One Thousand One Hundred and Thirty-Two. Splash Attack!

Lawson fought hard, and Sun Ce also gave it his all, just do it and it's done!

After the start of the fourth quarter, Sun Ce did not continue to play outside as the Nuggets expected, taking advantage of the three-pointers that he made 4 of 10 in the first three quarters, but broke through desperately.

The Nuggets worked hard to score and defend. Facing the defense of the Grizzlies, the Nuggets scored 12 points in half a quarter, which was a very good performance, but Sun Ce scored 7 points in half a quarter with 2 of 4 shots and 3 free throws!

In addition, Paul George cut in and received a pass from Sun Ce and made a close-range fadeaway jumper, and Klay Thompson received a three-pointer from Gasol Jr., and the Grizzlies also scored 12 points in half a quarter!

George Karl wanted to call a timeout at this time. Sun Ce used the threat of three-pointers to break through on both sides, either scoring, or causing fouls and free throws, or passing the ball, which helped the Grizzlies to keep the score close, which made George Karl feel scared.

Sun Ce helped the Grizzlies keep the score close, which was not the point. The point was that it was already the fourth quarter. Sun Ce, who played the first three quarters and scored 30 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 blocks and 3 steals, could still play like this in the fourth quarter!

This reminded George Karl of the terrifying guy who eliminated them in the playoffs for two consecutive years in 2008 and 2009.

George Karl resisted calling a timeout. The Nuggets could still score 12 points in half a quarter against the Grizzlies lineup. Lawson's 4 points and 3 assists were indispensable. Now was the time when Lawson was in good shape, and he couldn't be interrupted at this time.

But George Karl regretted it immediately. Lawson used Faried's pick-and-roll to break into the inside line. He wanted to layup and score two points excitedly, but was slapped away by Paul George who was helping to defend!

And the ball flew into Sun Ce's hands!

Sun Ce got the rebound and immediately counterattacked. Paul George and Klay Thompson quickly followed.

Sun Ce rushed to the front court and saw that two of the opponent's four defensive players were guarding the basket, one was chasing Klay Thompson, and one was blocking Paul George's cut-in. Sun Ce stopped at the top of the arc and shot a three-pointer...

Klay Thompson made a three-pointer in the last round, and Sun Ce was lucky to trigger the effect of reducing the impact of shooting with a probability of one in five. This time, the shot felt good and hit a three-pointer!

The fans at the scene held their breath when Sun Ce stopped and shot decisively. When they saw the ball go in, the fans at the scene cheered like crazy!

89 to 87, thanks to Klay Thompson and Sun Ce's two three-pointers, the Grizzlies overtook by two points!

This time George Karl had to call a timeout, and the Grizzlies scored three consecutive three-pointers, which seemed to have gained momentum!

Sun Ce and his teammates excitedly celebrated by high-fiving or bumping their chests and returned to the sidelines to rest and listen to the tactical arrangements. , he didn't care about how many points he had to get. Before Klay Thompson made a three-pointer, he had already scored 37 points, exceeding the minimum requirement of 36 points. Even after the start of the fourth quarter, he almost forgot about it and only thought about defeating the Nuggets.

One of the conditions for the "good start" event is to win the game. If you lose, you will also fail, so the first priority is to win.

And even if this game returns to the top of the league, what about scoring at least 34 points in every game? This is unlikely. Since the new century, only Kobe has done it. It will definitely decline in the future. The key is who will decline more slowly.

If you have to fail to get 36 points or win,

Sun Ce would rather choose to fail with 36 points. Winning is more important. If you lose with high points, you will be criticized by public opinion.

It was because of this idea that Sun Ce played very focused and was not affected by Lawson's explosion in the second half of the third quarter. In the first half of the fourth quarter, he seized the opportunity that should be seized. He did a good job in passing and shooting. He also relied on Klay Thompson to score a three-pointer and Paul George's block to create a three-point opportunity, and shot it. The Nuggets overtook the score when they began to explode in the second half of the third quarter!

Looking at Sun Ce on the opposite side, Lawson was very unwilling. He finally overtook the score, but the opponent took back the lead.

This feeling made Lawson extremely crazy!

However, the Grizzlies really started!

After the official timeout, the Grizzlies only replaced Gasol with Randolph for three or four minutes to let Gasol rest for the final critical moment.

Lawson was obviously impatient. The breakthrough pass was too hasty and the pass was missed.

Looking back, the Grizzlies' offense was a three-pointer tactic that Sun Ce asked David Fizdale to arrange for Klay Thompson. For Klay Thompson, who had just scored a three-pointer less than a minute ago, his teammates and coaching staff all trusted him, especially Sun Ce, because his three-pointer would trigger the splash, making it easier for the player named Klay Thompson in the team to find the best shooting feeling.

With the help of continuous pick-and-rolls, Klay Thompson received a three-pointer from Paul George and scored again!

92 to 87, the Grizzlies established a 5-point lead after the official timeout!

But unfortunately, Klay Thompson scored a three-pointer this time, and Sun Ce was unable to trigger it continuously. Sun Ce missed Curry's 100% match of the full-level splash and Klay Thompson's continuous three-pointer.

However, the two scored three three-pointers in a row, posing a huge threat to the opponent's perimeter defense, giving Paul George an excellent scoring opportunity. Paul George then scored 5 points with 2 of 3 shots and fed Randolph a bite of cake.

Although Randolph went to rest, the defense under the basket became worse. The runaway Lawson made a three-pointer and a counterattack layup, scoring 5 points alone. Gallinari also hit a single fadeaway jumper. The Nuggets scored 7 points in 3 minutes, but the Nuggets failed to narrow the gap. Instead, Paul George and Klay Thompson teamed up to open up a 3-point gap.

102 to 94, when Gasol and Tony Allen came up and formed another big and four small combination with Sun Ce, Klay Thompson and Paul George, the Grizzlies' 8-point lead made the Nuggets desperate!

There were 2 minutes and 47 seconds left, 8 points behind, facing the Grizzlies... there was no fun!

…

In the last two minutes or so, the five-man team of Lawson, Wilson Chandler, Gallinari, Faried and Brewer on the Nuggets side rushed to the basket desperately. George Karl had no choice but to arrange it this way.

However, with the perfect coordination of Tony Allen, Paul George, and Klay Thompson, Gasol's top defense under the basket, and Sun Ce's interference on the final shot, the Nuggets only made 1 of 5 shots in the last two minutes, and were blocked once by Sun Ce and Gasol!

Although the Grizzlies didn't score a single point in these two minutes, they still defeated the Nuggets 102 to 96!
