One Thousand Eight Hundred and Ninety-One. It's Your Turn Now.

Mutombo and Camby can choose the peak star experience card. Sun Ce thought it would be difficult to use it, but he didn't expect to use it!

Fortunately this card was not used indiscriminately.

After completing the bonus, Sun Ce looked at the extremely serious shooting. He had already experienced it. He quickly based on the first half of the game, the opponent's adjustment of play style tonight based on the actual situation... and other details, thinking about what he should do. How to make adjustments to your playing style based on the current situation.

After thinking about it, Sun Ce wiped off his sweat, changed his jersey, returned to the locker room to discuss with coach Hollins, and told him the adjustments he wanted to make in the second half.

No reason was needed. Coach Hollins immediately thought about new rotations and strategies based on Sun Ce's decision to adjust.

The master and apprentice have been working together for many years and have a tacit understanding!

…

After the halftime break, when the Grizzlies players walked out of the tunnel, the fans at the scene were already cheering, even if only a few substitutes came out first.

They know that at this time, the strongest player in history will start to show off his power!

Because this season, most of their team's anxious games finally won, and this was due to Sun Ce's leadership!

Sure enough, at the beginning of the second half, Sun Ce first cut in to catch the ball for a layup and scored two points. Then he turned around and gave Adams a big block from the front, sending the ball directly out of bounds!

For the Thunder, they returned to the starting lineup in the second half.

On the Grizzlies side, it is the combination of Mo Williams, Carter, Klay Thompson, Randolph, and Sun Ce.

Since the Grizzlies' lineup has a lot of space, Sun Ce scored a goal at the beginning, but the Thunder also had a way to deal with it. The Grizzlies had a lot of space, but they were weak inside. They directly lobbed the ball to Adams to dunk Sun Ce, and then , and was directly criticized by Sun Ce.

As long as Adams has some independent offensive ability, even if Sun Ce uses Mutomboka, it will be difficult to directly block him with such a huge difference in size and weight, but Adams has no skills on the offensive end.

This block set off Sun Ce's defensive frenzy!

At this time, Thunder coach Donovan's stubbornness is no longer an advantage, but a disadvantage. What Donovan thinks is that once the Grizzlies play offense, he will use Kanter, and if they play defense, he will use Kanter. Adams.

The idea is good, but I don’t know how to adapt it!

From the perspective of the lineup, except for Durant, who is weaker than Sun Ce, the Thunder and the Grizzlies have their own wins and losses in other positions, and when Durant is physically strong, the gap with Sun Ce is not that big. The Thunder have the strength to defeat the Grizzlies. The team also defeated the Grizzlies once this season.

In this situation where the gap between the lineups is not big, if the players on one side are not too hot to stop, then the ability of the coaching staff and the adaptability of the core players are the key!

Sun Ce's "changes" and coach Hollins' "changes" both became the key to the Grizzlies' suppression of the opponent in the third quarter!

With Sun Ce's performance of 6 points, 7 rebounds, 4 blocks, 1 steal and 1 assist in a single quarter, the Grizzlies scored 25 to 17 in a single quarter, gaining the upper hand in the defensive battle!

After three quarters, the Grizzlies led the Thunder by 4 points, 72-68!

This beat the Thunder to the point where their mentality was about to explode.

The Grizzlies only do two things. Since no one can make a shot, they block the basket and stars. Role players like to shoot but don't.

On the other hand, the Grizzlies played a pass and cut. Sun Ce made an outside shot in the third quarter, without touching it... but the Thunder did not dare to let it go!

Compared with the Grizzlies, the biggest disadvantage between the Thunder and the Grizzlies is that the Grizzlies' stars open up space from the outside and role players cut in, while the Thunder, like most teams, have stars digging into the basket.

Role players provide relief outside.

When both feel good, there is not much difference between the two. Of course, the overall strength must be similar to make a comparison.

But when the touch is not good, the threat of stars is obviously greater than the threat of role players and pitchers. Even if he is as strong as Durant in strong shooting, he still needs the help of his teammates to contain him. He has never been the kind of player who can keep shooting in the long range. player, in fact, his career-high number of three-pointers in a single game so far is "only" 7, his career-high average of three-pointers per game is 2.6 per game this season, and his average number of three-pointers per game all year round is only a few. .

After three quarters, Sun Ce not only helped the team lead the lead, but his statistics also improved to 17 points, 19 rebounds, 8 assists, 8 blocks and 3 steals! There were also 3 fouls and 5 turnovers.

Judging from the number of fouls he has committed, his physical strength is not bad, plus his current data... If he doesn't give it a try now, when will he wait?

The break is almost over. On the Thunder team, watching Sun Ce go to the technical table to apply magnesium powder, Nick Collison, the leader of the locker room, began to mobilize the enthusiasm of his teammates. As a strong team, it is not time to give up yet. Only 4 points difference.

Just when the Thunder team was adjusting their mood and the starting players in the fourth quarter were getting ready to come on the court, Sun Ce turned to them and said, "Hey, this time, it's your turn!"

…

"Is it our turn?"

The Thunder players didn't realize what it meant at first, but they saw a fan holding up a temporary sign with "quadruple-double" on it, and next to it was the dark blob that had just been drawn... and they looked up. Turning off the big screen at the scene, sure enough, Sun Ce's statistics after three quarters were displayed. The Thunder players felt "fuck" in their hearts, and Nick Collison's enthusiasm that he had just mobilized was suddenly shattered...

Are they going to have four pairs?

It has to be said that it is easier to play better when you are focused. Sun Ce played so well in the third quarter and didn't break the Thunder because the Thunder also wanted to win and was very focused. In addition, they were confident and confident in their own strength.

But for the Thunder, from leading to falling behind, their confidence has reached a critical point. Seeing the unexpected data from Sun Ce, the balance in their hearts collapsed!

It's going to be the background!

There are still two assists and two blocks. How to stop this?

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Thunder players avoided Sun Ce on the offensive end. It is difficult to defend Sun Ce to get two assists, but the probability of not getting two blocks from Sun Ce is very high... Of course, it is relative to the usual Sun Ce.

For a defensive player like Mutombo, everyone knows that he can only block shots and grab rebounds. Why can he still play second in the historical block list? Because he is very good at intercepting when the opponent is avoiding him. In this respect, he is better than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Olajuwon!

Moreover, although Sun Ce's mobility was affected to a certain extent, it was still faster than Mutombo's fastest time!

Coupled with the effect of Olajuwon's wrist strap, he got two blocks in the 4th quarter at 3 minutes and 11 seconds and 6 minutes and 22 seconds!

There was no way, there was no way. Sun Ce's defense in the first half tonight was already very good. He got 12 rebounds, 4 blocks and 2 steals in the first half. In the second half, when most of the players on both sides were in poor physical condition, Sun Ce was not affected. In the second half, his defense under the basket became even more aggressive! He could block Ibaka alone! Although he couldn't handle Adams, Adams had no offensive skills, and Kanter was not reused...

The key is that the Thunder team avoided playing like this, but messed up their offense in the third quarter, which was not particularly bad.

Although they only scored 17 points in the third quarter, Durant and Dion Waiters played well offensively. If they could defend the Grizzlies in the fourth quarter, they still had a chance.

But they wasted their own opportunity!

Moreover, the offensive end was not good. After Sun Ce got the first block, the mentality of the Thunder players was a little exploded.

The basis for the Thunder players' mentality to explode was Sun Ce's data, and it was Sun Ce's assists that defeated the Thunder!

Sun Ce was not sure if he could get two assists by playing defense, so he used the "sewer passer" that he got last season when he got a triple-double against Westbrook, which he had not used so far. He passed the ball as soon as he received it, and the other Grizzlies received Sun Ce's pass and shot...

When both teams' outside shots were iron, the side that shot decisively was obviously more likely to score!

From the beginning of the fourth quarter to 8 minutes and 11 seconds in the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies scored 19 to 13, expanding their lead to 10 points!

It was the Thunder's turn to attack again. Dion Waiters rushed into the inside and forced a layup, but was blocked by Sun Ce. Just when Sun Ce grabbed the rebound, Dion Waiters reached out and really stole the ball, giving Sun Ce his fifth turnover of the game. At this time, Sun Ce wanted to counter-steal... and fouled!

Sun Ce, who had already received two fouls before this quarter, had five fouls before this. Sun Ce's foul action was too obvious. Even if it was at home and even if it was a playoff-level whistle, the referee still blew the whistle. Sun Ce received his sixth foul of the game and was sent off!

Seeing Sun Ce being sent off, the Thunder felt that the nightmare was finally over.

But what if the nightmare is over?

The confrontation has been played to this point. The Thunder team has only scored 30 points in the second half so far. Sun Ce is out. How easy is it to deal with the combination of Tony Allen, Klay Thompson, Paul George, JaMichael Green, and Gobert?

If they hadn't been so defensive at the beginning, and their touch hadn't been so badly worn out, with Durant, Dion Waiters, Westbrook, and Ibaka, they really wouldn't be afraid of the Grizzlies' defense.

The key is that their touch has been worn out!

Moreover, looking at Sun Ce's data, 20 points, 24 rebounds, 12 assists, 11 blocks, 5 steals, 6 fouls, and 5 turnovers... How could the Thunder players still have the mood to struggle?

So, in the last 3 minutes and 32 seconds, the Thunder watched Westbrook play Tony Allen alone...

In the end, relying on Sun Ce's super quadruple-double, the Grizzlies narrowly defeated the Thunder 99-94 and won 9 consecutive victories!

Hearing the final whistle, Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief. Westbrook actually scored 9 points in the end. When their Grizzlies players were exhausted, Westbrook, who played the whole game, was able to keep breaking through at the end, causing 3 fouls in three and a half minutes, not to mention 6 free throws, and also scored a three-pointer! This stamina is simply amazing!

Fortunately, Westbrook was the only one who scored on the Thunder team, and Paul George made a mid-range shot and a layup steadily, which prevented the Thunder team from turning the tables. Otherwise, Sun would have been miserable, losing with a quadruple-double...

But, winning is winning, looking at his own data of 7 times 5... I feel inexplicably depressed! There was no 5th turnover, he was careless and was intercepted by Dion Waiters. In a hurry, he stole the ball and got the 6th foul. Fortunately, they didn't let Westbrook play the pass, and Klay Thompson chased Durant closely. If Westbrook had a ball passed to Durant and Paul George missed a ball at the same time... I dare not imagine the result!

But winning is winning!

……

Being interviewed recently gave me a headache when seeing the media. After the final whistle sounded, Sun Ce lamented that it was all thanks to Paul George and the team's defense, and then ran away immediately. The reporters did not interview him.

But this does not prevent Sun Ce from making headlines. What he said at the technical table near the end of the third quarter intermission, although there were only Thunder players and technical table officials as well as some fans behind the technical table and behind the visiting team’s bench. No one else heard it, but the radio of the technical station transmitted Sun Ce’s words to the TV and online broadcast!

"It's your turn this time"

There is no doubt that this is Sun Ce's "four-double declaration". It is not difficult to get two assists in a single quarter, but it is not easy to ensure two blocks in a single quarter!

It's obvious that the opponent wants to get a quadruple-double with blocks. In most cases, the team will definitely hide and prevent Sun Ce from blocking shots, but Sun Ce did it!

Although Sun Ce only had 20 points in this game, and his average points per game "plummeted" by 0.2 points. The current average points per game has become 39.7 points, but everyone felt that Sun Ce did not perform well. This is a quadruple-double!

People are looking forward to when the quadruple-double in each of the previous five seasons will come. If not, many fans will feel regretful. Although the record of quadruple-doubles has long been held by Sun Ce, but every season in a row There are four pairs, which is not a record. The impact on people's senses is no less than four pairs many times!

People's expectations started in the middle of the season, but it has not come until the end of the season. Fans had no hope. The Grizzlies' opponents in the remaining 9 games are all playoff teams. The Pistons... ...After all, they are seventh in the Eastern Conference, and of these nine opponents, seven are championship contenders. The Lakers and Mavericks can barely count. No one dares to look down on these two teams in the playoffs.

Under this circumstance, fans believe that Sun Ce's five consecutive seasons of quadruple-doubles may be coming to an end.

Then, suddenly and unexpectedly, Sun Ce had a quadruple-double!

As for a pair of 20 and 5 times 5, it’s nothing, it’s just part of the four pairs!

Some experts said that even if Sun Ce did not average 40 points per game this season, this quadruple-double would be enough to make up for the regret of not averaging 40 points per game!

And some media listed Sun Ce's opponents with 4 double-doubles...all of them are strong teams! This is the scariest thing!

This means that Sun Ce never deliberately gets a quadruple-double when playing against a weak team, but always gets a quadruple-double when playing against a strong team.

Although sensible fans explain why Sun Ce failed to get a quadruple-double against a weak team, the reason for the explanation is very sufficient - if Sun Ce had the possibility of a quadruple-double against a weak team, the opponent would basically be defeated in the third quarter. No chance of a quadruple-double.

But who cares about a calm person’s explanation at this point?

The nickname "The Helpless Four-Double Lord Sun" became popular in the basketball world for a while...

…

…

"Am I destined to miss out on MVP?"

On the afternoon of March 24, the spring rain continued in Memphis, and the security guards at FedEx Arena once again skillfully delivered umbrellas to the away team stars who were walking to the farthest edge of the square outside the arena in the drizzle.

The fat security guard also felt strange. Why did these visiting team stars pick a rainy day to stand here? But I immediately realized that Memphis is a place with heavy humidity and rainy days, but why do these guys neither hold umbrellas nor wear raincoats? I remember James from the Heat wearing a raincoat every time.

Curry stared at the Grizzlies Arena for a long time, then turned around and walked away with an umbrella.

The security guard looked at Curry's leaving figure and called the internal phone number of the arena's logistics department: "Mr. Kyle, our security department needs to purchase a few more umbrellas. Yes, that's him. He took another umbrella from us and left. He will come again for the curtain call, and he will probably need it in the playoffs as well... If it is not used in the playoffs, it will definitely be used next year..."

Curry got on the taxi back to the hotel and saw that he had bought another umbrella from the Grizzlies. In the past few years, this was their 10th free umbrella.

Seeing the change from the long hotel-style umbrella to the now retractable umbrella, Curry always felt that something was wrong. He vaguely felt that this was a change made to "convenience him"... quickly put aside this strange idea. , he just took it accidentally, and didn’t mean to ask for the Grizzlies’ umbrella.

The quality of the umbrellas is quite good. As an NBA team, you can't prepare cheap umbrellas costing only three to five dollars. They are all custom-made and have the "Lord" mark on them. At first glance, it seems that the Grizzlies invested and licensed the logo from Sun Ce. The company purchased it, and Kuli thought it was so useful that he couldn’t bear to throw it away...

On the way back to the hotel, Curry felt very complicated as he looked at Sun Ce’s billboards that could be seen everywhere outside the car window.

Last night, the Warriors defeated the Timberwolves and won 9 consecutive victories. Their record became 67 wins and 7 losses. This record has already tied the record of the Grizzlies in the same games last season.

That is to say, the Warriors have a chance to tie the Grizzlies' record last season, and the method is very simple, just win the last 8 games.

But this is not a simple matter. Other teams are fine. Their last 8 games were easier than the Grizzlies.

Because no one expected the Warriors to play like this this season, and the league didn't expect that, except for the final game against the Grizzlies, tomorrow's game against the Grizzlies, and the penultimate game against the Lakers, the Warriors' opponents in the other five games were relatively weak, unlike the Grizzlies, who are already the top team in the league, the most popular basketball team in the world, and are the super favorites that were prepared when the schedule was drawn up to warm up for the playoffs at the end of the regular season.

"I don't believe that I'm destined not to get the MVP! I don't believe in fate! My fate is in my own hands... Wait, FXCK, this seems to be the Chinese that the bastard told me..."
