One Thousand Nine Hundred and One. Our Legendary Journey
From 49 wins and 9 losses to 71 wins and 10 losses, Curry and others looked at the Grizzlies' record on the big screen. They had been sitting firmly at the top of the league for nearly a whole season, and they all felt that the Grizzlies' performance was incredibly strong!
In turn, it reminded them of the Grizzlies' reign of terror last season.
From a certain perspective, Curry felt that the Grizzlies this season were even more terrifying than last season.
Mainly because of that guy!
The guy who supported the Grizzlies' record in the early stage of that season by his own strength, waiting for his teammates to develop a chemical reaction, and waiting for the Grizzlies to play the peak performance of the current strength limit - Sun Ce!
After Sun Ce walked out of the player tunnel, he saw a group of stars, politicians, and celebrities on the sidelines... The entire technical table and the first five or six rows opposite the bench, the faces that came into Sun Ce's field of vision, he had more or less impressions.
Some were acquaintances, such as the superhero actors of the Avengers, some directors, actors, and retired stars, Chairman Yao and Ye Li also came.
Some were politicians and celebrities who had greeted him at the banquet.
Some were celebrities and politicians seen on TV...including Trump, a businessman running for president who people thought was joking.
From Trump announcing his candidacy for president to Trump tweeting that he would come to watch the game...people thought he was joking.
Sun Ce didn't have any other thoughts about this. The president of the United States is generally black. As long as his motherland becomes stronger...or as long as any country becomes stronger and can threaten the hegemony of the United States, the president of the United States will be the same. Unfortunately, his motherland is getting stronger and stronger, and he must go through such a period of being targeted. This is the only way to become the strongest.
Tang Taizong also tasted the humiliation of Weishui.
Moreover, he, Sun, has no ability in politics. He thinks that his greatest contribution to the country is to achieve more honors on the basketball court and help Yao Ming develop domestic basketball better...He believes that doing his part well is the greatest contribution a person can make to society.
After the players of the two teams entered the court, there was a gunpowder smell that was not seen in previous matches. Even Harden did not go to talk to Sun Ce. The players of both teams came to their own benches without saying a word and listened to the head coach excitedly making the final arrangements before the game.
Coach Hollins was really excited. If the Grizzlies complete a miraculous season reversal, he is likely to become another historical head coach who won three best coaches after Pat Riley and Popovich. Moreover, if he wins the best coach award for the third time this year, he will become the first head coach in NBA history to win the best coach award consecutively!
On the other hand,
Steve Kerr was actually forcing himself to be passionate under great pressure to mobilize the passion of his players.
Steve Kerr's pressure is greater than that of his players. The players may only think of Curry's MVP and regular season championship at present, while Steve Kerr also thinks of the playoffs! If they lose the regular season championship at the last moment of the regular season, or lose the regular season championship because of a direct loss to the Grizzlies, then when they meet in the playoffs, the psychological pressure can be imagined.
And Steve Kerr dare not share his pressure with others, which will only put more pressure on the players and he can only bear it by himself.
He has already regretted it. He did not make more money as a head coach than as a commentator or general manager, and his old injury recurred. As a result, he had to meet opponents like Sun Ce and the Grizzlies.
The pre-match preparation time is almost over, and the starting lineups of both teams are ready to go on the court.
When Sun Ce came to the court, the system prompt suddenly came!
There are fewer and fewer events triggered this season. Sun Ce also understands the reason. After 7 o'clock, with his current strength, there are fewer and fewer goals that can be called "goals".
He is now more focused on using the props or sections that have been obtained to continue to strengthen himself.
But in a game like this, what is coming is still coming.
"The host has created an opportunity for a truly legendary season with his own efforts and teammates. The S-level event: We are legends is triggered."
"We are legends (S):
Goal 1: Defeat the Warriors in the regular season finale to win the regular season championship.
Goal 2: Win the 2015-2016 season championship.
Event rewards: Complete goal 1 and get a random S-level dunk package; complete all goals, and Elvin Johnson's balance bracelet (A) will be upgraded to Lamar Odom's balance bracelet (S)."
It's a direct S-level event! But considering such difficult triggering conditions, it should be S-level. Who would have thought that they could catch up with the Warriors at this time?
You know, until the last time he defeated the Warriors, Sun Ce still wanted to avoid being left behind by the Warriors, and the record gap would be within 3 games.
And that was less than half a month later! When the last game before the All-Star Weekend was over, Sun Ce still expected that the record gap with the Warriors would not exceed 5 games, so that he would have a chance to compete for the MVP, and only a chance.
Now it has reached the point where if he wins the last game, the probability of winning the MVP will greatly surpass Curry.
If they do, their Grizzlies' performance in the regular season this season can indeed be called legendary. If they win the regular season championship and the championship, they can be called legendary this season - a legendary team!
You know, their performance last season can hardly be called a legend! A legend must have a legendary process. Looking back at them last season, it seems that the result was determined from the beginning. It can only be called a dream, not a legend.
…
The game is about to start. Sun Ce clapped his hands after wiping off the magnesium powder. Under the action of the technical desk official covering his nose as if he wanted to hit someone, he walked onto the court with a smile. The technical desk official was so annoyed that he shouldn't have been familiar with this guy! Next time this guy comes to ask for a microphone, he will definitely not give it to him!
The Grizzlies sent out Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Aldridge, and Gobert as the regular starters.
The Warriors sent out the starting lineup of Curry, Harden, Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green, and Thabeet.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, this focus battle, which was as popular as the finals and broadcast live in more than 100 countries and regions around the world, started!
The referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air. In the fierce jump ball battle, Gobert lost to Thabeet. The two tied in jump balls this season, 2 to 2.
After Harden pushed through half court, he cooperated with Draymond Green and passed the ball hand to hand. Harden cut in and received the ball in the middle. Harrison Barnes made a one-step jump shot from the free throw line.
The Warriors did not get impatient and began to play a positional battle steadily.
However, this gave the Grizzlies confidence. The opponent's situation was the same as Coach Hollins expected!
