1176. Fatal Blow! (4th Ticket Request)

The Mavericks called the last timeout in overtime!

Carter watched as he finally managed to shoot a one-on-one three-pointer against Klay Thompson, and was looking forward to defending it and scoring another shot to seal the win.

But Sun Ce blocked and dismantled Chandler's backward three-point shot to tie the score, but on their Mavericks' side, Marion cut into a layup and was hatted down by Sun Ce, and then Klay Thompson followed up with a reckless counterattack to chase down the three-point score!

Looking at the Grizzlies' backcourt double gun, one of the best two three-point combinations in the league today, Carter feels so powerless!

I've been in such a situation before!

In the previous game against the Warriors, Curry and Harden made 13 three-pointers in a single day, six of which came in the fourth quarter, and the Mavericks didn't know how to pick up that three-point rain.

Curry averaged 3.6 three-point shots per game this season, Harden averaged 2.4 three-point shots per game this season, and the two combined could make 6 three-pointers per game;

Of course, the Grizzlies' overall three-point team and the Warriors can't compare, Sun Ce and Klay Thompson combined to shoot an average of 6.5 three-pointers per game, but the team averaged only 9.3 three-pointers per game, and the Warriors averaged 10.5 three-pointers per game, the league's most three-point gap is relatively large, and the Heat team averaged 10.1 three-pointers per game, Sun Ce and Klay Thompson both shot 70% of the Grizzlies' three-pointers, and the remaining three-pointers were also concentrated on Yi Jianlian, Paul George, Nash, and Battier.

It's just that once Sun Ce throws it away tonight, Klay Thompson throws it away, Klay Thompson throws it away, and Sun Ce then has a high probability of throwing, which makes the opponent a little broken.

Watching the Grizzlies and Mavericks game in front of the TV, the coaching staff and stars of other teams all have a common opinion - you can't let the Grizzlies' interior offense open, once the interior offense is opened, Sun Ce and Klay Thompson have more three-point opportunities, it's simply unstoppable!

In the Christmas battle and tonight's game, those opponents were quite desperate to find that Sun Ce's three points had improved again!

Especially the three points after blocking and dismantling the top arc, Sun Ce shot 4 of 9 tonight, with a 44 percent shooting rate, plus a three-point shot on the right sideline, Sun Ce's three-point performance in 5 of 10 shots in a single game, a large number of shots and a 50 percent three-point shooting rate, it makes people's scalps tingle to watch.

Klay Thompson, whose three-point performance has improved significantly this season compared to his rookie year, has also made many superstars blush, such as Paul and James.

Who wouldn't want such a top-notch shooter who has almost no ball in his possession but can guarantee a 41 percent three-point shooting percentage? This season, Klay Thompson has started to compete with Yao Ming, Ellis, Louis Williams, Jamal Crawford and others for the best sixth man! It's only second grade!

The two teams took advantage of the timeout to make substitutions, and the Mavericks replaced the physically exhausted Chandler, who had just made a bad effort to change the defense after the block, and replaced Yao Ming and Nowitzki to ensure the offense.

On the Grizzlies' side, Paul George played 39 minutes tonight and was the player with the most minutes on the team except for Sun Ce, and was replaced to rest, Battier was also replaced, and Jimmy Butler, Klay Thompson, and Prince were substituted to partner Sun Ce and Randolph.

There are many young and energetic players, which is the biggest asset of the Grizzlies.

……

After the timeout, the Mavericks didn't give up!

Marion, Nowitzki, and Carter opened the space, Conley hoisted the ball to Yao Ming, Yao Ming held high and singled Randolph turned and hit a shot, 113-114, and the Mavericks narrowed the gap to one point.

After the goal, Yao Ming struggled to run back, Sun Ce sent the ball to Jimmy Butler, not in a hurry, the "splash momentum" of the 1 in 5 trigger probability was triggered, and he had to look for better three-point opportunities for this ball.

In the frontcourt, Jimmy Butler passed the ball to Sun Ce, Sun Ce suffered a single loss in the face of Marion's defense, Marion is almost 35 years old, and has an average of 12.2 points, 7 boards, 2.4 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.9 blocks per game, in 2010, Marion completed a 3-year 27 million contract extension to 2014, people felt that Cuban had a brain pump, giving a 31-year-old Marion such a big contract, and now I know how smart this renewal is.

Marion, who is almost 35 years old, is the most physical one in the Mavericks' starting lineup......

Sun Ce saw Yao Ming guarding Randolph under the basket, and decisively looked for Randolph to block and dismantle.

Marion was blocked by Randolph and hurriedly went around the block, Yao Ming couldn't keep up with Sun Ce's speed, and Nowitzki also shrank from the bottom corner Prince, who was much worse than Battier's three-pointer.

But Sun Ce was obviously borrowing and dismantling, but he did pull the ball and dribble on a large scale! When Randolph blocked Marion and Marion went around the block, Sun Ce did not move to the right side to highlight Yao Ming, but at the moment when Marion began to go around the block, he suddenly pulled a step to the left side, and shot three points on the left side of the top arc!

"The splash momentum is triggered at level 1, and the dribbling impact of the host's three-point shooting is greatly reduced......"

"The ball blocking expert level 4 triggers, the host chooses a three-point shot within 1 second, and the three-point evaluation is temporarily increased by two small grades......"

The A-level three-point shot was temporarily upgraded to S-, and Sun Ce's three-point shot that was not in rhythm was not affected by the big move horizontally, and he hit a three-point shot on the left side of the top arc!

6 out of 11!

Sun Ce's three-point shot put the fans in manic mode, and also gave the Mavericks a fatal blow!

14 of 26 shots, Sun Ce slashed 45 points!

1 minute 01 seconds left! The Mavericks trailed by 4 points 113-117, originally the Mavericks wanted to try their best to block the three points and grind slowly, Yao Ming recovered some physical strength, and it was easier to play Randolph, which could steadily guarantee the offense.

But in 61 seconds, to let Yao Ming chase 4 points with a low-post single, or slowly play low-post when Sun Ce scored two three-pointers in a row...... Carlisle hurriedly signaled Carter, Conley, and Nowitzki to play a three-point strategy.

However, Conley and Marion's blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation passed to Carter's three-point miss, Sun Ce chased very tightly and successfully interfered, Yao Ming did not make a basket, and Randolph guarded the defensive rebound.

Looking back, Sun Ce took advantage of his and Klay Thompson's three-point threat to pass to Prince on the side of the three-second zone, and Prince received the ball and hit a layup, 119-113, and the Grizzlies sealed the win!

With Conley and Carter missing two consecutive singles three-pointers, the Grizzlies went 121-113 and overtime with a score of 16-7, beating the Mavericks by 8 points and improving their record to 19-6!
