Six Hundred and Eighty-Five. Halfway Through the Regular Season
7 a.m. on the 20th, Oklahoma City, home team training ground at Ford Center Arena.
A player who looked like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle looked at the photo of Sun Ce wearing goggles on the screen of his mobile phone, and the game report of Sun Ce's ninth triple-double of the season.
too difficult!
He worked hard to get a triple-double, and finally got his 6th triple-double of the season last night when he played the 44th game. However, he has only played 41 games and has already had 9 triple-doubles!
He has been working hard to imitate Sun Ce. He heard that Sun Ce would go to the arena to train at 7:30 in the morning. He got up at 6:30 and went to the arena to start training at 7:00. He even went to Sun Ce's home court to show off his training. He started training earlier, and even though the other party didn't respond, he even invited him to drink coffee.
He is also working hard to grab rebounds, mainly rebounds. He averaged 18.2 points, 7.8 rebounds and 9.2 assists per game this season. It is easy to reach double figures in assists, but in terms of rebounds, he can never imitate the essence.
"What's the difference between us? Should I buy goggles too?"

The schedule is sometimes so arranged that it makes people feel miserable.
After playing the Bobcats away from home, the Grizzlies have 4 days off. There will be no games from the 20th to the 23rd, and they will play the Knicks away from home on the 24th.
A couple of consecutive guests, with 4 days of vacancy in between!
In the middle of two consecutive away games, he took his home team back to his home stadium to rest for a few days. This is really not an uncommon thing in the NBA.
It just so happens that the Knicks have back-to-back home games on the 20th and 21st. It is impossible to arrange a back-to-back. Most other teams have games, or it is not suitable to arrange more games, such as a back-to-back like the Knicks.
A suitable team. Unfortunately, they have played against the Grizzlies for the full number of times. After all, they are already halfway through the regular season.
It’s not just the Grizzlies, coaches of the team have long complained about this kind of thing, but in the long 82-game regular season, this kind of schedule is unavoidable.
However, in January when the players are in poor condition, it is good to have a rest. There are not so many complaints. The Lakers and Clippers have a wave of seven consecutive visitors before the All-Star Weekend, and they accept it every year.
and,
Charlotte and Memphis are not far away, so go back as soon as you go.
After returning to Memphis, coach Hollins gave the players a day and a half off. He started preparing for the game against the Knicks on the 22nd and went to New York on the 23rd.
Coach Hollins originally wanted to spend these few days in Charlotte on the east coast, but when he thought that if Sun Ce stayed in Charlotte, there would be Jordan there... Let’s not mention the possibility that Boss Joe might take the opportunity to hook up with Sun Ce. Sex, as for Sun Ce and Jordan, the new and old troublemakers, Coach Hollins really doesn't know what trouble these two people will cause.
Therefore, Coach Hollins thought it would be better to return to Memphis.
…
After Sun Ce returned to the apartment, he collapsed on the sofa without thinking about anything for a long time.
After winning the game, returning home and lying on the sofa without doing anything or thinking about it without any pressure is a great enjoyment in life for Sun Ce.
After coming back to his senses, Sun Ce did not get up from the sofa. Instead, he used his two feet to grab the TV remote control on the coffee table, turned on the TV, and pressed a random station.
Sun Ce didn't feel any physical fatigue, and he didn't feel any slackness in fighting. The mental fatigue was relatively less severe because he was making constant progress, but he still had to have the mental fatigue that he should have.
At least today, Sun Ce has nothing to do and just wants to be paralyzed for a day.
I flipped through the channels aimlessly, watched soap operas, free sports programs, and variety shows. I rarely ordered a 12-inch pizza at noon and asked the store to cut it into 6 pieces. 12 pieces might not be enough to finish.
With an additional tip of US$10, the clerk delivered the pizza to his home before 12 noon. Sun Ce opened his laptop and ate the pizza while reading the news.
I saw good news when I opened the NBA official website. Last night, the Lakers lost, 100-109 to the Mavericks, their 10th loss of the season.
Nowitzki was guarded miserably by Odom. He only scored 13 points on 5 of 15 shots. However, Nowitzki's containment was definitely strong enough. Yao Ming had a rare breakthrough in playing time. Carlisle allowed him to play 31 minutes. , scoring 33 points and 9 rebounds on 13 of 19 shots.
But the most surprising thing was Kidd, who made 7 of 7 three-pointers and scored 24 points. In addition, Jason Terry, who was very exciting against the Lakers, came off the bench and scored 26 points, giving him 35 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Kobe Bryant suffered a disastrous defeat.
A high shooting percentage of 14-for-22 and a triple-double. It's really miserable to still lose like this.
Gasol's mysteriously poor performance against Nowitzki may also be related to the fact that the Mavericks' three towers are stronger than the Lakers' three towers.
The Lakers lost, and their record dropped to 31 wins and 10 losses. Sun Ce was naturally very happy. In the past ten days, the Grizzlies lost to the Raptors and Pistons, and their record was tied by the Lakers. Finally, they were stable again. Sitting second in the league.
The schedules of the Lakers and Grizzlies in January are similar. Because the Lakers have seven consecutive away games before the All-Star Weekend, there are relatively few games in January, only 14 games. Currently, the two teams play the same number of games. 41 games.
Three players had triple-doubles last night, which became news.
There is also an interesting topic in domestic forums. The only teams that still have a chance to break the Bulls' 72-win historical record are the Grizzlies and Spurs. If the Grizzlies win 40 consecutive games, they can break it.
Sun Ce saw that there were many people seriously analyzing how the Grizzlies were going to turn the tide under this post...
"Mr. Yuan has let these people eat too much, right..."
Don't mention it, Sun Ce found it quite interesting.
After a while, Sun Ce saw the various lists and awards announced by the NBA official website last week.
In the East, Chris Paul won the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for two consecutive weeks!
The reason is simple. With a record of 29 wins and 13 losses, the Knicks surpassed the Bulls with 29 wins and 14 losses and topped the Eastern Conference!
The Bulls have played 11 games since the beginning of the new year, with a record of 8 wins and 3 losses, which is not bad. Sloan, such an experienced head coach, will not rashly push the team system to rebuild. At the beginning, he just adjusted the playing time structure, increased the pick-and-roll between Rose and Boozer, Gibson, Noah and others to reduce the burden on Rose's knees, etc.
But they were only two wins away from the Knicks. The Knicks had two winning streaks since 2011, first a 2-1-game streak, then a 7-game winning streak. In the 19-day 10-game schedule, they had a 9-1-game record. With this 7-game winning streak, the Knicks jumped from fourth to first in the Eastern Conference, and Paul won the Player of the Week for two consecutive weeks.
"No way, let me see, the Knicks will play back-to-back games against the Bobcats and Cavaliers at home next... Damn, are they going to play away against a team that has won 9 games in a row?"
