At 6:40 p.m. on March 31, 2014, the last day of the month, a big game was about to begin, and the Grizzlies entered the court.

When Sun Ce entered the court, he felt the enthusiasm of the Thunder fans, and the boos filled the entire arena, which was deafening.

Sun Ce felt how popular Westbrook is in Oklahoma City this year, and where Westbrook has surpassed Durant in popularity.

If it weren't for Curry's popularity, Westbrook, who averaged a triple-double per game this year, would have a good chance of being an All-Star starter.

At the beginning, when he was put in the frontcourt position by the league in the All-Star starting vote, it was said that it was not for Curry to move his place, but for Westbrook.

But there's no one who can't be attracted by Curry's three-pointers!

Compared with the strength of "Lao Tzu is going to shoot you" that Sun Ce's three-point show in the past two years, Curry's kind of "I just threw it" is even more crazy.

Coupled with a guy who has dominated the All-Star starters of Western Conference guards for more than ten years, Westbrook has fallen into the All-Star starter with an average triple-double per game.

It's just that his grandson is too hot, so he doesn't have much personal experience of Westbrook's popularity that has been blown up by fans and media this season.

But at least from the Thunder's home court, Sun Ce learned that Westbrook's local popularity has become higher than Durant's.

And his grandson, as the existence of Westbrook on the triple-double list, is definitely the image of the villain in the eyes of the fans here.

Soon, the pre-match preparation time was over, and the players of both teams took the field.

On the Grizzlies' side, Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Richard Jefferson, and Yi Jianlian played.

On the Thunder's side, Westbrook, Sefrosa, Durant, Ibaka, and Adams played.

Both teams were already very familiar with each other, and after the game began, both teams gave it their all, and played a fierce offensive and defensive battle based on the form of today's opponents, the characteristics of the opponent's style of play after the All-Star Weekend, and the experience of past encounters.

The Thunder don't like to play routines like the Warriors in a period of change, just hard steel!

On the offensive end, Westbrook broke through the ball, Durant and Ibaka contained, and catch-and-shoot shots, Adams cut to score, and Sefrosa played soy sauce play.

On the defensive end, Durant defends Sun Ce, Sefrosa defends Paul George, Westbrook defends the pitcher, and Ibaka selectively shrinks the co-defense.

Durant tonight, like the last time they met, is mainly responsible for containing and catching shots on the offensive end, focusing on defense.

On the Grizzlies' side, Sun Ce played very steadily tonight, and yesterday's ability evaluation broke through to the S-level, in fact, compared to the day before yesterday, there was no real substantive improvement in his skills or anything, and the breakthrough in ability evaluation was a cumulative improvement in the efforts of a season, but the improvement of the panel evaluation gave him stronger confidence.

His steady performance made his teammates play very steadily, their lineup is the first in the offensive firepower league, and they are already strong, and when the mentality of perimeter shooting is stable, after reducing the impact of the impatient mentality of eager to win after three consecutive defeats, the overall offensive performance is very good!

Relying on the containment of the outside trio, Yi Jianlian's sideline three-pointers and mid-range shots, and Richard Jefferson's cut-in, played very well!

When the Thunder missed the shot and Sun Ce grabbed the defensive rebound, Klay Thompson's chase three-pointer, Paul George's cut-and-catch basket and setter could also be played.

After 5 minutes and 47 seconds in the first half of the first quarter, the Grizzlies scored 18 points!

However, the Thunder also scored 16 points steadily.

In terms of offense, the Thunder team is not as good as the Grizzlies, but they grasp the weaknesses of the Grizzlies very well, Adams scored 7 points in less than half a quarter, and the Grizzlies team's lineup can defend against Durant and Ibaka, but the defense of Westbrook's breakthrough or blocking and breaking through is not good, and then Adams is constantly cutting into the cake and impacting the offensive rebound, because they all go to make up for Westbrook's breakthrough, Westbrook should score when he gets to the basket.

According to the new rules, the first timeout after 5 minutes of each quarter of the game is considered an official timeout, and Sun Ce, who got 6 points, 2 boards, 3 assists and 1 steal, was replaced to rest.

Coach Hollins chose to let Sun Ce rest before half a quarter, mainly because the team's offense was solid tonight.

And the most important thing is that Sun Ce plays very steadily!

Although Sun Ce has always shown a strong self-confidence, tonight, Coach Hollins found that Sun Ce has become more calm, not in behavior, but in temperament, that kind of self-confidence from the heart, which is more or less different from the past.

may be taken out separately for comparison, and I can't see any difference, but this little change in details makes Sun Ce appear more comfortable in the game, especially when he plays with these teammates who played the strongest offensive quint in the league, Sun Ce got 6 points and 3 assists in these 5 and a half minutes, not a single mistake or even a bad pass, and he played exceptionally stable.

And then the whole team's offense is very stable!

Sun Ce played the tone of the team's stable offense and defense, and the next thing is to see the performance of the whole team.

The other party also played well, so just fight the state.

While fighting for form, it is very important for the head coach to adjust personnel and change tactics.

Coach Hollins brought on a lineup of Livingston, Klay Thompson, Prince, Aamir Johnson, Whiteside.

On the Thunder's side, Dewey continued to play, and the lineup of Andre Roberson and Nick Collison played.

The Grizzlies are on the court, and the defense under the basket has suddenly improved!

If you play the Heat, you can be suspicious of Paul's blocking and shooting by Whiteside, but if you play Westbrook or James, Whiteside's role will be infinitely magnified!

In the second half of the first quarter, Whiteside grabbed Westbrook's breakthrough layup twice and broke the Thunder's offense!

Since their Grizzlies are not the Heat team that has collapsed to the brink of the Eastern Conference playoffs when they got Whiteside in the original time and space, their Grizzlies have a very clear understanding of Whiteside, and know how to use Whiteside's advantages to avoid disadvantages as much as possible.

From the second half of the first quarter to the end of the entire first half, Whiteside played 18 minutes and 13 seconds and got 8 points, 8 rebounds and 6 blocks!

In the half game, he grabbed 3 hats, twice to Westbrook, once to Perkins, and also gave two big hats to Adams under the basket, and Durant cut to give a big hat!

Due to Sun Ce's steady start with 6 points and 3 assists on 2-of-3 shooting, Klay Thompson was left with Livingston and others to continue their offensive performance in the second half of the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Sun Ce and Paul George came back, with Beverley, Yi Jianlian, and Whiteside who specialized in Clearbrook, and scored 16 points in the first 5 minutes and 47 seconds of the Thunder, and in the next 18 minutes and 13 minutes, the Thunder only scored 30 points! Not even two cents per minute!

When the overall shooting on both sides of the perimeter is very good, and the tactical execution of both teams is very strong, the changes on the Grizzlies' side cannot be dealt with by the Thunder!

The Grizzlies took advantage of Westbrook's weak shooting ability on the perimeter, which means that he doesn't block and break offense, and uses Whiteside's ability to guard the basket to restrain Westbrook's breakthrough scoring and distribution, allowing Ibaka and Durant to shoot more.

Although the Grizzlies only scored 54 points in the half, which was lower than the season average, they still led the Thunder by 8 points at 54-46 and entered the halftime!

The Grizzlies took the initiative to fall into positional battles, and when the offense and defense were average, they relied on Whiteside to get 5 offensive rebounds in the half, and they were in danger of ensuring the score.

The main thing is to defend well.

However, with Whiteside's six blocks in the half and almost the Thunder's entire three-second zone scoring choke, the Thunder were able to score 30 points in the next 18 minutes and maintain the difference within 10 points, which the Grizzlies did not expect.

In the last 18 minutes and 13 seconds of the first half, Durant scored 18 points, and his score alone accounted for half of the Thunder's score during this time!

Sun Ce played 15 minutes, got 11 points, 6 boards, 7 assists and 2 steals, no blocks, and all the blocks were taken by Whiteside!

Back in the locker room, looking at Whiteside so tired that he didn't want to, Sun Ce knew that Whiteside was estimated to not be able to play in the third quarter, and today's game was not sure to be won, so he had to let Whiteside rest and play the critical moment.

Facing the Thunder, who don't like fast breaks, Whiteside's restraint on Westbrook and the restraint of the opponent's breakthrough and cut-in play are the key to their Grizzlies winning!

……

……

Coming back from halftime, the Grizzlies re-deployed their starting lineup in the third quarter, and the Thunder also made four changes, only replacing Sefrosa with Andre Robertson.

After the start of the third quarter of the game, Sun Ce began to attack with all his might!

In the first half, except for Sun Ce's steady and hard play in the first half of the first quarter, the 10 minutes on the court in the second quarter were played slowly, and only one three-pointer and one counterattack dunk were made during that time.

By the third quarter, it's time to fight!

Because of Sun Ce's style of play in the first half, the Thunder team was very jealous of Sun Ce's passing, and was beaten by Sun Ce's in-to-outside shooting style that he didn't care about in the third quarter, and when they reacted, Sun Ce, who was a little tired from playing 5 attacks in a row and needed to slow down, began to pass the ball again.

After all, the Thunder team can't prevent the offense of the Grizzlies lineup, they can't prevent it, and no team in the league has really succeeded in defending the Grizzlies' lineup.

Of course, if the Grizzlies played the same way they played in the first half of the first quarter at the beginning of the third quarter, the prepared Thunder would still be able to play a great limiting role, but Sun Ce didn't play like that, it was hard steel.

For the Thunder, it was no big deal to be played well by the Grizzlies, but the key was that their offense did not continue in the third quarter!

Durant shot 9 of 14 in the first half and scored 24 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block with a super high shooting rate, but after playing the whole first half, especially in those 18 minutes and 13 seconds, he threw 11 times and scored 18 points on 7-of-11 shooting, and his shooting performance dropped significantly in the third quarter!

When Durant missed three consecutive shots, the Grizzlies began to shrink and block Westbrook!

has played so many times and watched so many Thunder games, Durant's physical strength is average, and the Grizzlies have long understood it.

That is, Westbrook is good enough, and he is stunned to rely on breakthrough kills to compete with the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies played most of the quarter with a run-and-gun lineup, and in the second half of the quarter, Sun Ce, Hardaway Jr., Paul George, Amir Johnson, and Yi Jianlian ran another half of the quarter, and after the third quarter, they led the Thunder by 11 points at 86-75 and entered the intermission.

In this quarter, Sun Ce scored 17 points and 28 points in the third quarter, and he caught up with Durant's score!

After the third quarter, Sun Ce got 28 points, 8 boards, 9 assists, 1 block and 2 steals.

Sun Ce felt a little sorry for Durant in this game, and the head coach on the opposite side was simply using him as a cattle! Knowing that he was tired, he didn't change it!

Durant shot 9-of-14 in the first half and 11-of-20 in the third quarter...... Sun Ce feels that it is not Durant who is trying to maintain the balance of shooting percentage, but the head coach of the Thunder is trying to maintain Durant's average shooting rate of half iron and half per game.

The Thunder scored 29 points in the third quarter, and the best player was Westbrook, with 11 points, 4 boards and 6 assists in a single quarter, and 17 points, 7 boards and 12 assists in the third quarter!

But after the third quarter break, Westbrook's nightmare came!

5 points, 3 rebounds, 4 blocks and 1 assist in a single quarter!

The Thunder had defensive Whiteside's offensive rebounds, but Whiteside still stole five offensive rebounds in the first half, and they did a good job of limiting Whiteside's offensive rebounds in the fourth quarter, using Perkinska.

However, offensive rebounding can be limited, but defense is really difficult to limit, an important part of the Thunder's scoring is Westbrook's sudden score, others cut to score, Whiteside came up in the fourth quarter after three consecutive blocks, the Thunder side became hesitant to cut in for several minutes!

Previously, the Thunder were able to bite the score in the third quarter and not be defeated by the Grizzlies with 32 points in a single quarter, relying on execution and enthusiasm and Westbrook's personal ability.

When the cut became hesitant, the Thunder could only rely on Durant to score in the final quarter, and Durant shot okay in the final quarter, shooting 3 of 6, making 1 three-pointer, and hitting 3 free throws, scoring 10 points in a single quarter and increasing his personal score to 38 points.

However, the Thunder only scored 21 points in the final quarter!

On the Grizzlies' side, although they only scored 22 points in the final quarter, it was enough!

Relying on Whiteside's 13 points, 11 boards, 10 blocks and 1 assist in a single game, and Sun Ce's 35 points, 13 boards, 11 assists, 1 block and 3 steals in a single game, the Grizzlies defeated the Thunder 108-96 and ended a three-game losing streak!

……

……

In the battle of soaring points, Sun Ce lost to Durant's 38 points by 35 points.

In terms of shooting percentage, Sun Ce made 13 of 27 shots, and he didn't have a high shooting percentage of 14 of 26 shots.

In the battle of triple-doubles, Sun Ce had 35 points, 13 boards and 11 assists, and he was not as good as Westbrook's 20 points, 11 boards and 18 assists.

But even if Sun Ce separates, he is not much worse than the two!

The key is that after this game, Sun Cefei's triple-double, that is, 40+ crazy performance, continued to the 21st game!

This time, Sun Ce finally grabbed the headlines, and the headlines given by the major media were almost the same - the Crazy March Lord Show was a great success!

However, this can't hide Whiteside's crazy performance when he meets Westbrook, who only shot 7-of-18 tonight, and Westbrook was forced to score a three-pointer in the fourth quarter!

Of Whiteside's 10 blocks, four were given to Westbrook and two of them were grab caps.

For the first time in NBA history, three players have a triple-double in a game!

Among them, Sun Ce and Whiteside both got triple-doubles, the fifth time in NBA history, the first four were Magic and Abdul-Jabbar, Big Bird and Parish, Jordan and Pippen, Kidd and Carter!

While fans are marveling at Sun Ce's explosive performance since the All-Star Weekend, the most concerned is Whiteside.

In the first four games since Whiteside returned to the NBA, he averaged 7.5 points, 11 rebounds and 3.5 blocks per game, and his performance was explosive, but he didn't expect him to become more and more courageous, and beat the Thunder to win the fifth single-game 10 blocks in Grizzlies team history!

It's just Kweissbrook!

After this game, regarding the ranking of this season's triple-double list, people have decided that Sun Ce is going to continue to dominate the list, but he feels sorry for Westbrook, averaging 20.5 points, 10.4 rebounds and 11.9 assists per game, playing 73 games and getting 30 triple-doubles, which is still a big step away from the first place in the single-season triple-double list!

On the contrary, Durant scored 38 points tonight, and his scoring performance overpowered Sun Ce's head, and some people complained that he didn't score enough......

……

The March season is over, and the NBA2013-2014 regular season is entering its final game month.

On the morning of April 1, the day after the Grizzlies finished playing the Thunder, the Grizzlies did not stop and came to the city of their next opponent - Denver Plateau.

At 12 o'clock at noon, the NBA officially announced the player of the month in March, on the eastern side, Paul, the star of the Heat team who rushed all the way to the second place in the East, won the best of the month in March, pressing Griffin, Paul played 16 games in March, 19.5 points, 4 boards, 14 assists and 2.5 steals, and the performance was really good, helping the Heat team to play a 12-4 record and put the Pacers to third in the East.

On this side of the west, there is no suspense! Sun Ce won his third Player of the Month of the season! The number of career monthly best times has also been increased to nine.

This year's NCAA players who are going to be drafted and are in the middle of March Madness are going to blow up.

The NCAA March Madness tournament, which is loved by the American people, is no match for one name - the March Madness Lords Show!

On the other hand, the NBA official is not happy, the Grizzlies have 17 games in March, 12 of which are broadcast live or added in the United States, and if there is a live broadcast of the Grizzlies game on the same day, the ratings of the NCAA live broadcast are not as high as the ratings of the Grizzlies games! This situation is rare for more than ten or twenty years!
