For the Lakers, the trouble is not that they can't be prevented. Of course, that's also very troublesome. There is nothing we can do about it. Sun Ce broke out when he had a disagreement. Their major core members were already used to it.

What’s even more troublesome is that their offensive pressure is getting stronger and stronger!

Sun Ce's defense is getting better and better!

It is not very rare to see a player's progress in the game, but it seems that he is improving in the game, the better he plays.

This scene is a bit desperate!

Sun Ce seemed to have gradually found the opportunity to shrink his defense, and with better skills in medium and close range, he grasped the opportunity to interfere with the pass and receiving route.

James' pick-and-roll breakouts became more and more difficult. As he played, he began to passively strengthen his personal score. Leonard and Kobe gradually made more singles.

It was fine at the beginning, but in the second half of the second quarter, Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Aldridge and Gobert's lineups began to fail to keep up.

After the first half, Sun Ce scored 9 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks in a single quarter. The Grizzlies scored 28-22 in a single quarter. The Grizzlies successfully widened the gap to 5 before the end of the half.

With the above points, 49 to 42, the Grizzlies led the Lakers to 7 points and entered the halftime break!

...

Back in the lounge, the head coaches of both teams were actively adjusting. Sun Ce played very well. He scored 20 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 blocks and 1 steal. He scored 4 times in the second quarter.

With the assist, Sun Ce made no mistake in one mistake! This is the most terrifying thing!

Sun Ce's style of playing with all his strength, even this season has started, the Lakers, who are playing with all their strength when the players are on the court, are a little confused. They are not trying to do their best! Sun Ce is playing with the game

It seems that even though Old Bickstaff has worked in the NBA for so many years, he has only seen two people playing basketball like this.

Iverson and Kobe at their peak!

They thought they were no longer worthy of the Grizzlies in this regard, but compared with Sun Ce... it was really difficult!

The worst thing is Leonard. Sun Ce blocked four shots in the second quarter, twice for Leonard. Both times Leonard cut into the basket while Sun Ce contracted and the shooting space was cut off again.

When looking for a chance to catch the ball, Sun Ce was taken in after receiving the ball.

Just like Leonard has a stable mentality, he is like nothing else. He can defend as much as he should. He also actively reduces the chances of receiving the ball to cut into the ball and maintains the threat. He does not feel frustrated or overly active as other young players.

Only by proving that he has become a random fight can the Lakers ensure the minimum offensive firepower.

In fact, their Lakers have done a good job in defense, but Sun Ce relies on his personal ability to score 9 points in a single quarter and also sent 4 assists. If Sun Ce just scored like in the first quarter, the Lakers are really not afraid.

What I am afraid of is that Sun Ce connects the entire Grizzlies' offense.

But when you are afraid of it, you can't limit Sun Ce's attack at low posts, so you can only attack in advance. Sun Ce was assigned to get 4 assists. Now the Lakers are in a very passive state!

There is a good news that Kobe only played 11 minutes in the first half. Although Kobe usually only played 25 to 29 minutes, Kobe can play more than 30 minutes in the key game.

The Lakers set their goal in the third quarter!

On the other hand, the Grizzlies also focused on the third quarter, not to defeat the Lakers in one fell swoop. Sun Ce's performance of 4 times 4 in the second quarter failed to defeat the Lakers. Coach Hollins is no longer the same.

The rookie coach is the coach of the two-time champion. I know that I can’t be anxious at this time. The other party is waiting for them to be anxious. I demand stability in the third quarter!

...

After returning from the break, the Grizzlies sent a combination of Sun Ce, Livingston, Klay Thompson, Yi Jianlian and Gobert.

On the Lakers, Kobe took a break first, and then he played, and he basically had to play all the remaining time.

Old Bickstaff was also bold and sent a combination of James, JR Smith, Nick Young, Ed Davis and Nene to the court.

If a nerve knife is not enough, then another one will be done!

James was afraid of these two nerve knives, but sometimes they were really amazing. In this situation, when you meet a player like Sun Ce and a team like the Grizzlies, you can only bet on it.

It's right.

The third quarter started, the Grizzlies attacked first, watching Gobert go to the left three-second zone to keep the ball high and hit the ball high, threatening to restrain Nene, watching Yi Jianlian go to the right bottom corner to open up space to respond, and watch Sun Ce

Running to the low post, James could only follow him to the low post. He didn't know which two people the Grizzlies were talking about.

Livingston advanced to the frontcourt and then threw it to Sun Ce after the expiration of the forward, and then came to the top corner of the left side of the free throw line. Klay Thompson pulled the weak side line open.

Sun Ce received the ball, and JR Smith went up to help James attack Sun Ce. Leonard could not even defend, and James was likely to not defend. This Lakers player can admit that Leonard was their team and even the entire league.

The best player, because James has been building momentum for Leonard to compete for the best defensive player.

Sun Ce passed the ball to Livingston, and Livingston received the ball and made a mid-range shot... It was too stable! It was so stable to hand over the mid-range shot with such a fixed position to Livingston!

9 points are different!

But immediately, James just sent the ball to JR Smith and let JR Smith get it away, and then JR Smith regarded James as Pippen. He went to the frontcourt to shoot at Livingston's three-pointer... and hit!

45-51, the Lakers narrowed the gap to 6 points!

This goal made Coach Hollins glad that he was not in a hurry to widen the gap in one fell swoop and replace it with a stable lineup.

There seems to be no shortage of any type of players on the Lakers, and there are 2.5 Nervous Knifes!

Kobe's 0.5 nerve knife on the bench is not counted, but he also has JR-Smith and Nick Young. Which of these two brothers will be shot, it will be very difficult for the opponent.

The Grizzlies play steadily and steadily, using Sun Ce as the starting point of the offensive, Livingston as the end point, and the triangular offensive style of the connection point composed of Klay Thompson, Gobert and Yi Jianlian is very stable, taking advantage of the opponent's lineup to defend the front line.

Not that good, I didn’t do well to cut off the pass route, and I was playing with the Lakers!

This was beyond the expectations of the fans on the scene. I thought the Grizzlies would start the defensive battle at 7 points ahead and consume the Lakers, but I didn't expect the Grizzlies to play steadily in the position and offense.

This is something the Lakers did not expect. If the Grizzlies play position and fight defense and beat rhythm, and encounter jr Smith or Nick Young, the Grizzlies will fall into a passive position because the goals of these two people ignore the defense!

In turn, this also gave Sun Ce a chance!

Sun Ce played again in the third quarter, and his teammates were rotated more. Klay Thompson and Paul George took turns. Klay Thompson went to Livingston, Paul George went to Carter; in terms of inside rotation

Given Sun Ce's good defensive performance in the first half, Yi Jianlian played in the third quarter, and his space restraint ability was the best in the inside of the Grizzlies. Gobert and Aldridge took turns to guard the inside.

Sun Ce's 11 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal in the third quarter. The Lakers can only rely on 2.5 nerve knifes to float on the outside, which means that the Lakers' third quarter feels from jr-Smith

If you bring it up, otherwise the Lakers' offense would collapse with Sun Ce's outrageous close range and defensive ability tonight.

It can be said that Old Bickstaff was right this time.

After the third quarter, the Lakers stubbornly maintained the score difference within 10 points. The two teams scored 28-26. The Grizzlies led the Lakers 77-68 to 9 points and entered the break between the quarters!

With 31 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists, 8 blocks and 2 steals in the third quarter, he was only 9 points ahead, and Sun Ce played a bit explosively.

The Lakers' defense is really good. Although the Grizzlies scored 77 points in the third quarter, it was him, Sun, who tried his best. He had 3 minutes left in the third quarter and put the physical potion on the body to ensure that there was no physical strength.

Only when the decline is achieved.

The point is that their team worked too hard on the defensive end, and the offensive focus was really on him, Mr. Sun.

The Lakers can guarantee 26 points in the third quarter, relying on 5 three-pointers in a single quarter, two with jr Smith, one Nick Young, and two with Kobe.

These 2.5 nerve knifes supported the Lakers' offense in the third quarter. With James and Leonard being strictly guarded, they really rely on three people.

But now... Sun Ce took a break in the third quarter and changed into a clean jersey. After using a hot towel to wipe the sweat, Sun Ce couldn't wait to play!

If they really relied on super mid- and close defense in the third quarter and 28 points led by Sun, he might have to bring a four-double to the court.

I'm still missing 2 assists and 2 blocks... I'm sorry for myself if I don't fight for it!

...

Sun Ce wants to win good data, and wants to win the game, and the Lakers also want to win, but they don’t have much confidence in preventing Sun Ce from getting good data, and even when they set up their tactics, they didn’t.

Prepare towards that direction.

Since Sun Ce's second grade, he has to win a four-double every season. Kobe and James are more helpless about this. It seems that it is their turn this year... As for why it is again, this is a long story...

It is impossible not to go to attack in order not to let Sun Ce get assists. Sun Ce is the kind of player who is more crazy than Kobe at the peak. The NBA history score record for three quarters is Sun Ce!

Winning is the most important thing. Facing the Lakers who have performed like this, they have been able to survive until now. They think Sun Ce is always tired! There will always be a decline!

Otherwise it would be unreasonable!

Although players like Sun Ce, Jordan, Magician, Chamberlain, etc. seem to be in no way rational for them, they still have to look forward to it.

Moreover, regardless of Sun Ce's data, the Lakers still want to minimize being blocked by Sun Ce.
