One Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-Eight. I Am Old
Leonard, who was almost tripped by Lou Williams, couldn't help but curse. What kind of magic defense is this?
In the first few minutes, Lou Williams was asked to guard Jaylen Brown. In the first quarter and a half of the first half, the entire Grizzlies offense was very violent. It was not obvious yet. When the Grizzlies played strange tricks, the Lakers The team couldn't help but choose to attack. No one cares how bad Lou Williams' defense is. He is excellent in all aspects of the offensive end. This is enough wine. In the first few minutes of the third quarter, he defended Jaylen Brown... Jaylen Brown Still need to guard against it?
But this time the defense was too outrageous. Sun Ce rushed directly into the paint just like he did on the sprint field. It wasn’t that James was slow to react in defense, or that the two inside players didn’t work hard, but that Louis Williams successfully predicted it. Leonard's prediction successfully prevented Leonard's defense.
After so many years, every time Sun Ce plays against a team with Lou Williams, as long as Lou Williams is on the court, he knows that a breakthrough is coming!
Lou Williams also played 7 minutes in the first half, but those 7 minutes were Brogdon's time to hold the ball. Sun Ce didn't pay much attention to the opponent's defense, but helped Brogdon find opportunities for each teammate. .
But now that someone is holding the ball, of course he has to focus on Lou Williams.
With Lou Williams as the backdrop, Sun Ce felt that the 38-year-old Kobe's defense was like the best defensive player.
As for Lou Williams, every time he played against the Grizzlies over the years, no matter which team he was on, he would be named by Sun Ce... That is to say, Curry's reputation is too high, otherwise the naming tactic + Sun Ce would be the two If you search for two keywords together, you will not find Curry but Lou Williams.
Lou Williams is really scared when he sees Sun Ce! But he also wants to prove himself. A player like him does not consider his playing style or strength. In terms of hard work, he is indeed very admirable. Although he relied on changes in the rules to perform well in the regular season, he can Seizing the opportunity when the rules change is what I am good at.
However, defense is really not about hard work. There was once a Lakers player named Vujacic who worked equally hard on the defensive end, but whoever they guarded broke out.
Frank Vogel on the sidelines was not surprised when he saw this scene. He could only sigh helplessly. Even if Louis Williams has the defense of the 38-year-old Kobe, he will not be held back. This is really 4 defenses. A boss that even his teammates online can't bring up.
But Frank Vogel has no plans to replace him, because Lou Williams is really useful in the regular season!
As for the playoffs, that's a matter of the playoffs, and it's out of control now. Moreover, Frank Vogel is confident because he has James!
This is one of the best qualities of a head coach, which is to believe in the strongest superstar under him. If he even doubts the superstar under him, then the team really has no hope.
And Frank Vogel not only wants to use Lou Williams, he is also preparing to reduce James' holding the ball in the middle of the season so that James can swim more, and reduce the playing time of Kobe and Leonard so that Lou Williams can get more playing time. , anyway, they have many outsiders, and Rondo can support him...
Frank Vogel's decision is correct! Lou Williams made such a big joke on the defensive end, but he played harder on the offensive end. He is a very proud player, mainly because this kind of thing has been beaten throughout his entire career. He has always relied on attack and counterattack, and in this era that seems to be tailor-made for him, he has more confidence in this.
To a certain extent, the small ball era has improved Lou Williams more than Curry, Durant, Sun Ce and others.
As a result, a very strange scene appeared on the court-Louis Williams, a player who averaged 8.8 points per game, actually started to compete with Sun Ce!
Although Sun Ce was staring at Lou Williams,
But he did not underestimate this opponent. The scene that impressed him most about Lou Williams was when this guy played against Durant and won 50-40. At the same time, he also led the Clippers who lost Paul to kill Duran. Special’s Warriors team.
The score difference hovered around 5 points. The offense launched by Lou Williams was indeed interesting. He hit Leonard without a chance. When Leonard slowed down, James continued to hit. The two insiders relied on their athletic ability to rush inside. Grab, grab if you can, even if you can't grab Thomas Robinson and Nene, you can retreat and defend in place.
It is said that James has too much possession of the ball, but if his teammates do not have many catchers and shooters, James can change his style of play, which is still very fierce. He does not need to break through and distribute the ball. He will recharge his batteries and wait until he is needed for singles. When he was playing, he went to dig one. Although his offensive organizing ability could not be used, his personal offense was stronger this way!
However, the Grizzlies did not fall behind. Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Gobert devoted themselves to the defensive end, and Sun Ce and Aldridge took turns playing singles.
Sun Ce named Lou Williams and Aldridge had the opportunity to play Thomas Robinson one-on-one in the high and low posts. These two points are more effective than any tactic.
Coach Hollins looked at the situation on the court. Although Sun Ce, Aldridge, and Klay Thompson did not suffer any losses after coming up, they could not continue to take the initiative, which surprised him.
If it were him, it would be difficult to use a player like Louis Williams as the core of the outside line. However, after Louis Williams came on the court in the second half, the Lakers did use Louis Williams as the core, and it worked wonders!
Coach Hollins looked at the young coach in his early 40s on the opposite side. When he was in the Pacers, the Pacers' five young talents played well, and Coach Hollins didn't find it strange. But now with the Lakers, who are light on the head and heavy on the feet, they actually rely on so many strange lineup arrangements to occupy the top spot in the West, and maximize the strength of their strongest outside line group in the league. They are indeed capable.
However, Coach Hollins is not worried. It is unnecessary to worry at this time. The coach on the opposite side trusts his own players, and he, Huo Tu, has more confidence in his own players!
Soon, Coach Hollins' confidence was responded to. Sun Ce has been looking for opportunities. Finally, when Louis Williams broke through James' pick-and-roll and passed the ball, Sun Ce seized the opportunity and moved in advance when the "food shortage" was triggered, and slapped the ball away!
Paul George grabbed the ball and counterattacked. His speed of counterattack can only be considered good, and can only be said to be skilled. The Lakers' quick retreat followed the counterattack initiated by Paul George very well. It can be considered that the counterattack failed, but Sun Ce found an opportunity himself!
Paul George quickly passed the ball, and when Sun Ce received the ball, he was already one step inside the left side of the free throw line, and "Acceleration and Change of Direction Level 5 in Motion" was triggered!
Sun Ce, who had received the ball and was accelerating towards the baseline, suddenly jumped to the right front, and squeezed through the last gap of Leonard and Thomas Robinson who were about to double-team before they retreated. The two did not dare to pull, and at this time, reaching out would definitely be a foul, and it might even be a physical foul or a malicious foul, because Sun Ce passed the two and stepped on the left sideline of the three-second zone and jumped directly!
No one under the basket! "Performance Level 4" was triggered!
When Sun Ce jumped to the highest point, his head was parallel to the basket, and when he fell, he slammed the ball into the basket heavily.
Steal + counterattack catch and dunk!
This goal made the scene boil, and the morale of the Grizzlies team soared. The key is that it also made Louis Williams unconfident. In the next attack, Louis Williams hesitated when passing the ball. Sun Ce has 16 steals and lore in the regular season and 3 steals and lore in the playoffs in his career... In the tense game, Sun Ce's steal threat is amazing!
Louis Williams hesitated to pass the ball, and the defensive effect of the Grizzlies was greatly enhanced! Louis Williams' ability is not only to score, he is the core play, James and Leonard are playing with him, which is exactly what Coach Hollins admires about the young coach Frank Vogel, because if he changes teams, Louis Williams may only be used as a 30-year-old veteran role player. He, Hollins, vigorously used Sun Ce back then. First, Sun Ce had shown his talent in the Warriors, and second, Sun Ce was more than a month away from turning 20 at that time.
Players like Louis Williams cannot hesitate and must be extremely confident. When he hesitates, the Lakers' offense is paralyzed for the most part!
Even at the end of the third quarter, Louis Williams took the initiative to pass the ball to James and didn't dare to continue playing. Sun Ce blocked a shot, Paul George cut the ball, and he realized his hesitation when he broke into the basket and wanted to refuse the hesitation to pass the ball quickly, but he passed the ball out of the baseline...
James was also helpless. It's true that he likes to control the ball, but he will be 32 years old next month. He has no worries about maintaining his condition, but he needs more teammates who can hold the ball and help organize the offense. Kobe and Leonard are not that type, so hope is placed on Rondo and Louis Williams. During the offensive battle in tonight's game, Louis Williams, who has the ability to shoot from the outside, is obviously more useful, and Rondo, who has better defense, will be used at the critical moment.
But watching the Grizzlies widen the gap to 11 points again, James had no choice but to enter the critical moment in advance.
Frank Vogel could only call a timeout helplessly, and replaced Louis Williams and Thomas Robinson in advance, and replaced Nene with Lopez at the center position. However, the players who replaced Louis Williams and Thomas Robinson were not named Bryant or Kobe. They were replaced by Rondo and Tony Snell!
A five-man team with four small players and strong defense!
This is the defensive extreme of Frank Vogel's two extreme lineups!
After the Grizzlies came back from the timeout, they replaced Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, JaMychal Green, and Aldridge.
After Sun Ce came on the court, he looked at the lineup of the opposite team. There was no Kobe. Looking at the opponent's bench, Kobe, who had a few white beards, was patting Louis Williams next to him and saying something. This scene made Sun Ce feel so uncomfortable... After winning the historical scoring title, he really became indifferent! He just wanted to trip him up and raise the total score to the highest level? Just thinking about going all out to help the James-Lions duo get rid of Sun in regular time?
The Grizzlies never expected that Kobe would be excluded at the critical moment!
Although Sun Ce was unwilling to accept this fact, he also felt that Kobe should just play regular time now. If there was a chance to shoot a buzzer-beater, he would be useful. But in the critical scoring phase, unless Kobe was in such good condition that he could not jump up and still shoot like in the last game, it would be better for him to sit on the bench during the tense phase and scoring moments.
The era of players born after 1995 who entered the NBA is completely over!
However, seeing the expressions of James and Leonard ready to go, and Rondo's poker face, Sun Ce immediately became excited.
Teammates come and go... opponents also come and go! He, Sun, wants to be the one who stands at the top when facing any opponent!
It is difficult for others to see what the poker-faced combination of Leonard and Rondo on the other side is thinking, but James's fighting spirit seems to burn others.
This year, James' mood changed again when he played against Sun Ce - this world makes people so helpless. As a basketball Grand Slam player who holds the NBA regular season MVP, Finals MVP, scoring champion, best defensive player and Olympic gold medal, he should have become a historical superstar, but in this era, he can only struggle to find the occasional opportunity to compete for the championship.
Looking at Sun Ce on the opposite side, James has never been the player standing in the forefront. This guy has been extremely dazzling since the first year of entering the NBA, and he has won the MVP in the second year, which means that he, James, has always been the pursuer... Entering the NBA 6 years earlier, he was actually a pursuer. James was helpless and helpless...
In terms of dealing with people, James is good at getting along with everyone. Although he has benefited a lot in business and friendship, he has also been criticized. But James is not lacking in the desire to win!
Even if the environment is so bad when entering the NBA, there is Duncan's blessing, the obstruction of the Celtics Big Three, and then the brutality of Old Ski, and now he is still experiencing the rule of Sun Ce.
But James still wants to pursue the next championship ring and wants to defeat the strongest one.
As the whistle sounded at the end of the timeout, the game resumed.
The Grizzlies' sprint momentum cooled down after the timeout and needed to slow down, while the Lakers' James started the full-strength attack mode to help the Lakers stop the decline.
At 2 minutes and 11 seconds in the fourth quarter, James's fierce attack narrowed the gap to 8 points, and the Lakers fell behind 91 to 99.
At this time, James handed the ball to Rondo, who opened up as a fixed-point shooter, and Rondo and Lopez played pick-and-roll with Leonard and Snell.
On the defensive end, this is the Lakers' strongest defensive five-man team. Snell is one of the wing players who was dug from the Bulls at a high salary to deal with the Grizzlies.
Leonard began to exert his strength, rushed more actively, and entangled with Sun Ce on the defensive end, with a strong sense of presence! It seems that every live TV shot has his presence, which means that Leonard has been actively influencing the game!
But after James's fierce attack, the Grizzlies also gathered momentum again, and the moment of Sun Ce and Leonard's singles competition came!
This scene was the most exciting scene for the fans at the scene. Leonard's singles became famous this season. Although his average score was not high, his singles were fierce, especially his one-handed turnaround jump shot, which had standard movements and good accuracy.
Compared with Sun Ce who had to consider other things, Leonard focused on singles and had the upper hand at the beginning!
But as Sun Ce devoted himself to singles, he threw away all the help defense and tandem offense, and took the initiative to switch defense with Klay Thompson to Leonard. Sun Ce, who also played in good form tonight, directly set off a climax of 12 to 9!
Sun Ce scored 5 goals in a row, including two three-pointers, and Leonard scored 4 goals in a row and scored 9 points in a row but couldn't hold on! Seeing that the score difference that had just been narrowed to 4 points suddenly widened to 7 points, and immediately because he missed a long two-pointer, Klay Thompson counterattacked with a three-pointer, and the score difference was once again widened to double digits!
112 to 122, 10 points difference, the Lakers were obviously a little flustered. Seeing that there were less than 4 minutes left, they had tried their best, but the Grizzlies, who also tried their best, were better!
At 10 minutes and 44 seconds in the fourth quarter, the Lakers finally chased the score to 120 to 127, 7 points difference, with more than 70 seconds left, there was still a chance.
But Sun Ce's running hook hit and caused Rondo, who was defending, to foul and make the free throw. 10 minutes and 58 seconds, 62 seconds left, 10 points difference, the suspense of the game was ended by Sun Ce's running hook!
The Lakers did not make any waves in the last minute, and the Grizzlies firmly maintained their lead. When the final whistle sounded, the Grizzlies defeated the Lakers 125-116, improving their record to 12 wins and 4 losses! At the same time, they gave the Lakers their third loss of the season.
The Grizzlies also successfully rushed to the third place in the West, second only to the Lakers with 14 wins and 3 losses and the Trail Blazers with 13 wins and 3 losses.
Sun Ce played for 39 minutes, almost reaching his limit, but he still finished the game purely relying on his personal ability and his own physical strength.
Reduce the use of physical potions and save them for the ranking battle and playoffs in the second half of the regular season. This is Sun Ce's plan this season.
Moreover, although the Lakers relied on the super starting offense to lead the rhythm of the game from the beginning, their head coach on the Grizzlies side is not bad. The most expensive coaching staff in NBA history is not given for nothing.
Moreover, his grandson is stronger than the opponent. The opponent has good teammates, and he also has them. Their Grizzlies only weakened the running and gun lineup and broke the regular rotation. They survived that period with the strategic changes of coach Hollins. , the initiative was already on their side, and they also used Louis Williams' defense to fight back due to Lou Williams' outstanding performance.
In 39 minutes of playing time, Sun Ce made 12 of 22 shots, including 6 of 12 three-pointers, plus 7 of 7 free throws to score 37 points, plus 11 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 blocks, and 4 steals.
Among them, he scored 18 points in the final quarter, beating Leonard who scored 14 points in a single quarter.
After the game, Sun Ce went for a post-game interview.
The Lakers haven't left yet, and Kobe has just broken the all-time scoring list. During the next period of time, any city where he goes to play, there will definitely be reporters to interview. For example, the media asks him to mention his juniors.
Leonard, who performed well in the final quarter but was overpowered by Sun Ce, is still noble and cool on the surface, but he is very frustrated inside. Sun Ce's stability can only be described as terrible.
James felt the emotional fluctuations in Leonard that others could not detect. The reason why he can get along well in both the sports and business circles is because he is good at analyzing situations from other people's perspectives.
When he was not a teammate, he felt that Leonard was simply difficult to contact and even more difficult to communicate with than Kobe. But after being a teammate for a few years, James could also detect subtle changes when Leonard had emotional problems.
James went up and put his arm on Leonard's shoulders. This action made Leonard feel warm in his heart.
Leonard is a very thoughtful person, but he is also a very awkward person. He likes others to care about him and like him, but he also likes to remain cold.
Leonard just felt a sense of warmth, and a sentence that made him feel even warmer came into his ears.
"We are in such an era, I don't know whether it is lucky or unlucky, but we all have to admit that having such an opponent will make us eager to become stronger, and you will not fight alone. No matter what, I will be with you. By your side..."
Hearing this, Leonard couldn't help but patted the arm on his shoulder...
With this small move, James scored 28 points, 9 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, and the depression of losing the game dissipated. He finally got into the heart of this difficult teammate!
On the other side, when Sun Ce was being interviewed, he once again publicly congratulated Kobe Bryant for winning the historical scoring title. This time Sun Ce couldn't bear it. If he scored 72 points tonight, he would definitely steal the limelight.
The questions asked by Kobe Bryant were more pointed. An ESPN reporter asked: "You only played more than 4 minutes in the second half and were put on the bench after that. It was because you were too tired from the last game." ?"
When listening to someone's question, the person being asked will often focus on the last one or two sentences. The ESPN reporter focused on the first sentence.
But how could Kobe, a veteran, fail to hear the provocation in the ESPN reporter's words?
Kobe smiled and said: "We were in a very dangerous situation at that time... We also lost in the end, but when the team needs better players to solve the problem, it shouldn't be me who plays. My era is over. This is LeBron, Kawhi, Rajon, Brook, Lewis... this is their team, and I will do my best to help them, I...
I'm old. "
When Kobe's last three words came out, not only the reporter was stunned, but Sun Ce next to him was also stunned.
…
…
After Kobe won the all-time scoring title, his obsession completely disappeared and he admitted that he was getting old.
Kobe's interview after the Lakers-Grizzlies game immediately stole all the limelight.
Because Kobe had just scored 61 points, fans suddenly thought that the players who entered the NBA in the 1990s were still standing on the front line of the league. Only then did they truly feel what the end of an era was.
The fans' reactions varied, but they were all somewhat sentimental, even among young fans.
Sun Ce, for his part, is glad that he didn't make any comments tonight, otherwise he would have been trolled to death by black fans. Lakers fans may not be the same, but trolls who enjoy trolling people will definitely stand on the moral high ground and point the country...
The Lakers, from the management to the coaching staff, breathed a sigh of relief. They actually increased Kobe's shooting rights at the beginning of this season. As long as Kobe is in good condition, Kobe will be allowed to take more shots. Of course, Kobe's performance is indeed Not bad, the Lakers' goal is to let Kobe break the historical scoring record as soon as possible...The result is as they expected, Kobe has now completely transformed into a spiritual leader and role player pitcher.
Although he may not do this, Kobe's style of play will not change anymore. At this age, he has James, Rondo, Leonard, and Lou Williams as perimeter teammates. He would be stupid to make a big deal. Great deal, but the Lakers want to do their best to eliminate hidden dangers.
Kobe naturally understood the team's thoughts, so after reaching the top of the historical scoring list in the Battle of Glory, he took the initiative to reveal his thoughts...
Booker's 71 points, Sun Ce and Leonard's late-game showdown, and the Lakers coach's battle... they were all no match for the topicality of Kobe's "I'm old".
But to the Grizzlies and Sun Ce, this is no big deal, just post-game news for a game.
After the game with the Lakers, Sun Ce played two more home games, and then started a four-game road trip in the East. On November 29, the Grizzlies defeated the Nets 120-113 away from home, and the first big game month was over.
In these four games, the Grizzlies did not play so well. They lost the last consecutive home game and the first consecutive away game, and their record became 14 wins and 6 losses. They were not even in the third place in the West, but fell to the fourth place in the West and were overtaken by the Suns. The Grizzlies, who had never experienced a losing streak in the past two seasons, also broke their golden body this season and experienced the feeling of two consecutive losses.
On November 30, the Grizzlies came to Washington, DC, where the Wizards, their opponent in the third game of the four-game road trip, were located, and visited the White House in the afternoon.
According to Sun Ce, this was Mr. Shengqiang who took the initiative to communicate with the NBA to put the Grizzlies' away game against the Wizards before he stepped down.
The Holy Spear is probably the most basketball-loving president in the history of the United States, and he really loves basketball. His usual sports are these popular basketball sports. When the Grizzlies visited the White House, he took the initiative to mention that he had communicated with the NBA officials in the summer to arrange the time of this game. He wanted to meet Sun Ce again as president, because when the Grizzlies came here to play last season, Sun Ce had not yet officially matched Jordan.
This is just a small episode in the Grizzlies' long season. The media has hype and fans like to discuss it, but it is not a big deal for Sun Ce and the Grizzlies, especially Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Yi Jianlian. This is their fourth time here. They don't think it's a big deal. The Holy Spear already has 4 official custom jerseys with different numbers for their Grizzlies.
After the 5 games that night, the first month of the NBA 16-17 season officially ended!
After the first big month, each team played 20 to 21 games. How strong they are is also shown through the record, which is very intuitive.
In the East, the Bulls with 16 wins and 4 losses surpassed the Celtics and ranked first in the East. The Celtics ranked second with 15 wins and 6 losses, and the Nets ranked third with 14 wins and 7 losses. The Raptors were beaten up one after another and fell from second to fourth. Now they are 13 wins and 8 losses.
After the top four in the East, the winning rate is relatively bleak. The 76ers ranked fifth with 11 wins and 10 losses, followed by the Heat, Pacers, and Wizards, all with 10 wins and 10 losses.
The Lakers ranked first in the league with 17 wins and 4 losses, and naturally first in the West.
The Trail Blazers ranked second in the West with 16 wins and 5 losses, the third is the Suns with 15 wins and 5 losses, and the fourth is the Grizzlies with 14 wins and 6 losses.
Next is the Spurs, who fell from the first place in the West to the fifth place after a fierce start, with 13 wins and 7 losses, the sixth is the Clippers with 13 wins and 8 losses, the Warriors ranked seventh with 12 wins and 8 losses, and the Thunder ranked eighth with 12 wins and 9 losses.
The ranking and record of the East and West are far from the predictions of the media and experts at the beginning of the season!
Especially outside the top eight, although the record of the East and West is quite different, the West is still dominant overall, but the 9th to 12th places in the East and West seem to have the possibility of impacting the playoffs!
This is not that the strength of the lower half of the playoffs is close, but that the performance of some strong teams is far below expectations, not just the Warriors, but also the Thunder and Clippers.
The Thunder is really below expectations. Westbrook's explosive data is converted to the edge of the Western Conference playoffs.
And the Clippers... look very Buddhist. In terms of paper strength and player data, they are not bad, but they just can't play well. They can show the level of the Western Conference playoffs purely because of the addition of Durant in the case of explosive talent.
As for the Warriors, negative news has been reported repeatedly. Although the Warriors from the management to the coaching staff to the players have denied that there are conflicts, they are all saying that there are only differences in the running-in, but the Warriors' "in-team differences" have been there for more than three weeks, and they are still "differing", which can already show a lot of things.
Some extreme Warriors fans blamed the Grizzlies and Sun Ce for this...
The situation of each team is already in front of the fans, and the performance of each star is also directly displayed through data and other aspects.
Westbrook topped the scoring list and assists list, becoming the biggest winner in terms of data.
Sun Ce's statistics were stable, averaging 31 points, 11.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 3.1 steals and 2.7 blocks per game. He did not try to score too much, nor did he play the whole game and score 40+ or 50+ like last season. He just played according to the coaching staff's physical allocation plan, giving new teammates more opportunities to perform and considering the long season. In terms of blocks, Sun Ce remained stable this season. As the season progressed, his blocks did not soar, but stability is the best way to compete for the block king, just like the scoring champion, except for Westbrook who averaged 32.7 points per game, no one has a higher average score than Sun Ce. After Anthony Davis' average blocks per game dropped to 2.7, the two are temporarily tied for first place in the block list. As for the steals list, Sun Ce is far ahead this season, much higher than Curry who averaged 2.3 steals per game.
Drummond continues to dominate the rebounding list, averaging 14.1 rebounds per game. Whiteside and Jordan's teams have good records, and their blocks are not high. Howard ranks second in the rebounding list, averaging 13.1 rebounds per game.
In addition to these first and second places, there are many stars who deserve praise. James averaged 24.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 1.8 steals in 33 minutes of playing time. His assists began to decline in late November. It's not that he can't continue to average 20+10 per game, but that he doesn't need to. Louis Williams and Rondo took more ball rights. James reduced his ball possession and increased his singles scoring at necessary moments, and his average points per game rose a little.
Griffin's performance this year is as strong as ever, averaging 24.2 points, 12.2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.6 blocks per game, which is still very strong. Rose averaged 18.8 points and 8.6 assists per game, both of which are the lowest in five years.
But the Bulls' performance in the regular season this season is better than last season! Because Wade played very well after joining the Bulls, averaging 16 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, and the key is good health. This season is the first time in 4 years that Wade has not missed the first game month due to injury. Although it is a bit expensive, 24.5 million US dollars, considering that those top superstars are unwilling to take the risk of joining the Bulls because Griffin and Rose have not renewed their contracts, the Bulls management can still settle for an experienced and strong veteran, and it is a short contract of 1 year, which is quite good.
However, the best performances are still Lillard, Antetokounmpo, Thomas, and Evans!
…
After the Grizzlies came to Washington, DC and stayed for one night, a new month came. At noon on December 1, the NBA officially announced the monthly best awards for the first game month.
Lakers coach Frank Vogel won the first Western Conference Coach of the Month in the new season, and Celtics coach Stevens won the first Eastern Conference Coach of the Month in the new season.
Rookie of the Month... It's not because Brogdon performed so well. He played all 20 games in the first month of the game, averaging 7.2 points and 2.6 assists per game. This is already the best performance of the 2016 rookie class! I don't know what the Timberwolves think. Ingram's physical talent is visible to the naked eye... Maybe Ingram himself is too thin to stand. The Timberwolves let Ingram play 3D as a catch-and-shooter. So far this season, his hit rate is only 38%, averaging 6 points per game. Brogdon still won the Rookie of the Month in the first month of the game with such performance.
In the East, the Pacers' short point guard Caris LeVert won the Rookie of the Month with an average of 6.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game.
This is even more bleak than the 2000 rookies!
In the Western Conference Player of the Month, Antetokounmpo averaged 24.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks per game, beating LeBron James, Sun Ce and Lillard to win the first Player of the Month award in his career; in the Eastern Conference Player of the Month, Thomas won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month award with an average of 30.3 points and 6.8 assists per game.
After the morning training, Sun Ce took a special look at the award announcement... Sure enough, no miracle happened. As for Brogdon winning the Western Conference Rookie of the Month, the fans were in an uproar, but Sun Ce thought it was too normal. From the data, Brogdon was not as good as in the original time and space... In the original time and space, Brogdon won the Rookie of the Month and averaged 10 points per game, which was not good, but Brogdon won the game in their Grizzlies! Following the big guys, he has meat to eat, and his efficiency is very high, with a hit rate of 48+42+89. His solid basic skills have adapted well to the rhythm of the NBA. His only flaws are athletic ability and ball-holding style. The rest are really outstanding.
Looking at the awards he received after the first big month of the new season... In 6 weeks, there is only one Player of the Week. Sun Ce is really not used to it. He has won all kinds of honors in the regular season in the past two years, but now there is only this one Player of the Week...
Don't think about this. Sun Ce focuses on the opponent in tonight's game.
For any opponent, Sun Ce has developed the habit of getting to know the opponent well. The only difference is whether he knows them in depth or not.
The Wizards played well this season. The starting lineup of Wall, Marcus Thornton, Otto Porter, Tristan Thompson, and Gortat cooperated well. These four teammates meet Wall's needs.
Sun Ce always felt that Wall was a player who relied on his teammates. His performance has always been like that, averaging 20+10 per game, good at breaking through and scoring, good at single defense, but no other particularly strong abilities, excellent scoring in regular time, no key balls, good at breaking through and scoring, but actually just okay at organizing offense, good at single defense, but average at assisting defense, supplementing defense, and switching defense, so his teammates have to make up for his shortcomings.
Sun Ce analyzed that tonight's opponent might be easier to deal with than what the coaching staff said in the morning tactical meeting. After all, the coaching staff always has to be stricter. When playing against ordinary strong teams, they have to say that the opponent is stronger. Otherwise, these old-timers who have almost worn one hand full of championship rings will definitely not take this opponent seriously. If the opponent is in a bad state, it is likely to capsize in the gutter.
If they take it seriously, even if the opponent is in a bad state, their Grizzlies team will be more prepared and have a greater chance of winning.
After analyzing the Wizards, Sun Ce lay on the sofa in the lounge to rest and prepare for tonight's game. If possible, Sun Ce certainly wants to win every game.
Just as the Grizzlies players were doing their own things and waiting for the warm-up at 3 pm, a big deal broke out on the first day of the new month!
Sun Ce was taking a nap and was awakened by a call from Zu Goose!
Hearing Zu Goose's exclamation, Sun Ce turned on his tablet and opened Twitter.
Looking at the hot search for this transaction, Sun Ce never thought that this person would be the first one to be traded! He thought it would be Paul, Evans...even if Curry asked to be traded.
But it turned out that this top point guard who didn't seem to appear in the transaction rumors was sold!
At 1:58, Google Sports columnist WOJ suddenly broke the news on Twitter that Irving and Cousins exchanged clubs!
Sun Ce did not doubt the authenticity, WOJ's news in recent years was very accurate.
But this unexpected transaction made Sun Ce feel that the NBA had a sense of impending storm. This unexpected transaction may become the fuse of the NBA mid-season trading market that has been undercurrent for a long time!
