Not again!

After the start of the second half, the Thunder attacked first, Westbrook looked at Klay Thompson on the opposite side to defend him alone, and the rest of the Grizzlies, Sun Ce, Jimmy Butler, Battier, and Gasol Jr. tried their best to defend and change defenses, but not to pinch him, but to go around and not let his teammates catch the ball!

Westbrook felt humiliated!

He felt that the Grizzlies on the opposite side looked down on him too much, and in order to prevent Durant and Ellis from scoring, he actually let him play singles like this!

Klay Thompson's defense is very good, Westbrook knows, but there is still a gap with Paul George, even Paul George can't guard him, and he dares to defend like this!

Singles are singles, and the soul of the Mamba in Westbrook's heart is burning!

Sun Ce and Westbrook continue to open the match, the Thunder team will not let Sun Ce play alone, and Sun Ce will not think about going to singles, blocking, running, and teammates' setters He cuts in...... Everything that should be used is used.

On the Westbrook side, his scoring efficiency with blocking and pick-and-roll is not as efficient as directly breaking through and impacting the basket.

Sun Ce has been looking for opportunities, when Westbrook is high, he sneaks in to make up for the defense, although Klay Thompson is not as good as Paul George's defense, but there is one thing he is very good at, that is, he is not easy to lose position, although the inside interference shooting is not as good as Paul George, but from the other direction to Westbrook threatened.

Westbrook wants Klay Thompson to lose his defensive position and has to concentrate on finding space to break through, and Sun Ce is in a position where he can interfere with Westbrook's sudden arrival to the basket.

When Westbrook wanted to take the opportunity to organize an attack in the next round, Sun Ce honestly cooperated with his teammates to cut off Westbrook's passing route.

There is an important prerequisite for such a defense, and that is that Westbrook will not play without the ball.

The Thunder need Ellis as the second outside ball handler, because Durant's ball handling ability is still average, and when Westbrook can't open it, Ellis is very important to hold the ball, and Ellis is stronger than Harden last season, so this season the Thunder played so well and dominated the top spot in the West for a long time.

But when Nadwisbroke can't open up, can't guarantee a score, and can't provide an assist for his teammates, let Ellis focus on the backup option to make the difference.

However, now Westbrook's single-play effect, let Durant play is nothing more than that!

In the face of Westbrook's singles, Sun Ce on the Grizzlies' side was struggling to maintain the score, and he had to rely on interfering with Westbrook's shooting from time to time to limit Westbrook's scoring, and Sun Ce helped the Grizzlies to tighten the score.

It's just that, although they have the advantage on the court, Thunder head coach Brooks feels that he is being led by the nose by the other side, and their Thunder team's style of play is completely different from usual.

During the official timeout in the third quarter, Thunder head coach Brooks tried to let Ellis or Durant carry the ball to attack, and as a result, the Thunder led by one point from 79-78 to quickly turned into a four-point deficit at 79-83.

When Westbrook didn't hold the ball, the Grizzlies directly ignored Westbrook's mid-range shots and directly chose to pinch the ball carrier.

Westbrook has a characteristic similar to Paul and James, no off-ball ability!

So, Thunder head coach Brooks was ruthless and let Westbrook play alone!

Originally, Brooks preferred Westbrook, thinking that a player like Westbrook would one day become a player like Kobe, and he could lead the team to a championship.

And Westbrook saw that his teammates didn't score three attacks, and he had already scored 31 points, and his personal score surpassed Sun Ce by 1 point, so he decided to do it himself!

Who's afraid of whom! Sun Ce can beat his opponent with fifty or sixty points, why can't he!

In the face of Paul George's single defense who returned to the court, Westbrook played more resolutely, only the basket in his eyes, and successfully shot 5 times in 6 rounds, 3 of 5 shots, plus 2 of 1 free throws, Westbrook played a wave of 7-4 alone, chasing the score to 86-87, with only 1 point left!

Sun Ce and his teammates obviously felt the change in Westbrook's mentality, before Westbrook only chose singles according to the game situation, but there was still a pass in his heart, and once Sun Ce was stealing and counterattacking, but now, Westbrook doesn't seem to have any idea of passing.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Ce took advantage of the blocking and demolition to break through to the bottom line and faked the turn of the hook hand to cause the defensive Ibaka to foul and walked to the free throw line, signaling to Coach Hollins, Coach Hollins was shocked and replaced!

The Grizzlies have a lineup of Son Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Prince, and Gasol Jr.

Sun Ce scored two hook free throws, stretching the difference to three points again.

Westbrook saw this point difference and was ready to continue another wave of impact, and he felt that he would soon have to rely on his own ability to tie or even overtake the score!

Just when Westbrook burst to the basket with strong confidence and made a layup, he suddenly saw Sun Ce rushing in! Westbrook hurriedly pulled the rod, and Sun Ce didn't have a hat for this ball, but Westbrook temporarily pulled the rod and threw a throw!

Sun Ce received the defensive rebound, fell into the positional battle, and after going to the frontcourt, he and Paul George blocked and distributed it to Paul George, who was not greedy, and when he was defended by Westbrook, he gave it to Klay Thompson, who got a chance in the middle distance on the right side, Klay Thompson hit a long two-point shot, and the difference came to 5 points!

This ball has made Westbrook bleed! He felt like he had fallen for the tricks of the bald coach opposite! It was the bald coach who just changed!

With 37 points, Westbrook, who is full of confidence in himself, continues to play singles, he has forgotten "selflessness" at this moment, forgetting the triple-double, and he has to turn the game around by himself, and the soul of the Mamba is infused all over his body!

And the Grizzlies, the execution on the defensive end is very strong, Klay Thompson defends Westbrook, Gasol Jr., Sun Ce, Paul George, whoever has the opportunity to help the defense will decisively help the defense, and all three are very capable, and they caught Westbrook to interfere when he shot.

The consciousness of the two teams is in different dimensions, the Grizzlies are ready to defend Westbrook, while Westbrook is passively playing the current style of play and has lost its cool.

In the last 5 offenses of the Thunder team in the third quarter, Westbrook was hatted by Sun Ce once, was capped by Paul George once, was interfered with by Gasol Jr. once, and made a mistake because he wanted to turn around to avoid the defense and step on the line once, although it became a 2+1 foul caused Gasol Jr., but only scored 3 points in 3 minutes!
