Kobe Bryant was stunned by Sun Ce who was beaten away and bombarded. Even though I have seen it several times, I still find it amazing.

This rotation of the Grizzlies is suitable for running and gunning, but Sun Ce's own rebounding and counterattack look more and more like Kidd... Forget it, Sun Ce can still rush to the front and serve as an impact arrow!

Moreover, when the Lakers retreated but did not fall into a good defensive formation, Sun Ce could seize good passing opportunities during the transition between offense and defense. He did not necessarily need to get assists, but he could sort out the offense well.

Because Sun Ce's counterattack and first pass were heavily guarded, the faster opponent chased him first, cutting off the passing routes between him and his teammates who were on the fast break on both sides. Therefore, during the 6-minute bombardment, Sun Ce only had two

assists.

But this combination has formed a tacit understanding, and there is another passing point, which is Yi Jianlian.

Sun Ce first used the restraint of himself and his teammates to create opportunities for Yi Jianlian to pass the ball after receiving the ball. Yi Jianlian also took the initiative to learn this aspect. Since the Lakers' defense today is very targeted, the Lakers hope to contain the Grizzlies.

The team's counterattack was run-and-gun, but instead gave Yi Jianlian two assists and Paul George a chance to get one assist.

Sun Ce took Shuangdi and Morrow with him during this half of the quarter, and Paul George went crazy!

Taking advantage of Kobe's absence, the Grizzlies showed their feelings. After the Lakers replaced Kobe in the 10th minute of the second quarter, the Grizzlies also played three fast breaks in the last two minutes, and two of them

After scoring 3 points, Sun Ce counterattacked and dunked, and Paul George used his teammates to contain him and hit a chasing three-pointer with a wide gap.

The Grizzlies went on a 21-12 run in the first half of the quarter! At the end of the half, the Grizzlies led by 1 point, 61-60!

This made Kobe Bryant once again amazed by Sun Ce's performance. Sun Ce did so beautifully.

In 13 minutes, he made 5 of 6 shots, scored 11 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block!

And Sun Ce's aura of running and gunning is clearly displayed! In Kobe's view, Sun Ce should play this kind of brisk offense. Even if he needs to strengthen his defense, he should focus on brisk offense.

In Kobe's eyes, Sun Ce is like an immature magician. Kobe has never seen what an immature magician looks like. Magic only played in college for two years and became the No. 1 pick in 1979. Even if he had been in 1978

He has only played one year in college and is still the favorite to be the No. 1 pick, but Sun Ce's performance this season can be compared with Magic in his rookie year.

As for Sun Ce’s team friendship, Magic has had Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as his teammate since his rookie year. This is not a reason. Sun Ce can utilize the abilities of his teammates. This is talent! As Sun Ce’s personal ability becomes stronger and stronger, his talent in this area will increase.

It is becoming more and more obvious.

In the second half of the second quarter, Zen Master stared at Sun Ce with his eyes wide open. Thinking that his team's rhythm was actually taken away by the Grizzlies' running and gunning in the last two minutes, he was surprised that he was overtaken in one fell swoop. He must play well in the second half.

Just adjust...

…

The visiting team's locker room is full of energy!

Watching Jordan helping Yi Jianlian fix his hair and shaving the sideburns to be symmetrical; watching Conley go to the bathroom to sort out his thoughts and plan how to play in the second half; watching Sun Ce leaning on the erected massage table, he brought it himself

The team's masseur was giving him a massage. The massage studio James helped Sun Ce open in Memphis was about to start business. It would open just after the All-Star weekend...; I saw Randolph writing lyrics...

The players spent the halftime break with a relatively relaxed attitude and adjusted their emotions in their own way. Coach Hollins was very satisfied.

His overall tactical strategy today was very successful, at least in the first half.

Although the process was not exactly the same as he imagined, it was almost different. For example, he expected that they would not play so well when they were stronger, but he persevered and persisted until the run-and-gun stage where he thought he would be clinging to the score.

, as a result, the run-and-gun phase became a time to chase points, and the score was overtaken...

Anyway, no matter what the process was, the goal was achieved! And during the official timeout in the second quarter, Coach Hollins gritted his teeth and put on a run-and-gun lineup just to stick to his strategy. Unexpectedly, he actually achieved the goal and exceeded it.

I thought it would be amazing to narrow the point difference, but who knew we could overtake it.

This feeling is very special to Coach Hollins. This time he truly felt the joy of coaching by Zen Master.

The feeling of planning a goal, not changing it, persevering, and finally succeeding is much better than racking your brains and constantly adjusting! He finally knows the joy of the Zen master's pretense.

It’s just that the third quarter is the highlight!

The Lakers have been the strongest team in the third quarter in the past two seasons. Especially last season, the Lakers' net score in the third quarter was shockingly high. They often fell behind by a big margin in the first half last season.

Chasing points like crazy, the Lakers averaged a terrible 22.3 points per game in the third quarter last season, the lowest in the league. There were 9 brutal defensive performances that prevented opponents from scoring less than 15 points in the third quarter, and then failed in the fourth quarter.

If they can defeat the opponent, they will kill it. If they cannot defeat it, they will knock it down. And often they defeat the opponent. Kobe alone had 6 game-winners last season.

This season, the Lakers' rotation lineup has become stronger. They can rotate up to 9 people. Unlike last season, when they often played in and out of games, they became a stable 6-man lineup. There were far fewer cases of falling behind by a big score at halftime, but in the third

The performance is still one of the best teams.

Whether you can hold it in the third quarter is the key!

As for the fourth quarter, if the third quarter can be held, the Grizzlies will be in an advantage in the fourth quarter. If they can take the lead after three quarters, the Grizzlies will become very stable in the fourth quarter.

The biggest problem is Kobe...

Although Kobe only played two minutes in the second quarter without scoring a single point, and only got one assist in connection with Gasol once, Kobe already had 20 points and 3 assists in the half!

Coach Hollins did not express these concerns because he did not want to affect the good mentality of the players.

While feeling the joy of Master Zen's coaching style, Coach Hollins also understood that Master Zen was not as relaxed as he seemed to be there, but instead put the pressure on himself, allowing the team members to deal with crises.

You can still maintain confidence despite the situation.

Of course, if you win, the final happiness will be doubled! And the Lakers keep winning, so Zen Master is always happy and enjoys this kind of pressure.

This is a coaching philosophy and a method, not a tactical system and ability.

Master Jackson's pretense will not affect his coaching. Coach Hollins learned to pretend and changed his coaching ideas, but it did not change the team's style of play and system...

With seven or eight minutes left in the intermission, Coach Hollins called the players together and made adjustments based on the tactics discussed before the game and based on the performance of the Lakers and his own side in the first half.

The plan is arranged, arranged according to the performance of the players, the performance of the opponent's players...

…

The halftime break is almost over, and players from both teams return to the court.

Sun Ce looked at the Lakers players who entered the court later and felt that the momentum on the other side was different!

Generally speaking, the Lakers were not completely focused in the first half. Kobe and Bynum did their best. Kobe wanted to have fun with Sun Ce, but Bynum was specially arranged by Zen Master to give him half a game in every game.

The opportunity to lead a team alone during a session or session.

But in the third quarter, which was the "Lakers time" advocated by fans and media last season, the fighting spirit revealed by the Lakers players was very different from the first half!

The last time he played against the Lakers this season, Sun Ce had not felt the same feeling as the Lakers, because the last time they played against the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies had not experienced the middle of the season. Even if the Grizzlies started the season with a winning streak,

Ranked first in the league, it is not really a strong team in the eyes of the top teams. It can only be said that they do not want to encounter the Grizzlies with four towers in the playoffs.

But the Grizzlies only lost two games in January! The Lakers began to face the Grizzlies and treat them as a strong enemy.

As for last season...none of the top teams took the Grizzlies seriously.

Now the Lakers no longer just think that the Grizzlies are in trouble in the playoffs and don't want to meet the Grizzlies, but they actually feel a threat!

The second half of the game started immediately, with the two teams taking the stage in the second half.

For the Lakers, the combination of Fisher, Shannon Brown, Kobe, Odom, and Bynum came on the court.

For the Grizzlies, Sun Ce is not playing for the time being, and Conley, Tony Allen, Paul George, Battier, and Gasol are on the lineup.

For the Lakers, Gasol and Bynum have played most of their playing time staggered apart from each other this season. Jackson has clearly discovered that Bynum is jealous of Gasol's strategic core position.

For the Grizzlies, the main focus in the third quarter is defense!

The four perimeter players are all prepared for Kobe!

After the start of the third quarter, Sun Ce watched Kobe Bryant still playing very coquettishly, and knew why Tony Allen had to risk his life to defend him even though he couldn't guard him tonight.

The Lakers' style of play changed in the third quarter. Bynum served as the containment point at the basket, Odom served as the playmaker, Kobe served as the wing scorer, and Fisher served as the second passer. The Lakers began to play a triangle offense.

!

Some people always underestimate Kobe's ability to move without the ball, because Kobe rarely catches and shoots, but he can always find one-on-one opportunities in the opponent's zone defense, and the Lakers don't need Kobe to catch and shoot at all, so give him

It's enough to create one-on-one singles opportunities.

The Grizzlies' lineup of one big player and four small players is to always have a defender in front of Kobe, so Sun Ce also saw the defensive effect of the team's four major perimeter players on Kobe.

Some fans jokingly said that Kobe can only shoot difficult shots, and he will shoot even if there is no difficulty, but he will not shoot easy shots.

At first glance, it seems to make sense, but if you look closely, you will find that it makes no sense! When faced with the defense of Battier and Tony Allen, Kobe still had to jump with all his strength and try his best to get rid of the defense. In general,

Kobe faced these two more times than Kobe. Didn't you see that Conley and Paul George were teased by Kobe when they occasionally switched to Kobe's defense...

Without the defense of Tony Allen and Shane Battier, Kobe Bryant, who has been in excellent form recently, would have been able to break through!

Tony Allen's defense is very important. It at least limits Kobe's performance to a point where it's not too unbelievable. Moreover, Kobe has to put in a lot of effort to deal with Tony Allen and Battier, which is definitely better than playing against the Grizzlies.

People consume more.

But Sun Ce felt it was a pity that Master Zen did a great job in allocating Kobe's physical strength. Kobe only played 14 minutes in the first half! This made Tony Allen not have much effect on Kobe's consumption in the second half of the first quarter.

Master Jackson controlled this aspect so well that he defeated Tony Allen's plan to consume Kobe Bryant in a wheel battle.

Halfway through the third quarter, Kobe once again scored 10 points in the half! At 6 minutes and 55 seconds of the third quarter, the Grizzlies called a timeout, and Kobe had already scored 30 points!

Under the leadership of Kobe, the Lakers scored another 15 points in less than seven minutes in the third quarter! The Grizzlies did their best to defend others, and they also worked hard to defend Kobe.

But I can't help it.

Fortunately, Artest and Barnes didn't play. Relatively speaking, these two people are less able to help Kobe Bryant's defense. The Lakers' defense is not particularly good. If Jackson wants to score, he must give up some things.

The Bears scored 13 points in nearly seven minutes.

74 to 75, the Grizzlies are only 1 point behind!
