974. Xiaobawang is autistic? (Part 3)
50+ loss in a single game in the playoffs, this is the fourth time in NBA history.
The last time was in the 2009 playoffs, with Ray Allen scored 51 points in a single game, and the Celtics lost to the Bulls.
The last time was in the 2006 playoffs, with Kobe 50 points in a single game and the Lakers lost to the Suns.
The last time was the worst playoff score in history. Jordan scored 63 points in a single game, and the Bulls lost to the Celtics.
Sun Ce won the "second in history" and scored 57 points in a single game. He lost to the defending champion Mavericks in the first game of the playoffs!
After running back to the locker room in shame, Sun Ce sat on the toilet and stopped going out.
He wants to calm down. Although he scored 57 points in today's game, he felt he was plotted! Because he lost!
During the game, the Grizzlies did not obviously fall into a disadvantage. Even when Sun Ce was in a strong position during some time periods, the Grizzlies still had an advantage.
In the last 55 seconds, the Grizzlies were still ahead by 3 points, but when Jason Terry and Nowitzki stood up and made a three-pointer, the Grizzlies did not score in the last 55 seconds, and Sun Ce was suddenly hit by a double.
, it was reported that the teammates did not make a shot.
And this, Sun Ce can't blame his teammates, he should blame him!
After the game was at the back, he felt something was wrong, and his teammates slowly couldn't make it. He played so well at this point that if the others could have a 40% shooting percentage, they wouldn't have lost.
But from the beginning, the teammates' hit rate of about 45% gradually declined. In the end, except for him, Sun, the rest of the team, only 35% hit rate.
This is all related to his excessive reliance on his own score and his desire to win by himself!
In fact, in the second half of the third quarter, Sun Ce had already wanted to start organizing the offense, but it was too late, and his teammates began to make consecutive shots, and the Mavericks still did not change their defense methods, but instead competed with him on the offensive end.
It's already like this, he can only continue to play with his teeth because there is still a chance to win the game like this.
But in the end, the pitcher lost at the critical moment and couldn't make the ball. The reason was that he lost at his 57 points!
...
Coach Hollins was very worried, not because he lost the first game.
The first game lost, and this series was in trouble, but they almost won. It was just that their coaching team made a mistake in predicting it, and they didn't expect the opponent to play like this.
They always thought that the opponent would use the pick-and-roll of Conley and Barria, Massinmi, Chandler, Brandon Knight, Marion and others as the core tactics, and Yao Ming and Nowitzki should be used to control points and key balls.
This is the core style of the Mavericks' play in the second half of the regular season, and they are not wrong in preparing for this.
Any team will prepare for this.
But I didn't expect that the opponent's tactics changed so much in the playoffs. Moreover, due to the changes in the offensive end, the defensive end was better than expected and more targeted.
However, they only lost 3 points in the end. Although they lost the first game, they hit the Grizzlies' spirit, but in general, they could find reasons to keep the players' confidence in the team meeting after the game.
After all, I only lost three points.
What worried Coach Hollins was Sun Ce's emotions. After the game last night, Sun Ce refused all interviews and stayed alone in the bathroom for an hour, without even attending the team meeting, so he went home directly.
In fact, this is very much beyond Coach Hollins' expectations. Based on his understanding of young players, if a young player scores 57 points with a high shooting rate and loses, either he is angry or unhappy.
, or they are dissatisfied with their teammates, and they will be frustrated if they are overwhelmed.
But it shouldn't be Sun Ce's reaction, it seems...it's very self-blame?
Coach Hollins learned from Zue that Sun Ce had been in the gym after he returned home last night, and then lay on the sofa without moving.
Sun Ce was very guilty of the feedback that Coach Hollins received and felt it was his personal problem.
This made Coach Hollins very confused and worried.
If he scored 57 points, Sun Ce would not dare to shoot more... Coach Hollins felt that he would be crazy!
The excellent opportunity for the basket offensive that Sun Ce's mid-range shot threat brings him is the key to their Grizzlies' dealing with the Mavericks. Randolph will be restricted very badly in this round of the series, and Sun Ce is their team's first.
One scorer!
No matter how worried he is, Coach Hollins has another headache. He doesn't understand the psychology of a guy like Sun Ce who became a monk halfway and started to officially get into basketball after entering the NBA.
It is very different from other NBA players who have become famous in high schools and even junior high schools, and those who can enter NBA are basically basketball geniuses since childhood.
What kind of thoughts will Sun Ce have? Coach Hollins, who was once a genius player and was used to the psychology of most NBA players, cannot figure it out!
...
...
After Sun Ce lost the game last night, he tossed himself in the gym for two hours. He was exhausted from practicing and returned to the sofa and slept like that all night.
After getting up in the morning, the self-blame feeling disappeared, and more because he learned something.
If you lose in the first game, you lose. It’s not a big deal. Didn’t you lose one game?
And he scored 57 points, is he a loss with Boss Qiao?
However, Sun Ce thinks that Boss Qiao is still powerful. If you lose, you must be the one who loses the most dazzlingly...
Last night's game made him understand something, even if he was strong, he could not win.
He scored 24 points in the first 18 minutes last night, but in fact he scored 24 points in the first 17 minutes, and the offense was cut off in the 18th minute.
At that time, he felt that it was just a physical problem. He didn't score two goals, so he allowed the opponent to score 4 points, widening the gap to 6 points.
So he chose to continue working alone next.
But now he has figured out a lot of things, and it cannot be done by himself!
The team can play such a good defense, limiting the opponent to only score 91 points in the first 47 minutes and 5 seconds, which depends on the team. The loss to the opponent on the offensive end is also because the team here is not doing well.
Indeed, he played very well last night with the opponent's defensive tactics, and the opponent never thought he could get 57 points, so the Grizzlies had a chance to win, but in the end Nowitzki and Jason Terry
Two three-pointers killed the game.
Maybe the Mavericks were also desperate for a while, and they only relied on the spot with three-pointers from Nowitzki and Jason Terry to save their lives.
But this made Sun Ce clearly understand what a championship-level strong team is.
It's not just a person! Even when Nowitzki came to earth last season, he had to rely on Kidd's attack to win, and Deshen Stevenson, Kidd, Barria, and Marion
If someone makes a three-pointer, Deshen Stevenson, Kidd, Chandler, Marion and others need to defend...
Otherwise, the score guarantee in the last quarter would not be enough, and Nowitzki could not even hold on to the key goal in the last quarter.
Sun Ce learned from his mistakes and learned that he was too arrogant and reliant on the star experience card. He felt that with the star experience card, he would be worry-free, so he had the regrets he had last night.
Although it was great to score points like this last night, Sun Ce understood that the Mavericks, who had Yao Ming, Nowitzki, such a good role player lineup and Carlisle as the head coach, must find a balance point.
There was indeed a chance to win last night. The Mavericks really didn't rely on single defense to defend him. He used the high-speed change of direction below the pick-and-roll + free throw line. He scored 24 points in the first 17 minutes and relied on himself.
Of course, it was also due to the restraint of his teammates. However, at the last moment, the Mavericks had already worn out the touch of his teammates, and they hit him so that he could not make it into the game. They even had a bad chance of shooting in the Chinese New Year, so they lost the game.
It doesn't mean they don't have the chance to win, but they have a chance.
It’s just to grasp a balance point...but the key is to defend like the opponent. How to find a balance point?
This is a problem! A big and big problem.
After thinking about it all morning, I found that the solution I thought of might be blocked by the other party. Sun Ce didn't think about it for the time being and was preparing to discuss it with his teammates and coaches during the team training in the afternoon.
After thinking it through, Sun Ce read the news.
Sure enough, I started to praise the Mavericks online.
However, Mr. Sun was also praised very much.
The Mavericks scored 57 points against such a strong defense, which is indeed amazing. It is compared with Jordan's second-year playoff score of 63 points against the Celtics because they both lost.
Moreover, from public opinion, Sun's 57 points received a higher evaluation than Jordan's 63 points, because the pace in that era was fast, Jordan's regular game was tied and played two overtime games.
Jordan scored 63 points.
The Grizzlies and Mavericks scored not more than 100 points in the match, and Sun Ce was more efficient.
Nowitzki also said in an interview with the live broadcast after the game: "I have never played against Jordan at his peak. I don't think it would be more terrifying than this. If Jason and I hadn't made three-pointers tonight,
I think I'll have nightmares."
Although he was praised very much, Sun Ce understood that this was related to the opponent's defensive strategy.
...
...
Having a veteran who is here and has All-Star strength is a blessing for any team.
After learning from Coach Hollins that Sun Ce was very self-blame, Teacher Na began to greet his teammates to make Sun Ce cheer up again.
The training arranged by the coaching team was to gather at 1 pm, but Nash called his teammates to the stadium in the morning and discussed how to "coax" Sun Ce.
Just coaxing them, they didn't expect that Sun Ce would blame himself for his 57 points, which made his teammates who did not perform well last night also feel a little guilty.
From a certain level, when he lost last night, Sun Ce was autistic for several hours, which made the Grizzlies team cohesion stronger. Sun Ce also became a blessing in disguise and further increased his influence in the team.
It is true that Sun Ce is too different from others. He scored 57 points with a high shooting rate but lost the game. He would blame his teammates more or less, but Sun Ce was blaming himself.
This makes my teammates feel so guilty!
However, Nash invited his teammates to have a meal at noon and decided how to make Sun Ce happy. When he returned to the stadium and waited for Sun Ce to come, he found that Sun Ce had arrived.
Chapter completed!
