With Curry and David Lee, two teammates with an average of 20+ per game, Harden doesn't need to do his best to score, nor does he need to find a way to score more easily, so, unlike in the original time and space, he is very good at using the rules to make fouls, but he is not keen on this, and chooses to use his strong body more to create scoring opportunities and passing opportunities.
Switching offense and defense, Gasol Jr. sent the ball to Paul George, and Paul George went to the front court to pass to Sun Ce, who found Tony Allen to block and dismantle.
Harris Barnes, who defended Sun Ce, went around, and Curry, who defended Tony Allen, went directly around the three-point line to prevent Sun Ce's three-pointer.
However, when Harris Barnes and Curry caught Sun Ce, they found that Sun Ce had no ball in his hand!
Just when he was blocking, Sun Ce passed the ball to Tony Allen, and Tony Allen stepped on the right sideline of the three-second zone to break through!
Taking advantage of Barnes to make up for Tony Allen, Sun Ce cut in on the left side, and when he entered the three-second zone on the left side of the basket, he rushed in to attract Tony Allen, who was moving on Thabitt's feet, to pass the ball to Sun Ce.
Sun Ce almost didn't catch it, Tony Allen's pass was too low, fortunately, he Sun was not as inflexible as other players of the same height, and he received the ball in the low post in the three-second zone, and the overlord deducted 2 levels to trigger! Sun Ce squeezed the Thabit who turned around and jumped unaffected, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!
Curry chased Sun Ce's mid-range shot, David Lee contracted to block the baseline Sun Ce's receiving position, but Tony Allen actually stuck to Tabit and passed out of Tabit's waist, which the Warriors didn't expect.
Mr. Tony's guarantee task of one assist per game was completed, and he was satisfied with the retreat.
Sun Ce retreated amid the cheers of the fans and the sound of shouting "defend", he was a little regretful, Mr. Tony was okay to control the ball, but his hands were not good and he couldn't pass the ball; Clay's younger brother has good hands and can pass the ball, but he can't control the ball......
The first offense of both teams at the beginning of the game was completed, Harden was very wild and carried the big center with the first defensive efficiency of the center this season to make a layup, and Sun Ce directly attached to the center with the third defensive efficiency of the center this season and the second tallest center in the league to dunk the dunk, obviously Sun Ce's performance was more eye-catching.
However, this is not quite what the fans and the media expected, it was different from the beginning!
Both teams were attacking the inside at the beginning!
On the Warriors' side, the opening style of play was Harden rushing to the basket, David Lee hitting a low-post single and mid-range shot, Harris Barnes cutting in, Curry cutting in for a catch-and-go layup and a baseline jumper.
On the Grizzlies' side, at the beginning, Sun Ce mainly attacked the basket and had a chance to counterattack, Sun Ce tried his best to attract the pinch ball to Paul George, who cut in.
After a few minutes of play, Paul George couldn't handle Harden, and Coach Hollins replaced Tony Allen and Paul George with Jimmy, who was the strongest in the shooting guard position and weighed 3 kilograms more than Harden, and the team's second-best three-point player, Klay, Randolph and Larry Sanders replaced the combination of Battier and Gasol Jr.
But he still didn't play a three-point strategy, but used Sun Ce and Klay Thompson to block the offensive Nets, Jimmy Butler cut in and shot, and Randolph low-post singles as the main offensive methods.
In the entire first quarter, the Grizzlies only made three three-point shots, which was more than half of the six to seven three-pointers in a normal quarter.
The Warriors, on their side, usually shoot a little more than six three-pointers a game, which is slightly lower than the Grizzlies, but they are also the second-most three-pointers in the league, but they only made four three-pointers in the first quarter.
In the entire first quarter, both teams made only 1 three-pointer!
The Grizzlies only had Son Ce hit a three-pointer, and only Brandon Rush, who came up after an official timeout, scored a three-pointer on the Warriors' side.
It's not that the two teams don't want to shoot more three-pointers, but both teams want to prevent the opponent's three-point shots, so that the opponent doesn't have too good three-point opportunities, and they don't have too good three-point opportunities.
And because of the defensive strategies of the two teams, the opportunities for the players of the two teams to impact the basket are far better than the three-point opportunities, and the players and coaches of the two teams are not stupid, so they will naturally choose the cut-in style of play with outside containment.
At the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies trailed the Warriors by two points, 25-27.
……
Entering the intermission, on the Warriors' side, Mark Jackson replaced Curry with a lineup of Jack, Harden, Bazemore, Richard Jefferson, and Azeli.
Curry rested patiently, and he scored 4 points and 2 assists in the first quarter, helping Harden, who had 4 assists in a single quarter, to organize the offense tightly.
Curry also wants the nickname "Splash Brothers", but he is different from Sun Ce, in terms of public opinion, the nickname "Splash Brothers" represents the strongest three-point combination in the league, in Curry's view, this is not a two-game decision, to determine which combination is stronger, it takes a long time to perform, in order to gain the reputation of the strongest pitcher combination.
But on the other side, Sun Ce continued to fight!
He scored a three-pointer in the first quarter, and although he got 8 points, 3 boards, 4 assists, 1 block and 1 steal, Sun Ce was a little anxious.
Contrary to Curry's thinking, in Sun Ce's view, in this era where a good game can be blown up by the media and fans, he needs to rely on this game to make himself and Klay Thompson's strongest pitcher combination!
Although, in this era of traffic, the popularity comes and goes quickly, but as long as it can meet the "prestige" of the system requirements, it will be fine!
In the past two months, he threw three points with his life, and as long as he lost, he was sprayed by the media, and Sun Ce was for the second or third meeting, and his three-point combination of Sun Someone and Klay Thompson was higher rated.
Coach Hollins saw that Sun Ce fought so hard in the first quarter, understood what Sun Ce wanted to do, and replaced Nash, Klay Thompson, Yi Jianlian, and Lopets Jr. with Sun Ce.
Start and run and boom!
……
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Grizzlies attacked first.
Nash advanced to the front court and handed the ball to Sun Ce, who could play three positions on the outside, and Bazemore, who could play three positions on the outside, looked at Sun Ce, who was about to defend, closed his mouth and nose and aired, and his nostrils opened wider.
How can this be prevented? Height suffers, weight suffers, and resistance suffers......
Watching Sun Ce pull the ball widely, Bazemore chose a gambling defense and pounced on it to steal!
Sun Ce reacted quickly, Iverson-style pull the ball, and crossed out in the opposite direction of Bazemore's pun, perfect breakthrough opportunity! But!
Sun Ce did not choose to break through, jumped directly, and made a three-point shot......
Sun Ce made 1 of 1 three-pointers in the first quarter, not many shots, but it felt just right, under the pounce of Richard Jefferson who came up from the defense, Sun Ce hit a three-point shot on the right side of the top arc with a slight back!
What Sun Ce is waiting for is now! When Harris Barnes, who has enough height and physical fitness, goes down, he has more three-point opportunities!
