One Thousand Four Hundred and Eighty-One. The Last Ring
On the contrary, the fans were very excited. This is a familiar taste and a familiar feeling!
However, Coach Hollins still has to consider the fans' viewing experience. In the second half of the third quarter, he sent out Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Richard Jefferson, and Yi Jianlian to play a run-and-gun game!
The Mavericks also replaced Conley, Carter, Marion, Bosh, and Blair to play offense in a timely manner.
The current lineup is the most aggressive lineup in the Grizzlies' main lineup.
The double 3D does not have the problem of being arrogant. There may be some, such as the two now look down on most of the players of the same generation, but they still play hard.
After Klay Thompson signed with Bill Duffy, he has begun to discuss the renewal issue.
Sun Ce meant to ask for a maximum salary, which scared Klay Thompson.
But after feeling the strong trust from Sun Ce, who was promoted to the second brother, Klay Thompson decided to pursue a maximum salary and play hard.
Although Sun Ce cannot suppress the pride of his teammates after winning two consecutive championships, that is part of self-confidence and cannot be suppressed, but he can find ways to create goals for his teammates.
Randolph and Gasol, who have played for more than 10 years... Gasol has played in Europe for more than 10 years. Sun Ce cannot fool these two people in this regard. Both of them are players with retired jerseys of the Grizzlies, and they can only adjust themselves.
But Klay Thompson can still be fooled. Paul George needs to work hard and make progress this season, and strive to get the maximum salary next summer. There is no problem with this.
Richard Jefferson certainly has to work hard, he came for the championship.
There is no need to worry about Yi Jianlian's self-discipline. Sun Ce is not as good as the most self-disciplined player in the team. Moreover, Yi Jianlian played very happily when he returned to his homeland to play, and he also made two three-pointers with Bosh.
After a beautiful offensive battle, the two teams still have to fight in the end, but they are not pure main players.
The Grizzlies played the last quarter with Beverley, Hardaway Jr., Paul George, Randolph, and Larry Sanders.
The Mavericks played the last quarter with Calderon, Wayne Ellington, Carter, Bosh, and Dalembert.
Carter looked at Paul George, the core of the opposing lineup, and he was full of McGrady's shadow.
Unlike others, Carter plays basketball, which may be the purest love. He is about to turn 37, and his condition is better than last year.
Sun Ce was very surprised to see Carter's B+ starting level. Even if he knew that Carter was in good condition, he didn't expect it to be so good.
Seeing Carter receive Calderon's pass in the counterattack, Carter's head almost flattened due to no confrontation... Sun Ce was speechless...
In the end, relying on defense and running and gunning in the second and third quarters, the Grizzlies defeated the Mavericks 107-97 and won their first preseason victory.
…
On the 14th, the Grizzlies and the Mavericks came to Shanghai for a day of business activities, and then at 8 pm, the second game of the China game started.
In the first game, the head coaches of both teams found problems in their teams and made adjustments.
Winning or losing in the preseason is not important, the purpose is to find problems and solve them. If they can't solve them, they will find ways to circumvent them. If they can't circumvent them... there are always problems that can't be avoided. If all teams have ways to solve all problems, then it's no different from not solving them.
Since the Grizzlies don't have a training camp contract, they have a clear advantage in the game. Even if there are many adjustment errors in the game, they still won easily, 98 to 91 against the Mavericks to win two consecutive preseason victories.
On the 15th, the China game ended, and the Grizzlies had a day off. On the 16th, they went to the capital to transfer back to Memphis.
That day, Sun Ce didn't go out to play. There were three places in China where he couldn't travel normally. One was Chongqing. Not only was there a lot of people there, but he couldn't find the way. He got more and more lost following the navigation.
The other two are Shanghai and Beijing, two international metropolises in China. After he insisted on dragging Yi Jianlian out to walk on the road and caused a traffic jam during the China Games last year, government officials talked to him...
When Sun Ce was browsing his phone, he saw two very interesting news. The first one was that Garnett and Anthony had an argument in the preseason game.
Sun Ce didn't know what the Nets were thinking. They signed Anthony and took Garnett back. In order to have more "superstar" players, the Nets even ignored the most basic thing - unity.
Last year, Anthony, who was still in Houston, almost fought with Garnett in the away game against the Celtics. It is said that Anthony went to the parking lot to block people after the game, and Garnett did not leave the parking lot and escaped.
Sun Ce checked and found that the head coach of the Nets is Avery Johnson, the former head coach of the Mavericks in the 67-win season...
Deron + Anthony + Joe Johnson + Lopez, there are four players with excellent singles in the starting lineup. Sun Ce thinks that the Nets management has no problem with the coach based on the characteristics of the players. Maybe Garnett was brought back to play pick-and-roll with Deron, which is a good starting point.
But Sun Ce thinks that the Nets would be better off with Boozer, who is more suitable.
In the final analysis, Sun Ce is still unwilling to let Boozer be taken away by the Lakers.
Another news is that the Mavericks have brought back another point guard. Sun Ce sees that the Mavericks point guards can directly form a five-man team. They traded the short shooting guard Jared Cunningham selected last season from the Hawks to get Sean Larkin, who was selected 17th overall this year.
Not knowing what trick Carlisle will come up with, Sun Ce remembered the playoffs in the original time and space this season. The Mavericks had a shabby lineup, but they actually played the Spurs to a seventh game! They didn't have Bosh at that time!
Even if the combination of Bosh + Nowitzki is not very good, the two of them can take turns. With Nowitzki's willingness to sacrifice, it is possible that he will choose to play as a substitute.
If there is a choice, Sun Ce really doesn't want to play against the Mavericks in the playoffs.
…
…
At 5 a.m. on October 17th, Eastern Time, Sun Ce and his teammates returned to Memphis.
Sun Ce went home to make up for his sleep, and heard good news when he woke up!
After struggling for half a month, Stoudemire finally rejected the invitations of the Heat, Bulls, and Nets, and joined the Grizzlies with a veteran minimum salary of 1.5 million US dollars a year!
After receiving a call from Chris Wallace, Sun Ce ignored the fatigue of the jet lag and asked Chris Wallace about it.
It turns out that after seeing the internal conflicts in the Nets, Stoudemire took the initiative to contact Chris Wallace, discussed in detail the problems in the team atmosphere, and finally chose to join.
And he did not ask for a part of the middle class, but for a basic salary.
Stoudemire will get more than 41 million US dollars from the Knicks in the next two years, and he doesn't care about that little money!
