One Thousand Five Hundred and Forty-Five. The Five Old Giants

On the Nets side, the division of labor among the five "giants" in the starting lineup is very clear.

Joe Johnson plays a pure catch-and-shoot style, picking up the experience of wing mid-range and long-range running and shooting in the early years of the Suns, and shooting a 40% three-point shooting rate, which is his best three-point performance in the nine years since he left the Suns.

Anthony pulls away when he doesn't have the ball in his hands, rushes to grab when his teammates shoot, and plays one-on-one when he receives the ball.

Garnett can pick and roll, shoot mid-range, and pass the ball. Except that he can't score in the paint now, he did what he should do in about 20 minutes of playing time.

Lopez moves much faster, and his mid-range running and shooting are much better than before, and he can also cut in to score.

Deron's scoring has declined, but his assists are much stronger than last season, especially Joe Johnson and Lopez, who split the wing after the pick-and-roll with Garnett, and the wing shooter who came off the bench, all did a good job.

Sun Ce watched the opening game between the Nets and the Heat. In that game, the Nets kept playing one-on-one at every position.

But now, there is obviously a more reasonable offensive routine. These players, even Deron, will be 30 this summer. Deron is obviously not the kind of superstar who can maintain the ability of the best team for a long time. It is normal for a player like him to collapse at 30.

Anthony is one month older than Deron, Joe Johnson is 32, Garnett is about to be 38, and only Lopez is younger.

So Sun Ce thought that Avery Johnson's singles tactics were suitable for this team at the beginning of the season, which was a wrong judgment.

Chicken Soup Rivers' reasonable construction of pick-and-roll play + Anthony's singles and offensive rebounding is a more suitable play for this group of veterans.

However, this group of veterans played well on the offensive end. In the past 12 games coached by Rivers, the Nets averaged 106 points per game, but the defense was not so good. During this period, the average points lost were 103 points per game, which was better than the first few games at the beginning of the season, but it was only the league average defense. However, this was related to the fact that Garnett and Kirilenko did not play for 48 minutes. The two of them could not play for 40 minutes together because they had to prepare for the playoffs.

Moreover, the Nets did a good job on the offensive end, but it was not all advantages. They had many flaws on the defensive end.

After Lopez lost weight, he could not hold up inside. Randolph played two games to adapt. Tonight, he found his pre-injury state and rushed for offensive rebounds over Lopez.

Joe Johnson's defense was basically gone. Due to the change of playing style,

he reduced singles and became a pure shooter... Sun Ce was curious about how the contemporary Jordan, who had the best hit rate in 9 years, could be evaluated only at the starting level. Now I finally understand.

Anthony has both physical fitness and mobile confrontation, but his defensive enthusiasm is insufficient. The best perimeter defender of the Nets is actually Deron.

This is not bad. When Garnett was still on the court, the Nets' defense was still okay.

But Garnett played for 4 minutes in the starting lineup and then went down. Kirilenko came on. Although he was still okay, Kirilenko's defense could not withstand Sun Ce!

So, Sun Ce started to break through and score crazily!

Klay Thompson and Paul George threw the ball as soon as they received it. Randolph grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it to Sun Ce. Sun Ce passed the ball to the double 3D. The two continued to throw, and the long two-point and three-point shots were crazy.

The double 3D's play today was a bit unconventional, but accurate!

Before the official timeout in the first quarter, the two had scored 9 points together. Klay Thompson had 1 three-pointer and 1 long two-pointer, and Paul George had two mid-range shots. Of these 4 running goals, 3 were assisted by Sun Ce! In addition to the lob to Larry Sanders in a counterattack, Sun Ce had 4 assists in half a quarter!

On the defensive end, the Grizzlies' lineup defended well against wing shots. Although Anthony was given several opportunities to cut into the middle and Garnett had two high-post jump shots outside the free throw line, the overall defense was okay.

The key is that no matter whether teammates can defend or not, they rotate to players near the three-second zone to help Sun Ce position!

Sun Ce scored 2 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in half a quarter!

In half a quarter, the Grizzlies scored 15 to 12.

In the first half of the quarter, Garnett did not play an advantage when he was on the court. The Nets head coach Rivers was about to explode!

They tried very hard, but Paul George and Klay Thompson were too accurate. One was 2 of 4 and the other was 2 of 3. The total hit rate was 4 of 7. As a pitching combination, the overall hit rate exceeded 50%. How can this be played?

However, with such a lineup, Rivers still wants to hit the championship.

In the first half of the first quarter, except for Garnett and Kirilenko, the other four positions did not change. The biggest advantage of this lineup is that it can suppress the opponent's fast break, just like the game against the Heat. By slowing down the rhythm, the Heat's fast break was restricted, and then the Heat was defeated two games in a row after the start of the new season.

But the Heat's outside scoring ability is not as strong as the Grizzlies. The three outside players of the Grizzlies can score 70 points together.

In this case, Rivers chose another lineup.

After the official timeout, Deron, Jason Terry, Anthony, Kirilenko, and Mason Plumlee came on the court.

Plumlee is an inside player with excellent athletic ability. This year's first-round pick is considered to be a very good player among this year's rookie inside players. He is the only player in the 2013 rookie who was recruited into the training team by the US Basketball Association after being selected. He has been determined to represent the US team in the 2014 Spain Basketball World Cup.

Lopez was replaced in advance, and Blatche was not replaced, which means that the Nets will no longer continue to play positional warfare. Lopez is just much faster. In general, he is still a positional warfare player. He is not the big center who can shoot three-pointers in the future and weighs less than 110 kilograms.

On the Grizzlies side, after the official timeout, the outside three-man lineup did not change, and the inside combination became Richard Jefferson and Yi Jianlian.

After the previous game with the Warriors, Sun Ce discussed with David Fizdale and Hollins about the Warriors' play when Curry and Harden shot well in three-pointers.

It is impossible to copy it completely, but it can still be imitated when the hand is hot.

For example, now!

Sun Ce thought it would be difficult to continue to get a triple-double against the Nets, but he didn't expect the double 3D to be so accurate tonight, forcing the opponent to stop insisting on positional warfare, and the opponent also ran!

This made Sun Ce play more excited in the second half of the first quarter!

5 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists. After the first quarter, Sun Ce scored 7 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, and 1 block!

At the beginning, Paul George and Klay Thompson played well, and the Grizzlies established a winning advantage from the first quarter!
