1567. The Unstoppable Splash Brothers
Sun Ce had 19 points, 8 rebounds, 12 assists and 2 blocks in the half.
Klay Thompson had 27 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 steal in the half, including 21 points in the second quarter.
Paul George, 9 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals.
The fans didn't react to what was happening, and by the time they did, their team had already overtaken and led by 11 points at a considerable disadvantage!
Throughout the half-time, the fans were in a state of restlessness.
When the players returned to the court at halftime, the fans shouted "BEAT-LA".
There are also many fans shouting "Clay" or "Buddha" and "spray".
Sun Ce also felt very surprised, maybe Klay Thompson is the first player in NBA history to have such a high popularity purely by shooting three-pointers.
Reggie Miller and Ray Allen are both one notch weaker than Klay Thompson.
And Sun Ce and Curry are not pure three-point players, the two are all-round two-way guards or multi-point guards, when Ray Allen was at the peak of his popularity, he was also an all-round player, and it was not very high, Reggie Miller was only selected as an All-Star starter when Jordan retired, and that year, he was only more than 40,000 votes more than Mark Price, who got the third largest vote in the East.
Klay Thompson is truly the first player to gain a huge following purely from three points.
Looking at Sun Ce, who returned to the court after changing his jersey, Klay Thompson and Paul George, who were ready to continue playing, Yi Jianlian and Stoudemire's twin towers were ready to play...... The fans at the scene are dry!
They can see that their own team wants to crush the opponent in one fell swoop in the third quarter!
And Sun Ce and the others really want to do this!
They can't afford to spend it, and although they lead by 12 points, if they choose to hold on to the difference...... The Lakers in the third quarter of this season, after they got through the run-in period of the opening game, it was called a horror!
Just look at the time from the beginning of the game to the 5 minutes and 11 seconds of the second quarter in the first half, the Grizzlies tried very hard to chase the points, but they couldn't catch up.
Steady and steady will not work, you can only fight!
Seeing the upcoming five-man group of the Grizzlies unabashedly come to the court wearing their jerseys and not putting on their training uniforms, the Lakers felt a lot of pressure!
I didn't expect this to happen at all, even Kobe Bryant, I didn't expect such a thing to happen.
Did the Lakers play badly?
No, they played pretty well, hitting 53 percent from the field, 26 of 49, and a beep of efficiency! With few free throws, 64 points at halftime.
Didn't the Lakers defend well?
No, the Lakers once played a 14-9 score in the first half of the quarter.
No one on the Lakers stepped up at a critical moment?
Not even more!
Kobe Bryant scored 22 points at halftime, James had 15 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, and the role players also shot well, and Leonard also scored 9 points.
But Klay Thompson was 7-of-7 from three-point range in the first quarter! Helped the Grizzlies score 35 points in less than seven minutes...... They scored 35 points in the second quarter......
Even Kobe Bryant wants to scold the street when he sees such a situation!
As. Gary Payton, the NBA basketball presenter on T Network TV, couldn't help but laugh into the microphone when he saw Kobe Bryant's expression staring at Klay Thompson: "Kobe Bryant, you also have today!" You know how painful I was when I scored nine threes in a row on my head, right? You can feel the pain too! ”
……
The third quarter was about to begin, and Coach Hollins was on a rollercoaster ride, slowly climbing to the top from the first half of the first quarter, and then being beaten 14-9 and falling directly to the bottom...... Just when I thought it was going to be over, I suddenly jumped straight into the sky as if I had installed a rocket!
Now, Coach Hollins doesn't know if this wave of firepower can directly rush out of the atmosphere and take away the game in one wave, or fall down again and fall harder.
However, how can you win without fighting?
As it was time to play, Coach Hollins emphasized tactics, and the starting five in the third quarter came on.
On the other hand, the Lakers could only let the starting lineup go up at the beginning of the third quarter.
After the start of the third quarter, the Grizzlies continued to soar!
Coach Hollins's worries are superfluous, Sun Ce + double 3D, the current overall strength is inferior, but the talent is not lost to the opposite side at all!
Unlike Sun Ce's relatively simple tactics in the second half of the second quarter, the coaching staff made more detailed adjustments to the onslaught strategy that Sun Ce came up with.
Klay Thompson is responsible for scoring and containment, helping teammates contain defense; Sun Ce and Paul George are responsible for passing the ball and getting assists, while Stoudemire, Yi Jianlian, and Klay Thompson also have to shoot, and Sun Ce and Paul George have the opportunity to cut or pull away to shoot.
On the defensive end, the twin towers guarded the basket, blocking the three points of Kobe Bryant, Leonard, and Ci Shiping on the opposite side, and it didn't matter if he couldn't prevent it from the middle distance, anyway, Sun Ce didn't hesitate to make up for the defense everywhere with his physical strength, and he could defend it if he could.
Sun Ce was in charge of blocks and rebounds, and worked steals with Paul George.
The firepower of the Grizzlies is overwhelming the Lakers, and the key to the Grizzlies' offensive and defensive strategy is Klay Thompson's three points!
After 1 three-pointer in the first quarter and 7 three-pointers in the second quarter, Klay Thompson scored 4 more three-pointers in the third quarter, plus a long two-point shot and a three-point fouled free throw, and after the third quarter, Klay Thompson scored 44 points!
After 33 minutes of playing time, 14 of 20 shots, including 12 of 16 three-pointers, plus 4 of 5 free throws, Klay Thompson finished the third quarter and scored 44 points!
In the third quarter, the Lakers' offense was okay, but when Klay Thompson suddenly broke out and scored two three-pointers in a row, Sun Ce followed up with a three-pointer, the Lakers' offense was greatly affected.
Klay Thompson made 12 three-pointers in the third quarter, becoming the fifth player in NBA history to make at least 12 three-pointers in a single game after Kobe, Don Yell Marshall, Sun Ce, and Curry!
Sun Ce finished the third quarter, and only scored 10 points in the first 1 quarter and 5 minutes and 11 seconds, first he forced a three-point shot to drive Klay Thompson, and then he was constantly fed back by Klay Thompson, and in the second quarter of 1 quarter and 6 minutes and 49 seconds, he easily scored 18 points, played the first three quarters, and soared 28 points, 11 boards, 15 assists, 4 blocks and 1 steal.
After the Lakers' offense was affected and they were in a hurry, Sun Ce angrily took 2 hats and 1 steal!
Paul George finished the third quarter and also got 13 points, 4 boards, 5 assists and 3 steals!
Under Klay Thompson's 15-point performance in the third quarter, the Grizzlies played a 35-27 score in the third quarter, and at the end of the third quarter, the Grizzlies led the Lakers by 110-91 points!
