Eight Hundred and Twenty-Six. The Little Overlord with an Unconventional Outbreak
After the official timeout, the Grizzlies had the ball. Sun Ce passed the ball to Conley and ran to the frontcourt.
During the official timeout, in addition to the time for the unreliable coach Hollins to arrange the time, Sun Ce also chatted with the teammates who were about to play, trying to predict the opponent's defense in advance.
After Sun Ce arrived at the frontcourt, he began to run to the inside, and with the help of Paul George's off-ball pick-and-roll, Shannon Brown became the one chasing him.
During the run, Sun Ce determined the opponent's defense changes. The opponent is now very targeted and does not defend mid-range shots. Sun Ce, Conley, and Paul George are not given three-point opportunities; Sun Ce, Randolph, and Jordan are not given the chance to shoot at the basket. They are ready to block these two points.
Sun Ce anticipated this during the official timeout. If Kobe knew that Sun Ce used the "concentration" in his star experience card, a special effect of "hidden dragon" without direct prompts, to think about how to deal with his team, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.
Sun Ce rushed into the inside with Shannon Brown, and Bynum, who was defending Randolph on the left baseline, quickly retreated. Sun Ce received the ball at this position... A week ago, the Nuggets were dunked by Sun Ce at this position twice in every game, and they couldn't stop the foul.
Conley was about to screen for Jordan, but the screen was just a posture. After Sun Ce entered the inside, Jordan gave up the screen and cut to the inside from the middle. At this time, Conley passed the ball to the left baseline. Sun Ce on the right side of the three-second zone and Jordan in the middle rushed in. The two of them pinned down the opponent's twin towers under the basket, and Randolph's open mid-range shot...
This time Randolph did not miss and made a mid-range shot!
The opponent's defense has a focus, so Sun Ce uses the opponent's defense to limit the opponent's defense to the basket, creating better opportunities for teammates with mid-range shots.
As for why Sun Ce didn't shoot himself...
After Gasol passed the ball to Shannon Brown for a layup, Sun Ce and Paul George continued the pick-and-roll, forcing Kobe and Shannon Brown to switch defense. As soon as Sun Ce received the ball with his back to Shannon Brown at the high position on the right side of the free throw line, Kobe double-teamed him.
Sun Ce passed the ball to Paul George, who had a good chance to cut in, but Paul George chose to shoot from the outside, and because Kobe made a tip-in, Paul George's hands were shaking, and he shot a rookie Kobe-style playoff buzzer-beater three-pointer!
Bynum defended the defensive rebound!
Coach Hollins on the sidelines was ready to replace Battier. Paul George was too nervous when he faced Kobe. He originally wanted to use Paul George to enhance his athletic ability on the court, but not only did the counterattack fail, but Paul George's open shot was also off target.
He dares to shoot. Paul George, who has a McGrady-like body and a Mamba-like determination, can hardly be blocked by his opponent when he receives the ball and shoots in an open position. But this guy just can't make a shot against Kobe!
Paul George showed a lot of growth in the first round of the playoffs compared to the first half of the season, mainly reflected in his ability to play to his full potential. His three strengths in counterattacks, positional battles, and single defense with his superior physical conditions close to McGrady and Gay, which he had in college, began to show. He is a talented man. Coach Hollins originally expected Paul George to use his defensive conditions to create some trouble for Kobe during Tony Allen's rest. After all, Battier's physical strength is crucial and he needs him to play in the critical moment of the fourth quarter.
However, this time Kobe went to the frontcourt to play against Paul George. With two fake moves, Paul George jumped up. Kobe jumped and touched Paul George. The referee whistled and Kobe threw the ball into the basket...
Luckily, Paul George remembered Sun Ce's words-if he fouled, he would break the opponent's hand. Of course, he didn't break it, but the move was still big, and he grabbed Kobe's hand in the air.
Kobe failed to successfully try the 2+1 shot, but got two free throws.
Coach Hollins continued to make substitutions, replacing Paul George with Battier. In the regular season, if Paul George made some mistakes, Coach Hollins would let him continue to play,
building confidence, but it didn't work in the playoffs. Kobe went to the free throw line and made two free throws steadily. 16 to 23, the Lakers narrowed the gap to 7 points!
After the official timeout, the Lakers came back and scored in both attacks, and there was a feeling of gaining momentum.
Fortunately, Randolph and Conley had a good feeling for mid-range shots tonight. When it was the Grizzlies' turn to attack, Sun Ce and Jordan continued to use pick-and-roll to suppress the inside, forcing the opponent to shrink the defense. Conley broke through to the free throw line and made a mid-range jump shot, which widened the score difference to 9 points again.
The two teams steadily grinded the positional battle offense and defense. If they didn't make a shot, they would defend desperately on the defensive end. If the opponent made a shot, the players on both sides who played superstar performances tonight would fight for their lives to attack.
But due to the lineup problem, the Grizzlies were at a disadvantage in the second half of the first quarter!
Why does a superstar duo of center + guard seem to be more dominant than the Big Three of shooting guard + small forward + shooting power forward?
Because the two positions do not overlap! If the opponent wants to limit a team similar to the OK combination, it must have defensive experts in the inside and outside, but in this era of blurred positions, if it was Artest three years ago, he played for the Heat, from Wade to James to Bosh, he could defend.
The reason why the Grizzlies are not favored when playing against the Lakers tonight is that, although the Grizzlies have defensive experts both inside and outside the team, they both have big physical problems. Tony Allen and Battier are one lacking in physical strength and the other is older.
However, the Lakers' lineup this year is better than during the two consecutive championships. They have two single-defense players in Kobe and Barnes on the outside, and they have three towers + Artest on the inside. They are similar to the Grizzlies, and Kobe is an individual player.
Fortunately, Sun Ce took advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness in the beginning and scored 14 points in a row. After the first quarter, the Grizzlies still led the Lakers by 6 points, 29-23, entering the intersection break.
In the first quarter, Sun Ce scored 18 points in a single quarter. Wiping his sweat, Sun Ce did not expect that the game would be so difficult.
The opponent is worthy of being the team that faced Nowitzki in that form and suddenly broke out in the original time and space, and still lost only two points in the first game!
It's really strong. If it weren't for the might of the Silver Horn King, the Lakers would not be able to win three consecutive championships. Neither the Thunder nor the Heat would be able to defeat the Lakers this season.
Fortunately, if you have an advantage, you have an advantage. The Grizzlies are in high spirits and are very confident. They have Sun Ce, who has the highest score on the outside, and Randolph, who has the highest score on the inside.
In the first quarter, Sun Ce kept playing singles on the offensive end. Later, the opponent's tendency to double-block and even double-team without the ball became obvious. After that, Sun Ce began to keep running and compressing the defense to create opportunities for his teammates. On the defensive end, he ran around... despite Kobe. He has a lot of physical strength, but even Kobe Bryant in the 2002-03 season couldn't play like this. Sun Ce really felt a little out of breath...
Teammates are still quite worried about this. The break is almost over and Sun Ce hasn't changed his jersey!
Fans and opponents were also paying attention to Sun Ce, who was supporting his thigh with his arms on the sidelines. Seeing that Sun Ce, who played so hard in the first quarter, did not change his jersey, it seemed that he was not as "tired" as before.
Just when everyone felt that something was wrong, something even more wrong happened. After the break, Sun Ce walked onto the court biting the collar of his jersey.
This picture... I'm imitating Kobe Bryant again!
Kobe opposite looked at this scene with mixed emotions.
Paul George's eyes widened when he saw this scene - someone was trying to steal Comey's position: "Why didn't I think of such a scene-stealing method?"
Sun Ce took a sip of sweat from his jersey, and the system prompt came.
"Peter Pan's physical strength pool is triggered at level 5, and the host's physical strength quickly returns to the original state of the game."
Sun Ce felt that the discomfort he felt after playing desperately for the entire first quarter and stopping exercise due to the inter-section break quickly faded away. Why didn't he change his jersey? Where did the sweat come from after changing the jersey?
…
The inter-section break ended and the second quarter began, with the Lakers attacking first.
Kobe was replaced to rest for a while. In the first quarter, Kobe had 9 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, which was a bit tough. The Lakers' lineup on the field was led by Odom and Gasol, with Artest, Shannon Brown, Enter Blake.
For the Grizzlies, Morrow and Yi Jianlian are on the court, Sun Ce and Conley continue to play double point guards, and Randolph, another strong point on the offensive end of the team, continues to play.
Artest came up and hit Moreau in the low post, taking advantage of this defensive gap.
When the Grizzlies attacked, they originally wanted to continue to use Randolph's attack, but Randolph didn't make a shot this time!
Gasol defended better than expected and guarded the rebounds!
"I wiped it! The boss is useless! I still have to rely on my old grandson..."
Sun Ce felt the pressure brought by the opponent's three terrifying towers. It is true that the opponent's inside group is too strong. Overall, it is a level better than their Grizzlies team. Randolph is at most about the same as Gasol, Bynum and Odom. The two of them are better than Gasol + the two emperors, and Artest also relies on his thick skin to fight inside.
Originally, Sun Ce would not have such an idea, but today he saw that Randolph couldn't make a shot, and he had such an idea.
"Qianlong Level 5 Effect 2: Reverse Bone trigger, the host tries to turn the tide and overshadow the team boss Randolph's edge. The focus on both offense and defense is increased to the peak, and there is a probability of entering a hot state (Kobe Bryant time level 3)."
Sun Ce saw this prompt and ignored it. He only had eyes for the game now!
Odom advanced past halftime. Sun Ce directed Morrow to guard Shannon Brown. He followed Artest to the low post. Odom reached the three-point line and faced Randolph without him, passing the ball to him. Without Artest, the players on their Lakers team all have their own characteristics. Except for him and Gasol, everyone else including Kobe Bryant is a championship puzzle piece. Now Artest's legs and feet are slow, but he can attack in the low post. But it's very powerful. Without Kobe and Bynum, Artest's brute force low-post singles are more effective than Gasol's low-post singles.
Although Artest wanted to scold Sun Ce for his height and wingspan, his Mr. World Peace arms were thicker than Sun Ce's calves. After receiving the ball, he squeezed back hard. In his opinion, hitting Sun Ce was just for fun... the opponent's confrontation Beyond imagination!
Fortunately, Artest is much better in the low post than James of the same size. Taking advantage of Sun Ce's focus to lower his center of gravity and fight with all his strength, Artest flexibly turned around and slid down the baseline to the left side of the three-second zone and threw a shot with his back to the basket. plate!
Sun Ce came first, and before Artest's back-to-the-basket throw hit the backboard, he slapped the ball down with his left hand!
This is what Sun Ce has been waiting for. If Artest walks in the middle, it's hard for him to defend him. The opponent's brute force is too strong, especially now that he only has brute force. If Artest walks in the middle and presses him with his arms, he can't interfere. Artest's forced layup could only be a gamble on whether the opponent's touch was good, so Sun Ce deliberately put the baseline and turned around faster than Artest to successfully block the shot!
It was actually defended (prevented)! Blake and Conley scrambled together in the left corner. Conley quickly grabbed the ball with his quick eyes and hands, and threw it to Sun Ce who quickly dropped the ball after blocking the shot. He lived up to Sun Ce's trust!
Sun Ce received the ball when he rushed outside the three-point line and continued to counterattack. When he rushed to the opposite three-point line, he found that there was a hat-chasing maniac behind him. If he rushed to the basket and then took off for a dunk, something might happen! Making a prompt decision, Sun Ce patted the ball and entered the three-point line. He took one big step outside the free throw line and took three big steps. With the stunned expression of Shannon Brown who was ready to chase the shot, Sun Ce took one step and three from outside the three-point line. Stride dunk and score two points!
If Sun Ce was in normal condition, it would be impossible to play like this, but now Kobe is possessed, he can bounce and cover distances enough, and with his body type, he can hit a "four-step layup" from outside the three-point line in the counterattack!
31 to 25, still 6 points difference!
A blocked shot and a counterattack dunk that even looked exaggerated by Shannon Brown, a monster with such physical fitness, greatly boosted the morale of the Grizzlies!
When the Lakers attacked, the core combination of Odom and Gasol made adjustments. They were also very decisive. Artest was blocked once and immediately gave up this style of play, and Odom began to break through.
Sun Ce took back the mid-range defense against Odom, and Artest received the pass from Odom. Morrow made up for it. Shannon Brown took the opportunity to cut in. Artest received the pass in the air, and Sun Ce collected it. He took it back, but Shannon Brown's jumping height and explosive bounce couldn't be stopped.
A premeditated attack by the Lakers, relying on Shannon Brown's dunk, offset the morale blow to the Lakers team caused by Sun Ce's dunk.
The Grizzlies have Sun Ce, and the Lakers also have Shannon Brown.
Shannon Brown's biggest role is that his blocks and dunks, which look like they are not humanly possible, boost the morale of the Lakers.
Morale is very important. I felt that as soon as the morale of the Lakers team dropped, it was brought up by Shannon Brown. After Sun Ce arrived in the frontcourt, he did not go inside and asked Conley for the ball from outside the three-point line.
This stage is very important now. Both sides are fighting hard. Neither side has the strongest lineup, but both sides have two strong points. The other side is the twin towers of Odom and Gasol, and their side is Sun Ce and Lando. husband.
After playing the first quarter, Randolph was a little unable to continue playing, but he couldn't be replaced. He needed to be a containment point, so Sun Ce had to come.
At this stage, if you are not careful, you will be hit by the opponent's offensive climax. On the other hand, as long as you hold on, if the opponent cannot hold it first, you can also hit the offensive climax.
Therefore, coach Hollins emphasized the stability of the offensive end during the break between quarters. He would continue to hit Randolph on the first offense at the beginning of the second quarter.
Sun Ce also understands this, but...he just wants to "prove the coach is wrong, he is the most stable point" now!
After Sun Ce received the ball, Shannon Brown defended against Sun Ce, and Artest and Odom were also ready to help defend.
Sun Ce took advantage of Shannon Brown's defense and rushed into the three-point line. Although Artest and Odom were a beat slower and failed to block Sun Ce in the mid-range, Sun Ce rushed to the three-point line. On the right side of the second zone, Artest and Odom were on guard, as well as shot-chasing expert Shannon Brown. Sun Ce had no chance for a hook shot or layup.
The Lakers are betting that if Sun Ce is sent out, Yi Jianlian and Morrow won't be able to make a shot, but... Sun Ce doesn't want to pass the ball!
Sun Ce suddenly grabbed the ball and took two steps to slide to the baseline. When Odom quickly moved sideways to block Sun Ce's hook shot from the other side, Sun Ce jumped directly on the way to the baseline and made a small windmill in the air——
Kobe's baseline slide dunk!
The Lakers trio defended very well, and they had even given up on three-point defense to block Sun Ce. However, they did not directly attack Sun Ce, and they were still scored by Sun Ce. This was a sign of the young leader of their team. The way to score points - one against three is open!
The Lakers players feel like they can't rely on tactics to defend! We can only attack in advance! This time they reacted much faster than at the beginning of the first quarter and did not give Sun Ce consecutive scoring opportunities. When the Grizzlies attacked the next time, he just received the ball outside the three-point line, and Odom and Shannon Brown came up. Now, continue to enjoy the magician treatment. At this time, Moreau and Yi Jianlian became the key points. Sun Ce passed the ball back to Conley. Conley broke through and passed the ball to Moreau. Moreau caught the ball and hit a three-pointer!
Sun Ce single-handedly disabled the opponent's defensive tactics!
Sun Ce seemed to be playing irrationally on this goal, but irrationality also has its benefits. If he had just given the ball to Morrow or Yi Jianlian, no matter whether these two people scored or not, their Grizzlies offense would have been Within the expectations of the Lakers, playing two more rounds will definitely give the Lakers an opportunity to make adjustments.
But Sun Ce just wants to go it alone and force the opponent to attack in advance. That is not what the Lakers expected, and it is not that easy to adjust!
The Lakers were better prepared in the second quarter, but when they encountered the unreasonable Sun Ce, their preparations were useless!
The Grizzlies have long been accustomed to Sun Ce's "impulsivity", and Sun Ce is rarely impulsive. Generally speaking, when he is impulsive, he is only impulsive when he has confidence. Generally speaking, his impulsiveness will bring benefits, and his teammates play very well. Firm, but the Lakers' defensive end suffered repeated setbacks, and both offense and defense began to collapse.
Taking this opportunity, the Grizzlies went on a 14-8 run!
Halfway through the second quarter, the Lakers called a timeout, 31 to 43, the Lakers were already 12 points behind!
The Zen Master felt that his coaching experience for so many years was insulted!
The second-year player on the other side played too non-mainstream! Every time he made adjustments... it was useless! And it felt very familiar...
Sun Ce didn't have many assists. Before the half was over, he had scored 25 points, but only 3 assists, which was completely different from the impression of the Zen Master. It seemed that he only wanted to score, but the Zen Master didn't believe that Sun Ce would only think about scoring... This was not the style of Sun Ce, whom he had studied many times! Even if Sun Ce exploded, in the Zen Master's worldview, it was not like this!
In San Antonio, Popovich in front of the TV felt more familiar. In the playoffs of those years, he tried very hard to find a way to limit O'Neal, and then the Zen Master released such a guy to beat them up.
Now it's finally the turn of the Zen Master to enjoy this feeling!
