Nine Hundred and Eighty-Nine. First Battle Victory

Randolph scored 19 points and 4 rebounds in the first quarter, setting a new personal playoff scoring high in a single quarter!

Sun Ce played the entire first quarter and got 3 open shooting opportunities, hitting a baseline shooter and a long two-point jumper on the right side of the free throw line, as well as a counterattack to the basket from Paul George's second pass, which caused Duran to recover. He made two free throws for a special foul and scored 6 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block in a single quarter. Gasol played the entire first quarter and scored 2 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists and 2 blocks.

Under the leadership of Randolph, the Grizzlies scored 31 points in the first quarter!

The Thunder, on the other hand, only scored 19 points in the first quarter. If it weren't for Sefolosha's two open three-pointers and Fisher, who replaced Westbrook, he broke through to the basket twice in a row. After scoring 5 points, Teacher Tony only made 1 of 3 shots, and the point difference could be even greater.

After the first quarter, the Grizzlies led the Thunder by 12 points, 31-19.

After the game started, the Grizzlies had a clear advantage, and there is a clear difference in the current competitive state of the two teams.

This is related to the current awareness of the game between the two teams. The Thunder won the first round very easily, and they won with a strong offense. In addition, the Thunder coach Brooks always emphasized the need to play a good offense when preparing for the game, in order to deal with the Grizzlies. Defense, so the Thunder wanted to attack from the beginning. As a result, Westbrook and Durant were restricted by Tony, Paul George, Gasol and Sunce. Ibacana Sun Ce was assisting in defense on the outside line, and Gasol was watching on the inside line.

The main reason is that after the first round, the Thunder players all played with confidence, because it was too easy to win, and losing a game was just careless.

Also, it's not just the media that praises them. After the first round, they themselves felt that their season was completely different from last season. This season they really have the ability to win the championship, even though they are still young and the core players Durant, the oldest among them, is less than 24 years old, which makes them full of expectations for the future, and because they feel that they and others will become stronger in the future, they feel that they are already strong now.

Confident, Westbrook and Durant were very anxious to perform well against the Grizzlies. However, the two played very poorly in the first quarter. Teacher Tony and the Mavericks played a round. Paul George, whose defense became better after the series, with the help of Sun Ce and Gasol, Westbrook and Du Shao wilted.

As for the Grizzlies, they have been facing the Mavericks' high-intensity defense throughout the first round. In terms of defense alone, there is a gap between the Thunder and the Mavericks with Conley, DeShawn Stevenson, Marion, Yao Ming, and Chandler. Moreover, the Thunder attaches too much importance to offense, resulting in insufficient preparation on the defensive end. The defensive levels of the two teams are not at the same level.

This is not the fault of the players, the players can do better. Although the Thunder's defense in the playoffs is not as good as the Mavericks,

There are some who are close to the top level, but today they are not even at the top level.

Especially in the first round, Durant and Randolph experienced completely different experiences. Durant averaged 36 points per game in 5 games in the first round, and only averaged 35 minutes per game, which was extremely efficient. Gallinari's defense was okay, but At a good level, Durant beat him as if it was for fun, but now he has to face Mr. Tony's solo defense on the outside, meet Gasol when cutting in, and occasionally have to be defended by Sun Ce...

Randolph played badly in the first round, averaging 14.3 points per game in 6 games. Most of his points were obtained by fighting for offensive rebounds. When encountering the Thunder's inside line, Randolph fought hard to win. Prove yourself that Perkins is not very effective when assisting in defense. Ibaka's assist defense may be the best in the league at present, but his single defense is only at a good level, especially when he cannot guard against a type like Randolph, who is very mobile. Generally speaking, good means that the tonnage and stance defense are not good; Perkins can withstand but is slow, and occasionally Randolph can get offensive rebounds in one vs two.

The Grizzlies' starting lineup played the entire quarter in the first quarter. Sun Ce was replaced at the beginning of the second quarter, leaving only Paul George and Randolph as starters, Nash, Klay Thompson, and Yi Jianlian. was replaced.

Sun Ce returned to the bench to rest. He played too easily in the first quarter. He took 4 shots in total, 3 of which were successful. He made two shots and didn't pass many passes. He just gave Durant a big block. It was so cool. .

However, it wasn't just Dewey who played badly for the Thunder. These two were targeted today. In addition, their own head coach was of average quality and had wrong tactics and strategies. It was expected that they would be restricted.

There is also Harden. He came on as a substitute after the official timeout. His performance was not as good as Sefrosa. Facing Sun Ce's defense, Harden did not use his body as strong as Wade to break through. Instead, he floated on the outside and played retreat. step.

Sun Ce is not afraid anymore, he is so disturbed. When the Thunder made two three-pointers in the first half of the first quarter, the offense was actually not that bad. At least the point difference was still within ten points. The Grizzlies Here, Harden missed all three of his shots. From the 6th and a half minutes of the first quarter to the 10:02 minute when the Thunder called a timeout, the point difference was widened to 16 points in more than three minutes, forcing the opponent to The guard combination of Fisher + Sefolosha was replaced. Thanks to the good performance of these two people, they helped the Thunder narrow the point difference.

However, Fisher surprised Sun Ce and performed better than Westbrook. Not only in this game, Sun Ce noticed when preparing for the game. Fisher averaged 2.2 shots per game against the Nuggets in the first round. Three-pointers, the three-point shooting percentage is 50%, which is 11 of 22 three-pointers.

So just now he ran to defend Fisher's outside shot, but Fisher seized the opportunity to break into the inside and scored two goals, one of which was 2+1, narrowing the gap to within 15 points.

Originally, the Grizzlies led by 16 points. The Thunder only scored 11 points in the first 10 minutes. Fisher, who played in the last two minutes of the first quarter, scored 5 points in a row and played an 8-4 wave in the last two minutes to narrow the gap to 12 points.

Now Nash, Randolph and Yi Jianlian led two shooters to play run-and-gun, and Sun Ce was happy to rest on the sidelines.

Back to the court, after the Grizzlies entered the run-and-gun stage, the focus of defense was only one. Klay Thompson and Paul George took turns to give Durant physical contact. It didn't matter whether the others could defend or not. Westbrook led Harden to play run-and-gun. Harden caused 2 fouls in half a quarter and made 4 of 4 free throws. He also made a three-pointer. He scored 7 points in half a quarter with 1 shot and 1 shot.

Seeing the change in Harden's playing style, Sun Ce sighed. This guy is still on this path.

When watching the Thunder's first-round series report before, Sun Ce noticed that although Harden averaged 16 points per game in the first round, his hit rate was only 35%. He relied purely on 8 free throws with an average of 8.2 free throws per game to support the scene. In terms of shooting, he only averaged 3.8 out of 10.6 shots per game, and only 1 out of 4 three-pointers.

I thought it was because Harden was not used to running in the first round. Now it seems that there is really something wrong. It is far from the best sixth man level offense with an average of 18 points per game in the regular season. It does not reflect his A-level first-class strength... or in other words, he has changed the way to show his A-level strength.

The Grizzlies didn't care too much. They mainly consumed Durant. They didn't care about other people. The Grizzlies' offense could continue. When Harden played well, Yi Jianlian took advantage of Randolph's counterattack threat and Nash's pass to get 7 points. He dunked twice and hit a three-pointer from the sideline to fight back against Harden.

Durant wanted to perform, but he was targeted too badly. In the first quarter, he encountered Tony's hard fight. In the second quarter, he was defended by Klay and Paul George. He only got two points from free throws in half a quarter!

The main reason was that Thunder coach Brooks did a poor job of preparing before the game. He failed to predict the situation clearly. He panicked in the game. In addition to sending the best players, he made almost no offensive adjustments, and his defense was not good.

Durant didn't know what the management and coaching staff of this team were thinking. The team obviously had a good defensive lineup, and the regular season defense was also top-notch, but they didn't seem to pay much attention to defense. The lineup was obviously deep, but the coaching staff just liked to use the most talented players to death. That's fine, the key is that they can't even tell which players have good talents...

When the official timeout came in the second quarter, the Grizzlies were already 15 points ahead of the Thunder, 49 to 34!

After Nash hit a three-pointer in a positional battle around the pick-and-roll to widen the gap to 15 points again, the Thunder called a timeout and entered the official timeout.

Led by Nash's 5 points and 4 assists in the first half, the Grizzlies played a wave of 18 to 15!

The score difference has widened to 15 points, which is a happy event, but the bigger happy event for the Grizzlies is that Durant and Ibaka have played for 18 minutes in a row!

Since they are running so happily, of course they have to keep running. After the official timeout, Sun Ce was called and was replaced with Nash, Klay Thompson, Yi Jianlian, and Jordan...

...

Who would have thought that after the second round started, the Grizzlies ushered in a hearty victory!

In the first game, Sun Ce played for 31 minutes, 18 minutes in the first half, and 13 minutes in the second half. He made 8 of 14 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 6 of 7 free throws, scoring 23 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 blocks, and 2 steals.

It was really easy to win. Sun Ce played for 8 minutes in the third quarter and was replaced after 5 minutes in the fourth quarter. The last 7 minutes became garbage time.

Nash played for 21 minutes, scored 8 points and 8 assists, Yi Jianlian scored 20 points and 6 rebounds, and Jordan also scored 14 points. With the performance of other shooters, the Grizzlies dominated the whole game.

On the Thunder side, Durant scored only 25 points with 9 of 26 shots, Westbrook scored 13 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists, Harden scored 17 points, Fisher and Sefolosha scored the highest points except for the three young players, both of whom scored 8 points. Ibaka, Daequan Cook and others performed very badly, and the role players in other offenses played poorly.

Led by Randolph who scored 37 points and 10 rebounds, the Grizzlies easily defeated the Thunder 117-99 and won the first victory in the series!
