The situation of the game is obviously more favorable for the Grizzlies, Coach Hollins is very good at biting the opponent when he is behind, looking for opportunities to overtake, as long as he overtakes, the opponent will not have a head, he can use defense to grind the opponent to death, and the Grizzlies have such strength.

Originally, Gasol Jr. didn't play, Coach Hollins felt that he might fall behind in the starting stage, not to mention that he was very far behind, he should be behind, as long as he didn't fall too far behind in the first quarter, he felt that he had a chance to win, as long as it dragged on.

Who knew that in the case of the opponent's 31 points in the first quarter, their Grizzlies still led by 1 point, Coach Hollins obviously took the initiative, and the opposing head coach Carlisle made a mistake in the rotation at the beginning of the second quarter, and the defensive lineup sent by Coach Hollins came up to let the opponent play iron continuously, and the Grizzlies are obviously better at it than the Mavericks!

In the fifth minute of the second quarter, the Grizzlies tied the score at 40-35 and stretched the deficit to five points.

This is because the Mavericks relied on Kidd, the experienced playmaker, to judge that the situation was not right, and worked hard to speed up the situation, so as not to fall into the quagmire of defensive battles.

However, Carlisle deserves to be the top head coach who won the best coach in his rookie season, and he did not panic, he did not rush to replace the strongest player when he was in trouble like a manager, he saw that Kidd was not flustered, and he waited patiently.

In the first 5 minutes, the two teams played a lot of iron, and naturally there were a lot of rebounds, Sun Ce got 4 rebounds in 5 minutes, and the opponent only scored 4 points in 5 minutes, Sun Ce's 4 rebounds were all defensive rebounds, and he had already got 6 rebounds in total.

Kidd grabbed one offensive rebound and two defensive rebounds for a total of four rebounds.

It wasn't until it dragged on for 5 minutes, when Jason Terry should be replaced, that he took advantage of the dead ball to replace DeSean Stevenson, Marion, Nowitzki, Chandler, plus Kidd, and was ready to play the remaining 7 minutes of the first half.

On the Grizzlies' side, Coach Hollins grinded to the official timeout, and when the score was 43-39 and still leading by 4 points, he was replaced by a lineup of Sun Ce, Morrow, Paul George, Battier, and Jordan Jr.

After playing for more than a quarter, the players of the two teams know each other about their state today and how the overall tactics will play, the difference between the two teams is not large, and the Grizzlies have the initiative in the score, but this advantage is not very big, and now the Grizzlies want to maintain the advantage until halftime, it depends on Coach Hollins' control of rotation and defense.

Judging from the lineup, it is obvious that the Mavericks have a better defense!

After the official timeout, Sun Ce, Battier, and Paul George, three players who do not look very different in height from the naked eye, worked hard to defend Nowitzki and pinched Nowitzki according to Coach Hollins's instructions, which was a defensive judgment made by Coach Hollins.

This judgment is correct!

Coach Hollins was not confused by Nowitzki's role player play in the starting stages of the game, and decisively judged that the opponent would play singles.

The Grizzlies, one big and four small, plus Jordan Jr., moved very fast and did a very good job of pinching and cutting off the passing route after Nowitzki received the ball, and Nowitzki attacked twice in a row.

In turn, the Grizzlies counterattacked quickly!

First, Morrow received the ball and threw his second three-pointer of the game, and then Jordan Jr. scored two points with an outside threat, and the Grizzlies suddenly stretched the gap to nine points.

Coach Carlisle also adjusted quickly, and gave instructions to Kidd to change tactics, and Kidd began to connect the team to play blocking and demolition + team offense, and gradually narrowed the point difference, although the Grizzlies worked hard in the next few minutes, Sun Ce played very happily and focused, but the gap in the lineup was there, and it would be good to be able to hold on.

At halftime, the Grizzlies went into halftime with a five-point lead at 56-51.

……

Back in the locker room, Sun Ce sat on a stool panting.

At this time, Coach Hollins took a clean jersey and a clean towel and handed it to Sun Ce: "Go and change the jersey." ”

Sun Ce was a little surprised: "Coach, how do you know that I want to change my jersey?" ”

"Don't pretend, I know you're panting to show your opponent, if it weren't for your physical condition, you wouldn't have fought so hard in the second quarter, I wouldn't have guessed your little caution?" Coach Hollins has a look of "I see through you".

Sun Ce's heart moved, and he used the charged version of the physical energy potion that was unexpectedly unused in the previous game, and after three seconds, his physical strength recovered to full value, and he didn't breathe, stood up and took the jersey, and walked to the bathroom.

Sun Ce was a little sad, he didn't want to deal with people, Coach Hollins saw that his physical strength was okay in the second half, and the opponent must have seen it, and said that he pretended to be a pig and ate a tiger, and no one believed it anymore.

Looking at Sun Ce's sad look, Coach Hollins showed a smug smile, guessed right!

There was a head start in the second half!

Sun Ce played 19 minutes in the half, the starting stage at the beginning of the game was fine, and in the second quarter, Sun Ce played very hard, to help defend Nowitzki, to make up for Chandler, who was cut in by the defense, and to shrink at some point and then expand out to maintain the team's high-speed wheel conversion defense...... This kind of defense cannot be maintained even by Chandler, a pure defensive center on the opposite side, and Chandler will not pounce on it if he is not in a good position when the opponent cuts in, avoiding fouls and unnecessary physical exertion.

But Sun Ce, two fouls in the second quarter, is enough to prove how hard his defense is.

At halftime, he was able to lead by 5 points, and it was all up to Sun Ce to help Battier sandwich Nowitzki and grab two defensive rebounds to counterattack and play a wave of 5-0, otherwise the current situation is really hard to say.

However, Sun Ce's efforts paid off, not only helping the team to take a five-point lead at halftime, but Sun Ce's personal performance was also good.

While wiping the sweat on his body in the bathroom, Sun Ce looked at the detailed description of tonight's incident, 19 minutes of playing time 2 of 5 shots, plus 3 of 4 free throws, got 7 points, 9 boards and 6 assists, his personal 7 rebounds in the second quarter is the guarantee of the Grizzlies' last link of defense!

Little Jordan played for a long time in the first half, played 17 minutes, and scored 14 points in the half, of which 10 points were directly assisted by Sun Ce, and Jordan Jr. received Sun Ce's pass and threw it directly 4 times, and there was also a foul on Marion who made up for the defense after receiving Sun Ce's pass, and he hit all two free throws, which were also counted in Sun Ce's help he score.

This Sun Ce has a big advantage, Chandler's physical strength is much worse than Jordan Jr., Chandler currently only has 6 points, although all of them are obtained by Kidd's pass, but Kidd also only helped Chandler score 6 points.

Kidd also played 19 minutes in the half, finishing with four points, six rebounds and five assists.

After changing his jersey and tidying up his arm guards and hand straps, Sun Ce looked at himself in the mirror and couldn't help but praise: "This kid is so handsome......"

Just when Sun Ce was narcissistic, several teammates also entered the bathroom with their jerseys......

……

Coming back from the break, the second half was about to begin.

The third quarter is very important, especially when it comes to the matchup.

After halftime, the players' physical strength will be more or less better than just after the second quarter, but they can't send the main team to play at the beginning of the first half like in the first half, of course, it doesn't matter if there are stars like Kobe, James, and Iverson.

But neither team had that kind of player, with Carlisle fielding a lineup of Barria, Jason Terry, Brewer, Peja, Ratliff.

He felt that this lineup was enough, and if the opponent used Conley to rotate the lineup, the lineup on their side would not be much worse.

However, after the players of the two teams came on the field, Carlisle saw that the other party did send Conley, but Sun Ce and Randolph were also on the field!

On Randolph, Carlisle could expect that Randolph only played 12 minutes in the first half, but Sun Ce ......

Sun Ce's prediction was wrong, Carlisle didn't expect that he still had "physical strength"!

Because he had a chance to make a basket in the last attack of the first half, he jumped up but didn't touch the ball, and it didn't look like he was pretending at all!

By watching the video of the game and researching, the difference between getting along with the day and night is definitely very big! No matter how much Carlisle researches, he will not know that Sun Ce is so buggy!

Coach Hollins sent a lineup of Sun Ce, Conley, Morrow, Randolph, and Yi Jianlian in the third quarter!

When Sun Ce and others came on the field, it caused bursts of cheers from the fans at the scene.

All five of them changed their jerseys like they did at the beginning of the game!

Sun Ce was speechless to this group of teammates, plagiarism, this is!

Especially the red-haired man, he actually followed the trend and went to the commercial area of the stadium to buy a hand-tied strap at halftime!

After inquiring, Sun Ce felt that he had lost a lot, and he should have started the business of tying hand belts earlier!

When waiting to receive the serve, looking at Peja who was pushed to the power forward position by the opponent, and then looking at Randolph on his own side, Sun Ce mourned for Peja.

According to the scouting report, Peja's weight soared to 106 kilograms because of the previous "strike" to force the Hornets to trade or buy, and he was not a muscular player, he grew 20 pounds of flesh and 30 pounds, and he didn't train much during the strike, he looked bloated, and he went to play power forward.

After receiving the serve, Sun Ce advanced to the front court and decisively handed the ball to Conley, and then ran to the right baseline to maintain the rush threat.

Watching Randolph receive Conley's pass in the low post and ravage Peja, Ratliff didn't dare to completely pinch it, and Carlisle on the sidelines was in a heavy mood.

If you make a mistake, you will fall behind step by step!

Sun Ce's dunk on Howard's head last night put too much pressure on their Mavericks' interior line, and the reason why Conley was able to organize the offense so well in the first quarter relied on Sun Ce's ability to contain the interior line by standing in the middle range or low post.

Howard has been beaten like that, who dares to let Sun Ce go! Sun Ce had five or six consecutive outbreaks in the middle of last season!

At the beginning of the third quarter, it fell again, Rao is Carlisle's ability to adjust, and he also feels exhausted!

"You can't meet them so early in the playoffs!"
