Nine Hundred and Eighty-Seven. The King of the New Generation of Players!
“This woman is mine (2) (exclusive to the small notebook):
Goal 1: The host needs to help the team gain a record advantage in the match against the Thunder this season. Event reward: an A-level lottery card. (Completed and triggered goal 2)
Goal 2: The host needs to help the team defeat the Thunder in the series. Event reward: Kevin Durant 2011-2012 version of the star experience card.
Failure penalty: If goal 2 fails after triggering goal 2, deduct the S-level star experience card that the host currently has or will obtain in the future.”
There was a similar event last season, but the Thunder did not make it to the second round last season. They were beaten by the Lakers with twin towers in the first round and lost the opportunity to complete the second goal. This time they finally played in the playoffs.
However, in addition to these two events, there is another event. Sun Ce was a little puzzled as to why the reward had not been given. Just when he was wondering, the system prompt came.
"The fourth stage of the S-level event Bear King Road, Domination of the Regular Season (completed), the Light of Leadership C-level has been upgraded to B-level, and the host has won the 2011-2012 regular season MVP, and will soon face the Thunder, a team with three representative players of the new generation, in the playoffs. The final event of the S-level event MVP journey: King of the New Generation Players is triggered."
"King of the New Generation Players (S):
Goal 1: The host needs to help the team beat the Thunder in the second round of the playoffs this season.
Goal 2: The host's highest score in a single game in the series against the Thunder needs to be the same as Kevin Durant.
Goal 3: The host must have more triple-doubles than Russell Westbrook in the series against the Thunder.
Event Reward: The Light of Leadership is upgraded from B-level to A-level, and has a unique leadership charm among the new generation of players.
After the end of this final event, the S-level event MVP journey will be comprehensively scored according to the scores of all phased events. "
Looking at this new event, Durant is in his fifth season this season and is also a new generation player...
"So this match against the Thunder has become a series to establish his position among the new generation of stars?"
Sun Ce thought of this and felt that it seemed to be true!
The honors he received in the regular season are already the strongest among the new generation of players.
No player who entered the NBA after James has a regular season honor comparable to him.
Kobe is the first representative of veterans, James is the first representative of Mesozoic players, and he, Sun, can almost be regarded as the first representative of the new generation of players.
But compared to Kobe who defeated his contemporaries Duncan, Garnett, Webber, Garnett, etc. in the playoffs many times, and James who also made it to the finals twice, Sun's playoff resume is not good. Although he eliminated the defending champion for two consecutive years, he has not defeated his contemporaries.
The only contemporaries he defeated in the playoffs was Lawson, and the Thunder's four youngsters also easily defeated Lawson in the playoffs.
Therefore, the next series with the Thunder seems to have the meaning of establishing the status of the new generation of players.
Indeed, the regular season is just the regular season, and the playoffs are the real battlefield in the eyes of fans and the media.
…
…
Just as Sun Ce thought, when the Grizzlies and the Thunder met in the playoffs, the topic led by the media became the "battle of the new generation of players"! ,.
The Grizzlies have Sun Ce, Jordan, and Paul George, and the Thunder have Durant, Westbrook, Harden, and Ibaka. These seven people are representatives of the new generation of players in people's eyes.
As for Klay Thompson, although the media and fans think that the Grizzlies made the right choice in this draft and it is very suitable for their needs, 3D players are not so valued at present. Not many people regard Klay Thompson as a star, but as a substitute for Morrow, because Klay Thompson's three-point shooting is not as good as Morrow's now; Gasol has been playing for too long. Although he is only in his fourth season in the NBA, his professional basketball experience is the same as Paul's. He started playing for Barcelona in 2005.
The Thunder, which has the most talented players from point guard to power forward from the 2007 to 2009 classes, is regarded as a super team in the future. In a way, playing against the Grizzlies is more interesting than the series between the Grizzlies and the Mavericks.
The Grizzlies vs. the Mavericks are interesting in the four aspects of defending the championship, the regular season championship, the black eight, and the Chinese derby, while the Grizzlies vs. the Thunder are obviously much more interesting, in addition to the present, there is also the future!
The TV media and the Internet were all hyping up the series between the Grizzlies and the Thunder. After Sun Ce returned to Memphis, he saw the overwhelming praise on the Internet, and the Thunder, which was currently weaker, received more praise... Mainly because Westbrook, Harden, Durant, and Ibaka of the Thunder had the possibility of dominating four positions, while only Sun, a member of the Grizzlies, had the opportunity to dominate one position in the eyes of the media and fans. Paul George and Jordan seemed to be a little less talented.
Sun Ce was too lazy to argue. Indeed, from the current point of view, the Thunder's prospects may be brighter. They are all too young. Durant is not even 24 years old. On their side, Randolph is almost 31 years old, Nash is getting old, and Gasol is already 26 and a half years old. Although they also have several good young players, in another three or four years, the Thunder will all reach their peak. From the current point of view, the Grizzlies seem to be unable to compare. They have a "future".
But the reason why Sun Ce didn't want to fight was that he knew that the whole world could see that Harden had talent, but only the Thunder management couldn't see it...
After returning to Memphis this morning, the coaching staff gave Sun Ce and others a day off. No training was arranged today. The Grizzlies and Thunder's series will start the day after tomorrow, which is the 16th. Today is the time for the coaching staff to formulate a tactical plan, and targeted tactical training will be conducted tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
At present, six of the eight second-round teams in the East and West have been released. The Grizzlies advanced 4-2, the Lakers, Spurs, and Heat swept to advance, and the Bulls and Thunder both advanced 4-1. The 76ers and Celtics, who tied 3-3 last night, will play a tiebreaker on the evening of the 14th. The Knicks and Pacers, who also tied 3-3, will play a tiebreaker tonight.
In the afternoon, Sun Ce did not go to practice. He watched the Thunder's performance in the first round at home. It was really amazing. In the playoffs, they felt stronger than in the regular season. Since it was a series, they could be more fully prepared and focus on preparing for the same opponent, so the strength they showed was different.
Of course, in a series, if there is a strength gap between the two teams, the strength gap will be more obvious, not only the strength gap between the players, but also the gap between the coaching staff will be more obvious.
In the evening, Sun Ce watched the seventh game between the Knicks and the Pacers. The Knicks, who had more playoff players, were better. In the seventh game, they defeated the Pacers 92 to 85 and advanced to the second round.
The bowling boy hasn't been bowling or bungee jumping yet, but he's still at his peak. He averaged 24.7 points, 12 rebounds and 4.7 blocks in the entire series, mainly because of the triple-double in that block game, which increased his average blocks by more than 1. He got a terrifying 33 blocks in the first round, surpassing Olajuwon's second-highest record of 30 blocks in a single series, second only to Mutombo's 38 blocks in a single series.
With Bynum's performance, plus Baron Davis and Stoudemire, who are in good shape this year, and a group of pitchers trained by D'Antoni before he was fired, Sun Ce is looking forward to the series between the Heat and the Knicks. With Bynum in this state, playing against the Heat's inside line in the playoffs... is a pleasure to see!
…
After a night of hard work, Sun Ce got up early on the morning of the 14th to exercise as usual, and came to the gym at 7:30 to practice three-pointers under the guidance of Tim Hardaway, who lost more than ten pounds in a year.
Practice as much as you can. Sun Ce has gone through the difficult process of adjusting his hand shape and the arc of his shot. Now it is time to produce results. When the three-pointer evaluation breaks through from C+ to the edge of the good level of B-, the three-pointer can be used as an effective offensive means.
Of course, it cannot be compared with mid-range shots. It is just that if the B-level three-pointer can be used in the game, it will not be completely left open. His three-pointers are basically all super wide open now, and whether they go in depends purely on the feel... more on luck.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, teammates arrived one after another, and a tactical meeting was held at 9:30.
It is clear that when playing against the Thunder, we must play the inside advantage!
The Grizzlies can't get an advantage on the outside. The Thunder's outside line is much stronger than their Grizzlies at present. If two years pass, they will not be afraid of the Thunder on the outside, but Paul George and Klay Thompson are still too young.
From the tactical meeting and his own research, Sun Ce learned that there was a big difference between the outside running and mid-range shooting when playing against the Mavericks. This is the aspect of adjustment they need to complete during the two days of preparation.
When they returned to Memphis yesterday, the Thunder, which had already advanced, also came to Memphis and started preparing for the game at the visiting team's training ground.
Two days is not short, but not long. Sun Ce, his teammates and coaches did not want to waste any time. All interviews were turned down in the past two days, and they devoted themselves to preparation.
In the evening, the 76ers and Celtics' tiebreaker ended. The 76ers defeated the Celtics 91-80 and entered the second round.
Now the two sides of the four second-round series in the East and West have come out. Tomorrow night, the series between the Heat and the Knicks, the Lakers and the Spurs will start first. The day after tomorrow is the first game of the second round between the Grizzlies and the Thunder, and the Bulls and the 76ers!
Relatively speaking, the Knicks and 76ers are at a disadvantage, as they only have one day to rest after the first round and have to start the second round immediately.
But this is the advantage of the teams that advance early in the first round. If they perform well in the first round, they will naturally be treated preferentially in the second round.
