1184. My teammates are friendlier than yours (Part 2
Stephenson is extremely strong for a defender, is faster than Hayward, has defensive awareness, and has good footwork. Sun Ce did not despise him at all.
A player like Stephenson is too annoying to opponents, but his team is very lucky to have such a defender.
Sun Ce has players like Beverley and Larry Sanders, and he quite likes Stephenson's character.
Faced with Stephenson's jealous trash talk, Sun Ce said loudly: "You are right, my teammates are much friendlier than your teammates, do you think so too?"
This is too obvious to sow discord! The Pacers players were extremely angry.
But Stephenson didn't hear it. Just as he was about to say something, Sun Ce saw his teammates getting into position and looked for Randolph to pick and roll!
The one who extended out to defend was not David West or Hibbert, but Hayward who switched defenses with David West!
Stephenson defended the three-pointer, Hayward defended Sun Ce's mid-range shot and the baseline shot, and let Randolph's mid-range shot pass. Randolph immediately cut in from the middle when he saw this, and Sun Ce rushed all the way to the right sideline of the three-second zone, facing the defender.
Hook shot...
Missed!
However, Sun Ce and Randolph entered the three-second zone, Hibbert took a step forward, and Larry Sanders at the bottom line scored two points with a dunk!
It’s so difficult!
Sun Ce was ready to play the entire game, but the opponent's defense was too strong.
Facing Hibbert, Randolph couldn't hit in the low post. When the mid-range shot was inaccurate, Randolph relied on being the league's best offensive rebounder in the past two seasons to create a threat to Hibbert and let the opponent expand.
Only after taking a step forward did Larry Sanders make a back-up dunk this time.
The opponent's outside defense changes quickly, and there is an inside line like Hibbert...
Then go on defense!
Sun Ce returned to the backcourt, Darren Collison advanced to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Stephenson.
This time it was Sun Ce's turn to go up and spray: "Your shooting just now was really great, do it again..."
"I think you are the best player on your team. If you change to another team, you will be able to be the core and get a higher salary..."
Normal people could tell that Sun Ce was sarcastic, but Stephenson didn't. He really started to show off his skills.
Facing Sun Ce, Stephenson made a lateral three-pointer after dribbling continuously...
Stephenson is strong in breakthroughs, and after being prepared for Sun Ce's ability to move laterally and defend at the top level, he used his body to be strong enough to withstand James' breakthrough, but Sun Ce couldn't guard him.
But if Stephenson wants to play a single jump shot, Sun Ce, who is also prepared, should not be too relaxed in defense!
Stephenson gave up!
Randolph alertly guarded the rebound, threw it to Paul George, and counterattacked!
Paul George passed to Jimmy Butler during the counterattack, and Jimmy Butler hung the basket. Sun Ce received the ball in the low post area within the three-second zone, and the overlord dunk level 2 was triggered!
Hayward and Darren Collison retreated to the basket first. Facing Sun Ce who was catching the ball under the basket, they were desperate. Sun Ce burst through Hayward and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!
Sun Ce catches the ball and plays singles under the basket. Except for a few players such as James, no outside player can stop him!
After dunking, Sun Ce passed Stephenson on the way back. Sun Ce seemed to be muttering to himself: "That's wrong, why didn't that guy make the shot with his technique? Did I make a mistake?"
This "murmur" happened to be heard clearly by Stephenson, and Sun Ce even deliberately slowed down...
Against different opponents, the content of trash talk will naturally be different. Sun Ce knows that for Stephenson, humiliation and ridicule are useless. This guy was selected with the 10th overall pick in the second round and spent most of his first and second grade sitting on the bench.
, played a total of 54 games in two years, and he can still play in the third grade, so his mental quality will not be bad.
Speaking of provocation and ridicule, this guy might do something to disgust you, such as blowing on your ears or touching your butt.
But this guy is easy to fall for. He can open a dyeing shop with some color, so he has to praise him. Stephenson played a good ball, and Sun Ce, as a defender, praised Stephenson to death; Stephenson didn't play well.
Just express doubts, but don't say anything unpleasant to stimulate this guy's heart.
The Pacers' possession of the ball is very scattered. The three starting perimeter players all average more than 3 assists per game. If Stephenson has to hold the ball, no one else will stop him.
But Stephenson started playing stubborn singles tonight!
In addition to the magic ball in the first ball, he shot 1 of 4 in the subsequent shots! The rest of the Pacers' offense was also affected, which is not good in the first place. There is another person who wants to compete with the opponent when he is not as strong as his opponent.
Sun Ce singled out.
And if Sun Ce votes, Stephenson will definitely vote; if Sun Ce doesn’t vote, Stephenson will still vote if he talks trash...
In the first half of the first quarter, the Grizzlies relied on their light lineup and kept counterattacking. Although because of the opponent's good defensive awareness and fast speed, the Grizzlies did not succeed in counterattacks many times.
Not great either, only 12 points were scored in the first half, but the Pacers only scored 8 points!
Sun Ce made 2 of 5 shots and 2 of 2 free throws in the first half of the quarter. Although he was limited by the opponent's defense and did not take three-point shots, he still scored 6 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block. The block was shot by Stephenson and was blocked by Randolph.
While staying, he turned around and shot a jump shot, but Sun Ce fanned him away!
As the Pacers called a timeout, the Grizzlies entered the official timeout with a 4-point lead.
Well played in half a quarter!
They were unable to break through the opponent's position and defense, and their counterattacks were not very good. However, the Grizzlies' offensive capabilities were still stronger than their opponents, giving them a slight advantage.
Nash brought Klay Thompson, Sun Ce, Yi Jianlian, and Lopez up to fight and bomb.
Seeing Darren Collison score 2 points, Hayward did not score in the first half of the quarter; Hibbert had 2 rebounds in the half and Stephenson had 1 rebound in the half.
Darren Collison was replaced by DJ Augustin, Hibbert was replaced by Mahinmi, and Stephenson was replaced by Gerald Green.
The current score is currently 4 points higher than Darren Collison and Hayward combined, and the rebounding is currently equal to Hibbert and Stephenson combined. Sun Ce feels that the chance of winning is much greater!
He played very hard in this half of the quarter and is ready to continue to work hard next!
…
After the timeout, the Grizzlies tried to speed up the game but failed!
On the Pacers side, DJ Augustin, Gerald Green, Hayward, David West, and Mahinmi's lineup is much faster than the starting lineup. Pacers coach Vog
I never thought about playing fast break. I sent this lineup not to counterattack with the Grizzlies, but to use speed to control the rhythm!
Chapter completed!
