$785. Crucial Competition Month

In overtime, the Grizzlies launched a terrifying 16-5 scoring surge. The Warriors only relied on Curry to score a three-pointer and Ellis to score a layup in 5 minutes, and there was no other score.

In fact, it is normal to have low scores in overtime. Teams often score zero goals in overtime because many teams rotate seven or eight players. Even the Lakers last season rotated six players at critical moments.

If the Warriors have a critical moment this season, they usually rotate 7 players, but in overtime they are completely unable to play.

The Warriors had almost no defense and were scored by the Grizzlies for 16 points in 5 minutes!

Sun Ce played for 35 minutes and scored 6 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block in overtime, raising his data to 30 points, 11 rebounds, 20 assists, 3 blocks, 2 steals, and 4 turnovers which were negligible under such a performance. After two fouls, he led the team to defeat the Warriors 143-132 and win their fourth consecutive victory!

It was the third time in his career that he had at least 20 assists, and it was also the second time he had 20 assists. The first time was 3 times 20.

There was also an assist on 20 rebounds and the score did not keep up.

After the game, the little brother and Ellis once again left the court with their heads sullen, without saying a word...

As the saying goes, friendship comes first and competition comes second, and it was so wonderful between the two of them and Sun Ce.

This game was not broadcast live, but the major TV stations still sent people to follow up. After halftime, when the scores of the two teams and the game process were transmitted to the major TV stations, the TV producers were almost breathless with distress. When overtime was reached, according to gossip media reports, the producer and director of ESPN, who obviously had time slots tonight to arrange an additional broadcast before the next live broadcast but did not have an additional broadcast, had been sent to the hospital to grab the ball...

As soon as the game ended, the reporters no longer paid attention to the interview regulations and ignored the fact that they did not have the right to conduct on-site interviews after the game. Reporters from major TV stations rushed in and surrounded Sun Ce to ask questions.

Seeing the back of his elementary school student brother walking into the player tunnel, Sun Ce rarely ended the topic during the interview, but accepted the interview honestly.

When asked by the local media in Auckland about Curry's third 40+, Sun Ce's interest finally came: "Obviously, I was able to play so well tonight, all because Stephen played so well and he stimulated me. Well, it stimulated our whole team. I was able to get so many assists because my teammates shot well, because Stephen shot so well. My teammates can only compete with the Warriors if they shoot better. Time match.

But... the little brother is too young to be useful! I just got excited,

I just tried so hard, and my little brother is already tired and vomiting. He should exercise more..."

…

…

Defeating the Warriors, the Grizzlies' record improved to 58 wins and 14 losses, and the first five game months were finally completed.

Early the next morning, Sun Ce followed the team back to Memphis.

When I got home, I just returned to the room to put down my things when I saw a note on the bedside table that said: "Brother will pick up Juanjuan in the afternoon!"

"The handwriting is quite beautiful. Today is Tuesday, right? It's really hard for children who study."

Sun Ce muttered and put away the note, packed his luggage and put it away, lying on the bed and rolling around... It was just for leisure, and he didn't want to do anything.

It's like this every time I come home after playing consecutive away games. Nothing seems to have changed even after I moved. The bed is still the same. It's been almost two years, and everything seems to have become a habit.

I rolled around the room leisurely, checked my phone, sorted the clothes in the closet, flipped through the book and read "Basic Tactics Encyclopedia"... Soon it was noon, and the servant came to ask Sun Ce to eat a nutritious meal. The hired nutritionist has already delivered lunch.

More than a year has passed, and the nutritionist has not remained unchanged. He is adjusting the meal structure according to Sun Ce's physical condition. Now he is no longer so strict about eating unpalatable foods. From the beginning of the year, except for fried foods, it is strictly prohibited. , other delicious low-fat foods are also available.

The key is that it tastes good, and the personal nutritionist is much more likable than the team nutritionist who is eager to make food that will kill people in one bite.

While eating lunch and scrolling through the news on his phone, Sun Ce suddenly remembered that today was the 1st, took out his laptop and scrolled through Twitter.

I clicked on the NBA's official Twitter page, and sure enough, last month's awards were announced at 12:05 noon.

In the Western Conference, Griffin became the rare Rookie of the Month to win all the Rookie of the Month awards in the first five months, averaging 22.3 points and 12.1 rebounds per game. It is too difficult for anyone else to win the Rookie of the Month award in recent years, except Evans. Griffin, Cousins ​​once averaged 20+9 per game at the beginning of the season, but failed to persist.

Sun Ce checked and found that apart from Griffin, only David Robinson, Duncan, James, and Anthony could win Rookie of the Month five times. There is no fifth player. These four all won six Rookie of the Month in their rookie seasons. Best rookie.

Sun Ce feels that if he and Evans were in the East and West respectively last season, Evans would still have some chances to get 5 times, but 6 times is still a bit difficult. Curry should be able to steal it once or twice. Just with him, he and Evans scored all the Western Conference Rookie of the Month points.

In terms of Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month, Monroe of the Pistons won the Rookie of the Month for the first time.

Wall has a feeling of starting high and ending low. As soon as he was selected, he signed a bunch of endorsement contracts with an average annual value of tens of millions. Among them, the shoe endorsement contract is higher than Sun Ce. But in 5 months, he has won the Rookie of the Month twice, and was snatched by Hayward once, and this time by Monroe again. Previously, he was snatched by his teammate Jordan Crawford once. That month, Wall played 11 fewer games due to injury. In those 11 games, Jordan Crawford averaged 17 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists per game...

In terms of Coach of the Month, in the West, Mavericks' Carlisle won the Coach of the Month for the first time this season. In the whole month of March, the Mavericks only lost 1 game and got an exaggerated record of 15 wins and 1 loss, tying the Lakers' record, second only to the Spurs and Grizzlies in the league.

The previous four Coach of the Month were won by Grizzlies head coach Hollins, Spurs head coach Popovich, Nuggets head coach George Karl, and Grizzlies head coach Hollins.

In the East, Celtics coach Rivers, who had an excellent record in March, won the Coach of the Month award, and Thibodeau also won the Coach of the Month award twice... Then they were traded. The Coach of the Month award in January was Heat coach Spoelstra, and in February it was the new Bulls coach Jerry Sloan.

Sun Ce saw that Sloan won the Coach of the Month award after only one month of adjustment... Although Thibodeau's strength cannot be denied, it also proves that with a group of talented players like the Bulls, as long as the head coach is still good, the record will not be bad. No matter whether the head coach is at the best coach level, there will not be much difference in the record. It's just that the tactical style is different and the characteristics of the whole team have changed.

In Sun Ce's view, Thibodeau is doing what he wants to do to maximize the existing strength of the players, while Sloan likes to let the players play leisurely for more than ten years... If you really meet a player who is in his prime when he enters the NBA, such as Duncan, Thibodeau's use is correct, and Popovich did the same thing back then.

After sighing that Rose's luck has changed, Sun Ce flipped to the bottom and the first player of the month award was announced.

In the East, the East finally has a new player. Rondo averaged 10.7 points, 7.7 rebounds and 12.4 assists per game. Rondo's performance in March was listed. After returning from the All-Star Weekend and losing 5 games in a row, he led the team to a record of 13 wins and 3 losses in March, helping the Celtics to temporarily rank second in the East and win the Eastern Conference Player of the Month in March.

In the West... Sun Ce looked at the first tweet sent by the NBA official Twitter today, which had his name written on it!

"Hahahaha, it's really from me, Old Sun!"

Sun Ce played 16 games in March, averaging 24.5 points, 12.8 rebounds, 8 assists, 4.2 blocks and 1 steal per game, leading the team to a record of 13 wins and 3 losses, and got 5 triple-doubles, 72 points and 20 rebounds in a single game... He won the Player of the Month for the third time this season, tying Kobe's record of the second most Player of the Month in a single season!

After 72 games, thanks to his brutal performance in March, Sun Ce's average data increased to 21.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, 7 assists, 3.8 blocks, 1.4 steals, 2.9 fouls and 2.6 turnovers. His shooting percentage was good, 46%, and his free throw percentage was also good, 74%, at least better than James and Wade.

His three-point shooting percentage was also quite good, 35%... A total of 21 of 60 shots, averaging less than 0.3 shots per game.

He scored 13 shots in two games, and the rest were just shots that he had no choice but to throw. Occasionally, he could still make shots when he felt like it.

Occasionally... he had no choice but to throw it out and I don't know how it went in.

Thanks to the three gunners of the Warriors who fought hard last night to drag the game into overtime, Sun Ce's average assists per game increased by 0.2, reaching the level of assists last season.

"Little brother is really a good brother. I will definitely work harder next time I play against you!"

Thinking of last night's game, Sun Ce looked at the skill event of "Jordan Shooting Skill". Including yesterday's 6 non-hook mid-range shots, Sun Ce has made a total of 14 mid-range shots in the past four games, which is much more than Sun Ce's average of two non-hook mid-range shots per game in the previous 68 games. In fact, the Heat, Kings, and Trail Blazers are just normal levels. Especially against the Trail Blazers, he couldn't get into the basket and was blocked on the line. Sun Ce made two mid-range shots, 4 against the Kings, and 2 against the Heat.

There are 10 games left, and the number of non-hook mid-range shots has reached 150! 14 more are enough!

The progress of the game against the Warriors has been greatly improved.

Seeing this, Sun Ce wished he could play against the Warriors every day. It was simply a sharp weapon for leveling up. It's a pity that he has no chance to play against the Warriors again this season.

Thinking of this, Sun Ce inexplicably missed that elementary school student. What a good kid. He helped drag the game into overtime, helped him get a big triple-double of 30+20+10, and helped him make 6 mid-range shots in a single game.

After checking the official reports of major mainstream media, it was just as Sun Ce expected. Public opinion unanimously believed that Sun Ce was able to beat the combination of Yao Ming and Nowitzki of the Mavericks who performed well in March to win the Player of the Month. He relied on 72 points and 5 triple-doubles in a single game. Of course, 13 wins and 3 losses are also very good.

In the voting for the Player of the Month posted on the NBA official website, Nowitzki and Yao Ming were voted into the Player of the Month candidates by the combination, just like James and Wade in January, but unfortunately Sun Ce performed too well and Yao Ming missed the opportunity to win the Player of the Month for the third time in his career.

Sun Ce opened the domestic forums and saw many fans praising him for his good performance, but there were also some weirdos who said he stole Yao Ming's limelight...

Sun Ce didn't want to pay attention to such arguments. The Internet speed was slow when browsing domestic forums from the United States, and it was difficult to open a secondary account, so he didn't want to pay attention to it.

Even if Iverson and McGrady escaped the ravages of time and played the best performance of the month for a short time this month, he, Sun, would still take it if he had the chance.

Just as he expected, he won the third best performance of the month. Many experts, media, and well-known fans and commentators were very optimistic about him winning the MVP.

If you want to compete for awards, these people are very important!

After seeing the new awards, Sun Ce felt that the nutritious meals became more delicious.

...

After lunch, Sun Ce went to the backyard to take a look. The servant explained the construction situation. The indoor stadium had been built as a whole, and the decoration company was renovating it. Relatively expensive plant materials were used, including plant paints made in China, various plant coatings made in Japan, and various wood products imported from Africa... and so on.

For wooden buildings, it is very suitable to use plant paint made in China, which can extend the life of the building. Generally speaking, there is almost no pollution such as formaldehyde, benzene, and ammonia. The main thing is that it smells bad at the beginning. Of course, there are some unhealthy gases, but it is much healthier than chemical materials.

However, as far as Sun Ce knows, it is a pity that the construction of wooden houses is no longer allowed in China. These products are imported in large quantities from Japan, South Korea, and North America. Very few people use them in China. The price is definitely a factor. It is expensive, and the less people use it, the more expensive it is. Exports have to pay taxes to other countries, and domestic taxes have to be paid again, which is a vicious cycle.

After the decoration is completed, the basketball rack is installed, the rest area, locker room, toilet, etc. are ready, it will take about a week. Put a few potted plants in to freshen the air, etc., and it will be put into use in June.

Sun Ce was not in a hurry. After looking at his indoor court, Sun Ce returned to his room and played Grand Theft Auto for a while. He borrowed the save file from Randolph, which had all the guns. He used the scope of the sniper rifle to zoom in on various American girls on the street...

...

At 3:30 in the afternoon, Sun Ce drove to Lausanne Middle School. There was no traffic jam today and the road was smooth. He arrived in more than 20 minutes.

Sun Ce waited for a long time in the parking area near the school gate of the chatterbox sister. He almost dozed off, but still didn't see the big loli. Finally, he couldn't help getting out of the car, preparing to move around, and then took two steps to make a phone call to ask...

"Ha!"

A humanoid object with a colorful face and two strange black and green horns on its shoulders suddenly jumped out in front of the car and screamed, scaring Sun Ce.

"Hahahaha...Brother, you are really scared."

Seeing the humanoid object holding its stomach and laughing wildly and still calling "brother", Sun Ce looked closely and could vaguely tell that it was the unlucky sister who had just met for less than a year.

Sun Ce was speechless for a moment, and suddenly remembered that April Fool's Day seemed to be on April Fool's Day! He also got interested: "Hey, fairy, take a stick from me, Sun!"

Zu E is indeed a child star, and instantly possessed by the spirit of drama: "Brother Yudi, are you willing to hit such a cute fairy?"

He said it with a weak look.

Sun Ce was completely out of temper this time, and said: "Juanjuan, look at your appearance now, even if I am Tang Seng, I will definitely beat you to death with a stick."

Women... even 13-year-old girls love beauty. There is a mirror in the bag. Zu E took it out and looked... exclaimed: "Oh my God, the damn Xiweier actually painted Juanjuan so ugly! I must make her uglier next time!"

Zu E was about to remove her makeup on the spot.

Sun Ce was too lazy to care, sat in the driver's seat, and handed Zu E a bottle of water.

After a while, Zu E, whose face was cleaned up, put the two strange horns on his shoulders and the things on his head into the bag and threw them to the back, and sat on the co-pilot.

After Sun Ce started the engine and drove on, he said: "Juanjuan, you can't squat in front of the car. If I accidentally step on the accelerator, you will be dead!"

"Yeah, yeah, brother, you are so nice. You are willing to play with me. Every time I scare my mother, she wants to beat me to death..."

"I also want to beat you to death with a stick!"

"Brother, that's too much!"

"How about I beat you with a belt?"

"The kind with cold water? My mother beat me with cold water once. Oh my God, I couldn't sit down to eat for a week. Fortunately, it was the New Year."

"I didn't expect you to have this hobby..."

"What hobbies?"

"...You heard wrong. By the way, how did you get beaten during the Chinese New Year? Did you blow up someone's window?"

"Brother, how do you know? My cousin's family has such big firecrackers. I blew up all the windows in a community and was beaten by my mother more than ten times! Juanjuan was almost beaten to death."

"It's so big, it must be a detonator! Oh my God, no wonder your aunt dared to let you go abroad when you were only 13 years old. You can't afford to offend her!"

"..."

"..."

As they chatted, Sun Ce remembered last year's April Fool's Day, when the players in their team gave each other "gifts" and made a big splash.

However, this year, he was not interested. He had just played four consecutive away games, and then he would play four consecutive home games and four consecutive away games, three back-to-back games, and tomorrow and the day after tomorrow would be back-to-back games.

When he got home, Sun Ce listened to Zugoo, who was so talkative that even his own mother disliked him, talking about what happened in school in the past week, while watching TV. He actually saw last year's old news. .T Sports Channel released the black history of several players of the Grizzlies last year. Sun Ce decisively changed the channel...

...

The day's rest time was spent in this way. On the second day, April 2, Sun Ce asked the driver to pick up Zu Gee in the afternoon and send him directly to the FedEx Arena. In the morning, Sun Ce took a detour to send Zu Gee to school, and then came to the FedEx Arena to prepare for the game.

The last month of the regular season has begun.

There are many things to do this month. Can we surpass the Spurs to win the regular season championship and upgrade the leader's light? Can we beat Howard and Rose to win the MVP? Can we not lose in the whole season and get the long-lost A-level lottery card? Can we beat the Lakers 3 to 1 to get the remaining two mysterious fragments... It all depends on the performance this month!
