If Kobe Bryant scored directly, Sun Ce could accept it, but the Lakers were ready to let Paul organize the offense at the beginning, and Paul had to pick him to play......

This is excessive.

So, when it came to the Grizzlies' offense, Sun Ce advanced to the front court and faced Kobe's defense, and took the initiative to find Mr. Tony to block and dismantle, because of Tony Allen, who was defended by Paul.

Indeed, Paul switched defenses, but Kobe ignored Tony Allen and directly sandwiched Sun Ce on the right side of the three-second zone with Paul!

Fortunately, Sun Ce reacted quickly and had a wide field of vision, so he quickly grabbed the ball and passed it to Randolph, who ran to the left side of the free throw line on the left side of the three-second zone, and passed the ball over, Randolph received the ball, Gasol and Brand changed their defenses and expanded, Randolph passed to Gasol Jr. under the basket, and Gasol Jr. raised high and hit Brand on the head for an easy layup.

The Lakers' lineup, the interior defense is really bad, Big Gasol has A-level first-class defense, very good, but his defensive functions are similar to Gasol Jr., they are all guarding the basket, he is not Duncan and Garnett's type of person who can move quickly between the basket and the middle distance, and Gasol Jr. can't do S-level defense, let alone Big Gasol.

Big Gasol expanded out to defend against Randolph and could defend it very well, Big Gasol is one of the few players who can restrain Randolph one-on-one, but Brand's defense can't even prevent Gasol Jr. from receiving the ball in the low post.

It's just that on Sun Ce's side, his teammates scored, he was happy, and Gasol Jr. actually had a scoring advantage at this point, which is very good, it's good news.

But...... He was actually directly caught by Paul and Kobe!

This contrast between the offensive and defensive ends, the offensive end picks his grandson to play, and the defensive end is sandwiched...... Sun Ce didn't know if the other party looked down on him or looked down on him?

Back in the backcourt, Sun Ce was patted by Paul George and pointed to Ci Shiping, who was pulled to the bottom line, Sun Ce knew that he was disgusted by the blocking and dismantling, but he couldn't refute it, so he could only run to Mr. World Peace, the weakest link of the opponent's attack, with a stubborn face.

However, there are some things that cannot be escaped......

Sun Ce kept up with Ci Shiping, and saw Paul who advanced to the front court beckoning to him, Ci Shiping pulled out to block Paul for him!

dwarf cannon!

Sun Ce can only follow Ci Shiping to expand out, although Paul's explosiveness and bounce have been greatly affected by two major injuries, but the explosion acceleration is still top-level, a little faster than Sun Ce's A-level burst acceleration, Sun Ce moved sideways in advance, changed the defense to Paul, Tony Allen also directly ignored Artest, retreated, and after Sun Ce was shaken off by Paul's lateral shift, he immediately pinched Paul.

At the same time, the big Gasol on the inside line pulled away from the right baseline and pulled Gasol Jr. out of the basket, Artest cut in from the middle, Brand ran to the left of the free throw line, and Randolph, who followed Brand out, saw Artest cut inside and could only block it.

Paul passed to the left of the free-throw line just as he was about to be caught in the middle of the line, and Brand received the ball and made a mid-range jumper......

Miss!

Randolph blocked Artest, Brand's shot bounced off the back edge of his shot, and Sunce picked up the rebound.

Sun Ce won the rebound and was just about to fight back, when he saw a figure jumping over, he hurriedly raised the ball, and sure enough, it was the positive Paul!

The rest of the Lakers took the opportunity to retreat, and Paul's rush stopped Sun Ce's counterattack.

Protecting the ball and slowly advancing, Sun Ce felt that the opponent's attack was completely different from the encounter at the beginning of the season, it was too smooth! While it may not seem like Paul's 8 assists per game is not much different from Sessions' 6.9 assists per game at the start of the season, the Lakers' offense feels completely different! This is the essential difference between a playmaking attack and a passing assist.

The pertinence of the blocking and pick-and-roll selection on the offensive end, the purpose of the pass, and the tacit understanding of teammates...... There has been a significant improvement in all aspects!

In just two rounds, Sun Ce felt that Paul's role in the Lakers' tactics was much stronger than Kobe's!

In other words, the feeling to Sun Ce is that Kobe and Paul lead a team with no other stars alone, and Paul is stronger than Kobe, even the Kobe Bryant who Sun Ce saw in 2010 who was still in his prime, could not make a team's offense so smooth like Paul.

Although Brand didn't score the goal just now, this attack was too beautiful.

Sun Ce advanced to the frontcourt, Sun Ce saw that Paul and Kobe Bryant had a tendency to pinch him again, although Kobe's defense was not as good as the previous two years, it was still a second-defense level, one of the four best defensive guards, Paul may be stronger.

If the teammate in the backcourt is Nash...... But Nash can't prevent it!

Sun Ce's breakthrough was not easy to get past Kobe, and he chose to find a block, Randolph pulled out to block Kobe Bryant's left side, Sun Ce took the opportunity to break through, this time Da Gasol did not change the defense and expanded, Brandra came out, Sun Ce easily got rid of Brand after blocking and dismantling...... Paul is plugged up again!

Sun Ce couldn't find an opportunity to accelerate the change of direction or mid-range step-by-step jumper in the middle of the march under Paul's defense, and the opponent's defensive footsteps were excellent, and Sun Ce rushed all the way to the baseline and made a mid-range hook shot......

The ball hits the basket, bounces around, and falls into the frame!

It's so close to going in, Sun Ce saw the ball go in and lifted his pants, fortunately, the belt of his pants was tight enough before the game, there were too many small movements of this cannon brother, when Sun Ce was stuck to Paul's jumping hook, Paul actually pulled his pants!

Sun Ce, who ran back to the backcourt, had a headache, these two are the first point guard and the first quarterback! The two of them stared at him infinitely!

In the first two goals, their Grizzlies scored goals, and the result was not bad, but it was very different from what was expected, that is, it was uncomfortable.

On the contrary, on the Lakers' side, it can be seen that there are adjustments in details in just two offenses, and the changes on the defensive end are also obvious.

Slowly, after a few rounds, the Grizzlies began to fall into the disadvantage!

Their Grizzlies defense is better than the Lakers, much better, but they can't stand up to their 4 to 5 on the offensive end, Tony Allen doesn't look at him on the offensive end almost no ball, but he actually has a lot of shots, after all, he is always ignored by the opponent on the offensive end when he plays, so he really averages 4.8 shots per game, and the shooting rate is very high, 52% shooting, 6.8 points per game.

Among them, he averaged about 3 catches per game, and there were offensive rebounds when he was overlooked, averaging 1.9 offensive rebounds out of 3.1 boards per game.

These don't show up in the usual game, but it's important because he's the most overlooked, so there's always a good shot opportunity, and he takes it, and he can give the Grizzlies 5-8 points per game.

But today, Tony Allen didn't start the game by a goal or two like he usually started with, and it was clear for the Grizzlies that it had an impact on their offensive end.

On the Lakers' side, in the face of Sun Ce's breakthrough to the bottom line or Gasol Jr. borrowing the opponent to change the defense in the low post and play high, most of the time he couldn't prevent it, and he couldn't get in to see the feel of Sun Ce and Gasol Jr.

But against the Grizzlies, Randolph, Tony Allen, Paul George is extremely well defended!

And Tony Allen, who scored 13 points against the Lakers last time, was locked up today! His receiving route is always cut off, and other teams don't pay attention to Tony Allen's six or seven points, but Lakers head coach Mike Brown does! This is an excellent defensive assistant coach who has allowed the Cavaliers to play the strongest defense in the league, with Paul, Kobe, and Pau Gasol, Mike Brown doesn't care about the offensive end, so the defense is extremely targeted, and Mike Brown's defensive achievements are not inferior to Dave Jogel and Coach Hollins on the Grizzlies' side, and they are even stronger.

In the second half of the first quarter, the Grizzlies replaced Nash and combined with Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Yi Jianlian to play offense.

The Lakers also replaced Pau Gasol, and the lineup of Paul, Kobe, Capono, Artest, and Odom came on the court to play offense.

During this time, the Grizzlies and the Lakers competed, but they didn't play an advantage, and the positional battle phase was exploded!

After the first quarter, the Grizzlies trailed the Lakers by 4 points 24-28 and entered the intermission.

……

In the first quarter, Sun Ce played full, with 8 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists on 3-of-5 shooting, no blocks, most of the opponents are mainly shooting, layups, blocks, and high shots are easy to be blocked, and shots are rarely blocked.

Looking at the opponent, Paul played 12 minutes in the first quarter and scored 4 points and 4 assists, Kobe Bryant quietly scored a game-high 10 points by catching and shooting, and Kobe Bryant only played 9 minutes in the first quarter, and the two combined 14 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists.

And his grandson and Nash combined for 10 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists.

The Lakers seem to have become a team with a strong offense and okay defense, on the defensive end, the backcourt defense is so strong that it explodes, two quasi-top-level defensive masters, and Paul can predict that he will return to the top defense, and the interior is Gasol...... Barely getting the defense to a good level, the overall defense is not bad.

And on the offensive end, it is extremely strong!

The main reason is that I didn't expect Paul to play the full first quarter, and it doesn't seem to be a problem, unlike Nash who really needs to compress his playing time, Paul's playing time is less in the previous 10 games and the reason why he doesn't play back-to-back, Sun Ce also understands, it's purely because the Lakers are afraid that Paul will be injured.

But today, even Kobe Bryant was replaced by Blake in the 9th minute of the first quarter, and Paul is still playing, proving that after a long and patient recuperation phase, rehabilitation phase, and recovery training phase, Paul has recovered! And the style of play is well adjusted, except that the shooting has not fully recovered, as the core outside is no longer a problem.

And, Paul with Kobe, Kapono, Josh McRoberts, Odom; When Blake, Capono, Odom, and Jordan Hill played the two sets of lineups, the performance was not lost to Nash!
