One Thousand Two Hundred and Ninety-Seven. Splash Madness!
Klay Thompson took 8 shots in the third quarter, including 7 three-pointers, all of which went in!
The only one that didn't go in was a dunk...
There were no other scores, and even not many other statistics. Except for 1 steal and 1 foul, Klay Thompson didn't have more statistics.
But relying on 7 consecutive three-pointers in the third quarter, Klay Thompson scored 20+ in a single quarter!
In addition to Sun Ce and Randolph, Klay Thompson is the third player in the history of the Grizzlies to get 20+ in a single quarter!
Klay Thompson has refreshed his career scoring high, scoring 33 points in three quarters!
With Klay Thompson scoring 21 points in only 8 shots, the Grizzlies scored 44 to 32 in the third quarter, and led the Lakers by 12 points with 114 to 102 after three quarters!
The Lakers scored 32 points in a single quarter, which was obviously very good, but who would have thought that Klay Thompson could score 21 points in a single quarter?
If it was a normal performance, Klay Thompson made 3 of 7 three-pointers with a season average of 43% three-point shooting rate, and the Lakers actually played better in the third quarter.
However, Klay Thompson was always right! No matter how he shot, he scored, and he crushed the Lakers' excellent 32 points in the third quarter!
And Klay Thompson made 7 three-pointers, 6 of which were assisted by the same person.
Sun Ce, who only scored 3 points in the third quarter tonight, almost all the Grizzlies' scores in the third quarter were related to his passes.
In addition to giving Klay Thompson 6 assists, Sun Ce also gave 9 assists to others, 15 assists in a single quarter!
When the big screen posted the comparison of Sun Ce and Kobe's three-quarter data, Klay Thompson's terrifying seven three-pointers were inferior.
Kobe scored 16 points in the third quarter, and his score in three quarters increased to 49 points; Sun Ce, 20 points, 16 rebounds and 23 assists...
Break the NBA history single quarter assist record!
Nash and Stockton smiled bitterly at each other on the sidelines.
Nash was okay, he had several single-quarter assists of 10+, and Stockton, although he is the NBA's historical assists king, his career single-quarter highest assists number is "only" 6. He is not the type of person who always holds the ball to organize the offense, but a real traditional point guard,
like Havlicek, Jerry West, Kidd, who likes to accurately pass the ball to teammates with excellent scoring opportunities, but is also willing to give the ball to other teammates to organize the offense.
The Grizzlies' 44 points in a single quarter set a new record for the team's single-quarter score; Klay Thompson hit 7 three-pointers in a single quarter, tying Sun Ce's single-quarter three-point hit record in the team's history, which is also the NBA's single-quarter three-point hit record held by Sun Ce and Kobe; Sun Ce broke the historical single-quarter assist record...
In the third quarter of tonight's game, even Nash and Stockton, two historical-level point guards who have seen so many storms, were stunned!
It's crazy!
...
Kobe is going to explode!
The Grizzlies have another top three-point shooter. Kobe is experienced and he clearly feels that Klay Thompson's three-point shooting talent is no worse than Ray Allen!
In 2011, Jeanie Buss, the president of Lakers operations, wanted to use Odom to trade for a seventh or eighth pick to select Klay Thompson, but was rejected by Jim Buss, the son who the boss loved more. Now it's good! The Grizzlies have formed the most terrifying three-point combination!
If it weren't for Klay Thompson's 7 three-pointers, the Lakers would have an overall advantage in this quarter, because Nash was tired and Randolph was mainly responsible for grabbing offensive rebounds in the third quarter. In the case of a tense score, Kobe was not afraid that the Grizzlies would fall into a positional battle.
But Klay Thompson made so many three-pointers.
Thinking of the open and secret struggles between the two owners of his own team after the death of old Buss, Kobe was once very worried about what would happen to the end of his career.
Fortunately, Jeanie Buss successfully got Paul back by relying on her relationship with Zen Master, and overwhelmed the prodigal son. Otherwise, Kobe would have a headache thinking that his teammate was a player from the aristocratic circle who didn't forget to bungee jump when he went to treat his legs.
With a 12-point difference, Kobe felt endless pressure when he saw Paul George, Randolph and Larry Sanders on the bench.
They played so well in regular time, but they didn't create a leading advantage and were led by 12 points by the Grizzlies.
However, Kobe didn't want to give up in one quarter!
…
In the final quarter, Sun Ce and the rotation lineup of Klay Thompson, Paul George, Randolph and Larry Sanders came on the court.
On the Lakers side, Kobe and Paul's dream backcourt continued to play. Kobe scored 49 points in three quarters, which was very impressive. In fact, Paul was not bad either, with 18 points and 18 assists in three quarters. Not only was he not bad, but he was very outstanding. However, he was suppressed by Sun Ce.
Leonard, Josh Smith and Jordan Hill partnered in the frontcourt.
The Lakers continued to attack frantically in the final quarter, but the Grizzlies kept the pace.
Randolph started the singles mode at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Although he scored two points at a time, which was slightly inferior to the fierce attack of the Lakers, he was able to keep up, making it slow for the Lakers to catch up.
As the fierce momentum of the Lakers began to decline, the Grizzlies' defense began to work.
Before the official timeout in the fourth quarter, Paul George faced Kobe's defense and stepped back to hit a three-pointer. No. 24 returned an inch to No. 24!
130 to 120, although the Grizzlies trailed the Lakers 16 to 18 in the first half, they still maintained a 10-point difference!
With 5 minutes and 19 seconds left, the Lakers called a timeout and entered the official timeout.
After the timeout, the Grizzlies' lineup of Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Prince, Battier, and Gasol Jr. came on.
With this lineup, Kobe and Paul lost their temper!
5 minutes and 19 seconds, 10 points difference, Paul faced Tony Allen, Kobe faced Prince + Battier, Sun Ce + Gasol Jr. in the interior... How to play this?
There is no way to play!
At 11 minutes and 19 seconds in the fourth quarter, Josh Smith cut in and was blocked by Battier for a layup. Sun Ce got the fourth defensive rebound in a single quarter, successfully raising the data to 24 points, 20 rebounds and 27 assists. He got 4 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal in a single quarter. Chen Gong got the second 3 times 20 in his career!
With 41 seconds left, the Grizzlies lead by 12 points, 140 to 128!
Sun Ce grabbed the rebound and started to waste time, and the Lakers stopped playing.
Kobe looked at his 55 points, Paul's 24 points and 21 assists, and the two of them scored 79 points, 10 rebounds and 25 assists together, but they still lost!
Kobe couldn't describe his feelings about Sun Ce's ability to use his teammates, it was too strong!
Sun Ce's use of Klay Thompson's threats, his own threats, and the distribution of a group of top role players all made Kobe feel crazy!
