Sun Ce sat on the bench and watched the lineup of Conley, Tony Allen, Morrow, Randolph, and Jordan Jr. play, as if he had replaced himself with one of them, and went up to continue to fight with Kobe.

However, when he saw the data, Sun Ce found that his performance did not seem to be much worse than Kobe, Kobe Bryant had 10 points, 1 board and 2 assists, he scored 8 points, 2 boards and 2 assists on 3-of-7 shooting, and a block on Bynum, who grabbed the offensive rebound.

This made Sun Ce feel weird and surprised, and he felt that he was at an extreme disadvantage when facing Kobe Bryant on both offensive and defensive ends of the court.

But in fact, it doesn't seem to be that much of a disadvantage, it is purely into Kobe's rhythm and into that state of torture that is difficult to get rid of.

This made Sun Ce feel that Kobe Bryant was like a devil!

Opposite Kobe, Sun Ce does not consume much in terms of physical strength, because Kobe Bryant did not do any superfluous actions in the face of his defense, usually throwing it away with a fake action or confrontation, Sun Ce has no chance to consume it, and Sun Ce's physical consumption is mainly on the offensive end.

And on the defensive end, Sun Ce was tormented by his little heart.

Kobe missed one shot, missed two shots, and still threw the third time, and it was often when Sun Ce felt that he was defending well, the more accurate Kobe Bryant shot.

On the contrary, when Sun Ce lost his defensive position in some rounds and did not defend well, Kobe Bryant was iron again, but then when Sun Ce tried to defend in place, Kobe Bryant threw in again.

Again and again, again and again, Kobe Bryant didn't know what "reasonable" was, but even if he didn't know what was reasonable, Kobe Bryant finished the half quarter, scored 10 points on 4-of-9 shooting, and there was an additional penalty!

The Lakers did not call a timeout, but Kobe Bryant once again faced Sun Ceqiang after Sun Ce scored 8 points to shoot to increase his personal score to 10 points and caused Sun Ce to foul, and the referee entered the official timeout after the whistle.

Sun Ce played for seven minutes, Coach Hollins replaced Sun Ce, Sun Ce's defense of Kobe Bryant was already a little angry before the official pause, Coach Hollins wanted to let Sun Ce calm down, and he was also worried that Kobe Bryant would play Sun Ce badly.

Coach Hollins is glad that this is no longer the peak Kobe, last season's Kobe Bryant can barely be considered the peak, but there is already a gap with the Kobe who ravaged the opponent like a demon back then, and the gap is even more obvious this season, otherwise with Sun Ce's defense, Kobe can play Sun Ce to collapse.

The Lakers sent Blake, Kobe, Barnes, Odom, and Pau Gasol to the lineup.

Seeing Kobe Bryant walking to the free throw line, Sun Ce worked hard to adjust his emotions, emotions will drive the body's hormone secretion, and he needs to rest now.

In the past half quarter or so, he was not tired on the defensive end, Kobe Bryant didn't give him a chance to be tired at all, but he played the offensive end, because Kobe Bryant's performance was too good, if he didn't fight, he might be pulled apart in one or two rounds, and no one could predict whether Kobe Bryant could score the next goal.

Bryant's free throw extended the Lakers' lead to three points.

Offense and defense transitioned, and the Grizzlies attacked.

Sun Ce and Gasol Jr. went down, the Grizzlies' organizational core became Conley, and the offensive core became Randolph, but the scorers to count on were Jordan Jr. and Morrow.

Conley hoisted the ball to Randolph, who was stuck in the low post with Pau Gasol.

Replaced by Odom's partner Da Gasol, the Lakers' interior defensive mobility has been further improved, and both of them can play two positions on the inside.

Big Gasol definitely can't prevent Randolph, he still needs to rely on the help defense, Odom is not focused now, but he is not distracted, he is in a decent state, the defense speed is very fast, and he shrinks in time when Randolph turns around.

But this time Randolph was prepared and threw the ball into the air in a two-man sandwich!

Jordan Jr. rushed inside and pressed the ball into the basket with one hand!

The ball was thrown high enough that Gasol Jr. couldn't catch it 100%, but it was Jordan Jr. who caught the ball! The high post pass was blocked, and Odom and Gasol did a perfect job of pinching the low singles, but fortunately Jordan Jr. was able to pick up this very exaggerated high-toss pass.

Randolph's ball is not a blind pass, but a height that Jordan Jr. can receive and Odom can't intercept if he wants to, showing the delicate feel under Randolph's rugged appearance.

When it came to the Lakers' offense, Sun Ce just had a wave of Kobe Bryant, and now it was Tony's turn to go head-to-head with Kobe.

The first quarter was Kobe Bryant's showtime, and in the remaining five minutes, Bryant scored nine more points, hitting Tony Allen on 3-of-5 shooting, including a three-pointer, plus 1 of 2 free throws after a foul.

Tony Allen didn't get a good deal when he went up, Kobe Bryant led the team to 14 points in these 5 minutes, in addition to his 9 points, as well as a three-point shot by Blake, and a layup by Pau Gasol, the Lakers scored 32 points in the first quarter!

Kobe Bryant had 20 points, 1 board and 3 assists in a single quarter, and his performance exploded!

It's not that Tony Allen doesn't defend well, it's that Kobe Bryant can't stop him.

Fortunately, in the last 5 minutes, Jordan Jr. and Morrow scored 10 points together, plus Randolph's second offensive hit to grab an offensive rebound, and scored 12 points in 5 minutes, so that the Lakers did not open up the difference.

Jordan Jr.'s 6 points and Moreau's 3+1 are key.

Mainly Morrow, who has averaged 3.8 three-pointers per game in the past five games since playing the Bobcats, has made six three-point shots in a single game, and has been the best player for the Grizzlies after the mid-season fatigue period, except for Randolph and Sun Ce.

When Morrow borrowed Tony Allen to block and dismantle, Kobe and Barnes both pounced on Morrow, opening up the space for Randolph's low-post singles, giving Jordan Jr. a chance to show his super physical fitness, and Morrow only ran out of space, and threw in three points, and also caused a foul on Blake, who over-pounced after switching defenses.

Morrow is like Korver of the Grizzlies, and Sun Ce, who looks on the sidelines, is very envious.

Sun Ce actually wonders why he didn't have much impression of Morrow in his previous life, this season Morrow only averaged 8.6 points per game, and now he ranks third in the league with an average of 2.3 three-pointers per game, although he has almost no other performance on the offensive end except for three points, but as a role player, he can't ask for more.

Only Curry of the Warriors averaged 2.7 three-pointers per game, Wright of the Warriors and Quentin Richardson of the Knicks, Jason Richardson of the Magic averaged 2.4 three-pointers per game better than Morrow, and Ray Allen, Ryan Anderson, Channing Frye, and Billups, who averaged 2.1 three-pointers per game, did not perform as well as Morrow's three-pointers.

Morrow played an average of 20.4 minutes per game, with a 42.3 percent three-point shooting rate and an average of 2.3 three-pointers per game, how good and how good the efficiency is, and he is only 25 years old, but Sun Ce really didn't have much impression of this player before he met Moreau.

At the intermission, he slapped Morrow who walked back to the bench, Sun Ce was still very curious, this player who could shoot two three-pointers per game around 2010 was not so powerful when he came to the Grizzlies, but the chaotic team in the Warriors last season, Morrow was already a top ten shooter in the league, and this season has a better team and more stable play.

But such a player didn't have his name in the three-point era five or six years later, thinking that Korver had entered his peak at that time, and he was already thirty-three or fourteen years old, Sun Ce could only guess that it might be due to injury, not being reused by the team, not having a suitable team, and so on.

At the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies trailed by four points at 28-32, and the margin was not stretched to more than five points.

This is the credit of the team's efforts, Sun Ce's 8 points in the first half and Jordan Jr. and Moreau 10 points in the half quarter are very important.

And Randolph's side, don't look at his shooting rate is only 33 percent, a total of only 2 of 6 shots, both goals are all secondary offenses, and 2 of 2 free throws, there are also 6 points and 4 boards in a single quarter, and there are unexpectedly 5 assists in a single quarter, setting a new record for Randolph's career single-quarter assists!

After the coaches of the two teams made lineup rotations and tactical adjustments, the second quarter of the game began.

The Lakers sent a lineup of Bynum, Odom, and Blake as the core, rookie Derrick Carakot at the power forward position, and Shanno Brown at the shooting guard position.

Although Kobe Bryant was in good shape, the Zen master still made the same choice as before and replaced Kobe, if it weren't for Kobe Bryant's expectation of 20+ in a single quarter, the Zen master replaced Kobe as early as the Grizzlies called a timeout in the 9th minute of the first quarter.

Keeping up and playing, no matter what a game, Kobe Bryant only plays 30 to 35 minutes, no matter how important the game is, for the Lakers, the regular season ranking is important, but not as important as Kobe's health.

Of course, the Zen master was able to put Kobe, who scored 20 points and 3 assists on 7-of-14 shooting in the first quarter, on the bench.

On the Grizzlies' side, they sent a combination of Jason Williams, Morrow, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, and Gasol Jr.

The four towers were replaced by Coach Hollins according to their own characteristics.

Both Sun Ce and Conley rested, allowing Jason Williams to go up and hold up a few minutes early.

Zen Master's coaching has been complained by many people, but he is capable, change the head coach, the team has a young player like Bynum who is overflowing with talent but elusive personality, and he has long been unable to suppress it, you must know that he is only 23 years old, but Zen Master can find a way to suppress his desire to perform, and let him defend well and play the level of the third center in the league.

Press when it's time to press, and release the beast when it's time to release it!

In the first half of the second quarter, Bynum became the absolute offensive core of the Lakers, Odom moved to the point guard position to organize the offense, Blake went to be a pitcher, Shannon Brown and Caracott ran to prepare to impact the basket, and Shannon Brown, who has entered his peak and has C+ level strength, has three points this season, and Bynum beat Gasol Jr. to no end.

I can't prevent it! To have a mid-range shot, to have a foot, and Bynum weighs 126 kilograms and can still have such athletic ability, except for Yao Ming, Howard, Duncan, and Perkins, few people can limit him one-on-one.

Gasol Jr.'s overall defense has gotten stronger since he lost weight, but Bynum hasn't done as well as he has done in the past two years.

Forced to compete with the Lakers on offense, which is not what the Grizzlies are good at, but they have to do this, and they dare not replace Sun Ce in advance, and the substitutions during this period are also rotations in other positions.

Fortunately, Jason Williams and Gasol Jr. cooperated well in the positional battle, Gasol Jr.'s high position strategy was not as top as Gasol Jr., but it was also top-notch, with Yimuhua United, Paul George and Morrow, and Batur who appeared in rotation, the Grizzlies maintained a good mid-range shot, and did not let the point difference be opened up in the few minutes when Bynum broke out.

In the sixth minute of the second quarter, Coach Hollins immediately called a timeout.

With 12 points in the first quarter, the Grizzlies had a season-long average, but the opponent scored 16 points.

Bynum scored 8 points alone, and there was 1 chase hat when Yi Jianlian cut in!

Not playing against the Lakers in person, Sun Ce couldn't imagine how strong Nowitzki was to sweep this Lakers team!

This is not the Lakers coached by Mike Brown and D'Antoni, but the Lakers coached by Zen Master with three towers + Kobe, and this season's Lakers role player lineup is much stronger than last season, with the addition of Blake and Barnes, Shannon Brown reached his peak, and the Lakers rotated 9 people.

Playing the Lakers has made Sun Ce's pressure on the possibility of meeting the Mavericks in the playoffs even greater.

At this time, Coach Hollins called his name, and Sun Ce put aside the pressure from the Mavericks, that is all for later, and the game now is also very important.

For the Grizzlies, what is the difference between meeting the Lakers and the Mavericks in the playoffs? Isn't it the difference between a god-level team and a super-god-level team, the same, you have to play hard, winning is one thing, you have to go all out, so that the coaching staff can find a better way to deal with them.

In addition to this, there is another incident on Sun Ce's side.

He performed very well in the first quarter, shooting 3 of 4 in 7 minutes, and 2 of 3 in the face of Kobe, one pick and two hits Kobe and Bynum were counted in his goal against Kobe, but the small big heads-up Bynum shot was not counted.

Coach Hollins was finally willing to replace Sun Ce, and paired it with a combination of Morrow, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, and Jordan Jr.

Morrow was substituted after playing two minutes in the second quarter, rested for a while, and now comes up to play with Sun Ce.

Coach Hollins has been able to figure out some precursors of Sun Ce's outburst, at least in the first seven minutes of the first quarter today, Sun Ce did not have a tendency to break out, so he was very cautious about the rotation of the lineup, not that Sun Ce played badly, but that Sun Ce was playing in his usual way of playing, just finding a way to deal with Kobe's defense, not the kind of powerful that defied everything when he broke out.

Then you have to follow the plan, Coach Hollins doesn't know if the plan can succeed, use the coaching philosophy of the Zen master to deal with the Zen master, Coach Hollins is very bottomless, this is not Kobe Bryant's outbreak, Bynum is murderous, it can't be stopped at all, and their Grizzlies have been in good shape recently, continuing the performance of the past two games against the Nuggets and the Thunder, so they have not been completely pulled away.

The Lakers didn't put Kobe on the line, sending a lineup of Blake, Shannon Brown, Odom, Artest, and Pau Gasol.

Kobe Bryant only played an average of 12 to 14 minutes per game in the first half of this season, and the first quarter was full, and the second quarter Zen Master must let him rest a little longer, unless the score is overtaken, and if it is originally behind, even if the point difference is pulled away, Zen Master will not care, anyway, they have the strongest player in the third quarter - Kobe Bryant.

The Lakers are extremely good at chasing points in the third quarter when they are down by a large margin at halftime, and the third quarter is a section that separates the real and the average strong team, the Lakers are the best team in the past two years and have one of the best teams in the league in the third quarter this season.

After Sun Ce came on the court, he played with ease in the face of Blake and Shannon Brown's outside line, and faced the most difficult Kobe Bryant + Bynum's defense, and now only the twin towers are present, which is relatively much easier.

However, the psychological pressure is not small, and the score difference must be caught up during the second quarter, otherwise it will be difficult to play in the third quarter!

Looking at Sun Ce, who started to speed immediately after receiving the serve, Coach Hollins could only hope to narrow the gap before Kobe Bryant came on the court.

……

Sun Ce received the mid-line ball from Yi Jianlian, and began to accelerate from a distance of more than one meter from the three-point line!

Blake defended hard and was tough, but it was obvious to be passed, but the Lakers' interior defense changed!

The Zen master made a small adjustment, letting Odom play small forward and Artest play power forward.

The change worked, Odom could keep up with Paul George, while Artest could carry most of the power forwards, and the flaw of sliding movement was masked.

As soon as Sun Ce passed Blake to the free throw line, he was blocked by Artest! However, Sun Ce didn't want to score by himself, and quickly distributed the ball to Yi Jianlian on the left side of the three-second zone.

Yi Jianlian did not shoot, but rushed into the interior with the ball, and Pau Gasol immediately moved over to prevent Yi Jianlian from directly impacting the basket...... No! It's a pass!

The ball flew over the basket, and Jordan Jr. jumped off the right sideline in the three-second zone and smashed the ball into the basket behind Gasol Jr.!

Yi Jianlian's ball is a bit sassy! Obviously, there can be an easier pass, and when he just broke into the three-second zone, he could pass directly to Little Jordan, but he was stunned to play a sassy operation!

Coming to play at the Staples Center, the Grizzlies players are very excited, otherwise they wouldn't have been so motivated on consecutive road trips, and they wouldn't have performed so well overall.

If it weren't for Kobe Bryant and Bynum's unexpectedly brutal performance, the Grizzlies would have scored 40 points in the first 18 minutes, and they would still have scored 40 points in a quarter and a half in the face of the Lakers' good defense.

After Jordan Jr. scored behind the ball, the Grizzlies quickly retreated, and when the Lakers attacked, the Lakers were not messed up by the Grizzlies who completed a quick three-man cooperation in 8 seconds, 46-40, and the Lakers still maintained a lead of more than 5 points.

Sending the double emperor combination is actually a very effective interior combination to deal with the Lakers' three towers, Yi Jianlian has a mid-range shot, dribble and a good sense of passing among NBA interior players, and both of them have excellent pie-eating ability, but why didn't they replace the two in advance in the starting stage?

The Grizzlies are a team where both Sun Ce and Randolph can be pressed on the bench if necessary, and there is no problem of worrying about the mood of the two bears, they are a team style of play.

It's because of the defensive ......

Gasol Jr. is now sighing that he didn't hit his brother a few more times early, and he was very sad, but when he hit Jordan Jr., Gasol Jr. shook Jordan Jr. with two feints, turned around and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

The Lakers don't have a top three-pointer, Kobe Bryant's kind doesn't count, he is the first three-pointer when he is on three-point accuracy, yes, he holds the record of consecutive three-point shots and single-game three-point shots, but the pit is worse than the ability to shoot three points, and he doesn't shoot without three points, and he throws it to death instead.

Blake and Fisher are already the Lakers' best three-point shooters, but there are a lot of above-average three-point shooters, Blake, Shannon-Brown, Odom, and Artest all have at least 35 percent three-point shooting rate and shoot more than 0.8 three-pointers per game.

Big Gasol just smashed the ball into the basket, and Jordan Jr., who landed after being shaken away, didn't make any other moves, and immediately turned around and picked up the ball and sent it to Sun Ce, and the Grizzlies started a fast attack!

No matter how strong Gasol's ability to play alone is, it is impossible to score every time, so the Grizzlies must improve their offensive success rate! Whether the Lakers score or not, they will start fast!

This is not quite the same as the defensive counterattack that Coach Hollins wants, it seems that it has never been the same, but now he is not yelling on the sidelines like he did at the beginning of the season, he has to be calm, leave it to the players to solve it themselves, and can't lose to the opposite pretending criminal!

Coach Hollins used to like to yell on the sidelines, which more or less affected the determination of the players, such as this kind of pure running that seems extremely unreliable.

And what you need is an indomitable impact!

Now Coach Hollins carefully studies the strategy and starts from the overall situation, which is an important reason why the run-and-bomb lineup led by Sun Ce is getting better and better.

The Lakers want to press the rhythm, and they are also pressing the rhythm, but Sun Ce doesn't care so much, he has the opportunity to rely on the double emperor to grab the rebound and counterattack, and the Lakers will also fight back when they score, no matter what.

And tonight's Yi Jianlian's setter and cut are excellent, Jordan Jr. has scored 8 points and performed extremely well, as well as Morrow, who has been very strong in three-point performance in recent times, and Paul George, who likes to cut in counterattacks......

The Grizzlies have the upper hand!

The Grizzlies have maintained a very high shooting rate during this time, and just as Sun Ce expected, little Jordan can't prevent Big Gasol Yes, but Big Gasol can't score without a ball, and he plays like that without a ball, not to mention Big Gasol, even Randolph can't hold it, and the Lakers began to focus on long-range shooting with team offense, and the shooting rate began to decline.

Once the Lakers can't shoot, it's the Grizzlies' world!

The Grizzlies played hard and tied the score with two minutes left! Moreover, the Zen master replaced Kobe Bryant and Barnes, but he couldn't stop the Grizzlies who were already running crazy!
