This new S-level event is a bit troublesome. It is more difficult to win the MVP of the series than to win the MVP.

Another incident is interesting.

"Because the host became a student of John Stockton and Derrick Rose became a student of Jerry Sloan, a B-level event: the pick-and-roll executive triggered."

"Pick-and-roll executive (b):

Goal: In the two games against the Bulls this season, the host's assists through pick-and-rolls must be no less than those of Derrick Rose in both games.

Event reward: Ball-handling pick-and-roll expert level 1 is upgraded to level 2.

Failure penalty: Delete skill card: Ball-holding pick-and-roll expert."

This incident made Sun Ce feel very fresh, but he found this incident even more interesting.

In terms of scoring, unless someone else's touch is extremely good, as good as in the opening game, and the Bulls' mid-range defense is almost as bad as the Spurs, then it is possible to beat Rose.

But compared to the assists after the pick-and-roll, Sun Ce is really not afraid of Rose. Although Rose averaged 9.6 assists per game in the first three games of the new season, in terms of assists alone, Rose does not have many assists in the pick-and-roll, and most of them rely on his own breakthroughs.

He mainly uses threatening distribution and pick-and-rolls to score points.

However, the two incidents may have something in common that can be exploited. To prevent Rose from scoring and to block Rose's shots, we must mainly help guard Rose and prevent him from passing out assists. It is difficult, but we still have to find a way.

The good news is that Rose's ability to use pick-and-rolls is not very strong. Sun Ce saw from the game that Rose's ability to use pick-and-rolls is probably about the same as in the second half of his rookie season.

In terms of time, Rose started studying with Sloan earlier than Sun Ce studied with Stockton.

But in terms of study time, the two are actually about the same length. Rose was unable to have contact with Sloan throughout the offseason, so Rose mainly studied with Sloan in the second half of last season.

From the news and the Bulls' first three games, Sun Ce learned that Sloan's adjustments to Rose at this stage are not to teach him how to use the pick-and-roll to connect the team, but to let Rose practice how to execute the pick-and-roll.

For example, this season Rose has improved his finishing ability after breaking through the basket after pick-and-roll.

It's not like you can train outside in one summer, but Rose has done a good job using pick-and-rolls to avoid defenses and reduce the pressure on his knees and ankles when changing directions.

During this past long offseason, Rose had to adjust his breakthrough play and tried his best, but failed to develop other skills.

But with this change, in Sun Ce's view, Rose's entire career has undergone earth-shaking changes.

There is a high probability that Rose will never suffer consecutive knee injuries caused by high-speed changes of direction. This also saves him from having to wear a crutch for half a year every year and then undergo recovery training. In the final season, he continued to have minor injuries and played five or six games a year.

I continued to be reimbursed for ten games and wasted all my golden years. In the end, I was no longer used as a core player. The pressure was reduced, so I could practice my shooting.

However, Sun Ce has not yet reached the stage of learning pick-and-roll with Stockton. Master and apprentice are masters and apprentices. Stockton and Sloan have the same idea, to let Sun Ce master the skills first and then start practicing pick-and-roll.

I usually teach Sun Ce some pick-and-roll concepts, and plan and train Sun Ce quickly and step by step.

Sun Ce felt that this incident was really interesting. He also saw rumors from the outside world that Utah's double evil relied on Shuang Sha himself or the head coach. The showdown between Sun Ce and Rose, in addition to the battle between the three new generation leaders, also

There was the Stockton-Sloan feud.

And Stockton and Sloan did not shy away from this matter. In interviews before the start of the season, the two even exchanged words, full of master-disciple affection.

They all want to make a name for themselves in the shortened season, they are all "pick-and-roll executives", they are all leaders of the new generation, they are all mvp candidates...

Sun Ce felt that he, the "flower-destroying hand", and the rose opposite him should be on opposite sides, and they didn't even need an alliance to fuel the flames!

Sun Ce couldn't help but look at Rose, who was chatting with Boozer and Luol Deng, two pick-and-roll players. Rose felt Sun Ce's eyes and looked at Sun Ce.

They both felt each other's fighting spirit. There was no grudge between the two, but rather some friendship. Sun Ce even boasted that Rose wanted to win the MVP, but he accidentally got it first.

But this did not affect Rose's personal view of Sun Ce. MVP does not mean that you can grab it if you want, it purely depends on personal performance. Rose's love for basketball prevents him from hating someone just because he has been robbed of his honor.

But it will obviously make him work harder to get back what belongs to him.

If a player, who has been playing for at least ten years, suddenly changes his style of play, it is difficult to do it within a year or two. But Rose did it in one summer. He kept practicing pick-and-rolls around the chair and worked hard to change.

My own style of play is to compete with all opponents.

To the east is Evans, to the west is this guy in front of me!

…

At 4:28 p.m., the referee signaled the players from both teams to take the field.

Sun Ce tied up the wristband, put on the arm guard, moved the balance bracelet to his right hand, rubbed some magnesium powder on it and walked to the center circle.

As for why he didn't just put the balance bracelet on his right hand first... this is an advertisement! His balance bracelets sold so well, and the scene of him wearing the equipment was shown to the cameras in live broadcasts across the United States, and it was considered his opening move.

The teammates who played with Sun Ce were Tony Allen, Paul George, Randolph, and Gasol.

This lineup is the Grizzlies' best defensive lineup.

For the Bulls, Rose, Hamilton, Luol Deng, Boozer, Noah.

Today's game was broadcast live on ESPN. When Sun Ce reached the center circle, the ESPN commentator began to tease Sun Ce for "not doing his job properly."

Before the game, ESPN was analyzing who was the strongest center in the 2007 class, Gasol or Noah. After Oden accepted the Trail Blazers' qualifying offer and then was reimbursed for the season, people's expectations for Oden were gone.

, all the attention on the new generation of centers has gone to Gasol, Noah... and Bynum.

Bynum played three years more than Gasol and two years more than Noah, and ended up being three or four years younger than both of them.

The focus of today's matchup is, in addition to Sun Ce vs. Rose, Gasol vs. Noah, the duel between Randolph and Boozer, the low-post singles masters and the mid-range shooting masters, and the defensive shooting pair of Paul George and Luol Deng.

The matchups between small forwards and small forwards attract much attention.

After Sun Ce came on the court, he concentrated on jumping the ball with Noah, and he had a certain chance of winning. The opponent had good mobility, good defensive awareness, and full of passion. But passion does not mean good physical fitness. Noah has explosive power, explosive speed, and bullet speed.

They are all average. With B-level bullet speed and B-level explosive confrontation, Sun Ce has an absolute advantage.

Moreover, Noah has short hands, and Sun Ce’s standing reach is two centimeters higher than Noah’s.

At half past four, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air.

Sun Ce and Noah took off almost at the same time, but Sun Ce hit the ball first!

Gasol wanted to cry when he received the ball. He and Noah jumped the ball 6 times, and he won 2 and lost 4...

Sun Ce won the jump ball, and there were boos all over the place. The Bulls didn't have much impact from losing the jump ball, and they retreated quickly.

Sun Ce's idea of ​​going down directly to receive Gasol's long pass for a fast break was not realized. He waited for Gasol to dribble out of the three-point line and received Gasol's pass to advance.

Squeezing his speed and reaching the three-point line with Gasol, Luol Deng immediately defended him. Sun Ce immediately picked and rolled with Gasol and went straight to the inside!

Noah is not good at bullet speed, explosive power, and explosive speed, but with B+ level speed, Noah is very good. Sun Ce and Gasol pick and roll, and Noah immediately switches to Sun Ce.

Moreover, Noah has excellent awareness of guarding the pick-and-roll, and his steps in retreating are very good, without losing position, and he maintains a threat to Sun Ce's shooting.

Sun Ce came to the outside of the three-second zone on the right side of the reasonable collision zone, suddenly stopped, turned sharply towards the middle, damaging his knees and ankles, and accelerated and changed direction while traveling!

Here it comes! Opponents have long understood this low-post move. Most teams have chosen to give up defensive arrangements against Sun Ce’s move. After all, this move consumes physical energy at first sight. No one except Ellis can

Playing like this all the time, let alone Sun Ce who is so big at the guard position, he only plays two times every time he comes on the field in a game, and a few times at critical moments.

Boozer was ready to block him early. He couldn't do much, but he could still act as a human shield. He took it back early. Sun Ce's move was difficult to guard against. There were countless insiders who were tricked. Sloan

He had been prepared for a long time. As soon as Sun Ce reached the basket and stepped on the top of the arc of the reasonable collision zone, he was blocked by Boozer and Noah came up from a double attack!

But what Sun Ce wanted was the opponent's flank attack, and he immediately passed the ball to Randolph on the left baseline. Randolph received the ball and shot a mid-range shot with Luol Deng's defense in place...

Hollow hit!

Why isn't Sun Ce afraid of Rose when it comes to assisting him after the pick-and-roll? Because he has Randolph who is in the best start of his career!

Sun Ce retreated immediately after Randolph scored.

The opponent's defensive rotation is really amazing. When Sun Ce passed the ball just now, Luol Deng had already predicted it in advance and defended it in place. That is to say, Randolph has this ability. The left baseline jump shot is what he is best at.

And when Sun Ce saw Noah passing the ball to Randolph, he immediately ran towards the Gasol at the free throw line to block Randolph's possible passing route. Boozer was also interfering with his passing route.

This defense is really no worse than when Thibodeau was here! Even Boozer took advantage of it, allowing Noah to reduce low-post confrontations, reduce consumption and injury risks.

Sun Ce lamented that Sloan is indeed a maintenance master who can use a pair of core combinations for over 40 years old.

When Sun Ce retreated from defense, Rose received the serve and advanced forward. Tony Allen started to press the defense from the middle line in the half court, trying to consume Rose, and constantly used physical contact to cause trouble for Rose.

His movements were clean but ruthless, and Tony Allen did not hide his desire to cripple his opponent.

Sun Ce followed Hamilton and kept an eye on Rose. After Rose reached the frontcourt, he did not directly use his super change of direction ability to get rid of Tony Allen. He had this ability, but he chose to pick and roll with Boozer!

When Rose borrowed the pick-and-roll, Sun Ce immediately rushed towards Rose's direction to the basket. Rose used Boozer's very stable pick-and-roll to block Tony Allen from rushing to the inside. Seeing Sun Ce coming to help defend, he wanted to find Hamilton, but

! Only then did he realize that Randolph did not switch to him, but immediately blocked the passing route between him and Hamilton!

Rose originally had the ability to go directly to the basket and score before Sun Ce's defense was in place, but due to his teammates' hesitation at this moment, he missed this opportunity and was caught up in Sun Ce's defense!

Faced with Sun Ce's help, Rose switched the ball to his left hand and threw the lever...missed!

Gasol blocked Noah's rushing route, and Sun Ce easily collected the defensive rebound.

They were both pick-and-roll offenses, and the routines were similar, but Sun Ce did it better than Rose. There was no harm without comparison. When compared, the fans at the scene felt that there was a big gap.

This is the gap in experience. Using the pick-and-roll, Rose is faced with multiple options, and his experience is far less than that of Sun Ce.

When it comes to defending the pick-and-roll, the Grizzlies really don't lose to the Bulls, especially the Grizzlies' lineup. In terms of defense, they do a good job in every type of defense.

After a trial run at the beginning, both teams began to use each other's defensive strategies to find opportunities, and both teams were trying to figure out how to deal with each other's offense.

In the first attack of the two teams, Sun Ce narrowly beat Ross, mainly because of his experience, but he also found a breakthrough!

Transformation is a hard thing. Rose's transformation is still in its infancy. Of course, his strength is there. If he encounters an opponent's team that is not so strong inside, Rose is as unstoppable as Westbrook. He attacks.

His strength is slightly inferior to Westbrook's, but his hands are better than Westbrook's, and they are much easier to use, so he is an mvp candidate, while Westbrook is not.
