At 7:40 pm on March 23, 2014, the Timberwolves' away game against the Grizzlies was about to start.
Looking at Sun Ce on the opposite side, Carrefour was not reconciled. He was almost able to partner with Sun Ce, but the Timberwolves management did not know what to think. Seeing the Grizzlies quotation, I want the lion to speak, don’t be small. Saul and Paul George want Paul George to have at least three top ten picks at the same time. This asking price is not too high for people. He is worth at least two top picks.
However, the Grizzlies have Sun Ce, and the record cannot be worse. Moreover, the Grizzlies are trying to trade out Gasol. It is impossible for other teams to exchange too many high draft picks for Gasol. Well, knowing that if a team like the Grizzlies asks for a higher draft pick, it must be for the next trade. It is unlikely to help the Grizzlies who have already won two consecutive championships to complete a three-way trade.
When Gasol Jr. was sent to other teams, the Grizzlies did not have the chips to match his salary at Love, and the Grizzlies had decided to use the outside trio as the core.
Judging from the experience of Kobe and Yao Ming, Kobe and Garnett having a partner opportunity, but they have never been able to make a trip and never have a partner opportunity, Love is very clear that if the opportunity is missed, it is really missed. At least they are both currently in This stage of the middle and early career was really missed.
On the other side, Sun Ce, who had just greeted Love and returned to his home for the final preparations before the game, said to Whiteside: "Hassan, look across, Love, Pekovic, you will wait. You will definitely come off the bench. When you attack you don’t care about anything else, just take charge of the offensive rebounds and beat them!"
"..." Whiteside listened to Sun Ce and didn't know how to answer.
He didn't really have much confidence in himself... He entered the NBA in 2010. He played only one game in the first year and 18 games in the second year. He spent the rest of the first two years playing in the Development League.
Last season and this season, played in China's low-level league NBL.
Just back in the NBA, this superstar who took his "talent" to let the team leave him left him to play with this season's 26 points and 13 rebounds per game and 17 points and 9 rebounds per game. Kovic's double-tower hard steel inside the league's first few inside! Whiteside felt like he was dreaming...
But it was difficult to sign the contract, the third brother... Whiteside heard that young players such as Klay Thompson and Paul George, Larry Sanders and so on called Sun Ce, and he called accordingly, since the third brother so ordered Then, Whiteside did what he asked.
When he was under the guidance of Dave Jorge yesterday, Whiteside also learned about the team's needs for the inside line-defensive rebounds are the main card position, and offensive rebounds are desperate.
After instructing Dabaibian to work with Love and Pekovic hard steel, Sun Ce was full of expectations.
Looking at the opposite of Love, Love has suffered more injuries in the past two years. He missed nearly 50 games last season. He was injured again after the All-Star weekend and returned after 10 games. The Timberwolves have completely away from the Western Conference playoffs. Scramble.
The Timberwolves went from 29 wins and 27 losses to 32 wins and 34 losses when he came back. In 10 games he was not in, the Timberwolves 3 wins and 7 losses. Now they are 34 wins and 35 losses. With a record of 2 wins and 1 loss, Sun Ce clearly felt the difference between Love and the past few years.
After being reimbursed for more than half of the season last year, after this year's comeback, the style of play has changed significantly, and I am more willing to cooperate with my teammates. I am not obsessed with data. The Timberwolves have achieved the best year since Love entered the NBA.
Sun Ce felt that Love had begun to develop in a favorable direction to win, otherwise he would never be forced to compete with Jordan Jr. and Drummond for the rebounding king. His state could compete with the two, but he did not, but gave Peco. Vicki made room and began to develop outside.
Sun Ce has never felt that in the original time and space, Love has changed the style of play to pitcher just two or three months after joining the Cavaliers. This season, Love has averaged 2.5 three-pointers per game. The hit rate is 37.5%.
Love's three-pointers per game ranked eighth in the league after Curry, his grandson, Klay Thompson, Lillard, Harden, Kobe, Korver!
In the original time and space, the Cavaliers were interested in Carrefour's three-point containment ability. They only used two top picks to exchange Carrefour instead of Carrefour.
And this is an adjustment based on the good insider Pekovic.
This means that Love has really changed its mindset from data supremacy!
Unfortunately, Love was injured at the most critical moment of the playoffs after the All-Star weekend, and the Timberwolves directly dropped from the playoffs.
Now Sun Ce is a little curious. James bought the school district. The Grizzlies failed to get Love through the space trade of Little Gasol. At least there is no chance to get Love before 2016. Where will Love go next? ?
This superstar, who has averaged 26 points, 13 rebounds and 4.4 assists, has begun to work hard to help the team win. It may still affect the league.
...
At 7:58 in the evening, Sun Ce put on his equipment and started the lineup with Klay Thompson, Paul George, Amir Johnson, and Larry Sanders.
The Timberwolves sent Rubio, Kevin Martin, Corey Brewer, Love and Pekovic.
"A-Rubio, 9.5 points 8.6 assists 4.2 rebounds 2.2 steals...
A-Martin, 20 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist...
B+-level Brewer, 12+2+2... This guy has played 40+ twice 30+ in the past 3 games after Love’s comeback...
S-level Love, A-level Pekovic..."
After playing, Sun Ce quickly read the opponent's ability evaluation. Compared with the past, the Timberwolves lineup has not changed much, all of them are talents burst!
It's just this season that the Timberwolves' strongest Carrefour turned personal data into winning aids.
It is really time for Carrefour to win, and Sun Ce obviously felt this, so Carrefour in the original time and space went to the Cavaliers, gave up a lot of things, and fell directly from the data of 26+13+4.4 16+9, this sacrifice is not less than Garnett's drop from 20+10+5 to 18+8+3, and Love was only 26 years old! Garnett is not 30 years old.
On this basis, the opponent's talent has always been a bursting lineup and has developed some strength.
However, Sun Ce still feels that the Timberwolves have such a talent, and they still have not fully developed their potential. Or, Sun Ce feels that their lineup is not very good, and they can have a 34 wins and 35 losses. Well, the strongest player, Love, who wants to win from the inside out, starts to work hard to win.
Only Kevin Martin has an accurate shot in the outside trio. The best shot in the team is Love, a power forward.
At 8pm, the game started!
As the referee threw the ball into the air with a whistle, Larry Sanders easily won the jump ball from Pekovic's head.
The average performance of the two teams on the defensive end this season is not too far away. The Grizzlies averaged 103.9 points per game and the Timberwolves averaged 104.4 points per game. The eldest brother didn’t talk about the second brother. After Larry Sanders won the jump, Sun Ce Wing down with Amir Johnson!
Paul George received the ball and hung Sun Ce. Sun Ce rushed into the opponent's three-point line to receive the ball. Pekovic and Bruel and Rubio hit the ball!
Sun Ce stopped to raise the ball, waited for the opponent to hit in place, Amir Johnson rushed into the free throw line distance, immediately hang the right side of the basket, Amir Johnson rushed into the inside and dunked to score two points.
The opponent's defense is very inclined! Obviously, he was the first scorer who scored more than 30% of the team's score.
Sun Ce is looking at the data ranking every day. According to the latest statistics, his average of 34.1 points per game is still ahead of Durant's average of 33.5 points, so he calmly chose to organize the offense.
In the past few games they have won so many games under unfavorable circumstances, and it has a lot to do with the point that he does not rush to score and passes the ball.
When the Timberwolves attacked, Love came up with a three-pointer that opened the space to catch the ball!
Very hard to show his changes, especially in the face of the other team with superstars, Love is working hard, he has known this season, he and Garnett, when there are no real All-Star players on the outside He couldn't lead the team to achieve too good results. Even if he didn't stop the 10 games, he would rush to the seventh and eighth position in the west. Then the first round of the game did not have anything to do with the champion fart.
When the Grizzlies attacked, although the opponent scored three points, Sun Ce was not in a hurry. After receiving the ball in the front court, he analyzed the defense on the opposite side.
The opponent's basket defense is very horizontal! Especially when facing the Grizzlies' current team with no ability to shoot in the inside duo, Pekovic’s 133 kg at the rim is the pillar of the sky. James can’t even move in Species.
But there is also a way to deal with it. Sun Ce moved to a 45-degree angle on the right, motioned to Paul George to go to the top of the arc on the left, and then waved to find Larry Sanders for a pick-and-roll!
The expansion was Le Fu. This Sun Ce was expected. After Le Fu was pulled out, Larry Sanders blocked Brewer. Sun Ce did not use a pick-and-roll attack. The other Le Fu can prevent a mid-range shot and Pekovic Very arrogant, Sun Ce passed to Paul George on the left side of the top arc. At this time, Amir Johnson had already gone out according to the tactics planned before the game for Paul George to pick and roll!
Pekovic had to pull out, and Paul George had a CIC!
Sun Ce pulled the ball to the bottom line immediately after taking the pass, took away Love and Brewer, Paul George took the ball after the pick-and-roll, and Larry Sanders cut into the ball and made a layup!
The Timberwolves are ranked eighth in the league with 106.6 points per game this season, very powerful, but the Grizzlies are averaging 111.3 points per game, the strongest in the league!
At the beginning of the game, Sun Ce of the offense took the initiative to give up points and even give up assists, saving energy and restraining the opponent's defense, giving Paul George a better chance to sort out the offense.
At the defensive end, limit the opponent as much as possible. Although the opening was scored by a three-pointer from the opposite Love, their lineup was fast and quickly blocked the opponent's outside shot.
It's just that Pekovic's basket singles and Love's low back hit, these two points are really unstoppable, the inside can't bear people, and there is currently Brewer, who is currently in the outbreak stage, today's start continues to erupt!
In the past three games, the Timberwolves played the Lakers, Warriors, and Heats with 2 wins and 1 loss. Among them, Brewer scored 44 points against Kobe and 35 points against Wade. In the face of Harden scored 31 points... these three generations of the strongest shooting guard, Brewer abused again and again!
The Timberwolves’ defense is right, but that’s a question of ability. The enthusiasm and motivation to change are there. After the Timberwolves started with a double pick-and-roll pass by the Grizzlies, they firmly defended the basket. Would rather be long shot by the Grizzlies.
COSCO's shooting percentage can't be compared with the layup. When the Grizzlies couldn't shoot from outside, Love and Pekovic knew that Brewer was in good shape recently and he helped him with a card. After Brewer scored a rebound With a direct counterattack, neither Sun Ce nor Paul George can resist!
In the first quarter, they played 6 minutes and 51 seconds. During this time, the two teams have been fighting with you, and they scored 22 to 21! The Timberwolves, one point behind, called a timeout first!
Sun Ce's data in the first half of the first quarter are not dripping, 2 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. The rhythm is a beep. When they fall into the position and fight each other, the two towers sit and play in turn. They have no height advantage or weight advantage. Unstoppable, the fast attack on the opposite side was too brutal, and Brewer's counterattack to grab a rebound made Sun Ce very jealous!
Recently, the strong state of the strong team has helped the Timberwolves, Lakers and Brewers of the Heat, and scored 8 points in half time!
He also experienced the ability of Peak Brewer's ability to grab rebounds and counterattack. Sun Ce felt that if Westbrook could learn this ability, then Westbrook would be invincible, but unfortunately this is a talent.
Fortunately, someone at his grandson had the opportunity to acquire this skill! You only need to win the first place in the number of triple-doubles this season.
...
Entering the official suspension, the Grizzlies began to adjust personnel. In the eyes that Whiteside expected, Coach Hollins called his name and played with Richard Jefferson!
Outer Paul George was replaced by Beverly, and the Splash Brothers continued.
Coach Hollins called Whiteside, who was trembling with excitement, and repeatedly told him: defensive card position, offensive charge.
This is an order, not a negotiation, not a persuasion. The meaning is very direct. Don't fight if the defensive end is not good.
Back from the timeout, Sun Ce and his teammates were on the field together to prepare for the defense. In the first half, they were supported by Paul George who got 5 points and 3 assists. Paul George went to rest, and he was about to start his effort.
Looking at the lineup of Baria, Kevin Martin, Brewer, Love, Gorgie Gion, there is really no one with this talent. There are Shabbas Mohammed and Alek opposite. -The talented players like Schweider and Zeiss Budinger missed, and they gave the Kings Derek Williams the 11th pick in the top five last summer.
The worst thing for the Timberwolves is that they can't completely transform their talents into strength, and no team is willing to trade their talents with the stars because they know that they can't keep all of them.
But the point is that most of these geniuses waste their talents while sitting on the cold bench.
The game continued and the Timberwolves attacked.
Coach Hollins' defensive prediction was very accurate this time. The opponent did not change to Chevrolet but Baria, so Beverly, a fast point guard instead of Livingston, can go. Anti-Barea, so Sun Ce does not have to stare at Barria.
The Timberwolves suspended their first attack and chose to give Kevin Martin a single. Kevin Martin singles Clay Thompson missed a long two-pointer. Whiteside struggled to block Love. Sun Ce took the defense before grabbing Gion. rebound.
At the peak of Brewer's defense, he did a good job. When Sun Ce grabbed a rebound and turned around, he was stuck next to Sun Ce. Sun Ce failed to fight back and handed it to Beverly. Beverly was also Baria. If the post was stuck, Love and Gion quickly retreated.
After Pekovic went down, the Timberwolves' speed suddenly increased. Gion was a baby in the 2013 Lotto show. He has a good defensive awareness and strong athleticism. The disadvantage is that he is thin and he weighs almost the same as Sun Ce. Sun Ce also returned the bamboo pole.
In the frontcourt, Beverly passed the ball back to Sun Ce, pulling the space away with Klay Thompson and Richard Jefferson.
Sun Ce received the ball and suddenly... The opponent's rookie center has a very high defensive efficiency in the basket. Although he has not played much time and only averages 13 minutes per game, the defense is very good. It only gives the opponent 100 points per 100 rounds, which is not very good. Fighting, Westbrook, Ross, James and others have all suffered from this guy's big hat.
Brewer is a more defensive player who restrains his Sun. Sun Ce has always played the game with Brewer in a normal way. He broke through and was caught by the two men. Sun Ce gave up this plan.
Pick-and-roll... The opponent's twin towers can be blocked and pick-and-roll, and it will eventually become a forced vote.
Sun Ce looked at Whiteside in a lazy look outside the three-second zone...Since it was a forced vote, then go straight!
In 1 second, Sun Ce made a decision. When the opponent was still predicting how he would play, Sun Ce directly took a three-point shot against Brewer...
Brewer responded quickly, jumped with all his strength, and straightened his arm to interfere. Sun Ce had no head for the ball and hit the right side of the basket with a clatter.
At the moment when the ball flew to the highest point, Whiteside's lazy look changed instantly. He judged that the ball could not enter, from a silly temperament into a brutal offensive rebounding giant. beast! Turning around and jamming Gion to push Gion open, the opponent's wingspan is also good. Whiteside did not risk catching the ball, but shot the ball towards Sun Ce moving to the left of the top arc.
Sun Ce grabbed the ball excitedly, Brewer flew up with a slow shot, Sun Ce flicked a shot, the opponent immediately jumped, Sun Ce took the ball back to dribble and then withdrew from the three-point line, ignoring Baria when the defense came up Barria's stubborn interference, three-pointer shot again... Three-pointer hit the big gap!
