One Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy Six. Complete Victory!

However, this also made Durant calm down and start playing slowly, wanting to save the remaining energy to play at the critical moment.

That is, in regular time, Durant had no other role except for mid-range and long-range containment. In order to save energy, he even skipped running and did not take the initiative to defend Sun Ce, leaving it to Sefolosha.

Originally, Sefolosha could not defend Sun Ce. On the defensive end, Sefolosha was a poor version of Tony Allen. Of course, he was not particularly poor, but just one level weaker. The characteristics were very similar. He defended guards very well, but he could not defend taller players.

Now the league almost uses small forwards with strong athletic ability to defend Sun Ce, which can achieve good results. Sefolosha could not defend it. The current situation is that Sefolosha played for more than ten minutes in the first half and consumed some of his energy, but Sun Ce was full of energy!

Sun Ce used the pick-and-roll to make long-range jump shots, but Perkins could not defend him. Sefrosa could not get close to Sun Ce like Durant to reduce his success rate of pick-and-roll. Sun Ce scored 12 points in the second half with 4 of 6 shots.

However, Westbrook was explosive! He scored 5 points and 3 assists, created two opportunities for Perkins to eat cakes, and created a three-pointer opportunity for Ellis.

In half a quarter, the Grizzlies scored 15 to 13.

Westbrook knew Durant's characteristics very well. If Durant continued to play one-on-one at this time, Westbrook really didn't know what to do, but Durant completely gave up, Westbrook played more freely, and didn't want to disappoint Durant.

71 to 72, Sun Ce played so well in this half, but the Grizzlies still fell behind by 1 point.

But Westbrook's outburst did not continue. After the official timeout, the Grizzlies sent out Nash, Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Yi Jianlian, and Lopez Jr., and played a 16-11 wave!

Sun Ce is very effective as a pick-and-roll executor, but this time Coach Hollins did not let Sun Ce serve as a pick-and-roll executor, but played with Klay Thompson as a scorer!

Coach Hollins cannot control the progress of the game, but he has one good thing. He has long been accustomed to assigning tasks and arranging rotations according to the performance of the players. The specific way to play is decided by the players themselves, but the arrangement in this regard is very accurate!

In the second half of the third quarter, the Grizzlies deliberately let Durant, who was exhausted but still unable to rest, have a chance to shoot.

In addition to blaming himself and his own team when he encounters trouble, Durant has another characteristic, that is, he is not good at refusing.

If you change a star, when the physical exhaustion is large and unbearable,

he will choose to refuse, but Durant will not, he chooses to bear it silently.

This characteristic can be said to have a good personality, but it is often easy to suffer a big loss.

For example, now, it is obvious that the first half consumed so much energy, so you can rest for half a quarter in the third quarter and then come back, which is much better than running back and forth to open up space.

But Durant didn't have this idea at all after the half-time. He was thinking about how to slow down on the court and how to hold on to the critical moment.

Because he was used to the decision of his team's head coach and never resisted.

As a result, he only made 1 of 4 shots in the second half of the third quarter!

On the contrary, Sun Ce made 8 of 14 shots in the third quarter, 4 of 6 shots in the first half and 12 points, 4 of 8 shots in the second half and 11 points, and 23 points in a single quarter, helping the Grizzlies to score 87 to 83 at the end of the third quarter, surpassing the Thunder by 4 points!

...

During the break, Sun Ce was very excited.

The stable and powerful feeling similar to that in the playoffs last season is back!

This game was the first time that the Grizzlies sent out a complete 13-man main lineup after more than a dozen games since playing against the Heat in early March.

The progress of young teammates, the recovery of veterans and the feeling of getting better and better, the tacit understanding of teammates... All in all, Sun Ce felt that his team played the most beautiful first three quarters of the season.

It's not about how much they lead, but when the Thunder performed so well tonight, Sun Ce and his teammates adjusted, changed tactics, controlled details, grasped opportunities... and so on, and overwhelmed the Thunder at the end of the three quarters!

And Durant ran back and forth for half a quarter in the third quarter, and only made 1 of 4 shots in the second half. The Grizzlies had a clear advantage!

In other words, when both teams were in good shape, the Grizzlies were not inferior to the Thunder and had a clear advantage!

However, Sun Ce did not dare to be careless. The opponent still had Ellis and Westbrook, and even if Durant made 1 of 4 in the second half of the third quarter, he would not dare to give Durant a chance in the last quarter.

...

The intermission was over, and the fourth quarter began. Coach Hollins once again sent out Nash, Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Yi Jianlian to run!

The Thunder started to play a tight defense. The Grizzlies only scored 13 points in this half, but the Thunder only scored 9 points. Thunder coach Brooks didn't know what he was thinking. He used Durant's last energy on defense, and Durant accepted the arrangement again...

Durant is good at accepting this characteristic, which can easily hurt himself. He even played with a calf muscle strain and played for 40 minutes.

100 to 92, with more than 5 minutes left, the Grizzlies led by 8 points, with a clear advantage, and once again started the rogue war!

The lineup of Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Prince, Battier, and Gasol Jr. came on the court and played a tight defense!

At this time, Ellis couldn't play, Westbrook couldn't find a good passing opportunity, and he couldn't score. The whole team pointed at Durant again.

However, Durant, who hadn't rested for a minute, had already scored 37 points, and was no longer able to solve the dilemma. He was not the kind of player who could score 50 or 60 points in a game. He might occasionally score 50+, but it would be better to develop Westbrook's ability in this area than to let him score all the time to solve the problem.

Compared with the OK combination, Durant is obviously more suitable for O'Neal's role, as a king bomb, rather than throwing him out as four twos at the beginning.

Sometimes, the key ball is not necessarily the final buzzer-beater. The key point of this game lies in Sun Ce's two successful defenses in the last three rounds of the first quarter.

Relying on Sun Ce's successful defense in the first quarter and Sun Ce's 23 points in the third quarter by taking advantage of Durant's inability to defend, the Grizzlies gradually established an advantage and finally defeated the Thunder at home with a score of 109 to 100!

Sun Ce played the full 48 minutes, 14 of 30 shots, 5 of 11 three-pointers, plus 10 of 11 free throws, and scored 43 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 blocks, and 3 steals.

Not many blocks, not as many as Ibaka's 5 blocks tonight, but he blocked Ellis once in the first and fourth quarters, which played a crucial role!
