Although I entered, Ibaka's re-defense this time was so beautiful!

Originally, because of Klay Thompson and Yi Jianlian's unball pick-and-roll cooperation, Adams' contraction, Ibaka gave up the Grizzlies' worst three-pointer Richard Jefferson to make up for Klay Thompson's game

Sent.

As a result, when Richard Jefferson ran back, Ibaka seized the opportunity to withdraw it and successfully made up for the hat.

Sun Ce felt that although Ibaka's block count dropped this season, his athletic ability, defensive awareness, defensive execution, etc. seemed to have reached a peak, that is, he reached the peak of his defensive strength.

Feel!

It can be seen from the defensive efficiency and the scoring efficiency of the opponent per 100 rounds that Ibaka's data in these aspects this season is comparable to those of Duncan, Noah and Chandler.

After grabbing the offensive rebound and scoring, Sun Ce quickly retreated and returned.

The Thunder team has few fast attacks. From a tactical perspective, they are a very, very traditional team. Unless they have to be absolutely necessary, there will always be a big center on the court.

I didn't feel that last time I met. The Grizzlies were in great shape that time. This time I played against the Thunder. Looking at Durant, who was the top scorer, Ibaka, one of the best defensive players in the league.

Westbrook, who averaged triple-double, led the team to over, and Sun Ce seemed to feel the scene depicted in a poem - the dark clouds were pressing against the city and was about to destroy it!

Westbrook's sharp breakthrough, coupled with Durant's super strength without too many running positions, Westbrook scored once when he came up, Durant got the chance to catch the ball at the bottom line with a step.

Durant had already raised the ball before Paul George followed and made a shot interference!

Durant raised the ball, and the defenders could only expect Durant to miss the shot.

However, after making enough preparations, Durant, who had just started the game, made a steadily two-pointer!

When Durant took action, he knew he would definitely enter. He did not rely solely on his physical condition to misalign himself. The overall position analysis of the whole game, the judgment of the movement of the ball, the creation of the pass and receiving space, the grasp of the timing, everything

They are all top-notch.

Sure enough, as Durant expected, Sun Ce, who had retracted the basket, immediately picked up the ball and left the baseline and sent it to Paul George, and the Grizzlies started a fast attack!

Paul George can't deal with a defensive player of the same level as him, so he doesn't fall into the position to attack. Although the Thunder retreats quickly, Durant takes action and Adams will do it.

It was judged that there was no offensive rebound and it was directly retreated, but the Grizzlies still had the advantage of the connection section - misaligned!

After serving, Sun Ce went straight to the opposite side from the middle. Adams came up to block Sun Ce during the retreat, but Sun Ce turned around and avoided it without the ball. Paul George broke into the left middle distance and was blocked by Westbrook. He immediately passed to the top arc to enter.

Sun Ce at the three-point line, Sun Ce went straight to the basket!

Ibaka went to block Yi Jianlian. Durant took back and attacked Sun Ce with Adams who was chasing Sun Ce. Sun Ce passed the ball, left corner, Klay Thompson received the ball and made a three-pointer... but failed to make an effort. Adams

Blocked Richard Jefferson, who was rushing to grab the defensive rebound before Durant grabbed Sun Ce who wanted to rush to grab the ball.

Although Klay Thompson failed to score this goal, the Grizzlies had a very good ability to grasp the connection between offense and defense conversion, and used the quick multiplayer to hit, creating a good opportunity.

The first shot in the trial was not scored, but the opportunity was made, and Klay Thompson also made a decisive shot.

When the Thunder team attacked, Sun Ce could see from the first goal what the Dewey duo wanted to do. In the last round of attack, Westbrook had a chance to pass to Sefrosa, but no pass!

Sun Ce estimated that it may be related to the decline of Sifrosa's three-point shooting. Frosa's three-point shooting percentage reached 44% in the 11-12 season, and last season was 42%, but it plummeted to

Thirty-two percent... This decline may also be related to the fact that the Thunder team's outside players were asked to take decisive action when they received the ball for a long time this season. Even if the player receives the ball, he may not be sure of being able to get the ball even if it is an open position, because

Sometimes I'm not in the area I'm good at.

But Sun Ce thinks this is not the main reason, the main reason is that the Dewey duo really wants to compete with him, Sun, for the scoring king and the triple-double king!

In terms of triple-double ranking, Westbrook is currently two triple-double fewer than Sun Ce, and he cannot overtake in a game.

But Durant has already surpassed the scoring list, and the two want to hold on!

Sure enough, this time Sun Ce found that Westbrook still wanted to pass it to Durant. Ibaka ran actively and Adams was also looking for a chance to cut into the basket, but Durant was too active!

Generally speaking, after Durant scores a goal, he will use his own threat to restrain him and maximize his scoring effect. Durant actually has a lot of time to take a walk and wait for the ball to catch the ball on the offensive end.

But today was too active. After Sun Ce shrank into the inside, when Westbrook was blocked by Yi Jianlian and Klay Thompson, who was single-defense, forced a stop, Sun Ce did not switch to Adams like he did in the last round, and kept Adams from going around and preventing him from leaving him in the front.

Receive the ball, but rushed directly towards Durant's movement!

Sure enough, Durant, who was jogging at the speed of his jogging but was very active in finding a position, immediately accelerated his speed and took a big step to the left of the free throw line when Yi Jianlian went to attack Westbrook!

Paul George worked very hard, but Durant's big stride was too powerful. Durant's physical strength accelerated his explosion. Paul George, who was already in the passive pursuit and defense stage, did not catch up!

Get the opportunity to catch the ball and create a chance for Adams to grab the rebound. Durant received Westbrook's pass and turned around and jumped... Durant jumped up and found that someone had already pounced on him.

!

Not ready, Durant's jump shot that temporarily increased the distance to the free throw line was missed!

The ball was actually in a straight direction, but Durant temporarily leaned back and subconsciously increased his shooting strength. He was not sure, and hit the inside of the basket and bounced out to the outside. Adams was in an excellent offensive rebound.

Even if he could not grab the ball so quickly, Sun Ce landed before Durant, turned around and stuck Durant, and grabbed the defensive rebound!

Seeing that Sun Ce was about to turn around and start a fast attack, Durant hugged Sun Ce directly when Sun Ce landed on the ground and made a tactical foul!

This foul awareness is very good. Although Durant has no chance of entering the best defensive team, his defense is not bad. Among the players who are evaluated at A-level defensively, he is the best group.

Sun Ce's defensive choice this time was indeed beyond the expectations of Dewey Second Young Master.

Since the Grizzlies do not have a high tower with frame protection, it is difficult for Klay Thompson to defend Westbrook. They expect Sun Ce to naturally focus more on shrinking defense.

Moreover, Durant's ability to fire in all directions is as long as he has enough physical strength, unless he has excellent anti-shooting movements like Tony Allen, there is almost no way to limit Durant's stage of sufficient physical strength.

Now, the most terrifying thing about the Thunder is that Durant’s shooting is not that Durant can shoot accurately, but that Durant can complete the attack with the minimum consumption!

Westbrook has the strength to win the assist king and the strength to compete for the score king. Although he does not have the strength to win two awards together, he can compete for both awards alone.

Westbrook's progress can completely take over all offensive things except shooting. Durant just needs to catch the ball and shoot. He doesn't have to help connect the attack like when Westbrook was not that strong before, which leads to the league.

The highest mistake.

Durant has the ability to organize offensive skills with the ball and play until his seventh year of his career, and has also developed it. However, this is not what he is good at. What he is good at is undoubtedly shooting.

Westbrook, his strengths are his sufficient physical strength, "happy to pass the ball", and his ball control is stable, and he really has the ability to break through and score in the first few years of the league to help him attract attacks...

So they decided from the beginning, Westbrook broke through and stared at the passing of Durant until Durant was tired of shooting and rested, allowing Durant to score more points.

But I didn’t expect that Sun Ce was so keen and he made a judgment after only one round!

After the foul, Durant quickly retreated and returned, and the Thunder team settled the defensive position.

The Grizzlies continued to attack, and after Paul George advanced to the front court, he continued to look for Sun Ce who was leaning against Durant at a low post. Sun Ce received the ball and judged that the opponent was pulled by his left hand and turned right, which affected his defensive judgment.

He chose to turn right, but did not cut in, but instead got up and hooked when Durant took a step back... hit it!

Two hooks, 2 of 2 shots were scored to score 4 points!

Watching Sun Ce run back and slap Paul George, Westbrook looks at Durant's eyes after receiving the ball from Durant. Durant shook his head, and Westbrook immediately understood.

On the other hand, after Sun Ce retreated and returned, his brain quickly thought about what the other party would do next. When Westbrook continued to force Klay Thompson, Sun Ce still chose to make up for the defense of Durant.

However, Westbrook and Durant directly interrupted their thoughts. Westbrook passed the left bottom line, and Adams, who cut in, received the ball and hit the basket!

Paul George contracted quickly this time and chased behind Adams, but Adams was really good in physical condition. A big man could turn around in the air and avoid Paul George's left hand chasing the hat and put the ball into the basket.

basket!

Sun Ce's ability to assist in defense is beyond doubt. Why is Klay Thompson going to defend Westbrook tonight, Paul George going to defend Durant without the ball, rather than defending without the ball, better Klay Thompson going to defend Durant

?It is because Paul George is also a good defense against the single defense... Of course, the gap between Paul George is not that big, but a good defense against the single defense is slightly stronger than a good defense against the single defense. Paul George defends the overall defense and plays a defense.

At the same time, players like Westbrook who have strong linear acceleration ability, Klay Thompson is better at it.

This time just now, Sun Ce and Paul George have almost achieved the ultimate in their defense. If you change to other physical fitness insiders, Paul George is really likely to interfere with it or even complete the chasing of the hat.

Both team players are making adjustments and want to grasp those details.

Although the Thunder currently has only 30 wins and 23 losses, it ranks eighth in the West, but this is from 14 wins and 15 losses to 30 wins and 23 losses. In other words, after Durant's comeback, the Thunder's record is

16 wins and 8 losses.

In terms of strength, the Thunder team with Durant is still a favorite to win the championship, and the strength is not much different from the Grizzlies.

So details are particularly important, and it is likely that the final result of the game will be the seeds planted in the previous details.

Durant, Westbrook, this pair may eventually collapse, but it may indeed be the most suitable duo. It made Sun Ce feel the strength of the duo that could play 3-1 with the 73-win team in time and space. That

Ibaka's defensive efficiency around the duo has forced a comeback due to a serious injury and has dropped significantly!

Ibaka's defense has entered its peak period now. Although he was forced to become an offensive power forward due to a defensive collapse after not having a major injury on the offensive end, he developed a three-pointer with a shooting percentage of nearly 40%. However, China National Bulletin was completely in full swing last season.

It has been developed. Who is the first in mid-range shooting percentage last season?

It's not Kobe, Nowitzki and Durant, but Ibaka who averaged 2.1 mid-range or long-range mid-range shooting with 54% shooting percentage! Even close-range shooting, Ibaka

There is also a shooting percentage of 49%, of course, basically only catch shots.

But the restraint of receiving and shooting allows the Thunder to play Westbrook, Durant and Adams' three-man offense. Even if Frosa was ignored by Sun Ce on the offensive end, she was ignored by the other four Thunder.

The Thunder team's offense is still very good!

On the offensive end of the Grizzlies, once they fell into the positional battle, they did not make any mistakes. The first shot was really not good, and Ibaka defended too well!

Just like the Grizzlies were blocked by Ibaka when they were at the first offense at the beginning, Ibaka's active and strong backup defense gave the Grizzlies a powerful sniper at close range and at the basket!

However, Yi Jianlian and Richard Jefferson had a wide space. Sun Ce played half a quarter and actually got 3 offensive rebounds! One time, Richard Jefferson was knocked out at the beginning, and the other time, Yi Jianlian

He missed two points, and once Paul George missed three-pointers, and Sun Ce all turned into scores.

Sun Ce has such an opportunity to rush, which is related to Klay Thompson's first three-pointer missed and the next two three-pointers were scored!
To be continued...
