Coach Hollins' idea of a five-up, five-down wave failed, and 75-97, the Grizzlies lost to the Thunder by 22 points, ending their five-game winning streak.

On the Thunder side, a wave of six consecutive wins stabilized the fourth position in the West.

Most of the players on the Grizzlies' side didn't know why they couldn't shoot today.

Randolph only scored 15 points on 6-of-15 shooting today, but Randolph did not have a particularly obvious decline in form, mainly due to the contraction of the opponent, and the key to the contraction of the opponent was that the Grizzlies could not shoot from the outside.

Sun Ce didn't feel that he had physical problems, normal style of play, but the contraction of the other party affected not only Randolph, he Sun was more affected, he was best at the bottom line hook, there were few opportunities today, three of them, only the jump shot on the right middle distance was a positional goal, and the other 8 points were basically obtained when running up with Jordan Jr. and Yi Jianlian.

But this style of play, for the overall player structure of the Grizzlies, can only be a connecting section of the play, after all, the team's foundation is still a double bear, and positional warfare offense and defense are the core.

This game exposed Sun Ce's most fatal problem...... When a teammate doesn't perform well, his performance drops dramatically.

Played the Thunder, 25 minutes, 10 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks...... This is the normal level of his B+ strength!

……

The strong bears didn't overpower the ground snakes, and the grizzlies took advantage of the excitement and left the Ford Center in a gloomy way.

However, the rest of the Grizzlies team did not think as much as Sun Ce, and after losing to the Thunder, the Grizzlies still have an 18-4 record, and it is normal to lose in the NBA.

After returning to the hotel, Sun Ce brainstormed and couldn't think of a solution for the time being, so he came to the training ground to continue training.

After the two games in which the team's offense was sparse, Sun Ce didn't figure out anything else, such as whether the team was in a state too early and began to find a way to be targeted by the opponent, or because of physical strength, which he was not very sure, and it may even be that the team was not in good shape these days.

However, this made Sun Ce very vigilant! Be vigilant!

And one thing is certain, his offensive means are starting to seem less adequate again.

When the wing players can shoot and the Grizzlies have space for close-range shots, Sun Ce's shooting on the right side of the entire three-second zone is enough, but when the team encounters such a situation, he is basically fine.

Just shrink the other party!

Sun Ce couldn't think of a solution to other things for the time being, but there was one thing Sun Ce was sure of......

As long as he can shoot from beyond the three-point line, he can solve a lot of problems.

Because he doesn't have physical problems.

The rest of the Grizzlies have been working hard since the beginning, especially because they pay attention to defense, and physical problems have accumulated game by game, but he has no problem with him, and after practicing the Nash training method every day, he can be resurrected with full blood the next day.

He didn't shoot well in these two games, mainly because he didn't have the space to shoot alone, let alone the opportunity to catch and shoot in the middle distance.

However, if he can shoot from beyond the three-point line, he can play a diversion role, even without the ball, and the team also has Conley, Jason Williams, two solid passers, and Gasol Jr. as the playmaker......

Just do it!

Originally, he was going to widen the shooting area, but now Sun Ce's motivation in this regard has become stronger!

Sun Ce moved his body and began to practice the three points in the bottom left corner.

The bottom corners on both sides are the most overlooked and easiest to get shooting opportunities, and Sun Ce's first normal three-point shooting in his career so far is also in this position.

Of course, the shooting he is good at will not give up, and it would be foolish to give up, but developing a stable three-point shooting point is Sun Ce's current training focus!

……

Coach Hollins had a team meeting with the coaching staff after the game, and he was also in a big position in the two games.

If the Hornets were a little stronger in the last game, it was very likely that they would not be able to beat!

In fact, after Gay's diagnosis and reimbursement, Hollins coach and general manager Chris Wallace were ready for a decline in performance, and now he has only lost four games in the middle of the second game, which he did not expect.

I didn't expect this sudden decline in state.

Compared to Sun Ce, who is not sure whether his team is in a decline or has a bad hand for a while, Coach Hollins has to analyze it relatively clearly, because he is not alone, and he has several assistant coaches who are capable of serving as head coaches of NBA teams in the future.

Although his assistant coaches are not very well-known now, in a few years, when people find out that those people were former assistant coaches of the Grizzlies, they will know how luxurious the coaching staff of that team can be black-eight.

Bickerstaff Jr., the future NBA head coach, has a father who has been an NBA head coach behind him; David Fitzdale; Dave Jogle.

With Coach Hollins, they got together, and their analytical skills were obviously much stronger than Sun Ce.

After discussing with the members of his coaching staff, Coach Hollins came to a conclusion similar to Sun Ce, who opened his eyes, but the core judgment was different.

Coach Hollins' coaching staff came to the conclusion that there was nothing new about the team!

Physical strength is one thing, and Coach Hollins has begun to make adjustments, letting Gasol Jr., Randolph, and Conley play less time, and let Jason Williams, Paul George, Haddadi, Jordan Jr., and Yi Jianlian play more.

We are already starting to make physical adjustments to prepare for the long regular season ahead.

There are good times and bad times, and what Coach Hollins can do is set up the team's overall defense with defensive assistant coach Dave Jogle.

But the team's style of play, after more than a month, has been figured out by many teams.

Especially in the game with the Rockets, it is necessary to rely on Yi Jianlian's outbreak to compete with the Rockets in the connecting section.

If the offensive end does not improve, it will become a pure-stirring stick team just like in the original time and space, and there is already Randolph on the inside, as long as the outside space is good enough, Randolph is not afraid of playing anyone, and he can be hard steel when Nowitzki comes.

The Double Bear + Teacher Tony + Battier with a group of young players who are willing to defend are enough to ensure that the defense does not collapse, and today against the Thunder, the opponent only scored 97 points, and it was still scored when Durant scored 33 points in the face of Tony Allen's outburst.

But if you want to go further, unless there is a breakthrough on the outside.

But the current team structure is ......

It is also unlikely that a trade will be made, most of the powerful outside players in the East are young players, and only Sun Ce can be exchanged to get those top young outside players.

But trading Sun Ce is such a thing...... No one in the Rockets will trade Yao Ming, let alone their Grizzlies.

And it may not be easy to use Conley and Sun Ce in exchange, most of those top young outsiders have not even played in the playoffs.

The top outside line with experience in the west, people are afraid of you, and they will trade with you to have ghosts.

It's also important to note that the Grizzlies' rotation structure is too complete, conceding an average of 89 points per game, relying on a near-perfect rotation on the defensive end of the defensive end by relying on starters and benches.

Once Sun Ce's defensive awareness is raised and he joins the current defensive core Gasol Jr., their defense can be ranked among the best in NBA history.

But the problem is that they are in the west...... There are too many strong teams, if they are a team in the east, they are still afraid of a yarn, and the defense will be knocked to death, and there are only a few strong teams in the east.

In the West, they play more than 35 games a year against nine other teams in the top 10 in the West.

After a meeting with the coaching staff, Coach Hollins couldn't think of a solution, and if he had figured out, he wouldn't have been fired after being reversed by the Clippers by more than 20 points.

The better the team's record, the heavier Coach Hollins felt after the crisis was exposed.

He wandered around the hotel, thinking that the hotel he stayed in this time had an indoor court, and when he came to the door of the indoor court, he really saw that kid training.

"What is this?"

Coach Hollins watched Sun Ce practice his bottom corner three-pointers...... I've been watching it for a long time......

Coach Hollins is still very capable, and in the past two offensive games, he also knows that it has a huge relationship with Battier's 0-of-7 shooting in the bottom corner.

Of course, he wouldn't throw the pot at a 3D player like Battier, but the bottom corner of the point can't be opened, and it's a big problem!

Stretch out the space, the best position, in fact, is the bottom corner.

But the wonderful thing is that the bottom corner is the easiest place to be overlooked and the easiest to have opportunities, because once the defender guards the bottom corner, there is no good opportunity to assist and make up for the defense.

Because of this point in the bottom corner, it is difficult to block the passing and receiving route of the pitcher in the bottom corner unless it is marked!

If the bottom corner player pinches the basket player, the basket player may not be able to pass directly to the bottom corner, but he can pass the high post, and the high post will then divide the ball into the bottom corner, which is the same opportunity.

The defenders of the three-point players on both sides of the sideline and the 45-degree angle, the top arc and other directions, can directly interfere with the space of the inside line to the high post.

Coach Hollins has always been very concerned about Sun Ce's training, he is very satisfied with Sun Ce's training attitude and plan, Sun Ce's training goals have always been very clear, because he has a wonderful height advantage in the point guard position, and Sun Ce's shooting training plan that expands from the inside to the outside makes Coach Hollins very satisfied.

Now Sun Ce runs to practice the bottom corner three-point ...... And it's a three-point on the left side that is very bad......

Coach Hollins easily guessed Sun Ce's idea of improving himself to solve the team's crisis.

Coach Hollins watched Sun Ce practice for more than half an hour outside the court, and saw that Sun Ce was about to end his shooting training and go to the gym, so he left the court first, returned to the room, pondered for a while, and called Battier.

Sun Ce practiced what he was not good at by himself, and Coach Hollins felt that it was still quite unreliable, so let's find him a teacher!
