Eight Hundred and Seventy. Grizzlies Version of the Splash Brothers, Part 1!
Don't look forward to the Grizzlies' games with too dreamy thoughts. They will always give you a knife and make you vomit blood.
The offensive battle was in full swing. Our side had just taken some initiative, but after a timeout, the style of the game suddenly changed!
This rhythm changes too fast. The Grizzlies usually change their play style in the fourth quarter. This is known to other teams, so they will work hard to gain the lead in the first three quarters.
But this time the Grizzlies started to do this in the second quarter.
On the offensive end, Randolph scored smoothly alone. Gasol's shooting, Sun Ce's high singles or breakthrough layups all became worse and worse because of the confrontation.
Tony Allen defends Westbrook and Battier defends Durant. Regardless of anything else, it doesn't matter whether the opponent scores or not. It doesn't matter if the opponent is constantly fighting or committing fouls. Battier can only play 20 or so games in a game. Minutes of good ball, Tony Allen only has 24 or 25 minutes of good performance time, so the two of them just have to work hard.
Sun Ce was chasing Meno, who came on as a substitute, but after enough confrontation, Sun Ce began to shrink or attack from a flank.
Originally, the Thunder were still thinking about pressing the rhythm, but now they want the Grizzlies to play fast break.
Indeed, they took the lead back at this stage, but after scoring 11 points in the first 4 minutes, they only scored 11 points in the next 8 minutes!
After halftime, the Thunder led the Grizzlies by two points 53-51 entering the third quarter.
…
The Thunder team is well prepared. The third quarter is very important. Durant is once again entrusted with an important task. He will not be able to run without playing forty-five or six minutes today.
Harden and Westbrook were also ordered to play the full second half, but Ibaka...his physical strength really couldn't hold on.
The scary thing about Ibaka's defense is his high efficiency. In the past two games, he blocked 5 shots in two games, but his playing time was only 31 and 33 minutes respectively. His efficiency is incredible!
It's impossible to keep it up forever. Like today's encounter with Randolph, there was only one block after halftime. The number of blocks was not as good as Randolph's. It was Sun Ce who cut in to catch the ball and layup in the second half of the second quarter. He was blocked. .
Thunder coach Brooks feels a lot of pressure, but he can just throw the pressure on the third young master. He has no other solution.
…
"Using the 2011 rookie card."
"The host uses the peak star experience card of a random player from the 2011 All-Star Rookie Game and is randomly selected..."
Nash was telling his teammates who were about to play with him and Sun Ce about the style of play he came up with after analyzing the actual situation of the game. In terms of overall situation construction, Nash was not as good as these coaches.
But when it comes to running and gunning, D'Antoni may not be as good as him now. A seemingly simple running and gunning game can work wonders for him.
Sun Ce, on the other hand, was listening and silently thinking about using the star experience card.
A few seconds passed. Sun Ce was extremely tired during the last eight minutes of the first half. After resting for a while, his brain was a little dizzy due to strenuous exercise and suddenly disappeared. He knew that it was over randomly.
Sun Ce didn't dare to look at the names and the dynamic pictures of the 18 players participating in the 2011 All-Star Rookie Game that had been flashing in front of him for a long time, but he had to look at it. He couldn't distract himself even if he wanted to, and he didn't want to pay attention to anything. In fact, I pay more attention to it.
After several seconds of rotation, the scene that was fixed in front of Sun Ce made him so excited that he almost screamed. He grabbed the clean jersey next to him and rushed to the bathroom...
Nash was talking about tactics when Sun Ce suddenly ran away and he was confused.
Sun Ce, who ran to the bathroom, looked at the dynamic picture of his broken elementary school student brother in front of him, and "watched" the future playing style of the elementary school student brother that appeared in his mind. The temporarily acquired muscle memory coupled with the "seeing" playing style, Sun Ce had a feeling The feeling that I can do that.
That feeling made him eager to try!
"Congratulations to the host for using Stephen Curry's 2015-2016 version of the star experience card, ability evaluation s, offense s, defense b-, three-point ss,

"Splash Moment Level 4: When the teammate playing with the host is named Klay Thompson, whenever Klay Thompson makes a three-pointer, the host will enter a hot state for the next four three-point shots, and Significantly reduces the impact of shooting due to confrontation and running.”
"He is a man of wild shots: opportunities in the eyes of others are opportunities, and no opportunities in the eyes of others are still opportunities, and his confidence will not be affected by whether he makes or misses a shot. Special function: He is absolutely confident in shooting when he has the ball."
Looking at the n prompts that were refreshed continuously for more than ten seconds, Sun Ce was stunned for a few seconds, and couldn't help but howled in the toilet...
...
A sound that was not sure whether it was excitement or screaming came from the toilet, which scared Nash even more.
"What's wrong with Noah? Did he have diarrhea? Why is he screaming in the toilet?" This was the first time Nash encountered such a situation.
"No, it doesn't matter, don't worry about him, Steve, just continue to talk about tactics." Coach Hollins signaled Nash not to care.
He didn't explain it either, and he got used to it after a long time.
Nash was confused, and there were too many magical things about his new club.
Fortunately, Sun Ce cooperated well with him, and he had told Sun Ce what he wanted to tell him from the beginning. Although he was confused, he continued to emphasize some small details to Neil, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, and Jordan who were going to take turns to run on the court next.
Two minutes later, Sun Ce came out of the bathroom, his jersey changed. Nash had just finished emphasizing the last thing he wanted to emphasize, so he took a hot towel and wiped Sun Ce's sweat.
He made Sun Ce look similar to the one at the beginning of the game, and then helped Sun Ce put on the headband, and everything was ready.
Nash was even more dizzy watching the operation of the double emperor combination, but Coach Hollins felt much more at ease when he saw Sun Ce's radiant appearance.
The Thunder team was under great pressure, and Coach Hollins was under even greater pressure!
Starting such a defense early, in the second half, you have to bet on offense!
However, high pressure does not mean you dare not do it. Coach Hollins is very generous and has already planned it. How can you not do it?
Looking at Sun Ce who changed his jersey, looking at Nash who rested for most of the half and rested for 20 minutes at halftime... Who doesn't want to play a beautiful offense?
Keep going!
……
……
The combination of Sun Ce, Nash, Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Yi Jianlian came to the court.
The fans at the scene thought that they would enjoy the fierce hand-to-hand combat from the first four minutes of the second quarter until the end of the game, and they had adjusted their mentality.
Is the game good or not? Is it important? Winning is the most important thing! The fans have been able to accept this fact, but sometimes they still want to curse when they want to.
Then they saw the running and gunning lineup again...
Don't play like this!
The fans are ready to cheer wildly for the fierce confrontation and cheer for their own team...
On the Thunder side, seeing Sun Ce's energetic appearance, the three young players who came on the court took a deep breath and were mentally prepared. This guy may change his jersey at any time to show off and then explode by the way, turning the pretense into awesomeness.
But the three young players are more confident than last season. Harden's progress is visible, Westbrook is closer to the top players, and Durant is a superstar.
Even if it is Sun Ce who exploded like last season, the three of them each looked at their two teammates and were not afraid.
Sun Ce didn't care about others. He wanted the headband on his head to turn green, just like his elementary school brother.
He didn't expect that Curry himself gave away the headband he didn't want, which actually increased the matching degree!
He didn't expect that he would randomly get the peak Curry!
In the 15-16 season, Curry may not be the one with the strongest scoring ability, nor the best passer. Maybe he is not the best player, but the three-pointer alone is the most unsolvable and most desperate for the opponent that Sun Ce has ever seen.
The halftime break was over, and the referee signaled the Grizzlies to attack first. They came to the baseline and sent the ball to Klay Thompson, who sent it to Nash, and Nash pushed forward.
In addition to the three young players on the outside, the Thunder only sent one inside player, Muhammad, and the other player was Daequan Cook, a pitcher.
Sun Ce saw Nash advancing and immediately took Durant to the baseline. Yi Jianlian helped Sun Ce block Durant. When Sun Ce ran out from the right side of the three-second zone, it was Muhammad who caught up with Sun Ce. Nash immediately passed the ball and waited for Sun Ce to make a mid-range shot with a lateral step to assist him.
However, after receiving the ball, Sun Ce did not play a lateral step to get rid of Muhammad and then make a mid-range shot. Instead, he dribbled to the right corner and turned 180 degrees to throw a three-pointer!
The shot was very fast, and it seemed to have been thrown out at the moment of turning around, and then hit the neck of the basket.
This confident shot made Nash tremble!
Fortunately, Yi Jianlian was prepared and beat Durant to grab the offensive rebound.
At this time, Muhammad had already withdrawn, and Sun Ce was far away from the mid-range. Muhammad immediately returned to the basket. Although he failed to stop Yi Jianlian from grabbing the offensive rebound, he stopped Yi Jianlian's second attack.
Yi Jianlian raised the ball, found Sun Ce, and immediately passed it to the bottom corner.
Nash was already asking Sun Ce for the ball at the top of the arc. He thought Sun Ce wasted the ball and would pass it to him... Bullshit! Nash cursed. He saw Sun Ce receiving the ball and pulling up again, and then he pushed the ball out...
Just when Nash felt desperate, the ball fell into the blue basket, and it didn't even touch the frame. It was so smooth that the basket just swayed in the direction of the ball falling.
Hollow shot!
Sun Ce received the ball in the right corner and made a three-pointer!
Nash wiped his eyes and looked at the shaking net. Nash was not sure whether he made the shot or just touched the net.
Sun Ce ran out and stopped when he passed Nash: "Steve, wait until I'm almost outside the three-point line before passing the ball. You've caused my hit rate to drop."
This was said loudly, deliberately loudly so that the opponent could hear it.
Nash looked at Sun Ce who ran back to the backcourt... What was going on?
It's not like he had never seen Sun Ce explode, but not like this! It should be like Stoudemire!
Klay Thompson, the newcomer, was also shocked. He felt incredible like Nash, but seeing that Paul George and Yi Jianlian didn't feel strange, he could only suppress the question marks that kept popping up in his heart and ran back quickly.
Whether you can defend against the other three young players is one thing. It's always good to try hard to defend. If you don't defend well, they will shoot like they were training, relaxed and comfortable. If you can't defend hard, at least they will make the opponent look for a good shooting opportunity, at least more consumption.
And there is definitely consumption, and it's not physical consumption at the beginning, but psychological consumption.
Sun Ce's three-pointer didn't affect the Thunder. Sun Ce's three-pointer was still very impressive, but most of the time, he made three-pointers by chance.
The reason why they were exhausted was that they were ready to fight with the Grizzlies, and they were ready to fight, but they couldn't. The three young players relied on scoring.
As a result, the opponent started to run and gun again.
Westbrook suppressed his dissatisfaction. He scored 13 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists in the first half. His performance was already very good. He couldn't beat the guy on the opposite side. If he was in Sun Ce's environment, regardless of his defensive performance, he would definitely do better than Sun Ce in offense and rebounding, provided that his teammates obeyed him.
Facing Sun Ce's defense, Westbrook's breakthrough was still very easy. When he got to the inside, he hit the rebound and made a layup against Yi Jianlian.
55 to 54, the Thunder still maintained a 1-point lead.
Durant scored 24 points in the first half, Westbrook now has 15 points, Harden and Ibaka each have 5 points, the four youngsters have already scored 49 points, and the Thunder team has 55 points...
Although the opponent's role players did not play well, it shows how terrifying the Thunder's four youngsters who could make it to the finals in the original time and space are!
If it weren't for Sun Ce's help defense and the whole team to limit the performance of the opponent's role players, they would really not be the opponent.
And if they continue to waste time like this, the Grizzlies may not be in an advantage, Westbrook is too fierce.
But Sun Ce is not afraid at all now, just shoot.
The Thunder team's lineup retreated quickly, and after Westbrook made a shot, the Grizzlies quickly served the ball but did not make an offense-defense transition, and Nash quickly advanced to the frontcourt.
Sun Ce saw Nash coming and immediately cut into the inside line, slipped the baseline and continued to run to the right bottom corner.
Seeing Sun Ce leave the mid-range, Muhammad still did not run out with Sun Ce, but retreated to stop Yi Jianlian from grabbing the offensive rebound. He was a step slower just now, and this time he retreated more decisively.
With Sun Ce's three-point threat, it is too easy to catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer, because Durant is fast enough. If Sun Ce runs back to the mid-range, Durant can take advantage of the time difference between Sun Ce running out of the three-point line and running back. Durant can completely catch up after going around the pick-and-roll.
Nash looked at Sun Ce's running position and saw that Sun Ce was about to go out of the three-point line. He hesitated for a second and passed it.
At this time, Durant had come to the mid-range on the right baseline, but did not press forward, fearing that Sun Ce would take the opportunity to break through.
Sun Ce ran to the right corner and turned around and just received the ball that Nash passed a beat slower. Although it was a beat slower, he couldn't catch the ball and turn around to shoot, but Nash passed it so comfortably!
Sun Ce received the ball and raised it up and jumped!
Sun Ce had already jumped up, and Durant rushed over to interfere.
But Durant personally felt how fast Sun Ce shot this time. Normally, even if he jumped on it and could not interfere, it would look like he jumped on it.
But this time, while he was still jumping on it, Sun Ce had already thrown the ball out!
Durant concluded that it took only half a second from receiving the ball to shooting!
Moreover, Durant did not hear the sound of hitting the rim. When he turned around, he saw that the basket was floating again.
And he looked back and saw the referee's gesture at the baseline observing the position of Sun Ce's feet. The three-pointer was valid!
After Sun Ce scored, he pointed his right index finger to the sky and drew a circle and ran back to the backcourt.
The first time was shocking, and the second time was "suddenly enlightened".
Klay Thompson was okay, because Sun Ce was a VP, and everything he did was right. Look, he scored.
But Nash knew Sun Ce's true strength, or it can be said that Sun Ce is recognized as a system player, but he is also recognized as the "strongest system player".
"So that's what Sean meant! Did the Grizzlies solve difficult games this way before?"
Nash suddenly realized and wanted to curse. He finally understood what the rumored "habitual explosion" characteristic of Sun Ce meant.
This assist is so cool!
Why didn't I encounter such a good thing before?
For the opponent, the first one was confusing and the second one was happy. For the opponent, the first one was "this guy is lucky", and when the second one was scored, the opponent's mood became: "Fuck, he's here again!"
The Thunder players are very sensitive to Sun Ce's explosion. This guy explodes whenever he plays against them. Either he is in good condition or he explodes thoroughly.
This will make them more vigilant in the next defense, but at the moment, Westbrook made a slightly panicked throw over the bridge!
Paul George took the defensive rebound and immediately passed it to Nash. Sun Ce rushed out immediately when he saw Paul George had a great chance to grab the rebound. Paul George almost never had offensive rebounds, but he was trustworthy in defensive rebounds, but he didn't have many opportunities at ordinary times.
Nash received the ball and dribbled two steps. He saw Harden and Durant retreating. Klay Thompson and Sun Ce were on the left and right. Yi Jianlian rushed out of the three-point line one step ahead of Nash in the middle and immediately passed it to Sun Ce, expecting Sun Ce to play a beautiful 3-on-2. With such a great opportunity, Nash felt that the ball was there.
If this ball went in, there would be at least a 4-point difference! They began to have an advantage.
However, Sun Ce received the ball at the midline and reached the 45-degree angle on the right side of the opposite three-point line. He just pulled it up and threw it! Quick and decisive!
And after throwing the ball out, Sun Ce turned around and ran back, as if the ball was a hot potato and he had to return to defense quickly.
This ball, not only Nash, but also old teammates who are familiar with Sun Ce started to criticize. The opposing players were going crazy. What was going on? The fans at the scene immediately cursed out their catchphrases.
However, with Sun Ce's figure retreating directly after throwing the ball, the ball thrown by Sun Ce went straight into the basket.
"..."
The scene was silent for two seconds, followed by the crazy cheers of the fans at the scene!
Got it!
Sun Ce scored 3 three-pointers in a row!
60 to 55, the Grizzlies played a wave of 9 to 2 in the third quarter and overtook by 5 points!
