Nine Hundred and Forty-Two. Starts Here and Ends Here

The road to triple-double seems to be unworkable!

After a few games, James' thinking became clearer and clearer.

Originally, Sun Ce was good at triple-doubles, but James' desire to win and the characteristics of his playing style destined that he would not be able to achieve triple-doubles as happily as the future triple-double king.

And he can't play like Sun Ce.

Sun Ce is the most important point for the Grizzlies to achieve their current record, but it is not a necessary point.

The players that the Grizzlies must need are two bears, Tony Allen, two emperors, two 3Ds with excellent talents, and Nash... Without these people, Sun Ce's current strength and team leadership ability are at most as good as Iraq's. Godala is about the same, and there are a few good teammates who can only reach seventh or eighth place in the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Sun Ce connects the team's offense and defense together and makes teammates cooperate better, which is the most critical point. But even without him, they are still fourth and fifth in the Western Conference. What Sun Ce has raised is the upper limit.

James is not this type of player. In the lineup the Heat created for him, he went all out on both ends of the offense and defense. At the same time, he also had to ensure that Wade suffered a serious decline and the season-shortened season saw frequent injuries to veterans. Score.

He is a superstar who can guarantee the lower limit of the team's strength, but it is difficult to raise the upper limit of a team. Of course, the lower limit guaranteed by him in his peak period is also high enough, the lower limit of division championship level.

And he discovered that there is a huge hidden danger in competing with Sun Ce for a triple-double. A very important point is that he is not as easy to get a triple-double as Sun Ce, and he is at a great disadvantage in rebounding.

But James can do it if he insists on getting a triple-double. He is confident that as long as he is more ruthless, he will have no problem getting 20 or 30 triple-doubles in a season. Not to mention more than Oscar Robertson, he is still confident of more than Chamberlain.

The main reason is that he is in his 9th season and Sun Ce is in his 3rd season!

No, Barkley seized on this to attack him.

Whether he rebounded or not is not the most important thing. The fundamental reason that can attack him is that Sun Ce will have more triple-doubles in three seasons than him. This allows Barkley to accuse him of rebounding, because indeed, he wants to It's unlikely that someone like Sun Ce would average 10+ rebounds per game, which also made him never get more than 10 triple-doubles in the season when he averaged 8.6 assists per game.

It is precisely because he did not collect statistics before and did not have many triple-doubles that the two minutes of rebounding became extremely abrupt.

And, with Barkley, there are bound to be others.

Then you have to find another way!

James must change his direction and fight for something to increase his chances of winning MVP.

Best defensive player?

This depends on luck, James is not very confident.

The assist king... This is too late. It's not impossible to fight for it earlier.

James turned on his computer and looked at the data list on the NBA's official website. Finally, his eyes settled on the score list.

Wade and Mike Miller have been absent a lot. Although McGrady came to the Heat to strengthen the forward and defensive lines, even if McGrady starts, he will only have 10+3+4 strength. Comprehensive is comprehensive, but it takes him McGrady can no longer handle which aspect he is specifically responsible for.

Currently, Kobe ranks first with 29.1 points per game, Anthony is second with 29 points per game, and Durant is third with 28.8 points per game.

He is fourth, averaging 28.2 points per game.

After playing the Clippers, the Grizzlies continued to stay in Los Angeles. Lily Collins also came to watch last night's game. Naturally, there was an angry fight at night, but I didn't dare to shout too loudly last night. There were still people living in the next room. A little sister.

At this time, Sun Ce disliked Zu Ge very much...

After Sun Ce woke up this morning,

Lily Collins still has to sleep in and review the script with big star Julianne Moore for the past two days. Although she likes to make comedies, she is a great actor who is very strict in everything. If she is paired with her, the film will definitely be good. Yes, but the mental pressure is huge. I finally relied on my boyfriend to find a reason to take a day off. I want to have a good sleep today.

Sun Ce got up early and went to the hotel restaurant for breakfast, where he happened to meet Randolph.

"Zach heard that you didn't go out to fool around last night? That's so rare." Sun Ce joked.

"Do you think I'm like you? I'm playing an away game and I'm asking my girlfriend to come watch the game. I have to prepare well for tomorrow night's game." Randolph's tone was filled with envy and hatred.

"I can't help it because I'm too handsome, but I think you are too annoyed by your previous girlfriend to go out and have fun, right? She seems to have secretly given birth to the child without telling you. If you go out and fool around again, you will probably be beaten by your wife. Damn, Fu En’s bad temper..."

"Don't talk about this, I have a headache..."

Sun Ce felt that Randolph was really miserable. When he went to Boston to play basketball in the past two years, he felt how good life was at Harvard University. Then every time he went to Boston to play away games, he would go there to have fun. When the opponent was on vacation, Randolph would also provide money. Invite the other party to come and play, and the other party doesn't want Randolph's other money, and he seems to really fall in love with him. Who knows that the college student has not taken any safety measures for two years, and suddenly told him that his son was born a while ago. If you don't believe it, you can Get a DNA test...

Randolph's wife, Fawn Randolph, was also a ruthless person. She went to get the child back. After bargaining, she gave him a breakup fee of 10 million U.S. dollars to help Randolph, whose public image had improved, settle the matter. It didn't cause a bigger disturbance, but it also caused Randolph's voice at home to plummet.

After Sun Ce found out about this, he felt that top students just couldn't be offended.

You can still make $10 million in two years while still in college. That’s awesome!

After chatting with Randolph for a while, after breakfast, the two gathered with their teammates and coaches to prepare for the game at the Toyota Center, the Lakers training facility...

…

…

The game against the Lakers has entered the countdown to the Grizzlies' regular season. This is the Grizzlies' 20th game to last in the regular season this season.

The Grizzlies are beginning to really prepare for the playoffs.

It’s just that this year is difficult. Most of the players on the Grizzlies are not the type of players who are very resistant to grass. Except for Sun Ce, there are only two players who are resistant to grass, one is Randolph and the other is Nash, and Randolph is also 31. He is 32 years old and will turn 32 in a few months; Nash is already 38 years old.

The good thing is that the team can rest and the lineup is deep.

But there are good and bad aspects of taking breaks. No, the last time we played against the Lakers this season, we felt the impact of taking breaks on the team's state.

Nash's performance today was mediocre, with 13 points and 5 assists. The Grizzlies only had 19 assists, while the Lakers had 26 assists.

The only advantage the Grizzlies have in the game is rebounding. The Grizzlies had 44 rebounds and the Lakers had 40. All other positive statistics were dominated by the Lakers. The highest score was Kobe's 28. points, the highest assists were Paul's 12, and it was not Sun Ce who blocked the most shots, but Gasol, who blocked 4 shots.

In terms of turnovers and fouls, the Grizzlies made 15 turnovers and committed 16 fouls.

In fact, the Grizzlies' offense was okay at the beginning, but the connection on the defensive end was not good enough. It was not that Sun Ce could not make up for it quickly enough, but that there were problems in the previous games. The offense was good, but the defense was a little slack. When the Lakers played After a wave of fierce attacks, the Grizzlies suddenly woke up and seemed too impatient when they tried to strengthen their defense.

The Lakers are obviously not comparable to the Raptors, Wizards, Kings, Trail Blazers, and Clippers. Impatience means that flaws are prone to occur. Paul, Gasol, and Lamar Odom, the three masters of organizing offense, took advantage of the opportunity. Led the team to widen the point difference in one fell swoop, and the Grizzlies fell behind by 16 points after halftime.

The key is that Sun Ce has been playing well. He doesn't know how he can do better. Using star experience cards is not a good option. He had 15 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists in the half, which couldn't be better. .

It was not until halfway through the fourth quarter that Sun Ce was replaced, and the Grizzlies surrendered. Although Sun Ce, who played 39 minutes, scored 26 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 blocks, he made 6 turnovers, 96 to 115. The Grizzlies lost by 19 points and their 6-game winning streak was ended by the Lakers. This time, the 6-game winning streak started with the Lakers and ended with the Lakers.

…

…

The loss to the Lakers sounded the alarm for the Grizzlies.

After returning to the hotel after the game, the team went to Coach Hollins’ room for a meeting.

After some discussion, the team's belief was strengthened and some things were clarified.

They currently have 38 wins and 9 losses, a winning rate of 80%, which is incredible. Moreover, they still have an 80% winning rate after losing just one game, which is unimaginable in this shortened season.

You must know that before the season, it was predicted that there would be no 50-win team this season, because the last shortened season, with a 50-game schedule, the best record was 37 wins.

But their Grizzlies team seems to be heading for 55 wins.

Sometimes the game was won too easily, and I didn't feel much about it before, but after analyzing it in this team meeting, they realized one thing clearly.

With such a deep lineup, their status will fluctuate, and other teams will naturally do the same.

Therefore, some games that they were originally in bad shape and difficult to win were able to win easily. Their opponents may have been in extremely poor shape at the time, and their advantage returned.

Moreover, they made a trade midway through the season, replaced two substitutes, and signed a big pitcher. To say that he has not been fully integrated into the team, and sometimes it really affects the performance of other people, just because of the shrinkage. During the season, the status of other teams is also unstable. Injuries, trades, fatigue and other factors have caused the entire league to be affected in the regular season.

Before losing to the Lakers this time, their record of 17 wins and 2 losses in 19 games was so dazzling that they themselves ignored it.

This made Sun Ce and others vigilant and not to be careless just because they won too much.

Especially Sun Ce, he has seen the most horrific regular season record in history and lost the championship.

But once you understand this kind of thing, it doesn't matter much. Just calm down and play the next game well.

Losing to the Lakers is not a big deal. They have defeated the Lakers twice before. They have the upper hand in the regular season games. Even if they win first and then lose, it does not cause psychological pressure on the Lakers, and they will not do it either. There are psychological disadvantages.

Moreover, losing this game made them wary and think on the bright side, which was also a good thing.

Of course, there is also pressure. The Lakers' four major stars paired with a super lineup of role players will not be easy to deal with in the playoffs.

…

In this game with the Lakers, Sun Ce had a triple-double in four consecutive games, but lost. Although he was not attacked by public opinion, his performance of 9 of 20 shots was very good, but it also made him understand that his strength is not enough. .

Once a teammate performs poorly, does not cheat, and does not feel explosive, such as the one against the Spurs in the opening game, it is really impossible to do better.

But in addition to my own good performance last night, there was another reason for not using the star experience card, that is, it was unnecessary.

Sun Ce thought that the game against Paul would continue to trigger the SS-level event, but it didn't. It seems that he has to wait until the playoffs against Paul. After all, the event in the regular season has been triggered, but it just failed.

The next morning after playing against the Lakers, Sun Ce said goodbye to Lily Collins and brought Zu Ge with the team to Minneapolis. The last game of the 5-game away game was against the Timberwolves on the 28th.

The game between the Grizzlies and the Lakers last night was a hot game. There was another hot game in the East, the game between the Heat and the Bulls. James did not get a triple-double, which made Sun Ce lead James by two in the number of triple-doubles in his career.

However, the Heat also won last night, defeating the Bulls and winning 6 consecutive games! James scored 45 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds and 4 steals!
