One Thousand and Twenty-Six. The Warcraft with a Broken Mind

Memphis, a hotel owned by the Trump family.

Howard is very depressed now.

His mood is rather strange. If another superstar loses in the finals, and because of this game, he and his team become a stepping stone for another player to become a superstar, he will definitely be very angry and unhappy, and want to teach the other party a lesson in the next match and try his best to compete with the other party.

But Howard is not like that. He is very depressed.

The last time he made it to the finals, Kobe regarded it as a finals that made him proud, allowing Kobe to get rid of the saying that he could not win the championship without O'Neal.

Now this situation has happened again, Howard is very unhappy, and he did not even attend the player meeting led by Iguodala, and stayed alone in the room.

Evans, Iguodala and others have become accustomed to Howard's weird personality. This guy is not the optimistic big boy personality he deliberately showed to the fans.

They lost in defense, they lost what they were best at, and they became a stepping stone for others to establish their superstar status. Howard was very frustrated in the face of such a situation, but the other members of the 76ers were very unhappy. They wanted to win, they wanted the championship, they wanted to regain their face in the Grizzlies and in Sun Ce!

…

On the afternoon of the 15th, Sun Ce tried to adjust his mentality and tried not to be affected by the title of "superstar". He came to the stadium with his teammates to prepare for the second finals against the 76ers tomorrow.

In the first game, the 76ers, who performed so well on the defensive end, were suppressed. The public opinion about the ownership of the championship in the finals has completely turned to the Grizzlies.

But the more this is the case, the more Sun Ce feels that he should not be careless. In addition, the discussion about whether he is a superstar is becoming more and more intense, which can easily lead to them becoming complacent or even conceited. The Bulls dynasty lost the first game in the finals against the Jazz, and then turned the tide.

In addition to Jordan's superb performance in the finals, the public opinion at that time was saying that the two evil spirits would end Jordan's two consecutive championships, which led to the Bulls' excitement and the Jazz players were a little bit arrogant. The Jazz began to be arrogant in the second game and lost at home. In the third game, the Jazz were slaughtered by the Bulls by more than 40 points. In the fourth game, their confidence collapsed. Although the Jazz regained their spirits and won a game in the fifth game, they lost the sixth game and lost the championship.

Originally, with the strength of the Jazz that year, they would not have lost three games in a row in the finals. The impact of public opinion was very large!

Fortunately, the Grizzlies had Nash and Battier, two calm veterans, and Tony Allen who played in two finals.

Just like the 76ers had Iguodala, the leader, to instigate his teammates to fight back, the Grizzlies' Sambo also gave his teammates psychological counseling after arriving at the stadium to calm their teammates down.

Nash was not complacent about his performance of 20 points in the first half of the last game. Instead, he said to his teammates: "I am 38 years old. It is impossible for me to play like yesterday every night. I was just lucky. To win, you need to play better. You have to make that shot. You will have plenty of opportunities to win the championship in the future, but I am old. I need you to win the championship!"

Originally, even if Sun Ce tried to adjust, he was still distracted by public opinion. This kind of thing would affect anyone, but after hearing Nash's words, he really calmed down and focused on the game of the finals itself.

You need to have a good mentality like Nash who can make fun of himself. It is a good thing to be regarded as a superstar, but winning the championship is the most important thing.

Nash's words also touched his teammates. In last night's game, in addition to Sun Ce's explosion on the defensive end, which made the team's defense a step higher, Nash's 20 points in the first half were more important. He alone scored more than half of the team's points in the second half. It was Nash and Sun Ce who saved the team together!

Nash is so humble, what qualifications do they have to be proud and complacent?

Moreover, they really want to help Nash win the championship. After all, Nash is such a good person. He has only been in the team for one year, and the old players of the team regard Nash as a big brother.

We can't let the big brother down.

Moreover, winning the championship is not for others, but for ourselves!

No matter what the future holds, a young player with a championship record will be popular wherever he goes!

Tactical training began at two o'clock in the afternoon. Last night, the Grizzlies coaching staff stayed up all night to conduct targeted research on the strong defense shown by the 76ers in the first game. In addition, Evans is very unsolvable. He scored 27 points with 10 of 22 shots in 36 minutes, and also had 13 rebounds and 9 assists. This requires strengthening defense. If not, the defense between the other 76ers and Evans must be cut off.

After a nap in the morning, Coach Hollins woke up at noon and saw the public opinion storm caused by Sun Ce in the news, and the crazy praise of their Grizzlies, which made Coach Hollins a little worried.

But after lunch, when he came to the stadium to organize the players to prepare for the game, Coach Hollins found that the players were calmer than he thought. He didn't need to deliberately understand it. He knew that it was the good work of the three treasures of the team. It was really a good thing!

Coach Hollins felt that it was great that Sun Ce fooled Nash last summer!

Battier and Tony Allen can also do such things, but compared with the influence of Nash, the former superstar, they are definitely not as good as 1

……

……

At 7:30 pm on June 16, 2012, after preparing for the game yesterday afternoon and today, Sun Ce and his teammates ushered in the second game of the finals against the 76ers.

The Grizzlies continued to send out Nash, Sun Ce, Paul George, Randolph, and Gasol's starting lineup.

There was no change on the 76ers side, with Evans, Holiday, Iguodala, Thaddeus Young, and Howard's starting lineup.

After the game started, the 76ers took the lead in the fierce confrontation!

Tonight, the 76ers strengthened their aggressiveness on both offense and defense from the beginning. Fortunately, the Grizzlies were also prepared and survived the fierce confrontation stage raised by the opponent in the first quarter.

After the first quarter, Randolph scored 8 points in a single quarter, Paul George and Battier, who came off the bench, each scored a three-pointer, and Sun Ce's baseline hook and a dunk under the basket after receiving Gasol's pass, and Nash's 1 free throw hit, the Grizzlies scored 19 points in a single quarter.

Although the 76ers performed fiercely in the first quarter, Evans' 13 points in a single quarter helped the 76ers score 21 points in a single quarter, and the Grizzlies did not fall behind too much.

Sun Ce was heavily guarded tonight. In the past, he relied on his bad gambling husband to contain the scoring, just like in the first half of the last game, he scored 18 points, but today the roles were reversed, he was targeted here, so Randolph in the low post on the other side got more singles opportunities, 7 shots 3 in the first quarter to get 8 points and 3 rebounds, two of which were offensive rebounds.

In the second quarter, the 76ers switched to a one-star four-shot mode. Howard and Louis Williams led Iguodala, Meeks, and Lavoy Allen to play one-star four-shot, allowing Evans, who scored 13 points and 2 assists in the first quarter, to rest for a while.

This became the turning point of the game. Nash played for 4 minutes in the first quarter and was replaced by Tony Allen. In the second quarter, he came on the court with Klay Thompson, Sun Ce, and the two emperors to score!

This was the adjustment made by Coach Hollins based on the extremely rough confrontation between the two teams in the first quarter. In the first quarter, the Grizzlies made 7 of 21 shots, and the 76ers made 7 of 20 shots, both of which had low hit rates.

The confrontation has already made the shooting feel of both teams so bad from the beginning. Louis Williams and Meeks also played in the first quarter, but they didn't make a single shot.

Based on this situation, Coach Hollins chose to block the basket and counterattack with impact!

In the second quarter, Sun Ce played for 4 minutes and was replaced. Nash led his teammates to play the whole quarter, with a score of 23 to 18 in a single quarter. At the end of the half, the Grizzlies surpassed the 76ers by 3 points with a score of 42 to 39!

The second quarter made the 76ers head coach Doug Collins crazy!

Howard was still working hard on the defensive end. When the 76ers were still playing very tensely with the Grizzlies, Howard played very calmly, but when facing a lineup without Sun Ce, Randolph, and Gasol, Howard began to lose his calm. He did well on the defensive end, but on the offensive end, Howard began to sit in the low position to ask for the ball and committed consecutive offensive fouls.

Originally, the team could compete with the Grizzlies with Louis Williams, but in the second half of the second quarter, Howard committed two consecutive offensive fouls. Since he had already committed one foul in the first quarter, in the 10th minute of the second quarter, after Howard committed three fouls, Doug Collins had to replace Howard with Spencer Hawes. This time, there was a problem. In fact, even when Howard made two consecutive offensive mistakes, the 76ers still did a good job in defense, but Howard committed two offensive fouls and could not play in the last two minutes of the first half!

Taking this opportunity, Nash led the Grizzlies to overtake the score in one fell swoop at halftime!

Overtaking by 3 points at halftime, Jordan felt that although he was hurt by the two knockdowns, it was too much! He wished Howard would give him two more.

Howard's two fouls in a single quarter completely changed the situation of the game.

If the 76ers play calmly and steadily, the Grizzlies' offense really has no good way to improve their offensive efficiency.

On the defensive end, the Grizzlies are indeed better than the 76ers, and they can't deal with the 76ers' defense. These two things don't conflict.

However, Howard's own lack of calmness caused him to fall into a foul crisis, which gave the Grizzlies an advantage all of a sudden!

In the third minute of the third quarter, Sun Ce shamelessly stuck to Howard and finally succeeded in causing Howard's fourth foul of the game!

Doug Collins was also angry. He didn't let Howard go off the court, so he let Howard continue to play in the third quarter with 4 fouls.

When the official timeout came back in the third quarter, Howard, whose mentality had exploded, overturned Aaron Gray when he was grabbing the offensive rebound of Iguodala's three-pointer. Before the official timeout, he fouled and entered the official timeout. Howard got his sixth foul of the game and was sent off for six fouls!

In the seven minutes of the third quarter, the 76ers had already surpassed the Grizzlies by 1 point with 54 to 53, but Howard had six fouls, and the situation was reversed again. The Grizzlies regained the initiative!

When Howard pushed Aaron Gray to get the rebound and heard the referee's whistle, and saw the referee's gesture of six fouls, Howard angrily threw the ball to the ground, tore his jersey and walked directly to the player channel.

The referee whistled again and gave Howard a technical foul!

This made the Grizzlies stunned. Sun Ce looked at the back of Howard, who was only wearing a pressure suit on his upper body, and didn't feel tragic at all. He really didn't expect Howard's mentality to be so fragile. He left the field with six fouls and still caused trouble for his teammates!
