One Thousand and Sixteen. A Big Hat Trick at the Start!

It is really hard to make it to the finals. It is not about making it to the finals, but the day before the finals, the FedEx Arena was almost full of reporters from TV stations and famous magazines.

In the morning technical training, someone was filming the whole process, and Sun Ce and others had to make corresponding movements for reporters to take pictures under the instructions of the press officer.

This day was very tiring for Sun Ce. He got up at 3 o'clock in the morning. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the tactical training after the team closed the arena was over. Sun Ce was more tired than usual, exhausted physically and mentally!

However, time seemed to pass quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was June 14th, the day of the first game of the finals against the 76ers.

This morning, Sun Ce woke up at 3 o'clock as usual. He woke up at this time for the past two days. As an athlete who is quite self-disciplined in training, Sun Ce quickly got used to it after he set the idea of ​​getting up at 3 o'clock in his mind.

However, he did not go to training today. He got up, drank some water, went to the toilet, and then lay down to take a nap. He was pulled up by Zugoose at 7 o'clock. The team had to gather at 9 o'clock in the morning to prepare for the game.

After breakfast, Sun Ce checked the news before going out. He saw that the Heat had grabbed the headlines of major websites this morning!

James forced the palace to trade a good center, otherwise he would apply for a trade.

Seeing Sun Ce's surprised expression, Zu Goose and Lily Collins came to Sun Ce and saw the news on the tablet.

"Look, this shouldn't be the news revealed by the Heat, right? Why do I feel like James revealed it himself?" Sun Ce guessed.

"Why? James should not take the initiative to do such things that hurt his image again." Lily Collins analyzed from the perspective of a star.

Zu Goose held the same opinion as Sun Ce: "James seems to have no image in this regard. My brother said that James can only restore his image by winning honors now."

Lily Collins has learned more and more about the NBA in the past year. It seems that this is the case. James doesn't care about this kind of thing. She doesn't even think it's strange that James forced the palace. She just thought that James would not take the initiative to reveal this news.

After carefully reading the news, the Heat are clearly not in the right. The news is deliberately directing public opinion to the Heat's reluctance to pay the luxury tax. From this point of view, it really seems to be a rumor leaked by James.

Sun Ce rubbed his head. This season has not yet ended, and there are opponents eyeing the next season. It may not be just the Heat. The opponents who want to compete for the championship but have been eliminated have begun to prepare for the next season.

As far as Sun Ce knows, it is not difficult for James to attract high-quality pitchers to join. Many high-quality pitchers reduce their salaries or even take the minimum salary to play with him. It is a very pleasant thing for pitchers to partner with James.

Centers are the most expensive. Even a high-quality role player center can be comparable to the value of a first-class perimeter player.

Sun Ce turned off the tablet and decided not to deal with it for now. He said to Lily Collins and Zugoo, "I'll go to the stadium first. I'll come back to pick you up in the afternoon or let the driver take you to the stadium?"

"You stay in the stadium to rest. The driver can take us there. We also need to pick up Scarlett. The team has sent someone to deliver her tickets to us yesterday."

"OK..."

...

...

The final preparation time passed quickly. It was 4 pm in a flash. After eating something and resting for a while, I started warming up for the 8 pm game at 5 pm.

The two veterans, Nash and Battier, have been adjusting their physical condition for tonight's game since the morning.

The finals are about to start. The closer the game starts, the more excited Sun Ce is.

This season is so dreamy!

Suppressing this excessive joy, patiently completing the pre-match warm-up, and waiting to enter the stadium, Sun Ce turned on the system screen.

In the past two days, there was not much improvement in three-pointers. Anyway, Sun Ce worked hard to practice, and his left-handed ball control improved rapidly!

Yesterday and the morning before yesterday, Sun Ce started to practice left-handed ball control from 4 o'clock. It was not a simple dribbling, but breakthrough, layup, acceleration and so on, all with the left hand. Especially yesterday morning, Sun Ce specially asked Zu E to help him tie his arms, and played Yang Guo style for two hours until 6 o'clock to end the training.

Left-handed ball control has really improved greatly in the past two days, and has reached the real good level of B level, which is probably Durant's current ball control ability.

The better the left-handed ball control is, the more Sun Ce discovered the bug of the skill of "shooting with both hands".

When you first do something, such as writing or using chopsticks, the feeling of the left and right hands must be very different, but Sun Ce feels that practicing left-handed ball control now is the same as practicing right-handed ball control three years ago!

If this progress continues, it is entirely possible that the left-handed ball control will be close to the right-handed ball control level before the Olympics!

Maybe, I can also develop cross-step change of direction breakthroughs with Tim Hardaway!

Diverted the overly excited emotions and turned the emotions into longing.

Then I opened the system panel and checked. I only used one star experience card in the Western Conference Finals. Although I used the ultimate, I still have three ultimates that I haven't used. The top 13 double cards in history, the S-level point guard card, the S-level designated lottery card, and the Linsanity opponent player card, which is also a card that may be very good.

Playing against the 76ers... Fuck them!

Just when Sun Ce was trying to think about it and adjust his mood, the staff came to notify them to enter the court...

...

No fan is happier than Grizzlies fans this season.

Even the fans of the Lakers who got Paul, the fans of the defending champion Mavericks, the fans of the 76ers who got Howard...

The Lakers are currently under a trade cloud. After being eliminated in the Western Conference Finals, there have been rumors that the Lakers will begin a drastic reconstruction.

The Mavericks have already won the championship, but the Grizzlies are about to win the championship now, and the Mavericks will get older year by year. The Grizzlies are on the rise, and even the fans of the opponent 76ers are not as happy as the Grizzlies.

Also reaching the finals, the Grizzlies also have Sun Ce, the new Kelianzhuang MVP!

Players from both teams entered amid wild cheers from Memphis people.

Sun Ce came to the center line to greet Evans.

Rarely, Evans took the initiative to speak: "Noah, I didn't expect that it would be the two of us who ended up here."

Evans thought back to the freshman boy who followed him around during workouts three years ago.

"But I knew from the beginning that you would be as strong as James." Sun Ce was talking about averaging 20+5+5 per game in his rookie year.

"..."

Evans was speechless. It was not easy to get Evans to say a word first.

Sun Ce did not continue to chat and went back to his own half to practice shooting. Nash, Tony Allen and others were still chatting with their familiar opponents.

Sun Ce looked at the evaluation of the opponent's players' abilities.

"Howard, S grade, offense A, defense S, rebounds SS; Evans, S- grade, offense S, defense A-; Iguodala, A grade, offense B+, defense S-; Holiday, B+ Grade B, offense, A+ defense; Williams, Grade B, offense A+, defense C+; Young, Grade B+, offense A, defense C+; Hawes, grade B, offense B+, defense C; Meeks, B Grade, B+ in offense, B- in defense, A in three-pointers... These 8 people are the main rotation of the opponent..."

Sun Ce looked at the ability evaluation of the opponent's players. Several core defensive players are either young or in their prime. They can play up to seven games and can fight hard. They don't care about their physical strength after the game. They are difficult to deal with!

Back then, the Pistons and Spurs only rotated eight or nine players in the finals, but they tortured their opponents to death.

The 76ers also relied on their iron-blooded defense to wreak havoc in the Eastern Conference!

Soon, at 7:58 in the evening, the referee signaled that the starting players of both teams could take the field.

Amid the enthusiastic cheers of the fans, Sun Ce put on his equipment and came to the center circle, and Howard also came to the center circle.

Looking at Sun Ce opposite, Howard was very excited. It was finally time to take revenge on Sun Ce!

He failed to take revenge on the last person who dunked him in the finals. This time he must take revenge!

The teammates who started with Howard were Evans, Holiday, Iguodala, and Thaddeus Young. Except for the impact of injuries, this lineup has not changed throughout the season.

The teammates who started with Sun Ce were Nash, Paul George, Randolph, and Gasol.

The Grizzlies aim to strengthen their offense. The 76ers' offense is quite poor, averaging 98.2 points per game in the regular season. Mainly due to their good defense, they only concede 93.6 points per game.

In the playoffs, the 76ers played 20 games in the Eastern Conference, averaging 92.1 points per game and conceding 89.5 points per game. They were so fierce that it left people speechless.

When playing the 76ers, the more important thing is the offense.

Once again confirming tonight's strategic goal, Sun Ce saw the referee coming and prepared to jump the ball.

Looking at the pressure garment on Howard, Sun Ce knew that Howard would definitely undergo back surgery in the summer. This would reduce the risk of back failure in the future and reduce the pain caused by back injuries.

But such surgery would also have a greater impact on Howard's physical fitness.

There is a high probability that this season will be Howard's final peak. He fell off the cliff directly from the peak. Sun Ce was a little sentimental, but at the same time he was even more excited about this finals.

The final showdown with the pinnacle of Warcraft!

At 8 o'clock in the evening, amid the enthusiastic cheers of the fans, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air...

Howard was not careless. He jumped up with all his strength and pushed the ball backward. When he landed, he saw Sun Ce retreating.

Howard wanted to learn from his mistakes, but he just acted like he didn't expect to win the jump ball in the first place? Can you deserve a little more beating?

Evans advanced to the frontcourt and met Paul George's defense and gave the ball to Holiday, who directly charged Nash.

He was able to reach the finals in the third grade and was still the main combo guard. Holiday was very excited to pass Nash, who was defending very hard, and rushed into the paint. He took one step inside the free throw line and made a flying throw before Gasol was in place to defend... …

"Snapped"

Sun Ce slapped Holiday's throw out of bounds.

Sun Ce was surprised after the shot was blocked: "Doesn't this guy pass the ball?"
