I Don’t Want to Be the Boss

One Thousand and Ten. Did You Forget Something During the Inheritance?

People always have different views on the same thing, especially as opponents, the two sides have completely different views on the same thing.

From Sun Ce's perspective, what he saw was that Kobe exploded in the second half, scoring 20 points in two consecutive quarters. If not for his 24-point threat in the third quarter, helping Nash and Gasol connect the team in the second half. With 70 points, they almost lost.

50+ points in a single game brings Sun Ce's number of 50+ points in a single game in the playoffs to 5 times. That achievement event is still 4 times short of 50+ points to surpass Jordan and rank first in history, and he can get the Peak Jordan Card!

In addition to the game itself, Sun Ce learned more about Durant after using the Durant star experience card.

After scoring 24 points in the third quarter, it wasn't that Sun Ce didn't want to score 13 points in the fourth quarter to reach 60+, but that he really couldn't!

Not only was he heavily guarded, but after 14 shots in the third quarter, he clearly felt his hand was slipping in the final quarter. Therefore, Sun Ce chose a style of containment and penetration to maintain the threat and make easy shots when he had the chance. He was prone to interference when defending. Of the three goals scored in the fourth quarter, two were cut-in dunks.

Perhaps except for James, who is currently at his peak physical condition, no current player can play 18 minutes in the first half like Kobe and then take 12 shots in two consecutive quarters in the second half.

Kobe shot 14 of 24 in the second half and scored 40 points, which really shocked Sun Ce.

This time, Sun Ce truly understood that Durant really cannot lead the team as the absolute core, and he cannot be expected to maintain a high level of scoring throughout the entire game. He must have an extremely reasonable distribution of physical strength, otherwise he will feel weak after just one quarter.

Therefore, Westbrook's physical strength may really be the most suitable player for Durant in the dual-core system. Harden may cooperate better, but Harden's physical strength is also an issue, and there really is only Westbrook.

Of course, if there are a few more cores, it doesn't matter.

And Paul's tacit understanding when creating shooting opportunities for Kobe made Sun Ce understand what "the enemy is the person who knows you best."

I think back then, before Paul was seriously injured, he was already competing with Kobe Bryant for the strongest guard in the Western Conference when he was only in his third grade.

This time I used the star experience card. It was the first time that Sun Ce used the S-level star experience card, but he didn't gain much.

Durant's strength... Sun Ce thinks it's all about accurate shooting and high basketball IQ, nothing else. He can't organize an offense and his movement is a matter of opinion. It's all about accurate shooting.

This makes Sun Ce a little envious of Durant, who was able to shoot unlimited fire on a bad team from the beginning.

And he never had to worry about organizing offense or defense, while he and Sun were forced to assume the core role of the rotation in his rookie season and help the team reach the second round...

After the first game of the Western Conference Finals, Sun Ce once again became the focus.

This is the 8th time in Sun Ce's career that he has 40+ points in a single playoff game, and the 5th time in his career that he has 50+ points in a single playoff game! Surpassed Wilt Chamberlain and ranked second in history!

50+ points three times in the playoffs in a single season, and no one else but Boss Joe came out to control the situation!

And this season's playoffs are not over yet, Sun Ce is expected to continue to break the record of 50+ times in a single playoff game in a single season!

As for Kobe Bryant getting 50 points or more in the playoffs for the second time in his career, it triggered another topic.

This topic is divided into two parts, the first half and the second half.

In the first half of this game, Sun Ce made crazy breakthroughs towards the basket. He made 17 shots in the half, constantly looking for physical confrontation and trying to find a way to put the ball into the basket, and scored 23 points in the half.

On Kobe's side, he only took 9 shots in the half and scored 11 points on 4 of 9 shots.

In comparison, the difference is obvious. In the first half, Kobe was very much like Jordan, who was coming back from retirement for the first time, playing very steadily, while Sun Ce was more like Kobe who had just entered the NBA, fearless.

The second half was another story. When the point difference was negligible, Kobe wanted to rely on his personal ability to solve the game in the second half, but he encountered a guy whose outburst was even more ferocious than him!

In the third quarter alone, Kobe was overwhelmed by Sun Ce! This allowed the Grizzlies to take the initiative, and eventually the Grizzlies won.

In evenly matched situations, Kobe's best way of winning was actually overpowered by others. This is too rare.

As a result, a new topic emerged - Sun Ce will take over Kobe's inheritance torch!

Fans like to discuss these things, and it has quickly become a hot topic, but it is a little confusing. Is there something missing in this inheritance? It feels like someone has been forgotten.

On June 2, the rest day between the Grizzlies and Lakers, Sun Ce made an appointment with Nash and Stockton to go to the arena in the morning to discuss how to strengthen the offense.

"Noah, you don't want to fight a war of attrition?" Stockton asked in surprise.

"John, do you really think we have an advantage in a war of attrition? If we really have such a big advantage, why would the Lakers take the initiative to fight a war of attrition against us?" Sun Ce raised his own question.

Nash nodded when he heard this: "If Noah hadn't scored 24 points in the third quarter last night, we might have been defeated by Kobe."

This made Stockton wonder: "Yes, why did the Lakers fight a war of attrition with us in the first half?"

"I think..." Sun Ce expressed his conjecture: "They may want to make us mistakenly think that they are going to play the key ball until the end. In fact, they are preparing to sneak attack on us in the third quarter..."

is that so?

Nash and Stockton remembered that it was Sun Ce who started the fight last night...

But Kobe also broke out in the third quarter. Maybe he was really prepared. Then it can be seen that Sun Ce saw through Kobe's idea of ​​sneak attack in the second half and took the initiative.

Sun Ce was analyzing when the system prompt suddenly came.

"The Light of Leader (A) is triggered. When the team members recognize the host's analysis of the opponent and the situation, the sense of identity is greatly improved."

The two legendary point guards who were originally persuaded by Sun Ce's analysis, which sounded reasonable despite many bugs, thought more and more that Sun Ce made sense!

But there were still doubts. Nash asked: "But why did they waste time with us in the first half?"

Sun Ce tilted his neck and shrugged, and Stockton shook his head. They were also confused...

...

The preparation time was very short. At 8 pm on June 3, the Grizzlies' second home game in the Western Conference Finals was about to start.

The last game was a painful experience for Kobe and the Lakers, but Kobe will not be depressed because of a loss. Paul, Pau Gasol and others are also players with a strong competitive mentality. They determined their goals in the player meeting on the rest day yesterday and executed according to the plan discussed with the coaching staff before the start of the series.

That is to continue to fight a war of attrition with the Grizzlies until the critical moment.

If Sun Ce explodes again tonight, they will admit it. After all, it is two away games. If they lose, they lose. If they grab a home advantage, they will make a lot of money.

However, after the game started, Kobe, Paul and others found that the Grizzlies did not seem to have the idea of ​​continuing the war of attrition!

The Lakers still have Paul, Kobe, Artest, McRoberts, and Pau Gasol as the starting lineup, while the Grizzlies have Sun Ce, Paul George, Battier, Randolph, and Gasol as the starting lineup.

Randolph started to chisel Pau Gasol!

Randolph's singles were average, but he was very fierce. He tried his best to fight with Gasol. Even if he couldn't score, he didn't let Gasol feel comfortable.

After Randolph finished, Sun Ce broke through with a pick-and-roll. Sun Ce broke through. The Lakers didn't dare to let Sun Ce shoot one-on-one like in the first half of the previous game. They double-teamed him when they should. Therefore, Sun Ce sent a lot of passes and his teammates had a good touch.

Sun Ce and Randolph took turns. When Randolph was tired of playing, Sun Ce's singles became weaker because Randolph was tired and his restraint became weaker. The Grizzlies replaced Nash, replaced the two bears with the two emperors, and matched one of Sun Ce, Paul George and Klay Thompson, and started running and gunning!

Even if running and gunning can't deal with the Lakers, the Lakers can have a running and gunning lineup to keep up, but the Grizzlies must insist on attacking fiercely and not let the Lakers have a good time from the beginning!

The sudden change in the Grizzlies' play caught the Lakers off guard and disrupted their plans!

The Lakers were forced to turn on the star mode, and the team play could not compete with the all-out Grizzlies, whether in offense or defense.

When the Lakers turned on the star mode, the Lakers had the upper hand for a while, overtaking by 6 points with 63 to 57 in the middle of the third quarter, and the 6-point lead lasted for several minutes.

But at the last moment of the third quarter, Sun Ce, who had taken a physical potion, connected with Nash, who came off the bench. Sun Ce dunked two times in a counterattack, and Sun Ce passed the ball back to Nash in a fast break. In three consecutive rounds, the Grizzlies played a wave of 7 to 0. After three quarters, the Grizzlies overtook by 1 point with 74 to 73 and entered the fourth quarter.

In the second half of the third quarter, the Lakers failed to widen the gap. Instead, when Kobe was double-teamed at the end of the third quarter, Paul, Gasol, and Odom, the three main players who helped the Lakers overtake the score in the first half of the third quarter, missed three consecutive offensive shots, allowing the Grizzlies to play 7-0, which made the Grizzlies discover a problem.

They seemed to have taken the initiative!

Stockton and Nash finally understood why the opponent took the initiative to drag into the "war of attrition", because the Lakers had been badly consumed by the Spurs. Both teams played a style of hurting the enemy by 1,000 and hurting themselves by 800. In the end, the Lakers could withstand it better, mainly because Kobe could withstand it better, and the Lakers won the seventh game.

The "war of attrition" style of play would be very difficult for other teams, but it could be used by the Lakers. The Lakers took the initiative to fight a "war of attrition" with the Grizzlies.

The Lakers used Paul's team organization ability to play team offense. Paul used Kobe's shooting threat to increase the upper limit of Paul's team organization and offense, so that he could slowly consume the Grizzlies and let Kobe solve the problem at the critical moment.

This style of play can avoid the impact of their excessive consumption in the second round as much as possible in regular time, and can also play more games with this style of play, so that Gasol, Odom, Artest, Blake and others can take more time.

But unfortunately, today Randolph, Sun Ce, and Nash wanted to attack fiercely from the beginning of the game, disrupting the Lakers' plan.

The Grizzlies understood that they didn't need to consume the Lakers anymore. What was the purpose of consuming?

It was to consume the opponent and then go all out to take it away.

The opponent has been consumed by the Spurs. It's not going to recover in two or three days. In this case, just go straight to it!

Nash and Stockton were both impressed by Sun Ce's vision and decision-making ability. Although Sun Ce's original intention of proposing to change the playing style was actually wrong, it turned out to be the right thing to do!
