957. Love broke out! (Part 3)
There were 7 games in 11 days, although the schedule was tight, fortunately there were not many strong teams. In the 7 games, only three strong teams, Trail Blazers, Magic and Mavericks were arranged.
But before the start of the season, the Magic traded Howard away, and the Trail Blazers naturally collapsed with the team doctor. Currently, there is only one last game in 7 games that the Mavericks are hard to play.
The biggest problem is that the two back-to-backs are two days off before the last game, which means that the Mavericks will have to play 6 games in the first 9 days.
Although the 9-day and 6-game battles are not as brutal as the past 8-day and 6-game battles and 6-game battles at the beginning of the month, in the ordinary season, 9-day and 6-game battles are the closest schedule that each team can experience in the regular season.
The shrinking season has made the teams unable to prepare for the playoffs even.
There was no way, Sun Ce suppressed his excitement, nervousness and a little scared and prepared for the battle.
At noon, NBA officially announced the East and West Player of the Week for the 16th game week of the season.
In the West, Paul, who averaged 4 wins and 1 loss last week, averaged 14.2 points and 13.2 assists per game, won the Best of the Week. Taking advantage of the Spurs losing two games last week, the Lakers have the possibility of firmly taking the second place in the West.
In the East, Andrew Bynum helped the Knicks win 3 wins and 1 loss in the past week, averaging 24 points, 14.5 rebounds and 3.25 blocks per game. After returning to the positional style, Bynum performed better than before.
It's better to help the Knicks stabilize the fifth position in the East and sit in the five-pointer.
Sun Ce is very concerned about this, which may affect his competition for MVP this season. When he saw that the best of the Western Conference Week was not his, his heart was cold, but unexpectedly, Bynum stood up and pushed the team over the season.
James was on the verge of rushing.
Seeing Kobe averaged 30.3 points per game and James averaged 30.1 points per game, these two guys have recently fought. If you have a 30+ game, I will have a 40+ game. After both averaged 30 points per game, they both averaged 30 points per game, and dominated the hot news every day.
Sun Ce tried hard to suppress his inner restlessness. This restlessness did not mean that he wanted to be separated from them, but that he wanted to show his impulse caused by anxiety...
...
After resting for an afternoon, it was 5:40 pm. After the warm-up, Sun Ce and his teammates entered the stadium together.
The regular season is about to end, and the first regular season champion in team history and Sun Ce's second MVP are only a short distance away. The enthusiasm of Grizzlies chess fans can be imagined.
In the past, they were all chasing stars from other teams, but in the United States, the team's Mi is really harder than the star Mi. Of course, the star Mi of the local team is also considered among the team's Mi.
Memphis fans were really unable to get hard before, and they had been bad for so many years! Although they had entered the playoffs three times before, they were swept three times.
However, since Sun Ce arrived, local Memphis fans felt that their basketball world had been lit up!
In recent years, some Memphis fans are awesome and can brag. Although they have not won the championship, 29 teams every year cannot win the championship and have not won the championship. Other awesome and can continue to brag.
For example, using the second-tier center to replace Sun Ce avoided Tabit's long-term training and just a defensive center with average physical strength in his hands, and also brought back a second-grade MVP.
For example, Randolph was really a bad guy before, but after coming to Memphis, he became the top inside player in the team.
Now the team is not far from the first regular season championship in team history, and Sun Ce is also attacking his Lianzhuang mvp...
Watching the players on the Grizzlies appear one by one and listening to the cheers of the fans on the scene, Love on the Timberwolves is envious and jealous!
They were about to stand up this season, and it was impossible not to enter the playoffs, but there is still hope for a 50% winning rate for the first time in their careers.
Love doesn't like to lose all the time. After all, he is an inside player and does not have a good coach or a good outside teammate. Even if he doesn't use data, he can't win by leading the team himself.
And this season they really had good coaches and good point guards, and they once scored ninth in the West, tied the Mavericks who ranked ninth at the time, but Rubio was reimbursed, everything was over, and they turned back again
Big bad team.
Seeing Ellis leading the team to the ninth place in the West waiting for an opportunity, he dared not compare with others. He has never won 30 wins in his career, but after entering the NBA with him, he has been a bad team Warrior.
Team, he couldn't help but compare Ellis with himself, which made him feel that he was too failed.
And there are really people who compare their two teams. The Warriors seem to be about to make a comeback, but Love's team was named a super bad team.
And the Grizzlies, who were even worse than their Timberwolves at the time...
At six o'clock in the evening, the game between the Grizzlies and the Timberwolves began.
On the Grizzlies, Nash, Sun Ce, Paul George, Randolph and Gasol Jr. started together.
On the Timberwolves, Wayne Ellington, Martel Webster, Wesley Johnson, Love and Pekovic made their starting lineup.
After the game started, Sun Ce easily won the jump ball from Pekovic, and the Grizzlies attacked first.
At the beginning, he played according to tactics. Sun Ce went up to pick-and-roll for Nash. In order to cooperate with Sun Ce's cutting direction, Nash chose the pick-and-roll to break to the left. When Sun Ce cut in from the right, Gasol helped Sun Ce block Ai Ling who changed Sun Ce
Dun, Pekovic can only switch to Sun Ce who is defending and running towards the bottom line.
At this time, Gasol Jr. took a step to the free throw line, and Nash immediately passed the ball to Gasol Jr. Love quickly made up from the inside, Gasol Jr. hangs to the basket, and Randolph cuts from the bottom line to catch the ball.
The basket scored two points.
With two simple pick-and-rolls and two passes, you can easily get a pass-cut opportunity.
Compared to the one-ball-by-ball chisel, Radolph, a fat 122-kilogram power forward, is not stupid, so there is no need to sit and play to show off his star power.
Pekovic was helpless when he looked at Love. He just needs to stay at the basket. Can Gasol Jr. be willing to shoot and let him shoot? His defensive judgment is simply too poor.
Offense and defense conversion, Timberwolves offense, Wayne Ellington advanced to the frontcourt to organize the offense... In fact, it was just a few lucky games with the ball. As the semi-finals of the 2009 NCAA Basketball Championship, it only reached the 28th pick.
There is not no reason to be selected, his breakthrough is just a scumbag in NBA.
Unexpectedly, facing Paul George's defense, Wayne Ellington had no chance to break through, and took a step back suddenly, and shot a three-pointer with a big step from the three-point line...
Failed!
But Love stuck his position and squeezed out Sun Ce who rushed forward with Randolph's lead to score two points.
Love started to fight to the death at the beginning!
The Grizzlies encountered trouble at the beginning. Love is very hard on the offensive end, has good defensive rebounding, has good singles at low positions before losing weight, and has good passing. In fact, even the defense has highlights. If you switch defense, he will not be able to help defend.
, but it is really good to prevent low positions.
Under the guidance of Pekovic, who was in the second grade, Love finally did not leave Randolph casually and followed Randolph closely.
When Rubio was in the Timberwolves in the early season, his defense was actually very good. He once lost only 98 points per game. Pekovic and Milicic were in the center position, Wesley Johnson on the front line, Rubio behind the defender, others
As long as you do your own thing in both positions, your defense will be nowhere short. Moreover, their head coach is Adelman, who has excellent defense.
However, after Rubio was reimbursed, the back line lost its defense and there were no organizers on the offensive end, so it slowly collapsed.
In fact, this is mainly because he loses the game and loses the motivation to defend, and Love returns to the data brush mode.
But tonight, Love looked at Sun Ce with indescribable jealousy!
Why did Sun Ce become strong while playing against the Grizzlies? He was good at draft picks, many free agents joined, and even Nash got it...
Moreover, the Grizzlies are not paying much attention to every game at the end of the season. Love is very confident about its strength and wants to show its strength well by fighting with the Grizzlies and let the stars of other teams pay attention.
Go to him.
Although he had sex with James, Love found that James was a bitch and was flirting with all kinds of things, so this guy might not be reliable.
Love, who is good at defending well, is really good at low post defense. He actively made a mistake in the first ball. He listened to Pekovic's words later. This is a big center with aggressive offense and defense at both ends. Adelman comes
After that, he quickly discovered his talent, Love blocked the basket, Pekovic blocked the baseline and the basket; Wesley Johnson on the outside was useless on the offensive end, except for counterattack dunks and receiving three-pointers, but he was defensive
Very good, single defense, auxiliary defense, cover, and steal.
Sun Ce and his teammates were fighting and found that it seemed that they had been floating on the outside for a long time!
Since the start was tactical and used pick-and-roll to find an open shot, the opponent defended very targetedly, blocking the basket and the bottom line, Nash was replaced by defense, Paul George's three-pointer was defended by Webster, Gaso Jr.
Er and Sun Ce were released. After Sun Ce, he received the ball in the middle distance, there was no defense. If Gasol had a chance to score a mid-range shot after pick-and-roll, there would be no defense.
It's good that he made the shot, but he couldn't make it. Randolph had no good offensive rebounding opportunities when facing Love. Randolph had a great rebounding goal, but Love was even more powerful!
The key is that there is no chance to counterattack, and the Timberwolves' offensive success rate is also very high, and they scored 16 points in the first half of the first quarter.
By the time of the official timeout in the first quarter, the Timberwolves led the Grizzlies by two points 16-14!
The Timberwolves' high offensive success rate does not depend on how accurate the shooting is, but they dare to throw it, and it is accurate when they throw it. The reason why they dare to throw it is because Love has three offensive rebounds in the half quarter!
Love's offensive rebounds meant that the Grizzlies could not play the outside trio + Randolph's counterattack. As the season came to an end, the Grizzlies' core starting five-man style has become more and more
The more and more abundant it is, the four-man counterattack after Gasol defends the basket is one of the tactics that makes the starting lineup offense seem less bulky.
Chapter completed!
