Sun Ce looked at Conley who received the ball in surprise, but unfortunately he didn't expect Battier to win the jump ball, otherwise he could have started a fast attack, and unfortunately ran towards the front court from the middle line position, and Conley advanced with the ball.

After Sun Ce ran to the front court, he felt the strength of the opponent's defense, and his position was better than the last time he played each other, and getting a defensive veteran center like Perkins was not only an extra meat shield to carry Howard and Bynum, but his experience was more important, compared to when Perkins first joined the Thunder team, the Thunder's overall defensive aspect was intuitively improved, which was shown in the defensive position.

When Sun Ce ran to the low post on the right side with Sefrosa, Sefrosa went around in front of Sun Ce, and instead of sticking to Sun Ce, he and Perkins took a step on both sides of the three-second zone, leaving a passing gap in the middle, but it was in the space that could block Sun Ce's layup after receiving the ball, and at the same time expand the small Gasol who could prevent the ball from catching, and Ibaka still had a chance to help defend......

Fans who know tactics can see at a glance that this is the Celtics' interior defense!

Conley didn't go straight to the middle, it was a conspiracy, he gestured to Sun Ce, and then passed the ball to Gasol Jr., who was pulled to the right middistance, Conley ran to the left baseline and made a cut to threaten to avoid Ibaka taking advantage of the passing of players on their side to help the defense.

Gasol Jr. didn't shoot after receiving the ball, nor did he cut inside, but lifted it.

At this time, Sun Ce ran out of the basket according to Conley's instructions, and when he passed next to Gasol Jr., Gasol Jr. put the ball behind his head, and pulled a step sideways to block Sefrosa who caught up......

This ball was blocked beautifully by Gasol, Sun Ce adjusted very comfortably, and hit the mid-range shot!

When retreating, Sun Ce high-fived Gasol Jr. and Conley in celebration, and the small-scale cooperation they had discussed before won the first battle.

During the All-Star Weekend, in addition to dancing and business activities, Sun Ce was not idle, and in the evening, he chatted with Conley and Gasol Jr. several times about the team's starting lineup offensive problems and discussed solutions.

It is true that the Grizzlies' starting lineup offense is too single, Randolph plays low back, Randolph low post face frame, Randolph bottom line face frame, and then Sun Ce plays high back on the right side and low back on the right side...... Then it was gone, and most of the time the others were catching the ball and shooting directly, and Conley's breakaways were occasionally effective, but not conventional.

During the All-Star Weekend, the three of them have been discussing, communicating with each other in the small-scale cooperation methods they thought of during this time, and really came up with a few tactics, among which when the whole team studied and discussed the Spurs together, analyzed the offensive aspect of the Spurs, and also gave a certain hint to the trio cooperation, but the three of them rarely played together in a few games after playing the Spurs, and it was useless to run out of iron tactics in the last game against the Pacers, and it finally worked today.

Randolph's baseline mid-range catch-and-shoot is very accurate, even when his previous overweight shot was affected, the baseline mid-range shot is okay, and Battier in the bottom right corner is also strong, creating opportunities for the trio to cooperate in a small area.

I tried it and it worked great!

Of course, this style of play depends a lot on the player's shooting ability, the end point, first of all, there must be an offensive threat under the basket, and there can also be a mid-range shot, it is really not easy to find a player like this, but the original intention of the three of them when they studied this cooperation was to create an easy shooting opportunity for Sun Ce, so there was no problem at all, the focus was whether it could be thrown.

Offense and defense switched, and the Thunder attacked.

The Thunder's defense is very targeted, and the Grizzlies' defense has become more targeted, after all, the two teams have met for the fourth time, and at this stage of the regular season, the two teams have accumulated enough experience against each other, and it is time to try the playoff style of play, and the first thing to sacrifice is defense.

However, on the Thunder team's side, it was originally defense-oriented, and the offensive end was ...... Purely by the players themselves, their head coach's offensive arrangement can hardly be played on the court, fans jokingly call the Thunder head coach on the offensive end is an ideal head coach, once the TV exposed the recording of the Thunder team's tactics, the Thunder head coach Brooks arranged the tactics purely according to the tactical idea, and no matter what the opponent's defense is, he arranged a tactic that could not be prevented if he played an ideal, Then on the court, Westbrook served the ball directly to Durant and asked Durant to throw it against the defense......

At the beginning of the game, Westbrook did not follow the tactics, his ball quotient is not low, before he officially entered the sewers, he is still a player who averages 8+ assists per game, although there is no "organizational ability", most of the assists rely on breakthrough points, but it also proves that his ability to read defense is very good.

Westbrook saw Sun Ce take a big step back, form a joint defensive position with Gasol Jr. and Conley, and defend him, Perkins, and Sefrosa at close range while also forming a supplementary defense opportunity for Durant and Ibaka, Westbrook pulled up and shot directly outside the three-point line!

Blind cats can touch dead mice, and Westbrook's zombie jumper has almost no arc, smashing the frame and hitting!

Seeing the Thunder team's rapid retreat, Sun Ce received the ball from Gasol Jr. and slowly advanced, defensive teams are usually very targeted in defense, but they are also afraid of that unreasonable type, just like the Spurs were pressed by Kobe Bryant.

Fortunately, Westbrook did not show consistency in shooting, and Westbrook scored one in the opening game, and the Grizzlies were not affected.

After Sun Ce advanced to the front court, he was immediately stuck by Sai Rossa.

It is difficult for Sun Ce to break through Severosa in the outside singles, and since the middle of the season, Sun Ce and Gasol Jr.'s blocking and dismantling have also become less, because the opponents know that Gasol Jr.'s shooting is extremely unstable, and losing weight has a great impact on Gasol Jr.'s shooting feelings.

Sun Ce passed the ball to Conley, who ran out with Westbrook, and ran into the low post.

Randolph pulled up to the middle distance of the baseline and took Ibaka out, Sun Ce once again attracted Perkins and Sefrosa under the basket to the joint defense, the Thunder did not change their defensive strategy because of Sun Ce's last tactical run, catch and shoot, and they can also see that the Grizzlies' tactic is to test whether Sun Ce's mid-range shooting can maintain stability, they are betting, betting on Sun Ce's mid-range shooting in the case of blocking Sun Ce's baseline and free throw line hooks.

Defensive tactics, that's it, blocking the strong side, the weak side.

Conley passed the ball to Gasol Jr., who was pulled to the right side of the free throw line, and then ran to the left bottom corner again, Sun Ce pulled out from the right low post, Sefrosa ran out with Sun Ce to prevent Sun Ce from running back to the bottom line, Perkins blocked the direction of the free throw line, defending Sun Ce to run the free throw line, Sun Ce borrowed Gasol Jr.'s pass to block and dismantle, and shot two points long on the right side of the three-second zone......

Again!

Sun Ce feels very good today!

In fact, in the first few games, Sun Ce shot very well, he could shoot, but his teammates shot too badly, he didn't have a good shooting opportunity, most of them were shot against the defense, and sometimes the pinch shot came up and he had to shoot, no way if he didn't shoot, but he could still score a few points in each game, which proved that his hand was not bad.

Offense and defense switch, Thunder offense, Westbrook is also here!

The Grizzlies' defense was unchanged as Westbrook stepped into the three-point line and made a long, two-point jumper from the front of the basket......

Also in!

Westbrook started the game with 5 points in a row! The Thunder are 5-4 leading by 1 point again!

Hit in a row!

Sun Ce communicated with a few teammates and felt that he had to change his defensive strategy.

You can't let Westbrook keep throwing like this!

Switching offense and defense, Sun Ce pushed the ball to the front court and continued to give it to Conley, and wanted to complete the three-man cooperation again.

But this time the Thunder team made defensive changes first, when Sun Ce ran out of the low post, Perkins and Sefrosa both chased after Sun Ce, Sefrosa came out from the right side, Perkins came out of the middle and went around from the left side of Gasol Jr., who was facing the basket, to block Sun Ce's catch and shoot.

Gasol Jr. had a good sense of awareness, saw the other two pressing out, holding the ball and waiting for Sun Ce to bypass the block and run to the free throw line before passing out, Sun Ce found that the other two followed out with the help of the block, and immediately ran towards the free throw line with all his might, Perkins couldn't keep up!

Sun Ce received a pass from Gasol Jr. at the free throw line, and at this time Ibaka came to make up for it!

Sun Ce and Gasol Jr. attracted a three-man defense, Randolph was empty, and took the initiative to cut inside, Sun Ce received the ball and quickly threw it to the basket, Randolph put the ball a little in the air, and hit the basket in the air!

This offense shows the tacit understanding of the Grizzlies' team, they have always been not lacking in tacit understanding, but most of the time the starting lineup except for Randolph, no one can open the situation, Sun Ce's offense has strong points, but most of the time it is decent, and he has to rely on his teammates to open the situation first, so he usually has very little cooperation.

Randolph's singles tonight are not very favorable, if he singles, Ibaka and Perkins will be under the basket, Randolph has no good space, so the Grizzlies are ready to grind the defense to the death, and then consider offense in the rotation stage.

But when Sun Ce opened this point, the cooperation came out all of a sudden.

The main reason is that Conley, Sun Ce, and Gasol Jr.'s new partnership made their debut, and the Thunder team did not have a good coping strategy.

When it came to the Thunder's offense, Sun Ce and Conley switched defenses, Sun Ce went to defend against Sefrossa, who had no offensive ability, and Conley defended Westbrook very tightly to avoid Westbrook, who had already shot his hand, to shoot the basketball, although the bounce height Conley was worthy of Westbrook, but the difference in speed was too far.

Westbrook decisively chose to break through, Conley really couldn't stop it!

Sun Ce hurriedly made up for the defense from the left side of the three-second zone, at this time Sefrosala went out to help Durant block Battier, Westbrook's first goal was to find Durant, pass to the top arc, Durant received the ball in one step inside the top arc and immediately shot two points...... Also in!

The defensive strains of both teams failed to have a good effect!

The Thunder felt that it was better to pitch to Sun Ce, which was better than Randolph's empty cut inside.

The Grizzlies felt that it was better to shoot Westbrook, and Durant was better at shooting than Westbrook with his eyes closed.

So, when the Grizzlies attacked, Sun Ce found that the Thunder team did not attack him and Gasol Jr. again.

"Huh"

Sun Ce hit his third shot in a row!

Sun Ce has the feeling of shooting in training!

Looking back, the Thunder attacked, and the Grizzlies also resumed their regular defense, unable to give Durant a chance to shoot, no matter who Durant blocked and dismantled without the ball, the Grizzlies would pinch Durant first, and at the same time put Westbrook's mid-range shot.

Westbrook was also very strong, and he shot again with two points inside the three-point line on the right side of the top arc...... Also enter!

Sun Ce and Westbrook are soaring!

Time Warner's commentator, the first best coach in Grizzlies team history, Huby Brown, was speechless, he analyzed the defense of the two for a long time, and blew the defense of the two people unwanted, in addition, he is also analyzing the probability of Sun Ce and Westbrook getting a triple-double, and analyzing that under the defense of the two teams, Westbrook, who has the ability to catch the pot and Durant as a teammate, has a higher probability of getting a triple-double, and he speculates that the two teams will have a lot of rebounds today, just like the Grizzlies played the Pacers in the last game, the Grizzlies have 59 rebounds on the team, The Pacers had 51 rebounds on a team.

However, after the start of the game, it was not at all the same as Hubby Brown's analysis!

Sun Ce and Westbrook are right against Biao, but they are actually shooting at Biao!

Sun Ce's continuous hits are good to say, Sun Ce's number of hits in three aspects this season, such as running hooks, baseline mid-range hooks, and right-side mid-range jumpers, is already a very good mid-range scorer in the eyes of fans and media, and this is Sun Ce's main scoring means.

But Westbrook actually followed suit.

Who could have predicted this?

But as a strong defensive team, both teams do not dare to continue to try easily after trying a failed defensive change, and would rather bet on the opponent's point guard to shoot inaccurately, rather than give the opponent's first scorer a good shooting opportunity, Randolph and Durant will have a headache if they open up.

As a result, Sun Ce and Westbrook, who are the second leaders, went crazy!

In the sixth minute of the first quarter, the Thunder immediately called a timeout.

At 16-17, the Thunder trailed by one point.

Although it is only 1 point behind, as long as there is no advantage, Thunder head coach Brooks has a big head.

The Grizzlies are a pretty grinding team, and Westbrook, Durant, and Ibaka were all on the court at the same time and couldn't play an advantage, which was a bad situation for the Thunder.

Especially Sun Ce......

It's 12 minutes in the first half of the quarter!
