One Thousand Seven Hundred and Seventy-Eight. This Is the Stage for Superstars

This is a qualitative change!

Those top players with growth potential will make a leap forward when they are 25 or 26 years old, such as Lowry and Dragic. They have nothing to do with superstars, but they were very ordinary in the first five or six years of their careers. They made a leap forward when they were 25 or 26 years old, became starters, and then had All-Star level strength.

This season, Sun Ce's growth is not about technology... Although his technical improvement in the middle of the season has made others feel incredible, it has been many years since he was able to improve during the season.

His biggest growth is what he showed during the regular season - stability, the use of his own technology, and his ability to use teammates has become stronger!

There is also a change in the team's use of him. In the past, he needed to do a lot of things to help his teammates. The progress of the double 3D and Yi Jianlian, Larry Sanders and others, and the addition of better teammates such as Aldridge, Carter, and Pierce, all reduced his burden in this regard, allowing him to make more use of his teammates' abilities.

All factors combined together, allowing Sun Ce to feel his own progress in the game that could not be reflected by the system's ability evaluation value!

Also, thinking of using Medica to trade for a single-game 60 points and win the game, Sun Ce felt it was worth it!

Not only in the regular season, but also in the playoffs, he began to leave his name on major lists!

He has scored 50+ in a single game in the playoffs 6 times, and is one step closer to the historical record of 8 single-game 50+ in the playoffs by Boss Joe!

Maybe next season? Maybe this season? Another first place on the list will fall into the hands of Sun!

Putting this aside first, Sun Ce reviewed the first round of this year and found some problems.

Through tonight's game and the situation that Sun learned in the first round, he found that it was not feasible to play against the Warriors, Spurs, Mavericks and other teams in a team style!

In the last round, the Spurs and Mavericks played a team style, and both teams had no advantage at all. The small gap in strength was only one aspect. The most important thing was that it was difficult to gain an advantage over them with a team style when playing against a team like them. When they played against each other, neither side had an advantage.

The main reason is that although Duncan is still efficient, it is unlikely that he can open up the situation like he did when he was young. He can do it in one or two games occasionally, but it is difficult for Duncan, who is already 39 years old, to do it in a series.

And Gay, who was able to average 20+ points per game in his second year, wasted the most years of his career.

In the end, he only improved to the quasi-top level of A+. Parker and Ginobili are getting older, and Rondo's scoring is not very good...

The situation is similar for the Mavericks. Bosh is not the type of player who can attack, Nowitzki is getting older, Conley is not a superstar, and Ellis's talent ceiling is there...

The same is true for the Warriors!

The Thunder won three games against the Warriors in the last round, not by team play, but by superstar ball!

The Grizzlies just finished this game and met Steve Kerr, who dared to try. The Warriors are strong overall, and the lineup structure allows Steve Kerr's tactics and strategies to be stably implemented.

If the Grizzlies were stubborn and kept playing team play in this game, they might really lose!

Sun Ce discovered one thing - in the playoffs, to deal with a team with a strong team style, you still have to rely on superstars! At least that's the case with the Grizzlies!

...

...

Sun Ce's 60 points in a single game caused quite a stir among the teams in the league.

The stars of each team found that they still underestimated Sun Ce!

This may really be a player who will dominate an era like Jordan, Russell, and Magic Bird!

Moreover, he may be even more terrifying than these people!

Every time they think that Sun Ce's performance is terrifying enough and has exceeded their expectations, Sun Ce will tell them with practical actions - it's still a long time!

Faced with Sun Ce's already revealed dominance, the stars of each team naturally have different ideas.

On the Raptors side, DeRozan didn't even think about competing with Sun Ce, and secretly felt lucky that he was not in the same division as the Grizzlies and only played against them twice a year.

Lawson was watching the news about this player from the same class. He once thought about competing with Sun Ce, but now he no longer has such an idea. He even wanted to give a thumbs up to this player from the same class. Because of the performance of Sun Ce, Curry, Evans, Harden, Griffin, etc., the 2009 rookies are becoming more and more famous. Lawson, who was once one of the "Top Ten Point Guard Stars", is also often mentioned.

There are those who accept their fate, represented by DeRozan and Lawson, and those who do not accept their fate, such as Curry, Harden, Griffin, Rose, James, Westbrook, Irving, Anthony Davis, etc.

Maybe one person cannot beat Sun Ce, but there are ways!

There is always a chance to defeat Sun Ce, it depends on whether you can seize the opportunity!

Of course, there are also people like Durant and Evans who look at Sun Ce with a normal heart. Their thoughts are difficult for others to understand, but the world is so big that there are people with all kinds of personalities.

Time will not stop because of Sun Ce's earth-shattering 60 points in a single game. The playoffs are in full swing.

Last night, after the game between the Grizzlies and the Warriors, the 76ers returned to their home court and beat the Hawks 104-97, winning 3-0 and looking like they were going to sweep the Hawks!

The Warriors have Curry and Harden, and the Spurs have Duncan as the core. Their team play is stronger than that of ordinary superstars. Only by playing as a team can they compete with those teams with excellent overall strength and superstars, and then win.

But the Hawks don't have that. Facing the 76ers, who have strong overall strength and Evans and Gasol, the Hawks don't lose to the 76ers in regular time, but when it comes to the offensive moment, the Hawks are out of food.

Today, on the morning of May 11, Sun Ce set off with his teammates and came to Oakland. Today and tomorrow are the only two days of rest in the series because of the alternation of home and away games.

From a certain perspective, now is the time for the Warriors. The Warriors have enough time to prepare for the next two home games.

Of course, the Grizzlies also have time to prepare, but they are more prepared to respond to the moves. The mentality of winners and losers is always different.

But it's no big deal. Sun Ce saw his teammates again today and clearly felt that his teammates' confidence in the game has increased!

Sun Ce knew that this was because of his performance last night!

…

At 6 pm, the third game of the series between the Bulls and the Heat started. This time, the Bulls were indeed much stronger than the Heat. The Heat could beat the Raptors. The Raptors were not a strong team in the playoffs. They were strong in the regular season and had stars, but the strongest star withered in the playoffs.

The Chicago duo's style of play was very suitable for the playoffs!

Relying on Rose's points, 8 assists and 3 steals, Paul played hard enough, and Griffin scored 27 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists, and blew up the inside line composed of Josh Smith and Jordan Hill.

With the performance of the duo of 50 points and 12 assists, the Bulls defeated the Heat 103-89 away, making the score 3-0!

The first two games have clearly shown the gap in strength between the two teams. Unlike the Warriors, who have the strength to compete with the Grizzlies, not many people think that the Heat can take the initiative when they return to their home court. The gap in strength between the two teams is indeed large!

Even if the Bulls go to the West, they are definitely one of the top teams, and the Heat can only bully DeRozan in the East.

The highlight of tonight is the Lakers vs. Spurs game!

A few days ago, the Spurs defeated the Lakers away from home and took away the home advantage. What kind of counterattack will the Lakers have? Can the Spurs hold on to the advantage they have taken back?

At 8:30 in the evening, the game between the Lakers and the Spurs started.

Many people thought that the Lakers would explode after losing the home advantage, but the Lakers had an extremely difficult time on the road!

Rondo and Duncan, the two playoff bigwigs, performed extremely well tonight!

Duncan scored 21 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks, Rondo scored 9 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, Dio also scored 13 points and 4 assists in cooperation with Rondo, Parker scored 15 points, Ginobili scored 9 points in a row and only scored 9 points in the whole game, plus the team's leading scorer Gay's 27 points, overwhelmed Kobe who scored 25 points, James who scored 33 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists, and Leonard who scored 17 points!

117 to 111, the Spurs defended the first home court and made the score 2 to 1!

…

The core combination of Rondo and Dio, who can take on the heavy responsibility when the starting lineup with Duncan and Parker as the core and Gay as the main scorer rotates and rests, and plays no worse than the core of Duncan and Parker in the starting lineup, coupled with Ginobili's key performance of scoring 9 points in a row when the Lakers started in the third quarter to hold off the Lakers' momentum of chasing points...

Why does Sun Ce feel that the Spurs are one year older than the playoffs last season?

The NBA fashion godfather is really poisonous!

When Sun Ce watched the live broadcast, he saw that when Rondo was on the court, Duncan took the initiative to give up his power to play pick-and-roll mid-range shots, and distributed more physical strength to the defensive end. Although he failed to defend James this time, he gave stronger suppression to the inside players such as Nene who cut in and Boozer who played low singles!

However, this will not affect him for the time being. If he reaches the Western Conference Finals, whether it is the Lakers or the Spurs, it will be enough to make Sun Ce excited. They are both teams he is eager to play in the playoffs!

Sun Ce even felt a little "arrogant" in his heart. He extremely wanted the two teams to play at their best level... He didn't know why, or when it started, but he just wanted to play against those top teams in their best form. He just wanted stronger opponents to appear!
