The much-anticipated Chinese derby is about to begin, and the attention of this game is bursting, first of all, the huge attention of the Chinese derby in China; On the U.S. side, whether the Grizzlies can tie the Knicks' 8-game winning streak is very eye-catching, and even around the world, although ESPN did not get this game live, it was already booked by .T, but ESPN broadcast this game live in Asia, Europe, and South America.

And Sun Ce, who just got 320 million US dollars, what kind of performance will he have?

At half past eight in the evening, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game and threw the ball into the air......

The darkest moment of Yao Ming's career came, what were he afraid of, as the center of the national team, he actually lost to the point guard of the national team when he jumped the ball!

Sun Ce won the jump ball from Yao Ming's head, triggering a carnival on the spot, and Sun Ce, who flicked the ball to the rear, was about to directly attack the opponent's old starting lineup by surprise, and as soon as he landed, he was hit by Yao Ming, who turned around in one step, and almost fell.

No mercy at all! After Yao Ming reasonably blocked Sun Ce, he immediately ran back and returned to the basket.

Sun Ce is angry, this Yao Dasha with thick eyebrows and square face has learned badly! I actually played a little action! Despicable and shameless! When did you learn bad from whom?

After halftime, Nash passed the ball to Sun Ce to open up the space, Sun Ce received the ball in the top arc, facing Marion's defense, it was not easy to play, this guy was a bit like Prince, very restrained by his type of players, Kobe, Durant and even Nowitzki, who usually played below average performance in the face of Marion.

But the other party is such an inside combination, and there is a way to deal with it, Sun Ce beckoned to find Gasol Jr. to block and dismantle, Yao Ming stayed at close range, Nowitzki changed the defense and expanded, so Sun Ce beckoned again, looking for Randolph to come out, double block and dismantle!

Marion was sandwiched by Randolph and Gasol Jr. on the left and right, and Sun Ce broke through in the direction of Yao Ming!

It's for Yao Ming!

In the early years, Yao Ming's defense was okay, and in the 06-07 season, the Jazz, the Western Conference Finals team, hit a tie-break, and limited Deron to an average of 16 points per game, you must know that Delon played the championship Spurs that season with an average of 25 points per game, and Yao Ming had no way to expand the defensive shooter Oku before.

But now, despite losing more than a dozen kilograms, Yao Ming's straight line movement before and after has become faster, but the lateral movement is not as good as when he was in his 20s, when he ate and slept and played Warcraft, relying on Howard No matter how he found an opportunity to get close to the basket, Yao Ming could block between Howard and the basket, and the defense and dismantling relied on the lateral movement to directly confront, and if you want him to block and retreat, he will definitely not be able to keep up, so the defense of the Rockets has always been known for being rough, and it was initiated from Yao Ming, who seemed to be the least rough.

But this time, Yao Ming couldn't keep up, over 30 years old, although relying on weight loss to make the lateral movement degradation caused by age not so big, but there is a decline is a decline, and Sun Ce took advantage of the pace of blocking and dismantling a step later, much more than other guards, and easily threw off Yao Ming to break into the basket and scored two points with one hand.

The commentators of the imperial court station are ridiculing Sun Ce for bullying Yao Ming, and his lateral movement is not as fast as it was back then.

Sun Ce can't help it! It's Yao Ming who doesn't talk about affection, so he can't be blamed for not respecting the old, the other party is a clear weakness, unless Yao Ming plays as a substitute to avoid this weakness, otherwise the start will definitely be used by the other party...... Whether others use it or not, he will definitely use it.

The offensive end played beautifully, but when it came to the defensive end, Sun Ce's egg hurt something.

Conley singled Paul George for two points on a mid-range pullup jumper!

The space for the Dallas shooting team is also too good!

If you want to talk about the best team to avoid the defense, Sun Ce thinks that only the Spurs can wrestle with the Mavericks, which is indeed too good, DeSean Stevenson and Marion stand in the bottom corners on both sides, DeSean Stevenson averaged 2.2 three-pointers per game in the finals last year, a big player, and Marion can shoot and cut.

Yao Ming and Nowitzki stood in the elbow area on either side, and Conley singled with the top arc.

When Conley was shooting, he stood in a straight line with Yao Ming and DeSean Stevenson, and at the same time stood in a straight line with Nowitzki and Marion, and he was alive and well.

True-triangle offense!

Since Conley started to play singles at the top arc, he greatly avoided the defects of his lack of vision, and brought out the advantages of his singles ability and passing accuracy, and to be able to give full play to Conley's advantages, the two pitchers in the bottom corner are secondary, and the point is that the twin towers can pass the ball in the high post!

If you use Chandler, you will definitely not be able to play such an attack, but with Chandler, you don't have to play like this.

Of course, the most important thing is that Conley's singles ability is far stronger than Kidd's, so that the Mavericks can play this style of play, and moreover, they didn't play much before the All-Star weekend, just played their Grizzlies, and deliberately exposed the style of play.

Conley is averaging 14.4 points and 5 assists per game this season, and has not improved much in passing, but has improved a lot in singles, and Carlisle has focused on Conley's development.

It is obvious that Conley cannot become a playmaker like Kidd, without that talent, like Kidd, he can organize the offense well without holding the ball much, and the current players, except for Sun Ce, it is estimated that Dio once had that talent, and he can't find a third one.

Therefore, this season, the Mavericks have made their season plan clear from the beginning, in addition to letting Nowitzki and Yao Ming take turns to find their senses and exercise Conley and Chandler's blocking, the most important thing is to strengthen Conley's singles, regardless of versatility, Conley is still talented in singles alone.

After 30 games, the Grizzlies played against the Mavericks again, and felt that Conley, who had changed a lot after half a season, really surprised Paul George, who defended him.

Paul George really can't prevent it, Conley really has a big heart, facing Paul George, who is 20 cm taller than him, once he has the opportunity, he will shoot decisively, Paul George can only stick to the defense, and then he is broken through, Gasol Jr. contracted, Conley passed back to Yao Ming, attracting Sun Ce or Randolph to make up the defense, Yao Ming's vision, and the ball was also very good.

And the Mavericks' position, when Conley is in good shape, their Grizzlies really only have to shrink, and it is impossible for Randolph and Gasol Jr. to expand to the upper line to defend, and Conley's position also pins Sun Ce in the bottom corner.

And today Conley was really in good shape, scoring 6 points and 2 assists in the first quarter!

The Mavericks also scored 16 points in 6 minutes of playing time!

However, it was not the Mavericks who called a timeout in the end, and when it was 6 minutes into play, the Mavericks' head coach Carlisle immediately called a timeout.

They scored 16 points in 6 minutes, and they shot 6-of-9 during that time, including 1-of-2 three-pointers and 3-of-3 free throws.

But the Grizzlies shot 8-of-11! Among them, he was 2-of-3 from three-point range and 3-of-4 from the free-throw line.

Sun Ce caught the opposite twin towers slowly, especially Yao Ming's play, he had to play blocking and demolition, Carlisle went to the sidelines to direct Yao Ming to change the defense of Paul George during a defense, Sun Ce did not let Yao Ming go, Sun Ce asked Randolph to go to the bottom line to open up space, and called Paul George to block Marion......

Yao Ming is about to scold the street.

And the Mavericks' offense played okay, and today they really used this style of play to attack in the opening game, so Conley had to adapt to it and find confidence, so Carlisle did not call a timeout in advance, but called a timeout when it came to the official timeout.

But the Mavericks were also very good, Sun Ce scored 8 points and 3 assists, Nash scored a three-pointer and a long two-pointer, Paul George scored a three-pointer, Randolph scored a rebound and two offensive rebounds caused a foul and made 3 free throws, and the Grizzlies scored 21 points in 6 minutes, still only leading by 5 points.

It's true that I can't think of how to defend against the Mavericks' tactics, it's not that there is no way, but the lineup on the court can't think of a way, there is a very simple solution, and replacing Tony Allen will most likely be able to solve Conley's singles in 4 shots and 3, but at this stage, the Grizzlies don't dare to change easily, which may affect the offense.

As a result, the two teams played a beautiful half-quarter offensive battle.

It's just that in terms of success rate and offensive rebounding, the Grizzlies are higher, and the double-block may not have much effect on Nowitzki + Chandler, but it is too good to play Nowitzki + Yao Ming.

And Sun Ce played Yao Ming and pulled the basket empty, obviously Randolph's mobility ability is not comparable to Yao Ming and Nowitzki, with the offensive rebounding guarantee, the Grizzlies shot 2 of 3 three-pointers, the only three-point shot that did not score, and was fouled by Randolph who grabbed the rebound.

It is true that the Mavericks tried a new style of play that caught the Grizzlies off guard on the defensive end, but the Mavericks did even worse defensively.

After calling a timeout, Carlisle replaced Yao Ming first, replaced Chandler, and replaced DeSean Stevenson with Jason Terry.

Carlisle thinks he can have a good discussion with Yao Ming, at present, Yao Ming and Nowitzki's positions are too overlapping, the two are on the same page, and the offensive end is indeed unstoppable, but on the defensive end, both of them have declined to varying degrees, and the defensive effect is much worse than last season, and it is good to play offense at critical moments or at the end of the quarter, but the regular time is really not good, and the Grizzlies can actually score 21 points in 6 minutes!

What the hell is this.

On the other side, the Grizzlies replaced Gasol Jr., who had played half a quarter, and did not immediately change to the run-and-gun lineup, and Nash also went down to rest first, and put on Tony Allen, Klay Thompson, Jordan Jr., plus Sun Ce and Randolph on the court together, or continue to play positional battles.

……

Coming back from the timeout, the Mavericks fielded a combination of Conley, Jason Terry, Marion, Nowitzki, and Chandler.

Seeing the opponent's lineup, Sun Ce knew that one of the two sets of lineups that the opponent's All-Star weekend had been running in was coming.

The two lineups actually play in a similar way, the difference is that Yao Ming and Nowitzki play differently, which in turn leads to Conley's passing style.

The Mavericks serve in the middle, Klay Thompson guards the top arc to defend Conley, Tony Allen goes to defend Jason Terry, Nowitzki goes to the outside line to defend Sun Ce, and goes to the inside line to defend Randolph, the division of labor is clear, Jordan Jr. and Chandler are two tall and thin physical men engaged in hand-to-hand combat.

Conley dribbled to outside the three-point line, and Chandler, who had been fighting with Jordan Jr. for a while, pulled out and blocked Conley.

The Grizzlies' attention is focused on Conley and Chandler's pick-and-rolls, Chandler's pick-and-rolls are solid and ferocious, and Sun Ce has begun to close inside.

Conley rushed to the right side of the three-second zone with all his strength after blocking and dismantling, and was ready to jump with all his might, which was close to 100 centimeters of running and jumping, and it was difficult for Jordan Jr. to jump vertically to block, so he could only try his best to interfere with Chandler's pass or shoot from the left side of Conley's pass.

Conley's pass is out, but the direction is not to the left side of the three-second zone, but to the top arc!

Sun Ce saw the ball suddenly fly towards him, and before he could wave his hand, the ball hit the floor on his right side and bounced to the right side of the top arc...... Hit!

This ball is called a sass!

Conley lifted the ball up and jumped, and when it fell, he pulled the ball back to his waist, and the focus was on Nowitzki's steady delivery of the ball in a hurry.

The fans at the scene could obviously see that Nowitzki was very flustered when he received the ball, but Nowitzki had strong personal ability, good shooting stability, and threw the ball in, and it was not necessarily possible to change someone.

After the goal, the Mavericks quickly retreated, Sun Ce received the serve and slowly advanced, and then played Randolph.

It's not wise to play run and bomb with the Mavericks, you can try, but not in the first quarter, and unexpectedly scored 21 points in the first half of the quarter, such an unimaginable high score, of course, you have to hold on, and if there is an accident, then consider running and bombing.

After Chandler came on the court, Nowitzki moved to the center position on the defensive end, guarding the basket and grabbing defensive rebounds, which is where he did a good job on the defensive end.

After Sun Ce arrived in the frontcourt, Marion defended up, and Chandler went around in front of Jordan Jr., who could help defend or take it back......

These two are not easy to deal with!

Hanging the ball to Randolph leaning on Nowitzki, Sun Ce immediately cut inside, and Jordan Jr. came to the right mid-range to help Sun Ce block Marion, attracting Chandler to expand the defense.

But Marion's defense was clear-sighted, was blocked, and immediately went to the basket and pinched Randolph!

Randolph wanted to find Sun Ce, Sun Ce once again used Jordan Jr. to block and dismantle back to the top arc, Jason Terry pressed to the passing line before Randolph and Sun Ce, Randolph couldn't pass, and could only pass to Tony Allen, who ran in the middle, and Tony Allen flew to the basket......

Didn't go in! The ball hit the neck of the basket and missed the frontal layup......

Randolph grabbed the offensive rebound, but missed it under the sandwich of Nowitzki and Marion, and Nowitzki defended the defensive rebound.

Sure enough, the Mavericks began to play with Conley and Chandler's pick-and-roll offense.

Conley's sassy pass begins!

As the chief lover of white chocolate, Carlisle, who took a fancy to Conley's steady passing and strong psychological quality, didn't expect Conley to have such a side.

Coldly, he passed the ball to the receiver, and most of his teammates couldn't catch it at all.

However, after a long time, Carlisle also thought of a way to not stifle Conley's ability to be cultivated by Jason Williams at some point, and such a characteristic is always useful.

And unlike Jason Williams, Jason Williams has no moderation when he is in a commotion, he doesn't know how to adjust, he is stable when he is stable, and he has no aura at all; Conley is looking at who his teammates are, and if it's an athletic interior like Brandon White and Chandler, he'll be sassy, and if it's Masimmy and Yao Ming, he'll pass the ball honestly.

Pure playfulness, Conley is not as good as Jason Williams, and his organizational offensive talent is indeed much worse than the top, quasi-first-class level; In terms of stability, Conley's stable playmaking offense may not be as good as Jason Williams, or a matter of playmaking offensive talent, Conley is a scoring point guard.

But Conley's calm mentality, Sassy and steady transition, this aspect of Jason Williams can't compare, Jason Williams only found a little bit of feeling in the season when he retired last season, but Conley can start out.

Therefore, Carlisle specially equipped Conley with a lineup, playing blocking and dismantling with Chandler, with Jason Terry and Nowitzki, two teammates who can receive passes and throw the ball in, when he is alone with Nowitzki, he uses Chandler to block and dismantle, and when he is alone with Yao Ming, he uses Brandon White to block and dismantle.

Nowitzki and Yao Ming, on the other hand, are regular catchers or cake eaters.

This is the regular style of play for the Mavericks in 34 games before the All-Star weekend, and the Grizzlies are prepared to limit Marion's cut-and-shoot three-pointers and Chandler's pick-and-roll pull-and-roll.

But the cooperation between Conley and the outside line, even if you are prepared, you still can't prevent it!

Fortunately, Randolph's offensive rebounding today is really fierce, bullying Nuo Tianwang not to be wanted, 6 offensive rebounds in a single quarter, Chandler and Marion are there, Randolph's low-post offense is enough, but the offensive rebounding is really awesome.

Relying on Randolph's 6 offensive rebounds in a single quarter without normal singles, a total of 9 points, 7 rebounds and 1 assist, the Grizzlies led by 3 points at 34-31 and entered the break.

……

Returning to the bench and sitting down, Sun Ce played the first quarter, scoring 12 points, 3 boards and 5 assists, and Randolph had 9 points, 7 boards and 1 assist, both of them played so well, but they only led by 3 points!

Although there is preparation for the opponent's style of play, after all, this season is the first time to play against the Mavericks, who are in a recovering state, and the defense is not very good.

The Mavericks scored 15 points in the second half of the quarter, which can be said to be a very failed defense.

As for the first half of the quarter, it was even more defeated, and the opponent scored 16 points.

Positional warfare is not cheap!

In the face of the Mavericks, even if Gasol Jr. is here, if you want to consider the offensive end at the same time, the defense is estimated to be too good.

Watching the lineup of Nash, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, and Jordan Jr. on the court, don't worry too much during this time, Teacher Na will handle the offense, at least for Biao, for Biao, Teacher Na is there, Sun Ce is very relieved.

It's just that they can't play all the time, they didn't play a 36-minute run-and-bomb lineup, and at the latest, they had to reopen the positional battle mode in the second half.

Sun Ce thought that the Mavericks would slowly grow old, and their style of play might not change, but who knew that they had actually embarked on a new path! With Conley as the core, there is a feeling of rejuvenation!

Sun Ce began to ponder, he had to think of a way!
