1497. The Lord Says You Can Rest (Part 5)
After Coach Hollins heard Sun Ce's words, although he felt his heart pumping, that dead kid always had some bold ideas.
However, Coach Hollins found this idea tempting!
After thinking about it for a while, Coach Hollins sent a combination of Sun Ce, Beverley, Klay Thompson, Richard Jeff, and Yi Jianlian to continue to rush!
Back from the timeout, on the Spurs' side, Parker, Patrick Mills, Gay, Dior, and Split came on the court.
Popovich strictly followed the rotation as planned, but Ginobili, who was supposed to play when Duncan was rested, was not replaced, and Mills, who played well in the first half and made one three-pointer.
Split was also brought on to strengthen the defense, and he estimated that the opponent would put a few players from the best offensive lineup on the bench to rest and play the last moments.
Then the first few minutes of the fourth quarter are their Spurs' chance to close the gap!
However, looking at the opposite lineup, Paul George, who played 30 minutes in the first three quarters, went to rest, but the other four didn't go down!
That Beverley is also a defensive titan who can advance through the half court and shoot three-pointers!
……
At this time, it is a risky behavior for the Grizzlies to continue to let Yi Jianlian play, at present, Yi Jianlian is the best inside line in their team, and he is also the only player who can make a contribution in the interior line that can play, and he should be left to play at critical moments.
The reason for this choice, in addition to the irrepressible desire to do things, Coach Hollins also predicted that the other party might predict that they would replace Gasol Jr., which was originally what Coach Hollins wanted to do.
As a result, after the start of the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies formed a lineup difference with the opposing team!
The opponent's lineup, if they have Gasol Jr. on their side and can't speed up as a whole, the Spurs can defend well, at least they can form an internal and external defensive connection.
But the Grizzlies didn't use Gasol Jr., so it was different, Sun Ce and Klay Thompson led the team to score 5 points in a row at the beginning of the fourth quarter, playing a wave of 5-3, expanding the difference to 11 points!
Popovich is also a ruthless man, called a timeout after playing 1 minute, replaced Split, leaving only Dio an inside line, Parker, Mills, Belinelli, Gay, Dior's lineup played.
Popovich did a good job of coping with it, but on Sun Ce's side, he was already hi, but now the opponent doesn't even have the basic defense on the inside, and he is playing even more!
But all the skills that can be used will come to the side when they have the opportunity, and after Sun Ce scored 6 points in a row to improve his personal score to 38 points, the Spurs could only start to pinch the attack.
The Spurs are out of line on the defensive end, if the Grizzlies don't feel so good, they can still have a way to defend in a targeted manner, but Sun Ce shoots away, and Klay Thompson has 6 three-pointers in the third quarter, and the two are contained on the outside, unable to form an effective zone defense.
When the Spurs began to flank Sun Ce's breakthrough, Yi Jianlian and Richard Jefferson had the opportunity to cut in......
The Spurs, for their part, could only rely on offense to support themselves.
When it was 4 minutes and 22 seconds into the fourth quarter, Guy missed a layup on Sun Ce, and Sun Ce protected the defensive rebound and counterattacked!
After the center circle, Sun Ce borrowed Richard Jefferson to block and dismantle in the middle of the march, rushed to the three-point line, looked at the 13-point difference, and chose to chase the three-point shot......
Give it a go, turn a bicycle into a motorcycle, this time, Sun Ce made the right bet!
Feeling hot, he hit the fourth three-point shot of the game!
16 points difference!
At this time, the Spurs did not call a timeout, quickly served, counterattacked, and Belinelli received the ball and shot a three-point shot.
This shot was too hasty, Belinelli just got rid of Klay Thompson, and Beverley was in place!
Belinelli's three-point shot missed, and Yi Jianlian, who rushed back to defend, just grabbed the defensive rebound, and immediately passed it to Sun Ce, who counterattacked!
Find Klay Thompson!
Klay Thompson's side also actively went down, Sun Ce made a long pass, Klay Thompson received the ball on the left touchline, and couldn't get rid of Mills' pursuit.
But it doesn't matter, Klay Thompson relied on his height advantage and the strong confidence that somehow emerged in his heart at this moment, catching the ball and chasing three-point shots......
Mills was very close, and due to the height disadvantage, he subconsciously pressed up, and Klay Thompson just threw the ball and gave Mills a knock.
The referee's whistle blew and Mills fouled Klay Thompson's shot!
With the whistle, Klay Thompson's three-pointer hit the blue frame and fell into the frame!
The referee gestured, Klay Thompson three points were effective, and he had to add a penalty!
114 to 95...... Relying on the three-point connection of Sun Ce and Klay Thompson, the Grizzlies stretched the difference to 19 points in one fell swoop, and there was also a free throw!
The Spurs bench, the troika looked at Klay Thompson as he got up, and they knew they were leaving work early tonight.
At this time, Klay Thompson, who got up, turned to face the Spurs bench, folded his hands in front of the troika, and bowed slightly.
After everyone on the scene focused their attention here, Klay Thompson felt a little ashamed, but he felt the urge in his heart to do things so cool! It's so cool that you haven't done it yet!
Clay Thompson saw the action camera approaching, and with a heart of shame and excitement, he said loudly: "The lord said that the three veterans can rest tonight, and we are carrying out the love and justice of respecting the old and loving the young!" ”
"Beep ......"
This time the referee couldn't bear it, Sun Ce sprayed all night, they couldn't do anything with Sun Ce, this time the whistle sounded continuously and started the Buddha removal operation!
……
The Grizzlies led the Spurs by 18 points 115-97 after Paul George was substituted and made free throws in place of ejected Klay Thompson and Mills executed two technical foul free throws from Klay Thompson's ejection.
With 7 minutes left and 18 points behind, it's not a complete chance to chase it.
However, even if the opposite side was sent out for a player who made seven three-pointers in a single game, the Spurs did not continue to send Duncan up, and Popovich chose to surrender.
Sun Ce on the opposite side has 41 points!
From playing 18 minutes in the first half and getting a 15+3+3 performance of 6 of 14, to 34 minutes, Sun Ce has become 15 of 27 shots, including 4 of 9 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, 41 points, 13 boards, 11 assists, 3 blocks and 3 steals...... Still fighting? Do you want to be willing to be taken by the other party with a 50+ triple pair?
Popovich thinks that he can do this kind of thing by continuing to fight Sun Ce!
The Spurs called a timeout after a technical foul and switched on a combination of Mills, Nando De Colo, Austin Daye, Bonner and Baines.
Sun Ce looked at the confusion of Clay's little brother being sent out, and when he saw the other side calling a timeout, he knew that tonight's performance time was over, which also means that the opening game has won five consecutive victories and achieved it!
