One Thousand Three Hundred and Eighteen. The Clippers, the Grizzlies' Nemesis?

Another thing that made Sun Ce feel unhappy was that the Clippers and Warriors seemed to be competing to play against the Grizzlies at the end of the season.

Sun Ce played poorly against the Clippers because he had a cold hand, but others thought that Sun Ce was in a slump for a few games because he was defended by the Clippers.

From a logical point of view, Sun Ce felt that the media was right, and this should be the reason.

But the Warriors and Clippers were competing to play against the Grizzlies, and Sun Ce felt that the two teams had different ideas.

The Warriors competed for the sixth place because they didn't want to play against the Spurs and Lakers, both of which were too strong. They chose the Grizzlies because they thought the Grizzlies might be slack because of winning the championship. After all, it is not uncommon for the defending champion to be eliminated in the first round.

The Clippers competed for the sixth place just to play against the Grizzlies.

When the media analyzed the matchups between the sixth and eighth teams in the West at the end of the season, some experts said that the Clippers beat the Grizzlies, and the Clippers believed it.

Anyway, the Tyrannosaurus Rex in Los Angeles felt that his luck had turned!

Since the Clippers are confident that they will play the Grizzlies in the sixth pick, Sun Ce can only use the game to help the media verify whether the Clippers are the nemesis of the Grizzlies when the game comes.

After breakfast, Sun Ce first sent Zugoose to school, and then went to the stadium to participate in the celebration.

Teams that have entered the playoffs have similar activities. Before Sun Ce joined the Grizzlies, there were very few celebrations. The end of the regular season is the end of the season. The dinner after the end of the season is at most a farewell dinner, and the people can't even get together.

Anyway, Sun Ce has become accustomed to celebrating with teammates and selected fans after the regular season every season, giving out rewards and eating something.

After finishing this series of things at noon, the Grizzlies coaching staff held a regular season summary meeting in the afternoon.

This season's regular season is definitely far beyond expectations. I thought 50 wins would reach the passing line, but who knew that this season the West would not enter the playoffs with 50 wins.

I thought 55 wins were worth celebrating, but who knew that 55 wins would not make it into the top five in the West...

And finally got a record of 60 wins and 22 losses, which is obviously something to be happy about.

This has brought stronger confidence to the Grizzlies coaching staff and players!

The team meeting summarized the performance of each player in the regular season.

Sun Ce, the league's scoring leader, Klay Thompson averaged 18.2 points per game, the second highest on the team, and there were three players averaging between 10 and 15 points per game. Randolph averaged 13.8 points per game. He fell behind too much in the early stage, and it was not like in the original time and space that he could only rely on him to score. He also threw more when he was not in good condition. The data declined, but the average of 18 points and 9 rebounds in March and April was still very impressive.

Paul George averaged 14.1 points per game, the third in the Grizzlies.

Gasol averaged 29 minutes per game and scored 11.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.3 blocks. The data does not look good, but the defensive role is extremely strong.

Nash is still the assist leader of the Grizzlies. He played 60 games and averaged 7.2 points and 6.4 assists per game.

Yi Jianlian averaged 9.7 points per game, just a little short of averaging double digits.

In general, the performance of the veterans this season is OK, which has a lot to do with the rotation strategy. For example, Nash rested for 22 games in a season, only played 1 back-to-back, and rested when he should in consecutive away games.

The most terrible thing is that the Grizzlies restricted the opponent's scoring this season, allowing the opponent to score only 89.5 points per game... Although the average of 102.19 points per game is not good, the average net score of more than 12 points per game is the first in the league! It is higher than the net score of the Spurs, Lakers, and Heat!

...

After the team summary meeting, it was notified to start preparing for the series with the Clippers tomorrow, and the team was disbanded at 3 pm.

Sun Ce was not in a hurry to leave, and discussed with his teammates about the matchup of this year's playoffs.

The series with the Clippers had been discussed in the season summary meeting. The team editor had worked all night last night to produce the Clippers' game videos, the videos of the Grizzlies' games against the Clippers, the videos of the Clippers' tense games, etc.

The materials were prepared long ago. Every playoff team was ready to record like a pie. God knows if there will be an upset. In 2007, who would have thought that a 67-win team would be eliminated in the eighth place?

Sun Ce and Nash talked about the series they wanted to watch. One of them, of course, was Evans and Rose facing off on the playoff stage again.

The duel between the two top point guards of the new generation, as the top point guards in the minds of fans, Sun Ce and Nash naturally wanted to watch.

However, there was another series that Sun Ce was very interested in, or he would feel regretful if the two teams did not meet in the past few years.

Celtics vs. James, this is a classic song that started in 2008.

The Celtics giants have been broken up, but James and the Celtics meet again in the playoffs, the fourth time in six years. Last season, the Celtics lost to the 76ers in a bloody game 7 and failed to meet James again. Sun Ce felt it was a pity from the perspective of a fan.

Others, the Cavaliers are actually fifth in the East... I don't know if the Cavaliers can beat the Spurs and the Hawks.

The Pacers continue to improve this season, with good talent and four representative players of the new generation; on the Nets side, Deron made it to the Eastern Conference playoffs for the first time, which is still very interesting.

The Eastern Conference playoffs are more or less interesting, even the 70-win and 40-win teams are very interesting to play in the playoffs, which makes Sun Ce feel quite weird.

It's even more lively in the West!

The Spurs and Warriors are playing against each other... Both teams play as a team, and both are strong in offense and good in defense. In addition, the Spurs have gained a lot of popularity in recent years. The combination of Curry and Harden, known as the "strongest backcourt under the dream backcourt", is also very popular. This matchup is very interesting.

The Thunder and the Nuggets meet... The first and second place in the Northwest Division directly face off in the first round. The key is that the first place in the Northwest Division looks completely inferior to the second place in the Northwest Division...

There is another matchup, which Sun Ce thinks is both regrettable and very much expected.

The Lakers vs. the Mavericks, the two teams have not played against each other in the playoffs for more than 20 years. The last time the two teams played against each other was in the 87-88 season Western Conference Finals.

In other words, this is the first time Kobe and Nowitzki have played against each other in the playoffs!

This is a very magical thing. In the past 12 years, Nowitzki has played in the playoffs every year, and Kobe has only missed one time. Kobe has played in the Western Conference Finals 8 times, and Nowitzki has also played in the Western Conference Finals 3 times, but these two superstars of the new century have never met in the playoffs.

Through the news seen on the Internet, TV, and newspapers, and through the perception of the emotions of fans and teammates, Sun Ce is now getting more and more anxious.

When the season was going on, I felt that the playoffs were still far away... Now, the playoffs are really here!
