"Kevin Garnett, 36 years old, 211 cm tall, 107 kg in weight, A+ in ability evaluation, A- on offense, S- on defense, C+ on three-pointers, S in mid-range shots, A- in layups, B+ in speed, A+ in strength, and A-...... Averaged 15 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.1 steals, 1 block, 1.5 turnovers and 2.5 fouls per game...... Shooting 50 percent from the field and 44 percent from mid-range...... Averaged 4.8 goals per game from mid-range...... Shooting 72 percent from the field in the three-second zone, averaging 1.5 goals per game ......"
He averaged 9.6 points per game from mid-range and only 15 points per game...... Looking at Garnett's ability evaluation, Sun Ce felt that in addition to defense, Garnett was left with blocking and mid-range shooting, scoring under the basket basically by eating cakes, and shooting fewer free throws, with more than 60% of the points concentrated in the middle distance.
It's awesome to be good at pitching!
Duncan, Nowitzki, and Garnett, the three veterans, have all maintained an average of at least 15 points per game at this age, just because of their mid-range shots.
However, this thing requires more talent than three-pointers, and many people can practice three-pointers, but many people can practice mid-range shots.
"Paul Pearce, A+ Ability, A+ Offense, B+ Defense, A's Three-pointer, A+ mid-range shot, A's layup...... Averaged 19 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game ......"
Offensive kaleidoscope, except for getting old and declining athleticism, Pierce has no dead ends on the offensive end.
"Eric Bledsoe, Competency Assessment A-; Jason Terry, Ability Evaluation B; Courtney Lee, Competency Assessment B+; Jeff Green, Competency Evaluation B+; Avery Bradley, Competency Evaluation B; Brandon Bass, Competency Assessment B......"
The Celtics' nine-man rotation, in addition to the two veterans, is not very physical, the core is still too young, and it looks really good!
Mainly defensively, in the Celtics' main rotation, except for Jason Terry's poor defense, the other 8 are at least B+ level quasi-first-class defense.
And Wilcox, Jared Sallinger and others are also players who come first defensively......
Tonight's game is hard again!
This time back-to-back, Nash and Randolph won't play, and Gasol Jr. and Tony Allen are back-to-back...... On the offensive end, they are more troublesome for the Grizzlies......
……
Sure enough, when the game started at three o'clock in the afternoon, the game immediately went into defensive battle mode.
The Celts are very good at grinding!
The Grizzlies just played a defensive battle and their hands were badly drained, and they continued tonight and went into iron mode from the start.
The game was very hot, full of hand-to-hand combat, Garnett and Tony Allen both squirted, Garnett did not let go of his old teammates, Sun Ce, Jimmy Butler, and Tony Allen all received technical fouls in the first half.
But Garnett, who provoked trouble, escaped and ran away in anger, and when he switched to a certain No. 3 player who did not want to be named, he was elbowed by the Mamba successor and did not fight back......
At halftime, the Grizzlies trailed by 6 points at 33-39, but fortunately, Klay Thompson hit a three-pointer in the third quarter, which led Sun Ce's three points, Sun Ce scored three three-pointers in a row, and the Grizzlies led by 8 points in the third quarter, but the Celtics slowly grinded it back.
Even a good-tempered person like Yi Jianlian was sent out for two consecutive technical fouls in the second half of the third quarter, and Garnett's mouth showed his might again.
In the final moments, with two points down, Sun Ce was caught in the bag and distributed to Paul George, who was open on the sideline, who missed the three-point attempt.
But Pierce singled Klay Thompson to hit a mid-range shot in the final minute, and the Celtics held on to a four-point lead until the end.
Sun Ce played 39 minutes, fighting to the point that he was unable to face Jeff Green and Pierce to make strong three-point shots, 9 of 25 shots, including 3 of 9 three-pointers, 8 of 11 free throws, 29 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks and 3 steals, and the Grizzlies lost to the Celtics 75-79, and the record became 21-8.
……
……
After a brutal defensive battle, four Grizzlies players were fined, but Garnett also received an additional technical foul after the game, which made the Grizzlies players feel better.
If Randolph can play this game, the scoring pressure is not concentrated on Sun Ce and the two second- and third-year players Paul George and Klay Thompson, there is still a chance to win, Yi Jianlian was sent out tonight, the impact on the team is too great, there is no other inside line who has the ability to create scoring opportunities independently, it is very deadly, Gasol Jr. is not a scoring player, and he has scoring skills in all aspects, but they are not enough as a key point.
What hurts Sun Ce the most is that they have formed a relationship with Garnett, but Garnett can't fight for a few years, and at this age, there are not many opportunities for revenge!
And there was no time to curse Garnett for them, after the game against the Celtics, the Grizzlies even did physiotherapy on the plane, and at 6:30 p.m., the Grizzlies took a charter flight to Portland.
After nearly seven hours of flight, I arrived at the hotel at half past one in the morning.
Sun Ce and his teammates didn't fall asleep until two or three o'clock, but fortunately, they slept until noon and didn't delay their preparations, and the game didn't start until half past eight in the evening.
In the afternoon, after a brief preparation with his teammates, Sun Ce entered the Rose Garden Arena at 8:10 p.m. to challenge the Trail Blazers away.
The Grizzlies are back-to-back on the road, and the Trail Blazers are back-to-back, but at home.
Nash and Randolph still didn't play tonight, but the opponent was not as strong as the Celtics, and the Grizzlies went 22-13 in the first quarter.
Lillard is the third rookie with A-level strength in his rookie year since Sun Ce entered the NBA, and the other two are Evans and Griffin, who is considered a rookie year in his second year of rookie season.
Similar to Roy, Lillard was 22 years old when he entered the NBA, and his strength was quite comprehensive, averaging 19.5 points, 3 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game so far this season, and his performance was better than the rookie years of the point guard geniuses Curry, Wall, and Irving in previous years.
Before the game, Lillard said in a high-profile manner that he wanted to beat Sun Ce, but he played a full game in the first quarter, and faced Sun Ce's single defense in the first 7 minutes, shot 0 of 3, and received a hat.
Sun Ce is not good at defending against players like Evans, Harden, Wall, and Westbrook, but he is best at defending against opponents like Lillard who rely on speed and mid-to-long-range shooting.
Facing Klay Thompson's single defense and Paul George's assisted defense, Lillard scored only 4 points on 1-of-8 shooting, missed a three-point shot, and only scored an athletic goal and two free throws.
In the first quarter and a half, the Trail Blazers scored only 22 points, 11 of which were scored by Aldridge, who was in his prime.
The Trail Blazers weren't that bad this year, but in the face of the Grizzlies who were only thinking about defense tonight, the Trail Blazers offense didn't open.
And the foundation of the Trail Blazers in the past three years, defense, has collapsed this year!
