Sun Ce has always felt that the Lakers are invincible in the league now, but seeing the Mavericks start...... It doesn't seem to be much worse.

Kidd A+, Josh Howard A, Sean Marion A-Class, Dirk Nowitzki S-Class, Eric Dampier C+.

Four defensive masters with Nowitzki, Nowitzki has good enough tonnage and movement ability, and it is still okay to prevent centers and power forwards who don't shoot, and the C+ level defense is not a black hole, barely strong, and he can still have a few blocks and a few steals every year in his young years.

But such a lineup...... Sun Ce can't understand it, how was he beaten by the Nuggets last season? Sun Ce also watched a game between the Mavericks and the Nuggets during the playoffs last year, and he really played according to the rhythm, under the control of Billups' rhythm, Anthony beat the Mavericks out, and even the most Kidd of Billups couldn't recover the decline.

Then the Mavericks' roster has to be experienced, it's going to have quality, and there's Jason Terry, last season's sixth man of the year, on the bench!

It's a puzzling thing.

Just when Sun Ce was confused, the referee motioned for the others to leave the field, and the game was about to start.

Today's game is the only U.S. broadcast by the Grizzlies scheduled for December, and the game will be broadcast live by Time Warner Cable Sports.

On the Grizzlies' side, Battier came, Anthony Parker naturally returned to the bench, and the two popular veterans humbled each other, and finally Battier accepted the starting position as if he was embarrassed.

Conley, Battier, Gay, Randolph and Gasol Jr. started the game.

Sun Ce compared the lineup on the opposite side, his side and the opposite side are really similar!

The power forward is responsible for singles, the point guard is the person who controls the thunder, the front guard line is the two defensive masters, and the center is also defense-oriented......

At half past five, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game, and Gasol Jr. won the jump ball on the head of the aging Dampier!

Randolph dropped to the low post on the first shot, squeezing Nowitzki on the edge of the three-second zone to ask for the ball.

Battier went to the same corner, Gasol Jr. took a step outside the free throw line to open up space, Guy went to the other sideline for mid-range, and Conley hoisted the ball to Randolph.

Randolph hit Nowitzki, relaxed, happy, turned around directly for a layup, and after missing, he grabbed the offensive rebound and put the basket, and in the miss, Randolph ran Novitzki to get the offensive rebound, his hand shook, and finally scored......

Dampier can't stop this hob meat when he comes in! It's too slippery, and the prediction of rebounding is ...... Enough to fight one against two!

Randolph got 2 points and 2 rebounds in one round!

Seeing this scene, Sun Ce felt envious......

Offense and defense transition, Mavericks offense.

The Grizzlies were quick to retreat, not giving Marion and Josh Howard a chance to counter on the wings and Kidd to respond with long passes.

However, the Mavericks' side is not as anxious as last season, and the Mavericks were completely played by the Nuggets in the playoffs last season, no way, it was the first year that coach Rick Carlisle took over the Mavericks, and it has been more than a year to slowly change, and at this stage, the Mavericks control the rhythm better than before.

After Randolph came back from the defense, he saw that Nowitzki stopped in the middle distance when he arrived in the frontcourt, and was just about to paste it, Battler patted Randolph and pointed to Marion in the bottom corner, Randolph didn't expect Battler to defend Nowitzki, but Battler's command, he still had to listen, nine years ago that summer, he didn't dare to forget the grace of a meal, especially Randolph, who was born in this slum block.

And Marion used to play power forward, and the two have faced each other many times, and there is no problem, especially now Marion's speed is not as good as his peak.

Even if the defense is changed, there is no problem for the Grizzlies, just use Marion as a power forward and Nowitzki as a small forward, and there is still a defense that should be there.

Kidd advanced to the frontcourt, and it was clear at a glance that the Grizzlies' group of young men were really good defensively, and they could only play a team offense after using the strongest point to chisel and chisel out the threat just now.

Kidd motioned for Nowitzki to catch the ball, and Nowitzki jammed Battier and received Kidd's pass.

But what...... Not as smooth as expected, Nowitzki's defense against Battier seemed to ...... I don't want to have too much contact!

Nowitzki turned and threw a jumper......

"Bang ......"

Iron!

Crooked!

Gasol Jr. jammed Dampier and took the rebound!

Sun Ce felt weird when he saw Battier going to defend Nowitzki, and even more strange when he saw Novis' shot selection!

Enovitzki may be second only to Kevin Garnett and Stoudemire in the big forward position, Nowitzki did not choose to break through in the face of Battier, who was much thinner than him, and even the Golden Rooster did not have an independent backward jumper, and he couldn't get rid of Battier's defense and threw it directly!

And Sun Ce also saw Kidd's stunned expression, obviously not expecting Nowitzki to play this ball so unreliable.

When it came to the Grizzlies' offense, this time Gasol Jr. received the ball and didn't shoot.

However, when the Mavericks attacked, Nowitzki missed the second single...... Battier opened the game very well with Nowitzki's defense! Better than expected!

……

The offensive efficiency of the starting lineup on the Grizzlies' side is really not good, but the Mavericks also played badly offensively at the beginning, mainly because it was unexpected by Kidd at the beginning, and Nowitzki faced Battier and failed to open the situation!

After a few rounds, the Mavericks only scored the only field goal with Josh Howard's rebound, and Nowitzki caused Battier to foul 2 of 2 free throws and only scored 4 points!

Nowitzki can't threaten, Kidd can't organize an attack! And the counterattack can't be played! If Marion were three years younger, he could still play counter-attacks, but Marion is now a pure 3-and-D player, and he really doesn't really make much of a difference except for defense and open threes!

After four minutes of play, the Grizzlies led by 5 points 9-4, and the Mavericks called a timeout!

Sun Ce finally understood why the coaching staff said in the team meeting that their starters had more advantages, because the other party seemed to have overturned all the tactics that had been played, and the team lineup was not a rebuilding lineup, but from the perspective of system and tactics, the Mavericks were a team that was being rebuilt!

And the key is not the system and tactics rebuilding, but Nowitzki, it seems that none of the players on the Mavericks' side expected him to play so badly, and the opponent's tactics are almost stagnant...... Or that after 4 minutes of playing in the opening game, the opponent didn't play tactics at all!

And about this...... Sun Ce guessed...... Nowitzki seems to have a psychological shadow on this kind of fast-moving defender with an extended front!
