Six Hundred and Ninety-Nine. This Overlord Refuses to Play Garbage Time

"We believe that Amare has a fractured or broken metacarpal bone in the fourth quarter of his right hand. He needs to go to the hospital for an X-ray examination. We do not recommend continuing to play." Gina Callahan, the female team doctor and vice president of logistics of the Knicks, told D'Antoni.

"NO!" D'Antoni wailed, "Is there any other possibility?"

"Based on the location, degree and type of swelling in Amare's palm, based on my many years of diagnostic experience, in the best case, we may lose Amare for 4 to 6 weeks." The team doctor's tone was also heavy.

The best case...

D'Antoni's head was about to explode when he heard this.

Another person who was about to explode was Paul. It was not easy for him to have a superstar-level teammate for the first time. A superstar is not comparable to a group of role players. Otherwise, the Knicks would not have sent almost the entire team except Stoudemire to the Hornets to exchange Paul back.

"Is my life so bitter?" This is bad news for Paul!

They just played first in the Eastern Conference, and he just ranked first in the MVP rankings. The second best player in the team and the superstar who ranked first in the league's interior scoring this season will be injured for at least 4-6 weeks!

Paul knew that the initial diagnosis of most team doctors would not be much different from the final result.

Paul was lamenting his fate, but for the rest of the Knicks, most people were scared by Sun Ce!

Paul, Sean Williams, Anthony Carter, Turiaf and other veterans understood what the team doctor said.

It was obviously swollen. Experienced or more experienced players knew that this was not a recent fracture, but an inflammatory reaction after the fracture had been broken for a while and they were still moving around.

Although Kobe and Jordan had continued to play after breaking their fingers, they all wore finger guards to fix their fingers. When they shot with broken fingers, they used their wrists to drive the fixed fingers to exert force, which was very different from the usual way of exerting force.

In the case of Stoudemire, it was obvious that he was injured in the middle of the game, and he didn't say it, but insisted on playing.

In the minds of veteran players, Stoudemire was quite "tough".

But in the eyes of marginal players who didn't have so much experience, it was Sun Ce who broke Stoudemire's metacarpal bone! Most of the Knicks players were marginal players before this season! They were just lucky enough to meet one of the two characteristic head coaches who are good news for players: D'Antoni, who "has a good point guard and can bring a wave of marginal players back to work", and Popovich, who has already started to "bring employment to a second-round pick no matter what".

"Playing against someone who can dunk the backboard and shatter the metacarpal bone?"

Humans have excellent brain-filling abilities, and are more willing to believe the "facts" they want to believe.

With Stoudemire injured this time and the score difference being pulled to 6 points, the morale of most Knicks players plummeted!

...

On the other side, the Grizzlies bench.

Coach Hollins doesn't want to see any players get injured, whether it's the opponent or the players of his own team, otherwise it's difficult to maintain the bottom line of playing with Randolph and Tony Allen, the leaders on both offense and defense who came out of the "dark" team - not maliciously hurting people.

But it must be said that Stoudemire's sudden injury is definitely a good thing for the Grizzlies, who have already taken the initiative!

Coach Hollins was also shocked. Did Sun Ce block the opponent?

However, after the big screen gave a close-up of Stoudemire's hand, Coach Hollins, who has played basketball and been an assistant coach for so many years, could see that Sun Ce's block only made Stoudemire's fracture injury worse, and it had been broken long ago.

They didn't know exactly when the fracture occurred, but no matter what, the bottom line of the game is not to hurt others maliciously, not to attack others with language that violates the moral bottom line, and there is no other morality!

Jordan is on! Conley, who is young and has strong recovery ability, is on!

Coach Hollins sent out a lineup of Sun Ce, Conley, Morrow, Yi Jianlian, and Jordan. He wanted to compete with firepower! Moreover,

he went to the inside!

…

After the timeout, although the Knicks encountered a very tragic thing, the game should continue.

The Knicks sent out a lineup of Paul, Bill Walker, Fields, Novak, and Sean Williams.

One star shines!

D'Antoni had no other choice but to send out such a lineup.

When the Grizzlies players came on the court, Sun Ce did not get any cheers this time.

Sun Ce is in despair now. Why does everyone think that he broke Stoudemire's metacarpal bone? The key is that veterans like Randolph and Battier deliberately teased him. They clearly saw it but didn't explain it.

Sun Ce put away his sympathy for Stoudemire. Now it's a game!

The Knicks chose to serve the ball in the frontcourt. Paul received the ball and quickly sprinted to the three-point line. Paul George quickly defended.

Classic small vs big! Paul broke through to the right mid-range and made a quick stop jump shot!

Paul did not give up. Although he was criticized by fans and the media for many things, his fighting attitude on the court was beyond reproach.

However, just as Paul made the shot, Sun Ce, who took it back to the basket, quickly picked up the ball and passed it to Conley. Conley pushed forward at full speed!

Conley showed his ability to control the rhythm! He quickly advanced to the front court but did not pass the ball randomly. When the two towers rushed over, Sean Williams and Fields who retreated to the inside line were going crazy! Together with Novak and Bill Walker who retreated a step later, they stopped the two scary-looking Shamat.

At this time, Morrow ran to the 45-degree angle on the left. Conley grabbed the ball and looked at Morrow. Paul, who was defending in front of Conley, rushed towards Morrow.

But Conley just glanced at Morrow and lifted the ball to the right with one hand. Sun Ce, who followed up, took the ball from Conley and went straight into the inside line!

A smooth road! Sun Ce patted the ball, took three steps in one step inside the three-point line, jumped up from the dotted semicircle position inside the free throw line in two steps, and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!

It was Sun Ce who dunked this ball, but it was Conley and the two emperors who made the headlines!

Conley's eyes shook Paul away, and he held the ball with his left hand behind his back and his right hand. The commentator of the American cable TV station named this pass "Sir, please dunk".

In addition, the two emperors rushed up and scared the Knicks' four-man double team. It is not so easy to see when playing against other teams. No team has such a short inside line as the Knicks. Now there is a comparison. The two emperors are too buggy when they rush up!

When these two people reach their peak, they can be the starting inside combination of a strong team!

91 to 85, the Grizzlies are still leading by 6 points!

The tone was set in this way. The Grizzlies will focus on offense. If they can defend, they will defend. If they can't defend, they will forget it.

The opponent has only one superstar. They have Sun Ce on their side, coupled with four teammates who rush up like crazy, which is stronger than the opponent's one star and four shots! Much stronger!

The impact of Stoudemire's absence is huge. The Knicks originally relied on two superstars to drive a group of pitchers. Now there is only one left, and the containment power has dropped sharply!

Now the only advantage of the Knicks is Paul's singles point.

Paul was also tough. In the remaining minutes of the second half of the third quarter, he made two mid-range shots, a three-pointer and two free throws. Paul scored 9 points and 1 assist in more than three minutes. Including the two points in the first half, he scored 11 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, and the data increased to 20 points, 3 rebounds and 11 assists. At the end of the three quarters, the Knicks' total score increased to 94 points.

But the Grizzlies did not fall behind in the confrontation, but took the upper hand!

Sun Ce's assists did not move in these few minutes, still 10 assists, but the points and rebounds soared!

After three quarters, Sun Ce's data increased to 42 points, 13 rebounds, 10 assists and 4 blocks!

With the two emperors as the containment point, Sun Ce's cut-in was as easy as it could be.

After three quarters, the Grizzlies set a team record! 105 points in three quarters! Leading the Knicks by 11 points with 105 to 94!

In this quarter, the Grizzlies contained the Knicks' score to 23 points in a single quarter! In addition to Paul's 9 points in a row, only Novak scored a long two-pointer.

The Grizzlies scored 41 points in a single quarter!

41 to 23, the Grizzlies won by 18 points in a single quarter!

…

The Grizzlies won by 18 points in a single quarter, and it seemed that the game had been taken away, but based on Sun Ce's understanding of Paul, this guy might not give up.

Although they won by 18 points in a single quarter, they were 7 points behind in the first half and the lead was only 11 points, which was not so safe.

Sun Ce still remembered that in the original time and space, Paul's Clippers reversed their Grizzlies by more than 20 points...

During the intermission, Sun Ce returned to the bench and immediately walked towards Coach Hollins to stop the head coach's potential slutty operation!

Based on Sun Ce's understanding of Coach Hollins, this head coach who looks very stable but wild inside might make a slutty operation of five ups and five downs.

However, when Sun Ce just got to Coach Hollins, Coach Hollins said to him first: "Can we continue to play in the fourth quarter?"

"Uh... yes..." Sun Ce was a little confused...

It was different from what he thought!

Shouldn't it be that Coach Hollins wanted to mess around, and he, Sun, went to stop him and save the team from the dire situation that was about to be faced?

Coach Hollins really wanted to play five up and five down, but Sun Ce scored 42 points in three quarters!

With the Knicks' defense, Coach Hollins felt that it was not a big problem for Sun Ce to score 20 points in a single quarter. Didn't he score 24 points in the third quarter? He even hoped that the Knicks would play better in the fourth quarter and give Sun Ce a chance to refresh the team's scoring record!

Coach Hollins had this idea for many reasons. The first was that the opportunity was rare. It really takes the right time, the right place, and the right people to score 60 points.

The Knicks' defense was poor, which was the right time; playing in the holy land of basketball, the visiting players might be more excited than the home team, which was the right place; Sun Ce was in good shape today, changed his jersey, and wore a Panda headband, which was the right people!

It is so rare to have such a perfect combination of time, place and people. Some super scorers can win the scoring title, but they may not have the opportunity to score 60+ in their entire career. In the past three years, Wade, Durant, Anthony and James have scored so much. Durant, Wade and James have won the scoring title in the past three seasons. This season, Anthony and Durant are competing for the scoring title. As a result, only Kobe, who has withdrawn from the scoring title competition, has scored 60+ in a single game in the past few years.

The second reason is the selfishness of Coach Hollins, which is also related to the first reason. He hopes to improve all the team's records to a level that his successor will find difficult to surpass during his coaching of the Grizzlies.

The third point, and the most critical point, is to let Sun Ce feel the warmth of the team...

……

After the intermission, the Grizzlies sent out Sun Ce, Conley, Tony Allen, Paul George, and Battier.

The four towers of Gasol, Randolph, Jordan, and Yi Jianlian sat in the bench. They didn't exert much strength tonight, but they turned the game around against the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference!

As expected, the Knicks sent out Paul, Bill Walker, Fields, Novak, and Sean Williams. Except for Stoudemire, all their best players were sent out.

Paul was unwilling to give up!

This was shown in the 2009 playoffs. The team was 1-3 behind and 38 points behind in the third quarter of the fifth game. Paul was unwilling to give up, but he was beaten by 20 points in the final quarter.

Paul wanted to fight, but the mentality of the players on the Knicks team had collapsed!

This night was a nightmare for them!

And it was the kind of nightmare that was beautiful at the beginning, but suddenly hit a critical hit!

The Grizzlies are also ready to kill. From Conley to Battier, plus Sun Ce who performed extremely well on defense tonight, facing the running and gunning lineup led by Paul alone, the Grizzlies have an absolute advantage in both offense and defense!

When Stoudemire was out for the season, Nash was still able to win the MVP because he had another super power forward, Shawn Marion, and D'Antoni found a top-level supporting inside player who averaged 13+6+6 per game. If D'Antoni is given some time, he may be able to operate with his hands and find a more reliable inside player for Paul, but in the fourth quarter of the night when Stoudemire was injured... Even if D'Antoni made this dish 10,000 times, he couldn't do it without the ingredients!

Facing Tony Allen's single defense, and the double-teaming of Sun Ce and Paul George, the Grizzlies' five players can still rotate and switch defense at high speed... Paul's strong firepower of 9 points in the last three minutes of the third quarter was suppressed!

Although the lineup sent by Coach Hollins to partner with Sun Ce is five small, it is not for offense, but for defense!

Five small vs. five small!

There was a special agreement. Coach Hollins told the players who had more or less ball control ability behind Sun Ce's back to try to defend the opponent and give the ball to Sun Ce on the offensive end.

So, Sun Ce, who returned to the big center position, played low-post singles, counterattacked and cut in, received the ball and jumped... and had a great time!

In the ninth minute of the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies were already leading the Knicks by 19 points, 128 to 109!

In 9 minutes, the Grizzlies scored 23 to 15!

Paul has tried very hard, but he just can't lead this group of teammates! There is a huge difference between having Stoudemire and not having Stoudemire. He only scored 15 points in 9 minutes! 8 of them were scored by himself!

Look, Fields received the ball and missed the open three-pointer again, and Sun Ce easily grabbed the defensive rebound from Sean Williams' head.

Paul still didn't give up, actively confronting Conley, and Sun Ce slowly advanced to the frontcourt.

When the Grizzlies sent out a lineup without an inside player, they actually played a positional battle to suppress the tempo. The TV commentators and fans who could understand the tempo of the game felt very incredible.

No one thought that the Grizzlies would do this, and they actually used a small lineup to suppress the tempo.

And the Grizzlies really used this method that D'Antoni couldn't understand to complete the tempo suppression. There are many teams that want to curb D'Antoni's tempo, but even the Spurs in 2005 couldn't suppress it. The Grizzlies' five-man team actually did it!

The key to being able to do it is Sun Ce, who didn't pass the ball after advancing to the frontcourt and wanted to continue on his own!

Paul directly let go of Conley and came to double-team Sun Ce with Bill Walker.

Sun Ce was almost 60 points, and Paul didn't care about anything else, just wanted to stop Sun Ce from getting 60 points.

Sun Ce saw Paul rushing towards him and quickly accelerated to the right.

Pass the ball? Pass it! Shoot it yourself!

Paul's defensive awareness is beyond words. When Sun Ce broke through Fields, Paul ran to the inside. Fields at least gave Sun Ce some resistance. Sun Ce's speed was affected and he couldn't get rid of the defense. When he broke through to the right side of the free throw line, Paul had already rushed over!

Paul defended the three routes, and it might be a shabby way to defend the three routes. The name of the ball-top cannon was too loud. Fields interfered...

Sun Ce stopped suddenly, turned around and leaned against Fields before Paul rushed to the position. Then he slapped the ball with his right foot, stepped out with his left foot to the left and back, grabbed the ball, turned around, turned around and shot a fadeaway jump shot...

It's time to play!

When Sun Ce jumped, he was in a line with Fields, Paul and the basket!

Sun Ce's turn-around, turn-around, fadeaway jump shot hit!

Fields is like a gun stand, and Paul behind Fields is probably a gun turret...

Paul saw Sun Ce sticking to Fields with his back to him, thinking that Sun Ce was going to turn around and go to the middle, so he immediately stopped and retreated to block the middle and prevent Sun Ce from running hooks, but he didn't expect Sun Ce to turn around and step back to jump shot!

130 to 109, the Grizzlies opened the gap to more than 20 points for the first time in this game!

D'Antoni called a timeout!

Substitution, give up! There are 3 minutes left, 21 points behind, no hope at all!

Now even Paul has given up, he wants to call a timeout even if D'Antoni doesn't call one.

In 9 minutes and 16 seconds, Sun Ce scored 16 points, and he has scored 58 points with 24 of 35 shots!

If he keeps playing, he will really score 60+!

Seeing D'Antoni call a timeout, the fans at the scene began to boo.

Sun Ce's amazing one-on-two turnaround and back-to-back jump shot just now made the fans at the scene completely excited. Who cares about the Knicks at this time! Stoudemire's injury doesn't matter.

Sun Ce is expected to break Kobe's Madison Square Garden scoring record!

At this time, D'Antoni called a timeout. Isn't it to kill the record?

"Lord... Lord... Lord..."

The fans at the scene began to shout Sun Ce's nickname in the United States crazily.

Sun Ce's attention was a little distracted. When he made the ball just now and his personal score increased to 58 points, the system prompt came.

"Because the host scored 58 points in a single game, Chris Paul experienced another most painful defeat in the host's unique way. Special event: White Chocolate's wonderful fantasy has been completed. The new era of chocolate wants to become the strongest point guard! SS-level event: The prologue of the career duel with the strongest point guard is about to begin."

This event... Sun Ce almost forgot about it because it hadn't been triggered for a long time, and it was triggered at this time.

Seeing Sun Ce walk back to the sidelines and sit directly on the bench, Coach Hollins is now very melancholy. Should Sun Ce go up to score a few points?

In the past nine minutes, Sun Ce scored 16 points, 3 rebounds and 0 assists. It can be said that the opponent did not give up. Sun Ce went all out to respect.

But the opponent's water dispenser lineup has already stood on the sidelines and prepared to play. Paul has sat down. It is clear that he does not want Sun Ce to get 60+, so he did not persist to the end.

Sending Sun Ce up at this time... is really brushing points!

I still have to ask Sun Ce's thoughts. Coach Hollins came to Sun Ce. At this time, reporters had already surrounded the Grizzlies bench. The big screen of the stadium also enlarged the picture on their side. It was garbage time, and there was no possibility of "tactical exposure", and the probability of being punished was small.

The fans at the scene were shouting "Lord", they wanted to see 60+! This stadium has been around for more than 60 years, and only Kobe has scored 60+ here. Many people have not seen that scene with their own eyes. Now they have the opportunity to see it with their own eyes, of course they want to see it.

This was the voice of the crowd. Coach Hollins sat next to Sun Ce, patted Sun Ce on the shoulder and asked, "Noah, do you want 60+?"

After being patted, Sun Ce came back to his senses, and was a beat late to react to what Coach Hollins said. He hesitated for a moment, looked up at his 58 points, 16 rebounds, and 10 assists on the big screen, 60+ triple-double...

But, double S incident!

At this time, Sun Ce glanced at the microphone that had been extended behind the bench. Sun Ce thought of the guy who didn't have the original random target of the star experience card used tonight but wanted the most, the man who was one steal away from getting a quadruple-double in three quarters...

There are so many quadruple-double players, but when people mention quadruple-double players, the first thing they think of is not those who got it...

If you don't show off now, when will you!

Sun Ce stood up, and just when everyone thought he was going to play directly, Sun Ce waved to the staff for training clothes, turned his head and said to the microphone: "60+ seems to be fascinating, but I'm tired."
