722. I'm waiting for you in front (1st Update, Big Chapter Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Sun Ce jumped up directly, excitedly bumping his chest with Gasol Jr., who rushed up.
Everyone didn't expect that Sun Ce, who was still leaning limply on Sai Rosa to observe the formation just a few seconds ago, suddenly broke out!
It's really not high, and the impact is not very strong, but it's too shocking to watch!
Perkins was detained as if he had lost his soul, he didn't expect to be detained at all! It's not that he hasn't been detained, but this time it's completely unexpected.
A few seconds ago, Sun Ce was still looking for an opportunity in the top arc, Perkins didn't even know when Sun Ce passed the ball out and then cut in, at that moment Gasol Jr. was just about to go around from the right side of the three-second zone to the left side of the three-second zone, Perkins used brute force to force Gasol Jr. to go to the bottom line instead of going around the reasonable collision zone, so as to avoid Gasol Jr. getting a high position, just such a small action, just such a hole in less than three seconds to defend the outside line, Sun Ce predicted!
Moreover, Conley actually dared to pass it on!
Perkins couldn't even get angry, he felt that these two were simply crazy!
Not only Perkins thought so, but Sephrosa also thought so, he couldn't have imagined that it would be such a cooperation anyway, and the Jenway combination would not play like this!
Maybe it's the sophomore in Los Angeles who can do it.
Sun Ce stepped onto the free throw line, took a deep breath to calm his excitement, and at the beginning of the second quarter, he gave the team a good start!
Originally, as soon as the confrontation came up, the Grizzlies were in a heavy mood, and there was a feeling that they were going to enter the iron and blood war again.
Although the Grizzlies players are not averse to the Iron Battle, they played so well in the first quarter, and they always felt a little uncomfortable when they switched to the Iron and Blood Style.
But Sun Ce's dunk, everyone on the Grizzlies team, including himself, thinks: Just defend, just be strong! We're just that!
It feels really good today, Sun Cejia also hit the free throw, and he made 4 of 5 free throws!
Offense and defense switched, and the Thunder attacked.
Nate Robinson started playing alone after advancing to the frontcourt, and Conley became extremely steady on the defensive end, as if he were two people with the big but passing the ball just now.
Nate Robinson, a master of chaos, came up to score, and had no intention of organizing an offense at all, Durant and Ibaka stayed on the court mainly to contain the defense and give Nate Robinson a chance to play alone.
Conley was well aware of this, and his solid defense didn't give Nate Robinson too good a chance to break through.
Sure enough, as Conley expected, Nate Robinson broke through to no avail, and just pulled it up and threw it!
Conley gave a steady jam, and Nate Robinson missed a three-pointer from the top arc!
Ibaka was stuck by Battier, and Sun Ce pressed Durant, who rushed inside to grab the board, to grab the defensive rebound.
It's already hi, Sun Ce immediately fought back!
Sefrosa is really a good player, he didn't touch the ball twice after playing for so long, and he didn't feel deflated at all on the defensive end, the first one to retreat back, seeing Sun Ce rushing over, Sefrosa was broken in his heart, Sun Ce looked thin, but he was a tall man of more than 90 kilograms, and he really couldn't defend himself against rushing in at such a speed.
Fortunately, Ibaka, who came back from the pursuit, took it back, and Sefrosa stood outside the reasonable collision area, wanting to force Sun Ce to change direction or simply block Sun Ce to create a chance for Ibaka to interfere.
At this time, Sun Ce passed the ball, the left sideline!
Although Battier's speed was already about the same as Ibaka's, the two rushed to the three-point line at the same time, Sun Ce just threw the ball to the left sideline, and Battier just got there!
After receiving the ball, Battier turned around and made a three-point shot to meet the rushing back Nate Robinson...... Also in!
The Grizzlies went on a 6-0 run at the beginning of the second quarter to stretch the gap to 9 points!
It's already high!
It had only been played for less than 1 minute, and the Thunder did not call a timeout.
After Nate Robinson advanced to the frontcourt, Durant struggled to get the ball from Tony Allen, and Nate Robinson immediately passed it to the boss.
Durant is ready to come on his own, however, Tony Allen's confrontation and defense are more than a notch higher than Paul George's! Durant beat Paul George and took some effort to beat Paul George, but he had already encountered a full quarter of confrontation in the first quarter, and in the second quarter, he encountered a sudden increase in confrontation, Durant was iron!
The ball smashed straight into the neck of the basket and bounced upwards, and Gasol Jr. relied on his height advantage to snatch the rebound from Perkins' head!
Gasol Jr.'s vision was speechless, he grabbed the rebound and turned around and threw it, Conley received the ball at the free throw line, the setter threw it to the front court, and Sun Ce had already run to the middle circle!
When Sun Ce saw Durant being forced to throw the ball by Tony Allen, he judged that the ball was crooked!
When he received the ball, Sefrosa and Nate Robinson were chasing Sun Ce, Sun Ce rushed all the way to the basket, and when Sefrosa pressed up to fight and Nate Robinson was ready to interfere with the air with what may be the best bounce in the league, Sun Ce threw the ball to the left 45-degree angle, this time it was Conley!
Conley received the ball, did not hesitate, and made a three-point shot......
"Huh"
Again!
9 to 0!
40-28, the Grizzlies stretched the difference to 12 points as soon as they came up in the second quarter!
Thunder head coach Brooks couldn't help but call a timeout.
How could it be a 9-0 run by the Grizzlies?
Sun Ce came up with 3 points, 1 board and 2 assists, how to play?
I could only replace Westbrook in advance, and I was ready to let Westbrook play the whole second half, and the first half was rested for a quarter or so, but now I can only play it early.
Westbrook watched Sun Ce play more than 13 minutes, and he had 10 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists...... Idol!
Even if the opponent is almost a year younger than him, the strength + ball quotient shown by the opponent makes Westbrook have to admire.
……
In terms of the strength shown so far, the Grizzlies are definitely better than the Thunder.
Even the Nuggets, at this stage, are stronger than the Thunder.
The Thunder held on for the first time, relying purely on Durant's roof defense against Tony Allen and Paul George, and was able to score 17 points in a single quarter with a super-high 7-of-12 shooting percentage from close range and a 3-of-5 free throw.
The last time the Grizzlies lost to the Thunder, it was Durant who played such a good performance and calmed down the Grizzlies.
But this time the Grizzlies have experience, are not afraid, do what they have to do, don't panic, and do a good job defending the rest of the Thunder.
Of course, the key point...... It's not Sun Ce, Sun Ce just did what he had to do at the expense of his physical strength, and he only scored 7 points in the first quarter, the key is that in the first quarter, Morrow made two three-pointers in a single quarter, and Paul George had a three-pointer; After the start of the second quarter, it was even more incredible, Battier, Conley, and Morrow, who was later rotated on the court, continued the feel of the first quarter!
In the second quarter, Sun Ce came up to detonate the team's morale by blocking Perkins, which is definitely the most important part, Sun Ce dared to detain a villain like Perkins like that, and others were swept away because of the anxiety of entering the iron-blooded battle.
Even if the Thunder re-replaced Westbrook and sent out a starting lineup, they couldn't withstand the attack of the Grizzlies who had gone crazy!
Coach Hollins didn't expect Sun Ce to put on a fat hairband and start to exert power, in fact, Sun Ce also sent a threat to Parkins once, but just this one, let him rush into the interior to contain the defense, no one wants to encounter such bad luck as Perkins again.
Coach Hollins did a great job in rotation, Conley, Battier, Morrow's three three-pointers alternately played, and after Durant left the court in the middle of the second quarter, the Grizzlies replaced Yi Jianlian and Jordan Jr., and because the outside shot was opened, the players who cut in also played very well!
In the second quarter, the Grizzlies scored 34-22 in a single quarter!
65-50, halftime, the Grizzlies lead by 15 points into halftime!
Even Thunder fans can see that they can carry the Grizzlies who are in excellent form tonight for the first time, purely on Durant.
Many fans watched the live broadcast of the Grizzlies and Nuggets game the night before yesterday and studied the opponents.
The fact is also true, at least at this stage, the Nuggets, who are all soldiers, perform better than the Thunder, otherwise the Nuggets will not overtake the Thunder to play fourth in the West.
Another point, the game against the Nuggets the day before yesterday allowed the Grizzlies to find a state that they hadn't had for a long time in the middle of the season, and the full-court confrontation with the Nuggets made it easier for the Grizzlies to play tonight than that night!
Of course, Sun Ce did not hesitate to play the first half with all his strength, which is also one of the reasons!
……
At halftime, the head coaches of the two teams have their own arrangements, and the Grizzlies' side, the main thing is whether Sun Ce's side can play.
When Sun Ce changed his jersey and came out of the bathroom, Coach Hollins was shocked and sent Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Morrow, Randolph, and Gasol Jr. to the starting lineup for tonight's game.
At halftime, the players of both teams returned to the court.
Looking at the rejuvenated Sun Ce, Westbrook's brain hurts.
He really thinks he is stronger than Sun Ce!
If he wants to average 20 points per game, he will score it early, which is much better than Sun Ce's grinding for half a season to stabilize his average of more than 20 points per game.
He averaged 8 assists per game last season, and Sun Ce's average of 7 assists per game is not so easy.
But every time he met Sun Ce, Westbrook felt like his brain exploded.
He didn't know what it was, every time Sun Ce beat them, it was like Athena's light shining on the small universe and bursting out, fighting from beginning to end.
And in the last game against the Nuggets, Sun Ce obviously rested for so long!
Westbrook played 18 minutes in the half, scoring 9 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, which is almost his normal performance, and he can play a normal performance against the Grizzlies' defense, and the assists are two or three higher than the average halftime performance, which is already considered a good performance.
But on Sun Ce's side, when they played 13 minutes, they already had 10 points, 5 boards and 8 assists, and at the end of the half, they had 14 points, 8 boards and 10 assists!
On the Thunder's side, Westbrook, Meno, Durant, Ibaka, and Muhammad played.
The third quarter began, and Durant, who had rested for half a quarter, began to score points.
On the Grizzlies' side, Randolph, who had rested for a full quarter and a half, began to exert his might!
Sun Ce has 10 assists, just chisel the ball to Randolph, run and make a cutting gesture to contain Durant's defense, Morrow and Gasol Jr. have shooting ability, especially Morrow, 4 three-pointers in the half scored 12 points, and the Thunder trailed by 15 points at halftime.
Durant is worthy of being one of the strongest scoring players in the league today, regardless of physical strength, the third quarter soared, in the first quarter of 17 points, 21 points in the half, the third quarter of the angry 15 points, three quarters have been 36 points.
But in this quarter, Durant's efficiency was far less than in the first half, only 6 of 13 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, of course, the shooting percentage was not bad, but compared with his performance in the first quarter, his performance declined, and the Thunder were unable to chase points.
And the ferocity on Randolph's side is not lost to Durant tonight!
Randolph had 13 points and 3 rebounds in a single quarter, and actually had two assists!
In the third quarter, the Grizzlies played a single quarter score of 24-22! At the end of the third quarter, the Grizzlies led by 17 points at 89-72 and went into the intermission!
With the exception of Durant's 15 points, the rest of the Thunder scored just seven points in the third quarter, and the more Durant shot, the more the others stagnated.
Sun Ce really feels that the Thunder team is not as good as the Nuggets in all aspects, except for Durant, and Westbrook is powerful, but at present, he is simply powerful in terms of comprehensiveness, and in terms of efficiency, Sun Ce feels that Lowry, who averages 14 points per game, is better, and Lowry has a clearer mind.
Sun Ce only had 4 points and 1 assist in this quarter, focusing on defense and grabbing rebounds, and on the offensive end there was Randolph, who had been playing hard lately!
In order to make the All-Star team, Randolph worked hard, and it was a good thing for the team!
Sun Ce's 5 rebounds and two blocks in a single quarter, and the targets of the two blocks were Westbrook, who desperately broke through the ball when Durant couldn't move!
After the third quarter, Sun Ce played 36 minutes and scored 18 points, 13 boards, 11 assists and 3 blocks!
Triple double for the 11th time of the season!
Westbrook, played 30 minutes in the third quarter, got 11 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, except for a lower score, rebounds and assists reached the average, of course, it was only reached, the original half-time super level play, the third quarter was not able to continue.
……
After the start of the fourth quarter, the two teams still had some main players on the court, the Thunder's side, Westbrook, Durant, and Harden finally got the opportunity to play, and Daequinn Cook, Nick Collison played together.
With a 17-point difference, the Thunder did not give up.
On the Grizzlies' side, Randolph chiseled a quarter and went down to rest, Sun Ce, Conley, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, and Jordan Jr. came up to press the lineup.
In the third quarter, Sun Ce's style of play changed...... Hug like holding a bag of explosives and rush under the basket to find a confrontation!
Didn't use the rules to make fouls, but looked for confrontation to make free throws!
Westbrook, on the other hand, is frantically trying to grab rebounds.
One for free throws, one for rebounds.
But despite this, the Thunder's side also lost hope of chasing points.
Durant can't move!
Westbrook is not that MVP-caliber player at the moment, and Harden is coming up now, and he has no chance to organize the offense.
Halfway through the fourth quarter, although the score difference was not stretched to more than 20 points, Randolph was not there on the Grizzlies' side, and there was no morale in the second quarter, and it was really difficult to continue to open the point difference.
But it didn't let the Thunder narrow the difference!
With 5 minutes and 28 seconds left, Durant received a three-way pass from Westbrook and threw a three-way out of bounds into the official timeout, and Coach Hollins replaced Sun Ce.
In this half quarter, Sun Ce found an opportunity to cut in and score two points, resulting in a foul and 3 of 4 free throws to score 3 points, plus 2 boards and 1 block, although there was no assist, but the performance was okay.
Coach Hollins pressed with Jason Williams and Conley, Paul George and Morrow up front, and Haddadi at center.
The Thunder also gave up, and Durant came up in the fourth quarter with all 4 shots, and he really couldn't move.
At 13-12 in the first quarter, the Thunder only caught up with a one-point difference, 85-101, with less than five and a half minutes left, and there was no hope, and the lineup of Nate Robinson, Meno, Harden, Muhammad, and Nick Collison was replaced.
Sun Ce sat on the bench and watched Conley take the initiative to give the ball to Paul George to practice singles and the opposite Harden, who only has a chance to play singles in garbage time, these are the two MVP favorites in the future!
After working together for half a season, Paul George's talent is really good, and although regular time will not be used to develop Paul George, garbage time will still give a chance.
Sun Ce played 42 and a half minutes in the game, 8 of 15 shots, 9 of 11 free throws, and tonight's free throw shooting rate was above average, with 25 points, 15 boards, 12 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals!
Most of the stats were concentrated in the first half, especially in the second quarter, and he played too well.
When watching garbage time, Sun Ce was analyzing where to win tonight.
While watching the rookies of the two future MVPs pecking each other, Sun Ce thought about it and felt that the points of winning were mainly in two points.
The first is that there is a problem with the head coach of the Thunder team!
Usually watching Thunder games, although Harden is not reused, his ability to connect teams is actually better than Westbrook's breakthrough shot!
Although Westbrook has more assists in breaking through and helping his teammates create better shooting opportunities than Harden, when Westbrook breaks through, except for Durant who will run to find a pot, everyone else is standing, and once Westbrook is blocked from passing space, there is a high probability of mistakes when thrown out, averaging 3.9 turnovers per game for the most in the league, there is a reason, sometimes opponents can guess that Westbrook wants to pass.
Although Harden's turnover rate is also very high, he is relatively organizing the offense in the way of organizing point guards, and his teammates will run with him, which is usually important to the Thunder.
Then there is the issue of the distribution of Durant's physical strength, and his scoring is concentrated in the first and third quarters.
Sun Ce feels that this is where the Thunder can take advantage of the Thunder before Westbrook, Harden, and Ibaka have not further developed......
Of course, their own side played really well on offense today, continuing the form of the last game against the Nuggets, especially Randolph, whose performance was particularly explosive.
Morrow, Conley, and Battier combined for 10 three-pointers in a single game, and the last time they made 10 three-pointers in a single game was in December.
At 8:53, the final whistle blew, and the Grizzlies defeated the Thunder 109-95 with Sun Cehao's triple-double, Randolph's 19-minute playing time and 25 points, and Morrow's 6-of-9 three-pointers plus 2-of-3 free throws to score 20 points in a single game, the Grizzlies defeated the Thunder 109-95 and won five consecutive victories!
When the final whistle sounded, Sun Ce's system prompt came, and both events were completed!
But at this time, the reporter asked for a post-game interview, and Sun Ce went to be interviewed first.
This played a good performance, won the game, when asked about tonight's performance, Sun Ce first boasted to Randolph: "Tonight we won Zack is the key, without him we may have fallen behind in the first half of the first quarter, he gave us confidence, 19 minutes and 25 points...... I feel like God has gained weight tonight...... Eh, don't hit anyone, Zach! I'm complimenting you. ”
19 minutes and 25 minutes, Sun Ce's eyes turned red when he saw it, he didn't use the star experience card to play 42 minutes to 25 points! Don't make fun of Randolph's size.
When asked about the 11th triple-double of the season, Sun Ce floated up again and replied: "Russell is almost able to catch up with me, just a little, it seems to be only 4 triple-doubles, I hope he can come on!" I'll go and wait for him to win the MVP first, and hopefully he'll be faster, Derrick and I can't wait for him...... Durant? Is he among the MVP candidates? He seems to have scored zero points in the fourth quarter, are you mistaken......"
