When the official timeout reached the third quarter, the Grizzlies led by 1 point 70-69! In the first half of the third quarter, there was a wave of 16-10!

Sun Ce couldn't have imagined that the key to overtaking the score was that he made a foul tonight!

Although there were only 5 free throws and 3 hits in the third quarter, the main reason was that Courtney Lee couldn't help but knock Sun Ce down directly when he fouled for the fourth time, and Sun Ce lost both free throws, but beating Courtney Lee down was the key to the Grizzlies' overtaking of the score.

If a main player has a foul crisis, even a well-staffed team like the Nuggets, their head coach will be a little flustered, and although they have three top-notch outside defenders, Courtney Lee is the best one!

Courtney Lee has to be athletic, shot, defensive, and try not to complain, and the other two are good, but can't meet all the traits that a 3-and-D player needs like Courtney Lee.

After Ariza came up, the Grizzlies were already prepared, and Ariza didn't play as well as he did in the second half of the first quarter, and the Grizzlies left him empty, which had an effect.

Sun Ce played 24 minutes, made 6 of 13 shots, 8 of 13 free throws, and scored 22 points, 9 boards, 6 assists and 2 blocks!

Sun Ce + Conley's dual point guards, played well tonight!

Originally, Sun Ce wanted to continue to fight, and there were physical potions to use, but after the official timeout, Coach Hollins replaced him to rest, and let Jason Williams go up to hold up for a while in advance, along with the lineup of Tony Allen, Paul George, Randolph, and Jordan Jr.

Sun Ce didn't refuse, just be a quiet team player today, and it feels really good to play this kind of game tonight.

If I have to say, this is a team vs team match!

But after the pause, the Grizzlies didn't expect the Nuggets to also send a double point guard!

Lawson and Lowry got on it together!

With the addition of Wilson Chandler, Gallinari, and Chris Anderson's frontcourt combination, the Nuggets' lineup looks as short as it gets.

The two inside lines are both 2.08 meters, Wilson Chandler is 3 cm shorter than Paul George, and the guard line is 1.8 meters and one 1.85 meters!

Due to Ariza's flaws on the offensive end being exploited by the Grizzlies; Afflaro's athleticism is too average, he has no speed to run and jump, no ability to run and jump, and he can't defend purely by consciousness and body shape, and he can't deal with Sun Ce; Courtney Lee was by Sun Ce again, and Courtney Lee's four fouls tonight were all caused by Sun Ce, so George Carr directly sent a dual point guard lineup, wanting to fight with the Grizzlies for dual point guards.

George Karl didn't expect the Grizzlies to replace the lineup of Sun Ce + Conley + Morrow + Batile + Gasol Jr. before the official timeout, and actually played five up and five down!

Coach Hollins' sass, almost flashed to George Karl's waist!

Neither side expected the other's substitution strategy, and the situation began to become chaotic.

The second half of the third quarter was basically a gamble, the Nuggets' double point guards were difficult to defend, and Tony Allen gave Lowry, who performed well in the first half, a lot of restrictions, but Lawson played well, and when he saw Sun Ce today, Lawson simply fought hard.

The Grizzlies, on their side, relied mainly on Randolph's singles and Jordan Jr.'s secondary offense to score.

The situation was so chaotic that the managers of the two teams did not change the core lineup, and Coach Hollins insisted on using Jason Williams, who has a few minutes of energy per game, plus Randolph's singles as the core; George Karl, for his part, insisted on using two point guards with two forwards with one-on-one ability, plus a serious interior lineman.

At this stage, the two teams sometimes play like headless flies, and sometimes they play well.

In the first half of the fourth quarter, Coach Hollins only replaced the physically exhausted Jason Williams with Conley and continued to maintain this lineup, Yi Jianlian and Jordan Jr. alternated, Randolph was the offensive core, and the forward guards Paul George, Tony Allen, Battier, and Morrow rotated.

The Nuggets are also the same, with two point guards playing all the time.

During this period, the scores of the two teams were very anxious, but neither manager was willing to make changes first.

Because they're still scoring! Chaos is chaotic, both sides are scoring, who knows if you will suddenly lose points if you change the style of play, there was a period of time in the second half of the first quarter when the Grizzlies encountered that situation, and the Nuggets also encountered it in the first half of the third quarter, at this time it depends on which side can survive better!

It wasn't until the sixth minute of the fourth quarter that when the Grizzlies trailed by four points at 96-100, Coach Hollins couldn't help but call a timeout and entered an official timeout.

Coach Hollins felt that his rotation was surprising enough, and the head coach across the street was like a madman! Don't be a superstar, the style of play is still so aggressive!

In the past few years, George Karl has constantly refreshed Coach Hollins' perception of him, and the two players are an era, which is very familiar, but if Coach Hollins wants to replace a scoring superstar like Anthony with a group of role players, he can't do it and can't accept it, but George Karl played a decisive role in the deal that sent Anthony away.

And then the Nuggets' style of play...... The Spurs have never given up on the troika, and the Nuggets' style of play is too much for Coach Hollins to understand.

It's not ready, if in the playoffs, Coach Hollins is confident that he can solve the Nuggets in five games!

However, that was all later, and now this cold encounter with the Nuggets, who may be in the best condition, has once again fallen behind on the Grizzlies' side!

With 5 minutes and 51 seconds left, we are four points behind and still within acceptable limits.

Coach Hollins began to rotate, rested for a full quarter, and Sun Ce, who had recovered well, was replaced.

Conley was not substituted this time, whether it was to prevent Lowry or let Lawson do okay, and the first half was much rested, and his physical condition was good.

Sun Ce sat and rested for a whole quarter when the score was anxious, watching the team fall behind little by little, anxious, but this time he calmed down and didn't insist on playing.

He knows that it's not that his teammates don't play well, but that the other party is really good!

As the core of the team's perimeter, it's already great that his teammates can play like this when he's resting, after all, the team lacks the strongest point on the perimeter.

In almost a quarter of the game, their side scored 26 points, and the offensive end played okay, as for the opponent to score 31 points, there was no way to prevent it.

Coach Hollins' five up and five down this time may not be so perfect, but the result is not bad, and if you change the previous Coach Hollins who paid too much attention to detail and didn't take into account that the players are actually very good, maybe the third quarter will be played by George Karl!

Sometimes bold rotation is beneficial!

And now that he's up, his physical condition is superior! Sun Ce came to the sidelines to move his body, and the final decisive battle arrived!
