One Thousand Three Hundred and Ninety-Two. The Strongest Man in the CIC
Scoring two goals in the middle-range area with his left hand is rare in Sun Ce's career. Although he has developed his left hand, he doesn't use it often, because when there is defense on the right side of the three-second zone, the right hand is not necessarily worse than the left hand when facing weaker defense.
If he wasn't almost exhausted, Sun Ce wouldn't consider shooting continuously on the left side of the three-second zone, but this time, developing his left hand worked!
With Sun Ce's hook shot on the left baseline, Earl Clark of the Lakers missed the mid-range shot at the last moment, and the Grizzlies chased the score to 48 to 51, only 3 points behind!
Following the offensive duel of 28 to 32 between the two teams in the first quarter, the second quarter scored 20 to 19.
If the first quarter was a beautiful duel between the Grizzlies' steady play on both offense and defense and the Lakers' pick-and-roll offense of Paul and Josh Smith.
Then the second quarter was extremely difficult!
Scoring at the basket was a rough confrontation, and there were no three-point opportunities. Only the mid-range shots of Sun Ce, Randolph, Kobe, and Paul were worth watching, but they didn't score much.
Fans of other teams would not accept this sudden change in style, but Grizzlies fans are used to it... Moreover, the momentum is good now. At the last moment, Sun Ce scored 4 points in a row to narrow the gap to 3 points!
Although Sun Ce seemed to be very tired, everyone knew Sun Ce's recovery ability. He came back in the second half and was a brave man again!
On the Lakers side, the only threat now felt was Sun Ce's two consecutive left-handed shots!
...
Amid the cheers of the fans at the scene, Sun Ce walked into the player tunnel, returned to the locker room and went directly to the bathroom.
In the first half, he made 8 of 18 shots, 4 of 6 free throws, 20 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks, and 2 steals, accompanied by two fouls and 3 turnovers. In such a game, he tried his best, but the team still fell behind.
The strengths were similar, but the opponent made a change first and played a team offense. If it weren't for Randolph in the first quarter, Nash at the end of the first quarter, and Sun in the second quarter, the Lakers, who wanted to continue winning and were in good shape, might have widened the gap.
But playing like this, although the score was tight, and they beat the Lakers in the second quarter, Sun Ce had reached his limit.
The physical potion will be available in the next game. In fact, what Sun Ce wanted most at this time was not the star experience card, but the physical potion.
Because they have gradually found the feeling, they just need to stabilize the afternoon and look for a chance to turn the game around. Whether it is defending the opponent or using the defensive tendency of the French to find scoring opportunities, they are doing better and better. Overall, from the third minute of the game to the past 22 minutes of the game, they, the Grizzlies, played a score of 44 to 41, with a slight advantage!
What needs to be done now is to prevent Kobe from exploding in the third or fourth quarter and play steadily.
Stability is the most critical point to win.
I think so, but Sun Ce knows that he thinks so. An important point is that as he passes through his rookie period, the star experience cards are getting fewer and fewer... or the star experience cards of a certain player are getting fewer and fewer. Event rewards are usually props that assist him in his growth during the period of rapid growth.
For example, skills, cards or buffs that help training bonuses, etc.
For example, "Persistence at 4 o'clock in the morning", "Fake Flower Butterfly Step" cross-step training bonus... and so on.
Sun Ce's continuous strides this year are closely related to the changes in the rewards given by the system. Otherwise, even if he is in the period of rapid growth, it is estimated that it will not be possible to improve so much in one year.
Now Sun Ce has obtained powerful star experience cards, more by breaking records to get achievement rewards, and most of the star experience cards rewarded by events are team cards.
Looking at the remaining three cards, the turtle card denies that mid-range shots are very important in the playoffs.
The first round was okay, the opponent was relatively weak, and in the second round and this Western Conference Finals, Sun Ce found that the key to winning is still mid-range shots!
Using the turtle card will definitely affect mid-range shots.
"NBA Three-Point Contest Champion Random Player Star Experience Card (as of 2013)", "1990 Three-Point Contest Participants Random Player Star Experience Card".
After thinking for a while, Sun Ce decided to use the latter card!
If he could draw any one of Nowitzki, Bird, or Pierce... the former card is also very good, with Bird and Jordan, but also role players or unsuitable players such as Mark Price, Craig Elu, Bob Hansen, Craig Hodges, Jon Sandward, and Reggie Miller, such as pure pitcher Reggie Miller, who is still powerful, but the team needs him to score with the ball.
As for the three-point contest champion, in addition to Bird, Pierce, and Nowitzki, at least there are Hornacek, Ray Allen who has not transformed into a pure pitcher, Glen Rice and others, and the probability of getting a more suitable star experience card is higher!
Use it when you think of it, and the star experience cards saved are for use in critical moments in the playoffs, so there is nothing to hesitate.
In Sun Ce's view, star experience cards are originally part of his strength.
With a thought, a three-dimensional image of the three-point contest champions shooting three-pointers from 1986 to 2013 appeared in front of him.
"The host is using the NBA Three-Point Contest Champion Random Player Star Experience Card (as of 2013), randomly drawing..."
In Sun Ce's expectation, after 3 seconds, a face that looked like the Silver Horn King appeared in his sight, and the other images disappeared.
"Congratulations to the host for winning the 2006 All-Star Weekend Three-Point Contest Champion Dirk Nowitzki Star Experience Card..."
"Dirk Nowitzki 2005-2006 version, 28 years old, averaging 26.6 points, 9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.7 steals, 1 block, shooting percentage 48%, three-point shooting percentage 40.6% (1.4 three-point shots per game), free throw shooting percentage 90.1%...
Ability evaluation S-, offense S, defense B, three-pointer A+, mid-range shooting S+, layup A+...matching bonus..."
"Because The match is 70% based on the differences in body shape and athletic ability, the similarity of the shooting area, body shape, etc.
LeBron James' balance bracelet is triggered, and the host moves to a power forward, with a 20% match bonus.
Because the host has the Dirk Nowitzki face-to-face singles feature conversion skill: face-to-face singles lateral jump shot, the match bonus is 10%.
The perfect use conditions have been met, and the host and the star experience card effects will be retained as much as possible..."
"Fuck! The best face-to-face singles! "
What good luck!
Sun Ce once missed the 10-11 season playoff version of Nowitzki's star experience card. Although he was looking forward to drawing Nowitzki moving the big bird, he didn't expect to really draw it!
