Seven Hundred and Thirty-Six. Happiness Is Shared by Everyone

It is not easy to be selected as an All-Star reserve over Griffin, Aldridge and Love, especially since Randolph had many bad games in the early and middle stages of this season.

Aldridge is one of the two stars of the Trail Blazers. He has averaged 20+ per game this season, and the Trail Blazers have a good record.

Griffin is a rising star promoted by the league, and Love is the data king.

Randolph was able to surpass these three people, of course, because of his efforts, but Sun Ce has been building momentum for him since he played well last month, which made Randolph very grateful.

But this is not the point. The point is that Randolph feels that he has started to get lucky after meeting Sun Ce!

He didn't have the opportunity to enter the All-Star before. When he averaged 20+10 per game for several consecutive years, few head coaches voted for him.

Wherever he goes to play, the fans and teammates there regard him as a plague god.

When he first arrived at the Grizzlies, his teammates were afraid of him and didn't dare to contact him. In addition, the Grizzlies lost at the beginning of last season, and he was once again regarded as a plague by the fans. Because the Grizzlies had a core combination of Conley, Mayo, Gay, and Gasol, and their progress could be seen, but Randolph played so badly. The fans didn't care that the team had no substitutes, and they were angry at Randolph anyway.

Then the management traded Thabit for Sun Ce, and there were people on the bench. The Grizzlies started to win, and Randolph's importance was reflected. He began to be recognized by the fans and was selected for the All-Star Weekend.

Originally, Randolph didn't play well in the early stage of this season and had no chance to enter the All-Stars, but because the team had a good record, he was the second best player in the team. With the help of Sun Ce, his teammates, and the coaching staff, he was selected as an All-Star substitute...

It's not an easy thing to be selected as an All-Star for two consecutive years! Especially for a player like him who was once notorious, it's not easy.

Randolph is not stupid. He can see that Sun Ce played a big role in it. Otherwise, those head coaches could have chosen Griffin, Aldridge, or even Love. At least these people have a positive image.

Although Randolph's image has improved, many people still have prejudices against him. Moreover, the Grizzlies are not a popular team. The popularity is concentrated on him, Sun Ce, Yi Jianlian, and Jordan. Instead, their team is regarded as a spoiler to put it nicely, and to put it bluntly...

Even if such a team is strong, few people can be selected as All-Stars. For example, the Pistons at that time only had Ben Wallace's high popularity, so they were selected as All-Stars for many consecutive years. Billups and Hamilton were selected as All-Stars after winning the championship.

Therefore, Randolph wants to hold Sun Ce's thigh tightly!

…

After being selected as an All-Star reserve, Randolph went out with Tony Allen, DeAndre Jordan, Yi Jianlian, and other teammates who didn’t look like good people, eating, drinking, and flirting with girls. Today, they relaxed. They played 4 games in 5 days, and tomorrow is a back-to-back game. Although they only lost one game, they were more or less stressed.

No matter which level of the league you are in, you will feel pressure, unless you are a veteran who has already achieved success and is about to retire.

Sun Ce returned to the apartment and ordered a hamburger.

Sun Ce felt that he was going to a road of no return, because... he was a little excited...

“Black Bear Returns: Zach Randolph follows the host wholeheartedly, and the host’s decisions in certain aspects will greatly affect Zach Randolph’s decisions.”

Sun Ce looked at this special achievement and found that he could actually open it to read.

Seeing the description on the screen, Sun Ce didn’t expect Randolph to be so emotional. He just said a few words to support him, but Sun Ce didn’t take it seriously, and Randolph even treated him to a meal.

Moreover, he didn't expect Randolph to make a decision based on his decision.

This... Sun Ce's first reaction was that he would become a restricted free agent this summer.

Sun Ce had a new understanding of Randolph.

But let's put this aside for now, it's not the point.

What the hell is that random entertainment card for the achievement reward?

I had been worrying about what to perform during the All-Star Weekend before, and now it seems that there is something to play.

He actually felt a little excited, but he didn't want to be excited about this kind of thing!

"Shine Los Angeles (*): The host needs to bring a performance show with Zach Randolph before the 2011 Los Angeles All-Star Weekend.

Event reward: depends on the degree of surprise of the fans, the minimum reward: C-level lottery card."

This event is not bad, the minimum is a C-level star experience card.

"Random entertainment card: randomly draw an art or performance prop, including song cards, dance cards, etc."

Sun Ce was puzzled. Although he didn't take that matter to heart, at least he helped Randolph enter the All-Stars, and it turned out to be this thing.

So the reward for helping Randolph is related to Randolph's hobbies?

After lunch, Sun Ce figured it out. It's not a big deal. It's the All-Star Weekend, isn't it just for fun?

"Brother Learning Machine, draw a lottery! Draw me a cool song or dance!"

Sun Ce's mind moved, and he opened the interface of the random lottery card.

There were so many songs, dances, musical instruments, acting skills, etc. that Sun Ce couldn't see clearly!

All the names were gathered together and kept flashing.

After three seconds, the flashing stopped...

"Congratulations to the host for winning the song and dance card: Wild Wolf (singing card, dance card)."

Sun Ce had a part of "memory" in his mind, as if he had practiced this song many times. Thinking about it, there was actually the sound of his own singing in his mind! It was as if he had really sung it many times!

And he seemed to know how to dance to the song.

At the same time, a USB flash drive and a sheepskin sheet music appeared in Sun Ce's hand...

"What the hell! Do you want everyone to draw a dragon with me?

Just me and the black bear? Too embarrassing! No! I have to drag a few more people into the water... No, happy things have to be shared by everyone!"

...

...

Put the dragon drawing aside for now. We have to finish the remaining three games before the All-Star Weekend before dealing with this matter.

Dancing is not difficult. We can find people after finishing the first half of the schedule.

On February 9, the Grizzlies ushered in their third consecutive back-to-back.

The first game was against the Raptors.

Although they lost to the Clippers, they still had to rest. Conley and Randolph continued to rest, and the starting lineup of Sun Ce, Morrow, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, and Jordan appeared.

Gasol, Tony Allen and Battier were all put on the bench. Coach Hollins was ready to use running and gunning to beat the Raptors first.

However, there are always discrepancies between plans and implementation. The game started differently than expected. The Grizzlies were really tough!

The Double Emperors were not only strong, but their opponents would even be scared by their looks when they saw them for the first time. The Raptors knew that they were not the Grizzlies' opponents, and they were working hard to compete for the last place. Their head coach didn't care how the players defended, so the Raptors simply retreated to the basket.

Sun Ce took advantage of the Double Emperors' restraining power at the beginning of the game and passed the ball to Morrow and Paul George continuously. As a result, the two missed 5 consecutive shots!

In the first three minutes of the game, the Grizzlies had no other points except for Sun Ce's pass and rushing in to pick up an offensive rebound, causing a foul and making two free throws! Instead, the Raptors scored 7 points at the beginning, all of which were scored by Bargnani alone. Bargnani was shocked when he saw the red-haired Yi Jianlian, and then he showed his strength.

"Andrea Bargnani, 25 years old, 213 cm tall, 111 kg, ability evaluation B+, offense A, defense F, three-pointer A, mid-range shot A-, layup B+, speed B-, strength C+...average 21.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.2 blocks...shooting percentage 45%, three-pointer percentage 36%..."

I didn't take the Raptors seriously before. A team that only won 14 games, there was really nothing to care about. Even DeRozan was injured.

But I didn't expect that Bargnani, who was called a big brush, played so well at the beginning.

After looking at Bargnani's ability evaluation, Sun Ce found that Bargnani was not as bad as he imagined, but quite powerful.

Come to think of it, he is a player who averages 20+ points per game. Even if he is just brushing, he has the ability to brush. Bosh is gone, and Bargnani, who has unlimited firing rights, has fully demonstrated his ability in singles.

From the perspective of singles alone, the nickname of Italian Nowitzki is really not given for nothing, and the playing style is very similar.

However, Nowitzki has 9+ rebounds all year round. Although he is jokingly called a big back forward and has never been able to defend a power forward, he can at least defend a center. He does a good job of defending a center with his height, weight and flexibility.

And Bargnani, looking at the data, who can tell that he is a 213 cm 111 kg power forward?

Bargnani started with 3 of 4 shots, scored 7 points, and stopped the Grizzlies!

This is the run-and-gun style of play. If the outside line doesn't feel good, it's over!

Fortunately, the Grizzlies' run-and-gun is just a means of scoring, not the foundation of the system.

Coach Hollins started to make substitutions, replacing Morrow, Jordan, and Yi Jianlian with Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Paul George, Battier, and Gasol, and went straight to defense!

…

Coach Hollins was ruthless. He thought that playing against the Raptors, both sides played offense, and the fans at the scene were happy to watch. He always had to give some feedback to the fans.

Who knew that Morrow and Paul George were so close? Although it had nothing to do with the Raptors, Coach Hollins put the account on the Raptors and started iron-blooded defense!

How iron-blooded?

The whole game was 78 to 70!

The Grizzlies were grinding defense throughout the game. The highest scorer on their side was Sun Ce, who made 6 of 15 shots and 9 of 13 free throws, and got 21 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists, 6 blocks, and 3 steals. There was no assist at all. On the defensive end, with the help of his teammates to confront the opponent, steals and blocks flew!

On the Grizzlies side, except for Sun Ce's 21 points, only Gasol scored 16 points and Battier scored 11 points, and no one else scored in double digits.

On the Raptors side, only two people scored in double digits, Calderon scored 14 points with 5 of 13 shots, and Bargnani scored 25 points with 10 of 28 shots, and only scored 25 points with 28 shots...

Except for Bargnani and Calderon, no one on the Raptors scored in double digits, and the whole team only scored 70 points.

…

After playing against the Raptors, the Grizzlies ushered in the last game of 6 games in 8 days the next day, playing against the Hornets at home.

Yesterday, the Hornets arrived in Memphis, and some players came to watch the game, and then they were scared by the performance of the Grizzlies.

Too stingy!

Just because they were "defended" to only two points in 3 and a half minutes at the beginning, they were so cruel in the back!

The Hornets players don’t want to end up like the Raptors. Their players have to improve their stats to get contracts next season.

At 5:30 in the evening, after the game started, Coach Hollins, who was ready to continue to defend, saw Gasol continuously receiving the ball and shooting high, scoring 8 points in half a quarter, and Sun Ce had 3 assists in half a quarter... He was depressed...

Yesterday, he wanted to play run-and-gun, but his outside shooting didn’t feel good, so Coach Hollins was angry and used defense to ravage the opponent.

Tonight he was worried that the team would continue yesterday’s bad feeling, so he was ready to start with defense. If he continued to play run-and-gun, the opponent would choose to shrink because of the bad feeling, and it would be quite troublesome to change players to defend later.

And there was also a problem with physical strength. He was ready to use defense to defend the opponent first. Gasol, Tony Allen, Battier, and Randolph only played for a while at the beginning, and then see the situation later.

Who knew that Gasol would score easily in a row, leading 18-8 halfway through the first quarter...

Coach Hollins felt the deepest malice from the world...

That's all for today. I'll go home after get off work. I won't write like I did the other two times when I was in good shape. I wrote 21,000 words once and 17,000 words once. I felt great about writing, but I was too weak the next day. It's better to write slowly and steadily. It's better to guarantee more than 10,000 words every day. I may write for a while at night, but I'll leave it for tomorrow so I can sleep in~

Please vote for recommendation~ It's so hard to get to Friday and still be the first in the recommended votes in the category. Please vote for recommendation!
