Six Hundred and Eighty-Six. The Best Opponent

In the West, the Lakers had a record of 3 wins and 1 loss last week. Kobe also got a triple-double in the game he lost. He averaged 32 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists in four games and won the Western Conference Player of the Week.

In the rookie list, Griffin is almost lonely and invincible.

In the MVP rankings, Paul, who was fourth last week, won the Player of the Week for the second consecutive week and rushed to the first place! Kobe, who has been performing well recently, has risen to the second place. Sun Ce finally climbed to the first place last week, but was beaten to the third place again.

Howard is fourth, James is fifth, Rose is sixth, and Durant is seventh.

After Rose is no longer dominating the list, the situation of MVP competition is more chaotic than Sun Ce imagined. It is not a simple Rose down Howard up in the original time and space, nor is it that Rose down and Sun someone goes up, but it has become a battle among heroes!

Seeing Paul won the first place in the MVP rankings last week, Sun Ce felt a lot of pressure.

The worst case of sniping Paul to win the MVP has happened. The Knicks really beat the first place in the East.

Never underestimate the strength of a running and gunning team in the regular season!

Just like the Suns back then, now when you look at the Knicks, except for Paul and Stoudemire, most of their players are not well-known to non-Knicks fans, but they play very well, can run, shoot, and have a certain second pass ability, and only these three skills are enough.

The Suns back then were the same, but now, the players of that Suns team are still talked about by fans.

The Spurs were defeated by the Knicks' running and gunning. Although the Grizzlies won the last time against the Knicks, the Knicks have obviously entered their best form after entering the new year!

I don't know if Stoudemire is because he doesn't have to support the team alone like in the original time and space, and he doesn't have minor injuries like in the original time and space. He plays very easily and has no tendency to get injured for the time being...

This is a bit too much, just when the Knicks are in their best form!

Sun Ce felt a bit annoyed, but it seemed like he had really encountered such a situation. He could only hope that the Bobcats and the Nets would be able to do well...

Sun Ce thought about the state of the two teams when he played against them recently. Neither team played badly. The Bobcats would not play badly. It was the various operations of Boss Joe that caused the lineup to be really bad. All four frontcourt players of a team left, but they still played very hard. The Grizzlies failed to kill the Bobcats with one hammer last night.

The Cavaliers also worked hard.

The players wanted to perform well and look forward to getting the next contract.

But these two teams...

Sun Ce still didn't expect it, and was ready to play against the team with 9 consecutive wins.

After reading the latest list, Sun Ce ate pizza while aimlessly browsing the news.

A big deal was really found.

ESPN reporter David Taylor broke the news that in order to get rid of Baron Davis and the big contract of 42 million for 3 years this season, the Clippers sent the 2011 first-round unprotected draft pick and Baron Davis to the Cavaliers in exchange for Mo Williams, who was in better condition and had a much lower salary.

Mo Williams has a two-year contract including this season, and the total salary for the two years is only 17.8 million US dollars. The Clippers have saved a lot of money.

Sun Ce looked at the analysis in the revelation, and the Clippers seemed to use Griffin as a selling point to attract a super outside player in the summer of 2012.

In the summer of 2012, Deron and Paul could both opt out of their contracts. Both of them renewed their 3+1+1 contracts in advance in 2008, which took effect in 2009. Anthony exercised the player option and entered the free market in the summer of 2012.

In addition to them, there are also Duncan, Garnett, Randolph, Ray Allen, Lowry, Dragic... and other players whose contracts expired in 2012.

Sun Ce feels that the Clippers want to operate well. Since the free market started last summer, the operation has been quite good. This deal seems to be fine. The Clippers seem to have nothing to do with the top three picks this season.

But Sun Ce remembered that in the original time and space, the Clippers' draft pick, which had only a 6% chance of winning the No. 1 pick, actually won the No. 1 pick.

However, in this time and space, Sun Ce is not sure whether this draft pick can still become the No. 1 pick, as the changes are too great.

What is certain is that the Cavaliers will work harder to win, and try to lower their team's draft pick order to increase the probability of winning the draft pick from the Clippers.

Sun Ce doesn't really care. What can the No. 1 pick do even if they give it to the Grizzlies? Pick Irving back and give the ball to Irving?

Irving has been brushing up data for three years with the Cavaliers, and has brushed out two No. 1 picks in three years. They can't use them, so it's better to be happy with Conley.

Sun Ce used to think that the Clippers were stupid for not adding a protection clause to this draft pick, but now seeing the salary comparison, and Paul, Deron, and Anthony who will test the free market in 2012 regardless of his presence, he thinks that the Clippers' trade is understandable. At least it is not stupid, just bad luck. God knows that the 6% probability can also become the No. 1 pick, which is only a little higher than the probability of Yao Ming and Rose being the No. 1 pick in two years.

…

After a lazy day of rest, on the morning of the 21st, Sun Ce focused again and started training.

The main thing is the adjustment of the three-point hand shape, and the fine-tuning of the hand shape in multiple positions. It is necessary to practice until the muscle memory of each position will naturally adjust the shooting hand shape according to the angle with the backboard when shooting.

Sun Ce's three-point evaluation progress stagnated, and even regressed at one point, because Tim Hardaway asked him to practice not only the bottom corner, but all areas including the entire top arc, the two sides of the sideline, and the two 45-degree angles.

You can practice separately when practicing accuracy, but when practicing the muscle memory of shooting movements, all positions must be practiced to make it easier to develop new shooting positions in the future.

The foundation must be laid!

However, there is one thing that Tim Hardaway cannot understand. Sun Ce himself feels painful, that is, the three-pointer from the right bottom corner feels better than the feeling of shooting. He is used to the hook from the right baseline, but he is not used to changing the shooting posture at this angle.

He started training at more than seven in the morning, three and a half hours in the morning and two and a half hours in the afternoon, plus the Nash training method. After taking a shower in the gym, Sun Ce changed back to his own clothes and dragged his tired body back to the apartment.

Today was as usual, and he had a fulfilling life. Sun Ce planned to take a bath after returning home and chat with his little sister girlfriend on the phone for a long time, and then go to bed. He will go to New York tomorrow.

But when he came out of the elevator and looked towards his door, he was shocked!

A guy who was not as tall as him but was definitely tall among ordinary people was squatting at his door, hugging his legs and nodding his head, looking so sleepy that he was about to fall asleep...
