762. See Iron and Blood Wars Again! (Chapter 2 5K+)

Playing the Clippers, many people in the Grizzlies have a revenge mentality, Jordan Jr. needless to say, he is just an outcast abandoned by the Clippers last season, there are too many such outcasts in the Clippers, the Clippers have abandoned Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson, Brand, Margety, Livingston, Mobley, Radmanovic over the years...... Including Randolph.

Talented young players are at their fingertips for the Clippers, and it's predictable that the Clippers are now exploding with talent to bloated Eric Gordon, Bledsoe, Foye, Gomez, Aminu, Rasol Butler...... Waiting for a bunch of outside lines, most of them will be abandoned, and Carman on the inside is estimated to be unable to run, in order to correct Griffin's first inside position, Kaman, who needs the ball, is bound to be abandoned.

And maybe the Clippers won't ask for anything in return and dump these guys, just like Jordan Jr. was dumped last season, probably just to pay a little less.

This is what Jordan Jr. hates the Clippers the most, if he uses the Bangyan Show to trade like Sun Ce, Sun Ce wants to fight the Warriors to get back face at most, not to mention hatred, but Jordan Jr. feels that his self-esteem has been hurt.

Every time he plays the Clippers, Jordan Jr. will do his best.

Randolph was as unhappy as he was in half a season with the Clippers, and his chubby heart was not as big as his size.

For others, it's simple, the Clippers took advantage of their rotation last month to shoot them, and this time they naturally have to pay it back, the Grizzlies have been defending with all their might from the beginning of this game, the kind that fought hard.

Gasol Jr. took a rest, and the Grizzlies' positional defense was weaker, so the high-intensity pressing rotation defense used from the beginning, and the Clippers' disorganized offense, were turned upside down by the Grizzlies.

How oppressive is it? Griffin made 14 free throws in the third quarter...... But only 8 out of 14! The free throw shooting rate of more than 5 percent is obviously not enough to really cause damage, even if the Grizzlies Gasol Jr. is rested, there are Randolph, Yi Jianlian, Jordan Jr., Haddadi and even Battier and Sam Young can come up and foul, Griffin just slashes hard with the ball, and there is no need to defend Griffin from the defensive tactical aspect, focus on defending others.

So, on the basis of the first quarter, the Grizzlies stretched the difference to 19 points at halftime, and by the end of the third quarter, the score had been ......

The scores of the two teams were lower than the first quarter, and when it came to the rotation stage, the Grizzlies did not let go of the Clippers, continuing to maintain high-intensity defense, and the Grizzlies' own offense was also affected, scoring 27 points in the first quarter, only 23 points in the second quarter, and only 21 points in the third quarter.

However, the Clippers were even worse, scoring 16 points in the first quarter, 15 points in the second quarter, and only 14 points in the third quarter, and the difference was stretched to 26 points!

Griffin played 25 minutes in the third quarter, only made 6 successful shots, 2-of-6 shooting, one of which was still a frustrated three-point shot, 8-of-14 free throws, and was replaced with 13 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

Griffin feels like the whole world is targeting him! After All-Star Weekend, he was targeted even worse! When it came to playing the Grizzlies, this kind of targeting reached its extreme......

Griffin has an advantage, he rarely has malicious revenge actions, just watching him be knocked down again and again, but I have never seen him fight back with the same action, because he is strong enough, this kind of action is difficult to make him hurt, and the big injury that he will become a floor stream in the future is not a sports injury or an injury by an opponent, but a sitting on the prince's ass.

However, this kind of honest person, so honest that he doesn't know how much he is hated by his opponent, and often his opponent will catch him and kill him.

His offensive moves are really disgusting to his opponents, and he doesn't know it yet, enjoying the preferential treatment that the league has to offer.

The ancients said that hateful people must have pathetic suffering, which is Griffin's state of mind, but poor people always have something to hate, and it is not unreasonable for opponents to hate him.

In this game, Sun Ce played 31 minutes in the first three quarters, playing more time, Coach Hollins arranged for him to hold the ball for a long time, and there were many shooting opportunities, 31 minutes of full shots, 4 of 6 free throws, and 24 points, 8 boards, 5 assists, 6 blocks, 4 times 5 data, he was too big, only got two steals, otherwise he could have a lot of opportunities to borrow teammates to press and defend the opponent to make steals when the opponent was forced to pass, for example, Mr. Tony did a good job, He made five steals in 21 minutes of playing time.

Sun Ce's 6 blocks + Tony's 5 steals completely wrote the Grizzlies' defensive intensity in this game.

The Clippers team was fanned hard by Sun Ce on the inside, and his teammates were stuck, and he was sorry for himself if he didn't fan.

Tony Allen made eight turnovers on the outside with Mad Dog-style pressing and stealing, and Tony Allen made two steals on both frontal steals for Mo Williams.

As a result, the Grizzlies played an amazing pressing defense in the absence of Gasol Jr., causing the Clippers to score only 45 points in the third quarter!

Sun Ce scored 24 points and the highest in the third quarter, the second highest was actually Jordan Jr., who grabbed 5 offensive rebounds and scored two offenses, Griffin and Carman, Diogu, and Jeron Collins' interior defense was like nothing, and Jordan Jr. also got a lot of opportunities to cut directly to the basket, plus 2 of 3 free throws, and scored 21 points in the third quarter!

After the third quarter, Conley pressed the lineup, Moreau, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, and Haddadi went up to brush the data, and the game entered garbage time.

In the end, the score was fixed, and the Grizzlies beat the Clippers by 30 points, avenging the upset last month.

……

The Clippers scored only 66 points in a single game, and the Clippers did not score more than 50 points in the first three quarters, and none of the first three quarters scored more than 20 points.

However, this kind of picture is popular with fans, and the scorching battle is beautiful, but this kind of bloody slaughter is also a good pastime.

But this kind of picture actually appeared twice in one night!

After the Grizzlies and Clippers game, the Lakers host the Spurs at the same Staples Center.

The Spurs did not have a rotation in this game, and the troika came out together, but ......

After the first three quarters, the Lakers led the Spurs by 34 points!

Odom played 31 minutes and got 16 points and 5 assists, Pau Gasol played 24 minutes and got 21 points and 4 assists, Bynum played 27 minutes and got the board, and the three joined hands to blow up the Spurs in the first three quarters!

Facing the Spurs, the Lakers' interior advantage was vividly displayed, a certain blacksmith was almost shouting for the three towers in the first three quarters, holding his thighs properly, and he was replaced and rested only by scoring 13 points on 5-of-5 shooting from the inside threat.

The last quarter turned into complete garbage time, and the Spurs came off the bench in garbage time, but Iverson and Richard Jefferson dared to fight in garbage time, and they beat the Lakers in the last quarter, and finally lost to the Lakers, which didn't look like they lost so badly.

But Sun Ce, who returned to the hotel to watch the game, was shocked by the Lakers' performance after the All-Star weekend.

8 wins in a row! The Lakers are on an eight-game winning streak after All-Star Weekend!

The Grizzlies just got a wave of 5 consecutive wins, and their record improved to a loss, and the Lakers actually chased the loss.

This brought a lot of pressure to Sun Ce, he knew that the Lakers were strong, and he also had a little impression that the half of the schedule after the All-Star Weekend in the 10-11 season was the last strong Lakers in the Kobe era, but he didn't expect the Lakers to be strong enough to beat the Spurs by more than 30 points in the third quarter.

Sun Ce can remember this because after the Lakers brutalized the Spurs, the Big Three of the Heat were beaten by the Spurs and cried in the locker room...... The difference is exactly 30 points.

One thing is one thing, the Zen master is a good hand at dealing with the Jazz's pick-and-roll, and now he has encountered a large number of Spurs who use the pick-and-roll, and the more he plays, the better he gets.

Sun Ce felt that if it weren't for the old Buss who was old and faint and handed over the power of the team to his younger son instead of his eldest daughter, if it weren't for the Zen master's greed, the Lakers would not have collapsed so suddenly, and it would definitely be the biggest obstacle for the Spurs system to reach its peak...... It will also become a good partner for his grandson to snipe the Spurs.

After the game of both teams was played, the Grizzlies who abused the Clippers did not cause much turmoil, and the heat in less than two hours was snatched away by the Lakers.

Sun Ce had one more reason to hate blacksmiths...... This girl grabs the headlines!

As the saying goes, how can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet, Sun Ce used to grab the headlines, and now he has also tasted the taste of the headlines being robbed, a certain No. 24 player who did not want to be named saw the news after the game, and his mouth was about to crack with laughter.

……

……

After playing two consecutive away games, Sun Ce and his teammates returned to Memphis with a negative record, only two and a half wins away from the Spurs, the only team in the league with 50+ wins, the Spurs currently played 58 games, and after losing to the Lakers, the Spurs' record became 50-8.

But the Grizzlies also have a two-and-a-half-game lead over the Lakers, and are only two and a half wins away from the Mavericks, who have won nine straight games after the All-Star weekend.

The Mavericks are currently playing 60 games and getting losses, the Lakers are in Hurricane mode after All-Star Weekend, and the Mavericks are no different! Although the Mavericks are only fifth in the West, they are only half a win away from the Lakers, who are third in the West.

Sun Ce returned home and looked at the latest scouting report, his head was big!

The Grizzlies found that the Spurs' ambition was not to win the regular season, and when they felt that they had a chance to hit the top of the league, other teams would naturally not let go of this opportunity, and the Lakers and Mavericks both rushed to the first place in the league.

The battle between the strong teams, Sun Ce only had a preliminary contact last season, and it was passive, the Mavericks "took the initiative" to pick them to play, Sun Ce slightly felt the battle of the strong team at the end of the season, not only the game, but also involved strategy, psychological games and so on.

This season, Sun Ce's Grizzlies team has also become a strong team in the eyes of people, and it has indeed become a strong team, and Sun Ce has also begun to feel the pressure of a real strong team.

It's really not as simple as a simple game, in the final analysis, the Grizzlies only played 12 games in the regular season with the West direct rival Hu Ma Niu combined, the Grizzlies are currently focusing on the West Finals, and the East side can't be controlled for the time being.

However, the decisive factor in the competition of the strong teams is not the 12 games against them, but more battles.

Sometimes, just seeing the brutal performance of those direct competitors can create a huge psychological pressure.

Especially when competitors are approaching step by step, the pressure is even greater.

However, Sun Ce was mentally prepared when he set his sights on the regular season MVP award, which is not destined to be an easy thing.

That night, Wang Keying, who felt the pressure of Sun Ce, took the initiative to get into the quilt from the foot of the bed after Sun Ce took a bath and lay down on the bed, heading towards the little overlord......

……

……

Back in Memphis for a night's rest, on April 8, the Grizzlies hosted a game against the Hawks, who are currently seventh in the East and not far from losing to the Knicks, who want to overtake the Knicks before Stoudemire returns.

After the All-Star weekend, CNN broke the news that Stoudemire has been recovering well recently and is expected to return before April and can prepare for the playoffs, giving the Knicks players great confidence, and the Knicks have a lot of stable records after entering March, maintaining a 5% winning rate, relying on the good record played in January, the Knicks have not fallen out of the strong team now.

Originally, in time and space, if the Grizzlies were the western-stirring sticks, the Hawks were the eastern-stirring sticks, the two teams had similar characteristics, both had the strength to reach the second round, but it was difficult to enter the top four in the division in the regular season, and the offense was poor, and it was difficult to win many games in the regular season, which made the scalp of those top four teams numb, and they couldn't wait to give them the top four.

The Grizzlies, who had a day off, sent an all-out main lineup in this game, with Sun Ce, Conley, Battier, Randolph, and Jordan Jr. teaming up.

The Hawks are also very strong on their side, after the All-Star weekend, they cut the veteran Mike Bibby, let the old Bibby who was thinking of going to Miami leave, and traded to get the Bulls' backup guard Hinrich, and corrected Jeff Teague, Seven games after the All-Star Weekend, Teague averaged 11 points and 5 assists per game, and performed well.

Teague is paired with the original Joe Johnson, Morris Evans, Josh Smith, and Horford, the lineup is very strong, and the bench also has Hinrich, the best sixth man favorite Jamal Crawford, the swingman Marvin Williams, who averages 10 points and 4 boards per game, and Zaza Pachuria, a veteran of the 03 generation who is known for his dirty, with a 9-man rotation and strong strength.

The main thing is defense!

After the start of the game, the two teams quickly turned on the defensive confrontation mode.

The Grizzlies are averaging 97.1 points per game this season, a slight improvement of 0.3 points per game after All-Star Weekend, but almost reaching the Grizzlies' limit.

The Hawks, for their part, were even worse, averaging 96.1 points per game.

But both teams are conceding horrific points per game, with the Hawks giving up 95.2 points per game and the Grizzlies conceding just 89.4 points per game.

It's not that the Grizzlies are conceding 6 points less per game, but they must be better at defending the Hawks than the Hawks.

The Grizzlies were able to defend their opponents by averaging only 89.4 points per game because they defended well, and they only scored 96 points against the Clippers, not because the Clippers defended well, but because when they didn't break out, the overall offense was really poor......

As a result, the defensive effect of the Hawks against the Grizzlies tonight is not much different from the defensive effect of the Grizzlies against the Hawks!

Gasol Jr. and Horford's defense under the basket can't be said to be strong or weak, Horford moves better, defensive prediction is better, and Gasol Jr.'s defense has a better overall view and is taller, all of which are the kind of true-inside gates that can't be reflected in the defensive effect.

In terms of assistant defense players, the Grizzlies have Sun Ce, the Hawks have Josh Smith, Sun Ce averages 1.3 steals and 3.5 blocks per game, Josh Smith averages 1.7 steals and 1.9 blocks per game, and Sun Ce is slightly stronger in terms of defensive effect, but Josh Smith still has a single defense, and when he is the same height, Josh Smith can carry Randolph and change the defense of Sun Ce, from the first position to the fourth position, the speed and strength are enough!

In the first quarter, the two teams played a single quarter score, and even the Grizzlies fans on the scene dozed off.

The Grizzlies shot 7-of-21 from the field with a 33-percent shooting rate, and the Hawks shot 6-of-20 from the field with a 30-percent shooting rate. It's just like the two teams in the 2005 Finals.

Sun Ce got two blocks in the first quarter in a single quarter, and the Hawks did not block him to death like other teams, but first tested his touch, and saw that his hand felt at a normal level, so he defended him regularly, he relied on the threat of Randolph and Morrow and Jordan Jr., who came off the bench, and played 9 minutes in the first quarter with 2 shots and 2 shots, 1 of 2 free throws, and got 5 points, 4 boards, 1 assist and 2 blocks in the first quarter! It's just two turnovers in 9 minutes, more than assists.

In the second quarter, Sun Ce has been sitting on the sidelines to rest, Coach Hollins made rotation adjustments according to the situation on the court, Conley played the first 10 minutes of the second quarter, and Tony Allen, Paul George, Battier, and Gasol Jr. fought hard with the opposing team.

In the face of the lineup of Hinrich, Morris Evans, Joe Johnson, Marvin Williams, and Pachuria, Sun Ce was not there, and the Grizzlies' ability to assist in the interior defense became weaker, and Marvin Williams scored 9 points in 10 minutes, mainly because Joe Johnson sat in the low post and singled, attracting Gasol Jr.'s defense, Gasol Jr. went to make up Joe Johnson, no one can make up for it like Sun Ce, even if Gasol Jr. tries to return to his position, he can only block the lower road, Marvin Williams has a good hand, Catch the ball and throw high on the board in 10 minutes to shoot 4 of 5, including a 2+1!

In this quarter, the Grizzlies were in a backward stage, but fortunately, they defended the opponent's outside well, and Sun Ce returned to the court to play the last two minutes, and it did not have a good effect of chasing points.

At halftime, the Grizzlies trailed by five points heading into halftime.

Every team always has natural enemies, and Sun Ce feels that the Eagles are the natural enemies of their team! This kind of nine-man rotation and an even-strength squad is too difficult for them to play against! And they're different from the Spurs, they have real strong points.

After being beaten by the Grizzlies at the beginning of the season, the Hawks did a good job of defending and grinding well in this game, and the Hawks were able to lead the Grizzlies by 5 points at halftime and save 23 points in the second quarter, relying on the only player who performed normally when the Hawks played the Grizzlies last time, their star Joe Johnson.

Joe Johnson played 21 minutes in the half, shooting 4-of-10 and scoring 11 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists!

But to fight this kind of defensive battle, Sun Ce is not afraid! The whole team is not afraid! It's just right, win or lose first, who is the strongest defensive team is more important!
