909. The atypical outbreak of the little overlord! (2nd Update: Commuter Pass)
Sun Ce averaged 0.65 three-pointers per game this season, a total of 21, and shot more, sometimes four or five into one, and there were only two games in which he threw more than three three-pointers, most of the time he tried to shoot one, and if he couldn't get in, he didn't shoot, and these 21 three-point shots were shot a total of 68 times - a 31 percent three-point shooting rate.
Even if Sun Ce made 4 three-pointers in the last game, the Spurs still regarded him as a three-point black hole second only to Tony Allen on the outside of the Grizzlies, and there was really no way to treat Sun Ce as a three-point threat, except for the Thunder, other teams really couldn't treat a player with a 31 percent three-point shooting percentage as a key defensive object outside the three-point line, and they didn't personally feel the despair of the Thunder.
The current lineup of the Spurs is considered a five-small lineup, Blair and Klay Thompson are about the same height, and they do a good job of shrinking and pinching defenses, when Nash and Jordan Jr. blocked and dismantled, they took the defense away, and Guy let go of Sun Ce to make up for Nash's shot, and Sun Ce didn't make it to the three-point line and no one cared about him.
Sun Ce took the initiative to run to the place where he shot the most accurately yesterday, outside the three-point line on the right side of the top arc, Nash was caught and passed the ball to Sun Ce, who received the ball and tried to shoot a ...... Entered!
20-13, the Grizzlies didn't expect to expand the margin to more than 5 points so easily, and lead by 7 points!
From the beginning of playing the Nuggets, Sun Ce's hand was very good, and although he failed to score a killer goal against the Nuggets, the whole performance was actually very good.
When I played the Thunder, I started to go crazy, and when I played the Spurs, I felt like it was already here, and I couldn't stop it!
When it came to the Spurs' offense, the Spurs created a three-point opportunity in the last round, which scared the Grizzlies' side, even if Richard Jefferson didn't score, the Grizzlies also understood what the other side was going to do, this is the ninth three-point master in the league so far this season, better than all their Grizzlies three-point shooters, Paul George, who has made the most three-pointers this season, averages 1.7 three-pointers per game, Nash 1.5, and Klay Thompson is 1.4.
Instead of trying to see if Richard Jefferson could shoot, the Grizzlies decisively blocked Richard Jefferson and George Hill's two three-pointers.
What the Spurs want is not how many shots these two three-pointers can make, but to use their three-point threat to play the team's offense, and not to point at Duncan to score like in the first half of the quarter, and Duncan has gone down to rest.
With Gay's mid-range and Richard Jefferson and George Hill's two three-pointers, the Grizzlies' defensive lineup was not able to block Parker's breakaway layup.
At 15-20, Parker helped the Spurs narrow the gap to five points.
It's the Spurs offense again, and Richard Jefferson, George Hill has a clear threat, Sun Ce has a clear three-point black hole tendency, he needs to start from the three-point line when he holds the ball, after all, the speed is fast, can't give him speed, and Westbrook, Rose and others are different, Sun Ce's size, dare not give speed space.
But if Sun Ce stands outside the three-point line when he doesn't hold the ball, Guy who defends him goes to make up for Nash, Sun Ce receives the ball, adjusts the shot in the same position, and no one makes it up.
Sun Ce felt good when he threw it, just like he felt when he shot a goal in training......
It's in again!
Sun Ce scored another three points!
This time Parker was a little out of control, after advancing, in the face of Nash's defense pretending to break through, Nash decisively took two steps back, defended hard, Parker got a three-point opportunity, stepped back and made a three-point shot......
Don't enter!
Sun Ce borrowed the twin tower card position to block the rushing Guy and Blair to receive the defensive rebound, passed to Nash, the Grizzlies attacked, Sun Ce took the initiative to open up space outside the three-point line this time, Guy went to make up for Nash and Jordan Jr.'s blocking for the first time, but when Nash distributed the ball to Sun Ce, Richard Jefferson made up for it as soon as possible.
Sun Ce dipped a shot, Richard Jefferson jumped, Sun Ce quickly burst inside, George Hill of Klay Thompson on the sideline recovered, Sun Ce immediately distributed the ball to Klay Thompson, who received the ball and made a three-point shot......
This big gap, Klay Thompson grasped!
26 to 15, the difference was stretched to 11 points!
The Grizzlies went on a 9-2 run!
In less than two minutes, the margin was stretched to double digits, and Popovich called a timeout again!
……
has been watching others explode, personally experienced Jennings' career-best single performance, and witnessed the birth of Lin Madness...... Now, it's his grandson's turn!
After the first quarter, Sun Ce scored 15 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, and made 3 of 4 three-point shots! Helped the Grizzlies take a 10-point lead at 34-24 into the second quarter.
After the start of the second quarter, the Spurs adjusted and played more decisively and more consistently on the offensive end.
At one point, the Spurs narrowed the deficit to four points in the seventh minute of the second quarter.
But after Sun Ce, who rested for 7 minutes at the beginning of the second quarter, came back from an official timeout, his hand continued to be hot, and he hit a three-point shot to reopen the difference to more than 5 points, and led the team to maintain a lead of more than 5 points.
At the end of the first half, the Grizzlies led the Spurs by eight points at 59-51 and went into halftime.
21 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 block in the half, Sun Ce's scoring efficiency in the second 5 minutes of the second quarter was not as good as in the first quarter, only 5 points, but it brought a huge threat to the Spurs, and the Spurs could only defend him, and he sent 4 assists in 5 minutes!
Rao was the Spurs who allowed Duncan to play the entire quarter in the second quarter, but they couldn't narrow the margin too much, only recovering a two-point difference.
That was too much of a blow for the Spurs, and Popovich once again didn't know what to do when the game was at a disadvantage.
After the start of the second half, Popovich could only rest Duncan, who played more than 18 minutes in the first half, continued to play in the third quarter, and did not play in the fourth quarter.
And Duncan played too hard today, 19 points and 6 boards in the half, Duncan has the strength to concentrate his physical strength, and it is not very surprising to score 19 points in the half, but Duncan should not play like this at his current age.
But Duncan didn't play like this, and they couldn't recover the two-point difference in the second quarter!
Sun Ce is hi now! 4-of-5 three-pointers in the half, he really wanted to shout: Who else!
Sun Ce learned how Jennings shot and how he felt, roughly understood what kind of mentality Nowitzki had after playing like that in the playoffs last year, and felt Jeremy Lin's absolute confidence in Lin's crazy state......
That's how it feels! The feeling of being out of shape!
After the start of the second half, Sun Ce played more freely, and the Spurs had to defend against Sun Ce's three points, so when Nash rested, Gasol Jr. shot and contained, Neil and Paul George pulled away on both sides, Sun Ce painted a tiger, and Yi Jianlian played blocking and dismantling, playing a beautiful half-quarter positional battle offensive and defensive.
The Spurs' defense began to collapse, don't prevent Sun Ce from three points, Sun Ce can really score, after blocking and dismantling, Sun Ce scored one in the third quarter, and the Spurs couldn't change the defense when blocking and dismantling, Guy and Danny Green, who was rotated on the court, could only squeeze up, Sun Ce could take the opportunity to break through and create passing opportunities, and when it was Split under the basket, Sun Ce also rushed in directly and dunked a ......
Moreover, this lineup Grizzlies are also doing okay on the defensive end! Duncan's absence also had an impact on the Spurs' offense, Parker rested for half a quarter, and in this half quarter, the Spurs pointed to Guy to score alone, and the Spurs only scored 10 points in the first quarter!
In the second half of the third quarter, Nash came on the court, with a lineup of Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Battier, and Jordan Jr.
Gay played well in the third quarter, scoring 9 points in a single quarter, and the Spurs scored 15 points in the second half, but the Spurs performed ordinarily in the whole quarter, scoring 25 points in a single quarter, and the Grizzlies scored 29 points in the third quarter.
At the end of the third quarter, the Grizzlies stretched the difference to 12 points!
Sun Ce played 29 minutes in the first three quarters and scored 32 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 blocks!
In fact, Sun Ce's score with conventional means is not high, except for two mid-range shots and a dunk at the beginning of the game, there was no mid-range shooting at the back, the Spurs defended very well, Sun Ce only dunked under the basket in the last two quarters and scored 4 points, and the shooting score in the three-second zone was only 10 points, but he shot a three-point performance of 6 of 8 shots, a total of 11 of 19 shots, plus 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 32 points in the third quarter.
The main thing is these 6 three-pointers, if he wants to shoot against the defense, even if it is Danny Green, who is shorter than him, Sun Ce shoots very biased, but he shoots in the open position, one shot at a time! You can shoot after blocking and dismantling!
Sun Ce was ready, after playing for 18 minutes in the first half, once the wind was not in the right direction in the second half, he would sacrifice Roska, anyway, if he won this game, he would be able to get the troika card, the probability of two out of three, Sun Ce felt that it would not be so sad that Duncan would be random.
But he played well in the third quarter, with 11 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block in a single quarter!
Now he is in a state of excitement, suppressing the fatigue of the bloody 29 minutes, and in the fourth quarter he went up to defend with Tony Allen, Paul George, Randolph, and Gasol Jr.!
Faced with a 12-point difference, facing the Grizzlies who started to play Lai, Popovich had no choice, how could he win in this situation?
He actually made a lot of adjustments, such as Sun Ce's defense, aside from Sun Ce's three points, Sun Ce's other shots were only 5 of 11 shots, and two of his shots were obtained by relying on the three-point threat to block and break in.
But what made Popovich feel hell was Sun Ce's 3-pointer on 6-of-8 shooting!
Klay Thompson, Paul George, Nash, and Neil combined, scored 6 three-pointers in the first three quarters, and these 8 shots were distributed to these four, and these four are estimated to not score 4, and the difference will not be so big.
However, Sun Ce just threw himself in!
