1509. The Pelicans (1st Update)

Feeling even crazier is Anthony Davis.

This past offseason, he gained 15 pounds, about 6 kilograms, and currently weighs 106 kilograms, which is a little thinner, but at least stronger than Sun Ce, and he was originally the type of outbreak confrontation stronger than static confrontation.

Although he pushed Sun Ce to the basket just now, he didn't have the advantage of encountering Sun Ce's change of defense when he didn't gain weight last season!

In other words, on the basis of maintaining his mobility and flexibility, Sun Ce's strength has increased more than that of Anthony Davis this past summer!

It's unreasonable!

If you don't think about this, Anthony Davis can't care about other people's getting stronger.

Anthony Davis attaches great importance to Sun Ce's super defensive tandem ability after having a good defensive combination on the inside, as well as the improvement of Sun Ce's defensive role!

With the interior combination of Larry Sanders and Randolph with clear defensive coordination and stability, Sun Ce's defensive effect has been significantly enhanced!

The Pelicans continued to attack with little time left, and Irving received Aminu's serve and handed the ball to Eric Gordon for a single.

That's what Roundface Doden does, and he's got an accurate shot like Kings Hall of Fame superstar Mitch Richmond, and a strong heart that dares to take responsibility, and in the final seven seconds, Eric Gordon stepped back to hit a long two-point shot in the face of Klay Thompson's defense.

The division of labor is clear, the overall strength is excellent, the execution is strong, and the confidence is full......

The first time the Pelicans attacked, Sun Ce felt the obvious changes of the opponent compared to the preseason and last season!

Young teams are like that, when they get off to a good start, their confidence grows stronger and they play better and better, and Sun Ce, who has grown up with the Grizzlies, knows too well.

Both sides showed their own characteristics and strong aspects from the start, and as the game progressed, the two teams played anxiously.

On the Pelicans' side, the explosiveness of the young team's momentum is immeasurable, and their five starters, the oldest Lopets Jr. and Eric Gordon, are all players in 2008 and are only in their sixth season.

The Grizzlies are also young, but more or less different, they are quite "mature" and have a fixed routine in terms of coordination.

There is no good or bad between the two, one side is difficult to understand, and the other side has stable strength.

Both teams had a good success rate in every offensive round, but the tempo was very slow, as both sides often disrupted the opponent's attack, forcing the opponent to suffer a setback in the first full tactical fit-together, and then play the last few seconds of fast attack.

On the Grizzlies' side, after Larry Sanders came back, this faster, better defensive lineup had a great limit on the opponent's offense, and the Pelicans had strong momentum, dared to pass, and dared to pass the ball that was not very good but passed in place was a great shooting opportunity, and the Grizzlies seized the opportunity to destroy the opponent's pass.

The Pelicans, on the other hand, rely on the momentum of young players, especially the defense of the frontcourt trio of Aminu, Anthony Davis, and Lopets Jr., whose enthusiasm, athleticism, and defensive ability are difficult to find in the entire NBA.

At 6:44 of the first quarter, instead of taking the lead, the Grizzlies trailed by two points at 11-13, and Coach Hollins called a timeout after his own offense was knocked out of bounds by Irving!

Hard!

Coach Hollins felt the feeling of other teams meeting their Grizzlies in the early years, and the pressure was felt by the other's barefoot drive and fearless desire to win.

If you look at the offensive round, their side is not bad, the goal rate of the offensive round is 44%, but, close to 7 minutes, they only played 9 offensive rounds, the 10th offensive round was just destroyed by the opponent, and the attacking time is only 9 seconds left.

In 9 offensive rounds, 4-of-12 shooting, a 33 percent shooting percentage, which is really not good.

Especially in the second offensive success rate of offensive rebounding, Sun Ce had 1 offensive rebound and Randolph had two offensive rebounds, only Randolph had 1 conversion to score, and the other two did not score.

Sun Ce got 4 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block, this time the block was not given to Irving or Anthony Davis, these two deliberately avoided him, and both of them passed the ball well, which can be done very well, Sun Ce's block is given to Aminu who cut in.

……

After the pause, personnel adjustments were made on both sides.

Kidd wanted to continue to play a brisk offense, but there was no way, Lopez Jr. was not the kind of player with particularly good physical strength, so he could only replace the slow power forward Ryan Anderson and play positional battles.

He fielded a combination of Irving, Anthony Morrow, Luke Babbitt, Ryan Anderson, Anthony Davis.

The Grizzlies sent a big four lineup of Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Livingston, Klay Thompson, and Gasol Jr.

Sun Ce looked at the three-point ability of the opposite lineup, it was an explosion!

Irving, Anthony Morrow, Luke Babbitt, Ryan Anderson, these 4 people, averaged a total of 8.5 three-pointers per game in the first 6 games, of which Ryan Anderson averaged 3.5 three-pointers per game, ranking fourth in the league, second only to Curry and Sun Ce, and beating Kobe!

Sixty percent of Ryan Anderson's points have been three-point shooting.

Irving, the weakest three-point player among the four, is all A-level three-pointers, averaging 1.83 three-pointers per game in the first six games, and the shooting rate is 39 percent!

The Pelicans have such a terrible three-pointer, Sun Ce doesn't believe they have the ability to continue, but at the moment, the opponent is in the best condition! Rushing all the way to second place in the West is a real win!

In the second half of the first quarter, the Pelicans started a style of play similar to that of the Magic team back then, and they were full of stars.

The details are different, Anthony Davis likes to play blocking and dismantling, and the offensive rebounding ball is also a rush after blocking and dismantling, and Irving has fewer single breakthroughs in the face of Sun Ce, and more uses blocking and dismantling to attract defense and share the ball.

With Gasol Jr., Anthony Davis didn't have as many offensive rebounds as in the first half of the quarter, but the Pelicans shot accurately from the outside!

Fortunately, the Grizzlies' offense is also good, and Gasol Jr. has become the key to the Grizzlies to open the situation, he is a pillar on the inside, with both high jump shots and balls.

Since the Pelicans have Ryan Anderson, the speed can't be improved, and 4 to 4 against the Grizzlies with Sun Ce, Tony Allen, and Klay Thompson is not a good idea, after all, Irving is not particularly good at advancing counterattacks.

But the Grizzlies scored more than two points, while the Pelicans scored mainly three-pointers!
