Nine Hundred and Eighty-Six. Unstoppable, Advance to the Second Round!

On the night when Sun Ce won the MVP, the Grizzlies were full of momentum and played very good defense.

95 to 81, the Grizzlies won two consecutive victories, won the battle of Tianwang Mountain, and tied the score to 3 to 2!

Sun Ce played 44 minutes in this game, scoring 27 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals on 10 of 25 shots. He took a stamina potion at halftime. As long as he was on the court, Sun Ce would defend when he needed to and counterattack when he needed to. On the counterattack, he shot when he needed to shoot and passed when he needed to pass. It was a pretty good game.

The Mavericks played the worst offense in the entire series tonight. In fact, the Mavericks also did a very good defense, but their shooting performance was too poor.

After beating the score to 3-2, the Grizzlies will go to Dallas again tomorrow to play the sixth game of the series on the 12th.

The games that night also included games between the Thunder and the Nuggets, the 76ers and the Celtics, and the Bulls and the Hawks.

The Thunder eliminated the Nuggets 4-1 to advance to the second round, and the Bulls also defeated the Hawks 4-1 to advance to the second round; the 76ers won the Battle of Tianwangshan and are about to go to Boston to play the sixth series field.

May 11th is another big day in the NBA. The draft lottery will be held today.

Sun Ce was ready to wait and see the results in the evening. After arriving in Dallas, he went to the American Airlines Center with his teammates to prepare for the game.

This year's lottery has nothing to do with the Grizzlies. They have this year's first round in hand, but it's only the 30th pick. There's no need to discuss who is better. If you want to understand some rookies, You can wait until the summer league to learn more about it.

Finally, he went from 0 to 1 behind to lead 3 to 2. Now Sun Ce wants to win the first round in the away game!

Not only Sun Ce, but his teammates also think the same way. If they want to take advantage of the victory, if it really drags to the tiebreaker, if they are unlucky and get hacked, it will be a lifelong shame!

Since the series has started, both sides have a clear understanding of the strength of their opponents. The players of both teams have high IQs and can make some judgments about what kind of game choices the opponent is likely to make under what circumstances.

At this stage, it’s all about feel, physical strength, and tactical execution!

It's hard to say how it feels, you won't know until the game.

The Grizzlies have a huge advantage in physical strength.

In terms of tactical execution, the Grizzlies' defensive tactical execution is one of the best in the league. The Mavericks' offensive execution is better, and their defensive execution is not bad either. The Grizzlies will suffer a little.

However, unexpected situations may occur in terms of feel and tactical execution, but physical strength will not!

Sun Ce is very confident in himself and his teammates.

An afternoon of preparation time passed, and in the evening, after dinner with Lily Collins and Zu Ge, they watched a comedy variety show and relaxed.

Before going to practice the Nash training method at 9 o'clock, Sun Ce looked at the lottery results.

Originally, Sun Ce thought that this time the No. 1 pick might be taken away by the Bobcats, because the Bobcats were last in the league with 6 wins and 60 losses. If the Bobcats could not get the No. 1 pick, it would look really pitiful. This is NBA history. Worst winning rate, lowest number of wins.

However, even if the Bobcats were so miserable, the No. 1 pick did not fall to them.

With 18 wins and 48 losses, the Hornets, last in the Western Conference and second in the league, once again won the No. 1 pick. Although the Bobcats were still unlucky to not get the No. 1 pick this time, they were not as unlucky as before, and they finally got it. The second pick.

The Cavaliers received the 3rd pick, the Wizards 4th pick, the Suns 5th pick, the Nets 6th pick, the Kings 7th pick, the Pistons 8th pick, the Raptors 9th pick, and the Trail Blazers 10th pick. The Magic's 11th pick, the Timberwolves' 12th pick, the Rockets' 13th pick, and the Warriors' 14th pick.

Among them, the Nets' No. 6 pick was given to the Trail Blazers when they traded Gerald Wallace.

The Rockets' No. 13 pick was given to the Nuggets when they traded Anthony, but was flipped to the Warriors.

Sun Ce looked at the dazzling diagram of the final ownership of the draft picks and did not look carefully.

Anyway, he knows that the Hornets will get the No. 1 pick again.

If you can get the No. 1 pick, there is no doubt that you will choose Anthony Davis from the University of Kentucky.

This makes Sun Ce very interested. James seems to have hooked up with Griffin, Love, and Irving. Now there are multiple Anthony Davis?

Don't worry about James teaming up with them, Griffin, Love, Anthony Davis, the three of them will work together in the paint... It seems that they are as incompatible as they are, and as bad as they are. , and when Anthony Davis enters his prime, both Love and Griffin have passed their prime.

Sun Ce is looking forward to how the NBA, which has long become unpredictable to him, will develop, so he is also curious, what will the Hornets develop with Irving and Anthony Davis?

On May 12, 2012, at 9:28 pm, a game had just ended at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.

After the game, the fans at the scene applauded their opponents. They felt a little regretful that they could not continue in the defending season, but the Mavericks fans were not very disappointed. The shortened season was too unfriendly to them.

Carlisle looked at Sun Ce and others who were celebrating opposite him and sighed helplessly.

It's just a little bit close. It's not that they lost to the Grizzlies 97-103 tonight by only 6 points, but in the first three games, they had hoped to lead 3-0!

Carlisle knew from the beginning that the Grizzlies would definitely choose to use attrition tactics. This is a clear thing.

If he had a choice, Carlisle would not choose eighth, but the situation at that time was that he had no choice and could only make strategic moves. If he defeated the Grizzlies, he could play the Thunder in the second round. From the regular season Judging from the strength shown, the Thunder are the weakest among the top four in the Western Conference. Then they can sit back and watch the fight between the tigers and the Spurs and the Lakers fight to the death.

The Mavericks almost accomplished their goal. They grabbed the home court advantage in the first away game in the first round and also won the first game back at home.

However, the second away game was almost ruined by Sun Ce's 50+ triple-double!

If, as planned, the Grizzlies are caught off guard and take a 3-0 lead, even if the Grizzlies have the ability to win and the Mavericks lead 3-0, they will basically lock in a black eight.

Therefore, in the first three games, the Mavericks fought hard in each game. Carlisle knew that they could not afford to delay, and quick victory was their strength. However, they could not fight harder than Sun Ce in the second game.

Lost one game and ultimately the entire series.

In fact, after losing the fourth game of the series, Carlisle already knew that when the home court advantage was taken back by the Grizzlies, it was basically over. He was just looking forward to a situation like the explosion of role players in the third game.

But apparently not.

In the game that just ended, Sun Ce played 35 minutes and made 8 of 18 shots, including 2 of 6 three-pointers, plus 5 of 6 free throws. He scored 23 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks. He made a total of 5 three-pointers in front. In the case of 1, Sun Ce made a completely unattended three-pointer at the last moment, avoiding a 3-point lead like in the first game. However, Sun Ce missed a key three-pointer and was chased by Nowitzki. A flat situation occurs.

In the end, with Sun Ce playing 40 minutes per game in 6 games and averaging 33.5 points, 14 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 3.5 blocks per game, the Grizzlies reversed the Mavericks 4-2 and advanced to the second round.

Seeing the big score of 4-2 on the big screen in the away game, Sun Ce could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

too difficult!

In the 6 games, except for the Mavericks' poor offensive performance in Game 5, which the Grizzlies won more easily, Sun Ce felt that the other five games were too difficult. He fought hard to the end in each game and overcame the gains and losses.

Carlisle was regretful that they lost the second game and lost the whole match. Sun Ce was also afraid now. If he hadn't won the second game, it would have been over.

But in the end, they won! Defeated the defending champion Mavericks to advance to the second round!

It's a pity that Nowitzki and Yao Ming have to go fishing, but they can afford to lose because they already won the championship last year.

After the final whistle sounded, they saw Sun Ce, Randolph, Nash and others celebrating with their teammates and then walking towards them. Nowitzki and others also went up to congratulate them.

Nowitzki, Yao Ming, Conley and others hugged and congratulated the Grizzlies players and left first. Sun Ce, Randolph, Yi Jianlian, Nash and others accepted post-game interviews.

Since the series is over, the Grizzlies have opened up interviews. Now you can say whatever you want. Everything the winner says is right, but not necessarily. Sometimes there are some weird media.

Sun Ce was asked a lot of strange questions here, including "Would Yao Ming being eliminated early in the playoffs help us prepare for the Olympics?" When asked this question, Sun Ce stared at this domestic reporter for a long time. .

He was curious, what kind of brain circuit could be used to think of such a question? What a tactical genius.

But overall it's fine, except for one or two oddities here and there.

After accepting the interview, Sun Ce opened the system screen.
