One Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty-Seven. In the Name of the Father

There is no way. In terms of market potential, Portland is definitely one of the most promising markets in the NBA. It is considered a super wealthy city in the United States, and fans are very enthusiastic about sports events.

Of course, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and other markets that have been very successful for a long time are definitely not considered "potential markets".

Starting from the 10-11 season, the Grizzlies' glorious moment of having at least three All-Star players for three consecutive years was interrupted.

But this is normal. When the Lakers won two consecutive championships, only Kobe and Gasol were selected for the All-Star Game.

Klay Thompson has a very calm mentality, just like he promoted more hard with 4 million US dollars in endorsement fees than Sun Ce did with 40 million US dollars. If he gets in, he gets in. If he doesn't, he doesn't get in. He is very Buddhist...

Moreover, Duncan didn't make the All-Star Game, and Klay Thompson suddenly felt that he was not miserable.

As for the Spurs, there was no All-Star player this year. This year's Spurs is too team-oriented. Gay's average points per game actually fell below 20! His playing time was reduced to 29 minutes! Moreover, the Spurs played 53 games, but Gay played only 43 games. He was not injured or sick, had little playing time, and was rested for 10 games.

Gay, Parker, and Duncan are three players on the Spurs who average 15+ points per game. Ginobili, Belinelli, and George Hill are six players on the Spurs who average double digits, and Danny Green and Mills are two players who average 9 points per game!

Rest + stars reduce playing time. If Split, who averages 8 points and 8 rebounds per game, is added, the Spurs have 10 players who average more than 8 points per game!

In this case, although the Spurs have several players who are as efficient as All-Star players, no one has been selected as an All-Star substitute by the coaches of each team.

However, according to sources, when the All-Star substitute lineup was announced, there was a hearty laugh from the office of the Spurs president and head coach, which could not be stopped for a long time...

...

The All-Star Weekend is about to begin, and the last three days of the first half of this season have been scheduled for hot battles every day.

The game between the Grizzlies and the Wizards tonight is just a side dish, and an unexpected side dish. Who knew that Wall and Waiters could lead the team into the playoffs?

The main dish prepared by the league tonight is the Lakers vs. Spurs battle!

The Lakers and Spurs have played 52 games so far. The Spurs are ranked first in the West with 43 wins and 9 losses, and the Lakers are ranked second in the West with 42 wins and 10 losses.

Theoretically, both the Spurs and the Pacers still have a chance to break 72 wins.

But not many people care about this point. The bigger point of this game is that this game may become a game that determines the champion of the Western Conference halfway!

Before the All-Star Weekend, both teams have two more games. Before the All-Star Weekend this season, most teams have to play 54 games. It is rare for the Grizzlies to play only 52 games in the halfway.

And the two teams' game on the 13th, their opponents are both weak teams. The Lakers 23+24 and the Spurs' three horses will probably rest on that day.

The Lakers and the Spurs played against each other for the third time this season. The game was indeed fierce. The Spurs led the Lakers 102-99 in regular time, but in the last 3.3 seconds, Kobe received the ball from James and dribbled two steps to the top arc, turned around and hit a three-pointer from the top arc to face Gay, dragging the game into overtime!

In overtime, James performed strongly. Taking advantage of the fact that the defensive combination of Duncan and Gay was less effective due to physical problems, James scored 6 points in a row, and passed an assist to Blake and Kobe respectively, playing a score of 10-6, and defeated the Spurs 112-108.

The Lakers also relied on the mutual confrontation situation of 2 wins and 1 loss in 3 encounters. With a record of 43 wins and 10 losses, they overtook the Spurs and once again ranked first in the West!

This wonderful battle made Wall face Sun Ce and get 22 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists to lead the Wizards to beat the Grizzlies 110-95, but not many people paid attention.

Wall is miserable too. He played so well this season and was selected as an All-Star starter, beating Wade.

But whenever he plays brilliantly, someone steals the spotlight.

Wall scored 25 points and 20 assists against the Knicks. That night, Sun Ce scored 70 points in three quarters.

Wall scored 14 points, 17 assists and 9 steals against the Hawks, helping the Wizards beat the Hawks 131-130 in double overtime. That night, James scored 62 points against the Raptors.

Wall scored a triple-double of 13 points, 14 rebounds and 14 assists against the 76ers, leading the Wizards to beat the 76ers led by Evans. That night, Westbrook had a big triple-double + Durant scored 50+ in a single game for the second time in his career...

Every time Wall played well, there was no headline, because other superstars played better.

It was the same tonight. Wall played against Sun Ce twice in a year and was abused in most cases. This time, he finally got tough and defeated the Grizzlies led by Sun Ce, who scored 27 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, by 5 points, and got his fifth triple-double in his career. As a result, after the game, everyone was talking about Duncan's 30 points and 10 rebounds, James' 29 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists, and Kobe's 40 points and 0 assists...

...

...

After losing to the Wizards, the Grizzlies' record became 35 wins and 16 losses.

In this game, Coach Hollins saw that the situation was not good in the first half, so he let the double 3D, Yi Jianlian, and Livingston rest, and the others fought hard. If they won, they won, and if they lost, they had no choice.

The opponent they wanted to ensure the advantage in the match was not the Wizards, but the next opponent, the Thunder.

The Wizards have been in great shape recently, especially Ariza. Ariza has averaged 2.6 three-pointers per game so far this season, as many as Harden! The last few games have been even more remarkable. In these games since February, they have averaged 3.5 three-pointers per game and are in an explosive stage.

If Tie Zha is not used as the core, he is really not iron. He is a 3D player who is good at catching three-pointers, sharp in cuts, strong in defense and has a quasi-second defense level.

There's only so much he can do, and you can't ask him to do more, but give him the right tasks and he can fulfill expectations.

This game has little impact on the Grizzlies as a whole. They cannot surpass the 38-15 Trail Blazers, and they will not be caught up by the 34-18 Mavericks and Jazz. In the first half of the game, the Grizzlies It has been determined that they will start the second half of the season as fourth in the Western Conference.

So when trailing 39 to 55 at halftime, coach Hollins took breaks to prepare for the next more important opponent.

But something went wrong on Sun Ce's side...

In another game that night, the Thunder defeated the Bucks 104-88. Westbrook scored 18 points, 16 rebounds, 14 assists and 4 steals, getting his 23rd triple-double of the season... This is not important, the important thing is , Durant scored 47 points, played 30 games this season, averaging 32.9 points per game! He surpassed Sun Xin's average of 32.7 points per game and topped the scoring list!

As long as he can meet the minimum number of appearances for the scoring champion, Durant has played more than 20 fewer games than Sun Ce, making it easier to increase his points per game! For example, if Sun Ce scores 47 points, his scoring average will increase by 0.3 points per game, while Durant can increase his scoring average by 0.5 points!

…

…

I had just watched the exciting Lake-horse game. Not long after, the media released the latest score list, and Durant topped the list!

The fans were so happy that the half-way finale on the 13th was worth watching again!

Moreover, tomorrow, the 12th, there will be a battle between the Bulls and the 76ers, Rose VS Evans, Griffin VS Gasol!

These three days have been wonderful for American sports fans who have just finished the NFL Super Bowl and feel empty after having fun. Needless to say, fans who only like basketball.

As for Chinese fans, the Spring Festival holiday has just ended and they have returned to work. After playing for a week, it is extremely difficult to go to work. NBA games have become a comfort thing for basketball fans. Having three games like this is naturally very wonderful for the fans. They all hid their phones in blind spots and peeked at them.

The battle for the triple-double king between Sun Ce and Westbrook, which was originally very interesting, is now even more interesting. Durant surpassed Sun Ce to top the scoring list. The next game between the two teams before the All-Star Weekend, Will Sun Ce overtake again?

Can Durant solidify his position as the scoring champion?

There are so many things to watch in this game!

…

The fans were very happy, and Sun Ce was looking at the triggered event... feeling sad...

The Thunder's home game against the Bucks started two hours later than the Grizzlies' game against the Wizards. Sun Ce had just returned home after losing and was playing instruments with Lily Collins.

Sun Ce asked Lily Collins why she kept playing instruments these days. Apparently her relatives were not here. Lily Collins had just told something that made Sun Ce ecstatic and sad. The system prompt came just in time, which happened to be Durant’s average points per game. The moment to overtake his grandson!

"Because the host has given birth to a second child with his girlfriend Lily Collins, the special event: In the Name of the Father is triggered."

"In the name of the Father(*):

Goal 1: The hosts need to return to the top of the scoring list after the next game against the Thunder.

Goal 2: The host needs to help the team win the next game against the Thunder.

Goal 3: After completing the first two goals, make the decision you want to make before Valentine’s Day.

Event reward: The physical fitness of the host's eldest son Sun Quan and the host's unborn child has been greatly improved, and they have the healthiest bodies.

Failure penalty: 1. In the next game against the Thunder, how many points away will the host return to the top of the scoring list, and how many games will it fall into an extremely sluggish state; 2. A star experience card will be deducted randomly. "

Sun Ce hugged Lily Collins and stroked Lily Collins' belly... This belly is really powerful! But why is the reward given to that boy Gohan?

Since Zu Ge, Lily Collins, and his parents all favored little Gohan, Sun Ce was already jealous, and now he was even jealous of the learning machine.

Moreover, the difficulty of the event... is not small!

The opponent is Durant! The player with the most stable scoring ability in the league today!

And with Westbrook, the triple-double king, doing everything on the offensive end, Durant is only responsible for catching and shooting... The key is that Durant defends him very well!

When he plays against the Thunder, he usually scores a big triple-double when he breaks out. He rarely scores high scores because Durant defends him well.

…

"When did you get pregnant? Why didn't you tell me earlier? No wonder you said that relatives were coming after stripping you naked. I still wonder why relatives are coming every day."

Lily Collins already knew what relatives meant. She buried her head in Sun Ce's arms and replied: "I felt something was wrong last week. It has been 40 days since the last time relatives came and they haven't come yet. I had a premonition, but also Not sure, your parents want us to have another child so much, what should I do to make them happy? I went out to buy early pregnancy papers at noon today..."

"I hope it's a daughter this time!"

"Why? Parents prefer sons!"

"Daughters are so good! Sons are just a loss! You don't know that we can't afford to raise sons in China. The betrothal gift is at least hundreds of thousands!"

"..."

Lily Collins looked at Sun Ce and seemed to feel bad about paying the betrothal gift to Little Gohan. Suddenly, she didn't know what to say...

...

...

After discussing with Lily Collins, she decided not to tell her parents for the time being and wait until she went to the hospital for a check-up.

Although the learning machine also gave a prompt, Sun Ce didn't know whether it was because Lily Collins said she was pregnant or not. It was better to confirm it.

Lily Collins didn't doubt it. She went to the hospital to confirm it and communicated with doctors and professional nursing staff. This was what she was going to do next.

Valentine's Day was coming soon, and Little Gohan's birthday was coming. Sun Ce originally wanted to do something.

But now Lily Collins was pregnant again, and told him at this time. Sun Ce felt that it seemed that he was "forced" to make such a decision because Lily Collins was pregnant again.

So, that thing really happened after the game with the Thunder!

Regardless of whether this event can be completed, first of all, we have to win the game, and then do it after winning the game.

Of course, although I am a little jealous, Sun Ce really wants to complete that event!

Even if it is not for the sake of little Gohan, it must be for the sake of his daughter... If it is not his daughter, Sun Ce will have to go to Los Angeles and ask for advice from a certain player No. 24 who does not want to be named because he has not been injured and has given birth to a fourth child earlier than he remembered and confirmed that it is a daughter again.

Nothing happened overnight. On the morning of the 12th, Sun Ce got up early as usual and trained from 4 to 6. After triggering the "persistence at 4 am", he rested for a while, had breakfast, and went to the gym for training.

The teammates also came early.

When playing against the Wizards, it seemed a little slack, but when playing against the Thunder, it was the last game of the half-season, and everyone was excited.

Who doesn't want to beat the opponent in the last game before the break, and beat a strong enemy, and have a perfect start to the holiday?

The Grizzlies' tactical meeting and tactical training in the morning were mainly about defensive adjustments.

On the offensive end, the Grizzlies are not afraid of anyone this season. Even if Stoudemire is injured, they have enough scorers. Although they never thought they could average 110 points per game before, including Sun Ce, they didn't expect that their team could average 110 points per game before the league became a three-point league, because this is already the highest average score in the league, but things are like this, always developing in unexpected directions.

The key is that Tony Allen is injured, and Tony Allen is the best player on their Grizzlies to defend Durant, so they have to plan how to defend Durant.

They tried their best, but whether they can defend it depends on their defensive performance and the opponent's defensive performance.

During lunch, Sun Ce called several old teammates including Paul George, Klay Thompson, and Yi Jianlian together. Just as they were about to say something, Paul George spoke first: "Brother San, I will try my best to help you return to the top of the scoring list tomorrow!"

The others nodded in response.

Sun Ce didn't need to say anything. Seeing Sun Ce's abnormal behavior, several old teammates knew what Sun Ce wanted to do.

With Sun Ce's character, would he accept being overtaken by others after leading for half a season?

He must fight back!

...

At 7 pm on the 12th, in the game between the Bulls and the 76ers, the match between Rose and Evans was not as good as expected. Evans relied on his body advantage to defend Rose well, but Evans also played poorly when he encountered the defense of Luol Deng and Noah.

On the contrary, the match between Griffin and Gasol was very colorful. Gasol played Noah like playing, showing the strength of the first center in the East; Griffin's skills are getting better and better, and he is making better use of his body, and he also played well.

In the end, the Bulls defeated the Bulls 98 to 91 with their overall strength advantage.

Evans and Rose performed poorly on the offensive end. Fans can find the reason. The opponent does have players who can defend them.

This game did not make the fans feel very satisfied, but the next game between the Grizzlies and the Thunder was different. The performance of the Duwe duo was getting better and better. Ibaka, who had not yet experienced a serious injury, was the hot favorite for the best defensive player in the minds of the current fans. This trio was strong enough!

As for the Grizzlies, unless they were in a slump or committed suicide, they could still rev up their offense against a defensive team like the Lakers.

Fans felt that they would not be disappointed when these two teams played against each other.

…

It was February 13, the last game day before the All-Star Weekend. Yesterday, most teams had already finished the first half of the season. There were a total of 7 games today. The most watched game was the Grizzlies' home game against the Thunder.

Early this morning, Yao Ming brought his wife and daughter to Sun Ce's house. Some of his older national team teammates who won the World Championships together in 2010 and the Olympic bronze medal together in 2012 also came. The active players of the CBA could not come because the CBA winter break had passed.

Tomorrow is the day for Little Gohan to celebrate his first birthday. Sun Ce's mother has booked a villa hotel near their villa area to entertain guests. Some of the active players invited will not come until tomorrow. There are also active players such as Irving, Anthony Davis, Paul, Anthony, Bosh, Nowitzki, etc. who finished the game yesterday and will arrive in Memphis today.

And Yao Ming and other national team teammates came early.

Sun Ce thanked these teammates for coming, and then apologized for not being able to accompany them. Tonight's game is very important!

Especially seeing these old teammates, Sun Ce feels that he must win tonight! Otherwise, it's really a shame that the team provided him with so many tickets!
