Eight Hundred and Twenty. The Guard Dunk King Who Was Forced to Work
After returning home, Sun Ce rested for a while, had lunch, and began to think.
Now that he was free, he had just arrived home today, so he did not plan to train. He only practiced Nash's training method before going to bed at night to relax and get out of the relaxed state of playing against the Nuggets in the past.
In the two games on the 1st, Sun Ce did not know how he won. They played very averagely. Even if the Nuggets only used the equipment they played against them in the regular season, they would probably be in trouble and it would be difficult to win.
However, the opponent had no resistance. Sun Ce and his teammates were prepared for the opponent's possible resistance, but the opponent was defeated.
Sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing to sweep. Just like after the third game, the media could be sure that Sun Ce could average a triple-double in 4 games, and then they began to praise him, which made Sun Ce himself a little bit floating.
Then he opened the ability evaluation interface and calmed down. He was still a B+ level starting player. The data of +4 in the third game and 20+8+6 in the fourth game were normal performances with the help of teammates.
After calming down, Sun Ce found that those who were praising him were also praising his entire team. In the case of the Grizzlies as a whole, Sun Ce was the MVP.
However, Sun Ce found that his teammates adjusted well and were not affected too much. After the third game, he was praised so much, but he still won the fourth game steadily.
However, this kind of praise made Sun Ce feel like a tree standing out in the forest.
This is a feeling that he didn't have even when he was praised so much in the regular season. If he played well in the playoffs, his reputation would be much better than if he played well in the regular season.
But fortunately, he has this group of teammates to carry him. As long as he doesn't get too cocky, he will play in the playoffs if he can beat them. If he can't beat them, he will cheat. If he cheats and can't beat them... forget it.
Just do your best and it won't matter.
There is still a long career ahead. I don't know how many obstacles there are in the future. The obstacles in the second year, just relax your mentality, don't take yourself too seriously when encountering certain situations, and everything will be fine.
After reviewing what happened in the past round of series, Sun Ce didn't care about the series with the Nuggets. No matter how well he played, it was a thing of the past.
After checking the latest NBA situation online, Sun Ce has a complete understanding of the current situation of the playoffs.
Although he also paid attention to the series, he really paid attention to the few teams he cared about, and just looked at the others casually.
Now he has the time and leisure to care about the entire playoff situation.
Like the Grizzlies, the 76ers also advanced by sweeping the Magic; the Celtics swept the Knicks.
The Heat won 3 games in a row, leading the Hawks 3-1, and will return to Miami for the 5th game; the Bulls won two games in a row and won an away game, leading the Pacers 3-1, and will return to Chicago for the 5th game.
These 5 series have ended, and the Heat and Bulls series that have not ended are not worth watching, but the other 3 series have a lot of highlights.
The Lakers and Thunder... How Kobe will play is worth watching.
The Suns are really tough. They returned to their home court and defended a game. They are currently tied with the Spurs 2-2. The efforts of a group of veterans will allow the series to return to Phoenix for another game.
It is said that the Suns may use the new amnesty clause in the labor-management negotiations because Arenas' contract is already being discussed to buy out Carter. Hamilton also has a one-year contract. It is almost impossible to see four old men who are still capable of fighting together in the future.
As for the Mavericks, they lost two games in a row on the road, which surprised Sun Ce. He watched the live broadcast of the fourth game and felt that... Nowitzki was a little weird. He seemed to want to integrate into the team, but he was out of tune with the team. Then the Trail Blazers, who had the advantage of home court, won two games in a row and will play at least to the sixth game.
Sun Ce expected that some series would be tied at 2-2, but he didn't expect it to be tied at 2-2 like this...
But it doesn't matter to him. He is waiting!
In two days, starting from May 1st, the awards will be announced. The program he recorded was prepared for the biggest regular season award, for the "blessing of the legendary point guard"...
...
After a day of rest, on April 29th, Sun Ce went to the gym to train all morning, took a nap in the afternoon, and got up to study the recordings of the first four games between the Lakers and the Thunder. The first two games were still interesting, but the two games in the third game where Kobe was messing around... I really couldn't understand it at all.
At around 3 pm, Sun Ce drove to Lausanne Middle School to pick up Zu Ge and brought him home to watch TV together.
Tonight there is a decisive battle between the Mavericks and the Trail Blazers, which is very interesting.
If the Mavericks are eliminated in the first round, Sun Ce feels that his mood is - happy to see it!
Before the Mavericks and the Trail Blazers game broadcast live by Barkley and Kenny Smith, .T's new 100 goals and 100 dunks program served as a warm-up for this game.
At the beginning of the playoffs, a program of top 100 goals and top 100 slam dunks was broadcast. It started from the 20th of the 2001-2002 season. Now it is the last episode.
Sun Ce and Zu Ge were very interested. Sun Ce didn't watch it much before because it didn't matter to him. Last season, he had very few shots in the top 100 goals and top 100 slam dunks, no top 100 slam dunks, and only one top 100 goals.
But this season is different!
Just as Sun Ce expected, Zu Ge screamed excitedly while watching the top 100 goals and top 100 slam dunks.
In the top 100 goals of the regular season, Sun Ce’s dunk over Perkins ranked first... The “delayed” break of the backboard after the dunk ranked 11th... The dunk over Bynum ranked 45th... The dunk over Yao Ming ranked 65th... The dunk with Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian received the ball in the air and dodged Bosh and then dunked over James ranked 71st... The dunk over Howard ranked 79th... Sun Ce and DeAndre Jordan connected, DeAndre Jordan dunked over Duncan ranked 91st.
Let’s count them, Sun Ce has the most in the league! There are so many beautiful goals in these thousands of regular season games. Sometimes a superstar has no goals in the whole season to be selected into the top 100, but Sun Ce alone has 7 shots.
Of course, if it is the top 100 dunks, Sun Ce is not the most. The best dunk of the season is Sun Ce’s death dunk over Perkins and the dunk that broke the backboard tied for first place. Sun Ce ranks very high, but in total, Griffin alone has 22 shots, which is almost comparable to O’Neal in the 99-00 season.
However, Sun Ce has 4 dunks selected into the top 100 dunks, which is also amazing, because he is a guard, and he is not a guard known for his physical fitness. For someone like Rose, who has such a strong physical fitness, he can only make it into the top 100 dunks by taking a step from the free throw line and dunking in the air to avoid the opponent's block.
After the top 100 dunks were all played, .T also gave the dunk rankings of each position.
Sun Ce ranked first among point guards with 89 dunks! Even if it extends to guards, Sun Ce is still ranked first.
People think that Rose and Westbrook, who have very strong physical fitness, have 35 dunks and 39 dunks respectively, which is surprising.
On the contrary, Curry, the "highlight of human dunks", dunked 36 times, ranking fifth among point guards, one place higher than Rose. As for the ranking of dunks by rims, if there is one, Curry is estimated to be more than fifth among point guards...
Kobe, who once had more than 100 dunks in a single season, only dunked 41 times this season, and Wade, who once had more than 150 dunks in a single season, only dunked 70 times this season.
As soon as this list came out, the fans who were watching the show with Sun Ce found out that Sun Ce had so many dunks!
From this point of view, as a big man who ranked first among guards with 89 dunks in a single season, Sun Ce has so many shining points.
However! People found a problem, why can Sun Ce only be on the top five, top ten, and top N balls with dunks?
When he doesn't dunk, his dunks seem mediocre...
So the dunks when he doesn't dunk are just forced to do business?
To make the fans happy, they have to dunk?
...
After the excitement, Zu Ge lost interest in the next game between the Mavericks and the Trail Blazers. He leaned next to Sun Ce and played the PSP that Sun Ce bought when he went to Denver this time. Children can't resist games, regardless of gender, but the games they play are different.
But Sun Ce is very interested in this game.
At 9 pm Eastern Time, the decisive battle between the Mavericks and the Trail Blazers began.
The team that won consecutive games in the playoffs is very powerful, and the game is not black and white. It can be seen that the Mavericks are stronger than the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers have elite role players, and the Mavericks have stars, and the Mavericks have more!
But the Trail Blazers can win two games, which is a good example of how the game is uncontrollable.
After the start of the fifth game, the Trail Blazers performed very fiercely in the regular time, and there was a feeling of wanting to win in one go.
On the Mavericks side, Nowitzki calmed down in the first three quarters and played a role player well. He didn't have the feeling of being impatient to integrate into the team in the first two games. The Mavericks, with Kidd and Yao Ming, Kidd and Jason Terry as the core, withstood the fierce performance of the Trail Blazers in the regular time, and did not lose their composure like in the third and fourth games.
After three quarters, the Mavericks entered the intermission with one point behind the Trail Blazers, thanks to Yao Ming's 22 points in 25 minutes, Jason Terry's 13 points in 17 minutes, and Kidd's 8 assists in three quarters.
The two teams played evenly in the first three quarters.
Yao Ming and Jason Terry's performances contributed greatly, giving Kidd the opportunity to pass the ball to role players.
Sun Ce discovered one thing, the three cores are already the limit!
There was a period of time when Kidd, Jason Terry, DeShawn Stevenson, Nowitzki, and Yao Ming played together. Sun Ce felt that Kidd, Jason Terry, and Yao Ming as the tactical core had reached the limit of what a tactic could achieve. At that time, Nowitzki could only be a role player like DeShawn Stevenson and could not integrate!
For a while, Kidd, Jason Terry, Marion, Nowitzki, and Chandler played together. Kidd and Chandler's pick-and-roll could only be matched with one scoring core. If Nowitzki played well, there would be no Jason Terry...
And in regular time, Jason Terry played better than Nowitzki!
Comparing the two, Sun Ce found that it was not because of Yao Ming's joining that Nowitzki was slow to integrate, but... Nowitzki simply couldn't integrate! He tried very hard, but if he played tactics, Nowitzki was not as good as Jason Terry!
Just when Sun Ce was confused, the fourth quarter came...
This was a quarter that stunned Sun Ce!
The Mavericks gave up the tactics in the fourth quarter. Yao Ming was holding the basket, and Kidd passed the ball to Nowitzki from the beginning of the fourth quarter. He was matched with two 3D players, DeShawn Stevenson and Marion. Nowitzki made 4 consecutive mid-range singles!
When Nowitzki caused panic on the other side's defense and the Trail Blazers began to double-team Nowitzki, Kidd seized the opportunity and used Nowitzki as a containment point to feed Yao Ming continuously.
Yao Ming attracted the defense, and Nowitzki then made 4 of 5 shots in the remaining time!
In the entire fourth quarter, Nowitzki made 8 of 9 shots and 6 of 6 free throws, scoring 22 points!
The Trail Blazers lost confidence in the shooting! Aldridge, who competed with Yao Ming in the first three quarters, was made to miss his own shots by Nowitzki's shooting, and Roy, who had a strong psychological quality... Even if he was the Yellow Mamba, even if China and the United States were both in favor of Sun Ce and him, the title of the Yellow Mamba had a higher support rate for him, he could not resist Nowitzki's firepower like a god descending from the earth.
Nowitzki scored 22 points in a single quarter, led the team to score a single quarter, and made the opponent lose confidence in the shooting! Nowitzki, who scored 8 points in the first three quarters, actually scored 30 points after the whole game!
Nowitzki broke the Trail Blazers in the final quarter! He won the game alone in the final quarter. The Mavericks were only 1 point behind, but Nowitzki defeated the Trail Blazers!
, the Mavericks won the decisive battle and led 3-2!
After watching Nowitzki's performance in the fourth quarter, Sun Ce looked at the Silver Horn King who was interviewed after the game and couldn't help but sprayed: "Fuck! I call you, do you dare to answer?"
"Brother, you can't say swear words!"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Sun Ce poked Zugoo's face who was playing games, turned off the TV, and began to review the horror of the fourth quarter.
According to Sun Ce's impression, when the Lakers met the Mavericks for the first time in the second round, Kobe could still compete with Nowitzki and competed with him in mid-range shots. In the end, Nowitzki made the winning shot and the Mavericks won by two points.
But Kobe couldn't stand it in the second game, let alone Roy and Aldridge! No matter how fierce and hard they tried in the regular time, in the fourth quarter, they could not compare with the combination of Kobe + Gasol, and were slaughtered by Nowitzki!
Sun Ce thought to himself: "Is this the way Carlisle found to solve Nowitzki's integration? If he can't integrate, why not just not integrate?"
After Sun Ce had this terrifying assumption, he estimated that the Mavericks in the original time and space, when Nowitzki's personal ability was still at its peak, had never integrated into Carlisle's system!
From what he saw, Jason Terry obviously performed better than Nowitzki in the tactical system. Sun Ce seemed to be sure of this. Nowitzki integrated into the system and could not replace Jason Terry's role.
In other words, in the playoffs that year, the Mavericks basically played team offense with Kidd as the core. Nowitzki played a role player in the regular time, occasionally played alone, and took over the game at the critical moment?
Sun Ce tried to recall it, and combined with the game he just watched, he came to a conclusion: the Mavericks generally don't play well in regular time. With such an excellent lineup, they don't seem to have an advantage whether playing against the Trail Blazers, Lakers, Thunder, or Heat in regular time.
But in the fourth quarter, Nowitzki was like a god descending to earth. He could score 10 points or more in a single quarter with a hit rate of more than 50% under double-teaming.
At this time, Kidd used Nowitzki's terror to connect other people's scores, and he was invincible. He crushed the team from the second round and won the championship.
And this time and space...
Nowitzki's characteristic is even stronger!
Because in regular time, there is not only Jason Terry, but also Yao Ming!
Originally, the Blazers' offensive and defensive performance in the first three quarters was difficult to compete with Kidd, Jason Terry, and Chandler as the core. Nowitzki couldn't grab Jason Terry's ball in regular time, because even if he replaced Jason Terry, the team's tactics would not be better.
But now with Yao Ming, the Mavericks can compete with the explosive Trail Blazers in regular time. Then, Nowitzki gathered his strength in the first three quarters, and in the last quarter, he was like a god descending to earth and knocking down everything!
Moreover, facing the defense of Batum and Gerald Wallace, Nowitzki did not have the timid feeling in the first four games, whether facing the basket or back to the basket.
Beyond Sun Ce's imagination!
Sun Ce thought that Carlisle had used some magic to integrate Nowitzki into the team, but it turned out that it was simply because Nowitzki broke the psychological shadow of facing Stephen Jackson when facing the defense of Batum and Gerald Wallace when playing against the Trail Blazers. He was in full firepower when facing the basket and back to the basket, and he was in great shape, and simply and roughly knocked down the opponent in the fourth quarter.
It's that simple, but the simpler, the harder it is to deal with
The Mavericks did not have any new tactics, but Nowitzki had an ultimate explosion on the basis of a team with 60 wins.
To deal with such a Nowitzki, Kobe, who played so well in the playoffs this year, was suppressed by Nowitzki!
That is, unless someone on the Grizzlies can play better than Nowitzki in the fourth quarter, they will not be able to win in the fourth quarter if they continue to fight like that in the first three quarters.
Or... they will beat the Mavericks in the first three quarters, and they will have to withstand Nowitzki's impact in the fourth quarter...
It's completely different from the mentality of the fans when watching the game. As a player, seeing this scene... It's terrible!
If...
Sun Ce felt confused. What if this is the normal state of Nowitzki in the playoffs this year?
After being confused, he was actually a little excited. He really wanted the Mavericks to make it to the Western Conference Finals, and he really wanted to beat the Lakers and play a game with Nowitzki in this state!
For no other reason, he just wanted to fight the strongest person!
However, if the Lakers made it to the second round, it would not be easy to deal with them...
The Western Conference is so difficult!
At this time, Sun Ce, who had a strange way of thinking, suddenly thought of something - "Will our head coach let me, Sun, defend the Silver Horn King?"
