One Thousand Two Hundred and Forty-Nine. Double Happiness

The Grizzlies also overtook by 1 point with 107 to 106!

Sun Ce only scored 6 points in the first half, and was 12 points behind Kobe at halftime, but he caught up!

But... 9 of 18 shots, and only 4 three-pointers, that is, 18 points were scored from free throws! Among them, 17 points were scored from free throws in the second half of one and a half quarters...

It was the Lakers' turn to attack again. Facing the top arc pick-and-roll between Paul and Josh Smith, after Yi Jianlian switched to Paul, Sun Ce wanted to stick to Josh Smith and not give the opponent a chance to attack the basket, but suddenly Sun Ce remembered something and immediately retreated to the basket.

Paul passed the ball to Josh Smith in the mid-range, hoping that Josh Smith would rush into the basket and dunk without being blocked, even Sun Ce could not stop it.

However, Josh Smith chose to catch the ball on the left side of the three-second zone and make a mid-range jump shot!

No one can figure out what Josh Smith is thinking. He has a 23% free throw rate this season, but he dares to shoot at this critical moment. He is so decisive!

Sun Ce sticks his butt out, pushes Kobe away and grabs the defensive rebound.

Pass it to Nash and counterattack!

The Lakers retreated quickly, not giving the Grizzlies a chance to counterattack. Yi Jianlian made a contribution this time. Nash passed the ball to Yi Jianlian, who avoided Josh Smith and made a layup against Jamison. At the same time, he caused Jamison to foul. Jamison left the court with 6 fouls!

Josh Smith's defense was good, and the probability of fouling was much lower, but Jamison played for more than one quarter in the second half and was fouled 4 times by Sun Ce. In addition to the 1 foul in the first half and the foul caused by Yi Jianlian this time, he was fouled with 6 fouls!

However, the Lakers had plenty of players to use. JR Smith replaced Meeks, who had missed two three-pointers in the last two games and gave the Grizzlies a chance to overtake. Jordan Hill replaced Jamison, who had 6 fouls.

The offensive firepower remained unabated, and there was also the rumored unlucky version of Kobe, wearing a jersey with two 8s - JR Smith, the nervous knife.

Yi Jianlian missed the free throw, and the Grizzlies led the Lakers by 3 points, 109 to 106, which was not a stable score.

Paul received the free throw rebound from Jordan Hill and pushed forward. He thought of his 16 points and 14 assists, Kobe's 40 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists. The two of them had played such an outstanding performance, but they were still behind!

This situation is simply amazing!

Seeing that the opponent replaced the nervous knife JR Smith,

and the mid-range shooter Josh Smith, who would make a mistake and run to shoot in a position he is not good at, Sun Ce instructed Yi Jianlian, the double 3D, and Mr. Na to block the basket, block Kobe and Paul's shots, and leave the two Smiths open before Yi Jianlian's free throw.

The opponent used JR Smith, who had a poor touch in the first half and did not get much playing time, to bet on JR Smith's big heart, and the Grizzlies were also betting!

In this case, there is no other way!

Just as Sun Ce thought, old Bickerstaff was betting, or to say, adjusting the outside shooter at the critical moment, for any coach, it is gambling, but old Bickerstaff bet harder than others, not sending the tough guy Steve Blake, but sending JR Smith, which can be regarded as a big gamble.

Gambling, there are always wins and losses. Tonight is Sun Ce's lucky day and old Bickerstaff's unlucky night. JR Smith received Kobe's pass and the three-pointer went out of bounds!

Wearing the Lakers' No. 8 jersey, if you don't have a hollow shot outside the basket at the critical moment, you feel sorry for this jersey. If it is No. 88, you will be twice as happy!

JR Smith was willing to take responsibility at the critical moment, but after two consecutive misses that made the Lakers desperate, the Grizzlies, under Nash's organization of offense, scored in two positional battles. Yi Jianlian made a dunk, and Klay Thompson received Sun Ce's pass and passed the ball to Paul George at the free throw line for a jump shot.

113 to 106, the Grizzlies led by 7 points!

With 2 minutes and 47 seconds left, the Lakers called the last short timeout of regular time!

In the first half, the Grizzlies called a timeout but there was no timeout available. In the second half, it became the Lakers who had no timeout available. With nearly 3 minutes, the Lakers did not have no chance. They led by more than 5 points twice in the fourth quarter. They had the strength to play a climax.

However, the two Smiths failed in three consecutive rounds, which was a huge blow to the Lakers!

Old Bickerstaff thought that if he lost, he would be scolded again after the game, and he felt helpless - these people did not understand the romance of basketball at all.

Should Blake play steady and take the lead to deal with the opponent's one big and four small lineup that was so brutal after the Splash Brothers shot that it was unacceptable?

But now there is no other way except to play steady. The two 8 players can't be relied on, and we can only rely on 3 times 8 players to exert their strength.

...

After the timeout, the Lakers sent out a combination of Paul, Blake, Kobe, Josh Smith, and Jordan Hill.

Kobe likes to accept challenges and likes the feeling of chasing points and winning at the critical moment.

However, seeing that the opponent replaced Tony Allen, Prince, Battier, and Gasol...

"Can you not do this? Leading by 7 points and starting to act like a hooligan?"

Kobe almost vomited blood, and the opponent replaced three outside players to target him!

Tony Allen is used for three-point blocking + melee consumption, Prince is used for mid-range defense, Battier is used for inside defense, and there are also Sun Ce and Gasol!

At this time, Kobe saw Sun Ce, who was guarding the top arc, winking at him. Kobe decided - next time this bastard goes to his house for training, he must wear training clothes for an hour to freeze him to death!

...

The Grizzlies' defense suddenly improved, and it was against Kobe. The Lakers didn't have time to try it, and the strategy of focusing on Kobe failed. Moreover, Jordan Hill's cut-in dunk was blown away by Sun Ce!

There were 11 seconds left in the offensive time. Paul's single-handed attack on Sun Ce failed. Battier took the defensive rebound and protected it, and handed it to Sun Ce.

He had to score quickly. Sun Ce saw that his 40 points had been stagnant for several minutes. There were more than 2 minutes left. He had to hurry up. They were targeting Kobe, and the opponent was also targeting him to prevent him from scoring.

After arriving at the frontcourt, Sun Ce faced Josh Smith on the outside and asked Tony Allen to pick and roll. Kobe and Josh Smith directly double-teamed.

Josh Smith raised his hands, only responsible for interfering with the shot, Kobe Bryant put his hands behind his back to prevent Sun Ce from breaking through, only contacting him without pressing him.

However, Sun Ce took the initiative to seek double teaming, got between Kobe Bryant and Josh Smith, and broke through the middle!

This won’t work! Only Jordan Hill was guarding the basket, and Sun Ce rushed in head-on, Jordan Hill couldn’t stop him. Kobe and Josh Smith both had good defensive awareness, and at this moment they followed the conventional defense and attacked Sun Ce, and then -

"Ah..."

"Beep..."
