Seven Hundred and Fifty-Eight. Night of Hurricane!

It feels so good to bully the future mvp.

Now Sun Ce is better than Harden in all aspects, especially in terms of confrontation. Sun Ce's ability is originally better than Harden's. Sun Ce can still take advantage of all the favorable conditions, and most of the time he doesn't have to make gestures to call tactics, and The teammates have a tacit understanding of each other, but Harden is much worse than Sun Ce. There is already a strength gap. Taken together...

Harden led the team for more than 6 minutes, making 2 of 7 shots and scoring 4 points and 1 assist. Sun Ce made 2 of 2 shots and 3 of 4 free throws for more than 6 minutes, scoring 7 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

During this period, the Grizzlies went 15-8!

48 to 42, the Grizzlies led by 6 points in the first half of the second quarter.

Except for Harden's 4 points, the Thunder had no other points except Durant's tip-in and Muhammad's cut-in and catch, which resulted in a foul and two free throws.

After the Thunder traded Jeff Green, Harden officially became the team's sixth man, but in about 25 minutes of playing time, he only averaged a little more than two assists per game. This is not to say that he is not a good passer. , but when he comes up, it's usually when Durant is resting on the court.

As soon as Durant rested and was about to start participating in the offense, Thunder coach Brooks made a substitution, replacing Westbrook and Daequan Cook, the Thunder's top three-point shooter, and replaced Nate - Robinson and Harden.

Adjustments were also made on the inside, replacing Ibaka and Muhammad as partners.

Harden was so abused that he doubted his life. He walked off the court miserably and was scolded by the head coach. He led the team for half a quarter. The Thunder head coach did not provide a good lineup and Durant could only contain the defense when he rested. As soon as Sbrook came on the court, he arranged such a good lineup.

As an opponent, Sun Ce walked back to the bench and saw the players on the opposite bench standing up and taking off their training uniforms. They all felt the different treatment of Westbrook and Harden by the Thunder - one in the sky and one on the ground.

After three seconds of silence for Xiao Dengdeng, Sun Ce turned his attention to the game.

Sun Ce's shooting is completely explosive tonight. He currently has 25 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Even if you don't look at the half ball, the data of 25 points and 5 assists is quite good for a point guard. His shooting percentage of 10 out of 12 is simply amazing. Well, after Sun Ce scored two goals in the second quarter, the Thunder team subconsciously pounced on Sun Ce when they saw him making a shooting move. Sun Ce caused two shooting fouls. Sun Ce didn't finish the half. Today's number of free throws Already reached 6 times, 5 of 6 free throws.

Sun Ce couldn't help but feel sad. The last time he played against the Thunder, it was so difficult to shoot free throws with Durant, and he was almost beaten. But this time it was so easy.

Sun Ce returned to the bench, and coach Hollins asked: "How is your physical condition tonight?"

Sun Ce jumped up. Although he had played for more than 18 minutes, he still felt that he could still play, and he was not afraid that he would be too tired in the first half and not be able to play in the second half. He responded: "It doesn't matter to me."

Coach Hollins was pleasantly surprised. I really couldn’t tell whether Sun Ce broke out today because he was playing too smoothly. It was just an explosion in his hand.

Originally, the Grizzlies had a strength advantage against the Thunder. They did a good job in defending against the Thunder and in their own offense. However, the two teams scored too high in the first quarter. If not for Sun Ce's 18 points in a single quarter, he would have been in excellent condition today. With Westbrook and Durant, the Grizzlies might have fallen behind by a big score. Fortunately, Sun Ce had a blast.

Fortunately, in the first half of the second quarter, Sun Ce continued the feeling of the first quarter, and the opponent's rotation was fascinating. The rotation lineup was obviously weakened, but he still refused to give Harden a better teammate. The Grizzlies took the opportunity to The Thunder's scoring slowed down, allowing the Thunder to only score 8 points in half a quarter.

But with Sun Ce's steady style of play, coach Hollins couldn't tell whether Sun Ce had exploded.

Now it seems... yes.

Coach Hollins sent Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Paul George, Randolph, and Gasol to prepare to work hard to maintain this advantage.

…

Back from timeout, Thunder team,

Durant and Westbrook started to work hard.

For the Grizzlies, Sun Ce and Randolph went all out to confront the opposing outside stars.

The main players of the two teams are on the field. The key is the effect of single defense. Neither team dares to double-team easily and does not want the opponent's role players to get easy shooting opportunities.

With the help of his teammates and his own good touch, Sun Ce took advantage of the fact that the opponent did not dare to attack easily in the second half of the second quarter. Continuing his previous performance, Randolph met Ibaka and Muhammad in the three-second zone. Germany did not insist on singles, but focused on grabbing offensive rebounds. With Gasol in the center supporting him, they cooperated tacitly.

It's easy for the Thunder, Westbrook and Durant take turns throwing!

Westbrook gave up on getting a triple-double tonight. Sun Ce's side was already 25+6+5 before halftime. How could they compete? Sun Ce would definitely not be able to grab rebounds in a head-to-head confrontation. Westbrook chose to work hard and shoot more. Want to catch up with Sun Ce in terms of scoring and assists.

The third brother is easy to bully. After the eldest brother and second brother came up, Sun Ce was under a lot of pressure. Fortunately, they had a 4-point lead. The Grizzlies had a great advantage in their hearts, and Sun Ce and Randolph performed well, and the Thunder The twin stars once again clashed.

In the second half of the second quarter, Durant scored 9 points, and Westbrook also had 6 points and 3 assists. Two of the assists were given to Durant. Durant made two consecutive long two-point catches, and Paul George also had 6 points and 3 assists. Cried by the shot, coupled with Sefolosha's catch and layup, the Thunder scored 16 points in more than 5 minutes.

This touch is really unstoppable.

Fortunately, it was the Grizzlies. Sun Ce scored 15 points in the second quarter again!

Sun Ce scored 8 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist in the second half, plus Randolph's own rebounds and occasional singles and passes to get 6 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. The Grizzlies not only did not fall behind in the second half of the second quarter, but also relied on the hardworking Paul George to hit a three-pointer after receiving a pass from Randolph, scoring 17 points in the first half!

At the end of the half, the Grizzlies led the Thunder by 7 points 65 to 58!

…

At halftime, Thunder head coach Brooks was very crazy.

Durant played the whole half and scored 23 points, Westbrook also scored 23 points in the first half, and the two stars scored 46 points together.

Moreover, the physical condition was well distributed tonight. Brooks consciously distributed Durant's physical condition in the tactical arrangement. In the first half of the second quarter, he only let Durant block Sun Ce's breakthrough to the basket, reducing Durant's physical consumption in the first half of the second quarter. Ibaka and Perkins were also used more reasonably. In terms of physical strength, they were much better in this game than the last time they played against the Grizzlies. Even the impact of back-to-back games on them only appeared on Perkins.

And so far tonight, Durant has made 9 of 15 shots and Westbrook has made 8 of 16. Both of them have very high hit rates, but they are actually 7 points behind at halftime.

The sophomore on the opposite side just shot and shot, 13 of 16 in the first half, 7 of 10 free throws, and scored 33 points!

Obviously, the performance was better than expected, but the game situation was exactly the same as the worst possible imagined before the game.

The main lineup did not have an advantage in the stage, and was abused in the rotation stage. This is the situation that Brooks least wants to see.

Tonight is the fourth time that the Thunder and the Grizzlies have played against each other this season. In the first three games, the Thunder had 1 win and 2 losses. The only win was when Durant showed his strength in the first quarter and widened the gap to 11 points. At that time, the Grizzlies' starting lineup did not have players who could keep up with Durant's explosion. Randolph was in a state of good and bad at that time, and Sun Ce did not explode.

But the two losses, the first game was at the beginning of the season, when the Grizzlies were in amazing shape and easily defeated the Thunder in the 11-game winning streak at the beginning.

The last game was before the All-Star Weekend. Randolph recovered after the mid-season. When Durant was surging in the first three quarters, Randolph and Morrow competed with Randolph, and Sun Ce scored 10 points in the fourth quarter to take the game away.

The Thunder lost two games because the main lineup failed to play to their advantage. Brooks encountered this situation again tonight, and he failed to take advantage despite the explosion of the Dewey double star. Sun Ce scored 33 points in the first half, and Randolph scored 16 points in the first half. The two of them added up to almost 50 points!

Brooks can only hope that Sun Ce's shooting performance will decline in the second half.

The reason for giving him this hope is that Sun Ce missed three shots in the last attack of the first half. If it weren't for Sefrosa knocking Sun Ce down after Sun Ce threw the ball, Sun Ce's shot would have been a three-shot miss, but Sefrosa fouled and turned this shot into two free throws.

And Sun Ce missed both free throws!

It's not just Brooks who has this expectation. Durant expects Sun Ce's physical strength to collapse.

Durant is not the MVP player yet. He has reached the level of a top player, but he has played in a bad team for too many years and has not even made the playoffs. In addition, his mentality is not strong enough. When he encounters an opponent who explodes, he does not think about hard steel, but expects the opponent to be exhausted and unable to play.

In contrast, Westbrook is different. He is more tough.

…

On the Grizzlies side, Sun Ce exploded in the first half, which brought great confidence to his teammates and coaching staff.

Sun Ce's touch tonight was too good, so good that it was against the sky!

In the first half, Sun Ce hit 6 shots from the right side of the three-second zone, 6 of 7 shots, 3 of 4 hook shots from the baseline, 1 of 2 hook shots from the free throw line, and 3 shots to the basket!

7 of 10 free throws were average, barely passing, better than James, Wade and the future Lakers team's free throws, mainly because the last two free throws were missed, and the feeling of the previous free throws was also better than the usual hit rate of about 75%.

Although the teammates were worried that Sun Ce had played too hard in the first half, after all, he played the entire first half, they were shocked when they saw Sun Ce return to the locker room and run to the bathroom with the clean jersey handed over by the caddy! Randolph felt that the pressure of tonight's game was much less.

Then he saw Conley and Jason Williams taking towels to the bathroom... Conley would sit in the bathroom for 10 minutes every halftime, and he would usually play better and more organized in the second half.

The teammates were a little curious, what magic did the bathroom have?

On Sun Ce's side, after wiping off the sweat and changing into a clean jersey, he suddenly thought of something. He saw a system prompt during the game, but because the game was very tense, he did not go to see it.

With a thought, he opened the system screen...

"Congratulations to the host for raising the mid-range shooting rating on the right side of the three-second zone to a-level."

"Due to the improvement of the host's mid-range shooting ability, the overall mid-range shooting rating has been raised to b-level."

"The host's overall shooting rating has been significantly improved. Congratulations to the host for raising the overall shooting rating to b-level."

Finally improved!

After practicing for a long time, Sun Ce's overall three-point rating has reached d-level. Although there are few opportunities to display it in the game and he is not so brave to shoot, at least he has seen progress.

But the improvement of mid-range shooting has been stagnant for a long time. After the hook shot at the right baseline was improved to the a level of the first-class middle level, there was no movement. After the free throw line hook reached the a- level of the first-class edge, there was no movement. After the right mid-range shooting reached the b+ level of the good top level, it also stopped.

I didn’t expect that the recent wave of shooting would improve so quietly!

Sun Ce finally experienced the way the Thunder team cultivated Durant. He has talent, training and hard work. It just happens that the team is a bad team that wants to play badly to win the draft pick, so they keep throwing to Durant.

Players need to be cultivated, and different players need different ways of cultivation. But the players at the level of god shooters, even Curry, are still throwing a lot now, so that they can have the future No. 1 three-point shooter in history. The current Curry is just the three-point shooting level of Ray Allen with good physical strength, and he doesn’t have the excellent running ability of Ray Allen.

God shooters are made by irons.

Sun Ce also has a lot of shooting opportunities, but the Grizzlies are generally a strong team, and this season they are a strong team that will compete for the regular season championship, so he can't mess around.

Moreover, Durant is still a rookie, with better basic skills than Sun Ce, and obviously better shooting talent. His shooting progress must be faster than Sun Ce's. Sun Ce needs to practice shooting from the most basic aspects.

And... even so, Sun Ce's progress has already made people feel very exaggerated and incredible.

Sun Ce looked at his latest ability evaluation.

"Ability rating B+,

Physical fitness A-: speed S-, strength B, endurance A-, jumping C+, leg explosive power A, explosive impact B...

Shooting rating B: three-pointer D-, mid-range shot B, layup A+...

Technical rating A-: ball control A+, passing A, pick-and-roll jump shot B-, dribble-and-shoot A-, stop-and-jump shot C-, low-post back-to-the-basket technique B+, high-post back-to-the-basket technique B+..."

Getting closer and closer to the A- level on the edge of a first-class star!

Sun Ce feels that today is a good day. He won the best player of the month, is expected to impact the MVP, has a good feel, and his ability rating has also improved!

With a thought, the system prompt came.

"Host uses physical potion, and physical strength is restored to the initial stage of the game. Please drink a lot of functional drinks to replenish electrolytes... physical potion..."
