One Thousand Six Hundred and Thirty-Two. The Lord Is the Successor of Me and Hakim.
The Grizzlies and Warriors had a special sale for the overtime game, and you could watch the live broadcast for 50 cents. In just a 3-minute break, more than 1 million copies were sold in North America. The sales of American Cable TV and Time Warner were similar, and each of them made more than 200,000 US dollars without doing anything.
It was like picking up money.
To say that this game was ugly!
Except for Curry's scoring in the second quarter, the Splash Brothers' scoring in the second half of the third quarter and the first half of the fourth quarter, the other two and a half quarters of the game were as ugly as they could be.
In the second half of the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies didn't score much, but the Warriors scored less. The score was 11 to 7 in the last 5 minutes.
But this didn't stop fans from wanting to watch the overtime game. Sun Ce was only one block away from tying the playoffs' historical block record!
The NBA's single-game block record is 10. In 2012, Bynum beat the Nuggets and got a triple-double of 10 points, 13 rebounds and 10 blocks; Olajuwon got a triple-double of 11 points, 11 rebounds and 10 blocks in the 1990 playoffs against the Lakers; in 1985, Mark Eaton got 8 points, 10 rebounds and 10 blocks against Olajuwon in the game against the Rockets.
Soon, the 3-minute break passed and the overtime began.
Sun Ce did not let the fans wait for too long. After the overtime started, two rounds were played. In the first two rounds, both sides were full of energy and scored two goals each. Curry scored a three-pointer and Iguodala received a pass from Harden and scored a baseline jumper.
Paul George of the Grizzlies scored a long two-pointer. Sun Ce grabbed the offensive rebound of Klay Thompson's mid-range shot and passed it out. Klay Thompson made another mid-range shot and caused Draymond Green, who was defending, to foul and make the free throw.
When the Warriors attacked again, at 2:11 in overtime, Sun Ce flew back to the baseline after defending the pick-and-roll, and slammed Iguodala's layup onto the backboard!
The Warriors' scoring was interrupted at this point. At 4:37 in overtime, Sun Ce switched to Harrison Barnes, and the Warriors had only two seconds left to attack. Harrison Barnes could only face Sun Ce and shoot, but Sun Ce jumped up and poked the ball!
After receiving the rebound from Paul George at close range, the Warriors began to commit a tactical foul.
But the score was 89 to 84. The Grizzlies had a 9-4 run in the first 4 minutes and 40 seconds. Even if the Warriors executed the foul tactic in 20 seconds, it was too late!
In the end, with Paul George and Sun Ce making 4 of 4 free throws,
there was no chance for the Warriors to turn the tables, and the overtime score was 13 to 4. 25 points, 25 rebounds, 11 blocks, 6 assists, 3 steals, 4 fouls and 7 turnovers... Sun Ce played an alternative 5 times 5 data, helping the Grizzlies complete a super comeback with a score of 93 to 84!
...
The game is over. Curry, who played for 46 minutes, scored 26 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block; Harden, who played for 47 minutes, scored 25 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. Like Sun Ce, they both made more turnovers than assists.
Tonight, he got a block... It can be seen how active Curry's defense is, but the result is different from what he wants. Later on, he really had to actively defend.
Can only defend!
In this game, they desperately wanted to grab the home advantage and create initiative.
But the result... Looking at Sun Ce's exaggerated block triple-double, Sun Ce's defensive performance in the second half was simply explosive!
Including overtime, Sun Ce played for 29 minutes after the first half, scoring 14 points, 15 rebounds and 9 blocks. He was just like an enhanced version of Whiteside's athletic ability!
Seeing Sun Ce explode when he disagreed with something, Curry actually felt used to it!
Curry was very sorry for losing this game. It was just a little bit short. If he could get two more points in the first half, the result might be different.
But there was nothing he could do about losing. Both games were away games, and they were not overturned at the last moment. The opponent started to chase in the third quarter and scored 49 to 34 in the second half. At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors were already stunned by the Grizzlies.
Regrets aside, Curry tried hard to adjust his mentality. He had to hold on after losing away games, defend his home court, and impact the battle of the king's mountain!
After the game, Sun Ce felt scared after he got out of the state of being in the game even when he was calm during the halftime break!
The Warriors' performance in the first half was too scary. They were explosive on defense, but the Warriors do have that potential, but Draymond Green is still young and hasn't shown it yet.
Draymond Green played 34 minutes today and his performance was good enough, with 7 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.
When Draymond Green has the defensive ability of the best defensive player, the Warriors' regular defense will definitely be able to take it to the next level!
Fortunately, they are not that strong now, otherwise they might not be able to defend well against the defense in the second half.
However, Sun Ce felt very excited when he thought of the Warriors who will be stronger in the future...
And when the game just ended, the system prompt came!
"Congratulations to the host for breaking the single-game block record in the playoffs, and congratulations to the host for the achievement reward: a random player star experience card for a player who has blocked at least 10 shots in a single game in the playoffs."
During the second half, Sun Ce didn't care about his own statistics. He shot when he needed to and grabbed rebounds when he needed to. He guarded the mid-range and close ranges desperately. When the regular time was over, he saw that he had blocked 9 shots!
Fortunately, he restrained his impulse and did not mess around in overtime. He defended steadily, and the next two blocks came naturally.
In the post-match interview, when Sun Ce was asked about wagging his finger, Sun Ce replied: "You saw it wrong, I compared it to 1, which means I got a block... Did you see me shaking it many times? You've read it all wrong, it's just that I blocked a lot of songs and kept saying that I got another block..."
…
…
Big score 2 to 0!
The Grizzlies defended their home court advantage in a thrilling manner, and then got two days of rest. The morning after the game against the Warriors, the NBA officially announced that Sun Ce did something during the game against the Warriors on April 24, 2014. The referee missed the game when he made an illegal gesture, and Sun Ce was given a technical foul. This was Sun Ce's 10th foul this season and he was fined US$1,500.
Fans saw this news and complained crazily on the forum.
Sun Ce shook his finger 4 times in the third quarter! Missing the verdict every time?
It’s not that Draymond Green, who was unlucky enough to be blocked three times by Sun Ce during the half, complained after the game because Sun Ce waggled his finger at him twice.
Regarding this matter, the media found Mutombo, the retired African mountaineer who has the privilege of wagging his finger in the game. Mutombo has a good relationship with Yao Ming. The matter related to Sun Ce may be for Yao Ming's face, or it may be He really appreciates it. He said in an interview: "How many times has Lord Lord blocked shots? 4 times! More than me, and he has been the leader in blocks 4 times in a row, which is more than me. He should get such a right! The league is developing In terms of inheritance and blocking, Lord is the player most likely to inherit the legacy of Hakeem and me.”
When the reporter heard Mutombo's answer, he couldn't help but said: "The lord is a point guard!"
"What's wrong with the point guard?" Mutombo asked directly: "Is there a rule in basketball that point guards cannot block shots? No! We, a group of old guys, have discussed Lord's performance many times. I think he is an epoch-making player. player of……"
Mutombo's words once again aroused the fans' view that Pat Riley said that the five James's playing together are invincible.
So there is a new comparison. Five Sun Ce and five James are playing. Which side is stronger?
…
While the fans were discussing some weird ideas for some reason, Sun Ce's family had already arrived at the airport.
Sun Ce and Zu'e took the team's charter flight to San Francisco, Lily Collins, little Gohan, and Sun Ce's mother went to Los Angeles, while Sun Ce's father stayed in Memphis to supervise the work.
The speed of American workers makes Sun Ce's father want to invite a group of brothers from those years to come to the United States to build houses. He feels that the group of old men he used to have, who are now in their 60s, are older than this group of 30s. American workers are flexible.
But the contract has been signed, and Sun Ce's father can only wander around with evil eyes every day.
Not to mention, Father Sun Ce, who rides a cool motorcycle, will move more quickly wherever he goes. Although he returns to his original state after leaving, he is full of intimidation...
Lily Collins is almost three months pregnant. Her mother has told her several times that she should go to Los Angeles to raise her baby. The medical quality there is better and there is an obstetrician who was the same as when she gave birth last time. To Lily Collins, She knew better about the situation during pregnancy, and Sun Ce’s mother was also very supportive and went to Los Angeles together.
It's a good time to take a look at the current situation of three hot pot restaurants in Los Angeles. The business is quite good. When doing business in the United States, it is natural to cater to American tastes. Anyway, the hot pot restaurants in San Francisco are very different. There are more Chinese and overseas Chinese in San Francisco, and they are more accustomed to the original taste. .
What makes Sun Ce sad is that the 11 hot pot restaurants in California are all owned by Xiao Gohan. Without him as a son, he still has to help with advertising and does not pay advertising fees.
Zu'e has already passed the TOEFL. As an international student, there is really nothing to be busy with in her first year of high school, except for the extra summer homework... She chose to take a leave of absence and go to the Warriors' home court with Sun Ce to get game tickets. .
This time they will play the Warriors for two consecutive games. The hotel where the Grizzlies are staying is not in Oakland, but in San Francisco. The two cities are close to each other. The drive is not long, but the difference between the five-star hotels of the same brand on both sides is not small.
After arriving in San Francisco, he took a night's rest. On April 26, Sun Ce and the team came to Oracle Arena to prepare for the game.
Arriving at the arena and looking at the arena where he started his rookie season more than four years ago, Sun Ce felt that the arena was even more dilapidated.
According to Sun Ce, the two owners of the Warriors have a lot of dissatisfaction with this arena. As Curry and Harden lead the team to achieve results, their popularity is getting higher and higher. However, the arena's supporting facilities have long been unable to keep up with the times. This is an arena built in 1971. It was originally called the Oakland Sports Center. It has been repaired countless times. Later, it was sponsored by Oracle Software Company in 2006 and was renovated again. However, it was only a renovation, not a reconstruction. The construction area, interior Space has not changed at all from 1971.
However, the Oakland city government had no money and could not provide funding for renovations. At this time, the San Francisco government and Chase Bank offered an olive branch. Sun Ce knew that the Warriors would definitely agree. In a few years, this arena will no longer have an NBA team.
Sun Ce still feels a little sad about this. This stadium is also one of the places where his dream started. He officially became an NBA player from here.
…
By April 27, six playoff game days had passed. Some series had played two games, and some had played three games.
Currently, the Thunder leads the Trail Blazers 2-1, the Bulls, Spurs, Lakers, Grizzlies, Nets, and Heat are all leading 2-0, and the 76ers are also leading 2-1.
However, the difference between the Thunder and the 76ers is that the Thunder won the first game of the series away from home and played 2-1.
Home advantage is really important in the playoffs. In the first round, only the Thunder got the home advantage. In those series with similar strengths, the team with home advantage won.
However, the 76ers almost tied the score to 3-0 in the third game. The two teams tied at 82 in regular time. In overtime, the 76ers were silent, but the Raptors had players exploded. Terrence Ross, who only scored 8 points in the first two games and the third game, scored three three-pointers in overtime, which made no sense. He scored 9 points alone to help the Raptors play a 9-4 wave, and finally beat the 76ers 91-86. The Raptors avoided the tragic situation of falling behind 0-3.
Today, the Grizzlies will challenge the Warriors away.
There are three other games today, the Bulls and the Hawks, the Nets and the Pacers, and the Spurs and the Jazz.
In terms of overall time distribution, the Grizzlies' game was the third game to start. At 5:40 pm Los Angeles time, after warming up, Sun Ce and his teammates entered the court.
The substitutes lined up in two rows. When Sun Ce ran out of the player tunnel first, there were boos at the scene, but also cheers.
Chinese fans, overseas Chinese, fans who came from China to watch the game, and some Asian fans still support Sun Ce.
Other fans booed Sun Ce more because they wanted to forget the fact that Sun Ce was once their rookie, which they could not accept, and to cheer for their own team.
Four and a half years ago, Curry scored 25 points in his career debut, and Sun Ce scored a triple-double in the opening game of the 09-10 season, which was regarded as his official debut by the NBA. Curry scored 7 three-pointers in a single game and Sun Ce scored a triple-double. At that time, there were fans looking forward to how terrible Sun Ce and Curry would be when they grow up.
However, this combination only lasted 8 games, and now fans can only see the almost perfect cooperation between the two in the All-Star Game.
Now it is almost impossible for the two to join forces again. Curry's 5-year contract will not have a player option until 2017. Sun Ce cannot play for the Warriors again, and fans can only regret it.
This situation cannot be changed, so real local fans will ask for a photo with Sun Ce when they see him buying souvenirs with Zu Ge on the roadside, but when they see Sun Ce on the court, they will boo him!
Now, fans are thinking about beating the Grizzlies and Sun Ce!
Currently, the Warriors are 0-2 behind, which is dangerous, but it is expected. When the strength is similar, the home advantage is particularly important.
Just like when Sun Ce shook his finger in the second game, even if the referee did not react at the first time, he should have blown the whistle the second time, but the referee still did not blow it, because every time Sun Ce blew the whistle, there was overwhelming cheers at the scene. It was the Grizzlies' home court, otherwise Sun Ce would have to eat a technical foul on the spot.
In the second game, the Grizzlies would have lost if they lost one more point in regular time.
The game also needs to consider the right time, right place and right people. People always need to hear words of encouragement, and for athletes, cheers and applause are the best encouragement.
Most teams have a higher winning rate at home than away games. Playing at home, if nothing else, feels at ease! Playing in a stadium where you have to play 41 games in the regular season is always more familiar than playing away games at most twice in the regular season.
At 6 pm, since today was not a continuous live broadcast, the game started on time!
This time, the Grizzlies caught the Warriors off guard. In the first three minutes of the game, Sun Ce and Paul George took advantage of Klay Thompson's running position to score 13 points together. Sun Ce made two mid-range shots and a three-pointer, and Paul George made a three-pointer and a mid-range jump shot 2+1, playing a wave of 13 to 7, directly establishing a 6-point lead.
But the Warriors called a timeout and Harden used the breakthrough pass to create opportunities for Iguodala and Curry. Most of the opportunities came from Iguodala, and Iguodala really didn't give up at the critical moment, and he stood up!
Iguodala scored 12 points in the first quarter and stole Sun Ce once, helping the Warriors tie the score at 31 to 31 at the end of the first quarter.
However, the 6-point lead at the beginning gave the Grizzlies a buffer. Even without this 13 to 7 wave, it is not necessarily guaranteed that Iguodala will not explode.
The game between the two teams continued to be tense. Both sides tried to play defense in the second half, but tacitly gave up in the second half of the third quarter because the score was very tight and no one wanted to have problems with their touch at the critical moment.
In the middle of the fourth quarter, the Warriors, who had already taken a 4-point lead in the third quarter and maintained a lead of less than 5 points in the first half of the fourth quarter, played a 7-0 wave. The Grizzlies did not score in three consecutive rounds and the Warriors seized the opportunity. It was just three balls, but in this kind of game with similar strength, one ball can decide the outcome, let alone three.
This 7-0 wave helped the Warriors establish a leading advantage. In the end, relying on Harden's 34 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, Iguodala's 5 three-pointers in a single game, and Curry's stable open shots and containment, the Warriors defeated the Grizzlies 110-103 and defended their first home court!
