From all aspects, Sun Ce feels the same, this game is troublesome! The most troublesome thing is that the team's two best defenders on the perimeter have committed too many fouls!

Even...... All three starting perimeter players committed two fouls in the first quarter.

There is no deviation from the whistle, because the Grizzlies' starting brother has a few defensive moves that are really big, and the blowing scale of the two teams is comparable, James was also blown for an offensive foul when he collided with Sun Ce, and Randolph also caused Hickson to foul when he was single.

It's just that the scale of blowing penalties is comparable, which is quite disadvantageous for the Grizzlies.

Originally, the Grizzlies relied on the arrogant and unreasonable confrontation defense at the beginning of the season, and got something called "confrontation immunity" in the coaching world, that is, the referee's habit of blowing fewer penalties for the Grizzlies' big confrontation, this game is gone, and Mike Brown's defense is a coordinated flow, relying on James and Vallejo's supplementary defense to make up for the lack of other people's individual ability to defend, similar to Kevin Garnett.

When Guy and Battier foul too much, trouble comes in.

No one can stop them!

Sun Ce and Marcus Williams, who had speed, were directly knocked away, and it was useless to retreat far.

Carroll and Anthony Parker were two confrontations enough, but they didn't have enough speed.

So the Grizzlies can only take a pinch attack and try to make up for it quickly from the outside.

As a result, James' toughest aspect came into play, using the burst pass to the first free teammate, who shot when he had the opportunity and passed to another free teammate when he was covered......

finally relied on Sun Ce's 4 points and 1 assist to overtake one point, and when James began to exert his strength, he was overtaken again.

At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers led the Grizzlies by three points, 24-21.

James played the full first quarter and looked at the rookie opposite......

It's so weird!

Sun Ce broke out, James didn't think there was anything, he had beaten his old club before, and he had exploded so badly.

In the first quarter, James had 7 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, which was almost his average data in the first quarter of this season, and it was not stable.

Since last season's MVP season, James has a very big characteristic, that is, no matter who he plays, whether it is an advantage or a disadvantage, every game or even every quarter of the game, the data will not be much worse than the season average......

And Sun Ce's side, 9 points, 3 boards, 2 assists and 2 blocks, scoring is the mainstay! And the data is very sassy!

In particular, the mid-range and close-range shots on 4-of-6 shooting dazzled Jade.

But this time Sun Ce's outburst was completely different from the last time he threw 8 three-pointers to tie the rookie's single-game three-point record, Sun Ce scored at close and medium range, and most of them were hooks!

James was a little envious, if he had this hook...... Not allowed to fly into the sky, but he won't admit it.

……

Sun Ce felt a slight sense of powerlessness.

This is the first time he has felt this feeling of powerlessness after using the star experience card so many times.

In the A-level comprehensive ability evaluation, his performance is much better than usual, mainly because he dares to stand up and score when his teammates have no good opportunities, helping the team maintain the point difference, and not letting the point difference be widened.

But that's about it.

However, Sun Ce's side was not satisfied, and Coach Hollins was completely stunned......

Sun Ce has a few pounds and a few taels, he knows that without good teammates, Sun Ce is equivalent to being wasted.

After Conley, Battier, and Guy committed two fouls in a row, he didn't expect the rotation lineup anymore, but he didn't expect Sun Ce to get 9+3+2+2 in the first seven minutes of the first quarter, and he relied on his own strength to control the backward score within 5 points!

Sun Ce doesn't have any shooting ability, which everyone on the Grizzlies' side knows, but Sun Ce can break out...... And the shots of the two outbursts are not the same...... Coach Hollins had a feeling......

"Is this kid going to grow up to be an offensive kaleidoscope?"

Coach Hollins himself doesn't know why he has this kind of speculation that he himself finds funny.

But that's the way it is, Sun Ce can explode outside the three-point line, and this time he can explode with hook hands at close range, and he himself is good at attacking the basket, but he is too thin......

Coach Hollins shook his head, feeling like his team had traded Bangyan back with an unpredictable guy.

This kid may have a high ceiling, or he may be greedy because he wants to learn too much, and he can't chew it badly, and now more and more players who can't do it all.

Coach Hollins walked up to Sun Ce and asked, "It feels so good, continue to play?" ”

"Hit!"

“OK……”

……

Coach Hollins began to make substitutions, with Conley, Sun Ce, Gay, Jordan Jr., and Gasol Jr. being replaced.

On the Cavaliers' side, James is the fifth-most player in the league in terms of playing time per game, behind Ellis, Gerard Wallace, Gay, and Durant, James continues to play, and Mo Williams, Ricky Davis, Hixon, and Big Z play together.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Grizzlies attacked first.

Sun Ce came up and used the play of blocking and dismantling around the baseline with the help of Jordan Jr.'s basket, and came to the left low post of the three-second area to receive the ball from Gasol Jr., and turned around to hit a hook shot.

In the second quarter, Sun Ce continued to maintain his touch, which forced the Cavaliers' defense to shrink.

Sun Ce's outburst was unexpected by the defense arranged by the Cavaliers before the game, and the Cavaliers' preparation time was not enough, and with Sun Ce, the unexpected outbreak target, the Cavaliers couldn't prevent it.

In the Grizzlies' tactics, Sun Ce's role has changed a lot, from an organizational point to an endpoint!

Gasol Jr. mentioned that the high position strategy and the return pass and shot can contain Hixon, Hickson wants to make up for Sun Ce, Sun Ce will pass back to Gasol Jr., let Gasol Jr. shoot or pass the ball again, it depends on whether James's side will help defend.

If Hickson doesn't take it back, he can only watch Sun Ce shoot, if the big Z under the basket goes up, Sun Ce can directly hang the basket to give little Jordan an empty catch, the big Z moves too slowly, makes a defensive decision, and can't go back to defense.

The Grizzlies' defense has changed significantly from the minutes they played together as starters, with Battier and Guy playing separately, which ensures that there is always a small forward who can keep up with James and play a little more restrictive, and the two play separately, reducing the probability of the two falling into a foul crisis together.

It's just that with James's human tank, the Cavaliers' offensive firepower is still maintained, even if Guy + Jordan Jr. is sent on the front line, and Gasol Jr. is on the inside, it can't completely limit James.

While Gay and Gasol Jr. can both be considered top-notch defenders at the moment, and Jordan Jr. has plenty of physicality to fight against, it really has to be ...... Combined, it is not as good as Howard or Garnett, Duncan, and Yao Ming's restrictions on James alone.

The difference in quality, simply relying on quantity, is difficult to make up, as long as there is a pinch, there will inevitably be vacancies.

The Cavaliers are really strong!

The No. 1 record in the league in the regular season is not something that can be obtained casually, and the Cavaliers can have such a record, basically relying on James, without whom no one else is expected to be able to enter the playoffs.

But the Cavaliers have a problem right now...... Sun Ce is scoring all the time!

Sun Ce has been running, shooting, grabbing rebounds, and passing, playing a lot more complicated than usual, but he doesn't have the characteristics of easy fatigue and lack of physical strength that the Cavaliers saw when they studied the Grizzlies!

S+'s super physical strength bonus allows Sun Ce to continue to maintain output like Abdul-Jabbar!

Hit the third quarter...... Sun Ce has not gone down to rest since he came on the court in the first quarter, the data has been continuously improving, the Grizzlies will always leave a single threat point on the court, Guy or Randolph, Guy and Gasol Jr. together, Randolph and Battier together, continue to maintain a single threat, and Sun Ce is the first endpoint!

The Cavaliers relied on James' full output and maintained a slight lead, but they couldn't pull the score!

This puts constant pressure on the Cavaliers' side!

James didn't dare to relax at all, and he didn't dare to go down to rest for a while, he had to play under high pressure all the time, and if he was not careful, he might be overtaken by the opponent!

26 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists...... This is the data of Sun Ce's three sections.

23 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, which is James' statistics in the third quarter.

By the end of the third quarter, the Grizzlies were still only four points behind!

The fans were so excited!

Sun Ce actually got up against James!
