One Thousand Three Hundred and Thirty-One. Every Year's Playoffs Are a Change of History
On the second day of the playoffs, Sun Ce dominated the screen.
7 dunks, 4 over dunks, 2 tip-ins, and one dunk by Griffin who was very active in dunking. Unfortunately, Sun Ce rushed to the basket just when he landed. The pictures captured by the media were exactly the posture of Sun Ce over Griffin...
But what's even more exaggerated is that Sun Ce scored 50+ triple-double in the first game of the playoffs!
This is Sun Ce's third playoff 50+ triple-double in his career, and also Sun Ce's sixth single-game 50+ in the playoffs. He is getting closer to surpassing Jordan's 8 playoff 50+!
This time, even ESPN's headline was "The Lord You Can't Provoke", instead of Ray Allen who received the ball from the outside and was blocked by three people at the last moment and made a buzzer-beating layup to kill James of the Celtics.
Just saying that the Clippers are the "Lord Nemesis" has been met with almost the most brutal playoff revenge in history...
Although fans have been mentally prepared for Sun Ce's habitual outbursts, Sun Ce is used to it, but fans still can't get used to it.
Too cruel!
Whenever he played against an important opponent or an opponent he wanted to retaliate against, Sun Ce became more and more ruthless!
At this time, no one cared that Sun Ce played for 4 minutes in the fourth quarter and scored 4 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, and no one cared that the Grizzlies actually gave up defense in the last 8 minutes. They just regarded this as Sun Ce's 50+ triple-double and ruthless abuse of the Clippers by 52 points...
...
...
The media can hype it up if they want to. Sun Ce needs them to hype it up now. It would be best if the players on the Clippers completely lose their mentality, so that the Grizzlies have a greater chance of sweeping.
Sun Ce never underestimated the Clippers, and even prepared to play until the sixth game, that is, the fifth game to grab the decisive game.
So, when there was an incident against the Clippers, and the goal was to sweep, Sun Ce wanted to give the opponent a ruthless blow in the first game.
At the same time, he also guessed that the opponent might use single defense against him.
But I didn't expect the opponent to be so bold. Not only did they defend him alone, they didn't even trap him in the pick-and-roll. He scored 12 points in a row with 4 shots in 4 shots at the beginning. Sun Ce must seize the opportunity to break the opponent's confidence.
As for whether it was too cruel... Will Carter regret his leaping dunk that made the opponent's mentality explode and say goodbye to basketball?
This is the NBA,
It is an adult society. If the mentality is not strong enough, it will be useless when encountering a small setback. Then it will be useless.
Before going to bed, Sun Ce looked at the battle reports of other games on the second game day of the playoffs.
The Heat narrowly defeated the Celtics 85-84, breaking the strong defense of Pierce and Garnett who tried their best.
The Cavaliers, who had the same record but were swept by the Hawks in the regular season, actually defeated the Hawks 109-101 in the first game of the playoffs and snatched the home advantage.
The Spurs were also thrilling and played double overtime with the Warriors!
However, Gay is more stable than Curry and Harden at the critical moment. He scored 7 points in the first overtime and 11 points in the second overtime, with 47 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, helping the Spurs to beat the Warriors 135-129 and win the first victory of the series.
Among them, in the second overtime, Gay scored 11 points for the Spurs, while Jarrett Jack scored 5 points for the Warriors.
Sun Ce calculated that Gay scored a total of 18 points in overtime, which means only 29 points in regular time... Sun Ce remembered that Gay averaged 24+ points in the regular season, but only 10 times 30+, ranking last among all players who averaged 20+ points in the league.
The Spurs' score control is awesome!
Of course, Sun Ce thinks it is more about the distribution of physical strength. No Spurs player averaged more than 35 minutes per game in the regular season, and the highest was Gay's 34 minutes per game.
...
After the first game, the Grizzlies' playoffs have completely kicked off.
On April 24, Sun Ce still got up early in the morning. After activating the "persistence at 4 a.m.", he came to the gym early to practice crossover dribbling and three-pointers from the right sideline under the command of Tim Hardaway, and practiced three-pointers from the right corner hook and left mid-range hook from the left baseline.
These areas are still in the stage of rapid improvement based on the foundation of these aspects. This speed does not mean that there will be great progress after practicing for a few days, but that these areas may reach the limit that can be achieved after laying a good foundation in one or two years.
Just like Sun Ce laid a good foundation for mid-range shooting in the first and second grades, he reached the quasi-top level in the three areas of the right side of the three-second zone, the right baseline, and the free throw line in the third grade, which may be the limit of his talent.
It's just that if there is a chance to practice, Sun Ce is ready to practice more, and the more he can improve in the playoffs, the better.
Tim Hardaway no longer has hope for the word "rest". He has never seen a player who gets 50+ the day before and goes to the gym to practice at 7:58 the next morning. It is said that this guy started training at 3:58, but he had breakfast and drove his sister to school and the gym in between.
In the morning, Sun Ce basically exhausted his physical strength. He took a break at noon and prepared for tomorrow's game with his teammates under the guidance of the coaching staff in the afternoon.
Coach Hollins really didn't expect to win so many points in the first game.
Winning so much is naturally very happy, but now Coach Hollins has another headache - worrying that he will relax in the future after winning too much in the first game.
But now Coach Hollins doesn't dare to let Sun Ce go to "motivate teammates". Coach Hollins can guess that if he lets Sun Ce go again, Sun Ce will definitely say - kill them! We can win no matter how we play...
Anything can happen in the playoffs. For example, last night, the Celtics relied on Anthony Morrow's three-pointer to almost beat the Heat. This was a series with a difference of 30 wins between the two teams. They almost got upset.
Coach Hollins thought that he seemed to be a very bold person. He thought more than once that he would change 5 people and change the style of play every time he rotated... But with Sun Ce, he found that he had to be a calm and composed coach.
Otherwise, he couldn't play anymore!
...
After the first two game days of the playoffs, 8 series, 16 teams, fans have an impression of how each team performed in the playoffs this season.
Some veterans exploded in the playoffs, and some young teams are really too young; similarly, some veterans you think are really out of their depth and should stay away from the NBA, and some young players are ready to take over, or are already catching up with contemporary or even historical NBA stars.
The Grizzlies played their second home game against the Clippers on April 25, 95 to 89. Despite some twists and turns, the Grizzlies still firmly maintained their home advantage!
