3 seconds later, Sun Ce looked at the ability evaluation of the end of the bonus, the three-point weakening, the mid-range shooting had no effect, the speed was reduced a little but the burst speed and explosiveness, strength, and confrontation were greatly improved, and the passing control was affected to a certain extent but the low-post back body was improved......
The focus is on the ascension of static confrontation! Playing with Nash will definitely play better!
……
At the end of the intermission, the Grizzlies sent a lineup of Nash, Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Randolph, and Gasol Jr. to play 3 to 2 defenses.
Coach Hollins didn't just focus on this season, he started thinking about next season at the end of the regular season, such as a reversal of the tempo, a balanced offense and defense in the starters, and a rotational lineup that stuck defensively...... You need to try, and now you have an 18-point lead in the first quarter, you can try to try.
Coach Hollins is very bold and dares to play blindly in the playoffs, otherwise he would not have led by more than 20 points in the third quarter and was overturned......
On the Clippers' side, Griffin, who scored 13 points in a single quarter in the first quarter, continued to play, Billups and Willie Green on the dual point guards, Matt Barnes and Motai Yunas, and the Clippers were also strengthening their defense.
The Clippers offense, Billups is not as good as in the past after suffering a major injury with a ruptured Achilles tendon late last season, but it is still okay to play off the bench, he has returned to play 44 games this season, 39 percent of his three-point shooting rate is averaging 1.5 three-pointers per game, and he is averaging 8.8 points and 3.3 assists per game in 19 minutes of playing time, an excellent bench + veteran leader.
After advancing to the frontcourt, Billups tried a three-pointer against Tony Allen's defense...... Miss!
But Griffin, who was stuck in position, was stunned by bouncing and stretching out his short hand to push the ball that was bouncing to his side back to the basket and hit the basket.
25-41, the margin narrowed to 16 points.
This lineup of the Grizzlies didn't think of counterattacking, and when they got to the frontcourt, Sun Ce and Nash blocked and dismantled!
Willie Green, who defended Tony Allen, caught up and defended three and two in the top arc, but Willie Green and Billups together couldn't stop Sun Ce from cutting!
Due to the long time that Klay Thompson and Paul George played in the first quarter, Sun Ce knew that the space would not be good in the second quarter, so he used the general's card...... Sun Ce directly pushed the two of them without the ball and blocked and rushed into the inner line!
Motaiyunas followed Randolph to the left baseline line, thinking that Sun Ce would definitely not be able to cut in, even if he cut in from the flank, he would be able to return to the basket in time, and it was too late to go back now.
But Griffin moved fast, let go of the right baseline and Gasol Jr. took it back, and saw Sun Ce jump after receiving Nash's pass in one step inside the free throw line, Griffin pounced on Sun Ce to block!
The ball Griffin jumped from the reasonable collision zone, the position was very well grasped, and the confrontation was also within the range of the joint confrontation, and even the direction of the hand block was judged accurately, and there was no misjudgment because Sun Ce grabbed the ball with his left hand.
But...... Sun Ce jumped much higher than usual, and when Griffin was at eye level with Sun Ce, his hand only reached Sun Ce's wrist!
And because Griffin waved his right hand to the right, when he rubbed Sun Ce's dunk hand and the referee's whistle blew, he couldn't slap Sun Ce's hand away, and Sun Ce grabbed the ball and continued to smash it to the basket......
"Bang ......"
With the wailing of the basket, Sun Ce took several steps back and sat on the ground because of the impact of the other party after he landed, looking a little desolate...... But the fans at the scene were boiling!
Explode again!
Sun Ce's 2+1 of the front face buckle Griffin!
The big screen immediately gave a replay, and the fans at the scene saw that when Sun Ce rushed up to confront Griffin on the big screen, it seemed that he stopped in the air because of the opponent's too fierce impact, but he relied on his arm span advantage to smash the ball into the basket!
This kind of ball was often seen in Griffin's games in the past two years, but unlike Griffin, Griffin often needs to press people to avoid being blocked due to his disadvantage in arm span, Sun Ce not only does not have an arm span disadvantage, except for Larry Sanders, Anthony Davis, and Guy, a monster whose arm span is less than 20 cm longer than his height, his arm span-height difference is the top in the league!
Griffin, over there, couldn't help but look at his hands as he watched Sun Ce being pulled up by Nash and Tony Allen...... Is it that short?
This is outrageous! The eyes are parallel, and they are actually a palm shorter than the other party!
With Sun Ce's hook hand and free throw, the Grizzlies led the Clippers by 19 points 44-25!
Sun Ce's dunk this time boosted the morale of the Grizzlies no less than scoring 4 consecutive three-pointers in the first quarter, and he did a very good job on the defensive end, that is, Griffin struggled to score two points in the face of Gasol Jr.'s crooked throw.
There is no way around this, Gasol Jr. has forced Griffin to the point where he tilts his body at a negative angle and forcibly hooks his hands, purely because Griffin's personal ability is too strong.
But when Rondo was resting, the Clippers could only rely on Griffin to score, and this style of play could not continue!
Sure enough, in the next round, Randolph relied on Sun Ce's containment to get Nash's shot, and when he turned around, Griffin's strong throw, which faced Gasol Jr.'s change of defense, was fanned down by Sun Ce before reaching the highest point, and Sun Ce himself grabbed the defensive rebound.
When it came to the Grizzlies' offense, Sun Ce received the ball and was pinched in the middle distance, and gave it to Gasol Jr., who cut in, and hit the basket, 48-27, and the Grizzlies extended their lead to 21 points! The Clippers call a timeout!
After 15 minutes of play, they were already 21 points behind, which was the most vicious blow to the Clippers players who wanted to upset the Grizzlies in the first round before the start of the playoffs!
Not an opponent at all! They felt like they were slapping themselves in the face with those confident words they said in their pre-playoff interviews!
ESPN deliberately took the lead in guiding them to restrain the Grizzlies, and they actually believed it!
However, the confidence of others was hit, and Rondo, who was replaced, and Griffin, who had already scored 17 points, did not give up!
