149. The Powerful Group of 5
When the Grizzlies came to Oakland again this time, Sun Ce discovered a sad thing.
In the news, the Grizzlies' airport photos did not see Iverson.
Even if Iverson's current state has plummeted and he is far away from the ranks of top players, he is still the most popular in the Grizzlies, or the Grizzlies still have a little attention, basically relying on Iverson.
But the Grizzlies only played three games into the season before dropping Iverson.
Sun Ce learned from other news that the Grizzlies are already negotiating a buyout with Iverson.
Time is really cruel...
In the afternoon, the Warriors began to prepare tactically for the game against the Grizzlies.
Although it was a disastrous defeat to the Suns, it had little effect on the Warriors' young players.
People are strong!
Instead, under the guidance of the coaching staff, mainly the guidance of the old Nelson, these young players felt the power of running and bombing. The Suns are undoubtedly the strongest team in history. -Under Gentry's combing, he played a beautiful running and bombing again.
This gives young players a place to look forward to.
When Sun Ce heard this at the tactical meeting in the morning, he always felt like he was making a big deal, and based on his understanding of the fact that Old Nelson would choose to retire soon, he was definitely making a big deal.
He thinks the NBA is a magical place. Almost all players have no work experience. After retiring, many players are not used to it, especially the black players with the largest group in the NBA. Most of them go bankrupt after retiring, and they are easily deceived by their agents. It feels related to this.
...
After the afternoon training, Sun Ce stayed and continued to practice. Curry envied Sun Ce's recovery ability, but he could only go back to rest and reserve his energy for tomorrow's game.
After the training, Sun Ce returned to the apartment, had a big meal, rested for a while, and was about to go to bed, when a new event came.
"D-level event: The Battle of Contradiction triggers..."
...
...
November 5th,
After four days of rest, the current 1-1 Warriors ushered in the challenge of the currently 2-1 Memphis Grizzlies at home.
After the tactical meeting and tactical training in the morning, they rested for three hours in the afternoon and started warming up at three o'clock.
After the warm-up was over, it was almost five o'clock, and Sun Ce watched the incident again before entering the arena.
"D-level event: The battle of contradictions: The strength of my spear can trap everything, and the strength of the enemy's shield can trap nothing. How about using the spear of the son to trap the enemy's shield? Event goal: The host needs to Help the Warriors score more than 100 points every 48 minutes. Event reward: Grizzlies player random offensive skill draw card 1. Failure penalty: Random D-level penalty event.”
In the past three seasons after Nelson coached the Warriors, regardless of the record, his scoring average was in the top two in the league. In recent years, either the Warriors or the Suns have ranked first in scoring per game.
It is not wrong to say that the Warriors are the best spear in the league. This season, the Warriors are currently second in points per game and will soon surpass the Suns. The Warriors play one game less than the Suns. In the third game against the Celtics, they only scored 89 points, which lowered the previous improvement of the Warriors' scoring average.
The defense of the Grizzlies' starting lineup, Sun Ce listened to the analysis of the coaching staff in the tactical meeting, and it was too bad! The defensive efficiency of their starting lineup ranks first in the league. In the first three games of this season, when the starting lineup played together, they only allowed opponents to score 91 points per 48 minutes, ranking first among all five-man teams in the league. one! It's even tougher than the Celtics' strongest defensive five who lost 93 points per 48 minutes and the Lakers' strongest defensive five who lost 94 points per 48 minutes!
Sun Ce calculated that the goal of the event was that he scored more than 100 points every 48 minutes on the court. If he played 16 minutes, that is, he needed to help the team score at least 34 points in these 16 minutes to count as scoring more than every 48 minutes. To more than 100 points!
If it is said that when Sun Ce played, the opponent sent several players in the rotation lineup, it was fine, but the opponent's substitute defense was slowing down. Their starting defensive combination consisting of Conley, Gay, and Gasol was really awesome. The three Conley, who has the weakest defense in the league, is a B+ defense. The current Mayo and Randolph are not the ones who are holding back.
Their bench lineup, Sun Ce, met in the preseason. Most of the defenses were poor, and most of them were players from the poor period of the Grizzlies...
But the problem is, Sun Ce is starting today!
Due to his good performance in the past two games, as long as his performance is not particularly bad, he will be the starter until Ellis comes back. When the Warriors lack the ability to score in singles, they need his passing to run and bomb to ensure the offense Efficiency, just like Baron Davis back then.
Then Sun Ce may not only play 15 to 20 minutes, but may play more than 24 minutes like the last game... The difficulty of the event is even greater!
And this reward... The Grizzlies, a defensive team, actually randomly obtained one of their offensive skills, what a mess!
In case Thabeet's offensive skills are drawn...
But what if Gasol's passing skills are drawn? That's great. High-post passing is a big weakness of Sun Ce. He is good at counter-attacking and breaking through, pick-and-roll breakthroughs, and fixed-point passing is not good.
It would be fine if there was no punishment for this incident like some previous incidents. Sun Ce can just play casually, the key is that there will be punishment!
I can only try it!
"The strongest defensive five... I really want to try how strong they are..."
Curry put on a green hair band, turned into Grassland Ku again, and called Sun Ce, who had been thinking, to enter the player tunnel together. The staff informed them that they were going to enter the game to prepare for the game.
Sun Ce followed his teammates into the player tunnel. After a long time, Curry wearing a green headband became more and more pleasing to the eye... That kind of playing style that is more and more floating, although it is easy to cause bad things because he is still a rookie, but never From the perspective of play style, it looks more and more like the Curry in Sun Ce's impression.
...
Ellis is not here, the starting five of the Warriors will play a few positions blindly, and the five players will go out first whoever they like to play first, and whoever they like will stay last.
The Warriors sent a starting lineup of Sun Ce, Curry, Morrow, Randolph, and Turiaf today.
Radmanovic performed poorly in the last game and was sent back to the bench.
On the Grizzlies side, Conley, Mayo, Gay, Randolph, and Gasol are still the starting lineup.
Sun Ce looked at the opponent's ability evaluation and felt a headache. It has been three consecutive games, and the opponents in the three games have S-level stars!
