Seven Hundred and Sixty-Eight. Don’t You Want to Die?
Kobe's pass was beautiful this time. He is indeed the best outside player to partner with the center. Bynum's awareness and confidence are also very good. But who would have thought that when Gasol failed to defend and did not interfere with Bynum, Sun Ce actually completed the defense by himself.
Sun Ce waited for Bynum to retreat and passed the ball to Conley. He ran to the front court amid the exclamations of the fans. His heart was still pounding. The previous dive was too fierce, but he didn't know what fear was when he was excited.
Fortunately, Bynum had to maintain balance and speed and couldn't jump completely. Otherwise, if they really collided, James wouldn't dare to block the rushing Bynum.
After Sun Ce ran to the front court, he saw Randolph asking for the ball in the low post. He first pulled away to the right 45-degree angle for a long two-point position. Conley pushed forward to the front court and passed the ball to Randolph after his teammates got into position.
Randolph hadn't played in two games. He was very excited when he received the ball. He pushed Gasol hard and turned left to grab the ball... Although he pushed his sister-in-law away, he didn't push her in completely! This time, the effect of Randolph's force was lower than he expected. Gasol moved half a step to the left while being pushed by Randolph. After Randolph turned left, Gasol stuck to him sideways and covered him from above.
Randolph's left foot was the axis of turning around, but it was useless to stick to Gasol too closely. Gasol's height and wingspan advantage played a big role. Seeing that Bynum had already doubled up, Randolph elbowed Gasol away and threw a shot. At the same time, the referee blew the whistle continuously, and Randolph was fouled!
Randolph patted his head in annoyance and ran back. He knew that he was too hot-headed on this ball.
Randolph didn't play in two games, and didn't participate in yesterday's training. He only participated in the team training this morning. Although the symptoms of cold and fever are gone, there are still some effects on his body. The main reason is that he himself doesn't know how much the injury will affect his body. He didn't really try the confrontation in the game. His strength is not as good as usual. The next attack may be much better, but he made a mistake in the first attack.
Sun Ce retreated back to defense. Randolph made a mistake in the first attack. He didn't have anything to worry about. Players of Randolph's level will always adjust to the appropriate playing style in the current state to make their own contributions.
Sun Ce focused his attention and prepared to do his best to defend in the first quarter, regardless of physical strength, and even not caring about being exhausted in the first quarter.
After Fisher advanced to the frontcourt, Kobe took Battier to the right 45-degree angle outside the three-point line, Artest took Sun Ce to the right bottom corner, and Gasol took Randolph to one step inside the top arc. Fisher handed the ball to Gasol, ran to the weak side, that is, the left bottom corner, and took Conley away. Gasol passed the ball to Bynum in the low position on the right side of the three-second zone.
The Lakers gave the offensive opportunity to Bynum at the beginning!
This is another change made by the Zen Master after the All-Star Weekend. While freeing up Kobe's playing time, Bynum's low-post offensive ability was freed up, in order to allow Gasol and Odom to rest more. Before the All-Star Weekend, Gasol averaged 38 minutes per game and Odom averaged 36 minutes per game. The two had the highest playing time on the Lakers and were the only two players with at least 33 minutes of playing time.
The Zen Master has made very good arrangements in the team's physical plan.
And Bynum did not disappoint. After the All-Star Weekend, Bynum won the Player of the Week award, 5 times 20+ and 1 time 30+ in 11 games, and the rebounds were in double digits for 11 consecutive games, especially the hit rate, 63%!
After receiving the ball, Bynum was very confident and rushed towards Gasol.
Gasol missed his bloated self. Without that fat, he became a new generation center who could compete with Bynum for the third center in the league in the next two or three years. However, facing the low-post hard drive of Bynum who was full of energy at the beginning of the game, Gasol felt like being hit by a buffalo every time Bynum hit him. He tried very hard to hold on, but was still knocked back by Bynum little by little.
Bynum occupied his turning space!
After two seconds of continuous low-post collision, Bynum grabbed the ball and held it with both hands. With his left foot as the axis, he leaned forward and exerted force, half-turned to the left, and then used the turning space created by the collision to violently push Gasol away. He raised the ball with his right hand and made a small hook shot...
At this moment, Bynum suddenly took the ball back. He felt very uneasy when he raised the ball. He turned right again with his left foot as the axis to block Gasol. He just saw Sun Ce flying over and flew out of the baseline from the position where he just turned left and stood and raised the ball!
Bynum secretly rejoiced, and after blocking Gasol, he turned left again and shot, turning around and hitting two singles in a row!
The fans at the scene saw Bynum's beautiful low-post footwork, and as an opponent, they couldn't help but exclaim.
This ball was a pity for Sun Ce and the fans at the scene. Sun Ce rushed up when Bynum grabbed the ball with both hands and leaned over and lost his sight of observing the outside line. Gasol didn't want to defend in the air this time. He tried hard to block Bynum from going deep into the three-second zone, wanting Bynum to complete the attack with a shooting action and give Sun Ce a chance to make up for the block. Unexpectedly, the opponent actually dodged at the critical moment.
But for Bynum, this ball was too thrilling! He was almost blocked! He completely relied on instinct to avoid this block.
"Is this kid crazy?"
Bynum took a deep breath and ran back to the backcourt.
Gasol picked up the ball and retreated to the baseline to pass it to Conley, who advanced with the ball.
Sun Ce, after a moment of regret, once again threw himself into the game, ran to the front court, and ran to the low post on the right side of the three-second zone.
Randolph decisively opened up on the left baseline. During the morning practice, his shooting was not affected. It was just that there was a game tonight, and there was not much confrontation in the practice. He didn't know what his physical condition was. Now he temporarily gave up singles and opened up space. He was still very confident in shooting. He was going to play without the ball first, grab offensive rebounds, and find the feeling of confrontation.
Kobe followed Sun Ce to the low post, and he felt a headache.
Sun Ce's low post skills... Kobe felt that they were average, not as good as when he first entered the NBA, but Sun Ce's physical condition was too favorable. With a 220-centimeter wingspan, it was simply cheating to play singles against guards in the low post! His 210-centimeter wingspan was not good enough!
Conley advanced to the right side of the top arc and passed the ball to Gasol, then took Fisher to the left 45-degree angle. Battier took Artest to the bottom corner to create a passing opportunity for Sun Ce.
After Gasol received the ball, Sun Ce struggled to get into position by leaning on Kobe. Kobe had the same idea as Bynum about Sun Ce's excessive enthusiasm today: What's wrong with this kid?
Gasol passed the ball to Sun Ce. When Sun Ce received the ball and stretched, Kobe suddenly exerted force and pushed Sun Ce.
Sun Ce and Kobe had faced each other more than once or twice. He was well prepared and stretched out his left hand!
Sun Ce slapped the ball to the right front with his left hand, followed the force of Kobe's top and left the low post, turned around and broke through the middle low post!
Kobe is not a vegetarian. He is still a hot favorite for defense this season. This season, only Rondo and Tony Allen can compare with him in single defense effect among guards. Iguodala ran to play small forward and was not included. Paul was dragged down by the team and his defensive efficiency was poor. Sun Ce's overall defensive effect was similar to Kobe's overall defensive effect, including the team's added defensive ability.
When Sun Ce turned around and made a low-post breakthrough, Kobe immediately retreated, but at this time Sun Ce just reached the front of the basket, suddenly stopped, turned 180 degrees, and accelerated the change of direction while moving!
Sun Ce suddenly retreated to the right sideline of the three-second zone, grabbed the ball at the same time, and lifted the ball to the basket... Kobe and Bynum, who was back, collided in front of the basket, and Sun Ce hit a low-post single!
It was just a matter of more than a second. In a flash, Sun Ce scored a difficult goal!
First, when turning around, Sun Ce used the height difference with Kobe to trigger the "error", allowing him to avoid the lack of force caused by confrontation and turning, and attracted Bynum and Kobe who had shrunk back to the middle, and it would be difficult for the two to change direction again with full force, and they were unwilling to destroy their knees and ankles to exert force again, and then used the acceleration of the change of direction while moving to return to the right side of the three-second zone and throw.
The main use is still the height advantage. Kobe was afraid of Sun Ce's direct side hook and chose to defend closely, giving Sun Ce a chance to turn around.
Kobe's teeth were bared. He couldn't imagine that a player of this size would dare to do such a move. Knees or ankles?
What's more annoying is that Sun Ce is so tall and so fast. Not to mention his speed, he can also have this short-distance acceleration ability. In particular, Sun Ce actually trained his speed and explosive power last summer. Think about it, last season, this kid's speed and explosive power were among the bottom of the NBA, at the level of ordinary inside players. This year, he has good explosive power and first-class speed!
"Did this kid really choose a career that he is least good at? Damn it... But what does it have to do with me? Let LeBron and Dwyane worry about it..."
Kobe picked up the ball and passed it to Fisher, and the Lakers attacked.
Bynum came to the frontcourt, but this time he didn't go to the low post, but pulled to the left baseline, and Gasol came to the right side of the three-second zone.
In Bynum's eyes, Sun Ce was like a madman. Although he had good skills and good physical condition, he also saw that Gasol was cooperating with Sun Ce to play defense against him. He scored in the last round, but he couldn't turn around in the low post continuously for every ball. Even Yao Ming couldn't play this kind of ball continuously. They were not centers like Olajuwon, Duncan, and Gasol. It was okay once or twice, but playing like that continuously would consume too much physical energy, and it would put a lot of pressure on the knees, ankles and even the waist.
Bynum went to the left baseline and Gasol went to the right side of the three-second zone. This was not a low-post tactic, but a triangle offense.
After Fisher advanced to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Kobe, who was in the high position on the left side of the free throw line. Kobe received the ball with his back to Battier, turned around and shot a jump shot facing the basket...
Kobe wanted to catch Battier off guard, but Battier was too familiar with Kobe and interfered well. Kobe had excellent waist and abdominal strength, and his sister-in-law couldn't live without that kind of strength. He forced a backward shot in the air... The feel was average, and the ball hit the right inside of the basket and bounced to the left front of the basket.
Bynum had a keen sense of smell for offensive rebounds. After all, he had practiced with someone for so many years. He actively rushed in the direction away from the baseline and made very accurate judgments. When he was about to take the offensive rebound and turn around and dunk, the ball was taken away!
Sun Ce!
Bynum watched Sun Ce throw himself into the air and take the defensive rebound like he was risking his life. He felt that he was being targeted!
Not to mention the Lakers, the players on the Grizzlies felt that Sun Ce played too hard!
The Lakers' offensive rebounds are a headache for the Grizzlies. They have two 2.15 meters tall guys and a big guy on the bench who may be the most technically comprehensive guy in NBA history. Although the Grizzlies have a higher average rebounds per game, they have never gotten any advantage in rebounding when playing directly against the Lakers.
Especially the Lakers' offensive rebounds. They didn't deliberately grab offensive rebounds because the team has a cancer and needs a striker, but they just grabbed so many offensive rebounds that it became a part of their "tactics".
The size and physical fitness of the Lakers' three towers are very advantageous for grabbing offensive rebounds. Just like just now, Bynum rushed out to grab an offensive rebound, and Gasol rushed out at the bottom line a beat slower, and Battier, who rushed in from the free throw line on the left side of the three-second zone to grab a rebound, was helpless in the face of Bynum's size. Both of them felt that Bynum was going to complete a second attack. Of course, this is not difficult to accept. The night before yesterday, Yao Ming and Chandler were completed three second attacks by Bynum. This guy is really amazing.
In the Grizzlies' tactical meeting, the Lakers' starting twin towers' secondary offensive ability was also emphasized, and only defensive ideas were proposed, not the kind of point that must be defended.
Because it is really difficult to defend.
But Sun Ce desperately grabbed the rebound!
It was only three rounds, and Sun Ce grabbed two defensive rebounds by himself!
These two rebounds were actually two successful defenses against Bynum, because Bynum was in a good position to grab rebounds both times. As long as he got the ball, he basically guaranteed to score, but Sun Ce desperately grabbed the ball.
The Lakers retreated quickly, and the Grizzlies were not a lineup that could play fast. Sun Ce passed the ball to Conley, patted his chest and ran to the front court.
Sun Ce was too active today, and the Lakers players felt confused, but for the Grizzlies, it was a great morale boost!
Sun Ce tried his best on the offensive end and played hard on the defensive end, which means that the lord who has made people accustomed to his explosion is here again!
