One Thousand and Seventy-Three. It's Not Easy to Survive in the East

"I will use my hands to fulfill your dream."

Listening to the magnetic low voice on the phone, looking at the transliterated content of the half-word translated into English in my hand, this time there are two sentences, and it is more difficult.

But Jimmy Butler did not refuse, but asked: "Lord, what does this mean?"

Ask the meaning? Sun Ce thought for a while and replied: "The meaning... probably means that I will work hard to fulfill my dream with my own hands."

"Cool! Lord, your words hit my heart! I have been working hard for this." Jimmy Butler's eyes lit up, which is much more advanced than "What are you looking at".

"Yeah, yeah, come on, remember to practice well, it would be better if you can practice this sentence to the same as in the recording."

"I know!"

After Jimmy Butler finished speaking, he began to recite the transliterated sentence.

Sun Ce left very satisfied. Jimmy Butler's new look was done. Who should he play with next time... and who should he play with? Claude? Lopez? Or Larry Sanders?

...

Coming to Spain is Gasol's home court.

After a night's rest, on the morning of the 7th, the Grizzlies and Real Madrid players attended a press conference together, then went to the orphanage for charity at noon, prepared for the game in the afternoon, and played a preseason game at 8 pm.

There was no suspense, the Grizzlies easily defeated Real Madrid 95 to 77.

Except for Gasol who played for 35 minutes, Sun Ce only played for 12 minutes, Nash played for 19 minutes, Randolph did not play, Paul George and Klay Thompson both played for 18 minutes, but Jimmy Butler and Crowder, Patrick Beverley who played in the Russian Super League and was released to participate in the NBA tryout, Matt Carroll, a veteran in the tryout... and others played longer.

But even so, the Grizzlies still won easily. The Grizzlies signed most of the tryout players as defensive players, all of whom were very hard-working and wanted to show their strength.

Gasol performed best tonight, scoring 27 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks.

The day after the match with the Spanish team, Sun Ce and his teammates traveled a long distance to Shanghai to adjust to the time difference, and then there was another press conference...Except for Sun Ce who practiced the Nash training method and woke up in high spirits at dawn, everyone else was listless. After the press conference on the 9th, the coaching staff did not arrange training for the two days of vacation on the 10th and 11th. They could sleep as much as they wanted and go out as much as they wanted.

Every time they come to China, the Grizzlies coaching staff is the most assured. Even Coach Hollins couldn't help but go out at midnight to walk on the street. This is an experience that he has only experienced a few times in his life in the United States. He can go out without a gun at midnight.

During the two days of rest, Zu Ge, who had not returned to China for a long time, took Sun Ce around Shanghai. Sun Ce had not been shopping in China for a long time, and he was happy to buy things.

On the 13th, the Grizzlies welcomed the game against the Bulls "away".

According to the NBA's arrangement, the game in Shanghai is the home game of the Bulls, and the game in Chengdu the day after tomorrow, that is, on the 15th, is the home game of the Grizzlies.

But at 7:40 p.m., when the players of the two teams entered the court, Rose, who was playing at home, heard everyone shouting "Little Overlord". Rose also had two trips to China and knew that this word, which he didn't quite understand, meant "lord". He was helpless. It was meaningless to arrange them to play at home.

The players of the two teams exchanged ideas, mainly discussing how to play well. It was true that most of the players, except Sun Ce and Yi Jianlian, were surprised by the enthusiasm of Chinese fans. They didn't know why they were so popular in China. Just like what Sun Ce said after he became the honorary mayor of Memphis, they didn't expect to have such a high reputation in China and that Chinese fans would be so enthusiastic.

So they played a beautiful offensive battle, and even Rose, who was stubborn, didn't refuse.

Before the game started,

Sun Ce looked at the ability evaluation of the opposing players.

"Derrick Rose, ability rating s-, offense s, defense a, three-pointer b-, mid-range shot b, layup s+, speed s-, strength a+, endurance a... ball-handling pick-and-roll a, pick-and-roll jump shot b-, pick-and-roll breakthrough s-..."

Looking at Rose's ability rating, Sun Ce was surprised that he already had a foundation for mid-range and three-point shooting!

Although it is still an S-level ability rating, it is obvious that Rose has already taken off!

This is only the fifth year of his career!

Last season, Rose practiced his pick-and-roll through a season. The first-class ball-handling pick-and-roll ability of level A is quite excellent, especially the S-level pick-and-roll breakthrough ability, which has reached the top level, two levels better than him, Sun! The next step is to accumulate experience. As long as he is not injured, he will get better and better.

And this past summer, Rose, who withdrew from the Dream Team 10 and did not participate in the Olympics, seemed to have worked hard to practice the basic skills of shooting. Both three-pointers and mid-range shots have successfully passed the entry stage.

Compared with Evans, Rose's skills were inferior at the beginning, unlike Evans who had comprehensive skills when he entered the NBA, but Rose was relatively more hardworking and ambitious. Who of these two will become the strongest opponent in the point guard position in the future? Sun Ce thinks it's hard to say.

This year, the Bulls' lineup has changed. They let go of the 30-year-old veteran Korver and signed back the younger Belinelli. The main reason is that Korver is too expensive. The Bulls can't afford a 3-year 17 million contract, while Belinelli only has 3 years and 9 million.

The point guard position has been upgraded from CJ Watson to Hinrich and Nate Robinson. These two were originally the targets of the Grizzlies where Sun Ce was, but the two preferred to go to Chicago with a minimum salary. The reason given was not because of the city, but because they were worried that the Grizzlies would slack off in the new season.

After all, the Spurs' previous experience was too tragic. They did not defend their title once in four championships, which made those old players who were determined to win the championship dare not go to a small city team in the second year after winning the championship.

At the same time, the Bulls also signed Muhammad, who is probably the most popular veteran in the league. Sloan wanted to use this to improve the team's locker room cohesion...

In addition, the core lineup of Rose, Hamilton, Luol Deng, Boozer, Noah, and Gibson has not changed.

Sun Ce felt that last season should be regarded as a transition period for Sloan. He helped Rose completely change his playing style and mainly used a more "healthy" pick-and-roll style. This season, two backup point guards were replaced in one go, obviously to give Rose a better chance to rest.

Boozer, who returned to the pick-and-roll style, continued to be rated as A+, and Noah, who was rated as S- in defensive ability and was beginning to enter his peak period, and Luol Deng, who was at his peak, had such a deep bench... Sun Ce felt that James was too difficult.

Thinking of this, Sun Ce's sadness about being in the West was reduced a lot, and it was not easy to get along in the East!

Without comparison, there would be no comfort...
