961. Why don't they fight? (Part 2)
Every time Sun Ce shoots a three-pointer, Love grabs the rebound under the basket, of course, just like that, and lets Battier and Gasol Jr. pinch him and create a rebounding opportunity for Brad Miller.
But from the beginning of the second quarter to the present, Sun Ce has made 4 of 6 three-pointers!
In fact, when Sun Ce scored the third three-pointer after the timeout, Lefu didn't feel anything, but the fourth three-pointer came immediately.
Lefu had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, the bad premonition came true immediately!
On the Timberwolves side, Brad Miller should pass to Wesley Johnson, who cut in with Love's blocking, Wesley Johnson received the ball and scored two points, and Sun Ce once again received the ball and hit a three-point shot!
Sun Ce's current idea is very simple, if you throw in, you will enter, and if you can't throw, you will pull down.
The decision seemed wrong at first, but now it has become like this, simply break the jar and break it, and there is nothing to fear!
He also found that this kind of play actually works better, because although the Timberwolves have defensive enthusiasm, in the first half of the season in the case of Rubio, they were also cultivated by Adelman to have some defensive awareness, but overall it is still very poor, the early defense is basically supported by Rubio, Wesley Johnson, and Pekovic.
Now although the Timberwolves have the enthusiasm to change defenses, they have no defensive cooperation, and he can have a chance to catch the ball as long as he uses the help of blocking.
To talk about tonight's game, what does Sun Ce think is the biggest shortcoming compared to the Timberwolves when they were behind before? It's that fearless mentality.
He didn't dare to shoot recklessly in the first half of the quarter, and when he was caught and filled, he would choose to pass it out to his teammates in the open position, but Mr. Tony didn't seize the opportunity tonight, and the inside rebounds were actually not guaranteed, whether it was Milicic or Pekovic and Brad Miller, they all relied on Lefou's containment to grab a lot of rebounds, and this was caused by his grandson's strategy.
But now, Sun Ce is fearless, temporarily has the top three-point of the S-level, the strongest in the game, stronger than the A+ three-point Lefou, plus a good hand since the first quarter, and the Timberwolves' defense is not very good, Sun Ce has scored 3 three-pointers in a row, and has already made 5 three-pointers!
Watching Sun Ce shoot a three-pointer and immediately return to defense, Lefu picked up the ball and sent it to DJ Augustin.
Although DJ Augustin was waived by the Bobcats, who refused to execute his final year of $3.25 million contract, the strength is actually quite good, and the Timberwolves gave up Reedno before because of the signing of the younger point guard.
After Lefu arrived in the frontcourt, he received the ball in one step inside the three-point line and shot with two points...... Also enter!
Looking at the creation of a two-point lead again, Lefu breathed a sigh of relief, his teammates feel good, he feels good, he can borrow himself to create opportunities for teammates to let teammates shoot.
When it came to the Grizzlies' offense, Sun Ce continued to borrow Klay Thompson's off-ball block to receive a pass from Reednow, this time Beasley and Wesley Johnson immediately came up to Sun Ce, although Sun Ce broke the jar, but he was not stupid, and distributed the ball to Klay Thompson, who pulled to the top arc after blocking and dismantling, who received the ball and shot a three-point shot...... Also enter!
This ball is very crucial!
began to wrap up Sun Ce's three-point package, which proved that the Timberwolves really wanted to win, even Beasley desperately wanted to win, worked hard to defend, the inside line was blocked, Mr. Na and Randolph, who could shoot in the middle of the shot, did not play, and Gasol Jr. had to go to the card position to prevent Lefu from grabbing the rebound and chose to shrink under the basket, at this time Sun Ce very much needed a teammate who could shoot three points.
Klay Thompson was also under pressure, but he took the pressure and threw in!
With Klay Thompson's three-point shot, the two teams officially kicked off the offensive battle!
Indeed, due to Sun Ce's strategic mistakes, the Timberwolves' offense, the Grizzlies can't defend at present.
Defense is a part of the strong point and the weak defense of the opponent, but the Timberwolves have nothing else, the talented men are one after another, and they have played with momentum, and the spurs can be beaten by the 7-man Timberwolves who scored double-doubles 126-115, and the Grizzlies have a strange rotation strategy tonight, and it is indeed impossible to prevent it.
But now, the Splash Brothers on the Grizzlies' side are making waves!
The two teams played very anxiously, and the Timberwolves just took the lead, and the Grizzlies immediately pressed back with a three-point shot, but the Grizzlies really couldn't suppress the imposing Timberwolves, and after they took a 2-4 point lead, the Timberwolves quickly launched a wave of counterattacks.
Sun Ce doesn't care so much now, he throws when he receives the ball, and passes to Klay Thompson when he is pinched, and only finds Klay Thompson to block and dismantle.
In the 9th minute of the second quarter, Sun Ce threw the 6th three-pointer of the single quarter, and at 11 minutes and 37 seconds, he threw the 7th three-pointer of the single-quarter......
At the end of the half, Sun Ce got 41 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists!
72-73, one point behind going into the second half.
At halftime, Coach Hollins made it clear that Nash, Tony Allen, Gasol Jr., and Randolph would not play.
The game has been played so chaotic that it is impossible to control the rhythm or something, and now let these four bigwigs go up and disrupt the battle...... It's better to let Sun Ce fight casually.
No, just play 41 points in the first half and 30 points in the second quarter.
At the beginning of the third quarter, the lineup of Sun Ce, Neil, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, and Aaron Gray came on.
On the Timberwolves' side, the starting lineup of Wayne Ellington, Webster, Wesley Johnson, Love, and Pekovic reappeared.
The Timberwolves attacked first, and the fans in the stadium let out a deafening boo.
Hearing this boo, Lefou, who received the ball in the low post, was under a lot of pressure.
Sun Ce is under a lot of pressure, and Lefu is also under pressure, and now Sun Ce and the other people's cognition has been deviated, Sun Ce is full of pressure, and from time to time he is annoyed that the strategy at the beginning was wrong.
But the fans at the scene watched their soaring scores very highly, Sun Ce scored 30 points in a single quarter! It's horrible! As a fan, it's cool to watch.
Lefu's mentality is also a little explosive, every time they open up a little difference, they will be beaten back by Sun Ce with a three-pointer, and it is not easy to catch up with the score that was overtaken, Sun Ce immediately made another layup or three-point shot.
Withstanding the pressure, Lefu scored two points in the face of Yi Jianlian's low-post hook.
Before Lefu shot this time, the Grizzlies didn't have a pinch, Sun Ce also made adjustments, although he didn't have much excitement about his 41 points in the half, but he still knew about it, Lefu had 22 points, 9 boards and 7 assists in the half, and he was no longer afraid of Lefu scoring, so he made defensive adjustments.
didn't go to the serve, Sun Ce ran straight to the frontcourt, 72-75, and the difference came to 3 points.
Neil advanced to the front court and passed to Yi Jianlian, who was pulled to the high position to face Lefu with a breakthrough advantage, Sun Ce came out around the bottom line, Aaron Gray blocked Wesley Johnson who was chasing the defense very well, Pekovic changed the defense, did not keep up, Sun Ce's speed temporarily exploded to the S pole, all the way to the sideline, Yi Jianlian divided the ball in the high position, Sun Ce received the ball and shot three points......
Lefu shrank back for the first time, thinking that Sun Ce should not enter again, there are 7 of them...... Then you see the ball fall straight into the box.
Sun Ce's side hurriedly retreated, even if he couldn't prevent the other party's hand that had already been thrown, he still had to work harder.
However, the mentality in the forest is about to explode!
It's been tied again!
Love arrived in the front court and took the ball directly from outside the three-point line...... Miss!
Sun Ce guarded the rebound and handed it to Neil, continued to run, Yi Jianlian pulled it out for Sun Ce to block and dismantle, the Timberwolves were no longer dead guarding the basket, Sun Ce saw Lefu change defense, and immediately cut in, when Neil broke through Wayne Ellington, he saw Sun Ce cut in, and immediately passed over, Sun Ce cut inside, attracted Pekovic to make up the defense and jumped and threw the ball to the left side of the three-second zone, Aaron Gray received the ball and scored two points.
Sun Ce can now shoot, make up for defense, grab rebounds when he can, cut in when he has the opportunity, and devote himself to the game, without caring about the score difference, without caring about the emotional changes of opponents or teammates.
In the 3rd minute of the third quarter, after catching the ball and turning over for three three-point shots, Sun Ce felt that he was a little weak in shooting, and hurriedly shot a physical potion.
Immediately afterwards, because Sun Ce didn't stick to three points in the last round, the Timberwolves simply let him go after he received the ball, blocked the basket and others, and Sun Ce hit another three-point shot!
9 threes!
The Timberwolves just relied on Sun Ce's baseline jumper after a three-point jump shot to narrow the gap to two points, and Sun Ce opened the gap again and again with a three-pointer, and this time it was 5 points!
What's the other trick? Continue to block Sun Cebei, and then work the offensive end!
Sun Ce continued to look for opportunities to shoot on the offensive end, and he didn't care if he didn't, anyway, he was more than a dozen points ahead of Lefu, and the whole team could score, and he was happy to see that he was being pinched more and more times, and his teammates seemed to shoot well.
What hurts is defense, sister-in-law and teacher Tony didn't play, and the defense is really not good.
In the 10th minute of the third quarter, Sun Ce's 10th three-pointer was belated.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Sun Ce came up and advanced to the front court and made his 11th three-pointer.
In the 2nd minute and 26 seconds of the fourth quarter, Paul George cut the ball in a counterattack, and Sun Ce hit a three-point shot and scored the 12th three-point shot of the game.
In the 5th minute and 33rd minute of the fourth quarter, after Sun Ce missed two consecutive three-point shots, he slipped out of the baseline and hit a three-point shot in the bottom corner......
Just as Sun Ce was about to try to retreat, the Timberwolves called a timeout.
Sun Ce watched Love walk to the sidelines and put on training clothes, Wayne Ellington, Beasley, Wesley Johnson, Milicic, Pekovic, these players who played very well also put on training clothes, and the Timberwolves sent a pure bench lineup, Sun Ce was a little confused, what's wrong, don't play?
