One Thousand Eight Hundred and Twenty-Five. The Mini Middle Class Finally Spent the Money!
In addition to acquiring the skill "Fantasy Steps", Sun Ce's low-post singles themselves have also improved tremendously!
Judging from the ability evaluation, it has been half a month since I was promoted to S-level in low post play. I improved from A+ to S-level after two weeks of practice under Olajuwon's guidance.
This is still the role of solid basic skills. On this basis, only with the guidance of the strongest low-post singles master can such obvious progress be achieved.
However, in the next half month, the level of low post play has not changed. He can feel his progress. For example, when training with Olajuwon or Aldridge, it is harder for the opponent to guard him and it is easier for him. Find the shot.
In order to truly transform into his own strength, Sun Ce estimates that he has to practice it in the game. Just like Olajuwon said, find a style of play that suits you and combine the "experience" you heard with the actual situation. Only then can you find your dream steps that truly belong to you.
Also, outside of low-post singles, Sun Ce has made progress in the past month that he didn't even expect!
I don't know if it was brought about by the improvement of core strength, or if it was time for another surge in strength. The last time such a substantial improvement was in the summer of 2012, which was his first leap in strength.
"Ability evaluation S,
Physical fitness A+: speed S-, strength A+, core strength S-, endurance A+, jumping B, static resistance A+, leg explosive power A+ (burst acceleration, bullet speed), explosive resistance ability A+...
Shooting evaluation S: Three-point shot S- (top arc area S-, right sideline S-, left sideline A+), mid-range shot S- (mid-range on the right side of the three-second zone S, mid-range on the bottom line on the right side of the three-second zone S -, free throw line area S-, left side of the three-second zone A+, left baseline of the three-second zone A+), layup S...
Technical evaluation S-: Ball handling S-, passing A, jump shot after pick and roll A+, shooting after dribbling S-, pull-up jump shot A, low post skills S-, high post skills S-, triple threat stance C , Jump step B+, behind-the-back dribbling A, turning skill A, cross step change A..."
Perhaps because his basic skills are solid enough, he has enough game experience, and his core strength has improved. In addition to teaching him the low post, Olajuwon also taught him many tips on how to use his skills in the mid-range... He My shooting has improved tremendously this summer!
In terms of layups, it may be due to the improvement of low post + improvement of core strength + other comprehensive factors. Finally, he has surpassed the final kick and reached the true top level!
In terms of three-pointers, the top arc area and the right sideline have improved the fastest, because Sun Ce focuses on these two areas.
In terms of mid-range shooting, the most improved areas are the front of the basket and the right side of the three-second zone.
This is a matter of habit. Sun Ce is used to practicing the right side first, and then using experience to practice the left side.
In terms of technology, shooting after dribbling and high and low post plays have all reached the top edge level. As for other skills, there is little progress. Without practice, there will be no progress. Moreover, some skills have been proven, and talent ends. After all, everyone The situation is different. Some things don’t just require hard work. Sun Ce must choose the technology that suits him for development.
Looking at the S-level ability evaluation... Sun Ce knew that this was not just the result of this month's hard work. It was his training and competition experience over the long period of time since he broke through to the S-level, and he strengthened training based on the competition experience. , know your own weaknesses in the competition, and strengthen targeted training in the summer...
His strength was achieved after going through a long process and training unremittingly. The process was actually quite difficult, but the excitement of seeing his clear improvement every time was one of the motivations for Sun Ce to persevere.
Just when Sun Ce was excited about getting a new skill, good news came from the team, the mini mid-level player was released!
…
On August 21, 2015, U.S. time, the Grizzlies officially announced that they had signed point guard Mo Williams, who played with the Timberwolves last season, on a 1+1 mini-middle class special case with a player option.
A press conference was held in the afternoon, and the Grizzlies management was beaming...
This makes Mo Williams a little uncomfortable. Although he averaged 14.2 points and 6.2 assists per game with the Timberwolves last season, and had a spectacular 52 points in a single game... there was no splash. Both the Bears and Sun Ce lost their luster due to their performance.
But he shot only 39% from the field and averaged 12.6 shots per game to achieve such data.
Therefore, the highest offer he received this summer was a full mid-level offer, and it was from a bad team. If he wanted to compete for the championship, he had to take a salary cut.
Moreover, no championship team really thinks highly of him, and they are worried that he will affect others. After all, his style of play is a bit too much.
After receiving the invitation to meet with the Grizzlies, Mo Williams was excited and ecstatic. He was ready to join with a minimum salary. After all, David West and Sessions were worth more than him. , but they are all basic salaries.
At the beginning of August, the Grizzlies signed Andrea Bargnani, the Italian No. 1 draft pick who played for the Knicks last season. He averaged 14.4 points and 4.4 rebounds per game last season and earned a minimum salary.
However, after the meeting, Mo Williams still tried to ask for the mini-mid class. Why not take it if he could get more money? The Grizzlies already have 14 players. The mini-mid class is not needed. It will automatically expire after the trade deadline.
But Mo Williams just gave it a try. He was really ready to get the basic salary, but the other party agreed and seemed to want him to get the mini-middle class share more than he did...
This is also the first time for Chris Wallace to feel like a rich man who has money but no place to spend it. It’s not that he doesn’t feel bad if he doesn’t spend his own money, but that this summer, in addition to signing Gerald Green, he will definitely be In addition to the basic salary, he originally planned to give several other players to the mini-middle class.
Especially David West, who took the initiative to pitch in the first place. For such a veteran, Chris Wallace definitely wanted to give him the biggest contract he could.
But the other party can just ask for a basic salary. He doesn't want more than 10 million. He doesn't lack the more than 2 million. He wants to help the Grizzlies save the special case so that the subsequent signings can go more smoothly. After all, not everyone doesn't care about money. It's just that he doesn't care about money. Ste doesn't care.
Previously, Aldridge was worried that his salary would exceed that of Sun Ce, and wanted to help the team reduce the total salary to below the luxury tax threshold in the summer of 2016. Later, David West did not even want to give him any money. Save special cases to help the team recruit...
Chris Wallace didn't know what kind of bad luck he had. He met two people like this who only come across once in ten years!
Look at the Timberwolves. They want Garnett to stay and play for one more year, and to coach Karl Towns, the No. 1 pick. Garnett asked for a two-year contract worth $20 million, and there is news. Rumor has it that Garnett is planning to retire next year... and he will have to pay for his retirement!
Also, Klay Thompson completed the contract extension ahead of schedule and did not want to re-sign the agreement because the salary cap increased. In the next five years, he will earn 5 million less than Leonard and Jimmy Butler... At this time, Rhys-Wallace also thought about Sun Ce's failure to ask for a clause to re-sign the contract in 2016.
Chris Wallace actually used to think that last season was too incredible, but now it seems that this is a group of top stars who are not only willing to sacrifice on the court, but also in terms of personal interests. Only by coming together can they accomplish such a great feat!
However, after coming, Sessions and Bargnani directly asked for a basic salary, hoping to win the championship with the team. The middle class is not interested! This makes Chris Wallace very frustrated. Both of these two can get contracts worth seven to eight million!
It's not easy for someone to take the initiative to ask for a mini-middle class. Of course, Chris Wallace agreed to Mo Williams without hesitation. He had the guts to use this mini-middle class and he would be sorry. David West gave up on his own initiative, so that's fine. It feels like I got more than 2 million more.
Mo Williams didn't know what to say to the Grizzlies management's sentiments. He felt like he was getting a bargain...but it was weird to get a bargain!
He had heard before that the Grizzlies were a bit special, but looking at it now, it shouldn't be described as special, but weird.
If you spend more than 2 million more, you will have to pay more than 2 million US dollars in luxury tax. Are you still so happy?
If he hadn't signed the contract after the medical examination on the same day, Mo Williams really wanted to tell Chris Wallace - I want a minimum salary!

"Me, Sessions, Mo Buchuan, Buddha, Teacher Tony, Flying Man, Pickled Pepper, Nine-finger Dunk King, Hei Panda, Dashuai Bi, Yi Muhualian, Nance Jr., Italian Flying Center, West, Go Guanfeng...the only serious center is Ge Guanfeng..."
The recruitment of the own team has come to an end and the recruitment target has been successfully achieved. That is to say, while retaining their core lineup, they have recruited a group of functional players with very personal characteristics.
It is impossible to find players like Livingston, Pierce, and Larry Sanders. When Sun Ce discussed with the management, they came to the conclusion that they should build appropriate functional players around the core lineup. These players do not need to be particularly strong, because it is difficult for strong players, except veterans, to accept a basic salary, but they need to have characteristics that suit them.
And Sessions, Mo Williams, Bargnani, Gerald Green...especially David West are actually better than expected.
The signings have been completed. The specific situation will not be known until the training camp, preseason or even the regular season.
Sun Ce calmed down again and devoted himself to training. There were still three weeks of training left, so he had to improve himself as much as possible.
If you want to break through to the S+ level, these three weeks are definitely impossible, but it is also necessary to consolidate and consolidate the training results. Moreover, the overall ability evaluation cannot be improved. In addition to consolidating the existing training results, you can use the previous skills. Review it carefully and continue to strengthen the shooting areas that have not yet been strengthened.
