829. One wrong step is a lifelong mistake...... (The first 5K asks for recommendation votes)
Faced with an alternative genius who is unpredictable and breaks the rules, the Zen master chooses to use extraordinary means at extraordinary times.
However, sometimes, when you feel that the opponent is unpredictable, you don't know how to predict, and you want to defend against the opponent in an unconventional way, you are actually making another prediction mistake, and you may have made a wrong decision from the beginning.
Because once again, you're analyzing a player with the same level of surprise as an ordinary person.
In the game the night before, the Zen master was made doubtful by Sun Ce about his experience in 13 finals and 11 championships in his coaching career...... Sun Ce's performance last night, so that the peak Jordan and Kobe Bryant couldn't play, Sun Ce's 38 minutes of playing without falling a second at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends of the play, even if it was Kobe Bryant's undergraduate, he couldn't help it, Kobe just relied on his unusual physical strength, excellent physical distribution, in the No. 8 era it seems that he is not tired of playing the whole game + overtime, after this characteristic is transformed into skills, Kobe can't do it, just like Nash training Fanash himself does not have that ability.
But others don't know! Kobe Bryant played well the night before, facing Tony Allen, Battier, and Sun Ce's rotational defense, and scored 31 points with a 50 percent shooting rate.
But as long as their Lakers offense is a little sluggish, Sun Ce will bomb all the time...... With 54 points in 38 minutes, there has never been a great performance like this in the playoffs.
Therefore, tonight, the Zen master was worried that Sun Ce would be the same as the night before, and he would turn on the king bomb mode when he came up, and sacrificed such a defense.
But......
In terms of peripheral shooting for the Grizzlies, Sun Ce has never been the king of bombing, and letting Randolph shoot is not necessarily worse than him, and the only three-point player for the Grizzlies who can be called a bomb is Anthony Morrow!
Last night, Sun Ce scored four three-pointers in a row at the beginning, which put the Lakers into a continuous scoring nightmare in the first half, and then was broken down by Sun Ce in the third quarter.
This time, Morrow broke out, and after scoring three three-pointers in a row at the beginning, his fourth shot also caused Kobe Bryant, who was too ferocious, to foul and hit all three free throws at the free throw line!
At the beginning of the game, Sun Ce had 1 assist, Gasol Jr. had 2 assists, and Morrow scored 12 points alone, helping the Grizzlies to play a wave of 12-4!
In less than 3 minutes of the opening game, Bynum on the Lakers' side shot 2 of 3 singles, and Kobe Bryant missed the first shot, totaling 2 of 4, scoring 4 points, the performance was not bad, and the regular start was not bad.
But the Grizzlies are off to another big start!
The Zen master was mentally prepared, and the goal was not to let Sun Ce find a shooting feeling, and would rather let the opposing role player shoot, which was true.
But I can't help Moreau from voting like this!
Now that Mo Luo has cast it, plus Sun Ce, who is still in an uncertain state of the Zen master...... The opponent's two kings on the outside, even if there is Tony Allen, who can be ignored directly from medium and long distances, the opponent's firepower is fierce enough.
Two and a half minutes 12 minutes...... What is the difference between 4 minutes and 16 minutes the day before yesterday?
The Zen master called a timeout.
For the first time in four years, Zen Master called an early timeout for two consecutive games in the playoffs.
As far as Morrow's opening touch, if he didn't adjust it, the Zen master felt that the situation he encountered was even more sinister than the previous one.
Sun Ce is ready, relying on his personal ability and physical strength in the first half, shaving his hairline two or three centimeters above his head at halftime, and then wearing a headband and moving the arm guard to his right hand to see if these postures can improve the match with James.
And then before I had time to do anything, the difference was almost 10 points......
However, after a few rounds, the opponent also figured out and calculated the defense that he thought was funny......
……
This timeout was not called by the Grizzlies, on the Grizzlies' side, Coach Hollins was pleasantly surprised, but tried to calm himself down, emphasizing defense, emphasizing the decisiveness of passing, and the confidence of shooting, and did not make adjustments in terms of playing style.
After the pause, the Lakers did not make any substitutions, Sun Ce estimated that the opponent should have adjusted the defensive focus, but this was put aside first, first the Lakers attacked, Artest sent the ball to Fisher, and ran to the bottom left corner with Sun Ce to open up space.
This time, the Lakers' point of attack changed from Bynum to Kobe, and Kobe waited for Fisher to receive the serve, and immediately turned high on the left side of the free throw line to lean on Tony Allen to ask for the ball.
After Fisher passed the ball to Kobe, he ran to the bottom corner of the right side with Morrow to open up space, and Gasol pulled to the right side of the free throw line to prepare to catch the ball and shoot, taking Randolph, who was good at offensive rebounding, away from close range, and Bynum contained Gasol Jr. under the basket.
After Kobe Bryant received the ball, he turned sharply, dribbled with his left hand, and when he turned around with his right elbow, he used "inertia" to resist Tony Allen and break through from the bottom line!
The referee won't blow this action, just like Tony Allen and Kobe Bryant pretending to move to "support" Kobe's waist with his hands when he was in position, which is an action approved by the referee.
Tony Allen hurriedly retreated to the right rear to prevent Kobe Bryant from breaking through, and the defensive options were very targeted.
Kobe Bryant turned around and took a sudden step, and Sun Ce made up for it! Tony Allen defends the break, Sun Ce makes up the shot!
But Kobe Bryant was not affected by Sun Ce's supplemental defense, and he did not pass the ball, and made a decisive stop-and-back jumper......
Sun Ce pounced with all his might, trying to block it, and Olajuwon's hand strap effect triggered...... Still no cap, Kobe Bryant played very decisively and resolutely, hitting a mid-range pull-up jump shot at an angle of about 30 degrees! 6-12, Kobe Bryant helped the Lakers narrow the gap to 6 points.
There is no problem with the defensive cooperation of Sun Ce and Tony Allen in this ball, but Kobe's almost 45-degree back-tilting shot Sun Ce has not been able to cap even if he has a height advantage and Olajuwon's tying effect, and Kobe Bryant's shooting can be scored, which can be called a fairy ball.
Sun Ce was not affected, Kobe Bryant also often scored this kind of fairy ball the night before, but he scored more that night.
There is no way to defend very hard without defense, and the next offense is very important, which may affect the next team's offense!
After Sun Ce advanced to the frontcourt, Kobe Bryant once again came up on the defensive, but Fisher's side did not pinch in advance.
Sun Ce knew that the other party was still afraid that he would shoot 10 three-pointers the night before, and would rather give him a chance to break through than let him shoot from the outside, because the opponent's formation was ...... It's a 3-1-1 inside defense again!
Sun Ce immediately decided how to fight, beckoned to Tony Allen, Tony Allen went to Kobe's left to block Kobe Bryant under Sun Ce's command, and Sun Ce broke through from the right! Kobe Bryant was blocked, Artest immediately defended from the low post on the right side of the three-second zone, Kobe Bryant did not go around the defense to chase Sun Ce's shot, but rushed directly to the bottom line and formed a defensive cooperation with Artest.
Sun Ce broke through the bottom line to hook his hand, Kobe Bryant can defend it, Sun Ce can move a mid-distance horizontal step jumper, Artest who moved in advance can defend it, the tacit understanding and cooperation trust of the two are very high, this is a championship-level defensive forward line! As for the inside line, there are twin towers behind the two!
Sun Ce knew that the opponent had twin towers on the inside, but this time he had to know that there were tigers in the mountains and were biased towards the tiger mountains, and after rushing into the free throw line distance, Sun Ce saw Kobe Bryant running towards the bottom line, stopped sharply within the distance of the free throw line on the right side of the three-second zone, turned left sharply, and accelerated and changed direction in the process! S-class burst speed! Artest, who is already "inflexible" at his age, has not yet reacted, and Sun Ce has already entered the three-second zone!
Bynum, who was on the left side of the free throw line, had been keeping an eye on Sun Ce's movements, and the defensive instructions he received at this point were that Gasol Jr. could choose to let go when he left close range, and immediately rushed back to the inside when Sun Ce made an emergency stop, and blocked it when Sun Ce used his explosive speed to rush to the left half of the three-second zone.
At this time, Sun Ce stopped again, accelerated and exploded in the second stage, stepped under the basket in one step, jumped one step, and took a small hook hand on the right side of the basket......
Entered!
Kobe Bryant had just rushed to the bottom line at this time, and when he turned his head, he saw Sun Ce's second-stage accelerated explosion to avoid Bynum's jump to the basket, and he had a thought in his heart - is this guy human?
Ellis and Rose can understand that they made such continuous directional change shots, but Sun Ce is so big, he can actually make such a move that a guard can make, and compared to the two, Sun Ce seems to be undisturbed by the defenders, Bynum has given confrontation, Sun Ce is stunned and rushes out! Not even Ellis and Ross can do that!
Sun Ce's goal made the Lakers more certain that Sun Ce was still in a state of explosion.
However, Sun Ce, who scored the goal, was very fortunate when he returned to the defense, Kobe did not block it at the first time, and Mr. Tony was very obedient to help him block and dismantle and then help Morrow block and dismantle at a 45-degree angle on the right side, so that Kobe had to prevent Sun Ce from going to the bottom line while also preventing Morrow from running to the bottom corner to shoot, so that he could successfully complete that kind of attack.
It is estimated that it will be difficult to score like that in the next round, even if there is a physical potion that can be used to distribute physical strength in this game, it is not a big problem, but the opponent will definitely be more decisive in the attack.
But the fight is done, so that the other party has a more decisive tendency to flank, this is enough, this is what Sun Ce wants.
At the beginning of this game, there was Morrow's outbreak, and the Grizzlies started better than the most ideal expectations, and the process, because the opposing head coach was a little bit brained by Sun Ce, and it was also unexpectedly smooth, and in the seventh minute of the first quarter, the Grizzlies led the Lakers by 9 points 22-13!
Moreau's containment and Sun Ce's containment created opportunities for Randolph's mid-range shot, Gasol Jr.'s cut-in, and even Tony Allen caused Kobe Bryant to commit a foul.
And the most critical thing is that Tony Allen cut in to cause Kobe's foul, and when it came to the official timeout, the Zen master didn't know whether to continue to let Kobe play the first quarter, because Kobe had already committed two fouls!
Originally, Kobe Bryant would not have fouled so much, and after Morrow scored three three-pointers in a row, Bryant's foul was an accident.
Sun Ce got 2 points, 3 assists and 1 block in a little more than half a quarter, he scored a goal, the Lakers didn't even want to give him a chance to shoot, and he was ready to attack anytime and anywhere, but he was ready, and later passed an assist to Randolph and Gasol Jr., but unfortunately the pass to Tony Allen failed to convert into an assist, but Mr. Tony hit both free throws, and it caused Kobe Bryant's foul, which was very beneficial to their Grizzlies!
Sun Ce is ready to attract the pinch pass, so he plays relatively easily, his physical strength is mainly consumed in defense, and on the offensive side, except for the acceleration and change of direction in the continuous march, the other offensive rounds are very easy, and the current physical strength is no problem, he estimates that he can hold such a defense in the half! There are also physical potions in the second half!
……
After the official timeout, the Zen master still replaced Kobe Bryant and used the lineup of Blake, Shannon Brown, Barnes, Odom, and Pau Gasol to play the rest of the first quarter.
On the Grizzlies' side, 4 of 4 shots in 7 minutes, including 3 of 3 three-pointers and 3 of 3 free throws, the best performance of Morrow was replaced to rest, he even shot the long two points passed by Gasol Jr., but the consumption was greater than Sun Ce, first of all, the physical fitness was average, and then he had to try his best to run to find almost, even if he didn't have a chance to shoot, he had to use the threat he played at the beginning to maximize the defensive containment.
Sun Ce and the lineup of Conley, Battier, Randolph and Jordan Jr. played.
After returning to the court, Sun Ce looked at the opposite side without Kobe, and when he paused, he said that he could let Batildo wait and play later, but Coach Hollins insisted that Kobe Bryant should continue to play.
Fortunately, it wasn't a big deal, and Battier also played a big role when he came up.
The first attack of the Grizzlies team's return, Sun Ce chose to play Barnes with his back in the high position, Sun Ce has not shot for a while, the Lakers wanted to try to see if Sun Ce's hand was cooled down, but relying on the "King of Turnover Jumpers" to hit Barnes's turnover jumper, the bounce was temporarily upgraded to the B+ level, plus Sun Ce's back, Barnes didn't even touch Sun Ce's forearm, Sun Ce was also lucky to trigger a 10% "shooting interference exemption", and hit a mid-range jumper after Barnes pounced and turned over, Barnes hit Sun Ce's elbow, the referee's whistle blew, and there was a penalty for the score!
It's a pity that Sun Ce's arm was hit a little hard by Barnes, and the hook didn't score when he made a free throw.
However, this does not affect the Lakers' defensive pinch tendencies to immediately become active again, after the big Gasol received Odom's shot, Sun Ce went to the front court and continued to card Barnes on the right side of the high position to ask for the ball, the high singles in this position are difficult to defend, right-handers generally do not play high in this position, and Sun Ce, the "weirdo" in the eyes of the opponent, Sun Ce just received the Conley hanging ball, and the Shannon-Brown in the bottom corner of the right side hit it, Sun Ce passed to Battier, and Battier hit the bottom corner with three points!
27-15, the Grizzlies stretched the difference to 12 points!
There are 4 minutes left in the first quarter!
Although the Grizzlies' hand declined next, mainly because the Lakers' lineup became more mobile on the outside defense and more crazy in defense, resulting in a decline in the Grizzlies' hand, the Grizzlies also scored 4 points in the last 4 minutes of the first quarter, and 31 points in the first quarter!
But the Grizzlies didn't defend badly, with the Lakers scoring six points in the last four minutes and 21 points in the quarter......
Because Kobe Bryant couldn't play the last 4 minutes because of a foul crisis, the Lakers didn't perform as well in the first quarter tonight as well as the last game, while the Grizzlies played better than the last game when Sun Ce only scored 4 points in the first quarter.
4 points, 6 boards, 5 assists and 2 blocks, the scoring side couldn't break out, Sun Ce took advantage of the opponent's defense, his own analytical ability, and boldness to break out from another side!
4+6+5+2 in the first quarter, who dares to say that this is not an explosive performance!
The opportunity is in the hands of those who work hard, and Sun Ce and his teammates have seized on the big problems that have arisen on the opposing defensive end.
After the first quarter, the Zen master finally realized that he was really thinking too much, and he was seized by the other party.
He began to calmly arrange the defense, no longer so extreme, one board at a glance, honest defense, if the other party really broke out, he couldn't help it, Popovich couldn't do anything against Kobe Bryant back then, he didn't think his defense could be better than Popovich, on the basis of having his own type of defensive player that he was good at using, the two of them had a day and a half.
But at this time, it was too late to figure it out, and Sun Ce's side began to "spread wild"!
Not long after the start of the second quarter, Sun Ce caused Kobe Bryant, who had just come on the court, to foul him, and then was knocked to the floor by an angry Kobe.
The long-lost throwing and hugging foul!
The referee didn't want to blow this foul at all, Sun Ce took advantage of Kobe's defense to take the initiative to wave the ball up and hit Kobe Bryant's armpit, and then plunged into Kobe's arms, who were so much shorter than him......
If you change someone, such as James Harden, who will be too strong in the future, in the playoffs, the referee can completely treat it as if he didn't see it.
But looking at Sun Ce's hard work, compared to Kobe's thin little body, the referee suddenly had an unbearable emotion, and this can be blown according to the rules, and the whistle is given.
This is the effect of the master of foul making!
Although the referee decided that Sun Ce would never give a whistle next time he played like this, for Kobe, this foul was a nightmare, he only played two minutes in the second quarter and committed 3 fouls!
Looking at Sun Ce, who was pushed by himself, Kobe Bryant wanted to stomp on this guy with one kick, but he still stretched out his hand back when he turned around.
Sun Ce took Kobe's hand and stood up, Kobe Bryant pulled Sun Ce up and walked to the bench without looking back, he wanted to kill when he saw this kid, but he was his "successor", and finally there was an MVP successor, how distressing it was to kill him.
However, this little episode made the fans at the scene give Kobe Bryant a sparse applause, which was a surprise for Kobe.
No way, the Grizzlies' own fans feel that Sun Ce's foul this time is too obscene, how can anyone play like this, even Kevin Martin, the Timberwolves' free throw king who averaged 11 free throws per game this season, everyone relies on creating a shooting threat and then feints to shake the opponent away and then make a foul, Sun Ce is simply going to the rules.
Grizzlies fans are happy, but don't want to admit they're happy......
"One wrong step is a lifelong mistake, and dancing in the sea is ...... for life"
Yi Jianlian, who walked to the right side of the three-second zone, heard Sun Ce, who walked to the free throw line, singing a dancing girl's tears, and almost fell down with a weak leg.
It's hard to say whether it's good or not, sing this song at this time...... It's actually quite appropriate!
When Coach Hollins made a substitution at the break, he had already analyzed that the opposing defense had done something wrong from the start.
But hearing Sun Cegang's obscene foul making amplify the opponent's mistakes, and singing this song so loudly.
Even teammates don't want to be in the company of them...... But it's more than 10 points ahead of the Lakers, so happy!
