697. Strategy ...... Succeed! (3rd Update)
After the referee blew the whistle, he hurried up to check if Sun Ce had any problems, and Sun Ce rolled after he landed...... It's a little scary.
Stoudemire must have no malice in this "defense", it can be seen that Stoudemire is not ready to defend at all, people are jumping up to grab rebounds, who knows that a big central defender flying over the front directly deducted on his head, Stoudemire has already made a move to restrain his body, but after all, more than 110 kilograms of block, can't be contained!
The villain is definitely not a villain, but fortunately, Sun Ce also made a move to protect himself when he was overturned, except for the butt that landed first and the back hurt when he rolled, there was no problem.
Sun Ce fell to the floor and exhaled, slowed down his excitement, and stretched out his hand to the person next to him.
“……”
“……”
The players on the Grizzlies' side and the Knicks' Stoudemire were also relieved to see Sun Ce lift his upper body after panting, but saw Sun Ce's action......
The fans at the scene were excitedly cheering for Sun Ce, and some people were worried about Sun Ce, as basketball fans, most of them were not the Knicks team, but the fans of this arena, they saw that the home team of this stadium played well, of course they supported, but they had little loyalty to the team, and they were proud of the stadium they owned.
Seeing Sun Ce's actions, the fans were speechless......
The referee and Sun Ce glanced at each other, the referee didn't expect Sun Ce to stretch out his hand to him, Sun Ce was also embarrassed when he saw that the object of his hand was the referee, and both of them were stunned.
Sun Ce didn't notice who came to ask him if he was okay, and he rolled his head back and was very dizzy!
But now that the hand is outstretched, it seems a little rude to take it back?
The referee hesitated for a moment and grabbed Sun Ce's hand, and Sun Ce jumped up from the floor with his strength.
After glancing at each other again, the referee made a look of "I should help as a referee" to take the ball picked up by the assistant referee and prepare to serve.
Sun Ce just walked to the free throw line as if he was just borrowing someone else's help to stand up.
It was so harmonious that even the commentators of the Canadian TV station who had been attacking Sun Ce laughed.
After receiving the ball thrown by the referee, Sun Ce adjusted his breathing and put aside the external interference, although he temporarily had Olajuwon's free throw muscle memory, Sun Ce was still more accustomed to his free throw action, and hooked his hand sideways......
It deviated slightly, smashed on the right side of the basket, bumped upside down, and fell into the frame.
Perfect quad hit!
Sun Ce scored 4 goals in a row in the second half, and also added free throws to the shooting rate, scoring 9 points alone, helping the Grizzlies to play a wave of 9-4!
75-73, the Knicks' lead was only two points left, and D'Antoni called a timeout!
With the idea of "calling a timeout if you knew it earlier", D'Antoni began to adjust the lineup and set up tactics.
Before, Sun Ce and Stoudemire played their respective singles lively, and D'Antoni didn't react for a while, but now he reacted, and they were tricked!
Paul here in the nearly minute of the dead ball and free throws, after calming down and thinking, he finally understood the strategy of the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies took the initiative to give the Knicks an easy single chance!
The Grizzlies did not choose to use the whole team to press the defense to curb the speed of the opposite side, they have tried it in the first meeting at the beginning of the season, from the Knicks' past nine consecutive wins, the Grizzlies coaching staff is more sure that the pressure defense cannot limit the speed of the Knicks, but will cause the Knicks to shoot quickly and become more waves, if the Knicks have been in average form recently, they can also try this, but in the last dozen games, the Knicks have a three-point shooting rate of 41 percent......
No matter which serious interior line the Grizzlies send to, Stoudemire's individual offense will be more or less affected, and the strongest score in the opponent's positional battle is undoubtedly Stoudemire, originally Coach Hollins wanted Randolph to go to the low post, but no matter how half of Randolph's defensive ability is, it is also an inside line, and the tonnage is large and the movement ability is good, Stoudemire may choose to cooperate with his teammates and shoot easily, so that the speed of the Knicks cannot be completely reduced.
Yi Jianlian and Jordan Jr. will have a greater impact on Stoudemire, these two move speed, tonnage is not lost to Stoudemire, the key is that there is also a height advantage, if these three people are replaced, their Knicks are bound to play team offense, and the rhythm is easy to enter the rhythm of their team,
As Paul and D'Antoni thought, Coach Hollins and his coaching staff discussed the defensive approach of giving the opponent a chance to score relatively easily in positional battles, and then having a single point that could respond steadily in positional battles.
Originally, Coach Hollins really couldn't think of any good candidates, but at this time, Sun Ce stood up and took this position.
However, even though Coach Hollins had accepted Sun Ce's habitual outburst, he didn't expect Sun Ce to play his self-proclaimed "big central defender" and actually single-handedly beat Stoudemire to play a wave of 9-4!
It's a blast!
If it weren't for Sun Ce's thin and chirping appearance, Coach Hollins really wanted Sun Ce to change his position.
After predicting it, Coach Hollins felt that the opponent's style of play would not change much from the first half...... It's not a prediction, it's a well-known fact that D'Antoni has gone all the way to the dark in terms of tactics, and not much has changed on the field, especially since they have been in good form recently, and now they are definitely emphasizing team play.
Although it is unlikely that Sun Ce will play inside for a long time, a talented point guard who has a size advantage in the face of almost everyone on the guard line and does not suffer from speed makes him switch to playing inside...... Pat Riley saw it and had to jump out and curse, but today faced a static weak Stoudemire ...... Coach Hollins thinks he can keep surfing!
……
The Grizzlies didn't make any substitutions, playing just over two minutes in the third quarter, and as Coach Hollins expected, there were no Turyaf or Mozgov on the other side.
In the face of the Grizzlies' current five-small lineup, the Knicks dare not send big men, if the Grizzlies choose to run, their Knicks can't hold back the rhythm, and they are uncomfortable.
The Knicks will think like this, they will rotate like this, Coach Hollins predicted it!
The timeout ended, the game continued, the Knicks frontcourt ball, Paul blocked and Stoudemire in the high post, Sun Ce quickly switched defenses with Conley, when Stoudemire cut in, Battier who defended Sean Williams received it from the bottom line and blocked Stoudemire, Paul's vision was very good, in Battier Stoudemire had not fully cut in, Battier had just fully turned around with the help of Stoudemire's containment and passed the ball to the left bottom corner.
But the Grizzlies' defense is not vegetarian either, the rotation defense is extremely fast, and Tony Allen, who switches defenses with Sun Ce, has no ability to carry out at all, but the ability to read the offense is quite good, after Stoudemire used the burst acceleration to occupy the position advantage, Tony Allen gave up the defense of Stoudemire and defended towards Fields who ran to a 45-degree angle on the left, Sean Williams just received the ball, and Conley made up for it from Fields! Pounced on Sean Williams, who received the ball and was about to shoot straight away!
Paul wanted to quickly instigate the offense, and the Grizzlies, on their side, quickly opened an indiscriminate rotation + pinch attack + change of defense!
Conley rushed up and jumped high under Sean Williams!
Fortunately, Shaun Williams prefers the battle shot to the jump shot, retracts the ball to avoid Conley, who is saved, moves sideways, and makes a three-point shot......
Maybe the rhythm was disrupted, or maybe it was after halftime and the first few rounds after the break didn't feel the impact of the player, Sean Williams made a three-pointer!
By the time Sean Williams threw the ball out, Sun Ce had already put it under the basket and stuck Stoudemire with Battier.
"The king of the low post card position is triggered at level 5, and the host is temporarily increasing the strength, bounce, and speed of the defensive rebound this time......"
The effect of the King of the Low Card Position temporarily raised to level 5 brought by the Star Experience Card of Big Dream is triggered!
Stoudemire didn't push Sun Ce! watched Sun Ce move first after the ball went down, to the point where the ball landed, quickly bounced up and grabbed the rebound.
It was the perfect opportunity to counterattack, but Sun Ce held the ball after landing and waited for the opponent to retreat.
Paul was even more convinced of his and D'Antoni's speculation that they suffered a "malicious slowdown" from the Grizzlies!
Sun Ce advanced slowly after not hindering, Coach Hollins wanted to slow down, and it was true that he also wanted to slow down, but there was still a problem with not counterattacking, he really couldn't fight back now.
After halftime, Sun Ce waited until there were 14 seconds left in the offensive time, continued to hand the ball to Conley, and then slowly cut inside the line.
As soon as Sun Ce entered the low post, he was sandwiched by Novak and Fields, and Stoudemire did not expand directly, staying under the basket to avoid Sun Ce rushing to grab the offensive rebound and prevent Tony Allen from cutting.
Bet on Battier to miss a three-point shot!
Conley played very steadily in the current situation where the team needed stability, and there was no nonsense, and the ball was distributed to Battier as soon as possible.
Battier picked up the ball and adjusted it and made a three-point shot......
Mr. President's big heart can never be taken lightly, and Battier hits a three-point shot in the bottom corner!
76-75, after the Knicks called a timeout, the Grizzlies overtook the score!
However, the Knicks didn't panic, Stoudemire quickly picked up the ball and sent it, and the Knicks pressed the whole team to counterattack!
Paul never imagined in his eight lives that an opponent would dare to send such a lineup.
What's even more unexpected is that the guy on the opposite side who can play point guard and rank in the top three of the MVP list for a long time can actually play a limiting role for Stoudemire when he plays inside!
Seeing that the opponent retreated into place faster than them, and quickly fell into a defensive formation, Paul's mentality collapsed a little!
