One Thousand Eight Hundred and Forty-Six. The Warriors, Born at the Wrong Time

Originally, after the Warriors started with 19 consecutive wins, not many people thought there was any suspense about the Western Conference Player of the Month award in the first game month.

Just like last season, no matter how well the players of other Western teams performed, they could not shake Sun Ce's Player of the Month award.

However, Sun Ce played and led the team to a record of 16 wins and 2 losses... When fans distinguished this season's Grizzlies from last season's Grizzlies, no longer felt that the Grizzlies' loss was unacceptable, and began to discover the good of this team, the changes made by this team based on reality and the excellent performance, they found that the Grizzlies' performance was really excellent!

When the Grizzlies were no longer discussed and distinguished from last season's 75 wins, the 16 wins and 2 losses start was really perfect, but it was just a coincidence that another team with 19 consecutive wins appeared.

The opening performance, which was already very good and ranked at the forefront of history, and Sun Ce's personal outstanding performance, in the last 10 days of the first game month of 45 days, Sun Ce shook Curry's original unshakable first month's Player of the Month award!

If the Grizzlies continue this performance, and Sun Ce continues this performance, it is not that there is no chance to compete with Curry for the first month's Player of the Month award!

Just like last season, many people have been looking forward to someone ending Sun Ce's dominance in the Player of the Month award and the Grizzlies' dominance, "authority" is something that there are always countless people who want to see them challenged.

The only difference is that last season, Sun Ce combined with the team's performance, played the best efficiency in history, and the team also played the best record in history, which is unshakable.

But this season, Curry can be shaken!

After Sun Ce scored 40+ in three consecutive games, he became the candidate most likely to beat Curry and win the first month's Player of the Month in people's minds!

The key is to see how the Warriors' remaining three games this month and the Grizzlies' remaining four games this month turn out, because the two superstars' individual performances are very good. Sun Ce wins in data, while Curry wins in the 180 Club's high three-point shooting percentage and the terrible efficiency brought by the high three-point shooting number.

...

Sun Ce is more eager than anyone to beat Curry and win the best player of the month!

He knows that Curry must be trying hard to compete with him, so he dare not relax at all.

After returning to Memphis and resting for a night, the Grizzlies ushered in the challenge of the Clippers.

For the Clippers,

Sun Ce has paid more or less attention. This team has a strange feature this year, that is, it performs very well during the live broadcast across the United States! The Warriors went into overtime, the Lakers were dragged to the last moment and were defeated by James's layup, and the Thunder were upset!

Sun Ce discovered that there are many players in the NBA who are born for national live broadcast. Wiggins not only has the potential to play health-preserving basketball, but also has the tendency to be born for national live broadcast. This reminds Sun Ce of the original time and space when Wiggins in the Timberwolves played James and was always excited. He played more than 10 times and had a super high hit rate of 54+48. These games were often due to James's national live broadcast. Wiggins' lowest score against James was 19 points, showing a wave of talent.

Then when playing against other opponents, Wiggins looked like a health-preserving old man.

However, because Wiggins is so talented, people seem to see Gay back then, and expect Wiggins not to waste his talent like Gay in the critical growth period of his rookie contract, and to show his talent like Paul George.

This season, the Clippers have left the ranks of the top pick contenders. They are currently 7 wins and 12 losses. The record is not very good, but it is much better than last season.

The addition of Russell and Jokic, coupled with Wiggins, whose talent is visible to the naked eye, does seem to want to do big things.

Sun Ce learned from the scout report that many players of the Clippers played well this year because they saw hope. Even Jamal Crawford became active again. So far this season, three players have completed 50+ in a single game, one is Sun Ce, one is Curry, and the other is Jamal Crawford.

In the upset victory over the Thunder, Jamal Crawford made 19 of 30 shots, including 7 of 10 three-pointers, plus 7 of 7 free throws, and scored 52 points.

Russell averaged 14 points and 6 assists per game, Wiggins averaged 20.6 points per game, Jokic averaged 9.1 points, 8 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game, Jamal Crawford averaged 15 points per game, and Redick averaged 16.3 points per game.

Sun Ce dared not be careless with such a team. From the perspective of record, the Clippers were the worst of their 4 games at the end of the month, but such a team with three geniuses could really capsize like the Thunder if they were not careful!

At 6:30 in the evening, the Grizzlies played against the Clippers at home.

Unlike the game against the Spurs, Coach Hollins' tactics and Sun Ce's personal intentions tonight were all soaring from the beginning!

Sun Ce played for 40 minutes, 20 of 34 shots, including 2 of 6 three-pointers, 9 of 10 free throws, and soared 51 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks, letting Russell, Wiggins and Jokic feel what it means to be the strongest.

Although Wiggins worked hard to get 20 points, Jokic got 13 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists, Russell got 22 points and 4 assists, Redick, Jamal Crawford and Wesley Johnson all scored more than 10 points, and the Clippers scored 111 points, but the Grizzlies, led by Sun Ce, soared 124 points!

124 to 111, the Grizzlies won 5 consecutive games and improved their record to 17 wins and 2 losses!

Sun Ce scored 50+ points in a single game for the second time this season, and at the same time, the number of consecutive 40+ games increased to 4 times!

…

The journey to try to defeat the Warriors' star Curry, who was invincible at the beginning, was in full swing. On November 25, the Grizzlies welcomed the challenge of the Knicks at home.

Unlike the expected running and gunning battle, the Knicks took the initiative to start a defensive battle!

In the summer, the Knicks signed two defensive stalwarts, Lance Thomas and Afflalo. On the basis of Dragic, Chandler Parsons, Ariza, and Howard, they do have such capital.

D'Antoni is really interesting. The Knicks have done a good job on defense this year, but this cannot stop Sun Ce, who has been in great form recently. It was another beautiful second-half reversal. In the first half, the Grizzlies were 7 points behind 44 to 51, but in the second half, with the shining performance of Sun Ce and Klay Thompson's Splash Brothers, the Grizzlies scored 59 to 47.

Sun Ce made 16 of 36 shots, including 3 of 12 three-pointers and 10 of 13 free throws, scoring 43 points, 16 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block. Klay Thompson made 7 of 13 shots and scored 20 points. Under the leadership of the two, the Grizzlies reversed and won 103 to 98, winning 6 consecutive victories!

The 30th time in the regular season that he scored 20 irons in a single game... But it cannot cover up Sun Ce's outstanding performance, 40+ in 5 consecutive games! Among them, he scored 27 points in the second half with 10 of 20 shots, which was indeed a good performance.

…

After the game with the Knicks, the Grizzlies welcomed the last opponent of the three-game home run. The Raptors, who currently have a record of 16 wins and 4 losses and surpass the Bulls to rank first in the Eastern Conference.

From various perspectives, the Raptors should be the Grizzlies' strongest opponent at the end of November.

But the process and results of the game... are completely different!

When a team's star player only scored 16 points in 24 shots, how should his teammates play?

Gasol scored 22 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists with 8 of 10 shots, and Lowry scored 25 points and 5 assists with 8 of 14 shots, but DeRozan withered when he played against the Grizzlies. Gasol and Lowry felt bitter! Every time they finally narrowed the gap and led the team to a climax, DeRozan started to compete with the Grizzlies' double 3D.

It's okay if they win the competition, but the key is that DeRozan can't beat any of the two brothers on the Grizzlies!

With the help of his best sixth man DeRozan, Sun Ce played very easily tonight, making 15 of 25 shots, including 4 of 6 three-pointers and 6 of 7 free throws. He played the best shooting performance in recent games, scoring 40 points, 13 rebounds, 13 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, and won the second triple-double of the season and the 24th 40+ triple-double in the regular season of his career, helping the Grizzlies to slaughter the Raptors 122-101 and win 7 consecutive games!

…

How sad it would be for a team to be robbed of the limelight after starting with 21 consecutive wins?

The Warriors encountered this situation!

Curry also averaged 30+ per game, becoming one of the only two players averaging 30+ per game this season. Harden averaged 23+7+8 per game, and Draymond Green also took a step further in the competition for the best defensive player. With a record of not losing a game, that's it, they are still suppressed by Sun Ce in terms of attention!

Not counting the 7 games in October, Sun Ce averaged 41.5 points in the 14 games in November. As long as Sun Ce doesn't play too badly in the last game, he can average 40+ points in a single month!

Who was the last player to average 40+ points in a single month? Kobe in January 2016. Before that, it was Kobe in February 2003. In addition to Kobe, only two people have done it. Chamberlain has averaged 40+ points in a single month 5 times, including 3 times averaging 50+ points in a single month and 1 time averaging 60+ points in a single month. Another person is the most famous runner-up in history, Baylor, who has done it once.

Sun Ce is likely to become the fourth player in NBA history to average 40+ points in a single month, which even Jordan has never done!

In this situation, even passers-by feel that the Warriors are "born at the wrong time" and met Sun Ce in what may be their most glorious year!

The key is that on November 28, when the Warriors played against the Suns in the last game of the first game month, the Warriors lost to the Suns 104-108, suffering the worst defeat so far this season!

The Warriors were very impatient at the beginning of this game, and seemed to want to knock the Suns down at once, but the Suns are a team competing in the Western Conference playoffs after all, and they can't be underestimated. Antetokounmpo scored 13 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, helping Jordan get 28 points, 22 rebounds and 4 blocks, Clarkson and Jeff Green both scored 18 points, helping the Suns end the Warriors' 21-game winning streak!
