Six Hundred and Seventy-Eight. Is It Amazing to Look Like Panda?

Sun Ce, who had worked hard early in the morning, left the gentle countryside at 8:30 and went to the gym to practice three-point shooting.

Recently, the three-point shooting training has been quite effective, and Sun Ce wants to try his hand in the game.

But Tim Hardaway didn't let him. As a retired star with successful experience in developing three-point shooting, Tim Hardaway told Sun Ce that he was still in the process of adjusting his hand shape.

It's okay for those who haven't developed three-point shooting. Sun Ce has his own shooting movements. It's more troublesome to change his hand shape, especially this kind of fine-tuning. It's okay in training, and he can shoot slowly, but in the game, there is a lightning opportunity, and he can shoot quickly. It's a ghost to be able to control the hand shape.

The game is the easiest place to shape technical movements. Once you get used to shooting in the game, it's really hard to change.

Then Sun Ce can only go back to the old way, like Kobe, Jordan, and McGrady, and throw hard. It's not impossible, but it's almost impossible to practice a stable three-pointer.

Jordan started to practice three-point shooting too late, and McGrady couldn't practice more because of a congenital disease, but Kobe's three-point shooting was not stable. His three-point shooting was definitely very strong, but it was not his main offensive means. He is currently in the top 20 of the historical three-point shooting list. It is not a big problem for him to be in the top 15 when he retires, but he is not stable. He needs too much feel for the ball, and there is not much room for adjustment. Because there is no arc, there is basically no room for adjustment, and it is extremely dependent on physical strength.

If we talk about the advantages of these three-point shooting methods compared to three-point shooters with arcs, it is probably that it is easy to judge the direction of the ball after the iron is hit. Anyway, it is straight and the ball doesn't turn much. When there are rebounding experts in the team, the offensive rebounding is very good, such as Odom, Gasol, and Bynum, who are all good at offensive rebounding. These three average 9.5 offensive rebounds per game, which is comparable to the Grizzlies' Randolph + Double Emperor combination of 9.1 offensive rebounds per game. This is based on Randolph's explosion of 4.6 offensive rebounds per game this season.

Since Sun Ce's dynamic physical fitness is relatively biased, his speed and bounce speed are good, his explosive power and bounce are average, and his static physical fitness is excellent, so Sun Ce needs more stability than these explosive players.

Developing a stable shot is more suitable for Sun Ce than pursuing explosiveness.

Sun Ce can only practice hard, but his progress is still very gratifying. At the beginning, when he just started to adjust his hand shape, he was crazy about training, but the more he practiced, the faster he improved, mainly because he had a good instructor.

After each training, Sun Ce set a small goal to shoot the future strongest three-point shooter in history, Curry, in the face!

…

Relying on the brutal performance in the past three games,

mainly against the Magic team with 58 points in three quarters, Sun Ce's fourth weekly best this season is here! Overwhelming Rose, who won three weekly bests in the first two months!

This time is expected, three consecutive wins, a triple-double, and 58 points. It is unacceptable not to win the weekly best.

In the East, Paul won the Player of the Week. In general, the competition for Player of the Week in the East is more intense than that in the West. This season, there are more superstar players in the West than in the past few years. In the years when Rondo entered his peak, Rose and Evans emerged, Stoudemire and Paul joined forces, plus the already powerful James, Wade, and Howard, the three stars of the Hawks who are slightly lower, and the old Big Three of the Celtics...

On the contrary, in the West, Nowitzki and Yao Ming are together; the stars of the Lakers are old, young, and have no pursuit in the regular season; the Spurs are egalitarian; only the stars of a few teams such as the Grizzlies, Thunder, and Trail Blazers have the opportunity to win the Player of the Week.

There is nothing special to pay attention to when playing against the Timberwolves at home. If the opponent really explodes fiercely and loses accidentally, there is really nothing to do. Look, the Hornets defeated the Heat 96-93 last night, ending the Heat's eight-game winning streak.

Okafor has been weak for half a season. When he saw Bosh last night, he became as fierce as the Iraqi men's football team saw the Chinese men's football team. He scored 26 points and 19 rebounds with 12 of 13 shots and a shooting percentage of 92.3%, almost 20 points in both. He played well on offense and seemed to be more motivated on the defensive end. He blocked 4 shots in a single game and stunned James. James only scored 17 points with 5 of 16 shots in the whole game. Wade was not good either, with 7 of 16 shots.

Okafor became a little popular. People only realized at this time that Okafor was just 28 years old when the training camp started...

When he was drafted, Okafor was called the next Duncan because of his solid performance in college, but now the facts tell people that not only is it the next Nowitzki and the next Bird pitfalls, but the template is Duncan, and the ending is not much better.

After Sun Ce had personal training and team meetings in the morning, he learned that he won the best player of the week at noon. He also read the news about the stars of each team in the past week. The team did not arrange training in the afternoon. The mid-season schedule was so easy, and he should rest well.

Apart from people like Sun Ce, if others want to improve in the middle of the season... unless they have already practiced the skills before the start of the season but have not adapted to the game in the early stage of the season, there will not be much chance of improvement. The usual training is not for players to improve their strength, but to maintain their condition. The situation of continuous improvement like Sun Ce is not unprecedented, but at least it is rare in ten years.

Sun Ce did not train in the afternoon. Bill Duffy came to Memphis and handed Sun Ce to an agent from the agency to shoot a New Year advertisement for China. This year, China will basically have a winter vacation on the 10th. Sun Ce has 4 commercials to shoot this afternoon.

They are all shooting commercials. Sun Ce is so envious of the two bears. Is it amazing to look like bears?

Randolph, Gasol, Bill Duffy and Gasol's agent went to the zoo with two pandas with the same name as them to shoot a local advertisement for a winter clothing brand!

Memphis is not only a big agricultural city, but also has a good textile industry. The winter clothes produced here are very popular in Canada. There is also money to hire NBA stars and pandas. The main target is not Randolph and Gasol.

The people in Memphis are still good at making money. After many negotiations, they reached a profit-sharing agreement with the Chengdu Panda Base, allowing the two pandas named Zach and Mark to take advertisements, and also found a job for Randolph and Gasol, which made the other Grizzlies envy and hate.

Money is not a problem. The endorsement fee of others is not as high as that of Panda. The key is to see who the partner is. Who doesn't want to shoot an advertisement with Panda?

...

The day's rest time passed quickly. On January 7, the Grizzlies ushered in the last game of the five-game home run, the game against the Timberwolves.

The worried unexpected situation did not occur. Facing 35 games, 5 wins and 30 losses, it is really terrible. Getting 10 wins this season may not be a big problem, but getting 15 wins... The bookmakers really bet on everything. Whether the Timberwolves can get 15 wins this season is very popular. At present, the odds of the Timberwolves' record exceeding 15 wins are 1 to 5, and the current odds of less than 15 wins are only 1 to 1.5. There is also a separate bet on how many wins, and the odds of more than 15 wins are very high.

Playing against the Timberwolves, unless you are very unlucky, it is difficult to lose.

At five o'clock in the evening, the game between the Grizzlies and the Timberwolves started.

The Grizzlies sent out a lineup of Sun Ce, Morrow, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, and Gasol.

Tony Allen, Battier, and Randolph took turns to rest.

On the Timberwolves side, the lineup of Jonny Flynn, Wesley Johnson, Beasley, Love, and Milicic seemed to have the most talent, and the performance they put in was second to none.

Kevin Martin and Beasley played singles on the outside, and Love rebounded in the paint. The division of labor was clear, so clear that no one cared about anyone else, and they just played their own games.

Love scored 26 points and 9 rebounds with 10 of 25 shots, Kevin Martin scored 18 points with 5 of 12 shots and 6 free throws, and Beasley scored 20 points with 8 of 16 shots. The core trio looked very strong. These three alone scored 64 points, but the Timberwolves only scored 75 points...

On the Grizzlies side, Sun Ce played for 26 minutes and scored 23 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. Conley, who came off the bench, scored 11 points and 7 assists, plus Yi Jianlian's 15 points and Morrow's 16 points...

92 to 75, the Grizzlies easily defeated the Timberwolves and won four consecutive victories, raising their record to 28 wins and 7 losses. The five consecutive home games ended perfectly!

...

"Cheers... Oh... Paul, you can only drink Sprite!"

After the game with the Timberwolves, the entire Grizzlies team celebrated with champagne at the training ground and gave Sun Ce a birthday.

During the game, there were fans holding banners or slogans to help Sun Ce celebrate his birthday, but when Sun Ce called his cheap parents early this morning, the two old people forgot about it...

At present, the Grizzlies cannot drink in public, only Paul George is left.

He has definitely drunk before, but as a public figure, Paul George must not drink in public. A group of people drank champagne, and one drank Sprite. They were in the same cup, and there were bubbles. Paul George secretly changed a cup and no one knew.

There are pros and cons to celebrating birthdays during the season. The good thing is that you can see and hear the blessings of many fans on the scene. The schedule arranged by the league is not bad. If there is an off-season game on birthday night, you know that the team ranked last in the season will definitely beat the Grizzlies, so that Sun Ce can have a happy birthday.

The disadvantage is that there is no opportunity to have fun. Just cut a cake, open a few bottles of champagne, and everyone has a few drinks, and the birthday is over.

Next is a two-game road trip, playing the Nets on the 9th and the Raptors on the 11th. The first game is in the cold northeastern United States, and the second game is in the snowy Toronto. It takes a long time to go from the already cold Memphis to the even colder New Jersey and then to the coldest Toronto in the NBA...

The opponents in the two consecutive away games are not strong, but I really don't want to go. Moreover, for Sun Ce, there is another sad thing, that his underage sister is going to Southern California.
