Sun Ce has long known that it is not a good way to beat Yao Ming with the speed of the center, Howard's physical fitness, running so fast, not every time he meets Yao Ming, he is beaten according to him, Sun Ce has checked Yao Ming and Howard's counterpoint record.

At present, Yao Ming has won 11 games, Howard has won 3 games, the most cruel thing is that Yao Ming has played Howard for an average of 36 minutes per game, Howard with such good physical strength can only play an average of 34 minutes per game, Yao Ming averages 22.5 points and 10.5 boards per game, with a shooting rate of 57 percent, and Howard averages 11 + 9 per game, with a shooting rate of 45 percent.

Didn't Big Van Gundy know to use Howard's speed against Yao Ming? Obviously, it is impossible not to know that Sun Ce has never partnered with the group of people in the Magic team, and I don't know why it can't be done, but it can be guessed that it is because Yao Ming's success rate under this style of play is too high.

And the Magic team is similar to their Grizzlies, there is no lineup that can always play fast offense, which may also be related to the lack of a good run-and-gun organizer, but Howard can't guard against Yao Ming, and he can't prevent it despite trying his best to consume more than usual.

Although it is not a success to use running and bombing against Yao Ming, who has his current teammates, it is certainly not a failure, at least it is evenly matched, because their side is definitely more efficient than Howard to counterattack, after all, there is a guard combination of Nash and Sun Ce.

Moreover, Sun Ce's eyes are not just on this one game, but on the entire series!

Even if they lose the second game, as long as the overall goal is executed in place, their hopes of winning later will grow.

Moreover, they have not lost yet, they are still 1 point ahead, although they are worried that the score will be tight at the critical moment in case Nowitzki breaks out, and no one on the key side can compete with Nowitzki.

But the game has only been played for less than 9 minutes, and I am worried that it is too early to do this, step by step.

Of course, adjustments must be adjusted.

After Sun Ce and Nash discussed with Coach Hollins, they adjusted the run-and-bomb, and now it should not be called run-and-bomb, but defensive counterattack!

……

After the timeout, Sun Ce came on with a combination of Nash, Klay Thompson, Yi Jianlian, and Aaron Gray.

The Grizzlies put Redno on the inactive list tonight and put Aaron Gray on just to have a big center to hold off Yao Ming while Gasol Jr. rested.

There were no substitutions on the Mavericks' side, and the 4 offenses were easy, with Conley, Delonte West, Marion, Brandon Knight, and Yao Ming continuing to play.

Yao Ming walked to the free throw line and hit both free throws, Sun Ce picked up the ball and sent it to Nash, who pressed the rhythm and pushed forward, waiting for his teammates to take position.

After Nash arrived in the frontcourt, Yi Jianlian pulled out from under the basket, Brandon Knight followed out, and was steadily blocked by Aaron Gray, Yi Jianlian crossed the three-second zone after the block, and ran to the right side of the three-second zone, which was within the range that Yao Ming could expand out and shrink back to the basket, Yao Ming immediately followed, Yi Jianlian, who had a 45.7 percent long two-point shooting percentage and averaged 1.7 long two-point shots per game, after having a stable team and stable playing time, although he is not a middle-distance master, he does not consider the comprehensive ability and only looks at the means and efficiency, which is better than Gasol Jr., otherwise there are not so many opportunities to reverse running and cutting into the air, that is, relying on the outside line to pull the opponent out and then rely on athleticism to cut in.

However, when Yao Ming followed Yi Jianlian to the right side of the three-second zone, Yi Jianlian ran out not to catch the ball and throw it for himself or to block and dismantle Nash, but to block and dismantle Yi Jianlian who cut in!

Sun Ce took advantage of Yi Jianlian's blocking to get rid of Marion's entanglement and rushed into the basket, if Yi Jianlian ran back, Yao Ming could barely keep up, after all, he wouldn't expand too much, but Sun Ce couldn't keep up when he cut into Yao Ming.

Sun Ce rushed into the basket, the ball from Nash was passed right into place, very good pass prediction, Sun Ce received the ball, Brandon Knight did not come up to make up for the defense, Sun Ce jumped on the spot and gently put the ball into the basket.

Yao Ming shook his head and ran to the frontcourt, this ball is his pot, he should let Yi Jianlian out, and giving Sun Ce and Yi Jianlian a chance to shoot is better than being cut into the inside by Sun Ce.

Sun Ce's dunk under the basket was too strong a deterrent, except for Chandler and him Yao, no one else, including Ma Simmi, could bear it.

Although Sun Ce's mid-range shooting is also very powerful, averaging 4.8 mid-range shots + mid-range hooks per game in the regular season, in terms of deterrence, with the skill of overlord buckle and the explosive impact power is increased to the A+ level, the opponent's interior line is very reluctant to let Sun Ce enter the basket.

No, Brandon Knight didn't even dare to press it.

After Yao Ming came to the frontcourt, he continued to fall into a low position, and Yi Jianlian didn't go up to attack, so he used Aaron Gray to defend one.

Still didn't defend it, but Aaron Gray defended, at least the tonnage was enough, although he didn't have Gasol Jr.'s defensive skills, but the tonnage was more than Gasol Jr., so he didn't jump on his shoulders, Yao Ming turned over and stood on tiptoe and threw his hand...... Still very steady, shooting from close range.

However, it takes more effort than hitting Little Jordan, and for Yao Ming, it is much easier to run into it and dunk than to turn over.

Just as Yao Ming was shooting, Yi Jianlian, who was stuck with Brandon Knight on the other side of the three-second zone and was about to rush to grab the rebound, immediately picked up the ball and sent it to Nash, and then Yi Jianlian rushed out to the opposite side.

4 Players Fast Attack!

On the Mavericks' side, from Conley to Brandon Knight, the Grizzlies played 4 to 4 in the frontcourt, and Nash didn't have the easy chance to score as easily as he did in the first three rounds to make a shot and pass to Klay Thompson for a three-pointer.

But it was certainly easier for Nash to play a quick offense than a positional battle, Nash found an opportunity in the transition between attack and defense, passed the ball to Yi Jianlian, who cut in and attracted Marion and Brandon Knight's pinch to hang the right sideline...... Hit!

Although the Grizzlies have transformed into a 4-man fast attack, the Mavericks' side has good defensive discipline and no panic, and Carlyle's defensive strategy is clear, mainly blocking baskets and three-pointers, and 4 defenses and 4 defenses are obviously easier to defend than 4 defenses and 5, Nash and Klay Thompson are blocked to death, now look at Sun Ce's mid-range shot.

More than 3 minutes after the first quarter to 4 minutes before the second quarter, the Grizzlies insisted on playing when Yao Ming was on the floor.

In the fast-break counterattack, Sun Ce will shoot when he has the opportunity, and if he has the opportunity to block and dismantle Nash or Klay Thompson, he will also block and dismantle, and strive to do his best in 4 to 4.

On Yao Ming's side, when he has the physical strength to play alone, he still has no solution, which is more efficient than Sun Ce's mid-pitch shot.

However, you can't play singles all the time, Yao Ming plays two or three, you have to slow down, Conley and Brandon Knight began to use Yao Ming's mid-range shooting threat to block and dismantle cooperation.

Every time Yao Ming rested, it was when the Grizzlies created a little lead, but they couldn't pull it away.

At 4:06 of the second quarter, the Mavericks made a substitution, with a combination of Barria, Jason Terry, DeSean Stevenson, Nowitzki, and Chandler on the court.

The Grizzlies also made substitutions, with Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Paul George, Randolph, and Gasol Jr. coming on.

Sun Ce's desperate performance on the offensive end today is not weaker than in the last game, playing 16 minutes so far, shooting 6 of 11, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, scoring 14 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block and 1 steal, and his performance is very good, helping the team only trail the Mavericks 32-33 after 16 minutes.

In the past 10 minutes, Sun Ce scored 12 points and helped the Grizzlies carry Yao Ming's 10 minutes on the court, playing an 18-20 score, although they are two points behind, but their Grizzlies have the ball next.

Since the second half of the first quarter so far, their Grizzlies have mainly used Aaron Gray on the defensive end to consume Yao Ming, and the offensive end has tried to play fast offense, and Sun Ce's defensive consumption is smaller, and he estimates that it will be no problem to play the first half.

Looking at the Mavericks' side of the direct five up and five down, Sun Ce felt that many old coaches in the league had learned badly, and he didn't know who made this trick, which was too annoying.

……

After the timeout, the Mavericks started with Barria + Chandler's blocking as the offensive core, Jason Terry singled, Nowitzki contained, and DeSean Stevenson receiving and shooting.

This lineup is better offensively than the Mavericks' starting lineup today, but the defense is much worse, only the interior defense is good, the death of Barria and Jason Terry on the outside is short, the offensive firepower is fierce, but the defensive end is a lot worse.

In the last 8 minutes of the first half, Sun Ce got 6 high-post back-to-back or low-post back-to-back opportunities, playing Deshane Stevenson on the high back, and if he encountered a switch to Barria and Jason Terry, he went to the low post, 3 of 5 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, plus a three-point shot that was about to arrive in 24 seconds to catch Randolph's throw, Sun Ce scored 11 points in 8 minutes, helping the team score 19 points in the last 8 minutes of the second quarter.

The defense against the Mavericks was not as good as in the first half of the first quarter, and the Mavericks scored 17 points, but the Grizzlies played better on their own offense.

At the end of the half, relying on Nash's 4-man fast break, Gasol Jr.'s hard shooting and mid-range shooting, and the team's hard implementation of defensive strategies, coupled with Sun Ce's performance of 25 points, 7 boards, 5 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal in 24 minutes in the half, the Grizzlies led the Mavericks by 1 point at 51-50 and entered the halftime.

……

Back in the locker room, Sun Ce immediately went into the bathroom, he was going to be tired!

Defensively, due to the opponent's tactical adjustments and on-the-spot adjustments, their Grizzlies have to implement a attrition plan again, and their defense is not as good as in the last game.

Fortunately, he played better on the offensive end, and it was the kind of good that Sun Ce wanted!

He scored 25 points in the half, which has something to do with the fact that he doesn't need to allocate physical strength to selective offense like other players, and his style of play is similar to Kobe Bryant, who is two or three years younger, working hard when he has the opportunity, and doesn't care about physical strength at all.

Of course, if there are no contingencies, he plays like this, and it will be wasted at halftime, and it is the Mavericks who are happy.

Sun Ce sat down on the toilet in one of the cubicles, and breathed a sigh of relief, he could also see that the Mavericks just wanted to play slowly, wanting to consume their sharpness.

However, this is relative, and their Grizzlies side also wants to drain the physical strength of several Mavericks veterans.

And Sun Ce also saw that whether it was Yao Ming, Nowitzki or Jason Terry, they didn't have the ability to pull the difference apart with a wave of onslaught in the playoffs last season.

It is true that their overall performance is not lost to last season, but that explosive scoring ability is gone, such as Yao Ming is gone, and after trailing the Trail Blazers by 15 points, he scored 15 points in a row to help the Mavericks narrow the gap to less than 10 points after the third quarter, and Javitzki created the explosive ability of the fourth quarter supernatural performance, and Jason Terry lost the explosive ability of 8 three-pointers in a single game.

Nowitzki is hard to say, but in the fourth quarter of the last game, when he led the team to overtake the score, Nowitzki didn't step up immediately, or in the last 55 seconds, Carlisle called a timeout, and gave Nowitzki a catch-and-shoot three-point strategy, Nowitzki completed the tie score, and then Jason Terry threw in a quasi-shot.

At the end of the half, Sun Ce felt that the strategy they executed was correct, and the targeted discussion from noon yesterday to noon today was not in vain.

But that's all after that, and now Sun Ce needs to break out and win this game!

He knew that the Mavericks must be betting on whether he would be able to play like the first half in the second half, after all, he had a brutal outburst in the last game and then was targeted in the next game.

With such a possibility, the Mavericks will definitely try.

Sun Ce knew that the lower limit of their Grizzlies team was very high, because the overall lineup was strong, and if it wasn't for the early encounter with Hu Ma Niu, it would never be a problem to hit the west.

But the one who raised the upper limit was only one of his grandchildren!

In the first half of these two games, he fought so hard to improve the team's ceiling, and the team had real championship-level strength, but the Mavericks were too strong, and they were also championship-level strength, and the last game plus the first half of this game was on par.

After looking at the prop space, Sun Ce thought about which card to use.

Lin is crazy about the player card, it may be very pitiful, if it is random to the lonely god...... S-level point guard card, this must be one of Sun Ce's best star experience cards at present, but this is not yet a life and death game, and it will be difficult to use it in advance and really encounter a predicament.

Sun Ce gritted his teeth, although the team's attrition strategy was implemented very well, but tonight must win, otherwise it will be miserable to go away from 0-2 behind, if you really accidentally lose the third game, it will be over directly.

Sun Ce has made a decision - now he can only use the turtle and turtle card instead!

The current Westbrook is definitely not as good as Rose, who has the strength to impact MVP, but it can only be so, originally Sun Ce wanted to collect four turtle cards and exchange them for the blessing of Magic or Peyton.

But now it can only be used, the poor man's version of Rose is the poor man's version, in the first half, he fought for a small run and a high back play and has thrown 5 mid-range shots, the threat is out, and now the main attack is on the basket!

Take out the blindfold you got from Zu Goose before you go back to the lounge and put it on......

"Learning machine boss, use the Westbrook star experience card!"
