: 1679. The potential of the best defensive player

by!
Sun Ce played with Klay Thompson, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Aldridge, and Gobert. Ten thousand alpacas were flying.
Looking at the lineup of Westbrook, Waiters, Durant, Ibaka, Nick Collison, Sun Ce was very sad. Just before the court, Coach Hollins let him play against Durant defensively!
Sun Ce suddenly discovered that the team did not know when the team had reached the state of "finding things that cannot be solved".
However, despite the sadness and egg pain, Sun Ce was still a little excited!
In the summer, he learned defense with Payton and Jordan. After training in the Basketball World Cup and preseason, he has made great progress in single defense.
Of course, it is impossible to say that these two people are so powerful immediately. It takes time to settle. Just like Kobe was played by Iverson in his rookie year, he started to practice defense in the summer of the rookie year, and he was only at the age of 22 when he was 4th grade. He was selected as the first defense for the first time, and it was the main defense. The fourth grade was selected for the first defense only for three rounds. It also took several years to learn, practice and precipitate.
But heads-up with Jordan... After being singled by Jordan so many times, Sun Ce was originally able to defend against technical flow players. Now the progress is obvious, and he definitely wants to play against the top scorer like Durant.
It's just that after the start of the new season, Sun Ce hasn't had such an opportunity. When meeting the top technical players such as Irving and Ellis, Paul George, Klay Thompson and Tony Allen went to the defense. Use his physical strength to do what he does best-connect the team's offense and defense.
He naturally knows which one is more important, what he is best at, and it must be the first goal of what the team needs most.
But he really wants to be one-on-one with the top scorers. Although it is a bit counter-current, the Thunder will not prevent him from letting Durant prevent him. Now in this era, the functionality of the players It is getting stronger and stronger, and the players with one offensive and defensive are getting more and more rare...
However, he defended very well when he was the strongest outside player who was not the opponent. The efficiency of the single defense was close to Paul George. When he began to discuss the best defensive player in December, Sun Ce ranked higher than Paul George and Adams. Are high.
This means that his single defense effect is indeed better, but has not yet accepted the challenge of a real top scorer.
The referee blew the whistle at the beginning of the second quarter. The game started in the last 5 minutes and 37 seconds of the first half. Sun Ce put away his cluttered thoughts and played the offense first!
The Grizzlies are trying their best to improve the rhythm, but the rhythm is still suppressed by the Thunder. The rhythm is always easier than the rhythm. Both teams only scored 10 points in the past 6 minutes and 23 seconds.
After receiving the referee's serve, Sun Ce sent it to Paul George. After reaching the frontcourt, he received the ball again and continued to hold the ball.
With the experience of the first quarter, in the second quarter, Sun Ce's task is simpler, singles, single defense, these two goals.
As Sun Ce pushed forward, Durant also knew his importance, limiting Sun Ce's scoring, and scoring himself. His task this season was also very simple. Defending against outside technical players with large square heads, and defending against opponents' inside players. , And then scored, playing time has been reduced, a full 9 minutes of rest time in the first half, is to maximize his role.
Observing Durant's defense, Sun Ce decided to play a pick-and-roll. The Thunder seemed to have an idea to block the middle distance between Sun Ce and Aldridge, thus limiting the three of Klay Thompson and Paul George. Fen, Gobert’s cake.
This defensive tactic is to not post Sun Ce's three-pointer, bet on one and use conventional defense.
This is a good idea, and you have to try it, otherwise the rhythm of the Thunder will be useless. If the position and the Grizzlies can also score steadily, the Thunder can’t play there, just like before the first quarter. It took more than 9 minutes to attack the Grizzlies like that, which is too bad for the Thunder. Although the rhythm is depressed, it is not easy to play the Grizzlies to the point of defense. However, it plays a gray offensive and defensive performance. The Bears are more terrifying.
However, Sun Ce borrowed Gobert and found that Ibaka didn't post. Sun Ce directly pulled up a three-point shot... Ibaka quickly rushed up. If it is another defender, Ibaka's defense is completely sufficient, but facing Sun Ce, this won't work. Ibaka hasn't made enough shots after a regular change of defense. Sun Ce hit a three-pointer after a pick and roll!
"Water splash is triggered at level 4 and the teammate named Clay Thompson has increased confidence in his three-pointer shots in the next offensive round. If his three-pointer shots are for catches, it will be easier to find the shooting feel..."
Looking at the system prompt that came out, Sun Ce retired excitedly. This is his first three-point shot in this game. There was no good chance before. The opponent's anti-rollout blocked his three-pointer. The first The ball will go in, and it will definitely put more pressure on the opponent's defense!
But the most important thing now is defense!
Sun Ce retreated to the backcourt, Westbrook did not care about the triple doubles in this game, he did not lack triple doubles, and Sun Ce did not compete for the number of triple doubles this season, Westbrook did not care about this, before passing After several years of fighting, he knew that sometimes it was because he wanted to face Sun Ce to get a triple-double and lead to a loss. Now that they are in the championship period, he put this matter aside.
Westbrook went to the bottom line to prepare for a rush. At this position, he still has a certain ability to shoot. With his excellent physical ability to rush, Paul George did not dare to let him go.
Klay Thompson defended Dion Waiters, Gobert defended Nick Collison from the basket and Aldridge went after Ibaka.
When Durant saw the ball and saw Paul George leading Westbrook in the top arc, he felt that something was wrong. He understood it immediately after arriving at the frontcourt, because Sun Ce came to prevent him!
Durant's tiger body shocked, even if he beat Tony Allen, Paul George, Klay Thompson in the first quarter tonight, he scored 11 points on 4 of 5 shots, but none of them excited him now. !
Sun Ce faced Durant, feeling that his palms were sweating. Before, he was not a major single defense player on the outside. Even when he switched to Durant, Kobe, Harden and other players who were not good at defending, he did not feel any pressure. , You can prevent it, you can't prevent it from falling.
But now, the expectation of the coaching staff and teammates is that he can restrict Durant!
Durant came to the left of the free throw line and leaned on Sun Ce to ask for the ball.
"This shameless guy who lied about his height actually had to beat him!"
After a wave of abdomen, Sun Ce carefully guarded behind Durant. When Durant received the ball, Sun Ce did not stick to Durant like other defenders. His size is enough, 220 cm wingspan Although it is not as good as Durant's 228 cm wingspan and is a few centimeters shorter, but compared with other outside lines, he already has enough body to defend Durant.
Durant didn't feel the top defense after receiving the ball. He felt that Sun Ce was very smart on the defensive end, and deserved to be the best defensive lineup player. If Sun Ce was close, he could turn around and break through after receiving the ball, let alone Sun Ce. , Tony Allen, Jimmy Butler can't stop against the fierce players.
Facing Sun Ce, Durant stepped out his right foot and clicked.
Sun Ce was not fooled, but was puzzled. This position is not the position of Durant's tentative step. The Thunder's style of play is very traditional or the Thunder coach Scott Brooks is very traditional. The center position is always maintained at a high level, at least. , Which means that the Thunder opponent's opponents also maintain a high level of inside. Now that Gobert is in the basket, even Durant has to face a lot of pressure. The opponent's size is even bigger than him.
Suddenly, Sun Ce understood the opponent's thoughts. When Durant probed again, Sun Ce pretended that the center of gravity was shaken, and stepped on his foot. His left foot stepped back half a step, and Durant immediately withdrew his foot to make a shot. .
Seeing Sun Ce's rushing back, Durant took the second fake move back, then posted it up towards Sun Ce and lifted the ball!
Durant's large body and such a smooth movement are indeed talented. Seeing that Sun Ce, who has been making a return, will be fouled by Durant. Fans on the scene have already exclaimed, suddenly , Sun Ce's actions were taken up!
Not only did Sun Ce's movement stop, but Durant seemed to be hit by a stop. He held the ball and raised his hands and waved it up, but without the ball in his hand, he almost lost his balance and threw forward. Go out.
Sun Ce grabbed the ball that bounced from the floor and fought back!
Dion Waiters quickly caught up. The former Wizards' high-rank rookie is really good in physical fitness and playing hard. However, he has the reflex nerve of a standard black player. Sun Ce rushed to the frontcourt and stopped suddenly. Turn around and accelerate to change direction while traveling!
Sun Ce stepped out in the first step, and Dion Waiters flew. Sun Ce stepped out in the second step, took off, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!
43 to 38, Sun Ce scored 5 points in a row to improve his personal score to 13 points, overtaking Durant to become the highest score in the game, while helping the Grizzlies lead to expand to 5 points!
If it were before, a quick layup like Sun Ce would be fine, but now, he will definitely deduct it if he has the chance to deduct it.
The counterattack was very beautiful. The fans on the scene had cheered when Sun Ce counterattacked. However, most of the fans on the scene did not see what happened just now, and the big screen was too late to put Sun Ce on defense. After a quick change of Sun Ce's fast break, the Thunder team already served and attacked.
But the fans in front of the TV saw it, and it was a close-up of a very clear high-speed motion shot. The narrator analyzed the defense of Sun Ce just now in slow motion-using fake moves to deceive Durant using fake moves. In Duran When I thought that my fake action flew Sun Ce to use the big swing, Sun Ce cut off the ball Durant lifted with a quick palm and completed the steal!
This single anti-consciousness has improved again than before!
"Is this an accident or the lord’s defensive ability has really improved so much? I heard that the lord asked Peyton and Jordan to learn defense in the summer. I don’t know what he did to let the two teach him together, maybe His unique charm...if the lord's single defense really has top-level, he will definitely become the best defensive player..."
Time Warner Cable Sports' commentary Hubie Brown started to slam the old club's superstar again. Hearing that Bill Wharton didn't know what to say.
But Bill Walton also admitted that Sun Ce is worthy of any touted, this player is terrible!
Other players, in the sixth and seventh years of their careers, basically see no clear progress, such as Durant and Westbrook, the two have improved this season compared to last season, referring to what they know It has become better, and it is no longer possible to easily develop new technologies. Just like Guy, who has not improved qualitatively after joining the Spurs, the player’s fastest improvement is during the rookie contract. Become more skilled.
Even Kobe said that he was going to play back against Olajuwon. In fact, he was good at playing back, but he only strengthened his ability in this respect.
Unless it is Ibaka's impaired athletic ability, he has to change from physical fitness flow to technical flow.
Sun Ce, even after five seasons, is about 25 years old, and still has made great progress after a summer...
When Hubby Brown tried his best to tout Sun Ce, Durant received the ball again and played against Sun Ce.
Durant and the Thunder others felt more accidental just now.
Regarding Sun Ce's consciousness and reaction when he defended Durant last season, Durant felt that Sun Ce's steal should be a coincidence, otherwise Sun Ce's offensive skills will become more sophisticated this season, and the defensive end can still make such progress. Durant feels unable to play Too.
But, as the saying goes, afraid of something, Durant immediately discovered that what he had just thought was true!
Although Durant next used a turnaround to make a sudden emergency stop jumper and hit a jumper, but this was forced to make a sudden stop jumper. He found that Sun Ce's breakthrough against back attacks and strong confrontation could bring him a huge pressure!
Sun Ce's choice of confrontation when defending against backs, grasping the timing of confrontation, lateral movement during breakthroughs, and long arms that interfere with the ball at any time... Indeed, Sun Ce's awareness and defensive skills are not as good as those of Tony Allen and Clay. Thompson, but Sun Ce and Paul George, the physical conditions on the defensive end are too outstanding, you can rely on not so top but still excellent single defense awareness, coupled with outstanding body shape and point guard are called top speed, The single defense is excellent!
And Sun Ce’s arm span is much better than Paul George’s, which is 211 cm, which is two centimeters shorter than James’s, but Sun Ce’s arm span is better than James’s 213 cm, reaching 220 cm, which is the same as Yao Ming’s. !
This puts tremendous pressure on Durant. As long as Durant has good physical strength, it is easy to play Paul George with good physical conditions, and it is not easy to play physical conditions but Clay Thompson with good defensive skills. Tony Allen's situation began to decline. Durant felt that the Grizzlies could not prevent him, even if he could give him a lot of restrictions.
But Sun Ce has a qualitative change in single defense! This quality, for the time being, does not mean how strong Sun Ce is, but the possibility of becoming the best defensive player!
Coincidentally, Durant is one of the best players to limit Sun Ce's singles, and now Sun Ce also has the possibility of becoming a defensive master that limits Durant's scoring!
When the Grizzlies attacked, Sun Ce found that the opponent's defense had a small change. They were blocking the catch shot of Klay Thompson. This Sun Ce was not surprised. As long as the team with good defensive discipline, they would do so. Brother's alternative connection is already well-known in the league.
However, Nick Collison's receiving singles against Aldridge did better than the previous defense and did Adams. Sun Ce here did not give space for the pick-and-roll Ibaka. Ibaka posted it directly. Sun Cetu At mid-range, Ibaka still followed closely, and the assist defense was not as good as Sun Ce, but Ibaka's single defense became better and lost explosive power, but his flexible pace did not lose.
Sun Ce rushed all the way to the bottom line, failed to get rid of Ibaka, and chose to take the hook... Ibaka gave enough interference, Durant's side was also Sun Ce lost after passing the space to the basket.
However, in addition to breaking through to the S-level on the right side of the three-second zone, Sun Ce also made great progress in hooking the bottom line, especially the bottom line on the right. With the 5-level bonus of the ball pick-and-roll expert up to the S-level bottom line mid-range shooting ability, Sun Ce hit the hook with two picks!
Sun Ce, who had a feeling of burning, couldn't stop it!
Originally, Sun Ce had physical potions available. After a long break in the first half, he was even more carefree in terms of physical strength.
When the Thunder attacked, Durant's singles efficiency was still very good. He felt the pressure. It was not that he couldn't get any points. No one could really defend him, but he would play more tired~EbookFREE.me~ His physical strength is not particularly good. The efficiency of the season has suddenly improved, and the way the team has used it has improved.
However, Durant didn't hesitate and spared a few singles in a row. After taking away Sun Ce by his own threat, Westbrook's breakthrough also became smoother.
Gobert could not well defend Westbrook who rushed in directly after the breakthrough. He needed a teammate to interfere with Westbrook in the middle distance, forcing Westbrook to slow down or change direction, so Gobel could defend well, Sun Ce The role is here, Dion Waiters' impact rim is also better.
After halftime, thanks to Durant's outstanding performance of 19 points and 7 points from 10 shots in the half, the Thunder led the Grizzlies 55-53 with two points and entered the halftime break. The Grizzlies faced the other side. The strong four-man group did not take advantage.
However, Durant, who hit 70% from the half, felt pressure!
In the past 5 minutes and 37 seconds, he made 6 full shots. Although he only played less than 15 minutes, he felt no difference from playing more than 20 minutes in the last half! Fatigue is coming!
And this is because he is regarded as the "enemy of life" guy!
