1,296. Single Quarter Assist Record

Maybe it’s the belief that Klay Thompson can’t score the dunk, but this is also a kind of trust, isn’t it...

Taking advantage of Sun Ce going to the free throw line, coach Hollins replaced Shane Battier and Gasol, and added Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, and Jimmy Butler to the lineup.

Paul George went to rest first. There was still a little more than one quarter, and Paul George needed to conserve his energy for critical moments.

As Sun Ce made the extra free throw, the Grizzlies led 105 to 95 by 10 points and began to enter positional battle offensive and defensive mode!

here we go again!

Watching the Grizzlies' substitutions, Kobe had 10,000 alpacas running through his heart.

The Grizzlies team cannot let them have a clear lead. Once the lead reaches 10 points, the Grizzlies will immediately enter defensive mode when the ball is dead.

And now it is different from the last game before the All-Star weekend. Half a season has passed, and the Grizzlies are in better shape. There is also Randolph on the bench who played 20 minutes and scored 18 points tonight! This guy has also reached his best form of the season!

The game continues and the Lakers attack.

As soon as Gasol came up, and it was a lineup with one big and four small, the Lakers clearly felt the Grizzlies' defensive improvement.

Gasol guarded the short range and the basket, Sun Ce guarded Leonard and switched to mid-range defense, Klay Thompson guarded Kobe, Jimmy Butler guarded Paul, and Battier followed Josh Smith.

Ci Shiping and Leonard have a good chance, but at this moment, Ci Shiping can still trust him. Leonard may be too nervous today. Except for the three-pointer in the third quarter, he didn't make any other shots. .

At this time, we have to look at Paul. Although the threat of Leonard's COSCO shot tonight has dropped sharply, if he can catch the ball, he can still be a little bit of a threat. Paul made a late fake pass and unexpectedly made an alley catch!

With Klay Thompson following closely, Kobe took off smoothly with explosive power, slid down the baseline, and scored two points with an alley-oop dunk.

8 points difference!

With one quarter and two minutes left, the Lakers have every chance to catch up.

But for the Grizzlies, Jimmy Butler has been playing for a season now, and he is already quite threatening in mid-range shooting and cutting. In addition to his unreliable strong breakthroughs on offense, his two strong points are mid-range shooting and cutting. He is already a threat. A very high-quality 2D player, coupled with Klay Thompson, who is an infinite threat tonight, and Battier, whose three-point shooting rate from the corner is as high as 40%.

There are also Sun Ce and Gasol to organize the offense. Compared with last year when Randolph was not on the court, the Grizzlies offense is much better.

Klay Thompson was being stared at by Leonard. The Lakers didn't replace Leonard because he was no worse than Klay Thompson in defending off the ball.

Sun Ce was also looked at very seriously. Sun Ce passed the ball to Gasol who was pulled up to the high post. Gasol held the ball and turned to face the basket to provide support. Sun Ce used Jimmy Butler to make a pick-and-roll cut without the ball. Gasol made a perfect pass to Sun Ce. Ci Shiping and Kobe immediately attacked Sun Ce. Sun Ce passed back to Gasol who was one step outside the free throw line. Gasol made a mid-range shot!

Playing slowly, this attack took a full 15 seconds, but it went in!

The Lakers wanted to speed up. During the transition between offense and defense, Paul quickly passed the ball to Kobe. Kobe received the ball and failed to get rid of the pursuing Sun Ce. He chose to step back and hit a long-distance three-pointer with a big step across the three-point line. Take action...and go in!

However, the Grizzlies were engaged in a positional battle. Sun Ce sent the ball to Jimmy Butler. Jimmy Butler slowly advanced and pressed for time. When he reached the frontcourt, he handed it to Gasol who was in the high post.

This time, after Sun Ce received Gasol's supporting pass, Ci Shiping did not dare to take it back. Josh Smith did not switch defenses and Jimmy Butler, who was in the pick-and-roll with Sun Ce, teamed up with Kobe to attack Sun Ce. Sun Ce hung the right side of the basket. From the side, Jimmy Butler cut in for an alley-oop dunk, returning Kobe's previous split!

Immediately afterwards, Kobe's third consecutive shot after Sun Ce's free throw... missed! The pace of getting 50+ has been postponed.

Then Battier succeeded in a layup after receiving a pass from Sun Ce. Veteran Ci Shiping also seized the opportunity and hit a mid-range shot from the free throw line.

After Ci Shiping made the shot, Sun Ce did not give the ball to Jimmy Butler. He received Klay Thompson's serve and advanced towards the frontcourt. With 23 seconds left in the third quarter, the score was 111 to 102. The Grizzlies The team still leads by 9 points.

Sun Ce wanted to press time for the final attack of the third quarter and ensure a goal. If he could enter the final quarter with a lead of more than 10 points, he would have a greater chance of winning.

Basketball scores have a characteristic. A score difference of 4 points and 5 points will give people a very different feeling, and a score difference of 9 points and 10 points will give people a bigger difference!

How about... a wave?

Sun Ce came to the opponent's three-point line to face Josh Smith's defense. He suddenly had such an idea and wanted to do it!

Sun Ce waited until there were 8 seconds left in the attack time and began to dribble backwards continuously. This action was the same as when Kobe Bryant played the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference finals more than 10 years ago!

Sun Ce was still retreating at the top of the arc. Theoretically, the opponent should not be able to defend him. However, he did not expect that not only Josh Smith would follow him, but he would also follow Klay Thompson to the left of the free throw line. Leonard on the side jumped out!

Leonard, whose idol is Allen Iverson, knows Kobe too well. As a native of Los Angeles, Leonard is very aware of some of Kobe's iconic goals. When Sun Ce's inexplicable top arc was still retreating, Leonard Immediately attack Sun Ce.

Sun Ce was so annoyed, he quickly found someone to pass the ball to. After Klay Thompson was left open, Kobe rushed over immediately. Josh Smith and Metta World Peace guarded the basket, betting that Gasol and Jimmy Butler would miss the mid-range and long-range shots, and wanted to control the score difference within 10 points, otherwise the Lakers would be too passive in the fourth quarter.

At this time, should he pass the ball to Gasol and Jimmy Butler who had a chance, or wait for Klay Thompson to run?

Seeing that there were only 3 seconds left in the offensive time, Sun Ce didn't think much. Seeing Klay Thompson rushing to the 45-degree angle on the left, Sun Ce passed it directly.

Klay Thompson received the ball and failed to get rid of Kobe's pursuit, but there was no time. Klay Thompson turned 180 degrees and faced Kobe, who was still very good at defense, with a three-pointer from behind...

When the ball left Leonard's hand and reached the highest point, the long whistle at the end of the third quarter had already sounded.

Then, crazy cheers broke out at the scene!

Klay Thompson hit a buzzer beater three-pointer and scored 21 points in a single quarter!

At the same time, Sun Ce got his 23rd assist in this game, which is... his 15th assist in a single quarter!
