However, this also calmed down Durant and began to slow down his fight, wanting to retain the remaining energy to exert at critical moments.

In other words, Durant had no other function except for medium and long distance restraint. In order to save energy, he even avoided running and did not take the initiative to defend Sun Ce, and left it to Sefrosa.

Originally, Sefrosa couldn't defend Sun Ce. Sefrosa's defensive end was considered a poor version of Tony Allen. Of course, she was not particularly poor, but she was weaker. Her characteristics were very similar. She defended her defenders very well, but she was not defensive.

A taller player can't do it.

Now the league almost always uses strong athletic ability to fight against good small forwards to defend Sun Ce, so that they can have good results. Sefrosa can't defend herself, but the current situation is still Sefrosa played for more than ten minutes in the first half.

After some of his physical strength, Sun Ce was full of energy!

Sun Ce continuously used pick-and-roll long-distance jump shots, Perkins couldn't defend himself, and Sefrosa was unable to stick close to her like Durant, and then reduced Sun Ce's pick-and-roll success rate. Sun Ce scored 4 of 6 shots in the second half and scored 12 only

performance of points.

However, Westbrook's explosive power was made! He scored 5 points and 3 assists, creating a chance to eat cake for Perkins twice, and also creating a chance to catch the ball for Ellis.

In half a quarter, the Grizzlies scored 15-13.

Westbrook is very familiar with Durant's characteristics. If Durant continues to play singles at this time, Westbrook really doesn't know what to do, but Durant completely delegates power, Westbrook plays more freely and less

Hope to disappoint Durant.

71 to 72, Sun Ce played so well in the past half quarter, but the Grizzlies were still 1 point behind.

But Westbrook's outbreak did not continue. After the official timeout, the Grizzlies sent Nash, Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Yi Jianlian and Lopez Jr. to play a 16-11 lineup!

Sun Ce is very effective as a pick-and-roll executor, but this time coach Hollins did not let Sun Ce be the pick-and-roll executor, but instead played with Klay Thompson as a scorer!

Coach Hollins cannot control the progress of the game, but he has a good idea. He has long been accustomed to assigning tasks and rotating according to the performance of the players. The players decide how to play, but the arrangement in this regard is very good!

In the second half of the third quarter, the Grizzlies deliberately gave Durant, who was exhausted but still unable to rest, a chance to take action.

In addition to the troubles, Durant blames himself and his team, another characteristic is that he is not good at refusing.

If a star changes, he will choose to refuse when his physical energy is exhausted and unbearable, but Durant doesn't, so he chooses to bear it silently.

This characteristic can be said to be a good personality, but it is often easy to suffer a big loss.

For example, now, even though the first half is consumed so much, you can rest half of the third quarter and then go up, which is much better than turning back and running to open up space.

But Durant had no idea after the first half. He was thinking about how to slowly take the field and how to hold on until the critical moment and still have the energy.

Because he has become accustomed to the decisions of his team's head coach and has never resisted.

As a result, he only made 1 of 4 attempts in the second half of the third quarter!

On the contrary, Sun Ce made 8 of 14 shots in the third quarter, scored 12 points in the first half of the quarter, scored 4 of 6 shots in the second half of the quarter, scored 11 points in the second half of the quarter, scored 23 points in a single quarter, helping the Grizzlies in the third quarter

When the game was over, the score was 87-83, surpassing the Thunder 4 points!

...

Sun Ce was very excited about the break during the holidays.

The feeling of stability and strength similar to the last season's playoffs is back!

This game was the first time that the Grizzlies sent a complete 13-man main lineup to play after more than a dozen games after playing against the Heat in early March.

With the progress of young teammates, the veterans' condition has recovered and found a better and better feeling, and the teammates' tacit understanding has not diminished... In summary, Sun Ce feels that his team has played the most beautiful first three quarters of the season.

It’s not that he has led a lot, but that when the Thunder team performed so well tonight, Sun Ce and his teammates worked together to adjust, change tactically, control the details, grasp the opportunities... and so on

Wait, beat the Thunder when the third quarter is over!

Durant ran back in the third quarter and made only 1 of 4 shots in the second half. The Grizzlies had a clear advantage!

In other words, when both teams are in good shape, the Grizzlies are not a failure of the Thunder and have clear advantages!

However, Sun Ce did not dare to be careless. The opponent also had Ellis and Westbrook. Even if Durant made 1 of 4 in the second half of the third quarter, he would not dare to give Durant a chance like that in the final quarter.

...

The break between the two sessions ended and the fourth quarter began. Coach Hollins once again sent Nash, Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Yi Jianlian's lineup, just to run!

The Thunder began to block the defense. The Grizzlies only scored 13 points in the past half quarter, but the Thunder only scored 9 points. Thunder head coach Brooks didn't know what he thought, so he put Durant in the end.

The physical energy was consumed on defense, and Durant, once again accepted the arrangement...

Durant is good at accepting this feature that can easily hurt himself. He even had a calf muscle strain and a calf injury that played for 40 minutes before.

With 100 to 92, with more than 5 minutes left, the Grizzlies led by 8 points, with a clear advantage, and once again started a rogue battle!

Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Prince, Bathir, and Gasol Jr. have the lineup on the court and fight to the defensive!

At this time, Ellis could not play anymore, Westbrook could not find a good pass opportunity, and he couldn't make it. The whole team pointed at Durant again.

However, Durant, who had not had a rest for a minute, had already scored 37 points, was no longer able to solve the problem. He was not the kind of player who could get fifty or sixty in one game, and he might occasionally get 50.

+, but it is better to develop Westbrook's ability in this area if he has to score points throughout the whole process to solve the problem.

Compared to the ok combination, Durant is obviously more suitable for O'Neal's role, as a king, rather than throwing him out as four twos from the beginning.

Sometimes, the key ball is not necessarily the final winning goal. The key point in this game lies in Sun Ce's two successful defenses in the last three rounds of the first quarter.

Relying on Sun Ce's successful defense in the first quarter, Sun Ce took advantage of Durant's inability to defend and scored 23 points in a single quarter in the third quarter. The Grizzlies gradually established an advantage and finally defeated the Thunder at home with 109-100!

Sun Ce played for 48 minutes in the game, made 14 of 30 shots, 5 of 11 three-pointers, and 10 of 11 free throws, scoring 43 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 blocks, and 3 steals.
