Two events popped up at once, plus the "King of the Opening Battle" in his career events, a total of three events, and Sun Ce felt the pressure suddenly increase.
It's a bit of a hassle to dunk Anthony Davis twice and to cap Anthony Davis twice.
The two new events are not as penalizing as the "King of the Opener" loses by as many points as the slump, however, there are two problems.
If you fail, will you not be able to make up 5 shards in the future?
Even if there will be new events in the future, it will also delay his grandson's upgrade of those two skills that are very important to him, and the skill of error has long been integrated into his playing style, so naturally the stronger the bonus, the better.
The skill of dribbling behind the back and turning around and shooting is not triggered very often, but when it is time to use it and use it, it is still very powerful, and the higher the bonus is of course better.
However, anyway, I must try my best to win, looking at the strong lineup of my own team, looking at the honors, looking at the name, there is no 12-13 season with Nash, the best defensive player Gasol Jr., Batyr, and ...... So strong when those guys were so strong, Pierce and Carter, Stoudemire, Richard Jefferson and others were all old.
But their brothers on the outside have become stronger!
The structure of the squad will definitely change with his career, and this Sun Ce has long been mentally prepared, and he has been preparing for a changing career in terms of ability.
They Grizzlies have lineup changes, and there are also opposite sides, just go up and play and it's over!
……
On the Pelicans' side, Irving, Eric Gordon, Quincy Poundset, Anthony Davis, Valanciunas started the lineup.
Ryan Anderson continues to play the sixth man.
After Owen came on the court, looking at Sun Ce who walked to the side of the middle line on the opposite side, Owen found that this guy's eyes had changed! It's not as calm as when I said hello, and it's back to the kind of eyes I wanted to beat when I saw them a few years ago!
Owen said that Sun Ce, a cautious guy, how could he be so generous! Sure enough, it's pretending, I want their champion brothers to relax their vigilance!
In the middle circle, Aldridge and Valanciunas face to face, Aldridge has never played center so happily, not to mention how good his teammates are, after joining the Grizzlies, he walked casually on the road, and waves of fans asked him for photos and autographs.
In the past, it wasn't that there were no fans asking for autographs in Portland, but now there are so many, and the exposure is completely different! The enthusiasm of the fans is also unmatched by the Portlanders.
On the other side, Valanciunas, he really has no problem with being traded, he was traded to the Grizzlies last season and accepted the arrangement to play on the bench, but it doesn't mean that he wants to play on the bench, these are two different things.
By 7 p.m., the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game and threw the ball into the air...... Aldridge won the jump ball from Valanciunas with ease, and the Grizzlies took the lead.
The first attack went to the newcomer, Sun Ce went to the right corner, Klay Thompson to the right 45-degree corner, Randolph pulled to the right baseline, and Paul George passed the ball to Anthony Davis on the left free throw line in the three-second zone by Aldridge.
Single-defense Aldridge, Anthony Davis is no less pressure than single-defense Randolph, Aldridge leaned on Anthony Davis, turned around and grabbed the ball!
Anthony Davis immediately posted it, very keen on the cylinder, and didn't give Aldridge a chance to foul, but Aldridge passed! Pass to the right baseline!
Sun Ce stepped out to catch the ball, and when he landed, he was in a low position in the three-second zone! Valanciunas, who originally saw Sun Ce cut in, directly got out of the way, and Sun Ce jumped up and easily scored two points.
The Pelicans feel that they have a chance to defend the inside, but they can't guard Sun Ce!
When Aminu is there, he can give Sun Ce a lot of interference, the kind of player with excellent athleticism, good height and arm span, and good defensive awareness, is a type of defensive player who is more restrained by Sun Ce.
But this summer, in order to get Asik, they gave up Aminu's bird rights to make room, and used the middle class exception in order to renew the contract of Lopets, who only has early bird rights.
But Aminu is at least in the middle class, and finally went to the Mavericks to sign a full middle-class short contract with an average annual average of 6.1 million US dollars for 1+1 years.
Quincy Bondset is a very good 3D player, but good use does not mean excellent, otherwise it would not be the base salary, just say that he listens to the arrangement, has a clear mind, works hard defensively, has a good grasp of open shooting, and dares to fight very tenacious, but that's it, ability is the ability of a base salary player.
Sun Ce judged in the first round that the opponent's reinforcements this summer may be purposeful, but it may not be good, and the rotation of Moro and Aminu is all let go because they can't afford to pay money.
The Pelicans' defense is obviously not as good as last season, but it's not the same on the offensive end!
Irving borrowed Anthony Davis to break away from Paul George's defense, burst into close range, took a step forward in the face of Sun Ce's backdribble, and turned around with the signature backdribble on the right baseline...... Hit!
This goal seems to be scored by Irving's personal ability, and it does have something to do with Irving's personal ability, but Anthony Davis's cutting line after the block, Valanciunas's mid-range containment, and Eric Gordon's movement...... helped Owen free up space, since Sun Ce is a supplementary defense, there will naturally be a time difference, Owen took advantage of this time difference to come to the shooting area he wanted, and completed the rhythm adjustment and action preparation before shooting.
At the beginning of the game, the two teams entered a confrontation state, with Paul George as the offensive initiation point on the Grizzlies, and Aldridge's high back play at the left free throw line distance in the three-second zone as the containment point, and the pass cut coordinated.
Sun Ce's off-ball running position cut into the shot or attack the frame, and the pinch ball after receiving the ball, played very well.
The Pelicans can feel the change in the Grizzlies' tactics from the first time they play the Grizzlies this year, and Sun Ce plays more easily!
But it's not just the Pelicans who don't defend well, the Grizzlies don't defend well.
The Pelicans are missing a small forward who can defend because of the lack of a small forward, and the Pelicans can't defend it from the moment the Grizzlies launch an offense with Sun Ce as the end point and the goal of the point of making the ball.
On the other side, the Pelicans' offense is also very direct, which is to play their four starters, Irving, Anthony Davis, Eric Gordon, Valanciunas.
Eric Gordon has a single hand, Valanciunas is not outstanding in scoring, but he is full, and he can keep up with the speed, mid-range shooting, pie-eating, and low-post singles......
The biggest improvement is still Anthony Davis! is only 21 years old and will only turn 22 in March next year, but Sun Ce feels that Anthony Davis already has the strength to average 25 points per game!
Excellent! Without the ghostly roar of his template, I really want to say, Anthony Davis plays very low-key, honestly does his own thing, and is always in the most suitable position when attacking, shooting, cutting, and running...... Everything is well done.
But tonight's best performance was Owen! Irving's scoring ability has been the league's first line since his sophomore year, and he has a trait that the stronger his teammates, the more he can use his teammates' containment to score.
Although he doesn't have Sun Ce's ability to use the strength of his teammates to glue the team together, he is very similar to Sun Ce in this regard!
After all, Irving was the only All-Star-level player in the original time and space who could average an upward trend in points per game when he was in James' prime.
After playing 6 minutes and 28 seconds in the first quarter, Irving scored 9 points and 1 assist, helping the Pelicans go on a 19-15 run in a little more than half a quarter!
The Grizzlies really can't defend it, in addition to Irving's good play, Anthony Davis and Valanciunas' excellent ability to find scoring opportunities, which played a role in diverting the team, and the most important thing is that the Grizzlies have a lot of fouls!
Aldridge, Randolph, and Paul George got fouls and gave the opponent free throws!
……
Entering the official timeout, Sun Ce watched the opponent score 19 points on 7-of-11 shooting and 5-of-6 free throws in a little more than half a quarter without making a single three-pointer...... It's a bit too explosive.
The tacit understanding on the offensive side came quickly, Sun Ce had a connection with Aldridge at the beginning, and the rhythm was okay, but the tacit understanding on the defensive end was insufficient, and the two of them didn't defend very well, they didn't have too good defense, they were all single-defense, the key was that the fouls were blown tightly, and the defense was even worse.
At the beginning of the season, the referee wanted the players to adapt to the rules as soon as possible, so according to the new rules, everything that should be blown was blown, which is a situation that will occur every time the rules are changed, and as the season progresses, the blowing penalty will not be so severe.
Fortunately, the game had just begun, and when we were four points behind, we called a timeout in time.
There was no timeout on either side, the Grizzlies were confident, even if they were behind, they still had the confidence to be a strong team, and the Pelicans were ahead, so there was no timeout.
Coach Hollins replaced Paul George and Aldridge with Carter and Larry Sanders, with Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, and Randolph.
……
Sun Ce looked at the combination of Irving, Eric Gordon, Babbitt, Ryan Anderson, and Anthony Davis on the opposite side and knew that trouble was up.
Just as he would be fully prepared and energetic when he played the Pelicans, the Grizzlies always played well when they met them, and they were fully prepared every time.
In the last two meetings of last season, the Pelicans almost beat their Grizzlies, and both times he won by his grandson, and the combination of the two did work well together, just like the combination of Ginobili + Garnett.
But they finally have a combination of Randolph and Larry Sanders!
At the end of the timeout, the Grizzlies attacked first, Sun Ce received a serve from the center and passed to Randolph in the low post on the left side of the three-second zone, Randolph easily carried Ryan Anderson, and Anthony Davis received the pinch.
Randolph, who already had a good understanding with Larry Sanders, looked back at the moon in the two-man bag, and the riotous action was matched with a soft touch, and the pass was just right, and Larry Sanders, who cut next to Anthony Davis, pressed the ball into the basket and scored two points.
In terms of coordination, Randolph's cooperation with Larry Sanders is much better than that of Randolph with Aldridge.
A very beautiful offense, when it came to the Pelicans' offense, after Irving advanced to the frontcourt, he obviously felt a completely different sense of defensive pressure from last season!
Carter was very active with Babbitt's off-ball run, Sun Ce was about a meter away from Eric Gordon, staying between Eric Gordon and the basket, ready to help, and Klay Thompson was in front of Irving.
That's not the point, it's about interior defense, and Larry Sanders doesn't suffer with speed next to Anthony Davis!
If Paul George had been there and had removed Carter, Irving would have felt like the strongest defensive team he had been in his sophomore years against Anthony Davis was back!
However, the current Anthony Davis is not the Anthony Davis of two years ago, Irving continues to find Anthony Davis to block and dismantle, and after Irving breaks through with the pick-and-roll, he is in the defensive range of Sun Ce and Larry Sanders, and is cut off from the passing and receiving route with Ryan Anderson.
It's completely different, Aldridge and Randolph's interior combination can only say that the defensive end is not a black hole, and it can't deal with Anthony Davis, so it can only focus on defense, and let Sun Ce change the defense to make up for Irving, in the face of Irving, who feels so good tonight, Sun Ce can't change defense.
But now, the two are holding Irving well, and Anthony Davis is not in a good position, and the favorable position is occupied by Randolph.
Irving didn't hesitate, no good chances, teammates will create good chances on their own, Irving burst to the right baseline and was blocked by Larry Sanders and Sun Ce, and immediately passed to Anthony Davis, who cut into the middle of the left touchline in the three-second zone.
The Grizzlies' outside rotation defense was carried out immediately, Sun Ce expanded to Babbitt in the direction of the top arc, Carter switched to Ryan Anderson on the left sideline, Anthony Davis received the ball and had no setter opportunity, he chose to take a step against Randolph and jump!
Larry Sanders quickly retracts from Irving, Randolph holds up to Anthony Davis, Larry Sanders pounces on the interference!
Very nice team defense, however, Anthony Davis had anticipated it for a long time and was ready to change hands when he took off, switching the ball to his left hand in the air, dodging Larry Saunders' interference and forcing a throw......
"Smack"
Sun Ce, who ran out and ran to the free throw line and immediately retracted, slapped the ball that had just left Anthony Davis' left hand away!
The ball "bang" was fanned by Sun Ce and bounced out on the rebound, and Sun Ce grabbed the ball himself!
From Irving's pass to Sun Ce's block, it was less than three seconds, Irving didn't even have time to remind, Sun Ce turned around and retracted at the free throw line too suddenly, no one expected that Sun Ce would take it back when there were Randolph and Larry Sanders under the basket, you must know that this pair was once the most surprising interior defensive combination in the 2012-2013 season.
Sun Ce, who won the rebound, turned around sharply and counterattacked!
To prevent Sun Ce from counterattacking, the teams in the league with good defensive discipline are already prepared, when Anthony Davis made a strong shot, the other four have already begun to retreat, Anthony Davis was ready to block Sun Ce when he jumped up and grabbed the ball that bounced back after Sun Ce landed, and did not let Sun Ce counterattack at the first time, but Sun Ce's start far exceeded Anthony Davis's expectations, and he seemed to have reached the fastest speed as soon as Sun Ce stepped out!
In terms of explosive speed, Anthony Davis is not lost to Sun Ce...... Fight back against Sun Ce in the past!
The King of Counter Push is triggered!
It's not Anthony Davis's illusion, Sun Ce grabbed the rebound and counterattacked, and met the trigger conditions of the king of counterattack advancement, and he could directly increase the speed to the fastest!
The Pelicans players who retreated from defense are already familiar with Sun Ce, and they have been very clear about how to prevent Sun Ce from counterattacking last season, but this time they were still caught off guard.
Sun Ce rushed all the way to the opponent's free throw line, took a step to easily dodge Luke Babbitt who pounced in a panic, entered the inside line and jumped, and scored two points with a light dunk.
The players on the Pelicans' side found that Sun Ce had improved again!
Sun Ce also triggered this effect a few times during the playoffs last year, but the Warriors and Spurs were clearly stronger than this Pelicans, Sun Ce failed to fight back too successfully, and the two teams were especially afraid of their Grizzlies' offense, and they had to drag the tempo into a positional battle no matter what.
But the Pelicans can't do it, and maybe it would be better with Aminu, but now they can't!
Before Owen could stand up for the defense, he received the serve and advanced, and the feeling of thousands of alpacas running by in his heart was too mad for him!
Owen, who was advancing, saw Sun Ce, who was retreating, and high-fived the inside twin towers who were cooperating with the defense just now...... Irving feels like he's been more technically sophisticated and improved significantly this past summer, not as fast as Anthony Davis, but faster than any other player in his age group.
But Sun Ce, a guy who is more than two years older than him, seems to be progressing faster than him!
In terms of his Owen's physical fitness, there has been little improvement in the past two years, but Sun Ce's athletic ability seems to have improved again, I don't know if it is because the starting power habits have been adjusted or what, but it has improved!
Irving even feels like Anthony Davis is not improving as fast as Sun Ce!
