One Thousand Eight Hundred and Seventy-Nine. Chips for the MVP
Latest website: Whatever Sun Ce does now, he will be noticed.
After hearing that Sun Ce had been interviewed for more than ten hours, he flew home overnight to celebrate his son's birthday. For a while, the reputation of a loving father and a filial son was hung on Sun Ce's head... Anyway, now, Sun Ce's farts taste good. , scored 90 points and still won. At this time, Sun Ce was in his prime, and Sun Ce fans occupied the commanding heights in public opinion. No media would be in trouble with the fans, and of course they gave the fans the news they wanted to see.
Competitive sports are winner-take-all, and the strong one is always right. For example, Kobe Bryant's handsomeness and James' basketball brothers were all whitewashed because of their personal performance and winning championships.
Now Sun Ce is the big winner who takes it all.
However, the other superstars are not in a hurry... The superstars who have been playing for a long time are not in a hurry. They have seen too much. Even the basketball god of the previous generation, the first person in history, is still criticized now.
The OK group was so strong back then, but now there are people who are also criticizing it.
They just happen to be in Sun Ce's peak period. The young ones can survive, and the old ones have experienced the years of Kobe Bryant and Duncan's rule before Sun Ce... They will not give up on themselves just because Sun Ce's dominance is ridiculously strong. On the contrary, those who have lofty ideals Ambitious players will work harder to improve themselves in order to seize opportunities.
The Grizzlies have had an impeccable year, and it will become increasingly difficult in the foreseeable future. Of course, it will only become more difficult compared to the 14-15 season. They are still very strong, but they are not invincible.
The reason is simple - salary!
Even if the maximum salaries of Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Aldridge were all signed before the salary cap skyrocketed, they are still maximum salaries!
Four maximum salaries for a team means that the salary of role players will be greatly compressed...
Patience is something that a player, especially a superstar, should have. Only with patience can one seize the opportunity.
As for those players who really chose to give up, they are basically not superstars. Superstars should be different from ordinary people in that they are focused and patient. These two things are indispensable.
However, those patient superstars do not expect to wait for Sun Ce's team to decline. Instead, they have to be more cautious because there are other competitors, and they believe that Sun Ce will also make adjustments...
…
On Sun Ce’s side,
After returning home, I hugged Xiaofang and slept all day long. The reception of guests and other matters were left to Lily Collins and Zu Goose. Dad was just like the mascot of the family... an overly fierce-looking mascot. It was the first time I saw him. At that time, I felt that this was a butcher whose hands were stained with blood. He stole a beautiful wife, Sun Ce's mother, and gave birth to a son as strong as Sun Ce. Sun Ce seemed to have someone behind him to be so crazy.
But after seeing each other several times every year, I discovered that Sun Ce’s father had probably given up his life...
Anyway, no one thinks that Sun Ce’s father used to be a good person.
Sun Ce didn't get up until around three in the afternoon and helped chat with the guests. In the evening, he helped little Gohan celebrate his third birthday.
Celebrating birthdays is the name of the day, but it is more about communication between people from all walks of life, from businessmen to politicians, to the entertainment industry, to the sports world. More and more people come to the party every year.
The few villas built last year are still not big enough. Fortunately, many people have to leave overnight.
It’s not that Lily Collins doesn’t care about her son, but she has transformed from an actress to a businessman. After she was very successful in selling goods, she started to create her own clothing brand. Sun Ce also gave her investment, so today she mainly works with celebrities They chatted.
Sun Ce didn't care so much. John and Lily Collins went to discuss business. He and Zu Ge, who was not interested in business, accompanied little Gohan.
But at night, Sun Ce was kicked by Lily Collins and went to sleep in the guest room. After Lily Collins finished her work, she and Zu Geese hugged their three cubs to sleep...
Sun Ce feels so miserable. The two girls have three children, and his status is getting lower and lower day by day!
Life is really miserable. Sun Ce also heard that Zu Goose wants to raise more pets because Xiaofang likes kittens very much. The three cubs at home are in good health and have no allergies. This is even more tragic. Sun Ce seems to be watching again When my family status becomes lower...
Putting aside these messy thoughts, Sun Ce lay on the bed. Occasionally, when Lily Collins was not sitting on his waist during vacation, it was a good opportunity to think about things.
Tomorrow is the 15th, and I have to go to Toronto for business activities. In addition to business activities, I also have to prepare performances with the stars who are performing together.
However, it may be that after a year without them preparing their own programs, NBA officials have had time and started to intervene in this matter. Now they are no longer playing it by themselves. The league specifically communicates with every star participating in the performance, such as Sun People must sing new songs alone.
As for Kobe and James, they are rapping...
The main game of the All-Star Weekend starts at 8 o'clock, and the introduction of the stars usually starts from 7:30 to 7:40. So more than half an hour's worth is completely used as performance time for these stars.
Performance must be voluntary labor, which not only attracts the attention of fans, but also reduces the expenses of the organizer, as there is no need to hire big-name artists...
But there are also other expenses, that is, for the songs or dances that some stars want to perform, the organizer, that is, the Raptors, spends more money to hire songwriters and choreographers, as well as costumes, etc... But they can also be sold through advertising... …
In general, the pre-game performances of the All-Star Game that they used to play have become part of the commercialization of the NBA.
This made Sun Ce a little regretful, but Lily Collins, John, Bill Duffy and others had told him long ago that such a situation would happen one day, and he was mentally prepared.
In addition to the NBA wanting to make money from this, increase ratings and sell advertisements, there is another point, that is, this matter is getting more and more attention, and the NBA officials will always have concerns. The United States is such a free place. If the authorities catch the problem and bite it... those presidents also want to make money.
So you have to be more careful and control it in your hands to maximize the risk avoidance.
Don't think about this. In fact, because of this, Sun Ce's burden has become lighter. He no longer needs to organize dance rehearsals or help others make songs... Life is like this, and Sun Ce accepts it calmly.
Turn on your phone and read the recent news. Public opinion is still generally praising him... But two days have passed, and fans' attention has begun to shift to the All-Star Weekend and the current situation of the league.
After all, no matter how well Sun played, it was only in the early and middle stages of the season. The most critical late regular season is coming.
At present, the Warriors are ranked first in the league with 53 wins and 6 losses. It is estimated that it is impossible to break the Grizzlies' best record in history last season, but it is still expected to break the Bulls' second best record in history.
The Grizzlies are ranked second in the West with 49 wins and 9 losses, temporarily leading the Spurs with 48 wins and 10 losses by 1 win.
The fourth-ranked Thunder in the West has 45 wins and 14 losses, the fifth-ranked Trail Blazers have 43 wins and 16 losses, the sixth-ranked Mavericks have 40 wins and 19 losses, and the seventh-ranked Lakers have 39 wins and 19 losses.
These seven teams have the opportunity to get at least 50 wins.
Looking at the unshakable top seven in the West, Sun Ce looks at the Suns, Pelicans, Jazz... These teams are so miserable. This season, they will definitely fight for the eighth playoff spot in the West.
In the East, the Raptors ranked first with 48 wins and 11 losses, the Bulls ranked second with 46 wins and 13 losses, the Knicks ranked third with 44 wins and 15 losses, the 76ers ranked fourth with 40 wins and 19 losses, the Nets ranked fifth with 35 wins and 24 losses, and the Heat ranked sixth with 33 wins and 26 losses...
After that, it was more chaotic.
Sun Ce looked at the record. The East was indeed not comparable to the West, but why did he want to defeat the strong teams in the West?
Shaking his head, Sun Ce didn't think about it for now.
Season by season, you can make long-term plans during the offseason, but to implement long-term plans, you have to do short-term things well. At present, the most important thing is this season's regular season and the MVP competition.
At present, he, Sun, has just scored 90 points, and everyone must be praising him, but after that?
Kobe didn't win the MVP that year when he scored 81 points... And the Suns' record that year wasn't that great. They only had 54 wins and 28 losses that year, but Nash defeated Kobe and won the MVP with a 9-win record advantage.
The Grizzlies' record was definitely much better than the Lakers' at that time, but the Warriors' record was amazing! Curry's performance was amazing!
In the second half of the following season, Sun Ce felt heavy pressure.
I don't know when it started, but Sun Ce liked to analyze these stressful things, which always alerted him.
He felt that perhaps those successful superstars were also like this. All superstars must have played very well for several years, but they didn't get carried away, so they could always be superstars.
The results he achieved in the past two years were too good. If he wasn't mentally firm enough and really took the praise when he played well seriously, even if it was true, he would be finished.
Review the areas where you didn't do well enough, set yourself goals that seem impossible to achieve, and look at the teams that play better... Sun Ce's heart, which was already quite stable, has become more stable.
Over the years, Sun Ce has found a way to adjust himself.
Just treat yourself as a rookie, that's the best way to keep yourself clear-headed and calm. From a certain perspective, this is also a talent.
After calming down and taking a long-term view, Sun Ce began to review his performance over the past period of time and began to think about the later stages of the regular season.
To ensure that the gap between the record and the Warriors is not so large, it cannot exceed 5 games, otherwise the MVP will be in danger. The data is fine. This time, 90 points increased his average score by 1 point! Averaged 39.5 points per game, if it were a normal season, he would have won the MVP anyway, but the opponent is a team with 70+ wins... Having won 70+ games, Sun Ce knows how much power he has in competing for the MVP, and he is the MVP for three consecutive times!
Then the key is the record!
However, he is averaging 39.5 points per game... Sun Ce thinks, can he try to average 40 points per game? This is definitely another big insurance for the MVP race!
