"Christmas Eve Extravaganza (B):

……

Goal 2: In this year's Christmas War, the host needs to complete a dunk on the head of Tim Duncan in the best background. (Completed)

……”

It was done so easily, Sun Ce turned around and wanted to high-five Guy in celebration, but Guy really raised his hand...... But Guy reacted immediately, passing by Sun Ce's world, patting Duncan on the back, and wittily alleviating the embarrassing situation that almost appeared.

At this time, it was Sun Ce's turn to be embarrassed, but wit was contagious, and his old teammates were also indirectly infected, so he withdrew his hand and applauded himself......

This ball, that is, Duncan's good defensive habits, another person may not be able to pull Sun Ce on his back in a panic.

Sun Ce was completely frightened to see Duncan's weight loss of at least 10 pounds twice, still having a body size of 110 kilograms, and Guy's near-perfect swing man figure similar to Maddie, forgetting that his explosiveness was not lost to these two.

But when the "Overlord Buckle Level 1" was triggered, Sun Ce reacted suddenly.

"Overlord deduction level 1: If the host receives the ball in the three-second zone, and successfully tricks the opponent into jumping with a false shake action, the host jumps and dunks within 2 seconds, and the bullet speed is increased by a large grade to S, and the interference caused by the opponent's confrontation is greatly reduced, which is higher than the host's strength evaluation The opponent's non-vicious confrontation within 1 large grade can be ignored."

Ignoring the effect of the confrontation can't be triggered, the strength of these two people, Guy's A-level strength is a big grade higher than the B-level strength of his grandson, but it is still possible to greatly reduce the confrontation.

The trigger skill mainly relies on Guy being shaken away, Sun Ce didn't think he could knock Duncan back, although he was more explosive, but the weight difference was more than ten kilograms, at most Duncan couldn't continue to jump and block, but Duncan didn't expect Sun Ce to be so fierce, he was ready to judge that when Sun Ce lifted the ball again, he directly jumped up and dropped Sun Ce's layup, this position, Duncan was fully confident that he could take Sun Ce's layup hat down.

Who knew that Sun Ce could have such a strong explosive impact!

Guy is okay, he is used to watching Sun Ce break out on the sidelines, but he feels that he is stupid and too excited to be shaken away, otherwise Sun Ce would not have such a good opportunity to dunk after the confrontation, if it weren't for Duncan's good defensive awareness, even if Sun Ce didn't dunk the ball, he might have fouled if he changed the inside.

Duncan's heart was broken, listening to the cheers of Duncan, the fans at the scene, and the children grimacing at him and taunting him......

He could stop Sun Ce, but when he saw Sun Ce retract the ball and make a forceful action, he thought that Sun Ce was going to get up again, so he stood on tiptoe to prepare for the block, but he failed to stabilize his center of gravity and was knocked back by Sun Ce.

Before the game, the hairstyle was pressed by the double emperor combination, and now it is used as a background at the beginning of the game.

Under the double background blow, Duncan silently ran to the frontcourt.

The fans booed, heckled, and ridiculed...... It didn't affect Duncan's mood at all, he felt that the main reason for this bad luck was that the hairstyle was not strong enough!

At the beginning of the game, the two teams played well, and the Grizzlies' starting lineup offense was generally much stronger than last season, with Nash passing better than Conley and shooting threats greater than Conley; Although Paul George's fixed-point shooting stability is not as good as Battier's, he has a wider shooting range, and he can shoot every point outside the three-point line, which plays a better role in stretching, and the Spurs do not underestimate him, and his talent is really good.

These two containment points played a role, with Randolph's low-post single, Gasol Jr.'s high-level setter or shooting, and Sun Ce's running-and-catching shooting as the core of the three points of play, which was simple and rough, and effective.

In the first half of the first quarter, Sun Ce dunked once, and unexpectedly and easily completed the goal of dunking on Duncan's head in the "Christmas Eve Carnival" at the beginning of the game, in addition, there was also a catch-and-shoot on the right side, and a three-point shot from a second pass to Nash, which was also Nash's first goal for the Grizzlies.

With Randolph scoring 6 points and 3 rebounds, and Gasol Jr. also scoring 2 points and 2 assists on 1-of-2 shooting, the Grizzlies scored 15 points in the first quarter.

It's just that the Grizzlies team's lineup, the defense is really not good, Sun Ce has been upgraded to Class A with his endurance evaluation and is relatively good in Class A, as well as the last game of the playoffs last season and the physical potion that can be used when the two preseason games are fully charged, the defense is very hard, and the expansion and contraction of the efforts are hard, and the overall defense of the Grizzlies is still average.

Sun Ce's role as a defensive connection point, teammates are very important, Randolph's average defensive performance is average, and Nash's side is simply a black hole! It's so dark that it's boundless.

Nash also worked hard, but he and Vujacic are the same type, Sun Ce has seen two people work so hard and defend so badly, these are the two of them.

And the Spurs' offense is really good, Guy is as Sun Ce expected, he is not greedy for the ball, not greedy for the right to play, and the Spurs are very suitable, and it can be seen that the Spurs really use him as the best player on the outside, from the right to shoot to the tactical position, it is higher than the current stronger Parker, Guy scored 8 points in the first half of the quarter! The Spurs also scored 18 points in the first quarter, beating the Grizzlies.

After Gay hit a third-point shot, and a three-pointer to give the Spurs a three-point lead, Coach Hollins called a timeout and the game went into an official timeout.

If it was last season, Sun Ce played so hard and the score was behind, it must have been Sun Ce who continued to play and rushed with a run-and-bomb lineup.

But this time it was different, Sun Ce returned to the bench and sat down, saw his 4 points, 1 board, 1 assist and 1 block data, recalled the performance of the Spurs in the first half of the first quarter and thought, the coaching staff's defensive strategy was very good, Sun Ce and his teammates executed it very well, but Danny Green made a three-point shot first, which confused the idea of Sun Ce and Gasol Jr.'s main defense opponent's blocking and dismantling offense, Danny Green can shoot this point, and the Spurs become difficult to defend.

Coach Hollins was speechless, just about to leave Gary Neal, a key role player in their regular season last season, only to have another Danny Green on the other side!

What the hell is going on with this team, a marginal person who only played 28 games in the first two seasons of his career, it looks like he shouldn't stay in the NBA, good guys, the new season has changed, and it seems that he is still very defensive, and Sun Ce has done a good job of catching and shooting.

It's not Danny Green that hurts Sun Ce's egg, but - Popovich said that he hates blocking and three-point shooting the most! As a result, the Spurs' system is to find offensive breakthroughs around blocking and three-point shooting!

Thinking of Popovich's yin last season, he met one of the Lakers and the Mavericks in advance, and used up the star experience card early, otherwise Battier could still play a lot of time last year, Morrow was in such good shape, and the whole team worked so hard, it was not impossible to kill the Mavericks in the West.

If he hadn't won an MVP, Sun Ce would have to curse this old monster with a villain.

Sun Ce, Randolph and Gasol Jr. returned to the bench and sat down, Nash and Paul George continued to be left on the court, and Neil, Yi Jianlian and Jordan Jr. were replaced.

Klay Thompson still suffered a little as a rookie, and Coach Hollins chose Neal, who seems to be more secure with NBA experience, to partner Nash, wanting to give Nash the lineup that is easiest to show his ability at the beginning of the season.

Nash continued to stay on the court, and he spent very little on the offensive end in the first half of the first quarter, passing the ball, standing at a 45-degree angle, catching the ball and shooting once, and also shooting, and working the defensive end...... He's actually been working hard, but he can't prevent it, which isn't an extra cost.

And after running back and forth for a few minutes, he was physically active, ready to take a few teammates who can run and shoot!

……

Coming back from the timeout, the Spurs sent out a lineup of Parker, Ginobili, Richard Jefferson, Matt Bonner, and Boris Dior.

Sun Ce sat on the sidelines and watched the opposite lineup...... I really didn't expect it!

Is the opponent giving up the defense?

After the game continued, Sun Ce found that his guess was right, the opponent really didn't care about defense, Parker led the team and Nash against Biao!

The Grizzlies' offensive tactics are still simple, Nash pushes and runs and hits, and unlike Sun Ce, Sun Ce mainly grabs the rebound and then counterattacks, even if he serves and counterattacks, he also uses his own speed and size as a threat to run and bomb.

But Nash's running is very different, Paul George's excellent setter, Neal and Yi Jianlian's good setter are all used, Jordan Jr. is the only target to eat cakes, others have a chance to share the ball or score, Nash will pass the ball out, even the opponent retreats into position and falls into a positional battle, Nash can rely on his own shooting threat to play a fast offense.

This is not comparable to Sun Ce's half-baked run that he groped for himself! Sun Ce's running and bombing is purely due to his strong counterattack and propulsion ability, and the impact of the Double Emperor, Nash's running and bombing is really unique in Sun Ce's opinion! Even Paul, who was so powerful last season, Sun Ce felt that Nash was stronger with the run.

But on the Spurs' side, the offense is too stable!

Unlike the Grizzlies, who made two passes and solved the offense in seven or eight seconds, the Spurs had a brisk pace, but not pure fast, but finished an offense between 12 and 14 seconds, using movement, blocking with or without the ball, and Parker's passing ability to launch the offense.

Unlike the run-and-gun lineup led by Nash, which is full of sharpness, the feeling of the Spurs is stable! They are far less athletic than the Grizzlies, and they always get relatively better shots through what seems to be a complex run and pass, and they are not slow, but they are light and fluid.

The main thing is Parker, his breakthrough after a pass is broken, just like Sun Ce's ability evaluation, the 27-year-old and 28-year-old Parker's passing evaluation is A-level, and this year it reached the A level, which is the best year Sun Ce has ever seen Parker's passing.

Coupled with the increasingly perfect Spurs system, Parker's offensive performance was extremely efficient, even better than Guy in the first half of the first quarter, and Nash, who played with such a sharp run-and-gun lineup!

The confrontation continued until the middle of the second quarter, during which Klay Thompson replaced Paul George, Battier replaced Yi Jianlian, and Tony Allen went up to replace Neil for two minutes, and the effect was okay, such a muscular man rushed into the interior line is still quite bluffing.

In the past 13 minutes, the Grizzlies have not rested on Nash and Jordan Jr., who played the best.

Sun Ce also went up to replace Battier at the end of the first half of the second quarter to play power forward for a while, and luckily followed Jordan Jr.'s threat once and scored on a dunk under the desperate expression of Patrick Mills who switched to him.

Patti Mills was overheaded by Sun Ce, Sun Ce didn't do any feints, relying on A+-level explosiveness to directly bump into the opponent and dunk quickly, and also got a free throw, but unfortunately he was too excited to score a free throw.

In these 13 minutes, the Grizzlies scored 31 points and the Spurs scored 29 points, and the offensive efficiency of the two teams was frightening.

Nash got 4 points and 6 assists, Jordan Jr. 11 points, Paul George and Yi Jianlian each scored 5 points, Neil and Klay Thompson each scored a long two points, and the opponent's three-point blockage was very dead, and Paul George scored a three-pointer, Neal, Klay Thompson, and Battier did not have good three-point opportunities, but fortunately, the Grizzlies shot accurately today, and when the Spurs hit 56.5 percent shooting, they also narrowed the difference to 1 point, forcing the Spurs to call a timeout first.

Nash's performance made Sun Ce very sure that if he gave Nash the strength of the double emperor last season, it would definitely be more than the eighth in the west, even if it was eighth, if there were those veterans and the internal line was upgraded to the double emperor, it is estimated that it is really possible to be black eight, and Nash has nothing to say about this state.

It's a pity that Nash's age and physical strength have also dropped to A- level, and he was replaced after playing for 19 minutes in a row, and his next appearance is estimated to be in the second half of the third quarter.

Originally, Nash should have rested in the second quarter and played in the second half, but he played so well that Coach Hollins was reluctant to replace him, and with Sun Ce and Neil, there was no need to control Nash's playing timing, and he should play more when he performed well.

With five minutes left in the first half, the Grizzlies trailed the Spurs by one point at 46-47, and after discussing it with his coaching staff, Coach Hollins said to the players: "Noah, Tony, Paul, Sean, Mark, you are the five, Mark, you hold the three-second zone, Noah, you are in this position, ......"

Coach Hollins draws with a tactical board and lays up the defense, as for how to play on the offensive end of this lineup...... He can't control it, there are so many tactics in the team's tactical framework, and the players can do it themselves.

……

With a well-prepared defense by the coaching staff and a very unreliable offensive arrangement, Sun Ce played with Tony Allen, Paul George, Battier and Gasol Jr.

This big four lineup is dominated by a brisk defense, which is used to deal with the opponent's equally brisk offense.

On the Spurs' side, Duncan rested for as long as the Grizzlies ran and played, and finally played.

Duncan was joined by Patrick Mills, Corey Joseph, Gay, Richard Jefferson.

There was really no center available, and Popovich was reluctant to continue to let Duncan play center.

Coach Hollins looked at the other party and had another player he didn't know, not that he didn't know this person, but the scouting report didn't have any information, the Spurs bought the Canadian player Corey Joseph with the fourth pick in the second round for 500,000 US dollars in this year's draft, if there is any information, it is that this guy averaged 10 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game in his sophomore season, and he didn't make Crazy March.

"This insidious person really dares to use anyone!"

Coach Hollins couldn't help but complain, saying that the players and assistant coaches next to him felt very reasonable.

However, Coach Hollins did not dare to despise any player on the Spurs team, he saw it last year, anyone dared to use it, and everyone had their own characteristics.

After the official timeout, the Spurs attacked, Guy came up and tried to shoot one, the mid-range shot did not score, Duncan wanted to rely on flexibility and rebounding awareness to rush, but was blocked by Gasol Jr., Sun Ce quickly closed in to grab the defensive rebound, and immediately counterattacked!

The Spurs retreat is very fast, this big four small lineup, the outside four can also change defenses infinitely, but the fast retreat does not mean that they can defend well every time, Sun Ce advanced to the front court to prevent Cory Joseph in front of him!

Sun Ce immediately handed the ball to Gasol Jr., who followed up to the top arc, and came to the right side of the three-second zone to lean on Corey Joseph to ask for the ball.

received the ball from Gasol Jr., Sun Ce did not hesitate to even dribble the ball, turned over and made a jumper......

Guy immediately pounced on the defense and wanted to block.

But!

Sun Ce's bounce height was higher than Guy expected!

Sun Ce had expected Guy to come over to make up for the defense, but he seized the opportunity, when Guy pounced, he had already jumped to the highest point and threw the ball, not allowing Guy to be interfered with by his bounce speed and the bounce height that can dunk at the free throw line, and hit a mid-range turnover jumper!

"The King of the High Back Body is triggered at level 1, and the host's flip jump throwing speed is temporarily increased to A+......"

"The King of the Flip Jumper is triggered at level 1, and the host temporarily increases the jump height of this Flip Jumper to B+......"

It's so cool!

The bonus of these two skills is too cool, because the defender, that is, Corey Joseph, is not tall enough and weighs only 88 kilograms, Sun Ce completed the flip and jump action almost without interference, and the effect of his usual hard training was suddenly reflected.

And since the other party will always have a cognitive bias about his bounce and velocity...... The main reason is that he has changed too much, and the other party is used to his A-level bullet speed, but he can't get used to his sudden increase to A+ level of bullet speed and a big jump in height.

Playing the Spurs, Sun Ce has always felt that there is a move that will never lose its effect, even if the Spurs system is getting better and better, and the overall defense has improved a lot when Duncan is on the court, this move will not be outdated, that is, the mid-range jumper!

It's really possible that Sun Ce's high jump shot from other teams won't be so effective, but playing Spurs, he doesn't know when it has become his strongest offensive mid-range shot, and the effect is very good!

The lineup of the Grizzlies is very easy to play the transition between offense and defense, and the Spurs change defense is in place, but Sun Ce's ball-holding point is too buggy.

In another offense, Popovich called a timeout after Sun Ce turned to attract Richard Jefferson to jump and then turned and broke through to the basket causing Duncan to foul!
