I Don’t Want to Be the Boss

One Thousand Seven Hundred and Forty-Two. I'm Going to Win!

In fact, Sun Ce made a lot of steals, and the Thunder didn't feel particularly uncomfortable. At most, they made more mistakes.

The key is that Sun Ce turned those steals into points! 17 points! 7 steals, three turned into three-pointers, 3 turned into dunks, and one 2+1 without a free throw... It's so hateful!

But by chance, when the Thunder sent out Westbrook, Morrow, Durant, Carl Landry, and Ibaka, the Grizzlies, because Paul George's offensive state began to improve, coach Hollins wanted to use an offensive lineup to rush, and replaced Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Richard Jefferson, and Yi Jianlian.

After the timeout, Sun Ce went to the free throw line and made a hook shot, 82 to 88, and the Grizzlies narrowed the gap to 6 points!

Continue to lock Durant's action!

The opponent gave up the usual rotation of having to send a center forward. Sun Ce led his teammates to speed up crazily and consume Durant to the maximum extent. Durant wanted to play one-on-one, so he double-teamed Durant as soon as he received the ball. No matter what, Durant's one-on-one shooting was better than his teammates' open shots, especially when the Thunder had a good overall feel tonight. Durant made 4 of 6 shots in the first half, which was scary!

If Sun Ce hadn't scored in the first half with those 6 steals and counterattacks, his hit rate would have been only 5 of 12, which was just okay. When Durant was in good physical condition, his shooting was too strong.

The Thunder tried very hard to open up the score, and they were indeed capable. Facing the Grizzlies' lineup, Durant had such a huge threat. The Thunder's offense was very strong, and the Grizzlies could only barely support it.

However, the Thunder felt that what they feared would come true. No matter how hard they tried, Sun Ce would stand up at the critical moment... In the second half of the third quarter, Sun Ce seized another steal opportunity and launched a counterattack!

Although it was not Sun Ce who scored this time, Paul George broke through to the inside and passed the ball to Yi Jianlian for a three-pointer!

This ball greatly affected the situation in the third quarter. The biggest impact was not the reduction of the score difference from 10 points to 7 points, but the impact on the mentality of the Thunder team!

Relying on Sun Ce's 48 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, 8 steals and 1 block in 3 quarters, and relying on the hard defense, double-teaming and offense of others, the Grizzlies stubbornly held the score at the end of the three quarters, 97 to 102, and the Grizzlies fell behind by 5 points into the intermission!

It's not that Sun Ce didn't miss the steal, but he failed to steal several times. Durant also seized the opportunity in the third quarter and received the ball when Sun Ce went to steal. The single defensive player scored 9 points in a single quarter, but that was when the Grizzlies were about to be unable to defend, so there was not much difference. If Sun Ce didn't gamble and steal, Westbrook and Ibaka would have had a chance to pass to the empty teammates.

But once Sun Ce stole, he directly blocked the Thunder's offense, and it was converted into points! Sun Ce has created the highest record of converting personal steals into points in a single game in NBA history!

Previously, Dwyane Wade converted 6 steals into 11 points, which was broken by Sun Ce in the first half!

...

Finally made it to the fourth quarter!

It was too difficult!

However, in the fourth quarter, it was time for the Grizzlies to have an advantage.

Moreover, it was also a situation that the Thunder on the opposite side did not want to see. Playing in the fourth quarter with a team with a deep lineup like the Grizzlies... It's very difficult to play!

The Thunder desperately wanted to widen the score difference in the first three quarters, just to have enough lead in the fourth quarter.

They knew the horror of the Grizzlies in the fourth quarter this season. Although the Grizzlies had locked the victory in many games before the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies, who won 74 of the first 81 games, won most of the time when they encountered strong teams at the critical moment! And the Grizzlies won in the vast majority of cases!

As the Thunder expected, the Grizzlies really took the initiative after the start of the fourth quarter. At 4 minutes and 38 seconds in the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies scored 14 to 8 thanks to the step-back three-pointer made by veteran Pierce, who only played in the fourth quarter. The Grizzlies surpassed the Thunder by 1 point with 111 to 110!

In these 4 minutes, the Thunder only scored 8 points. Durant, who did not get a rest in the third quarter, only made 1 of 3 singles in the fourth quarter. Sun Ce's single defense began to limit Durant!

But the Thunder is still strong. Westbrook immediately took over the offensive banner. Even if Durant's singles efficiency declined, the deterrence was still strong. Westbrook led the team to fight the Grizzlies.

When the official timeout in the fourth quarter came, the Thunder scored 120 to 116, and once again took a 4-point lead. Westbrook's data has increased to 32 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists! Before the official timeout, he scored two points with a tip-in to help the Thunder extend their lead to 4 points. He also grabbed his 10th rebound of the game, another triple-double! The 37th triple-double of the season!

However, when the official timeout came back, Sun Ce first made a 2+1 single-handed attack on Durant, causing damage under the basket. Although the free throw was not made, when Westbrook wanted to pass the ball to Dion Waiters, who came on as a substitute for Morrow to help him and Durant share the pressure of singles, Sun Ce stole the ball!

Sun Ce stole the ball directly at the midline, turned around and hit a long two-pointer, raising his personal score to 55 points, and helping the Grizzlies tie the score again!

The tense game lasted until the last moment. During this period, Sun Ce got two steals. At this time, it was no longer about blocking the Thunder's offense to help the Grizzlies keep the score close, but the Grizzlies took the opportunity to create an advantage!

But the Thunder was also very strong, and they could catch up even if the score was overtaken.

However, when the Grizzlies and the Thunder were chasing points, their mentality was very different, because the Grizzlies had been behind, and now they could overtake the score, which meant that they had a chance to turn the tables!

At 10 minutes and 58 seconds in the fourth quarter, Durant, who had been silent for a long time on the Thunder side, finally broke out and scored two three-pointers in a row, raising his personal score to 26 points. At the same time, the Thunder overtook by two points with 136 to 134!

Immediately afterwards, on the Grizzlies side, Sun Ce made a single mid-range shot and tied the score!

Originally, they wanted to play a three-point tactic, but the opponent blocked the three-pointer, so Sun Ce went for a mid-range single, but fortunately he made it.

Paul George and Klay Thompson also made contributions in the following defense. Paul George slipped in and blocked Westbrook's strong layup. Sun Ce grabbed the 11th rebound of the game and called a timeout directly!

29 seconds left! 136-11!

This time, Thunder coach Brooks is really going to explode. Durant just scored two three-pointers and finally found his shot at the last moment of the game. This is Durant with a big heart. Brooks did not call a timeout to avoid interrupting Durant's touch.

But I didn't expect the result to be like this!

Defended! When Sun Ce grabbed the rebound, the system prompt came!

"Death is triggered. The host's physical strength will be restored to the best state in the remaining 29 seconds of the game. It is easier to find the feeling of shooting and greatly reduce the opponent's shooting interference..."

Back to the bench, Coach Hollins began to arrange the offensive tactics. It was simple and rough. He opened up and let Sun Ce, who had made 20 of 34 shots and 6 of 10 three-pointers tonight, continue to play!

Three points are definitely better, but two points are also OK, as long as they can overtake the score. If they play overtime, the Grizzlies will have an advantage against the Thunder.

After the timeout, the Grizzlies' Sun Ce, Carter, Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Yi Jianlian came on the court.

The Grizzlies served the ball in the frontcourt. To be safe, they prepared to play a fast break first and strive for the last attack.

Sun Ce didn't expect to play a three-pointer from the beginning. He ran back and cut into the basket. Paul George directly hung the basket. Carter rushed in first and attracted the attention of the opponent. As a basketball player, he was too impressed by Carter's alley-oop buzzer-beater. No one noticed Sun Ce. Sun Ce easily cut in and dunked to get two points.

It only took one second... 138 to 136, the Grizzlies overtook by two points at the critical moment!

The Thunder team was about to explode. It was too fast! The defense they planned was completely unplayable!

When it was the Thunder's turn to attack, Durant went directly to the three-point line for a singles game. Sun Ce tried very hard to defend, but after Durant found that his physical strength was declining at the beginning of the fourth quarter, he did not take the initiative to hold the ball and attack, but played slowly. The defense could not defend and there was no way to avoid further consumption of physical strength, so Sun Ce scored 12 points in the last quarter.

And this is for now!

Durant took a step to the mid-range, and with Sun Ce's interference, he made a fadeaway shot... and it went in!

Durant raised his personal score to 28 points, helping the Thunder to tie the score again!

There are 14 seconds left! Sun Ce called the last 20-second timeout, and he had to take this ball himself!

The system prompt has come! This is the first time this skill has been triggered this season.

"Because the host team only has one theoretical attack left and the score is tied, the precondition of Havlicek's Hand is triggered. The host needs to score the ball in the last attack to take the lead. After completing the precondition, Havlicek's Hand can be triggered, and the opponent's receiving player can be predicted in advance. If he is in the right position, he will definitely steal the ball successfully."

There is no arrangement, just let the teammates go directly to the front court to open up the space.

After the timeout, Yi Jianlian served the ball. The Thunder team did not dare to go directly to the front or double-team at this time. With Yi Jianlian's height, as long as he hangs directly under the basket, Klay Thompson does not need to worry too much. Sun Ce, Paul George, and Randolph can all directly dunk!

And Klay Thompson's open three-pointer must not be let go! This guy made 3 key three-pointers to close the score tonight!

Sun Ce came to the top arc and leaned on Durant and the referee to pass the ball to Yi Jianlian, saying loudly: "I'm going to win, right here, with this shot, I'm going to win my 75th victory of the season!"
