"Noah is really amazing! Stephen, look at it, there are media suggestions for New York to vote for the MVP quickly, so that Noah can win the MVP early. Harden said with a swipe of the news.

Curry glanced at Harden, who was lying on the sofa and scrolling through his phone during the morning break, and didn't want to pay attention to this guy!

Can he not know that Sun Ce is powerful?

Curry wanted to say to Harden: Do you know what I've been through? I was teammates with that guy at the beginning of my rookie year, and I watched him get a triple-double in the opener, and we beat Jennings with 56 points together to watch him get a second triple-double, and then a month later, that guy scored 59 points on my head to break Chamberlain's record!

How could Curry not know how powerful Sun Ce is? How could he not complain about the team's mentally retarded operation back then?

It's just that what is in the past is gone, and he now has Iguodala, one of the best support players, Tabit, one of the best close and basket guardians, as a teammate, and a lot of role players who are not necessarily strong but fit him, and the best teammate with an MVP ranking higher than all of him - Harden.

But this guy, like a husky, often makes two mistakes, which makes Curry angry from time to time and wants to scold the street.

But Curry is very accustomed to the appearance of Harden, too familiar! Back then, that guy was so angry that he had nothing to do.

It's finally time to play Sun Ce in the playoffs, and Curry has been waiting for this opportunity to beat Sun Ce in the playoffs!

Since he's no longer a teammate, let's kill him!

Curry straightened the green hairband on his head in the mirror, he wanted to ask Sun Ce where he bought this, the quality is also good, it's been five years, it's not broken, it's dirty and washed like new.

……

Compared with the excitement of the Warriors to play against the defending champions, on the Grizzlies' side, the first game of the playoffs is coming, and the veteran players led by Sun Ce are not excited, but they are very calm when they are excited about the start of the playoffs.

Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Tony Allen, Yi Jianlian, the five of them have played together since the first championship, Prince won the championship ten years ago, and Larry Sanders also played a major role in defending James in the finals last season.

Even Beverley, who played for a few minutes in the finals last season, was bragging to Hardaway Jr. and Gobert, two rookies......

With several players who won the championship last season so calm and calm, the atmosphere of the whole team has also tended to be calm.

This is a very good state, a positive, excited attitude, a calm mind, can't make them not change, but can make them play less probable.

There's no guarantee of a feel, but a calm mindset allows them to play better and create opportunities for themselves and their teammates.

By the time the Grizzlies began to warm up at 5:30 p.m., the Heat had defeated the Knicks 101-90 in the East to win the first game of the day, and the matchup between the Pacers and the Nets, a team team of the old and new generations, had begun.

I have to say that this series is really attractive! Sun Ce wanted to watch it, but he didn't have a chance, and his game was more important.

……

……

After the pre-game warm-up, at 7:40 p.m., Sun Ce and his teammates entered the court together.

Enjoying the frantic cheers of the fans, Sun Ce looked at the group of strong enemies opposite...... This series is not easy to play!

In the past few days, the media, fans, and experts have been debating whether they are stronger than the Grizzlies or the Warriors.

If it were them in the past two years, even if Sun Ce was not as good as he is now, everyone would think that their Grizzlies were stronger, but now they are not necessarily as strong as the Warriors who show an unstoppable dazzling light like the rising sun on the opposite side.

Mark Jackson has laid the Warriors' foundation well, strong offensively and defensively.

However, there are still many people who think that the Grizzlies cannot fall here, and there is only one reason - Sun Ce!

Before the game, Harden wanted to find Sun Ce to express his fighting intentions, and this time he was really ready to provoke, but Curry treated this guy as another foul and gave a throat warning, and Harden could only stay on his side aggrievedly.

Soon, pre-game preparation time ended, and at 8:11 p.m., after the Pacers defeated the Nets in overtime, the referee motioned for players from both teams to come on.

On the Grizzlies' side, the combination of Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Richard Jefferson, and Yi Jianlian appeared.

On the Warriors' side, Curry, Harden, Iguodala, Spetts, and Thabit started the lineup.

With the coaching staff's thorough research, the hard work with his teammates to prepare for the game, the experience of playing against each other, and the observation of watching videos and occasionally watching live broadcasts, Sun Ce already has a good understanding of the opponent's style of play.

But Sun Ce knows that the other side may know them better, because their Grizzlies have been adjusting in the direction of an offensive team since the beginning of December.

This is a helpless adjustment, but fortunately, the direction of their change of play from the beginning is very clear, although injuries continue, but the offensive end of the tactical library is getting richer and richer, and the offense is getting better and better, at the end of the regular season, with an average of 111.5 points per game, ranking first in the league with an average of 111.5 points per game, a full 3 points higher than the average points per game of the second-place Lakers!

But in a season of transformation on the offensive end, it's easy for opponents to know how they're playing, and they can't respond to it in the regular season, but in the playoffs, it's hard to say when you're well prepared.

At 8:15 a.m., the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game and threw the ball into the air, and Yi Jianlian won the jump ball from Tabit's head once, the fifth time of the season...... Tabit's jump ball reminded Sun Ce of the female omen Sun and Moon who had already circled twice.

The ball was pushed back by Yi Jianlian, Sun Ce was about to start, but Harden directly resisted him! Sun Ce's body is a little more important, but static confrontation against Sun Ce is not dominant!

Harden weighs only 103 kilograms at the shooting guard position, and he is like a scale when he focuses on blocking.

Sun Ce's direct quick catch was interrupted, and the Grizzlies' attempt to use Sun Ce's size and speed to score or let Sun Ce disrupt the opposing defense's position in the opening fast break was unsuccessful.

Iguodala made up for Sunzer, Harden stepped back to stay at the top arc and wait for Paul George to advance, and Curry went to chase Klay Thompson in the running position.

Paul George pushed to the frontcourt, and if you want to talk about Harden's defense, Harden can't make the All-Defensive Team in his life, because he has an opponent who is not interested, and the defensive end is like a certain unnamed No. 24 now, the traffic commander.

But when you meet an opponent who makes him pay attention, it's strong!

Before playing the Pelicans, defending Irving from the outside, and changing to defend Anthony Davis when encountering a pick-and-roll, the defense was excellent!

Paul George saw that Sun Ce pulled away and did not single Harden, Sun Ce suffered a loss in the confrontation, and he suffered even more, he chose to find Klay Thompson to block and dismantle!

Curry pulled a beard of his own as he ran past Klay Thompson to stabilize his mind.

It's too much of a bully! Ever since that bastard came out with the Roll Call Dafa, as long as the outside line is blocked and dismantled, the Warriors will play outside blocking and dismantling.

With the help of Klay Thompson's blocking, Paul George broke through to the right side, Curry quickly changed the defense and pasted it to avoid Paul George's shooting after blocking and dismantling, Paul George was already prepared for the upper limb confrontation when Curry was defending outside, and the explosion accelerated after the blocking, and he failed to top Curry, who had a pair of unicorn arms, but when he stopped urgently, Curry, who was relatively weak in his lower limbs, failed to stop urgently, and Paul George blocked and broke through the free throw line from the pull-up jump shot...... Hit!

Paul George said "Oye" in his heart after scoring the goal, it was a big goal, and he showed his touch.

The reason why the first goal was that he was attacking with the ball instead of Sun Ce was mainly worried about his feel in the game.

Sun Ce's blocking and dismantling offense will definitely encounter a pinch shot, and the cliff of the pinch will not be Iguodala who removes Klay Thompson, but Harden, so his Paul George's open shot is very important.

And in a game like the playoffs, you can't try it easily, because their brothers are the best three players on the team, and they have to shoot steadily from the outside to play the pass and cut together.

In the regular season, the three of them averaged 8.6 three-pointers per game, and they only scored 26 points per game by relying on three-pointers, even if they averaged 13 three-pointers per game for the whole team, they only scored 39 points, which will exceed the team's score by one-third, and more points are still medium and close-range.

The first goal, and it was a positional battle, was important for Paul George, and it was important for the Grizzlies.

Offense and defense transition, Warriors offense.

Iguodala pushed to the front court and handed the ball to Harden.

Sun Ce followed Iguodala to the sideline, he felt that Iguodala and Harden started at the same time, a bit of a waste, the two partly overlapped in organizing the offense, especially when the physical strength was the best at the beginning, the most wasteful, and the physical strength declined later, Harden scored on the main offense, and Iguodala was responsible for the outside organization, but it was better, and this was the case when Curry took the initiative to give up most of the ball possession.

Paul George is responsible for aligning with Harden, both offensive and defensive ends, Klay Thompson and Curry are following to the death, and Klay Thompson is under the most pressure here!

No, Klay Thompson has been following very closely, but just a split second, Curry received a pass from Harden and pushed it out from receiving the ball in less than 0.5 seconds!

The green hairband on Curry's head seemed to be glowing, and the waves hit with a shocking quick push!

Klay Thompson's first shot is about to be blown up, which is impossible to prevent! Fortunately, he has a stable personality and immediately calmed down and threw himself into the offensive end.

When it comes to the Grizzlies' offense, they once again fall into positional warfare, for the Warriors, the offensive success rate is very important, Tabit is too slow compared to Yi Jianlian, the positional battle defense is good, and the defense is okay, but when you play fast attack Tabit, you can't prevent Yi Jianlian.

When it came to the frontcourt, Sun Ce received the ball, and Curry was ready to be named by Sun Ce.

But Sun Ce didn't ...... Roll call is a good tactic, but he is not James, not Evans, and compared to calling Curry, it is better to find a regular inside block.

Paul George named Curry because he wanted to try long-range shooting, and Sun Ce didn't have to be long-range shooting, so the object he was looking for was Yi Jianlian!

Sun Ce borrowed Yi Jianlian to block and break through, and the Thabit who had to follow out was passed by Sun Ce at once, Thabit tried his best to chase and interfere with Sun Ce's shot, Speights collected Sun Ce from the baseline and blocked Sun Ce from the bottom line to prevent Sun Ce from going to the basket or the bottom line, Richard Jefferson took the opportunity to cut in, and received Sun Ce's hanging ball and dunk in the air to score two points!

For Sun Ce, it is really better to name Curry than to name and play Thabit, if Curry is named, the opponent has good protection under the basket, and he can use the outside line to help defend, he can only pass the outside line, but playing Thabit, you can make more choices!

If Tabit doesn't expand, Sun Ce will block and shoot, and when it expands, he will break through the ball.

And that's a tough situation for the Warriors to defend against.

Quite simply, the Grizzlies' starting lineup is the most offensive of any five-man group in the league! Better than the Spurs' starting lineup!

And the Grizzlies can't start the Spurs, it's out of defense, the Spurs have a way to limit them, they can't limit the Spurs, so they can't play.

These two points are not contradictory.

The Warriors were mentally prepared from the beginning, and if they couldn't defend themselves against the Grizzlies in the starting stage, they would fight to attack!

After this time, when it comes to the rotation lineup, the advantage of their Warriors comes.

Of course, you can't let the Grizzlies score during this time, you have to defend with all your might, and don't let Sun Ce and Klay Thompson shoot away, as for the short interior combination of Paul George and the Grizzlies, there is really no way to prevent it.

At 5 minutes and 38 seconds into the first quarter, Sun Ce caused Harden to foul in the counterattack and made two free throws, and the Warriors called a timeout early and entered the official timeout.

Not counting the two free throws that Sun Ce didn't make yet, the Grizzlies scored 14 points in a little more than five and a half minutes, but the Warriors also scored 13 points!

After Curry made that three-pointer, even if he only made one, the threat became even greater.

Curry's first three-pointer was a pure run-and-catch three-pointer, without the help of a pick-and-roll, the purpose is simple, in order to maximize Curry's shooting threat!

Pure running to catch the ball In the case that Klay Thompson has been following closely and only has a gap of less than 1 second, Curry has completed the whole process from receiving the ball to shooting and throwing, after that, Curry's running is added to Speights or Iguodala's off-ball blocking, and the containment becomes stronger! In turn, Speights and Iguodala got better cutting opportunities and mid-range shooting opportunities, and Harden's breakthrough also gave Spets and Iguodala better opportunities to attack the basket with their cut-in threats or mid-range shooting threats.

Although the Warriors did not score as well as the regular season because of the big confrontation and the Warriors' initiative to press the rhythm, they tightened the score when facing the Grizzlies' strongest offensive lineup!
