One Thousand Six Hundred and Eight. The First Person's Voice!

The Pacers, who have played 66 games so far, have only won 4 games after the All-Star weekend, with a record of 4 wins and 9 losses! They have been overtaken by the Bulls!

There are currently 4 teams with 50 wins in the league.

The Spurs, who are first in the West, have 53 wins and 13 losses, the Lakers, who are second in the West, have 52 wins and 14 losses, the Bulls, who are first in the East, have 51 wins and 15 losses, and the Pacers, who are second in the East, have 50 wins and 16 losses.

Although Sun Ce knew that the Pacers might collapse after losing Granger, Sun Ce was surprised at the speed of collapse even if he knew it.

They played against the 76ers once before the All-Star weekend, and the opponent was too strong! They were truly the strongest team in the first half of the season, with stable offense and strong defense. Unless they are in poor condition, it is difficult for any team to beat them. The half-time record of 46 wins and 7 losses is the best evidence.

Hibbert almost locked in the best defensive player at the time.

But now, Hibbert has been given the title of "Gao Yuanyuan".

As a player, Sun Ce learned a lot of "inside stories" that he could not understand in his previous life. For example, Hibbert is really a thorn. Without Granger to suppress him, he, who was selected as an All-Star this year, often complained about not having the ball after the All-Star weekend. His willingness to grab rebounds and block positions was greatly reduced.

In fact, when Sun Ce discussed this matter with others in the original time and space, and read the news and forum posts by himself, he came to two conclusions. The first was that without Granger, no other players on the Pacers could suppress the thorn in the team; the second was that the Pacers entered the state too early.

Now as a player, Sun Ce feels that both are definitely true, but Granger's trade is definitely the key. It may have been too early to enter the state, and the players would have a proud mood in the second half of the season, which would lead to the possibility that some players' thorn attributes would explode. Without Granger, the potential contradictions in the team could not be suppressed at all. After the All-Star weekend, the Pacers won two consecutive games, but internal problems appeared from the third game.

In this situation of the Pacers, Sun Ce felt sorry for them even as a player and an opponent.

Because there is absolutely no need to make any changes. Even if Granger is in charge, there will still be some problems within the team, which will lead to status problems, but it will definitely not be so serious. Not to mention 70 wins, 60 wins will definitely not be less, and even 65 wins are possible.

How can it be like now, after a wave of 5 consecutive losses, it will be another wave of 4 consecutive losses.

This situation is really a pity for even the opponents.

Now it is a big question whether the Pacers can keep the second place!

The Eastern Conference is currently a mess. Most of the playoff teams may not be very strong, but the more so, the more chaotic the playoff situation is. Sun Ce cannot predict who the other five playoff teams in the East are except the Bulls, Pacers, and Heat. It is really possible that even teams like the 76ers and Raptors cannot enter the playoffs. 11 teams are competing for 8 playoff spots. It's a mess.

And many teams have to continue to fight. It's too late to say that they want to be bad now!

In the West, the situation is gradually becoming clear. The Spurs are firmly in first place, followed by the Lakers, and the Trail Blazers are trying their best to keep third place. The Grizzlies are shaky in fourth place, and the Warriors are coming on strong. The Thunder rushed to sixth place after the All-Star Weekend and gradually stabilized.

Behind them are the Mavericks, Pelicans, and Jazz, who are competing for seventh and eighth in the West. There is always one who will fall behind.

And the Timberwolves have gradually fallen behind.

This year's situation is different from previous years. Sun Ce is completely unable to control it and can only start from himself.

Since the three-pointer evaluation from the 30-degree angle of the right sideline to the bottom corner was upgraded to A+ in December, he has been working hard to practice the three-pointer from 45 degrees to 30 degrees on the right side.

This area has not been divided, but it cannot be practiced. After nearly half a season, it has gradually become accurate.

And the fastest improvement is the left-handed hook three-pointer in the left bottom corner, which has reached B+!

The crossover step is getting better and better, and there is room for further improvement in mid-range shooting.

But it will take intensive training in the summer to have a significant effect. At this stage, with the right-handed three-pointer as the foundation and the left-handed three-pointer practiced quickly, Sun Ce's main attack is still to improve himself to the all-round A+ level of shooting inside and outside the three-point line.

Although the overall ability evaluation is still A+, Sun Ce clearly feels that he is now at a huge change from the beginning of the season!

If the beginning of the season was at the middle level of the A+ level, now it is definitely infinitely close to the S-level!

The team is half dead, and Sun Ce can only find a point to comfort himself-taking advantage of the difficulties of this season, madly honing his skills, accumulating experience, and making obvious progress.

Indeed, after Randolph was reimbursed this season, Sun Ce used the skills he learned whenever he had the opportunity. Anyway, the team has no better way and is willing to train him in this way.

And he also relied on the fact that the team was built around him. Although his teammates, except for the double 3D and Yi Jianlian, were not as strong as his previous teammates, they were at least suitable for him, and he was stronger than in the past two years, and he played very well.

…

While Sun Ce was analyzing the upcoming schedule, the opponent's current situation, and his own current situation in the New Orleans sea breeze, major media were also making predictions and forward-looking summaries for the remaining 5 weeks of the regular season.

Regarding the current situation in the league, the so-called experts have similar analyses to Sun Ce, which are all very simple, and not as certain as Sun Ce. They are all possible, perhaps, and are still analyzing that the Pacers may turn the tide.

This aspect has not attracted much attention in this crazy March.

It was too crazy after the All-Star Weekend. The Lakers and Spurs were originally competing for the first place in the West, but they found themselves competing for the first place in the league, so they competed more vigorously.

The Bulls took advantage of the Pacers' collapse and rushed to the first place in the East without mercy.

There is chaos from 4th to 11th in the East. Originally, 4th to 12th places competed for 5 playoff positions. Now, the Pistons have fallen behind first, and there are 8 teams left to compete for 5 positions.

The Thunder's crazy impact on the ranking after the All-Star Weekend was expected by fans, but the Warriors had a period of pain after losing David Lee, but after the All-Star Weekend, they played 11 wins and 1 loss, which is crazy!

The performance of the two young teams of the Jazz and Pelicans was also amazing... so no one cared about how the experts analyzed the remaining 5 weeks of games.

However, when it comes to MVP and the No. 1 player in the league, this topic attracted the attention of fans.

After the All-Star Weekend, although the Grizzlies only had a record of 8 wins and 5 losses, which is definitely not bad, it is a level lower than the Lakers, Spurs, Bulls, and Trail Blazers, and is not as dominant as after the All-Star Weekend in the past few years.

However, Sun Ce personally played unparalleled dominance! And he convinced many passers-by and even black fans!

For 13 consecutive games, Sun Ce either scored 40+ or ​​a triple-double, and he never stopped playing!

So far, Sun Ce has scored 40+ 21 times and triple-doubles 32 times!

Evans, who ranked second in the 40+ games ranking, scored 40+ 8 times, Durant, who ranked third, scored 40+ 7 times, and Kobe, who ranked fourth, scored 40+ 6 times.

The total number of other players who scored more than 5 40+ points in a single game this season is the same as Sun Ce's 40+ times!

In terms of the triple-double list, Sun Ce's 32 times is 5 more than Westbrook who just got 27 triple-doubles!

The gap of 5 triple-doubles is terrible. The Grizzlies still have 17 games, and the Thunder have 18 games left. With less than 20 games, it is almost impossible to catch up!

So, when discussing the regular season MVP, the fans found that a terrible situation had occurred. In the case of the team's lack of dominance, Sun Ce had almost locked the regular season MVP more than a dozen games in advance!

Last year's regular season MVP was locked very early, also in early and mid-March, when James led the Heat to a 30-game winning streak.

However, compared with James, fans think that Sun Ce's almost universally recognized early lock of the MVP this season is more exaggerated!

Fans who don't want to see Sun Ce win the MVP again have found many reasons why Sun Ce shouldn't win the MVP, all of which were refuted by Sun Ce's fans and Grizzlies fans.

The players who have the hope of winning the MVP this year are James, Westbrook, Rose, Evans, Paul, and Sun Ce.

Paul, Rose, and James are basically runners-up.

James was the MVP last season, and this season he wants to win the MVP again, which requires a higher standard. With the current lineup, he is much more relaxed than the Heat, and he did not play so hard. He averaged 24 points, 7.5 rebounds, 11.5 assists, 1.8 steals, and 0.9 blocks per game. Although the record is good, it is not enough to compete for the MVP.

As for Rose, the record cannot form a dominant force like the Lakers and Spurs. Now he has to continue to fight and continue to work hard to keep the first place in the Eastern Conference, which is like a blessing from heaven.

Paul has always been the runner-up.

On the contrary, Westbrook and Evans, whose records are not so good, have a greater chance of winning the MVP.

As for Evans, his team performance this year is really amazing! Iguodala, Howard, and Holiday are all gone; Jason Richardson is out, Nick Young is hugging Kobe Bryant, and Louis Williams thinks the team is going to be finished because Howard is gone... Under such circumstances, Evans managed to hold the team up.

However, no matter how well Evans performs or how good his statistics are, he is still suppressed by Sun Ce!

The Grizzlies have a better record, Sun Ce has better statistics, and Evans has no chance.

Westbrook was once the top favorite for MVP at the beginning of the season, but now Sun Ce has done what Westbrook did.

Another point is that Sun Ce may be able to win the scoring title and the blocked shot title at the same time again!

Sun Ce's performance this season is the best among all players this season! So his fans and Grizzlies fans have plenty of arguments to refute the doubts of black fans.

Now Sun Ce's fans are very arrogant, and they don't discuss the regular season MVP this season. What they are talking about is-can the little overlord become the first player in the league this year?

And the topic of who is the first player in the league has caused the most intense debate.

Kobe's fans all admit that James is stronger now, and it is very obvious that they are on the same team.

Therefore, Kobe fans and James fans all support James as the best player in the league.

In the new era, it is not just Sun Ce's world, but also fans of Curry, Evans, Durant, and Rose want to join in the fun, and even some Westbrook fans are very upset and want to compete with Sun Ce fans for everything...

Of course, there are calm fans, Sun Ce's calm fans, who are even happier to see this kind of debate!

It is not easy to make everyone recognize that Sun Ce is the best player in the league, just like Jordan is the best player in history. Anyway, it is impossible now.

However, we are not afraid of controversy, but we are afraid of no movement!

Controversy means that many people already regard Sun Ce as the best player in the league!

What is a fan? It means entrusting a player with what they cannot do. When Sun Ce is called the best player in the league, Sun Ce's fans are also proud of it!

The best player needs recognition from others to be the best player, and the recognition from fans is the most important. Nothing is more important than the recognition from parents who feed and clothe them.

…

…

Regarding the call for the best player in the league, Sun Ce has heard about it after he scored 40+ or ​​a triple-double in ten consecutive games.

This is actually pressure for him, the kind of pressure that is greater than motivation.

The change this season came too suddenly. Last year, he established his superstar status, and this season he directly jumped to compete for the best player in the league. This step is so big that it almost pulled his crotch.

On March 17, the day of the game against the Pelicans, when Sun Ce got up in the morning to eat breakfast and check the news on his mobile phone, he saw that the media had started to encourage fans to speculate on who is the No. 1 player in the league.

Although the pressure was great, Sun Ce was still very excited.

Just because he didn't think about it at the beginning doesn't mean he doesn't want to think about it now. After Sun Ce won the MVP for the first time, he wanted to be the champion MVP. After winning the championship MVP for the first time, he wanted to be the No. 1 player.

But he didn't expect the competition for the No. 1 player to come so quickly.

It took 10 years for Kobe to be the No. 1 player, and it took 7 years for James to be the No. 1 player. And he, Sun, has reached this point in his fifth season...

"Let's beat the two No. 1 picks to calm down!"

Sun Ce tried not to think about this, but he had to find something to divert his attention.

In the game against the Pelicans tonight, facing the No. 1 pick combination of Irving and Anthony Davis, who were evaluated by the system as "the successors of the snake and wolf", there is a high probability that an event will be triggered.

The key is that the Pelicans are now at the critical moment of the playoffs, and the urgency to win every game is even greater for the Pelicans than for the Grizzlies! This opponent is not easy to deal with!

…

After a day of preparation, at 6:40 in the evening, Sun Ce and his teammates entered the court together. The last game of this four-game road trip is about to begin.

At the end of the intense season, the Pelicans just went to Orlando to win an away game yesterday and just returned to New Orleans this morning.

Although the schedule is not as tight as the Grizzlies, the Pelicans only have one less game than the Grizzlies in March. In order to compete with the NCAA for ratings, the league will always arrange more schedules for many teams this month, and the Grizzlies, Lakers, Mavericks and other teams will also have the role of pulling the Chinese market.

In such a tight schedule, Irving and Anthony Davis, who are good friends with Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, and Paul George in private, did not meet during the day today, and only met before the game.

The Pelicans defeated the Magic in the first back-to-back game last night. Their current record has improved to 37 wins and 30 losses, and they continue to have the chance to compete for the top eight in the West.

After the All-Star Weekend, the Pelicans' performance has improved significantly compared to the mid-season. Sun Ce feels that this is talent. Irving's ability to lead the team is not good, but he is definitely a player with strong pressure resistance. Anthony Davis is a talent explosion.

If it weren't for such talent, this pair of No. 1 picks would not be compared with the Warriors' Splash combination.

After the All-Star Weekend, the Pelicans played a record of 9 wins and 4 losses, and their winning rate is slightly higher than their 9 wins and 5 losses Grizzlies. This is what Sun Ce is afraid of.

Their Grizzlies' March this year is probably the worst record in March in five years.

However, their advantage tonight is that the Pelicans played 10 games in the first 16 days of this month, one more game than the Grizzlies in the first 16 days of this month, and the opponent is the second game of a back-to-back!

There is no such thing as an unfair victory. Have those teams that beat the Grizzlies in the second back-to-back game of their Grizzlies or even the second back-to-back game of the second game of the four-game series in five days ever thought that it was an unfair victory? It is the kingly way to kill him while he is sick!

When greeting each other before the game, Irving and Anthony Davis looked at Sun Ce, who was still in high spirits and looked like he was going to do something big in the last game of the four-game road trip. Millions of alpacas ran through their hearts.

In the past wave of 9 wins and 4 losses, the No. 1 draft brothers have tried their best. They are about to have two days of rest and then play a relatively easy schedule of 12 days and 5 games from the 20th to the 31st. As a result, they met this guy!

Irving has been beaten for more than two years, almost three years, and Anthony Davis has also been beaten by Sun Ce for more than one year, almost two years. How can they not know what Sun Ce is thinking?

Sima Zhao's intentions are known to everyone!

Facing this contemporary superstar who is increasingly popular as the No. 1 player in the league, Irving and Anthony Davis want to struggle!

But... after the game started, facing Sun Ce, who was also excited by the double 3D combination who were about to have a two-day break, the double champion combination was difficult to compete with in the second back-to-back game!

Moreover, before the game started, as expected by Sun Ce, the "S-level event Bully Phase 3 Snake Wolf Successor 2" was triggered. Taking advantage of the fact that the opponent's top pick duo, who were known as Kobe Bryant and Garnett, were not in good physical condition, Sun Ce fought hard on both offense and defense!

Sun Ce was afraid of Ryan Anderson, Morrow and Babbitt's three-point bombing, but the Pelicans failed to ignite the fuse tonight, and the overall performance was average.

On the Grizzlies side, the performance of other players was actually average, but if they were all average, the Grizzlies would still have a strength advantage against the Pelicans who were still struggling on the edge of the playoffs. With Sun Ce playing desperately, the Grizzlies only encountered some trouble in the first quarter and the first half of the second quarter. In the third quarter, Sun Ce, Klay Thompson and Hardaway Jr. bombed away the game!

Sun Ce played for 36 minutes, 15 of 28 shots, including 5 of 12 three-pointers, plus 7 of 7 free throws, and scored 42 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 blocks, which was a signature 4 times 5 data, helping the Grizzlies beat the Pelicans 112 to 99!
