: One thousand six hundred and eighty.

This past offseason, the Thunder's signings, tactical changes, and playing time changes, these three aspects, can be said to be very successful.
The addition of Dion Waiters and Morrow gave the Thunder bench a sixth man with a singles ability and a top pitcher, making the Thunder's offense more diverse.
The tactical change on the defensive end is mainly a collective defensive rebounding strategy, allowing the Thunder to get the league’s highest average defensive rebound of 36.5 per game, which is more than the Grizzlies’ average of 35.5 defensive rebounds per game. The Grizzlies relied on more offensive rebounds before averaging 47 rebounds per game and ranked first in the rebounds per game, and each game has 0.5 more rebounds than the Thunder.
Being able to defend so many defensive rebounds means that the Thunder have a high defense success rate!
Arrangement of playing time is the most critical, allowing Durant to fully fire during the playing time, allowing the Thunder to maintain a very good offensive success rate in their very traditional slow-paced offense and defense.
These changes are not for other teams, but for the Spurs and Grizzlies, two teams that played briskly last season. The most important thing is for the Grizzlies who have lost more than the past few years. .
From most of the first half, the Thunder's changes were successful. They used to play the Grizzlies most of the time and were in a very unfavorable situation. They played tonight and they were tied in the first 18 minutes. Under the circumstances, he also relied on Durant to rest for nearly 9 minutes in the first half of the game. He had the opportunity to be energetic and led the Grizzlies by two points in the first half.
However, Durant felt that the most critical part of their change had lost its effect!
Durant has not really been able to really relieve physical exertion through the first half of the 9-minute game time, that is, the 17-minute game time + pause time, dead ball time, and inter-session rest time.
This is an unexpected situation. If it was last season, the Grizzlies may restrict him except Tony Allen. Others, including Paul George, do not impose too much restrictions on him. In that case, he can After a long break at half time, the second half can be maintained for a longer period of time.
This is the most important part of their changes in three aspects.
However, their changes became useless due to the promotion of Sun Ce's single defense!
The Grizzlies have become stronger overall, and the Thunder have also become stronger. If he reduces Durant's playing time, this matter can really help him ease his physical exertion. In a fixed-win game, the Thunder have a high probability. Beating the Grizzlies, even with a 7-game 4-win system, the Thunder have the hope of winning the series.
But because Sun Ce was alone, he offset the improvement brought about by their changes.
This gave Durant, who was not strong enough or even a little glass-hearted, very frustrated.
Back in the second half, the third quarter began, the Grizzlies sent Sun Celey, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Richard Jefferson, Yi Jianlian to fight offense.
The Thunder team, Reggie Jackson, Morrow, Lamb, Durant, Ibaka lineup.
The Thunder coach Scott Brooks made a good prediction of the Grizzlies rotation this time. Obviously, the Grizzlies are preparing for a wave of offensive lineups in the third quarter.
Durant and Ibaka took 8-9 minutes of rest each in the first half. Playing an opponent like the Grizzlies, it is normal for the two to play 38 to 40 minutes. Most of the games this season are compared to last season. Reduced, in order to reduce consumption in the usual game, so that they can play more time when they encounter strong enemies.
The Grizzlies lineup is more difficult to prevent. Although the playoffs are not easy to use, the regular season is really strong. Last season, with this combination, it rushed to the fourth in the west, so the Thunder must also You have to replace the best shooting team with Moro and Lamb able to open up space and use the personal abilities of Durant, Reggie Jackson and Ibaka to compete with the Grizzlies.
Durant is also working very hard. In the first half of the third quarter, the Grizzlies Sun Ce tonight did not care about the physical and carefree pass. He rushed 11 points and 3 assists in more than 8 minutes to help the Grizzlies score 22 points. Durant also led the team to carry it. He personally scored 10 points to help the team score 21 points in 8 minutes. The Thunder still lead the Grizzlies by 1 point 76 to 75.
But in the last 4 minutes of the third quarter, after the Thunder called to suspend the two teams to change to the regular lineup, the Thunder had a big problem!
The combination of Westbrook, Andre Robertson, Durant, Ibaka, Adams was exploded by the lineup of the Grizzlies Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Pierce, Randolph, Larry Sanders hammer!
Durant Liang Xu was defended by Sun Ce twice. The Grizzlies came back from a timeout to start with a wave of 5-0. Sun Ce scored a counter-attack dunk and Klay Thompson scored a counter-attack.
80 to 76, after this wave of counterattacks, the Grizzlies overtook the Thunder by 4 points!
Sun Ce clearly felt that Durant, who scored 29 points in three quarters before finishing the two successful defenses, had a physical exhaustion and a serious drop in shooting. He decisively contracted to help Klay Thompson and Randolph prevent Westbrook from breaking through. , And also covered Andre Robertson's cut, Westbrook gave Durant, Durant opened three points iron!
Sun Ce grabbed a defensive rebound and rushed to the frontcourt with an unacceptable start. Just now Klay Thompson made a three-pointer, 80% of the probability triggered the water splash's bonus to his Sun, Sun Ce chased He missed the three-point shooting effect caused by the emergency stop, and completed a three-point and two combo with Klay Thompson, hitting a wave of 8-0!
83 to 76, the Grizzlies led by 7 points, the Thunder called a timeout!
But this timeout only strengthened their role on the defensive end, and the offensive end stopped. The Grizzlies replaced Tony Allen with Pierce during the timeout, coupled with the Splash Brothers, Larry Sanders and Lan. Dorf's inside combination, in the last two minutes and the Thunder played a wave of 2-1, the Grizzlies only rely on Randolph's offensive rebounds to get two fouls, the Thunder There was only one of Adams's two free throws and one hit. After three quarters, the Grizzlies led the Thunder by 85 points and 77 points!
...
Although Durant scored 29 points in three quarters and had a 11-for-18 shooting rate, Tony Allen and Sun Ce failed to defend, but did not allow Durant to get too many free throws, only 5 4 of the free throws, 3 of which were fouls caused by Paul George's defense. The key is that Durant's field goal percentage was 11 of 15 from the field and 11 of 18 from the field. The last 4 minutes of the third quarter Durant made 0 of 3 shots!
Just like he did before this season, no matter how accurate he was when he had enough physical strength, once the physical strength fell, he was playing, and his shooting percentage was less than 5%.
This, in the opinion of the TV commentator, is the role played by Sun Ce's defense, offsetting the advantage that Durant gave the Thunder 9 minutes in the first half of the break!
From the second half of the second quarter, although Durant made accurate shots most of the time, he shot 3 of 5 in the second half of the second quarter and 4 of 5 8 minutes before the third quarter, but once his physical strength fell, Durant Rand's shooting performance has an avalanche trend.
After entering the intersessional break, the caddie who was instructed by Sun Ce as early as the 10 minutes and 16 seconds pause in the third quarter had already prepared the jersey for Sun Ce.
So, Westbrook saw the picture he least wanted to see-Sun Ce changed the jersey on the spot!
Watching a group of people surround Sun Ce, wipe the sweat with a towel, and now even the hot towel is ready, the jersey is handed over... Westbrook is not good for the whole person.
He scored 15 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals in the third quarter. He performed well and Durant played well, but their excellent physical distribution this season after their self-adjustment and running-in was broken by Sun Ce. !
On Sun Ce's side... Looking at Sun Ce, who was refreshed after changing the jersey, as if the game had just begun, Westbrook felt a trace of despair!
With 17 points in a single quarter and 17 points in the first half, Sun Ce scored 34 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 blocks and 3 steals after playing 29 minutes in the third quarter.
This performance is terrible!
Some retired players have analyzed that Sun Ce is not as good as Klay Thompson and Curry in three-point shooting, and Durant, Nowitzki, Kobe in the midrange shot, and James, Ellis, Ross, and Westbrook under the basket. Sun Ce is top-level in every aspect-in other people's opinion, Sun Ce's top level through skill bonus is Sun Ce's personal ability.
Such a Sun Ce, once COSCO has a feel, it can't be prevented!
The inter-sessional break time passed quickly in Westbrook's panicking and cranky thoughts. On the Thunder side, Durant will be replaced for a few minutes of rest. In view of Durant and Ibaka's serious injuries in the past two seasons, Scott Brooks’ use of Durant has also changed. It’s time to take a break and eat a bit of wisdom. He replaced Westbrook with Morrow, Lamb, Perry Jones, and Iba. The combination of cards has the ability to shoot, making Westbrook like James.
However, Westbrook appeared on the court to see the combination of Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Klay Thompson, Paul George and Gobert.
The Grizzlies don't need Randolph and Aldridge's twin towers directly, and start playing!
After a lapse of season, once again seeing the classic rogue combination of the Grizzlies two consecutive championships, Westbrook still missed a bit... read the fart!
How can I fight this!
...
Durant was replaced to rest, and he directly punched out of work. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, relying on the speed of Sun Ce and Paul George's defense defense, relying on Tony Allen's defense of Westbrook, relying on Gram Ley Thompson's pursuit of Morrow, guarded by Gobert's basket, the Grizzlies let the Thunder only have one sports goal in more than 5 minutes, and only scored 5 points. The sports goal is still Victoria. Sbrooke made a three-pointer by himself.
The Thunder's substitutions also came very quickly. Andre Robertson and Adams soon came on and defended against the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies only scored 8 points in more than 5 minutes, but this enough!
93 to 82, the Grizzlies lead expanded to 11 points!
Among these 8 points, 6 points were obtained by Sun Ce. Sun Ce returned to the physical state at the beginning of the game with physical potions. Although he only made 1 of 5 shots, there were 6 free throws and 4 of 6 free throws. Raise his stats to 40 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 blocks and 4 steals!
The 11-point difference is not big, but it depends on who the opponent is. Tonight the Thunder's opponent is the Grizzlies who have recovered their defensive status!
The most important thing is that Durant may have a good rest, but Ibaka, who played 34 minutes, is also tired. He just shot the iron twice.
In this situation, Scott Brooks did not let Durant play hard as in previous years, but replaced Durant and Ibaka to rest, let Westbrook take Moro, Lamb, Perry -The combination of Jones and Adams went up for a three-pointer.
Sun Ce thinks that the Thunder's substitutions are actually good in the long run. The health of Ibaka and Durant's strikers is more important to the Thunder. Westbrook can make the Thunder guarantee a playoff. Level, but Westbrook and Paul have similar functions and cannot play a decisive role in the game.
But for the game tonight, the Thunder have given up half, and now the idea of ​​Scott Brooks, in Sun Ce's view, is to bet on Westbrook, and the Thunder outside player's shooting touch and Adams' offensive rebound.
And the Grizzlies... Coach Hollins didn’t adjust to an offensive lineup because the Thunder might replace Durant and continue to defend!
A combination of Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Klay Thompson, Randolph, and Larry Sanders came on the court to carry the defense to the end!
...
When the Grizzlies and the Thunder finished 85-77 in the third quarter, fans in front of the TV, in front of the mobile phone, and in front of the computer thought that it would be another game tonight. Both teams had regular seasons and scored about 110 points. The score, even if Durant didn’t go to Westbrook with a pitcher and a tower, thinks so. The TV commentators also predict this. They think Durant will at least after the official suspension in the fourth quarter. Play.
However, the Grizzlies once again gave a slap to the understanding, and did not care at all that the team meritorious coach Hubby Brown who had just blasted Sun Ce all the way did not hurt. The score of 16-15 in the quarter, the audience After the game, the Grizzlies beat the Thunder 101-92!
The Grizzlies, who have averaged 105 points per game so far this season, have once again played tonight with a very low score for them this season.
More than 5 minutes before the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies only scored 8 points, and nearly 7 minutes later, they only scored 8 points, but successfully limited the Thunder's score to 15 points in a single quarter!
Durant is not even replaced by Ibaka. Even if Westbrook scores even more sharply, there is no stable scoring point. Morrow scored, but it is not a stable scoring point. He does not have Durant and Iraq. Baka's ability to find opportunities is so good, Klay Thompson defended him to death.
Westbrook's lack of weakness in leading the top teams alone was once again exposed.
However, not many people think Westbrook is not good, each player has its own characteristics, like Sun Ce's all-round situation, very few, even Jordan, it is also converted into a jigsaw style of play, which is similar to Du After Rant's play, he and Pippen led the teammates to win the championship.
Players similar to Sun Ce are mostly unlucky. Two well-known examples are Anfini Hardaway and Tracy McGrady. These two men did not have such a long peak period, nor did Sun Ce have such a good teammate, but The characteristics are quite similar, but neither of them has really succeeded, so players like Sun Ce are exceptional.
A core combination like Westbrook + Durant + Ibaka + Adams is already a perfect match, and this season is really good.
But the better the Thunder played this season, the better it played out, but the more it helped the Sun to play in the game tonight!
43 points, 17 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 blocks, 5 steals in a single game... and 5 fouls, 4 turnovers, and an alternative 6 times 5!
Su Qun of Chao Tingtai all laughed that Sun Ce lost one mistake and he felt that his obsessive-compulsive disorder had been committed. Almost Sun Ce got the second "7 times 5" in his career.
Too fierce! 39 minutes of playing time played such a performance. Although Sun Ce had a small half of blocks and steals and rebounds were obtained when Durant was not in the fourth quarter, Sun Ce played against Durant in the second half of the second quarter and the third quarter. 'S defense is amazingly good!
Durant's shooting percentage is very high, but Sun Ce plays a depleting role that the Grizzlies can't do, even the two players who have been selected for the first defense, Tony Allen and Paul George Arrive!
Combined with Sun Ce’s best single defense efficiency in the point guard position this season...Although most of the time the point guard is not his defense, he defends role players in other positions, but people’s evaluation is like this, a high-performance defense, with With such defensive efficiency, the voice of his best defensive player skyrocketed overnight!
Of course ~EbookFREE.me~ The most important thing is the record, the Grizzlies have a 23-game winning streak!
...
"Because the host has 5 times 5 times in a single game to reach 7 times, breaking the historical record of 6 times 5 times 5 times held by Hakim-Olajuwon, congratulations to the host for the achievement reward: Hakim-Ola Zhu Wang 5 times 5 in a single game shows the chapter of the random season star experience card that season."
After the game, Sun Ce couldn't immediately see the system prompts that came up. After such a hot game, he was surrounded by the media and asked for a long time. After coping for a while, he returned to the locker room to take a shower. This is an achievement reward.
Sun Ce remembers that the period when Olajuwon got 5 times 5 data was concentrated between the 86-87 season and the 93-94 season. This period is the most peak period of Olajuwon! It is the peak period of his 5 double doubles!
Looking at the two big dream cards in the prop space, Sun Ce fell into contemplation...
"What is this suggesting? I suggest that my grandson got a 25-game winning streak and got the blessing of a random legendary superstar to win the center card? Don't you! You can learn from him by spending big dreams!"
