50+ losses in a single game in the playoffs, which is the 4th time in NBA history.

The last time was in the '09 playoffs, when Ray Allen scored 51 points in a single game and the Celtics lost to the Bulls.

The last time, in the 06 playoffs, Kobe Bryant scored 50 points in a single game, and the Lakers lost to the Suns.

Again, it was the worst playoff point in history, Jordan scored 63 points in a single game, and the Bulls lost to the Celtics.

Sun Ce won the "second in history", scoring 57 points in a single game, and lost to the defending champion Mavericks in the first game of the playoffs!

Fleeing back to the locker room in a gray manner, Sun Ce sat on the toilet and didn't go out.

He has to calm down, although he scored 57 points in today's game, he feels calculated! Because I lost!

During the game, their Grizzlies did not fall into a significant disadvantage, and even when Sun Ce soared in some periods, their Grizzlies still had an advantage.

In the last 55 seconds, their Grizzlies still led by 3 points, but when Jason Terry and Nowitzki stepped up and made a one-man three-pointer, their Grizzlies did not score in the last 55 seconds.

And this, Sun Ce can't blame his teammates, he should be blamed for this!

When the game was played at the back, he already felt that something was wrong, and his teammates slowly couldn't shoot, and he played so well at this point, if others could have a forty percent shooting rate, they wouldn't have lost.

But his teammates' shooting percentage gradually declined from the beginning to about 45 percent, and in the end, except for his grandson, everyone else shot 14 of 42 in total! Only thirty-five percent of the hits.

This is all inseparable from his excessive reliance on his own scoring and wanting to win on his own!

In fact, in the second half of the third quarter, Sun Ce already wanted to start organizing the offense, but it was too late, his teammates began to shoot continuously, and the Mavericks still did not change their defensive methods, but relied on the offensive end to fight against him.

It's already like this, and he has to keep fighting, because there is still a chance to win if he plays like this.

But in the end, the pitcher couldn't shoot at the critical moment, and the reason for this was that he lost to his 57 points!

……

Coach Hollins was worried, not because of the loss in the first game.

Losing the first game, this series was troublesome, but it was almost won, but their coaching staff misjudged and didn't expect the opponent to play like this.

They have always thought that the opponent should use Conley and Barria with the blocking and pick-and-roll of Masimmi, Chandler, Brandon Knight, Marion and others as the core tactics, and Yao Ming and Nowitzki as the diversion point and key ball.

That's the core of the Mavericks' play in the second half of the regular season, and they're not wrong to be prepared for that.

Any team, you will be prepared for this.

But I didn't expect the opponent's tactics to change so much in the playoffs, and because of the changes on the offensive end, the defensive end did a better job than expected, and it was more targeted.

However, in the end, they only lost by three points, and although the loss in the first game was a blow to their Grizzlies, but overall, they can still find a reason to maintain the confidence of their players in the post-game team meeting.

After all, only three points were lost.

What worries Coach Hollins is Sun Ce's emotions, after last night's game, Sun Ce refused all interviews, stayed alone in the bathroom for an hour, didn't even attend the team meeting, and went home directly.

In fact, this is very unexpected by Coach Hollins, as far as he knows about young players, if a young player scores 57 points on 22-of-38 shooting and still loses, he is either angry, unhappy, or dissatisfied with his teammates, and frustrated.

But it shouldn't be Sun Ce's reaction, it seems to be ...... Blame yourself?

Coach Hollins learned from Zu Ge that Sun Ce soaked in the gym after returning home last night, and then lay on the sofa without moving.

Coach Hollins got feedback, Sun Ce just blamed himself and felt that it was his personal problem.

This made Coach Hollins very confused and worried.

If he scored 57 points, Sun Ce would not dare to shoot more...... Coach Hollins thinks he's going crazy!

Sun Ce's mid-range threat brought him excellent offensive opportunities under the basket, which was the key for their Grizzlies against the Mavericks, and Randolph was bound to be severely limited in this series, and Sun Ce was their team's leading scorer!

Worry is worry, Coach Hollins has another headache - he can't understand the psychology of Sun Ce, a guy who left home halfway and entered the NBA, and only began to officially contact basketball.

It is too different from other NBA players who have become famous in high school or even junior high school and elementary school, and those who can enter the NBA are basically basketball geniuses since childhood.

What kind of mind will Sun Ce have, Coach Hollins, who was also a talented player and is accustomed to the psychology of most players in the NBA, can't figure it out!

……

……

Sun Ce's side, after losing last night, tossed himself in the gym for two hours, returned to the sofa exhausted from practice, and slept like that all night.

When he woke up in the morning, the self-blame was gone, and more he learned something.

If you lose the first game, you lose, and it's not a big deal, isn't it just a loss?

And with 57 points, this is considered to be standing at the top of the loss with Boss Joe?

However, Sun Ce felt that Boss Qiao was still powerful, and if he lost, he had to be the one who lost the most dazzling......

Last night's game taught him something that no matter how strong a person is, he can't win.

And he scored 24 points in the first 18 minutes last night, in fact, he scored 24 points in the first 17 minutes, and the offense broke in the 18th minute.

At that time, he felt that it was just his physical strength problem, and he didn't score two goals, so he let the opponent get 4 points and stretched the difference to 6 points.

So he chose to go it alone.

But now he has figured out a lot of things, and he can't do it alone!

The team can play such a good defense, limiting the opponent to only 91 points in the first 47 minutes and 5 seconds, relying on the team, and losing to the opponent on the offensive end is also because the team on their own side did not do a good job.

Indeed, he relied on the opponent's defensive tactics to play well last night, and the opponent didn't expect him to score 57 points, so their Grizzlies had a chance to win, only in the end two three-pointers from Nowitzki and Jason Terry killed the game.

Maybe the Mavericks, too, were desperate for a while, only to be revived on the spot thanks to life-saving three-pointers from Nowitzki and Jason Terry.

But this gave Sun Ce a clear understanding of what a championship-level strong team is.

It's not a single person! Even last season, when Nowitzki was in a state of earth, if he wanted to win, he had to rely on Kidd to organize the offense, and he had to rely on DeSean Stevenson, Kidd, Barria, Marion and others to shoot three points, and DeSean Stevenson, Kidd, Chandler, Marion and others needed to defend......

Otherwise, only Nowitzki's scoring guarantee in the final quarter will not work, and even Nowitzki will not be able to make a key ball in the final quarter at all.

Sun Ce learned from the pain and realized that he was too arrogant and relied too much on the star experience card, and felt that with the star experience card, everything would be worry-free, so he had the regret of last night.

Although it was cool to cut points like that last night, Sun Ce understood that he had to find a balance against a Mavericks team with Yao Ming, Nowitzki, such a good roster of role players, and Carlisle as the head coach.

Last night did have a chance to win, the Mavericks really didn't rely on a single defense to prevent him, he used the high-speed change of direction below the blocking + free throw line, and scored 24 points in the first 17 minutes to really rely on himself, of course, it was also by the containment of his teammates, but at the last moment, the Mavericks had already worn his teammates' hand to death, pinching him so that he couldn't break through, and even the chance to shoot was not good, so he lost.

It's not that they don't have a chance to win, but they have a good chance.

It's just a matter of striking a balance...... But the key is the opponent's defense, how to find a balance?

That's a problem! Big, big problem.

After thinking about it all morning, he found that the methods he thought of might be blocked by the other party, Sun Ce didn't want to think about it for the time being, and prepared to discuss it with his teammates and coaches when the team trained in the afternoon.

After figuring it out, Sun Ce watched the news.

Sure enough, the Mavericks began to be praised on the Internet.

But on his grandson's side, he was also praised badly.

Scoring 57 points against the Mavericks, who defended so well, was indeed amazing, and was compared to Jordan's sophomore playoffs against the Celtics with 63 points, because they all lost.

Moreover, from the perspective of public opinion, his grandson's 57 points were evaluated higher than Jordan's 63 points, because of the fast pace of that era, Jordan's game was tied 115 to 115 in regular time, and Jordan scored 63 points in two overtimes.

In the game between the Grizzlies and the Mavericks, neither team scored more than 100 points, and Sun Ce was a little more efficient in terms of efficiency.

Nowitzki also said in an interview after the game: "I haven't played against Jordan in his prime, I don't think it could be more terrifying, if I hadn't made a three-pointer with Jason tonight, I think I would have had a nightmare." ”

Although he was praised badly, Sun Ce understood that it was related to the opponent's defensive strategy.

……

……

Having a veteran, and a former MVP veteran with All-Star prowess, is a blessing for any team.

After learning from Coach Hollins that Sun Ce blamed himself, Mr. Na began to greet his teammates to get Sun Ce back up.

The training arranged by the coaching staff was to meet at 1 p.m., but Nash called his teammates to the arena in the morning to discuss how to "coax" Sun Ce.

It's just coaxing, they didn't expect Sun Ce to blame himself for scoring 57 points, which made his teammates who didn't play well last night also blame themselves.

On a certain level, after losing last night, Sun Ce closed himself for a few hours, which made the Grizzlies team more cohesive, and Sun Ce was also a blessing in disguise, and his influence in the team was further improved.

It is true that Sun Ce is too different from others, if he gets 57 points with a high shooting rate but loses, he will more or less blame his teammates, but Sun Ce is blaming himself.

This makes my teammates feel so guilty!

However, Nash invited his teammates to a meal at noon, decided how to make Sun Ce happy, and when he returned to the stadium to wait for Sun Ce to come, he found that Sun Ce had arrived.

Moreover, Sun Ce seemed to be happily singing rap that they couldn't appreciate......
