After the start of the second half, the two teams began to compete in technical and tactical battles.

Coach Hollins is responsible for personnel adjustment according to the situation and the state of the players, and the offensive end of the play is judged by the core players on the field according to the lineup How to play, and the only place where Coach Hollins controls the details in the game is defense, even if it is Nash, he has to keep up with the pitcher he wants to defend, even if he can't interfere, he can't lose his position, otherwise the defensive rotation will not be able to play.

Especially Sun Ce went to defend Conley, and the team's defensive level plummeted.

Carlisle's side also followed Conley's containment of Sun Ce, making tactical adjustments, although the Mavericks were unable to play Conley and Chandler's blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation, missing one of the most important tactics, but only playing one game, not a series, then you can seek as much change as possible.

The key is the mentality of the two teams, the Grizzlies just want to win, and the Mavericks try to win as much as possible.

So, in the third quarter, it was the Mavericks who had a slight advantage!

After the first three quarters, the Grizzlies still maintained a six-point lead, and the Mavericks scored 28 points in the third quarter.

Nowitzki exerted his strength in the third quarter, with 12 points and 2 assists in a single quarter, plus Yao Ming, who scored 3 consecutive goals at the end of the third quarter, the two combined for 18 points to help the Mavericks narrow the 3-point gap.

On Sun Ce's side, he scored 18 points, 8 boards, 9 assists, 3 blocks and 3 steals after the third quarter.

In this quarter, Sun Ce was trying to find a way to make Conley's mistakes, but Conley often passed directly after the half, and Conley, who protected the ball well, did not make a mistake in the third quarter, and also scored 5 points and 2 assists, and Conley also had 15 points and 8 assists after the third quarter.

In terms of organizing the offense alone, Sun Ce did not bargain.

Conley had 3 turnovers in the first half and 3 turnovers after the third quarter, and Conley's turnovers in this quarter were very well controlled.

However, Sun Ce did not choose not to defend Conley because of this, and did not return to the habitual defensive position to assist in defense, but would rather run a longer distance to assist in defense at a longer distance, and continue to maintain the defensive pressure on Conley, even if Conley was just a setter who came up to dribble + catch and shoot and was supplemented after receiving the ball in the open position, he did not choose to change the defense.

At the end of the third quarter, the Grizzlies led by six points at 89-83 and went into the break.

Sun Ce's running distance in this quarter may be twice as long as the running range of 16 minutes in the first half! Desperately assisted in defense, the effect was average, but he was tired enough, back on the edge of the court, Yi Jianlian and Little Jordan came to wipe Sun Ce's sweat, Sun Ce gasped and gave instructions in his heart, accompanied by the system prompting him to replenish electrolytes, the feeling of suffocation quickly disappeared.

Taking a deep breath, Sun Ce stood up straight, seeing that Sun Ce was no longer panting, Yi Jianlian and Little Jordan saw that Sun Ce recovered so quickly, they had long been used to it, genius, there are always some differences, there are physical monsters like Iverson and Kobe, and naturally there will be monsters like Sun Ce with average physical strength but strong recovery ability.

After wiping off the sweat with a hot towel with the help of Shuangdi, a group of teammates surrounded Sun Ce and helped Sun Ce change into a clean jersey.

In this scene, the fans at the scene knew that Sun Ce, who was worried about the third quarter's defensive efforts, was fine, and he could continue to be rigid in the fourth quarter!

They don't have so much effort, as long as they can win, Sun Ce's fourth energy-saving play is definitely a huge benefit to their team.

On Sun Ce's side, the defensive effect in the third quarter was not good, the opponent Nowitzki and Yao Ming scored 18 points together, which was destructive, although others only scored 10 points on 12 shots, Yao Ming and Nowitzki scored 18 points on 10 shots, but in general, Sun Ce only completed the outside line or cut in when the teammates of Nowitzki and Yao Ming vacated their own defenders, and did not interfere with Yao Ming and Nowitzki, so that the two played very comfortably.

The point difference was narrowed, and he couldn't lay a 10-point lead at the end of the third quarter, and he could defend with all his might in the fourth quarter, and now the situation is still very dangerous, if Nowitzki can still score 10+ points in a single quarter like the third quarter in the fourth quarter, and it is foreseeable that Yao Ming will play hard in the last few minutes, their Grizzlies may be overturned.

But the goal was achieved!

Sun Ce still insists on playing like this, there are two reasons for this, the first is that his side played well in the third quarter, he personally scored 6 points and 3 assists, Nash also helped Randolph and Jordan Jr. to score 10 points, plus Nash played 8 minutes and scored 6 points, and Tony Allen hit a three-point shot to the hell, 25 points in a single quarter, not too much shrunk by the opponent.

The second is ...... Consume the physical strength of the Mavericks' other ball-holding perimeter players except Conley!

Tony Allen defended Jason Terry hand-to-hand throughout the whole process, whether he held the ball or not, when the Mavericks sent Conley and Barria's dual point guards, Neil came up to defend Barria, regardless of anything else, just confrontation, although Barria got 4 free throws in 5 minutes, but the effect was obvious!

Barria's physical strength has not been very good, Jason Terry played a very long time today, and was replaced with 9 minutes left in the third quarter from the second half of the first quarter.

Carlisle's tactical changes are very good, and when the team has not reached its best state and its strength is inferior to the Grizzlies, he has narrowed some of the points difference by tactical adaptation, but Sun Ce's side also has tactical changes after discussing with the coaching staff and teammates!

Nowitzki scored 12 points on 4 of 6 shots in the third quarter, this state could not be prevented, Sun Ce may not have much effect even if he went to help defend, Yao Ming deducted Little Jordan twice in a low position, and also caused a foul and two free throws, which can not be stopped, in this case, Coach Hollins feels that it is better to come like Sun Ce suggested.

Carlisle has a good grasp of the timing of Nowitzki and Yao Ming's outbreaks, and if they change rashly, Carlisle will definitely have a strain, and maybe they will liberate Conley, who performed well in the first quarter, then it is really the Big Three.

Although Sun Ce failed to complete a steal on Conley in the third quarter, nor did he make a mistake for Conley, at least the goal was achieved.

Reducing the number of guards who can help Conley carry the burden of playmaking the offense left Conley needing one man in the fourth quarter.

However, Sun Ce is also ready, and in the fourth quarter, he continued to devote himself to the single defense of Conley, to influence Conley's control of the ball as much as possible, force Conley to pass, find the right time to steal, and, "cut off food", the skill of predicting the object of the ball holder's pass, if it is a single defense, you also need to create your own steal opportunities, if you are one meter away, even if you trigger the skill to judge who the opponent is going to pass to, there is no way to interfere.

Usually, Sun Ce occasionally triggers this skill, but most of it is used to predict the help defense in advance, not for steals, but to increase the success rate of blocking and help defense interference, after all, he is not defending the ball carrier.

And Sun Ce's new effect of "cutting off food" "besieging the city" doesn't think it's useful only when a single defense block is used to let teammates finch the attack, he goes to make up for the ball carrier, it is also a pinch attack, and the opponent divides the ball, he also has a 10% prediction probability!

……

Sun Ce was concentrating on preparing to defend against Conley, and on the Mavericks' side, Carlisle saw Sun Ce gasping for a while and holding a few cans of Gatorade and drinking wildly, almost being!

finally relied on Nowitzki and Yao Ming to erupt successively to attract and flank attacks, forcing Sun Ce to make up for the defense in a long-distance run on the outside, consuming Sun Ce's physical strength, but this guy's terrifying recovery ability quickly recovered.

And it's not just the surface recovery, Carlisle estimates that Sun Ce has recovered at least half of his physical strength, and there is nothing wrong with playing a quarter, which is too uncomfortable for him, and the tactics of consuming physical strength are useless for Sun Ce!

It's inexplicable, just like peak Jordan, Kobe, and Iverson.

James can find a way to make him tired to cramps, but people like Sun Ce can't help it! It can only rely on the strength of hard steel.

Give him another month or two months to adjust, Carlisle is confident that Nowitzki and Yao Ming will further improve their state and reach the best state they can achieve, like the state of last year's playoffs, Carlisle does not want extravagance, his goal is to make Nowitzki and Yao Ming reach the level of the second and third teams in the regular season last year, with a better team system than last season, it is not that there is no chance to defend the title.

But at present, this game, the problem is a bit big, the third quarter is really supported by Nowitzki and Yao Ming, not only failed to consume Sun Ce, but made Barria and Jason Terry tired enough, Jason Terry played 26 minutes, the fourth season can not be counted on, the first three quarters played 24 in the middle of Nowitzki can be sent to block the containment point, singles do not count, there is still a role in the lead.

Then, if you want to win, you can only rely on Conley and Chandler + two wings.

The key is Conley!

Carlisle really didn't expect that Sun Ce would restrain Conley so much, and now he is counting on Conley to come up with a way, which Carlisle can't help Conley yet, the tactics are thought out, and the execution depends on the players themselves to find a way to execute.

……

Coming back from the break, the fourth quarter of the game began.

On the Mavericks' side, Conley, Boubois, Marion, Nowitzki, and Masimmy played with a lineup.

In the case that Yao Ming only played 14 minutes in the first three quarters and scored 11 points, Chandler played 22 minutes in the first three quarters, and both of them had to rest, otherwise they might not be able to survive the fourth quarter combined.

At this time, Massimmy is very important, he is not just Yao Ming on the court when he is resting, when Yao Ming and Chandler are playing, he also needs to be ready to top for a while, and he must also be able to play half a game or even the first three quarters like today, and he can still come up in the fourth quarter to contribute, this 4-year 12 million contract mini middle class contract is not so easy to take, the three years of Marcinmi's rookie contract in the Spurs, Mavericks, Timberwolves average only 3 points and 2 boards per game, Carlisle takes a fancy to him and is willing to give the mini middle class, It's because he works hard even if he only plays a few minutes in the last garbage time.

Sometimes a player is signed, not because of how good he is, but because he fits.

Fit is very important, for example, on the Lakers' side, if it was 4 years ago, Kobe Bryant and Paul teamed up, the two could fight, at least one side would be disobedient like Howard to the other, now, both of them are not as strong as they were then, Kobe himself has established his own historical status, Paul has experienced the darkest two years, and the two are no longer the first and second in the MVP rankings at that time, but they have worked together very happily.

On the Grizzlies' side, the combination of Sun Ce, Neil, Paul George, Battier, and Yi Jianlian played.

The Bears and Tony Sensei rested first, and Sun Ce and Neil played together.

The Grizzlies attack first.

Conley followed Neil and watched Sun Ce push in, he didn't expect to leave the Grizzlies and still be in the shadow of Sun Ce.

Sun Ce didn't expect him to defend Kangli better than before, and underestimated the improvement of his physical fitness to his single defense skills; Similarly, Conley didn't expect that he would be more restrained in the face of Sun Ce's single defense than before, he was very aware of his progress, but he didn't expect to face Sun Ce even worse.

Of course, Conley won't just accept his fate!

Sun Ce broke through Marion with Yi Jianlian's block, and under the active defense of Masimmi, he suddenly changed direction sharply at close range, and accelerated the change of direction in the march to trigger, Masimmi rushed directly out of the bottom line, Marion took it back and didn't make up for it, Sun Ce instantly skyrocketed to the S-level speed of changing direction, and took two steps to the left side of the three-second area and scored two points with a low hand layup.

With this style of play, Sun Ce usually doesn't play like this except for the beginning and the critical moment in the fourth quarter, but today, the physical energy potion is not used until the end of the third quarter, and now his physical strength is not just half of the recovery as Carlisle predicted, but full physical strength!

If it was Chandler's defense, he wouldn't be able to hit this ball, and Chandler's excellent pick-and-roll ability would definitely find an opportunity to give him physical contact.

Sun Ce is very confident in playing Ma Simmi, he knows this player, he is impressed, in the summer of 2016, even if you count the earth-shattering contract of the Lakers' dead two elders, Ma Simmi's 4-year 64 million contract is still the worst, and the data of 9 points and 7 boards per game in the contract year makes Ma Simmi not worry about eating, drinking, and having fun for the rest of his life.

Sun Ce remembers those garbage contracts very well.

The offense and defense switched, the Mavericks attacked, Conley opened up space in the third quarter, and during the long time of the intermission, he was thinking about how to deal with Sun Ce's defense, and he was thinking very calmly, and he didn't give up on himself because he was locked up by Sun Ce, and because his performance in the face of Sun Ce was far lower than expected.

However, he thought of a lot of ways, and when he dribbled the ball over half the court and was covered by Sun Ce before he got out of the middle circle, his head was blank......

Hit the egg!

This is an exaggeration!

Sometimes the more you pay attention to one thing, the more you want to deal with it, and it just so happens that this matter is not a time and a half to come up with a solution, the more you think about it, the more terrible you feel.

After a quarter, Conley was once again in charge, and the terrible situation that had worried him for more than a quarter reappeared, and he was so frightened that he hurried to pass the ball to Boobis next to him, who had just passed half after serving.

Sun Ce grabbed the ball and pushed it out the moment the ball left Conley's hand, he immediately pounced, hit the ball with his body, and knocked the ball forward, Sun Ce immediately followed to grab the ball - steal!

Rushing to the frontcourt, Sun Ce was going to dunk one lightly, but at this time Yi Jianlian followed, Sun Ce was surprised, but the three-step dunk turned into a high throw after two steps, and Yi Jianlian scored two points before Ma Simi caught up.

Sun Ce didn't notice the back when he was defending Conley just now, and Ma Simmi saw Sun Ce pressing to defend Conley in the half, and pulled it out to prepare to block people, but Conley didn't see it, his vision was not as good as Paul's of the same height, otherwise Sun Ce would not be so easy to steal this ball.

However, in the final analysis, the Mavericks still despised Sun Ce's "recovery ability" and felt that Sun Ce should not be able to fight as hard as the third quarter in the fourth quarter.

Sun Ce's statistics increased to 20 points, 8 boards, 10 assists, 3 blocks and 4 steals, and at the same time, Conley's turnovers reached 4 times, and he stole Conley twice!

The Mavericks almost didn't pass the halftime before the Grizzlies went on a 4-0 run, bringing the margin back to 10 points and leading 93-83.

Conley went back to pick up Ma Simmi's serve and pushed it over, he now regrets that he didn't wait just now, and when Ma Simmy came to the blocking position, he could borrow the block and dismantle, Sun Ce obviously didn't notice that someone came out behind him, this time the blocking and dismantling was possible.

Conley was a little distracted, after half time, facing Sun Ce, who was pressed to the middle circle again, Conley was startled, and subconsciously took a step back, the referee's whistle sounded, and Conley returned!

As soon as Sun Ce rushed up, he hadn't stepped on the small broken steps, and as soon as he stepped off the horse, he saw the other party take a step back - my old Sun is not a hairy face and a thunderous mouth, is it so scary?

But that's a good thing, Conley made 5 mistakes! The assists are 10-8 ahead, Conley has 5 turnovers, and now there is only one steal left for Conley to win the game!

Carlisle had already stepped to the sidelines, directing Boubovis to advance, but there was no timeout or substitution.

It doesn't mean that the situation is unfavorable, so you have to make substitutions, otherwise you will see that the weak or bad side keeps changing people in a game.

Someone has to change it.

Barria has poor stamina, Jason Terry has been exhausted by Tony Allen, and they have a fifth ball-handling guard Azubuuk, a former Warriors explosive player who has long since been scrapped, and a sophomore Dominic Jones...... No, and none of them made it to the activation list.

Boubova really couldn't organize the attack, his solution was to dribble to the front court to find his teammates, and when he saw Nowitzki leaning on Battier, regardless of his position on the field, he passed it.

Nowitzki, who received the ball, really wanted to strangle this unreliable team-handler, such a critical moment for their Mavericks, once the ball didn't score, the opponent could really lock up the win, this guy actually passed like this.

At this time, Masimmi just ran out of the free throw line, originally preparing to block Boibwa, just brought Yi Jianlian out, and Nowitzki, who was high on the left side of the free throw line, was sandwiched by Yi Jianlian and Battier as soon as he received the ball!

Neil gave Boibis a physical confrontation, and Boubo did a very good job of preventing Boibis from receiving the pass, at this time Masimi reacted and cut to the inside, Nowitzki quickly jumped up and passed, and the pass was good, and Masimmi received the ball well, and he took two steps and flew up to dunk the ball......

"Smack"

was rushed in by Sun Ce, who had been prepared for a long time, and slapped a big hat and flew away!

Nowitzki's high position strategy is good, but compared to the Gasol brothers and Garnett, there is still a gap, which is reflected in the field of vision, there is a gap compared to Duncan, after all, he is different from these players, scoring is what he is best at, Conley pulled to the other sideline, Sun Ce was included, Nowitzki didn't see it, and Masimmi didn't notice it.

Paul George, who was defending Marion in the bottom corner of the left corner, grabbed the defensive rebound and immediately passed it to Sun Ce, who had just finished blocking the bottom line, and Sun Ce counterattacked!

The Mavericks are now in a hurry, trying to retreat, including Ma Simmy, who has just been capped, when Sun Ce rushed to the front court, Ma Simmi chased after him, this guy can get 4 years and 64 million for a reason, he is characterized by good physical fitness, rough skills, and at that time it seemed that he had developed the potential to become a double-double player, and he played hard.

Sun Ce rushed all the way to the free throw line, keeping an eye on both sides, Neil and Paul George were stuck to death by Conley and Boobwa, Marion returned to the basket, he didn't have a chance here, Marion and Masimi went back and forth, couldn't shoot.

Sun Ce made a sharp stop at the free throw line, turned around and saw Yi Jianlian, who had just passed the middle circle, and immediately passed it out.

Yi Jianlian just dunked one, and now it's a little hi, the left side of the top arc followed up and received the ball, and Nowitzki, who was on the left side of the three-second zone, hurriedly followed, but Yi Jianlian didn't take the opportunity to break through, but chased after him outside the three-point line and made a jumper......

Paul George rushed in and jumped up, found an opportunity to prepare to make up for the dunk, as long as Yi Jianlian is not three non-sticky or rubbing the frame, he is confident that he can make up the dunk, but Yi Jianlian's current state is indeed okay, facing his template Nuo Tianwang played very well on the night, chasing three points to hit!

96-83, the Grizzlies started the fourth quarter with a wave of 7-0!

In this situation, Carlisle knew that it was useless to call a timeout, he thought that Conley, who could take on the heavy responsibility and did take on the heavy responsibility before the All-Star weekend, and performed well, was suddenly limited in this game, Carlisle wanted to see how much of a disadvantage Conley faced Sun Ce, so that he could plan well before the next meeting and prepare for the playoffs.

As for whether Conley will be beaten to his post and lose confidence? Carlisle didn't worry about this, no, Conley's disapproving expression came again, and Conley, who was slowly advancing, lowered his head slightly, with a cold expression, and looked directly at Sun Ce, his eyes were not afraid, but stared at Sun Ce, wanting to judge any mistakes made by Sun Ce.

In the next two attacks, Conley controlled the ball, and at the beginning of the half, he borrowed Masimmi to block and dismantle, creating a chance for Marion to catch the ball and make a layup, and scored two attacks and one goal, and these two attacks played quite well.

After the Grizzlies scored three goals in a row, Sun Ce and Battier each missed a shot, and the gap was narrowed to 11 points.

However, when it was time for the Mavericks to attack, Conley borrowed and blocked outside the three-point line, and was caught by Sun Ce and Yi Jianlian! Conley wanted to hoist the ball and bet on Ma Simmi's physical fitness, but this time Sun Ce triggered the "food shortage" to jump first, and took the ball off when Conley threw the ball out before it reached the highest.

Steal and counterattack!

Yi Jianlian's quick catch dunk scored two points, and the difference returned to 13 points!

Carlisle wants to see how big Conley's disadvantage is, and this approach is to push Conley into the fire pit! After trying to play two good blocks, he was restrained by Sun Ce trying to find a way, Yi Jianlian's bag clamp is a buff effect, mainly Sun Ce here, and he finishes Ke Conley!

At 6:11 of the 4th quarter, the Mavericks called a timeout and surrendered!

Ma Simmi should have been replaced two minutes ago, with Chandler playing four minutes and Yao Ming playing four minutes, based on the physical exertion of this game, Carlisle arranged the rotation in this way, but Carlisle did not call a timeout or substitution, and only called a timeout when it came to the official timeout.

There is no way, the score difference can't be narrowed, and by the time I played for 4 minutes, it had already stretched to 15 points.

Conley played 34 minutes, got 15 points, 2 rebounds and 10 assists, two assists in the fourth quarter and a half of the fourth quarter, he did a good job of 3 passes, and scored two assists, but more of a mistake and a turnover, two steals in the half quarter, two passes out of bounds, and one return to the court...... 5 turnovers in the fourth quarter and a half!

15+10 was beautiful, but 8 turnovers killed Conley's outstanding performance in the first quarter!

And the one who contributed to all this is - Little Overlord!

Sun Ce, who played 38 minutes, scored 22 points, 11 boards, 12 assists, 4 blocks, 6 steals, and ignored 4 turnovers...... Help the Grizzlies tie the score at 105-90 halfway through the fourth quarter and seal the win!

It was another iconic 4 times 5 data, but the fans guessed the data, but they didn't guess the details, Sun Ce's 4 times 5 this time was actually a steal!

In the end, relying on Sun Ce's 8th triple-double of the new season and the iconic 4 times 5 data, the Grizzlies defeated the Mavericks 118-106, and won 8 consecutive victories in the last 5 opponents were the Nuggets, Thunder, Spurs, 76ers, and Mavericks!
