: 1226. The Grizzlies recovering

Beautiful low pass cut cooperation!
The main reason is that Sun Ce practiced in the past two months, the basket under the basket offensive new posture to score the ball!
On the sidelines, Ellis watched Sun Ce fold the layup, jumped not high, and bounced fast, and quickly reached the highest point. When he shot, he began to fall. In such a case, the stability of the movement must be guaranteed. It's difficult, but Sun Ce really used it in the game!
With such a large body size, Rao Durant has the body size advantage, and is also unable to interfere!
Start 4 to 0!
This offense, it must be said how good, it may also be the average level of coordination, these two rounds of attack purely rely on Randolph and Sun Ce's personal ability to score the goal that should not be scored theoretically.
But the Grizzlies can bring out the personal abilities of the team’s two best scorers. It’s not the kind of wave shooting. There have been earth-shaking changes!
Last time the Grizzlies averaged only 95.5 points per game!
At that time, the Thunder relied on the defense of about 4-8 players in the league. Although they were also defended by the Grizzlies, they only scored 93 points in a single game, far lower than the average of 107 points at the time of the season, but they also defended the Grizzlies. He only scored 83 points and won by defense. After all, they are also top defensive teams. So far this season, they have averaged 106.3 points and 95.9 points per game.
But this time, they couldn't limit the Grizzlies at the start!
It is mainly Perkins that has lost its previous low-level defensive dominance!
Fortunately, the next attack, Durant gave a force, received two passes from Westbrook to meet Paul George's long two-pointer, plus a three-pointer from the corner of Zefforosha, the Thunder scored. Three goals at the same time defended the Grizzlies once, and the score was 7-6.
But immediately, when Sun Ce held the ball and Randolph was pick-and-roll, he handed the player to the small Gasol who pulled to the second pick-and-roll on the left side of the three-second zone. Sun Ce used the pick-and-roll to pull down the opponent's basket and entered The inside received a high-pointer from Gasol, and the overlord deducted the 2nd level trigger. Ibaka pulled back and smashed the ball into the basket!
Sun Ce scored 6 points in a row!
8 to 7, the Grizzlies did not fall!
The Thunder coach Brooks called a timeout and replaced Perkins.
Howard's self-confidence is not alone. Most of the players who have played in some aspects of top performance for many years are the same. They are very confident in themselves, especially when they are still young.
Perkins is a player of the 03 platinum generation. This is the tenth year of his career, but he is a high school student rookie, born in November 1984, just turned 28 years old, shortly before the age of 28, theoretically it is the year of playing, himself I feel the same way, so I don’t feel like I’m declining, but I feel that I haven’t recovered my status yet.
Therefore, in the past few rounds, when Perkins defended, he still made his defensive decisions based on his previous mobility, bounce, and explosive power. Sun Ce and Randolph were playing hard.
Not only on the defensive end, Perkins was also a pastry master with a 60% shooting rate, but this season's shooting rate is 44%. As a pure attacking player, this shooting rate is not bad. Edged.
Perkins averaged 25 minutes of playing time this year, not as good as Nick Collison's average of 21 minutes of playing time.
The Grizzlies played well without substitutions. Continue to spend. Just use Paul George and Jimmy Butler to consume Durant.
...
Back from the timeout, Durant played well when he started with the most energy in each game. After receiving a pass from Westbrook, Durant hit a three-pointer against Sun Ce's defense.
Seeing Westbrook had three assists this time, Sun Ce felt that there was really no one. He couldn’t use other adjectives to describe it, except for awesome.
Sun Ce was under a lot of pressure and scored 6 points in the opening game. He was mainly afraid of his opponent's mid-range shooting defense by relying on the opponent, and created opportunities for himself to score by pick-and-roll or Randolph's low singles threat.
But after Nick Collison came up, the veteran was different from Perkins, who was the top defensive center in the league, and he did what he could do, but he was not too confident that he was against Westbrook with A-level defense. , Afro-level defense of Sephorosa, A-level defense Durant, S-level defense Ibaka's greatest help.
This led to Sun Ce's chances getting worse.
On the other hand, the Grizzlies' current starting lineup is not as good as the defense of Tony and the president. After a stalemate in the beginning, it slowly fell behind!
In the first quarter of the official suspension, the Grizzlies were 14 points behind the Thunder by 4 points!
The two teams started to change.
The Thunder replaced a combination of Westbrook, Ellis, Lamb, Durant and Ibaka.
On the Grizzlies, the lineups of Nash, Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Yi Jianlian, Lopez Jr.~EbookFREE.me~ After this lineup came on, the Grizzlies' offense on the side actually contended with the Thunder. .
Compared with the beginning of the season, the Grizzlies don't talk about the earth-shaking changes, but no matter the teammates' mutual adaptability and cooperation in the new year's strength, they have made great progress. This is compared to last season. The new running lineup is now playing better.
However, although this lineup has a strong offense, it does not have the ability to decide the outcome. When the opponent's offense is also strong, it is the defense that decides the victory and defeat. Therefore, this lineup has a slight upper hand and has actually become Sun Ce and Iba. The card's defense capability is right!
In contrast, Sun Ce does not have a team of defensive teammates to cooperate with. It is indeed inferior to Ibaka. Fortunately, their overall offense on the Grizzlies side is better. The Thunder's offensive lineup is still based on the sudden division. I don't want the Grizzlies to pass except for Lopez.
The Thunder have been playing with the Grizzlies for a long time, and they also understand the characteristics of the Grizzlies. This way they can play fast offenses and reduce confrontation. The Thunder coach Brooks is willing to do this. Durant can rely on this style of play. Catch and shoot to reduce the cost of confrontation.
The two teams in the middle have substitutions. They have been playing until the second half of the second quarter. In 11 minutes and 44 seconds, the Grizzlies scored 29 points and the Thunder scored 28 points. The two teams played 43 to 46. The Grizzlies The team was 3 points behind and entered the official timeout again.
Returning to the bench and sitting down, Sun Ce feels that he can't fight like this!
Westbrook got 7 assists in a quarter and a half, which was terrible. The Thunder clearly had very good preparations for them, and started with Jimmy Butler and Randolph. The attack was Better than Tony's teacher and the president, but the defense is worse than a grade!
