One Thousand Two Hundred and One. Goal! Goal! Another Goal!
The Warriors saw that it was time for an official timeout, and they went all out on defense, trying to stop the Grizzlies, and then called a timeout, hoping to narrow the gap to 5 points or even less after the official timeout through tactical coordination.
Sun Ce's other positions were blocked, and the Grizzlies didn't have a good shot opportunity due to desperate double teaming, switching defense, and help defense. Paul George dribbled the ball and found that Sun Ce was open!
Right corner!
That area has only had 5 shots so far this season, and 1 of 5 shots. It is a place that Sun Ce doesn't like to go, but Sun Ce went there this time.
Paul George didn't even think about it, and immediately passed the ball to Sun Ce. Landry, who switched to Sun Ce, retreated to the baseline mid-range hook shot area, ready to block Sun Ce's breakthrough to the baseline or move to the baseline mid-range hook.
However, after Sun Ce received the ball, he did not break through the baseline, nor did he move to a higher position to shoot from the sideline, where Harden could make up at any time. Sun Ce turned around to face the baseline, put his left foot in the air, hooked his right foot, and took the ball to the right side of his body, parallel to his shoulder...
When this action came out, many fans stood up, and the Warriors had an incredible idea, and then the idea came true!
Sun Ce made a sideways hook shot from the right corner...
The ball slid through a beautiful arc, hit the inside of the left edge of the basket, and went in. Sun Ce's corner hook shot hit!
The reactions of the head coaches on both sides were completely different. Coach Hollins waved his fist and called Nice, while Mark Jackson sprayed a word starting with S, and then called a timeout to the referee with another word starting with S.
Accompanied by the manic cheers from the scene, Sun Ce made 4 of 4 three-pointers in half a quarter, raising his personal three-pointer hit count to 8!
Curry still looked at the right corner after the timeout. Sun Ce's baseline hook shot was already difficult to defend. Now he crossed the baseline and made a long two-point hook shot, which directly extended to the three-point line!
If this point is practiced accurately, how can we defend this point except preventing Sun Ce from receiving the ball here?
When this guy hooked, the ball was stretched out of bounds! The key is the long arm with a wingspan of 220 cm!
It was still a 10-point difference. Coach Hollins made the right bet by not calling a timeout this time!
…
Sun Ce relied on himself to increase the total number of three-point hits of him and Klay to 10, leading Curry and Harden 10 to 6…Curry and Harden didn't know that Sun Ce wanted to compete with them for three-pointers, so they didn't care about this, but the 10-point difference.
The key is that no one thought that Sun Ce wanted to fight for three-pointers tonight, because he was too accurate. He made 8 of 10 three-pointers. No one thought that he had a problem with shooting more. He should shoot more at this time.
After the timeout, the Grizzlies' Nash, Klay Thompson, Sun Ce, Yi Jianlian, and Lopez Jr. lineup appeared again.
On the Warriors side, Curry and Harden continued to play, and the lineup of Richard Jefferson, Landry, and David Lee came on the court.
The Warriors attacked, Curry asked Harden for the ball, Harden immediately passed it to him, and Curry wanted to play alone!
Sun Ce was tightly guarding about 70 cm in front of Curry, relying on his size advantage, enough to cover Curry's three-point space.
However, this distance also gave Curry a better opportunity to make moves. Curry relied on his excellent sense of rhythm and three-point threat, and a change of direction to the left, as Curry expected, tricked Sun Ce to move to the right, and Curry immediately pulled the ball back to the right.
Curry could see that Sun Ce's strength was too old and he couldn't make up for it, but Sun Ce caught up with Curry at a speed almost the same as Curry's change of direction!
Fortunately, Curry reacted quickly. The action of grabbing the ball turned into flicking the ball to the right front, actively sticking to Sun Ce, turning around Sun Ce and rushing into the inside line, and shooting a shot one step inside the free throw line... hit!
Curry doesn't have the confidence to play one-on-one from the mid-range, but there are really few people in the NBA who are more accurate than him in such a non-interference shot.
It should be said that in any shooting position,
without interference, Curry is one of the most accurate players in that position.
Sun Ce really didn't expect Curry to react so quickly. If Curry had shot a three-pointer just now, he would definitely have blocked it.
It's just that Curry's ball sense is too good and his reaction is too fast.
But although Curry scored a goal, he couldn't be happy.
Sun Ce restrained him too much! Moreover, he was more restrained than last season!
Curry felt that Sun Ce was as unfriendly as he could be to technical outside players!
After Curry scored, the two teams immediately started to act. Larry Sanders picked up the ball and passed it to Nash. The Grizzlies played the transition between offense and defense.
The Warriors did not let Sun Ce receive the ball at any position outside the three-point line. If Sun Ce wanted to stay outside the three-point line, he would definitely go to the shooting area where he was good at. So, when Sun Ce took the initiative to ask for the ball, Richard Jefferson chose to defend in front. Sun Ce just pretended to ask for the ball and cut into the basket. Nash then passed the ball to Sun Ce.
Sun Ce received the ball at the sideline of the three-second zone. Landry immediately double-teamed him. When Sun Ce cut in and attracted Landry's attention, Yi Jianlian had already pulled out to the left sideline to screen for Klay Thompson. When Sun Ce was double-teamed, he immediately passed the ball to the left corner. Klay Thompson took a step to the left corner and received the ball. He jumped and shot a three-pointer...
Before the timeout... Sun Ce made a three-pointer... The splash effect was triggered!
Klay Thompson made a confident three-pointer from the left corner! It was a perfect match for Sun Ce's three-pointer from the right corner before the official timeout!
11 points difference!
And this time Sun Ce was very lucky. For the first time in this game, he enjoyed the bonus effect of Klay Thompson's three-pointer. The splash bonus was triggered for Sun Ce!
Sun Ce made 4 three-pointers, Klay Thompson made 1 three-pointer, and Paul George made 1 three-pointer. The Grizzlies scored 18 points in the third quarter just from three-pointers! The Warriors only scored 16 points in the third quarter.
The Warriors could not defend the Grizzlies' previous offensive style any better.
But tonight's Grizzlies were an unconventional Grizzlies team. Sun Ce's 8 of 10 three-pointers broke the Warriors' disciplined defense!
In addition to the collapse of defense, the Warriors' mentality also collapsed!
During the transition from offense to defense, Curry pushed forward to the front court, and before Sun Ce could block him, he shot a super long three-pointer from two meters above the top arc...
Curry had already made two such shots in this game, but this time he didn't enjoy the feeling of shooting when the score was close, but he was impatient and reluctant to shoot, and missed!
This is not over yet! Yi Jianlian took the rebound and passed it to Sun Ce, who rushed to the front court, and under the defense of Curry who came back, he forced himself to jump, and hit a three-pointer without being able to fully jump!
At this moment, Curry seemed to hear the sound of his own heart breaking...
