From the videos of the Lakers' first two games, Sun Ce found that the Lakers' style of play is indeed more suitable for this era of encouraging offense. James plays more easily and makes the Lakers' offense smoother.
But the lack of interior defense is not a problem that can be solved by tactics. Vogel is unwilling to use James to defend the interior, but Hibbert's defense is indeed poor. Strong defensive center.
Motiejunas is similar to Jahlil Okafor in Sun Ce's impression. Although he is not as good as Jahlil Okafor, he is gradually less suitable for the NBA of this era. The Grizzlies spend less time on pure positional battles on offense and defense. Later, Motiejunas's role became weaker, and the Lakers used Brandon Buss, Ed Davis, and Tarik Blake more as three mini inside players.
The inside line is a little weak, but these three blue-collar inside lines can pick and roll, and they have good physical fitness and excellent passing ability...
Sun Ce combined the scouting report and his own analysis, recorded it one by one, and prepared to discuss it with the coaching staff and teammates on tomorrow's preparation day.
What hurts Sun Ce now is that in the game against the Lakers the day after tomorrow, as long as Kobe scores at least 13 points, the Grizzlies will be outclassed.
A regular season game, win or lose, will definitely not attract as much attention as the top three changes in the historical scoring list!
"Sitting back and waiting for death" is not Sun Ce's style. He must do things like stealing the limelight!
But how to steal the spotlight?
This is a bit hard to grab. He is second on the NBA's all-time scoring list. This honor is too hard to place on a six-time championship. The night when he surpassed him was definitely a grand event in the entire sports world, not just limited to basketball.
Then change your mind and help Kobe "celebrate"? Or, simply prevent Kobe from scoring at least 13 points?
Just when Sun Ce came up with this idea, the system prompt came!
"Kobe Bryant is about to become second in the all-time scoring list and steal all the limelight in the current basketball world. The host is crazy jealous about this and is unwilling to use it as the background. A-level event: a gift to the legend is triggered."
“Gift to the Legend triggers (A):
Goal 1: The hosts need to limit Kobe Bryant's scoring to less than 13 points in the next game against the Lakers and lead the team to victory.
Goal 2: The hosts need to score more points than LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, and Kobe Bryant combined in the next game against the Lakers, and lead the team to victory.
Event reward: Complete any of the goals and get 1 designated skill upgrade card.
Failure penalty: Randomly deduct one star experience card currently owned or owned in the future. "
This goal... Sun Ce said "Nima" out loud. Are these two goals something that humans can achieve?
There is no need to go into details about the difficulty, but what Sun Ce wants to scold even more is the description of the incident - "What is crazy jealousy? I am the first person in the league, so I need to be jealous of him?"
…
I can’t really call it jealousy, but more of envy. In his long 20-year career, Kobe’s accumulation of data and honors is actually very exaggerated. In addition to the number of MVPs, Kobe ranks in all major improved data lists. At the forefront.
However, although the incident was so difficult that it exploded, Sun Ce felt truly excited.
It can be seen that Leonard has made huge progress from the first two games this year. He has reached the stage of taking off after developing basic skills. Almost all their players from 2008 to 11 have taken off in the past two years. Currently, Leonard is a member of the Lakers. The team's highest scoring player, averaging 26 points per game.
James is as strong as ever. Although he has only been at his peak for a year, his S+ level strength has lasted for who knows how many years.
It is bound to continue, averaging 23 points, 6.5 rebounds and 12.5 assists in the first two games.
On Kobe's side, Sun Ce took a look. He scored 20 points in the opening game and 18 points in the second game. It relied on the Lakers to adjust the focus of their play to the outside. Kobe, as a pure shooter, continued the efficient output of a role player at the end of his career. In the first two games, He averaged 19 points per game, with a shooting percentage of 55% and a three-point shooting percentage of 50%. It will definitely decline, but at least it means that Kobe is in good shape this year.
The first two games were really unpleasant for Sun Ce personally! Just like playing in the preseason, if he wants to truly become the best player in the league both inside and outside, and if he wants to integrate his enhanced low-post skills into his entire style of play, he must have a real strong opponent. Okay, and at the beginning of the season, the Lakers, who are actually very strong after switching to a relatively small lineup, can be used as opponents!
Sun Ce did the math, Kobe + James + Leonard, the three of them currently average 68 points per game... This is crazy, it is better to limit Kobe from scoring 13 points.
But on the milestone night, Kobe will definitely play very hard. Not to mention, the current Kobe and Sun Ce think he can score 60 points even if he is risking his life.
Also, both goals have to win the game. With Kobe's status in the Lakers and James' character, he will definitely work hard to prevent Kobe's milestone from turning into a tragic milestone.
Even if Kobe is restricted from scoring no more than 13 points and loses the game, the incident will still fail.
Sun Ce looked at his prop space and saw three star experience cards... He wasn't afraid of failure, but he wanted that skill upgrade card!
The skyhook, Irving's behind-the-back dribbling turnaround jumper, the overlord dunk, the pick-and-roll executor... He wanted to upgrade all these skills, which were integrated into his playing style and added a lot of help to him.
……
……
Looking at Sun Ce who was eating happily on the opposite side, Kobe touched his pocket. He had brought his wallet. He felt that Sun Ce was going to eat him out of money!
Arrived in Memphis in the morning, rested in the afternoon, and in the evening Kobe and James invited Sun Ce, Paul George, and Klay Thompson to get together. They wanted to invite Leonard to come together.
However, Kobe found that he didn't know Leonard well enough, and he might never really understand what Leonard was thinking. He now found that Leonard didn't come out to attend the All-Stars' gatherings because he felt that his basketball skills were not good enough, but he was not interested in it at all.
But this is not important. During the three consecutive championships with O'Neal, Kobe hardly attended the gatherings of his teammates. Everyone has his own personality, and Kobe respects this.
But Sun Ce didn't expect that the first thing he said when they met was not something else, but directly asked: "Kobe, are you treating me?"
Kobe was a big shot who was willing to spend money to turn on the WIFI, so he didn't refuse. Then he saw Sun Ce ordered a bunch of the most expensive food, as if he wanted to eat him out of money.
While eating and chatting, they didn't talk about anything related to the NBA, but talked about the Olympics next year.
Unlike what Sun Ce remembered, James was going to play in another Olympics, and Kobe also received an invitation and was considering it.
Sun Ce was definitely going to participate. I heard that James was going to participate... I really wanted to play against James in an international competition. James didn't participate in 2010, and in 2012, their Chinese team was not strong and stopped in the semi-finals and only won the bronze medal...
Seeing that Sun Ce and James were talking happily about the Olympics, Kobe's memory suddenly went back to 8 years ago, when he and Yao Ming were chatting during the All-Star Weekend and talked about the time when Yao Ming became more talkative after the Beijing Olympics and the two of them spoke freely.
Before you know it, 8 years have passed, and Kobe is already 37 years old, and will be 38 next summer... Thinking that he will have a chance to surpass Malone and become the second in the scoring list the day after tomorrow, and he is only 1,400 points away from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who is the first in the scoring list, and he may be able to surpass him this season, averaging about 19 points per game. For a moment, Kobe felt that time was passing too fast, and he really didn't want to stay away from basketball after seeing Sun Ce's increasingly strong strength.
Especially after hearing that Sun Ce has become stronger now, Kobe really wants to see how strong Sun Ce, who is theoretically the strongest at the age of 28 or 29, will be.
Kobe has never played against the real peak Jordan, and he doesn't want to miss the opportunity to play against Sun Ce at his peak...
Moreover, Sun Ce can now maintain an average of 30 points per game almost every year, and with Sun Ce's superior physical condition, even if Sun Ce's average points per game declines in the future, there is really a chance that he will play for 20 years in his career... What if he is surpassed after finally winning the first place in historical scoring?
Kobe found an excuse to go to the bathroom, called Jeanie Buss, and answered the question that James, Jeanie Buss, Kupchak, etc. have asked him countless times since the end of last season...
...
On October 22, 2015, after a day of preparation, Kobe's milestone night, which everyone is looking forward to, arrived.
No one would doubt whether Kobe could score 13 points in a single game. Even Kobe, who is 37 years old, did not think he was no longer capable.
There are rumors that Kobe has been avoiding the Lakers management's offer of a contract extension, as if he was ready to retire after playing his career for 20 years. This made Kobe's last season surpassing Malone and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar the most concerned thing for fans all over the world.
Even if you are not his fan, you hope to see the record being broken, which can prove that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's record can be broken, so James, Sun Ce, Durant and others will have hope.
Indeed, more than 38,000 points look like they cannot be broken. After all, even players like Malone have not been able to break the record.
Lakers fans and Kobe fans hope that Kobe can be the best in history in some aspects.
Just when fans were looking forward to and discussing the Lakers vs. Bears battle tonight, a piece of explosive and unexpected news appeared!
Kobe announced in a telephone interview with Sports Illustrated this morning: "I will renew my contract for two years. The specific contract will be discussed after the team's operation is completed next summer. I suddenly found that I don't want to leave. I want to accompany LeBron or Kawhi and watch them win the FMVP. I really want to continue now..."
