One Thousand Eight Hundred and twelve.6, This Number Has a Connection with Buddha

5 up and 5 down. Every time Sun Ce sees coach Hollins rotate like this, his balls ache, but fortunately, he has not escaped from this time and space.

At 10 minutes and 7 seconds of the third quarter, the combination of Livingston, Tony Allen, Paul George, Pierce, and Gobert replaced the combination of Sun Ce, Carter, Klay Thompson, and Randolph Larry Sanders. After the combination, the Grizzlies did not send out Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Aldridge, and Randolph. They used Paul George to hold the line, Carter, Larry Sanders, Yi Jianlian, and Richard Jeffer. Sen rotation.

Although the Grizzlies were beaten 31-27 in a little more than one quarter, the Grizzlies still beat the Bulls 124-101, making the score 2-0!

Sun Ce made 12 of 16 shots in the third quarter, including 7 of 9 three-pointers. He only played 30 minutes and scored 32 points, as well as 10 rebounds and 11 assists. In fact, when the official timeout was announced in the third quarter, Sun Ce could rest, but there was still a lot to be done. Two rebounds... Sun Ce went up and played for a few minutes, raising his personal score to 30+ and getting 2 rebounds and 1 assist before coach Hollins replaced him.

This is a triple-double in the finals! Coach Hollins felt distressed after missing two rebounds.

With this triple-double, Sun Ce has two consecutive triple-doubles! His number of triple-doubles in the finals increased to 5 times! Tied LeBron James for second place in history with five triple-doubles in the Finals, and not far from Magic Johnson's historical record of eight triple-doubles in the Finals!

However, what fans feel the craziest about tonight is not the Grizzlies' big win.

In the first game, the Bulls played defense to such an extent. Rose scored more than 40 points in the first single game in the Finals except for Jordan in team history. The Bulls lost, and their morale was bound to be hit. The second away game was very You may not be playing well and need to return home to adjust. This is a very common situation.

What became popular after the game was that during the halftime break, Carter's ultra-long three-pointer from the backcourt circle circled the rim and unfortunately slipped out of the rim. T.N.T. commentator Shaq O'Neal said Sentence: "Oh-my-god! The Bulls did it, they limited the Grizzlies to less than 70 percent shooting before halftime!"

In the first half of tonight's game, the Grizzlies made 29 of 42 shots, including 10 of 17 three-pointers. They scored 74 points in the half while making only 6 free throws.

With the Grizzlies' shooting percentage, the Bulls don't even know how to play.

This is a situation that Sloan can't think of a way to solve when Jordan comes back to the top.

Time Warner Cable Sports commentator Bill Walton analyzed that this game is a good proof that experience is still useful. The Bulls were stunned by the Grizzlies in the first and half of the first quarter. If it were the Lakers or Spurs,

Maybe it won't be that bad.

Although the overall strength of the Bulls is not weaker than these two teams, when facing extremely bad situations, the Bulls did not suffer in terms of coaching, but in terms of player performance, they did not achieve what Sloan wanted to accomplish, and were purely defeated by the opponent. Just for fun, my mentality exploded.

The importance of veterans is reflected at this time. Apart from Hinrich and Dunleavy, the other main players on the Bulls team who have the longest playing time are Noah and Rose who have just entered the ranks of veterans.

They were unable to fulfill Sloan's request to consume the Grizzlies, and they failed to achieve the goal of creating as little advantage as possible in an extremely disadvantageous situation.

For example, in the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers also lost miserably in the second away game, but they still consumed it when they should, and did not give the Grizzlies a chance to play. In the third game, they alternated home and away games, using their home court advantage to expand the third game. As a result of the attrition in the second game, the Grizzlies may not have done that well on the defensive end, and they still have a chance to win by soaring points... Although people cannot evaluate the effectiveness of the Lakers' approach in the second game. , but in the third game the Lakers scored really well, but lost in the end.

The Bulls, on the other hand, can't even do this basic thing.

But Bill Walton also said that it was the first time for Rose and others to stand on such a stage, and it was normal for them to be stunned, because in comparison, the group of people on the Grizzlies team had too much experience in the finals. , not something the Bulls can compare to.

In this finals, the golden commentary team of Bill Walton and Hubie Brown of Time Warner Cable Sports was one-sided in favor of the Grizzlies. There was no way, who made Pierce, the soul of the Green Army, be lured away by the Grizzlies...

…

…

12 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 turnovers, 13 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 5 turnovers... These are the statistics the Bulls played in the second game of the double-header.

This data is actually not bad. Rose played 29 minutes and Griffin played 28 minutes. But in the context of losing, it is very miserable. Moreover, in such playing time, the two made a total of 8 turnovers. .

Emotionally, Ross was fine, but his heart was full of reluctance.

As for Griffin, his mentality is really broken. He feels that he is so unlucky to be a player in the same class as Sun Ce, and then he has been beaten since he entered the NBA.

Before the finals, he won 12 consecutive victories, came to Memphis with full fighting spirit, and then returned to Chicago in despair...

When I was still returning to Chicago, as soon as I came out of the airport, I saw the news on my phone that the Grizzlies were arriving at the Chicago airport.

At this time, the importance of Professor Yang is reflected. It is necessary to quit Internet addiction!

It's obviously an offseason, or two days of rest, but for the players, the game is work, a passion, and a pursuit... Bulls players feel the Grizzlies' pressure outside of the game!

This made the Bulls players feel overwhelming pressure during the offseason. Even though Rose had a strong mentality, he didn't sleep all night on the night he returned to the Bulls and the entire night of June 4th. Only fall asleep when it's time to sleep.

On the other side, the Grizzlies did not sleep very well. Fans gathered on the street outside the hotel for a parade... The slogans of the parade were different. Anyway, they were marching for the sake of the parade, and they were marching back and forth around the hotel... until 10 p.m. the police Out of martial law, Chicago’s curfew this summer is from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.

There are many reasons for curfews in the United States, the main one being safety reasons.

But the police came out, and those "parading" people still relied on the strength of the crowd and waited until nearly 12 o'clock to completely disperse.

The police turned a blind eye and kept shouting with loudspeakers, but did not take any substantive eviction actions...

Sun Ce and others were forced to fall asleep at two or three o'clock. Because they were sleepy, they finally found sleep again.

However, I can't sleep either, but the Grizzlies are much better. When I can't sleep, I can still get together to tease the Bulls or discuss the game. I can also think about playing games, such as the linkage between Sun Ce and the team's family member Zu Ge in the middle and jungle. Tricks all over Summoner's Rift...

Fortunately, Zu'e had already anticipated this situation and carried two notebooks on his back for the away game.

This small interference did not affect the Grizzlies. In the second game, they did not gain much experience. They were crushed directly. They slept until noon on the 5th and did not get up until noon on the 5th. In the afternoon, they took shots to maintain their condition. , tactical movement training, more importantly, the coaching staff emphasizes not to be careless.

Coach Hollins’s words were very direct: “We are sure to win, and the championship is ours, but I am the same as you, I want to win completely, and I think you all are the same. We cannot let up any slack. If we want to relax, wait until Let’s relax after the finals…”

Coach Hollins' words are indeed a good medicine. At this stage, nothing can stimulate the enthusiasm of the Grizzlies players more than this!

…

The day flew by, and on June 6, the game day of the third game of the Finals between the Grizzlies and Bulls arrived.

The further ahead you are, the more focused you have to be, because you don’t know what will happen. It’s the last step of the season. The Grizzlies, under the supervision of coach Hollins, focused on the pre-game meeting. After reviewing the training and preparing for the game, I took a good rest all afternoon and entered the court at 7:40 pm. The first away game of the Grizzlies Finals was about to begin.

When entering the venue, Sun Ce felt that there was indeed a gap between the Bulls and the Lakers from the opponent's ideology. Just like Bill Walton said, the Bulls will not lose to the Lakers in terms of hard power, but experience, especially in The experience in making psychological adjustments under disadvantage is too different from that of the Lakers.

Kobe and James were both veterans who had lost at least twice in the Finals. On the Bulls side, too many people were immediately confused when they encountered such a huge gap in strength.

What Sun Ce felt from many of the opponent's players was "Can we not lose tonight?" rather than "We must win tonight!".

But Sun Ce doesn't care what the Bulls players think. Just like the Lakers in 2001, will the Lakers players care about the feelings of the players they swept? Do you care whether those opponents will lose your love for basketball?

Sun Ce didn't care about that at all. If he had to say something to those opponents, he only had one sentence--Fuck your basketball dream!

As for the crazy boos from the fans at the scene, Sun Ce has long been used to it.

At 8 p.m., Game 3 of the Finals between the Grizzlies and Bulls started.

After the game started, the Grizzlies were passive from the scene. This was a situation that Sun Ce and others had expected before. Even if the opponent's mentality was about to collapse, they would still risk their lives when they returned to the home court. When they were at a disadvantage, Sun Ce and others have also experienced the role of the cheers of the home fans, so they were prepared from the beginning to be steady and not in a hurry, and to survive this stage.

However, tonight, June 6th... seems to be a predestined relationship with Buddha!

Sun Ce was ready to use Durant or James cards in the third quarter, but his teammates did not give him a chance. Klay Thompson broke out in the second half of the first quarter! Even his grandson also broke out!
