997.The Decisive Decision (Part 2)

Just as Sun Ce didn't expect a small lineup to be sent on the opposite side, the TV commentator was also surprised by the Thunder's substitution, but what was even more surprising was that the Grizzlies actually sent a run-and-bomb lineup in the fourth quarter!

They all thought that the two teams would choose to play steadily, and the Grizzlies had a 10-point lead and should have sent a defensive lineup in the fourth quarter.

The Thunder should choose to use the Grizzlies' defensive lineup to take advantage of the Grizzlies' poor offense to defend the Grizzlies' offense worse, and then rely on the individual abilities of the three young stars on the outside to score and try to chase points.

As a result, the two teams invariably switched to an attacking lineup.

The Thunder's choice didn't make sense, the Grizzlies' choice made even more so on the side, and the TV commentator's analysis during the break was slapped in the face again.

But the fans in front of the TV were very happy and liked to watch this unexpected situation, and after the two teams started to fight each other, the fans were even more excited!

Much better than the last two defensive battles in the last quarter!

Although the playoffs are also very good to watch defense, because the main defense is to see the stars against Biao, you can see the singles, but occasionally change the taste, or the scene is such a beautiful change, the fans are naturally happy.

But that doesn't include the vast majority of fans at Ford Center.

Because the point difference has not narrowed, the Thunder team will chase a few points, and the Grizzlies will be able to continue immediately! Both teams were on the rise, and the Thunder couldn't really close the gap.

In fact, Thunder head coach Brooks has his own ideas for this arrangement in the fourth quarter, and wants to strengthen the offense when the Grizzlies send a defensive lineup.

In the third quarter, the Thunder team didn't think about Sun Ce's low-post bag, because Durant had been defending Sun Ce very well, but he didn't expect this, and occasionally he was passed to Jordan Jr. by Sun Ce and deducted one.

Based on Brooks' understanding of the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies should have a defensive lineup in the fourth quarter, and if Sun Ce fell to the low post and let the people who defended Tony Allen go to the pinch Sun Ce, they were all crowded under the basket, and the threat of Tony Allen cutting into was also avoided.

But I didn't expect to be judged by the other party!

Now we can only bet that the offense will play better.

In terms of talent and strength, it must be that the five-man group on the Thunder's side is stronger, but in terms of cooperation, the Grizzlies are much better in terms of fast break, and the two teams are almost equal in the fourth quarter.

With Nash and Sun Ce as the core, Battier, Jordan Jr., and Yi Jianlian partnering in pairs on the inside, Klay Thompson and Paul George as pitchers, the Grizzlies' firepower has always been guaranteed.

The Thunder team is athletic and talented, and Durant only shot 7 times in the first half, with no physical problems, and offensive firepower is also guaranteed.

However, the scores of the two teams are not quite the same, on the Thunder side, Durant rarely has a chance to shoot, and he is caught when he receives the ball, but there are a lot of passing opportunities, of course, Durant is not greedy for credit, he passed the pass, got 7 assists in a single quarter, refreshing his personal single-quarter assist high, plus 3 assists in the third quarter, Durant's 10 assists in the half set a new personal career half-time assist record.

Durant scored 6 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists in the final quarter, plus Westbrook's 12 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, Harden scored 9 points in a single quarter, and others scored, the Thunder scored 36 points in a single quarter.

On the Grizzlies' side, Sun Ce focuses on scoring, supplemented by setters, and the Thunder team will not defend like the Grizzlies, so they defend normally, and it would be good to be able to defend after running.

When the Grizzlies were forced into a positional battle by the Thunder, Sun Ce attracted the pinch in a low position and divided the ball, scoring 15 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists in a single quarter, helping the team score 34 points in a single quarter!

When the final whistle blew, Durant looked at the final score of 120-112 on the big screen and saw Sun Ce's 41 points, 13 boards, 11 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal......

He Du also got a triple-double, 30 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists, this was the first time in his career that he got a triple-double in the playoffs, but he was crushed by Sun Ce!

He had 30+ triple-doubles, and Sun Ce got 40+ triple-doubles.

His Thunder team is on the verge of being eliminated from the Grizzlies 1-3!

On the other side, Sun Ce, who heard the final whistle, and his teammates celebrated wildly, 3 to 1, and got the match point!

And the system prompt also came, and his grandson temporarily scored 41 points, surpassing Durant's highest 39 points in this series!

In terms of triple-double, he also 1-0 Westbrook!

……

……

"As I said, we're going to the West Finals soon, and the third game was just an accident, but we're not going to let the accident happen again."

"The opponent for the next round? I didn't think about that, anyone can do it, I hope it's the Spurs, we've beaten the Lakers, it would be even better to play the Spurs in the playoffs, and we're just one of the teams that have won a championship in the West since the new century and we're just going to beat the Spurs. ”

"A third playoff triple-double of at least 40 points? I don't really care about that, it's good to win...... I've had nine playoff triple-doubles and I'm on the verge of tying Big Birdie's 10 triple-doubles? It's an honor, Mr. Bird is my idol, I've been ...... since I was a kid Ahem, it's a pity that he retired before I even went to kindergarten. ”

“……”

……

On May 24, Sun Ce and his teammates returned to Memphis, and when they arrived at the airport, they were notified that they would be interviewed by BBC TV.

This can't be pushed off, Sun Ce was ready, came to the FedEx Arena for an exclusive interview, and after being asked some questions about the UK, he finally asked a few questions about last night's game.

Basketball, is one of the most watched games in the Olympic Games, London will be held this summer, the United Kingdom is eager to become the United States, Japan, South Korea like the Chinese tourism hot market, so the Chinese men's basketball team is very concerned, not only Sun Ce, Yi Jianlian also accepted an exclusive interview, has returned to China to communicate with the national team The future president of the Blue Association also accepted an exclusive interview in China.

As Sun Ce's girlfriend, Lily Collins was also interviewed, and Sun Ce knew that this girl was a British and American dual national, because of his relationship, he also received an invitation from the British Ministry of Culture to serve as the honorary image ambassador of the British men's basketball team, that is, just use a photo of Lily Collins and appear on camera if possible.

The British men's basketball team has not played in the Olympics for more than 60 years, and it is really not popular in the UK, and the British men's basketball team is not as good as his grandson, Kobe, James, Yao Ming...... Even Maddie and Carter alone came out with a high popularity in the UK.

After finishing the interview, Zu Ge and Lily Collins went home first, and Sun Ce stayed in the arena and did not go home, preparing for tomorrow's game in the afternoon.

While eating lunch, Sun Ce brushed up on the news, and sure enough, their game against the Thunder last night became a hot topic.

His pre-game "please drink my bathwater" provocative action, his 40+ triple-double crushed Durant's 30+ triple-double, the Thunder lost an inch in the final quarter and was predicted by the Grizzlies, his 9 playoff triple-doubles tied with Chamberlain for fifth all-time, behind Magic, James, Kidd, and Bird, and only two triple-doubles with Bird and only one triple-double with Kidd......

The 76ers' win over the Bulls was also highly discussed, with Evans recording his second career playoff triple-double and leading the team to a 3-1 run over Rose, who had a better regular season performance.

Last night's two games by the four youth teams even stole some of the limelight from the Heat vs. Knicks, Lakers vs. Spurs tonight.

In addition, this morning, the voting for the best team has ended, and the two best team lists will be announced tomorrow, which is also a matter of great concern.

Sun Ce is very concerned about the game between the Lakers and the Spurs tonight, the game between the Heat and the Knicks in the East is purely more lively, the Knicks have seized the advantage of the inside, if the Knicks really upset the Heat, whether they play the Bulls or the 76ers in the East, they can't be opponents, so they just restrain the Heat, and they can't be completely suppressed, and the home court advantage that they finally grabbed was snatched back, and the game itself of these two teams has not much to see at the technical and tactical level.

As for the Lakers and the Spurs, the Lakers' ability to create mid-range shots and cuts, and the Spurs' ability to create three-point shots and passes, Sun Ce wants to take a good look.

This is the strongest point of the Lakers and Spurs, and it is a place where he wants to learn while being jealous.

Their Grizzlies can average 102 points per game in the regular season this season, thanks to Nash, otherwise it will be difficult to break 100 points per game, Nash will always retire one day, Sun Ce wants to learn more.

But the focus is still on tomorrow night's game, Sun Ce wants to win the Thunder team as soon as possible, so that he can study the Lakers and Spurs well, both teams must study well, and it seems that at present, including this season, at least three years, these two teams may be their strongest opponents for the Grizzlies to break out of the West.

Like Sun Ce's thoughts, in the team meeting that started at 1:30 p.m., Coach Hollins made it clear that tomorrow night's game must be won.

This is exactly what the Grizzlies players want, now the momentum is like a rainbow, and they just won a big battle, and they don't want to play the younger players on the other side, they are also young players who have grown up to the present, knowing that young players have momentum but are also vulnerable to blows, now is the best opportunity, if you really want to be robbed of a home court by the other side, it will be difficult to suppress the Thunder team that is rising again.

Taking advantage of this opportunity to pursue the victory is the king!

But the desperate desire to win, but it does not mean chaos, the Grizzlies training is still based on defense, steady and steady, the offensive end is discussed by several players who are responsible for organizing the offense, and then practice with the players who need to cooperate, everything is in order.

After half a day of training, Sun Ce became more and more confident that they would once again appear on the stage of the Western Finals! Unlike last season, after entering the second round, everyone won a game and rushed forward, now, they still maintain their sharpness, but they are calm!
