One Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty-Seven. The Unstoppable Splash Brothers
Sun Ce scored 19 points, 8 rebounds, 12 assists and 2 blocks in the first half.
Klay Thompson scored 27 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 steal in the first half, including 21 points in the second quarter.
Paul George, 9 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.
The fans didn't react to what happened. When they reacted, their team had already overtaken and led by 11 points despite a considerable disadvantage!
The fans were in a state of agitation throughout the halftime break.
When the halftime break ended and the players of both teams returned to the court, the fans on the scene were shouting "BEAT-LA" loudly.
There were also many fans shouting "Klay" or "Buddha" and "spray".
Sun Ce was also surprised. Maybe Klay Thompson is the first player in NBA history who can be so popular purely by shooting three-pointers.
The popularity of Reggie Miller and Ray Allen is weaker than that of Klay Thompson.
Sun Ce and Curry are not pure three-point shooters. They are all-around combo guards or multi-purpose guards. When Ray Allen was at his peak, he was still an all-around player, and his popularity was not very high. Reggie Miller was only selected as an All-Star starter once when Jordan retired, and that year, he only had more than 40,000 votes more than Mark Price, who was the third-placed guard in the Eastern Conference.
Klay Thompson is the first player who has gained a large number of fans purely by three-pointers.
Looking at Sun Ce who changed his jersey and returned to the court, Klay Thompson and Paul George who were ready to continue playing, and the twin towers of Yi Jianlian and Stoudemire who were ready to play... the fans at the scene were excited!
They saw that their team wanted to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop in the third quarter!
And Sun Ce and others really wanted to do this!
They couldn't afford to waste time. Although they were leading by 12 points, if they chose to play steadily and keep the score difference... The Lakers' third quarter this season, after they had gone through the initial running-in period, was terrifying!
Just look at the first half from the start of the game to the 5th minute and 11 seconds of the second quarter. The Grizzlies tried very hard to catch up, but they couldn't.
Playing it safe and steady doesn't work, so we have to take a gamble!
Seeing the five players on the Grizzlies' side coming to the court in their jerseys without any disguise,
without even putting on their training clothes, the Lakers felt a huge pressure!
I didn't expect this to happen at all, even Kobe didn't expect it to happen.
Did the Lakers play badly?
No, they played quite well, with a hit rate of 53%, 26 of 49 shots, and a very high efficiency! 64 points in the first half with few free throws.
Did the Lakers defend badly?
No, the Lakers once scored 14 to 9 in the first half.
Did no one from the Lakers stand up at the critical moment?
Not at all!
Kobe scored 22 points after halftime, James scored 15 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, role players also shot well, Leonard also scored 9 points.
But Klay Thompson made 7 of 7 three-pointers in a single quarter! Helped the Grizzlies get 35 points in less than 7 minutes... The Lakers scored 35 points in the second quarter...
Even Kobe wanted to curse when he saw such a situation!
Gary Payton, the commentator of the NBA basketball program on .T Network TV, saw Kobe staring at Klay Thompson and couldn't help laughing into the microphone: "Kobe, you have come to this day! Do you know how painful it was when I scored 9 three-pointers in a row? You should feel the pain too!"
...
The third quarter was about to start, and Coach Hollins was in a roller coaster mood. He slowly climbed to the top in the first half of the first quarter, and then fell to the bottom after being beaten 14 to 9... Just when he thought it was all over, it suddenly seemed like a rocket was installed and he jumped directly into the sky!
Now, Coach Hollins didn't know whether this wave of firepower could directly break through the atmosphere and take the game away in one wave, or fall down again and fall harder.
But how can we win without fighting?
It was about to go on the court, and Coach Hollins emphasized the tactics, and the starting five of the third quarter went on the court.
On the other hand, the Lakers could only let the starting lineup go up and fight at the beginning of the third quarter.
After the start of the third quarter, the Grizzlies continued to advance!
Coach Hollins's worries were unnecessary. Sun Ce + double 3D, the overall strength is inferior at present, but the talent is not inferior to the opponent!
Unlike the relatively simple tactics arranged by Sun Ce in the second half of the second quarter, the coaching staff made more detailed adjustments to the fierce attack strategy that Sun Ce came up with.
Klay Thompson was responsible for scoring and containment to help his teammates contain the defense; Sun Ce and Paul George were responsible for passing and assisting, and at the same time, Stoudemire, Yi Jianlian, and Klay Thompson did not have to shoot. Sun Ce and Paul George had the opportunity to cut in or open up and shoot.
On the defensive end, the twin towers guarded the basket, blocking the three-pointers of Kobe, Leonard and Metta World Peace. Even if they couldn't defend the mid-range shots, Sun Ce spared no effort to defend everywhere.
Sun Ce was responsible for blocking shots and rebounding, and worked hard with Paul George to steal the ball.
The firepower of the Grizzlies overwhelmed the Lakers, and the key to the Grizzlies' smooth offensive and defensive strategy was Klay Thompson's three-pointer!
After 1 three-pointer in the first quarter and 7 three-pointers in the second quarter, Klay Thompson scored 4 more three-pointers in the third quarter, plus a long two-pointer and a three-pointer fouled and 3 free throws. After three quarters, Klay Thompson scored 44 points!
33 minutes of playing time, 14 of 20 shots, including 12 of 16 three-pointers, plus 4 of 5 free throws. After three quarters, Klay Thompson scored 44 points!
In the third quarter, the Lakers' offense was OK, but when Klay Thompson suddenly broke out and scored two three-pointers in a row, and Sun Ce followed with a three-pointer, the Lakers' offense was greatly affected.
Klay Thompson scored 12 three-pointers in three quarters, becoming the fifth player in NBA history to score at least 12 three-pointers in a single game after Kobe, Donyell Marshall, Sun Ce, and Curry!
After Sun Ce finished three quarters, he only scored 10 points in the first quarter, 5 minutes and 11 seconds. He first made a three-pointer to drive Klay Thompson, and then Klay Thompson kept feeding back. In the last quarter, 6 minutes and 49 seconds, he easily scored 18 points, played the first three quarters, and scored 28 points, 11 rebounds, 15 assists, 4 blocks and 1 steal.
After the Lakers' offense was affected and they played anxiously, Sun Ce got 2 blocks and 1 steal!
After Paul George finished three quarters, he also got 13 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals!
With Klay Thompson continuing to perform wildly in the third quarter with 15 points in a single quarter, the Grizzlies scored 35 to 27 in the third quarter. After three quarters, the Grizzlies led the Lakers by 19 points with 110 to 91!
