Seven Hundred and Four. What to Do if Your Teammates Are Too Good?
The longer he stayed in the NBA, the more times Sun Ce felt that his worldview was refreshed.
No one talks about basketball all the time, and no one devotes their entire life to basketball. Randolph is like this. Sun Ce feels that even Kobe is like this, and he, Sun, is actually the same.
Just like doing a job that you love very much, it is impossible to say that you treat your job as your life and be meticulous. At work, you will still chat with your good colleagues about some random things, make dirty jokes, and talk nonsense.
But Sun Ce has never met a brainless Randolph.
Sun Ce doesn't know whether Randolph said it casually or really helped the team to keep him to increase the bargaining chips... But when he looks at Randolph, Sun Ce feels that this guy is a little mentally retarded.
Putting aside Randolph's slightly mentally retarded mentality or the mentality of being a child at the age of 30, Sun Ce has benefited a lot from training with Randolph.
Practical combat is important, but it is also important to find solutions to some problems in practical combat during training. As the saying goes, those who are involved are often confused. It is quite necessary to have a good trainer, otherwise Coach Hollins would not help Sun Ce to invite Tim Hardaway back.
In terms of low post, Randolph took on this role today and guided Sun Ce on the details of low post singles.
The training lasted until 10 o'clock in the morning. The training started at 8 o'clock and has been practiced for two hours. Sun Ce still needs to practice for a while, and Randolph is ready to go back to rest.
Randolph is not saying that he can't practice anymore, but he has to conserve his energy to prepare for tomorrow's game, and there is also tactical training in the afternoon.
"Noah, the arrangement of the All-Star Game is left to you, our band is going to go to the world!"
"..."
Watching Randolph leave with a step that does not recognize his relatives, Sun Ce has nothing to say.
Sun Ce found that Randolph is not not making trouble. This guy is still making trouble off the court, but the way of making trouble has changed!
This guy doesn't play underworld with his teammates anymore, and he thinks about performing every day!
Just when Sun Ce felt a little desperate, something even more desperate happened.
"Due to Zach Randolph's strong appeal, the special event: Shining Angel City is triggered..."
"Fuck! I am here to play basketball! Not to sing and dance rap basketball!"
...
...
After the team training and personal Nash training in the afternoon, Sun Ce rested for a night and came to the stadium early the next day to prepare for tonight's game.
In the last two games of this month, looking at his team's record of 34 wins and 9 losses, Sun Ce really wanted to keep the "hope" of breaking 72 wins after the first three months of the season.
Although it's just for fun, dreams must be pursued. If it weren't for the Warriors' 73 wins and runner-up, Sun Ce would not dare to think that a team could break 72 wins, let alone that a team that broke 72 wins would not win the championship.
He didn't practice too much when he first arrived at the stadium. Sun Ce practiced the adjustment of hand shape details with Tim Hardaway. After practicing for half an hour, he watched the Nuggets' game video in the lounge.
Yesterday, Sun Ce also watched the video of the Nuggets. From the perspective of a defensive team, it is really difficult to grasp the key points of defending the Nuggets.
Sun Ce thought of the series of the Warriors who defeated the peak Nuggets in the original time and space. Sun Ce had seen that series. The Warriors relied mainly on defense and rebounding, and Curry was not the decisive factor. Only Curry and Lawson averaged 20+ per game on both teams, but the Warriors had a super substitute who averaged 18 points and 7 assists per game-Jack the Great God. In general, Curry really turned around in the 14-15 season, because the Warriors played very poorly in the 13-14 season. The underdog defeated the Nuggets and made Jarrett Jack very angry. The next season, he went to the Cavaliers and got a 3-year, 20 million contract.
The greatest achievement of Curry that year was that he was not defeated by Jack the Great God, which laid the foundation for the future MVP.
Sun Ce did not force it to grasp the key points of the Nuggets. If he couldn't think of a way, he would leave it to the coaching staff. He believed that their defense would definitely be better than that Warriors team, and he just had to work hard to win.
After watching the video for a while, teammates came to the stadium one after another. When Sun Ce saw Randolph, he couldn't help but look at the event of yesterday.
"Shining Angel City (*): Shining appearance in the Los Angeles All-Star Weekend...
Precondition of the event: The host and Zach Randolph are both selected for the All-Star Game..."
It's still painful.
But it may not be triggered. There are preconditions. He, Sun, will definitely be selected for the All-Star Game. The position of Western guard is occupied by him and the guy on the West Coast. In the second round of voting announced on the 21st, he ranked second among Western guards, more than 500,000 votes more than the third.
It's hard to say about Randolph. It depends on whether Randolph can be recognized by the head coaches in the league. Randolph averaged 21+11 last season. Although Sun Ce, Gay, Gasol and Battier who joined in the middle played a big role in the rise of the Grizzlies last season, everyone can see that without Randolph, the Grizzlies last season were nothing. Randolph was selected as an All-Star substitute and the best lineup as a matter of course.
But Randolph played 38 games this season, averaging 18.5 points and 9.6 rebounds per game. His performance is definitely at the All-Star level, but he is not as unstoppable as last season. His performance is sometimes good and sometimes bad. In addition, he has always been disliked by coaches of various teams, so it is really hard to say.
Sun Ce remembered that in the original time and space, Randolph had been selected as an All-Star twice during his time with the Grizzlies, once in the 09-10 season and once in the 12-13 season. He was not selected as an All-Star in the 10-11 season, which was the black eighth season.
Sun Ce was originally very surprised. The 10-11 season should be the best season of Randolph's career. After becoming teammates with Randolph in person, Sun Ce knew that Randolph's performance before the All-Star Weekend this season was average. Of course, it was relatively Randolph himself was average for five or six seasons with the Kings.
For a player with a dark history like Randolph, it is much harder to win honors than other stars of the same level.
However, Sun Ce sincerely hopes that Randolph can be selected for the All-Star Game. First of all, going alone is a bit miserable, and then regarding the new incident, although it is a bit painful, it is quite fun when you think about it...
…
After the morning tactical meeting and tactical training, Sun Ce had lunch with his teammates.
After lunch, teammates learned about Sun Ce’s fifth Player of the Week award from mobile phones, TVs, computers and other channels.
Seeing this news, the teammates had no emotions. It was so normal. They played 12 games this month, with 10 wins and 2 losses. This is inseparable from Sun Ce’s explosive performance this month. In the past month, the Grizzlies The performance on the defensive end did not decline much, but on the offensive end, Sun Ce had to rely on Sun Ce to carry the team forward for a long time. Therefore, Sun Ce became the favorite for the Western Conference Player of the Month this month. The Grizzlies played 3 games last week. They won all 3 games, including Sun Ce's super triple-double in the Knicks game. If they didn't win the best of the week, they would complain about the league to reporters.
This month is coming to an end, and the candidates for the Best of the Month in the East and West are all out. In the East, Paul is basically guaranteed to win the Best of the Month, even if they lose all the back-to-back games tonight and tomorrow, Paul will win the Best of the Month. The probability of winning is also very high, and the previous wave of 9 consecutive victories is really impressive.
In the West, Sun Ce is the favorite for the monthly award, but the one who is more popular than him is Kobe. The Lakers' performance this month is actually better than the previous two months. Since the Lakers have two more games than the Grizzlies this month, They lost two games like the Grizzlies, but they had to win two more games. They were almost catching up with the Grizzlies. The Nobles were always so unpredictable.
In addition to these two people, there are two favorites, but these two favorites are not players, but two lineups, the Nuggets and Spurs. These two teams are expected to win the team best of the month.
It often happens that stars from two different teams win the Best of the Month at the same time, but it is very rare for multiple players from the same team to win the Best of the Month. The last time was the Pistons in the 2005-06 season.
After a short lunch break, Tony Allen, Gasol, and Battier organized a player meeting to discuss tonight's defense.
Sun Ce felt like he was nothing after listening to the analysis of teacher Tony, his sister-in-law, and the president.
Although he, Sun, worked very hard to improve his tactical literacy, constantly studying the two tactical books, and asking the team editor to find those classic videos of iconic coaches leading the team for analysis based on the tactics he wanted to study. , He also seizes actual combat opportunities to analyze during the game, and can also make a certain independent analysis of the opponent's defense and offense during the game. Blocking so many shots is not only due to the help of his teammates, it is even more critical that he has the consciousness to make up for it.
But compared with these three people, they are still far behind. Teacher Tony looks like a reckless man, but his defense is not purely physical. He has very good defensive awareness and good analytical skills. He only plays more than 20 games per game. Minutes of first-guard favorites are not given for free.
Battier and Gasol are also leaders on the defensive end. The team's defensive assistants arranged a tactical plan based on the characteristics of the team. Facing tonight's opponent, who is a headache for everyone, the three discussed some based on the tactical framework. Something about the details.
To deal with the Spurs' brand-new tactics, the experience of these few people cannot be used. There is no way. But against the Nuggets, although they look very similar in terms of points per game, passing rate, etc., the Nuggets' game Ranking first in the league with 24.2 assists per game, higher than the Spurs, who average 23.9 assists per game, and the Knicks, who average 23.5 assists per game, but they are the easiest to deal with.
Sun Ce couldn't think of a way and could only rely on the team, but these three brothers can strengthen the details of the defense assigned by the team's defensive assistant!
Sun Ce didn't know whether to be happy or happy. His teammates were so good, which made him look stupid, but it was really cool to have such good teammates!
…
…
At 5:10 pm, players from both teams entered the stadium.
When the Nuggets players entered the stadium, boos were everywhere. Sun Ce stood at the entrance of the player tunnel and listened to his fans booing his opponents. It felt very exciting, although as a visiting player, it is very difficult to go to the Knicks or Lakers home court. It's cool. The former has been rotten for too long and will switch sides when he sees a popular star. The latter simply looks down on anyone who is not a superstar who has a grudge against Kobe. Or they didn't react at all when the Celtics went to the Staples Center.
But as a home team player, Sun Ce couldn't stand it if he couldn't hear his own fans booing the other team. It would be even more unbearable than not having fans cheering.
After the visiting team started the game, the Grizzlies team led the duo to stand on both sides of the tunnel. When the familiar refrain of "Until the End of the World" sounded, the lights shone on Yi Jianlian and DeAndre Jordan.
Yi Jianlian's hands behind his back still couldn't help but tremble, but he had already adapted to it and got used to it; Jordan flipped his hair in front of the reflective camera, which was so sexy.
Sun Ce stood at the entrance of the players' tunnel and felt that all the shots were being taken away!
No, when Sun Ce ran out, there were still people shouting "Uncle Huang" and "Tongshang Yi".
Yi Jianlian seemed to be quite jealous when he saw Sun Ce's jealous look. He was originally somewhat resistant to this kind of shame, but suddenly he felt happy.
Every time Yi Jianlian wanted to shave his hair because it was too long, he would think of Sun Ce's jealous look, and then go to the hair salon he was already familiar with to get his hair trimmed, permed, and dyed...
Sun Ce was jealous for a moment, but he had no urge to join in at all. He was just jealous for a moment.
Just when Sun Ce and the substitutes shook hands and stood next to Yi Jianlian waiting for the rest of his teammates to come out, he felt a gaze of attention, as if he was being stared at by an "enemy".
After the lights came on, Sun Ce knew who it was.
Ty Lawson!
This rookie from the same class!
Sun Ce was a little puzzled. Although he valued the Nuggets, he had no grudge against Lawson...
"What's wrong with this guy? Wasn't he still so mean when he played against them last time? Or did he become arrogant after seeing his stats improve?"
"Ty Lawson, 23 years old, 180 cm tall, 88 kg in weight, ability rating B, offense A-, defense C+, three-pointer B+, mid-range shot C-, layup B+, speed S, strength B-..."
Sun Ce looked at Lawson's ability rating and was puzzled for a while, but didn't care too much. It wasn't the first time he was treated with hostility. Relatively speaking, Lowry was stronger and more troublesome.
"Kyrie Lowry, 25 years old, 185 cm tall, 90 kg in weight, ability rating A-, offense A, defense B, three-pointer C, mid-range shot B+, layup A, speed A+, strength A+..."
In addition to Lowry, a late bloomer who will become stronger and stronger in the future, there are also three A-level players, Gallinari, Wilson Chandler, and Nene, plus Ariza, A+, Afflalo, and Al Harrington, B-level...
It's hard for Sun Ce to focus on Lawson!
There is another very important point. Sun Ce knows that Lawson is an alcoholic. In three or four years, after Lawson's peak speed has passed, he will soon fade out of the league. Sun Ce will pay attention to the game with Lawson, but he didn't put Lawson on the list of future opponents at all.
On the other side, Lawson, as Sun Ce thought, is now "inflated". At the beginning of the season, he was really afraid of Sun Ce. At that time, the Grizzlies were in a winning streak at the beginning, and the Nuggets had no ability to resist and were beaten.
But as the season progressed, the Nuggets stabilized their momentum. Lawson and Lowry's point guard rotation was very powerful. Lawson's performance in promoting counterattacks was getting better and better. Especially after entering January, the Nuggets had a record of 12 wins and 3 losses, and Lawson's confidence also rose.
Seeing that Sun Ce glanced at him and then turned his attention to Lowry, Lawson was furious!
"Too contemptuous!"
...
When Sun Ce looked at Lowry, Lowry also looked at him.
Last season, Lowry was "used" by Sun Ce and was used by Sun Ce as a "tool man" to stimulate Brooks. Although he didn't hate that feeling, it was a rare time in his career that he was valued by his opponents. But after that, he would work hard when playing against Sun Ce, which was a kind of respect as an opponent.
Just when Sun Ce and Lowry looked at each other, full of desire for the game, the system prompt came.
"Damn! Who the hell underestimated him? I ignored him, okay?"
