941. Barkley: James is the big brush (4th update)

Today, the Grizzlies are playing very happily, tired and tired, Yi Jianlian and Jordan Jr. ran with Griffin, Randolph and Gasol Jr. worked hard to press the rhythm and grind the positional battle, which was quite physically exhausting.

But it's not the kind of tense offensive and defensive duel, so it's not really tired, just take it slowly, because the only thing you need to put in physical strength is defense, and the offense is very easy.

And the most important thing is that their defensive target is only Griffin, not to mention anything else, the Grizzlies changed the rhythm of the game in the third quarter 4 times, all of which completely blinded the Clippers, and in the first half of the third quarter, after Sun Ce led the team to run and get 8 points, 3 boards and 2 assists, the Grizzlies directly replaced Tony Allen, Paul George, Randolph, and Gasol Jr. with Sun Ce, and in the second half of the third quarter, the Clippers narrowed the gap to 13 points and directly stretched it to 19 points.

In the more than 5 minutes after the official timeout in the third quarter, the Clippers scored only four points, and the Grizzlies went on a 10-4 run.

With an 84-65 lead of 19 points, Sun Ce played exactly 30 minutes in a single quarter, scoring 15 points, 15 boards, 11 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals.

The Grizzlies didn't let up in the final quarter, and the lineups of Redno, Neal, Klay Thompson, Battier, and Jordan Jr. went up to press.

It was Griffin, who surprised Sun Ce, after being targeted so badly, and because he wanted to press Yi Jianlian with his left hand to dunk and not let Yi Jianlian reach out to cover the slap in the face by Yi Jianlian, he was still working hard, and he was stunned to score 18 points in the first three quarters, and it was really not good-looking in 6 of 16 shots, with a shooting rate of less than 40%, and only 6 rebounds, but he could still have such a performance in such an extreme situation, and there were still two brushes.

Sun Ce feels that Griffin's strength is really strong, and he has good talent and has made great progress, from last season's almost no skills except for blocking and dismantling, good ball control to now dribbling breakthroughs, secondary offensive rebounds, and throwing under the basket...... They are all doing well, and instead of Griffin developing in the direction of small forward as Sun Ce remembers, it is a bit like learning Ma Long's offensive style.

Is this because the team doesn't have Jordan Jr. or Paul's pick-and-roll that requires him to open up space, and the direction of his style of play has changed? Start moving in the direction of Marlon, who is the most similar in size to him?

Sun Ce could only guess like this.

Of course, Sun Ce feels that Griffin and Malone are not at all similar on the defensive end, and Griffin's defense is more effective in defending against blue-collar workers, and the efficiency is good because the current big forwards are becoming more and more blue-collar.

Not surprisingly, the Clippers gave up struggling, and in the end, the Grizzlies beat the Clippers 106-91, leaving Griffin with a sad night.

……

……

The Grizzlies beat the Clippers to win six straight games and improve their record to 38-8.

When the Grizzlies and Clippers were playing, in a box at the scene, the Lakers' Paul, Kobe, Pau Gasol, Odom, and Ci Shiping came to watch the game.

Watching the game, not the Clippers or Griffin fans, watching it was very happy,

Especially Big Gasol, seeing Yi Jianlian slap Griffin's nosebleed, although he ate the technical criminal, he looked cool!

There is also a younger brother, Griffin wanted to mend the buckle, but was stopped by the younger brother and pulled down.

And just now, when the big Gasol was marveling at his brother's brave performance, Paul said on the side: "Look, Paul, you have to be like Mark, Griffin wants to detain you and pull him down, don't be too gentle, do it when you need to, he will do it first......"

The younger brother defended correctly, and his teammates were right, but Gasol Jr. just smiled and didn't respond.

It is enough for the villains to have two or three on a team, there was already Kobe + Ci Shiping + Odom, and now there is Paul, Da Gasol feels that he should be gentle and give a good impression to the referee, otherwise it is not good to be infamous by the villainous team.

Paul understands the mentality of Pau Gasol and does not force it, he just suggests that Gasol can be a little grumpy when things happen.

After watching the game, the five big players of the Lakers began to analyze the game the night after tomorrow.

The Lakers have just won six in a row and are currently 33-13, second in the West, and haven't lost since losing to the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies' tactics are not worth discussing, the Grizzlies have always been simple and rough, how simple and simple on the offensive end, and the focus is on defense.

Facing the Grizzlies' defense, it depends on their Lakers' own on-the-spot adaptation, the Grizzlies' offensive response basically relies on Sun Ce and Nash, but on the defensive end, the Grizzlies coaching staff is extremely adaptable.

This is not very easy to deal with, and the Grizzlies have fluctuated a lot on the defensive end in recent games, mainly because of the rotation rest, the Lakers' side of these veterans who are even Paul in the seventh year of his career, including Kobe Bryant, are willing to accept the rotation rest occasionally, and his mentality has changed a lot this season, just like the last game in the original time and space that chose to take a rotation break not to take a forty-point to steal the scoring title, he cares more about preparing for the playoffs than statistics.

It's just that the conditions don't allow it, Paul's form is gradually recovering, and they have begun to play more time, the first place in the West is difficult to grab, but the second place in the West and the second place in the league, they still have to fight.

After all, there is a high probability of playing the Spurs in the second round, and their goal is not just to dominate the West, but to win the championship, and it is best to have home court advantage against Eastern teams.

But although the Grizzlies' rotation is the envy of several bigwigs, they have recently been at home recently, paying attention to the first three games of the Grizzlies' 5 consecutive away games, and feeling that there is also a problem with the rotation.

That is, the Kings, the Trail Blazers, and the Clippers do not have a good tacit understanding on the offensive end, although the Clippers are in the playoffs, they purely rely on Griffon, Bledsoe, Mo Williams, Caron Butler, Randy Foye and several other strong players to rush out of the victory, and the offensive end is extremely poor, especially the positional battle.

These three teams didn't pose much of a challenge to the Grizzlies' defense.

But it can still be seen that the Grizzlies' understanding on the defensive end has declined compared to when they first came back from All-Star weekend.

Kobe Bryant chatted with Paul, Artest, and Pau Gasol for a while, and the discussion couldn't come to a conclusion, God knows if the Grizzlies really declined because of the tacit understanding of the rotation, because it is very likely that those teams with more rotations will play in the last ten games of the regular season, the purpose is to regain the tacit understanding, the Lakers have been paying attention to the Grizzlies last season, and the Grizzlies have done just that.

But it's hard to say, Kobe Bryant had a headache, suddenly thought of something, and asked Odom, who didn't say a word for a long time, "Lamar, what do you think of the Grizzlies how they have been playing recently?" ”

Odom was stunned, why did he suddenly ask him, he was here to sell cute, thought about it and replied: "They play very happily, they play the same every day, they can win the game, they are really strong......"

This answer makes Paul want to complain, can he be professional? He's the best sixth man and two-time champion super swinger!

But Bryant was satisfied with Odom's answer, he didn't want Odom to say anything at all, but liked Odom's intuition......

……

……

Leng Buding has the 13th triple-double of the season, and Sun Ce has the 36th triple-double of his career!

Because Coach Hollins did a good job of controlling the court, Sun Ce did not have a situation of garbage time brushing data.

And because Sun Ce's style of play has always been special, he is a player who is keen on helping defense, making up defense, grabbing rebounds, blocks, and passing balls that are greater than shooting, this season's 48 percent shooting rate has increased by two percentage points compared with last season, and the average score per game has also increased, but there has been no increase in shots, last season's average of 18.9 shots per game, but only 18.2 times this season, the improvement in scoring is completely the improvement in shooting efficiency and free throw shooting rate and three-point goals.

Therefore, when Sun Ce brushed a triple-double when he played the Clippers, no one could see that he was brushing, just like a regular style of play.

After the game between the Grizzlies and the Clippers, Barkley, who commented on the game, came out to spray James again: "Look, this is called a real triple-double master, James brushed up rebounds in the last two minutes, almost let the Heat lose, for a triple-double to do this, even if he gets the MVP? The lord is the MVP in my mind! And he hasn't gotten a triple-double yet, it's ridiculous, is that MVP? ”

As soon as Barkley's words came out, people didn't notice the fact that James brushed up rebounds in the last two minutes last night, James broke out in the final quarter, helping the team turn the tables without Wade and Mike Miller, and performed extremely well, shooting 6 of 8 in the final quarter to burst.

And because James helped his teammates get the rebounds regardless of whether he grabbed the rebounds in the first 46 minutes, Maddy, who played 26 minutes, got 8 rebounds, plus James's performance in the final quarter, and the three-point that overtook the score, this was originally a game in which James fans boasted about James' performance at critical moments.

But by Barkley's words, the video of the last two minutes of the game between the Heat and the Nets a few hours ago went viral!

Originally, before the last two minutes, the Nets trailed by 6 points, and the Heat finally ended up in the last two minutes by the Nets who only scored 8 points in the first 10 minutes to play a wave of 6-4, although the last 4 points were also scored by James himself, but the Nets' 6 points had a lot to do with the fact that he was put in early to grab the rebound and was found by the opponent to block and dismantle the outside line, scoring a three-pointer and a 2+1 that cut in.

On the Miami side, James had already suffered a critical blow after watching the game between the Grizzlies and the Clippers, why did the opponents he met desperately want to kill him, but the Clippers, a playoff team, was languishing? It made him feel that God was so unfair!

Forget it, he is ready to make a good fuss when he plays the Bobcats in the next game, and there are still 20 games, which is enough for him and Sun Ce to fight.

But as soon as Barkley's words came out, James felt that this guy was cutting off his way to swipe data while locking up the win!

"Why is the whole world targeting me?"
