Nine Hundred and Eight. Visual Dance King: I Want to Be the Center!

The Grizzlies' away challenge to the Spurs has already changed before it even started.

On February 21, the morning of the Grizzlies' away challenge to the Spurs, the media easily found out what the Grizzlies were thinking about stealing the limelight from the Knicks.

Sun Ce did not hide his **. Although he did not say it directly, it was exposed very clearly.

He had to do this. He needed to convey his idea to his teammates and reach a consensus with his teammates on the goal. Otherwise, there might be problems if they had different beliefs about the game.

There is good news for Sun Ce now. As the All-Star Weekend holiday is approaching, his teammates are getting excited. Although they are excited about the upcoming holiday, they can clearly feel that their teammates are getting better since the game against the Nuggets. Otherwise, there would not be the key three-pointer against Paul George against the Nuggets, and there would not be the full firepower in the last game against the Thunder.

After the preparations in the morning, we rested for the whole afternoon. At 4 o'clock, Sun Ce and his teammates started to warm up, including muscle exercises, joint stretching, shooting warm-up, etc. Sun Ce and his teammates worked very hard. The warm-up was completed at 6:30, and at 6:40, Sun Ce and his teammates entered the court together.

…

After the players of the two teams entered the court, the Grizzlies were ready to go, and the Spurs were also in high spirits.

Regardless of whether Sun Ce could overshadow Lin's crazy light, his idea was exposed nakedly and became a hot topic. Originally, this game between the Grizzlies and the Spurs was not broadcast live across the United States, but at noon today, ESPN temporarily broadcast this game.

Currently, the Spurs are ranked second in the West with 24 wins and 9 losses, and third in the league. The first team in the East and second in the league is the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls currently have 24 wins and 8 losses, and the Grizzlies, who are ranked first in the league, currently have 26 wins and 6 losses.

ESPN had the idea of ​​broadcasting more games when the league's only three teams with less than 10 losses played against each other. Now it has to broadcast more. Time Warner, which originally only broadcast live in Texas and Tennessee, has also opened live broadcasts in California, Pennsylvania, New York and other places. There are still many people who buy the rights to broadcast!

The Grizzlies want to steal the limelight from the Knicks, who are located in the Big Apple and backed by American cable TV, and the Spurs players don't want to be a stepping stone.

Although Duncan didn't say that if he didn't want to answer a question when asked, he would continue to maintain his arrogant aristocratic attitude, but he also wanted to be in the spotlight.

This game has so much attention. If they beat the Grizzlies, they will be in the spotlight!

Regardless of whether the Grizzlies can maintain their winning streak in this game,

they have already stolen some of Lin's limelight. The difference between winning and losing is that if Sun Ce continues to maintain his winning streak, he can really compete for the spotlight. If he loses, it means that Lin's crazy is even more awesome.

Why is Lin's crazy causing more and more sensational public opinion? It is because when the media is already praising them and their opponents are unhappy with them, they can continue to win.

On the Grizzlies side, Sun Ce knew that tonight's game would be difficult to play, especially under such public opinion, the opponent would definitely not let them win easily, and no one wanted to be a stepping stone.

Tonight is the last game before the Spurs' All-Star Weekend, and Sun Ce thinks the Spurs will definitely go all out.

But there is an advantage tonight! Someone on the other side can't play!

When entering the court, Sun Ce's first glance was to see if Ginobili would play today. Seeing Ginobili wearing a suit, he knew that Ginobili couldn't play tonight.

Although the Spurs' record is still very good this year, they don't have the momentum of sweeping everything last season. The main reason is that Ginobili is constantly injured. His health condition cannot be compared with Parker and Duncan. This is the key to hindering him from entering the All-Star Game. He has only entered the All-Star Game twice in his career because his attendance rate is less than 80% all year round.

The biggest impact of the shortened season on the troika is Ginobili. Duncan has played half of this season and has only rested for 4 games, Parker has only rested for two games, and Ginobili has missed 14 games in half a season due to injuries.

In addition to Ginobili not being able to play tonight, Patrick Mills will also be out for at least a month due to a shoulder injury.

Currently, the only reliable substitute for the opponent's backcourt is George Hill.

At 6:58 in the evening, the pre-match preparations were over and the players of both teams took the court.

Sun Ce and Nash, Paul George, Randolph, and Gasol Jr. took the court.

The Spurs sent out Parker, Danny Green, Gay, Duncan, and Split.

Sun Ce came to the center circle and looked at Ginobili in a suit on the opposite bench. Sun Ce felt that the chances of winning were a little greater.

Split played. Sun Ce has been paying more attention to transactions recently. There have been frequent transactions recently, all of which are small transactions. Whether the Spurs' center position can be strengthened is one of Sun Ce's concerns, but there is no news about the Spurs' transactions. Now seeing that the opponent has promoted Split, Sun Ce knows that **Vic finally chose to train Split.

**Vic had no choice. Although Split's defensive awareness needs to be improved and his weight of 104 kg cannot withstand those powerful inside players, his height of 211 cm, excellent footwork, and defensive talent that can be further improved are already the best inside players he can show, at least better than Blair.

After Duncan applied the magnesium powder, he came to the center circle, nodded slightly, and looked at Sun Ce... Sun Ce decisively looked away. He didn't know how Barkley did it, and he could look at Duncan for 5 minutes.

Just the hairstyle was too much to look at. He thought of the nobles who lined up in front of Master Wang at the entrance of the village.

At 7 o'clock, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air...

Almost, Sun Ce was defeated by Duncan's height and wingspan. Duncan pushed the ball to the back and the Spurs attacked first.

Gay gave up the right to play singles at the beginning and started running directly. The Spurs launched a team attack from the beginning. Parker found an opportunity and used Duncan's pick-and-roll to break into the inside line and cooperated with Split. Split scored two points.

Sun Ce took it back but failed to block it, so he could only pick up the ball and pass it to Nash.

Parker is amazing this season. When Sun Ce was studying the Spurs yesterday, he found that Parker can help the team score 122 points per 100 possessions this season, ranking third in the league.

The first is Nash, and the second is Durant. One of them is a run-and-gun player, and the other is the current scoring champion. Even James, who has played so explosively after entering his peak this season, can only help the team score 118 points per 100 rounds.

Sun Ce himself is also okay, helping the team score 112 points per 100 rounds.

Nash pushed forward to the frontcourt and began to deal with the Spurs' defense according to his style of play.

The Spurs' defense has been adjusted. Split played, and the defense is much better than Blair, but Blair's defense is almost non-existent. If Split's defense in his peak period is considered excellent, 80 points out of 100 points, now it will just reach the passing line of 60 points.

The Spurs have made adjustments, and Nash is also prepared. He helped Sun Ce create a cut-in opportunity at the beginning. Sun Ce received the ball at the basket, pushed away Split's defense, and relied on the bonus of the overlord dunk to smash the ball into the basket with one hand.

Duncan is now playing as a power forward, and he defends the mid-range shots pretty well, but the center under the basket is still too weak. After just one round, he found that he couldn't leave the back to Split with peace of mind.

Split is still useful against weak teams, but the Grizzlies have Nash + Sun Ce on the outside and Randolph + Gasol on the inside, so Split is really not enough.

When Duncan returned his attention to the basket, Sun Ce and Nash began to show their power.

Sun Ce continued his touch from the previous game, and he had a hot touch in the first quarter, making two mid-range shots in the first half of the first quarter!

After resting for two games, Nash's shooting feeling also returned. He got 4 assists in the first half of the first quarter, which was already crazy. What's more explosive is that he also made a three-pointer from Randolph's singles, and once after a pick-and-roll, he rode his body sideways and shot an arrow to avoid Duncan's defense.

Sun Ce scored 6 points in the first half of the quarter, Nash scored 5 points and 4 assists in the first half of the quarter, plus Paul George's counterattack dunk, Randolph's singles and a tip-in, the Grizzlies scored 17 points in the first 6 minutes and 30 seconds!

The Spurs only scored 13 points!

Danny Green's two open three-pointers missed the Spurs' offense, causing Sun Ce to let Danny Green go to defend Gay. Anyway, he couldn't defend Parker's pick-and-roll alone, so he let Nash be passed by, and Nash and the inside line would defend Parker. If Duncan hadn't scored the highest 7 points in the first half of the quarter, the Spurs would have been almost widened by the Grizzlies.

Tonight, Duncan fought hard to win the C position!

After the official timeout, Sun Ce and Nash continued to play, and the frontcourt trio was replaced by Klay Thompson, Randolph, and Jordan.

On the Spurs side, Duncan wanted to play for the center position, but his physical strength could not support him to stay on the court. He had a strict playing time limit. The lineup of Parker, George Hill, Gay, Richard Jefferson and Blair was on the court.

At this stage, **Vic wanted to attack and sent George Hill and Richard Jefferson, two players who shot three-pointers very accurately this season.

Richard Jefferson played as a power forward this season and really found his position at this stage of his career. Although his overall shooting percentage was only 40%, which was much lower than the 47% shooting percentage as a small forward last season, his three-point shooting percentage was 42%, and he averaged two three-pointers per game, which was the best performance of his career.

A shooter has to make a shot to be threatening. Richard Jefferson missed the ball when he first caught the ball, but he felt good. He was just a little anxious. After the pick-and-roll for Parker, Randolph was taken away by Parker. He was anxious to shoot before Sun Ce switched to defense, but he didn't make it, but he felt good about the shot. He felt that he would definitely make it next time.

But before he could get in, Sun Ce made a three-pointer...
