One Thousand Eight Hundred and Sixty-Two. The Rational Little Bully Is the Most Deadly!

"Strong Dragon (A):

Goal 1: The host must have more assists than Goran Dragic in the next away game against the Knicks.

Goal 2: The host must rebound more than Dwight Howard in the next away game against the Knicks.

Goal 3: The host must score higher than the Knicks’ highest scoring player in the next away game against the Knicks.

Event reward: One A-level lottery card.

Failure penalty: The host will fall into a slump every time he plays at Madison Square Garden. "

The objective of the event doesn't require winning the game, but it's hard enough!

It’s been a long time since I got an A-level lottery card. Since the active trigger event “Artist’s Fantasy” activates special trigger conditions, the final reward of the 3 B-level lottery cards put in is the “blessing of the legendary superstar at a random location”, so I won’t. Returning the A-level lottery card is an event Sun Ce wants to complete.

But the points are higher than the opponent's highest, the rebounds are higher than Howard, the assists are higher than Dragic... it's easier said than done!

His grandson has played 22 games so far this season, averaging 29.68 points, 12 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 2.68 blocks and 2.5 steals per game. Compared with Howard's average rebounds per game and Dragic's average of 17 points and 7 assists per game, the average points per game must be With a crushing advantage, the Knicks are the kind of team where everyone wants to score. Their average rebounds and assists per game are not much worse than the opponent's highest average, but it's not that easy to make sure they get it.

The key is that this incident does not necessarily mean that the Grizzlies will win, but he still has the "artist's fantasy" goal of 25 consecutive wins!

"Why is it so difficult for me, Grandson!"

…

…

To say that the player who hates Sun Ce the most in this league may not be a player from the Thunder, the team that has lost to the Grizzlies the most since the Grizzlies entered the NBA. Be stronger.

Nor are they other players of the same generation who have been suppressed by Sun Ce.

The people who hate Sun Ce the most are probably the Knicks players.

The Knicks players change every year. Every year they are some high-paid players, but every year they have to watch Sun Cerang at their home court.

The key is that their home fans have now completely switched sides and become Sun Ce fans!

Even the local media prefers Sun Ce to their own team's players, which makes the Knicks players feel aggrieved.

The reporters asked them unkind questions during the interview. On the contrary, they knew immediately that they were biased towards the Grizzlies. The question asked by the New York Times reporter was "Is it possible for you to prevent the Lords from continuing to create a winning streak at the start?" This is true in sports. It is very rare in the world that local media usually use "we" to refer to local teams, but today, they all use "you".

At 7:40 pm, when the Grizzlies entered the stadium, as soon as Yi Jianlian and Stoudemire came out, the fans started cheering, which shocked them!

The Knicks players in the home team's tunnel were extremely unhappy when they saw this scene.

After the substitutes stood in two rows, when Sun Ce ran out first, shouts of "MVP" began to ring out.

When the Knicks players came on the court, they weren't booed, but some fans held up a sign that read "Let the Grizzlies and Knicks swap cities and the Lords won't leave." This was simply too hurtful. Got it!

What makes the Knicks most unhappy is that the Grizzlies have a bye tonight, and Aldridge and Tony Allen will not play tonight!

Being looked down upon by their own fans and seemingly looked down upon by their opponents, the Knicks players' mentality was about to explode before the game even started.

Dragic feels that Sun Ce is his nemesis!

Ever since Sun Ce entered the NBA, Dragic felt that he was very unlucky. It was not that he refused to let the Suns select Sun Ce. After Sun Ce played, he became the object of ridicule by Suns fans.

Now they have all gone to play in the East, but last season, Sun Ce gave them a critical blow, scoring 70 points in three quarters...

Dragic felt that Sun Ce was targeting him last year. Although Sun Ce worked hard against the Knicks before, 70 points in three quarters was too much. Dragic felt that Sun Ce only played because he was in the Knicks. You have to be so desperate.

As for fans defecting... Howard, Ariza, Chandler Parsons and others care about it, but Dragic doesn't care at all. He has already enjoyed such treatment during the Suns, and it is much crazier than this. At that time, many home fans even booed him, thinking that he was the reason why the Suns failed to get Sun Ce.

The players from the two teams had almost zero communication after entering the stadium, and they were preparing their own.

Originally, there was no grudge between the two teams. The championship battle was not about the Knicks. There was no dispute between the two teams in their history. They only played twice a year. However, as Sun Ce went berserk in this arena many times, the New York fans were convinced. After that, there was no friendly relationship between the Knicks and Sun Ce's team.

The pre-match preparation time was over, and at 7:58 pm, players from both teams took the field.

The Knicks sent out a lineup of Dragic, Ariza, Chandler Parsons, Bargnani, and Howard.

The average height of this lineup is no worse than that of the Grizzlies.

Sun Ce just looked at the ability evaluation of the Knicks players. Howard still has A+ level strength, but at the age of 29, he has been the strongest center in the league with S level strength since he was 26 years old. He has been the best defensive player for three consecutive years. In theory, It is really sad that his peak age has dropped to this point.

Dragic is at his peak and is also A+ level. It is said that the Knicks are ready to offer Dragic a 4-year 77 million contract, but Dragic wants 5 years and 100 million.

According to WOJ, if the Knicks are unwilling to offer a 5-year maximum salary, Dragic will choose to leave the team and sign a one-year short contract, waiting for the summer of 2016, when he will be only 30 years old. As a technical point guard, he can still get a 5-year big contract.

There is also Ariza at A- level, averaging 11 points, 5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game.

Chandler Parsons at A level averages 13 points, 6 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game.

Bargnani at B+ level averages 11 points per game, including 2.2 three-pointers per game.

The Knicks' nearly 100 million US dollars, the third highest salary in the league, is indeed not given for nothing, and the fourth place in the Eastern Conference is well deserved. After the Heat lost Chandler for nothing, the Knicks are no weaker than the Heat, and are stronger than the Raptors, where DeRozan has not yet reached his peak.

Howard looked at the starting lineup of Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Randolph, and Larry Sanders on the opposite side. Relatively speaking, although he was not as calm as Dragic about the other side's rest during the winning streak, he was not as angry as others.

Howard, who has turned 29 and is about to enter his thirties, has a very big change in his mentality. What he wants to do now is to win this game and prove that he is still the top center in this highly anticipated game, so that other superstars can see it.

Now he won't even complain that his teammates are not as good as Sun Ce, James, and Westbrook.

However, when he was in better condition and his teammates were better after his serious injury, he wanted to be happy. Now he wants to win and is not obsessed with happiness, but his teammates are not so good.

Therefore, he wants to prove himself more. In the summer of 2016, he can opt out of the player option. By then, the salary cap will increase greatly, and maybe the top teams will be able to make room to sign him.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. Howard beat Larry Sanders to win the jump ball, and the Knicks attacked first.

Speeding up from the beginning, Dragic is one of the fastest point guards in the league. The speed of advancing after receiving the ball is almost comparable to that of Sun Ce after grabbing a defensive rebound and triggering the skill bonus.

However, Dragic's size and impact are far behind Sun Ce and Corey Brewer, and he is far from the effect of the two grabbing a defensive rebound and counterattacking.

This lineup of the Grizzlies is to deal with the Knicks. Randolph quickly retreated to the basket, and Larry Sanders expanded to defend Bargnani's three-pointer.

Sun Ce was extremely focused when he entered the game. The effect of "Howard's arm guard" magnified his emotions. He was originally a person who was easy to concentrate. Otherwise, he could not bear the torture of 1:666 when he used "B-level phased burst" for the first time. For Howard, once he was depressed, his personal characteristics would be infinitely magnified to be more depressed. It became a good thing for Sun Ce.

However, when using Curry, Kobe and others... and his own star experience card, those wild mentality would be infinitely magnified.

Sun Ce went to defend Chandler Parsons, Klay Thompson followed Ariza closely, Paul George defended Dragic at the top of the arc, and Dragic looked for Howard to pick and roll.

Sun Ce really felt the change of Howard. Howard went up to help Dragic block Paul George. Although he did not turn around and cut in, he did not have that awareness, but it was enough to help Dragic create a breakthrough space.

Although Randolph expanded, Dragic still got the opportunity to break into the inside!

Sun Ce quickly pulled back, Dragic passed the ball to Chandler Parsons, but Larry Sanders had already made up for it. When Chandler Parsons wanted to pass it to Bargnani again, Paul George had already rushed to Bargnani from the free throw line. The speed of the switch scared Chandler Parsons!

Too strong!

They originally planned to use pick-and-roll to pass and cut against Aldridge and Randolph. It was easy to deal with this pair of inside players, but the twin towers formed by Randolph and Larry Sanders were too fast, and Larry Sanders could easily make up for it outside the three-point line.

But at this time, Howard's cut attracted Sun Ce's blockade. Randolph was still next to Dragic. Sun Ce's shrinkage just now was not a substantial double-teaming, but a threat. Dragic was afraid that there might be no shooting space and no passing route to pass the ball first, which would create an opportunity for Howard to cut in and face the opponent's open space to catch the ball and attack the basket!

Chandler Parsons immediately passed the ball to Howard, who received the ball and jumped directly towards Sun Ce!

Sun Ce had no way to avoid it, so he jumped up on the spot, stretched his left hand as far as he could to the ball, and then was knocked out... But this was a reasonable confrontation! Howard had no intention of committing a foul, and Sun Ce did not make a foul move. This was also a legal collision under the new rules. The key was that Howard's attack on the basket was too direct, without any fake moves or evasive moves! Although Sun Ce was knocked away, Sun Ce relied on the effect of "Olajuwon's hand straps" to have enough speed and size to hit the ball in Howard's hand. Howard knocked Sun Ce away and dropped the ball when he hit the basket!

The ball was thrown from Howard's hand to the neck of the basket and bounced out!

Randolph kicked Dragic away with his butt and grabbed the defensive rebound!

The fans at the scene were stunned! Sun Ce blocked Howard's charge! Instantly, there was an overwhelming cheer!

Sun Ce got up immediately, he felt that he was almost suffocated by the collision!

Fortunately, Howard has lost weight to 115 kg in the past two years, otherwise he, Sun, really couldn't bear it.

Too fierce! Even Howard, whose explosive power has declined significantly, still has a physical fitness that ranks among the top centers in the league. The performances of Jordan, Drummond and others may be better, but their effects are similar to Howard, but they are younger and have lower salaries, so they will get higher evaluations.

Seeing that Sun Ce was fine, Paul George, who received the ball, quickly advanced, and Sun Ce hurried to follow.

Sun Ce's block just now was a great morale booster for the Grizzlies!

When Randolph ran to the front court, he had the opportunity to rush in from the left side of the three-second zone to receive the ball and layup. Howard saw that there was no one between Randolph and Paul George to intercept the pass, and Bargnani did not keep up, so he could only make up for it.

At this time, Sun Ce, who came to the front court behind Paul George, turned his back to bypass Chandler Parsons and cut into the inside. Paul George passed the ball to Sun Ce, and Sun Ce jumped into the basket and really made up for Howard, but Sun Ce made an easy Kobe-style pull-up with a forward bend and made a layup!

If it was Howard in his prime, he would have been able to defend two players with one. Back then, he and Lewis could help the Magic play one of the best defenses in the league. The three consecutive best defensive players were not given for nothing.

But at this moment, Sun Ce felt the twilight of a tiger being bullied by a dog in the plain from Howard... It seems wrong to think about it carefully!

1 block and 1 layup at the beginning, Sun Ce's performance at the beginning tonight was too bright, and the fans at the scene were excited!

They seemed to see the scene of Sun Ce who came here a year ago and scored 70 points!

And Sun Ce's characteristic that has been praised by people since his rookie year was shown at this time. After the layup, Sun Ce did not continue to think about it and retreated immediately.

Sun Ce at that time looked at his ability evaluation, and he had a clear mind. He knew what he should and should not do. Over time, he developed a habit of retreating immediately after scoring.

This shows how good it is for a player to develop good habits in the early stage of his career. Either he must have the extremely self-disciplined and firm mentality of Duncan and Leonard, or he needs motivation and then develop habits bit by bit.

Sun Ce did not get inflated because of the good performance in the previous round, and honestly guarded next to Chandler Parsons.

Although Aldridge did not play tonight, the strong inside combination of Aldridge and Gobert was missing, but the combination of Randolph and Larry Sanders just restrained Howard and Bargnani's twin towers inside and outside. Dragic, who pushed to the frontcourt, felt very uncomfortable!

In this situation, if you can't start a fast break, you can't play team cooperation. The opponent's switching defense is too strong. The switching defense ability of this combination is even stronger than the 12-13 season two years ago, because the outside three-man team and Larry Sanders have made great progress. Sun Ce and Paul George are at the level of double one defense, and Larry Sanders and Klay Thompson are at the level of quasi-defense formation. The salary of this combination is almost 60 million US dollars! And every penny is worth it!

There is no other way. Dragic can only choose to do it himself. After the pick-and-roll, he rushed to the inside and accelerated hard. He was not stuck by Randolph. He grabbed the ball and threw it before Sun Ce completely shrank in place...

This move is powerful, just like Sun Ce's acceleration and change of direction during the move. It is Dragic's unique skill of pick-and-roll breakthrough and scoring.

However, Sun Ce was not in a hurry and did not choose to switch defense with Paul George. Paul George's defense was already very good. For their Grizzlies, it is more important to use his ability to connect defense, which is one of the best in the league, to do a good job of team defense.

Dragic's move is powerful, but just like Sun Ce's acceleration and change of direction, which is only used three or five times in a game, it consumes too much physical energy. Even if he uses physical potions, he will not waste physical energy with this move, but find a more relaxed way to score.

The Knicks want to defend the Grizzlies and find a way to counterattack, while the Grizzlies also want to ensure the success rate.

The Knicks' defense is okay, but Howard is not the peak after all. Bargnani's defense is the same as Lewis's. Howard can't lead now.

Paul George forced Ariza, but failed to get a shooting opportunity. He passed the ball to Sun Ce. Sun Ce didn't mess around. He knew he had to stay calm because of the effect of "Howard's arm guard". This mentality became very firm. He calmly saw Klay Thompson cut in...

Sun Ce was a little worried when he passed it out. Klay Thompson's close-range jump shot and layup hit rate were the same, both 50%, which was too miserable.

Fortunately, Klay Thompson did not force a dunk this time, and he easily scored two points with a casual layup.

Howard was helpless. He understood that Dragic left Klay Thompson open to defend Sun Ce. Klay Thompson was the last player in the league in layup level among all starters, comparable to Rubio. He dunked 29 times in the first three seasons and liked dunking inexplicably...

But Sun Ce played too rationally, so rationally that Howard felt a little mentally broken.

Seeing that Sun Ce was in such a good state at the beginning, even such a pull-up layup went in, Howard felt that the breakthrough point of this game might be that Sun Ce would play well and recklessly, and they would have a greater chance of winning.

But Sun Ce and other Grizzlies players, including Klay Thompson who cut into the empty basket, did not try to dunk rationally.

Howard finally understood why the Grizzlies defeated the first 24 opponents.

The current Grizzlies are in even more exaggerated form than the Pacers last year!
