Vol 18 Chapter 1947: Heartbreaking Lakers inside

Gion! That's Gion! Before the Timberwolves drafted Towns and Love left, the sophomore could average 8.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1 steal and 1.7 blocks with Gion beside Love!
The Suns sent Clarkson and Morris, this chip is not bad, the Timberwolves have Downs, have Ingram, and Rubio, really need a power forward instead of a pure center like Gion.
For the Timberwolves, selling Gion, who was in the last year of his rookie contract, has maximized the benefits.
But what's the situation with the Suns? Although there is little Jordan, it is not good for Gion to keep playing as a substitute? Moreover, he slammed the power forward and moved fast enough. It was a bit of a waste of his ability to protect the frame in this era when the power forwards were all pulled out to shoot... Can't you just trade Clarkson and Morris for a stronger power forward? The Wizards want Morris, but the Suns think that the Tristan Thompson contract is too big to take up their space, but with Clarkson, won't the space be freed?
Now Morris is very sweet, he is stronger than his younger brother at this time, and Clarkson is not bad enough, enough to complete the trade with Tristan Thompson.
But the Suns did not want Gion, nor did they exchange two worthy trading chips for mature power forwards, but for the potential stock of Nance.
"This is... self-sacrificing? Such a high profile?"
Sun Ce really didn’t understand. Although Clarkson and Morris were not an important part of the Suns, the back line was bloated, which caused Clarkson to complain this season, and his record suppressed the contradiction. Reese wanted to leave a long time ago, but the Suns didn't know why they didn't let go... Now Sun Ce doesn't know why the Suns suddenly let go again, or the way of trading.
However, another teammate is leaving...
...
Nance was frustrated when he was traded, and when he was trying to prepare for the game with the Lakers, he was suddenly traded. The frustration can be imagined.
Team boss Paul George has to appease the player who has become a former teammate, but in a special way: "Larry, you have to be tough when you go to the Suns. You have to grab the starting position. You are our head coach. The disciple, can't lose the face of Hollins disciple!
I've seen it for you. Morris is gone. The only threat to the Suns' power forward position is Tucker's short insider and a rookie named Chris..."
With such remarks, Nance's attention was really diverted. He looked at the tablet computer in Paul George's hand. Sure enough, Morris, who was regarded by the Suns as the best starting candidate for the future power forward position, was making trouble. After going and really leaving, the Suns' power forward position is relatively weak. Compared with the "distressed" Grizzlies inside group, going to the Suns is indeed a very good option.
However, the rookie season followed the team to win the championship. Little Nance's NBA career started very different from most players, especially the team’s former boss, current boss, second brother, third brother, fourth brother... all very special, leaving like this A team's reluctance is greater than the resentment of being traded.
And Jr. Nance knows very well that he has the aura of "the Grizzlies picking rookies." If you go to other teams, you will definitely receive extra attention. Just look at the rookies that the Grizzlies have left over the years. No one is bad. The Celtics' Beverly side is expected to hit a defense this season.
Maybe the Suns are also fancy his off-ball ability and potential, although all the Grizzlies players are the same as Sun Ce, and he didn't understand why the Suns traded like this, Xiao Nance himself didn't understand...
On the other hand, after notifying that Nance was traded, neither the management nor the coaching staff came to the training ground, so as not to be questioned.
Regarding the "good intentions" of the Suns, the Grizzlies are currently taking advantage of it. Of course, they will accept it all. If Sun Ce feels that their team has not pursued three consecutive championships by then, they have to change teams. Please help mention the Suns. Assists, no less meat, and if 5 championships in 6 years...this is the dynasty of the dynasty!
Besides, if the Suns want to get Sun Ce, they have to send Antetokounmbo and another high-quality player. Otherwise, the Suns will have no room to eat Sun Ce, and Sun Ce will change teams, if not for the Clippers, go to any team. You must have the bird right a maximum salary. Antetokounmpo, the core chip of the Suns’ previous offer, must be given, otherwise the Grizzlies can assume that none of these things have happened.
Where Sun Ce plays is not just his personal business, it is related to the development of the entire league. The Chinese market, Western and Nordic markets, and South American markets are all closely related to Sun Ce.
The Chinese market, which the Grizzlies attach the most importance to, has already laid the foundation. If Sun Ce completes three consecutive championships, then even if it is complete, as long as they do not die, they will always be the home team of Chinese fans.
And where Sun Ce goes next, it will also drive the market in that city, not only the Chinese market, but also European and South American markets that will only follow where Sun Ce goes. Look at the Rio Olympics in the summer. When Sun Ce followed Yi Jianlian and led the Chinese Olympic team into the main venue of the Rio Olympic Games, all the sports fans in the audience were calling for MVP. Although a good part of them followed suit, Sun Ce was in the world of sports. The status is not lost to Jordan.
The reason why the Grizzlies cares more about the Chinese market is simple. They simply can’t afford such a big market. Sun Ce’s popularity in Europe and South America cannot be fully developed by the Grizzlies. It’s not as good as Sun Ce’s own surroundings. The product company is well developed.
The Grizzlies also sell penalty tickets to tourists from Europe and South America who come to Memphis. The money the Grizzlies earn from these people is not as good as Sun Ce's casual song writing.
It can only be said that Sun Ce stayed and completed three consecutive championships at the same time. Their Grizzlies will make a brand-new transformation of the lineup. It is time for a change; but if Sun Ce chooses to leave, it is the greatest team history they may not be able to do in the future. The great chapter of transcendence is over, and the team will enter the post-lord era.
As for the Suns, if they really get Sun Ce's love, can they develop a bigger market for Sun Ce? The Grizzlies can't control...
...
In the visiting team lounge, James used his mobile phone to connect to the FedEx Arena’s WiFi to scan the hottest news now and said to the bald history scoring king next to him: "Hey, Kobe, are the Suns crazy over there?"
The three-way trade of the Suns, Timberwolves, and Grizzlies, even Booker's 71 points in a single game, and Bryant's 61 points in a single game to refresh the historical scoring list of these two major events have been robbed of the limelight!
There are no big-name players in the deal itself. Clarkson is the one with the highest salary, with an annual salary of tens of millions.
But this trade is really weird. The Grizzlies, a second-year substitute with 5.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game, are short athletic power forwards, shotguns for cannons, and turned into Gion, who has good frame protection and good athletic ability. , Feels pretty good, and has a good setter ability. Since his rookie contract for 4 years, Gion's best year was in the second grade. That year was the only number of starts since he entered the NBA. In more than 45 seasons, he averaged 8 points, 8 rebounds, 1 steal and 1.7 blocks per game, as well as 2 assists per game.
Such a center, the Grizzlies actually replaced Nance with Jr.! Although Xiao Nansi has been seen as having potential, it is only potential. Giang is an older rookie. He is almost 27 years old in the 4th grade. He is only 10 days younger than Sun Ce. He is already at his peak, even at the 8+8 level. Much better than the current little Nance!
The Suns are now also the top four teams in the Western Conference. They brainstormed to help the Grizzlies trade for Gion?
Not in the position of the management of the Grizzlies and the Suns, and if the Suns had not made a secret application for a deal before, even the Grizzlies management might not understand.
Kobe glanced at the news and thought, "It's my shit, you guys are on it anyway", but he said: "Maybe the Suns like that guy named Nance very much."
"..."
James also saw similar comments on the Internet, but the answer was obviously funny.
The joke came out of Kobe's mouth, and James felt that the joke became cold.
Seeing the Grizzlies easily complete the reinforcements, James feels more pressured. In such an era, he can only try his best to seize the glimmer of hope that will only flash by chance, such as the 13-14 season, seize and Kobe's opportunity to partner, seize the Grizzlies' weak year due to injuries and other reasons to win the championship.
There is a championship to make the bottom, James is very patient now, wait slowly, there is always a chance, there is Leonard beside him.
...
After the warm-up, Sun Ce and his teammates entered the stadium at 7:40 in the evening.
As in previous trades, the coaching staff did not discuss with the players who was traded. The same was true when Guy and Conley were traded. Randolph’s departure from the coaching staff did not mention it. This kind of thing, in addition to talking to the core players in private, it is not a wise choice to let go of the discussion.
A team that strives to ensure stability and a smart head coach will focus on the players it has. Even if it is a player who may be coming soon, it is only possible and cannot affect the thinking of existing players. The Bulls suffered a big loss and looked to rise after the 2006-07 season. As a result, they had five starters for Kobe, and the result was a direct collapse. Fortunately, in 2008, it was lucky to draw Ross.
Without Nance, a sports power forward who has integrated into the running and bombing lineup after entering the second grade, coach Hollins still has a headache in this game. Although the return is too good to believe, he is now playing the Lakers. For the team, the power of their running and bombing lineup has been weakened a lot. Whether it is Jie Michael Green, Roll Deng who was temporarily put on the activation list, or rookie Jaylen Brown, they are unable to play the role of Nance.
On Sun Ce's side, after entering the court, he was looking at the opposing players. He was very sad about the deal a few hours ago. He remembered the past, but now he no longer thinks about it.
As the strongest player, it is normal for the players around him to come and go. The team will have the opportunity to get better help for him and will execute it decisively.
"James S+... the second man... averaged 33 minutes per game, 23.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 10.6 assists and 1.8 steals, 57+37 field goal percentage, awesome free throws, 65.3 field goal percentage. Why was it punished?
Leonard S is a bit awesome. It seems that the defense has improved this year...Strong singles, strong single defense, improved defense, passing seems to have improved, averaging 25.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2.3 steals... Playing 32 minutes per game...
Kobe, A... The state is maintained! He averaged 25 minutes of playing time per game and 18 points per game... 61 points per game directly increased the scoring average. It is estimated that it will fall back after playing for a while.
Big Lopez, A-...I changed his style of play and his strength dropped really fast, averaging 11.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists...2.6 blocks? I am! Thirty-six percent of the three-pointers hit 2.6 three-pointers per game? "
These four are the four Lakers scoring double figures per game. Kobe averaged 15 points per game before the last game, improved by 3 points per game, and played almost two minutes higher. During the time, Sun Ce estimated that Kobe can maintain a good running position, catching and shooting ability, such as playing time within 24 minutes, but it is long, unless Kobe looks like his legs are shaking, like playing the Raptors, he needs to jump up. You can keep your balance by spreading your legs on both sides but you can still make a shot. Otherwise, the longer Kobe plays, the less worry you have to worry about.
And Zhanlun combination, one of the strongest duo.
In addition to these four, there is Rondo, who averaged 5.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.2 steals per game.
The three substitutes of Louis Williams, Snell, and Nene are also very good. The next ones are Thomas Robinson, Tariq Blake, Brandon White, James Ennis, and Corey. Brewer, there are more Mike Miller who plays the role of shooting coach and Brandon Buss who is in serious decline.
The Lakers have Lopez and Nene inside. Although they are still not top-notch insiders, they are much better than last season.
The Lakers currently rank first in the West with 14 wins and 2 losses. Although Lopez lost his low singles ability after weight loss, but the pick and roll, the three-pointer, and the frame protection, these three points are a perfect match with James! Being able to open shots will not affect Leonard's singles and the Lakers' shortcomings. Sun Ce is also very clear. It is mentioned repeatedly in the scout report and team tactical meetings, that is-rebounds!
Sun Ce analyzed for a while. After the players from the two teams entered the field, the cheerleading performance time ended. The players of the two teams had a friendly pre-match interaction, mainly James and Paul George, who learned from James to deal with external relations, were similar before the match. friendly.
At 8pm, the game started.
The Grizzlies sent a combination of Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Aldridge and Gobert.
The Lakers sent a starting lineup of James, Kobe, Leonard, Tariq Blake, and Lopez.
Lopez and his younger brother Lopez are indeed twins. It’s just that when he was in college, his brother was able to endure more hardships and polished offensive basic skills very well, so he gained weight and became a low offensive center. The athleticism and defensive talents that both of their brothers have are not shown here in Lopez.
Now after weight loss, although Lopez's speed and jumping are lagging behind that of Lopez, it can be considered first-class among centers. It can be seen from the soaring blocks of Lopez after weight loss. He averaged 2.6 blocks per game in 26 minutes. The efficiency is exaggerated. The brother is indeed harder than his brother in all aspects, and he is also doing better defensively.
Ever since, Gobert managed to maintain 4 wins, 4 losses and 50% of the jump ball, and once again became a negative record... Big Lopez jumped not very high, but fast! Easily won the jump ball from Gobert, the Lakers first attack.
Have you ever seen a center who averaged 26 minutes per game but only averaged 0.4 offensive rebounds per game?
Lopez jumped to the front court and stayed on the perimeter! After James came over for the pick-and-roll, he opened and ran towards the bottom corner without any intention of cutting in.
The Grizzlies are also very good at pick-and-roll defense. They have already had a perfect defensive strategy for James’ pick-and-roll. James entered the three-point line and went outside the range of the retreat. Aldridge quickly withdrew and came to James and Lun. Between Nader's passing route, Sun Ce blocked and released Tariq-Blake's Gobert in time to change defense. Gobert blocked James at close range, and Sun Ce blocked the Tariq-Blake's cake line.
James and Gobert came to a reasonable confrontation. The ferocious impact directly pushed Gobert back a big step, but Gobert, who has played against James many times, obviously did not go as stupid as his rookie year to close to 120 kilograms. The fierce beast, who is stronger than most centers, retreats immediately after contact, and gives James a confrontation, and then uses super static physical fitness to cover the space for James to make strong shots. At the same time, the retreat also makes James lose the most The skill you are good at is the space needed to turn around.
Seeing that Sun Ce was about to squeeze up, James did not panic because he saw the movement of his teammates and grabbed the ball and threw it behind him. Leonard did not foolishly wait for a fixed-point shot, but took the initiative to move along. Running towards James’ side from the three-point line, even though Aldridge tried hard to keep up, Leonard still gave Leonard a chance to catch the ball. Leonard received the ball and made a catch and shoot. Aldridge could only fly out. After flying Aldridge, Leonard easily broke into the inside, Sun Ce and Gobert could only block, Gobert blocked, and Sun Ce was ready to block.
But this is just looking forward to Leonard's brain pumping... But Leonard is very calm in most cases, throwing the ball towards the basket, not shooting, but lob!
James reasonably slammed into the zone outside the zone and took off in situ.
Calmness, patience, tacit understanding in place, excellent use of space, coupled with super personal ability... The Lakers' first offense was almost perfect!
The use of Kobe's open space containment power, the use of Lopez's pick-and-rolls and the use of long-range shooting after the pick-and-roll, and even Tariq Blake's pie.
The tacit understanding of James and Leonard's partnership for several years is well demonstrated under the tactics of Lakers coach Frank Vogel.
James Kong scored two points, Sun Ce and Gobert couldn't help it. After the ball landed, Sun Ce picked it up and sent it to Paul George.
When James jumped up and dunked on the Lakers side, Lopez, Tariq Blake, and Kobe had already retired, and James and Leonard also retired quickly.
Compared with the Grizzlies’ first encounter with the Lakers in the new season, they can only deal with the Lakers based on experience, scouting reports and video research. The changes are quite a bit...in fact, the space is better after the center position is greatly upgraded. Later tactics, the Grizzlies' starting lineup play, the Lakers are very clear.
Being clear, understanding, and seeing through doesn’t mean it can be dealt with. The triangle offensive of using Sun Ce’s low back to Leonard as the offensive starting point, Aldridge’s response, and double 3D running positions to find opportunities to catch the ball and shoot the ball quickly unfolded, and the Lakers’ defense was successful. Very hard, it was defeated by Aldridge's through pass. Gobert cut into the bottom line to receive Aldridge's low pass to the basket and scored two points.
Lopez's close range and defense at the basket are enough, and even when the prediction is in place, he can switch defenses like his brother, but Tariq Blake, the nickname of the big black, is a short inside line. It looks fierce, and it is very morale boost when the block is successful, but the defensive effect is very average. Given an inductive move or score, he was tricked away, and Kobe barely followed Klay Thompson. That's all, if the power forward's defense is qualified, it's okay, but the defensive loopholes in the power forward position make it obvious that Kobe is aging.
However, the Lakers didn’t want to suppress the Grizzlies with the starter. The Grizzlies’ starter got stronger with Gobert’s progress... it was Gobert’s progress because he was short at first. The board, his improvement, represents the improvement of the lower limit. The Lakers, which are not good at signing during the offseason, can hardly rely on the starting lineup to suppress the complete starting lineup for the Grizzlies.
The goal of the Lakers is to rely on offense to hold back, wait until the rotation of the lineup, especially today the Grizzlies complete the transaction, the new aid can not be played, Xiao Nance is no longer a Grizzlies player, the most powerful running lineup in the rotation lineup Weakened, this is an opportunity for the Lakers!
Of course, if the Lakers feel a burst, then you don't need to worry about that much, but when both teams can only say that the state is good instead of breaking out, the Lakers' choice is to make good use of all available conditions.
Facing the offense of the Lakers, the Grizzlies can't help it!
Not only is the Grizzlies unable to guard it, the Lakers will take care of the offense if their hearts are crossed, and don’t even think about adjusting the lineup to strengthen the defense. No team in the league can guard it. The Lakers are 14 wins and 2 losses. The record is not played out casually, or it is played out by offense.
The presence of the old Mamba and Big Black did make the Lakers' defensive loopholes infinitely magnified, but tonight, the Lakers coach Frank Vogel sent both of them to the start for the purpose of strengthening the offense.
Kobe's defense has degraded to a good marginal level, that is, when his teammates have no problems with their defenses, he can make no mistakes. Once his teammates have problems with their defenses, he can't keep up with that kind of defense, but his offensive skills are solid and when his defense is low. It's okay to carry it.
Tariq Blake’s defense at one point did bring down the Lakers’ defense, but he is the Lakers’ strongest player in eating cakes. He has excellent mobility on the offensive end, with James dominating the ball and Leonard assisting. Under the circumstances, the offensive effect is obvious... The main reason is that Lopez gave him the inside space.
Facing the offense of the Lakers, the Grizzlies are struggling defensively. To some extent, Sun Ce feels that they are like the Spurs in the 2006-07 playoffs meeting the Suns with a desperate attack.
The Lakers' tactics are very simple, that is, after James used the pick and roll to break through, and Leonard's double cooperation, Kobe and Lopez are both catching pitchers, and Tariq Blake eats cakes.
Compared with last season, the Lakers have one more big Lopez, and their offensive firepower immediately climbed to the top of the league... But this makes the Grizzlies opponent team players can't help but "distressed" last season Lakers perimeter players, how miserable were they last year?
The Grizzlies face the Lakers coach Frank Vogel’s tactic. As long as the starting lineup implements this tactic, the Grizzlies have only three options. The first is to give James a three-point chance to retreat. The second is to let Leonard and Lopez make mid-range shots or let Tariq Blake eat pie, and the last one is to watch James break into the post one-on-one.
Otherwise, they will inevitably fall into the two-person cooperation between James and Leonard, and the cooperation between the two is too simple, relying on personal ability, nothing else, these two people make Sun Ce's full defense hard to prevent.
The shortcomings of this tactic are also obvious. In case the Grizzlies put mid-range shots and the Lakers can’t make them, there is no way at all. They are one of the worst teams in the league in rebounding, both offensive and defensive rebounds. Ranked last in the league.
But Kobe just scored 61 points in the last game. In this game, he didn't make any random shots and continued the feel of the previous game...
Halfway through the first quarter, the two teams both scored 20 points!
In this posture, both teams rushed to 40+ in a single quarter! 24 to 22, the Lakers led by two points into the first official timeout!
...
Coach Hollins was also surprised by the offensive firepower of the Lakers, because the Lakers usually use Thomas Robinson as the starting power forward. The strength is not good, but the defensive awareness is good, just thinner, and the offense is not Tarry. Ke Blake is so good, his defensive effect is much better, and his athletic ability is equally good. With James commanding, it is not a loophole.
But after putting Tariq Blake on the starting lineup, the Lakers' offense was directly insoluble.
At this time, if it is another head coach, he may try to respond with a defensive lineup to contain the Lakers' offense.
Xiao Nance was traded away. The running and bombing lineup needs to be rebuilt to perfection. Choosing a defensive lineup for the rotation stage is the safest choice. It takes time to fight and drags it to the critical moment. Use Sun Ce's ability to solve the problem...
But coach Hollins did not do so when the official timeout, instead sent a combination of Sun Ce, Brogdon, Carter, Klay Thompson, and Yi Jianlian!
On the Lakers side, after the official timeout, they sent a combination of Rondo, Snell, Leonard, James, and Nene. After Aldridge went down, James was unstoppable at the power forward position.
However, looking at the Grizzlies' lineup, it greatly exceeded the Lakers' expectations!
And the Grizzlies' ball-handling candidates also exceeded the expectations of the Lakers coach Frank Vogel!
The Grizzlies came up with this lineup. The first reaction of the Lakers players was that the Grizzlies had to barely play running and bombing. Brogdon had not participated in the Grizzlies running and bombing style. It seemed that running and bombing could be played by anyone. But apart from Rondo’s Spurs, Paul’s Knicks, Nash’s Suns, Sun Ce’s Grizzlies, and Lawson’s Nuggets, from 10 years ago to the present, other ball imitating running and bombing The team, all of them uselessly.
The Grizzlies seem to be very unrestrained, but there are always those few candidates, and they will never be changed easily. This is why the Lakers coach believes that the Grizzlies will not reluctantly fight.
But with this lineup, the Lakers players and even their head coach think that the Grizzlies are betting, so they are subconsciously prepared to prevent running and bombing, and are ready to cut into defense from the rookie Brogdon. Brogdon is very adaptable. , But it's just a strong adaptability. This is not even the time to adapt. It can definitely be used.
However, the Grizzlies did not run and blast, but let Sun Ce, Carter, Klay Thompson, and Yi Jianlian play off the ball and play with the sticky Brogdon!
From Carter's point of view, this is playing with rookies. They feel incredible about the head coach's arrangement, but Sun Ce is playing with him. Klay Thompson and Yi Jianlian joined the Grizzlies and started doing whatever Sun Ce said. Anyway, they They are all playing without the ball, everyone is the same, and they are not to blame for playing bad.
However, this lineup played more than a whole quarter, and it seemed like a joke that the first man in history to play for the rookie, but it was miraculous!
The Grizzlies didn't play offense, but used Brogdon to hit the pick and roll! In terms of strength, Brogdon also has weak team starting strength. He has good ball handling ability and is very sticky. Teammates will pass when they have a chance. Otherwise, they believe in their own ability. The ball is still sticky. At this time, the most important thing for the Grizzlies’ offense is not how well Brogdon organizes offense. His ability to organize offense is not bad, but he can’t make full use of the current level of these four teammates.
The Grizzlies’ offense played well because Sun Ce helped Brogdon to create an offensive opportunity as a pick-and-roll executor. Carter and Klay Thompson tried their best to find three-point opportunities. Yi Jianlian’s off-the-ball pick-and-roll + look for cut-in opportunities + pull Shooting...It's the other people who are looking for an open space. When the teammates find a way to create an open space, Brogdon's pass is still in place. If he fails to pass, he must be replaced immediately.
But since he has not been replaced, it means he has done what coach Hollins needs him to do!
Once the offense is not smooth, it is very simple, just give the ball to Sun Ce.
With teammates experiencing more physical exertion than usual, running more attentively than usual, reading and thinking about the opponent's defense faster than usual, the Grizzlies continued their offense in the first half of the first quarter. Performance, in the 13 minutes between the official timeout in the first quarter and the official timeout in the second quarter, he soared 38 points and played a wave of 38 to 30!
The Lakers' defensive plan was directly defeated by coach Hollins' unexpected changes, and the break was not adjusted. It was strange that it could be adjusted so quickly.
Fortunately, the Lakers also put on the offensive lineup ahead of time and tightened the score. By the time of the official timeout in the second quarter, the Lakers didn't let the Grizzlies, who had already overtaken the score, widened the gap in one fell swoop.
Looking at the 52-58 score, Frank Vogel finally understood why those famous coaches who played against the Grizzlies in the playoffs would call the only best coach in Lianzhuang on the other side as the "sly bald".
Obviously their Lakers are using offense to hold the situation, but the Grizzlies instead used their Lakers' loopholes, that is, the defensive level is average.
Now, Frank Vogel has reviewed the half-time of the quarter and analyzed it all at once. In the first half of the first quarter, the Grizzlies were using their Lakers' offensive stage to let Sun Ce and Klay Thompson take advantage of The touch came out, and then he used the touch of the Splash Brothers to unexpectedly use Brogdon to organize the attack.
It doesn’t need Brogden’s ability to organize offense, just pass the ball honestly. Sun Ce and Klay Thompson’s containment power can well bring the Grizzlies’ offense.
"But if they play like this, the players with this rookie partner should be exhausted enough, right?" Frank Vogel found that he had found another point that he could use, but it was a pity that he didn't make such preparations this time. In the first half of the second quarter, the Lakers were also forced to follow the Grizzlies hurriedly offensive, otherwise the points difference will really be opened.
On the other side, the Grizzlies bench, just like Frank Vogel guessed, except for Brogdon, who was so enthusiastic to fly and never found himself so "powerful" in organizing offenses, Brogdon was very happy. With more game time, he played well. The other four players who played 13 minutes, including Sun Ce, were exhausted enough!
It is really purely relying on the abilities of the four best players on the team to play off the ball, that makes the team's offense so good. The point guard position plays a role in connecting the team's offense... !
Brogdon also knew what was going on. In this cooperation, he learned a lot. He sat down with a smirk and thought about the experience he had learned in the game, and concluded...
Sun Ce originally planned to use physical potions, but coach Hollins replaced him and let him rest. Half the game time + intermission time. For such a long time, Sun Ce didn't need physical potions.
The combination of Tony Allen, Paul George, Jaylen Brown, Jeffrey Green and Gobert was replaced by coach Hollins.
Use an offensive and defensive lineup in regular time? Playing the Lakers, the offensive team that can send one of the best lineups in the league, coach Hollins did not do that, but went to extremes like the Lakers! Although it is possible that the Lakers will bite the score and drag it down, at least it is the way they choose by the Grizzlies, not the rhythm arranged by the Lakers.
The control of the rhythm represents the ownership of the initiative.
No, the Grizzlies, who grabbed the initiative, played a wave of 9-6 in the last 4 minutes before the official timeout! Mainly relying on defense, offensive end... Paul George scored two three-pointers alone, he was in the mentality of making the second half and the third brother, and the other two three-pointers. People only scored 3 points in their shots, but they were well guarded! Taking advantage of the good offensive players of the opposing team also came to the time period that needed a rest, the Grizzlies relied on defense to stretch the point difference to 9 points! Entered into the intermission with a score of 67 to 58.
The balance of victory has already tilted towards the Grizzlies. Originally, coach Hollins just wanted to take the initiative. It didn’t matter if he was three or five points ahead or three or five points behind to enter the second half, but the control of the rhythm changes was on their side. .
But Paul George made two strong three-pointers surprisingly. Not only did the Grizzlies take the initiative, they also had a 9-point lead!
For the Lakers, they had to bite the bullet and fight in the third quarter.
There is indeed a gap in strength. They want to play tricks, but they didn't expect that the defending champion of the Grizzlies, the most stable team in the league, actually played more unexpectedly than their Lakers.
Who the will make four famous stars and even one of them may be the strongest since the sport of basketball to give a rookie a run for the team's offense?
The Grizzlies did just that!
When the offensive lineup of the two teams was exhausted, Paul George and Gobert, who were still energized, brought three defensive players up to attack...
After returning from the intermission, the Lakers sent a combination of Louis Williams, Kobe, Leonard, Brandon White, and Nene.
For the Grizzlies, Sun Ce has not been replaced for the time being. A combination of Brogdon, Paul George, Jaylen Brown, Jeffrey Green, and Gobert has played. Except for Teacher Tony, he has been replaced by Brogdon. change.
The defensive end is not weakened much, because Tony Allen is seriously degraded, more can only rely on experience, Brogdon can also share the pressure on Paul George on the offensive end.
The Lakers will definitely try to chase points at the beginning of the second half, and they will definitely play star tactics. The Grizzlies are already prepared, but the ferocity of the stars on the Lakers's side is still beyond expectations!
It is not the old Mamba who ran away the night before, but Louis Williams!
Under the whistle-blowing scale of the regular season, even if the Grizzlies had already raised the confrontation in the last few minutes of the first half, Louis Williams still flew! In contrast to the first half, when Louis Williams came on the court, he could only cooperate with James and Leonard. Now Louis Williams, who is now holding the ball and starting the main attack, showed his super strong ability to fight.
Relying on Kobe's containment, Leonard's threats and rushing, Louis Williams led the Lakers to a wave of 16 to 9!
Luis Williams is definitely one of the players who have benefited the most from the small ball era! The playoffs in this era are okay. David Stern hasn’t played the NBA badly, but in the regular season, players like Louis Williams who are not well organized at the first position and are not tall enough for the second position are in rhythm. Speeding up, weakening the confrontation, and improving the league's overall three-point level are obviously better than before the league began to adjust the defensive rules in 2014.
Seeing the point difference was reduced to two points, the Grizzlies quickly called a timeout.
Sun Ce came back from the intermission and hadn't sat hot on the bench, less than 4 minutes! Louis Williams scored 7 points and 2 assists, plus Leonard's two singles, the point difference was actually reduced to two points!
Looking at Louis Williams, who has gone against the trend at the age of 30, Sun Ce has a big head. Not to mention, Sun Ce feels that the current situation makes James play hard and the effect may not be as effective as Louis Williams’ chaos. Well, a player like Louis Williams who has the attributes of a nerve knife, God knows how he will play.
Although Louis Williams will plummet in the playoffs, he is only a regular season player, but now it is the regular season!
I thought I could take a little more rest. Sun Ce took off the training uniform that he put on him. There was no suspense. Coach Hollins called his name and the names of Klay Thompson and Aldridge. Paul George and Gobert didn’t. Being replaced means that the Grizzlies are back in the starting lineup.
After a timeout, I saw that the opposite Louis Williams was not replaced. James was replaced by Kobe. Sun Ce guessed that. Although Kobe is the third highest scoring player per game for the Lakers this season, Louis- Although Williams is not averaging double figures per game, it is usually Louis Williams when it is an anxious time period or when it is necessary to chase points. Kobe is just a stable veteran and can occasionally break out. But Louis Williams Sis has shown a stronger ability than any season in the first 11 years of his career, but the Lakers did not allow him to play for too long, but his ability, the Lakers coach has been relying heavily on this season.
However, this is an opportunity for Sun Ce!
Whether it is a fan or a player, Sun Ce has always felt that Louis Williams has a bad defense. Even the now 38-year-old Kobe has better defense than Louis Williams. If Kobe continues to play, he will be able to defend against his teammates. When it’s good, don’t hold back, UU reading www.uukanshu.com As for Louis Williams...
The timeout ended and the game continued. The Grizzlies attacked and served from the front court. Sun Ce directly asked for the ball to Aldridge who served the ball. After receiving the ball, he faced Leonard's defense on the outside and looked for Klay who was defending by Louis Williams. -Thompson pick and roll.
Klay Thompson blocked Leonard. Just when Sun Ce tried to use the pick-and-roll to call Louis Williams, he did not move. He followed Klay Thompson to prevent the pick-and-roll Louis-Williams. Like a fly on his head, he directly collided with Leonard who predicted that Sun Ce would retreat half a step ahead of the pick and roll!
As soon as Sun Ce was about to move, he saw the two colliding with each other. Only then did he realize that Leonard's prediction was accurate! If it weren't for Louis Williams' unexplainable move on the defensive end and Leonard's collision and frightened his Sun, his pick-and-roll with Klay Thompson would be a waste of effort.
Seeing that Louis Williams took the initiative to hit his teammates and knocked him down, at the same time he almost tripped over Leonard, the fans on the scene were shocked! What kind of fairy defense is this?
On Sun Ce's side, he froze for a while, and quickly broke through to the inside, evading the defense of James, who had rushed up to fill up the defense, and entered the inside. Thomas Robinson and Lopez hurriedly closed the net, still a shot slower, Sun Ce The two took off immediately before they received the basket and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.
Just as Sun Ce smashed the ball into the rim, the two men who rushed back could not stop their feet and rushed to the bottom of the rim. It looked like Sun Ce made a breakthrough dunk through the two!
Moreover, in terms of visual effects, Sun Ce broke through the dunk this time, "passing" the defense of 5 people!
Really-one pick five!
