1613. The Strongest Soldier! (5000 words for subscription)

Sun Ce is excited! Whiteside's use of physical fitness when grabbing rebounds is too exaggerated, in addition to being 5 kilograms thinner than Whiteside, the opposite Giang is not inferior to Whiteside's physical fitness, and his athleticism is stronger, but he was eaten to death by Whiteside! In terms of the use of the body and the timing of the exertion, Whiteside is much better than Jean.

This is not a poor rebounding game for Jean, Giang has played an average of 13 minutes per game this season, averaging 5 boards per game, and if he plays more than 20 minutes per game, not to mention averaging 10 boards per game, he will definitely have 7-9 rebounds per game.

Although it was only one goal, it was obvious that Whiteside was overpowering Gion in terms of rebounding.

Moreover, Sun Ce was also very confused, whether it was blocking or passing, Whiteside's position judgment and vision were not good.

But the sense of position when grabbing rebounds and the judgment of teammates' movements are very good!

Whiteside grabbed the offensive rebound and got an assist that the stats won't count, so he was very excited, and he felt like he could do it this time!

Giang is very good in the class of 2013 rookies, especially in the lottery show, and is currently regarded as one of the most talented interior players in the class of 2013.

Although Dieng is not particularly good at the moment, he is also a rotational center for Western Conference playoff-caliber teams, and Whiteside judged that he had an advantage against Dieng, so his confidence naturally increased.

It's not that Whiteside feels better when he returns to the NBA, the confidence is building up little by little, it's just that his physical gifts, his awareness, and the things he showed in his freshman year are still there.

Whiteside's freshman year was not bad, All-American Defensive Player, Rookie of the Year, three block triple-doubles in his freshman season, and the last one, no player in NCAA history has been able to do it in his freshman season since blocks statistics began to exist.

However, this is only in Sun Ce, an "insider", and Whiteside himself, they feel excited, and the Timberwolves have also lost a defensive rebound, which is no big deal, and the Grizzlies don't think there is anything.

When it comes to the Timberwolves' offense, Love wants to gouge Richard Jefferson in the low post and play a steady ball, and he has the confidence to score the ball before Sun Ce's help is in place.

When Lefu easily carried Richard Jefferson and turned left and threw his right hand, he received the Whiteside dry field pluck under the basket with a whoosh, relying on the same super arm span as Duncan and a much stronger bounce than the current Duncan, and directly grabbed the ball thrown by Lefou!

Because he didn't take Whiteside, the firefighter signed by the Grizzlies, in his eyes, Lefu suffered a big loss!

This cover, Lefu was shocked! He turned around very quickly, and the speed at which he grabbed the ball and shot was also very fast, but Whiteside was stunned to complete the hat directly!

Lefu hurriedly retreated, and Giang, whose impact was ignored, also hurriedly retreated.

Whiteside's goal made the fans jump with excitement, they couldn't treat Whiteside differently with the offensive rebound just now, Larry Saunders and Yi Jianlian could do it, but this time the hat was too beautiful!

However, it also exposed a problem, Whiteside's hat also meant that winning a defensive rebound completely ended the Timberwolves' offensive round, but he was slow to play the ball, and when he passed to Beverley, the opponent had already retreated to the halfcourt.

Offense is part of defense, and the Grizzlies lost the opportunity to start a fast break, and their offensive success rate suffered, which naturally weakened some of their defensive success rate.

But at least the ball was prevented!

Watching Beverley advance, Sun Ce continued to play outside singles, and Coach Hollins took out a small notebook and wrote: The block smell is as amazing as a trial, no stage fright, and dare to make moves when making judgments......

Looking back on the court, after Sun Ce received the ball in the front court, he met Brewer's sticky defense, Sun Ce looked for Richard Jefferson to block and dismantle, and after the block, he continued to fly three points against Lefou...... Still missed!

Whiteside, who was already excited, grabbed the offensive rebound again! Richard Jefferson, who found the gap, immediately passed it out.

Richard Jefferson, who received the ball, faced the defense that Brewer made up for, and immediately looked for Sun Ce, Sun Ce used his speed to get rid of Lefou, received the ball, Kevin Martin made up for it, and Sun Ce passed Klay Thompson again.

Klay Thompson received the ball, and Barria, who went up to make up for it, was sad, and the opponent once again ignored his existence and took the ball and threw it directly!

In the last round, Sun Ce scored three points, and in this round, Klay Thompson was very easy to find the shooting feeling and also found the shooting feeling, and received Sun Ce's pass and hit a three-point shot!

28-21, the Grizzlies' lead extended to 7 points!

The Grizzlies' offensive climax begins!

Whiteside's performance, the Timberwolves didn't expect it at all, they thought that Whiteside was just a firefighter before the Grizzlies lost Valanciunas and wanted to let Yi Jianlian rest in rotation, and Gobert was talented but not yet developed, thinking that it was the same as a temporary player signed by the ordinary Development League, nothing special.

But Whiteside won 3 rebounds and 1 block in two offensive and defensive rounds - a proper miracle!

No one understands him, and he hasn't prepared for him at all, and his rebounding ability is as strong as Lefou, and he suffered a big loss in the next period!

If Whiteside repeatedly won offensive rebounds on other interior players today, it would be nothing, at most surprising, but Whiteside played more than 11 minutes from the second half of the first quarter to the official timeout in the second quarter, grabbed 6 offensive rebounds, 3 of which were converted into teammates to score, 1 of his own dunks, two regular defensive rebounds, 1 block rebound, and in less than 12 minutes, he got 6 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks!

This is the data obtained by Lefu who has not rested for a quarter and a half! Then the effect is different, back to the first game of the NBA, Whiteside is in . There was a crazy performance in the game broadcast live in the United States.

Counting the dead ball, timeout, and intermission, from Whiteside's last game to the Grizzlies stretching the difference to 11 points, the Timberwolves called a timeout into the second quarter intermission, in just over half an hour, the Internet has begun to frantically search for the word "Grizzlies' new center", and the Google search engine is directly on the hot search!

Although Love had 19 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in the first quarter and a half, Sun Ce and Klay Thompson, as well as Paul George, who appeared in the second quarter, helped the Timberwolves bite the score, and the performance was obviously much better than Whiteside.

However, Whiteside is only a firefighter who has only played 19 NBA games in four years, and it is surprising enough that he can play such a performance.

The point is that Lefou's rebounding didn't grab Whiteside, this is a direct comparison!

……

At 56-45, when the official timeout began, his teammates all came up and high-fived Whiteside.

It was so beautiful! They had heard about Whiteside's excellent performance during the tryout, but they didn't expect this guy to play so hotly against Love!

Although there are factors such as the other party not understanding him, not being prepared, etc., but being able to seize the opportunity, this is strength! In terms of offensive rebounding alone, under the same circumstances, Randolph is expected to perform like this, and he has to be a few years younger.

Sun Ce shot well, played 18 and a half minutes, and made 3 of 9 three-pointers...... Four of those hits were turned into offensive rebounds by Whiteside, and the others didn't give Whiteside as many boards, on the one hand, Klay Thompson shot accurately, and Beverley, Paul George, and Richard Jefferson didn't shoot much.

In addition, in the second quarter, Love's enthusiasm for grabbing defensive rebounds was obviously improved, and Whiteside only had two offensive rebounds in the second quarter and a half, and the other four were won in the second half of the first quarter.

Sun Ce looked at the data of himself, Whiteside, and Klay Thompson on the big screen.

Klay Thompson scored nine points on 3-of-4 three-pointers, two of which came after his Sun shot Klay Thompson's confidence and ease of finding his groove increased.

Whiteside 6+9+2.

He was a man himself, shooting 6 of 14, plus 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 18 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 block and 1 steal.

The hit rate of his own pit will exceed 40%, and his own team's offense can still play so well, Sun Ce is the first time after Randolph's injury!

But the waves are too high, sometimes it's really pure waves, Sun Ce, who was replaced, was ready to adjust his mentality, he felt that he was a little too excited, and he didn't control it well, otherwise he could play better.

And Whiteside's performance is not without flaws, but with a lot of problems.

After Lefou's side got serious, Whiteside's defensive performance was not so good, but he was also used by the Timberwolves to take advantage of his problem of not blocking and picking, and the Timberwolves just tried to use Barria and Dieng to block and dismantle, but Whiteside mentioned the free throw line position and did not expand it.

In the second half of the first quarter, the Timberwolves were shocked by Whiteside's 4 offensive rebounds in more than 5 minutes, and they were opened up by 10 points in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Timberwolves were prepared, although there was no good way to stop Whiteside from rushing to grab rebounds, but they chose to pinch shots, preferring to give Sun Ce and Richard Jefferson the opportunity to rush rather than give Whiteside offensive rebounding opportunities, at least limiting the ability to prevent Whiteside's data from taking off.

And the offensive end made good use of Whiteside's defects of not liking to the high post, playing a blocking and dismantling high shot and baseline reverse running tactics, the Timberwolves were made by Whiteside in the second half of the first quarter to score only 8 points in the first half of the first quarter, and the first half of the second quarter played a score of 16-17, in the case of the Grizzlies' offense has exploded, 39 points in the first quarter and 17 points in the second quarter, and the tight point difference was not further opened by the Grizzlies.

However, there is no doubt that having Whiteside is definitely a good thing for their Grizzlies, without Whiteside, they can't pull the difference away so easily, and if the opponent's offensive end still explodes, maybe it's their Grizzlies who are 10 points behind now!

To reap the benefits of Whiteside's offensive rebounds and defensive layups, you have to confront his flaws, and overall this is a player whose strengths outweigh their weaknesses.

After analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of Whiteside in the past 11 minutes of play, Sun Ce began to adjust his mentality.

And on the coaching staff's side, just such a game, it feels like giving Whiteside the rest of the season and the guaranteed contract for next season!

Coach Hollins is glad that Sun Ce proposed to give this guy a two-year contract with a 2+1+1 team option, which gives them another option in their future plans!

As for those flaws, Coach Hollins thinks Sun Ce is right - a base-salary player, do you still want him to have the defensive dominance of Howard?

Sign this time, blood earns!

……

In the second half of the second quarter, the Grizzlies switched to a lineup of Beverley, Tony Allen, Paul George, Amir Johnson, and Larry Sanders and began to grind defense.

Since the trade of Gasol Jr., half a season has passed, and the run-in of this lineup has been getting better and better, and it should have been an interior combination of Larry Sanders and Valanciunas against the Timberwolves, with a meat shield, but fortunately, their lineup is also good at preventing passes.

In the second half of the second quarter, the Grizzlies relied on defense, and when Love went crazy in the second half and scored 6 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, they stubbornly held the lead, and at halftime, the Grizzlies led the Timberwolves 68-60 by 8 points into halftime.

The Timberwolves scored 60 points at halftime, and there was a reason why the opposite side was angered by Whiteside, who was too lazy at other times except for blocking and grabbing rebounds, and being a little more active when he was stuck in the position, and online fans were saying that this guy was really suitable for their Grizzlies.

But more importantly, the team's overall defense is not good.

Sun Ce knew where the team had problems, but the problem was very unsolvable, and after discussing it with the coaching staff, he had no choice but to solve it.

The willingness to defend has always been poor, that is, they have to maintain firepower on the offensive end, because now they are the Grizzlies, and only he can chisel it!

In the past, there was Randolph, if you knocked the defense to the death, you couldn't shoot from the outside to find Randolph, but now their Grizzlies team is just him, Paul George is still immature, and Klay Thompson is the pitcher.

In most games, Sun Ce's focus must be on maintaining the team's full-court offense, and if he grinds defense, he has to chisel, and then he loses the continuity of the team.

Grinding defense, may not have much of a similar record, but grinding defense is obviously more tiring to play offense, and it is more likely to be injured, in the case of losing Randolph, choose one of the two, and the coaching staff naturally chooses to attack, because there is that capital.

It's an unsolvable problem, and it would be hell if Randolph was out and could find someone to top.

Otherwise, the Grizzlies wouldn't want to trade Gasol Jr. and Paul George plus their own draft picks for Love.

Coming back from halftime, the Grizzlies continued to field a defensive lineup, with Beverley, Tony Allen, Prince, Amir Johnson, and Larry Sanders continuing to play the lineup.

This lineup change came as a surprise to the Timberwolves.

Love who played in the first half scored 25 points, 10 boards, 5 assists and 1 steal, and after halftime, he was ready to fight Whiteside in the third quarter, and was ready to attack the Grizzlies.

But the Grizzlies did not attack as soon as they came up in the second half, but chose to grind defense, which Adelman really didn't expect, as he grew older and the times changed, Adelman's judgment of the situation became more and more difficult.

This caught the Timberwolves off guard, and in the second half of the second quarter, the Grizzlies' defense was okay, but they didn't let the other side soar, but to say how well the defense was, it didn't, but as soon as the third quarter came up, in 3 minutes and 55 seconds, the Timberwolves didn't score a single sports goal, and only relied on free throws to score 4 points.

Although the Grizzlies only scored 5 points, they tossed several Timberwolves players badly!

At 3 minutes and 55 seconds, Kevin Martin missed a three-point shot against Tony Allen's defense, and Love grabbed an offensive rebound to make a basket that caused Larry Sanders to foul and walk to the free throw line again, and the Grizzlies took the opportunity to make substitutions, five up and five down!

The five-man group of Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Richard Jefferson, and Whiteside came on, and Coach Hollins made substitutions from time to time.

Love hit both free throws to increase his personal score to 29 points, plus 13 boards, 5 assists and 1 steal, and the data was so good.

But at this time, Lefu saw the Grizzlies lineup and felt a trace of despair......

Lefou's feeling is right, Sun Ce, who reappeared in the third quarter, soared!

In the second half of the first quarter, after Whiteside came up and grabbed a beautiful offensive rebound, Sun Ce played a little floating, sometimes purely for the sake of shooting, did not make more choices, and did not even look for a better opportunity to shoot, as long as he found that Whiteside was in the right position, he threw it directly.

After a 10-minute break and halftime, Sun Ce calmed down.

When Lefu retracted to help Pekovic and Whiteside grab the rebound, Sun Ce took advantage of the block to get closer to the middle and close range, and the opponent's outside line expanded out to defend, so he mainly shot from a distance.

The hot form since the All-Star weekend continues, and Sun Ce even scored three points at a 45-degree angle on the right side tonight!

From 3:55 in the third quarter to 6:11 in the fourth quarter, Sun Ce shot 10 of 14 in the 14 and a half minutes, including 3 of 4 three-pointers, plus 2 of 3 free throws, and soared 25 points, 6 boards, 6 assists, 1 block and 2 steals, leading the team to a score of 37-24.

When Sun Ce gave Whiteside the last time to help Whiteside improve his personal score to 10 points, the Grizzlies had already led the Timberwolves by 20 points, 110-90!

With less than 6 minutes left, 20 points behind, Sun Ce has 43 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists...... The Timberwolves called a timeout to surrender.

If this fight continues, Sun Ce will not have another 50+ triple double!

looked at Whiteside, who played 25 minutes, although he was tired and panting, but his static physical fitness was superior to that he could catch the basket on tiptoe...... The fans were so excited tonight!
