One Thousand Seven Hundred and Eighty. Harden Enters the Superstar Realm

Once upon a time, Warriors fans were still comforting themselves - after losing Sun Ce, we later gained Harden and the grown-up Thabeet. If Sun Ce was there, we might have made the playoffs in the first year, and we wouldn't have gotten Leonard or Harden.

But now they find that no matter how much they get later, it can't make up for the stupid move of sending Sun Ce away!

And every year that passes, they will regret it more.

After Sun Ce showed the possibility of becoming an era-level superstar, the Warriors players knew that they could never make up for the loss of Sun Ce.

And now, Sun Ce has gone to Mount Rushmore!

Warriors fans once expected Sun Ce to stop making progress, so they would get more comfort in their hearts. This is human nature, always shining.

But now, they feel that the better Sun Ce plays, the more reasons they have to scold the two owners of the Warriors!

Although he took the blame that year, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it was unlikely that Logo Man made the decision to send Sun Ce away. After Logo Man helped the Warriors create the core outside line combination of Curry + Harden + Iguodala for the championship, the Warriors owner himself admitted that it was he who sent Sun Ce away that year.

Although he gave money, the Warriors owner did not want to be at odds with Logo Man. After all, it would definitely become a thorn in his heart and he had to pull it out. At worst, he would be scolded.

Of course, this was only admitted by the Warriors owner after Harden played well in the 12-13 season, Iguodala was signed, the Warriors had a foundation for the championship, and the scolding that would be encountered became smaller.

But last season and this season, the Warriors played against the Grizzlies for two consecutive years. They lost last time, and this time... they may still lose!

In addition, Sun Ce played the most efficient season in history in the regular season this season. Warriors fans can no longer look directly at their team's operations that year. The Warriors owner was criticized after the first two games of this series.

In this situation, after Sun Ce came to Oakland and saw these local news, if a reporter came to interview him about this issue, he would respond with an idiom - happy to hear and see!

He would not "thank" the Warriors for their previous operations because of the subsequent development. If they were sold off, they were sold off.

After a day of preparation, at 6 pm Eastern Time, which is 3 pm in California, the fourth game of the Bulls and Heat series started.

Sun Ce did not even watch the game, but went directly to warm up.

The start time of their Grizzlies and Warriors game is 5:30 pm in Los Angeles, which is 8 am Beijing time, and the live broadcast time is OK.

The Lakers have a good geographical location and can have a good live broadcast time in both the United States and China. The game starts at 8 pm, which is exactly 11 pm in China. In the past two years, after Kobe and James joined forces, when domestic students were eating in the cafeteria at noon, the most broadcast on the TV in the cafeteria was the Lakers game, that is, the most broadcast on the court TV was the Lakers game, and the popularity even exceeded the Mavericks during the Nowitzki period.

There is no way around it. Although the Grizzlies are known as a Western team, they are geographically close to the Hornets, sandwiched between the East Coast and the South Coast.

At 5:10 p.m., after warming up, Sun Ce and his teammates entered the court together.

…

The Grizzlies substitutes stood on both sides of the player tunnel. Even Blake and Stoudemire, who had no chance to play, stood on both sides of the player tunnel in suits. Including the team's development players, all were recalled. Ding Yanyuhang, JaMychal Green, and Russ Smith, three development players, did not get a second of NBA playing time this year... But the three led the Memphis Struggles to win the first place in the Central and Southern Division of the Development League.

In addition, the three also led the team to beat the Santa Cruz Warriors 2-0 in the semifinals of the playoffs and defeated the Fort Wayne Ants in the finals. JaMychal Green and Ding Yanyuhang were selected for the 14-15 season NBDL Best Rookie Team, and JaMychal Green was also selected for the Development League Best Team First Team and Finals MVP.

The Development League champion is also a champion, and it is also Robert Pera's team. He rewarded three people with 100,000 US dollars each, which can be regarded as making up for the fact that the three people did not appear in the NBA.

However, the reason for calling these three back is not for anything else, but just for the sake of a bonus.

They swept the Warriors in the semifinals. Although it is the Santa Cruz Warriors of the Development League, it is also called the Warriors.

Yesterday, Paul George held an emergency player meeting and said that he would try his best to sweep the Warriors. This matter was not hidden. Although it was not revealed, the coaching staff and management of the team knew it. The coaching staff is also working hard today to discuss and speculate what kind of on-the-spot situations may occur, and it is best to prepare for contingencies.

When Sun Ce ran out of the player tunnel, the boos on the scene reached a boiling point!

This season, it is difficult for Chinese fans to buy tickets when the Grizzlies play the Warriors. Whether it is online, the stadium ticket sales, or scalpers, local fans in Oakland and San Francisco are frantically scrambling for tickets to avoid the situation where their home court becomes Sun Ce's home court.

Anyway, we only play the Grizzlies a few times a year, and the local basketball markets in Oakland and San Francisco are good. After someone called for this to happen, a lot of people participated and it was actually done.

In the past, when Sun Ce came here to play away games, since he scored 58 points in a single game in his rookie season, at least one-third of the fans came to support him. Once he played well, the scene was like his home court. He often played the Warriors the hardest, with cheats and no cheats. Although he didn't win every time, the probability of winning was very high, so this place often became his home court.

But this time, Sun Ce heard the boos... louder than any other time!

In the playoffs, the Warriors fans also united! They really did not allow Sun Ce fans and Grizzlies fans to buy tickets!

"Go ahead and shout, the louder you shout, the more excited I am!"

On the other hand, the Warriors players were encouraged by the boos from the home fans to their opponents when they were waiting to play, and the cheers from the fans at the scene when they played!

In the past, when they played the Grizzlies, they could more or less hear fans cheering for Sun Ce at the scene. There may be some today, but they were drowned out by the Warriors fans.

No one likes to hear fans cheering for their opponents at home, even the Knicks players are not happy, but they have no choice.

Now both teams are eager to defeat each other. There is no communication before the game, and each team is actively making final preparations before the game.

The tactics are almost arranged, and the game will start in 5 minutes. Zu Ge, who came to the away game with Sun Ce, pulled Sun Ce from the bench and told Sun Ce the result of the fourth game between the Bulls and the Heat.

It seems that Paul and the Eastern Conference Finals are out of the question now. The Bulls beat the Heat 101 to 86 and swept 4 to 0.

Sun Ce told his teammates the news, and his teammates suddenly felt the pressure increased! They were also more eager to win this game.

Although they did not publicly express their intention to sweep the opponent like Rose, if it gets out one day and they fail to complete the sweep, it will be too embarrassing!

The key is that their opponents are much stronger than the Bulls' opponents in the East. The Bulls can't meet strong enemies like the Warriors in the East!

To boost morale before the game, Paul George called his teammates together. Without saying anything, a group of people put their hands together and roared! Cheer each other up.

This scene made the Warriors a little confused - why did the opponent act like they were 0-2 behind?

Why did the opponent seem to be more eager to win this game than them? It was obviously the Warriors who would be 0-3 behind if they lost!

At 5:28 in the evening, Sun Ce came to the camera of the technical desk, put on his equipment, applied some magnesium powder, and started with Klay Thompson, Paul George, Aldridge, and Gobert.

When he came to the court, Sun Ce looked at the lineup of the Warriors. The opponent returned to the home court and really did not continue to play the death five small from the beginning. It was a bit unclear about the opponent's routine. They played so well in the last game.

The Warriors sent out the regular starting lineup of Curry, Harden, Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green, and Thabeet.

The scene was already hot, and the fans were cheering for their team crazily. They couldn't afford to lose! If they lost a game, they would fall behind 0-3!

At 5:30 in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air, and the game began!

Thabit beat Gobert to win the jump ball, and the Warriors attacked first!

Harden received the ball and quickly advanced to the frontcourt. Before his formation was stable, the Grizzlies had to follow the Warriors' offensive formation to move their positions. Harden broke into the inside line, and when Sun Ce made up for it, he was blocked by Draymond Green. Harden went straight to the basket, jumped before Klay Thompson made up for it, switched the ball from his left hand to his right hand, and scored two points with a single-handed slam dunk!

The game just started, and Harden showed a different spirit than before!

This ball surprised Sun Ce a little. People will change. Sun Ce compared Harden with the Thunder. Compared with Harden at that time, the current Harden has really changed a lot in the past two years. There is nothing wrong with his personality. The key is the energy on the court. He is becoming more and more like a real superstar. He is no longer like before, relying on Dewey and Curry, but gradually treating his current teammates as "chess pieces" and becoming the helmsman.

Especially in this year's playoffs, in this round of series, it can be seen that Harden's desire to lead the team to victory has become more obvious. In the last game, if he hadn't made that key three-pointer and predicted that Harden wanted to use the threat brought by his two consecutive goals to create an open three-pointer opportunity for Harrison Barnes, the Warriors could at least drag the game into overtime!

And this may have given Harden stronger confidence and motivation!
