One Thousand Nine Hundred and Nine. Our Boss Has Used up All His Luck
It’s mainly about experience. The Grizzlies are the team with the most championship experience in the past few years. They have won the most championships in the new decade and know how to adjust. They had already made psychological adjustments yesterday, which was a rest day.
The first thing to do is to prepare for the Suns, the first-round opponent... There is really nothing worth targeting. All you have to do is to play well on offense and guard against the impact launched by the Suns with youth and talent.
Teams like the Suns are most likely to achieve an upset.
The morning preparation time passed quickly. The training ended at 11 o'clock. At 11:40, after taking a shower and changing jerseys, today's celebration began. First, have lunch with the "lucky fans".
As a "regular lucky fan" of the Grizzlies, Zugoose decisively gave up the benefit of having lunch together. The Grizzlies' nutritious meals are among the top three in the league... But the real fans who came to experience it are very happy.
After lunch, Zugoo immediately appeared next to Sun Ce. What surprised Sun Ce was that Zugoo's life... that is, during the day, was no different from before...
At two o'clock in the afternoon, after the fans visited the stadium and listened to the team history introduced by the Grizzlies' press officer and president of logistics Chris Kyle and logistics director Tim Hardaway, and the "secrets" about Sun Ce... and other things, the league's vice president Stu Jackson came to the stadium and presented Sun Ce with the trophy for the scoring champion and the blocked shot champion.
Zugoo is already a small internet celebrity, and Stu Jackson made a fuss and directly gave the trophy to Zugoo...
This year's scoring champion and blocked shot champion were won by Sun Ce again. In terms of the scoring list, Sun Ce's average of 40 points per game is far ahead, and Curry, who is second, averages 31 points per game. The league has been ready for a long time.
The gap in the block leader list is not that big. Sun Ce ranks first with 3 rebounds per game, and Whiteside ranks second with 2.5 rebounds per game. If Whiteside is a little more ruthless and brushes the data regardless of anything, he can definitely break it, but Whiteside is far less interested in the block leader than in winning because of the change in his career trajectory.
In the rebound list, Draymond Green averaged 14.1 rebounds per game to win the block leader, which is the lowest average block per game in the new decade except for the time when Sun Ce won the block leader.
Love went to play for the Jazz, tried hard to win, and the rebounds became less, averaging 13.5 rebounds per game. Whiteside and Jordan didn't compete for it. The three brothers are all trying to win.
In the assist king, Westbrook averaged 11.8 assists per game, surpassing James's average of 11.5 assists per game to win the assist king.
The steal king was won by Curry, who averaged 2.5 steals per game.
In the subsequent lottery session, the boss appeared with a lottery card for an ordinary lucky fan.
Maybe it was because Sun Ce had used up all of Robert Pera's luck in the lottery.
This year, Robert Pera spent a lot of money, including 10 season tickets, three sports cars, two pickup trucks, a large number of commemorative jerseys, and customized basketballs... to ensure that all 118 lucky fans who participated could win prizes, but Robert Pera only won the commemorative jersey...
...
The two days of preparation passed quickly. On April 14, Sun Ce woke up early again and moved the Zugoose that had crawled into the bed in the middle of the night... It felt a bit like getting addicted. In the past two days, Zugoose would crawl into the bed at night even though he would feel uncomfortable during the day the next day... Lily Collins also gave him a chance. He went to sleep with Xiao Wutian and Xiao Fang these two days. As for the three-year-old Xiao Wuhan, he already has his own room.
Tomorrow is the first game day of the playoffs. The Grizzlies did not arrange training on this day, so that the players could rest and study the Thunder, Spurs, and Warriors by themselves. In the past few days, the team editor has prepared the materials and sent them to the mailboxes of each player.
Sun Ce did not indulge in the gentleness of life. He got up early, did morning exercises, and began to study the scout reports and video clips of the Warriors and Spurs to see how much the two teams' playing styles have changed from the regular season and how much difference there is in their strength in the series between the Warriors and Lakers and the Spurs and Mavericks tomorrow.
After watching the videos of some games that the editors chose to edit, which the editors felt were very representative of the two teams this season, Sun Ce confirmed his long-held view - in terms of regular combat power, these two teams are not inferior to their Grizzlies! Especially the Warriors, whose performance throughout the season is actually slightly better than their Grizzlies.
But in terms of grasping the key ball, their Grizzlies have to do better! Better than the Spurs and the Warriors.
He, Sun, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Mo Williams, Carter, Aldridge... and even Randolph and Yi Jianlian, all dare to shoot at critical moments, and they all have their own characteristics.
This is the accumulation of many years, which is also the foundation of the Grizzlies in the Sun Ce era. Because they feel that they can win and should win, they dare to shoot at critical moments. With courage, they will naturally be more honored to shoot the ball that should be shot.
As for whether the shot can be made... Sun Ce has always been the player with the most misses in recent years, catching up with Kobe and Iverson, who cares?
Winning the championship is the kingly way.
…
On April 15th, the first game day of the playoffs arrived.
Since the time interval between the curtain call of the regular season and the opening game of the playoffs this year is longer than before, the media also has more time to guide public opinion and create topics.
In the playoff team power list and player power list, the Grizzlies and Sun Ce both surpassed in the last moments of the regular season and ranked first in both lists!
The second is the Warriors and Curry.
There is no suspense.
However, the Raptors are not happy about these two lists. In the team strength rankings, the Raptors clearly rank third in the league, with the same record of 62 wins and 20 losses as the Spurs, but the Spurs rank fourth in the strength rankings, while the Raptors rank seventh!
The Raptors are ranked after the Grizzlies, Warriors, Bulls, Spurs, Thunder, and 76ers.
In terms of the star strength rankings, Sun Ce is first, Curry is second, James is third, Griffin is fourth, Durant is fifth, Rose is sixth, Evans is seventh, Westbrook is eighth, Harden is ninth, Paul George is tenth... The Raptors do not have a single top ten.
But not many people really care about their ideas...
On the first day of the playoffs, the team that fans are talking about is not the Raptors, but the three traditional powerhouses of the Lakers, Horses, and Bulls!
Duncan is determined to retire after this season. In the playoffs, he will once again meet Nowitzki, the strongest competitor at the power forward position in more than a decade. This is the most interesting series in the first round, and naturally it is also the series promoted by major TV stations.
The Lakers have been one of the Grizzlies' strongest opponents in the past few years, but now the Warriors are obviously stronger. The topic is "new vs. old," but both teams are not very happy about this topic and feel it's unlucky - it's as if the two teams are competing for second place.
