Popovich was ready to call a timeout. Seeing Sun Ce making a shot without any rhythm, he was still hastily shot, and his three-pointer hit was hit by all three-pointers in the first five times, which narrowed the gap to

After 4 points, he even shouted at the referee and quickly called for a timeout.

54 to 50, this leading advantage is gone!

This time it was Popovich's turn to explode. He held on for 9 minutes. Guy scored 8 points alone, Ginobili scored 9 points, and Kwamebron scored 4 points in free throws. Only then did the Spurs

In the second quarter, he scored 21 points in 9 minutes, maintaining the 9-point lead created in the first quarter, but Sun Ce made a three-pointer and the opponent would definitely take the opportunity!

They have to change players with good physical strength and better feel, but the opponent must also replace Nash and others at this time. When Sun Ce just made a three-pointer, the opponent's offensive lineup came up...

Popovich felt his scalp numb!

On the other hand, as Popovich thought, the Grizzlies coaching staff and players were extremely excited.

The Grizzlies finally made their second three-pointer in the game!

With 13 of 24 shots, 1 of 6 of three-pointers, plus 5 of 7 free throws, Sun Ce's personal score increased to 32 points!

From 6 of 8 shots at the beginning, to 10 of 17 shots in the first half of the second quarter, to 13 of 24 shots... Sun Ce's efficiency has declined rapidly.

However, after a crazy three-pointer, before Sun Ce was about to replace Duncan, Sun Ce made a key three-pointer to narrow the gap to 4 points!

This is a huge morale increase for Nash, Klay Thompson, Paul George and Yi Jianlian who are ready to play.

If Sun Ce can make three points, his restraint will definitely be further improved!

However, when Sun Ce returned to the bench, hesitated whether to use a physical potion now? He obviously felt the decline in physical strength. The ball just now was due to the "mistake" to reduce Ginobili's interference effect.

That is, his temporary confrontation ability is improved in the reverse direction. If he is in a state of no bonus, under the full strength of a player with about 184 cm, he may be able to shoot three-nosed 192 cm.

But now using physical potion, if you decide to use the Star Experience Card during the intermission... it will be a pure waste.

However, in this situation, he may not be able to maintain efficiency until the end of the first half. He played too tiring. He shot 24 times and scored 32 points. He also had 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals... He was so tired.

Now!

Until now, Sun Ce has roughly understood Coach Hollins's idea, but the coaching staff did not say it, but Sun Ce estimated that the coaching staff wanted the continuity of the entire series, and even did the first two away games to lose.

Prepare.

There is nothing wrong with this. The reason why home advantage in the playoffs is precious is because of the atmosphere at home, the referees have to take care of the emotions of home fans, etc., it is difficult for strong teams to be defeated at home. The Lakers and Heat this year are

Exception is that the Celtics, who have a lot of high-quality role players exchanged for Rondo and Ray Allen, are originally the favorites in the championship. It is normal for these two teams to win a away game.

The Bulls and Thunder have steadily held their home court. Even in the match between the Pacers and Nets, the Pacers have defended every home court, and the Spurs have exploded so fiercely

Curry + Harden, all three home courts were also held.

The coaching team wanted to fight for the battle of Tianwang Mountain, so they tried to use the consumption strategy, which has already achieved effect...

"But it wouldn't be better if we win? A physical potion + a star experience card to exchange home court advantages..."

This deal is not a loss!

Sun Ce immediately took a shot of physical potion and began to drink Gatorade.

Feeling the feeling of exploding his chest quickly fading and the accompanying hunger, Sun Ce asked Cloud, who was determined to sit on the bench throughout the playoffs, to buy a hamburger and eat it at halftime.

Thinking of the feeling just now, I got a three-pointer, and thinking of having a brand new physical strength to exert all my strength, Sun Ce also ignited!

...

After the timeout, the Grizzlies replaced Nash, Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Yi Jianlian's lineup with one-to-one, four-small team.

On the Spurs, Popovich made adjustments and did not replace the double towers. He guessed that the opponent would definitely be more radical than he expected at the beginning. Perhaps even double towers like Randolph and Larry Sanders

The combination will not be replaced.

George Hill, Patrick Mills, Danny Green, Dior, and Duncan's five-man team came on the court. When Popovich saw the opponent's lineup of one, one, four, and one, he took a deep breath.

Very dangerous!

Huo Tu is too brave! He keeps going 4 up and 4 down the playoffs.

However, Popovich had no idea at all. What he had prepared was 5 up and 5 down...

Spurs offense.

Duncan came up, and Dior immediately became active, as if he had become a different person. With Duncan's threat, he passed the ball to George Hill, who cut in. George Hill used Duncan pick-and-roll to get rid of Sun Ce, and cut into the basket to chase Yi Jianlian and defend against him.

He scored two points with a layup.

Whether it is offense or defense, the Spurs were completely different after Duncan came up.

The real Spurs system is with Duncan’s Spurs system!

The offense and defense were converted, Yi Jianlian immediately picked up the ball after George Hill scored and sent it to Nash, and the whole army attacked!

After 9 minutes of rest, only after 20 minutes of rest, the other four players in the running lineup were in a very good state, while Sun Ce regained his strength!

Sun Ce, who rushed out like an arrow, and Paul George rushed forward on the flank and pulled it to the sideline, the two attracted most of the opponent's defensive attention. Yi Jianlian followed behind Nash, preparing to pick-and-roll or cut into the cake while moving.

Nash did not pass the ball quickly, and waited outside the three-point line, and took advantage of Yi Jianlian's pick-and-roll to break through to the middle distance. Yi Jianlian took advantage of Nash's pick-and-roll threat to Sun Ce and Klay Thompson's restriction of cutting, but Duncan was very afraid of Yi Jianlian's cutting, so he took it back

Nash did not pass it to Yi Jianlian, who had already cut in and could create a good opportunity to attack the basket even when facing Duncan's contraction, but to Klay Thompson, who followed up on the left back to the left of the top arc!

Nash's first goal this time was not to pass the ball to the other three, but to make a goal for Klay Thompson, because Sun Ce just scored a three-pointer!

Although Sun Ce did not trigger the "splash" situation, his teammates were different from him. Every time Klay Thompson made a three-pointer, he felt that he was more confident and easier to find his feelings. Over time, this kind of psychological aspect
Chapter completed!
