20-16, with Sun Ce's three-point shot, the Grizzlies' lead extended to 4 points!

With this lineup, the Grizzlies have a clear offensive advantage.

In terms of coordination, all five members of the Grizzlies roster can participate in tactical coordination, and Richard Jefferson and Yi Jianlian can pass the ball.

On the Warriors' side, most of them are three-person cooperation, and at most Tabit joins in the cooperation.

The Warriors called a timeout and went into the official timeout.

Mark Jackson began to make substitutions, sending Harden to play point guard, and a combination of Jordan Crawford, Iguodala, Harris Barnes, and O'Neal Jr. came on.

On the Grizzlies' side, Sun Ce and Klay Thompson continued to play, and Livingston, Hardaway Jr., and Gasol Jr. played the supporting lineup.

Sun Ce continued to play, and the game against the Clippers was a transition, and tonight it really started to rotate based on his Sun, Klay Thompson, and Paul George.

In the first 6 minutes and 37 seconds, Sun Ce got 9 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, and made two three-pointers, plus Klay Thompson, who got 3 points and 1 assist, the two of them made a total of 3 three-pointers, one more than the three points scored by Curry.

After Coach Hollins emphasized a one-four-four-on-three-point defense, Sun Ce returned to the court and was surprised to find Curry down.

The other party also changed to four outside lines!

However, Sun Ce wondered, last year, the Warriors would send a five-small lineup, how could they insist on having a big center this season?

In fact, the reason is very simple, Mark Jackson did not insist on having a big center last season, because last season there were only two interior lines of more than 210 cm in Tabit and Azerli, and Azeri has poor ability, playing 10 minutes in a game, which is not as strong as Draymond Green.

This season, with O'Neal Jr., of course, O'Neal Jr. should be used more, and O'Neal Jr. played very well, opening 12 games, playing an average of 23 minutes per game, getting 8 points, 6 rebounds and 1.5 blocks.

……

The timeout ends and the game continues.

There may have been times when Mark Jackson made a more rigid substitution and there were problems in a lot of games, but persistence often worked.

For example, now that Gasol Jr., who has a tonnage of more than 130 kilograms, is on the field, if Draymond Green is used to play center, Sun Ce and Livingston will definitely take advantage of the fact that Hardaway Jr. and Klay Thompson are both big and three, and let Gasol Jr. sit and beat Draymond Green to death.

O'Neal Jr. is different, this is a high-quality defensive player with a strong low post defense, who has averaged 2+ blocks per game for 9 consecutive seasons, and although he is older, his low post defense is still excellent.

The two teams enter the offensive and defensive mode of positional warfare.

With Iguodala, Harden is more responsible for scoring singles in the positional battle, and the defense is also good, facing Livingston, who is 5 centimeters taller than him, Harden defends well, has a strong defense, and has a good shooting interference effect.

According to Sun Ce's personal feeling, if Harden goes to Houston to play like in the original time and space, his strength will definitely get stronger and stronger, such as three-point, step-back, sudden basket, and foul making are getting stronger and stronger.

But the Thunder's all-round skills developed because they want to buy playing time are constantly declining.

But with the Warriors, instead of playing the ball, the team needs his versatility, needs his defense, has Curry to help him take the scoring pressure off him, and brings back Iguodala and drafts Barnes to help him reduce the pressure on the opponent's strongest players and reduce the pressure on the offense.

Harden's all-round offensive skills, which he has honed in the Thunder for three years, have become more and more comprehensive in the Warriors, and he is constantly improving in all aspects!

Due to the lineups on both sides, playing and fighting, the second half of the first quarter became Sun Ce and Harden against Biao!

Sun Ce, on his side, mainly uses his size advantage to find simple scoring opportunities; There is no easy chance to score, just play with the flower and play it by surprise.

On Harden's side, Iguodala commanded his teammates and helped him create good singles opportunities to single Klay Thompson, and Iguodala directed his teammates' positions and movements, reducing the danger of Harden being defended by Sun Ce, so that Harden could have better passing opportunities when he encountered pinching.

I didn't feel much in the last game, but in this game, Sun Ce deeply felt the role of Iguodala.

It's hard to show how much Iguodala has helped the Warriors, both in terms of experience and ability to lead teammates, Iguodala can't match the current Curry and Harden.

Gasol Jr.'s tandem, Livingston's awareness, Sun Ce's singles split-shot, paired with Klay Thompson and Hardaway Jr.'s two pitchers.

From the perspective of the lineup, the Grizzlies' side is better than the Warriors' side, but Iguodala helped the Warriors bite the score!

Judging from the data, Iguodala is really not remarkable at all, and he averages 9+4+4 per game as the Pacers' backup small forward Evan Turner.

But Iguodala's role is not reflected in the data, and the restrictions on Sun Ce and the help for the offense are greatly improved!

At the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies led 34-31, and during the time Curry went down to rest, the Grizzlies' lead was narrowed by 1 point!

……

Entering the interjunctive break, because there was no physical medicine available, and there was no star experience card with three points better than him, Sun Ce listened to the arrangement and was replaced.

Later in the first quarter, Sun Ce and Klay Thompson each hit another three-pointer.

Now he made three three-pointers and scored 14 points in the first quarter, and Klay Thompson scored six points, all three-pointers.

At present, the two of them are leading Curry 5-2, and the big score is also ahead, Sun Ce sat on the bench with a little peace of mind, watching the lineup of Livingston, Tony Allen, Paul George, Larry Sanders, and Gasol Jr. go up to grind the defense.

4 to 1, this is really to grind defense.

This is based on the fact that Curry is definitely going to play on the Warriors' side, and the pure defensive lineup sent out wants to use this to consume Curry's touch and prevent the Warriors from continuing to play the first half of the first quarter.

Although the Warriors "only" scored 16 points in the first half of the first quarter, the cooperation was really good, and the grizzlies' irascible run-and-gun lineup couldn't play for long, and it was impossible to keep pressing the Warriors.

After the timeout, Sun Ce looked at the opposite lineup, as predicted by Coach Hollins, Curry, David Lee, and Tabit were on the trio, with Draymond Green and Bazemore.

This lineup, Sun Ce really can't understand why he let Draymond Green, David Lee, and Tabit play together.

Just to ensure playing time for David Lee and Tabit?

It's important for the players to make sure they're playing time, it's important for the players to have stats and mentality, but sometimes it's just a matter of making decisions.

However, Sun Ce was not given the opportunity to continue to speculate on the thoughts of the opponent's head coach, and after the start of the second quarter of the game, Sun Ce couldn't help but spew out one sentence after another!
