Six Hundred and Fifty-Six. Weird Deal! Part 1

Yi Jianlian and Love are definitely far behind in terms of strength. Yi Jianlian also played a core style in his third grade, averaging 13+7 per game. Opposite Love, in his third year, averaged 20+16 per game, but the Grizzlies don't point to Yi Jianlian to deal with it. Love, just steal one or two offensive rebounds occasionally. Yi Jianlian is faster, but Love may not be able to keep up if he defends him.

Since the game against the Lakers, coach Hollins seems to have enlightened himself, focusing on thinking about the overall situation of the game and reducing the temporary command that he is not good at.

Although I was abused when I played the Mavericks, it was because the Mavericks had better coaches and more stars. The Grizzlies had a very good lineup, but it was still a little worse than the Mavericks, a team with a salary of over 100 million. They are both teams with strong rotations, and the main difference lies in the core lineup.

Sun Ce + Randolph + DeAndre Jordan, compared to Kidd + Nowitzki + Yao Ming, are all three cores. Randolph is still a little worse than Nowitzki. The comparison between Sun Ce and Kidd is a matter of opinion. Gasol and Yao Ming... In the original time and space, Yao Ming played in 7 seasons and was selected to the best team 5 times. He was selected to the third team since his second grade. Gasol played in more than ten years and was selected to the best team twice.

The Grizzlies lineup is just not as good as the Mavericks, but teams like the Thunder have their own merits. The Thunder have many young cores and are very powerful, but the Grizzlies' 10-man rotation is stronger.

Therefore, when playing against the Timberwolves, Coach Hollins started from the overall situation, considered matchups, substitute substitutions, etc., and made the decision to let Conley and Tony Allen play as substitutes.

There are two weird teams in the NBA. The Kings have a point guard that they have to play in other positions, while the Timberwolves are hoarding point guards like crazy.

Compared with Love, whose good statistics have little impact on victory or defeat, the Timberwolves' scoring outsiders are the key.

The point guard line of Luke Ridnour, Jonny Flynn, Wayne Ellington, Telfair... are all the type who just hold the ball and keep their heads down. They used their momentum to kill them at the beginning of the season. Over the Celtics.

There are also Michael Beasley, Martell Webster, Wesley Johnson and others at small forwards and shooting guards.

The Timberwolves are the most surprising thing so far this season. With such an outside lineup, Love, who has a high probability of winning the best rebounding title in the new century, and Milicic, the international killer with excellent inside defense, How could he achieve such poor results?

So Hollins mentioned that Sam Young relied on physical fitness to counter those risks. The rotation lineup also included Conley, Tony Allen, and Paul George to ensure defense. Another player activated due to the rotation was Vazquez. Sri Lanka.

Although the opposing team is last in the league and is the only strange team that has played for almost two months this season and has only won 4 games with 4 wins and 23 losses,

But Coach Hollins still arranged his team very carefully. He could win four games, but there was always a way to win. Coach Hollins didn't want his team to suffer the humiliation of those four teams.

Also, wouldn't such a bad team be a good opponent to study troop formations and overall situation construction?

…

The strength gap is already huge. Even if Randolph and Battier don't play, the strength gap is still obvious. Without Randolph and Battier, the Grizzlies still have the strength to be in the bottom half of the playoffs. Sun Ce + Three Towers + There are so many role players, but they are still very strong.

Coach Hollins also specifically targets the weak and helpless Timberwolves...

So, Love played good numbers again, 17 points and 18 rebounds.

But the Timberwolves defeated the Grizzlies 85-99.

The Grizzlies used the lineup of Jason Williams, Vazquez, Morrow, Sam Young, and Haddadi in the fourth quarter, but the opponent failed to come back because the Grizzlies were 83 to 42 in the first three quarters. Leading by more than 30 points...

Sun Ce stopped playing after 19 minutes. He scored 11 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 blocks. It was a great game. Several point guards on the opposite side rushed forward with their heads down. After being blocked by Gasol, Sun Ce There were a lot of blocks in the back, and 3 of the 5 blocks were obtained on the same defense. This was the worst offense in Jonny Flynn's life. After all, not everyone has the kind of treatment that Anthony enjoys every once in a while. opportunities and abilities.

…

After defeating the Timberwolves, the Grizzlies' record improved to 24 wins and 6 losses. After 30 games, the winning rate was 70%... This is a good result that has never been achieved in the history of the Grizzlies. It has already been set a new record. The winning record in team history before the end of the season.

However, the schedule of four games in five days still had to continue. After playing a back-to-back away game, the Grizzlies returned to their home court, rested for a night, and immediately faced the Pacers in the first game of a back-to-back game at home.

This time the Grizzlies played with all their main players, full of confidence and wanted to win three consecutive victories, but then they were beaten.

101 to 107, the Grizzlies lost their second back-to-back first game to the Pacers in 4 games in 5 days.

The Grizzlies fell behind by 19 points in the first three quarters, falling behind 68-87. In the last quarter, Sun Ce, Randolph, and Yi Jianlian scored wildly, helping the team score 33 points in a single quarter, but the Pacers Bian tenaciously scored 20 points in the final quarter, relying on the advantage in front, but held on despite losing 13 points in a single quarter and won the victory.

Sun Ce's performance of 9 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in the first three quarters was not bad. Randolph played 22 minutes in the first three quarters and scored 14 points, but failed to guard his opponent.

Falling behind by a big margin in the first three quarters wasted the wonderful performance of Sun Ce with 4 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in a single quarter, Randolph with 7 points and 6 rebounds in a single quarter, and Yi Jianlian's 12 points in a single quarter.

Granger, who was in his prime, made 14 of 26 shots and scored 41 points. He exploded at this point!

But the key to winning is not Granger, Granger is the one who helped the Pacers have the strength to compete with the Grizzlies. The key lies in the NBA e-sports king rookie Gordon Hayward!

Because the Pacers have too little presence, Sun Ce did not notice Hayward's performance in his rookie season.

Unlike the Jazz who looked down on Hayward and only gave Hayward more than ten minutes of playing time in his rookie year, Larry Bird focused on training Hayward as a baby.

Hayward has a good talent. He was originally raised by the Jazz in time and space, and was not given a chance in his rookie year. In his sophomore year, Kirilenko went back to Europe because of the lockout and did not come back. Hayward played temporarily for a season, but in his junior year, after signing Randy Foye, the Jazz put Hayward back on the bench and did not regard him as part of the team plan at all, even though he played well.

Why the Jazz treated Hayward like this is a mystery, but Larry Bird didn't do that. He averaged 29 minutes of playing time in his rookie year, averaging 13.4 points, 3 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game. He had everything he wanted and looked promising.

Hayward broke out in today's game, scoring 21 points in three quarters and 26 points in the whole game, helping the Pacers beat the Grizzlies, making Sun Ce's triple-double performance of 13 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists lose its luster.

…

…

Losing to the Pacers made the Grizzlies players feel bad. They also lost to the Pacers last season, as if all their luck was taken away by the opponent when playing against this opponent.

Originally, Sun Ce and his teammates wanted to end 2010 with a winning streak, but now they can only strive for 3 wins in 4 games.

But there are always winners and losers in the game. After a while of feeling bad, nothing happened after a good sleep.

Sun Ce got up in the morning, full of energy again. Wang Keying saw that her boyfriend, who was exhausted after two hours of extra practice after the game last night, went out for a morning run early this morning and came back to touch her again, looking hungry, and hurriedly said: "Lord, there is a game tonight! Um... um..."

When Sun Ce heard about the game, he held back some magnificent thoughts, pressed his hand heavily, and reluctantly took it back.

"Get up and have breakfast."

"YESSIR, Lord."

...

This time back in Memphis, Sun Ce felt that having breakfast was a torture. He was eating a nutritious meal with little salt and taste, and the little girl opposite was eating chicken legs.

Sun Ce felt that the nutritionist he hired was doing it on purpose! Didn't he just ask him to help bring breakfast? Is it that important? It's not like he didn't pay!

Feeling the full malice of this world, Sun Ce poured his grief and anger on the nutritious meal and ate his fill.

After breakfast, Sun Ce did not go to the gym, but sat on the sofa with the little girl to watch the New Year's Eve party broadcast by the Imperial Court International TV.

There is no preparation for today. There is a training session in the gym in the afternoon, and then warm up to play against the Suns. The tactical training yesterday is ready. In yesterday's tactical meeting, we reviewed the back-to-back tactics of last night and tonight. Today, we just need to run through the tactics.

Another year has passed in a flash. I even have a girlfriend. Sun Ce feels that time has passed too fast.

I don't know when it started, but time seems to have been accelerated. Thinking about my previous life, I was eager to grow up when I was a child. I felt that every year took a long time. But since I was twelve or thirteen years old, around 2006/2007, the Internet began to be popularized in China for home use and Internet cafes were everywhere. Time began to pass quickly. Primary school felt like an extremely long period of time, but since junior high school, I was already in my twenties.

The New Year's Eve party was getting more and more boring. Sun Ce and Wang Keying didn't pay attention to it as they watched it. They started playing with their mobile phones and playing a small game called Eliminate Stars. The two of them competed to see who scored more points. It was much more interesting than watching the New Year's Eve party.

At noon, the couple who couldn't stay at home ordered a takeaway and continued to watch TV while eating.

The afternoon schedule was for Sun Ce to go to the stadium to prepare for the game, while Wang Keying stayed at home to practice her lines. Before the game, Wang Keying went to the stadium by herself. It was close anyway, and the tickets that Sun Ce asked for Wang Keying should be placed in his closet as usual.

After lunch, Sun Ce rested for a while and prepared to go to the stadium. Wang Keying, who was browsing her phone, shouted in surprise: "Lord, come and see! There is a deal!"

What's so surprising about the deal? The mid-season is a high-frequency period for transactions.

Sun Ce leaned over to take a look, and the two names in the deal made Sun Ce also shout "Fuck".

The Bulls and the Jazz reached a deal... the head coach was swapped!
