Five Hundred and seventeen.1 Overlord Pressed Rose!

At the end of the half, relying on Sun Ce's attack after blocking the shot, Randolph, who came on the rotation, grabbed two offensive rebounds and made a tip-in, even if Rose passed the ball to Bu before the end of the first half. Zell scored two points in a mid-range shot, and the Grizzlies did not let the Bulls open the point difference to more than 5 points.

41 to 45, the Grizzlies ended the first half trailing by 5 points.

Randolph is very stubborn. He has been playing hard this season. By averaging 4.5 offensive rebounds per game, he has managed to get his average rebounds back to nearly 9 rebounds per game. As his condition improves, it will not be a problem to return to averaging 10 rebounds per game. big.

Defensive rebounds are only a few four points a game. This is the reason for the reduction in playing time. After all, the weight has not dropped yet, but offensive rebounds are already first in the league. When the playing time returns to about 33-35 minutes, the defense The rebounds are back to 5-6, and the average of 10 rebounds per game is back!

Randolph believes in the old saying: I have no control over my destiny!

Back in the locker room, the coaching staff was not impatient. The players had played well, the rotation arrangements were also very good, and they had maintained a high-efficiency defense.

The scoring was not high... Neither team scored high. The Bulls scored more because the opponent almost rotated 7 people, and the core 7-man team played for a very long time.

Rose played the entire first half, Noah also played 20 minutes in the half, and Sun Ce, who played the longest in the first half for the Grizzlies, only played 17 minutes.

Although he really wants "balance" and wants to find a balance point between defense and offense, now, coach Hollins has to adopt the method of rotating multiple players to grind the defense.

You have to win the current game first, and take your time with the team's overall policy. Anyway, the regular season is still long.

Now there is a key question, which is Sun Ce's physical strength. Did Sun Ce explode the small universe today? Coach Hollins feels this is the most elusive.

I called Sun Ce over and asked, and Sun Ce gave a positive answer, there will be no problem tonight.

Sun Ce was thinking on his way back to the locker room after halftime. After beating the Mavericks and playing three more games, he had just finished charging the rechargeable version of the physical potion. In the third quarter, he would hold on for a while and take one shot of the physical potion. In the fourth quarter, the intensity of the confrontation was at its highest. He was regarded as the main defensive point and was able to maintain efficiency!

After receiving a positive answer, Coach Hollins felt that his confidence was greatly increased. Under the opponent's defensive strategy, Sun Ce's ball-holding point that can score independently is too important.

Moreover, if the opponent's defense against Sun Ce becomes tighter in the second half, it will be a good thing for them, as they can show off Sun Ce's passing ability!

…

The intermission is over,

Players from both teams return to the court.

The Grizzlies sent a combination of Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Paul George, Randolph, and DeAndre Jordan.

This posture is to carry the confrontation to the end.

For the Bulls, as expected, the four core players of Rose, Luol Deng, Noah, and Boozer continue to play, and Ronnie Brewer also continues to play.

The confrontation continued to escalate after the start of the second half!

In the first round, when Sun Ce followed the cut-in Ronnie Brewer to shrink the inside line, Ronnie Brewer received the ball from Rose and pushed Sun Ce for a layup, but Sun Ce slapped him down.

Not in agreement...four more blocks!

When the intensity increased, Sun Ce's sense of blocking shots became better and better. This is an improvement in his awareness of blocking shots.

The effect of Olajuwon's hand strap is that when trying to block a shot, the bullet speed, collision resistance, and bounce height are each increased by a small level. But being able to block people is due to Sun Ce's own awareness of blocking shots!

Sometimes some things are helpless. Coach Thibodeau also knows that replacing Korver can make the offense much smoother. However, Korver’s defense will not hold him back, but he cannot make too many positive contributions on the defensive end. The Bulls’ overall defense The intensity will definitely drop significantly.

The Bulls continued to attack, and Rose came on his own this time. With the help of Boozer's pick-and-roll, he broke through to attract the defense and passed back to Boozer in the high post...

Tony Allen faced Boozer, who was 13 centimeters taller and two times bigger than him, and was not afraid to get up against him physically. He was stunned to make Boozer, who couldn't jump, fall back and take a shot. It was ironic!

As soon as Sun Ce grabbed the rebound, he was flanked by Rose and Ronnie Brewer, unable to counterattack!

Sun Ce could only pass the ball... Randolph protected the ball and slowly advanced to the frontcourt before passing it to Sun Ce.

As a power forward, Randolph's basic dribbling skills are really solid. The basic skills of these older generation players are not comparable to most rough insiders who have entered the NBA in the past two years.

When the Grizzlies attacked, Sun Ce took advantage of Randolph's pick-and-roll after receiving a pass from Randolph, and broke through to the middle distance on the right. When Boozer came over to defend, Sun Ce grabbed the ball and moved his feet to the right side at the same time. Leaving the ground, taking a step forward, Nowitzki-style lateral jump shot...

"The level 1 trigger for singles jump shot with sideways movement of the face frame. The host's take-off will not be affected by the sideways movement during this sideways jump shot..."

This time the shot was very decisive, and Sun Ce hit a half-step jumper inside the right free throw line!

43 to 45, the point difference was narrowed to two points!

However, at 2-4 points, this hurdle will not be overcome by the Grizzlies for a long time.

Although the Bulls were not allowed to widen the point difference, they were unable to overtake.

The duel between Sun Ce and Ross entered a fierce battle.

These are two players with strong leadership abilities. Both teams have players with higher experience and other already famous stars. For example, the power forwards of both teams have been one of the top power forwards in the league in the past few years. , but this season, the two teams are obviously dominated by these two second- and third-year players.

They lead the team in different ways. Sun Ce focuses on the whole team to strengthen his own performance, while Rose uses his own performance to drive the whole team. They are fundamentally different, but they are both very suitable for their own teams!

However... dragging it steadily is the most beneficial situation for the Grizzlies!

The Bulls clearly had the advantage in the second quarter, but by the third quarter the Bulls were much lower than in the second quarter!

Even if the four cores are still playing, their performance has declined to varying degrees, so much so that the Grizzlies can compete with the Bulls' four core lineups with only Sun Ce + Randolph as the main attacker and Tony Allen as the lead defense. Evenly matched!

By the official timeout of the third quarter, the Grizzlies were only 1 point behind the Bulls, 56-57!

At this time, Conley, Gay, and Gasol were already warming up on the sidelines.

The Grizzlies use wheel warfare to deal with the Bulls' dead grass core tactics!

The Bulls called a timeout and entered the official timeout. The first thing Sun Ce did when he returned to the bench was not to listen to the tactical arrangements. Instead, he made a gesture to the team staff who had been waiting for three games and had not seen that screen. The staff was excited. Taking out clean jerseys, towels and other items from under the bench, his teammates surrounded Sun Ce.

Whenever he sees this scene, Coach Hollins wants to light a cigar.

Now Coach Hollins is no longer speechless, but is ready to harvest the game!

Changing jersey Sun is about to appear!

Although opponents don't believe that Sun Ce can go berserk by changing his jersey... In fact, his teammates don't believe that it's because of changing his jersey.

This is a sense of ritual. They feel that this is Sun Ce's explosive state and he is ready to "strength"! Please inform me in advance when changing jerseys.

It is so arrogant. If it is a strong championship team for many years, such as the Spurs and Lakers, it will not be affected psychologically, but for an emerging team like the Bulls, the sense of oppression is coming!

The feeling of the Grizzlies players is...their little bully is changing his jersey to show respect...

…

After the official timeout, the Grizzlies returned to the starting lineup, with Sun Ce, Conley, Gay, Randolph, and Gasol on the field!

There were no substitutions for the Bulls, and the lineup of Rose, Ronnie Brewer, Luol Deng, Boozer, and Noah was on the field.

This official timeout... became a turning point in the game. The crowd began to boo the Grizzlies crazily, but they couldn't stop Sun Ce!

Rose had just been beaten by Tony Allen in the first seven minutes of the third quarter. He had already played 31 minutes and scored 16 points, 12 assists, 4 rebounds and 3 steals. He usually has relaxation and rest time, and only three games in a game. Twelve or three minutes of high-efficiency performance. This time he has not rested since the beginning of the game. He has encountered the defensive battles of Gay, Paul George, Tony Allen, and Sun Ce. His style of play is already very consuming. My body has reached its limit now!

Not just him, but the entire Bulls team except Luol Deng and Noah, everyone else was very physically exhausted because the confrontation was higher than usual games!

On the other hand, on the Grizzlies side, apart from Randolph, who was a little tired and unwilling to move, he stayed on the left side of the three-second zone to grab offensive rebounds. The defensive end was stuck and couldn't do anything else; but Conley and Gasso Er and Gay rested from the end of the first half until this official timeout.

And Sun Ce... took a shot of stamina potion, and his stamina was restored to full value. The team attacked around him again. The Grizzlies went 15-4 in the second half of the third quarter!

After three quarters, the Grizzlies overtook the Bulls 71-61 and held a 10-point lead!

The Bulls collapsed in the third quarter!

If it is a team with a deep rotation, such as the Spurs and Mavericks, there will be no physical problems at this time. Sun Ce defeated them last time by relying on Howard's star experience card to disrupt the Mavericks' overall game plan.

If it's a blacksmith with a historical level of physical strength like the Lakers, just will be fine.

But for the Bulls, this is a team with a dead core. Rose, the strongest player, is not particularly physically strong. In the first two and a half quarters, the two teams were struggling defensively.

Sun Ce's strategy worked to its maximum effect!

5 minutes after the third quarter, Sun Ce scored 5 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. He played the entire third quarter and scored 8 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block. After three quarters, his data increased to 25 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks. !

It's almost three quarters of 4 times 5 again!

Sun Ce beat Rose with 17 points, 13 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals in three quarters!

The Grizzlies also established a victory advantage in the crucial third quarter!
