One Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty-Nine. Unstoppable Progress

In the regular season, it is really difficult to face three super teams of role players, the Cavaliers, Nuggets, and Hawks.

They don't have the Spurs' troika and Gay, several players who have the strength to decide the outcome in the playoffs. However, this is not the playoffs. They have a sudden encounter. These three teams are not major championship contenders. The Grizzlies also view these three strong regular season teams as their real opponents in the eyes of the team. They will not prepare tactics specifically for these three teams when they encounter them in normal times. They will only think of solutions when they encounter them in the playoffs, and because It's really easy to find a way to restrain them when you encounter them in the playoffs, and you don't even care about them normally.

Although they fielded the strongest defensive lineup, the Cavaliers' offense was really good, and everyone was on the same page. Even Asik averaged 12 points and 11.3 rebounds per game after Varejao was reimbursed; Scola averaged 19.8 points per game for the Cavaliers. The highest scoring average per game; the sixth man Mayo, whose contract year should not be underestimated, averaged 16 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game...

Plus Jeremy Lin, Beal, Alonzo Key, Speights... really entangled with the Grizzlies!

Randolph didn't play tonight, and the starting lineup lacked inside attack points. Sun Ce was amazingly tough. In the first quarter, the two teams scored 18 to 19. The Grizzlies restricted the Cavaliers well, but they were still defeated by the Cavaliers. Scored 19 points, while the Grizzlies only scored 18 points themselves.

Fortunately, in the second quarter, Nash led a lineup of Klay Thompson, Jimmy Butler, Sun Ce, and Lopez to suppress the opponent. Sun Ce was directed by Nash to go to the low post and continuously caused Scola to foul, and he couldn't shoot. Sun Ce can still shoot free throws, and this aspect has not been affected.

As for Sun Ce, he cheated this time and felt bad, so Harden possessed him!

Sun Ce was a little strange. He thought that Xiao Dengdeng would be like a turtle, and he would learn how to play after seeing him play. But Harden is indeed a player who is easily affected by the team environment, and he is willing to accept it. He did not learn from him. Rather, it feels like a version of Wade with reduced explosive power and enhanced shooting, or a version of Ginobili with enhanced three-pointers, reduced explosive power, and enhanced stability...

Relying on Sun Ce's all-out defense and wearing a blindfold to draw fouls in the first half, the Grizzlies scored 29-23 in the second quarter and entered the second half with a 5-point lead of 47-42 at the end of the first half.

For the Grizzlies, Klay Thompson and Paul George gradually found their shooting sense, which in turn led to the two main inside players Battier and Yi Jianlian in the second half. In the third quarter, they scored 31 to 25 in a single quarter. An 11-point lead entered the final quarter.

Sun Ce, who had taken a dose of stamina, played the entire 48 minutes of the game. In the final quarter, he led Tony Allen, Paul George, Battier, Larry Sanders and Gasol's center rotation to hold on for 10 points. With the lead left and right, Jeremy Lin, Mayo, and Beal went crazy trying to make a comeback, and used defense to hold the opponent to 16 points in a single quarter.

In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the Cavaliers 95-83 in an away game and successfully got revenge!

Jeremy Lin looked at Sun Ce, who made 4 of 14 shots and missed a single three-pointer, but scored 24 points. His whole body felt bad! Made 16 of 19 free throws in the game!

If Scola and Speights hadn't been in a foul crisis, the Cavaliers would have had the opportunity to rely on the team's offense to give the Grizzlies a greater obstacle, and winning would not be impossible.

But when encountering Sun Ce like this and the Grizzlies who were relentless in defense, the Cavaliers could only suffer.

With 24 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals, the Grizzlies won three consecutive victories and improved their record to 44 wins and 16 losses!

…

Another 0.1 points dropped, averaging 31.7 points per game, but it was better than Sun Ce expected. He did not only score more than a dozen points like in the past two games.

Sun Ce felt that he had "lost" his triple-double in the first two games, especially after watching the media praise him as "smart" for drawing fouls against the Cavaliers after the game.

He felt even more at a loss!

He found that he seemed to have found the correct posture for "Jingdezhen Play"!

If someone is obviously capable and has good touch, but he tries to use the rules to cause damage, he will definitely be despised.

But if the feel is not good, I usually don’t use the rules, but when the feel is not good, I use this style of play. Although it is a little clever, and because the feel is not good, this style of play is to make up for the bad feel. The offensive ability is insufficient, but no one thinks it is wrong to use it at this time.

Because fouling will affect the team's overall offensive rhythm, it will cause great harm to the team in the playoffs. The offense of role players in the playoffs will be greatly affected, and core players will also affect the team's offensive rhythm. Without it, role players will perform worse.

Role players have much deeper needs for the team than stars!

But the foul-making method is indeed a good method in special times.

At least when playing against teams that are not that strong, the effect is pretty good.

…

This month's schedule is still 17 games, but unlike January, there are 13 playoff-level teams in the 17 games in July, and 7 of them will even play against the top five in the Western Conference and the top two in the Eastern Conference.

And this month, we only played against the top five in the Western Conference and the top two in the Eastern Conference three times!

Although 17 games is still very tight, compared with January and February, it is much easier!

Whether the schedule is difficult or not depends on comparison.

After playing against the Cavaliers, Sun Ce returned to Memphis with his teammates.

With a record of 3 wins and 1 loss in the past week, Sun Ce won the Player of the Week for the third time this season.

A star can win the Best of the Week three times in a season, which is actually very good. Kobe has only won the Best of the Week twice this season. Of course, because he has a good teammate, Paul also won the Best of the Week twice; the Spurs Over there, Duncan, Parker, and Gay only won the Best of the Week 4 times combined.

It's just that Sun Ce's fans and Sun Ce himself feel very uncomfortable, because in the past two years, his weekly best times were 9 and 6 times. This season may be at most 5 times, and may not reach the weekly best in last season's shortened season. The best number, the best of the month is even more incomparable. In the previous two seasons, Sun Ce had won the best of the month three times. This season, he has only won the best of the month once, and it seems that it is not that easy to win the second time.

But this is actually normal. Sun Ce also understands that his performance in the past two years has been too crazy. This season, he has begun to take on heavy responsibilities and carry the team's offense. The data is good, but the record is not that good, and the efficiency has declined...

To be able to win the Best of the Month and the Best of the Week three times with more than a month of schedule left is already an honor for a superstar who relies on the progress of the team and himself.

However, Sun Ce was really not that happy to win the Best of the Week 3 times this time. James, on the other hand, had the Best of the Week 9 times...

On March 8, Women's Day, James tied Sun Ce's record for the most weekly awards. James tweeted that this milestone honor is worthy of making his mother proud.

After seeing James's Twitter, Sun Ce really felt that, putting aside things like clinging to groups and being extremely egoistic, James was simply impeccable in terms of being a friend, a son, a husband, etc.!

It is indeed worthy of respect.

Even if you deliberately create this image at the beginning, but you get used to it and maintain it until the end, it is no different from this kind of person.

…

…

March's compact but not so many strong opponents schedule continues. The Grizzlies are trying their best to win the games they should win under the rotation strategy.

Other strong teams also have their own goals. Unlike the Grizzlies, the Lakers, Spurs, Thunder, and Nuggets are all striving for a higher ranking.

The Grizzlies have already won the championship, and they no longer have the pressure of Sun Ce to compete for MVP. The top five teams will only need to enter the playoffs. The other four teams need home court advantage. For the Lakers and Spurs in the past two years, the past two If they didn't reach the finals this season, they felt they had failed, so they needed a division championship to boost their morale... The Spurs actually had another reason. Duncan just wanted to win and vent his grievances on his opponents.

The current players of the Thunder and Nuggets have never succeeded. They must fight and compete to find a sense of existence in the shadow of Sun Ce.

Over in the East, the Heat are still making great progress, winning 28 consecutive games...

The Bulls, on the other hand, took it easy. They couldn't fall down or rush forward, so they let Rose and Boozer cooperate in pick-and-rolls to train Rose's pick-and-roll offense, whose mid-range and long-range shots have gradually become stronger, and prepare for the playoffs.

On March 9, the Grizzlies defeated the Hornets 113-101 at home. After three games, Sun Ce's touch returned. The opponent chose to let him shoot, but he shot 7 of 14 three-pointers in a single game. Sun Ce In 32 minutes of playing time, he made 14 of 25 shots and scored 42 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. Irving was beaten so hard.

On March 11, the Grizzlies lost to the Clippers in an away game, ending their 4-game winning streak.

On March 12, the Grizzlies narrowly defeated the Trail Blazers 102-99 in back-to-back home and away games. Sun Ce scored 31 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks. The crucial fifth assist gave Paul George a near-win. Lillard missed the buzzer beater.

Finally, on March 12th, the Heat's 30-game winning streak was ended by the Pacers!

…

…

81 to 77, the Pacers narrowly defeated the Heat in an away game. David West's two key low post plays made Bosh and James desperate!

The Heat's best player tonight was actually Bosh, who scored 24 points and 8 rebounds, James had 13 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists, and Wade had 12 points...

After 30 consecutive wins, the Heat's game was completely sluggish. It seemed that they were holding back their efforts to win 30 consecutive victories but then relaxed after winning 30 consecutive victories, but they were also looking forward to breaking the Lakers' record. .

His body relaxed due to the initial "satisfaction", but he had greater expectations in his heart, which led James to shoot 4 of 24 from the field. He shot 20 irons in a single game for the fifth time in his 10-year career. The Heat The team's winning streak ends.

Sun Ce saw that the news about the Pacers' narrow victory over the Heat dominated the headlines and main news sections of major websites, and almost all pages of the forum were discussing the end of the Pacers and Heat's winning streak, and he felt no emotion in his heart.

The Heat have 20 games left and have already won 54. It will be difficult to win 72 games, but it is not a big problem to win 69 games, which is second in history, or even win 70 games alone.

James has completely locked in the MVP with this 30-game winning streak!

…

On the morning of the 13th, the end of the Heat's winning streak was still the hottest news.

There is no way, the Heat have dominated the hot news for almost two consecutive months. Only Sun Ce won the Grammy and led the team to overturn the Lakers before the All-Star Weekend... These things grabbed the headlines. At other times, almost every day it was "James" James James, Heat, Heat, Heat..."

Even on the Grizzlies side, the players were discussing the Heat when they arrived at the gym in the morning, only Sun Ce did not participate, and honestly practiced his left-handed mid-range shot.

"Noah, the Heat's winning streak is broken, do you know?"

"I know."

"Why are you so calm? Didn't you complain every time you saw the Heat's winning streak +1 a few days ago?"

Randolph was very surprised. He wanted to make a joke about James together. Although he doesn't hate James now, making a joke about James is not only fun among fans, but also interesting to the players.

It has become a habit. For example, Kobe, after turning into a pure scorer in the past two years, the proportion of iron shots is not as high as it was in the past, but when the players mention Kobe, they will still discuss Kobe's many shots and iron shots.

And tonight's opponent is the Timberwolves, which is currently the third from the bottom in the Western Conference after losing Love and currently has 20 wins and 43 losses. Sun Ce is training and did not come to discuss the Heat's loss with his teammates, which makes Randolph very strange.

As for Sun Ce, he has no time to care about other teams' affairs when he has training time.

After several months of training, Sun Ce feels that his left-handed shooting on the left side of the three-second zone is better than his right-handed shooting on the left side of the three-second zone.

During the All-Star Weekend, Sun Ce's left-handed mid-range shot on the left side of the three-second zone was rated as B-level, tying with his right hand. In less than a month, Sun Ce feels that his left hand is more accurate than his right hand on the left side of the three-second zone!

It may be because the right-handed shooting ability on the left side of the three-second zone has just reached the B-level, and Sun Ce feels that there may be a chance to break through!

Randolph did not provoke Sun Ce to discuss the end of the Heat's winning streak, and walked away depressed, and Sun Ce continued to practice.

Because the left-handed shooting on the left side of the three-second zone and the right-handed shooting on the right side of the three-second zone are almost like looking in the mirror, and Sun Ce's right-handed mid-range shooting ability on the right side of the three-second zone is the quasi-top level A+ level, and even the best in the A+ level. The left hand can copy the training experience of the right hand and make rapid progress.

And this kind of speed may get faster and faster before reaching the limit.

It doesn't mean that Sun Ce doesn't need to lay a foundation for his left hand just because he has the experience of shooting with his right hand and his left hand has the same shooting feeling as his right hand.

He still needs to lay a foundation, but the speed of laying a foundation is faster. However, it took two or three months to reach the B-level at the beginning, and it was indeed laying a foundation.

On the contrary, it only took more than a month to go from the B-level to the B+ level, because the foundation has been laid, just like the three-pointer in the top arc area, it has entered a rapid growth stage.

There is no pressure to play against the Timberwolves tomorrow night, so the Grizzlies only arranged regular training today, just two training sessions, and Sun Ce is seizing the time to practice left-handed mid-range shots.

There is no hurry, Sun Ce just honestly and steadily practiced. At 4:30 in the afternoon, Sun Ce rested for half an hour and prepared to start the last hour, a total of 6 groups of 300 left-handed mid-range shots.

But after practicing two groups, just after the second group was finished, the system prompt suddenly came!

"Congratulations to the host for raising the left mid-range shot (left side of the three-second zone) rating to B+. Because the host's left mid-range shot (left side of the three-second zone) rating surpasses the right mid-range shot (left side of the three-second zone), the left mid-range shot (left side of the three-second zone) rating replaces the right mid-range shot (left side of the three-second zone rating)."

"Ability rating A,

Physical fitness A+: speed S-, strength A, core strength S-, endurance A, jumping B, static confrontation A, leg explosive power A+ (explosive acceleration, rebound speed), explosive confrontation ability A+...

Shooting rating A-: three-pointer B+ (right sideline three-pointer B+, left sideline three-pointer C+, top arc three-pointer A), mid-range shot A (mid-range on the right side of the baseline A+, mid-range in front of the basket A+, mid-range on the right side of the three-second zone A+, left-handed mid-range on the left side of the three-second zone B+, left-handed bottom line A-), right-handed layup A+, left-handed layup A+...

Technical rating A: left-handed ball control A +, right-handed ball control A+, pass A, pick-and-roll jump shot A-, dribble-and-shoot A, pull-up jump shot B-, low-post post-up technique A, high-post post-up technique A, three-threat stance C, jump step C+..."

"Because the host's mid-range shooting evaluation in all positions has exceeded the B level, congratulations to the host, the skill card: High-post post-up king (Kobe Bryant version) has been upgraded from level 1 to level 2."

"High-post post-up king (Kobe) level 2: When the host is in a high-post post-up singles, if you choose to turn around, the burst speed will be increased by 1 small level; if you choose to turn over or turn and step back jump shot, the bounce speed will be increased by a small level, and the mid-range shooting evaluation will be temporarily increased by a small level. ;

If you finally choose to shoot, slightly reduce the impact of the jump caused by the pre-shooting action.

Note: Upgrading to level 3 requires that the host's all-round mid-range shooting evaluation is higher than level A- or use a skill upgrade card to upgrade. "

A natural improvement!

The foundation is getting better and better. When the shooting ability and muscle memory accumulate to a certain level, they will naturally improve!

Sun Ce and other Kobe-like high-post post-up kings have been waiting for a long time, but every player does not have talent in certain shooting points.

For example, Duncan is most accurate at 45 degrees; for example, Wade, he just can't practice three-pointers. Wade is definitely not unwilling to practice or not working hard.

Sun Ce's right hand's mid-range shot on the left side of the three-second zone is not very talented, far inferior to his right hand.

Now, the mid-range shot on the left side of the three-second zone has finally broken through the B level, and the skill has also been upgraded!

Moreover, the Kobe version of the high-post back-up king level 2 improves shooting, which gives Sun Ce a better choice in mid-range singles.

In the past, Sun Ce could only play his normal shooting ability in the high-post back-up. Of course, the A+ level three-second zone right shot, free throw line hook, and right baseline hook have made him a great threat in this position and can play the role of supporting the big... center guard.

But if you want to score, Sun Ce still prefers the pick-and-roll mid-range shot and the pick-and-roll mid-range Nowitzki-style lateral step jump shot, because it can trigger the ball-holding pick-and-roll expert and break through the A+ level of his own mid-range shooting limit.

Now, Sun Ce has another way to break through the mid-range limit. When playing high-post back-up, he can also break through the A+ level of the mid-range shot on the right side of the three-second zone!

After celebrating with several consecutive low-altitude flying dunks, Sun Ce put away his excitement, opened the ability evaluation and looked at it again, knowing that there are still many areas for improvement.

Forget about the mid-range shot, the three-pointer and the three-pointer from the right sideline need to work hard to break through to the A-level. After reaching the A level, the top arc three-pointer has entered a long accumulation period.

You can't rush for success in these two items, you can only take steady steps. In terms of the speed of progress, after reaching the bottleneck, it is not as fast as the progress of learning single defense with Tony and practicing low-post back-to-back with Randolph. Of course, this is relative, relative to the top arc area three-pointer and the quasi-first-class right sideline three-pointer that are now first-class.

Sun Ce can only practice one ball at a time to strengthen muscle memory, take it slowly, and don't rush.

There is also the training of crossover steps, which is learned quite quickly, but there is no foundation in this area, and the body shape is also an obstacle. Although the comprehension and learning ability have become better with the "pseudo-flower butterfly step", it is still a new field that has never been involved in. The slower the better.

He just turned 23 in January and feels that he has plenty of time!

Moreover, now he tries and occasionally succeeds in large-scale lateral changes in the game, which has surprised his opponents and occasionally been discussed by fans and the media, and he is very satisfied.

On the contrary, the folding layup and pull-up under the basket, this area, the body shape plays an important role. The top flexibility, plus the exaggerated body shape, the simple two pull-up postures, as long as they are displayed, unless he is double-teamed or restricted from jumping, it is almost a sure thing, but there are not many opportunities to display, and he is getting more and more attention under the basket.

Sun Ce is no longer the same as he was back then, referring to the goal.

His goal has gradually changed from gaining a foothold in the NBA and becoming a millionaire, to becoming the best substitute to compete for the best sixth man, to impacting the best lineup, to impacting the MVP, and winning the MVP consecutively... Now, Sun Ce's goal is to be the strongest!

...

After adjusting his mood, although he is still very excited, seeing that he still has so many areas to improve in order to become the best, his restlessness gradually dissipated, and his excitement could not be suppressed. Anyone who has improved and has a stronger skill bonus will be so excited.

Sun Ce looked at another high-post post-up skill - Jordan's turnaround jump shot king.

The mid-range shot must be rated A+ to upgrade to level 3 and get further bonuses.

Sun Ce's training skills are targeted. Improving himself is of course the first priority, but the bonus is also very important. Although he can play at a normal level without skills, with the skill bonus, he can break through his own limits!

To upgrade the Kobe version of the high-post post-up king to level 3, the all-round mid-range shot must reach at least A level, which is higher than A-level, so it is naturally A level.

Sun Ce already has three areas of A+ level mid-range shots. Sun Ce analyzed that if these two skills are not used with skill upgrade cards, his overall mid-range shot must reach A+ level!

"Level 3 of Left-Handed Shooting:

The host has the same feeling of dribbling and shooting with his left hand as with his right hand. If the host trains left-handed mid-range shooting, he will have the same shooting feeling as with his right hand.

Upgrade goal: Left-handed mid-range shooting on the left side of the three-second zone reaches A+ level (B+), left-handed mid-range shooting on the left side of the three-second zone reaches A+ level (C); left-handed mid-range shooting at the free throw line reaches A+ level (C+).

..."

It's still a long way to go!

After analyzing it, Sun Ce thought that he should first improve his left-handed mid-range shooting on the left side of the three-second zone. This is the most effective improvement for mid-range shooting. For his ball-holding style, shooting in the high area is much more useful.

The second training target for mid-range shots is the left baseline. Sun Ce thinks that he should start with the hook shot. Maybe the level 4 proficiency of the small hook shot needs to be upgraded to level 5. The only thing missing is the hook shot at the left baseline. After all, other positions have been well developed. The free throw line and the right baseline are both top-notch, and even extend to the right corner three-pointer. There is a B+ level right corner hook three-pointer...

But the level 4 proficiency of the small hook shot has stagnated for almost a season. It has been delayed to get the new skill "small sky hook". Sun Ce estimates that it is not a problem of distance, but that it has not been "all-round".

For the free throw line and the two sides of the baseline, Sun Ce thinks that the left baseline is missing.

Whether the analysis is right or not, Sun Ce has decided to practice the mid-range shot on the left side of the three-second zone. The second strengthening point of the mid-range shot is the left-handed hook shot on the left baseline, which completely forms a mirror mode.

To upgrade Kobe and Boss Joe's high-post back-to-the-basket skills, this must also be developed.

Of course, the right-handed mid-range shot also needs to be trained to maintain the feel. It may be that the limit of the shooting talent has been reached and it cannot be improved or the improvement is very slow and almost no improvement, but it still needs to be practiced.

Ray Allen is already at that three-point level, and he must have reached his limit long ago. But Ray Allen has been one of the hardest-working players for more than ten years. He will not relax just because he reaches his limit. Instead, he needs to rely more on training to maintain it. Live at this level.

As for the three-pointer, Sun Ce focused on the right sideline and the right corner hook, taking his time with the top arc three-pointer...

…

…

With 46 wins and 17 losses, the Grizzlies have 19 games left in the regular season. From March 14th to 31st, there are 10 games in 18 days, which is approximately equivalent to five games in two nine days. The schedule is still very compact.

But the opponent is not that strong, and Randolph is getting closer and closer to the best state. In the games he played, the stability of the mid-range shot has been significantly improved!

On the 14th, Sun Ce, who had just made a small but clear improvement, was very excited when facing the Timberwolves. He threw 28 times in 33 minutes, and his shooting rate was not good. He made 12 of 28 shots, including three. 5 out of 11 shots from the field was very good, and the opponent was gone in a pick-and-roll, so he threw them wantonly, but he still made more irons than he made.

Sun Ce scored 36 points and 12 rebounds. Randolph grabbed 10 offensive rebounds in this game, setting a new season high!

Randolph, who played 38 minutes, scored 35 points and 14 rebounds, setting a new season scoring high, helping the Grizzlies slay the Timberwolves with 41 points 122-81.

This is a very good sign!

After Randolph grabbed offensive rebounds many times, he went around and hit short-range jumpers on both sides of the three-second zone. This was something he was unwilling to do after grabbing offensive rebounds in the early season, and it also made his inside threat much smaller. , but now, this aspect is gradually strengthening!

After the game against the Timberwolves, the Grizzlies' most difficult schedule in March is here. The opponents are not that strong, but the schedule is very compact, with the longest 6 consecutive away games in the season!

First, the Western Conference will play the Nuggets, Jazz, Timberwolves, and Hornets. The games against these four teams are the last against them in the regular season this season.

Then there are two away games in the Eastern Conference, playing the Bobcats and Knicks. It is also the last time we play against these two teams this season.

From the 16th to the 26th, 11 days, 6 games, quite compact. Fortunately, only the Nuggets and Jazz are back-to-back, and the others have rest time.

After playing against the Timberwolves, Sun Ce came to Denver with the team. Sun Ce was not used to the long road trip without his chatty sister. He had played 4 consecutive away games twice, 5 consecutive away games once and 6 consecutive away games once. , and all the geese followed.

But now, Zu Ge prefers to play with Gohan... It feels as if he wants to spread the grievances of being bullied by his grandson on his son.

Sun Ce can only go on consecutive road trips alone...

Originally, Sun Ce had saved up a physical potion and planned to use the Nuggets to vent his grief and anger when he played against the Nuggets, but Randolph broke out for the second consecutive game!

I have been suppressing it for a long time, and I am in good shape recently. Moreover, Randolph has to rest for the second game of back-to-back games, so he vents his hunger for good performance on the Nuggets!

Faried, Gallinari, McGee... took turns being ravaged by Randolph, who had returned to S-level!

29 points and 12 rebounds in a single game, including 8 offensive rebounds. He grabbed offensive rebounds many times and scored and received extra penalties. The extra penalties were not great, but they caused a lot of fouls to the opponent's track insiders.

Sun Ce hasn't even started yet, scoring 28 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks, of which 8 rebounds were all defensive rebounds, and 3 blocks were all given to Lawson... 10 of 16, 3 of 4 three-pointers, Sun Ce The game only lasted 30 minutes. Relying on Randolph's restraint to force the opponent to shrink, Sun Ce shot easily and won before he got too wild!

After beating the Nuggets, the Grizzlies' record improved to 48 wins and 17 losses, surpassing the 47 wins and 18 losses of the Nuggets and ranking fourth in the Western Conference!

…

However, they were fourth in the Western Conference, and before they could settle down, their winning streak was ended by the Jazz in back-to-back games the next day.

The Jazz are like a poor version of the Grizzlies in the 10-11 season. In addition to defense, they are also defensive. They have repeatedly defeated strong teams in the regular season. The Heat have lost 9 games now, with 1 win and 2 losses after 30 consecutive victories. It seems that he has not yet adjusted from his extremely good playing style. He played too casually. After losing to the Pacers, he defeated the Hornets, but was defeated by the 76ers again, and it was 102 to 82. massacre.

This is the sequelae of winning for too long and too much. The Grizzlies won 14 consecutive games that year, all with a record of 3 wins and 3 losses, and the opponents were not very strong.

One of the Heat's first seven losses was to the Jazz. This team is very difficult to deal with.

If you lose, you lose. Anyway, the Jazz has little hope of entering the playoffs. Coach Hollins simply asked Sun Ce to shoot more. Sun Ce accepted Kobe's challenge to win the scoring title. Now Sun Ce averages 31.6 points per game, ranking second. Kobe Bryant averaged 30.9 points per game, and Sun Ce is still under a lot of pressure.

If Kobe had a few consecutive 40+ games, he might overtake Sun Ce.

After two games, Randolph returned to a stable 18+9 level. After entering March, Randolph's data stabilized at this level. The Grizzlies also played all games this season in March. The best offensive level, averaging 104 points per game.

Although it is a bit difficult for the Grizzlies to reach the league average of 102.3 points this season. They have played 66 games and averaged 100.5 points per game. They have finally become a team averaging over 100 points per game, but there is still hope.

…

In the remaining four away games, the Grizzlies achieved a record of 3 wins and 1 loss, defeating the Timberwolves and Hornets. In the last match, they successfully gave Irving a perfect "season welcome ceremony". Sun Ce got 38 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists, the 14th triple-double of the season. Just brush it, don't even need 40 points, you have to get assists to double digits...

Later, they lost to the Bobcats, whose Al Jefferson was liberated after McRoberts this season. In the last game of the six-game away game, Klay Thompson and Paul George shined in Madison with double 3D. Both of them scored 20+. Nash's possible last trip to Madison got 35 minutes of playing time and scored 16 points and 16 assists.

Sun Ce only played half the game and scored 18 points, winning by doing nothing...

This time, Sun Ce did not have to go up and compete with double 3D, Yi Jianlian, Larry Sanders and Nash for the limelight. Occasionally "sacrificing" is necessary. On such a stage, they are in good shape, so they have to play more.

126 to 91... The Knicks are really miserable. Before the All-Star Weekend, Bynum played well, averaging 21 points and 9.5 rebounds per game, but when he went to Germany for treatment during the All-Star Weekend, he secretly went to Austria to bungee jump in the snowy mountains...

I don't know if it was because of this, but Bynum got injured again not long after returning after the All-Star Weekend, and basically can't play this season.

Sun Ce feels that the Knicks' vision in selecting stars is always so sharp...

...

...

After 6 games in 11 days, Sun Ce and the team returned to Memphis on the 27th.

It's not easy yet!

Next, it's a 4-day 3-game March ending!

The third strong opponent of this month came right after the Grizzlies returned to Memphis.

On the 28th, they played against the Thunder, and on the 30th and 31st, they played back-to-back against the Rockets and Celtics.

The latter two teams are not important. The Thunder, which has come to Memphis today, is the opponent that the Grizzlies value the most.

In turn, the Thunder also regard the Grizzlies as an important opponent.

200 meters in front of the Grizzlies Arena gate, that is, the farthest distance from the Grizzlies Arena’s outer square to the Grizzlies Arena gate, seems to have become a "famous attraction".

Since it was revealed that James would stand here for an hour every time he came to Memphis, Rose, Evans, Westbrook, Griffin, Irving... would come here to follow suit.

This time it was Durant's turn.

After arriving in Memphis, the Thunder did not arrange training in the morning, and the other Thunder players stayed in the hotel to rest. Westbrook had stood here for half an hour last time, and he was on the news to take advantage of James's popularity during the winning streak.

Durant did not stay in the hotel to rest, but came here to look at the Grizzlies' image of Panda above the Grizzlies Arena gate.

Durant played against the Grizzlies 3 times this season, with 1 win and 2 losses. It was very heavy for him to play against the Grizzlies again.

In the first match of the season, they played against the Grizzlies. In the second match, they were defeated by Sun Ce. In the third match, Randolph was in good shape, Sun Ce did not explode, and performed normally. The Grizzlies narrowly won thanks to the key shots of Sun Ce and Klay Thompson.

What does this mean?

It means that as long as Randolph recovers, the Grizzlies still have the strength to suppress his Thunder team!

Moreover, this suppression is becoming more and more obvious. Even if Randolph enters the best state this season, it is slightly worse than last season, but Sun Ce's progress is still so exaggerated!

It seems that no matter how tight the schedule is, it can't stop Sun Ce from improving!

At present, the Grizzlies have 51 wins and 19 losses, and there are 12 games left to play. The probability of winning 60 games is not high. In other words, with the Nuggets expected to win 60 games, the Grizzlies are very likely to enter the playoffs as the fifth in the West.

The Thunder currently has 53 wins and 18 losses, and there are still 11 games to play. The Spurs, who are currently the first in the West, have 55 wins and 16 losses. The Thunder have a chance to rush to the first place, but they may also drop to fourth, and of course, they may even drop to fifth.

That is to say, whether they complete their best expectations and rush to the first place in the West, or fail to stabilize in the later stage and drop to fourth or fifth, there is a high probability that they will meet the Grizzlies in the playoffs.

This puts a lot of pressure on Durant... Although it is possible to enter the playoffs in the second or third place, Durant's goal is to win the championship, so the Grizzlies are a mountain that cannot be bypassed!

Although the Grizzlies' record after the All-Star Weekend is not as good as in January and the first half of February, this is because the Grizzlies have major players resting in almost every game, and they can still have a record of 51 wins and 19 losses, which means that the Grizzlies have a deep enough lineup, and the three stars Sun Ce, Randolph, and Gasol are strong!

Especially Sun Ce, who currently averages 31.4 points per game, surpassing Kobe who averages 30.8 points per game, Anthony who averages 30.75 points per game, and Durant who averages 30.6 points per game!

Durant didn't participate in the All-Star Game out of spite, but he still watched the game, mainly to see the dance show of Duncan, James, and Sun Ce, three damn guys.

James and Sun Ce are fine, but Durant could never have imagined that Duncan's MVP ranking has always been higher than his since late January!

Durant feels like he is in an era called "nightmare". Duncan and Kobe are reluctant to age. Most of the stars in the Mesozoic era collapsed quickly, but there is James, a superstar of the era.

And Durant's own period - the new generation, Sun Ce, Rose, Evans... and his third brother, this bunch of guys who should be point guards, it's amazing!

Durant is about to enter the ranks of Mesozoic players, and theoretically he is about to enter his peak period, but now he feels confused about the road ahead.

Just when Durant was confused, he saw a pickup truck that often appeared in the news - Sun Ce's car drove into the stadium.

The Grizzlies had just returned from consecutive away games, and Durant thought they might not practice today. Even if there was a game tomorrow, the Grizzlies would have played 4 games in 6 days, and no matter how serious the opponent was, they would not have to practice. After all, it was just a regular season.

Durant stood for a while and saw that it was already 10:30, and no one else from the Grizzlies came to the stadium.

That is to say... it was just Sun Ce who came to practice!

Even if he hated Sun Ce, Durant had to admit at this moment that he couldn't help but admire Sun Ce for his hard work!

...

In fact, after entering the stadium for more than half an hour, Sun Ce did not change his jersey or do anything related to training. Instead, because he missed Wuhan's full moon wine, he brought Lily Collins, Zu Ge, and Wuhan to let Wuhan see his father's workplace...
