One Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty-Eight. How Come He Is Going to Get a Triple-Double Again?
Sun Ce made his second three-pointer in this game, 46 to 48, and the Grizzlies narrowed the gap to two points!
In the offense-defense transition, the Grizzlies continued to use single defense tactics against Westbrook, and the other Grizzlies still defended with all their strength, ready to assist at any time.
However, after the Thunder players tried to run again and Westbrook was ready to pass the ball again, they found that the Grizzlies were still defending alone!
This time Westbrook missed the shot and missed the layup!
Sun Ce took it back and carried Durant who wanted to rush to grab the defensive rebound!
However, Sun Ce's long two-pointer after the pick-and-roll did not hit, but it didn't matter. The Grizzlies began to strictly and effectively cut off the cooperation between Westbrook and other Thunder players.
Westbrook can dominate the scoring, and he has 3 40+ in his career so far, but it is obviously impossible for him to play like this in every game, although single defense has created a lot of convenience for Westbrook to score.
However, Paul George's defense was not given for nothing. After defending for several rounds, Paul George limited Westbrook's one-on-one single-handed hit rate to 3 out of 5 singles.
Of course, one out of two attacks is already very efficient. The Grizzlies still have to rely on Sun Ce's singles to keep the score close. Sun Ce played very hard. He was not facing a single defense, and his teammates were dragged down by Tony.
However, relying on two three-pointers in half a quarter, Sun Ce still held on!
Finally, with 29 seconds left in the first half, Tony Allen showed his strength and made a three-pointer from the sideline!
It was not easy! Before this game this season, Tony Allen had only made 4 three-pointers, 4 of 16 shots!
With this three-pointer, the Grizzlies tied the score 61 to 61!
With Westbrook scoring 12 points in the first half, Durant scoring two points with a tip-in, and Ibaka, who was on the bench, making 1 of 2 free throws and scoring 15 points in the first half, Sun Ce and Tony Allen finally tied the score with 3 three-pointers, plus Larry Sanders and Randolph desperately grabbing offensive rebounds!
It was the Thunder's turn to attack again. Sun Ce made a gesture, and his teammates received the instructions and immediately switched to defense!
Westbrook had already scored 17 points in the first half without realizing it. He also got used to breaking through and scoring without realizing it. When he broke through into the inside again, he didn't care about anything else. It was not easy to deal with Paul George's defense. This guy's defense was better than he thought!
After breaking into the inside, Westbrook turned around suddenly, crossed the reasonable collision zone and jumped with all his strength, ready to make an idol-style bottom-line turnaround dunk to end the last attack of the first half.
When Westbrook shook off Paul George and excitedly slammed the ball into the basket, he suddenly heard the cheers of the fans at the bottom line, and then... a force came from the dunked ball, and the ball flew away!
Westbrook lost his balance and fell to the ground, and his sight was the left hand with the hand bandage!
They came to double-team!
Randolph felt blessed again, grabbing a rebound blocked by Sun Ce!
Passed it to Sun Ce immediately, and Sun Ce counterattacked after the block!
Durant, Ibaka, and Sefrosa of the Thunder team reacted quickly, blocking Sun Ce and Larry Sanders who was running fast. Sun Ce rushed into the free throw line and found Paul George, passing to the right at a 45-degree angle. Paul George followed up and took the ball and shot a three-pointer...
Hit!
64 to 61! With Paul George's three-pointer, the Grizzlies overtook by 3 points!
After scoring, Paul George picked up his jersey and retreated. Westbrook failed to imitate his idol, and Paul George imitated his idol after scoring!
After a half quarter of frustration, Westbrook made 6 of 9 shots. Finally, he made this crucial three-pointer to overtake!
The sudden change in the Grizzlies' defense made the Thunder very uncomfortable. After half a quarter, they were used to rushing for rebounds and standing outside to watch when Westbrook broke through.
And the touch... Sefrosa, who had a good touch in the first half, felt cold!
In the last 13 seconds of the Thunder's offense, Westbrook ran to the front court to attract Sun Ce to shrink, and noticed it, and passed it to Sefrosa in the bottom corner. Sefrosa missed the three-pointer!
As Sun Ce grabbed his 8th rebound under Randolph's position, the first half of the game ended, and the Grizzlies overtook by 3 points and entered the halftime break!
...
Unexpectedly, the key three-pointer to tie the score was made by Teacher Tony.
If that ball didn't go in, and didn't stimulate Westbrook to make a beautiful dunk to widen the score difference, and Westbrook was given the opportunity to calmly look for the pass, the opponent might not have made the shot at that time, but it's hard to say whether he can make it in the last round.
The Grizzlies didn't have such a good chance to counterattack and let Paul George make a three-pointer.
Sun Ce felt that his idea was not wrong, although the process was not quite the same as expected. Westbrook made 6 of 9 singles and scored 12 points in half a quarter without free throws. Fortunately, they held on, with 4 three-pointers in half a quarter, Randolph and Larry Sanders scored three second-chance shots, and Sun's free throws that caused fouls in the mid-range were stable enough...
After all, they made it through and even surpassed the score!
Sun Ce returned to the locker room, thought about it, and weighed it up. The situation between the game against the Spurs and tonight was different. For the "This woman is my 3" incident, the primary reward was only an A-level lottery card, and the advanced reward, It was difficult to obtain, so Sun Ce decided to use physical potion.
Everyone worked so hard tonight, but Sun Ce chose to trust his teammates instead of stubbornly going it alone. Otherwise, why would he need so many good teammates?
Teacher Tony's three-point shooting percentage tonight is 100%, he is worthy of trust!
…
…
After returning from the timeout, Westbrook seemed to have a new look. He was as energetic and full of energy as he was at the beginning of the game. He didn't seem to be affected at all by playing hard for half a game. He was already used to it.
However, with Sun Ce's 23 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, before he knew it, Sun Ce was about to get a triple-double again!
This is not the key. The key is that he played so well. He made 7 of 12 shots in the half, scored 17 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals. His efficiency was so good. He couldn't figure out how to play so hard that the score was overtaken. ?
The Grizzlies won't give him a chance to figure it out, and they won't let him go if he does.
Sun Ce is sorry that Beverley is not on the active list tonight, but it doesn't matter. Paul George defended for half a quarter and was exhausted mentally and physically, and there is also little brother Clay! After Brother Clay, there is Brother Jimmy!
Even if these people are all guarded, it doesn't matter. He, the third in charge of the Grizzlies, can still stand up and guard against the exhausted Turtle!
