Nine Hundred and Sixty. The Little Bully's Counterattack Has Begun!

Although as a teammate, Nash also felt Sun Ce's explosion several times at close range, but each time it was very sudden.

It's okay to catch the opponent off guard, but can you remind your teammates when you are in good condition?

After stealing and helping the team to counterattack, Tony stayed in the front court directly, waiting for the opponent to serve and press the whole court.

Where has Wayne Ellington encountered such a battle? How can top defensive players defend them so seriously?

Even if they are ahead by a little bit, shouldn't strong teams play them casually with a smile? How can a team be like the Grizzlies!

Wayne Ellington quickly picked up the ball before Beasley ran back and sent it to Beasley.

Beasley didn't refuse and pushed the ball to the front court.

This Tony Allen can't press the whole court. Beasley is 206 cm and 107 kg, and he is a breakthrough player. This is not the type of defense Tony Allen is good at.

Of course, it is not the type of defense Sun Ce is good at.

After receiving the serve, Beasley quickly advanced to the scene. Sun Ce had just moved in front of Beasley and was looking behind him. He decided to move his steps and find opportunities for double-teaming according to the positions of his teammates and opponents, but the opponent didn't care so much and broke through directly!

He passed Sun Ce in one step. Sun Ce quickly turned around and chased him. Fortunately, Yi Jianlian's defense made Beasley change direction slightly. Sun Ce caught up. Beasley grabbed the ball and jumped. Sun Ce also jumped. Beasley pulled the rod to avoid Sun Ce's defense and made a layup!

35 to 32, the Timberwolves continued to lead by two points.

This ball showed Beasley's characteristics vividly.

His skills are very comprehensive, with a 38% three-point shooting rate, averaging 0.9 per game, a 40% long two-point shooting rate, averaging 1 per game, and a mid-range and close-range shooting rate of about 42. Sun Ce had to defend the outside line, and Yi Jianlian had to make up for it in the mid-range after Sun Ce was passed.

Beasley is very good at controlling the ball and making sharp breakthroughs.

But he also showed the characteristics of a ball possession black hole. Yi Jianlian expanded the ball, and Pekovic had a chance to directly receive the ball and layup, but Beasley didn't pass it.

However, Beasley's offense is really powerful. Now the Timberwolves need a master of chaos like him, and he did a very good job. Love scored 10 points in the first quarter of the Timberwolves, which was the highest scorer, but now he was surpassed by Beasley with 11 points.

In the offense and defense transition, Sun Ce picked up the ball and passed it to Nash, running towards the front court.

The Timberwolves tasted the sweetness. In the first quarter, they shrank the basket for a long time, allowing the Grizzlies to shoot from mid-range and long distances, allowing them to rely on offense to get a 4-point lead in the first quarter. In the second quarter, they naturally had to play according to effective offense and defense strategies.

The Timberwolves knew very well that if they wanted to win against the Grizzlies, they had to take a different approach and could not play according to conventional tactics, otherwise there would be no hope!

The Grizzlies' offense is not as bad as last season. This season, they average 101.4 points per game, 1.2 points higher than the league average. After several pick-and-rolls, the Timberwolves have determined that the two inside players will never leave the inside, even if Sun Ce just made a three-pointer.

After Sun Ce arrived at the frontcourt, he circled the baseline, ran out from the basket and ran to the right corner. He suddenly changed direction and temporarily upgraded to the S-level burst acceleration and ran towards the 45-degree angle. Beasley was thrown away in an instant.

Nash immediately passed the ball to the right 45-degree angle. Sun Ce received the ball and had a big gap. Before Beasley rushed over, he adjusted a little and took a three-pointer... and hit it again!

35-35 tie!

When the Timberwolves attacked, Pekovic received the ball and singled out Yi Jianlian in the low post.

Turning over and hooking the ball, he missed! When Pekovic shot, Yi Jianlian immediately went to double-team Love with Randolph to prevent Love from grabbing the offensive rebound. Pekovic wanted to shoot and grab the ball himself, but was blocked by Sun Ce who came back in the first time. Sun Ce grabbed the defensive rebound.

In terms of assisting defense, Korver is far inferior to Sun Ce, but Korver is worse than Sun Ce in switching defense. Sun Ce is very good at finding opportunities now. He easily blocked Pekovic after Yi Jianlian gave up his position. The 25% chance of the third level of the low-post king was triggered. Sun Ce blocked Pekovic and easily took the defensive rebound.

However, Sun Ce did not get a three-pointer in the next round. He was double-teamed by Wayne Ellington. Tony's close-range jump shot missed, and Pekovic took the defensive rebound.

Then Beasley scored two points with a close-range jump shot, and the Timberwolves led the Grizzlies again 37-35.

After a few rounds, Sun Ce was sure of his previous judgment. In this game tonight, it depends on which side shoots better!

At the same time, the Grizzlies are more passive, that is, Sun Ce wants to prevent Love from getting more rebounds.

The Timberwolves are in good shape tonight, their shooting is ridiculously accurate, and they are fearless. They are not afraid of losing. Losing is normal, winning is profitable, just fight.

In the 6th minute of the second quarter, Love from the Timberwolves finally grabbed the second rebound of the quarter, and also the first offensive rebound to make a tip-in, which opened the score to 51 to 46. After the Timberwolves led by 5 points, Coach Hollins called a timeout!

The first step is to replace Randolph, Nash and Tony.

Reviewing Sun Ce's play in the second quarter, it was mainly catching the ball and shooting, cutting in, and counterattack dunks... but it was mainly catching the ball. Coach Hollins replaced Ridnour with Klay Thompson, Battier, and Gasol Jr. to play offense with Sun Ce.

Sun Ce is under a lot of pressure now. He scored 11 points in the first quarter. He has made two three-pointers in the second quarter, received the ball twice, made two free throws after being fouled, dunked once, and dunked in a counterattack. He scored 12 points in half a quarter, helping the team get 17 points in half a quarter, but the Timberwolves scored 18 points with 8 of 12 in half a quarter! The score difference was also widened by one point!

Love only got 5 points and 2 rebounds in half a quarter, one three-pointer and one tip-in, and now the data has increased to 15 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists.

Although Love has the title of a data brush, his basketball IQ is not bad. He receives and passes the ball from time to time, and also pulls out of the three-point line to shoot. Although he doesn't know why the Grizzlies have to double-team him at most three people under the basket tonight, he took advantage of the Grizzlies' defensive strategy to help the team play better and better.

Sun Ce has 23 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and the team is still 5 points behind...

No matter! Sun Ce once again pulled away the four teammates who were going to play together, gave some instructions, and took them to the court before Coach Hollins could not help but kick them.

Coach Hollins was so sad. How could he train such a guy?

…

After Love came on the court, he was in high spirits. His teammates had already shot, and he was treated more like a superstar than a superstar, creating a lot of opportunities for his teammates to catch the ball and shoot. It felt so good.

The official timeout ended, and the Grizzlies attacked and chose to serve from the midline.

Sun Ce came to the sidelines to receive the referee's ball. Klay Thompson came near Sun Ce. Sun Ce passed the ball to Ridnour, who was two meters away from the top arc, and then quickly ran into the court.

The Timberwolves replaced the lineup with DJ Augustine, Wesley Johnson, Beasley, Love, and Brad Miller. Love played very easily, so he continued to play. The two guards were young players with less than four years of playing experience. Wesley Johnson immediately ran after Sun Ce who had served the ball.

But he was blocked by Klay Thompson who was pulled out!

"Off-ball running expert level 4 triggered..."

Sun Ce's burst speed quickly increased to S level. Beasley's switching awareness was poor, and he was thrown away by Sun Ce in one step. Ridnour immediately passed the ball to the right at a 45-degree angle. Sun Ce happened to receive the ball when he ran over, but DJ-Augustin also made up for it in the first time. When Sun Ce received the ball, he faced the right sideline and turned over directly, ignoring the 183-centimeter DJ-Augustin, and took the ball and turned over to shoot a three-point jump shot...

"Sharpshooter triggered, the host's three-point shot ignored the impact of running when receiving the ball this time..."

"Off-ball running expert level 4 second effect triggered, after using pick-and-roll to get a chance to catch the ball and shoot, ignore the impact of the defensive confrontation of the defensive player..."

When DJ-Augustin moved in advance and caught up and defended, Sun Ce took off and shot without being disturbed by the confrontation, and made a three-pointer!

Sun Ce's third three-pointer in this game!

Love was not affected. Sun Ce scored two three-pointers in the first half of the quarter, and scored 12 points in the first half. Didn't they still lead in the end?

When the Timberwolves attacked, Beasley, who had 20 points before the end of the half, was already excited. Seeing Sun Ce's goal, Beasley also wanted one, and he really scored it. He singled out Klay Thompson and made a mid-range jump shot.

The gap was just narrowed to two points, but it was widened to 4 points again. Sun Ce didn't think about it anymore, he just wanted to shoot!

Attack and defense switch, after Sun Ce ran to the frontcourt, he once again used Klay Thompson's off-ball pick-and-roll to come to the 45-degree angle on the right. Ridnour immediately passed the ball to him. It was Beasley who switched to defend Sun Ce. When Sun Ce received the ball, he was very close to him and had no chance to grab the ball and jump. He simply took a step forward. Beasley took a step back. Sun Ce took the initiative to approach him, then suddenly turned over, stepped back and took a three-pointer and a fadeaway jumper...

"The King of High Post (Kobe) Level 1 is triggered, the host's shooting speed is temporarily increased to A+ this time, and the shooting interference is slightly reduced..."

"The King of Turnaround Jump Shot Level 1 is triggered, the host's shooting speed is temporarily increased to S-..."

This time Beasley has done a good job defending Sun Ce. Sun Ce turned and stepped back and he followed him, but Sun Ce's S-level bounce speed, Beasley rushed over and did not interfere. Moreover, Sun Ce's temporary skill, the sharpshooter, was triggered, and the shooting action was very stable, and the fadeaway three-pointer shot was hit again!

52 to 53, Sun Ce scored two three-pointers in a row, narrowing the gap to 1 point!

The second quarter was only 7 minutes in, that is, only 1 minute after the official timeout, Sun Ce scored two three-pointers in a row, and scored 4 three-pointers in 7 minutes!
