182. Respect Earned by Performance

That's how bad the Grizzlies' bench is!

With an S-level scoring core like Randolph, a pair of A- and A-level inside and outside defensive gates, scorers, and support cores such as Gasol and Gay Jr., Conley, a stable commander, and Mayo, an outstanding player In the case of a top scorer, if it weren't for the bad bench, how could it be possible to have a record of 1 win and 4 losses in the past 5 games.

Playing the Lakers, Clippers, Rockets, and Trail Blazers, he lost an average of 9 points in four games, all of which were violently beaten during the rotation.

How bad is the Grizzlies bench?

Sun Ce just looked at the ability evaluations of the rest of the team. Apart from him, the best ones are Sam Young's c ability evaluation, Darrell Arthur's c ability evaluation, and Jamal Tins next. Lee's c-, and then Haddadi's d and Marcus Williams' d ability evaluation...

The Grizzlies have a total of 13 players.

Point guard: Conley b, Sun Ce c, Tinsley c-.

Shooting guard: Mayo b, Marcus Williams d.

Small forwards: Gay a, Carol d.

Power forwards: Randolph s, Sam Young c, Arthur c.

Center: Marc Gasol a-, Haddadi d, Trey Gilder d,

In the summer, he focused on signing Iverson, cultivating the second place, signing first and then changing Randolph.

Of course, they have already done a good job and got Randolph under the active communication of Bill Duffy. After all, they still got the second pick last season. There is no way to get the core lineup overnight and also consider the substitute.

The current coaching staff of the Grizzlies is very good. Most of them are defensive. They are very suitable for this team. Sun Ce has a headache about how to lead this group of substitutes.

He has always wanted to learn defense, but when he really had the opportunity to learn, he had already changed teams...

...

...

Team meetings and tactical training are very targeted. Compared with the old Nelson's team, they have clearer goals and team positioning.

The disadvantage is that it does not have as many tactics as old Nelson, nor does it have so much freedom.

The tactical meeting in the morning and the tactical running training in the afternoon are quite perfect. Because of Sun Ce's arrival, the tactical training of the Grizzlies today seems to be as serious as it was in the preseason.

This is the coaching staff sending a signal to the old players-Sun Ce is a very important signing for the team.

Sun Ce felt this and understood the intention of the coaching staff.

After understanding the signal from the coaching staff, the attitude of Sun Ce's new teammates began to change.

The competitors in the back line are very serious in training. They want to change the mind of the coaching staff. Although they know that there is a high probability that it will be useless, they still want to struggle.

The attitude of the starters has also changed.

After the tactical training in the afternoon, most of the teammates went to the locker room to change their clothes and left. Conley, who was with Gay and Gasol Jr., said to Sun Ce: "Noah, let's go to dinner together? Congrats on joining the team!"

Sun Ce was a little surprised. This senior who was so calm that he didn't say a few words actually offered to help him celebrate joining. This represents the goodwill of the core team!

Sun Ce suppressed the excitement, and replied, "Thank you, it's only four o'clock, and I'll be here as soon as I practice shooting."

"Practice shooting?" Conley was also surprised. Will the team practice more after training? He thought for a moment and said to Gay and Gasol Jr., "I'll stay and train with Noah, Mark, you go to make an appointment at the restaurant and contact me once you've booked a seat."

"Very hard, rookie, much harder than the guy with the second overall pick, I'll train with you too." Gay said without going back to the locker room to change, and began to practice three-pointers.

Listening to Guy's words, Sun Ce felt very straightforward... But seeing Guy practicing three-pointers, Sun Ce thought of the most painful thing.

When he was in the Warriors, the Warriors averaged 26 three-pointers per game and ranked first in the league with an average of 9.3 shots per game.

The new club averaged 11 three-pointers per game.

The bottom one in the league, with an average of 4.2 three-pointers per game, is also the bottom one in the league...

Gay, who averaged 1.7 three-pointers per game, and Mayo, who averaged 1.3 three-pointers per game, are the two best three-pointers of the Grizzlies.

Can't be out of gregarious! Little Gasol, who intentionally grew a big beard to pretend to be cool, responded: "The restaurant has been selected. I will go to the locker room and call to make an appointment. I will train with you too!"

At this moment, Randolph, who had changed his clothes and came out of the locker room, saw that the four teammates were going to practice, and was angry: "Are you all so boring?"

Just as Sun Ce was about to say something, Conley spoke first: "Zach, together?"

"..." Randolph was silent for a while when he heard Conley's words, and said, "Wait for me to change into my training clothes."

"..." Sun Ce didn't expect Randolph to listen to Conley so much!

Looking at it from another angle, Sun Ce feels that Randolph really wants to win now!

...

"Humility: Learning Object: Zach Randolph,

Guidance Conditions: Unknown.

Learnable Objectives: Unknown.

The character of the learning object is elusive and unpredictable, and the learning trigger conditions are unknown. "

As soon as Randolph stepped onto the training ground, Sun Ce received a system prompt.

But the system prompts...

"What kind of personality is difficult to figure out? What is unpredictable? Are all NBA players freaks? One by one!" Sun Ce misses the bullying elementary school students so much.

Sun Ce thought that he wanted to learn from Ellis before, but he had to conduct a "training duel" that he didn't know about for ten days in a row before triggering the learning requirement, and then it took another ten days of training duel before Ellis recognized it. After getting the opportunity to ask for advice, Sun Ce also calmed down a lot.

"Take your time, when the time comes, I will squeeze this fat man dry!"

But... training with Conley, Gay, Randolph, and Gasol Jr., Sun Ce is under a lot of pressure!

Conley, the weakest of the four starters, is at the B level, and his shooting in training is not weak, but the confrontation is too great in the game. Conley, who has just turned 22 and weighs only 79 kilograms, cannot guarantee his shooting stability. The height of 85 is also a problem.

But Conley's fundamentals are good.

Sun Ce's shooting surprised the four big guys who were training together, it was so bad!

The mid-range shot at the d level is really hot...

However, with Sun Ce's hard work, these four teammates who are enthusiastic and full of expectations for Sun Ce still feel very good about Sun Ce. This new teammate is just a rookie.

The main reason is that Sun Ce got two triple-doubles in the first eight games, and his average of 1177 in the eight games gave them respect.

Otherwise, even if the coaching staff paid attention to it, their attitude towards Sun Ce would at most transfer their attitude towards Thabeet to Sun Ce, and their attitude towards Thabeet...

Just when the five players were training hard, a defender was very upset.

Mayo was very upset to see that the other four starting partners actually stayed to practice with Sun Ce, but he did not stay, but left the arena alone...

...

...

A brand new day is here!

After Sun Ce's morning practice, he ate the nutritious breakfast specially sent by the team to the hotel. He felt that the team really cared about it. Maybe it was to make the new players he joined in the middle of this season feel more of a sense of belonging to the team. .

Sun Ce felt the benefits of playing well.

In fact, I have to say that being able to trade for the No. 2 pick, and it is the No. 2 pick that was just selected, is a recognition of strength.

After breakfast and rest for a while, Sun Ce ran to the arena again.

Today, Sun Ce obviously felt that there were more people on the side of the road. Yesterday when he ran to the arena, some fans took photos and uploaded them to the website. Today, many onlookers came.

Tonight will play the Clippers at home. A week ago, the Grizzlies challenged the Clippers away and lost 89 to 92. Now that they are back at home, the fans of the home team are looking forward to revenge.

As for Sun Ce, a newcomer, although many fans are dissatisfied with the Grizzlies sending away Thabeet who looks very talented in exchange for a second-round pick, in general, at least the Grizzlies fans in the city of Memphis, They all hope that the team can get better, and of course they also hope that the newcomer Sun Ce can perform well.

Some fans came to take photos with Sun Ce on the way, and Sun Ce was of course happy.

After the fans calmed down, they found that Sun Ce, as a rookie, averaged 11.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 7 assists and 0.6 steals in 27 minutes per game in the first eight games of the rookie season... Although the average of 3.7 turnovers per game is eye-catching, but such data, Great expectations for the fans!

...

"I don't know how the team will arrange my playing time, but I am very confident. I will definitely perform well in the new team. Anyway, I must play better than Gao Yuanyuan..."

When the reporter heard Sun Ce's answer, he felt that Sun Ce was a little different from before. His arrogance was still so arrogant, but before he was talking nonsense, and now he has more confidence.

It's just... who is Gao Yuanyuan that Sun Ce is talking about?

Domestic reporters were at a loss when they heard Sun Ce's reply in Chinese.

Another point is that Sun Ce actually came here by running... The domestic reporters felt that it was weird. They had seen Sun Ce take the subway to play in the arena in Oakland before, and they already thought it was weird.

Sun Ce entered the stadium after being interviewed by domestic reporters and some reporters from Auckland who were blocked outside the parking lot.

"There are quite a few reporters from Jinzhou today..." Sun Ce glanced back at the faces of some reporters who were quite familiar with him a while ago, and thought of the news he saw last night.

Thabeet made his debut against the Celtics on behalf of the Warriors last night, played 19 minutes, and faced the inside combination of Kendrick Perkins and Kevin Garnett. Thabeet made 0 of 7 shots and 2 free throws 0, got 0 points, 0 rebounds and 2 blocks...

Blocking shots is nice, but the rest of the Warriors really can't adapt to Thabeet's speed.

Sun Ce didn't know if the reporter could understand what he said, and he didn't try to explain it, hiding his merits and fame...

However, tonight's game, Sun Ce feels very important! Join the first game of a new team!
