Seven Hundred and Seventeen. Why Is It Him?

Sun Ce is persona non grata in Oklahoma City, and the Grizzlies are team non grata.

It was the weekend, and when Sun Ce and his teammates took the bus to the Ford Center Arena, a large number of Thunder fans gathered at the entrance of the parking lot. Sun Ce could hear the crazy boos and shouts outside the car with the windows closed. Curses.

"Criticize me. I'll make you angry to death when Durant passes away one day."

The Grizzlies held a tactical meeting and tactical training in the morning. Compared to playing against the Nuggets, this time they were more prepared.

After the tactical training, before the break after lunch, Coach Hollins conducted a pre-game mobilization for the players, analyzed the importance of the game against the Thunder, and instilled in the players the awareness that "the Thunder are the mortal enemy."

A team like the Nuggets without All-Star-level players is really not worth watching in the playoffs, and the Thunder are currently viewed as a deadly enemy in the future.

Although the Lakers and Niu have performed explosively this season, their stars have already reached that age. The youngest Yao Ming is already 30 years old. No matter how good their condition is, there will be nothing for them in three or four years.

And in another three or four years, the young stars of the Grizzlies and Thunder will have just reached their peak!

In the same Western Conference, the Grizzlies and Thunder are bound to often face each other in the playoffs, and the playoffs are the place where grudges are most likely to arise. Whether it is the losing side or the winning side, they will have strong hostility towards the other side, just like Between the Celtics and James, the Celtics have won in the past few years, but the hostility between James and the Celtics seems to be deeper than the hostility between James and the Celtics.

Coach Hollins obviously could not have guessed that the Thunder's management would have many magical operations in the future. Judging from his experience, it is a certainty that they will become bitter rivals with the Thunder in the future, and they will 100% lead to confrontation.

Therefore, when playing against the Thunder, you need to have an attitude towards facing your mortal enemy. The Grizzlies are fully prepared.

Another important point is that it is easier to find a way to target the Thunder than against the Nuggets, who have all the troops. As for whether it is effective... Anyway, I didn't guard Durant last time, and this time Tony Allen was wailing. I want to fuck Durant.

…

During the afternoon break, Sun Ce did not continue to study the Thunder, but was really taking a rest. At this time, it was more important to recharge his batteries.

However, there was always someone looking for something for him to do.

Tonight's game between the Grizzlies and Thunder will be broadcast live on ESPN.

Gasol attended the pre-match press conference when he arrived at the arena in the morning, so ESPN requested a pre-match interview with Sun Ce. This was unavoidable.

Sun Ce was brought to the training ground by the team's press officer Kyle to meet the ESPN reporter. There was not much greeting. The relationship between Sun Ce and ESPN was really not good. After the reporter briefly introduced himself, he immediately got to the point.

Sun Ce felt that the other party had prepared sharp questions.

"Lord, Durant thinks that you became the MVP because you relied on your teammates to get such good data. What do you think about this?"

Sure enough, this young reporter, who was wearing a suit and glasses and looked like a gentleman, asked a question that was difficult to answer at the beginning.

Making it clear will add fuel to the fire. Everyone knows that Durant and Sun Ce will not deal with it.

Sun Ce heard this question and replied: "What did you say? Go tell Durant..."

Sun Ce paused as he spoke, and the reporter couldn't help but ask: "Huh? What should you tell him?"

"Tell him that what he said is right."

"..."

The reporter wanted to throw the microphone and leave!

He couldn't talk to Sun Ce. He knew why the seniors didn't rush to interview popular players like Sun Ce. This guy was completely different from other players.

Shouldn't we be fighting for face at this time?

Not to mention, Sun Ce's answer not only did not lose face, but even the reporter felt that he was humble and confident.

There is a sense of not being afraid of questioning.

This made the reporter not sure how to ask the follow-up questions he had originally planned.

But the interview must go on.

The question has been taken astray, and the reporter asked a very strange question: "Lord, who do you think is the best among your teammates, and who has given you the most help?"

Not to mention that this person was in a hurry, but he might have had an idea. When this question was asked, the reporter himself thought it was a very good question, although the way of asking it was a bit weird.

This question is also difficult, but Sun Ce has experienced hundreds of battles and answered: "Zach, I think he is the best inside player in the world. He is a true superstar and All-Star player. He taught me A lot of skills, and he always performs best when we have trouble in the game. In the last game we played against the Nuggets, Zach scored 31 points. No one is better than him. I think he can definitely do it. Entering the All-Stars..."

Another stab in the reporter's heart.

Ten seconds ago, this reporter felt that he had asked another sharp question. Because the Grizzlies have many talented players, if he asked who would help Sun Ce the most, no matter who Sun Ce talked about, he could find a breakthrough point in the topic. Ask tougher questions.

If Sun Ce hesitates, then he can guide public opinion in the news and equate Sun Ce with hypocrisy. At least such news will be interesting.

But Sun Ce talked about Randolph without any hesitation, and avoided the question of who helped him the most, and directly started to brag about Randolph...

What he wants is the contradictions about Sun Ce to cause conflicts between Sun Ce and others, not Randolph!

Although Sun Ce's praise of Randolph can be considered a topic, this is not what the reporter wanted at the beginning.

The young ESPN reporter began to doubt life like his predecessors... Sun Ce's brain circuit is too different from others!

...

Interviews are small things, and Sun Ce is used to big scenes.

Unlike those players who have been the focus of attention since high school or even junior high school, and have been interviewed and have the habit of answering questions, his answers are not so many rules and regulations, and he always plays cards out of the routine.

Of course, unlike the beginning of the day, he will at least avoid troublesome questions in a roundabout way.

The main reason is that it is troublesome, these uncrowned kings are too troublesome.

As for pushing Randolph out as a shield again, Sun Ce is not shirking the blame, nor does he want Randolph to help him take on the topic, but about Randolph's entry into the All-Stars.

The All-Star lineup will be announced tomorrow, and the next step is the stage for the head coaches to vote for the All-Star substitutes, which is expected to be announced at the beginning of next month.

Randolph is going to be an All-Star substitute, and the situation is not optimistic.

Randolph currently averages 18.6 points, 10 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game, the Lakers' Pau Gasol averages 18.3 points, 10 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game, the Trail Blazers' Aldridge averages 21 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists per game, and although the Spurs' Duncan's data is not very good, the Spurs must have one or two All-Stars with such a good record. As the No. 1 power forward in history, Duncan deserves to be selected...

Compared with these people, Randolph has little advantage, and he has been discriminated against in terms of winning awards. Of course, it was caused by his own self-destruction in the past, but it definitely had an impact on Randolph's entry into the All-Stars.

The key is that Roy and Kobe are building momentum for their teammates recently!

When Sun Ce was browsing the news in the hotel yesterday, he saw Kobe building momentum for Pau Gasol, who had just scored a triple-double and led the team to victory. Pau Gasol's selection for the All-Stars this year is in a serious situation. At the beginning, Pau Gasol once received more votes than Anthony in the All-Stars. Later, after Anthony averaged 29.5 points per game and led the scoring champion, his votes surpassed Duncan and Pau Gasol, and Kobe began to protect his team.

On Aldridge's side, the angle is more tricky. Aldridge directly stated that if Gasol enters the All-Star Game again, he should also enter, because Gasol had never won a playoff game before meeting Kobe, but he did.

Roy agreed with this.

Their statements will more or less affect the thoughts of the head coaches of each team when voting. Originally, the performance of these people this season is not much different. There are usually 3 All-Star substitutes in the inside line. At most, one of the small forwards will be taken away, which is 4. Duncan occupies one, Nowitzki occupies one, and it is too difficult for others.

So, Sun Ce is building momentum for Randolph.

In terms of the relationship with the coaches of each team, he, Sun Ce, is definitely not as good as Roy, who has played for 3 more years. Moreover, Roy came from the orthodox basketball system of the United States, has a high basketball IQ, and will become a coach in the future. Sun Ce's network is not as good as Roy, not to mention compared with Kobe.

The effect of canvassing votes for these two people will be better than him.

But now Sun Ce has an advantage. No matter how big the chances are, other teams will want to have a good relationship with him. The head coach may not have that intention, but the management will see the direction of the wind.

Sun Ce can do so much. The main reason is that Randolph has passed the mid-season and is now starting to recover. In the last game against the Nuggets, Randolph performed strongly. Most of the time, he relied on his personal offense to compete with the Nuggets' team play, which gave him the opportunity to solve the game in the end.

As for whether Randolph would be angry because of his blame-shifting...

Impossible. Based on Sun Ce's understanding of Randolph, this guy is eager to be in the limelight, and he is extremely confident and firmly believes that he can be selected as an All-Star. Otherwise, why would he find him and say that he wants to perform together before the All-Star Game?

Moreover, Sun Ce also saw Randolph's efforts. Recently, Randolph has been training very hard. After keeping his weight within a controllable range of about 125-126 kg, Randolph has been working hard on technical training to regain his mid-range shooting feeling. Sun Ce estimates that Randolph's weight can drop to about 122-123 kg by the end of the season. At that time, his condition is estimated to be at its best, and he, Sun, can show off the strength of his team in the playoffs.

It's great to have a superstar-level inside player.

Sun Ce did these things, but the focus is still on Randolph's performance on the court, and the key is the final impression of those coaches on these candidates before voting, which is very important.

Therefore, more passes need to be made to Randolph in the next game, of course, winning is the first priority.

...

...

The Ford Center was full of boos!

At 6:10 in the evening, the Grizzlies' away game against the Thunder was about to begin.

As soon as Sun Ce, the first player to appear on the visiting team, came out, the Thunder fans gave Sun Ce the warmest reception.

Sun Ce was a little unhappy when he came here to play basketball this time. Fatty Deng and Sewer Turtle didn't come to play with him!

The last time they played against the Thunder, they were also away from home. The two of them came to play with him. Although one was funny and the other was noble and cold, they came to play with him. Although Westbrook watched him and Harden fighting, they came.

This time, neither of them came to talk to him before the game!

Westbrook and Harden, who were still in the dark, also wanted to!

Harden was okay. He was lively and cheerful. He didn't go to play with Sun Ce. He had other things to do.

But Westbrook, a stubborn guy, wanted to talk to Sun Ce about his experience of getting a triple-double.

He tried his best to get rebounds and pass the ball more, but he has only got 7 triple-doubles so far. Of course, 7 triple-doubles is a lot. Even James has only 7 triple-doubles in the season with the most.

However, if compared with Sun Ce, it is far behind. Sun Ce does not seem to deliberately pass the ball more, and he does not feel like he wants to get a triple-double, but he is still the triple-double king of this season!

It only took 42 games to get 10 triple-doubles!

But there is no way. Sun Ce and Durant are now incompatible. Although the two have not met many times, they are incompatible.

The two still care about Durant's feelings. After all, Durant is their teammate.

After the two teams came on the court, they had no communication with each other.

This feels like the Cavaliers and Celtics in the 2007-08 season. At that time, the two teams actually had no grudges, but whether it was the fans or the media, or even their coaches and players, they could see that they wanted to win the championship, and the biggest opponent in the East was the other team. So from the first match between the two teams in the 2007-08 season, James and the Big Three almost fought each other. Every confrontation was like a fight, which has continued to this day and will continue in the future.

The Grizzlies and Thunder are the same. Coach Hollins regards the Thunder as his future mortal enemy, and the Thunder head coach Brooks on the opposite side is the same. Both sides have mobilized hostility against each other.

"Durant, ability rating S, offense S+, defense A; Westbrook, ability rating A+, offense A+, defense B+; Harden, ability rating B, offense A, defense C+; Ibaka, ability rating A, offense C+, defense A+; Perkins, ability rating C+, offense F, defense A; Sefrosa, ability rating B-, offense D, defense A+..."

The Thunder is really strong! And among the core four players, Durant, who has the longest playing experience, is only in the fourth grade...

When Harden grows to the best sixth man level next season, it will be troublesome.

However, Sun Ce is still a little excited. The four major stars of the Thunder all have good performances and are on the same team. There is only one season next season, and Sun Ce is still looking forward to it.

When the game is about to start, as expected, the system prompts came, but the new event is different from what Sun Ce expected!

"Why is it him? Where is Brother Bathwater?"

...

Please guarantee the minimum monthly ticket! There is at least one chapter in the evening. I am not in a good state today. Sorry that I can't burst at the beginning of the month.
