One Thousand Seven Hundred and Twenty-Five. The Fastest Sixty Wins in History!

He played 37 minutes in the whole game, and played all 5 minutes of overtime. He made 10 of 14 shots, including two three-pointers, plus 4 of 4 free throws. Yi Jianlian scored 26 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal in a single game!

Judging from the score, it is definitely not high. He ranks fifth among the players of both teams. Sun Ce's 32 points, Gay's 29 points, Duncan's 28 points, and Aldridge's 27 points are all higher than Yi Jianlian.

However, his performance of 10 of 14 shots at this point was definitely unpredictable by the Spurs!

Because the Spurs' close-range and three-point defense is very good, and even this time they defended the mid-range well, because the double-teaming was done well.

However, since it is a double-teaming, there will definitely be gaps. Coach Hollins chose to let Yi Jianlian continue to play more because of Yi Jianlian's performance in the last game against the Bulls.

Yi Muhualian, a lonely nobleman who usually doesn't talk much, is ruthless and doesn't talk much. He scored 20+ in two consecutive games!

Yi Jianlian's point is a point that the opponent's defense must leave open, which allowed the Spurs to take a 6-point lead in the first quarter. Sometimes, you can defend Sun Ce, Randolph, Aldridge, Klay Thompson and others very well in the second and third quarters. The Grizzlies only scored 47 points in the second and third quarters, of which 15 points were scored by Yi Jianlian.

It was also because of Yi Jianlian's 15 points that the Grizzlies were behind 31 to 37 in the first quarter, but they were still able to rely on defense and trailed the Spurs by only 7 points with 78 to 85 after the first three quarters.

In the last quarter, Yi Jianlian scored two goals in a row, a three-pointer and a mid-range shot, helping the Grizzlies narrow the disadvantage to two points in one fell swoop when the Spurs only missed one attack at the beginning.

Yi Jianlian, who had already scored 20 points, had to be taken seriously by the Spurs. He played for 22 minutes and scored 20 points with 8 of 11 shots. If he was allowed to play any longer, Yi Jianlian would have to score 30 points.

When the Spurs changed their defensive goals, they didn't do so well. Both teams started to attack. The Grizzlies scored 34 to 32 in the last 11 minutes of the fourth quarter, 117 to 117. The Grizzlies stubbornly dragged the game into overtime.

In overtime, Sun Ce and Aldridge scored 12 points together, helping the Grizzlies to score 12 to 8. The Grizzlies narrowly defeated the Spurs and won 4 consecutive victories. They won all 4 regular season games against the Spurs this season, sweeping the Spurs!

Originally, after Sun Ce used the physical potion during the halftime break, he almost couldn't help but use the star experience card. Fortunately, he held back. The purpose of holding back was to save a card. It was close to the playoffs, and there was no risk of accumulating 4 center All-Star cards for the time being, so it was useless.

At this time, Yi Jianlian made a great contribution.

The day after the game with the Spurs, Sun Ce and his teammates came to Dallas, the city where the Mavericks, the last opponent of the 5-game away game, were located.

After a night of rest, on March 9, the Grizzlies' away game against the Mavericks arrived.

It was the last game of the 5-game road trip. Although they were exhausted from the consecutive away games, Sun Ce felt that his teammates were still ready for the game.

At 6:40 in the evening, after warming up, Sun Ce and his teammates entered the court together.

The Mavericks players saw the Grizzlies players enter the court first and knew that tonight would be a tough battle. For them, the advantage is that they are in consecutive home games, while their opponents are experiencing consecutive away games, and it is the last game of the 5-game road trip.

This year, the Mavericks will not care about the regular season record. Relying on a wave of efforts in the past period after the All-Star Weekend, the Mavericks have played 62 games and currently have 40 wins and 22 losses, surpassing the Trail Blazers and coming to sixth in the West.

No one wants to meet the Grizzlies in the first round, and they all want to move their rankings to a higher position, because the closer it gets to the end of the season, the more intense the competition will be, and it is possible that they will be accidentally dropped out of the playoffs. Even if they meet the Grizzlies in the first round, it is difficult for the teams in the lower half of the Western Conference playoffs to accept it.

After entering the court, Nowitzki looked at his teammates, Conley, Ellis, Aminu, Bosh, Chandler, such a starter, plus him as the sixth man, and Barea, Villanueva, Harris, Felton... As many as 11 people rotate, and they are all former stars or high-quality role players that fans can call out by name.

Except when he was a teammate with Yao Ming, this was almost the strongest lineup he had at other times in his career. Nash, Jason Terry, Josh Howard, and his and Dampier's lineup were not as good as now.

And he can also get 18 points per game as a substitute. Such a strong lineup is difficult to make it into the top four in the West! Nowitzki feels that the world is changing too fast.

Fortunately, they were able to fight against the Thunder, Warriors, Lakers, and Spurs. It was hard to say who would win or lose in a series.

As for the three previous matches against the Grizzlies, they had no way to resist. The first three matches were in October and November. At that time, their condition was average. After all, there were many veterans, and the Grizzlies were on a crazy 27-game winning streak at the beginning. They had no room to struggle.

This time, Nowitzki and his teammates put all their efforts into winning at least the next game!

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the game started.

The Grizzlies did not prepare to rest during their two consecutive away trips in the Southwest Division. It was already March, and they had to prepare for the playoffs. They would play with all their main players against such a team that had the strength to fight them.

However, the Mavericks players performed poorly tonight, even Paul George and Aldridge did not perform well.

Sun Ce could only take on more responsibility for organizing the offense, and at the same time he had to take into account scoring, which was very difficult.

In the end, although Sun Ce made 11 of 25 shots, including 3 of 7 three-pointers, plus 7 of 8 free throws to get 31 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal, and Klay Thompson had 29 points, the Grizzlies only scored 95 points, that is, except for the Splash Brothers, the rest of the Grizzlies only scored 35 points!

On the Mavericks side, Conley scored 12 points and 8 assists, Nowitzki came off the bench to score 18 points, Ellis scored the second highest 30 points in the game, and Bosh scored 22 points... The Mavericks ended the Grizzlies' 4-game winning streak with a score of 107 to 95, giving the Grizzlies their 6th loss of the season.

…

Last year, the Mavericks swept them, and they were unable to retaliate this year. Sun Ce was a little depressed, but thinking about the 4-1 record in 5 consecutive away games, such a high winning rate, if it were a normal season, it would really be a very good performance.

It’s just a little worse than the previous 57 wins and 5 losses, which reached a winning rate of 92%.

Sun Ce knew that this was a problem of mentality, and it was also a problem they needed to be vigilant about. There must be pride, but they can’t be too proud and then turn into not daring to lose.

They don’t want to lose, but if they lose, they have to calm down.

After this game, Sun Ce analyzed that the previous game against the Spurs was a hearty duel, and they fought until the last moment to win, and they all played very happily.

They like to win, but they also enjoy the original fun of the game. However, this hearty battle also made the Grizzlies feel more tired because of the consecutive away games.

57 wins and 6 losses, 63 games have been played, and there are 19 games left... Just go step by step.

They have tried their best to win every game. The final result is important, but it is more important to adjust their mentality to face every game.

The key is that he can't mess up this point!

…

After 5 consecutive away games, Sun Ce and the team returned to Memphis on March 10. Next is a wave of 4 consecutive home games. The opponents are okay, not particularly strong. They play against the Jazz on the 11th, the Bucks on the 13th, the Trail Blazers on the 15th, and the Nuggets on the 17th.

After a night of rest, at 5 pm on March 11, the Grizzlies played against the Jazz at home.

In fact, it was still a game every other day, and the first home game also experienced a flight. I just returned to Memphis yesterday.

But the home court is the home court, and it feels very different. Even if the teammates still have a low touch, they did better on the defensive end this time. Moreover, the Jazz and the Mavericks are really a level apart! At most, they are similar in strength to the Trail Blazers.

95 to 87, the Grizzlies played the best defense after the All-Star Weekend. Even though they didn't feel good about shooting, they relied on defense to beat the Jazz and improved their record to 58 wins and 6 losses!

After playing the first game of consecutive home games, the advantage of consecutive home games was reflected. They didn't have to fly long distances and could spend the night comfortably at home.

When they played against the Bucks on the 13th, it was obvious that the Grizzlies' state had recovered. Even if Randolph and Larry Sanders were rested tonight, the Grizzlies still beat the Bucks 121 to 107 and won two consecutive victories!

Sun Ce got his eighth triple-double of the season, 9 of 14 shots, including 1 of 2 three-pointers, plus 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 25 points, 13 rebounds, 13 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals, helping Paul George and Aldridge both get 20 points!

Another day passed, and on March 15, the Grizzlies faced the challenge of the Trail Blazers. Lillard was explosive tonight. Facing the rotation defense of Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Tony Allen, even Carter was used to try to defend Lillard, but he still failed. Lillard made 15 of 26 shots, including 3 of 4 three-pointers, plus 9 of 10 free throws, and scored 42 points and 11 assists, helping the Trail Blazers to score 113 points in a single game, as if he was unstoppable like a god descending from heaven.

However, he was not the highest scorer in the game... Klay Thompson, who had a sluggish performance in the previous few games, broke out without warning and confronted Lillard, scoring 9 three-pointers in a single game, 14 of 23 shots, including 9 of 15 three-pointers, plus 8 of 8 free throws, scoring 45 points, 3 rebounds, 0 assists, and 2 steals, helping Paul George get 15 points and 15 assists, and also led to Sun Ce's three-pointers. Sun Ce made 5 of 8 three-pointers tonight and also scored 31 points.

With the performance of the strongest trio on the perimeter, the Grizzlies defeated the Trail Blazers 122-113, winning three consecutive games and becoming the first team to win 60 games this season!

60 wins in 66 games, this speed is even faster than the Bulls that year!
