Staying defensive as much as possible was an adjustment made by the coaching staff during Nash's time on the floor.

Try your best to press the tempo, and if it comes to positional battles, use Nash to defend Corey Brewer to catch and shoot, Larry Sanders to defend the basket, Klay Thompson and Paul George to defend the perimeter, and Son Ce to help defend.

If the opponent starts a fast attack, then the bomb, both 3D are there, and their attack is still okay.

On the contrary, when their Grizzlies did not fight back to the positional battle, Larry Sanders' blocking ability had not yet been developed, and Sun Ce had to block and dismantle with Nash, and the impact of the positional battle was not as good as that of Yi Jianlian and Lopez Jr.

But this is already the best thing the coaching staff can think of...... In fact, Coach Hollins has arranged the defense and tried his best to ensure that this lineup can attack, and how well the specific offense plays depends on the players themselves.

Fortunately, Nash lived up to the trust of his teammates and coaches, and after the defense was guaranteed and he had the opportunity to grab the defensive rebound and counterattack, Nash organized the offense well.

Sun Ce scored 4 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block in the first half of the second quarter, coupled with the excellent performance of his teammates, when the official timeout came to the second quarter, the Grizzlies tied the Nuggets in this half of the quarter, and the score during this time was 14-14, and the Grizzlies temporarily led the Nuggets by 1 point at 38-37.

In the last five and a half minutes of the first half, the Grizzlies re-replaced Tony Allen, Gasol Jr., and Battier, and kept Klay Thompson to cooperate with Sun Ce.

The coaching staff and found out that when Sun Ce and Klay Thompson were on the court together, the two always played better than playing separately, mainly on the offensive end.

It's going to be grinding on defense!

Sun Ce played a quarter and a half in a row, and the fatigue also came, 18 and a half minutes, Sun Ce got 13 points, 7 boards, 4 assists, 3 blocks, 2 steals, 1 turnover, and 1 foul.

But it wasn't much of a problem to get through the first half.

As Sun Ce expected, after his own team sent Gasol Jr., the Thunder's offense was greatly limited!

Their Grizzlies were able to have an advantage in the first 10 minutes of the first quarter by relying on a playoff-level defense, and an all-out playoff-level defense.

But not every playoff powerhouse can have a lineup as deep as their Grizzlies, and there are always choices that need to be made in the regular season, so many strong teams are unwilling to fight in the face of the Nuggets.

It's okay with them Grizzlies, there are people!

However, Mr. Tony came up, and their offense began to be limited again, and Sun Ce didn't care so much, he found an opportunity to throw 4 three-pointers in 5 and a half minutes, and he was lucky, 2 of 4 shots!

After Sun Ce's three-point shot was made, Klay Thompson also made a three-pointer, plus Battier received a layup from Gasol Jr.'s high post, and in the last five and a half minutes, the Grizzlies played an 11-8 score, and at halftime, the Grizzlies led 49-45 and extended the lead to 4 points again!

……

A way to deal with the Nuggets has been found, and Sun Ce naturally has to continue to implement it.

After playing a physical potion and returning to the scene, the crowd carried out a jersey change ceremony that made Lawson's scalp tingle, and after the start of the third quarter of the game, Sun Ce and his teammates strictly implemented the second quarter of play.

In the first 6 minutes and 12 seconds, Sun Ce, Nash, Jimmy Butler, Paul George, Larry Sanders' lineup and the Nuggets played offense, and the Grizzlies also scored two more points, Nash is more comfortable with not being able to block and dismantle with Yi Jianlian or Larry Sanders can only play with Sun Ce, Sun Ce is now much more solid than last season, and the Grizzlies played a 16-14 half-quarter score.

In this half quarter, Sun Ce scored 1 three-pointer, made 4 free throws and made 3 of 4 free throws to score a total of 6 points, raising his personal score to 25 points, seeing the score become 65-59, the lead expanded to 6 points, and the situation is getting more and more favorable!

After the official timeout, the Grizzlies replaced the lineup of Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Jimmy Butler, Prince, and Gasol Jr., ready to defend stubbornly, taking advantage of the lead of 6 points, and consuming the opponent's outside shooting touch in the second half of the third quarter, and having a greater chance of winning in the fourth quarter.

However, accidents always come so suddenly, and in the second half of the third quarter, Lawson exploded!

Lawson scored 7 points and 2 assists on 3-of-3 shooting in the first quarter, and the two assists were a three-pointer from Gallinari who topped the power forward position, and Wilson Chandler made a mid-range shot, plus Farid hit a Gallinari dunk and two free throws from a foul, the Nuggets played a 16-9 score in the second half of the third quarter, and after the third quarter, the Grizzlies went from a four-point lead in the third quarter to a one-point deficit into the fourth quarter.

Lost by 5 points in a single quarter! 74 to 75, Sun Ce was caught off guard.

In terms of scoring, it was smoother than Sun Ce imagined, with 30 points after the third quarter, and it should not be a big problem to score 6 points in the final quarter.

However, Sun Ce's original expectation of relying on defense to break down the opponent in the second half of the third quarter and the idea that he could take advantage of the wave in the fourth quarter was shattered!

The plan didn't catch up with the change, and Lawson made 3 of 3 shots to bring a huge threat, so that Lawson helped the Nuggets play better than usual in less than 6 minutes!

One three-pointer, two baskets to score, the Grizzlies played well, and were beaten by Lawson's outburst and fell into passivity!

The planned strategy was disrupted by Lawson's outburst, and Coach Hollins did not expose his panic and arranged the rotation well, with Sun Ce and double 3-and-D on the court, and Batil and Gasol Jr. on the court.

Now I can only grind the defense, and on the offensive end, I will point to Gasol Jr. and Sun Ce to organize the offense, double 3D.

……

The final quarter of the game was about to begin, and the players of both teams took to the court.

On the Nuggets side, Lawson, Brewer, Gallinari, Farid, and Kouvers played the strongest lineup.

Lawson, who was in his playing years, played the first three quarters and continued in the fourth quarter, and Lawson was very excited tonight, but also under a lot of pressure.

He can obviously feel that Sun Ce's strength is not much stronger than him, and his personal ability is at the same level, but Sun Ce can always make better use of his teammates, and he plays a role in helping each other, and on his side, the whole team has to play around him.

Isn't it just to grow taller? What's the big deal!

This made Lawson frustrated and unhappy, unhappy + wanted to kill Sun Ce + was even more jealous of Sun Ce's height, so there was an outburst in the second half of the third quarter.

The margin is only 1 point, and the Grizzlies are nervous, and the Nuggets are under a lot of pressure.

I don't want to lose!

And the Nuggets led by 1 point, and they were about to lose it at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and Sun Ce came up and went straight to the basket to cause Kouvers to foul and go to the free throw line!
