Chapter 109 Shocking Victory(2/2)

Looking back, Randolph was furious and struck two again. He just couldn't swallow this breath!

When he struggled to push away the two double-teamers, when he turned around, Sun Yi cut off the basketball.

After successfully stealing the ball, Sun Yi quickly dribbled the ball forward and launched a counterattack, assisting Laga Bell to hit a three-pointer.

On the Grizzlies bench, head coach Hollins couldn't sit still when he saw this situation and immediately requested a timeout.

After returning from the timeout, both sides deployed their main lineups.

The Warriors still play run-and-gun in an attempt to disrupt the Grizzlies.

But the Grizzlies players were fully prepared and did not get stuck, playing at a familiar slow pace.

In this way, in the remaining time of the second quarter, the two teams played inextricably, and the point difference remained within 10 points.

At the end of the first half, the score on the big screen was 54 to 62. The Warriors led by 8 points entering the second half.

After a short 15-minute intermission, the second half of the game began.

As soon as the third quarter started, Curry hit a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line, giving the Warriors a good start.

In the following rounds, the Warriors picked up the offensive rhythm. Sun Yi assisted Morrow and Maggette to hit three-pointers one after another, and a wave of "three-point rain" began.

The Grizzlies hurriedly adjusted their defensive strategy and expanded their defense.

When the Warriors see the Grizzlies changing their tactics, they naturally have a way to break them.

Curry and Moreau maintained threats from beyond the three-point line, while Maggette and Anthony Randolph cut toward the basket.

Sun Yi took Randolph to the outside, leaving Gasol alone on the inside, which was very weak.

Gasol was forced to run back and forth by the Warriors in the first half. He did not have enough energy to maintain high-intensity defense, which made it difficult for him to protect the frame.

Therefore, Sun Yi assisted Maggette and Anthony Randolph to successfully attack the frame many times, widening the point difference in one fell swoop.

Just like that, the Grizzlies failed to withstand the Warriors' strong firepower in the third quarter and suddenly collapsed.

At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors led by 22 points entering the fourth quarter.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies players adjusted their mentality and controlled the rhythm, but failed to complete the reversal.

Just relying on two points to grind slowly is not the answer, but the Grizzlies have no three-point shooters, so chasing points is very slow.

In this way, the Warriors maintained their lead until the end.

When the harsh buzzer sounded, Oracle Arena began to boil.

This is undoubtedly an upset!

In the end, the Warriors defeated the Grizzlies 112-96.

Not long after the game ended, the best player of the game was displayed on the big screen.

There is no suspense, Sun Yi won this honor again.

In 32 minutes on the court, he scored a near-triple-double of 21 points, 8 rebounds, 15 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.

The main reason is that Sun Yi wanted to lead the team to launch a counterattack and did not deliberately grab backcourt rebounds. Moreover, the Grizzlies team's internal strength is so strong that it is not so easy to grab the basketball.

Other Warriors players also performed very well.

Curry made 7 of 13 three-pointers and scored 27 points, 3 assists and 2 steals.

Maggette had 16 points and 4 rebounds; Anthony Randolph had 8 points and 9 rebounds; Morrow had 15 points and 2 blocks.

For the Grizzlies, the most outstanding performer is Zach Randolph.

In 38 minutes on the court, he scored a double-double of 24 points and 11 rebounds.

Other Grizzlies players performed admirably.

Conley had 11 points and 5 assists; Gasol had 14 points and 8 rebounds; Mayo had 19 points and 2 rebounds; Gay had 16 points and 4 rebounds.

After this game, the Warriors' current record is 2 wins and 1 loss, and their ranking has risen to fourth in the Western Conference.

Although this ranking cannot be maintained, it does not prevent Warriors fans from being ecstatic.

This year's Warriors team is indeed different, and fans are looking forward to it.



Not long after the game ended, as the two teams' best players, Sun Yi and Zach Randolph naturally became the focus of interviews by media reporters.

"Zach, can you accept the Grizzlies' upset loss tonight?"

"It's normal for a game to be won or lost. I think the Warriors played very well and deserved to win this game."

"Sun Sun, who is opposite you, got a near-triple-double. What do you think of this?"

"Sun's performance was very good. He is very talented and caused me some trouble. I will attach great importance to him next time we play against each other."

What this means is: "In the first match, I didn't pay attention to it and didn't use my full strength, so I let the rookie produce good data. When we face each other next time, I will understand the characteristics of the rookie's play style and I will definitely beat him."

!”

After Zach Randolph finished his interview, he squeezed through the crowd with his extremely large body and walked towards the tunnel.

"Next time we fight, I will definitely defeat that nasty rookie! It's a duel!"

Lan Doufu didn't know what it would be like to fight Sun Yi again.

On the other side, Sun Yi was also being interviewed by media reporters.

"Sun, congratulations on your quasi-triple-double and leading the team to an upset victory. How do you feel about this?"

"Winning the game is not due to me alone, it is the joint efforts of all the Warriors."

Sun Yi did not take any credit and answered the question very calmly.

"At this stage, you are temporarily ranked first in the rookie rankings. Do you think you can maintain this ranking until the end of the regular season?"

Sun Yi knew that the reporter who asked the question was trying to trick him again, and he would not let these troublemakers succeed this time.

"I'm not a prophet. I don't know what will happen in the future. And my goal now is to play well in every game. As for the ranking on this list, I don't really care."

The media reporters were greatly disappointed after hearing this. They thought that Sun Yi would be young and frivolous and promise something, but it seemed that they had underestimated the young man in front of them.

After that, Sun Yi answered a few irrelevant questions, and the post-match interview ended here.

After accepting the interview, Sun Yi squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the players' tunnel.

In the players' tunnel, Maggette, who had been waiting for a long time, stopped Sun Yi.

"Sun, thank you for sending me some wonderful messages today.

Don't take what happened in the tactical meeting to heart. We old people just want some respect, and it's not directed at you newcomers.

Sun, let’s just keep going like this this season, okay?”

Maggette's purpose in stopping Sun Yi was to resolve the previous conflicts privately and to recognize Sun Yi's status in the team.

"Okay, Corey, let's keep playing like this and make the playoffs!"

After hearing this, Sun Yi smiled and nodded, and then gave Maggette a high-five.

This is the result he wants to see. Only by solving all the unstable factors in the Warriors locker room can all the Warriors players be united and work hard for the same goal.
