One Thousand Eight Hundred and Thirty-Nine. A Difficult but Necessary Goal
Sun Ce scored 50+ in three quarters against the Lakers' front line defense, and got 50+ in three quarters for the sixth time in his career, but he still failed to steal Kobe's limelight.
In basketball, the most direct way to reflect a player's strength is scoring. Basketball is a sport where the team with the highest score wins.
Sun Ce felt that the league arranged the schedule intentionally. It was definitely based on Kobe's expected score and the score gap from the second place, and deliberately arranged the Grizzlies at the last chance to witness Kobe's second place in the scoring list.
But at least he got some headlines, because he tied Kobe's NBA record of 6 three quarters of 50+ in his career, but this thing is still a lot less important than the second place in the historical scoring list.
Fortunately, Sun Ce has a "consolation prize".
"Gift for Legend Trigger (A):
Goal 1: The host needs to limit Kobe Bryant's score to less than 13 points in the next game against the Lakers, and lead the team to victory. (Kobe Bryant's score: 20 points, failed.)
Goal 2: The host needs to score higher than the total of LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, and Kobe Bryant in the next game against the Lakers, and lead the team to victory. (Host score: 54 points, Kobe Bryant score: 20 points, LeBron James score: 17 points, Kawhi Leonard score: 14 points, completed.)
Congratulations to the host for obtaining: 1 designated skill upgrade card."
The reward is quite good, and Sun Ce also knows that he has taken advantage of it. The Lakers' rotation lineup has changed greatly. James' favorite pick-and-roll players Boozer and Nene are gone. The Lakers don't want to continue to fight for positional offense and defense. They want to play a more relaxed offense and use the flanks to defend, but it's not ready yet.
The Grizzlies played so well in this game, Sun had such good scoring opportunities, and made outstanding contributions on the defensive end, all thanks to the 9 core lineups that stayed after the end of last season.
But Sun Ce also guessed that the Lakers wanted to make changes, adjust the style of play and lineup to a core combination more suitable for James + Leonard, and Kobe's role was completely transformed into a role player, and Kobe did a good job.
Thinking that the Lakers only need to wait for Hibbert's contract to expire and sign a lot of one-year short contracts to wait for the salary cap to soar next summer, they may make trouble... Sun Ce was a little excited!
Playing against Leonard, Sun Ce felt that he had really improved, and also understood some of his shortcomings. He could have played better when Leonard was caught off guard, but he didn't do it. This was his personal problem, and he needed to adjust. Otherwise, their dominant performance in the first three quarters was unlikely to be closely followed by the Lakers, who were still in the adjustment stage.
Also, Sun Ce saw the sensation caused by Kobe's second place in the all-time scoring list... He was really envious and really wanted to catch up in this regard. He now really felt that he would be able to rush up one day, and his goal was to be the first in the scoring list!
Looking at the skill "Unfading" in "Humility", he felt that when Little Gohan entered the NBA, he should be able to break it.
Little Gohan, Little Goten, and Little Fang are all in great shape!
Sun Ce did not participate in the post-match interview. Paul George was happier than anyone else to see Kobe surpass Malone. He also expressed his expectation that Kobe would surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar after the game. Those who didn't know would think that his No. 24 jersey was stolen from the Lakers.
Back home, Lily Collins was coaxing the twins to sleep, and Zugoose had already gone to sleep with Little Gohan in his arms, fearing that this unreliable and unlucky brother would wake Little Gohan up early in the morning.
However, the two girls had already prepared the water for him to take a bath, and started the constant temperature bathtub. Sun Ce returned to the room to take a bath, looking at his skills... Which one to upgrade was really a headache.
Random upgrade cards were worried that the random upgrade would have a low probability of use or no matching skills at all, and designated upgrade cards were difficult to choose.
Sun Ce well interpreted the habits of the contemporary stinky youth.
After hesitating again and again, Sun Ce decided to upgrade the most basic skill, that is, the skill of "mistakes" that had been integrated into his playing style.
With a thought, the system prompt came.
"The host uses the designated skill upgrade card, and the designated skill is: Error.
Congratulations to the host, the skill: Error has been upgraded from level 3 to level 4."
"Error level 4:
Offense:
1. When the host faces a player with a height difference of 5 cm, if the host chooses to play one-on-one, the shooting force effect caused by turning, turning, leaning back, stepping jump shots and other defensive actions will be slightly reduced.
2. When the host encounters a switching opponent or a double-teaming opponent in the team offense, and there is a player with a height difference of 5 cm between the host and the host, when the host chooses to shoot, the shooting force effect caused by turning, turning, leaning back, stepping jump shots and other defensive actions will be slightly reduced.
Defense:
1. When the height difference between the host and the defended object reaches 5 cm, the host's jumping height and bounce speed will both increase by 1 small level.
2. When the height difference between the host and the defended object reaches 5 cm, the host's lateral burst acceleration will be temporarily increased by 1 small level.
Note: It can be upgraded through skill upgrade cards or random skill upgrade cards."
Sun Ce knew that it was right to upgrade this skill. The bonus of this skill has been completely integrated into Sun's playing style. Without this skill, he will be greatly affected on both offense and defense. He can only re-adapt to the game and re-adapt to the game. Adjusting technical training... can only be solved by other methods, and it may not be solved. After all, his playing style and skills in the game are based on physical conditions, especially when facing opponents with large differences in body shape. when.
The key is that he often encounters players with a height difference of 5 centimeters, including Leonard.
After upgrading his skills, Sun Ce took a bath for a while. After Lily Collins put the two children to sleep, they came to the bathroom to take a bath. While they were taking off their clothes, Sun Ce secretly came up from behind and picked her up. The sound insulation effect was excellent. There were screams and subsequent snorts from the bathroom...

For the Lakers, Kobe surpassed Malone to become second in the scoring list. The media and fans are hotly discussing whether Kobe can break Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's historical scoring record this season.
The general public opinion is that Kobe will not challenge this season. Looking at Kobe's further extreme role player-like catch-and-shoot style, he doesn't even rush to shoot the key ball, leaving it to Leonard to score or not. This is the case. Maybe in the middle and late seasons of the season, when James connects the team and Leonard's main attack style is better adjusted, Kobe's scoring will further decline, so it is unlikely that Kobe will be able to break the record this season, because then You have to average 18.5 points per game.
Kobe's choice to renew his contract for two years gave himself the best escape route and avoided changes in the team's system because he wanted to break the historical scoring record or the Lakers wanted him to break the historical scoring record.
Before Kobe decided to renew his contract, he had been exposed countless times, and some experts suggested that if Kobe chooses to retire after this season, it will affect the changes in the Lakers' system, because if Kobe retires, if he is one step away from the top of the scoring list, In the near future, the Lakers will definitely have to make do with him, which will not be conducive to renewing James' contract and cultivating Leonard.
Therefore, the Lakers have always wanted Kobe to make a decision to renew his contract in advance. Of course, they also want to accept his fate in advance. If Kobe does not retire, they will really try their best to let Kobe break the historical scoring record this season.
But since Kobe has chosen to renew his contract, it doesn't matter. After nearly three seasons, 1,400 points is nothing at all! Then there is no need to take extra care of Kobe, just change the team system normally.
The Lakers' three-game losing streak in the beginning is still dominating public opinion. Sun Ce watched the news... I didn't expect that whether Kobe Bryant would renew his contract would have such an impact, but it had nothing to do with the Grizzlies. They were leaving for Sacramento. On the way, they started with three consecutive home games, and then started a schedule of consecutive alternating away and home games.
The schedule is very easy, but the Grizzlies have a lot to do. The opponent at the beginning looks good. If it were last season, it would definitely be a good game to test the strength of the Grizzlies and find their own loopholes. But the first two games It was easy to win the game. In the third game, Coach Hollins didn’t want to see the opponent complete the milestone and let the opponent take advantage of the situation to win, so he mainly used the 9 core players who stayed on the team after last season, so he still couldn’t deal with the brand new players. What is the running-in effect of the lineup?
The next thing will be different. Starting from the game against the Kings, the rotation plan will begin!
This is the most direct and simple way for new players to verify their integration through games, find problems and find ways to solve them, and then try to seek changes if they cannot be solved!
Sun Ce also needs to make adjustments personally. When he played against Leonard, he felt that Leonard was trying to make changes based on the changes in Sun Ce's playing style, and his defensive effect was getting better and better. You also have to further improve yourself through competition.
He feels that he has become more "independent" in high and low posts than before, which is not a good thing. He hopes that he can be like Kobe, Jordan, Olajuwon, and Duncan in their peak periods, without having to do anything deliberately. Be prepared to make appropriate choices at any time based on the situation.
Sun Ce has been studying the characteristics of those superstars. He did not just practice, but worked hard on thinking. The combination of theory and practice is the most important. He found that those superstars entered the peak period and ended at the end of the peak period. They are one level better than most of the super giants of the same era, and the difference before was in the connection of technology.
This is difficult. Sun Ce estimates that if he can overcome this obstacle that he has been unable to overcome for many years, then his performance on the court will not lose to Kobe, James, Duncan and others in their peak seasons! Although difficult, this is his goal at this stage.
He knows that his improvement means the improvement of the team!
