106. Grow in the game (full 10W recommended votes plus more)
Sitting on the bench watching Curry, Margetty, Morrow, Kadir Martin, Turyaf and others play, Sun Ce was replaced and rested.
From the third minute to more than half of the eleventh minute, he played for nearly 9 minutes in a row, Sun Ce except for the first five minutes, the consumption in the next few minutes was very small, just go up to run at a normal speed, no need to accelerate and change direction, and picked up two rebounds, and finally ate a cake before going off the court, which was cool and crooked.
4 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists...... Sun Ce himself was surprised when he looked at this data!
Mainly thanks to the Suns' poor rebounding!
Last season, the Suns ranked sixth in the league in rebounds, and O'Neal averaged only 8.4 rebounds per game, but his huge size stood there and didn't need to do too many movements, and he was the best card player, and the effect was comparable to Yao Ming!
As soon as O'Neal left, the Suns ranked fifth from the bottom in the league in rebounds so far in the preseason...... Of course, if Stoudemire plays for a long time, he can be better, at least the offensive rebounding will be much better, and Sun Ce will not have so many opportunities to grab defensive rebounds.
On the Suns' side, Clark, Raymond Skye, Carlos Powell, Tyler Griffin, and Lopets Jr. played.
Clark rarely played, and as a result, Curry had 4 points and 1 assist in the last minute or so......
Clark's performance is fascinating!
Sun Ce looked at it from the sidelines and felt incredible.
Such good flexibility, such excellent ball control, and a lot of positivity, but always mistakes! And he didn't dare to rush inside, and rushing in was either a mistake or an iron, as if he didn't want to make physical contact with the inside player.
"Is it because the opponent's inside line has become stronger and he doesn't dare to enter the inside line?" Sun Ce guessed.
Don't say, Sun Ce guessed a few times and really guessed correctly, Clark used a stronger figure than most centers to play guard in college, but when it came to the NBA, even in the summer league, he found that most small forwards were physically stronger than him, let alone inside, although his template was Odom, but he didn't have the explosive physical fitness of Odom, but the technique and height were similar, he was much thinner than Odom when he was a rookie, and his speed and explosiveness were worse.
Clark tried hard to play well, but the more carefully he avoided his shortcomings, the worse he played.
I even doubted myself...... The key point is that no one reminded him, so he only did it himself with his head stuffy.
The NBA is a very realistic place, unless it is pleasing to the eye, the old players will help take care of it, and most rookies can only rely on themselves, as for the agent...... The broker is not responsible for this, and what if his opinion is not right?
At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors led by 10 points at 34-24 and went into the break.
……
At the beginning of the second quarter, Sun Ce was still put on the bench to rest.
Old Nelson knew that Sun Ce's physical strength was average, and he could only be regarded as a good level in the NBA, and he had enough time to play rotation, but he was still a little worse when he played as the main player.
Curry, Margetty, Devin George, Randolph, Hunter played.
On the Suns' side, Clark was replaced after playing more than a minute in the second quarter, which was too miserable, the offense was not good, and the defense could not be prevented.
White veterans Dan Decow, Richardson, Morris Cook, Eric Moreland, George Cowens played in the lineup.
It is not easy for Richardson to take four training camp contract teammates to slap Curry, Margety, and Randolph with the Warriors, and Coach Gentry wants to help Dragic find confidence, but if Sun Ce is not on the court, Coach Gentry still wants to investigate who to sign as a water cooler manager.
Margeti's style of play is called a ferocious, rushing in and dunking and never making a layup.
After a few rounds, the Suns replaced Dragic and Frye.
Dragic came up, and Curry also started to attack more individually.
Today's Curry makes Sun Ce feel very different, I don't know if it's an illusion, or the problem of that strange Kison Terry's green headband, the Prairie Library is a little floating!
Everything else is okay, the main thing is that the shooting is more confident, there are a lot of opportunities but not very good opportunities, Curry has shot, fortunately, it feels good today, Curry plus Randolph, Margeti, and Dragic, Frye's blocking and dismantling fight is impressive.
Dragic is indeed very good, a second-year second-round pick player can have such a performance, but Sun Ce's side can be so good as a second-round rookie, which makes Suns fans very reluctant, and Suns fans substitute the performance of Sun Ce in the curtain call last season.
In fact, in this game alone, Dragic played no worse than Sun Ce.
The point is that Sun Ce is just a rookie, while Dragic is a slow-improving and accumulating type of player.
When the official timeout reached the second quarter, the Warriors led the Suns by 12 points 47-35!
Watson had been waiting for a long time, but Nelson Sr. still hadn't called his name.
The lineup of Sun Ce, Curry, Morrow, Kadir Martin, and Tolivier was replaced.
On the Suns' side, the lineups of Dragic, Barbosa, Dudley, Frye, and Lopets Jr. were replaced.
The two teams are still lineups with backup point guards as the core.
Grievances?
Sun Ce and Dragic don't have a grudge, they are just pushed to become opponents.
But they are already opponents, and the two are unceremoniously and continue to fight to the death!
Sun Ce watched his teammates play for more than six minutes after playing most of the first quarter and the second quarter, summed up what he played well and badly, and after re-entering the game, his style of play became clearer.
Lead the counterattack, positional warfare, if necessary, give the ball to the teammates who are stronger in singles and try to find opportunities to cut in, and play more blocks and dismantles if they can, and avoid the problem of insufficient confrontation.
In addition, on the defensive end, if you can defend it, you can quickly retract the basket to receive the serve, and at the same time try your best to grab the rebound when your teammates are stuck.
Sun Ce is doing his best to show all his strengths.
Fighting, Sun Ce has already thrown himself into the game!
On Dragic's side, positional battles and attacks are his strongest at this stage.
Your back-and-forth battle is back and forth!
At the end of the first half, Sun Ce got 8 points, 7 boards and 4 assists!
In the second half of the second quarter, Sun Ce's assists were less, only 1 assist in more than 5 minutes, because Curry played well today, Barbosa was good at defending without the ball, and couldn't prevent Curry who threw away, Sun Ce chose to handle the ball rather than dominate the offense, and gave the ball more to Curry, but played well, which he learned when he partnered with Reggie Williams.
However, the overall strength of the Suns is still stronger, the role players are better, and the score is much recovered by Dragic's pick-and-roll offense.
At halftime, the Suns were 51-59 and narrowed the gap to 8 points!
Old Nelson looked at Sun Ce's keen judgment of the situation on the field, and felt incredible, not like a rookie!
