1489. Distinctive Mamba Players (Part 1)
Paul George did not try to show himself because he was more valued.
Everyone is unique. Paul George has a strong Mamba heart, McGrady talent, and a unique personal personality.
He is not the kind of player who ignores his own opportunities when he has the opportunity. He has the desire of Mamba players to keep getting stronger, and the mentality of self-knowledge and sacrifice.
What he wants is respect, the respect of his teammates and the team.
Just like him in the original time and space, because the Lakers are unwilling to pay for young players to trade him, they want to get free and sign him naked, and choose to reject the team he liked since childhood; instead because the Thunder are willing to trade chips with him to choose
When he was partnering with Westbrook, he reduced his chances of holding the ball as a pitcher, because of Leonard's respect and the Clippers' willingness to use a large number of chip trades to get him, and he was willing to reduce his playing time and sacrifice data...
Here, when the Grizzlies were preparing to trade him, they gave him enough respect and gave him full choices, and could choose the next house within a reasonable range; when choosing to keep him, they did not care whether the transaction value fell at all.
The reason is because I believe in his strength.
Of course, more importantly, Sun Ce is willing to give up the ball to him.
Feeling respect and trust, Paul George became more calmer. He should give the ball to Sun Ce. At this stage, Paul George knows very well who is the strongest in the team.
On the other hand, for Sun Ce and the coaching staff, Paul George's choice was something they had unexpectedly excited about but were very excited about.
Paul George's ball control and passes have improved a lot this season. He is willing to break through to the inside when dealing with some opponents, but he is not sticky to the ball and is willing to share the ball. This is undoubtedly a huge benefit for the team.
.
However, Sun Ce and Coach Hollins both think that it remains to be seen. People's hearts are the most difficult to figure out, and people's hearts cannot be easily tested.
...
The Grizzlies replaced the combination of Sun Ce, Beverly, Klay Thompson, Yi Jianlian and Randolph.
Paul George sat down and was ready to start the second quarter to lead the next rotation.
When everyone makes a choice, there are many reasons. For example, Paul George knows that he is the core in some rotation lines, and when Sun Ce needs to slow down on the offensive end, he is the first candidate main attacking point on the outside.
, Therefore, when he partnered with Sun Ce, he was more willing to assist Sun Ce with all his strength.
On the Spurs side, Parker, Ginobili, Danny Green, Dior and Split played.
Both Guy and Duncan went down?
Sun Ce looked at the lineup on the other side and learned about the Spurs' stricter playing time allocation for Duncan in the new season.
After the timeout, the Grizzlies came back from the frontcourt. After receiving a serve from Klay Thompson, Sun Ce took advantage of Yi Jianlian to break through with the pick-and-roll. When he encountered a cross-shot from Dior and Danny Green, he immediately passed it back to Yi Jianlian on the left side of the top arc.
Yi Jianlian has long developed the habit of throwing when he has the opportunity, and has made a decisive three-pointer when receiving the ball... In the first official game of the new season, Yi Jianlian made a three-pointer when he made it!
17-18, the Grizzlies tied the score tightly with their offense.
However, looking back, Ginobili still attracted Randolph's defensive attention at the basket when he failed to pass Sun Ce by changing direction. Ginobili relied on Sun Ce's low hand to pass the ball and threw it to S.
Pritt, the latter took a cake and scored two points.
Too difficult!
I can't defend myself at all under the basket!
Gasol Jr. can't take back his lineup when facing the Spurs' flexible lineup. He can pick-and-roll the outside and jump into the inside or mid-range jump shot after defending the basket.
Randolph has enough speed to play center, but he has a bad awareness. With Larry Sanders there, he can make up for this, but Larry Sanders was suspended for 5 games!
As for Gobert, he has a defensive talent. The Grizzlies regard him as the next Hibert, but even Hibert, who was selected in the middle of the first round of the 2008 draft year, was always in the rookie season.
As for playing soybean, everything about Gobert is too rough, especially since there is no offensive method at all and has not learned to eat cake. You can see that it is a side effect when facing a better team in the inside line in the preseason.
Whether it is Randolph with Gasol Jr. or Yi Jianlian with Randolph, they have entered the mode of poking ten thousand people.
Fortunately, the old teammates on the offensive end cooperated very well last season. The point is that Yi Jianlian and Beverly scored a three-pointer one after another, forcing the Spurs to expand the defense.
Although the Spurs are one of the best teams to switch defenses from the outside and chase defense, they do not have Duncan and Guy, and the mid-to-close defense is average. Even if Split can rely on his own ball to attack and rebound.
Singles at low positions cannot limit Sun Ce and Yi Jianlian to take close shots.
The score difference has been bitten by the Grizzlies within 5 points. After the first quarter, the Grizzlies fell behind by 28 to 32 and entered the break.
...
He scored 32 points in a single quarter but had only 4 points in the lead. If it was last season, Popovich would not accept it, or even more difficult to accept it when facing the Grizzlies.
However, this season, Popovich has been much calmer and no longer yells on the sidelines with a flushing face when he is not going well like before. He does not replace Guy and Duncan in advance and just fight like that.
Because Popovich judged it from the lineup, the opponent could not defend himself inside!
The defense of a team is particularly important. Even the Heat, which did not get Nene's empty inside line back then, did not give up the defense of the inside line, but instead made James gain weight to heavier than most centers.
Duncan, Gasol, Howard and others fought at the basket.
The Spurs players also gave Popovich positive feedback. Dior scored 3 points and 2 assists in the first quarter after more than 5 minutes. It was so sarcastic!
With Parker's cutting threat, Danny Green's three-pointer restraint, Ginobili launched an attack, Split took the cake, although it was not as fierce as Guy and Duncan's offensive firepower, but it still played against the Grizzlies
A draw was played.
On the other hand, Coach Hollins' situation is not so good.
If it was last year, if the Spurs scored 32 points in the first quarter, it would definitely be good news if the Grizzlies scored 28 points.
But that is based on the team's ability to change the rhythm by defensively.
But judging from the first quarter, facing the Spurs' team attack, they just have outside defense not enough!
It’s not that they can defend the Spurs’ outside line with an outside line defense, and the defense is a whole!
Another point is that the Spurs are not the strongest lineup in the first quarter or the strongest core lineup to drive the first quarter, but can still maintain such a high level even though Guy and Duncan have only played half a quarter.
Chapter completed!
