1246. It's a pity that we don't have Gao Yuanyuan (1st Update)
Kobe Bryant looked at Sun Ce's scoring method, so angry!
Those and him, and Iverson, and Nash, and Tim Hardaway...... Wait for people to learn the technology in vain? Actually play rules basketball!
However, Kobe Bryant had to admit that Sun Ce was very smart, and when he didn't feel good, he could actually think of such a way to keep the score, and he did it.
Using the rules, this thing seems simple, but if you really want to play like this, not every player can do it, and even, you can't do it at all.
It's a talent that allows Kobe Bryant to suddenly change his movements and make fouls while maintaining his normal shooting threat, and he feels that he can't do it, that he can't adapt to that change, and he doesn't play 100 percent efficiently.
Faced with such a situation, the Lakers were caught off guard.
At the beginning of the century, after the abolition of the upper hand defense, it was impossible to press the ball to defend the player, and it was not possible to make hand contact after the shooter made a shooting action...... Lots and lots of defensive restrictions.
Lakers head coach Bickerstaff Sr. had in mind a player who was the most suitable player to defend Sun Ce, but not on their team — Pacers player Roy Hibbert.
This guy is the most suitable interior line for Howard's defense to break through and use the rules to make fouls under today's rules, with beautiful vertical bounce and excellent height and arm span, and has excellent restraint ability against Sun Ce's current style of play.
But they don't have such people, no, there is no way, old Bickerstaff can only start from the offensive end.
Suddenly, the pinching became the most unsuitable defensive strategy for the Lakers, and Sun Ce could find a foul opportunity to make a foul and pinch...... Don't let this guy go to the sky?
……
After the timeout, there were no substitutions for either team, the Grizzlies were still a defensive lineup, and the Lakers were still the starting lineup.
In the face of Sun Ce's foul offensive, the Lakers chose hard steel!
This is the most direct and effective method, much more effective than anger, upset, and swearing.
In the first two rounds, I didn't expect anyone to play like this, but when I was prepared, even if I couldn't avoid being fouled every time, I was able to effectively avoid most of the fouls.
Also, Sun Ce's shooting hand is terrible today, so just guard against Sun Ce's free-throw line hook.
Ci Shiping blocked the breakthrough, Kobe Bryant hooked the free throw line, missed Tony Allen, and after the timeout came back, the Lakers' defense played a good role, effectively stifling Sun Ce's foul play.
However, in the face of the Grizzlies' current lineup, the Lakers' offense is much more difficult than in the first half.
In the first half, due to the need to maintain the offense, the Grizzlies did not send the best defensive lineup, but started the game with a run-and-run lineup, allowing the Lakers to play relatively easy in the first half.
When Coach Hollins chose to put the offensive burden on Sun Ce alone, the four people sent Tony Allen, Paul George, Battier, and Gasol Jr. played a defensive ......
The strongest in the league!
And through the first half, Sun Ce played a physical warm-up effect, and after using Hardenka to recover his strength, Sun Ce's footsteps on the defensive end were obviously better than in the first half!
The Lakers' offense was sniped, Kobe Bryant was not hiding himself, he was more involved in shooting, not that he didn't shoot much in the first half, when he played a strong team, Kobe Bryant would have shot 256 times, so far this season, Kobe has 7 times 40+, and now Kobe has shot significantly more than when he normally played a strong team.
On the Grizzlies' side, it became more difficult for Sun Ce to make fouls, so when he failed to make fouls and the free-throw line hook area and the baseline mid-range hook area were blocked, he chose to give the ball to Tony Allen to rush to the basket or shoot.
I have to say that everyone on their Grizzlies team played well tonight, Mr. Tony hit a three-second left jumper, and also scored 3 points under the basket, plus Paul George scored a baseline mid-range jumper that caught the pot ball, and Sun Ce got 4 free throws, 3 of 4 free throws, in the third quarter 6 minutes and 44 seconds Sun Ce stole Josh Smith to divide the ball anxious long pass Paul George made a mistake out of bounds and entered the official timeout, the Grizzlies bit the score tightly, 70-72 behind 2 points into the official timeout.
In the first half, the Lakers relied on the Grizzlies to send a strong defensive lineup in every quarter to score almost 30 points in each quarter, but in the third quarter, after playing more than half a quarter, the Lakers only scored 13 points.
And relying on the 6 points scored by Sun Ce before the Lakers called a timeout to adjust, the Grizzlies played a score of 16-13!
Thanks to Mr. Tony's lack of pits in the first half of the third quarter, he received the ball 5 times, made 2 of 4 successful shots, and made 1 of 2 free throws, which helped Sun Ce reduce the burden.
Coach Hollins doesn't have any particularly good ways for the time being, when the team's best scorer is cold in other areas except for free throws and hook shots in specific positions, and his own team is a defensive team, and there is a run-and-bomb lineup but the offense has been confirmed to be inferior to the opponent, no head coach can come, even if it is a cardinal or a Zen master, he has lost many games, including the finals.
So Coach Hollins continued to stay on the defensive, sending a combination of Son Ce, Klay Thompson, Prince, Randolph, and Larry Sanders.
On the Lakers' side, Paul continued to play, Kobe Bryant and Ci Shiping, who had already committed four fouls, were replaced, Meeks and Earl Clarke came on, and Josh Smith and Jordan Hill continued to partner inside.
……
After the pause, Sun Ce looked at the opponent's rotation lineup, this offensive firepower is overwhelming, Meeks, the second-round pick of his same class, with Paul and Kobe Bryant and Josh Smith passing, averaged 2.1 three-pointers per game with a three-point shooting rate of 39.7% this season, the key is that the playing time is only 17 minutes per game, that is to say, this guy is scoring when he comes up!
But fortunately, the Lakers came back from a timeout, and the Lakers' first attack, Meeks, received the ball, faced Prince, changed defenses and didn't score, Sun Ce beat Jordan Hill to win the defensive rebound when Randolph stuck Josh Smith, and counterattacked!
The Lakers have a good sense of retreat, Klay Thompson's chasing three-pointers, Larry Sanders and Jimmy Butler rushing to the basket are blocked, Josh Smith also rushes back in time to block the free throw line position, the right baseline has no chance, Larry Sanders cuts into the position there, Earl Clarke can block it.
This situation is very unfavorable! Sun Ce glanced at what might be an opportunity...... There was no way, rushed to the bottom corner of the right side, hooked a three-point shot......
