Seven Hundred and Seventy-Eight. A New Historical Record!

Last night, Conley scored 8 points and 5 assists. One of the assists became popular, which was the ball that Sun Ce shot directly after "stealing" from Conley. It seemed that Conley was not ready to pass the ball at that time, and he did not expect to get an assist. It was purely because Sun Ce wanted to shoot and took the ball away.

But according to the rules, this ball is an assist.

So... Conley's "stealing assist" became popular!

Sun Ce himself couldn't imagine what he was thinking when he started the "solo battle". He felt that he had added another "black history". Seeing the GIF picture of that ball that went viral on the Internet, he felt a little desperate... But without that ball, he might not be able to get 70+ in a single game. Thinking about it, he felt that it was nothing, as long as the fans were happy.

Most media were praising Sun Ce's game last night. As Kobe said, this game was undoubtedly a game that brought him closer to the regular season MVP.

Seeing that Sports Illustrated, American Cable TV and other mainstream sports media were praising it, this was something Sun Ce did not expect before the game. He did not expect that playing a game in Los Angeles would have such a positive impact on his MVP bid.

A special report was made for Sun Ce, and the name of the special report is - the epoch-making lord.

The general content of this special report is how special Sun Ce is. Compared with James, Sun Ce is closer to the "future player" mentioned by Pat Riley.

Although it is difficult to find a second player with Sun Ce's size and speed, it is not difficult to find a player like James, but it is impossible to find one.

The 2009 rookie class, which has already produced two MVP candidates, is used as a dividing line to divide "new era players" and "old era players", and Sun Ce's class is regarded as the first class of "new era players".

Obviously, this is a TV station with a good relationship with Sun Ce to build momentum for Sun Ce!

Of course, not all media are praising Sun Ce. ESPN also reported last night's game in a large section, but the focus is different from many TV stations. The focus of their report is Sun Ce VS Kobe, 72VS63. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this focus. The duel between Sun Ce and Kobe last night was originally an epic duel, the kind that is difficult to replicate.

But regarding the report on Sun Ce, ESPN put forward a point of view that made Sun Ce feel very strange when he saw it, but he didn't know what was wrong. An article written by an ESPN writer became popular in the writer column on the ESPN homepage - he, Sun, was called the biggest beneficiary of the Heat's Big Three.

In terms of overall performance this season, James will not be worse than Sun Ce, at least they are on par, but James obviously has nothing to do with the MVP this season. Except for ESPN's consistent praise of James, other media use attacking James as a news selling point, and naturally it is impossible to give James the MVP vote.

So the league must support newcomers, and Sun Ce and Rose have become the MVP favorites.

On this basis, every time Sun Ce performs well, he will get more praise than normal...

Looking at the article written by the ESPN writer, Sun Ce felt something was strange, and at first glance it seemed to be true.

But after thinking carefully, Sun Ce found that ESPN was stealing the concept and using this unconventional argument to attract attention. In the end, it was still consuming James.

In addition, Sun Ce's words in the interview after the game evoked the memories of many fans.

Kobe won the Finals MVP last year and is now the defending champion of two consecutive championships. Few people think that Kobe is old. After being "reminded" by Sun Ce, they suddenly realized that Kobe will be 33 years old in 5 months!

After the fans found out about this,

they thought of McGrady who had difficulty finding a job, Iverson who could only cling to his thighs, Carter who had been wandering for many years; the retired Rasheed Wallace and Webber, Garnett who is no longer the strongest player in the team, Duncan who won the nickname of No. 21 rookie and whose efficiency returned to the peak but the data dropped sharply, and the retired fourth sister best defensive player...

The fans suddenly found that those veterans with more than 10 years of experience gradually began to fade out of the NBA, and most of those who stayed in the NBA were no longer among the first-line stars. Only Kobe, Nash and Nowitzki were still regarded as superstars and were expected to be selected for the best team. Even Duncan's data this season is definitely not in the best team.

But the NBA is not short of talent. There are many great players among the Mesozoic players, such as Yao Ming, Wade, James, Bosh, Roy, Aldridge, Gasol, Paul, Anthony...

Among the new generation players, there are Durant, Rose, Westbrook, Sun Ce, Curry, Griffin...

Especially Sun Ce, who has already touched the regular season MVP in the second grade. A new era is about to begin!

...

Sun Ce reads the news and occasionally opens a small account to say "Noah is so great" and "My idol lord is so handsome"...

Narcissistic, time passes quickly, at six o'clock in the evening, Sun Ce and his teammates warm up together.

In last night's game, although both teams scored more than 110 points, in fact, both teams defended very hard, but Kobe and Sun Ce scored too high. Putting aside the scores of the two, the scores of others are not high, below the average level, and it is not just that the number of shots has decreased, the hit rate is not high.

Overall, the Grizzlies players are more tired and need to do more warm-up preparations.

Fortunately, the Grizzlies players are not lazy people. They are very serious during warm-up, especially in the current tired state. They know to move their bodies well to avoid injuries during the game.

At 8:10 pm, Sun Ce and his teammates entered the court after warming up...

...

"Kevin Love, ability evaluation A+, offense A+, defense C, rebound SS, three-pointer A, mid-range shot C+, layup A, speed B-, strength S... 21 points, 15.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.4 blocks per game... 46% shooting, 41% three-pointer shooting..."

Love's data... the traces of brushing are too obvious!

It was okay at the beginning of the season, but after the All-Star Weekend, the title of "brush" was crowned on Love's head.

Such brutal rebounding data actually had no positive impact on the game, but greatly dragged down the team's defense.

In addition to Love, the Timberwolves' best player is Michael Beasley, who was rated B+ in his rookie year and is still rated B+ now. Sun Ce recalled the evaluation of Beasley's ability that he saw in the Suns game. Compared with Beasley now, there is almost no change in ability. It is the third season, and Beasley continues to rely on talent and has made no progress.

There is another player that Sun Ce regrets - Darko Milicic.

"Darko Milicic, 25 years old, ability evaluation B, offense C-, defense A... 8.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2 blocks per game..."

This guy is only 25 years old. Sun Ce thought he was 52 years old when he saw his gloomy look.

Sun Ce really felt sorry for Milicic. He was buried in the best three years after entering the NBA, which directly made him lose confidence. But even so, seven years have passed. He was given some playing time in the eighth season, and he still showed his top defensive talent.

Sun Ce felt that if Milicic was trained in another team, he would most likely become a Bynum with enhanced support and defense and weakened offense. However, Milicic played less than 500 minutes in the first three years of his career... less than a normal talented rookie played for a month.

Johnny Flynn, who was in the same class as Sun Ce... this guy suffered from continuous hip injuries. His strength was B- in his rookie year, but now he is only C+, and was put back on the bench.

Sun Ce really didn't feel like taking a second look at the Timberwolves players' ability evaluation after taking a look. There was no need to study it, and it was useless to study it. There were many players who looked powerful, but they just couldn't win the game.

At 8:30, the game started. The Grizzlies sent out the starting lineup of Sun Ce, Conley, Battier, Randolph, and Gasol.

On the Timberwolves side, the starting lineup of Luke Ridnour, Wayne Ellington, Wesley Johnson, Love, and Milicic appeared.

The Grizzlies did not rest because of the back-to-back game. The strategic thinking has changed. They can reduce the playing time, but they need to let the starters bring up the rhythm of the game at the beginning.

However, the state cannot be so good all the time, especially in back-to-back games, and the rest plan is disrupted. After the game started, the Grizzlies did not take advantage!

Sun Ce is okay. Although he did not complete the Nash training method, he is young and his physical strength has recovered to 70% or 80%, and his touch is still maintained. But the other starters, Conley missed the open shot, Battier missed a three-pointer in the bottom corner and almost shot over the bridge, Randolph really couldn't grab the rebound from Love...

After the first quarter, the Grizzlies actually fell behind by 6 points with 19 to 25 into the second quarter.

However, sometimes the game is not just a comparison of strength and state, but there are many other factors.

For example... the Timberwolves just want to lose!

Seeing that his team was about to gain momentum, Timberwolves head coach Kurt Rambis asked his players not to defend so tightly...

There is a difference between a team that is playing badly and a team that is playing badly. For example, the Warriors have been playing badly for many years, but when they are playing badly, they will not say that the head coach asked the players to lose on purpose. When they have to lose, the coaching staff will restrict the players tactically and restrict their own players who perform well in rotation, but the attitude to the players is - we must strive to win.

That's why the Warriors stand up every time they have a good lineup, such as the 06-08 season, the 06-07 season, the 06-07 season, the 07-08 season, and the 48 wins, but the eighth place in the Western Conference that season had 50 wins.

And the Timberwolves, a team that has always been bad, loses by any means for the sake of draft picks.

At this time, the Timberwolves were "chased" very closely by the Hornets, Kings, Raptors, and Wizards. They dared not win more in a game and would lose if they could. Seeing that their team was about to gain momentum, their head coach actually asked the players not to defend.

In the second quarter, Sun Ce continued to play, playing with Morrow, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, and Jordan.

Paul George and Yi Jianlian were in average condition today, but Morrow and Jordan performed well.

The key is that Sun Ce didn't know why Milicic and Wesley Johnson, who played good defense in the first quarter, were replaced, and the rest of the Timberwolves became traffic commanders.

Originally, Sun Ce thought it would be difficult to speed up, and was also worried about his physical strength, but the Timberwolves actually took the initiative to run. In the second quarter, the Grizzlies scored 31 to 20 in a single quarter, overtaking by four points at once.

In the second half, Timberwolves head coach Kurt Rambis could not control his players. The score was 46 to 50, only 4 points behind. Timberwolves players also wanted to win! They also wanted to play well and strive to get a good contract.

But at this time, with the help of Timberwolves head coach, Randolph, who scored 4 points in the second half of the second quarter, began to find his form. In the third quarter, he scored 11 points and 3 assists, helping Sun Ce to position well. With Sun Ce who scored 5 points, 6 rebounds, 3 blocks and 1 assist in a single quarter, plus Morrow who had a good shooting feel tonight, and Jordan who had a good positioning effect and good counterattack awareness, the Grizzlies firmly suppressed the Timberwolves' desire to regain momentum in the third quarter, and scored 27 to 21 in a single quarter.

The score difference finally opened to 10 points. Sun Ce played for 33 minutes in the first three quarters and rested for the first three minutes of the third quarter. He made 8 of 18 shots, plus 1 three-pointer and 5 of 7 free throws, and scored a total of 22 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks.

Conley came on the court in the final quarter, along with Tony Allen, Paul George, Battier, and Gasol, and fought hard on defense.

The two teams played as badly as they could in the final quarter. The Grizzlies only scored 15 points, and the Timberwolves had a lot of shots, but they only scored 18 points.

In the end, the Grizzlies defeated the Timberwolves 92-85, which was difficult but strange for the players to beat, and won three consecutive victories.

After defeating the Lakers and Timberwolves back-to-back away, Sun Ce's average points per game increased to 21.5 points, plus 12.8 rebounds, 6.8 assists, 3.8 blocks, and 1.3 steals.

The Grizzlies' record also improved to 52 wins and 12 losses, firmly in second place and looking forward to first place.

…

After playing this away back-to-back away game, Sun Ce and his teammates got two days of rest.

The difficulty of playing against the Timberwolves was beyond expectations, and the game was more tiring. On the plane back to Memphis, many Grizzlies players were catching up on sleep, but Sun Ce was so energetic after playing back-to-back games that his teammates wanted to beat him up.

After the game last night, Sun Ce, who had played 33 minutes in the first three quarters, trained in the gym at the visiting team training ground at Target Center. He finished the Nash training method before 12 o'clock and finally adjusted his condition back.

Sun Ce has a strong willpower and did not let himself fall into a vicious cycle. If he was lazy last night, he would have to catch up on sleep today, and he would have to rest again when he returned to Memphis, and then he might have delayed it until the next day.

In this regard, Sun Ce has good self-discipline.

On the day he returned to Memphis, Coach Hollins asked the players to go back and have a good rest, and to start preparing for the next four consecutive home games tomorrow, which is the 16th.

First, they will play against the Trail Blazers on the 17th, play against the Nuggets and Hornets back-to-back on the 19th and 20th, and play against the Celtics on the 22nd.

Although it was a home court, it was not so easy to play. The players could rest, but the coaching staff could not. After separating at the Memphis airport, the coaching staff immediately returned to the stadium to prepare for the next four games.

The wooden house was built really quickly, mainly because the money was in place. When Sun Ce returned to his new home, he found that it had reached the roof stage, and the decoration company had come to calculate the materials according to the requirements.

Sun Ce didn't need to worry about this. After he got home, he rested for a while, had lunch, and started studying the opponent of the next game, the Trail Blazers, in the afternoon.

At the end of the regular season, Sun Ce was more devoted to the game. This kind of thing was very lonely. Even his family couldn't help, but Sun Ce enjoyed this lonely carnival.

Rest on the 15th and prepare for the game on the 16th. Soon, more than a day passed, and the time came to the 17th, the day of the game between the Grizzlies and the Trail Blazers.

…

No matter how wonderful the performance is, it will fade with time. As time goes by, the popularity of Sun Ce's 72 points in a single game has decreased a lot, and more people mentioned Kobe's 81 points. In comparison, Kobe, who played 42 minutes and scored 81 points and left the court a few minutes early, still looks more powerful. In that game, Kobe scored 55 points in the second half when the Lakers were 14 points behind at halftime and led the team to a reversal and won by 18 points. That is, in the second half when Kobe broke out, he led the team to win by more than 30 points.

But this is just a decrease in popularity, which does not affect Sun Ce's outstanding performance in this game. Although people think that Kobe was stronger at that time, after all, in the game where Sun Ce scored 72 points, Kobe, who was almost 33 years old, also scored 63 points, but Sun Ce was only 21 years old and the team still won. Such performance is still called great, and only the popularity is reduced.

Moreover, this game brought a surprise to Sun Ce!

After preparing for the game with the Trail Blazers in the evening in the morning, Sun Ce suddenly received a system prompt at lunch time!

"King of the Week: The host needs to break the historical record of 7 times of the Week in a single season held by LeBron James in the 2008-2009 season. (The host has won 8 times of the Week in the 2010-2011 season, which has been completed.)

Congratulations to the host for obtaining the LeBron James 2008-2009 version of the star experience card.

The time score for this stage is S."

Sun Ce was very surprised. He studied it after all the games ended yesterday, that is, on the evening of the 16th. He felt that it would be a bit difficult for him to win the Weekly Player of the Week, after all, the record was only 3 wins and 1 loss.

In the past week, there was a team that played 5 games in 7 days. The Trail Blazers won all the brutal schedules of 7 days and 5 games! Aldridge played 46 minutes per game in 5 games, averaging 33.5 points and 9 rebounds per game. The total score in 5 games was higher than Sun Ce, and the team record was also better.

Sun Ce thought that Aldridge should be the Player of the Week this time, so he didn't think about checking the news at noon today, but he didn't expect it to be his!

Sun Ce quickly ate a few mouthfuls of lunch and went back to the lounge to check the news.

It seems that fans and the media don't think there is anything wrong with Sun Ce beating Aldridge to win the Player of the Week, or in other words, no matter who wins between him and Aldridge, the fans may find it acceptable.

From a rational point of view, Sun Ce analyzed that Aldridge's overall performance throughout the week was indeed better than his, and it may be much better.

However, in the eyes of the NBA official voter, 72 points in a single game overshadowed everything!

3 wins and 1 loss, a 75% winning rate, and a good record. With a performance of 72 points and 20 rebounds in a single game, Sun Ce beat Aldridge to win the Player of the Week!
