Sun Ce also relied on playing more minutes and scoring 7 points in a row at the beginning, playing more than 17 minutes in the half, scoring 13 points, 6 boards, 5 assists and 2 blocks.

Although his stats are better than the opposing two point guards, mainly in rebounding, today ...... The team is in a disadvantageous situation!

Originally, the score difference may be a little smaller, and it will not be stretched to 5 points, mainly because Sun Ce had a round of defensive mistakes, he wanted to cap Lawson too much, and was used by Lawson!

Lawson passed the ball to Courtney Lee, who was vacated by Sun Ce, Courtney Lee was made up after receiving the ball, and this time Courtney Lee was ready to pass to Al Harrington, this poor version of Jamison had anything, three-point shooting, and stretched the difference to 5 points in one fell swoop, and the Grizzlies chased it until halftime and couldn't recover the difference.

Lawson had 5 points and 6 assists in 13 minutes, Lowry had 15 points and 2 assists in 11 minutes, and the two combined had 20 points and 8 assists, and the performance was too explosive!

Back in the locker room, Coach Hollins discussed with the offensive assistant coach and the defensive assistant coach for a while before starting to lay out the tactics.

It was a very stressful game, but it was a very stressful game for the Grizzlies.

Not to mention, although the tactics of the Nuggets and the Spurs are not different at all, the Nuggets' tactics are nothing new, the main thing is that the lineup is good, but no matter what the tactics, the lineup is the key.

In addition to the top power of the Nuggets, the Nuggets are not as strong as the troika, and the other players are not much better than the Spurs, and Al Harrington, a player who averaged 17 points per game last season and 20 points per game last season, is only the fourth choice on the inside of the Nuggets!

A lineup like the Nuggets, as long as the core of the organization is appropriate, can play any tactics well, there are too many players available, most of them are young players, there is no problem of aging the lineup, their lineup strength is obviously strong to overflow, and the lineup is so good that no matter which head coach comes, he can't fully bring out everyone's ability.

In terms of the top defensive power on the outside, the Grizzlies have Mr. Tony, and they have Ariza, Afflalo, and Courtney-Lee!

Although the three-man defense is not as good as Tony Allen, he can still have three-point ability or counterattack cut awareness and single play ability, so strong that George Karl can flip the cards and let anyone play more today, and he is not worried about not being useful.

If three or four superstars in their prime get together in the first team, there may be contradictions within the team, but as long as these non-superstar-level but powerful players can win, the contradictions and disputes over the ball and playing time will be covered up, and the better the record, the harder they play!

Therefore, the Grizzlies are playing harder!

Except for the Knicks, this is the real state and equal strength opponent in the past month!

As a result, the coaching staff has become more pre-game, and whether the game is won or lost, it is important for them!

It could be a game where they can really regain their form from the first half of the season before they head into February!

It's been a long time since I've had such a full focus!

The last time I played the Mavericks in the Christmas War, although I lost, but that time the whole team was really hard working and focused, but after the Christmas War, it entered the "idle war" stage and entered the fatigue period, even if the Knicks were a halftime backward comeback, but it was not how hard the whole team worked, but Sun Ce scored 40 points in the second half and directly beat the opponent down.

Today, the Nuggets, who are in the best shape after entering the middle of the season, may be at their best, and their Grizzlies have regained that focus!

The coaching staff was also excited, focused and calm in their thinking.

Sun Ce is also very devoted, this game is not his business alone, he does not plan to use the star experience card, first of all, it is not necessary, a game without events is not a must-win.

The main thing is that the sense of involvement in a game that requires the whole team to work together is fantastic, and the game is always a team effort, and if he really has the ability to turn things around on his own and always take over the game alone, that's another story.

But now he doesn't have that ability, maybe he doesn't have that kind of real superstar strength for three or four years, it is necessary to rely on it, to involve powerful teammates, and you can't always point to him every time he gets into trouble, the playoffs are okay, and it's better for everyone to fight together in the regular season.

……

In the third quarter, the Nuggets continued to send Lawson as the core, Lowry is going to play the key moment in the fourth quarter, Lawson does not have that ability at present, unless it is a crushing game, otherwise Lawson is easy to drop the chain at the critical moment.

Lawson started the third quarter with a lineup of Courtney Lee, Wilson Chandler, Al Harrington, and Chris Anderson.

The Grizzlies sent a combination of Sun Ce, Conley, Morrow, Yi Jianlian, and Jordan Jr.

The coaches and players are working hard, and the Grizzlies' defense has improved somewhat!

Conley's speed is much slower than Lawson's, but his defensive awareness is really good, unlike Tony Allen, who is good at pressing defense and likes to give the opponent physical contact and is repeatedly getting rid of by Lawson, Conley is even better at defending than Tony Allen!

Conley did only one thing, between Lawson and the rim, Lawson had three-point ability, shooting 37 percent from three-point range and averaging 1.2 three-pointers per game, but Conley chose to ignore it.

Although Conley is not so good at playing a defensive role, it does have a little effect, Lawson is not as invincible as he was in the first half, and for the Grizzlies, a little effect is enough, at least it didn't let the Nuggets run all the time, and the Nuggets came up in the third quarter with more Lawson, Wilson Chandler, and Al Harrington three-man singles.

On the offensive side, Sun Ce played a key role!

Courtney Lee is so depressed that she can't do it! Sun Ce rarely makes fouls when he beats others, but when he hits him, he comes to make fouls.

Courtney Lee reacted too quickly, with good defensive awareness and ability, but he was still a third-year player after all, and he couldn't think of a way to deal with Sun Ce for a while, and Sun Ce stared at him to make fouls.

After more than three minutes in the third quarter, Courtney Lee was substituted after two consecutive fouls......

Courtney Lee, a player who doesn't possess the ball at all, defends hard and works hard, is not liked by a coach, he is the kind of player whose statistics are very average but can still get an annual salary of tens of millions at the age of 35, although he is not as strong as Afflaro and Ariza, but George Carr just likes to use him, it is really easy to use.

Courtney Lee committed 4 fouls, George Carr was forced to replace Courtney Lee again for Ariza.

This substitution gave the Grizzlies a chance to chase points!

The Grizzlies defended the Nuggets for 4 consecutive rounds, and their side seized the opportunity to overtake the score in the middle of the third quarter!
