One Thousand Two Hundred and Forty-Eight. Splash Brothers VS Dream Backcourt

As soon as the timeout came back, Kobe took advantage of the pick-and-roll of Paul and Josh Smith, the off-ball pick-and-roll of Jamison and the containment of Meeks, and Kobe made a three-pointer from the outside!

79-level!

Looking back, Sun Ce received the ball in the frontcourt. Although he did not trigger the splash when Klay Thompson made the shot, he still rushed towards the bottom corner with the pick-and-roll of Paul George.

When attracting Meeks to block, Sun Ce turned around suddenly when approaching the right bottom corner and used the technique of accelerating and changing direction while moving!

Although the skill could not be triggered at this position, when he stopped suddenly, Meeks thought he was going to make a mid-range hook shot at the baseline, so he jumped up immediately, and Sun Ce smoothly accelerated and rushed to the inside.

Josh Smith blocked him... One second later...

"Ah..."

With Sun Ce's shrill scream, the referee blew the whistle in response, and Josh Smith was completely speechless. He felt that the referee was frightened by Sun Ce's scream and blew the whistle.

4 fouls!

Looking at the bench helplessly, Josh Smith saw old Bickerstaff shaking his head and making an offensive gesture, and he understood.

He didn't run to the referee to argue after the foul like in the first half of the quarter. Randolph was next to him, and Josh Smith went straight to prepare for the free throw rebound.

Sun Ce went to the free throw line and made two free throws amid the boos of most fans in the audience. The score was 81 to 79, and Sun Ce's personal score increased to 23 points. The Grizzlies led by two points again!

Booing aside, the fans at the scene were very excited about Sun Ce and Kobe's fight.

If they could defeat such a despicable Sun Ce, the Lakers fans would feel even better!

They like Sun Ce and want to hook up with Sun Ce after Kobe retires, but it doesn't prevent them from wanting to defeat Sun Ce.

Although he scored 17 points in a single quarter, Sun Ce was not relaxed next time, but under great pressure.

The dream backcourt led this lineup that is very suitable for offense, which is too fierce! Fast break is flying!

Kobe and Jamison, two veterans, made long-range shots in the counterattack. Kobe also made sharp cuts with the athletic ability that a player who is almost 35 years old should not have. Josh Smith's cuts were even more fierce. In terms of counterattacks alone, Paul directed Josh Smith, who looked like James. Mix's counterattack three-pointer was restrained, and the Lakers' offense entered a crazy mode.

When it came to positional warfare,

the offense with Paul and Josh Smith as the core was also extremely strong. Kobe, Mix and Jamison all shot very well.

However, the Lakers almost gave up defense. In the counterattack, no matter how the defense was, to ensure the offensive efficiency, the Lakers only guarded the basket on the defensive end, and tried their best to ensure that the Grizzlies had defenders standing in front of the shooters on the outside shooting.

As for Sun Ce's defense, they resolutely did not give him physical contact and did not give Sun Ce the opportunity to commit a foul.

With such fierce firepower, the Lakers played to 3 minutes and 17 seconds in the fourth quarter, relying on Kobe's counterattack to dunk Paul George's 2+1, and led the Grizzlies by 6 points again with 98 to 92!

But then, Klay Thompson hit a three-pointer with the help of Paul George's pass, and the Grizzlies chased the score to 95-98, narrowing the gap to three points again.

Finally, relying on Sun Ce's block on Meeks under the basket, the Grizzlies interrupted the Lakers' 10-point offensive climax. Randolph is now quite experienced in grabbing Sun Ce's block rebounds. He protects the rebound and passes it to Paul George to advance.

When Sun Ce arrived at the frontcourt, he received the ball and saw that the opponent had a clear defense on the bottom corner. Kobe was guarding the free throw line. Although Josh Smith did not give physical contact, he still made a move to defend the bottom line.

In view of Klay Thompson's three-pointer just now, there is a two-fifth probability that Sun will trigger the "splash momentum". Sun Ce dribbled the ball to find the feeling, first made a gesture to Klay Thompson, and then said to Kobe, who was more than one meter away: "I'm going to shoot."

Kobe didn't believe it! He saw Sun Ce making a gesture to Klay Thompson, and Klay Thompson had moved to his side!

When Sun Ce bent down to exert force, Kobe immediately moved towards the mid-range direction of the right baseline. Klay Thompson had a chance to cut to the basket after the pick-and-roll, and Josh Smith would definitely block him because he would have a chance to block Sun Ce's hook shot at the free throw line.

But at this moment, Sun Ce grabbed the ball directly, took off with the action of bending down to exert force, and shot a three-pointer from the top arc...

"Splash Power Level 2 is triggered, and the host's three-pointer shot is greatly reduced due to the take-off action..."

"Ball Pick-and-Roll Expert Level 4 is triggered, and the host chooses a three-pointer within 1 second after this pick-and-roll, and the three-pointer evaluation is temporarily increased by two small levels to SS..."

That feeling is here again! The feeling that only Curry has had, when Sun Ce threw it out, it seemed that he could "see" the picture of the ball falling into the frame.

As soon as the ball was thrown out and on the way to the ground, Sun Ce spread his hands towards Kobe, tilted his head and shrugged his shoulders.

Staring at Sun Ce, Kobe turned his head to look at the basket, and the ball did not make contact with the basket. Sun Ce's three-pointer from the top arc hit a hollow hit!

This ball gave the Lakers a critical hit! Sun Ce's outside shooting feeling was revealed!

In the past quarter after the start of the second half, Sun Ce hit two free throw line hooks, two bottom corner hook three-pointers, one close-range hook from the baseline, and a long two-pointer from the right side of the free throw line.

With this three-pointer, Sun Ce's personal score increased to 32 points!

The most important thing is that Sun Ce started to provoke as soon as he threw the ball. With such strong self-confidence, based on Sun Ce's past performance against the Lakers... This guy is definitely in the best state!

Kobe gritted his teeth and ran straight to the front court. Sun Ce immediately stuck to him: "I said I'm going to shoot, why don't you believe it?"

"Go away!"

"I won't!"

"Go away!"

"I won't!"

"..."

Sun Ce still walked away. Paul George is more suitable to defend Kobe. He is also responsible for defending Paul. If Paul George defends Paul, he will be beaten to death. It is better to let Paul George interfere with Kobe's jump shot and cooperate with Klay Thompson to switch to Jamison or Mix.

The tense offensive battle continued. The official timeout was called in the last quarter. The Lakers did not make any substitutions. Old Bickerstaff continued to use this fierce lineup.

The Grizzlies replaced Sun Ce, Nash, Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Yi Jianlian at this time to play the last moment.

Both head coaches had a great time!

After the official timeout, the Grizzlies, who were trailing by two points at 104 to 106, attacked. Sun Ce took advantage of an off-ball pick-and-roll to cut into the basket and received a pass from Nash. He slammed the ball into the basket over Meeks who was switching defense and made a 2+1, raising his personal score to 40 points, tying Kobe's score in this game, who got his eighth 40+ points of the season. Sun Ce himself has scored 11 times with 40+ points this season!
