It was a blast!
The fans in front of the TV felt so crazy that Sun Ce was about to set a new record for an active player!
Even though the Thunder tried their best to prevent Sun Ce's offensive rebounds and scoring, Sun Ce still grabbed 4 offensive rebounds in the third quarter. Sun Ce's number of offensive rebounds increased to 15, which is far behind Rodman's NBA record.
Only 3 short of the 18 offensive rebounds in a single game since statistics were collected!
This may not necessarily be a breakthrough, but Sun Ce, who has 29 rebounds in three quarters, is only 5 short of Rodman's 34 rebounds in a single game! Just taking Sun Ce's 5 defensive rebounds in the third quarter, he is bound to beat
In the fourth quarter, which was a more fierce confrontation and bigger, fans have almost seen Sun Ce break the single-game rebound record since 1990! Even the 35 rebounds in a single game set by Charles Oakley in the 1980s seems to be unstable.
!
As for Love's single-game rebound record for active players, no one doubts whether Sun Ce can break it.
The whole Grizzlies team is sparing no effort to get Sun Ce to get defensive rebounds. Sun Ce has an advantage in grabbing rebounds. He is not as fast inside and not as tall as him on the outside. Durant, who is faster than him, does not suffer much.
Not as strong as him... 14 defensive rebounds in three quarters, Sun Ce almost 5 defensive rebounds in each quarter, solid!
Moreover, Sun Ce scored 46 points, while Durant's score was less than 33 points. At least for now, Sun Ce's scoring average has surpassed Durant!
Moreover, judging from the progress of the game between the two teams, Durant has almost no chance of regaining the lead in points per game tonight.
Durant mainly focuses on containment. When it is time for him to shoot, he will shoot, and when it is time to take the pot, he will take the pot. But the main thing is to save his energy at critical moments to score a wave of points.
The Thunder also took advantage of this to launch an offense that the Grizzlies couldn't guard against despite their efforts. Even if Sun Ce blocked 4 shots in a single quarter, he couldn't stop the Thunder, which made the crowd angry.
But in turn, the Thunder really relied on their overall defense to put a lot of restrictions on the Grizzlies' overall offense. However, Sun Ce just couldn't guard it, and the Grizzlies' overall offense also played well. The key is
Sun Ce's personal scoring was really unstoppable, and he still scored 12 points in a single quarter in the third quarter! If it weren't for the Thunder's effective defensive strategy, Sun Ce would have almost scored 50+ points in three quarters!
What makes the Thunder players feel most helpless is that although their strategy has been implemented very well, Sun Ce still scored 12 points and 4 offensive rebounds in a single quarter.
TV commentators were not too concerned about the excitement. Barkley laughed and said: "Should we lock down the Lords and prevent them from playing crazy statistics, or should we work hard to win? Maybe this is the thinking of the Thunder players. They should be very entangled and confused.
, but I don’t think it’s necessary, because the lord has already produced crazy statistics!”
Commentators on major TV stations did not dare to draw conclusions about the result of the game. In the third quarter, if Sun Ce had not blocked Ibaka's hook shot at the beginning, and then Sun Ce made up the dunk to score two points, the Thunder would really have had a chance.
Maybe the go-ahead score was because of those 4 points that made the Thunder fail to go ahead after the official timeout in the third quarter when they were chasing points. The Thunder narrowed the point difference to at least two points. Without those 4 points, the current situation would have been
It may be quite different.
Maybe the Thunder's morale improved after taking the lead, and they wouldn't have been hit by the Grizzlies' 12-point offensive climax.
Durant, who devotes himself to scoring and defense, Westbrook, who takes over most of the work on the offensive end, and Ibaka, who is one of the top three defensive players in the league and has strong mid-range control... Fans in front of the TV and computers began to complain again.
Now - the Thunder have chosen a Big Three! And even if Harden is sold off, the remaining players they choose can still form the Big Three...
What makes Thunder fans most uncomfortable is the Harden deal. One year later, it was like giving away Harden for nothing. Ellis left, Leonard was exchanged for Odom, and Odom left Los Angeles.
It's useless, it's like trading Harden for air!
As for Harden, he has been ranked in the top ten in the mvp rankings for a long time this season.
…
Fans, TV commentators, and fans at the scene are all talking about statistics, the stars of the two teams, Harden and other things.
The players from the two teams have different ideas now. Their focus is entirely on winning or losing.
Based on the differences in the defensive strategies of the two teams and the scoring between Sun Ce and Durant, Sun Ce is not so worried about his scoring average being surpassed by Durant in the fourth quarter. He only needs to score no less than Durant in the fourth quarter.
Already.
Now, what's more important is winning!
Durant scored 8 points in a row in the last two minutes of the third quarter... The Grizzlies, who had an offensive climax of 12 points in a row, would have been shocked. If it weren't for Yi Jianlian and Klay Thompson's three-pointers
If they get in, they might really be overtaken by the Thunder.
Durant has greatly raised the Thunder's ceiling!
Without Durant, with only Westbrook and Ibaka leading the team, the Thunder are on the edge of the Western Conference playoffs. With Durant, they are a top team that can lead the 73-win team 3-1!
The minimum point difference was reduced to two points... Sun Ce felt the pressure of being chased closely by the opponent and not knowing when he would be bitten.
The entire Grizzlies team has felt that kind of pressure. Fortunately, most of their players have felt greater pressure and can still withstand it.
The players who just joined the Grizzlies this year are also very confident because they have the best players in the world!
At least, in the eyes of the Grizzlies' own players, Sun Ce is already the best in the world. The difference between him and Kobe Bryant and Duncan is only the difference in accumulated honors and number of championships.
Of course, this gap cannot be eliminated with words, but they feel that Sun Ce will surpass these two people one day!
Because Sun Ce's performance is so incredible, even Duncan, who started writing legends when he entered the NBA, is not as crazy as Sun Ce.
On the other side, the Thunder bench once chased the point difference to two points, which made them feel extremely excited. Moreover, when the opponent had an offensive climax and was blocked by Sun Ce's block, Durant scored 8 points. They were not defeated.
The opponent's sudden offensive burst was defeated. Although the point difference was still widened to 6 points, the opponent still maintained the possibility of comeback by scoring 12 points in a row. This gave the Thunder players hope, they had Durant!
It's just that... Durant's inner thoughts are different from those of his teammates and others.
His teammates were glad that he was here to close the score, and they were excited that he would have a chance to make a comeback. But Durant himself, seeing that Sun Ce was only 24 years old, felt too much pressure!
He also felt his teammates' trust in him and their reliance on him, but for him, the joy was far less than the torture that the pressure brought to him.
He doesn't like such great pressure, but so far, this emotion has not affected his fighting spirit. Now Durant just wants to win, and he is working hard to relieve this pressure.
…
The inter-quarter break is almost over, and the head coaches of the two teams have made personnel adjustments and tactical arrangements. The starting players of both teams in the fourth quarter came on the court at the referee's signal.
On the Thunder's side, Westbrook, Durant, Ibaka, and Adams are ready to play the entire second half. The shooting guard position has been replaced by Andre Robertson, who is sharper in cutting and better at guarding off-ball shooters.
For the Grizzlies, the lineup of Sun Ce, Beverley, Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Yi Jianlian continues to play.
There is no good way to defend. You can't defend the inside line at all, and you can't just rely on Sun Ce's blocking to solve the problem. In the third quarter, Sun Ce blocked 4 shots in a single quarter, but he still couldn't stop the opponent from using Durant and Iba.
The card is a containment point, and the other three people score inside.
Then the choice is very simple, continue to attack!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies took the lead.
Beverley advanced to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Paul George.
Beverley, Klay Thompson, and Yi Jianlian separated, and Sun Ce sat in the low post to rely on Durant to get the ball!
The Thunder also want to try to see if Durant, who has defended Sun Ce so well in the past, can limit Sun Ce in the fourth quarter. Sun Ce's consumption in each of the first three quarters is comparable to the consumption of other players in one game.
, by this time, there should be a decline, right?
Sun Ce received the ball and the opponent had a height advantage. He did not choose to attack, but half-turned to throw... and missed!
Sun Ce's shot was severely interfered with. He knew the ball was going to be a hit when he shot it. Before Durant could retract his interference movement and turn around, Sun Ce, who jumped first and landed first, directly pressed up and circled around.
Passed by Durant, jumped high before Westbrook came back to grab the defensive rebound, and scored two points with a self-shooting and self-stealing dunk!
They can't defend one-on-one! The Thunder players immediately gave up the coach's strategy of trying to defend one-on-one. This is suicide!
In the next round of defense, the Thunder immediately resumed their main defense of Sun Ce and Klay Thompson, preventing Yi Jianlian from cutting in, and tried their best to interfere with Yi Jianlian, Beverley, and Paul George's three-pointers by switching defenses as quickly as possible.
Point defense.
This kind of defense is very passive, but the Thunder players have no choice but to defend like this.
The reason why they still maintain their fighting spirit is because their offense cannot be defended by the Grizzlies!
The Grizzlies have no choice but to attack aggressively.
At 1 minute and 16 seconds into the fourth quarter, Sun Ce collected a defensive rebound and got his 31st rebound of the game, breaking his career-high record of 30 rebounds in a single game and tying Le.
Fu holds the record for the highest single-game rebounds by a suspect player!
At 2 minutes and 31 seconds, Sun Ce collected a defensive rebound again and successfully broke the current record for rebounds in a single game!
At 2 minutes and 43 seconds, Sun Ce turned around and cut back from the outside. He caught the ball and dunked and scored two points. The Thunder team did not dare to block it. Sun Ce was too fierce! After three quarters, the fourth quarter was over.
It seemed like nothing was wrong, so Westbrook just broke through and dunked to compete.
With this dunk, the Grizzlies once again extended their lead to 5 points. At the same time, Sun Ce's data increased to 50 points, 32 rebounds, 10 assists, 9 blocks and 3 steals. He is about to get a 50+ quadruple-double!
The quadruple-double didn't come too late. Looking back, the Thunder attacked. Andre Robertson received a second pass from Durant, cut in and made a flying dunk, but was slapped down by Sun Ce. 50+32+10+10, Sun Ce
Got the four scariest pairs in history!
But this time the Grizzlies didn't get the rebound. Westbrook rushed to the three-point line and grabbed his seventh rebound. There was no time and he just threw the three-pointer!
Still got in!
96 to 98, the Thunder narrowed the point difference to two points!
During the transition between offense and defense, the Grizzlies attacked. This time Yi Jianlian played a trick. He cut in to catch the ball and attracted the defense. He jumped in the air and passed to the right rear. Beverley caught the ball and shot a three-pointer... but missed! But Yi Jianlian cut in.
Taking off, Sun Ce attracted the opponent's defense. Sun Ce grabbed his 17th offensive rebound, scored two points with a putback dunk, and caused a foul on Westbrook who came in. The goal was valid and an additional penalty was required!
17 offensive rebounds, tying Charles Barkley for second place in offensive rebounds in a single game during the regular season!
The only offensive rebounds ranked ahead of Sun Ce in a single game are Rodman's 18 offensive rebounds in a regular season and Moses Malone's 21 offensive rebounds in a playoff game.
As for why there are more rebounds in the playoffs than in the regular season, it's because the points of scoring and rebounding are reversed between the regular season and the playoffs. Chamberlain also rebounds more in the playoffs than in the regular season.
This time, Sun Ce took the free throw carefully and made the extra free throw!
To be continued...
