Eight Hundred and Fifteen. Beating Crazy and Being Beaten Crazy (Five Thousand Chapters)

"You are just scared by that sophomore. He is nothing without his teammates. Show your confidence and fight once, and you will know that he is not as good as you think." - George Karl.

In addition to the words of George Karl scolding his players that were announced, there is actually another paragraph that has not been announced.

Combined with the previous scolding, the older and more experienced players know that George Karl is encouraging them.

Of course, everyone's senses are different. For example, really young players may have special feelings, like Lawson, who has been looking for reasons to get rid of that sense of frustration.

Yesterday, I heard George Karl's latter words and ignored the previous words.

He now has a seed in his heart-Sun Ce played so well because of his teammates. Without Randolph and Gasol, two top inside players, Sun Ce was not much better than him.

And he can find a reason for this matter. Although he regarded this reason as the reason for his frustration yesterday, he now regards this reason as a condition for regaining his confidence-when the two led the rotation lineup, they played equally!

However, this seed can also be interpreted in this way - we lost to Sun Ce not because I am not as good as Sun Ce, but because my teammates are too bad.

Everyone has their own way of finding confidence, and this is Lawson's way of finding confidence.

Lawson played with Courtney Lee, Wilson Chandler, Al Harrington, and Chris Anderson.

This lineup has excellent defensive counterattack and pure running and gunning capabilities. Lawson's current four teammates are the four teammates who cooperate best with him. Nuggets head coach George Karl is also capable and the rotation is very organized.

On the Grizzlies side, Sun Ce resisted the urge to tear up this arm guard and throw it away.

Without this arm guard, there is no look similar to Stoudemire, no 20% matching bonus, no 100% bonus...

100% bonus and 90% bonus are two concepts.

100% is to directly obtain all the ability evaluations of Stoudemire, and they are the strengths of both. For example, Stoudemire has strong bounce speed, confrontation, and explosive power, so we get these aspects. Sun Ce is stronger in speed, flexibility, ball control, etc., so we get these strengths of Sun Ce.

And 90%, those various influencing conditions will be very large, such as body shape, which is an unbridgeable gap, but 100% addition,

will ignore these influencing factors directly.

Of course, the weight of 93 kilograms cannot be changed, just like the previous dunk over Nene, if it was the real Stoudemire, Nene was knocked over and Stoudemire would probably be fine.

Sun Ce and Conley, Morrow, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, a combination of one big and four small, came on the court.

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

Sun Ce received the serve and quickly advanced to the three-point line, and Courtney Lee came up.

From the whistle to continue the game, Sun Ce's unstoppable desire to attack came.

And it's amazing, he just wants to help the team score quickly, as for who scores... it doesn't matter.

With the ball, Sun Ce changed his offensive thinking from the offensive arrow when he didn't have the ball to his original thinking, waved to Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian came out to help Sun Ce block Courtney Lee, and Sun Ce broke through from the right!

Chris Anderson, who expanded the defense, wanted to confront Sun Ce, but Sun Ce's temporary A-level burst acceleration was not something Chris Anderson, an inside player, could keep up with. Sun Ce changed direction in advance and rushed to the baseline.

After being blocked, Courtney Lee rushed to the baseline as soon as possible, and Yi Jianlian cut in. Al Harrington, who was defending Paul George in the left corner, came back and blocked Yi Jianlian. The Nuggets' team defense was really good.

But Paul George also moved to a 45-degree angle to help Morrow block Wilson Chandler, and Morrow ran to the left corner.

During this period, Sun Ce rushed to the baseline and encountered the double-teaming of Chris Anderson and Courtney Lee. He jumped up and passed the ball in the air to the left corner!

Morrow just ran to the left corner and caught the ball. He turned 45 degrees to the right and took a three-pointer... hit!

A pick-and-roll with the ball attracted double-teaming, and an off-ball pick-and-roll created an opportunity. The two connected. It was a very simple tactic, but it was very effective!

It was mainly Sun Ce's vision and keen judgment of fast offense!

This kind of offense, the first time it appeared, teammates felt that it was very smooth! Whether it was the one who scored or the one who picked and rolled, they felt very smooth, because what they did was quickly converted into points. It took only 5 seconds from serving to scoring.

In the first round after the official timeout, the Grizzlies suddenly widened the gap to 6 points.

The Nuggets didn't feel much, just one ball. As soon as the Grizzlies scored, Al Harrington immediately picked up the ball and passed it to Lawson. The Nuggets were hit with a three-pointer and counterattacked directly!

The Nuggets counterattacked successfully. Wilson Chandler received the ball from Lawson and rushed to the inside to attract the double team of Sun Ce and Yi Jianlian, and then passed it to Chris Anderson who followed up. Chris Anderson scored two points with a slam dunk.

In this shot, the Grizzlies' inside defense was disorganized. Yi Jianlian was just a regular defense. He couldn't be expected to do too much in this regard. It was good enough that he could block Wilson Chandler who cut in at the first time. The main reason was that Sun Ce didn't follow closely, and Lawson did a very good job in the first pass.

If you can't defend, then don't defend. Coach Hollins just said that if you can't defend, just start a fast break and use the opponent's best way to defeat the opponent! When Sun Ce picked up the ball and retreated from the baseline to pass it to Conley, Yi Jianlian had already rushed out of the three-point line before Chris Anderson. Sun Ce rushed out, Conley passed it back to Sun Ce, and when Sun Ce rushed to the center circle, Yi Jianlian, who had reached the opponent's free throw line before Yi Jianlian, attracted Al Harrington's blockade. Sun Ce lobbed the ball to the front court, and Harrington and Chris Anderson clamped Yi Jianlian to prevent Yi Jianlian from passing the ball.

But... Sun Ce's goal for the pass was Paul George!

Paul George cut in from the right and scored two points with an empty dunk in the half court!

The big man rushed in from the middle, a follow-up three-pointer on the left, and a no-ball cut on the right weak side, and the guard guided the attack on the basket...

In the last round, Sun Ce was similar to Nash's baseline pass, and this time it was similar to Kidd's counterattack guidance in the Nets era.

Old fans at the scene immediately recognized the passing methods of the two iconic point guards at the beginning of the passing century.

Just before the official timeout, Sun Ce was still the end point of the pick-and-roll offense. After this timeout, he turned into a counterattack pass expert? And two rounds of two types of passes!

Paul George quickly retreated after scoring. He didn't know what happened to Sun Ce's defense today, but he had to work hard.

Conley also had the same idea. Although the current two-man forward and guard line defense is not top-notch, it is still at a first-class level. When Lawson pushed forward to counterattack, Conley went to block first, forcing Lawson to concentrate on getting rid of the defense first to create a threat. Lawson just got rid of Conley, and Paul George switched defense very quickly at this time, and Conley quickly switched defense to Wilson Chandler, another ball holder of the Nuggets, to go around.

It is a bit difficult to delay Wilson Chandler for too much time with Conley's height, but there is no need to delay for too long in fast breaks, as long as the opponent is not allowed to pass the ball smoothly in the first time.

After Conley and Paul George's efforts on the perimeter defense combination, the Nuggets' Al Harrington and Chris Anderson entered the interior and stood still. Sun Ce followed Al Harrington, and Chris Anderson followed Yi Jianlian.

Falling into a positional battle, Lawson's ability to organize the offense was not just weakened, he could not organize the offense in the positional battle directly. Usually, he would hand it over to Gallinari or Wilson Chandler to play one-on-one. Today, Gallinari did not play, and Lawson chose to signal Al Harrington in the low position on the left side of the three-second zone, so that Al Harrington played one-on-one against Sun Ce.

Al Harrington received the ball with Sun Ce, and Sun Ce temporarily had the idea of ​​"quickly finish the defense and we want to attack", but he did not give up defense, otherwise he would not jump around blindly. He just became impulsive in defense and lost the calm judgment to grasp the best time. However, his judgment of the position of the opponent's pass was not a problem, otherwise he would not be so easily attracted by the opponent's second pass point.

When Sun Ce saw Lawson lob the ball and Al Harrington was about to receive the ball, he immediately remembered Kobe's little trick of defending the back from the high and low positions, and pushed forward. It is true that there is a difference in weight, but now Sun Ce is like a super strong man, and the S-level strength is pushing towards Al Harrington, who has A-level strength. Al Harrington just made a catching action with his body center of gravity moving upwards, and just as his hand touched the ball, he was pushed hard...

In fact, for Al Harrington, an all-around scoring veteran who has played for more than ten years and averaged 15.5 points per game in his career, this little trick is guarded against, but the force of the push is not like a skinny bamboo pole, but like a irritable inside player. People who are pushed will naturally have a "counterattack consciousness", and Al Harrington subconsciously pushed back.

In a flash, Al Harrington just touched the ball and was about to catch it, but he didn't catch it firmly!

At this time, Sun Ce's impatient mentality of wanting to defend played a role. He stretched out his right hand without hesitation, pressed forward to poke the ball away, and then quickly grabbed the ball!

Al Harrington didn't react and was intercepted by Sun Ce. Seeing Sun Ce steal the ball and immediately dribbling to the front court, Al Harrington couldn't keep up at all!

The Nuggets were intercepted very suddenly, but the defensive discipline was still there. Chris Anderson stuck to Yi Jianlian who wanted to follow up, Lawson chased Conley, Al Harrington hurried to follow Morrow, and Courtney Lee stuck to Paul George who wanted to rush down to delay Paul George's speed.

When Sun Ce rushed to the front court, Wilson Chandler immediately came up and wanted to block Sun Ce's counterattack with physical pressure.

If it was normal, the Nuggets' defense would be as good as it could be this time, showing the style of the strongest defensive counterattack team.

However, Wilson Chandler couldn't stand up to Sun Ce, and Sun Ce squeezed Wilson Chandler to rush into the inside!

Wilson Chandler didn't completely lose his position. He stuck to Sun Ce and tried to keep up, not giving Sun Ce a chance to make a quick stop jump shot. However, Sun Ce didn't think about making a quick stop jump shot. He rushed all the way outside the reasonable collision zone, jumped up next to Wilson Chandler and slammed the ball into the basket...

Wilson Chandler jumped up quickly, trying to block the shot, or else Sun Ce would have to jump up with all his strength, but it was useless. Instead, Wilson Chandler, who was pressing on Sun Ce, was knocked over by Sun Ce's upward force!

Sun Ce ignored Wilson Chandler's close defense, rolled from outside the three-point line to the basket, and fiercely smashed the ball into the basket!

The referee whistled, and Wilson Chandler committed a foul!

Too crisp, too sharp, too fierce!

There was no need for the fans to be prepared. When Sun Ce smashed the ball into the basket in this way, the fans at the scene were like cheering machines that were electrified. Many people even jumped up and the scene went crazy!

This is an unprecedented "new posture" of explosion!

Just at that moment, regardless of skin color or jersey, they seemed to see a super power forward, and it was the ultimate enhanced version of speed! When replayed in slow motion, this ball looked even more incredible.

This dunk was very crisp, and there was no feeling of being affected at all. Moreover... Wilson Chandler was also "crisp" when he was knocked over. When the two jumped up to fight against each other, it seemed that time stopped for a moment, and then Wilson Chandler simply fell backwards.

It felt like Wilson Chandler was hit in the air and stopped for a while, and then fell to the ground with a "pop".

This ball stunned the opponent and teammates. The teammates were fine, and immediately rushed up excitedly to bump chests and high-five with Sun Ce. Randolph, Gasol, Battier and others on the sidelines started to draw dragons. The DJ on the scene was sharp-eyed and played Sun Ce's CD.

The Nuggets players were scared. This was Wilson Chandler's close defense! One of the four defensive diamonds in their forward and guard line, the opponent crushed into the inside like James, and then dunked like O'Neal? Stoudemire? Howard? Or whoever, and knocked down Wilson Chandler, a 100-kilogram small forward...

This means: If you can defend the team, I will do it myself, and you can't stop it.

What happened to the guy on the opposite side who only relied on his teammates? What happened to the explosion?

Sometimes people will only choose to believe what they want to believe, especially Lawson. He is too eager to find a reason to make himself believe that the gap between him and Sun Ce is not that big. He actively "forgets" that Sun Ce is better than him even without his teammates, and sometimes has the characteristics of a sudden explosion...

Old players are better. They will not really believe George Karl's "nonsense". That is just a way for coaches like George Karl to mobilize enthusiasm, but Lawson...

Sun Ce went to the free throw line, but unfortunately he missed the free throw.

25 to 18, the Grizzlies led by 7 points.

Lawson began to lose his calm. He didn't want to believe that Sun Ce was so much better than him. Other things were fine. He didn't believe that Sun Ce was better than him in all aspects. He felt that he also had aspects that crushed Sun Ce.

This is the biggest difference between Sun Ce and Lawson. Sun Ce is willing to accept the fact that he is not as good as his opponent in some aspects or even many aspects, and then strengthen himself through training, cooperate with teammates... and so on to make up for the gap.

But Lawson doesn't, he chooses to "lose his memory" and then muster up the courage to go hard.

This is fine, but Lawson got impatient. He quickly advanced to the frontcourt and saw Wilson Chandler and Sun Ce pushing into the basket. He didn't care whether Wilson Chandler could really catch the ball. He just saw Wilson Chandler had space to cut in, so he passed the ball to him...

Sun Ce and Wilson Chandler both saw the ball coming in and wanted to push the other to catch the ball. Both of them crossed their hands on their chests and pushed the other. When they stood still and were ready to exert force, the heavy Wilson Chandler and the Little Tyrant tied. Lawson's pass hit the backboard directly, and Sun Ce, who was taller and had a better wingspan than Wilson Chandler, grabbed the ball!

Counterattack!

This time the Nuggets' defense was a bit chaotic, because Lawson was obviously not calm when passing the ball, and Wilson Chandler was not ready to catch the ball and could not adapt to the situation.

When Sun Ce rushed to the front court, Al Harrington, who was retreating from the opposite side, failed to block Sun Ce at the top arc. The other two people who returned to the defense quickly retreated to the basket. Sun Ce passed the ball back to Morrow who was unguarded at a 45-degree angle.

Morrow made a three-pointer... but it didn't go in, but Lawson and Courtney Lee were guarding the basket!

After Sun Ce passed the ball, there was a space for acceleration. He took two steps into the three-second zone and jumped, and smashed the ball into the basket over the heads of Lawson and Courtney Lee!

The two people under the basket didn't even dare to make a move. In this situation, how to stop it?

Another wave of fast breaks, 27 to 18, after the official timeout, the Grizzlies played a wave of 9 to 2, and Sun Ce scored 4 points and 2 assists!

When two counterattack teams play against each other, what is the offensive side most afraid of?

The most afraid of continuous mistakes! As long as there is a mistake, it almost means losing points.

And the Nuggets, after scoring a stable cooperation after the official timeout, began to make continuous mistakes. Al Harrington had no choice that time, but later, it was almost all Lawson who made mistakes!

It's not that I don't want to adjust. If it was that easy to adjust, Iverson wouldn't have 4 single-game 10+ turnovers and 16 single-game 9+ turnovers. James wouldn't have 2 10+ turnovers. Wade wouldn't have 4 10+ turnovers. In the future, the brothers Turtle and Deng Deng wouldn't have 10+ turnovers as a norm...

Even the head coach of the Nuggets couldn't make adjustments in time. Lawson suddenly made a series of turnovers for no apparent reason. Conley and Paul George, who were defending him, caught Lawson's impatience and panic after the continuous turnovers...

Lawson made consecutive turnovers in the last three minutes of the first quarter, and the Nuggets didn't score for several consecutive rounds!

And the Grizzlies kept counterattacking!

After the first quarter, the Grizzlies scored 20 to 4 in 5 and a half minutes!

The Nuggets only scored 4 points in the last 5 and a half minutes, while the Grizzlies were already going crazy!
