Eight Hundred and Seventy-Two. No, I Want to Clock Out!
The scene started to get agitated when Sun Ce scored three three-pointers in a row. After Sun Ce scored five three-pointers in a row, the scene went crazy. When Sun Ce scored 20 points in a single quarter, 26 points in a single quarter... 32 points in a single quarter... the last three-pointer hit, it increased to 35 points in a single quarter, breaking the historical record of 33 points in a single quarter set by Anthony and George Gervin!
The fans at the scene had already gone crazy. Memphis farmers, aunties, vigorous young men, the hip-shaped girls that Harden and Nash loved, and even children, all showed the tough folk customs of Memphis people.
From time to time, scenes that Chinese TV stations could not broadcast appeared. The security personnel at the scene were so busy that they had to go to appreciate them from a close distance from time to time... No, they had to stop this situation.
After the three quarters, Sun Ce walked back to the bench surrounded by his teammates.
At this time, Scarlett Johansson on the sidelines borrowed a sign that read "Go to xxx's scoring champion, we have a lord" from somewhere and cheered for Sun Ce.
Durant watched on the big screen that Sun Ce made 18 of 26 shots in three quarters, including 8 of 9 three-pointers and 7 of 9 free throws, and scored 53 points. 53 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, 2 steals... and 4 turnovers and 2 fouls. The latter two can be ignored, even the assist-to-turnover ratio can be ignored.
No matter how the Black Widow tramples on him, he is used to it. This is her home court. The scene is almost like a riot, and he doesn't care.
The key is Sun Ce's performance!
50 again!
Durant is in his fifth year of playing, and he has worked hard, but he has never scored 50 in all these years.
And Sun Ce, getting 50 is like drinking water.
Durant remembers clearly that this is the fifth time Sun Ce has scored 50 in the regular season in his career!
Is the gap between people so big?
Not really!
Durant feels that he is 100% better than Sun Ce. For example, in the first half, Sun Ce fought hard in the first half, but he didn't play as well as him. At most, with the help of the whole team, he played a role similar to him in his own team.
But in the third quarter, Sun Ce started to play randomly, not caring about the consequences of missing the shot.
It was just that Sun Ce made it.
Durant had the urge to play like Sun Ce, but he knew he couldn't. He performed steadily, and the Thunder was definitely a top team. If he performed poorly, the Thunder would at most be on the edge of the playoffs in the West.
He is too important to the Thunder!
Durant knew that his team had good talent, but the problem was that they were also a whole, and he was the most critical.
Durant looked at the team's third quarter data comparison on the big screen. The director on the scene wanted to use bloody data to stimulate the opponent.
The Grizzlies made 18 of 24 shots in a single quarter, only missed 6 shots, and the team made 11 three-pointers in a single quarter... Under Sun Ce's crazy performance, the Grizzlies scored 47 to 29 in a single quarter.
The Grizzlies trailed by two points at halftime, but after three quarters, they led the Thunder by 16 points, 98 to 82!
Durant was a little distracted, and someone on the other side was equally shocked but in a state of ecstasy.
Nash had 13 assists in a single quarter, and he wanted to scream to the sky - who else!
Nash never thought that he would break his personal single-quarter assist record when he came to the Grizzlies, a defensive team!
Sun Ce alone contributed 8 assists to him in this quarter!
Nash's previous single-quarter assist record was 12 assists in a single quarter set in his peak period in 2006, which was broken suddenly, and it was broken so easily.
Nash didn't even react to what happened today, and his personal single-quarter assist record was broken.
In addition, from the second half of the first quarter to the first four minutes of the third quarter, Nash led the team to run and bomb efficiently in 10 minutes and got 7 assists, 20 assists in three quarters!
Nash never expected such a situation to happen.
Nash felt like he was dreaming, and he wanted to go back to the bench to take a break...
When Sun Ce returned to the bench, the camera was already on him.
Coach Hollins came to Sun Ce and asked: "60 points?"
At this time, the effect of Curry's "random shooting" had not completely faded. That skill made him crazy. When the game was interrupted during the intermission, the skill effect was interrupted, but it didn't mean that his mentality was adjusted back immediately.
Now Sun Ce, with 35 points in a single quarter, the first in history, is so crazy. When he saw the stadium staff take the microphone of the live sound system next to him, Sun Ce said with an expression of "what's the matter with this": "60 points? Huh?"
Sun Ce's voice reached the ears of everyone at the scene. The fans at the scene had just stopped and were ready to take a break. They had to cheer for the defense in the fourth quarter. When they heard Sun Ce's words, they roared again.
Coach Hollins didn't find it strange. Sun Ce gave up two more points after scoring 58 points in three quarters. He was still 7 points away from 60. Although Sun Ce had a good touch, the opponent was in such a state that the score difference was 16 points... It was not easy for Sun Ce to score 7 points. The opponent might attack Sun Ce endlessly when they were almost certain to lose.
This was Sun Ce's own "unfairness". He "only" scored 18 points in the first half. If he had scored 25 points in the first half, he would have scored 60.
Coach Hollins waved his hand and sent out a lineup of Neil, Tony Allen, Battier, Randolph, and Gasol to defend.
Leading by 16 points into the fourth quarter, even if the Mavericks, who were in playoff form last season, come and Sun Ce doesn't explode in the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies are confident of winning the game.
Sure enough, their team once again turned on the defensive mode when they were ahead after three quarters.
This time Sun Ce didn't play, although the defense was a level weaker, but the 16-point lead was enough.
And the four young stars of the Thunder didn't want to play tonight.
Westbrook, Harden, Durant, and Ibaka all switched to defend Sun Ce, and even had multiple people double-teaming, but Sun Ce was still able to shoot the ball in the rare chances of receiving the ball.
This night was another nightmare for the four young Thunder players... Why again?
Sun Ce took a break on the sidelines for a while, and saw Nash chatting excitedly with coach Hollins, watching his teammates go up to defend, and Randolph alone to maintain the team's offense in the last quarter...
Sun Ce slowly calmed down, and then suddenly realized what he had just said!
"Fuck! How could I not care about this 60...I care a lot!"
But the bullshit had already been put on, and Sun Ce could only swallow his anger, and he had to continue to maintain a calm posture.
Because the score difference was getting bigger and bigger, the Thunder did not send Westbrook and Ibaka in the fourth quarter, as if these two were biological children. Only Harden and Durant were on the court, playing garbage time with Perkins, Daequan Cook, and Reggie Williams.
It was really garbage time. The 16-point difference was not huge, but the Thunder was directly destroyed in the third quarter. The Grizzlies' hit rate in the third quarter reached 75%, and anyone would be destroyed.
Seeing the score difference gradually widening, halfway through the fourth quarter, the team led the Thunder by 21 points, 115 to 94. The Thunder also replaced Durant, Harden and Perkins and announced their surrender.
Sun Ce was completely desperate...
In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the Thunder 127 to 104 and started a three-game winning streak!
After the game, Sun Ce accepted the live interview of Chaoting TV and TNT expressionlessly.
When asked about refusing to play in the fourth quarter after scoring 50 points in the third quarter, Sun Ce's heart was bleeding.
But it was already like this, and Sun Ce didn't regret it very much. He said to the camera: "I actually wanted to play, but Durant didn't give me a chance. If he could score more points while I was resting, I would have a chance to play and score 60 points."
...
...
Sun Ce's pretentious performance in the live interview once again made the hot news, and Twitter, Facebook, Google and other social media and search engines all made Sun Ce a hot search.
But when Sun Ce saw the interview footage of him showing off while Black Widow was laughing non-stop, he felt a little bitter. This time he was not showing off. He really hoped that Durant could explode in the fourth quarter and narrow the score difference to less than 10 points, so that Coach Hollins would be "forced" to replace him.
But it was not what people wanted.
In anger, Sun Ce took Black Widow's tablet and put it on the bedside table, pressing Black Widow. Black Widow was caught off guard. He had just explored the roots. Sun Ce started a new round of activities to explore the origin of life in Black Widow's screams.
…
After Sun Ce finished the game last night, he was interviewed until more than ten o'clock. Zu Goose had already gone back to her home with Scarlett Johansson.
After Sun Ce got home, Sun Ce asked Zu Goose to go back to the room to sleep. He drove Scarlett Johansson back to the hotel, then got lost and returned home at 8:30 in the morning.
However, Zu Goose slept like a pig at this age of growing up. When Sun Ce got home, Zu Goose had not woken up yet.
Last night, Sun Ce clocked out after three quarters, and now he is not so regretful.
Because of clocking out after three quarters, the media and fans are praising his performance last night and his choice not to play in the final quarter.
60 is indeed higher than 50, but in last night's game, Sun Ce chose not to play in the fourth quarter, and chose not to play when the head coach asked him. Coupled with the pretentious words after the game, the fans looked really awesome! 50 in three quarters, when the team is sure to win, go up in the fourth quarter to score a few points and make the score 60, it is not as shocking as clocking out after three quarters at 50!
Although 60 is definitely more important than 50 when retiring, if you want to win season honors, it depends on the impression you give to fans, media, and experts in the current season!
For example, in last night's game, even ESPN, which usually criticizes Sun Ce, used the headline of Sun Ce's words when he was asked by the head coach as the headline.
TNT's focus is on Sun Ce's third time clocking out after three quarters at 50.
Sports Illustrated was more direct:
Sun Ce was browsing the news after he got home. He had regretted for a long time last night. He interacted with Black Widow for most of the night, but he finally felt less regretful. Now he saw the news and didn’t expect that his “reluctant” clocking out after three quarters last night would actually have such an effect!
After three games, he averaged 353 points, 136 rebounds, 43 assists, 33 blocks and 1 steal. Although it is impossible to guarantee it, the media can now brag about it. Fans like to watch it anyway.
In addition to the fact that he clocked out after three quarters with 53 points, many media have been hyping him up since the beginning of the season.
He didn’t expect that there would be calls for VP at this time!
It’s not just the data, nor is it just the clocking out after three quarters last night, but the things that happened in the past two years have come together to form this situation.
Sun Ce feels a little floating...
But after taking a look at his A-level ability evaluation...
He calmed down. He had just reached the first-class edge level. He should not be affected by Curry's skills transformed from his "random shooting" characteristics.
Last night's game, now he thinks it's surreal, and he wants to curse those shooting choices.
However, seeing the ability evaluation, Sun Ce began to think.
He has always had a doubt, it seems that his ability evaluation is a little different from others, and slowly he has understood it.
Others evaluate their ability based on their performance, while he evaluates his physical fitness, technology and other aspects, and divides them into levels under the system data, and then gives a comprehensive evaluation.
Moreover, the effects of skills and equipment should not be counted in the ability evaluation, and the bonus of cooperation with teammates should not be counted, otherwise he would have been VP last season.
As for Parker, although he is currently at the most perfect moment of combining technology and physical fitness, theoretically he should be at the quasi-top level, but he should not be infinitely close to the superstar level. He should be stronger than ordinary first-class stars, but he is definitely not infinitely close to the superstar level.
But in the ability evaluation, Sun Ce saw that Parker could be promoted to S-level even if he was a little better at three-point shooting.
That is, the ability evaluation of other people is affected by the playing environment, and is directly calculated based on the performance that can be played.
Even the players of the Grizzlies team where Sun Ce is located are like this.
This is a good thing for Sun Ce. He has to use the star experience card of powerful players at least 10 times a season. This ability evaluation that directly shows his pure personal ability without the influence of factors such as the team will not make him feel too good about himself and can always maintain that humble state of hard work.
And even if he figured it out, he would continue to maintain it, because the A-level ability evaluation is written there.
Facing the dripping blood is very important for young players.
Sun Ce calmed down the restlessness of 8 three-pointers in a single quarter last night. He still has to play against the Mavericks tomorrow, so he has to prepare well.
He looked at the three events related to last night's game.
In the second stage of the "This woman is mine" event, Sun Ce took the lead and the match with Durant became 1-0. In the evening, he also shot a few shots on the woman, a night of great victory.
Compared with Westbrook's triple-double, the two have not had a triple-double since the beginning of the new season, and they are tied.
In the "I am the Block King" event this season, Ibaka, who averages 4 blocks per game, is better, but Sun Ce had 3 blocks last night, and Ibaka only had 2.
Sun Ce is two ahead of Ibaka.
The first two events are not that difficult, but the key is to compete with Ibaka for the block king, which is too difficult!
Sun Ce browsed the news for a while and browsed the forums to see the news and posts that boast about himself to relieve the pressure brought by this event.
If he really wins the block king for consecutive years, it would be awesome.
While browsing his own news, Sun Ce saw a news related to Nash.
Nash actually had 20 assists in three quarters last night, and 13 assists in the third quarter alone broke his personal career record.
Looking at the touching confession to Nash in a post posted by a Suns fan, and the blessing that they hope the Grizzlies can win the championship...
This made Sun Ce feel the warmest side of the fans.
…
After resting for a whole morning, Sun Ce came to the gym for training in the afternoon.
The games have to be played one by one.
Today is the 5th day of the season. Before tonight's game, all teams have played 2 to 3 games.
The Grizzlies, who started with 3 wins and 0 losses, are undoubtedly the first in the West. The first in the East is the Heat, who started with 2 wins and 0 losses. The New Jersey Nets started with 2 wins and 0 losses and tied with the Heat for the first in the East.
Sun Ce performed well and just broke out last night. The team started with a perfect record. The discussion about Sun Ce continued until the evening before slowly cooling down.
Because there is another focus battle tonight, the Bulls vs. the Heat!
Due to the suspension, in order to quickly attract fans back, the league will continue to play against those hot teams at the beginning of the season. For example, after the Grizzlies started with the Spurs, the Trail Blazers, and the Thunder, they will continue to play against strong teams on the 31st, which is tomorrow, and the defending champion Mavericks.
The same is true for the Bulls and the Heat. The Bulls played the Lakers in the opening game and the Knicks in the second game. Although the Knicks lost Paul, the Knicks were arranged as a hot team when the schedule was arranged. Then the Heat played the Heat in the third game. The Heat's opponents in the first two games were also hot teams, the Mavericks and the Thunder.
The same is true for other hot teams, the Spurs, the Lakers, the Knicks, the 76ers... All the playoff-level teams in the East and West, almost all have strong opponents at the beginning of the season.
The effect is really good, the fans are very enthusiastic, but more strong confrontations also mean more weak confrontations. The Nets defeated the Hornets and the Cavaliers in a row and ranked first in the East.
When Sun Ce saw this ranking, he felt that this was probably the best ranking of the Nets in the past few years after Kidd and Carter left the Nets. In the past, they had started with n consecutive losses.
In the afternoon, after practicing shooting and high-post back-to-back movements for 4 hours, Sun Ce, Yi Jianlian, Battier, and Yao Ming, who came to Memphis, had dinner together.
When Sun Ce was checking the news in the morning, he was not just relaxing, he also read the Mavericks scouting report that the team sent to the players' emails last night.
This season, the NBA began to implement "paperless" operations. In addition to the necessary use of paper such as signing contracts, work should be done as much as possible using emails, tablet documents, and mobile phone files.
Sun Ce felt that this matter might be a big trouble for a player born in the 1970s, who couldn't even send text messages properly.
From the scout report, Sun Ce could see that the two veterans, Yao Ming and Nowitzki, were really not in good shape at the beginning. The Mavericks currently have 1 win and 1 loss, losing to the Heat and beating the Bulls. The win against the Bulls was very close, but Chandler's defense was strong, locking down Rose who broke through in the pick-and-roll, and the pick-and-roll was also well defended, which put a lot of restrictions on the Bulls. In addition, Conley made 3 mid-range shots in a row at a critical moment to win.
Nowitzki averaged 14 points and 5 rebounds in the first two games, and Yao Ming averaged 11 points and 6 rebounds, which was a big difference from last season.
The lockout had a huge impact on the two. For old inside players like them, they really didn't dare to practice too much during the lockout, and they didn't know when the lockout would end.
During dinner, Sun Ce deliberately mentioned the record and deliberately turned the topic of conversation towards the game.
Seeing Yao Ming's depressed look, Sun Ce was very happy.
And the King and Giant combination is not in good condition, which is too good news for the Grizzlies!
Tomorrow night, revenge!
