One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-Four. We Have to Help Them

Sun Ce never found himself to have the temperament of a CX leader, but seeing Brogdon who was still so excited when he arrived at the hotel, why did he feel like a brainwashing master?

He just helped the rookie of the team, but it was like this every time.

Think about it, Larry Sanders was like this, Jimmy Butler was like this, Gobert was like this, Beverley was like this... Now Brogdon is like this too... Can he still be a good teammate? Can he still trigger the "Light of Leader" properly?

This skill has not played a big role for a long time. Now it is not needed. In the field of basketball, teammates have already regarded his words as the truth. This skill has changed from helping in times of need to adding icing on the cake...

Of course, this is not a bad thing, but such a change requires a process for him to slowly adapt.

For example, he has to adapt to the fact that he is a veteran. Many rookies entering the NBA are his fans, such as last season's rookie Porzingis. New players entering the NBA regard Sun Ce as their idol, even more than those who regard Kobe and James as their idols.

The strongest in history, and in his golden years, he has been called the "God of Contemporary Basketball". The number of fans of Sun Ce in high school and college has increased sharply, mainly because in the past two years, he has a large number of underage fans in the United States.

For example, Brogdon and Jaylen Brown of their team, the former is a fan of Sun, and the latter is a fan of McGrady, but in the past few years in high school and college, they have also begun to worship Sun, who is more ferocious than the former God of Basketball.

"It feels good to have children who regard me as an idol and have a goal to strive for..."

Brogdon has been arranged, and Sun Ce no longer pays attention to the new positional warfare combination of 1 big and 4 small, mainly because he doesn't need to pay attention to his own time. The direction is clear, and there are coaches to adjust and practice in the game. He doesn't need to rack his brains. He can propose a possibility, but he is not good at adjusting the details.

Do what you are good at, so that the role of the team can be played to the best, just like after Paul George organized the offense and was not inferior to Sun, Sun Ce no longer controlled the ball, and scoring was much better than assists.

The beginning of the season is a time to find and solve problems. Sun Ce now feels that the team has many hidden dangers, but the problems have not been truly exposed. So the team's current goal is to start developing a new combination to make up for the loopholes of Randolph's departure and Tony Allen's further decline. There is already a clear plan for this, so Sun Ce's goal is to practice mid-range shooting better!

In the first game against the Pelicans, the mid-range shot on the right side of the three-second zone with the bonus of skills such as "Ball Pick and Roll Expert" was explosive. That feeling, Sun Ce hopes to feel it in every shooting area.

…

The two consecutive away games were still very easy. At 8 pm on October 23, the Grizzlies' first away game against the Mavericks started.

Sun Ce played for 30 minutes, 10 of 18 shots, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, plus 8 of 9 free throws, easily getting 30 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.

Without renewing the contracts of Conley, Chandler and Ellis, and renewing the contract with Nowitzki for 25 million for one year, the Mavericks are definitely going to play badly this year. Lonzo Ball, the 2016 Naismith All-American High School Student and California Basketball Player, and Josh Jackson, the No. 1 High School Student in the United States in 2016, are still very attractive. In addition, Jayson Tatum, Marcin Fultz, De'Aaron Fox, who were selected as the best high school students in the McDonald's All-American Team in 2016, are the talents who may participate in the draft after their freshman year. They are the targets of many teams to play badly after the draft in 2016.

The Mavericks have almost no desire to fight back. Deron, Seth Curry, Nowitzki, Derrick Powell, and before the start of the season, the Mavericks also got back the garbage contract of Wesley Matthews from the Suns... Matthews' contract with the Suns was a garbage contract last season,

but it doesn't look so bad after the salary cap skyrocketed, but it is still overpriced. It can be seen that the Mavericks are trying to play badly steadily.

Deron scored 12 points and 6 assists, Nowitzki scored 17 points, Matthews scored 15 points...

The Grizzlies beat the Mavericks by 29 points with a score of 121 to 92.

Sun Ce heard that the Spurs wanted to play badly after failing to compete for those stars in the summer. Popovich seemed desperate to attract stars to join. After all, no superstars have joined in so many years. Gay and Rondo are already the biggest stars that Popovich is willing to join in the 20 years of coaching. Aldridge, who originally wanted to return to his hometown of Texas to play in time and space, was also snatched away by the Grizzlies. Popovich was even more desperate about this.

But he couldn't save face! The weirdest thing is that their state at the beginning of the new season was amazingly good. Popovich wanted the team to rot naturally, but he couldn't do it for a while.

In tonight's game, the defense of the Grizzlies' starting lineup was obviously better, which was also related to the Mavericks' weak offense.

The next morning after the game with the Mavericks, the Grizzlies flew to Houston.

Anthony can only try hard every time he meets a star player. As for his teammates, they are not so bad now. Bledsoe, Thornton... they still have certain strength, but they are totally unsuitable. Moreover, Anthony himself does not have any good feelings towards this team. He just wants to score 20 points, six or seven rebounds, and three or four assists every night.

Only when he meets a superstar, Anthony will work hard to show his ability, hoping that there will be another chance to work with a superstar.

But what is despairing is that Anthony's contract will not expire until 2019, and he will definitely not give up the player option for the 18-19 season...

The Grizzlies won this game 115 to 90 steadily. The highlights were Yi Jianlian and Jaylen Brown. The former made 3 of 3 three-pointers, 8 of 9 shots, and 2 of 3 free throws, scoring 21 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. Jaylen Brown made his debut and scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 2 steals with his sharp cuts and rough defense. One of his dunks was quite beautiful.

In terms of defense alone, Sun Ce felt that Jaylen would never be as good as Tony in his life, but in terms of comprehensive ability, Jaylen Brown is indeed talented and has a good sense, which is very critical. Jaylen Brown has all these senses, such as cut-in sense, running sense, and pick-and-roll sense, but his basic skills are too poor and need to be practiced. As far as Sun Ce knows, this guy can definitely practice them.

Moreover, compared to Brogdon, Jaylen Brown was full of fighting spirit, fearless and daring in his first appearance. The ranking still played a big role. Sun Ce estimated that even if Brogdon in the original time and space won the best rookie, Brogdon certainly could not have thought that there would be such a situation at the beginning. He certainly did not have the confidence of those players in the first few picks. After all, they all fell to that position. They might play harder because they were in a weak team. But at the beginning, the confidence was definitely higher for those selected in the first few picks.

After playing the away back-to-back games, Sun Ce followed the team back to Memphis. The start was 3 wins and 1 loss, which was not bad, but the limelight was not on him, Sun, but on Lillard and Thomas.

Lillard scored 40+ in two consecutive games at the beginning, and has played 4 games so far, averaging 35 points per game. The Trail Blazers have won all 4 games at the beginning; Thomas also played 4 games at the beginning, averaging 36 points per game, and scored 55 points in the game against the Hornets, surpassing Anthony Davis' 53 points in the opening game, temporarily ranking first in single-game scoring this season. At the same time, the Celtics are 4 wins and 0 losses and are ranked first in the Eastern Conference!

The Trail Blazers got Ivan Turner this summer. Although Turner's data is not very good, he has become the connection point between the Trail Blazers' backcourt double guns and the frontcourt double inside players, whose offense can only be said to be okay. Capela and Whiteside have performed better on the offensive end and have more opportunities to score. On the defensive end, the frontcourt defense combination composed of Ivan Turner, Capela, and Whiteside has greatly made up for the defensive loopholes of the Trail Blazers' backcourt double guns.

The Celtics got Al Horford with a premium contract. Maybe Horford is not that good for other teams, but for Stevens, he is really suitable. Horford may not have any special points. His scoring ability is not strong, his rebounding is not good, his defense is not related to the defense, his passing is not as good as the best, and even his body shape is not outstanding... But this is the center the Celtics need.

A team like the Grizzlies, where almost all tactics have been figured out by all teams, may not play well at the beginning. Of course, if they are in good shape, they will not play badly.

Teams like the Trail Blazers and Celtics, after adding a player who can play a key role as a lubricant and implementing tactics more effectively, may play very well at the beginning, just like the Warriors and Grizzlies back then. After the Warriors chose Steve Kerr as the head coach and promoted Draymond Green as the core of the inside low post, the 14-15 season took off directly; the Grizzlies also took off directly after promoting Paul George as the core of the organization and getting Aldridge and Sun Ce as pure scorers in the 14-15 season.

Relying on their performance at the beginning, Lillard and Thomas both won the Player of the Week in the first week.

However, this is only the first week, and there are not many points worth referring to for the performance of each team. For example, the Warriors started with 2 wins and 2 losses, and the Bulls started with 1 win and 3 losses after three consecutive losses... It is obvious that the two teams did not play well at the beginning and the offense was stagnant due to player changes or tactical adjustments, but this is definitely not their normal level, mainly because they are too aggressive.

On the other hand, the Lakers' lineup has changed greatly. They introduced Lopez, Rondo, Tony Snell, Thomas Robinson, James Ennis, Brandon White, Nene Hilario and other 7 players, but the playing style has been adjusted gradually. In addition to the original core Zhan Lunke, Louis Williams, who has the strength of the best sixth man, and Corey Brewer, Mike Miller, Brandon Bass, and Tarik Blake, four players with certain characteristics but with minimum salary, they also played a 4-0 start.

The Lakers are different from the Warriors and the Bulls. They are calmer and more stable. There is no way. The Warriors and the Bulls were the first and second worst teams last season. One lost the regular season championship at the last moment, and the other lost the championship at the last moment.

The Lakers have a bright future. Although James is 32 years old, he can still maintain his form at the age of 35 or 36. Leonard is still young and they can improve slowly. The Warriors and the Bulls... their players have failed for two consecutive years and are already anxious. The management and coaching staff are even more anxious. Next summer, they all have core players who may opt out of their contracts, so they are very aggressive.

But this is not necessarily a bad thing. Changes may succeed. Changes with a strong foundation will definitely have a higher success rate than weak teams.

After returning to Memphis, Sun Ce played 4 games and has entered the regular season state.

It is obvious that many players on their team are not as good as last season. It is not that their strength has declined. Klay Thompson and Paul George are at their peak. It is impossible for them to decline without injuries or illnesses. The main reason is that they have been too tired in the past two years. It is true that playing in the Olympics in the summer has maintained their condition, but it also left them with no chance to rest. Perhaps these teammates themselves cannot feel it, but bystanders can see it from the details.

Sun Ce has encountered this situation before, and the coaching staff has also experienced it. Coach Hollins wants to create a new combination and let the new players take more responsibilities. This aspect is also considered in it. For a team like theirs, to make changes, it is necessary to consider many factors before making a decision.

Reducing injuries is the Grizzlies' top priority in this regular season. If the camp is full of injuries like in the 13-14 season, everything will be in vain! Furthermore, even Sun Ce's playing time has been strictly controlled this season.

Anyway, Sun Ce has no chance to win the MVP this year, unless he breaks the winning record and his statistics are better than last season... If they really want to do that, the teams of the players who want to compete with Sun Ce will definitely fight with the Grizzlies and madly attack Sun Ce. Anyway, the regular season can only play 4 games with the Grizzlies. There are 82 games in the regular season, so what if he plays 4 games?

Of course, controlling the playing time is only for ordinary opponents. It can still be broken when playing against strong teams.

However, this also gives Sun Ce the opportunity to play harder in the 35 minutes of playing time limited to non-tense games, and the opportunity to save physical potions.

Sun Ce's playing style is indeed not like last season, when the whole team dragged on until the second half and he played alone, like in the opening game, because last season, theoretically, their team played the best cooperation after a year of running-in, and the record was not as good as the 14-15 season, but the lineup was not as good as the 14-15 season. Last season, most of the main players in the 14-15 season were retained, and those main players were the tactical core, and those who were released were players who could be added or reduced.

This season, they lost Randolph and had to add new tactics, so he, Sun, could not take on so much, otherwise it would not be beneficial to the whole team.

He, Sun, is very confident in his own strength, but he knows more clearly how much help his teammates can play well. He will not be so arrogant as to think that his teammates are useless. The stronger his teammates are and the better they play, the happier he is.

The championship is the kingly way.

After returning to the home court, the Grizzlies welcomed three consecutive home opponents, the Rockets, the Hornets, and the Magic, and achieved a record of 2 wins and 1 loss. They lost the second game against the Hornets. After the games in October, the Grizzlies achieved a record of 5 wins and 2 losses, which was not satisfactory, not as expected but not bad, and temporarily ranked third in the West.

After the first seven games, there is good news for the Grizzlies. Aldridge can come back! Next, he will follow the team to play two consecutive away games.

The opponents of the two consecutive away games are the Suns and the Warriors, both of which are strong enemies. The Suns have risen, and the Warriors have not played well at the beginning, but no one will underestimate them. This is a team that has retained the core lineup and won 72 wins last season.

On November 1, Sun Ce followed the team to leave Memphis and come to Phoenix. This is Sun Ce’s third away game this season. The opponents in the first two games may be because there is no chance. When Sun Ce went there, there was nothing special except that there were more cheers, but when he arrived in Phoenix, it was completely different... When he came out of the airport, local fans gathered to welcome him "home".

When Sun Ce arrived at the hotel, he was browsing the news and saw the content of an interview with Phoenix Mayor Robbie Stanton: "Our city has a glorious sports tradition and has the conditions to host various large-scale events. We have enough motivation to work hard and have enough opportunities to strive for the return of the Lord to our city.

We have the venue for the 2015 Super Bowl, the venue for this year's college football championship, and next year we will also host the college basketball semi-finals. We have good enough conditions. If the Lord comes back, we can move any large-scale games of the Suns to a larger and more advanced stadium. If he wants to hold a concert, we can also provide the best stage. At the same time, his return will give investors confidence, and the Suns' stadium will have the opportunity to renovate..."

Sun Ce saw this interview and didn't know how to describe his feelings. The Suns are not bad! So far this season, Antetokounmpo has averaged 24 points, 9.2 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.8 blocks per game. The key is that Antetokounmpo will only turn 22 next month!

Sun Ce knew that the Suns wanted to get him next summer, but with Antetokounmpo as the core, Payton, Clarkson, Booker on the outside, and Morris, Jordan, etc. on the inside, they have talent, and many of their talents have begun to turn into strength, and they are competing with the Grizzlies for the third place in the West. What's the point?

Sun Ce thought it was okay for the other party to fight for him, and he was a little happy that a team had fought for him, but this was too much, which made him more confused than happy...

When Sun Ce was confused, the owner of the Grizzlies rejected an extremely secretive trade offer.

This time, due to playing two games in California and near California, the owner Robert Pera came to Phoenix and planned to watch the game live tomorrow night.

Not long after they arrived in Phoenix, Robert Pera received an email from Chris Wallace and immediately consulted with Coach Hollins. In addition to Chris Wallace on the other end of the video call, and There is no fourth person here who knows about Robert Pera and Coach Hollins.

Because the Suns' offer was extremely secretive, and there was no news, it seemed that the owner and general manager of the other party were discussing it behind closed doors.

There wasn't much to talk about, and Robert Pera immediately told Chris Wallace to reject the Suns' offer.

The Suns' offer is to use Clarkson, Antetokounmpo, Morris, plus three future first-round picks to trade Sun Ce and any player.

It's a free player, allowing the Grizzlies to make room for two high-quality role players in Clarkson and Morris.

Such an offer can be exchanged for any player. Antetokounmpo will only turn 22 next month, which is 4 years and 11 months younger than Sun Ce!

When Sun Ce was unsure whether to stay or go, even Chris Wallace couldn't help but be tempted, but Robert Pera still refused.

Three consecutive championships, this is Robert Pera’s dream as a fan!

From a business perspective, even if they lose Sun Ce next summer, if they can complete three consecutive championships, they will be firmly labeled as the "home team for Chinese fans".

Sun Ce can leave and apply for a trade, but they cannot trade directly.

It's just that at this time with a quote like this... it's really confusing.

Moreover, such an offer is still a secret offer that does not reveal the news, which is even more confusing, because if Sun Ce doesn't know, it doesn't make much sense. Everyone can see that they can't accept any offer, so if Sun Ce doesn't know, this Who should the quotation be shown to?

Robert Pera quickly entered the state and analyzed: "I guess the Suns want to give us a signal that they are willing to trade with us with appropriate chips, but it may not necessarily be now."

Sensing the confusion between the two, Robert Pera smiled and said: "If Noah is not going to leave next summer, then they will pretend that nothing has been done, but if Noah is going to leave next summer, they hope that we can Quan Noah comes to play with them and gives us a suitable reward, such as Adai Dekundo who overlaps with Noah? No, it seems to be Adede Dode? "

Watching the boss enter smart mode for an instant but then enter retarded mode again after saying what needs to be said... Chris Wallace and Coach Hollins were speechless.

But this reminded them of something they couldn't avoid but didn't want to think about for the time being - Sun Ce can get out of the contract next summer, and he will definitely get out of the contract, because Sun Ce is currently holding a "cheap contract."

After this season, Sun Ce has played for 8 seasons. With one year of virtual playing experience, he can sign a big contract like Conley's. Not surprisingly, the salary cap will increase again after this season, because each All teams have increased their ticket prices, especially the Grizzlies. Last season’s ticket prices were already on par with the Knicks. Before the All-Star Weekend this season, the average ticket price of the Grizzlies reached $211, which was higher than the second-placed Knicks. The average of the Lakers team of 151 US dollars is more than 50 US dollars higher than the third-place Lakers' average of 149 US dollars. However, every game is still sold out. Whether the seats are full or not is one thing. Anyway, every game is sold out. The venue was sold out.

It is worth mentioning that the Pelicans own Irving and Anthony Davis. The average ticket price in the new season is $41, less than one-fifth of the Grizzlies... Last season, the Pelicans’ ticket sales and prices were both Ranked second to last in the league, New Orleans' economy still hasn't slowed down. I think back when the Pelicans first moved to New Orleans at the beginning of the century, their income soared to a level higher than that of teams like the 76ers and Bulls. Although their income is now Higher than before, but the increase is far less than that of other teams. The key is that the expenditure has increased at the same rate as other teams. This is also the reason why the Pelicans gave up so many players to save money, but the more so, the lower the income. Last season The Hornets, who are last in the league, have surpassed the Pelicans this year.

As the league's overall revenue continues to rise, Sun Ce will sign a new contract next season. The starting salary is not as good as that of James. James is a veteran with more than 11 years of playing experience, but he can definitely sign another three-year contract worth nearly US$100 million. contract.

And there's the Clippers...

Suddenly, Robert Pera returned to his smart mode, knocked on the table and said: "You don't have to think too much, this year, win the championship, three consecutive championships! Don't hold on to whether Noah will leave if he doesn't win three consecutive championships." The idea is that the Bulls had Jordan for 13 years and won 6 championships. We had Noah for 8 years and won 5 championships. We must be content...and Noah may not leave. If he wants to change teams, we have to let him He has enough face to change teams and create the best selection conditions for him.”

When the two heard Robert Pera's words, their first reaction was a strong sense of identification and a strong sense of humanity... But after ending the video call, Chris Wallace and Hollin left Robert Pera's room. After Coach Si calmed down, they quickly understood that human touch also depends on whether the player has made a contribution.

Of course, compared to some teams that use the residual value of meritorious players and are not even willing to give pension contracts to meritorious players, this is already good. It is already good to have a human touch based on business.

…

At the American West Arena in Phoenix, Suns new general manager James Jones said to owner Robert Sarver: "They rejected the trade offer..."

When he said this, James Jones was helpless. He was helpless to the new owner who suddenly came up with an idea and wanted to implement it. He didn't tell Sun Ce earlier if he wanted to hook up with him! He fired Hornacek, who was suspected of being Sun Ce's cheap father-in-law, and replaced him with Sterk Scales, the former NBA single-game assists leader and veteran coach with 14 years of coaching experience, who was more suitable for the team. Everything is going great, except that Morris wants to change teams anyway and Clarkson is dissatisfied with the playing time schedule, there are no other problems. They are on the rise.

This boss is a second-generation rich man with an out-of-the-box personality. He has certain abilities, but loves to mess around. If it weren't for his uncle Toussaint Savor's strong ability, Tuojindike Hotel Group would have gone wrong long ago. In terms of team operations, there is also He loves to toss. He tried a lot in 2004, succeeded, and became extremely confident. Later, he took advantage of good opportunities, such as accepting Steve Kerr's idea to trade Marion for O'Neal...

This time I want to mess around again, and it’s an impromptu idea! He actually communicated with the mayor in advance and notified his subordinate... But there was nothing James Jones could do. After all, he was just a part-time worker. He could not control what the boss wanted to do.

What the Suns are thinking about here is really different from what Robert Pera analyzed. Anyway, their boss Robert Sarver doesn't think so. He just wants to try to see if he can trade Sun Ce back and let James- Jones offers as much as he wants.

Fortunately, this boss knows how to keep things secret. Otherwise, if this deal fails, they will definitely be in civil strife after they started to rise last season, are on track this season and are still on the rise.

"They shouldn't be short of starters, right? They are short of excellent role players. How about you try to add some more players?" Robert Sarver seemed determined to trade for Sun Ce.

How can I add more chips to this? People are not willing to take the expensive one, so can they give Booker the cheap one? Antetokounmpo and Booker are used as bargaining chips together. Even if Sun Ce is traded back, he will have to run away next year.

The key person refused directly and had no intention of talking.

James Jones organized his language and said: "Boss, I think we can take our time this year. We need to have a good record and let the lord see our strength. Also, what we have to do is increase the probability of the lord leaving. I I feel that no matter what chips we give, the Grizzlies will not agree.”

These words actually calmed Robert Sarver down. Although he had an out-of-touch personality, his uncle could control him and still work together happily for more than ten years. The reason was that he was good at listening to other people's opinions. For his uncle, it wasn't important. The Suns were worth more than a billion dollars, and their hotel and office building in Phoenix were worth twice that. But for him, a basketball lover, it was important. For example, for those who don’t like playing this game, the achievements and other achievements in it are useless, but for those who like playing, it is very worthwhile to be promoted to a rank at the end of a season.

Seeing Robert Sarver calm down, James Jones breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to make such a big deal and then fail and then be exposed, causing the team to collapse. As a result, he would take the blame. This job is not important, the important thing is the reputation! Look at Clippers general manager Sam Hinkie. He is so miserable and has been the scapegoat for two years of bad work.

If this boss calms down, he's not bad at all. He won't be as wise as the Knicks boss.

James Jones continued: "We need to do two things. One is to let the Lord have the idea of ​​​​leaving. This, I think, the Lord really wants to help the Grizzlies create a dynasty... I am very jealous of this, the players The difference with the players is too big. Winning the championship is not difficult for the Lords, but it is still difficult for the dynasty. We have to expect the Grizzlies to trade the Lords, which is almost impossible. We can only expect the Lords to have the idea of ​​​​leaving, and the Grizzlies have to win the championship. .

If possible, we can help them, but the prerequisite is that it does not affect ourselves. We must play well and we are on the candidate list for the lord to leave the team.

Second, if the Lord decides to leave the Grizzlies, then if the Grizzlies can help convince the Lord to come to us, it will be more beneficial than anything else! We gotta make the Grizzlies owe us a favor. "

Things develop in a regular pattern. When the Suns have James Jones, a general manager with above-average operational capabilities, although the starting point is completely different, in the end it reaches the situation analyzed by Robert Pera.

After pondering for a while, Robert Sarver said: "I will do as you say! If we fail, we cannot leak any news. Our core is still great, but...

Do you think Giannis can grow to the level of a lord? "

"..." James Jones felt that his boss was joking...

…

…

In terms of team management confrontation, the Grizzlies had an absolute advantage because they were the one who looked at the quotation. But on the night of November 2, during the game between the Grizzlies and the Suns, the Grizzlies were defeated by the newly promoted first-line players. The Suns were overturned.

Antetokounmpo's 27 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists, Booker's 32 points, DeAndre Jordan's 17 points and 18 rebounds...the three stars of the Suns, old, middle and new, performed extremely violently!

Although Sun Ce scored 30 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, Paul George scored 17 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists, Aldridge returned with 10 points, and Yi Jianlian and Brogdon both came off the bench to score 11 points, they still finished with 108 Losing to the Suns by 122, the record became 5 wins and 3 losses.

Once they started winning, the Suns' momentum changed.

The worst thing the Grizzlies did tonight was the defense, which they had done very well in the previous games.

The Grizzlies did not cooperate with Aldridge in 7 games, and these were the first 7 games of the new season. The Grizzlies, who adjusted back to the previous starting lineup, were scored 68 points by the Suns in the first half, but in the second half, it can be seen that the Grizzlies' defense began to improve, and only allowed the Suns to score 54 points in the second half.

It was still a problem of unfamiliar cooperation. The team rested for a summer, and Aldridge was injured at the beginning of the game. The cooperation in the official game was very different from that in training and preseason games, but the tacit understanding came back as the game went on.

It's just that the opponent is also strong. Sun Ce and his teammates worked hard, but the opponent did not give the Grizzlies a chance to turn the tables.

In the first big month, they only played 8 games and lost 3 games... The Grizzlies players were extremely uncomfortable. At this time, Luol Deng played an important role. He comforted his teammates with his rich experience in losing.

Finally, Luol Deng comforted his teammates, but he himself listened to his teammates' frustration about the poor record and said that this was the worst start in so many years... As a result, Luol Deng became depressed, but he was depressed and no one could comfort him...

...

After the game with the Suns, the next morning, Jordan came to the hotel where the Grizzlies were staying, had breakfast with Sun Ce, and chatted casually. After that, Sun Ce flew to San Francisco with the team and will play the Warriors next.

This is different from playing against the Suns. The previous 8 games were different. The Grizzlies' first goal was to run in and let Aldridge reintegrate into the team.

But playing against the Warriors is a very important game in their season plan. Moreover, the running-in of the new team combination is okay, but Aldridge's reintegration will not be given so much time. After running in against the Suns, the next step is to show strength.

From the Grizzlies' point of view, the Warriors are still their strongest competitor in the West. Coach Hollins is particularly afraid of the Warriors trying to make changes!

As a perennial loser, the Warriors really have a lot of room to adjust. Of course, it is possible that the adjustment will fail and they will get out of hand, but if the adjustment succeeds, it will be a big trouble for the Grizzlies.

And the Grizzlies can only understand the changes of the other side with the idea that the other side will definitely succeed. If they want to create a dynasty, they can't be lucky.

Also, although the Grizzlies don't pay much attention to the record, they have to ensure that they enter the playoffs, and at least strive to enter the top four in the West. After losing another game, the Grizzlies have fallen to fifth in the West. The top four are the Lakers, Trail Blazers, Suns, and Spurs.

After the Spurs started with 3 wins and 1 loss, they rushed to 6 wins and 3 losses, leading the Grizzlies by half a win.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse. The teamwork left by Duncan on the Spurs is still there, but Sun Ce doesn't care about the Spurs that much. When the group of people who played with Duncan leave one after another, the Spurs will be completely finished. Now this performance will definitely not last too long. Even if it really continues, they don't care.

Without Duncan, the Spurs, no matter how well they play, are just a copy of the Hawks of those years.

Sun Ce ranked his opponents in his mind - Warriors, Lakers, Bulls.

...

On the other side, at Oracle Arena in Oakland, when the Grizzlies arrived at the hotel in San Francisco, Curry and Harden were training.

Although he was ready to leave, Curry did not play casually. Instead, he devoted himself to the training and running-in of the team's change of play.

Steve Kerr still sought change, and his ideas were very radical. Luke Walton opposed this radical change, thinking that such a change was not suitable for their Warriors, and resigned... Even if there were so many problems, Curry maintained his professional ethics and changed his play... If possible, he did not want to make the worst plan.

They are currently 5 wins and 4 losses, ranking ninth in the West. Sometimes the change of play seems to be smooth, and sometimes it seems to be very unsmooth. It is not clear whether it will succeed for the time being, and Curry also remains patient.

Harden is heartless, of course, this is because they have strength. After training, it was almost 11 o'clock, and Harden said to Curry: "Stephen, Noah has arrived in San Francisco, let's go and have dinner with him! Go to his hot pot restaurant, it doesn't cost money if he is here."

"No, you go if you want to go, I'm afraid I can't help but hit him."

"Stephen, don't joke... You can't beat Noah, I heard he is looking for a boxing coach recently."

"..."

Curry doesn't want to fight Sun Ce now, he wants to fight Harden!

He was puzzled, why are his best teammates like this after entering the NBA?

However, compared to not having it, Curry can still endure it. If he can win the championship, he will also enjoy this feeling of torture.

Last season, he enjoyed the third to last game of the regular season, but it was a pity that he messed up the last two games of the regular season.

After washing up, Curry watched Harden drive to Sun Ce in the parking lot, and couldn't help but get angry again-did that guy take the initiative to treat me to dinner? No! I invited him to Memphis, and I also invited him to the Bay Area!

"He didn't even take the initiative to greet me and invite me to dinner when he came to the away game. If I invite this bastard to dinner again in my life, I won't be named Curry!"
