One Thousand One Hundred and Sixty-One. This Kind of Thing Has to Be Done Secretly
Injuries are very common in the NBA. So many players are retired for the season every year, and fans have long been used to it.
Players are also used to this and are mentally prepared for it. Of course, for this reason, in addition to money, the team's medical conditions are also important considerations when players choose a team.
If minor injuries can be accurately diagnosed and treated promptly, it is very important to avoid serious injuries.
Therefore, those top players with good career plans will form their own medical team, training and physical therapy team if they have money.
In the NBA, there are actually very few people who are maliciously hurt or seriously injured. Like Carter, who was maliciously hurt by the same person three times, this kind of thing is an extremely rare evil act in the history of the NBA.
Ninety percent of major injuries are the accumulation of minor injuries + fatigue.
After watching professional sports for so many years, fans are very fickle. They still feel sorry for and bless the injured players in the morning, but change the topic of discussion in the afternoon.
The players also noticed the subtle changes on Sun Ce's side. The accident between the Cavaliers and Timberwolves made Sun Ce the biggest beneficiary.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, according to the latest MVP odds given by the gaming company, Sun Ce surpassed Rose, Kobe, Paul, Rondo, and Duncan, and improved from eighth to third, second only to James and Durant!
Of course, this only means that Sun Ce's probability has increased. Whether he has a chance to truly enter the attention of voters again after two consecutive MVP awards depends on whether Sun Ce can seize the opportunity.
…
There was a lot of excitement in the media. After Sun Ce got excited, he tried to calm down. He knew that this was not an easy task.
The lead in rebounding is very small. No one competed for third place before because the lead between first and second was too big, so no one else had the idea of competing for the rebounding title.
But it's different now. There are currently 5 players averaging more than 11 rebounds per game, and 10 players averaging more than 10 rebounds per game, all of whom have opportunities.
Especially for teams with poor records, their rebounding experts may want to compete for the rebounding king, or at least have a data king to look better.
For example, Vucevic of the Magic and Reggie Evans of the Nets.
Howard's side is expected to start fighting again.
Although Howard has declined severely on the defensive end, he still has an advantage in rebounding.
He is still lagging behind in the shot-blocking list, and it is not easy to compete.
Sun Ce tried hard to think about the unfavorable factors and not let himself get too carried away.
Just stabilize the current momentum and fight as hard as you can. Let’s see how the situation develops. If you have the chance, fight with all your strength!
…
…
After a day off, the Grizzlies will start their 6th consecutive home game tonight on the 19th. The first opponent for the 6th consecutive home game is the Bucks, followed by the Bulls on the 22nd, and the 76ers in the Christmas Day game on the 25th. , No. 27 plays the Mavericks, and No. 29 and No. 30 play the Rockets and Nuggets back-to-back.
It seems like a good thing to have consecutive home games. Of course, it is indeed a good thing. The home field advantage means you don’t have to fly around.
But on the contrary, taking advantage of the heat of Christmas, the league arranged four strong teams for the Grizzlies.
However, the league did not expect that the Grizzlies game this year would be so ugly. If the attention brought by Sun Ce could not guarantee the ratings, many TV stations would not want to broadcast the Grizzlies game, just like the Spurs and Duncan for many years. The Spurs have very few national live broadcasts for the popular superstars who start the All-Star Game.
When Coach Hollins arrived at the gym in the morning, he saw Sun Ce practicing his left and right hand shots.
Coach Hollins has known about Sun Ce's development of his left hand for a long time. Coach Hollins didn't know how to describe Sun Ce's shooting talent with his left hand. Exaggeration, surprise... didn't seem to be enough to describe it, so he chose to get used to it.
When Sun Ce finished a set of shooting and was about to end the extra practice in the morning, Coach Hollins went up to talk to him, casually chatted about several future opponents, and then asked tentatively: "Noah, do you have any questions?" We may get three data kings, do you want to compete?”
Sun Ce responded casually: "Whatever, if you have a chance, fight for it. If not, forget it. I'm a defender. It doesn't matter whether I am the rebounding leader or the block leader."
"You also know that you are a defender...wait a minute!" Coach Hollins was already convinced that Sun Ce would fight for it, so he blurted out when he heard Sun Ce calling himself a defender. Unexpectedly, Sun Ce actually said casually!
To say that Sun Ce has a chance to compete for the first place in the only three rankings in history, the most worrying thing is not James and Durant, who are currently competing fiercely for the first place in the MVP rankings, nor is it Ibaka, who is currently first in the blocks list, but the Grizzlies Team coaching staff and players.
It's almost the middle of the season, and they don't want Sun Ce to continue causing trouble.
Every time Sun Ce wants to do something, he gets nervous because this guy has always done what he says since he entered the NBA! Although everyone is usually happy as a result...
Coach Hollins asked in surprise: "You're not going to fight?"
This time it was Sun Ce's turn to wonder: "Coach, why do you want me to compete? How about I compete?"
"Ahem," Hollins coughed a few more times to ease the embarrassment and said with a smile: "If you have a chance to compete, of course I hope you can win a few more data kings, but as you said, let's see what happens. The chance is great. We will make a push at the end of the season. If the chance is not good, don’t be too tired. You have too many things to do. Get more rest.”
Sun Ce looked at Coach Hollins and clearly felt that this bald champion coach didn't think so.
He must fight, but if the system didn't give him an event, Sun Ce didn't like to fight publicly. Why bother? Wouldn't it be better to fight secretly?
Let the opponent relax, let the opponent be careless, and do it secretly... Sun Ce felt excited just thinking about it.
There is no need to increase the difficulty for yourself like fighting for points.
...
Coach Hollins took advantage of Sun Ce's absence to reveal to the players and coaching staff that Sun Ce was not so eager to fight for the top three, and his teammates breathed a sigh of relief.
This is obviously less pressure for the team. At present, Sun Ce wants to fight for the scoring title, and his teammates have made great sacrifices, and have invested more energy on the defensive end, which is already very hard.
In addition, it is about to reach the most difficult time in the middle of the season, and they can't stand Sun Ce's tossing.
But I feel a little regretful, and I feel that this is not in line with Sun Ce's style...
I don't know when, they have become accustomed to Sun Ce's crazy death.
But it wasn't just the teammates and coaches who felt uncomfortable. In the evening, the Grizzlies beat the Bucks 95-83. Sun Ce scored 35 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals in 37 minutes with 11 of 25 shots. He didn't answer questions about the top three rankings, and the media also felt uncomfortable.
Fans and other players were also uncomfortable when they saw Sun Ce didn't respond...
