1201. Goal! Goal! Still a goal! (7th full 1400
When the Warriors saw that the official timeout was coming, they defended with all their strength, wanting to prevent the Grizzlies, and then called a timeout. They wanted to use tactical cooperation to reduce the point difference to 5 points or less after the official timeout came back.
Sun Ce's other positions have been blocked. Relying on desperate flanking, switching defenses, and supplementary defenses, no one else on the Grizzlies team had a good shot. Paul George dribbled the ball and found that Sun Ce was empty!
Right bottom corner!
In that area, Sun Ce has only taken 5 shots so far this season and made 1 of 5 shots. It is a place that Sun Ce does not like to go to, but this time Sun Ce went to 1
Paul George didn't even think about it, and immediately passed the ball towards Sun Ce. Landry, who switched to Sun Ce, retreated to the mid-range area of the baseline where Sun Ce hooked the mid-range shot, ready to block Sun Ce from breaking through the baseline or moving to the end.
A mid-range hook from the line.
However, after receiving the ball, Sun Ce did not break through the baseline, nor did he even move to a higher position to shoot from the sideline, where Harden could make up for it at any time. Sun Ce turned directly to face the direction of the baseline, used his left foot to fight, and raised his right foot.
Bring the ball to the right side of your body, parallel to your shoulders...
As soon as this action came out, many fans at the scene stood up. An incredible idea came to the Warriors, and then, the idea came true!
Sun Ce made a sideways hook three-pointer from the right corner...
The ball slid through a beautiful arc, hit the inside of the left edge of the basket, passed the frame, and Sun Ce hit a three-pointer with a hook from the bottom corner!
The head coaches on both sides had completely different reactions. Coach Hollins punched and called out Nurse, while Mark Jackson sprayed a word starting with "s" and then used another word starting with "s" to call a timeout at the referee.
Accompanied by manic cheers at the scene, Sun Ce made 4 of 4 three-pointers in the first half of the quarter, raising his personal number of three-pointers to 8!
After entering the timeout, Curry still looked at the right corner. Sun Ce's baseline hook and mid-range shot was already difficult to guard. Now he crossed the baseline and made a two-point hook, directly extending beyond the three-point line!
If you practice this point correctly, how should you defend this point besides not letting Sun Ce catch the ball here?
When this guy hooked, the ball went out of bounds! The key is his long arms with a wingspan of 220 centimeters!
Still 10 points behind, Coach Hollins made the right bet by not calling a timeout this time!
…
Sun Ce relied on himself to increase the total number of three-pointers made by him and Clay to 10, leading Curry and Harden 10 to 6... Curry and Harden didn't know that Sun Ce wanted to compete with them.
It's a three-pointer, so what matters is not that, but the 10-point difference.
The key point is that no one would have thought that Sun Ce wanted to fight for three-pointers tonight, because he was so accurate, shooting 8 out of 10 three-pointers. No one thought there was a problem with him shooting more, and he should shoot more at this time.
After the timeout, the Grizzlies' lineup of Nash, Klay Thompson, Sun Ce, Yi Jianlian, and Lopez Jr. appeared again.
For the Warriors, Curry and Harden continue to play, and the lineup of Richard Jefferson, Landry, and David Lee comes on.
The Warriors attack, Curry asks for the ball from Harden, Harden immediately passes it over, and Curry wants a single!
Sun Ce tightly guarded a distance of about 70 centimeters in front of Curry. With his size advantage, he was able to cover Curry's three-point space.
However, this distance also gave Curry a better chance to make moves. With his excellent sense of rhythm and three-point threat, Curry made a change of direction to the left, and as Curry expected, Sun Ce was tricked into moving to the right.
, Curry immediately pulled the ball and pulled it back to the right.
Curry could see from this shot that Sun Ce's power was too old and he couldn't make up for it. However, Sun Ce caught up with Curry at about the same speed as Curry's change of direction!
Fortunately, Curry reacted quickly. The action to grab the ball changed to moving the ball to the right, actively moving towards Sun Ce, turning around Sun Ce, rushing inside, and one-step throw from inside the free throw line...hit.
!
When it comes to singles in the mid-range, Curry is not sure about singles beyond the three-point line, but there are really not many people in the NBA who are more accurate than him in such a throw without interference.
It should be said that in any shooting position, without interference, Curry is one of the most accurate players in that position.
Sun Ce really didn't expect Curry to react so quickly. If Curry had shot a three-pointer just now, he would have definitely blocked it.
It's just that Curry has a great feel for the ball and reacts too quickly.
But although Curry scored a goal, he was not happy.
Sun Ce restrained him too much! Moreover, he was even more restrained than last season!
Curry feels that Sun Ce is so unfriendly to outside players with technical skills!
After Curry scored, the two teams immediately took action. Larry Sanders picked up the ball and sent it to Nash. The Grizzlies transitioned between offense and defense.
The Warriors would not let Sun Ce catch the ball at any position outside the three-point line. If Sun Ce wanted to stay outside the three-point line, he would definitely go to the shooting area where he is good at shooting. Therefore, when Sun Ce took the initiative to ask for the ball,
Richard Jefferson chose to go forward to defend. Sun Ce just pretended to ask for the ball and cut towards the basket. Only then did Nash lob the ball to Sun Ce.
Sun Ce received the ball on the sideline of the three-second zone, and Landry immediately came up. When Sun Ce cut in to attract Landry's attention, Yi Jianlian had already pulled out to the left sideline to screen Klay Thompson. Sun Ce was double-teamed.
When he immediately passed the ball to the left corner, Klay Thompson took a step to the left corner and just caught the ball, took off and shot a three-pointer...
Before the timeout... Sun Ce made a three-pointer... and the splash effect was triggered!
Klay Thompson's confident three-pointer from the left corner! It mirrors Sun Ce's three-pointer from the right corner before the official timeout!
11 points difference!
And this time Sun Ce is very lucky. For the first time in this game, he enjoyed the bonus effect after Klay Thompson hit a three-pointer. The splash of water triggered Sun Ce's bonus!
Sun Ce had 4 three-pointers, Klay Thompson had 1 three-pointer, and Paul George had 1 three-pointer. The Grizzlies scored 18 points in the third quarter just from three-pointers! And the Warriors only scored 18 points in the third quarter.
Scored 16 points.
The Warriors can no longer defend against the offensive methods the Grizzlies have shown in the past.
But tonight's Grizzlies team is an unconventional Grizzlies team. Sun Ce made 8 of 10 three-pointers, which destroyed the Warriors' disciplined defense!
In addition to the breakdown of defense, the mentality of the Warriors also collapsed!
During the transition between offense and defense, Curry advanced to the frontcourt. Before Sun Ce could block him, he shot a super long three-pointer two meters from the top of the arc...
Curry has already made two such shots in this game, but this time he is not enjoying the feeling of shooting when the score is anxious, but he is impatient and reluctantly takes the shot, iron!
It's not over yet! Yi Jianlian got the rebound and passed it to Sun Ce. Sun Ce rushed to the frontcourt, and under the defense of Curry who came back from the defense, he forced to take off and hit a three-pointer without being able to fully take off!
Chapter completed!
