107. The Limit of Physical Strength

Sun Ce continued to appear in the third quarter, and the two-shooter combination of Curry and Morrow also remained on the field. Randolph and Hunter were re-dispatched inside, one can run and jump and the other has a ton.

The Suns are ready to start working hard, they want to show the third quarter of a strong team!

However, Nash and Stoudemire still did not play, and the lineup of Dragic, Richardson, Hill, Samuels, and Frye played.

After halftime, Sun Ce guessed that he might continue to play and made preparations.

The Warriors took the lead in the third quarter as Randolph lost to Stoudemire at the jumper.

Sun Ce received Curry's serve and moved towards the frontcourt. When he got to the frontcourt, he found that the defender had changed!

Dragic went to defend Curry, Richardson came to defend Sun Ce!

This... Sun Ce would like to thank Coach Gentry.

It is true that Richardson's overall defensive effect is better than the current Dragic. He can be regarded as the best defensive player on the Suns' back line after Raja Bell left.

But Richardson's lateral movement is the biggest flaw. Like the old Hill, he is good at defending against technical players, but not good at defending against speed players!

Before Sun Ce approached the three-point line, he accelerated directly to the right!

"Why so fast!" Richardson moved quickly, but was left behind!

The Suns made a defensive adjustment error! Sun Ce rushed into the inside line, and Lopez Jr. could only stand up and stretch his arms to block Sun Ce's advance.

Lopez Jr. has a good defensive awareness and did not press up to avoid fouls, but the inside line is empty!

Sun Ce passed to the middle, Randolph threw off Fletcher and went inside to receive the ball and scored two points!

When the person defending Sun Ce changed from Dragic to Richardson, people discovered how fast Sun Ce is!

Dragic can still rely on his A+ speed and good explosive speed to keep up with Sun Ce, who lacks explosive power, but Richardson's speed is indeed too poor, especially the sideways movement of the spicy eyes.

But...you have to try everything.

The general manager of the team got his head green and sent Raja Bell and Diaw away, and also sent away the inside line with a good defense, and refused to renew Matt Barnes in the summer. Chadson, the best forward defense is the veteran Hill who has played for more than ten years, the best inside defense is a rough second-year big center, Gentry is also very helpless!

And the Suns' defense has been mediocre for many years, and the fans are used to it.

Sun Ce found that the Suns defense was more targeted at him. The more he played, the better he felt, and the control over his teammates on the field became better and better. Compared with the second quarter, he began to use more of the targeted defense he encountered. Pass the ball and try to help teammates score.

On the Suns side, Richardson and Hill came up, and Dragic was liberated! Attack the basket with all your strength, and if you don't have a chance, give it to Richardson or Hill, and the two will organize the offense.

The "brothers" with completely different styles started a duel again.

To be honest, Sun Ce's scoring plus assists are similar to Dragic's personal offense. At the end of the three quarters, Dragic had already scored 26 points and had 3 assists.

On Sun Ce's side, when the Suns called a timeout in the ninth minute of the third quarter, he scored 11 points and 8 assists.

And... Sun Ce still has 9 rebounds!

Sun Ce grabbed two more rebounds in the third quarter!

With 11 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists, Sun Ce has a triple-double in three quarters!

Although it's only a preseason game, it's still amazing. Apart from Sun Ce, the only rookie player in this year's preseason game who can measure more than 8 in three quarters is Tyreke Evans! When he played the Lakers, he scored a triple-double of 25 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists in three quarters.

Helping the Kings lead the Lakers by 21 points in three quarters, he is the only rookie player to get a triple-double in the preseason, almost seducing Uncle Snake to waste time.

The Warriors were able to maintain a lead of more than 5 points with 73 to 67 in the three quarters, thanks to Sun Ce's contribution!

However... Sun Ce was also exhausted. He played nine minutes in the third quarter and encountered the opponent's defensive battle... Although the opponent's defense is indeed poor, the main reason is that there are no players who can defend against speed guards. Coach Gentry can't help this. Last year, there was Matt Barnes, who was excellent in single defense. This year, there is indeed no one. Sun Ce played very well in the third quarter, scoring 3 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists.

However, the opponent's wheel-to-wheel defense made Sun Ce maintain a high speed for a long time in order to avoid being stuck on the outside line, which also consumed a lot of energy.

Sun Ce sat on the bench and felt his legs were a little floating when he walked back to the bench.

This is much more tiring than training! Strength training is not so tiring!

Compared with the long-term defensive play against the Lakers, the role players of the Suns are very serious today, and Sun Ce also played harder.

But the hard work paid off, and I got a triple-double!

It is a pity that he is only one rebound and two assists short of a triple-double, but Sun Ce understands his current situation. The coach replaced him, and he did not complain. It is indeed going to the limit. Difficult to play the previous speed.

It's okay not to pause, the key is to pause.

And...the opponent replaced the main lineup with 3 minutes left in the third quarter!

The lineup of Nash, Barbosa, Hill, Stoudemire, and Frye is on the field!

The opponent called a timeout at this time, and Old Nelson knew exactly what the opponent was going to do.

Old Nelson replaced the strongest lineup of Curry, Ellis, Stephen Jackson, Randolph, and Tolliver.

The opponent wants to let the main players play key shots when the score is tight, and Nelson also wants to use this opportunity to train the main lineup, especially Curry.

If it comes to the regular season, it will not be easy for the Warriors to play against their opponents at critical moments. They are one of the weakest teams in the league.

...

Relatively speaking, the Warriors have an advantage here!

Curry and Randolph have played for a long time, there is no way, the weak team can only let the main players play more in the preseason, and the two are in good condition.

Stephen Jackson is the pitcher, and Tolliver is the coolie inside.

Ellis... is a microwave player who can contribute as long as he is on the court!

After three quarters, the Warriors' significantly weaker main lineup had the upper hand, 85 to 74, and the Warriors entered the fourth quarter with an 11-point lead.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the two teams did not make any substitutions, and continued to play with the main lineup. However, Nash and Stoudemire gradually found their sense at this time, and quickly played a wave of counterattacks, scoring 9 points in a row.

Fortunately, Curry was good enough today. He received a point from Ellis and scored two three-pointers in a row. In addition, Ellis' breakthrough layup scored 2+1. The two teams played more than two minutes before the fourth quarter. A wave of 9 to 9 tie!

Just when the fierce battle between the two teams was in full swing, something unexpected happened...

Stephen Jackson and Hill shove!
