In the NBA, there is often a period when a team is in excellent shape due to various factors, and at that stage, no matter how strong the team encounters them, they will be beaten.

For example, the Pacers last season, the Heat in the 12-13 season, and the Spurs in the 10-11 season...... But there will come a time when this good state will come to an end.

During the winning streak of these teams, when some strong teams meet them, they want to be the one who ends these winning streaks, prove their strength and make headlines...... The purpose is many.

Everyone thinks that they will be the lucky one, and no matter how many "unexpected" results in this situation, it will not affect the next time such a situation occurs, the person still sees himself as the lucky one who may appear.

This is the case for the Knicks, even if they were beaten so badly by Sun Ce last year, they feel that the Grizzlies have won so many games in a row, and the state may be over, and the general winning streak team will be very uncomfortable after the end of the state of doing everything smoothly, two or three consecutive defeats are normal, and it takes a certain amount of time to adjust from the situation of how to play and how to end smoothly.

However, Sun Ce's good state is obviously not over, and Sun Ce's state is not over, which means that Klay Thompson's state is not over, so Paul George, as an organizational forward, can play very well, 3 minutes 17 seconds and 3 minutes 40 seconds in the first quarter, after Sun Ce and Klay Thompson scored two three-pointers in a row, the Grizzlies' offense exploded again, Paul George took advantage of Sun Ce and Klay Thompson's threat, and continued to play high and low pass with Randolph, Randolph can often find opportunities to face Banjani, Every time, you can easily carry the opponent and put the ball in the basket.

After a wave of 14-6, the Grizzlies led the Knicks by 12 points at 22-12 and stopped the Knicks at 5 minutes and 29 seconds into the first quarter!

The Knicks players are going to explode on the spot!

Looking at Sun Ce's 2 shots and 2 shots, including 1 of 1 three-pointers, plus 2 of 2 free throws to easily get 7 points, 2 boards, 2 assists and 1 block, the Grizzlies scored 22 points in less than half a quarter, even if their Knicks relied on Dragic to score 6 points alone, Bargnani threw a three-pointer, and Howard had a 2+1 and even added free throws, but he was still pressed to the ground and rubbed.

Entering the official timeout, the Grizzlies began to rotate, and the combination of Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Carter, Richard Jefferson, and Yi Jianlian was replaced.

On the Knicks' side, Dragic certainly didn't dare to be replaced, and the combination of Shambaught, Ariza, Louis Armondson and Howard was replaced.

D'Antoni is really right, the defense is not done by him, it is made by the Zen master, he and his brother and other assistant coaches are the type of offense first, the Zen master has run to be the executive president, and he has to come to help with the defense, there are people under him, and the defense of the Zen master is still very good.

But in the face of the Splash Brothers, one of whom scored a three-pointer and the other immediately followed up with a three-pointer, D'Antoni really had no choice but to use Dragic, Ariza, and Howard to death, and the other two who were replaced were also the kind that could shoot or cut but had defensive ability.

Now D'Antoni wants to defend, so he doesn't mind the help of Zen Master, a former super coach who is very good at defense, but in this case, he has only one way, try to send people who can defend and attack at the same time.

Fortunately, the Knicks are indeed willing to spend money, Calderon, Scheved and others are not on the lineup, the rotation lineup is still very good, Louis Armondson is also a player coached by D'Antoni, and the cooperation with Nash and Dragic back then was very good, although he is a white man short inside, but he has good athleticism, strong ball style, defensive play, and good blocking.

There are rich people, except for the absence of Nash, D'Antoni returned to the Knicks as a head coach this time, and the coaching experience is no worse than when he was with the Suns, and the depth of the roster is indeed good.

However, unlike when they were with the Suns, they even had a chance to beat the Spurs in the playoffs, even if they were already doing a good job defensively, but no amount of role players was as good as a real superstar, Dragic and Chandler Parsons obviously have nothing to do with the word superstar, and Howard is only on the verge of an All-Star.

They met Sun Ce, a real superstar, and Sun Ce has been in good shape since the beginning of the season and has continued to the present, in this case, the Knicks team with ordinary first-class strength is really unstoppable!

In the second half of the first quarter, Sun Ce played very calmly, should shoot, should wave, pass when he should pass, and grabbed rebounds on the defensive end, after the first quarter, Sun Ce got 11 points, 5 boards, 4 assists, 1 block and 1 steal, helping the Grizzlies to start the game 40-30!

That is, the Grizzlies lineup basically had no defense, and Dragic and Howard bit the score.

The Knicks still have strength, and in the second quarter, after Sun Ce went down to rest, Blake, Paul George, Pierce, Yi Jianlian, and Gobert's lineup came on the court, and the Grizzlies did not continue to dominate.

Calderon, Shambaugh, Chandler Parsons, Lance Thomas, and Banyani played well, and Gobert couldn't expand and limited his defense, and D'Antoni was really capable of playing this bunch of role players.

When the official timeout reached the second quarter, the Knicks chased the score to 44-50, and the Grizzlies were beaten 14-10, and the lead was reduced to six points.

When Sun Ce played with Klay Thompson, Paul George, Randolph, and Larry Sanders, Sun Ce didn't dare to be careless when he looked at the combination of Dragic, Shambaugh, Ariza, Banjani, and Howard who were replaced on the opposite side.

Although they are in good shape, but at this stage, he feels that his teammates are indeed a little floating, after playing the Thunder team to get 23 consecutive wins, they are a little drifting against the Raptors, and Klay Thompson meets DeRozan to defend very hard, and the others are more or less floating.

This is something that can't be helped, Sun Ce understands the mentality of his teammates very well, if he doesn't have the goal of winning 25 consecutive victories, he will float.

And not only will he have to win 25 straight tonight, but he'll also have to score more points than the Knicks' top scorer, more rebounds than the Knicks' most rebounders, and more assists than the Knicks' most assists...... He is under a lot of pressure, so he can play so calmly and ball by ball.

Fortunately, his teammates are drifting back and forth, and the state is really good, and the good form has continued since the beginning, so as long as he plays well and holds the last pass, it is not a big problem.

If the other side is really in super state, he can't help it, and the invincible OK combination in the 01 playoffs was overturned by Iverson alone.

However, the Grizzlies, who played a lot after the start of the second quarter, really gave the Knicks a chance, and in the last 5 minutes of the first half, Dragic and Howard on the Knicks' side led the team to tighten the score.

At halftime, the Knicks trailed the Grizzlies by 7 points at 58-65 and entered the intermission to maintain the possibility of a comeback!

Sun Ce got 18 points, 7 boards, 6 assists, 1 block and 2 steals in the half, and the Grizzlies' overall offense was good, but they were just playing, and the defensive waves in the opening stage were gone, and after the lead was played, the defensive end was floating.

……

During the halftime break, Coach Hollins didn't say anything about the fact that everyone was a little floating, this is normal, if it weren't for Sun Ce's hard work to continue the winning streak, Coach Hollins would have wanted to carry out a stocking strategy for the players after playing the Thunder team to get 23 consecutive wins and the third longest winning streak in history, whatever they play, until the end of the winning streak.

This is what the head coach of a team with a long winning streak should be prepared for, and the adjustment after the streak is broken, because the winning streak will definitely be broken, and with so far from the all-time first record of 33 consecutive wins and the second all-time record of 30 consecutive wins, Coach Hollins feels that it is better to break off early after winning 23 consecutive wins, unless it is very close to the top two.

But Sun Ce's focused attitude, Coach Hollins was surprised, the first 18 consecutive wins were fine, but after getting 20 consecutive wins, Sun Ce has always maintained concentration, very active details, very calm, and has always maintained a calm and focused mentality.

Think about the 12-13 season, how far has the Heat drifted after 23 consecutive wins, James and Wade have begun to play tricks, and Bosh has run to change direction and break through, how to wave and how to play.

And Sun Ce here, it doesn't feel like he is floating up after 24 consecutive wins, but like he has lost 24 in a row, he works very hard to handle every goal, and plays 22 minutes when playing the Raptors and scores 26 points very efficiently, helping the team to win.

It's the same tonight, their Grizzlies came to play at Madison Square Garden Arena, and after just more than 5 minutes of defense in the first quarter, they began to drift, and the defense didn't do well, which led to fewer defensive counterattacks, and the scoring was not as efficient as when they played defensive counterattacks in the first 5 minutes.

But Sun Ce, who should be the most floating and the most waved, played very calmly except for the pot ball that he had to throw, and got 6 assists in the half!

Sun Ce loves to break all kinds of records, Coach Hollins both appreciates and is helpless, because Sun Ce has really broken many records that other players dare not think of in such a mentality, and helplessly because this is really a test of their coaching staff and other players in the team, not everyone has the energy and strength to follow Sun Ce to hit the record.

Luckily, they have a deep squad.

Since Sun Ce wants to continue to rush, Coach Hollins also feels that his emotions are high after he has no choice, who doesn't want to take the record? He is just for the overall consideration of the entire regular season, since the core wants to rush, then rush!

……

Returning from halftime, Coach Hollins switched on a combination of Livingston, Klay Thompson, Pierce, Larry Sanders, and Randolph, giving Sun Ce and Paul George a break first.

On the Knicks' side, Dragic, who was in his prime, was not ready to rest, and had a chance to turn the tables, and D'Antoni unknowingly opened an eight-man rotation and replaced the lineup of Dragic, Shambaught, Chandler Parsons, and Banyani Howard.

The Grizzlies really gave their chances, and Dragic, who scored 15 points at halftime in the first half, exploded at the start of the second half! helped the Knicks play a wave of 17-14, chasing the score to 75-79 and narrowing the gap to within 5 points!

Originally, Coach Hollins was as stable as a mountain, because their combination defended the Knicks pitchers very well, but I didn't expect Dragic to explode so ferociously!

With only Howard scoring a dunk, Chandler Parsons making a mid-range shot, and no other scoring, Dragic scored a three-pointer on 4-of-5 shooting in the half-quarter, plus 4-of-4 free throws, and scored 13 points in a single quarter!

Seeing that the difference was narrowed to 4 points, Coach Hollins hurriedly replaced Sun Ce and Paul George, and then sent Yi Jianlian and Stoudemire, with Klay Thompson, to send a pure bombardment lineup.

The defense is unstoppable, and at halftime, Coach Hollins emphasized defense, and successfully mobilized the enthusiasm of the players, and did a good job, but the opportunity was given for most of the first half, allowing Dragic to play the form, the offensive point guard's scoring explosiveness is not bad, and he once faced the Spurs in the playoffs with 23 points in a single quarter to help the Suns sweep the Spurs 4-0 to complete revenge.

Thanks to Sun Ce and Paul George, they also switched to an offensive lineup, because Dragic's outburst was not over, and he scored 8 points and 3 assists in the second half of the third quarter, helping the Knicks to score 19 points in the first quarter!

The Grizzlies scored 17 points in the first quarter, but the Knicks continued to close the two-point gap.

At the end of the third quarter, the Grizzlies led the Knicks by two points 96-94 and entered the intermission!

Looking at Dragic's 36 points and 6 assists in the third quarter, Sun Ce looked at his 27 points, 9 boards, 8 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals in the third quarter, he didn't expect such a situation at all, Dragic scored 21 points in a single quarter in the third quarter!

Rebounding is okay, Howard is now working very hard to avoid being stolen by the Grizzlies' strong rush group tonight to grab more offensive rebounds, so Howard didn't rebound much, played 29 minutes in the third quarter, and got 10 points, 5 boards, 1 block and 1 steal.

Assists, Sun Ce did not lose to Dragic, and it was relatively easier for him to get assists, Dragic is the type of individual offense that is stronger than organizational offense, and 6 assists in the third quarter is already beyond the usual level.

But the score, Dragic scored 36 points in the third quarter, 40+ didn't run!

Dragic has 40+ once in his career, and he got it when he played Irving, Sun Ce really couldn't imagine that Dragic would have a chance to get 40+ in the face of Paul George and Klay Thompson's rotational defense.

However, after the third quarter of this score, players other than Sun Ce on the Grizzlies' side woke up!

After the intermission, the Grizzlies sent a combination of Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Carter, Richard Jefferson, and Yi Jianlian.

The state came, and it couldn't be stopped, in the third quarter, Dragic couldn't stop it, helping the Knicks play a single quarter with a score of 36-31, after the start of the fourth quarter, Klay Thompson helped Sun Ce ignite his hand, Sun Ce shot two three-pointers in more than 4 minutes, a defensive counterattack of the bottom line hook, a basket that received Carter's ball, a strong dunk under the basket to make it 2+1, cut 11 points in a row, and also got 2 assists, the key is that during this time, their shrinking defense had an effect, Dragic's supernatural state seems to have exhausted his touch tonight, Banjani was blocked and the open three-point position was iron, the Knicks only scored two field goals and two free throws in more than 4 minutes to score a total of only 6 points, and the Grizzlies played a wave of 15-6 to stretch the difference to 11 points in one fell swoop!

The Splash Brothers scored three three-pointers in more than 4 minutes, and D'Antoni, the head coach, was stunned, and when Sun Ce hit the second three-pointer in the single quarter to stretch the difference to 11 points, D'Antoni reacted and called a timeout.

When Curry came here to score 50 points in a single game before, D'Antoni was stunned in the third quarter, but when he encountered this situation again, he still couldn't react.

What a morale blow!

Dragic's comeback opportunity and morale for the Knicks in the third quarter were beaten out of temper by the Splash Brothers!

Looking at Sun Ce's 38 points, 12 boards, 10 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals, more than 4 minutes, Sun Ce was stunned to tie the score of Dragic, who scored two points in the fourth quarter.

The Grizzlies, for their part, also fielded an outside triangle with a starting lineup of Randolph and Larry Sanders.

The Grizzlies players who were woken up by Dragic in the third quarter did not dare to be careless, and they had to hold on for more than 7 minutes in the end!

No one can say that the state is bad, just like Dragic's amazing performance in the third quarter, it is unpredictable, and the good state of the Grizzlies has surprised most people from the beginning, and no one would have thought that the Grizzlies, who had just formed a new lineup, were the first teams in the league to enter the state, let alone that they could continue to maintain their form after 24 consecutive wins.

In the second half of the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies, who refocused on defense, faced the Knicks' large and four small space lineup, and they really couldn't defend it, they were still afraid of Dragic, and Dragic got 2 points and 4 assists in the first half.

However, the Grizzlies played well offensively, Sun Ce scored 5 points, 4 boards, 5 assists and 1 steal, helping the Grizzlies play a score of 18-17 in the last 7 minutes, and firmly maintained a 10-point lead to the end!

In the end, relying on 37 minutes of 24 shooting, including 6 of 12 three-pointers, plus 9 of 11 free throws, Sun Ce, who scored 43 points, 16 boards, 15 assists, 3 blocks and 3 steals, and the excellent offensive performance of other players, the Grizzlies narrowly defeated the Knicks 129-117 in this defensive battle and won 25 consecutive victories!

Look at the score...... Sun Ce felt that their average points per game this season may not be able to be suppressed, but they won!

Moreover, he got 40+ 3 times 15! The excellent feel of his teammates was well used by him, scoring and assisting with both hands!
