Seven Hundred and Ten. Our Decisive Battle!

At the official timeout of the third quarter, the Grizzlies led by 1 point 70 to 69! In the first half of the third quarter, there was a 16-10 wave!

Sun Ce never expected that the key to overtaking the score was his foul tonight!

Although he only made 3 of 5 free throws in the third quarter, it was mainly because Courtney Lee couldn't help knocking Sun Ce down when he fouled for the fourth time. Sun Ce missed both free throws, but beating Courtney Lee was The key to the Grizzlies' go-ahead score.

If a main player has a foul crisis, even a team with sufficient manpower like the Nuggets, their head coach will be a little panicked. Although they have three first-class perimeter defenders, Courtney Lee is the best!

Courtney Lee needs to be athletic, shoot and defend, and work hard without complaining. The other two are also very good, but they cannot meet the needs of a 3D player like Courtney Lee. All qualities.

After Ariza came up, the Grizzlies were already prepared. Ariza didn't play as well as he did in the second half of the first quarter, so the fact that the Grizzlies left him empty had an effect.

Sun Ce played 24 minutes, making 6 of 13 shots, 8 of 13 free throws, and scored 22 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks!

The dual point guards of Sun Ce + Conley played very well tonight!

Originally, Sun Ce wanted to continue fighting, and there were physical potions available, but after the official timeout, coach Hollins replaced him to rest and asked Jason Williams to go up in advance to hold on for a while, and with Tony Allen and Paul - The lineup of George, Randolph, and DeAndre Jordan was sent together.

Sun Ce didn't refuse. He just wanted to be a quiet team player today. It felt really good to play this kind of game tonight.

If I have to say it, this is a team vs team game!

But after the timeout, the Grizzlies didn't expect the Nuggets to also send out two point guards!

Lawson and Lowry are on it together!

Coupled with the frontcourt combination of Wilson Chandler, Gallinari, and Chris Anderson, the Nuggets' lineup looks much shorter.

Both insiders are 2.08 meters tall, Wilson Chandler is 3 centimeters shorter than Paul George, and the back line is 1.8 meters tall and the other 1.85 meters tall!

Due to Ariza's deficiencies on the offensive end, the Grizzlies took advantage of him; Afflalo's athletic ability is too average. He needs speed but no speed, but requires running and jumping ability. Without running and jumping ability, he relies solely on awareness and size to defend, and cannot deal with Sun Ce; Courtney Lee was again Sun Ce continued, and Courtney Lee's four fouls tonight were all caused by Sun Ce, so George Karl directly sent a dual point guard lineup, hoping to compete with the Grizzlies for two point guards.

George Karl never expected that the Grizzlies would replace the entire lineup of Sun Ce + Conley + Morrow + Shane Battier + Gasol before the official timeout, and they would actually play five up and five down!

Coach Hollins' coquettishness almost reached George Karl's waist!

Neither side expected the other's substitution strategy, and the situation began to become chaotic.

The second half of the third quarter was basically a gamble. The Nuggets' two point guards were difficult to guard. Tony Allen put a lot of restrictions on Lowry, who performed well in the first half, but Lawson played well and today Lawson was so desperate when he saw Sun Ce.

The Grizzlies mainly rely on Randolph's singles and Jordan's secondary offense to score.

The situation was so chaotic, but the head coaches of the two teams did not change the core lineup. Coach Hollins insisted on using Jason Williams, who had a few minutes of physical strength in each game, plus Randolph's singles as the core; George Karl's side, Insist on using two point guards with two forwards with singles ability, plus a serious inside man.

At this stage, the two teams sometimes looked like headless flies and sometimes played well.

In the first half of the fourth quarter, Coach Hollins only replaced the exhausted Jason Williams with Conley, and continued to maintain this lineup. Yi Jianlian and DeAndre Jordan alternated on the court, with Randolph as the core of the offense and the forward and defensive lines. Paul George, Tony Allen, Battier, and Moreau rotate.

The Nuggets remain unchanged, with two point guards playing all the time.

During this period, the score between the two teams was very anxious, but neither head coach was willing to make changes first.

Because they are still scoring! Chaos returned to chaos, both sides were scoring. Who knows if they would suddenly be unable to score points if they changed their style of play. There was a period of time in the second half of the first quarter when the Grizzlies encountered that situation. In the first half of the third quarter, the Nuggets I've encountered this before, and it depends on which side can endure it better!

Until the sixth minute of the fourth quarter, when the Grizzlies were 4 points behind 96 to 100, coach Hollins couldn't help but call a timeout and entered an official timeout.

Coach Hollins felt that his rotation method was unexpected enough, but the head coach on the opposite side acted like a madman! Not to mention the superstar, his style of play is so radical!

In the past few years, George Karl has constantly refreshed Coach Hollins' understanding of him. The two players were in the same era and are very familiar with each other, but Coach Hollins needs to replace a scoring superstar like Anthony with a group of roles. player, he couldn't do it and couldn't accept it, but George Karl played a decisive role in the deal that sent Anthony away.

Then the Nuggets' style of play... The Spurs have never given up on the troika. The Nuggets' style of play is too difficult for coach Hollins to understand.

He is not ready. If it is in the playoffs, Coach Hollins is confident that he can solve the Nuggets within five games!

However, that is all for later. Now, unexpectedly, they are encountering the Nuggets, who may be in their best form. The Grizzlies are once again at a disadvantage!

With 5 minutes and 51 seconds left, we were 4 points behind, which was still within an acceptable range.

Coach Hollins began to rotate and rested for a whole quarter. Sun Ce, who had recovered well, was replaced.

Conley was not replaced this time. He did a good job in guarding Lowry or letting Lawson go. He also had a lot of rest in the first half and was in good physical condition.

Sun Ce sat and rested for a whole quarter when the score was tight. He watched the team falling behind little by little and became anxious, but this time he kept his composure and did not insist on playing.

He knows that it's not that his teammates didn't play well, but that the opponent is really good!

He is the core of the team's perimeter. It is already outstanding that his teammates can perform like this when he is resting. After all, the team is missing its strongest perimeter point.

In almost one quarter of the game, they scored 26 points, and their offensive performance was okay. As for the opponent's 31 points, there was nothing they could do to prevent it.

Coach Hollins's five-up-five-down this time may not be so perfect, but the result is not bad. If replaced by coach Hollins who paid too much attention to details in the past and did not consider that the players are actually very good, he may be beaten by George in the third quarter. Carl is ruined!

Sometimes a bold rotation pays off!

And now that he's up there, his physical condition is superior! Sun Ce came to the sidelines to exercise, and the final battle was here!
