Nine Hundred and Sixty-Four. MVP Storm

Playing against the Bobcats, played for 42 minutes, shot 42 times... It's amazing!

Sun Ce thought that he played only 29 minutes against the Bobcats yesterday, basically only when Kemba Walker was on the court, that is, in the time period when the opponent played relatively well, when things got chaotic, he would just play with Ridnour + Neal, one of the two talented 3D players, and the two emperors.

If I had known this, I would have used the A-level star experience card I got against the Timberwolves yesterday, and chose Boozer to experience the left-handed star. I should have been able to get 30 or 40 points. If I was a little shameless, I could shoot 20 times by myself in the first half, and use this card to recover my strength in the second half to shoot another 20 times, maybe I could get 50+.

But even if it's a brush, you have to have this strength!

Just like he beat the Timberwolves and got 65 points, a high score is a high score. If you can get 60+ easily by relying on the right to shoot, 60+ would have been everywhere.

As a player, Sun Ce knows it very well. He must say that he doesn't care about high scores, but if there is a chance, everyone will take it, and one is more active than the other!

But the reality is very cruel. Most players don't have the physical strength to shoot 30 times, let alone 40 times. For example, Sun Ce, without the star experience card and physical potion, his hands are exhausted after shooting 25 or 6 times in a game.

This is different from training, completely different. Training to shoot 100 or even 200 times in a row, continuous shooting, it is estimated that it is not as good as the shooting fatigue after a game.

James's first 60+ in his career naturally attracted widespread attention no matter who the opponent was.

Kobe scored 40+ in 4 of the last 9 games, 35+ in 6 times, and only one game with less than 30 points. He was almost sitting on the throne of the scoring champion, and James caught up with 62 points in the next game.

In addition to Sun Ce's 65 points in a single game, the support rate of the three MVP candidates is evenly matched in terms of public opinion.

Each has his own reasons, and the three of them have really played MVP performances due to various factors.

Before the start of the season, even Sun Ce did not expect such a situation.

Sun Ce won the MVP last season, and this season everyone thought that Evans, Rose, Durant, and Howard would compete for the MVP.

As a result, Howard went to the 76ers, which would inevitably take away some votes from Evans, or neither of them would be considered an MVP candidate.

Durant has improved this season compared to last season, but his performance is not as great as expected. He performed explosively in the early stage of the season, but after the All-Star Weekend, he averaged "only" 25.3 points per game, pulling his average points from 30.3 points before the All-Star Weekend to 28.1 points per game now.

Rose's performance is very good, and he has slightly improved on the level of last season. Although the improvement is not big, he has steadily improved in such a shortened season and his performance is very stable. He should be the first favorite for MVP.

But as the game went on, in March, James strongly occupied the MVP rankings, followed by Sun Ce and then Kobe.

Fans and the media all thought it was crazy.

For some reason, it seemed that in just one month, the situation suddenly became a situation where the strongest players of the old, middle and new generations competed for the MVP.

Kobe is a veteran in his 15th year of career, James is a representative player who is barely in the middle generation in his 9th year of career, and Sun Ce is the only player of the new generation who won the MVP in his third season.

The representatives of the three periods, with a span of 12 years of playing experience, actually stood together to compete for the MVP, which was really surprising.

…

On the morning of the 19th, Sun Ce and his teammates conducted offensive tactical training under the leadership of offensive assistant coach David Fizdale.

With 50 wins already, Sun Ce received feedback from the coaching staff that the remaining games were not important, and winning 1 to 2 games out of 5 would be enough.

At present, the Heat has played 62 games, 47 wins and 15 losses, and there are 4 games left. The Lakers have 46 wins and 15 losses, and there are 5 games left. Even if these two teams win all the remaining games, they can only win 51 games at most. The Spurs and Bulls are both 46 wins and 16 losses, and there are 4 games left, so they can only win 50 games at most.

And the Grizzlies have the advantage of winning against these four teams in the regular season. They beat the Lakers 2-1, the Heat 1-0, and the Spurs and Bulls. As long as the Grizzlies can get 51 wins, the regular season championship will be stable. If the Heat and the Lakers lose one of the last few games, the Grizzlies can also win the regular season championship with the last 5 consecutive losses.

So there is nothing wrong with this arrangement. It is reasonable for the coaching staff to practice tactics and prepare for the playoffs.

After the morning training, Sun Ce thought about it for an afternoon.

Something must be done!

Kobe and James are competing so fiercely for the scoring title that the attention has already overshadowed him. If he hadn't just scored 65 points, he might have fallen behind in terms of attention.

Although these two teams have basically lost the chance to compete for the regular season championship, the Heat must compete for the first place in the East, and the Lakers must compete with the Spurs for the second place in the West.

Moreover, although they will definitely not have a home advantage if they meet the Grizzlies in the playoffs, they will definitely want to ensure that they have a home advantage against all other teams.

In this case, the two will definitely fight for victory in the last few games. As long as James plays with all his strength, his data will not be bad, at least at the level of 30+7+7. Kobe has now become a pure scorer most of the time, a scoring maniac.

If Sun can score 20+10+5 steadily in every game, he really can't compete with these two.

Since James has set such a precedent against the Bobcats, let's have fun together!

…

…

At 5:30 pm on the 19th, the game between the Grizzlies and the Trail Blazers started.

The Grizzlies still had Nash, Sun Ce, Paul George, Randolph, and Gasol as the starting lineup.

On the Trail Blazers side, Aldridge is really a tough player. Since his starting position and playing time were stable in his sophomore year, his attendance rate has been above 90% for five years, and he occasionally has to play center, which is incredible.

And poor JJ Hickson, after playing as a center for 19 games, was written off for the season...

So, in this game, the Trail Blazers could only let Aldridge play as a center, and the starting lineup of Felton, Jamal Crawford, Matthews, Batum, and Aldridge appeared.

This lineup is really too short.

Like the last game, Nash, Tony Allen, Randolph, and Gasol played only in the first half. This was an adjustment made based on the game against the Timberwolves. Several big players were concentrated in the first half. No matter what the score was, Sun Ce led the team in the second half. Everyone was happy to see Sun Ce's various tricks.

However, after the game started, Sun Ce had a strong desire to shoot. He kept cutting in, and even looked for three-point shooting opportunities. He had to shoot even if he couldn't make it.

Nash, Gasol, and Randolph were all willing to give Sun Ce the ball. They felt that Sun Ce's three-point talent had been demonstrated. He had explosive power, but lacked stability. It was right to shoot more in the game.

After Sun Ce used Korver's star experience card, although he could not find the indescribable wonderful state at that time, he could remember Korver's running method at that time by watching the video. Although it was definitely not as good as Korver's, Korver's off-ball running in the league was probably only better than Morrow and Ray Allen, but it was enough to copy the current Trail Blazers.

In fact, Sun Ce also found some tips on switching defenses from Korver's star experience card, as well as the timing of switching defenses.

So, Sun Ce played for 22 minutes in the first half and shot 19 times, 9 of 19 shots, including 2 of 8 three-pointers and 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 25 points in the first half.

The Grizzlies also led the Trail Blazers by 12 points with 53 to 41.

Sun Ce fought hard and almost collapsed after the first half, but at halftime, Sun Ce went to the bathroom, dried his body, changed his jersey, and used Boshka...

When he returned to the court, Sun Ce put on goggles that he hadn't seen for a long time!

Even if Sun Ce didn't say it, the coaches and players on the Grizzlies knew that he would definitely compete with Kobe and James for the MVP. It was seen in the first half, and the number of shots in the first half was higher than the average number of shots in the season.

So in the third quarter, Coach Hollins let Sun Ce continue to play, and the lineup of Ridnour, Paul George, Klay Thompson, and Jordan gave Sun Ce the best chance to score.

Boshka did not improve Sun Ce much. Sun Ce was better than Bosh in mid-range shooting. Bosh weighed less than 100 kilograms this season, and was weak in confrontation. Sun Ce's A+ level was better in explosive confrontation. Sun Ce's biggest improvement was the awareness of cutting in, running, receiving the ball and shooting three-pointers, pick-and-roll splitting awareness, and Bosh's A-level three-pointers.

Relying on similar body shapes, although they are a few centimeters shorter, they are both tall and thin players, and Bosh's effective height on the neck is not much higher than that of Sun, so the matching degree is okay, 70%, plus 20% matching degree bonus, Sun Ce temporarily got A-level three-pointers.

In the second half, Sun Ce played for 18 minutes, 10 of 17 shots, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, plus 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 26 points. He played for 40 minutes in the whole game, 19 of 36 shots, 4 of 13 three-pointers, 9 of 10 free throws, and scored 51 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, and 3 steals.

Coach Hollins has racked his brains to control the game, and tried very hard not to expand the lead too much. Fortunately, Jamal Crawford of the Trail Blazers scored 38 points tonight, so that the Trail Blazers did not let the point difference expand to more than 20 points.

In the end, relying on Sun Ce's 51 points, the Grizzlies defeated the Trail Blazers 112-97, won three consecutive victories, and locked the regular season championship!

…

In three days, Sun Ce first scored 65 points, James followed with 62 points, and Sun Ce immediately scored 51 points. The fans were so excited and the media was also happy.

On April 20, Kobe finally responded. In the game against the Spurs, Kobe, led by Paul who scored 9 points and 16 assists, shot 24 of 44, only 2 of 7 three-pointers, but made 14 mid-range shots, plus 5 of 5 free throws, scoring 55 points! Overtaking James in one fell swoop and returning to the top of the scoring list again!

This is a fight! The MVP competition at the last moment!
