One Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty-Five. The Feel Is on Fire!

In the first half of the first quarter, the Grizzlies scored 18 to 15 and entered the official timeout with a 3-point lead.

But after Paul George went down, the lineup of Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Klay Thompson, Prince, and Gasol came up, and they were beaten 14 to 9.

After the first quarter, the Grizzlies fell behind 27 to 29 and were overtaken by the Lakers by two points!

After the official timeout in the first quarter, the Grizzlies made two personnel adjustments, mainly inside adjustments. The combination of Prince and Gasol, and the combination of Larry Sanders and Gasol were not very effective in defending against the Lakers' inside combination.

Especially when the Lakers used the inside combination of Boozer and Kaman, although the Grizzlies would not suffer from speed and the opponent was slow, these two people could shoot. After pulling Gasol out, the forward-guard combination of Leonard and JR Smith kept cutting in. Blake, who replaced James, this steady point guard sent 4 assists in half a quarter!

Moreover, the inside combination of Larry Sanders and Gasol in the last few minutes also affected the offense, magnifying Tony Allen's outside offensive black hole. Originally, Prince and Gasol were on the court, with Sun Ce and Klay Thompson, and they could minimize the offensive impact brought by Tony Allen.

Sun Ce scored 8 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks in the first quarter, 6 points in the first half, and performed very well. He only scored two points in the second half. It seems that 8 points in a single quarter is good, but it is not so good in fact.

This is the second time to play against the Lakers this season. Sun Ce clearly felt how important it is for the Lakers to get Boozer!

Boozer's accurate mid-range shooting, certain high-post passing ability, and the ability of one of the best pick-and-roll executors in the league... Except for his poor defense and slower speed due to his age, he has no other obvious shortcomings on the offensive end.

And it's cheap! For such a power forward who averaged 18+9+2 last season, the Lakers only need to pay him a mini-middle-class salary!

For the Lakers, Boozer is the key to their dominance in positional warfare.

In addition, Leonard's performance opportunities and ability to seize opportunities also make Sun Ce feel pressure, pressure from the future!

Averaging 12.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.6 blocks per game, Leonard's data is not so impressive, and his health is also average. He has only played 20 games since the start of the new season. In the past two years, he has missed more than 10 games each year, but they are all minor injuries.

The main reason is that he continues to improve! From only B+ level quasi-first-class defense and relying on physical fitness to cut in without many other advantages in his rookie year,

Now his basic skills are getting more and more solid, and progress can be seen every year.

On the defensive end, Leonard has begun to show the shadow of the best defensive player.

However, health and physical strength are still Leonard's shortcomings. Leonard's A-level physical strength can only play 30 minutes per game at most.

Maybe he will get better with age in the future. When he is at his peak, he will have A-level physical strength and can play for 34 or 35 minutes, but it is still a defect. He is not the kind of player who can lead the team alone and needs help.

But there is James who actively adjusts his playing style next to him... and in Los Angeles!

...

Pressure is pressure, but Sun Ce is very excited to see such a thing happen. It is more fun to kill such an opponent!

The future has long been unpredictable because of his butterfly with increasingly hard wings. In this case, just accept it calmly.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Sun Ce continued to play. Paul George rested for half a quarter and could play the whole second quarter. It was Klay Thompson's turn to rest, and Livingston, Stoudemire, and Larry Sanders played.

Keep attacking!

On the Lakers side, James and Kobe teamed up to play, and Mike Miller, Wesley Johnson, and Nene partnered in the frontcourt.

In the first quarter, Kobe scored 5 points in half a quarter, 2 of 3 shots, one of which was a three-pointer. In general, he played very restrained, trying to find opportunities to catch the ball and shoot, but he had a good touch and shot accurately.

In the second quarter, Kobe played more actively and began to show his still ferocious fangs. When the team played well, Kobe ran to catch the ball and shoot. When the team's offense was blocked, Kobe went to his position to catch the ball and shoot.

In this lineup, James and Nene's pick-and-roll against Paul George, Larry Sanders, and Sun Ce's defense, Wesley Johnson, a physical man, cuts in to score, and has a certain three-point ability, Mike Miller is a pure shooter, Kobe can catch the ball and shoot, pass the ball, and play high and low backs, which makes full use of James's bottoming and Kobe's high ceiling!

The Grizzlies were once in a state of exhaustion.

This time, the trio of Sun Ce, Paul George, and Larry Sanders has actually done a very good job in defending James' pick-and-roll offense and strong offense.

However, Kobe always stands up to solve the problem when the Lakers' team offense is blocked, allowing James to organize the offense with all his strength without worrying about it, unlike the last two years of the Heat, when Wade can't play hard and the pick-and-roll offense is blocked, James can only rely on James to play hard.

James has given Kobe an even easier playing environment than last season, and Kobe has also made James play more easily.

This is like Jordan with Pippen, but the difference is that James is stronger than Pippen. When Kobe can't play, James can still stand up to solve the problem.

The Lakers had the upper hand in the fast-paced lineup of both teams. At 5 minutes and 11 seconds in the second quarter, they opened the score to 47-40, played a wave of 18-13 scoring shock waves, and expanded the score difference by 5 points again, leading the Grizzlies by 7 points.

When the score difference was pulled to 5 points in the 3rd minute, Coach Hollins had already called a timeout, replaced Klay Thompson in advance, and persisted for nearly two minutes to keep the score difference within 5 points, but just now, they were 4 points behind, and Mike Miller made a three-pointer, and the score difference was suddenly pulled to 7 points!

Just when Coach Hollins couldn't help but call a timeout again, Sun Ce, who advanced to the frontcourt, used Stoudemire's pick-and-roll at the top arc, faced the double-team defense of Nene who switched defense and James who came out directly from the high position, and shot directly!

I really couldn't help it, it was too depressing!

It seems that the Grizzlies scored well, but it was all based on the fast-paced offense and defense transition, and the efficiency was much lower than that of the Lakers. They were about to be completely widened by the opponent!

In order to avoid the interference of the opponent's pick-and-roll and the pick-and-roll defense duo, Sun Ce's body tilted in this shot, but it went in!

Sun Ce's most accurate shooting point on the right side of the top arc, plus the 5th level effect of the ball-holding pick-and-roll expert temporarily increased two small grades to the S-level top arc three-pointer. At this moment, the touch came, and Sun Ce's pick-and-roll back wave shot hit the three-pointer!

43 to 47, the Grizzlies narrowed the gap to 4 points!

At the same time, Sun Ce's personal score also increased to 14 points, and the data became 14 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks!

Finally, in the next round, the Lakers missed the shot, Kobe scored 10 points in half a quarter, and he received the ball on the left side of the free throw line without making a fake move. Facing Livingston's defense, he directly received the ball and turned over and shot a mid-range jumper but missed.

Sun Ce received the defensive rebound, and the Grizzlies counterattacked!

Sun Ce scored a three-pointer, triggering the third level of Splash Power. His goal was to find a chance to pass to Klay Thompson, but he did not pass directly, but to Paul George.

Paul George received the ball and rushed to the inside line while moving. On Sun Ce's side, Klay Thompson came to help him with a pick-and-roll without the ball. Sun Ce rushed to the right corner after the pick-and-roll. Kobe and James rushed to him. Paul George rushed to the inside line under the defense of Wesley Johnson, attracting Nene's defense. Stoudemire was blocked by Mike Miller, and Klay Thompson, who was pulled open after helping Sun Ce with a pick-and-roll without the ball, was left empty!

Paul George passed the ball, and Klay Thompson received the ball at the top of the arc. That feeling of extreme confidence came again. After receiving the ball, Klay Thompson pulled up and shot quickly... hit a three-pointer from the top of the arc!

46 to 47, the Grizzlies played a 6-0 wave, narrowing the gap to 1 point!

Half a minute ago, it was the Grizzlies who wanted to call a timeout, but half a minute later, it was the Lakers' turn to call a timeout!

Old Bickerstaff held steady and did not call a timeout. Although every time Sun Ce and Klay Thompson connected successfully, it was very scary, but they were still leading.

Momentum is very important. If they called a timeout after being beaten 6-0, their momentum would be suppressed by the opponent, which is called being stopped.

Attack and defense switch, the Lakers attack.

Sun Ce felt a lot of pressure, and James was under the same pressure!

The Grizzlies were chasing points like crazy, and the Lakers were also trying their best to maintain their lead?

Chasing points like crazy at least means that the Grizzlies have a chance to chase points.

What put the most pressure on James was the successful connection between Sun Ce and Klay Thompson just now!

These two people can be regarded as the strongest three-point combination in the league!

After James advanced to the frontcourt, Kobe began to run at full speed.

Kobe felt very annoyed with the ball just now. He scored 9 points in the second quarter and easily surpassed Sun Ce's score. He couldn't help but waved a little, but he didn't score, and was beaten 6-0 by the opponent.

If the opponent had not played a defensive counterattack in the previous defense, they would not have given Klay Thompson such a good three-point opportunity, and would rather give him two points.

Kobe actively ran and got the opportunity. He went around the baseline and used Wesley Johnson's pick-and-roll to get rid of Klay Thompson briefly. James' pass after the top arc and Nene's pick-and-roll was very timely. Kobe received the ball and made a close-range jump shot at the baseline... With Sun Ce's defense, he made a backward jump shot!

After scoring, Kobe did not blow the gun finger or hold the jersey to show off. He immediately retreated to prevent the opponent from directly starting a fast break. The Lakers were fast enough. If the ball went in, the opponent had a serve time. They had a buffer and could retreat back in time.

However, Sun Ce was not in a hurry. He estimated that the opponent would call a timeout regardless of whether the next attack was scored or not. The opponent scored a goal after being beaten 6-0. If the opponent defended it next, the morale would not be suppressed. The time to call a timeout to replace Kobe was just right. If their Grizzlies scored, the Lakers would also have to call a timeout, and they would not give the Grizzlies a chance to fully gain momentum.

In this case, we must ensure the success rate.

When Klay Thompson scored a three-pointer just now, he, Sun, got "returned the favor" and triggered the splash! Just now, it was him, Sun, who nurtured Klay Thompson's touch, and now it's his turn to benefit!

And the touch is just right, Sun Ce can play a round patiently.

After arriving at the frontcourt, Sun Ce received a pass from Paul George, faced James' defense, and gestured to Klay Thompson... randomly.

But Klay Thompson just scored a three-pointer, and Sun Ce gestured randomly, and the opponent also thought that Sun Ce was going to pass the ball to Klay Thompson!

This is difficult to defend, because Sun Ce will not deliberately ask for assists. Just like just now, Sun Ce had the opportunity to pass the ball directly to Klay Thompson after the ongoing pick-and-roll, but in order to prevent Klay Thompson from being affected by Wesley Johnson, Nene, and Mike Brown, he let Paul George, who cut in, receive the ball and rush into the inside before passing it to Klay Thompson, playing very selflessly.

Both are triple-double maniacs, and in the minds of the players, there is still a big difference between Sun Ce and Westbrook.

Klay Thompson did not understand Sun Ce's gestures at all, but he understood the meaning and started to run immediately. The first was to take away the defense here, away from Sun Ce, to prevent Sun Ce from being assisted by Kobe; or when he got a chance here but did not have a good passing route, he took the initiative to run past Sun Ce, allowing the defensive players or assisting players on Sun Ce's side to help defend him.

Second, Klay Thompson knew that if he really ran out of the opportunity, Sun Ce would definitely pass it to him, and even cooperate with Paul George or other teammates to pass it to him like just now.

Klay Thompson started to run, and with Sun Ce's gesture, the Lakers naturally thought that Sun Ce was going to pass the ball to Klay Thompson, because Sun Ce's gesture was not a one-on-one tactic.

When Klay Thompson ran along the free throw line toward the right sideline after the pick-and-roll, Sun Ce and Stoudemire set a pick-and-roll, took two steps sideways after the pick-and-roll, grabbed the ball, and made a move to throw it to Klay Thompson.

James was actually very alert and did not fully believe in Sun Ce's "tactical command action" just now, but when he saw Sun Ce grab the ball and make a passing action, James, who came out from the upper line, subconsciously rushed in the direction of Sun Ce's pass. Just now, Prince helped Klay Thompson with the pick-and-roll, and Kobe did not keep up!

However, Sun Ce took back his hand holding the ball and shot within two seconds after the pick-and-roll. The three-point bonus effect of the ball-holding pick-and-roll expert level 5 was triggered, and the top arc area three-point evaluation was temporarily upgraded to S level!

Since there was no confrontation, the horizontal pull also got rid of Nene's switch defense. Sun Ce's action was very smooth and he made another three-pointer!

49-49 tie!

The Lakers called a timeout!

It's better to waste a timeout! Lakers coach Bickerstaff is now very upset.

It's true that the Lakers have an advantage, but the opponent's lineup is getting more and more complete. Without Randolph tonight, the Lakers have more chances to win and are more confident of winning.

But it's difficult to have an absolute advantage because the opponent has Sun Ce! They have done a good job in limiting Sun Ce's scoring, but Sun Ce's two three-pointers tied Kobe, who has scored the highest score so far in this game, and also scored 17 points!

The key is that once Sun Ce shoots accurately, Klay Thompson will most likely shoot accurately.

When these two people soar, any opponent will feel scalp tingling.

And now, these two people really soared!

In 56 seconds, Sun Ce and Klay Thompson scored three three-pointers in a row.

The difference of 7 points, the two said they tied it!

The two players on the opposite side will definitely continue to play. Originally, Bickerstaff planned to consume Yi Jianlian, and then the Grizzlies could only use Larry Sanders or Gasol Jr. as the center. The Grizzlies' offense would not be so good. Gasol Jr. could only play positional warfare, which could guarantee the success rate, but he could not defend against fast break counterattacks, nor could he launch a counterattack.

However, the opponent's Stoudemire's performance was much better than Bickerstaff expected. He played half of the second quarter, and did better than expected in pick-and-roll, cutting into the dunk, and defensive rebounding. He really put aside his superstar face and assisted Sun Ce well...

In fact, these are not important, they are just small things. No matter how the Grizzlies try to make up for it, it can't make up for the lack of Randolph and Larry Sanders, the inside combination, due to Randolph's suspension.

The Lakers already have an advantage, and it is huge. Although the score difference could not be directly widened, the Grizzlies were indeed exhausted. The Lakers not only failed to let the opponent catch up with them, but also opened up to 7 points.

But Sun Ce and Klay Thompson, the two three-point shooters, are too terrible!

The two of them are soaring, as if they can destroy any disadvantages!

Don't be impatient. Old Bickerstaff replaced Kobe, let Kobe, who played for 13 minutes, rest, and replaced him with Leonard. After thinking about it, James also stayed.

There are many people to choose from in the shooting guard position, including Meeks, JR Smith, and Kobe Jr. Nick Young. Meeks didn't shoot well today, which made Old Bickerstaff regret putting McGrady on the inactive list. JR Smith and Nick Young don't have the ability to catch the ball and shoot. They all like to catch the ball and dribble a few times before shooting. Old Bickerstaff thought JR Smith was already wasteful enough. When Nick Young came this season, he realized that there is no most wasteful, only more wasteful.

However, the latter is more like Kobe. Old Bickerstaff replaced Nick Young with No. 40 jersey, and sent Metta World Peace and Nene to start the inside line.

…

After the timeout, the Grizzlies continued to play with Sun Ce and Klay Thompson, Beverley and Tony Allen came on, and Yi Jianlian was replaced at the center position.

This is just as old Bickerstaff expected. The Grizzlies are going to stagger Yi Jianlian and Stoudemire tonight and continue to attack!

The Lakers attacked first. James faced Sun Ce's single defense and chose to force a breakthrough. After attracting Klay Thompson's defense, he passed the ball to Leonard. Beverly switched defense quickly. Leonard did not take credit and quickly passed it to Nick Young. Nick Young did not shoot directly after receiving the ball, but dribbled it. When Sun Ce made up for the defense, he stepped back and shot a jump shot...

It went in, but Sun Ce felt that the guy on the opposite side would make his teammates bleed.

He didn't shoot when he received the ball in an open position. He had to create difficulty when there was no difficulty. Moreover, when Nick Young shot like this, Leonard didn't assist!

However, the Lakers have gotten used to it. The probability of this happening is too high.

Even when the ball was in Nick Young's hands, the Lakers were ready to retreat!

Attack and defense switched, and the Grizzlies attacked.

Beverly pushed to the frontcourt and passed it to Sun Ce. Sun Ce wanted to play pick-and-roll with Yi Jianlian, but the opponent's outside rotation and defense were very good!

The Lakers' defense is average in the interior, but the defense on the outside is too good. However, Sun Ce wanted to pass the ball to Klay Thompson to continue his three-point offensive before the timeout.

It is already obvious that if the Grizzlies play two points steadily, they are no match for the Lakers. Even if they can hold the score difference and prevent the opponent from pulling away quickly, they cannot stop the opponent from pulling away slowly, which is a slow death.

Now the hand is hot, if not now, when?

Slow play really can't beat the Lakers' such a stable team offense and defense!

Sun Ce couldn't find a pass to Klay Thompson or even Beverley, or Yi Jianlian to pull out the three-point line, and he was also watched more closely here. Just when Sun Ce was about to force a shot, Klay Thompson ran from the middle with Nick Young to the right sideline, running and asking for the ball... Sun Ce did not hesitate, led the team with the ball, and passed to the right sideline. Klay Thompson received the ball and turned around directly, facing Nick Young's defense and shooting a three-pointer... another hit!

Klay Thompson also knew that his touch was coming, so he started shooting!

This shot was the key, and it was also very sudden. Klay Thompson started the crazy three-pointer mode!

Then at 7 minutes and 11 seconds, James broke into the inside and turned to layup to score two points.

At 7 minutes and 21 seconds, Klay Thompson received the ball and hit a three-pointer...

At 7 minutes and 39 seconds, Leonard's fadeaway jumper from the baseline missed, and Sun Ce missed the three-pointer, but Yi Jianlian rushed to grab the three-pointer and passed it out. Klay Thompson, who grabbed the ball, turned out of the baseline, didn't even dribble the ball, and shot directly... and scored again!

At 8 minutes and 08 seconds, Leonard and James cooperated in an alley-oop, and James scored two points with a slam dunk.

At 8 minutes and 22 seconds, Klay Thompson rushed to the baseline to receive the ball. This time, Sun Ce didn't care so much. Wherever Klay Thompson ran, Sun Ce passed it there. Klay Thompson received the ball and turned to shoot a three-pointer at a zero degree angle... and it went in!

After the official timeout, Klay Thompson scored 4 three-pointers in a row, helping the Grizzlies to score 12 to 6, 61 to 55, and the Grizzlies led by 6 points!

The head coach of the Lakers, Old Bickerstaff, called a timeout again!

I didn't react to what happened at all, and I saw Klay Thompson scored a few three-pointers, and then the Lakers fell behind by 6 points. This feeling was the same as when the Lakers faced Sun Ce's 10 three-pointers in a single game!

This feeling is too unreal. The Lakers made 3 of 4 shots after the official timeout! The opponent actually opened up a 6-point gap!

Not to mention the Lakers, the Grizzlies themselves felt incredible.

But both teams felt unreal. Unlike the Lakers who were stunned, the entire Grizzlies team was ecstatic!
