One Thousand One Hundred and Seven. Did These Two Get Kicked in the Head by a Donkey?

When the Grizzlies meet a purely defensive team like the Jazz, it is very difficult, mainly psychologically.

Because if they score two more goals, they may be able to tie the score, and if they score two more three-pointers, they may be able to turn the game around. If they can make two more counterattacks, the result may be different.

But it is difficult to do it now. Nash tried his best, Sun Ce tried his best, the pitchers also tried their best, and they also fought hard on the defensive end.

But sometimes it is impossible to do it if there are one or two less goals.

This is really uncomfortable for the Grizzlies players, especially the old players who have been in the team for the past two seasons. The winning streak ended after two consecutive wins at the beginning, the first time in three years.

But this is a process of adjustment. Through the game with the Jazz, Sun Ce found that some problems of the team need to be adjusted. You can't always rely on someone to have a good touch and then rely on defense to grind the opponent to death.

When you meet a team like the Jazz, which has agile inside movement and a lot of players on the outside who are not good at offense but good at defense, and the Grizzlies can't run and gun, they need to strengthen the positional warfare offense.

And how to strengthen it?

Sun Ce thinks it is very important to improve his own strength!

This is the most important thing for him. He is the core of the positional battle and should do better.

Although he scored 31 points in the game against the Jazz, his performance of 9 of 22 shots was not particularly good. Although it was not bad, it was not very good.

He also had to choose three-pointers, mid-range shots, and attacks under the basket more reasonably, which was relatively unfamiliar to Sun Ce.

In the past, he made choices from the middle and short distances, which was simpler. He broke through to the middle distance. If there was a double team, he would try to go inside. If there was no way, he would pass the ball back to the outside. In addition, he played as a shooting guard last season, and Nash played as a substitute this season, so he was greatly affected.

He couldn't complain that the team didn't find a third point guard to help him dribble, so he could only make adjustments from himself.

In addition, Sun Ce wanted to do one more thing, which was to improve his and Klay Thompson's "combination reputation".

I don't know if it will work, but it won't hurt to do it. Sun Ce called Bill Duffy.

After some communication, Sun Ce hung up the phone. Klay is also a player under Bill Duffy. He operated for the two of them. Bill Duffy had no objection. He had wanted to do this for a long time. After the rookie season, Bill Duffy knew that Klay Thompson had the potential to get a maximum salary.

After the three consecutive home games, on November 7, Sun Ce flew to Milwaukee with the team. Sun Ce looked at the next schedule on the plane. He also had the impression that after the three consecutive home games, the next 6 games were alternating home and away games.

Among them, the home game with the Heat and the away game with the Thunder were the focus games, and the other four games were not even live broadcast.

After arriving in Milwaukee, Sun Ce received a text message from Bill Duffy, knowing that he had begun to operate and tout him and Klay Thompson's three-pointers.

Sun Ce felt a little ashamed when he was just thinking about it before and now he really had to do it.

However, on the way to the Bradley Center after putting his things in the hotel, Sun Ce's shame was broken by a news rumor. He didn't know how to describe his mood.

Yahoo Sports reporter, the team's s broke the news that Stephen Curry and James Harden tended to reject the maximum salary offer and wanted to renew their contract with a 5-year 70 million contract.

"Damn? Did these two kids get kicked in the head by a donkey?"

Sun Ce quickly searched the news and contacted Bill Duffy to find out what was going on.

In Oakland, the man, Bob Myers, and the two owners of the Warriors celebrated and toasted to celebrate this victory.

Although they didn't know why Sun Ce released the topic that the two deserved the maximum salary, and didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional to throw out the topic that "the Warriors think the two salaries are too high".

But the matter was finally resolved.

After losing to the Grizzlies, the man seized the opportunity and went to lobby Curry with Bob Myers. In the end, the man's key words settled the matter.

Curry agreed to a $70 million contract extension, and the man and Bob Myers used this opportunity to negotiate with Harden.

When Harden saw that Curry agreed, he also agreed to a $70 million contract extension.

Harden likes stability and doesn't like change. He is willing to sacrifice some things without the Rockets' career experience, but to be on the safe side, Harden asked his agent to add a trade deposit clause. If he is traded, he will get a $3 million trade deposit every year for the remaining contract.

After Harden and Curry confirmed that Curry was willing to renew his contract for 5 years and $70 million, they persuaded Curry to add a trade deposit clause.

This clause means that they are only willing to reduce their salary in the Warriors, and other teams want to trade. If the Warriors are responsible for the trade deposit, then even if the Warriors trade one of them, they will need to occupy an additional $3 million salary space.

The Warriors have no objection to this. They didn't intend to trade these two players. They are not the Magic and Thunder.

But there is one thing that the man has never taken to heart, but he always feels wrong.

Whether it is a trade or a draft, including this contract renewal, I have found that every time I encounter a problem in the past few years, it is more or less related to the Grizzlies.

Sun Ce, through Bill Duffy's channels and the "inside story" exposed on the Internet, although he does not have a comprehensive understanding, he has a general understanding of why Curry and Harden chose not to renew their contracts with a maximum salary.

Originally, Curry and Harden were still hesitating, but who knew that after losing a game, the two actually agreed! And they agreed when they had the opportunity to get a maximum salary.

This made Sun Ce feel really upset. He didn't expect that his words and a game would actually help the Warriors solve the problem of renewing the contract of two people.

"So when I said that the two of them deserved the maximum salary, it satisfied the vanity of these two brothers. Then after they lost to me, Sun, they were fooled by the man to agree to renew the contract?"

It hurt a little, mainly because he wasted his efforts, but Sun Ce didn't care much. He just sent a tweet to try it out.

Sun Ce didn't have so many worries because he failed to affect the Warriors' salary plan. In the current situation, instead of worrying about others getting stronger, it is better to work hard to make himself stronger.

Play the game well, adjust the playing style well, adapt to the playing style after the three-pointer, and then find the right and suitable adjustment direction. This is the most important thing in Sun Ce's mind at the moment.

Just as Sun Ce continued to prepare for tomorrow's game against the Bucks, a group of topic leaders appeared under the forums and official websites of major American websites such as Time Warner Cable Sports and Sports Illustrated about the Grizzlies.

They were not praising anyone, but were "asking" whether Sun Ce had the potential to become a top three-point shooter, and began to guide the topic.
