Yao Ming was the Mavericks' top scorer, playing 26 minutes in regular time and scoring a game-high 20 points on the Mavericks' side, Nowitzki scored 14 points, Carter 13 points, Conley 12 points, Marion 12 points, Morrow 12 points, Chandler 11 points, the average is overdone!

Fortunately, the Mavericks defensively average, and their Grizzlies played a decent offense.

This is a clear improvement for the Grizzlies, with Randolph's weight reduced to less than 130 kilograms, although the mid-range shooting touch did not return, Randolph relied on his weight, extraordinary flexibility in the case of overweight, low post skills and other advantages, and played the center position in the small lineup to good effect.

This made the Grizzlies' positional offense gradually improve, which can be seen from the time when they played the Nuggets, but they didn't notice it when they felt too good on the outside, and it was already very obvious when they played the 76ers in the last game.

Tonight, when Yao Ming and Nowitzki were both rested and Chandler played center, Randolph played well against Chandler's one-on-one defense rather than a help defense.

Of course, Randolph is still the best player to play as a power forward with a weight of more than 120 kilograms, and at the moment this is only a stopgap measure, but it works very well.

But this also makes Sun Ce a little regretful, if Randolph could have the current state when he played the Spurs last time, their Grizzlies would not have been abused so badly at the beginning.

However, as long as he recovers slowly, after two months, Randolph's weight loss has finally achieved results, and it is developing in a better direction; And a grandson like Evans and Ross in the second and third years who has entered the take-off stage can also use this time to practice their progress on the court with all their might, and then find better opportunities for improvement.

Sun Ce shook his head, don't worry about this, it's about to go to overtime.

It was a tough game, but it was a good fight!

Carlisle is so good, he has brought the strength of Yao Ming and Chandler, who have now declined greatly with age, to the extreme, and the Mavericks have replaced a group of high-quality role players, all with their own characteristics, and they are unexpectedly well integrated.

It feels like another version of Spurs...... Or rather, it's a whole new way of playing as a team!

……

At the end of the overtime preparation time, on the Mavericks' side, Carlisle replaced Yao Ming, who played the biggest role on the offensive end in regular time and the best in the league on the defensive end, and then stopped playing.

More than 25 minutes of playing time has reached the limit of Carlisle's use of Yao Ming in the regular season.

Yao Ming didn't complain, he really wanted to continue to fight with Sun Ce, but his physical strength was limited, and the needs of the team were the most important things in his current athlete career.

Carlisle brought on the lineup of Conley, Carter, Marion, Nowitzki, and Chandler.

Yao Ming focused on regular time and Nowitzki came out in crunch time, which was Carlisle's use of the team's best two veterans.

In the regular season, the Mavericks lost a lot of games, especially when Yao Ming and Nowitzki were rested together, but it also kept the two veterans in good health.

On the Grizzlies' side, Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Battier, and Randolph played.

Coach Hollins didn't want Gasol Jr. to play too long, he had already played 28 minutes tonight, so he continued to replace Randolph, who played well at center tonight, and tonight in addition to Sun Ce's 39 points, the second highest scoring player on the Grizzlies' side was Randolph, with 17 points and 7 boards, which was higher than Klay Thompson's 16 points and Paul George's 14 points.

Sun Ce and Chandler came to the center circle to jump the ball, the referee blew the whistle at the beginning of overtime and threw the ball into the air, Chandler easily won the jump ball, Sun Ce immediately retreated after landing, and was mentally prepared.

Entering the positional battle defense, Sun Ce went to follow Marion, Paul George went up to defend against Conley, Klay Thompson defended Carter, Randolph defended Chandler, and Battier went to run with Nowitzki.

Conley saw that the other team had become a defensive lineup that he was completely unfamiliar with, and he and his cousins regretted not being able to continue working together, just as Guy regretted not being with the team for another year.

But regret is not regret, although Conley doesn't like to fight for anything, but he is very happy to have the role of core point guard for the Mavericks.

Conley watched his teammate's movement and blocked with Chandler at just the right time to attract Sun Ce's defense, and Marion received the ball and passed it to Nowitzki, who used his height advantage and feel to shoot Randolph who switched to the defense.

109-107, after the start of overtime, the Mavericks took the lead!

Yao Ming stood up on the sidelines, holding a towel in his left hand and a fist in his right hand, although he did not play, he was full of a sense of participation.

Sun Ce took it back and picked up the ball and sent it to Paul George, after arriving in the front court, Sun Ce went up to Paul George to block and dismantle, in fact, it was a fake block, Paul George dribbled over and passed to Sun Ce, and then blocked Marion in one step, Sun Ce passed Carter in one step and rushed into the inside line from the left side of the top arc!

Nowitzki guarded the basket, Randolph took a step forward and was ready to rush for the offensive rebound, Sun Ce rushed to the left side of the three-second zone, Chandler let go of Battier from the left bottom corner and shrank back, blocking Sun Ce's cross corner space, Sun Ce stopped on the left sideline in the three-second zone and changed direction to the right!

"Acceleration and direction change in motion level 4 trigger ......"

Sun Ce stepped to the right side of the three-second zone and threw a shot from close range......

Nowitzki and Chandler both pounced, Sun Ce's running shot was interfered with and didn't score, but Randolph went around the baseline to the left side of the three-second zone, grabbed the offensive rebound, and made a layup under Chandler's defense!

Sun Ce and Randolph quickly retreated after high-fives, and he knew that it would be difficult for him to score against Nowitzki and Chandler, and this goal was the physical strength of Chandler! If Chandler, who only played 25 minutes in the first three quarters, could successfully make up for the defense in the face of Randolph's secondary attack, but Chandler has played 36 minutes, far more than his usual playing time!

Chandler and Gasol Jr., the two best defensive centers in the league today, are difficult to get into the first defense because of their physical fitness.

Now it's time to boil!

There are still 4 minutes and 22 seconds left, the Mavericks score, the Grizzlies will attack with all their might, the Mavericks can't score, it's the Grizzlies' chance!

At 3:17 of overtime, Carter hit a key three-pointer from the Mavericks to make the score 114-111, but then, Sun Ce hit a three-point shot in response, and then Klay Thompson also scored! The Splash Brothers are here again!
