One Thousand Three Hundred and Forty-Seven. One Goal at the Start!
**Vic was ready to call a timeout, but when he saw Sun Ce make a three-pointer with no rhythm, a hasty shot, and all the previous five three-pointers were missed, the score difference was reduced to 4 points, and he yelled at the referee to call a timeout.
54 to 50, the lead is gone!
This time it was **Vic's turn to explode. After holding on for 9 minutes, Gay scored 8 points, Ginobili scored 9 points, and Kwame Brown scored 4 points from free throws. The Spurs only scored 21 points in 9 minutes in the second quarter, maintaining the 9-point lead created in the first quarter, but Sun Ce made a three-pointer, and the opponent must have a momentum!
They are going to replace players with good physical strength and better touch, but the opponent must also replace Nash and others at this time. When Sun Ce just made a three-pointer, the opponent's offensive lineup came up...**Vic felt his scalp tingling!
On the other side, just as **Vic thought, the Grizzlies coaching staff and players were extremely excited.
The Grizzlies finally scored the second three-pointer of the game!
With 13 of 24 shots, including 1 of 6 three-pointers, plus 5 of 7 free throws, Sun Ce's personal score increased to 32 points!
From 6 of 8 shots at the start, to 10 of 17 shots in the first half of the second quarter, to 13 of 24 shots... Sun Ce's efficiency is rapidly declining.
However, after the crazy three-pointer, Sun Ce made a key three-pointer before the opponent was about to replace Duncan, narrowing the gap to 4 points!
This is a huge morale boost for Nash, Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Yi Jianlian who are ready to play.
If Sun Ce can make a three-pointer, the containment will definitely be further improved!
However, Sun Ce returned to the bench, but he was very hesitant. Should he take a physical potion now? He clearly felt his physical strength decline. Fortunately, the ball just now relied on the "error" to reduce Ginobili's interference effect, which in turn improved his temporary confrontation ability. If there was no bonus, under the full confrontation of a player of about 184 cm, he, who is 192 cm, might not be able to shoot three shots.
But now he uses physical potions. If he decides to use the star experience card during the halftime break... it would be a pure waste.
However, in this situation, he may not be able to maintain his efficiency until the end of the first half. He was too tired. He shot 24 times and scored 32 points. At the same time, he also had 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals... It was really tiring!
Up to now,
Sun Ce has roughly understood Coach Hollins's thoughts. The coaching staff did not say it, but Sun Ce estimated that the coaching staff wanted the continuity of the entire series, and even prepared to lose the first two away games.
There is nothing wrong with this. The reason why the home advantage in the playoffs is precious is that it is difficult for a strong team to be defeated at home due to the atmosphere of the home court, the referee's need to take care of the emotions of the home fans, and other factors. The Lakers and the Heat are exceptions this year. The Celtics, who have a lot of high-quality role players in exchange for Rondo and Ray Allen, and the Mavericks, who are already the favorites for the championship, can grab a victory on the road. It is normal.
The Bulls and Thunder have firmly defended their home courts. Even in the game between the Pacers and the Nets, who are evenly matched, the Pacers have defended every home court. The Spurs have also defended all three home courts in the face of Curry + Harden, who have exploded so fiercely.
The coaching staff wants to fight for the decisive battle, so they play a consumption strategy, which has already worked...
"But wouldn't it be better if we won? A physical potion + a star experience card for home advantage..."
This deal is not a loss!
Sun Ce immediately took a physical potion and started drinking Gatorade.
Feeling the feeling of his chest exploding quickly subside, and the accompanying hunger, Sun Ce asked Claude, who was bound to sit on the bench for the entire playoffs, to buy a hamburger to eat during the halftime break.
Thinking of the three-pointer he had just made, and thinking of having new energy to exert his full strength, Sun Ce also ignited!
…
After the timeout, with 3 minutes and 8 seconds left in the first half, the Grizzlies replaced Nash, Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Yi Jianlian with a big and small lineup.
On the Spurs side, **Vic made adjustments and did not replace the twin towers. He guessed that the opponent would definitely be more aggressive than he expected at the beginning, and perhaps even a twin tower combination like Randolph and Larry Sanders would not be replaced.
The five-man team of George Hill, Patrick Mills, Danny Green, Dio, and Duncan came on the court. When **Vic saw the opponent's big and small lineup, he took a deep breath.
It was a close call!
Huo Tu was too bold! He kept changing 4 in and 4 out in the playoffs.
However, **Vic had no idea at all. He originally planned to play 5 up and 5 down...
The Spurs attack.
When Duncan came on, Dio immediately became active, as if he had changed into a different person. Taking advantage of Duncan's threat, he passed the ball to George Hill who cut in. George Hill got rid of Sun Ce with the help of Duncan's pick-and-roll, cut into the basket and faced Yi Jianlian's defense and low layup to score two points.
Whether it was offense or defense, the Spurs were completely different after Duncan came on.
The Spurs system with Duncan is the real Spurs system!
In the transition between offense and defense, Yi Jianlian immediately picked up the ball and passed it to Nash after George Hill scored, and the whole army attacked!
After a 9-minute break, which is nearly 20 minutes, the other four players in the run-and-gun lineup were in very good condition, and Sun Ce, who had recovered his strength!
Sun Ce rushed out like an arrow, and Paul George rushed to the sideline from the wing. The two attracted most of the opponent's defensive attention. Yi Jianlian followed behind Nash, ready to pick and roll or cut in to eat the cake.
Nash did not pass the ball quickly, but waited outside the three-point line, and took advantage of Yi Jianlian's pick and roll to break into the mid-range. Yi Jianlian took advantage of the threat of Nash's pick and roll and the containment of Sun Ce and Klay Thompson to cut in, but Duncan was very afraid of Yi Jianlian's cut in, so he took it back. Nash did not pass the ball to Yi Jianlian, who had already cut in and could create good opportunities to attack the basket with his athletic ability even when facing Duncan's shrinkage, but passed it to Klay Thompson who followed up to the left back to the left of the top arc!
This time, Nash's first goal was not to pass the ball to the other three people, but to pass the ball to Klay Thompson, because Sun Ce had just made a three-pointer!
Although Sun Ce did not trigger the "Splash Momentum", his teammates were different. Klay Thompson felt more confident and easier to find the feeling every time Sun Ce made a three-pointer. Over time, this psychological effect has become fixed!
