1310. Three Quarters 50+! (Part 3)
The Grizzlies scored 34 points in a single quarter in the second quarter, if the Spurs were the weakest second quarter of the season...... The Spurs have played their worst quarter this season due to rotation, averaging less than 24.1 points in the 24-plus quarter, and if Duncan doesn't play, the Grizzlies have a chance to overtake the score in the second quarter.
But Duncan played the second quarter and played well with all his might, helping the Spurs hold the lead until the end of the first half.
But this is a very beneficial thing for the Grizzlies!
This will undoubtedly affect Duncan's play in the second half!
Originally, the Spurs were supposed to focus on defense in the second quarter, play cooperation, and withstand the opponent's counterattack, and Duncan played in the second half of the third quarter and the fourth quarter.
Not only Sun Ce saw the opportunity, but Coach Hollins also saw this good opportunity!
Seeing that Sun Ce changed his jersey, Coach Hollins made arrangements early to play Nash, who played the second quarter, and continued to play after halftime, and another quarter could still hold on for Nash.
Klay Thompson, Larry Sanders, Randolph on! Paul George and Jimmy Butler and Yi Jianlian are ready to rotate and continue to just! In the third quarter, it is to fight offensively!
Sun Ce is in such a good state, don't create more scoring opportunities for him, what should I do if I am the scoring champion?
……
The Grizzlies' morale is high, and the Spurs' are entering a time when they need to grit their teeth and fight hard.
The combination of George Hill, Ginobili, Gay, Dior and Blair played.
Popovich also wants to open, so he fights to attack and defend? The guy who scored 23 points in 12 minutes and 28 seconds, how to defend himself?
As soon as the third quarter came up, Ginobili began to exert his power, forcing Sun Ce to twist his body and put the ball into the basket under the attack of Sun Ce and Larry Sanders!
It's "put"! Ginobili's remarkable explosiveness leaned on the two to make a layup.
But the Grizzlies immediately counterattacked, Klay Thompson received a Nash point in the counterattack, and hit a three-point shot from the sideline!
63-64, the Grizzlies narrowed the gap to one point.
Ginobili's mid-range shooting is the worst link, Sun Ce was suddenly abrupt, this time he chose to stick to the three-point line and retreat directly in the middle distance to let go of the defense, but Ginobili really shot in the middle distance!
The moment Sun Ce jumped up in Ginobili, he pounced on it with the top burst speed and bullet speed he had temporarily, but he didn't interfere, and he fouled!
Ginobili played 2+1!
The demon knife is out of the sheath!
Sun Ce felt what is called 20 minutes Jordan, this year Ginobili is the worst year in his career, mainly due to injuries, physical strength is not well maintained, 20 minutes Jordan is gone, but rioting, 10 minutes Jordan can still do.
With Ginobili's free throw, the Spurs once again led the Grizzlies by 4 points at 67-63!
Originally, the Grizzlies thought that Duncan would definitely not play in the third quarter, but when their Grizzlies overtook the score and collapsed the opponent, they didn't expect Ginobili to stand up!
But Sun Ce is not cowardly, Klay Thompson hit a three-point shot just now, he triggered the "splash momentum", originally because of Kobeka's confidence skyrocketed, Sun Ce ran to the front court when he asked for the ball at Nash, received the ball and pulled a step sideways under Guy's sticking defense, sideways to avoid Guy's 221 cm arm span, and a three-point shot at a 45-degree angle on the right side......
"The splash is triggered at level 2, and the host has a teammate named Klay Thompson hitting a three-pointer, and the impact of this three-point shot is greatly reduced due to the backward and sideways shooting......"
After 8 consecutive irons in the opening game, Sun Ce's hand felt hot, Ginobili played a 2+1, and he immediately returned with three points!
As the ball fell into the frame, Sun Ce's personal score increased to 32 points, and the Grizzlies once again narrowed the gap to 1 point, 66-67!
The Splash Brothers and 10 Minutes Jordan Soared!
Ginobili was really aggressive, scoring and sharing in a row, and the Spurs played a wave of offensive climaxes.
But under Nash's organization, the Grizzlies have a good offense, and the Grizzlies have the Splash Brothers on their side......
At 6:11 of the third quarter, Sun Ce hit a three-pointer to increase his personal score to 38 points, and Klay Thompson followed up with a three-point shot to play a wave of 6-0, during which George Hill's three-point score was not scored, and the Grizzlies played a score of 22-18 in a little more than half a quarter!
With Klay Thompson hitting a three-pointer, the Spurs called a timeout into an official timeout.
At 6 minutes and 35 seconds in the third quarter, 82-80, the Grizzlies took a two-point lead!
Ginobili had 10 points and 2 assists in the first half of the quarter, such an excellent performance, and was forced to be overwhelmed by Sun Ce's 12 points in the first half of the quarter!
Popovich has completely run out of moves, and can only replace the strongest combination of the troika, Gay, and Kwame Brown in advance.
On the Grizzlies' side, Jimmy Butler, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, plus Sun Ce and Nash, continue to play offense!
With two more points, Sun Ce can return to the top of the scoring list, but in order to create a leading lead for the scoring leader, he must score at least 50 points, and he must expect Kobe Bryant to score less than 42 points.
Now Sun Ce feels so hot, after 2 of 10 in the opening game, he threw a crazy performance of 12 out of 17, and Sun Ce, who is currently shooting 14 out of 27, was stunned to hit 20 percent to more than 50 percent, which looks like Durant's reverse operation.
……
The Spurs brought in the strongest lineup, but unlike when they played at the beginning of the month, the Grizzlies relied on a comeback in the second and first half of the third quarter to narrow the gap to one point before the official timeout in the third quarter, but after the troika returned with Guy and Kwame Brown, the Spurs stabilized the situation and opened up the difference in the first half of the fourth quarter.
And this time it couldn't be done because Duncan didn't have enough time off!
In the first few offenses and defenses after the official pause, Duncan's mid-range shooting, cutting offense, and defense were still the strongest in the league, but they soon showed a decline in physical strength, although they still relied on experience, static physical fitness, and basic skills to maintain a good performance.
But it's not bad, it's obviously not enough to face Sun Ce, who is crazy!
Taking advantage of Duncan's declining physical strength, Sun Ce constantly hit the basket in the counterattack, and when he fell into the positional battle, he hit the back in the high position, and he mainly turned around and cut in.
12 points in the first half of the first half of the quarter, and a little more than 5 and a half minutes in the back, Sun Ce instead scored more points than in the first half of the quarter, 13 points in the first half of the quarter!
25 points in a single quarter! Sun Ce's seventh career single-quarter 20+ helped the Grizzlies play a single-quarter score of 35-29 in the third quarter, and the Grizzlies overtook the Spurs by 4 points 95-91 into the final intermission.
However, what made the fans on the scene the most excited and crazy was not only the overtaking score, but Sun Ce's 25 points in a single quarter, which was already 54 points in the third quarter!
