1311. Too strong is occasionally a trouble (4th update)
20+ in a single quarter for the seventh time in his career, and 50+ in the third quarter for the fourth time!
On the Spurs' side, Popovich no longer knows what to do in the last quarter, and there is no use for tactics or anything, so now he can only fight!
If it weren't for Ginobili's 15 points and 4 assists in the third quarter, they wouldn't have even scored 29 points in the third quarter when Duncan couldn't play at the level of a superstar in the second half of the third quarter due to fatigue.
played more than 25 minutes in the first three quarters, which is indeed difficult for Duncan, but Duncan is Duncan after all, even if he is not physically strong, he has a huge effect on the team.
Popovich saw that Duncan didn't want to rest, and he couldn't help it, so now he could only play hard.
Popovich felt a bit like the old warriors in the story, trying to pull off miracles in the face of menacing young people.
For the troika, the performance in the past few years can indeed be described as a miracle, and Duncan's double-team level this year can be described as a miracle!
Give it a go!
……
On the other side, Nash ran twice, scored 5 points and 11 assists, and got assists flying...... He has already surpassed Mark Jackson and can get a few more assists, maybe tonight will be the last regular season game, with 11 assists in half the game, and Nashme will go down to rest.
Now it's up to the young teammates to perform, and Nash has done his best.
Sun Ce's ability to score 42 points in the last two quarters is inseparable from Nash's playmaking offense.
If Nash hadn't organized the offense, he would have had to think about the ball, and he wouldn't have had the opportunity to devote himself to finding shooting opportunities, and he would definitely not have scored so many points.
Sun Ce regretted Nash's determination to retire after playing this season.
But there is already one regret, then there can be no more regrets, this season has to work hard to defend the title! At the very least, there are more Rangna teachers than Kidd champions.
And to defend the title, the Spurs are definitely the strongest opponents, and in order to beat the Spurs, the psychological advantage brought by the regular season meeting is very important.
Both teams didn't want to let go of this psychological advantage, Sun Ce sat on the bench and sweated a few mouthfuls of sweat, and continued to fight!
With a 4-point lead, there is an advantage, but God knows if the three key players of Parker, Guy, and Ginobili will explode in the final quarter.
……
Coach Hollins sent a combination of Beverley, Sun Ce, Paul George, Battier and Gasol Jr. to grind the defense.
The heavy responsibility of the offense was on Sun Ce.
Compared to Tony Allen, who can't guard Parker, Beverley can't prevent it, but the consumption may be better, and Beverley has three points!
On the Spurs' side, Parker, Danny Green, Gaye, Dior, and Duncan played.
At the end of the break, the Grizzlies attacked first.
After Beverley advanced to the front court, Sun Ce wanted to play with his back to the high position, but was guarded by Guy in front, Sun Ce wanted to score the first ball, if he could stretch the difference to more than 5 points, the advantage would be clearer, so he took Guy out to receive Beverley's pass two meters outside the three-point line.
Guy stuck to Sun Ce, in the past two quarters of the game, he almost completely failed to defend Sun Ce, although he also scored 28 points, but this blow was too strong, he wanted to get back face.
Sun Ce couldn't break through when he changed direction, and the distance of blocking and dismantling was useless, so he chose to stick to Guy to break through!
Guy stuck to Sun Ce tightly, did not lose his position, Sun Ce leaned forward sharply when he rushed into the three-point line, as if to change direction, Guy suddenly retreated a step and was ready to keep up.
But Sun Ce relied on the strong explosive power he had temporarily, and retracted his body in a daze, grabbed the ball while retreating in small steps, and made a jump shot outside the three-point line between the top arc and the 45-degree angle on the right side......
This large pullback made Guy's sudden retreat look stupid, and he was completely shaken away!
Sun Ce's jump felt average, but his excellent waist and abdominal strength kept his shooting balance, and Sun Ce tried hard to aim and throw the ball...... Fall into the hoop!
The fans at the scene cheered frantically at the throats that were almost dumb.
98-91, the Grizzlies extended their lead to 7 points!
With this goal, Guy's confidence was once again struck.
He can't defend better, or rather, no one can defend against Sun Ce's ball.
Obviously, Sun Ce's action was retreating, and the jump shot was not complete, no one would choose to throw like this, but Sun Ce did just that, and he threw it in!
When it came to the Spurs' offense, Duncan leaned on Gasol Jr. in the low post to ask for the ball, and Gasol Jr. felt that defending Duncan's low back play at this time was not similar to defending Kwame Brown?
However, there is a difference between the champion and the champion, Duncan doesn't know where the strength comes from, a beautiful low turn to wipe Gasol Jr., a backhand smash the ball into the basket!
This ball, hard! And fierce!
The background emperor is finally not the background when the top five balls are on!
Duncan has dunked 41 times this year, the same number as Westbrook's, and less than half of Kwame Brown's dunks.
But this ball is so beautiful, the favorite to play the best defensive player in the low post actually completed the turn and dunk!
The Spurs didn't give up! Duncan leads by example!
Sun Ce picked up the ball and sent it to Beverley, although Duncan scored, it didn't affect their idea of pressing the position, and letting Duncan hit his back was better than Duncan's easy cut and score by touch.
It's just a ball at a cost!
When he arrived at the frontcourt, Sun Ce received the ball, this time Guy defended Sun Ce to shoot, Sun Ce took the opportunity to break through, and the mid-range emergency stop shook Duncan to make up for the defense, but did not pass to Battier who cut to the edge of the three-second zone, Sun Ce Mamba possessed himself and rushed into the basket with one hand to split and dunk to score two points.
59 points!
The fans at the scene are already dry!
1 more point! Sun Ce can break the second all-time record of 60+ in a single season held by Kobe Bryant and Jordan, and dominate the second in history, second only to Chamberlain's 15 60+ in a single season!
There are still more than 10 minutes left in the final quarter, and Sun Ce's 60+ times in a single season is almost certain to surpass Kobe and Jordan!
Popovich is feeling so uncomfortable right now, generally speaking, there are opponents who score more than 50 points, and basically the team of the player who scores more than 50 points is a big lead.
But their Spurs are too strong, Sun Ce has 59 points, and their Spurs are only 7 points behind, which makes him have no chance to lock Sun Ce and prevent Sun Ce from scoring.
In Popovich's view, there is nothing more desperate in life than to watch his opponent set a milestone.
There is still a chance for the Spurs, and Popovich is pinning his hopes on Ginobili, and now, what they have to do is not to defend Sun Ce, but to try to score and bite the score.
It's been fought to this point, and Popovich says that he won't give up anything!
