One Thousand Five Hundred and Fifteen. Turtle Wants to Win MVP?

This is not to say that the two of them are not playing around anymore. Sun Ce still often hears them talking about girls together.

But the team is in a difficult time. Both of them are responsible players. After discovering that the team might be in danger in the training camp, they put all their energy into improving themselves and finding ways to help the team.

Klay Thompson is one of the core players in the team's long-term plan.

Although Paul George is not sure about his future, he wants to become a better player. Participating in these things is definitely an important part. After all, he is in the fourth year of his career.

After a day of preparation, Sun Ce did not feel or understand how targeted his team's coaching staff and teammates are about the Warriors in tactical meetings and training today.

Sun Ce cannot make a deeper analysis of the Warriors' current playing style because the Warriors' playing style has changed too much.

The big changes in the configuration of the outside players are the troubles encountered by the Warriors, and it is also the reason why opponents find it difficult to analyze the Warriors in depth from previous games.

The Warriors are adjusting in almost every game. The reason is simple. The record is not as good as last season, and there are always problems with offensive coordination.

After returning home and having dinner, Sun Ce practiced 1 set of top arc three-pointers, 1 set of right corner hooks, and 3 sets of three-pointers from 45 to 30 degrees on the right side.

After practice, Sun Ce analyzed the problems encountered in the past six games, and the situations that were different from what he expected at the beginning of the season.

As for the team, there are a lot of troubles and they need to take it slowly.

It's mainly about him personally.

Originally, he was ready to give up the right to shoot this year to give Paul George more opportunities.

However, Paul George seemed to be eager for this in the summer, but when the season started, he did not really fight for the right to shoot. Instead, he chose to improve his shooting efficiency and increase his passing and control.

Paul George averaged 11.3 shots per game this season, only two more than last season, with a 46% hit rate and 14.5 points, but 5.5 assists per game.

And he, Sun, has averaged 26 shots per game so far this season!

A 48% hit rate is good, but this situation was not expected by Sun Ce.

Moreover, he really has to rely on a lot of shots to raise the team's strength on the basis of the team's plummeting strength this season.

So far this season, there are only two players in the league who average 30+ points per game, and the other is Westbrook, whose ball possession rate and shooting rights soared during Durant's injury.

This season, Sun Ce felt the feeling of carrying the team on his shoulders completely. Last season, he had the help of two stars, Nash and Gasol, who was determined to defend his title and restrained himself from gaining weight.

This season, Sun Ce really felt the pressure he had never felt before.

…

After training, Sun Ce returned to the room to take a shower, and came to the living room to watch the game between the Thunder and the Bulls with Zu Ge.

The game was really good to watch, and Zu Ge kept chirping.

Moreover, the performances of both sides were brutal!

115 to 120, after an overtime, the Thunder lost to the Bulls.

Rose's 27 points and 14 assists, Griffin's 32 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists, Noah's 9 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, and Luol Deng's 14 points, 6 rebounds and 2 steals.

Overall, the Bulls won by the team.

On the Thunder side, Westbrook scored 38 points, 16 rebounds, 15 assists and 3 steals in regular time, plus 4 points in overtime. Westbrook played 49 minutes in the whole game, got 42 points, 18 rebounds, 15 assists and 3 steals,

becoming the second player this season to get at least two single-game 40+.

Moreover, this is Westbrook's second 40+ triple-double in the new season!

…

After the game, it was obviously the Bulls who won.

Rose and Griffin's pick-and-roll offense, Griffin's low-post singles, Noah and Griffin's high-low pass-cut cooperation... The Bulls played well in both team offense and individual offense.

But the headline was "Mini Lord 40+ triple-double regrets losing to the Bulls".

Among the active players, only Sun Ce has achieved two 40+ triple-doubles in a single season.

Since the new century, before this season, there have been 18 40+ triple-doubles in the regular season, including 4 times by James in 4 seasons, 2 times by Evans in two seasons, 1 time by McGrady, 1 time by Carter, and 10 times by Sun Ce.

Including this season, Sun Ce has 11 regular season 40+ triple-doubles.

After the start of the new season, Westbrook has only played 8 games and has 40+ triple-doubles twice!

And this season, Sun Ce has "only" 1 40+ triple-double so far!

Sun Ce's 40+ triple-doubles, 1 time in his rookie season, 2 times in his sophomore season, 4 times in his junior season, and 3 times last season.

In other words, Westbrook's efficiency in getting 40+ triple-doubles is higher than Sun Ce's when he leads the team alone!

It is very likely that Westbrook can break Sun Ce's record of 4 40+ triple-doubles in a single season for active players!

The Thunder's 4-4 record was completely ignored. After this game, some media began to hype Westbrook for the MVP!

……

……

"Russell is great. I think he is better than Durant. He can also be the scoring champion and the assist champion...averaging a triple-double is too exaggerated.

40+ triple-doubles? I don’t care about that. How many times did I get it? … I remember I got 11 in the regular season and 7 in the playoffs? It seems a bit too much. Well, it’s not important to me…”

Sun Ce ended the interview by avoiding the topic of MVP competition.

On the day of the game against the Warriors, Sun Ce arrived at the FedEx Center before 8 o’clock in the morning and was surrounded by reporters asking about Westbrook.

This time, Sun Ce understood why he was so hated in his sophomore and junior years.

Although he felt that what happened to Westbrook had nothing to do with him.

Even last night, when he saw Westbrook’s big triple-double, Sun Ce still thought Westbrook was very good.

But being questioned by reporters like this, and comparing him with Westbrook, Sun Ce felt unhappy. The emotion still came up.

Which player doesn't like to be praised? Who likes to be used as a stepping stone by the media when others play well?

Especially Sun Ce. What Westbrook did, except for averaging a triple-double, was almost all what Sun Ce had done before.

So, Sun Ce was naturally the one to be compared.

Patiently, Sun Ce devoted himself to preparing for tonight's game with the Warriors.

After preparing for the game with his teammates all morning, he rested in the afternoon to recuperate. The game with the Warriors would start at 8 pm.

At 4 pm, Sun Ce had just woken up and was about to get up to move around and eat something to warm up, when the system prompt came!
