The Grizzlies are very motivated, and the Mavericks have a clear goal for the new season.

At the beginning of the 1-1 loss, Nowitzki felt that the team had pressure in the new season, because the outside world was very optimistic about their Mavericks, with him, Bosh, Chandler, Conley, Ellis, and already had the strength to compete for the championship, and this was a huge pressure on their team, but he personally had no pressure.

He has reached the end of his career, and he doesn't care how much money he makes, he thinks that he will never spend the money he earns in his life; I don't care about personal honors or anything, I don't even care if I start or not.

He is happy about the fact that the team has the pressure to win the championship, because after 2007, from 08 to 11 years, even if Yao Ming joined, people's expectations for them to win the championship were not so high.

On the other hand, Nowitzki didn't even feel the pressure to win the championship at that time, and for him at that time, there was no pressure, but more torture.

And now the pressure to win the championship was earned by his own hands in the 2011 playoffs.

No one can understand how much Noviski endured torture that others could not understand, and now this kind of pressure makes him feel very satisfied.

However, seeing Sun Ce again, Nowitzki's feelings in his heart were indescribable, and Conley and Ellis on the Mavericks side didn't know how to describe their complicated feelings.

Ellis is okay, before he could partner with Sun Ce in the official game, Sun Ce was sent away by the Warriors, and the biggest emotion he wanted to express was - the Warriors deserved it!

And Conley, seeing that Sun Ce and Paul George are working so well now, seeing that Sun Ce no longer dominates the ball but concedes the ball after he has practiced his skills...... is indeed a little unwilling, if he didn't go at that time, there might not be a chance for Paul George and Jimmy Butler to serve as the third possession point on the outside, and the one who followed Sun Ce to win the championship may be him!

But there was no way, at that time, he knew that he would definitely not be able to compete with Sun Ce, so he chose to leave and join the Mavericks who had just won the championship, looking forward to touching the championship trophy as soon as possible, and as a result, good guy, as soon as he left, the Grizzlies won two consecutive championships.

Sun Ce, on his side, entered the court and took a look at the latest ability evaluation of the Mavericks players.

"Nowitzki A, Offensive S-, Defensive C...... Offensive efficiency is okay! Fifty-three percent shooting, 55 percent mid-range shooting? More than a layup shooting percentage? But this defense can't do without the three-second zone!

Conley A+ (Peak), Offensive A, Defensive A+......

Bosh S-...... More powerful than Ade? ”

It's not that Sun Ce looks down on Bosh, indeed, judging from the wind reviews, Aldridge's evaluation of fans and the media is higher than that of Bosh, of course, after forming the Big Three of the Heat.

As for the situation of the two people playing each other in the game according to the scouts, Sun Ce remembered that it was indeed Bosh who had the upper hand.

It's good that Bosh was selected for the All-Star Game for eight consecutive seasons before last season, and Aldridge has been selected as an All-Star less than half of Bosh, and the difference in age between the two is only 3 years, and there is no imaginary gap between the two eras, and the difference between the two is one year old.

Sun Ce still remembers that when the Mavericks successfully renewed Bosh in the summer, the media wrote that Bosh was renewed, and the Mavericks retained their championship hopes, rather than saying that Chandler's addition gave them championship hopes, and the focus was on Bosh.

At 6:28 p.m., the starters of both teams came on the pitch.

On the Grizzlies' side, the starting lineup of Son Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Aldridge, and Larry Sanders came on.

On the Mavericks' side, the starting lineup of Conley, Ellis, Aminu, Bosh, and Chandler came on.

Larry Sanders and Chandler came to the center circle to jump the ball, and Aldridge felt so happy to see that the team had a center! Finally, I don't have to jump the ball!

At half past six in the evening, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game and threw the ball into the air, punching the young man, and Chandler, who was already past the peak of his athleticism, lost to Larry Sanders, and the Grizzlies attacked first.

The Mavericks, on their side, were ready, Bosh stepped back to the basket to defend, and Chandler quickly stepped back after losing the jump ball, staying in the middle range and waiting for Aldridge to come over.

As long as Bosh doesn't play center, the defense is not bad, the premise of his willingness to renew his contract is to get back a big center, and now he feels very comfortable with Chandler, in terms of frame protection ability, Chandler is even stronger than the original Nene by a grade, with Conley and Aminu's outside defense, even if Ellis's defense is average, he can drag it out.

Due to the weight loss, the Mavericks used Chandler to defend Aldridge and Bosh to guard Larry Sanders.

After Paul George advanced to the frontcourt, Sun Ce borrowed Klay Thompson to block and get rid of Aminu's defense and cut inside, Aminu defended very actively, and after being blocked, he went straight to the bottom line to re-block Sun Ce, at this time Larry Sanders mentioned the right side of the three-second zone, blocked Aminu, and double-blocked without the ball!

On the other side, Paul George easily broke through in the face of Ellis's defense, and Chandler was about to occupy a favorable position to assist in the defense, but found that Sun Ce went directly to the air and immediately withdrew, Bosh could not stop Sun Ce!

It has to be said that the Mavericks' fluency on the defensive end is very good, Chandler took it back, and Aminu immediately went to help Ellis to defend Paul George, and Conley also returned to Klay Thompson.

But at this time Aldridge was empty! Paul George encounters a pinch shot! These two can't cover the weak side of the ball like Chandler does.

While his teammates were running to create a threat, Aldridge silently moved to his familiar shooting spot, received a split from Paul George, and shot a two-point shot...... Hit!

Very beautiful combination, using Sun Ce's threat to create opportunities for other teammates, Paul George feels that it is easier than using other teammates' threats to create opportunities for Sun Ce.

But if it is more confident in who will shoot, Paul George will still choose to create chances for Sun Ce with a little more difficulty.

It's just that if Sun Ce is put into the role of a container, Paul George does feel that it is much easier to organize the attack.

When it comes to the Mavericks' offense, Ellis pulls to the bottom line to contain the mid-range, the effect is not very good, the mid-range piece, the threat of the guard with the same mid-range shooting level is not as strong as the inside line, but there is no way, Ellis's three-point shooting is simple, purely looking at the sky, it is possible to score a few in a row, but most of the time it is not possible, the mid-range shooting is becoming more and more exquisite, and last season he shot 42 percent of the shooting rate and 44 percent of the long two-point shooting rate.

But it was enough, after Conley and Chandler blocked and dismantled, with the threat of Bosch and Chandler cutting, Conley hit the earth with a riotous crotch and gave it to Aminu, who cut in, and Aminu flew to the basket to score two points.

Sun Ce went to block Chandler and directly let Ellis go, because Ellis was too "petite" compared to Sun Ce, Chandler, and Aldridge who were blocking Conley and him, but he didn't expect Conley to run out from Bosh, who was chasing away, and Larry Sanders under the crotch to distribute the ball to Aminu, who cut in.

The current Conley and Sun Ce's impression of Conley's painting style are too far apart, and in a few years, he has been completely deviated by white chocolate, and white chocolate has been retired, but Conley still hasn't changed.

Looking at Conley's steady defense, stable mid-to-long range shooting, and simple style most of the time, I really can't see that he dares to pass the ball so daringly!

The key is that Conley's basic skills are good and his passing accuracy is good, unlike his grandson, who does not move after his passing accuracy reaches the A level because of his size.

However, Sun Ce's advantages in vision and size make it easier for him to find a passing object and a better passing route, and his sense of organization and attack is also better than Conley's, and he can use other aspects to avoid the problem of passing accuracy...... Moreover, the A-level, first-class level of passing accuracy is not bad.

After the start of the game, the defensive actions of both teams were relatively restrained, focusing on supplemental defense and assisting defense, and the confrontation was reduced.

This is the first two games of losses, and now they are all boiling, waiting for the referee to loosen the penalty for "violating the offensive player's cylinder", and then strengthen the confrontation.

However, the referee caught a blow penalty after the rule change, which is indeed a good way for the players to make changes in their defensive habits, and they have to find a way to not defend at this stage, the new rules have begun to be implemented, and they must adapt to it.

And the Mavericks' defense of the outside trio who can change defenses infinitely, and the defense of the inner twin towers can also be changed, is really suitable for the current defense, and Sun Ce has done a very good job of supplementing and assisting in defense.

However, the defense of Aldridge was very bad, Aldridge came up and scored two open shots in a row, and after Aldridge threw it, as long as he fell into a positional battle, Paul George handed the ball to Aldridge in the mid-range single!

For the Grizzlies, Aldridge's main attack was "premeditated", but for the Mavericks, it was an unexpected situation!

Seeing Sun Ce's active running position and constantly looking for a way to catch the ball, it turned out that he was creating opportunities for Aldridge!

Who would have predicted this?

Sun Ce has averaged more than 26 shots per game in the past two years, throwing 37 times in the first game of the season and 15 times in the second game after just over 20 minutes.

Anyone would think that Sun Ce would more or less change his mentality, and began to claim to be the absolute main point of attack, and the Mavericks also made full preparations to defend Sun Ce, but Sun Ce went to Aldridge today to "lay a hand"!

Fortunately, the Mavericks' offense is also doing a good job, Chandler's blocking and dismantling is indeed comfortable, Conley has the advantage of flexibility in the face of Paul George's defense, with Chandler's blocking and dismantling, and the two have been together for two seasons before, Chandler comes back and neither of them needs to run in, plus Bosh, who may be one of the interior lines who benefit the most under the new rules, in the team offense, Conley and Bosh have sorted out the offense in an orderly manner.

And once it falls into a situation where it can't be opened, Conley hands the ball to Ellis, and it's up to Ellis to solve the problem.

Ellis, the starter, and Nowitzki, the substitute, spent most of their time standing and walking, and when it came to the necessary moment, the two of them picked up.

At 5 minutes and 45 seconds of the first quarter, seeing that Aldridge had scored 9 points, the Mavericks tried to defend Aldridge and use the conventional way to change Sun Ce's defense.

Sun Ce seized the opportunity to run back and cut into the inside, Bosh prevented Larry Sanders from impacting under the basket, Chandler did not take it back this time, Aldridge received the ball from Paul George and divided the right side of the three-second zone, Sun Ce jumped up and received the ball and fell into the three-second zone, and shook a shot, Bosh flew up in fright.

Overlord buckle level 3 trigger!

Sun Ce burst into a frenzy, pushed away the falling Bosh, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

The referee's whistle sounded, and Sun Ce's goal was effective and he had to be punished!

Bosh's heart is called a bitterness, it is better to defend Aldridge alone, in terms of softness, Aldridge is softer than him!

This was Sun Ce's second shot after the start of the game, and the last time he tried to shoot a three-pointer, he didn't score.

walked to the free throw line, Sun Cejia also hit the free throw, and scored 3 points!

18-14, the Grizzlies led the Mavericks by 4 points, and the Mavericks called a timeout!

……

Carlisle looked at the player opposite...... That's a great state, isn't it?

The Grizzlies don't have a comparison on their own side, after all, they are a newly formed lineup, in terms of offense, I have to say that the offensive state is not as good as last season, but at the beginning of this season, the defense of the whole league collapsed, and the defense is being rebuilt according to the new rules.

But the Grizzlies players just got stronger! Sun Ce and others just feel that their state is not as good as when the offense was at its hottest in the second half of last season, because the time period when they still have an impression of last season's offense is the last two months of the regular season.

However, the players have become stronger, even if they are not as good as they were after the All-Star Weekend, and the offensive effect of the game is not much worse than at that stage!

The most important thing is that the players have become stronger, as an "outsider", Carlisle clearly saw the strength of Sun Ce and Aldridge's main attack, Paul George's response, Klay Thompson's containment, and Larry Sanders' cutting into the basket!

And most of the players on the Grizzlies' side are a little uncomfortable with the regular season starting in mid-October, and other teams are also uncomfortable, in the case of not getting into the best condition, in comparison, Carlisle really thinks that the Grizzlies players are in incredible shape!

That is, Larry Sanders and Aldridge are out of step on the defensive end, otherwise Carlisle thinks the Grizzlies will play better.

Entering the rotation lineup, on the Grizzlies' side, Sun Ce, who had just played 2+1, was replaced and rested, and the lineup of Livingston, Klay Thompson, Carter, Aldridge, and Gobert played.

On the other side, the Mavericks fielded a combination of Conley, Barria, Ellis, Nowitzki, and Chandler.

Unable to find a solution, Carlisle chose to send one more point guard, which is really not good, he still has a lot of point guards to use!

……

Coming back from the timeout, Coach Hollins thought that the lineup would be able to maintain the lead, but he underestimated Aldridge's determination to work hard tonight with the "encouragement" of his teammates!

After Aldridge scored 9 points in the first half of the quarter, he played a feeling, and after the timeout, the Grizzlies began to settle down in the battle, Aldridge singled the ball on the offensive end, Gobert guarded the basket on the defensive end, and Aldridge went to fight with Nowitzki, completely ignoring the boos of the fans in his hometown.

So, the unexpected situation occurred, the Mavericks and the Grizzlies played back and forth in the first half of the first quarter, but in the second half of the first quarter, Aldridge led the team to a wave of 20-15!

Aldridge is really fit to have a big tower like Gobert around, just like he played really well with Okafor last season.

Relying on Aldridge's 18 points, 3 rebounds, 1 block and 2 assists in a single quarter, the Grizzlies led the Mavericks by 9 points at 38-29 in the first quarter!

It's really not that the Mavericks didn't play well offensively, but that Aldridge found his shooting feeling and shot confidence tonight with the help of Sun Ce, and his mid-range shooting was incomprehensible!

7 of 10 shots in a single quarter, 4 of 4 free throws, how to prevent this?

Livingston didn't catch Aldridge after he came on the court, but used Aldridge's threat to create shooting opportunities for Klay Thompson and Carter.

During the intermission, watching Aldridge go off the break amid the boos of the fans, Sun Ce just said that although he also did it, he didn't expect Aldridge to be in such a good state!

He and Paul George both went down to rest, Aldridge was stunned and relied on his personal ability to chisel 9 points in the first quarter, if it wasn't for the last two points in the first quarter after 9 shots and 7 shots, Aldridge would have been 20+ in a single quarter!

However, in tonight's game, Sun Ce discovered one thing, which was the situation that Carlisle on the opposite side discovered first.

In the first game against the Pelicans, the opponent's double champion performed fiercely, and Sun Ce didn't feel how good his team was.

Playing Team Rocket, abusing the vegetable game, I don't feel anything.

But when it came time to play the Mavericks, Sun Ce suddenly found that the opponent's state seemed to be a little worse than their Grizzlies.

And in the opener, the Mavericks and Spurs played evenly together...... At that time, Sun Ce thought that the Mavericks were in good shape, but now that they look at it, it seems that the other party's state is really not as good as their Grizzlies......

In other words, their Grizzlies may start the season in better shape than most teams! He thought that an early start to the schedule and a change in the rules would be a big problem for them, more trouble than the other teams.

But looking at it now, it seems that other teams are in no less trouble than them, and their state is better than he thinks!

Except for a certain black fat man in a suit who hasn't touched the ball in the summer, Stoudemire can't practice much due to injury, and the Grizzlies players who stayed on the team last season are all working hard to play well in the new season, and the new players also want to occupy a place in the new team, so they are actually more adequate than most teams in terms of preparation before the season!

Sun Ce suppressed the excitement in his heart, this is a very important thing, but he can't be too excited because of this, he has to calm down and fight hard!
