$1,270. Teammates' Progress
Taking Zai, Lily Collins, and Zu Goose to the outside of the arena, Sun Ce was about to ask the security guard to take a group photo.
But when I walked out, I happened to see the heavy back of a migrant worker walking away from the arena.
The tall and thin figure has an obvious hunchback, as if his shoulders have been bent by life...
"He came to our arena to look for a job, right? What a pity. We had already renovated the outside during the All-Star Weekend, otherwise we could have hired him to work..."
Sun Ce thought about it for a while and ignored it. He stood with Zu Ge and Lily Collins and asked security to take photos with his son.
The migrant worker left the Grizzlies Arena without looking back. He didn't turn around to see a scene completely different from what he had imagined...
…
At the end of the regular season, the league became increasingly crazy.
The competition between the Lakers and Spurs for first place in the Western Conference is becoming increasingly fierce, with the Thunder and Nuggets following closely behind, ready to rush forward at any time.
In the East, after a wave of 2 wins and 3 losses, the Heat finally won a wave of three consecutive victories and seemed to have recovered. With 59 wins and 10 losses, there is still hope of tying the Bulls' best record in history.
At least, with 70 wins, the Heat don't seem to have a big problem.
The Hawks have been crazy recently. Iguodala has been in excellent form recently. He has performed wonderfully with Teague, Horford, and Korver. He has won a wave of 7 consecutive victories, overtaking the Pacers, and rushed to third place in the Eastern Conference. .
In the West, if the Thunder wants to hit the No. 1 spot in the Western Conference, the remaining two games at the end of March are critical, because the Lakers and Spurs will compete in the next two games. First, the Lakers and Horses will battle, then the Lakers and Bulls, The Spurs play the Nuggets.
At the end of the regular season, there will be more and more strong matchups!
The Thunder's schedule in April is not easy at all!
The same goes for the Grizzlies. It seems very difficult to win 60 games. In March, the Grizzlies' opponents were relatively weak. But in April, there were 9 games, two games against the Spurs, and two strong opponents, the Lakers and Mavericks. The Jazz and Clippers should not be underestimated either. Both teams defeated the Grizzlies twice in the regular season.
That’s 6 games!
The Grizzlies are currently 51 wins and 19 losses, with 12 games in hand, and they need to win 9 games to get 60 wins.
…
"We only have one back-to-back left this season,
Next, we will cancel the rest and enter playoff mode to prepare for the playoffs.
We have no ranking pressure!
Remember this, relax, and just play with all your strength when you encounter a strong opponent. Don’t worry about the record. For us, understanding the opponent and finding a way to deal with them in the playoffs is more important than winning..."
On the morning of the game against the Thunder, coach Hollins kept emphasizing that he should be focused and devoted to the game, but not too nervous.
Sun Ce and his teammates naturally want to hit 60 wins if they have the opportunity, and the coaching staff also thinks, which coach doesn't want to win 60 games more times in his coaching career? This kind of opportunity is not something you only dream of.
Popovich has won 50+ games for more than ten consecutive years, but has only had 60+ win seasons three times.
Jackson is so good that he has won 11 championships, but he has "only" had 7 60+ win seasons.
But Coach Hollins still cares more about the playoffs. Although it is time to adjust to the playoff mode, he cannot let the players work too hard. Maintaining health, stability and targeted adjustments are the most important at this stage. of.
After the tactical meeting, Sun Ce and his teammates continued their preparation goals for yesterday afternoon and continued to prepare for tonight's game against the Thunder.
At the end of the two training sessions, the defensive plan for Durant, Ellis, and Westbrook was almost done. Today's preparations ended. The afternoon was mainly for rest and discussion with the players themselves.
The coaching staff has clear tactical guidelines, but the players have to grasp the details on the field themselves. Only by being able to anticipate more situations and imagine more solutions can they be better prepared.
While eating lunch, Sun Ce looked at the latest ability evaluations of his players.
"Panda S-... is it over? Age is so cruel, and Zach himself is the same. He doesn't do anything serious every summer. Otherwise, how can such talent and skill-based play have passed its peak just after turning 31? It's okay. And S-level, our strongest player."
"Sister-in-law, with peak A+ strength, it is possible to win the best defensive player... Why don't I, Sun, have this opportunity?"
"Pickled pepper is A-level, Teacher Na is A-level... Hey, Pickled pepper seems to be stronger than Teacher Na in terms of overall strength! Damn it, Tracy McGrady's figure + Mamba's perseverance..."
"Klay boy A-, it's okay. I wonder if I can beat the King of Emojis and win the Sixth Man of the Year award. There is no store like this after passing this village."
"Brother Jimmy is at B level? Artist is at B+ level? The progress is ok, and there will be clear improvement during the season."
"Yimuhua United is B+, our most stable and comprehensive inside player. It's a pity that he has no clear strong points except for secondary offense and cutting, otherwise he would have a chance to break through to the edge of the first-class."
"The little prince is B-level and the president is B-level. These two veterans are so good. Even if they only play for more than ten minutes in a game and sometimes even have no playing time, they can still make stable contributions in the playing time. It's like having one veteran in a family." Treasure..."
"Little Lopez is B-grade, Teacher Tony is B-grade, and Beverly is C+? That's okay! He is almost a high-quality role player. He has played 55 games and averaged 13.6 minutes and 1.2 steals per game? Damn it!
Claude is C+, which is a pity. This guy has few opportunities to play. He plays in the Development League most of the time. He has a higher starting point than Beverley but has not improved as fast as Beverley. Talent is also a reason. Beverley's defense and three-point talent are much better than Claude..."
In general, Sun Ce feels that his team deserves the adjective "strong and powerful". Therefore, the team has not suffered any major injuries in the past two years. The biggest injuries are the shoulder injury suffered by Paul George in the early season, the ankle and thigh injuries suffered by Yi Jianlian in the early season, and the elbow injury of Gasol.
The others are minor injuries such as sprains and strains, as well as the influence of Tony Allen's old injury.
In addition, whenever a player is injured, the team will immediately Ma chose to let the players rest, the depth of the lineup, the biggest role of the regular season is to prevent injuries from occurring and worsening, and to nip the worst in the bud.
This year, the Grizzlies, Randolph, Nash, Battier have declined to varying degrees, and players such as Jordan, Neal, Ridnour, and Aaron Gray have left, but many players have also made significant progress.
It has reached the final sprint of the regular season, and Sun Ce is now nervous and looking forward to it.
The progress of this season is so special, from the team plan to his personal goals, there are obvious differences from the beginning!
