699. Ben Overlord refuses to play garbage time (6,000 words chapter 2nd update)
"We believe that Amare has a fracture or fracture in the fourth metacarpal bone of his right hand and needs to go to the hospital for an X-ray, and it is not advisable to continue playing." Gina Callaghan, the Knicks' women's team physician and vice president of team logistics, told D'Antoni.
“NO!” D'Antoni wailed, "Is there any other possibility? ”
"Depending on the location of the palm of the armare and the extent and type of swelling, with my years of diagnostic experience, in the best-case scenario, we may lose the amaray for 4 to 6 weeks." The team doctor's tone was also heavy.
Best case scenario......
D'Antoni's head exploded when he heard this.
The other head is going to blow up Paul, finally for the first time to have a superstar-level teammate, a superstar is not a group of role players can compare, otherwise the Knicks would not have sent almost the entire team except Stoudemire to the Hornets to exchange Paul back.
"Is my life so miserable?" This was bad news for Paul!
They just hit No. 1 in the East, he's just topped the MVP charts, the team's second-best player, and the league's No. 1 scoring superstar this season has been out for at least 4-6 weeks!
Paul knows that the initial diagnosis of most team doctors will not be much different from the final result.
Paul is lamenting fate here, and for the rest of the Knicks, most of them were scared by Sun Ce!
Veterans such as Paul, Sean Williams, Anthony Carter, and Turiav can understand the team doctor.
It is already obviously swollen, and players who have experienced or seen a lot know that it is not just broken, but an inflammatory reaction that only occurs after the fracture has been broken for a while and is still moving wildly.
Like Kobe Bryant and Jordan, although they have also continued to play after a broken finger, they all wear finger guards that fix their fingers, and when they shoot with broken fingers, they use their wrists to drive the fixed fingers to exert force, which is very different from the usual way of exerting force.
In such a situation, Stoudemire was obviously injured in the middle of this game, and he didn't say it, and he insisted on fighting.
In the minds of veteran players, Stoudemire is quite "tough".
But in the eyes of marginal players who don't have so much experience, it was Sun Ce who broke Stoudemire's metacarpal bone! And most of the Knicks' players were fringe before this season! It's just that I was lucky to meet one of the two characteristic player gospel head coaches, D'Antony, who "can drive a wave of marginal people to re-employment", and Popovich, who has opened "no matter what, can drive a second-round pick employment".
"Playing against someone who can dunk rebounds and smash metacarpal bones?"
Human beings are very good at brain supplementation, and they are more willing to believe the "facts" they want to believe.
Stoudemire was injured this time, the point difference was stretched to 6 points, and the morale of most of the Knicks team plummeted!
……
On the other side, the Grizzlies bench.
Coach Hollins doesn't want to see any players get hurt, whether it's the opponent or the players of his own team, he doesn't want to, otherwise it will be difficult for leaders at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends like Randolph and Tony Allen who have come out of the "dark system" team to maintain the bottom line of playing - not to hurt people maliciously.
But I have to say that Stoudemire's sudden injury is definitely a good thing for their Grizzlies, who have already taken the initiative!
Coach Hollins was also taken aback, Sun Ce injured the opponent's hat?
However, after the big screen gave Stoudemire a close-up of his hand, Coach Hollins has played for so many years and been an assistant coach for so many years, and it can be seen that Sun Ce's block only worsened Stoudemire's fracture injury, which has long been fractured.
They don't know exactly when the fracture occurred, but no matter what, the bottom line of the game is not to maliciously hurt people, no need to attack others with language that violates the bottom line of morality, and there is no other morality!
Little Jordan on! Young and resilient Conley!
Coach Hollins sent a lineup of Sun Ce, Conley, Morrow, Yi Jianlian, and Jordan Jr., and he wanted to fire against Biao! Moreover, it is to go to the inside line!
……
After the timeout, despite the very sad things that happened to the Knicks, the game should go on.
The Knicks fielded a lineup of Paul, Bill Walker, Fields, Novak, and Sean Williams.
One star!
D'Antoni had no choice but to send such a line-up.
When the Grizzlies players came on the court, Sun Ce didn't get any cheers this time.
Sun Ce is in a desperate mood now, why does everyone think that he broke Stoudemier's metacarpal bone? The key is that veterans like Randolph and Battier deliberately joked about him, and he didn't explain it even when he could see it.
Sun Ce put away his sympathy for Stoudemire, now it's the game!
The Knicks opted for a frontcourt serve, Paul received the ball and quickly sprinted to the three-point line, and Paul George hurried to defend it.
Classic small fight big! Paul forced a mid-range shot to the right side and hit a pull-up jump shot!
Paul did not give up, although he was criticized by fans and the media in many places, but there is nothing to say about the fighting attitude on the field.
However, Paul just threw the ball in, and Sun Ce, who retracted it under the basket, quickly picked up the ball and sent it to Conley, who advanced at full speed!
Conley's ability to control the rhythm is on display! Sean Williams and Fields, who quickly advanced to the front court but didn't pass the ball randomly, and retreated to the inside when the Twin Towers rushed over, were going crazy! Novak and Bill Walker, who had stepped back one step later, stopped the two scary-looking Shamat.
At this time, Morrow ran to a 45-degree angle on the left side, Conley grabbed the ball, looked at Morrow, and Paul, who was defending in front of Conley, hurriedly pounced towards Morrow.
But Conley just glanced at Moreau, held the ball to the right with one hand, and Sun Ce, who followed up, took the ball away from Conley's hand and went straight to the inside in the middle!
It's a smooth road! Sun Ce slapped the ball, took three steps inside the three-point line, stepped into the dotted semicircle of the free throw line in two steps, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!
It was Sun Ce who dunked the ball, but it was Conley and Shuangdi who got to the page!
Conley's eyes flickered over Paul, and he was full of anger with his left hand behind his hand and right hand to support the ball, and the cable TV commentator named the pass "Mr. Please dunk".
In addition, the double emperor rushed up to scare the Knicks four-person attack, and it is not so easy to see that it is not so easy to play other teams, no team is as short as the Knicks inside, and now there is a comparison, the double emperor rushes up too bug!
When these two reach their peak, they can be the starting interior combination of a strong team!
91-85, the Grizzlies still have a 6-point lead!
The tone was set like this, and the Grizzlies focused on offense, defending if they could, and pulling them down if they couldn't prevent them.
The other party is such a superstar, they have Sun Ce on their side, with four teammates who rush up and are like crazy people, they are stronger than the other party! Much stronger!
The impact of Stoudemire's absence is huge, originally the Knicks relied on two superstars to drive a group of pitchers, and now there is only one left, and the containment power has plummeted!
Now the Knicks' only advantage is Paul's single point.
Paul was also tough, in the remaining minutes of the second half of the third quarter, he shot two three-pointers and two free throws, Paul scored 9 points and 1 assist in more than three minutes, counting the two points in the first half of the quarter, 11 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, and the data increased to 20 points, 3 rebounds and 11 assists, and by the end of the third quarter, the Knicks' total score increased to 94 points.
But the Grizzlies didn't fall behind in the matchup, but had the upper hand!
Sun Ce's assist did not move in these few minutes, it was still 10 assists, but the scoring and rebounding soared!
After the third quarter, Sun Ce's statistics increased to 42 points, 13 boards, 10 assists and 4 blocks!
With the double emperor as a containment point, Sun Ce cut into how easy it is.
After the third quarter, the Grizzlies set a team record! 105 points in three quarters! 105-94 11-point lead over the Knicks!
In this quarter, the Grizzlies contained the Knicks' score to 23 points in a single quarter! In addition to Paul scoring nine points in a row, only Novak made a long two-pointer.
And the Grizzlies scored 41 points in a single quarter!
41-23, the Grizzlies won by 18 points in a single quarter!
……
The Grizzlies outscored by 18 points in the first quarter, and it looks like the game has been taken away, but, with Sun Ce's perception of Paul, this guy may not give up.
Although it won by 18 points in a single quarter, it was not so safe because it was 7 points behind in the first half and the lead was only 11 points.
Sun Ce still remembers that in the original time and space, Paul's Clippers reversed their Grizzlies by more than 20 points......
At the intermission, Sun Ce returned to the bench and immediately walked towards Coach Hollins to stop the head coach's potential commotion!
Based on Sun Ce's perception of Coach Hollins, this head coach who looks very stable in appearance but is wild in his heart may make a five-up-and-five-down operation.
However, as soon as Sun Ce arrived next to Coach Hollins, Coach Hollins first said to him: "Can you continue to play in the fourth quarter?" ”
"Uh...... You can ......" Sun Ce was a little confused......
It's not the same as I thought!
Shouldn't Coach Hollins want to stop him and save the team from the impending dire situation?
Coach Hollins's side really wants to go up and down, but Sun Ce scored 42 points in the third quarter!
As far as the Knicks' defense is concerned, Coach Hollins feels that Sun Ce has no big problem scoring 20 points in a single quarter, and won't he score 24 points in a single quarter in the third quarter? He even wished that the Knicks would play better in the fourth quarter and give Sun Ce a chance to break the team's all-time scoring record!
Coach Hollins has such an idea in many factors, the first is that the opportunity is rare, and it really takes the right time and place to score 60 points.
The Knicks have poor defense, and this is the time of the day; Playing in the mecca of basketball, the away team players may be more excited than the home team, which is the geographical advantage; Sun Ce is in good shape today, he has changed his jersey, and he is wearing a fat headband, this is human!
It's too rare to have a situation like this, some super scorers can win the scoring title, but they may not have the opportunity to get 60+ in their entire career, in the past three years, Wade, Durant, Anthony, James soared so much, Durant, Wade, James won the scoring championship in the past three seasons, this season is Anthony and Durant competing for the scoring title, as a result, only Kobe Bryant, who has withdrawn from the scoring title competition, has won 60+ in a single game in the past few years.
The second is Coach Hollins' selfishness, which is also related to the first reason, he wants to improve all of the team's records during his time at the helm of the Grizzlies to a point that his successor will not be able to surpass.
The third and most critical point is that Sun Ce feels the warmth of the team......
……
Coming back from the break, the Grizzlies sent a lineup of Sun Ce, Conley, Tony Allen, Paul George, and Battier.
Gasol Jr. and Randolph, Jordan Jr., and Yi Jianlian sat on the bench in a big guy position, and they didn't exert much strength tonight, facing the first place in the East, they actually played a comeback!
The Knicks, on their part, unsurprisingly sent a lineup of Paul, Bill Walker, Fields, Novak, and Sean Williams, and their best players were sent except for Stoudemire.
Paul didn't want to give up!
This was shown in the 2009 playoffs, when the big score was 1-3 behind, and the fifth game was 38 points behind, Paul was unwilling to give up, and was beaten by 20 points in the final quarter.
Paul really wants to fight, but the mentality of the players on the Knicks' side has collapsed!
This night, it was a nightmare for them!
And it's the kind of nightmare that is beautiful at the beginning and comes to a critical hit at the end!
The Grizzlies are also ready to make a dead hand, from Conley to Battier, plus Sun Ce, who has an extremely good defensive performance tonight, in the face of the run-and-bomb lineup led by Paul alone, the Grizzlies' side has an absolute advantage in offense and defense!
When Stoudmeire was reimbursed for the season, Nash could still get the MVP, because he had another super power forward, Sean Marion, and D'Antoni dug up a top playmaker who could get an average of 13+6+6 per game...... Even if D'Antoni made this dish 10,000 times, he couldn't do anything without the ingredients!
In the face of Tony Allen's single defense, as well as Sun Ce and Paul George's sandwich, the Grizzlies' five-man team can also switch defenses at high speeds...... Paul's strong firepower of 9 points in the last three minutes of the third quarter was stifled!
The lineup sent by Coach Hollins to Sun Ce's partner, although it is five small, is not for offense, but for defense!
Five small against five small!
There is a special agreement, Coach Hollins told the players who were more or less capable of controlling the ball on the court behind Sun Ce's back to try to defend the opponent and give the ball to Sun Ce on the offensive end.
As a result, Sun Ce, who returned to the position of big central defender, played a low-post single, counterattacked and cut, and received the ball and jumper...... Hi hi!
By the ninth minute of the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies had a 128-109 lead over the Knicks by 19 points!
In 9 minutes, the Grizzlies played a 23-15 score!
Paul has worked hard, but he just can't lead this group of teammates! There is a big difference between having and not Stoudemire, and it took 9 minutes to score 15 points! 8 of them were scored by himself!
No, Fields caught the ball and made an open three-pointer, and Sun Ce easily grabbed a defensive rebound from Sean Williams.
Paul still didn't give up, actively confronting Conley, and Sun Ce himself slowly advanced to the front.
When the Grizzlies sent out a lineup without an inside lineup, they actually played positional battles with a tight tempo, and the TV commentators and fans who could understand the rhythm of the game felt very incredible.
No one expected the Grizzlies to do this, and they actually used a small lineup to press the rhythm.
And the Grizzlies really used this method that D'Antoni couldn't understand to complete the rhythm suppression, and there were more teams that wanted to curb D'Antoni's rhythm, but even the Spurs in 2005 couldn't suppress it, and the Grizzlies' five-man group actually did it!
The key to being able to do it is Sun Ce, who did not pass the ball after advancing to the front court and wanted to continue to come by himself!
Paul directly let go of Conley and came over to flank Sun Ce with Bill Walker.
Sun Ce is almost 60 points, and Paul doesn't care about anything else, so he wants to stop Sun Ce from scoring 60 points.
Sun Ce saw Paul rushing towards him, and hurriedly accelerated to the right side to break through.
Pass? Spread a fart! Vote for yourself!
Paul's defensive awareness has nothing to say, when Sun Ce broke through Fields, Paul ran to the inside, Fields gave Sun Ce some confrontation, Sun Ce's speed was affected, he couldn't get rid of the defense, and when he broke through to the right side of the free throw line, Paul had already pounced!
There is Paul to defend the next three ways, and it may be a way to prevent the next three ways, and the name of the top egg cannon is so loud that it can't be done, and there is Fields interference......
Sun Ce stopped in an instant, turned around and leaned on Fields before Paul pounced on the ground, then slapped the ball with his right foot on the ground, stepped out with his left foot to the left back, grabbed the ball, turned around and turned back to jump and shoot......
Let's play!
When Sun Ce jumped, he was connected with Fields, Paul, and the basket!
Sun Ce's turn, turn, back, back, jumper, and shot!
Fields is like a gun rack, and Paul behind Fields is probably a battery ......
Paul saw Sun Ce's back to Fields sticking up, thinking that Sun Ce was going to turn around and go to the middle, so he immediately stopped and retreated to block the middle lane and prevent Sun Ce from running the hook, but he didn't expect Sun Ce to turn around and retreat to make a jumper!
130-109, the Grizzlies stretched the difference to more than 20 points for the first time in this game!
D'Antoni called a timeout!
Substitution, give up! With 3 minutes left, 21 points behind, it's completely out of play!
Now even Paul has given up, and D'Antoni wants to call without calling a timeout.
In 9 minutes and 16 seconds, Sun Ce scored 16 points, and he had scored 58 points on 24-of-35 shooting!
If you keep fighting, it's really going to be 60+!
Seeing D'Antoni call a timeout, the fans began to boo.
Sun Ce's one-on-two turn, back-turned, back-to-back jumper made the fans on the scene completely excited, who can control the Knicks at this time! Stoudemire's injury doesn't matter.
Sun Ce is expected to break the Madison Square Garden scoring record held by Kobe!
At this time, D'Antoni called a timeout, didn't he want to kill the record?
"Lord...... Suzerain...... Lord......"
The fans at the scene began to shout frantically about Sun Ce's nickname in the United States.
Sun Ce's attention was a little distracted, and when he threw the ball just now and his personal score increased to 58 points, the system prompt came.
"Because the host scored 58 points in a single game, Chris Paul experienced another worst defeat in a host's unique way, special event: the wonderful fantasy of white chocolate has been completed, and the chocolate of the new era wants to become the strongest point guard! SS-rated event: The prologue of the career showdown with the strongest point guard is yet to begin. ”
This event...... Sun Ce almost forgot, because it hadn't been triggered for a long time, and it was actually triggered at this time.
Seeing Sun Ce walk back to the sidelines and sit directly on the bench, Coach Hollins is now very melancholy, do you want to let Sun Ce go up and brush up a few points?
In the past nine minutes, Sun Ce got 16 points, 3 rebounds and 0 assists, and it can be said that the other party did not give up, and Sun Ce went all out to give respect.
But the opponent's water cooler lineup had already stood on the sidelines and was ready to play, and Paul sat down, making it clear that he didn't want Sun Ce to get 60+, so he didn't stick to the end.
At this time, send Sun Ce up...... It's really just a score!
I still have to ask Sun Ce what he thinks, Coach Hollins came to Sun Ce's side, at this time, there were already reporters gathered behind the Grizzlies bench, and the big screen on the court also enlarged the picture on their side, garbage time, there is no possibility of "tactical exposure", and the probability of being punished is small.
The fans at the scene were chanting "Lord", they wanted to see 60+! This arena has been around for more than 60 years, and only Kobe Bryant has won 60+ here, and many people have not seen that scene with their own eyes, and now they have the opportunity to see it with their own eyes, and of course they want to see it.
This was the cry of the crowd, Coach Hollins sat next to Sun Ce and patted Sun Ce on the shoulder and asked, "Noah, do you want 60+?" ”
was patted, Sun Ce came back to his senses, took a slow time to react to what Coach Hollins said, hesitated, looked up at his 58 points, 16 rebounds, 10 assists, 60+ triple-doubles on the big screen......
However, the Double S event!
At this time, Sun Ce aimed at the radio that had reached behind the bench, and Sun Ce thought of the guy he didn't have but wanted the most in the original random target of the star experience card he used tonight, the man who got a steal and got a quadruple-double in the third quarter......
There are so many quadruple-doubles, but when people mention quadruple-doubles, the first thing that comes to mind is not the people who got it......
Don't pretend to be forced at this time, wait for when!
Sun Ce stood up, and just when people thought he was going to play directly, Sun Ce waved to the staff for training clothes, turned his head to the radio and said, "60+ seems to be fascinating, but I'm tired." ”
