One Thousand Seven Hundred and Forty-Eight. The Most Miserable Away Team

"Ni Da Ye..."

Three random special cards, but none of them have "one-hit kill"! The special card that Sun Ce thought of the most was, of course, this one.

This card is the most conducive to showing off... No, it is the most conducive to winning at the critical moment!

But it's not bad to have evil come back to you. It is used automatically and you don't have to worry about being fouled.

The passer in the sewer... This one is a bit tricky. It can only be icing on the cake. If the whole team is not in good condition, this is a pitfall.

But this time there is a special card that Sun Ce has never drawn.

Sun Ce opened the detailed description.

"Soul of Truth (special card): Paul Pierce's characteristic transformation special card. When the host is injured and cannot complete the Nash training method to restore body functions, this card can be used to speed up the recovery speed. As long as he doesn't die, the body can be perfectly restored to the pre-injury state."

Looking at the description of this card, Sun Ce was silent.

"Do you think I will be beaten to death on the court? Am I so hated?"

He complained in his heart. Although this card made him feel like he was discriminated against, it was really a card to be prepared for any eventuality! If he really gets seriously injured, this card can be called a god card!

It will definitely be a very good guarantee for his career!

But he won't try the effect, that would be stupid, this is a god-level special card for precaution.

What makes Sun Ce happy the most is the skill upgrade card, three rewards, "Random Skill Upgrade Card", "Radmanovice Peak Star Experience Card", "Perfect Clothing Taste".

Of these three cards, Sun Ce didn't care about the other two, but he chose to take a gamble, and it was right!

With a thought, the system began to randomly select skills that can be upgraded using skill upgrade cards.

"Congratulations to the host, skill: Pillar of Heaven has been upgraded from level 3 to level 4."

"Pillar of Heaven Level 4: When the host is defending under the basket, 1. If the host chooses to take off vertically, the jumping height will be temporarily increased by two small levels, and the static strength will be temporarily increased by two small levels; 2. The ability to take off in the explosive confrontation will be slightly improved, which is related to the size and confrontation of the host's opponent.

Note: The effect of level 5 is the influence of the host on the referee's whistle when there is no foul action when defending in the three-second zone.

Note: This skill can be upgraded through random skill upgrade cards or designated skill upgrade cards, or through the cumulative number of blocks under the basket.

Upgrade goal: 1,000 cumulative blocks in the regular season (0/1000)."

This skill is occasionally useful, but it depends on the opponent. If he switches to the inside to make up for the defense when the outside line breaks in, the effect is no worse than that of a serious inside line. Of course, he needs to practice this skill well, but he has not really developed this ability. After all, he is not an inside line, and he only has the opportunity to switch defense occasionally.

Moreover, if a power forward or center with strong athletic ability and explosive physical fitness rushes in, such as Griffin and Jordan, he has almost no chance of stopping him.

This effect 2 seems to have some bonus in this regard, but it is estimated that it can still have a greater restriction on the outside line, after all, it depends on the size and confrontation ability of the opposing players.

If he is directly knocked away... then no bonus is useful!

However, the accumulated blocks, which had reached 264 times, are now back to zero! Because the skill has been upgraded, it has to start from the beginning again!

This skill can only be upgraded quickly by skill upgrade cards. 1,000 blocks, even if he has always averaged 3 blocks per game, it will take more than 4 seasons to upgrade.

But it doesn't matter if you take it slowly. This skill is also a very good skill. It belongs to the basic skills, and the basics are often the most important.

The current trend of the league is definitely to encourage offense more and more. Although David Stern can't take a big step like the school beauty and tear his crotch, this trend is irreversible. There are more and more high-quality 3D shooters, and there are more and more space-type inside players and pure cake-eating inside players... There are many rookies who entered the NBA in 2013 and 2014. There are very single-function players, team offense, speed, three-pointers... This trend is irreversible.

Of course, this is also related to their Splash Brothers, Warriors' Kuhao and others who made a name for themselves with three-pointers.

The probability of learning machines directly obtaining temporary powerful rewards such as star experience cards is getting lower and lower, and it is becoming more and more difficult to break records because many records have been broken. Now most of the time, rewards are to improve themselves. Sun Ce regards it as having passed the "imitation" stage, and he has gradually formed his own style.

In terms of cheating, the preparations that can be done have been made.

But for championship teams, cheating can only be expected to help in times of trouble, and there is no need to add icing on the cake. Cheating will definitely greatly increase the probability of winning the game on the spot, and even the probability of a comeback in a dangerous situation can be increased.

However, more still depends on oneself and the team!

…

One night passed, and on April 18, the Grizzlies began to prepare for the first round opener on the 20th.

The team meeting started at 9 o'clock in the morning. Before the coaching staff conducted tactical analysis and explained the game plan, a mobilization meeting was held first. Paul George is now numb. After receiving Sun Ce's request yesterday afternoon, he didn't sleep much last night. He arrived at the stadium at more than seven o'clock this morning, still thinking about how to be a qualified leader to help this unreliable third brother.

There is no way. The iron-clad Black Panda and the second-in-command who leads the way. The new second-in-command does not have the leadership ability of Nash in the past. If we have to say Aldridge's leadership ability... is no different from Yi Jianlian, and is not as bold as Larry Sanders with a tough personality.

Carter, Pierce, and Blake are more leading the locker room, using game experience, life experience, etc. to help these players who are not too old.

Then only Paul George can take on the important task.

However, in the middle of the night and half of the morning, Paul George still couldn't come up with a bunch of nonsense like Sun Ce, so he chose the most direct way of mobilization: "In the first round, we must win, we can't lose a game, there is no reason to lose!"

A simple sentence reveals the pride of being the only full-time player in the team that just created the best record of 75 wins and 7 losses in history!

And this is also the pride of the Grizzlies players, so even though it is such a simple sentence, it resonates with teammates all of a sudden!

In the first round, of course, there can be no mistakes. Although they know that the playoff system is a 7-game 4-win system, they really don't want to lose a single game!

The teammates were immediately inspired by Paul George's desire to win. The coaching staff was very satisfied. Each player with leadership ability has a different way of leading the team. Sun Ce is responsible for being coquettish, Randolph is responsible for being fierce, and Pierce is responsible for being ruthless. Paul George, his unique Mamba-style arrogance, is a perfect match for his declaration to sweep the Pelicans.

Sun Ce was also infected, but the system prompt came!

"Because the host team's only goal in the first round of this season against the Pelicans is to sweep the Pelicans, A-level event: Wolf Snake Nightmare is triggered."

"Wolf Snake Nightmare (A):

Goal: Sweep the Pelicans in the first round of this season's playoffs.

Event rewards: 1. Specified skill error specified upgrade card fragment * 1; 2. Mysterious fragment * 1."

A-level event...

Sun Ce couldn't help but clench his fist when he saw the level of this event.

A-level events are generally events that can only be completed in a regular season of a season, and sometimes even in a playoff event. This time it became a separate event, proving that it is very difficult to sweep the Pelicans in the system's judgment!

Sun Ce was not surprised. Although they won 75 wins, which is much higher than the Bulls' 72 wins, the Eastern Conference at that time had begun to weaken like an avalanche after the Bulls' first three consecutive championships, and the winning rate was more than half to enter the playoffs.

But now in the Western Conference where the Grizzlies are located, the Pelicans, who have the worst playoff record, have 52 wins! It is much more difficult for them to break out of the West than it was for the Bulls to break out of the East at that time.

When thinking of this, Sun Ce suddenly found that he had underestimated the Pelicans a little too much. There was no way. He had been playing with Irving and Anthony Davis, and occasionally asked Irving for it.

This won't work! Sun Ce knows that none of the teams that can make it to the Western Conference playoffs this year are easy to deal with!

Calm down, Sun Ce will not think about breaking out of the West for the time being, and adjust his mentality according to the experience of playing in the playoffs in previous years-focus on the current opponent.

This is the knockout round!

…

…

A day passed quickly, and on April 19, the 14-15 season playoffs will kick off tonight.

Today, there are the first games of the two hot series between the Spurs and the Mavericks, and the 76ers and the Knicks, but the most reported by the media is the news that the Pelicans came to Memphis today.

As for why the Pelicans' arrival in Memphis became news... because they entered Memphis by bus!

Memphis International Airport has entered an overloaded state. As early as half a month ago, the routes for these days had been determined. At that time, the Pelicans were still uncertain whether they could enter the playoffs. The Pelicans contacted Memphis International Airport on the evening of the 16th, and Memphis International Airport had already planned all the routes for these days with an overloaded booking volume. The Pelicans originally booked a charter flight yesterday, but in the end they had to change it to today, and they did not get off at Memphis International Airport, but got off at Nashville International Airport in southern Memphis, and then took a bus to Memphis.

From this scene, fans understand how popular the Grizzlies' playoffs are!

After the Pelicans arrived at the hotel, Irving put his things in the room and lay directly on the floor.

It was so difficult!

This was the first time he encountered such a difficult away game!

It was difficult enough to play against the Grizzlies. The team that was predicted to be swept in the playoffs this time was the Pelicans.

Irving was very unhappy with such a prediction, but he was more unwilling to accept it. Why was it Sun Ce again!
