At the beginning of the second quarter, Draymond Green and Curry blocked and picked up the ball in one step inside the free throw line and passed the second pass to create an empty dunk for Iguodala.
The Warriors continue to play the Grizzlies as a team.
Looking back, Yi Jianlian received the ball on the left side of the three-second zone, and had the opportunity to step in and dunk directly, attracting Draymond Green and Harrison Barnes to the past, at this time Sun Ce borrowed Richard Jefferson to block Iguodala from the middle to enter the basket, Yi Jianlian passed back to Sun Ce, Sun Ce received the ball, and Harrison Barnes immediately made up for it, but Draymond Green saw that Sun Ce was in this position and did not wrap it up.
Harrison Barnes, who actively pounced, was shot away by Sun Ce, and then was beaten 2+1 by Sun Ce!
Under the new rules, regardless of whether the offensive player actively or passively puts his or her shooting cylinder within the defender's body, he will blow a foul whenever it is violated.
The playoffs will blow a little looser, but in the regular season, Sun Ce's kind of dunk against the defender will not agree if he doesn't blow it.
Sun Ce walked to the free throw line and hit the free throw! Individual score increased to 11 points!
After the start of the second quarter of the game, Sun Ce obviously increased his offensive aggressiveness, and began to play positional warfare offense based on Klay Thompson's double cooperation, and running and bombing with Yi Jianlian.
On the other hand, the Warriors continued to play as a team.
The game was as intense as the first quarter, both teams rotated the lineup, both left two starters, and also replaced an important substitute.
However, fans who have watched the Grizzlies and Warriors games in the past two years on the scene and in front of the TV have wondered, the Grizzlies are still playing with stars, and in fact, the triangle offense in the first quarter is also focusing on the personal ability of Sun Ce, Paul George, Aldridge or Klay Thompson, and the scores are more scattered, but they are all scattered on the stars.
The Warriors, on the other hand, are purely team-oriented.
Especially the Grizzlies fans at the scene, it seems that Curry is running around most of the time, and it is the Warriors' role players who are scoring, and this is even more obvious when Harden is resting.
But when people questioned Curry with this idea, Curry exploded!
The Grizzlies relied on Sun Ce and Klay Thompson to score three three-pointers in a row, and played a wave of 9-4 in one fell swoop, stretching the difference to 7 points, seeing that the Grizzlies had a wave of possibility to stretch the difference to 10 points, Curry stepped up and singled Klay Thompson's back-to-back three-point shot!
At 46-50, the Warriors re-narrowed the gap to 4 points!
Looking back, the Grizzlies relied on the threat played by Sun Ce and Klay Thompson to help Yi Jianlian create a cutting opportunity, Yi Jianlian formed a third threat, Pierce received Yi Jianlian's second pass in the open space on the right baseline, and shot in the stable open position.
Just when the Grizzlies were about to consolidate a lead of more than 5 points, Curry received the serve and rushed to the frontcourt, took a big step across the three-point line, and shot directly!
As soon as the ball was thrown, Draymond Green, who had seen his superstar shoot a three-pointer before he had even made it to the three-point line, turned around and ran back, and made a celebratory gesture.
The fans were about to boo Green when they saw Curry's ultra-long three-point shot!
After 5 minutes and 47 seconds in the second quarter, the Grizzlies called a timeout!
Originally, Coach Hollins wanted to stop the opponent, in the state of non-foul and non-dead ball, few teams will take the initiative to call a timeout, calling a timeout means that the momentum is weaker than the opponent, and it will give the player a feeling of "we need to call a timeout to have time to find a way to deal with the opponent".
I didn't expect that in the end, it was their Grizzlies who were stopped by the Warriors!
The good thing is that their Grizzlies don't care about that, and if necessary, a timeout is enough, and they can attack once the opponent calls a timeout, tossing and killing the opponent.
But at this moment, the fans who were still questioning Curry just now were stunned!
In just 33 seconds, Curry stopped the splash brothers who were about to take off!
Take a closer look, Curry's data is 12 points, 2 boards, 3 assists and 1 steal, and Sun Ce, who scored 10 points in the second quarter and has scored 18 points and 20 points in the half, is no problem, and even has the opportunity to rush to 30 points in the half.
But these two goals alone are enough to help other players on the Warriors build confidence, and they can also better help the Warriors' playmaker Draymond Green, Iguodala, and Harden create better passing opportunities!
This is just like the original time and space in the 14-15 season, people thought Curry was so good, Curry also won the MVP, and the result was the same feeling when I saw Curry averaging 23.8 points and 7.7 assists per game.
The strong contrast between Curry's data and role was also felt by Sun Ce when he walked back to the bench after his head coach called a timeout and saw the comparison of the data of the two teams' leading stars listed on the big screen.
But what he sees is not quite the same as what the fans see, in the game, he can often see Curry relying on excellent running, piling, and reverse running to get a glimpse of catching the ball, and because Iguodala, Harden, and Draymond Green are all good passers and can take advantage of that opportunity, the Grizzlies must find a way to block in advance.
The Warriors also took advantage of this to play a beautiful team offense, and in Sun Ce's eyes, Curry is the kind of killer who is constantly looking for opportunities and has the ability to find opportunities, and must be blocked.
Therefore, after a season, Curry looks at his average data per game, except for the scary three-point point, I really can't see how special it is.
But at the critical moment, as just now......
Sun Ce feels that this is Stephen Curry's epic three-point shooter's unique way of leading the team!
He doesn't have the playmaking and offensive sense of Paul, the omnipotent scoring ability of Durant, and the strong physicality of Westbrook or James, Evans, or Rose.
But Stephen Curry can do it, he can lead his teammates forward, and he's standing with anybody, he's so special.
……
On the other side, watching Sun Ce score 10 points in less than 6 minutes, helping the Grizzlies score 18 points in less than half a quarter, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr also had a big head.
This player is incredible, he can't connect Sun Ce with the little boy who went to their team for a trial more than five years ago.
He admits that it was the worst decision of his basketball career, but at that time, who but Nelson Sr. would use a '09 second-round pick to pick Sun Ce? There are too many examples of the development league that have disappeared after one or two games in the NBA.
But no one cares about those, only "Cole gives up the lord" will be remembered by the fans.
Sun Ce thinks Curry is special, but in the eyes of others, Sun Ce is the most special, and Steve Kerr thinks so too.
After Steve Kerr joined the Warriors, he had a detailed communication with many players on the Warriors team, and he had a deeper understanding of each player, and he had previously studied the characteristics of each player in the Warriors, and even speculated who was in which position, what style of play, and what direction he could play better, which is the key to his ability to quickly take over all the things left by Mark Jackson and improve them to play dominance in the new season.
Moreover, because there is Curry, who is stronger than in the original time and space, and Harden, who is not in the original time and space, although Klay Thompson is missing, but on the whole, it may be stronger.
And when Steve Kerr asked Curry and Harden, Thabit, Harrison Barnes and other relatively young players who were the best active players, they all said Sun Ce, and the reasons were very different.
Harden said that he liked Kobe Bryant the most, but Kobe Bryant was old, Sun Ce was the strongest, and he defeated his eldest brother in the scoring title and his second brother in the triple double.
Tabit said that Sun Ce has a three-second zone guarding ability that others can't imagine, as long as he can give him a qualified defensive center.
Harrison Barnes said that Sun Ce's cut was deadly, and he was helpless every time he made up Sun Ce's cut.
Curry, on the other hand, said that Sun Ce is a very dangerous three-point player......
This makes Steve Cole feel that 10,000 people may be able to say 10,000 different aspects of Sun Ceqiang in their mouths.
The biggest headache for Steve Kerr is that not long after the start of the season, the Grizzlies have just passed the stage of finding their own problems and starting to try changes.
This phase is difficult to predict, and like Paul George's brilliant Monchon version of the triangle offense, Steve Kerr, the No. 2 Bulls dynasty lead pitcher who has won three championships under the triangle offense, finds it difficult to deal with.
In fact, if it were another month or two, after the Grizzlies' tactical policy of going to last the whole season was clear, Steve Kerr felt that it would be better to play.
It's not that the Grizzlies will be weaker in two months, but they know how the Grizzlies will play, and there are more places they can target, and their Warriors have the ability to exploit the weaknesses of the opposing team.
But now, it's up to the stars!
Just like just now, only Curry can alleviate the crisis by making two strong three-pointers in a row.
In those 30 seconds or so, if it weren't for Curry, they might have been thrown by the Splash Brothers!
……
After the timeout, the Warriors replaced Draymond Green, which meant that the Warriors had to take a temporary stoppage for the death five, with Speights and Thabit on the inside, and Curry, Harden, and James McAdoo on the outside.
On the Grizzlies' side, Paul George, who had rested for half a quarter, went down to rest Klay Thompson, and the lineup of Tony Allen, Aldridge, and Gobert played.
Both sides tacitly put away the lineup without a center and began to play traditional positional warfare offense.
The difference is that on the Warriors' side, Harden and Speights' pick-and-roll offense tandem the whole team, while the Grizzlies' side is still the main star.
With Tony Allen and Gobert here, Sun Ce, Paul George, and Aldridge decisively opened the singles mode, Tony Allen and Gobert passed when they had the opportunity to eat cake under the basket, Sun Ce and Paul George passed the ball well, Aldridge passed the ball high and low was very good, this is no problem, when Tony Allen really has a super big gap on the outside and no one cares about it, it will also be passed to Tony Allen to bet on luck on the outside.
Stars are important for a team, and the Grizzlies illustrate this very well, with Sun Ce's side being heavily targeted, and Paul George's side facing Harden's strong defense and scoring consecutive singles!
During this period, Harden steadily helped the Warriors score and tried his best to attack in tandem, but the Warriors did not score in 3 consecutive rounds, and Paul George played a wave of 6-0 alone, once again stretching the difference to 8 points!
Seeing that he was in crisis again, Curry stepped up again at this time and hit a three-point shot to narrow the gap to 5 points.
Then Harden followed suit, hitting two mid-range step-back jumpers in a row to bite the score.
After the wave combination soared, the Warriors' role players got a better chance, and even Sun Ce was almost exhausted at the end of the second quarter, and could only score two with excellent luck in shooting three-pointers from the outside, the Warriors still bit the score.
At halftime, relying on Sun Ce's halftime performance of 26 points, 7 boards, 4 assists, 1 block and 2 steals, the Grizzlies led the Warriors by 5 points at 71-66 and entered the halftime break.
……
With 18 points, 4 boards, 2 assists, 1 block and 1 steal in a single quarter, Sun Ce played hard in the second quarter, but he failed to open the difference!
His teammates played well enough, except for him, and his teammates combined for 45 points in the half, which was likely to be a half-time team score last season.
But the Warriors were stunned to bite the score with his 25+5+5 performance in the half of the game.
And look at Curry's stats, 17 points and 3 assists in the half, Curry shot 6 of 12 today, including 5 of 9 three-pointers, only 1 of 3 non-three-pointers, and no free throws.
Say it's outstanding? The three-pointers of 5 of 9 are really powerful, but they can't be scored every time, but when they have to score, Curry can really score!
But Curry, who looks similar to the explosive Korver on the offensive end, is the key to the Warriors playing so well!
Sun Ce doesn't need to compare the impression of the Warriors, and he doesn't need to review the Warriors' scouting report sent by the team when he went to Los Angeles to accompany Lily Collins, he can clearly feel that Harden's organizational offense with 15 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in the half, Iguodala's 4 points and 2 assists in the half, and Draymond Green's 3 assists in the half, are all based on Curry's containment!
Back in the locker room, Sun Ce went to the bathroom to inject a physical agent, changed his jersey and returned to the locker room, where he saw the coaching staff discussing how to play.
The point difference can't be opened for a long time, no matter whether it is a triangle attack, a run bomb, or a star single tactic, it can't open the point difference.
And this is very dangerous!
Because Curry averaged 10.3 points per game in the third quarter in the first 14 games!
With the help that Curry brings to the Warriors after every shot, this is an extremely terrifying performance, and the Warriors clocked out in the third quarter, and it has become the norm after only playing for a month this season!
