At halftime, 37-36, relying on Sun Ce's second athletic goal of the half, the Grizzlies still maintained a one-point lead before halftime.

This score, Sun Ce looked at it and felt that it was simply excellent!

With two minutes left in the second quarter, Sun Ce was replaced, because Ray Allen came up with a three-pointer to overtake the score, the Grizzlies needed a speed player to prevent Pierce from running, Conley was very important today, his physical strength was not better than Sun Ce, and Sun Ce was needed to help him this time.

Sun Ce came up and scored a goal at the end, during which both teams did not score other points, no free throws, Sun Ce grabbed two rebounds in two minutes, and Rondo also had 1 rebound, and the two teams were simply desperately defended!

I don't consider the feelings of the fans at all, of course it doesn't matter to the fans at the scene, the main thing is that Time Warner Cable Sports is estimated to be crying, although it is not a national live broadcast, but it is also a live broadcast in Massachusetts, Tennessee, and California!

With 6 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, Sun Ce played 12 minutes in the half, and the rebounds were about to double-double.

Rondo's side had 4 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists in the half, and the two point guards combined for 14 rebounds in the half, which was no one!

Just last season, Rondo played Kidd, Rondo had 6 points, 13 boards and 14 assists, and Kidd had 7 points, 12 boards and 15 assists.

Looking at the data of the two teams listed on the big screen, Sun Ce and Rondo are the current rebounding champions of their respective teams......

"10 to 11 ......" Sun Ce cares more about this, his own assists are really not as good as Rondo.

Sun Ce didn't have many assists in positional battles, while Rondo had a lot of assists in positional battles!

"Why not than score? We're all averaging 13 points per game, so why not score more than assists? ”

Sun Ce returned to the locker room with a resentful mood.

……

Coach Hollins said loudly in the locker room that he wanted to maintain the style of play in the first half and boost the morale of the players, which cannot be discharged!

The Grizzlies, for their part, hold a negligible two-point lead and have done their best.

On the Celtics side, Pierce, who has not lost to Kobe, Roy, and Anthony in key ball performance this season, has not yet made a force......

It seems to be evenly matched, but in fact, the Grizzlies are just barely holding on.

However, it is not that Celtic do not want to pull away in one fell swoop, but ...... Can't do it!

Pierce was 32 years old at the beginning of the season, and he was the same as Carter, who was 32 years old last season, even if he played with all his might, he maintained the ability to average 20 points per game, and his physical strength had to be spent on the blade.

These two top stars of the same age and entering the NBA in the same year are very close in terms of career trajectories and data changes, except for the championship, the personal honors of the two are also similar, and most of the time in the peak period, the second to fourth people in the same position can occasionally enter the second and third teams.

But everyone has their own fate, Pierce has the two giants who are most suitable for him, the big three are down and Rondo is on the rise; Carter, on the other hand, was ecstatic to join a runner-up team and found that the true core of the team went to his old club to get a big contract.

Carter joined the Magic team, it was the contract that the Magic team matched with Alston, Courtney Lee, and Tony Barty, the Magic team retained the bird rights of Turkoglou, but they were unwilling to give 5 years and 50 million to lower the price, the Magic team did not want to keep Turkoglou, they knew the importance of Turkoglou no matter how Watt in their brains, they just wanted to lower the price, just like O'Neal back then, they did not give Hardaway a maximum salary later, but the price reduction failed again, and the Raptors were willing to give 5 years and 53 million.

As the overall runner-up team, who didn't give the real core a big contract and was poached by other teams with a total salary that was millions higher, the Magic's operation Carter last summer may feel déjà vu, when he was still a college student......

And when the Celtics were still hoping to compete for the championship, they did not hesitate to keep Glen Davis, who was offered 5 million for two years by the Magic, for two years, for 5 million, Rasheed Wallace, for the highest amount of mid-range contract offer, signed Daniels, and exchanged the expiring contract at the end of the bench for Nate Robinson, who was on a long-term contract......

Two people of equal strength have different encounters.

Pierce had to save his physical strength at critical moments to avoid being caught up after opening too violently to open up the difference...... And the Grizzlies' starting defense is so fierce, Pierce may not really be able to pull away the score.

When the Grizzlies started the game, the Celtics relied on pure defense.

When Sun Ce came up with a Grizzlies lineup with better space and better offense, the Celtics sent a space-type lineup, and it was a space-type lineup with excellent defense, and the Grizzlies rotated lineup to improve their scoring ability as much as possible while ensuring defense.

It seems that the Grizzlies have always maintained the advantage on the court, but in fact, the Grizzlies are exhausted, and no matter how they change their style of play, the Celtics have corresponding countermeasures.

The salary of more than 83 million is indeed too big a gap between the salary of 56.77 million and the lineup of more than 500,000 salaries from the salary cap.

The Celtics don't have any so-called garbage contracts at the moment, and there are 9 players who can start when they change teams!

And when Coach Rivers has great players on the team, his rotation ability and tactical framework layout, and chicken soup ability are really good.

At present, the Celtics still have high-quality substitutes such as Nate Robinson and Finley, and temporarily maintain a nine-man rotation.

Didn't Coach Hollins see a problem on his side?

Of course, he found out, and he could see that his own team was just maintaining a little advantage in front of him.

The opponent gave it his all today and was in good shape.

The Grizzlies can only rely on the ability to protect the rebounding ball, rely on the starting defense to wear down the opponent's hand, and rely on Sun Ce's average of 17+7+10 in the past seven games to attract pinching after hitting a good shot, so as to barely maintain this little lead.

These Hollins coaches know that, however, this is already the best situation their team can do.

No matter how much you adjust, you won't be able to do better, but you may not even be able to maintain the current situation, and Coach Hollins can only hope that it will drag on until the critical moment.

The opposing side has excellent key players such as Pierce, Ray Allen, Rashid Wallace, Finley and so on.

But the Grizzlies also have Gay, Conley, and Randolph on their side...... and the most incredible rookie - Sun Ce!

Who is afraid of the key ball, but I am afraid that I will not be able to hit the critical moment......

So the tone of the game was set.
