875.Little Overlord's Super Bench Point Guard (2nd Update 5K)
Sun Ce had neither physical fitness medicine nor a reliable star experience card today, so he honestly sat on the bench when it came to the rotation stage.
Sun Ce was not worried at all about the assist of the attack launched by Rossby by blocking and dismantling, and let Rose pass the ball by blocking and dismantling, if he received such a request at this stage, he would not play the ball.
He has the occasional pick-and-roll assist, but that's only occasionally, and his 9.6 assists per game isn't like that.
Aside from the fact that he gave Boozer an assist and Rohr Deng an assist when attacking around Korver, normally his assists are concentrated in the next period.
Looking at the lineup sent by the Bulls to send Rose, Korver, Ronnie Brewer, Gibson, and Noah, Sun Ce knew that the biggest change for the Bulls this season and last season was coming!
On the Grizzlies' side, Nash, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, and Jordan Jr. were replaced.
Talent is important, and it may be difficult for Klay Thompson to play at critical moments like Neal at the moment, but Coach Hollins obviously prefers to focus on developing Klay Thompson rather than Neal, a pure role player who has reached his peak.
The Grizzlies' run-and-gun tactics kicked off.
However, as Sun Ce expected, the Bulls launched a brisk transition offense, and they fought against Biao!
Rose has reduced those ankle-wrenching breakaways this season, so why has his assists per game increased? Sun Ce watched the Bulls' first three games and found that the Bulls had changed this season.
Sloan, who started as a head coach in the 70s, why did he still lead the team to the Western Conference finals in the first decade of the 21st century?
Just because he will go with the flow.
Twice I met a Zen master with the strength to compete for the championship, which was a way to pour blood mold.
But Sloan doesn't only have a pick-and-roll system, of course, blocking and pick-and-roll will never go out of style, Sloan wants Rose to have a unique skill, not the kind of unique skill that relies on physical fitness to work under the basket, but a unique skill that can connect the whole team, that is, blocking and organizing offense.
But now Rose doesn't have those basic skills, and Sloan won't immediately force Rose to play DeLong's style of play, which is unrealistic.
But that doesn't mean you can't bring out the best in Rose, and in the late 90s, Stockton's playing time was limited to just over 30 minutes, so who was in possession of the rest of the time?
It wasn't Hornacek, Hornacek was the endpoint and setter, and the team commander was Howard Ellis, the 188-centimeter point guard of the Jazz at the time!
Defensive transition of assault scoring + points is what Howard Ellis is good at, and Rose can obviously do better, and defensive shifts can greatly reduce Rose's unnecessary change of direction.
In Sloan's view, many of Rose's balls were unnecessary changes of direction.
Rose himself wants to change his style of play, and Sloan also wants to create opportunities for him to change his style of play, and cooperate tacitly.
Riding the wave of the brisk offense that the Spurs brought up last season...... It's not a trend yet, but Sloan thinks it's going to be a trend, and he's been a head coach for more than 30 years, and he's still considered a top coach when he resigns from the Jazz, relying on following the trend, adapting to the times, changing his style of play, and adapting to the rules.
With the fast center Noah, the athletic power forward Gibson, the pitcher Korver, and the swingman who can cut into Ronnie Brewer, with Rose, he works hard to defend and play offensive and defensive transitions.
However, since Sun Ce on the Grizzlies' side knows that the other party has this tactic, the coaching staff must also know that they have been prepared for a long time, and Nash is ready to confront Rose.
Nash was very excited, he thought he was going to slowly wither away with the Suns, who knew that he was helping the delusional imp who had never even played in the NCAA and wanted to enter the NBA, and suddenly won the MVP one day, ran to him and said: Dare to go with me to break into a new era?
And then he had the current group of teammates.
Ginger is still old and spicy!
Sloane's side tried to rely on Rose's impact to lead the whole team and play offensive and defensive transitions, but unfortunately ran into Nash.
Nash began to select teammates who could play with him at the end of September, and started training early, and the duo were both seven-foot big, and Noah, a defensive stalwart who did not lose to Gasol Jr., felt his scalp tingle.
Noah couldn't be passionate even if he wanted to be passionate, and the two men with strange hairstyles on the other side were more passionate and intimidating than him.
In 5 minutes and 21 seconds, Nash had 5 points and 3 assists, helping the team to play a wave of 16-12!
With a three-point shot after a block, a horse archery on his own break, and three assists, Nash taught Rose who began to use his impact to lead the team to play defensive counterattacks.
Although Rose also had 6 points and 2 assists, his role was really not as good as Nash's.
Nash with a run-and-run, can play a counterattack offensive with Westbrook and Durant, Rose has just started to get into this style of play, and it is still far from being compared to Nash.
At the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies led the Bulls by five points 29-24 and went into the intermission.
Sloane is served!
The Grizzlies can actually trade Conley for Nash!
Sloan watched the video of the opening game between the Grizzlies and the Spurs, and the Grizzlies were able to suppress the Spurs during the time period, relying on the orthodox running and bombing brought by Nash, because it had been proven last season that Sun Ce's running and bombing was not the offensive opponent of the Spurs system.
Although there is no such thing as the Grizzlies becoming Grizzlies + Suns after having Nash, with Nash, Sun Ce was able to liberate himself from the point of blocking and dismantling the ball carrier in the rotation stage, and had an All-Star level bench that was several times stronger than Conley at this stage!
No, the break is over, and Sloan sees the lineup of Sun Ce, Nash, Neil, Klay Thompson, and Jordan Jr. on the court!
……
Sun Ce feels that it is cool to have Nash here!
Playing the Bulls last season, if their Grizzlies team failed to rely on defense to open up the point difference in the opening stage, Sun Ce would have to come by himself in the rotation stage, and it was likely that he would play the first half, leaving hidden dangers in the third quarter, and in the third quarter, he could only rely on Randolph to open the situation with his personal offense.
And suddenly adjusted from the opening position to the counterattack ball carrier, once Sun Ce has no passing opportunities and does not go deep into the basket, his baseline hook and mid-range shooting will also be affected.
But now with Nash, Sun Ce can rest for a few minutes, and he can also use some time to adjust his playing mentality and get rid of the playing style in singles + passing + assisted defense.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Rose's side went down to rest, and the Bulls sent a lineup of Earl Watson, Hamilton, Rohr Deng, Boozer, and Asik to play defense.
Sun Ce met his only old opponent in the summer league – Earl Watson.
In the first three games, Earl Watson averaged 9 points and 4 assists per game.
The Bulls started the season in a terrible place where they averaged just 98 points per game in three games, but averaged 24.6 assists per game!
Earl Watson wanted to compete with Sun Ce when he saw him.
was competing for playing time in the summer league back then, and now, he is already the MVP, and he Watson is still a substitute and a pioneer in the chaos, but he just wants to have a wave with Sun Ce.
Sloan felt that he couldn't beat the offense, so he began to press the rhythm and grind the positional battle, while Nash led the team to work hard to speed up, with Sun Ce, the counterattack vanguard, he could directly impact the basket, catch the ball and shoot, and also make a second pass...... The way the defenders play.
At this stage, although the Grizzlies failed to continue to open up the point difference, and before the official timeout in the second quarter, Asik was shot high and high by four consecutive attacks, but the Grizzlies just wanted to start fast, and the success rate was average, and it didn't matter if they couldn't prevent it, just take the lead.
Halfway through the second quarter, the Grizzlies led the Bulls by three points at 43-40 heading into an official timeout.
……
With a three-point lead remaining, Coach Hollins feels like he's underestimating Nash's abilities.
Generally speaking, this veteran who changes teams at an age will basically fade out of the rotation when he arrives in the new team, even if he played well last season, it will be the same, such as David West in the future, who gave up his annual salary of tens of millions to hug his thighs, and suddenly changed from an average of 15+7 to a 4+3 level per game, and soon ran out of balls.
Originally, Coach Hollins was just counting on Nash to be able to shoot open three-pointers when he was paired with the starting lineup, and sort out the running in the rotation phase.
And deliberately send the best and most suitable teammates to Nash, so that Nash can continue his form.
Good guys, Nash is playing like an All-Star!
After playing almost 12 points, Nash had seven points and five assists, and he was honorably rested.
In these 12 minutes, the Grizzlies scored 30 points!
And although he lost a few points in the first half of the second quarter, he was beaten by the opponent Asik for a few rounds with 8 points in a row, but the score was not overtaken!
Moreover, Nash tried his best to lead his teammates to reduce the confrontation with the opponent and score easily, mainly by using the pass to help Sun Ce avoid excessive physical exertion, and Sun Ce's 6 points and 2 assists in this half quarter were easily obtained.
At present, Sun Ce has 10 points, 6 boards, 4 assists and 2 blocks, but he feels that his physical condition is not much different from when he first came on the court in the second quarter.
And Nash, on the other hand, didn't feel how much he needed to be surprised by how much he was playing.
If he is five years younger, gives Klay Thompson, Neal, Paul George, and the Double Emperor to him, and two pitchers who can run, he can change teams and compete for MVP with Sun Ce, Rose, James and others!
Now he doesn't need to think about the physical strength of the last quarter, and it is too easy for him to concentrate on the two tasks of playing the rotation stage well and helping Sun Ce save physical strength.
Watching the lineup of Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Battier, Randolph, and Jordan Jr. on the court, Nash lay on the way to the players' tunnel to relieve the pressure on his back, and had to continue to run for a while in the third quarter.
Lying down after playing for a while, Nash wants to be a really-lying big handsome guy.
……
The Bulls also sent the main lineup, with Rose, Korver, Rohr Deng, Boozer, and Noah on the court.
Sun Ce is ready to play the rest of the time, staring at the Ross defense!
As the game continued, it seemed that the Grizzlies focused on guarding Rose's passes and scoring, and Noah began to take on the role of organizing the offense, coming to the high post pass, and Boozer and Rohr Deng and Korver became the main scorers.
The game is always a matter of rapid change, and it just so happened that Randolph's side didn't shoot so accurately in the second half of the second quarter, and at halftime, the Bulls went into the third quarter with a two-point lead of 54-52.
The importance of Randolph is undoubted, he didn't play well, the Grizzlies only scored 9 points in the second half of the second quarter, and the offense of Sun Ce and others was also affected, the Bulls' defensive execution was very strong, Randolph's side couldn't shoot, and the Bulls relied on Boozer's tonnage and Noah's help defense to vacate Randolph without letting Randolph enter the interior, giving Randolph a chance to shoot and defend others.
The Bulls also played well in positional warfare, with Rose being targeted and others attacking.
Although Rose only had 12 points and 4 assists at halftime, he still had a very positive effect on the Bulls.
This is a situation that Sun Ce has not encountered before, last season's Bulls team, even in the second half of the season when Sloan joined, as long as Rose did not play well, the whole Bulls team did not play well.
But after half a season of adjustments, a summer plan, and preparations before the start of the new season, the Bulls are very different from before.
At halftime, after Sun Ce and Coach Hollins discussed, the second half changed the way of playing!
Since Randolph's side needs time to adjust, we can only start with him!
……
Coming back in the third quarter, Nash had to rest for a while, and the Grizzlies were ready to suddenly change their rhythm in the second half of the third quarter.
Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Battier, Randolph, Yi Jianlian played.
Or continue to fight positional warfare.
On the Bulls' side, Rose was replaced to rest, and Earl Watson played well in the first half of the second quarter and was substituted again, with the lineup of Hamilton, Korver, Gibson, and Noah on the court.
The Bulls' lineup defends and defends fast breaks, Noah guards the basket, has enough speed, and from Earl Watson to Gibson, they are all types that can run and can block three-pointers.
However, the Bulls didn't expect the Grizzlies to come back in the second half and send a positional lineup!
It's not the same as the three games in which Nash wasn't rested in the Grizzlies' first four games!
Earl Watson fought the madman, and there was a pass this season, but he still focused on individual scoring, borrowing Gibson to block and dismantle the strong inside line and throwing it, and was hatted by Sun Ce when he was resisted by Yi Jianlian.
And Sun Ce also grabbed the ball by himself!
The Bulls' lineup retreated very quickly, and Sun Ce didn't think about a fast attack, and steadily advanced to the frontcourt.
When he got to the frontcourt, Sun Ce passed the ball to Randolph, who came to the top arc and no one cared about it, ran to the right side of the free throw line and leaned on Korver to ask for the ball.
Sun Ce waited for Klay Thompson to come to the left 45-degree angle outside the three-point line, Battier came to the bottom corner on the right, Yi Jianlian pulled to the right low post, and after the space was opened, he began to dribble and hit Korver.
Korver's defense was not good, but the defense was very serious, Sun Ce suddenly turned around, and Korver hurriedly retreated.
But Sun Ce's turning action is a feint!
When Korver took a step back, Sun Ce rolled over and jumped......
Nice turnaround jumper hit.
Sun Ce's 12th turnaround jumper of the season hit!
When Sun Ce came up, he relied on 1 hat, 1 board and 1 mid-range shot to help the team tie the score.
When it came to the Bulls' offense, Earl Watson calmed down and passed the ball to Noah, who distributed the ball to Hamilton, who ran out of space with Neil, and the opportunity was good, but Hamilton didn't shoot.
With Yi Jianlian and Randolph helping to block people, Sun Ce collected the defensive rebound.
Advancing to the frontcourt, Sun Ce continued to fall to the high position.
This time, Sun Ce waited for his teammates to open up space and hit Korver with his back, and turned around again...... This time Korver didn't back down, but Sun Ce really turned around!
Korver hurriedly wanted to catch up, but was blocked by Yi Jianlian, who took the initiative to pull up from the low position on the right side.
Noah was not timely enough to change the defense, and the high back played the block and dismantle, which is still very rare, when Sun Ce burst to the inside, Gibson blocked it, and Sun Ce distributed the ball to Randolph on the left baseline......
The mid-range shot still didn't go in, and Gibson pressed Sun Ce to grab the defensive rebound.
Fortunately, the score has been tied, and the Grizzlies have returned to the backcourt and started to work hard to defend.
Rose and Boozer were not there, the Grizzlies had enough defense for this lineup, Klay Thompson and Korver were following closely, Hamilton was not in good shape, and Sun Ce was mainly responsible for helping to defend the basket and successfully defended the Bulls' offense.
Randolph happily picked up a defensive rebound that fell directly into his arms, Sun Ce received Randolph's pass to the front court and directly broke through with Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian cut in after blocking and dismantling, plus Sun Ce's threat of breaking through the bottom line hook, attracted the defense of Gibson, Noah, and Korver, and Sun Ce passed back to Randolph who ran to the free throw line!
It's about feeding Randolph the ball and letting Randolph get his feel back.
The trust was rewarded, and this time Randolph hit the mid-range catch!
Randolph scored two points in the second half of the second quarter with only offensive rebounds, and finally made another mid-range shot.
Sun Ce alone can't get the opponent alone, for example, Korver can ignore Sun Ce's cut-in, only prevent shooting, Sun Ce has Noah to make up for the bottom line, and Gibson to make up for the basket, if Randolph can't shoot in the vacant position, Sun Ce has no way, and the first attack on Korver has not yet reacted Sun Ce turned over and made a jump shot.
But Randolph could shoot, and Sun Ce took advantage of Randolph's threat and began to play with his back in a row to borrow Yi Jianlian's block to score under the basket or score for his teammates.
The Grizzlies are playing offense at this stage and are doing a great job defensively.
In 5 minutes, the Grizzlies played a wave of 12-6!
The offensive efficiency is average, but the Grizzlies' lineup offense is average, the purpose of this lineup is to suppress the opponent by defense when Rose and Boozer are not on the line, this is the experience of the first half of the second quarter, this lineup has the ability to prevent run-and-shoot and the ability to play high and high on the offensive end, so the Grizzlies don't play run-and-run.
The Bulls called a timeout!
In these 5 minutes, Sun Ce got 6 points, 3 boards, 2 assists and 2 blocks, and his data increased to 16 points, 9 boards, 6 assists and 4 blocks!
More than 5 minutes after the second quarter and 5 minutes before the third quarter, the comparison of Sun Ce's performance made the fans feel too weird.
When his teammates didn't play well on the offensive end, Sun Ce's performance declined rapidly, and except for rebounds and blocks, he didn't play well in other aspects.
But the offensive feeling of his teammates is coming, and Sun Ce's scoring and assists have risen in an all-round way!
Sun Ce played for a total of 24 minutes, and it was almost 4 times 5!
Sun Ce's characteristics of relying on the team and relying on the system are vividly displayed, and he seems to be a player who usually has many weaknesses except for when he breaks out.
However, the Grizzlies can't stand the 11-man rotation this year!
