758. Hurricane Night! (Chapter 1 4K)
Bullying future MVPs, it feels even cooler.
Now Sun Ce is stronger than Harden in all aspects, especially on offense, Sun Ce's ability is stronger than Harden, Sun Ce can also take advantage of all the favorable conditions, and most of the time he doesn't have to deliberately gesture to call tactics, and the cooperation with his teammates is already very tacit, and Harden is much worse than Sun Ce, there is already a gap in strength, all combined......
Harden led the team to play more than 6 minutes, 2 of 7 shots, 4 points and 1 assist, Sun Ce's side shot 2 of 2 for more than 6 minutes, 3 of 4 free throws, and got 7 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.
During that time, the Grizzlies went on a 15-8 run!
48-42, the Grizzlies led by six points in the first half of the second quarter.
In addition to Harden's 4 points, the Thunder only had Durant hit a rebound, and Muhammad made two free throws due to a foul on a cut and catch, and there were no other scores.
Harden officially became the team's sixth man after the Thunder traded Jeff Green away, but in about 25 minutes of playing time, he averaged just over two assists per game, not that he didn't pass well, but when he came up, usually when Durant was resting on the court.
As soon as Durant was rested and ready to start participating in the offense, Thunder head coach Brooks made a substitution, replacing Westbrook and the Thunder's highest-shooting three-point Daquin Cook with Nate Robinson and Harden.
The inside line has also been adjusted, with Ibaka and Mohammed partnered.
Harden was abused so much that he doubted his life, walked off the court miserably, and was scolded by the head coach, leading the team to play half a quarter, the head coach of the Thunder team did not give a good lineup, Durant could only contain the defense when he rested, and as soon as Westbrook came on the court, he arranged such a good lineup.
Sun Ce, as an opponent here, saw the players on the opposite bench standing up and taking off their training uniforms when he walked back to the bench, and they all felt the Thunder's different treatment of Westbrook and Harden.
After three seconds of silence for little Dengden, Sun Ce focused on the game.
Tonight, Sun Ce's shooting is a complete explosion, and he has 25 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, even if you don't look at the hemisphere, the data of 25 points and 5 assists is quite good for a point guard, and the shooting rate of 10 of 12 is simply amazing, after Sun Ce scored two goals in the second quarter, the Thunder team saw Sun Ce make shooting actions and subconsciously pounced, and was caused two shooting fouls by Sun Ce, Sun Ce did not finish the half, and the number of free throws today has reached 6 times, 6 free throws and 5 hits.
Sun Ce couldn't help but be sad, the last time he played against the Thunder, how difficult it was to make free throws with Durant, and he was almost beaten, but this time it was so easy.
Sun Ce returned to the bench, and Coach Hollins asked, "How's your fitness tonight?" ”
Sun Ce jumped, although he had been playing for more than 18 minutes in a row, he felt that he could still play, and he was not afraid that he would be too tired in the first half and he would not be able to play in the second half, so he said: "It's okay for me." ”
Coach Hollins was pleasantly surprised, I really can't tell if Sun Ce broke out today, because the game was too stable, and it was simply an explosion of hands.
Originally, their Grizzlies had a strength advantage against the Thunder, and they did a good job of defending the Thunder and their own offense, but the scores of the two teams in the first quarter were too high, if it weren't for Sun Ce's 18 points in a single quarter, facing Westbrook and Durant, who were in excellent condition today, the Grizzlies might not be able to fall behind by a big score, but fortunately, Sun Ce felt explosive.
Fortunately, in the first half of the second quarter, Sun Ce continued the feel of the first quarter, and the opponent's rotation was fascinating, obviously the rotation lineup became weaker, and he was stunned that he didn't give Harden a better teammate, and the Grizzlies took the opportunity to pull the Thunder's score down, and only let the Thunder score 8 points in half a quarter.
It's just that Sun Ce's smooth style of play, Coach Hollins can't figure out whether Sun Ce has broken out.
Now it seems...... Yes.
Coach Hollins sent on Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Paul George, Randolph and Gasol Jr. to try to defend that advantage.
……
After the timeout, on the Thunder's side, Durant and Westbrook began to exert their strength.
On the Grizzlies' side, Sun Ce and Randolph went all out to confront the opposite outside duo.
The key to the main players of the two teams is the effect of single defense, and they dare not easily wrap up, and do not want to let the opponent's role players get easy shooting opportunities.
With the help of his teammates and his own good hand, Sun Ce took advantage of the opponent's dare not easily pinch in the second half of the second quarter, continuing his previous performance, Randolph met Ibaka and Muhammad in the three-second zone, and did not insist on singles, but mainly grabbed offensive rebounds, plus Gasol Jr., who responded in the middle, cooperated tacitly.
It's easy on the Thunder's side, Westbrook and Durant take turns throwing!
Westbrook gave up a triple-double tonight, Sun Ce's side didn't finish the half 25+6+5, how to fight, head-to-head to grab rebounds will definitely not be able to grab Sun Ce, Westbrook chose to shoot hard, wanting to catch up with Sun Ce in terms of scoring and assists.
The third brother is easy to bully, after the eldest brother and the second brother came up, Sun Ce's side was under a lot of pressure, but fortunately, he had a 4-point lead, and the Grizzlies had a big advantage in their hearts, and Sun Ce and Randolph performed well, and the Thunder Twin Stars once again faced off.
In the second half of the second quarter, Durant scored 9 points alone, Westbrook also had 6 points and 3 assists, two of which were given to Durant, Durant hit two long two-point catches in a row, Paul George was going to be shot and cried, plus Sefrosa's catch-and-shoot layup, the Thunder scored 16 points in more than 5 minutes.
This hand feels up, and I really can't stop it.
Fortunately, on the Grizzlies' side, Sun Ce scored 15 points in a single quarter again in the second quarter!
Sun Ce got 8 points, 1 board and 1 assist in the second half, plus Randolph grabbed rebounds and occasionally singles and points to get 6 points, 3 boards and 1 assist, the Grizzlies not only did not fall behind in the second half of the second quarter, but also relied on the hard-working Paul George to receive a three-point shot from Randolph's pass, and scored 17 points in the first quarter!
At halftime, the Grizzlies led the Thunder by 7 points 65-58!
……
At halftime, Thunder head coach Brooks was frantic.
Durant played the full half, scoring 23 points, Westbrook also scored 23 points in the half, and the duo combined for 46 points.
And tonight's physical condition is well distributed, Brooks consciously allocated Durant's physical strength in the tactical arrangement, and only let Durant block Sun Ce's sudden basket in the first half of the second quarter, reducing Durant's physical exertion in the first half of the second quarter, and also using Ibaka and Perkins more reasonably, in terms of physical strength, their game was much better than the last time they played against the Grizzlies, and even the impact of back-to-back on them only appeared on Perkins.
And so far tonight, Durant has shot 9 of 15 and Westbrook has made 8 of 16, both of whom have very high shooting percentages, but they actually trailed by 7 points at halftime.
The sophomore on the other side threw and shot like that, 13-of-16 in the half, 7-of-10 from the free-throw line, and scored 33 points!
Obviously the performance was better than expected, but the game turned out to be exactly the same as the worst that was supposed to be the worst before the game.
The main lineup didn't have an advantage in the stage, and the rotation stage was abused, which was the last thing Brooks wanted.
Tonight is the fourth time that the Thunder team has played against the Grizzlies this season, the first three games, the Thunder team won 1-2, and the only one won was that Durant stretched the difference to 11 points in the first quarter.
But the first of the two losses was at the beginning of the season, when the Grizzlies were in surprisingly good shape, easily defeating the Thunder in their opening 11-game winning streak.
The last game was before the All-Star Weekend, after Randolph's mid-season recovery, when Durant was racing in the first three quarters, Randolph and Morrow fought against Randolph, and Sun Ce scored 10 points in the fourth quarter to take the game away.
The two games that the Thunder lost were because the main lineup didn't play an advantage, and Brooks encountered this situation again tonight, and it was the hell that Dewey didn't have an advantage when the two stars broke out, Sun Ce scored 33 points in the half, Randolph scored 16 points in the half, and the two of them combined were almost 50 points!
Brooks could only hope that Sun Ce's shooting performance slipped in the second half.
The reason for giving him this hope was that Sun Ce had a three-point attack in the first half, if it weren't for the fact that Sefrosa knocked Sun Ce down after Sun Ce threw the ball, Sun Ce's ball was a three-no-stick, but Sefrosa fouled and turned this shot into two free throws.
Moreover, Sun Ce missed two penalties!
It's not just Brooks who has this expectation, Durant expects Sun Ce's physical strength to collapse.
Durant is not that MVP player yet, he has reached the top player level, but he has played in the bad team for too many years, and he has not made the playoffs, plus his mentality is not strong enough, and when he encounters the opponent's outbreak, what he thinks in his heart is not that he wants hard steel, but that he expects the opponent to be physically exhausted and unable to play.
Westbrook, on the other hand, is a bit more rigid.
……
On the Grizzlies' side, Sun Ce exploded in the half, bringing tremendous confidence to his teammates and coaching staff.
Sun Ce's hand feels so good tonight, it's so good that it's against the sky!
In halftime, Sun Ce hit 6 mid-range shots on the right side of the three-second zone, 6 of 7 shots, 3 of 4 baseline hooks, 1 of 2 free throw line hooks, and 3 impacts to the basket!
7-of-10 free throws are average, barely passing, a little better than James, Wade and the future Lakers team-wide free throws, mainly because the last two free throws are missed, and the free throws in front of him are also better than the usual shooting rate of about 75 percent.
Although at first the teammates were worried that Sun Ce had fought too hard in the first half, after all, he played the whole first half, but when he saw Sun Ce return to the locker room, he ran to the bathroom with the clean jersey handed over by the caddy, and his teammates were shocked! Randolph felt a lot less pressure tonight.
Conley and Jason Williams are then seen going to the bathroom with towels...... Conley usually plays better and more organized in the second half when he goes to the bathroom for 10 minutes or so at halftime.
The teammates are a little curious, what is the magic of the bathroom?
Sun Ce, after wiping off his sweat and changing into a clean jersey, suddenly thought of something, he saw a system prompt during the game, but because the game was very tense, he didn't watch it.
With a thought, turn on the system screen......
"Congratulations to the host for improving his mid-range shooting evaluation on the right side of the three-second zone to an A-level."
"Due to the improvement of the host's mid-range shooting ability, the overall mid-range shooting evaluation has been improved to grade B."
"The host's overall shooting evaluation has been significantly improved, congratulations to the host for improving the overall shooting evaluation to grade B."
Finally improved!
After practicing for a long time, Sun Ce's overall evaluation of three points has reached the D- level, although there are few opportunities to show it in the game, and he is not so daring to shoot, but he has seen progress.
But the mid-pitcher has been stagnant for a long time in terms of ability evaluation, and after the right baseline hook hand is promoted to the A level of the first-class midstream level, it has not moved, and there is no movement after the free-throw line running hook reaches the A- level on the edge of the first-class level, and the right mid-range shot has stopped moving after reaching the good top B+ level.
I didn't expect that after the recent wave casting, it actually improved so quietly!
Sun Ce finally experienced the way the Thunder cultivated Durant, talented, trained and hard, and it just so happened that the team was a big bad team to give up the draft picks, so he threw it to Durant one by one.
Players need to be trained, and different players need different training methods, but that kind of god shooter-level player, even Curry, is still throwing a lot of it now, so that he will have the first three-point player in history in the future, and the current Curry, that is, the three-point shooting level of Ray Allen, who has good physical strength, does not have such excellent running ability as Ray Allen.
God pitchers are all made of iron.
Sun Ce also has a lot of shots, but the Grizzlies are generally a strong team, and this season is a strong team that wants to impact the regular season championship, so he can't mess around.
And Durant's rookie year is iron, his basic skills are better than Sun Ce's, and his shooting talent is obviously better, and his progress in shooting is definitely faster than Sun Ce's, and Sun Ce's shooting needs to be practiced from the most basic aspects.
And...... Even so, Sun Ce's progress already feels very exaggerated and incredible.
Sun Ce took a look at his latest ability evaluation.
"Competency assessment B+,
Physical fitness A-: Speed S-, Strength B, Endurance A-, Bounce C+, Leg Explosiveness A, Explosive Impact B......
Shooting evaluation B: three-point D-, mid-range B (mid-distance A on the right side of the baseline, mid-distance A on the front of the basket, mid-distance A-on the right side of the three-second zone, D+ in the rest of the position), layup A+......
Technical evaluation A-: A+ in possession, A+ in passing, B- in the jumper after blocking, A- after dribbling, C-in the pull-up jumper, B+ in the low post, B+ in the high post, in the high post ......"
It's getting closer and closer to the A-Rank on the edge of the top stars!
Sun Ce feels that today is a good day, he won the best of the month, is expected to hit the MVP, feels good, and his ability evaluation has improved!
As soon as my mind moved, the system prompt came.
"The host uses the Stamina Potion (Charged Version) to recover his stamina to the very beginning of the game, so please drink a large amount of energy drinks to replenish the electrolytes...... Stamina Flask (Charged) (0/3)......"
