Sun Ce played 9 minutes in the first quarter and got 2 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

Running and playing like this, Sun Ce didn't get 3 assists and 4 rebounds in a quarter, which did not surprise the fans on the scene and the fans in front of the TV, the commentators and the players of the two teams, and played normally...... But the Grizzlies' counterattack routine is that others help Sun Ce get stuck and grab the board, and Sun Ce grabs the rebound and counterattacks directly, and people are used to it.

But it's the playoffs!

Sun Ce didn't have a bit of stage fright, and made full use of the loophole that the opponent sent two below-average defenders!

Kidd once went to switch to Anthony Parker's catch-and-shoot and Sun took a step from inside the free-throw line and threw a hook directly into Jason Terry's head.

After the first quarter, relying on Sun Ce's 3 assists, Guy's 6 points to replace Battier and two transfer pass assists from Sun Ce, the Grizzlies led the Mavericks by 7 points 26-19 in the first quarter!

And the Mavericks, on the other hand, did not dare to replace Nowitzki! Although Nowitzki went down and the Mavericks team played offensively, the defensive end was worse and worse, especially after Marion was replaced by Caron Butler, the defensive end was completely gone.

It's good that the offensive end is okay, Jason Terry made a beep in the playoffs, don't look at him in a few months to be 33 years old, I feel that the older I get, the more demonic I feel, the player who scores more points in the playoffs in his career than in the regular season is really powerful, and this is a player who averaged 19 points per game in the regular season in his sophomore year, and the average points per game in the playoffs can be higher than in the regular season.

Nowitzki withered, all thanks to Jason Terry's 9 minutes off the bench to get 8 points and 1 assist, scored a three-point shot against Guy, a pull-up jump shot against Sun Ce, and a single 2+1 Battier caused Battier to be replaced, plus Kidd's 3 points and 4 assists, Tim Thomas scored 4 points as an offensive endpoint, plus a mid-range shot by Caron Butler and a free throw from Haywood, to score 18 points in the next 9 minutes, barely competing with the running Grizzlies.

Now the Mavericks can only play positional warfare on the offensive end, which is nothing, and playoff positional warfare is the current mainstream.

The key is that the defensive end can't be stopped, but it is not easy to play the offense smoothly, and Coach Carlisle does not dare to replace Nowitzki like he did in the regular season to try to see if he is alive, so he can only play like this.

This is quite torturous for Kidd, he really hopes to have a big center who can really protect the basket, Nowitzki and Haywood are barely okay when they are together, but Nowitzki's average level of defense is out of play and is put on the bench, and he can't hold the rhythm at all.

In the second quarter of the game, Sun Ce and Jordan Jr. were replaced, and Coach Hollins changed back to the starting lineup.

This time the judgment was accurate, and the Mavericks re-replaced Nowitzki, replacing the double Jason backcourt with Barria and DeSean Stevenson, Marion, and Dampier lineup.

Although Kidd has good physical strength, he still has to rest, and when Kidd rests, he has to use Nowitzki.

Then the difference was widened.

Just like the Mavericks played the Nuggets in the playoffs last year, the rotation lineup can compete, and the superstar score difference is pulled away by three or two points.

By the ninth minute of the second quarter, Sun Ce, together with Conley, Gay, Randolph, and Gasol Jr., had a 15-point lead of 46-31 when they were preparing to consolidate the lead before halftime!

In the full nine minutes of the second quarter, Nowitzki shot 1 of 7 in these nine minutes, and only scored 3 points, which was still an open three-pointer.

In the next game, when playing the rotation stage, Sun Ce performed very well, and when he played with multiple starters, the performance was not so good, after all, there was no way to run all over the field, and Guy could carry the whole court to run, at this stage, Sun Ce was mainly responsible for the positional battle to advance the ball over half the court and hand the ball to Gasol Jr., use the field of vision to pass the ball in the low post, and shoot when Kidd went to change the defense of others.

But that's enough!

Sun Ce's performance is already very surprising!

Coach Hollins just wants Sun Ce to adapt more in the first game of the playoffs, and the advantage in the starting stage is so big, it doesn't matter if Sun Ce pits a little, but Sun Ce has exceeded Coach Hollins' expectations!

Not to mention playing particularly well, at least it is a positive effect!

Compete with the opponent in the rotation stage, and fight honestly in positional battles!

On the Mavericks' side, Coach Carlisle originally wanted to take advantage of the inexperience of Sun Ce and Conley, the young guards, but Conley was steady and never made a wrong decision......

The most surprising thing about the Grizzlies in this game is that there are so many young players, and the five overly tender young players in the eight-man main rotation are Sun Ce, Conley, Gay, Gasol Jr., and Jordan Jr., and they are not afraid at all!

On the contrary, they are so fierce that they can't do it!

Coach Carlisle can only scare his boss's pre-game rhetoric......

A large part of the reason why the Grizzlies played so fiercely was really related to Cuban's pre-game remarks.

But the main thing is that they have no psychological burden at all, and their results this season have already exceeded their expectations!

On the contrary, the Mavericks, who have the fourth highest salary in the league after the Knicks, the Suns, and the Lakers, are different from the Knicks, they have to fight for the championship like the Suns and Lakers, and the pressure is much higher than that of the Grizzlies.

According to the tactical plan, the Grizzlies grind the position defense in the main stage, rush if they can rush in the rotation stage, and replace Randolph to slowly chisel if they can't rush to stabilize the point difference.

The situation went the way the Grizzlies wanted it to go until the end of the game!

played 26 minutes, 3 of 7 shots, 1 of 2 free throws, Sun Ce got 7 points, 8 boards, 8 assists and 1 steal.

The Grizzlies beat the Mavericks by 12 points 103-91 to win their first playoff game!

……

The Grizzlies' victory over the Mavericks didn't cause much of a stir after the game, and most media predictions were that the Mavericks would be difficult to beat the Grizzlies.

The Mavericks deliberately lost to third place in the West, and Cuban said that they deliberately selected the Grizzlies to play in the first round, and this matter was on fire!

Nowitzki only played 22 minutes in the whole game, 2 of 11, and scored 10 points on 5 of 6 free throws, totaling 10 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist, his playing time was concentrated in the first three quarters, and the difference was stretched to 19 points after the third quarter, and Nowitzki did not play a minute in the fourth quarter, but narrowed to 9 points when the difference was the smallest.

Throughout the fourth quarter, the image of Nowitzki covering his head with a towel became the most interesting image of the game.

Many fans can see that the rest of the Mavericks have integrated into the new system, and Nowitzki is still outside the system!
