341. Not Just Their March Is Crazy

The Grizzlies replaced Sun Ce, Anthony Parker, Gay, Cook, and Jordan in the rotation time.

Looking at the perimeter combination of Jerry Bayless, Roy, and Fernandez, Sun Ce feels that it is not so easy to deal with. The Blazers are still very good on the perimeter. Roy, Aldridge, Batum, Oden in the four seasons When the core players at the beginning of the season only received a combined salary of less than 14 million dollars this season, the lineup of role players is very good, especially on the perimeter. There is still Webster on the bench.

If it weren't for the fact that these defenders were injured and someone would step up, they wouldn't be able to stand up until now.

In terms of interior, the Trail Blazers can only continue to use the mini interior combination of Dante Cunningham and Juwan Howard.

Back from the timeout, the Blazers attack.

Bayless and Fernandez are two second-year outsiders who are very good. They are both C+ level rotation players, and they are both amazing athletic types. Both of them averaged about 8 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists per game this season. , a very good substitute role player, Sun Ce also has to participate in the defense.

But still unable to defend, Fernandez cut to throw away Anthony Parker as soon as he came up, caught the ball and rushed to the inside to take off directly, pulled the bar to avoid Jordan's supplementary defense, and then scored two points with one hand.

This ball looked very good, but the head coach of the Trail Blazers, Nate McMillan, was heartbroken!

Why do you love dunks so much as a European player? Can't you shoot well? Are we still playing like this in the Trail Blazers? Don't die!

But it's because of Fernandez's sharp cuts that Roy plays better when he's on the court.

When the Grizzlies are attacking and one is beaten on their side, just return it. When the starter has the lead, Sun Ce's task is very simple, just maintain the lead.

But...it's easier than I thought!

Sun Ce has scored 30+ in the past two games, and also won the best of the week and the first place in the MVP rankings. The Trail Blazers saw Sun Ce rushing to the frontcourt, and the entire defensive formation changed!

Sun Ce and Jordan played a pick-and-roll, and Cunningham, who was defending Cook on the right side, blocked him for fear that Sun Ce would make a three-pointer. Although Sun Ce made a total of 31 three-pointers this season, they concentrated in a few games.

But this time Sun Ce has been breaking out, and the opponent doesn't know if he will break out again today.

Sun Ce originally planned to break through the pick-and-roll. He rushed from the right side, and Jordan cut in from the middle... Juwan Howard, Bayless, and Cunningham sandwiched the two of them back inside. Sun Ce scored the ball from the right sideline. There is no one two meters in front of Ke...

Adjusted a bit, training three-point shot...

Cook catches the ball and makes a hollow three-pointer!

This is a microcosm of Sun Ce's performance on the field today. The opponent's fear of him is too high, and he easily completed the connection with the outside line.

Although the inside line couldn't be opened and the opponent shrunk crazily, the outside line felt very good today.

Although the Trail Blazers relied on Fernandez's cut, Bayless' breakthrough and scoring, Roy's mid-range and long-range singles and passes, Cunningham and Juwan Howard both made close to 40% of their mid-range shots. very good.

But the Grizzlies play better offensively here!

With three minutes left in the second quarter, Sun Ce was replaced, and when the Grizzlies returned to the starting lineup,

The Grizzlies have led the Trail Blazers by 11 points 53 to 42!

Sun Ce was a little tired after playing for 15 consecutive minutes, otherwise he wanted to go up and play.

7 assists in 15 minutes, a total of 3 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists!

...

The starting lineup can't play, and the rotation lineup can't play. Roy's 31 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists in a single game today were useless.

Relying on Sun Ce's 6 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists in 29 minutes, Randolph's 28 points and 9 rebounds, Gay's 13 points, Cook's Grizzlies career-high 15 points, Anthony Parker's 10 points, There are also Jordan's 8+8 and Gasol's 7 points and 10 rebounds...

The Grizzlies easily beat the Trail Blazers!

After the game, the trailblazers saw that Sun Ce made 2 of 5 shots in their defense...all of them were shot from the free throw line...Suddenly realized that Sun Ce's defense seemed a bit stupid...

However, the game is like this. A player with a huge offensive threat will have a great impact on the game even if he does not score.

Moreover, Randolph performed so well on the Grizzlies side, and he has a good outside touch. He scored 10 three-pointers in the game, and the Blazers really couldn't stop him.

...

...

After killing the Blazers, the Grizzlies won 4 consecutive victories!

40 wins and 21 losses!

With the speed of 30 wins, the Grizzlies did not break the record set by Gasol, but the speed of getting 40 wins is even faster!

Sun Ce averaged 20+ points, 8+ rebounds, and 10+ assists during his four-game winning streak!

Although the scoring plummeted, but the rebounds and assists are still leveraged.

As a rookie, Grizzlies fans are already very satisfied.

The University of Memphis was eliminated, but the sentiment of the local fans in Memphis has been mobilized by the NCAA March Madness. After the University of Memphis was eliminated, the basketball enthusiasm of a good part of the university fans could not be subdued, and they simply turned to Sun Ce, who is still hot now.

But the Grizzlies' happy four-game winning streak ends here.

Next, a wave of five consecutive customers will start!

On February 7th and 8th, the Grizzlies played back-to-back away games.

I don't know why there were only 14 games in March, but there were still two back-to-back games.

The first Spurs game,

At this stage, the Spurs are not going to die, and go all out!

Randolph was defended terribly today. He only scored 8 points and 10 rebounds on 3 of 13 shots in the game. Less than flanking!

Sun Ce also went to hell today. He scored 23 points in 9 of 16. He hit Parker and George Hill one-on-one from the low post and the free throw line. Good, otherwise Sun Ce would not have so many one-on-one opportunities in positional battles. Sun Ce only had 3 assists in 30 minutes of playing.

And the Spurs locked Randolph inside!

Although they didn't give up until the last minute, the Grizzlies still lost to the Spurs 92 to 102, ending their four-game winning streak.

The playoffs are coming, and the Spurs are getting stronger and stronger! Although there is no championship strength, the strength in the second round is still very stable.

The Grizzlies are still a little too young.

...

Losing to the Spurs and being suppressed throughout the game, Sun Ce and Gasol scored 40 points together and failed to win. Instead, they consumed a lot of energy in this game.

Randolph played 42 minutes, Gasol Jr. played 33 minutes, Gay played 41 minutes, Sun Ce played 30 minutes...

The next day, on the morning of the 8th, the Grizzlies flew all the way from San Antonio to Chicago, and started back-to-back games at 7 pm.

75 to 83, the Grizzlies lost to the Bulls by 8 points after a tough battle.

Sun Ce and Ross staged an iron battle. Sun Ce scored 3 of 11, Roy scored 3 of 13, Sun Ce scored 10 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists, and Ross had 14 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists... Sun Ce was defeated by the difference between the two irons...

...

The two-game losing streak has calmed down the Grizzlies' excitement after a four-game winning streak.

After four consecutive victories, the Grizzlies won 40 wins and had 21 games to play. They felt that it was not that difficult to get 50 wins. Now it has become 40 wins and 23 losses, with 19 games left. Get 10 wins...

It's only now that I truly experience March Madness...not just the March Madness of the NCAA, but also the March Madness of teams that want to make the playoffs!

Then there are three consecutive away games, playing the Knicks on the 10th, the Celtics on the 12th, and the Rockets on the 15th.

There are powerful enemies everywhere!

On March 9, Sun Ce came to New York with the team.

The games between No. 12 and No. 15 and the two playoff teams are crucial, but playing against the Knicks is even more critical. This bottom-tier team must win.

Weak teams must win all of them, otherwise the playoff hopes will become even lower.

And after losing two games in a row, the coaching staff felt that the team needed a big victory to boost morale!

At this time, the Knicks came to the door... No, they came to the door to abuse people, but no matter whether it was sent to the door or kicked at the door, the Knicks were like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered...
