At 85-88, the Grizzlies trailed by as many as three points.

Sun Ce played 9 minutes in the third quarter, and was replaced in the last 3 minutes, but narrowed the gap from 5 points to 3 points.

Because Sun Ce was very hesitant to fight after the official timeout in the third quarter, Jimmy Butler, who came on as a substitute for Paul George, played better than Sun Ce.

When Sun Ce returned to the bench to rest, he also knew his problem, that is, he didn't dare to fight as much as in the first half, because he knew that his physical strength was only at the B+ level, and he couldn't fight as hard as in the first half, and he couldn't last half time.

"It's not as good as a stamina potion, but the stamina potions were used in the last game against the Spurs......"

Sun Ce felt so stressed!

His offensive performance in the third quarter was average, with only 2 points and 2 assists, but in the 9 minutes he played, his defense was okay, with 3 boards, 1 steal and 1 block.

After the third quarter, Sun Ce has 22 points, 8 boards, 9 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals, and it seems that there is no problem with the triple-double.

However, the team is still behind, and the opponent is the Lakers, who have Kobe Bryant and Paul, the Lakers who have a dream backcourt, and play the fourth quarter with them when they are behind......

Although Sun Ce couldn't continue the first-half performance in the third quarter, Coach Hollins called him by name as soon as he entered the break.

Swapping him off and bringing Nash up just to get him adjusted, not to put him on the bench and not let him go.

Sun Ce was called by name and immediately stood up and moved his body to prepare for the competition.

Sun Ce has rarely been so bottomless in key games, especially in the past two seasons, they have been winning.

But tonight it did, Kobe Bryant played very steadily in the first three quarters, scored 27 points in the third quarter, and shot 9-of-15 from the field with a frighteningly high shooting rate.

It may be that the highest stage is just around the corner, and at this time, Kobe Bryant can often burst out with the fiercest fighting spirit of the whole season and play the most brutal performance.

And Sun Ce himself, in the third quarter just now, didn't dare and couldn't fight like in the first half.

He is different from Ginobili, Ginobili said that he is a sixth man, Ginobili doesn't have to think too much, he will fight hard when he goes up, chase points or open up the difference, he is such a simple task, he doesn't have to think about whether he has physical strength next, when he plays in a good state, when he will be hard steel to the end.

But sometimes you really shouldn't hesitate, because of hesitation, Sun Ce played 9 minutes in the third quarter, really relying on the double bears, his role may not be as good as the Mavericks' Conley, in addition to defense, the offensive end almost showed side effects.

The point is that the feel is not guaranteed now!

Sun Ce sat on the bench, and what he regretted the most was that he didn't take advantage of his best physical strength to just start him in the third quarter, since there is a stage that needs to rely on teammates, so instead of relying on teammates in front of him to make his back state not necessarily have continuity, it is better to be directly rigid at the beginning, and then rely on teammates later.

Sometimes it's not a bad thing to hand over key moments to teammates, the key is that he has to help his teammates lay a good foundation in the early time.

The lesson is something that can only be had after a loss, and Sun Ce now knows what choice he should make when facing such a situation.

But now, Sun Ce can only hope that his luck will be good......

"Luck?"

is about to play, and Coach Hollins is still arranging positional warfare offensive and defensive tactics.

Playing and running, obviously can't beat the Lakers, you have to press the rhythm, the Lakers are a group of players who can run more than the Spurs, the two cores of the year, Kobe Bryant's pure offensive run is no problem, and there are more role players.

The positional battle style in the third quarter is the best choice, and it can even send Nash up, 4 drag 1 with Nash to play.

In the final three minutes of the third quarter, it was the lineup of Nash, Jimmy Butler, Paul George, Randolph and Larry Sanders who narrowed the gap to three points.

Sun Ce thought of luck, opened the skill plate, and watched the classic demon knife come out of the sheath.

Bet on it!

If you win, you will be happy, and if you lose, you should take responsibility!

Randolph got 25 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists in the first three quarters, and he has done his best, and he will not play until he rests at the critical moment.

As soon as my mind moved, the system prompt came.

"The host uses the skill: Demon Knife Unsheathed (1/3), because the host is using the Manu-Ginobili Star Experience Card, triggering the skill: Demon Knife Unsheathed special use method, the host can choose any of the three effects independently.

Optional effects:

Effect 1.After use, there is a one-third chance that the host will be very easy to enter the optimal feel state......

Effect 2.After use, there is a one-third chance that the host will enter a whimsical state......

Effect 3.After use, there is a one-third probability that the host will enter a sluggish state......"

"! Keeping your strength and hitting it crookedly? ”

……

……

At the end of the break, the players of both teams returned to the field.

On the Lakers' side, Paul, Kobe, Leonard, Earl Clark, and Jamison are on the court.

Two players with a height of 2.03 to 2.08 meters form a mini interior line, which has become the new symbol of the Lakers.

The Lakers' morale is now high, and it is also an important game to boost the morale of their own team if they want to win the first game of the series to avoid falling into passivity.

For any team with home court advantage, holding the first game is the most important part of the whole series!

It's not that you can't win if you lose home advantage, but you can't lose the first game, and that's about the morale of the whole series.

Up to now, the NBA has a history of more than 60 years, and from the perspective of probability and statistics, the team without home-court advantage wins the first game of the series, and the probability of winning the series has reached 67%!

That is, the team without home-court advantage wins the first game of the series, and two out of every three times succeeds in eliminating the team with the better record.

The team with home court advantage wins the first game of the series, and the probability of advancing is more than 80 percent......

That is to say, in fact, the team without home field advantage has a very low probability of qualifying, and the probability of winning the first game is also very low, but once the team without home field advantage wins the first game, it means that the strength of the team without home field advantage may really be stronger than the team with home field advantage.

On the Grizzlies' side, the lineup of Nash, Jimmy Butler, Sun Ce, Yi Jianlian, and Lopez Jr. came on, and when it came to the Western Finals, Beverley was put back on the bench, and Lopez Jr. came up, and his height became very effective against the Lakers, which was unthinkable before, but now it is.

Sun Ce was very excited now, he glanced at his ability evaluation, and the status bar was marked with the words "Demon Knife"!
