Nine Hundred and Sixty-Eight. Let’s Get Excited, Playoffs!
89 to 82, the Grizzlies defeated the Mavericks in an away game and won 7 consecutive games.
For those who didn't know the score, they would have thought the two teams were playing fiercely.
In fact, it was Klay Thompson, Tony Allen, Jimmy Butler, and Paul George who scored in double figures, and the Grizzlies won...
Sun Ce sat on the sidelines and watched his team lose even if they wanted to. He watched Aaron Gray play 30 minutes and score 8 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks...
When the final whistle sounded, the system prompt also came.

Seeing that there were already two A-level lottery cards in the prop space, Sun Ce didn't know whether to be happy or regretful.
However, this untied the knot in Sun Ce's heart.
Although, from all aspects, he would not meet the Mavericks in the first round, even if this incident failed, Sun Ce felt that this choice was the right one.
but! Sun Ce is very excited to play against the Mavericks soon!
After looking at the event goals, don’t worry about the following description. That is the situation when they are not encountered in the first round. For example, the Mavericks are sixth or seventh, and they are eliminated in the first or second round, and the Grizzlies enter. A situation that only happens in the Western Conference Finals.
Now it's very simple, just kill the Mavericks in the first round and you'll get new skills!
And there are advanced rewards. Last year, the Grizzlies were defeated by the Mavericks 4-1. This year, if they can get revenge 4-1 or sweep, they can get advanced rewards.
That is, the star experience card of Silver Horn King that is matched with the skill of Golden Rooster Independence!
But there is one thing to say: Sun Ce himself couldn't stand it when he saw the poor court control skills of his coaching staff.
Teacher Tony made 7 of 16 shots, 4 of 6 free throws, and scored 18 points. This is simply amazing.
The Mavericks' control of the court doesn't seem to have much trace, they just don't let the good offense play, and don't let the good defense play.
They are very good here. Teacher Tony has 18 points and Jimmy has 15 points. These two have the highest scores...
But there was really nothing they could do. They asked Lewis to play in isolation. As a result, Lewis made 2 of 2 shots from the three-point line and was quickly replaced...
When a player comes on the court, he will definitely play hard and will not make random shots. Even if he makes a few random shots, he will try his best to make them and will not make random shots.
Because the Grizzlies rested a lot, Nash, Randolph, Gasol, and Tony Allen all played between 51 and 56 games this season, which means other players who don’t rest have more opportunities to play. , in good condition.
Seeing everyone on the Mavericks team laughing non-stop after losing, Sun Ce cursed in his heart: Shameless!
Coach Hollins was also quite helpless, but now that the matter had come to this, he couldn't help but feel happy. He could win this all, so if you beat the Mavericks, just beat the Mavericks! Preparations for the first round with the Mavericks had already begun.
There's just a chance to avoid the Mavericks so give it a try, but if you don't avoid it, take the challenge head on!
…
Although the final game between the Grizzlies and the Mavericks was not exciting, the ratings were high, and the fans saw a lot of scenes that they could not see under normal circumstances.
For example, Teacher Tony counterattacked with the ball and made a one-stop layup, little Klay cut in to catch the ball and dunked on the neck, Barea flew over the net and dunked, Marion turned around and layup in the low post...
This is considered to be the highlight of Shaq's top five game, and the ratings are still very high. More than 14 million people paid to watch the game live on T.N.T, which was much more than the expected 10 million people who paid.
When the Grizzlies defeated the Mavericks and the Mavericks secured eighth place in the Western Conference, the Lakers played with all their main players.

…
The day after the Grizzlies played the Mavericks, when fans were still discussing their most embarrassing battle with the Mavericks, Sun Ce had already returned to Memphis with the team.
The last game last night, that is, the game between the Lakers and the Warriors, ended. After the rankings of the East and West were all determined, the schedule has been released.
The four series between the Heat and the Bucks, the Pacers and the Knicks, the Lakers and the Clippers, and the Spurs and the Jazz will start on April 30.
The Grizzlies and Mavericks will play on May 1st, and the Thunder and Nuggets, Bulls and Hawks, 76ers and Celtics will also play on the same day.
After arriving in Memphis, Sun Ce returned home and looked at the schedule first. The first four games are on May 1st, 3rd, 6th, and 8th, which is similar to previous years, except that the playoffs will be delayed by 10 days compared to previous years.
Next, there are 3 days of preparation time today. There is no training arrangement today. There will be training tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. On the first day of next month, we will start the third playoff match with the Mavericks in three years at home.
Suddenly remembering that this is the third time to play against the Mavericks in the playoffs, Sun Ce suddenly discovered something that he had never seen before. They seem to have become "enemies" with the Mavericks!
The main reason is that he, Sun, has encountered the Mavericks every time he plays in the playoffs since entering the NBA!
Thinking about it, Sun Ce felt that it was quite exciting...
After reading the online discussion about last night's game, Sun Ce found that the fans were quite happy to watch it.
Indeed, Sun Ce also found Kenny Smith's comments when he was commentating last night's game very interesting.
Kenny Smith said at the beginning of the game: "In fact, the last game of the regular season between these two teams, winning or losing is not important, they will play in the playoffs soon, and the playoffs are the most important..."
Most fans and media have the same view. The two teams played very hard in this game, but it was only in the regular season. The playoffs will be the real fight.
And this did not affect Sun Ce's evaluation in the eyes of fans and media, because he rested in the last game! In the six games before this game, he got two triple-doubles, two 50+ and one of them was 60+. His performance at the end of the season was extremely crazy!
At 12 noon, the best players of the month in the East and West in April were announced.
In the East, Pierce averaged 25.3 points, 6 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game in April, leading the team to a record of 12 wins and 5 losses, helping the Celtics to make up for the loss of less than 50% of the winning rate after falling to 24 wins and 25 losses, and entered the playoffs with the sixth place in the East.
In the West, the last 7 consecutive wins were mainly due to the 6 consecutive wins that Sun Ce had won before, which allowed Sun Ce to win the third monthly player of the season!
The final rankings of the MVPs of the major lists have also come out. In T.N.T., Sun Ce ranked first, Kobe second, James third, Rose fourth, Parker fifth, Durant sixth, Evans seventh, Hibbert eighth, Howard ninth, and Lawson tenth.
In ESPN, James ranked first, Sun Ce ranked second, Kobe third, Parker fourth, Rose fifth...
In Sports Illustrated. Kobe ranked first, Sun Ce ranked second, Rose third, James fourth, Parker fifth...
Sun Ce looked at the rankings given by the three major lists, and all of them were him, Kobe, James, Rose, and Parker ranked in the top five.
The tendency of the three major lists is also very clear. Sports Illustrated, owned by Time Warner, naturally supports Kobe. They gave the Lakers 20 years and 5 billion broadcasting fees. Kobe has the opportunity to get it, so of course they support Kobe.
ESPN has always supported James and Rose, while T.N.T supports him and Parker.
However, Sun Ce is unsure. It seems that both ESPN and Sports Illustrated ranked him second. Some voters on ESPN may give him the second vote, or rather give him to Kobe; Sports Illustrated is similar, preferring to give him the second vote rather than James...
But the final result still depends on the actual vote.
Everything is still unknown now. He does have many advantages, but if he wins the MVP, it will be two consecutive MVPs, which is more difficult than Kobe and James.
After the Lakers' game ended last night, the ranking was also determined.
This makes James' chance of winning the MVP smaller, because after Kobe scored 38 points in the last game, he averaged 31.1 points per game, surpassing James who averaged 30.9 points per game, and won the scoring title this season!
Howard played 60 games, averaging 15.6 rebounds per game, surpassing Sun Ce who averaged 13.8 rebounds per game to win the rebounding title.
Sun Ce played 65 games, averaging 3.8 blocks per game, surpassing Ibaka who averaged 3.6 blocks per game to win the blocking title.
In terms of assists, Rondo is the only one who averages 10+ assists per game. He averages 11.7 assists per game, which is more than twice higher than Westbrook, who averages 9.1 assists per game. Nash is third with 8.6 assists per game, and James is fourth with 8.3 assists per game.
In terms of steals, Conley is amazing. He averaged 2.4 steals per game and won the first data king award in his career. In fact, Paul has the highest, averaging 2.5 steals per game, but Paul has only played 26 games. The number of appearances and total steals did not meet the requirements for entering the official list. James averaged 2 steals per game and ranked second.
The regular season has ended. This morning, after the fans discussed several games last night, at noon, the best of the month, the list of the three authoritative media came out, and the data king was determined by the NBA official. There were waves of news, and the fans' attention was also shifted to the major awards of the regular season.
Hotly discussed data king, MVP, best defensive player, best rookie and other personal awards, predictions for the best lineup and best defensive lineup, etc., have become the latest hot topics among fans.
Sun Ce read the news for a while, turned off the computer, and no longer paid attention to what the fans and the media said.
No matter what they say, it is not so important to him and his team. Now, the most important thing is the next playoffs!
It is possible to be eliminated in the first round. Of course, he is definitely unwilling to do so. Moreover, this shortened season this year is his chance to reach the top, and he must fight!
There are two bears, two emperors, two 3Ds, Mr. Na, Mr. Tony... He doesn't think they are worse than anyone else!
Even if his real strength is not worthy of MVP, he has worked hard and tried his best to play his own characteristics in the team and help the team win more games.
Moreover, his "arsenal" is now full!
After the NBA official website confirmed the data king award and the team sent a message to inform him that he would accept the "award plate" for the block king tomorrow, the system prompt came, and there was another star experience card!
In the first round, they will play against the Mavericks. Either they will get revenge or they will be eliminated in the eighth round. Sun Ce is actually excited by the feeling of facing the blood!
