At FedEx Arena's away team practice ground, Curry and Iguodala set aside the impatient head coach and held a pregame player meeting.

It's not that they want to force the palace, the two are not stupid, the playoffs are in the seventh, at such a critical moment, they will not be stupid enough to force the palace at this time, but want the players to temporarily suppress their dissatisfaction with head coach Mark Jackson.

Yesterday, the day after Game 6, the Warriors followed the Grizzlies to Memphis, and that afternoon, Mark Jackson took the team to the FedEx Center for three hours of expedited workout.

This time he was really in a hurry!

Ahead of Game 6, Mark Jackson thought there was a Game 7 if Game 6 was lost.

But after actually losing the 6th game, he found that the situation was completely different! The mentality alone is different from what I thought before!

At that time, he thought that he could fight if he lost the 6th game and lost the 7th game, but now he feels that the idea at that time was so stupid, because they won 3 games in a row at that time, and the momentum was like a rainbow, and when the 3 consecutive wins were ended, they continued to face the same opponent, and the 3 consecutive wins were terminated It felt like hitting the wall headfirst, and all the momentum was knocked out.

The morale of both sides is completely reversed, Klay Thompson on the opposite side has exploded, plus Sun Ce, the first person in the quasi-league who has been in hot form since the second game month of the regular season, that is, December last year, and Paul George, who has played better in the playoffs than in the regular season...... Their Warriors have a more reasonable lineup and the advantage of protecting the rim center, but when Sun Ce and Paul George have been playing well, their Warriors have relied on Harden's excellent performance and Curry's explosive performance to steadily suppress the Grizzlies during the three-game winning streak.

When Klay Thompson broke out, their Warriors couldn't take it.

The key is that in Game 6, Curry is obviously not as good as Game 4 and Game 5, and Harden's almost stable performance of 30+5+5 per game in this series is not enough!

Moreover, Mark Jackson felt that the whole world did not understand him.

Doesn't he just like to be steady?

Isn't it good to play steadily? He really can't wave! He thought about some tactics and tried them, but after the problems were exposed, he didn't dare to use them again, such as the no-center tactic that he tried last year, but after being beaten by Duncan, he gave up.

When he saw Curry's prodigal style of play, he said early on that Curry's style of play would ruin the team, although he guessed wrong, but he was on the safe side, he hoped that Curry would play like Ray Allen after having Harden, although Curry played well with the ball like Nash and shot like Sun Ce......

Coming to Memphis yesterday before he had a break, Mark Jackson scheduled a practice session and heard a rumor that if he was overturned by the Grizzlies 3-2 this time, he would not be far from getting out of class.

Impatient, now Mark Jackson is impatient.

The overall mentality of a team, in fact, the most important thing is not the mentality of the stars, the most important thing is the head coach!

Mark Jackson asked for training, understandable, most of their team are young players, the oldest in the main lineup are O'Neal Jr. and Iguodala, these two are a little older, but the other main players are the earliest players who entered the NBA in 08, and the training intensity is not as good as the game, so it is not a big problem.

But when the Grizzlies had a day off, the Warriors got off the plane and had lunch and ran to the arena for training, which brought a sense of impatience to the players.

As a head coach, you can't help the team ease their impatience, but instead need stars to help deal with these things and reassure their teammates, Curry and Iguodala feel tired.

Personal grievances aside, Curry likes Mark Jackson's coaching, and steadfastness is definitely good, and nothing is more important than stability during a long season.

Moreover, Curry personally experienced the old Nelson not doing anything, the interim coach led the team to rot for two years, and in 11 years Mark Jackson came to power and began to build the team system, and the management finally got Harden back, and last season began to produce results, and the team's offensive and defensive system was gradually improved......

Seeing that the tiebreaker is just around the corner, and there are less than 10 hours left, Curry is trying to adjust his mentality and state in an effort to return to those two hot games.

He really wants to win!

……

On the other side, at the home team's training ground, the atmosphere was completely different.

A three-quarter win to lock the win, ended the opponent's three-game winning streak, regained the home field advantage, dragged into the tiebreaker, and now they are like a rainbow!

Sun Ce and his teammates returned to Memphis yesterday for a day of rest, and the amount of training today was also very small, mainly two tactical running training sessions, one of which was how to prevent Curry from soaring while limiting Harden as much as possible.

As for role player scoring...... I think that if a player has a good scoring opportunity, it is generally a very good scoring opportunity, and there is no way to prevent it, otherwise what will the three outside lines on the opposite side do, just like their Grizzlies, if it weren't for Klay Thompson's explosion, Yi Jianlian averaged the same points per game as Klay Thompson, averaging 14 points per game in the first five games.

The other is to practice 40 minutes of triangle offense with Sun Ce's high and low back play as the starting point, although Sun Ce and Klay Thompson don't know much about triangle offense, but after playing once, it seems that they will play, and Paul George and Livingston seem to understand what a triangle offense is, and they do a good job of receiving the ball and organizing offense on the weak side.

In the afternoon, I rested and watched the game video if I wanted to watch the game video, and I wanted to sleep during the lunch break......

The turnaround in confidence in the playoffs came very quickly, because unlike the regular season, where there is a long gap between two meetings, and winning one game under a big disadvantage suddenly regains confidence.

After a day of preparation, at 6:40 p.m., after the warm-up, the players of both teams entered!

……

Feeling the excited and manic shouts of the fans at the scene, Sun Ce felt that he was also dry!

Looking at the four stars of Curry, Harden, Iguodala and Thabit opposite, Sun Ce is extremely excited, tonight, have a good fight!

When he fell behind 2-3, Sun Ce was not afraid, he would fight when he should play, and now that he is tied 3-3, what are he afraid of, he estimates that the other party is also afraid, so there is no need to be afraid.

After entering the court, the regular season MVP award ceremony was held, and the atmosphere on the scene was even more dry!

Professional athletes are a profession that needs a sense of ritual very much, sportsmanship, is originally a non-substantive thing, after the official award, the fans really have a change in mood - hey!

Sun Ce became the first player to win at least three regular season MVPs after Russell, Chamberlain, Abdul-Jabbar, Moses Malone, Magic, Big Bird, Jordan, and James!

On the Warriors' side, most of the players don't have any special ideas about MVPs, and they don't feel anything when they see the awards on the other side.

Even Harden didn't care, his goal was to get a few more best sixth men, and God knew he could play so well and sit in the first place in terms of team strength.

But Curry couldn't be jealous!

Unlike Harden, Curry is a rather ambitious player, an ambition that has gradually expanded over the course of his career, just as Sun Ce originally wanted to establish himself in the NBA, and now he wants to attack the strongest man.

After the final preparation before the game, Sun Ce came to the technical table to put on his equipment and rub magnesium powder, and Curry also came.

Sun Ce looked down at Curry, who claimed to be only one centimeter shorter than him, and Curry looked up at Sun Ce.

Back then, when they reversed the Rockets in the opener of the 09-10 season, they both thought that they would do a big job in the future, but now the two have become rivals, and, based on the current situation of both sides, it is possible that they will be direct competitors for years to come.

Thinking back to nearly 5 years ago, the two were teenagers who didn't graduate from college, and they really didn't have any spirit at that time, they just worked hard together, and now, they have become the best players in their respective areas......

There wasn't much communication, Sun Ce was full of sighs but didn't know where to start, and Curry was afraid that Sun Ce would want to jump up and beat this guy as soon as he opened his mouth.

The starters of the two teams came to the court and played the seventh game, the starters of the two teams have long been very fixed, and the Grizzlies are still the strongest offensive combination, with Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Richard Jefferson, and Yi Jianlian's combination on the court.

It's not that I don't want to change, but there is no lineup that can play stronger than this, Whiteside Wonder Soldier went out to scare the Warriors in a wave, and the opponent began to find a coping strategy in the third game, and the reason why Wonder Soldier is a Wonder Soldier is because it came suddenly.

On the Warriors' side, Draymond Green also secured the starting position, starting alongside the Warriors' outside trio and Tabit.

At 7 p.m., the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game and threw the ball into the air......

Yi Jianlian jumped ball in the playoffs and won 7 consecutive wins!

Sun Ce rushed forward immediately when Yi Jianlian touched the ball, the Warriors were very alert, Iguodala and Draymond Green came up directly to block Sun Ce, and Iguodala didn't dare to let go of Sun Ce.

In the last game, Sun Ce played the inside line with his life, and his irascible performance brought a shadow to the Warriors players that may take months to dissipate.

Seeing this, Sun Ce was not in a hurry, waiting for Paul George to advance to the front court, Sun Ce fell to the right side of the three-second zone and leaned on Iguodala to ask for the ball!

Again!

Seeing that Sun Ce still wanted to play a triangle attack, Tabit directly took it back, regardless of Yi Jianlian, who was in the middle distance of the bottom line, and took it back to wrap Sun Ce.

Sun Ce divided Yi Jianlian on the weak side, Yi Jianlian withdrew from the three-point line when Tabit shrank, and made a three-point shot to catch the ball in the bottom corner...... Hit!

The three points on the edges of both sides, Yi Jianlian is getting more and more accurate! Although the position is fixed and the limitations are great, as a role player, he is already quite good, and he can't defend well, and the blocking and cutting and punching of the offensive end can make up for it!

When it came to the Warriors' offense, Curry received the ball tonight as usual and made a three-point shot against Richard Jefferson, who was chasing after the switch...... But unlike the past few games, tonight Curry missed the three-point shot without running out of the open space and without a cylinder!

This is only the first time, when it came to the 2nd minute and 39th second of the first quarter, Curry once again missed a quick three-point shot that caught the ball and turned around, which was quite unfavorable for the Warriors!

On the Grizzlies' side, Sun Ce and Yi Jianlian both scored three points at the beginning, and when Klay Thompson was stared at death and didn't give a chance at all, Sun Ce fell to the high and low backs, Yi Jianlian and Richard Jefferson were easy to have positions, and when Paul George organized the offense, Sun Ce helped Klay Thompson block and dismantle, and Sun Ce himself borrowed Yi Jianlian to block and dismantle and also got a vacant position.

Playing and fighting, the Grizzlies opened the game with a score of 13-9, and the Warriors called an early timeout at the 4:11 mark, waiting less than 5 minutes for the official timeout.

During this time, the Grizzlies took 10 shots and made 5 of 9 shots! Among them, Sun Ce and Yi Jianlian each scored a three-pointer, Richard Jefferson had a cut that caused a foul and made two free throws, Sun Ce once grabbed the offensive rebound by Yi Jianlian's containment of the offensive rebound, but unfortunately the basket was too hasty when he put the basket upside down, otherwise he would have led by 6 points.

The Warriors only scored 3 of 8 shots, and Curry did not score two three-pointers, but it affected Harden's play space, and he couldn't shoot the kind of hot hand that can be thrown out with a crooked body.

But Curry is Curry, and after the timeout came back, he made adjustments to his play, and Mark Jackson did a good job of making this substitution, replacing Iguodala with Harrison Barnes and using O'Neal Jr. and Speights on the inside line who could shoot from the field.

Curry changed his style of play after the timeout, focusing on single breakthroughs, his explosive speed and explosiveness are not good, but the rhythm and man-ball combination are too beautiful, Klay Thompson can limit Curry's pull-up jump shot in the breakthrough and cover Curry's space, but he can't prevent Curry from breaking inside to find a layup.

More than 1 minute after the timeout, Curry made two fouls and made 4 free throws, forcing the Grizzlies to call a timeout before 6 minutes, replacing Whiteside early, Sun Ce went inside, and the outside sent a trio of Beverley, Tony Allen, and Klay Thompson.

The point difference was chased to 1 point by Curry's 4 free throws and Harden's step-back three-point shot!

After the timeout, on the Warriors' side, after Curry started a break-through style of play, Harden became a pitcher, a containment point, and Harden's secondary offensive organization after Curry was assigned to him.

On the Grizzlies' side, it was very direct, Sun Ce and Klay Thompson flew three points, and Whiteside rushed!

At this time, it was the state of the fight, and Klay Thompson continued the three-point performance of the last game, and finally got an opportunity and seized the opportunity, and threw the first three points of the game in 6 minutes and 48 seconds in the first quarter, and then Sun Ce hit two consecutive three-point shots after blocking and dismantling, playing a wave of 9-4, and stretched the difference to 7 points!

The two teams began the anxious stage of chasing me, Curry and Harden, the pair of double point guards, is really powerful, their role transition is smooth, Curry shoots accurately, Harden is in charge, Iguodala is in control, Curry is not accurate in shooting, Harden's ability to maintain his state is good, Curry is in charge of Harden in assisting, and Iguodala is on the court during one of the two breaks to help control the ball.

The rotation lineup in the second half of the first quarter, the defensive battle in the first half of the second quarter and the sneak attack of the Warriors suddenly switching to the outside trio, and the Grizzlies relied on Livingston and Sun Ce's mid-range shots to withstand the opponent's sneak attack......

Entering the official timeout with 6:33 left in the second quarter, the Grizzlies led the Warriors by two points at 41-39!

Fighting, both teams gradually became the defense that blocked the opponent's three-point and contracted the basket, and the key to winning or losing the two teams became a mid-range shot!

Although the area outside the three-point line is wide, the position is fixed, and the basket is so big, and the easiest area to score now is the mid-range shooting area.

The official timeout for the second quarter came back, and on the Warriors' side, Curry, Harden, Jordan Crawford, Speights, and O'Neal Jr. lineup.

The Grizzlies fielded a combination of Sun Ce, Livingston, Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Yi Jianlian.

Every player on both teams has a mid-range shot!

On the Warriors' side, seeing Sun Ce and Yi Jianlian partnering inside, Sun Ce guarding the basket, Iguodala and Barnes, and Thabit were not there, they were really afraid of Sun Ce's basket protection ability, O'Neal Jr. and Speights did not go in to sit and play when they encountered Sun Ce's single defense or change defense, Sun Ce once triggered the "Optimus Pillar Level 3" basket vertical jump fan flying Harden pouted his ass hook hand throwing block, making the other party mistakenly think that he Sun Someone tonight was the same as the last game, and the defensive dominance under the basket exploded.

On the Grizzlies' side, in the face of the interior combination of Speights and O'Neal Jr., the impact is also slightly lacking.

Now it's time to fight for accuracy!

Curry's 9 free throws in the half tonight and Harden's 19 points in the half became the key to the Warriors' tight score!

In the case that Sun Ce played with his life in the half and found an opportunity to shoot 6 mid-range shots, and more than Harden, O'Neal Jr., and Speights combined, Curry, who had 15 points and 5 assists in the half, and Harden, who had 19 points and 3 assists in the half, teamed up to lead the team to tighten the score!

Sun Ce, who tried his best to get 25 points, 6 boards, 3 assists and 2 blocks in the half, still did not help the team to open up the difference, and the Grizzlies led the Warriors by 4 points at 59-55 into halftime.

……

At halftime, Sun Ce returned to the bathroom in the locker room, so tired that he was about to explode!

Not to mention the offense, he shot 19 times in the half, 10 of 19 shots, which is quite good, and the 9 shots from the middle and long distance are very beautiful, but the most tired thing is the defense, squatting on the inside and being frightened, for fear that the opponent will rush in with his life on the outside, but fortunately, it is the deterrent power of Harden that time that has played an effect.

Open the prop space, I was going to use the scoring king card, if you can win the tie-break, the scoring king card is too worthwhile, but the scoring king card has James in it...... Not good!

"Forget it, big brother of the learning machine, use the urinal card...... No, it's Rick Barry's invincible mid-shot card! ”

"Host uses Rick Barry's 1966-1967 version of the Star Experience Card, Ability Evaluation S (Peak), Offensive S+, Defense A+, Three-point None, Midrange Shot S+ (Maximum Shooting Area is 22-23 feet), Layup S-, Speed A+, Strength A-, Endurance S+, Bounce: S-, Injury Tendency: Absolute Health......

Averaged 35.6 points, 9.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game ......"

No ...... Sun Ce looked at the ability evaluation and statistics of this real small forward, who is also a score-based celebrity, at the peak of his personal performance, and he was really amazing!

But the mid-pitch is 22-23 feet...... Sun Ce remembers that the bottom corner three-pointer was only 22 feet!

That's when the system prompt comes.

"Based on the characteristics of the playing style, body type, and physical fitness, the host is 70% compatible with Rick Barry.
