1391. Left Hand, Left Hand (Part 2)

At the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies trailed by four points at 28-32 and entered the second quarter.

Luckily, JR-Smith threw a long-range three-pointer from the center in the last 1 second and hit the basket in a circle, and the Grizzlies went on a 9-6 run in the last three minutes of the first quarter to narrow the gap by three points.

Sun Ce scored 7 points, 2 boards, 3 assists and 1 steal in the first quarter, which was not much worse than Paul's 5 points and 4 assists.

But the Lakers also have Josh Smith with 4 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists!

In the first quarter, the Lakers' scoring was basically cooperative, with a total of 9 assists in a single quarter, and Paul and Josh Smith made good use of the threat played by Kobe Bryant and JR Smith.

Fortunately, they had Nash on their side, and he got 3 points and 1 assist in 3 minutes, helping the team narrow the gap.

During the break, the Grizzlies made adjustments, Paul was really amazing, and Kobe Bryant rested to ensure the Lakers' scoring efficiency.

Not surprisingly, Kobe Bryant was going to play in the second quarter, and the three stars of the opposing team performed so well in both games, Coach Hollins was heartbroken and sent a lineup of Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Paul George, Battier, and Gasol Jr.

Directly sacrifice the strongest defense!

The beginning fell into passivity, and now you can only make dangerous moves.

Sun Ce didn't come up with any good ways for the time being, and playing defense when he couldn't do it was definitely the safest choice.

On the Lakers' side, Paul, Kobe, Leonard, Earl Clarke, and Josh Smith came on the court to try to maintain offensive continuity.

The second quarter of the game was a miserable one, and both teams had no opportunities from the outside, and they rushed to the basket vigorously.

On the Lakers' side, Leonard, Earl Clarke, and Josh Smith became the main scorers, taking advantage of the dream backcourt composed of Kobe, who scored 11 points in 9 minutes in the first quarter, and Paul, who scored 5 points and 4 assists on 2-of-3 shooting in the first quarter, and tried to impact the basket.

On the Grizzlies' side, Sun Ce and Jimmy Butler and Larry Sanders, who came off the bench, worked hard to rush to the basket.

Relying on Gasol Jr.'s defensive dominance under the basket, the Grizzlies tightened the score.

From 28-32 in the first quarter to 16-17 after 11 minutes in the second quarter, the Grizzlies grinded the game to the point where fans in front of the TV felt desperate.

But the fans at the scene were very excited to watch it, and slowly played the feeling!

Kobe Bryant scored 11 points in the first quarter, and when the halftime was almost over, it was only 15 points, and the Lakers' whole team offense was not good.

Although the Grizzlies did not score well, they relied on Sun Ce to play the defensive end, and also played the offensive end, scoring 9 points, 4 boards, 1 assist, 2 blocks and 1 steal in 11 minutes.

At 44-49, the Grizzlies trailed by five points, and with 1:03 left in the first half, the Lakers attacked.

At this time, Kobe Bryant, who only scored 4 points with 1 of 4 shots and 2 of 4 free throws in the first 11 minutes, stepped up!

It was a high-post catch-and-back turnaround jumper, and with 50 seconds left in the first half, the Lakers led the Grizzlies by 7 points at 51-44!

Watching Kobe Bryant blow the gun and retreat, Sun Ce received the serve, stretched out his right arm, and advanced to the front court with his left hand under the defense of Leonard, who was rotated on the court.

Leonard wanted to use the way of sticking to the defense and blocking Sun Ce's habitual hand, trying to make Sun Ce's mistakes, but he didn't succeed, Sun Ce dribbled on one side, and it felt no different from using his left hand to separate the defender's right hand to dribble and advance, and there was not even a subtle difference between the left and right hand control of players like Kobe Bryant and Paul who were very good at holding the ball with both hands.

If you change to an ordinary defensive player, you can't see this detail, but Leonard has the talent to be the best defensive player, and he looks at it from a much more delicate angle than others.

Sun Ce felt that he was about to run out of strength.

Half time is close to full, 16 points, 6 boards, 4 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals, but now you have to hold on!

Looking at the position on the court, at the moment, on their Grizzlies side, Tony Allen, Jimmy Butler, Prince, and Larry Sanders are on the court.

The opponents are Blake, Kobe, Leonard, Josh Smith, Jordan Hill.

Instead of directly pinching the ceiling just because they sent Tony Allen now, the opponent chose to shrink to prevent him from hitting the basket and using his size to score, and the focus was on blocking the right three-second zone.

Leonard stuck him to death outside the three-point line, and the Lakers' shrinking defense also played a huge role in limiting Jimmy Butler's mid-range shot, Jimmy Butler could contain a defender, but not to the point of relying on mid-range running to lead the defense.

Let's do it with your head down!

Sun Ce saw Jimmy Butler run around the baseline to the right side of the three-second zone and immediately broke through to the left!

There was no chance under the basket, Sun Ce took a step in the left middle distance, triggering the "Horizontal Jump Shot Level 3" jumping with his left hand......

Leonard reacted very quickly, but it was natural to get used to it, and when he saw Sun Ce changing the ball to his left hand in the process of lifting the ball, Leonard was still stunned, and the direction of his hand did not interfere with Sun Ce's shot!

Sun Ce's head was already running out of oxygen, so when he shot, he tried his best to shoot according to the feeling he felt during training.

After the ball flew over his head, Leonard turned his head to see that the ball flew out and went headlong into the basket!

Sun Ce's left hand hits!

46-51, the Grizzlies once again narrowed the gap to 5 points!

Even the fans are still very unaccustomed to Sun Ce's left-handed shooting, not to mention the opponent, when Sun Ce throws, everyone thinks that Sun Ce has reached the point where he has no choice but to throw indiscriminately, but he entered!

This goal was scored, and Sun Ce instantly felt his spirit coming! Fighting to retreat, the Lakers' current lineup wants to score easily, and must play fast, Josh Smith received the serve and advanced quickly, and gave Blake-Blake a quick break, and Kobe Bryant, who cut in, received the ball and flew to throw a shot...... Sun Ce, who was struggling to chase back, slapped him and hit the rebound with a "bang"!

Larry Sanders was a beat slower to catch up with Kobe, but grabbed the defensive rebound after Sun Ce's block before Jordan Hill, who was close to him!

Larry Sanders grabbed his arm to prevent being stealed, and when Kobe and Jordan Hill both stepped back and handed the ball to Sun Ce, Sun Ce looked at the 14 seconds left and 5 seconds left to advance to the half, and immediately quickly advanced the half, and Leonard also quickly pasted Sun Ce in the midline position.

When Sun Ce dribbled to the three-point line, he obviously felt that Leonard's defense was tighter, all the way to the middle distance, Leonard still didn't let go, Sun Ce faked to change direction to the middle, pretending to go to the free throw line hook, Leonard relied on someone under the basket to withdraw a step, to prevent Sun Ce from running the free throw line, Sun Ce used his last bit of strength, turned around and rushed to the left baseline in the middle of the acceleration of the change of direction skills, stood with his right foot, hooked his left foot, and faced the baseline with a left-handed hook shot when Josh Smith pounced...... Again!
