One Thousand Eight Hundred and Sixty-Five. This Is Definitely Not a Comfort!

On January 2, the Grizzlies played the Pelicans in their first back-to-back away game.

At 12 noon, the NBA officially announced the results of the first round of All-Star voting. Sun Ce was not interested at first, but Paul George was worried about whether he could make the All-Star starting lineup and pulled Sun Ce to watch together.

If he is not among the top three forwards in the Western Conference, Paul George can still drink his third brother's chicken soup to comfort himself.

"The Western Conference forwards are coming out, the third brother, LeBron... the third one is not me!"

Paul George looked at the list of forwards, but it took him the fourth to find himself!

Although he beat Durant in the number of votes, there were still three people in front of him!

Sun Ce didn't think it was a surprise that Paul George was selected as the All-Star starter. Last season, Paul George's popularity surpassed Durant, so he didn't pay much attention when he was pulled to see the first voting results.

Hearing Paul George's scream, Sun Ce turned his attention from his mobile phone to the computer monitor.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t see it, you will be shocked when you see it!

Duncan, who is older than the head coach of the Celtics, ranked third in the Western frontcourt with 440,000 votes, beating Paul George with 310,000 votes and Durant with 270,000 votes!

This is already a big lead!

Sun Ce checked the search engine. Recently, Duncan ranked 8th in searches for North American athletes, one place higher than James and only one place behind Kobe!

Sun Ce ranked first in the Western Conference frontcourt with 570,000 votes, James ranked second with 470,000 votes, and Duncan ranked third.

In terms of the Western Conference backcourt, Kobe ranked first with 620,000 votes, and Curry ranked second with 610,000 votes.

Sun Ce thinks that too many votes were taken away from the frontcourt in the Western Conference. On the back line, Harden and Westbrook are quite popular, but they are not popular superstars, but more like powerful superstars. Regardless of Sun Ce's impression In the original time and space, or in this time and space, as long as Kobe did not retire, neither of these two people would be voted into the All-Star starting lineup.

In terms of the Eastern frontcourt, Evans ranked first with 550,000 votes, Griffin ranked second with 530,000 votes, and Gasol beat his brother to rank third with 390,000 votes.

In terms of the backcourt, Rose ranked first with 480,000 votes, and Lowry ranked second with 330,000 votes. Wall feels like his prototype has been exposed this year. His data does not help the Wizards win. He started to fall behind as a star starter.

However, Lowry's high number of votes has a lot to do with the popular Canadian idol Justin Bieber's canvassing for votes.

Watching Paul George doubt his life... Sun Ce suddenly remembered that Duncan was frequently searched after the Christmas concert. The main reason was that Duncan's girlfriend Vanessa revealed that Duncan would choose to retire after this season. After Kobe and Norvis When neither Key nor Carter planned to retire, the news of Duncan's retirement caused many old fans to go out to coffee shops, burger restaurants, and sporting goods stores to vote for him.

Seeing Paul George's sad and depressed look, Sun Ce felt that he needed some comfort and patted Paul George on the shoulder.

Paul George thought it was right to ask Sun Ce to watch together. The third brother should have some chicken soup, and he was waiting to drink it.

Sun Ce really didn't know how to comfort him when he was unprepared. After thinking about it, he finally got it.

In Paul George's expectant eyes, Sun Ce said: "Don't be discouraged, the future is yours."

"..."

Third brother, are you trying to comfort me? This is a curse!

…

…

If you beat the Pelicans, beat them hard!

Sun Ce and Aldridge have cooperated very well since they joined forces last season. This season Aldridge has a low post ability, and may be the strongest low post ability of all insiders in the league, paired with Carter, Klay Thompson or Paul George With the sideline setter, the Grizzlies have a new tactic, and the first end point of the tactic is Sun Ce.

At the beginning of tonight's game, Aldridge went to the basket and punched Anthony Davis. This was the best way to limit Anthony Davis' ability to help defend.

The key effect is good, and Sun Ce is also good at catching and shooting.

Anyway, Sun Ce looks for Gobert to pick and roll. When Valanciunas comes out, the opponent has to use an outside attack. If Valanciunas doesn't come out, Aldridge just shoots directly, and Sun Ce rushes to grab it.

Irving and Anthony Davis feel powerless. They can't remember the last time they beat Sun Ce or the Grizzlies. It's as if they have never won.

Finally, in the first half of the third quarter, while Sun Ce and Aldridge were resting and the Grizzlies only had Sessions, Klay Thompson, Carter, David West, and Yi Jianlian on the court, Irving and Anthony -Davis used the pick-and-roll to lead Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson to a 14-6 run, scoring in 5 consecutive rounds. The Pelicans finally took the lead by 1 point, leading 72-71.

However, the Pelicans were not given a chance to wait for the Grizzlies to make adjustments. Klay Thompson hit three three-pointers before the official timeout, and went on a 9-2 run, making the score 80-74. The Bears took another six-point lead.

When the official timeout came back and Sun Ce came on the court, Klay Thompson had already taken the shot. Following the trend, Sun Ce also took the shot...

39 to 25 in a single quarter. The Grizzlies originally led the Pelicans by 7 points 57 to 50 in the first half. After three quarters, the Grizzlies led the Pelicans by 21 points 96 to 75!

After that 14-6 wave, the Pelicans were beaten 33-11... and collapsed!

Finally, the Grizzlies beat the Pelicans 122-107, improving their record to 32 wins and 5 losses, and continued to keep close to the Warriors.

Watching Sun Ce clock out after three quarters, easily getting 31 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal, Irving and Anthony Davis looked at their teammates and thought of another group of teammates with two No. 1 picks... The difference between people is too big!

…

The Warriors started another winning streak, while the Grizzlies lost the last game of the Southwest Division trip in 4 days and 3 games.

The day after playing against the Pelicans, the Grizzlies came to San Antonio in a dusty state. Sun Ce played 44 minutes, made 17 of 39 shots, including 7 of 17 three-pointers, plus 9 of 11 shots to get 50 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals and 1 block. The Grizzlies only scored 94 points and lost to the Spurs 94-111 away, ending their winning streak and changing their record to 32 wins and 6 losses.

It was still caused by fatigue. Although Sun Ce's hit rate of 17 out of 39 shots was not good, it was still 43.5%, which was not bad under high-volume shooting. The key was that the other Grizzlies players only scored 17 out of 47 shots.

As for the Spurs, the performance was also strange. Rondo scored 10 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists, Duncan scored 18 points, 2 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 blocks, and Duncan's rebounds were not as many as his blocks! As for Rondo...it seemed that he was forced to get 10 points to make a triple-double.

Under the leadership of Duncan and Rondo, 7 players of the Spurs scored in double digits!

When the Spurs performed like this, it meant that the rotation was smooth, the offense was smooth, and even the defense was played well.

Indeed, the Spurs knew that Duncan would choose to retire last summer, and discussed with Duncan to turn 10 million in one year into 5 million in two years, and then buy out the last year of his contract after retirement in three installments. On this basis, the Spurs were willing to pay the luxury tax. The lineup they formed this year is really amazing!

There are two ways to deal with the Spurs. One is that Sun has a high hit rate + high shots, scores high points, and his teammates are on the defensive line. This is the way to play during the rest period.

The other is that all the main players compete with strength. They won once in the early stage of the season.

"It seems that the Spurs may still be the strongest opponent this year..."

Sun Ce really feels that if the Spurs reach the playoffs, they may not be worse than the Warriors!

...

...

After the 4-day 3-way game in the Southwest Division, Sun Ce returned to Memphis with the team. Sun Ce scored 50+ for the fifth time this season, and his career total of 50+ in a single game increased to 24 times, which is 3 times away from Kobe's 27 single-game 50+ times.

And 5 50+ in a single season also set a new record for Sun Ce.

Moreover, with 5 50+ in a single season, if ranked by people, Sun Ce can be ranked fourth in history. Chamberlain had a maximum of 45 50+ in a single season, Kobe had a maximum of 10 50+ in a single season, and Jordan had a maximum of 8 50+ in a single season. However, if ranked, Sun Ce's 5 50+ in a single season can only be ranked outside the top 10... But the most important thing is that Sun Ce has only played less than half of this season!

At present, Sun Ce's frequency of 50+ in a single game is faster than Kobe's 06-07 season!

A media called Kobe for an interview. As soon as the topic of Sun Ce's possible 10+ single-game 50+ this season was mentioned, Kobe hung up the phone.

But that was enough, the reporter already had enough topics to hype.

On Sun Ce's side, after returning home to rest for two days, he welcomed the visiting Pistons on the 6th.

Some stars may only be able to hover on the edge of the playoffs when they lead their own team. Occasionally enter the playoffs, but often in the first round.

This is the case with Jennings and Drummond. The Pistons sold Brandon Knight, found Reggie Jackson as a substitute for Jennings, paired with Drummond, signed Tobias Harris, traded for Morris Jr. from the Suns, selected Pope and Stanley Johnson... However, except for Jennings, Drummond, and Reggie Jackson, the others have nothing to do with star players. The best Tobias Harris may not have the possibility of being selected as an All-Star in his career.

Although Jennings averaged 14.4 points and 9.2 assists per game this season, reaching the peak of his career, Drummond averaged 16.2 points and 14.8 rebounds per game, and Tobias Harris also averaged 16 points and 6 rebounds per game, the Pistons are still barely at the level of entering the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Sun Ce played 41 minutes tonight, 14 of 24 shots, scored 37 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists, 6 blocks and 2 steals, and led the team to beat the visiting Pistons 101-94 at home.

The game was more difficult than expected. The opponent was a playoff-level team after all, especially Jennings, who scored 30 points and 8 assists tonight, causing a lot of trouble for the Grizzlies.

However, when the final whistle sounded, the scene sang Happy Birthday! These two days, his family is also preparing for his birthday tomorrow. Sun Ce felt a little emotional. In a blink of an eye, he will be 26 years old soon!
