One Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirty. The Opponent Began to Give In.

On April 8, the Grizzlies came to Minneapolis to challenge the Timberwolves. Sun Ce played 33 minutes in three quarters and scored 24 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 blocks and 4 steals. He should have been replaced halfway through the third quarter. The Grizzlies were already leading by 25 points at 70 to 45, but Coach Hollins made him take the last two assists before leaving.

This is the tradition of the Grizzlies...

126 to 90, the Grizzlies defeated the Timberwolves by 36 points and won 9 consecutive victories! 71 wins!

Sun Ce also got his 9th triple-double of the season!

Since the sophomore year, Sun Ce has got more than 10 triple-doubles every season. There are still 4 games left this season, and there is still a chance!

This season, Sun Ce basically gave the right to organize the offense to Paul George. He only took on the task of organizing the offense when Paul George was not in a good touch and could not attract defense, and occasionally got 1 triple-double.

Paul George is not the same as other stars. As an organizing forward, he relies heavily on his touch. Over time, opponents have understood him and his characteristics, which is his flaw.

Every star has flaws. This is not a fatal problem. They are no more than the 12-13 season. Now they can hold the ball more.

Sun Ce's triple-doubles have decreased this season. In addition to Paul George's increased time holding the ball, his personal playing style has changed. His offensive skills have become more sophisticated, and his scoring efficiency has increased. If he can shoot, of course he can shoot. Even if he is one-on-one or breaks into the basket to face the inside defense and the outside defense, his success rate is higher than most teammates.

In addition, Sun Ce's playing time this season, after the mid-season and All-Star Weekend, has increased, and his average playing time is only 35 minutes per game.

Of course, the reduction in playing time is also one of the reasons for his improved efficiency.

…

After the game with the Timberwolves, the Grizzlies came to Sacramento, the capital of California, the next day and rested for a night. On April 10, the day of the Grizzlies' fourth-to-last game of the season arrived.

Originally, starting from the game against the Nuggets, the first four of the remaining six games were arranged by the league for the Grizzlies to take a break at the end of the regular season, because they had to play against the Pelicans and Thunder to end the regular season, and the last two games were used to warm up for the playoffs.

But who would have thought that at the last moment of the regular season, the Grizzlies' next two games arranged by the league to give the Grizzlies a break became the focus of attention of NBA fans all over the world!

After the Grizzlies defeated the Timberwolves,

many TV stations announced that they would broadcast the next two games between the Grizzlies and the Kings and the Pistons.

For the players of the Kings and the Pistons, it was really a bit flattering.

The Pistons were actually okay. Their outside core Jennings had been on par with Sun Ce for a period of time in his rookie season, and had also impacted the playoffs with the Bucks. Last season, the Pistons also impacted the playoffs but failed. At the end of the regular season, they received attention.

As for the Kings, they have not entered the playoffs for seven or eight years. Let alone entering the playoffs, they don’t even have a chance to impact the playoffs.

At least all the current Kings players have never had the opportunity to be in the hot news at the end of the regular season during their Kings career.

Since yesterday's preparation day, Kings players, mainly those who have been playing for the Kings since entering the NBA, have never experienced the heat at the end of the regular season, but they felt it this time.

Moreover, it was directly plus, max, high... level!

At 6:40 p.m. on the 10th, the Kings players entered the court and saw a large group of retired celebrities, a large number of artists, business celebrities, and politicians from Los Angeles sitting on the sidelines. The Kings players didn't recognize their home court.

They have been interviewed all day today. Their coaching staff has not prepared any training programs at this time. The season is about to end, and they will definitely change the head coach again during the offseason. How the players develop and improve is none of their business. They haven't had so many reporters come to interview for many years, so of course the press officer has to agree.

When the game started at night, the Kings players felt like they were dreaming when they found so many celebrities on the scene...

When the game started at 7 o'clock, the Kings players seemed to not know how to play, and the Grizzlies started with a 10-0 wave.

However, it was useless for the Kings players to react. Now the Grizzlies players were trying their best to win. There were only four games in the regular season, and there was no such thing as rest. The Grizzlies, who went all out, easily widened the score gap. Sun Ce only played for 24 minutes, 8 minutes in each of the first three quarters, and then clocked out. He scored 20 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block, and 1 steal.

In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the Kings 120-98, winning 10 consecutive games and improving their record to 72 wins and 7 losses! Tied the Bulls' record for the most wins in the regular season!

The celebrities on the scene were cheering. They came here just to see this historic moment with their own eyes. Some of them were ready to go to the Grizzlies' home court the day after tomorrow to watch the Grizzlies' record-breaking game!

Even the owner of the Grizzlies didn't expect that the game they might break the record would be a home game, and it was the least suspenseful game at the end of the regular season, and it was also the game with the lowest ticket price at the end of the regular season, with an average ticket price of only US$44. However, since the Grizzlies' 7-game winning streak increased their wins to 70, the ticket price has soared all the way, and the highest ticket price for courtside tickets has reached US$37,000, which is the official price, surpassing the ticket price of the All-Star Game held in New York this year!

The next game between the Grizzlies and the Pelicans was played at the Pelicans' home court, and the ticket price there was also soaring. Although it was not as exaggerated as the ticket price of the Grizzlies' home court, which was regarded as the game with the highest probability of breaking the record, it was enough for the Pelicans to make a lot of money, and they made money lying down. They did nothing and could make money.

The last game between the Grizzlies and the Thunder at home was originally a popular game, and now the remaining tickets that have not been sold out have risen to sky-high prices!

Even the previous game at the Kings' home court, although the Grizzlies only tied the record, also made the Kings a lot of money.

This is just the price increase of NBA teams. Scalpers are making a lot of money. Some of the courtside tickets for the game between the Grizzlies and the Pistons that were sold by scalpers were sold at a sky-high price of 150,000 US dollars!

…

…

The happiest fans this season, who have been enjoying themselves for a whole season, are the Grizzlies fans.

Who would have thought that they would have a chance to break the Bulls' 72-win record?

No one thought that this record-breaking game would be played at home!

After the game with the Kings, the next morning, when the Grizzlies returned to Memphis, they were taken away by a group of police as soon as they got off the plane, which scared Sun Ce and his team! They thought they had committed a crime.

It was not until they boarded the flight to the building with a helicopter pad next to the FedEx Arena and left the airport that they saw the scene outside the Memphis airport. The crowds of people protesting and assembling surrounded the airport, and the traffic jams made the police very anxious. The scene was really spectacular!

In this situation, people who want to catch the plane have no other way except to enter by helicopter. People coming to Memphis from other places can only take a helicopter. Sun Ce then learned the reason why the airport police made such an arrangement.

Only when they have returned to Memphis and left the airport can this situation end.

The fans are really crazy!

However, no matter how crazy, Sun Ce and others are used to it. What they have done this season cannot be more crazy in the field of basketball.

After a night of rest, on April 12, the third-to-last game of the Grizzlies' regular season this season arrived!

Since returning to Memphis yesterday, the Grizzlies management and coaching staff have consulted with the players after returning to Memphis yesterday morning and unanimously decided to cancel all interviews until the game with the Pistons is over.

The reason, in Sun Ce's words, is-let's get this game done for things like breaking records. I don't want to drag it on and delay our preparations for the playoffs.

They want to ensure that they can get the 73rd win in the game against the Pistons, and then they can play the last regular season match of this season with the Pelicans and Thunder without any pressure.

At present, the Pelicans are competing with the Trail Blazers and the Jazz for the seventh and eighth positions in the West. The Pelicans may become the first-round opponent of the Grizzlies.

The Thunder has locked the fourth place and may meet in the second round. These two opponents must prepare well for the series with them. The Pelicans are okay, but the Thunder is really hard to deal with.

Now that they have won 72 games, the mentality of the Grizzlies players has calmed down, because they know that they can do it.

This is a qualitative improvement in confidence!

No matter how crazy the outside public opinion is, they ignore external things and prepare well for the game against the Pistons.

After a day of preparation, at 5:40 in the evening, the much-anticipated game between the Grizzlies and the Pistons will begin. The players of both teams enter the court after warming up.

Jennings looked at Sun Ce, who had won 11 Player of the Week awards and might break James's record of 11 Player of the Week awards in a single season... This guy can no longer be described as exaggerated!

Back then, he was much better than Sun Ce, but soon, Sun Ce became better than him, and then kept widening the gap... This feeling made him crazy.

But he couldn't stop it, so he could only work hard to make himself stronger. In the season after he was traded to the Pistons, he was abused by Sun Ce, and his mentality began to change, and he began to change his playing style. After more than a year of adjustment, this season he played the best performance of his career so far.

But compared with Sun Ce... Jennings had to admit that he might not be a genius!
