The three-threat style of play is very good at showing the basic skills of a player, and it can be seen from this that Anthony's basic skills are very solid.

Offense and defense transitioned, and the Grizzlies attacked.

Although I can see the tendency of the opponent's defense, it is not easy to take advantage of it.

Sun Ce's second-round offense obviously saw that the opponent's baseline defense was more active, so he chose a 30-degree angle for the second-round offense to make a stop-and-turn jumper, but the accuracy was obviously not as long as the baseline two-point hook.

Sun Ce has a 41 percent mid-range hook shooting rate on the right baseline this season, a 38 percent mid-distance running hook shooting rate in the direction of the free throw line, and a 35 percent shooting rate on the right side of the entire three-second zone.

The Rockets' data analysis capabilities are unique in the league, and after his first offensive baseline hook shot, the opponent was already tightly defended against his hook at the free throw line, and now the baseline is more aggressive.

Apparently the Rockets wanted him to shoot in areas that he was relatively bad at, and they wanted him to shoot more, and they wanted to block the other players in their team's positional offense, which was not particularly good.

Moreover, it still makes sense that Huainan is orange and Huaibei is orange, Anthony is okay in the Nuggets' defense, at least he doesn't lag behind, although because of weight gain, the defense has changed from close to first-class defensive efficiency in the first and second years to the average level of last season, at least it will not have a side effect, but in the original time and space, after he was traded to the Knicks, the defense became more and more slack.

The Knicks are in such a big environment, and going there is only getting worse and worse.

But after the Rockets played for more than half a season, Anthony actually stabilized the B-level defense, a good level, not good, but certainly not bad, the team atmosphere is very important, when the Rockets have Yao Ming, a perennial defensive team.

There is a set of data that is terrible, the Rockets have Yao Ming's era, they have not conceded more than 95 points per game in any season, and there are 6 seasons that limit opponents to no more than 92 points, and it was only after the Mavericks that Yao Ming conceded more than 95 points per game for the first time, but it also allowed the Mavericks to increase from 99.3 points per game last season to only 96.5 points per game.

In addition to commercial value, Yao Ming's legacy to the Rockets is defensive discipline.

Anthony is not without defensive talent, and when he arrived at the Rockets, his defense did not continue to decline, especially when he met Sun Ce today, his enthusiasm was higher than usual!

After a few rounds, Sun Ce became the main point of attack of the Grizzlies, this time not actively, but a passive adjustment made according to the opponent's defense.

Fortunately, Sun Ce does not hesitate when encountering this situation like most young point guards, he is not afraid, he can't wait to shoot more in the middle distance, absorb more experience, and defend well anyway.

After playing more than 6 minutes in the opening game and playing 11 rounds, Sun Ce made 3 of 7 shots, and once took the opportunity to accelerate and change direction in the middle of the march and burst into the interior to cause a foul, he hit both free throws, and got 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 block in the opening game.

The Rockets' defense was really good, and the Grizzlies didn't play a fast break at the beginning.

However, on the other hand, Sun Ce's rebounding efficiency is high, which means that the Rockets' shooting is not so accurate.

After Anthony scored two in a row in the opening game, the Grizzlies defended Anthony more strictly, of course, they couldn't prevent it, Anthony started with 4 of 9 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers and 3 of 4 free throws, scoring 12 points alone, plus 3 offensive rebounds, helping the Rockets lead the Grizzlies by 3 points at 14-11 into a timeout.

In fact, except for Anthony's two consecutive offensive goals in the opening game, the Rockets played very average in the next nine rounds, and only scored three goals in the last nine rounds, that is, only one-third of the offensive success rate, and the Grizzlies did a very good job defensively.

Going into the official timeout, the two teams began to make substitutions.

On the Rockets' side, Dragic was substituted.

Dragic doesn't know whether to be sad or happy, in the Suns, at this point in time, the score is anxious, it is difficult for him to have playing time, and now he feels that the Suns are really perfunctory from the beginning, when they talked about the rookie contract, they told him that he would be Nash's successor in the future, and they just wanted to fool him into playing well on the bench.

Now that it's the Rockets, the Rockets really see him as Billups' successor, and Billups played for a few minutes, and Adelman replaced Billups with him.

The Rockets fielded a lineup of Dragic, JR Smith, Bardinger, Anthony, Brad Miller.

On the Grizzlies' side, except for Sun Ce, the other four were replaced.

Paul George, Moreau, Yi Jianlian, and Jordan Jr. were replaced and partnered with Sun Ce.

Coach Hollins laid out the tactic of starting speed!

In the first half, their offense played poorly, mainly because the space could not be opened, and the best space containment ability in the starting lineup was actually the oldest Battier, so this time instead of Tony Allen, he was replaced with the forward combination with the best shooting ability.

Grinding defense with the opponent to play the star heads-up, they really can't beat, Randolph and Al Jefferson limit each other in the low post, although Randolph's strength is stronger, but if El Jefferson is simply just to consume Randolph, the two really cancel it out.

Randolph couldn't play and had to compete with a positional offensive master like Anthony, Coach Hollins felt that Sun Ce had no tendency to break out today, and although he used his teammates to threaten to play steadily, there was obviously a qualitative gap with Anthony.

As the game deepens, the ball is more and more concentrated on the main shooting points of the two teams, and the gap between the two teams will become more and more obvious, that is, continue to grind defense, and the Rockets' advantage will become bigger and bigger.

Team Rocket is not like the Magic, the Magic team just grinds with them, they don't have a superstar who can solve the problem.

But Anthony of the Rockets is one of the six best scorers in the league today, and probably the strongest individual scorer in positional battles.

For this situation, Coach Hollins and David Fitzdale discussed it and was ready to change the style of play and not let the team get into a quagmire.

Among Paul George, Moreau, and Yi Jianlian, the most stable one is not Morrow, who follows Sun Ce and occasionally fights waves; Paul George rookie can only expect him to cut on the defensive end and on the counter-attack, and shoot with agility; Usually the most stable is Yi Jianlian, he and Sun Ce have a good tacit understanding and a good ball quotient, the key is that he and Little Jordan rushed together, two 110-kilogram seven-foot tall athletic big men look scary, this trio with Little Jordan is the most suitable partner Sun Ce to speed up.

But seeing Yi Jianlian's unruly appearance, why did Coach Hollins have the urge to press him on the bench?

The team can play the inside line, not counting Battier, there are only four, but the most calm and low-key guy among them has now become the most sassy!

……

Looking at the players on the court, Rockets coach Adelman had mixed feelings.

Adelman felt like the sky was about to fall when Yao Ming left, but he didn't expect the next discovery, in the words of Director Zhang: "Hey, good guys, the mountain is empty, and the management is starting to work hard." ”

Although the current core combination of the Rockets is not as good as the Kings Five Tigers of the year, after all, the Kings Five Tigers have Weber, a player who has been selected for a while, and Anthony has a second team if he stands up to the sky.

But the Kings rotation lineup is not as good as the Rockets!

actually traded Brooks for Dragic and got a first-round pick, Adelman didn't know whether to admire the current Morey or complain about the previous Morey.

Sun Ce was ready to play, and when he was making tactical arrangements, he learned about Coach Hollins' thinking, and looking at the lineup on the big screen, Anthony was sent to play power forward......

"Is this using Anthony as Weber? Brad Miller also seems to be a good fit for Princeton, and the big JR is Beebe? ”

In Sun Ce's view, Adelman is similar to D'Antoni, if there are no players who are suitable for him, his coaching ability can be described by two charismatic words - garbage, but there are people under his hands who can really play flowers.

Sun Ce tightened his strap and went on the field with his teammates.

Just when they first came on the stage, the scene remembered Yi Jianlian's song again......

Sun Ce whistled at Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian didn't want to deal with it and didn't even want to give it a white eye, so he went straight to the field.

Walking to the court, hearing the crazy cheers of the fans at the scene, Yi Jianlian's mood is more complicated than Adelman's, he also dreamed of becoming the darling of the fans, but he has not been able to achieve it, and in the past three years, he has been booed by the home team fans in the Bucks and Nets.

I didn't expect that now "dreams come true", let alone that I became popular in such a way.

The timeout came back, and the Rockets had the ball.

The Rockets now clearly have the initiative on the court, leading and possessing the ball, and are playing with confidence.

Dragic was traded by the Suns, just like Harden, who matured overnight and didn't want to compete with Sun Ce, he felt that it was good to be himself and wait for his teammates to run.

At the heart of Princeton, big men can shoot and play high posts, and big forwards need all-round skills, and everyone can pass and cut in...... And then create a misalignment!

Since Anthony mentioned the power forward position, the Rockets automatically had a misalignment, and sure enough, Anthony cut in after blocking and dismantling with Bardinger without the ball, and Paul George was pushed away by Anthony when he switched defenses!

Brad Miller, who has three-point ability, pinned Jordan Jr. in the top arc, and when Anthony's Paul George stepped on the edge of the three-second zone, Brad Miller's split was timely and accurate, and Brad Miller, who averaged 4.7 assists per game at his peak, showed excellent passing ability!

Anthony didn't need to adjust when he received the ball, and directly raised the ball to the basket......

Sun Ce was prepared for a long time, and after Dragic passed the ball to Brad Miller, Sun Ce kept an eye on Anthony's movements.

Send the hat and the little melon out of the mountain again!

"Smack"

Sun Ce rushed in and stretched out his left arm and slapped Anthony's throw to the rebound.

However, Anthony was mentally prepared, even if he didn't notice Sun Ce's contraction, he was mentally prepared, ready to grab his own cap's offensive rebound in any situation, when he saw the ball poked by Sun Ce, he immediately pushed it up with his back, and when Sun Ce fell, it landed on Anthony's back, and Anthony was stunned to grab the ball that bounced back from the rebound against Sun Ce!

Sun Ce's feet hadn't landed yet, and he didn't have time to jump a second time, so Anthony got up again and threw it easily.

Moreover, because Sun Ce pressed on Anthony's back, when Anthony shot, the referee's whistle sounded, and the goal was valid and a penalty had to be added!

It's too horizontal!

Compared with the first meeting of the new season, Anthony was stunned by Sun Ce's beast, this time Anthony was fully prepared, and Sun Ce was not as strong as that game, Anthony turned on the ravage mode!

Watching Wen Hou-An walk to the free throw line and hitting free throws, and then looking at a group of role players around Anthony, this is Lu Bu with "Eight Athletes"!

Offense and defense transitioned, and the Grizzlies attacked.

The opponent did not have Al Jefferson, no Kenyon Martin, and even Kendrick Patterson was not replaced, Sun Ce handed the ball to Paul George to advance, and sat directly in the low post after going to the frontcourt!

Isn't it just misplaced?

Who's afraid of whom! When there is no player who comes with a mismatch.

The slender Bardinger was pressed by Sun Ce, and Bardinger saw Sun Ce pressing himself sideways after receiving Paul George, good guy, his height, arm span and weight are at a disadvantage in all aspects, and he can't do it if he wants to block! The OS in his heart is: I'm a small forward!

Fortunately, Sun Ce missed the hook on his side, Badinger quickly turned around, and after pushing Sun Ce with his back, he jumped forward to grab the defensive rebound that was so high, and his bounce was no problem to grab this kind of ball.

Just when Battinger jumped up and was about to catch the falling ball, he was knocked away by a 110kg power forward!

As he flew out, Bardinger saw a red-haired monster viciously smash the ball into the basket!
