Eight Hundred and Seventy-Six. Double MVP Combination!
This season, Sun Ce finally has an ability that can be called "absolutely strong" - high post singles!
If it were last season, unless your hands were too hot or you were using a star experience card, when playing against a strong team and Randolph was in a sluggish offensive state and other teammates did not have the stable three-point control of Moreau, he would You can only worry, try to calm yourself down, and slowly grind on defense with your teammates.
Therefore, last season the Grizzlies often had times when they were particularly passive. A team that relies solely on defense to win can easily become passive, especially in the regular season. They have to change opponents before playing a game, unlike the playoffs where they have to change opponents in consecutive games. Play the same opponent at least four times.
But this time, for the first time in the first five games, Randolph missed a shot from the second half of the second quarter for more than half a quarter because his opponent's defense was too fierce. Sun Ce stood up at this time and used his high post to shoot. Advance, attracting the opponent to use defensive shots to cover the threats brought by the basket and the bottom line, helping Randolph find his touch!
After the Bulls, who were 4 points behind, called a timeout, Sloan replaced Rose, Luol Deng, and Boozer. Rose played 18 minutes, Luol Deng 19 minutes, and Boozer 17 minutes. His late appearance time is not as high as that of Sun Ce.
Hearing Sloan call his name, Rose immediately took off his training clothes and prepared to go on the court to compete with Sun Ce.
With 12 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists, he is far behind Sun Ce! He could not help but make demands to Sloan and wanted to challenge Sun Ce.
If it were Thibodeau in the past, Rose would be eager to go up and confront Biao. As long as the score is behind, Rose would not even think about going down to rest.
But Sloan can't. He must strictly protect Rose's body.
The season is still long, Rose is not Sun Ce, and his ability to withstand grass is not that strong. Sloan needs to be cautious and cautious.
Sloan himself has observed Sun Ce's recovery ability, but what he finds most incredible is that when he was chatting with Stockton, when he mentioned Sun Ce, Stockton said that Sun Ce might play longer than he and Malone. .
Because Sun Ce is too healthy!
The same short-range and high-speed change of direction, in Sloan's opinion, Rose was seeking death. The Grizzlies also thought Sun Ce was seeking death at first, but later...
Unlike Rose, who wanted to be quick and quick, Sloan thought longer term. He used 10 years to plan a player, not just one game.
And after surviving this difficult half of the game, the Bulls were only 4 points behind, so there was no need to replace Rose in advance.
Injuries caused by fatigue accumulate bit by bit and cannot be taken lightly. Just like Stockton asks Sun Ce to practice yoga and get massage every time after training, protecting the body also starts from bit by bit. .
It will be hard to get used to it at first, but over time it will be no problem. After three to five years, Ross will know how to be grateful. After ten or eight years, Ross will respect Sloan as a father like Stockton did. So Sloan ignored Rose's complaints. He didn't call a timeout until the point difference reached 4 points and replaced the main players. Sloan was very satisfied with the performance of the players in the past four minutes. He now has to put down the players before the third quarter is over. The point difference narrowed, or even surpassed——
Otherwise the fourth quarter will be difficult!
…
The combination of Rose, Korver, Luol Deng, Boozer, and Noah appears.
Seeing the combination of Sun Ce, Nash, Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Yi Jianlian on the opposite side, Rose got a headache.
This is a double MVP combination!
Rose didn't take advantage of Randolph's poor start to the second half to expand the lead and was overtaken. Rose complained a little about Sloan, but he knew that Sloan was treating him well, so he just complained instead of being dissatisfied.
Sun Ce watched Rose come up, and the pressure of the incident came. The current defense of this lineup is okay on the outside, but the inside defense is really bad, and because the inside defense is not good, he has to shrink when defending the basket. It seems to be a good outside defense. It will be greatly affected, and both internal and external lines are indispensable.
The game was about to continue. Sun Ce took his teammates on the field and gave them a few instructions - flank Rose and cut off Rose's attack.
Let Rose give the ball to Noah or Boozer or Luol Deng to organize the offense, and finally, attack with all your strength!
The timeout ends, the game continues, and the Bulls serve from the center line.
Rose received the serve and used Boozer's pick-and-roll to easily pass Paul George and break into the paint, but was surrounded by the Grizzlies!
The Grizzlies are very good at flanking. Rose can't find a good passing route. Klay Thompson flanks quickly and has very good awareness. Sun Ce blocks the pass to the weak side. In a flash, there is no time to think too much. Too much, but not enough on-the-spot reaction, and full of confidence in himself, Rose took the initiative to enter the basket next to Yi Jianlian, and pulled the rod sideways to throw...
Sun Ce seized the opportunity and made a keen judgment. Then Yi Jianlian blocked Rose and forced Rose to pull the lever, and slapped the ball to the right corner!
Nash, who was following Korver's movement, was exactly in that position, received the ball and started a fast break!
Sun Ce, who finally blocked Rose once, was very excited. Seeing Nash grab the rebound of the blocked shot, Sun Ce immediately stepped down. After receiving the long pass from Nash, he cut inside and looked back to pass the ball like a moon. Paul George followed up and caught the ball with a split dunk and scored two goals. point.
66 to 60, the Grizzlies extended their lead to 6 points!
Sloan had already stood up and shouted on the sidelines, asking the players to find loopholes in the opponent's defense instead of getting into the trap.
Although the Grizzlies' lineup is top-heavy and not good at defense, they can still do a good job in blocking Rose, who plays with the ball.
Sloan's roar made Rose understand the Grizzlies' defensive strategy. He found that the opponent attached great importance to his defense. He was a little confused as to why the Grizzlies did this. But this time, after advancing to the frontcourt, he saw Boozer push Sun Ce away with a push from the mid-range, and immediately passed the ball to Boozer. Boozer received the ball and turned to face Sun Ce, and then used his body to force a strong attack, attracting Klay Thompson's help defense. Boozer passed the ball to Luol Deng who cut into the baseline after being vacant, and Luol Deng slipped to the baseline and made a layup.
The Bulls just scored a goal, and Yi Jianlian, who was restrained by Noah's height and did not dare to defend Luol Deng, immediately picked up the ball and sent it out.
After receiving the serve, Nash advanced a few steps, and then Sun Ce quickly went down to restrain the defense and passed it to Paul George. Paul George chased and shot a three-pointer... It turned around the basket and didn't go in. Rose ran back to the inside to grab the defensive rebound. Paul George's three-pointer didn't go in, but it also scared them!
Too daring to shoot!
Moreover, Paul George has made great progress in defense and shooting during this long offseason.
After advancing to the frontcourt, Rose gave the ball to Luol Deng. Luol Deng failed to break through Klay Thompson. He wanted to rely on his strong body to force Klay Thompson, a rookie, but Klay Thompson entered the NBA after his junior year. He was very strong and his defensive awareness was beyond Luol Deng's expectations. Facing Klay Thompson, who had a B+ level quasi-first-class defense, it was still difficult for Luol Deng to play one-on-one. He gave the ball to Boozer who pulled out from the basket with Sun Ce.
Rose took the initiative to bring Paul George, who was defending him, to Boozer. This was a strategy to actively give Paul George the opportunity to double-team Boozer and give Boozer another chance to pass the ball.
Boozer cooperated very well and turned around to push Sun Ce away and force a breakthrough. His ball control was very beautiful. As a short inside player with extremely poor athletic ability, he could average 20+ points per game, relying on his skills.
Sure enough, Paul George approached Boozer and had a chance to make up for the defense. Seeing Sun Ce being run over, he immediately blocked him.
Rose immediately cut in from the middle, Boozer passed the ball, Rose took the ball and dribbled one step to the left to avoid Yi Jianlian's defense and layup...
"Snap"
Although Yi Jianlian's own defense was useless, Rose's lateral movement and pull-up ability under the basket were comparable to Kobe and Ellis, which made Yi Jianlian run around, but it worked for Sun Ce. Seeing Rose coming with Paul George, Sun Ce knew what Rose was thinking and had already prepared.
Taking advantage of the effect of "Olajuwon's hand straps", plus Yi Jianlian's useless but at least let Rose make a lateral pull-up action, Sun Ce accurately judged Rose's throw route and slapped the ball out of bounds!
Rose made two shots after entering the second half, and was slapped away by Sun Ce twice!
The scene was dead silent!
Rose was targeted too badly, and Rose was too confident in his inside scoring. Originally, he had a chance to pass the ball to Noah, but he hadn't scored for a long time and wanted to do it himself, and was blocked by Sun Ce again.
And Sun Ce... has blocked 6 shots!
Watching Sun Ce pull the hand strap, put the strap into his wrist, and then high-five with Yi Jianlian to celebrate this defensive cooperation, Rose adjusted his mood. Compared with the past three seasons, Rose, who entered the fourth year of his career, was much calmer and was not defeated by Sun Ce.
He knew that Sun Ce was particularly good at taking advantage of the opportunities created by his teammates. He knew that this ball was his own problem.
The Bulls had the ball in the frontcourt, and there were only 5 seconds left in the offensive time. Paul George was close to Rose, and Noah passed the ball to Luol Deng. Luol Deng received the ball, dribbled one step, and then stepped back to shoot a three-pointer...
Still missed, but Boozer grabbed the offensive rebound!
Why did Asik score 8 points in the first half of the second quarter? He grasped the situation that Sun Ce sometimes couldn't block the position. Yi Jianlian or Jordan could only block one person, and Sun Ce had to do the other one by himself. Sun Ce's positioning was sometimes effective and sometimes not. In the first half of the second quarter, he failed to block Asik for several consecutive rounds.
This time, Sun Ce's explosive impact force couldn't withstand Boozer, and the king of low-post positioning couldn't be triggered. Boozer squeezed him away and grabbed the offensive rebound.
After Boozer grabbed the rebound, he shot close to Sun Ce...
"Snap"
Sun Ce relied on his arm span advantage to shoot the ball that Boozer raised up.
But Boozer reacted quickly, protected the falling ball, stepped back and shot a jump shot... Sun Ce had no choice but to watch Boozer shoot the ball.
Sun Ce was a little regretful about this ball, but Boozer almost vomited blood. He was a former All-Star power forward, but he was blocked by a guy who called himself a point guard when he was shooting close!
Is there any justice in this world!
Fortunately, he is agile and good at shooting.
When the Grizzlies attacked, Sun Ce took advantage of Nash and Yi Jianlian's pick-and-roll cooperation to help Klay Thompson with the pick-and-roll, creating an opportunity for Nash to pass the ball to Klay Thompson. The Bulls' defense focused on defending the three-pointers of Nash, Klay Thompson and Paul George. Klay Thompson successfully attracted the double-team of Luol Deng and Boozer with Sun Ce's pick-and-roll. Sun Ce slipped to the bottom line and received the pass from Shi and made a hook shot!
68 to 64, Sun Ce did not give the opponent a chance to tie the score!
When the Bulls attacked, Rose calmed down. He didn't care if he couldn't score, and began to receive the ball and pass the ball with the help of Boozer's singles.
After the play was clear and the choice was correct, Rose made assists in three consecutive rounds, passing the ball to Noah twice, and Noah scored 4 points in a row. He also took advantage of the distraction brought by Noah's high-up play to pass one back to Boozer who passed the ball and pulled to the free throw line. Boozer faced Paul George and shot one backward.
But Nash and Sun Ce did not fall behind!
Sun Ce played as a shooting guard, responsible for scoring and passing the ball. During this period, Sun Ce scored two points, Yi Jianlian scored two points, and Paul George also seized the opportunity of the opponent's failure to follow up after receiving the ball and hit a three-pointer.
The Bulls scored three goals in a row, and the Grizzlies could not defend, but played a wave of 7 to 6!
The game lasted until the end of the third quarter, and the Grizzlies led by 6 points 79 to 73 into the fourth quarter!
The Grizzlies played very smoothly in this half!
Sun Ce's two blocks on Rose contributed greatly to the difference from 4 points to 6 points. Sun Ce had 5 blocks in this quarter!
5 blocks in a single quarter, the Internet was almost blown up by the end of this quarter!
Some people said that Sun Ce was just lucky and had good teammates, but some people refuted that even with good teammates, few people could play like Sun Ce, and the argument continued.
But no matter what the public opinion is, playing well is playing well. After three quarters, Sun Ce's data increased to 21 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 7 blocks and 2 steals!
Entering the intermission, Sun Ce scored 11 points, 6 rebounds and 5 blocks in the third quarter, which was beyond the expectations of Coach Hollins. In the second half of the game, Sun Ce actually seized the opportunity to send three blocks, including the two blocks of Rose that successfully blocked the Bulls' offense. The three blocks were all to seize the opponent's carelessness, but being able to seize the fleeting opportunity can be positive. Sun Ce's assist defense this season is better than last season.
The defensive lineup should have been replaced in the final quarter, but Coach Hollins thought of the "weird tactics" that the opponent played around Korver's three-point threat at the beginning of the game. If they really put aside the offense and focused on defense, once the opponent really scored a high score at a certain stage, they would be passive.
And Sun Ce has played for almost 31 minutes. Although Sun Ce's physical strength has improved significantly compared to last season after the offseason, there is still a gap between him and the truly physically strong players.
And Rose, who has better physical strength on the opponent, only played for 25 minutes after three quarters.
Sun Ce didn't seem to have the idea of changing his jersey today. Coach Hollins thought about it and wanted to help Sun Ce avoid the physical crisis...
"It is said that we kill the viewing of the game in the last quarter, this time I will let you watch happily!"
