Five Hundred and Forty-One. Popovich’s Fear

Two of the three teams with the best records in the league are currently playing against each other. The Grizzlies and the Spurs, two teams that never lose, meet. T TV station, which will broadcast this game, started promoting it a few days ago. .

By the morning of the 24th, this game became the game that the league strongly recommended today.

No matter whether the Spurs are favored or not, no matter how big the Spurs' potential playoff problems are...

It is a fact that the Spurs' popularity has soared this season. Duncan, a popular star who has been an All-Star starter for many years, was originally the Spurs' drag on Duncan's popularity. Now the Spurs' team's popularity has finally begun to increase.

Offensive basketball is always easier for fans to like. Even the Spurs have become more likeable to fans and the league after their offense gets better.

The Grizzlies are quite special, relying on two stars to support their popularity. Both of them are very controversial players. One is the former Portland prison villain Randolph, and the other is Sun Ce, but he is also very popular. team.

It is unexpectedly difficult for these two teams to lose in the new season. The battle between the two teams will definitely lead to changes in the record rankings of the top three teams in the league. Either the three teams will be tied for first place, or the first, second and third teams will be directly distinguished. Open, quite attractive.

And there are many things to watch. The duel between Randolph and Duncan, the battle between super insiders is always very attractive. Randolph is as strong as ever, while Duncan is reborn in the new season, averaging less than 28 minutes of playing time per game. Scored 13.8 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks...

If Duncan has played so far this season and calculated the data based on 48 minutes, his efficiency is amazing...the overall efficiency is almost the same as his rookie season!

The contest between Sun Ce and Parker and Ginobili, the three major international players, is also very interesting to watch.

But the extra highlight of this game appeared in last night's game.

In the game between the Celtics and the Nuggets that started at 7:30 pm on November 23, 2010, Rajon Rondo made 6 of 15 shots and scored 15 points, 21 rebounds and 20 assists. He continued to average close to 20 assists per game last week. A super performance with 17 assists and a double-20+ triple-double!

If it weren't for a clumsy shot, the Nuggets didn't want Rondo to play a super triple-double inside. Rondo made 0 of 5 shots from beyond the three-point line. Rondo almost attacked Sun Ce after he got 3 times 20. Wave.

The third data maniac has appeared... plus Kevin Love, who averaged 19 points and 16.7 rebounds per game from the Timberwolves that season, there are more and more brutal statistics after the start of the new season. Love's first few Tian scored 26 points and 25 rebounds, and because it was garbage time... he was put into garbage time. Love was replaced after playing half the game in the fourth quarter, otherwise he might have posted terrible statistics.

Sun Ce, Rondo, and Love are collectively known as the three data maniacs.

Relatively speaking, Love has the lowest evaluation. The Timberwolves' record is not as good as the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers have 3 wins and 11 losses, and the Timberwolves have only won two games so far.

Sun Ce and Rondo both scored good data when they were able to win, and their evaluations were completely different.

…

"Then the fat man should keep his mouth open and follow his words? Hey, this guy is really awesome."

After getting up in the morning for a morning run in the gym, he drank morning tea while waiting for the team to arrive and went to the Spurs' ATT Center to prepare for the game. Sun Ce was shocked when he looked at the news on his phone.

Rondo actually made 15 shots. It seemed that he really wanted to take 3 times 20, but he missed the shot. The Nuggets defended aggressively and retreated to the basket. Rondo could only gamble his life outside the three-point line. I really didn’t win the bet.

Sun Ce didn't watch this game. Yesterday, he studied the Spurs' tactics and watched the video repeatedly. In the afternoon, he felt dizzy. He went to bed early after practicing the Nash training method. He was really shocked when he saw this today.

As the saying goes, things are rare and valuable, just like the future triple-double king makes triple-double worthless. If Rondo re-engraved the next day after he took 3 times 20, then this thing It's really worthless.

I went back to the room and searched for the video of Rondo's game last night. Sun Ce took a cursory look and found that Rondo's ability to steal rebounds is still awesome...it doesn't matter if he can't see the rebound.

Specially select the player with the strongest rebound ability from the opponent and his own team. The moment the rebound falls, he suddenly squeezes in front of the opponent and gets in position to use his wingspan and big hands to grab the ball. He relies on this to grab the ball. Got a dozen rebounds...

Sun Ce can only say that the opponent is awesome. He is helping the whole team to rebound, while the opponent is grabbing everyone's rebounds.

At around eight o'clock, Sun Ce received a notice from the team staff, picked up his luggage, came outside the hotel, and took the bus to the ATT Center with the team...

After arriving at the ATT Center, the Grizzlies entered a state of active preparation.

There's always an extra incentive to have a nationally televised game, especially an extra game like this.

To get an extra broadcast, either he has performed well recently or he has a good record, and the Grizzlies have both.

The team is currently ranked first in the Western Conference. Sun Ce cannot guarantee that this season's record will always be that good. It is too good now, 12 wins and 1 loss... Who has maintained the best start in the league?

The starting record is probably equal to the record before New Year's Eve. Sun Ce remembers that the record holder does not seem to be the 72-win Bulls, but the Mavericks in the 2006-07 season, the Lakers in the 08-09 season, and the Celtics in the 07-08 season. 24 wins and 3 losses, and the half-time record is 45 wins and 6 losses for the Bulls in the 1995-96 season and the Celtics in the 1985-86 season.

And Sun Ce remembers that this season the Spurs will break the record for the lowest number of losses before the All-Star Weekend in NBA history with only 5 losses before the All-Star Weekend.

There are many things in the season that need to be considered comprehensively based on record and opponents, but it is not the current matter, just work hard to win.

…

The day's preparation time passed quickly. Now the Grizzlies press officer Chris Kyle is very good. He is not like an upstart like last season. This season, he refused to be interviewed when the coaching staff said they refused. He focused on Preparing for the game against the Spurs.

Even though Sun Ce just got 3 times 20 the day before yesterday and has not been interviewed yet because of a flagrant foul, Chris Kyle directly said no to reporters. Anyway, they have Sun Ce and there is no shortage of popularity.

There is a little bully who is so arrogant.

Warming up started at 4:30 in the afternoon. Sun Ce watched some of his teammates chatting; some were focusing on warming up; some were even practicing shooting. For example, young Paul George was humbly asking Morrow and Battier for advice, and Jordan was also following Yi Jianlian learns free throws. The more playing time together, the better the relationship... This scene is very accustomed to it. Not every player is so serious during the warm-up period, such as Randolph... You made it difficult for this person to lose weight to 130 kilograms. The big fat guy practices hard during the warm-up, how will he play in the game?

Sun Ce has been waiting for the incident related to the Spurs to start today, but he has not waited...

At 6:40, Sun Ce entered the court with his teammates.

…

Popovich sat on the bench and watched Sun Ce come out second after the current team's second-best Conley...

Glancing at Buford behind him complainingly, Popovich was puzzled. As a leak-picking expert, this good partner actually missed Sun Ce.

But it's not that important. If Sun Ce was there, Popovich wouldn't think about playing in the current system. With a superstar embryo, and a superstar embryo that has improved so quickly, of course he will continue to play superstar basketball.

There are gains and there are losses.

What Popovich hates is the Grizzlies!

Popovich is very sad now. There are three teams in the top four in the Western Conference in the Southwest Division, which means that one team is bound to fall to fifth place.

Although he has played so well since the beginning, Popovich cannot guarantee that he will always be so good. This season is generally an experimental stage for the Spurs system. God knows that they can play so well. Popovich himself is very good. Surprising, because even if a tactical system is well planned, it may not be able to be executed, but they just succeeded.

There are two situations that Popovich doesn't want to see. One is that the Mavericks squeeze them out of the top four. They are in fifth place and the Grizzlies take first place in the Western Conference.

The other is that the Grizzlies didn't play so well later because of Gay's reimbursement and fell out of the top four. The Spurs won first place in the Western Conference.

The probability of both situations is extremely high!

And the third situation is also very painful for Popovich, that is, the Spurs win the first place in the Western Conference and the Mavericks fifth...

This probability is not small.

In addition to these three, there is another possibility that is unavoidable, that is, two of the top three in the Southwest Division are in second and third place. Popovich feels that no matter who he meets, it will be uncomfortable!

Popovich doesn't even want to watch the Mavericks. He can beat them to tears on the inside, and Parker on the outside when he meets Kidd is enough.

On the Grizzlies side, when Popovich saw Gay being reimbursed, he felt that the opponent's strength might drop sharply... It did drop a lot. You can't tell by looking at the record, but you can tell by watching the game that the opponent's offense is now Pure pointed at the two stars.

But the defense got scarier.

As the offense gets worse, the defense works harder. Sometimes, they don't care about the offensive feel at all, and they have to play defensive counterattacks to hit the basket.

Encountered in the playoffs...Popovich feels that the Grizzlies are more difficult to deal with than any other team!

I'm a little tired, so I'll just update it twice today. I set the alarm and I'm still tired and sleepy, so I forced myself to write one chapter. I'm missing one chapter today and will make up for it after the weekend.
