With 19 wins and 8 losses, the Grizzlies' record returned to the early 70s again.

Sun Ce and others were surprised to have a record of 5 wins and 1 loss in the past 6 games.

Generally speaking, compared to most other teams, their schedule in November and December before the Christmas game is very easy, so they can get through this difficult time relatively smoothly.

During this period, what is difficult is not the schedule, but the impact of injuries and physical strength.

But now, the real difficulty has just arrived!

In the next three games in December, we will first go to Dallas to play the Mavericks, then return home to play the Warriors, and then go to Houston to play a game.

The last one was okay, the first two were tough battles!

The morning after the Christmas game, Sun Ce set out for Dallas with his teammates.

At 12 noon, the NBA officially announced that voting for the All-Star Game has begun!

Sun Ce watched the news. This time his vote was moved to the front court by the alliance...

Obviously, it is to make room for the Western Conference defender.

Curry and Harden, Irving, Westbrook...the league wants to see a new All-Star starting guard emerge in the West.

Kobe's form continues very well, but after all, in the 18th year of his career, it is the end of his career and he has to find a successor.

This is expected. There have been rumors before. For example, a columnist on the NBA official website said that Sun Ce should not be placed at the guard... Sun Ce doesn't care about this. He can't lose his starting position in the frontcourt. On the contrary, the other frontcourts in the Western Conference will be miserable. Sun and James will definitely occupy the two starting frontcourt positions.

What we need to pay attention to now is the next 4 games. Randolph is still unable to play. He did not come out with the team to play away games, but stayed in Memphis to continue losing weight. The next time he can play in a game is on January 4th. The second game of back-to-back games against the Nuggets is the third of a series of consecutive away games. I don’t think I will play. I may not play until January 6, the last game of four consecutive away games against the Pistons. It will be January 8. Prepare for the game against the Spurs.

Sun Ce arrived at the hotel and studied the schedule for January. In fact, there were only 14 games in January. Compared with last season's schedule, the three games in January were actually divided into November and December. February and The schedule in March and April is the same as last season, with 12 games in February, a crazy 17 games in March, and 9 games in April. The more difficult months are February and March.

Sun Ce feels that the league arranges the schedule this way because it is afraid that too many games in January will lead to too many injuries.

Therefore, Sun Ce feels that what is difficult in January is not the schedule, but the mentality!

After Christmas, Sun Ce clearly felt that his teammates relaxed a lot. It was not like last season when his teammates didn't want to play hard after Christmas, but they really relaxed!

This situation... has both good and bad aspects. He can only take it one game at a time. Sun Ce feels that he will eventually get through it.

After all, it was their first time encountering such a situation.

The game has to be played one by one, and Sun Ce focuses on Durant, who has just returned.

There is one thing that Sun Ce has thought about but still feels pain in his balls - after Durant came back, Westbrook drastically reduced his shots and passed the ball to Durant crazily, which quickly helped Durant find his shooting feeling!

In these two games back, Durant averaged 33 points per game!

This guy will definitely hit the scoring title after his comeback!

Although he missed 28 games, Durant still has a chance to win the scoring title. To win the scoring title, he needs to play at least 60 games or score more than 1,200 points. If Durant keeps his scoring average at this point, he will definitely exceed 1,200 points. point.

If his grandson hadn't relied on that 70+ in a single game, he might have been tied by Durant, who just returned, in terms of points per game!

And Durant now has a very good opportunity to compete for the scoring title!

Westbrook's previous 28 games,

He took more than one shot, averaging 27.5 points per game on 22 shots per game. But in the two games after Durant came back, Westbrook took 13 shots in one game and 12 in the other, constantly feeding Durant. Westbrook scored more than ten points in both games. Obviously, he didn't care how many points he scored, as long as he could reach double figures.

Sun Ce feels that these two people are actually the most suitable teammates. One is sticky and the other is strong in catching and shooting. Regardless of whether the latter likes to be a pure shooter or not, they really fit in well. The former has good physical strength, while the latter needs to play slowly. .

Looking at Durant, Westbrook, Ibaka...and Harden, Sun Ce feels that the Thunder management's draft draft seems to have opened their eyes.

Sun Ce wants to compete with Westbrook for triple-doubles, and with Durant for the scoring title. The two major opponents are a player who averages a triple-double per game and a favorite for the scoring title. These two are actually on the same team!

…

…

After the Christmas game, we have entered the middle of the season, which means that the "observation period" of each team in the early season has passed. Some teams that want to make adjustments in the middle of the season have begun to take action.

For example, the Grizzlies management has begun to test the ideas of some teams.

In the nearly two months before the season, some players in the league have changed. Some players who used to play poorly have made great progress this year; some talented players have improved as expected; some players who used to be very good have experienced an avalanche this year; some players who are regarded as talented have not improved...

The survival of the fittest is also the rule of survival in the NBA. Some teams are ready to give up some players. Maybe this season or the next one or two seasons, many players in the league this season will be updated. After all, there are 60 rookies joining every year. Even if only 80% get formal contracts, there will be 40 to 50 old players moving every year.

Very cruel!

On the morning of December 27, Sun Ce and his teammates came to the American Airlines Center in Dallas to prepare for the game.

As soon as the pre-match meeting ended, Sun Ce saw a piece of news-the Warriors and the Celtics reached a deal!

The Warriors sent David Lee and rookie Dwayne Diamond, and got Gerald Wallace's garbage contract and second-year inside swingman Jared Sullinger from the Celtics!

This deal came very suddenly, and it surprised the media and fans!

After Iguodala joined, the Warriors' record was worse than last season. Although this caused the Warriors to receive a lot of criticism, not many people blamed David Lee for this. David Lee has played 24 games and missed 4 games. He averaged 18.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and his performance is still outstanding.

As an inside player, the cooperation with the outside players is not good, which is definitely not his fault. The inside players are passive in cooperation, so this should be blamed on the outside players.

But David Lee was sold off!
