Six Hundred and Ninety. Here It Comes!

"Noah, Mike said he forgot the time while meditating. What is meditation? I heard that the head coach of the Lakers was meditating during the game."

"Maybe he just fell asleep."

"Mike fell asleep on the toilet?"

"That's what you said."

"..."

"..."

Conley listened to Sun Ce and Randolph, two funny guys, deliberately whispering beside him. The whispers were so loud that they seemed to be heard by the whole world, but he didn't care.

How could these mortals understand what he was doing?

In such a closed small space, inspiration was pouring out, as if the door to heaven was opened... Mainly because he felt his brain was particularly clear when sitting on the toilet. He didn't know why. Anyway, he sat there for two hours before the game, which was very helpful for him to sort out the game, determine what he could do and what he should do.

The warm-up was over, and Sun Ce and his teammates were waiting to enter the player channel.

Sun Ce and Randolph deliberately teased Conley, but Conley didn't react at all. Sun Ce felt that this teammate had a strong psychological quality.

After waiting for a while, the name of the second-in-command of the visiting team, Sun Ce, was called. The spotlight was on the entrance of the visiting team's player tunnel. Sun Ce ran out of the player tunnel and high-fived his substitute teammates on both sides.

At the entrance of the other player tunnel, a 183cm man was staring at Sun Ce who ran out. This sophomore's performance was much better than his sophomore year. In addition, the team's record was good, and he was already a hot favorite for MVP in his sophomore year. The 183cm man stared at Sun Ce as if he was robbing him.

Isn't it robbery?

He finally turned his luck around and became a hot favorite for MVP again, but the result was the same as in 2008, and an extremely difficult opponent appeared.

32 wins and 9 losses, averaging 19.8 points, 12.5 rebounds, 6.6 assists, and 3.6 blocks per game...

These data made him feel painful, the data was too strong!

When Sun Ce came on the court, some fans cheered.

Last season, when the Grizzlies came here, Sun Ce scored 5 points, 5 rebounds, and 12 assists. Such data only played for 16 minutes,

because the Grizzlies won by 51 points!

After that game, many New York fans felt that Sun Ce had a promising future. Now, Sun Ce has become the hottest player of the year!

After a while, all the players from both teams appeared on the court.

The Grizzlies may not be so attractive to non-Grizzlies fans and non-Sun Ce fans now, but the ratings of their games are still quite good.

Tonight's game was jointly broadcast live in North America by Canada's CBS and American Cable TV, and the ratings were much higher than the Knicks' usual live broadcasts.

Among the Grizzlies players, Yi Jianlian and Jordan have become the magic weapon to attract ratings. Their unique looks are so unique that no TV station will not give them the camera when broadcasting live.

Moreover, the two of them are very eye-catching every time they go to away games. Seeing their looks in person is more impactful than watching them on TV live.

After the pre-match cheerleading performance, Sun Ce and his teammates practiced shooting and dribbling in their own half court, taking advantage of the last preparation time before the game to find the feeling of the game.

While practicing dribbling, Sun Ce looked at the ability evaluation of the Knicks players.

"Chris Paul, 26 years old, ability rating S, offense S-, defense S-, passing S+..."

Paul is really strong in Sun Ce's opinion!

Under the Knicks' style of play, Paul can barely maintain his personal defensive efficiency at the edge of the best defensive lineup, and his personal offensive performance is also very good, with great offensive threats. Therefore, his performance in organizing offense under the run-and-gun system is really not inferior to Nash's back then.

"Amar'e Stoudemire, ability rating S-, offense S+, defense C-...averaging 25.6 points, 9.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.9 blocks per game..."

He is extremely strong on the offensive end, the strongest scorer in the interior this season, but his defense is very poor. His average of 1.9 blocks per game looks okay, but because of these 1.9 blocks, he is more likely to be shaken off, just like Jordan in the original time and space, but the data looks good.

If you really want to compare, Jordan, who is now accustomed to actively blocking positions, is more effective on the defensive end.

In fact, in most defenses, whether the inside players jump or not has little impact on the defensive results. Duncan now stands on tiptoe to block shots, and the interference from the outside players who break through is still strong.

These two stars are strong, and the role players now look good too!

Under the running and gunning system coached by D'Antoni himself, the progress of many players seems incredible, just like Dio back then. No one could have imagined that Dio, who averaged only 4 points per game in his second year, would become a top-notch organizing center averaging 13+6+6 in his third year with the Suns?

The running and gunning of the Knicks is still very different from that of the Suns. Paul's ball possession rate is higher than Nash's. Therefore, the players who have made outstanding progress in the Knicks are all shooters with certain ball distribution capabilities!

Among them, there are two most outstanding players recently, the short forward Sean Williams who served as the center of the Knicks this season, and Steve Novak who was sent out by the Mavericks when they got Peja and was cut by the Hornets.

"Shawn Williams, 25 years old, ability rating B, offense B+, defense C+, three-pointer A+... average playing time 26 minutes per game, average 12.5 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2 assists... three-pointer hit rate 39.5%, average three-pointer hits per game: 1.9..."

"Steve Novak, 28 years old, ability rating C+... three-pointer S-... three-pointer hit rate 57%, 1.2 three-pointers per game, 11 minutes per game..."

There are also role players such as Landry Fields, Derrick Brown, Turiaf, Mozgov, Sheldon Williams, etc. who have performed well.

Looking at the uneven playing time of these players, they are all very efficient. The playing time is obviously arranged according to comprehensive considerations of strength, physical strength and other aspects. Whoever is needed at what time will be allowed to play.

In this match, the Knicks and the Knicks team that had not been fully integrated at the beginning of the season were completely different in Sun Ce's view!

...

At 5:58, the referee signaled the players of both teams to go on the court, and the others left the court.

Sun Ce tied up his wristbands, put on his arm guards, rubbed some magnesium powder, and came to the court.

The Knicks and Grizzlies players barely communicated before the game. Randolph did not communicate with the other players. First, the Knicks players had already been replaced. Second, it was not a pleasant experience for him to play here.

There was no communication between the others. Only Stoudemire chatted with Sun Ce while applying the magnesium powder. Because most of the Knicks players saw the Grizzlies for the second time, they really couldn't remember their names!

Compared with the fans, the players' understanding of the players of other teams is more lagging. Many Knicks players are very popular this season, especially after the Knicks won 11 wins and 1 loss in the 12 games after entering 2011 and topped the Eastern Conference. Those water dispenser managers, marginal players, and second-round picks who were not very famous originally became popular!

But for the players of other teams, these people are still quite unfamiliar. They still have games to play, so how can they have the time to understand the role players of another team.

The Grizzlies' lineup is all back, with Sun Ce, Conley, Battier, Randolph, and Gasol appearing.

On the Knicks side, Paul, Bill Walker, Landry Fields, Stoudemire, and Sean Williams appeared.

"17.7 points, 8.5 points, 11.3 points, 25.6 points, 12.5 points... Awesome! The average points per game are almost the same as the Mavericks and the Lakers!"

Sun Ce has a new view on D'Antoni's coaching ability, which is very suitable for the small ball era in the future when the defense of the entire NBA will be cut!

Sun Ce has heard and seen many people say that a certain player was born at the wrong time, and if he entered the NBA after 2015, he would play better and better. Some said Garnett, some said Odom, and some said Dio...

But in Sun Ce's opinion, Nash is the one who was "born at the wrong time". Most people are lamenting the inside line, but they ignore that the biggest winner in the small ball era is Curry.

Sun Ce thought about it, the duel between peak Nash and peak Curry in the point guard line...

Putting away these messy thoughts, feeling Paul's burning eyes, Sun Ce focused his attention, and the duel with the strongest point guard is here!
