One Thousand Seven Hundred and Fifty-Nine. You Still Have to Have Dreams

In the past few days, the team arranged basic tactics and technical training for Sun Ce and other players, mainly pick-and-roll, shooting, off-ball running and other training. There was no training for either the Thunder or the Warriors. After all, the two teams seemed too close in strength. After the first five games, there was a feeling of going to a tiebreaker.

In addition, it was rest, and watching the games between the Thunder and the Warriors together and analyzing the two teams.

When the Warriors won the tiebreaker, the Grizzlies no longer needed to study the opponents who had just advanced from scratch, and could directly start targeted tactical training based on the characteristics of the Warriors' playing style in the first round.

This is their advantage as the Grizzlies!

In the past, they did not use this advantage so well. If they had such a long rest time before, it would be difficult for them to be as focused as they are now.

But in the second round, the Warriors, Thunder, Spurs and Mavericks showed too much strength, which brought them pressure.

But they played well, which was not only pressure but also an opportunity for the Grizzlies. As for the Warriors, who are about to play against them, they definitely tried their best when they played against the Thunder in the first round. If it weren't for Iguodala's explosion on the road, the Warriors would have been defeated.

So, relatively speaking, the Grizzlies know the Warriors better!

As for the Warriors, they played a tiebreaker in the first round. Even if they are a team dominated by young players, they still need a certain amount of rest time and have to study the first round of the Grizzlies' games... The key is that they may not be able to study anything. They were very focused and serious in the first round against the Pelicans, but they did not necessarily bring out all their strength. The Pelicans could not reach that level.

Rest, study the Grizzlies, train... At most two days plus a day of preparation time may not be enough!

And this is the advantage of the Grizzlies at the beginning of the second round!

But even so, Sun Ce did not dare to underestimate the Warriors.

Unlike Harden in the original time and space, who seemed very weak in the playoffs due to his playing style, and whose efficiency in the regular season was quite good but became extremely inefficient in the playoffs, Harden here came to the Warriors and was trained to play in a more suitable style in the playoffs, allowing him to continue the development path of the Thunder period, with strong mid-range singles and a good overall hit rate.

This season, Harden's hit rate in the regular season reached 48%, and in the playoffs it was 46%, unlike the original time and space, where he had a hit rate of 43-4% at most in the Rockets, and a hit rate of less than 40% in the playoffs.

There is also defense. Harden did a really good job of establishing defense against Dion Waiters or Westbrook in the first round! Not as good as Iguodala, but better than Harrison Barnes!

Curry averaged 24.5 points per game in the first round, and averaged 4.4 three-pointers per game with a three-point hit rate of 39%!

There is also Iguodala, this guy, who usually seems to be useless, only defending and passing, but in the key games, he performed very well!

…

…

On May 4, the second day after the first round of the playoffs, the second round of the playoffs is about to begin.

The Warriors came to Memphis early this morning after the playoffs with the Thunder.

The Warriors are very positive about the upcoming second round.

It's too difficult!

In the 12-13 season, they had just got Harden and started to rise. They had entered the second round. They thought they would go further next, but they met the Grizzlies in the first round of the playoffs last season and lost in the seventh game.

This season, they have soared to 60 wins, but only got fifth in the West. With the home advantage, they were almost defeated by the Thunder in the first round, but finally passed the test.

However, after defeating the Thunder in the seventh game, the Warriors' confidence increased greatly! They were at a disadvantage against the Thunder in the first five games of the first round. If they hadn't had the home advantage in the first two home games, they might have been eliminated in the first round within 5 games.

But in the last two games,

their cooperation and tacit understanding have been significantly improved! Mainly on the defensive end, they have done better!

When they sent out the super defensive combination of Harden, Iguodala, Draymond Green, and Thabeet to drag Curry, they only defended the Thunder to 88 points in a single game!

Unlike what Sun Ce thought, the Warriors can't wait to play against the Grizzlies as soon as possible to continue this state!

...

After arriving at the hotel, putting away their luggage and changing into casual clothes, Curry and Harden set off together to the place they would go to every time they played in Memphis - the family restaurant by the small pond.

On the way, Curry deliberately asked the driver to go around the FedEx Arena.

Finally, it's time to play against Sun Ce in the playoffs again!

Defeating Sun Ce and defeating Sun Ce in the playoffs is what Curry most wants to do after entering the NBA!

However, thinking of the Grizzlies' record this season, Curry is really a headache.

The Grizzlies are too strong this season, too strong.

After walking around for a while, they continued to the family restaurant where they had agreed to meet. Just when Curry was about to say "I want to change the sky", Harden next to him suddenly said, "Stephen, you said we have nothing to do, so why do we stand in front of the Grizzlies' arena for half an hour every time we come to Memphis?

LeBron, Russell, Kyrie... and you, I also stood there, but I didn't see anything."

This question really stumped Curry. He didn't know a damn thing, he just followed the crowd and went to take a look.

But, if he said he didn't know, wouldn't that be stupid?

Suddenly, Curry was furious. If no one raised questions about this kind of thing, so many stars doing it together would have a bit of a "legendary" color in it, as if it meant that a group of stars looked up at the mountain of the current league and vowed to cross it... Anyway, there are such rumors in the market.

But it's impossible to say it yourself, right?

If someone in this group asked others like Harden, and it got out, it would really be stupid!

Curry's mind was full of thoughts, and he couldn't help but angrily said: "Why do you have so many questions!"

Harden was confused - what's wrong? Why did he get angry when he didn't agree with something? It's really hard to get along with him! It was really hard for Noah to get along with this guy for so long. Only people with good tempers like Noah and I could tolerate it...

...

I come to this restaurant several times every year. Over time, I have become familiar with the boss. Whenever the Warriors come to Memphis, the restaurant owner will not open to the public, just waiting for the Grizzlies' outside trio and the Splash to come for lunch. The restaurant is run by the boss and his wife. After getting to know each other, they have lunch with the five big stars of the two teams. They don't charge any money. They take a photo and post it on Twitter. It's very face-saving.

And the boss and his wife are very good at dealing with things. They just sit down and eat something symbolically, take a photo and leave.

You always have to chat when you have a meal together. As we chatted, we expected the first game of the series between the two teams the day after tomorrow.

Curry couldn't help but take the initiative to provoke again: "I will definitely beat you this time. You don't have the good luck like last time."

Here we go again!

The double 3D can't stop expressing sympathy for Curry. Every time this happens, Curry is confronted to the point of doubting his life.

However, this guy seems to have not learned any lesson, and he always takes the initiative to get bullied.

When it comes to scolding people, Sun Ce is unique in the NBA!

He has a lot of dirty talk, but the key is that he has the capital to say dirty talk. Now Sun Ce, even if he stands in front of Jordan and talks dirty, no one thinks Sun Ce is too arrogant. Sun Ce is already a player of that level. The Lord of the Rings, the Logo Man, Zhang Liangwan, the Magician, Big Bird, God, Shark, Black Mamba, Stone Buddha, Sky Hook... Sun Ce has been put into discussion among these people.

With enough capital, Sun Ce can talk any dirty talk.

And Sun Ce loves to show off, and the key is that he can often pretend to be successful. In the first game of the first round, Sun Ce's Big Bird-style quasi-lore shot was so awesome that his teammates felt crazy.

Isn't Curry's operation just looking for trouble?

Moreover, this is not the first or second time, but Curry can't help provoking every time. Every time he plays a good game, Curry feels that he can do it again.

Harden is helpless-can't he just have a good meal? How could this good partner be so hostile to Noah? Only Noah has a good temper. If it were someone else, they would definitely not be able to be friends.

However, the three of them actually saw Sun Ce nodding and saying, "Yes, you always have to have a dream..."

What is this operation?

The two partners who have been together day and night, the double 3D, did not understand what Sun Ce meant. Although the Warriors played well this year, they still have an advantage.

The key is that Sun Ce is not the kind of person who is willing to suffer losses. When it comes to games, Sun Ce never gives in, except for praising his teammates to death all day long, which makes them embarrassed.

Curry was also a little confused. What happened to Sun Ce today?

Sun Ce was so easy to talk to, Curry felt very uncomfortable, and he was ready to have a fight with Sun Ce.

At this time, Sun Ce paused for a while and continued, "If you don't even have a dream, how can you understand what true despair is?"
