan fought hard for it. Yi Jianlian fell to the floor to grab the ball. Odom fouled Yi Jianlian in the fight. The foul count had reached, and Yi Jianlian went to the free throw line!

Kobe looked at Sun Ce who celebrated with Yi Jianlian after completing the block and bumped his chest. He didn't expect to be blocked at all. He felt like a big fool for smiling just now!

After celebrating, Yi Jianlian went to the free throw line and made both free throws!

111 to 106, the Grizzlies locked the victory!

During the free throw period, the Grizzlies replaced Jordan, Morrow, and Conley with Tony Allen, Battier, and Gasol, and matched Sun Ce and Yi Jianlian to grind defense again, completely giving up the offense.

Main defense three-pointer!

At this time, Kobe was powerless to save the situation. He missed two consecutive long-distance three-pointers!

Although Odom once grabbed an offensive rebound and made a layup, the Grizzlies still had a 4-point lead. Sun Ce was very stable and did not act recklessly. With 17 seconds left, Sun Ce found an opportunity and hit another hook shot from the baseline, killing the game!

With 17 seconds left, the Lakers stopped playing and wasted the last 17 seconds. The referee blew the whistle to end the game.

Kobe played 35 minutes in the game, 13 of 27 shots, scored 41 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists. In the fourth quarter, he reduced the hit rate of nearly 60% in the first three quarters to less than 50%...

Sun Ce played 33 minutes in the game, 12 of 19 shots, with a super high hit rate, scored 28 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 blocks. In particular, the key fourth block blocked Kobe's long two points at the critical moment, helping the Grizzlies lock in the victory!

The Grizzlies defeated the Lakers 113-106 and won six consecutive victories!

36 wins and 9 losses, the Grizzlies defeated the Lakers in the ranking battle, making the Lakers' record 34 wins and 11 losses, and increasing the win advantage to two!
