Seeing that Sun Ce was still able to successfully take a shot with Lou Williams on his body and maintain stability to throw the ball into the basket, many fans in front of the TV thought they had seen it wrong.

Three years later, the impression of Sun Ce by fans other than Grizzlies fans is still that of a thin bamboo pole, because apart from being a little longer, one cannot tell that Sun Ce has gained as much as 15 kilograms in weight over the past three years.

After superstars such as Tracy McGrady, Iverson, Carter, and Webber have aged or even retired, many older generation fans may have watched very little regular season games. They basically only watch the games of Kobe, Duncan, and James, and those who played in the 1970s and 1980s

Fans who were born in China are the main viewers in the regular season. Most of the people born in the 1990s are not financially independent yet and do not have much money to watch all the games they want to watch, so they only watch the live games of their favorite stars.

Therefore, it is difficult for fans outside the Grizzlies to pay attention to Sun Ce's growth in the past two years. Many people online discuss Sun Ce, but in fact most of them argue with others, sometimes supporting this player, sometimes supporting that player... Anyway, that's it.

When you need to use a player to set off your favorite player, or when you need to use Sun Ce to suppress your favorite player's competitors, you use him as a weapon, discuss his data, and discuss his performance, but maybe even his highlights

I haven’t watched much of it, but the impression I have of Sun Ce in my mind is what the media has promoted—a player who relies on the system and an explosive player.

Many fans even think that he only relies on the system and explosion, but they have not seen that even when Randolph, Gasol, Tony Allen and others take turns, he can still play 18+8+6 first-class stars even without explosion.

level data.

And it is true that Sun Ce still looks thin because his limbs are too big, and it is true that he cannot compete with Westbrook, Durant, Sefolosha, Kobe, Ci Shiping, Marion, DeShawn Stevenson, etc.

He is stronger than a man, and in the entire Western Conference playoffs, it is difficult to see the improvement in his impact power and tonnage.

But in the finals, when compared with Lou Williams, those non-Grizzlies fans in front of the TV, fans who didn't watch the Grizzlies live broadcast very much, found that Sun Ce was very different from the inherent impression in their minds!

The opponent seems to be afraid of him entering the inside. Tonight, Sun Ce held the ball into the inside or caught the ball inside three times. The opponent chose to foul twice!

Sun Ce stood on the free throw line. After the player who grabbed the rebound stood still, the referee gave the ball to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce patted the ball, hooked sideways...hit!

This time Louis Williams couldn't even make a big move to foul. Sun Ce's rush was not something Louis Williams, a short shooting guard, could stop.

9 points and 5 boards!

Sun Ce surpassed Evans's 7 points and currently has the highest score in the game!

The score was also tied at 18-11. Evans did his best to help the 76ers narrow the point difference to 4 points and helped Howard create an opportunity to narrow the point difference to two points. As a result, it suddenly opened to 7 points.

Sun Ce's counterattack of 2+1 boosted the morale of the Grizzlies!

In the next few minutes, on the offensive end, the 76ers implemented a one-star, four-shot style of play, and indeed their offensive performance was pretty good.

Lou Williams is the core scorer and organizer of this lineup. Originally, the 76ers were ready to give up on Lou Williams and wanted to trade him after the All-Star break for Jamal Crow of the Trail Blazers.

Ford is the true Sixth Man of the Year, but one day when Howard and four pitchers were put into the lineup, Lou Williams played a role similar to Turkoglu, with sharp three-pointers and positional battles.

His solid passing style greatly surprised the 76ers coaching staff, and he became the tactical core of this lineup.

On the defensive end, the 76ers implemented a style of blocking three-pointers, with Howard guarding the basket and retreating as hard as possible. The Grizzlies had few opportunities to start a fast break.

The 76ers and the Grizzlies have a similar characteristic. The offense of the starting lineup is not as strong as the rotation lineup. However, the 76ers rotation lineup is also very defensive and highly targeted. If the opponent does not have a mid-range shooter, it will be difficult to deal with it at its peak.

A one-star, four-shooter lineup with Howard as the core of the defense was the core play that defeated the Celtics without Garnett 4-3 and the Cavaliers 4-2.

However, after Sun Ce fell into position, he continued to break through pick-and-rolls and hit mid-range step-up jumpers very well!

Using the pick-and-roll to break through to the mid-range on the right side, the 76ers' current lineup can't guard against it. Holiday, Lou Williams, and Meeks can't interfere when Sun Ce makes a decisive shot.

Thaddeus Young blocked the three lanes, and another person came to block the three lanes, giving Sun Ce a chance to distribute the ball.

Due to the impact of DeAndre Jordan, Howard did not dare to extend the close range. He originally played very well tonight due to some things that he did not want to elaborate on, and helped the Grizzlies play a very beautiful positional attack.

However, the Grizzlies' defensive end is not very good. It can only be said that the offense under the basket is limited well by Sun Ce. It is true that outside shots cannot be stopped. There is also rebounding. There is no Double Bear. Jordan is grabbing rebounds with Howard at his peak.

It was very difficult to get the ball and get stuck, which gave the 76ers offensive continuity.

After the first quarter, the two teams did not change their playing style. The 76ers maintained their good offensive style of play and did not even change their lineup. After all, 8 players rotated and each player played for a long time, especially the inside.

Duo.

For the Grizzlies, Coach Hollins wants to see the opponent attack, so he only rotates Klay Thompson and Neal's pitching positions, and rotates DeAndre Jordan and Yi Jianlian inside. Rebounds are not guaranteed anyway, and Yi Jianlian and DeAndre Jordan

Everyone is pretty much the same, one can stretch his shots, and his impact is second only to Howard tonight.

At the official timeout in the second quarter, the Grizzlies led the 76ers 40-32 by 8 points and entered the official timeout.

In the past 10 minutes, the Grizzlies scored 22 to 21. The 76ers called a timeout when Lou Williams was getting tired. Without Lou Williams, one star and four shots would not be as powerful as they were.

After the Magic replaced Turkoglu with Carter in the 2009-10 season, they were brutally beaten by the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals and were almost swept 3-0.

…

Returning to the bench, Sun Ce feels that he is doing okay so far. Thanks to the fact that the opponent sent out a one-star and four-shooter lineup for some reason, he can play more easily on the offensive end, which makes him run around on the defensive end and cannot be guarded.

It also ensures that you have enough energy to finish the first half.

The pressure is indeed too great! After Sun Ce discovered that the 76ers would not lose to any team the Grizzlies played in the Western Conference, the pressure came. Fortunately, the opponent did not allow Iguoda, who was not very stable in three-pointers.

Pull him up and shoot one star and four shots, otherwise he really won't be able to hold on.

18 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks. I only got two rebounds in the past 10 minutes, but I also got 9 points and 2 assists in the past 10 minutes! Two mid-range hits, a baseline hook, a total of 3 of 4 shots, forcing

The opponent's defensive structure changed, helping the Grizzlies to widen the point difference by one point.

Coach Hollins began to arrange rotations, preparing to use Nash, Sun Ce, Paul George, Randolph, and Gasol, a lineup that can both defend and organize positional warfare to establish an advantage before halftime.

On the other hand, why doesn’t 76ers head coach Doug Collins consume Sun Ce?

When he was studying the Grizzlies, he gave up on the method that the Mavericks, Thunder, and Lakers had tried. He felt that the three teams with better lineups had failed and they couldn't do it.

Therefore, Iguodala and Evans, two players who can keep up with their mobility and are not particularly disadvantaged by their height, were asked by Doug Collins to rest more and sustain the offense.

With 5 and a half minutes left in the first half, Doug Collins put on the lineup of Evans, Meeks, Iguodala, Lavoy Allen, and Howard for a final attack.

After the timeout, the two teams started a positional battle of offense and defense with their own goals.

Evans watched Sun Ce dominate, and even relied on mid-range shooting opportunities to overtake Howard, who scored 6 points, 5 rebounds and 1 block in 10 minutes. He could no longer hold back and launched a wave of fierce attacks.

The Grizzlies thought they could establish an advantage at halftime, but the 76ers, led by Evans, had a terrifying impact on both offense and defense!

After halftime, the 76ers scored 12-8 in the last 5 and a half minutes. The Grizzlies only scored 8 points in 5 and a half minutes. The 76ers scored 12 points, narrowing the point difference to 4 points in one fell swoop.

!

Evans scored 6 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 steal. The rebound was a tip-in. His performance was amazing!

At the end of the half, Sun Ce was almost exhausted. Fortunately, he had an 8-point lead before, so he and his teammates did not panic when the 76ers were chasing points. They played hard and defended desperately against the 76ers.

Under such circumstances, the offensive end still maintains stability. If you don't make a shot, there's nothing you can do about it. At least you don't mess around.

…

Back in the locker room, I thought that Evans played 12 minutes in the first half and scored 13 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists. Compared to his 18 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists in 24 minutes, the data was even more efficient in terms of efficiency.

Even better, Sun Ce is under great pressure!

Although they are all S-level ability evaluations, Sun Ce feels that Evans is very close to the real S-level!

Evans is like the Cavaliers Peak 1.0 version of James who is smaller in stature, weaker in impact, but much better in shooting! He has an inextricable physical advantage at the point guard position, and neither Tony Allen nor Paul George can guard him.

Only Deron can match his strength.

Before Rose developed his shooting ability, Sun Ce felt that Evans was stronger.

The word genius makes Sun Ce feel uncomfortable. Although he has improved faster than Evans, he cannot stand up to Evans. When he entered the NBA, he was an A+ star who could get 20+5+5 data. He only improved by a small level in three years.

But the starting point is high. He has improved three major levels in three years, but the starting point is too low.

Fortunately, his teammates on Sun's side are better, and even though he fought hard, they still had the advantage!

After going to the bathroom to dry off, Sun Ce thought for a while...
