823. The General Sets Sail

At nine o'clock in the evening, the sixth game of the series between the Suns and the Spurs started.

Without much surprise, the Spurs defeated the Suns 115 to 99 and advanced to the second round 4 to 2.

The four veterans of the Suns have done their best. With a certain coincidence, they made it to the playoffs with their efforts, and won the first game of the playoffs by surprise, and then dragged it to the sixth game, winning the respect of the fans.

However, Sun Ce's attention was not on this game tonight. It can be seen from the fifth game that the veterans have no more oil to charge this season. Just like most fans, he wanted to see the last game of the four veterans together.

After the game, Zu Goose had fallen asleep...

Sun Ce picked up Zu Goose and put it back on the bed in her room, and then went back to the study upstairs to think about the next series.

The first game of the series must be won!

Because before the game tomorrow, it is his MVP award ceremony, and he doesn't want to lose on such a night.

He won the MVP with more than 100 first-place votes.

Others who received first-place votes included Howard, Kobe, Rose, Evans, Duncan, Gasol, Wade, and James.

Although many media did not give James first-place votes, he only received one first-place vote, but his total votes ranked fourth, with 12% of the total points, higher than Kobe and Evans, and he received most of the second-place votes.

James was excluded from the regular season MVP award this year from the beginning. It was very difficult to win three consecutive regular season MVPs, not to mention the off-court incident.

In fact, even if James did not change teams, it would be very difficult to win the MVP. It was difficult to win consecutive MVPs. Last season, James won consecutive MVPs with a terrifying PER of 31.1. This efficiency can no longer be improved, especially if he stays in the Cavaliers, which has reached the limit.

Sun Ce won the regular season MVP. James, Nash, Randolph and others who have good relationships and are active on social media sent congratulatory messages. Black Widow and Wang Keying, who has gained some fame as Sun Ce's girlfriend, also sent congratulations to Sun Ce on their favorite social media.

Little brother Curry did not feel jealous or hateful today. There are things that cannot be envied. He sent a tweet, which was a photo of him and Sun Ce when he just entered the NBA, giving people a sense of déjà vu of riding on the popularity.

Yao Ming also praised Sun Ce as the number one player in Chinese basketball during an interview.

Although he is still the number one player in the minds of the Chinese, he said so.

Wade, Evans, Rose, Harden and other opponents who have a good relationship with Sun Ce also expressed their congratulations.

Best Manager Cuban, Best Rookie Griffin, Best Sixth Man Odom, Most Improved Award Sun Ce, Best Coach Coach Hollins, MVP is Sun Ce, and only the Best Defensive Player has not been announced. Sun Ce estimated that Howard will receive the award in the office.

It is sad to receive the award in the office, but it is also sad to receive the award on the spot and lose the game.

It’s just that in terms of strength, their Grizzlies do not have an advantage!

Although the Lakers defeated the Thunder 4-2, it was not difficult from the process. They won when they played well. The Lakers also won the second game when Kobe was not in good shape. The key lies in... the three towers!

Although Sun Ce remembered that Odom would hardly play next season, it was a sudden cliff-like decline. In terms of efficiency, this season was the peak year of Odom's career.

Gasol... in 2015, he was still the starting center of the Eastern Conference All-Stars and a second-team player.

Bynum, it is estimated that Yao Ming will not be able to compete with Bynum for the best lineup next season. It is not that Yao Ming has no advantage when facing Bynum, but overall, if Bynum becomes the core of the inside line, Yao Ming, who is over 30 and protected by the Mavericks, cannot compare with Bynum in data and performance.

This trio, their Grizzlies' inside four-man team can only compete with the changeable inside line combination, and they have to play well.

The outside Grizzlies and the Lakers also have their own characteristics. They are both strong defensive teams, and the Lakers also have 9 players in rotation...

It's difficult!

There are also new events!

"The End of the Dynasty: The Attack of the Little Overlord (S) Stage 7 event.

Goal: End the Los Angeles Lakers' two consecutive championships.

Event rewards: 1. Sweep the Lakers and reward Dirk Nowitzki 2010-2011 playoff version star experience card (God descended to earth).

2. Eliminate the Lakers in five games and reward Kobe Bryant two consecutive championships random star experience card.

3. Eliminate the Lakers in six games and reward Lamar Odom 2010-2011 version star experience card.

4. Eliminate the Lakers in seven games and reward Lakers 2010-2011 random player star experience card.

Failure penalty: S-level random failure penalty. The score of this stage event will be the lowest F.

Note: The score of this stage event is calculated based on the number of losses of the host's team in the series with the Lakers. The lower the losses, the higher the score, the highest S level."

Sun Ce really wants to play in the playoffs with the Lakers. If possible, he hopes to meet the strongest opponent in the playoffs every year.

Regardless of winning or losing, playing against a strong team is fun. Who wants to play against a weak chess player? Of course, playing against the strongest is more interesting.

For Sun Ce, playing basketball is a very happy thing, not to mention making money.

But... because of this incident, there is extra pressure.

The task of sniping the Lakers dynasty fell on the Grizzlies!

Before the start of the playoffs, there was a ranking of combat power, and the Lakers, who won two consecutive championships, were undoubtedly ranked first.

No matter how the first round played, the Lakers were still the top team in the playoffs, and the biggest favorite to win the championship in the minds of fans, media, and experts.

Sun Ce remembered that in the original time and space, in the second round of the 2011 playoffs, even if the Lakers lost the first two home games, before the third game, public opinion still believed that the Lakers could win the series.

The Lakers, who won the championship in the past two years, now have such a hot popularity and such a high status in people's minds.

So the Mavericks swept the Lakers 4-0 at that time, which caused such a big sensation, so that people concluded at that time that the Mavericks had an absolute advantage whether playing against the Thunder or the Heat.

Just like now, the Grizzlies entered the playoffs as the second in the West and entered the second round, but not many people were optimistic about them.

So in the past few days, not many people have discussed how the Grizzlies will play against the Lakers in the second round. The news about the Grizzlies is almost all about Sun Ce personally.

Because when the Lakers won three consecutive championships last time, except for the first championship, the next two championships were not ranked first in the regular season. In the 01-02 season, the third championship season was only ranked third in the West. But when the Lakers played against the Spurs in the second round, everyone was optimistic that the Lakers could beat the Spurs, and in the end, the Lakers really beat the Spurs 4-1 and entered the Western Conference Finals.

This view of fans and media is the same as that of the media and fans in Memphis and Tennessee where the Grizzlies are located.

From the news that Sun Ce has seen in the past few days, the posts of fans online, etc., it seems that local fans seem to have a feeling of "Let's enjoy the present moment".

When the team was confirmed to enter the playoffs as the second team in the Western Conference and was expected to meet the Lakers in the second round, the local fans were like this. The Thunder finally tied the Lakers 2-2, and the local fans temporarily defected to become Thunder fans...

This made Sun Ce a little depressed, the Lakers' strong momentum came over like this.

But as a local... bear? Sun Ce really wanted to slap his own fans in the face.

You have to work hard!

In fact, this kind of public opinion atmosphere is good for the Grizzlies and Sun Ce.

They will not be crushed by this kind of pessimistic pressure. On the contrary, the impetuous atmosphere of being praised when they just swept the Nuggets is completely gone. After the Lakers won the decisive battle and almost confirmed their entry into the second round, they, the Grizzlies, still had a "just do it" team atmosphere because the public opinion tended to be that the Lakers would meet the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals.

Sun Ce opened the system prop space.

Kobe Peak Card, this is Sun Ce's current ultimate weapon.

When I used Kobe's star experience card this season, my efficiency was not as high as Kobe's. I had the help of physical potions, so I played longer, fought harder, and won by a few more points than Kobe.

Now Kobe's peak card is probably better than Kobe's now after the bonus.

Regarding the incident with the Lakers series, Sun Ce certainly wanted the Silver Horn King's peak playoff version star experience card. This special mark of "God descending to earth" was the first time Sun Ce saw it.

Sun Ce didn't know whether this special mark meant that he would get the state of Nowitzki in the fourth quarter directly, or that he would only have that state in the fourth quarter.

But he definitely wanted it.

In addition to Kobe's peak card, Sun Ce also has James' 1.0 version of the 08-09 season star experience card, the 23-year-old Bynum's star experience card, and the star experience card of Skiles, who is not expected to be particularly strong, and the star experience card of this year's All-Star Rookie Game.

There is also the physical potion that was fully charged after playing against the Nuggets. This round of series can be used at least once, and if it drags on for a long time, it may be used twice.

Sun Ce felt that he had to plan the order of use...

No way, the team is a stable team, the two bears + two emperors + the outside defense group are all the lower limits of the team's strength, and Sun Ce has to take on the role of raising the upper limit of the team.

But now there is another good thing. Sun Ce looked at the "designated skill upgrade card*1" in the prop space. On May 1, he exchanged this special card, but he was always hesitant about which one to upgrade.

Originally, there was no need to hesitate. He wanted to upgrade the "turnaround jump shot king".

But...

"Host uses the designated skill upgrade card, designated turnaround jump shot king level 1, after upgrading, the comprehensive evaluation of mid-range shots needs to be upgraded to A-level to activate the level 2 effect, and there is no need to complete the exclusive event. Do you want to upgrade?"

Try to upgrade the turnaround jump shot king level 1 again. After trying it, Sun Ce answered "NO" in his heart.

This is a pitfall!

The skills obtained from Boss Qiao are really pitfalls!

To upgrade the level, the skills must be improved, and the exclusive event must be completed. Sun Ce estimated that it is similar to the event of obtaining this skill. Certain requirements must be completed in the game. Of course, you can use the skill upgrade card to upgrade, but the premise is that the ability must be improved.

Under the current circumstances, Sun Ce will definitely not use it on this. Since he has learned through this way that Boss Qiao's skills are upgraded in this way, he can just follow the steps.

Now there are three skills in front of Sun Ce that are most suitable.

First, it is to upgrade the accelerated change of direction during the process to level 4. After developing the defensive effect of the accelerated change of direction during the process, it can continue to strengthen the single defense bonus.

Second, the ball pick and roll expert level 2 is upgraded to level 3, and an additional effect can be developed: the offensive bonus under the basket.

Third, it's not a mistake, but... the skill of Overlord Dunk Level 1.

Although Sun Ce didn't want to believe it, he felt that this skill was very useful. His ability to catch the ball was greatly improved, and it was easy to cause the opponent's inside foul. With the buff of "Master of Foul Making", if the opponent committed a foul when he caught the ball, the referee would at least not blow the whistle because of the reputation of the opponent's inside group.

Look at James, he was almost beaten to blood by the Hawks' inside group in the first round. He only had 30 free throws in the first 5 games, and missed nearly half of them.

The game will be played tomorrow, and it must be decided today, otherwise it will obviously be a headache to upgrade which one.

"Keep on being outstanding!"

Sun Ce finally gave up the upgrade of the ball-handling pick-and-roll expert and Overlord Dunk temporarily. These two upgrades can directly increase his current offensive under the basket in certain situations, but they just correspond to the opponent's strongest inside line, which is more restrictive.

And if the only level 3 skill is upgraded to level 4, it is possible that the next time you get a random skill upgrade card, you will be lucky enough to reach the maximum level.

With a thought, the system prompt came.

"The host uses the designated skill upgrade card to designate the 3rd level of accelerated change of direction while moving...

Congratulations to the host for upgrading the 3rd level of accelerated change of direction while moving to the 4th level."

"Level 4 of accelerated change of direction while moving:

Offense: When the host uses the accelerated change of direction skill while moving to get rid of the defense below the free throw line during the breakthrough process, the speed will be temporarily increased by a small level to S within one second. When the host gets rid of the defense of the inside defender at close range, an additional one-second burst acceleration can be obtained, and the inertial effect brought by the burst speed can be greatly reduced.

Defense: When the host encounters a change of direction breakthrough in the assist defense, if the accelerated change of direction skill is used, the burst speed will be temporarily increased by a large level to A level. If the host follows the opponent at this stage Fang's change of direction breakthrough did not completely lose position. 1. The opponent continues to change direction breakthrough, the host can obtain an additional second burst acceleration on the defensive end, and greatly reduce the inertial impact of the burst speed. 2. The opponent chooses a sudden stop jump shot or a step-back jump shot, the host's bounce speed is temporarily increased by a small level to A+, and the bounce is temporarily increased by a small level to B-.

Level 5 to be developed bonus: the bonus effect is improved overall.

Note: This skill upgrade is related to the burst power and burst speed of the legs. You can use a designated skill upgrade card or a random skill upgrade card to upgrade randomly. "

As expected by Sun Ce, it is the second burst bonus on the defensive end, which is the same as the second burst acceleration when upgrading from level 1 to level 2.

However, there is an unexpected surprise!

The second bonus on the defensive end also has a bonus on bounce speed and bounce when facing the opponent's sudden stop jump shot or step-back jump shot. Although each is only a small level, he still has Olajuwon's hand straps!

That is, when he chooses to make a single stop jump shot or a single step-back jump shot, his bounce speed can be increased by two small grades to S-, and his jumping ability can be increased by two small grades to B!

Mainly the bounce speed!

However, this improvement...

"Is my old Sun going to be the block king forever?"

...

...

From the 27th to the second round, a week has passed.

The Grizzlies finally ushered in the second round of the playoffs.

This is the second time in the history of the Grizzlies that they have entered the second round. They entered last year, but they met the Suns, who fought the Lakers to the sixth game and lost the Western Conference Finals in two consecutive games. They were easily defeated in the second round.

This year they met the Lakers again...

At around nine in the morning, when the Lakers team bus entered the FedEx Center, the fans who had been blocking outside the center early were madly cursing and giving the middle finger to the Lakers.

Sun Ce hid in a dark corner, watching his fans so excited, and felt that the fans were more worried and afraid, and lacked the confidence of the Lakers fans.

The contrast was obvious, and Sun Ce would not blame the fans for their bad mentality. This was because they failed to give the fans greater confidence, which could not be cultivated in one or two years. Moreover, in recent years, no fans of other teams could remain calm when they met the Lakers in the playoffs.

However, Sun Ce felt very happy to have such a group of fans supporting him. It was much better than the Heat and the Knicks. As long as the former was about to lose, most of the fans in the finals would run away, and the latter... would directly turn against them.

At least his team has changed from running to cheer and scream when the Lakers came here to play to booing the Lakers. This is a good change.

Back at the training ground, Sun Ce continued to prepare for the game. He just had a headache studying the triangle offense, so he went out to take a walk and accidentally saw the Lakers coming to the stadium.

Now Sun Ce's mood has become more excited. He seems to be able to feel the presence of the group of people in the training ground next door, and he has an urge to get on the court and have a wave of confrontation with the opponent!

…

…

At 5:30 pm Eastern Time, the first game of the series between the Bulls and the 76ers started.

Sun Ce really wanted to watch, really wanted to watch the match between Rose and Evans, whose development paths had completely changed. However, they were also in the warm-up stage, which had started half an hour ago, and the interviews had not stopped since morning. No matter what they did, even going to the bathroom, there were cameramen and reporters waiting outside the bathroom.

It was mainly about MVP. Now there were cameras from .T and the court station during the warm-up, so there was no time and energy to pay attention to other games.

Sun Ce suppressed the restlessness in his heart and warmed up well to prepare for the game. A week has passed and he has made all the preparations he can. Now he is waiting to play the game. The fans are uneasy, and they naturally have it as players.

In fact, even when leading 3-0 in the first round, Sun Ce and his teammates did not dare to relax due to such praise from the outside world. There were always concerns, not to mention that the next opponent was the Lakers.

Sun Ce and his teammates wanted to fight without fear, but before the game, all the emotions they should have would come, but they had already done a good job of psychological construction to suppress these emotions to a minimum.

At 7:20 in the evening, when the Bulls and 76ers were about to start the fourth quarter, Sun Ce and his teammates entered the court...

…

"MVP...MVP..."

There was no entrance ceremony this time. Players from both teams entered the stadium directly. The pre-match time tonight was 20 minutes longer than before. Tonight’s pre-match time belonged to Sun Ce!

The fans at the scene have been shouting MVP since the players from the two teams entered the stadium. This is the first time they confidently shouted MVP for Sun Ce, because from today on, Sun Ce is really the MVP!

The team owner cheered with the fans again, and Chris Wallace took over the role of the owner and went up to praise Sun Ce.

Kobe looked at Sun Ce, who was chatting with his girlfriend and sister on the sidelines and laughing non-stop. Although he had known that Sun Ce would win the MVP this season, he still felt shocked.

When it comes to strength, he thinks Sun Ce is still far behind, but thinking about Sun Ce's role in the Grizzlies team and Sun Ce's habitual explosiveness... But Kobe feels that Sun Ce can score 72 points even if he explodes the most. That time, he was able to fight and felt that he performed better than Sun Ce. However, Kobe also felt that Sun Ce deserved to win the MVP.

This was the first time for Kobe to encounter such a situation. It was the first time that he had such complicated feelings when meeting someone.

The main reason is that when Sun Ce uses the star experience card, he will try his best and find ways to maximize the abilities of "others", because a star experience card is only such an opportunity, coupled with the sudden change of playing style, he often achieves Of course, there are miraculous effects. Of course, there are times when you miss. When playing against the Suns in the playoffs last year, there was a situation where using the star experience card did not have much effect. But most of the time, using the star experience card resulted in a big explosion. When there was no explosion, the opponent did not know. , just treat him as normal.

Therefore, even if Sun Ce uses the star experience card to meet the player, he will most likely play better than him. Because he has such strength, his opponent is also used to his style of play, so he can defend himself how to defend. Sun Ce is The play style changes suddenly, so there will be such a big difference.

Kobe was in a state of confusion, while Sun Ce chatted with Wang Keying and Zu Ge under the camera for a while, and was reminded by the staff that he would be here soon.

Wang Keying came to Memphis at noon today. Sun Ce won the MVP, so of course she had to come to celebrate.

Sun Ce came to the sidelines, and Jordan came up to help Sun Ce tidy up his training clothes. At this time, the team's general manager Chris Wallace suddenly raised his voice: "... God bless us, we are lucky to welcome the best players in the world. Come to our team and welcome our lord, general, and great people’s artist Noah!”

Just after Chris Wallace said these words, the lights dimmed, the spotlight shone on Sun Ce, and the cheers burst out again.

Sun Ce walked to the center of the court, where league vice president Stu Jackson and the Grizzlies cheerleaders came to the court carrying the MVP trophy on a tray.

Stu Jackson took the microphone and said only one sentence: "NBA 2010-2011 regular season MVP, SunCe!"

After saying this, Stu Jackson handed the Podolov Cup to Sun Ce. Sun Ce raised the trophy, and the crowd cheered!

It was the first time he won such a big award and felt the atmosphere at the scene. Sun Ce had forgotten all the acceptance speeches he had planned before. After enjoying the cheers for a while and taking the microphone, Sun Ce said "Uh..." for a long time, and everyone in the audience started laughing. I got up, glanced at Kobe on the sidelines, and had an idea: "Thank you everyone, the general's journey has begun!"

Sun Ce only called himself "General" once in the program broadcast yesterday. When he won the MVP this time, he called himself "General" again. He didn't have a long acceptance speech, just one sentence...

It’s really special!

It was the first time the fans encountered this situation. They felt that Sun Ce was so different and the fans were the cutest, so they just cheered.

When Kobe Bryant on the sidelines heard Sun Ce's impressive acceptance speech, he spat out "Hiate". When he won the MVP, he didn't expect to be able to show off like this. He decided that when he retired, he would So pretentious.

In a simple sentence, others can remember it deeply, and it will appear that they have a strong and calm psychological quality when facing such important moments.

It took the reporters a while to realize that this man couldn't figure it out! Winning the regular season MVP award at the age of 21, he actually finished his acceptance speech in two seconds. After he realized what he was doing, dozens of top media from all over the world gathered around him for an award-winning interview.

At this time, only the top domestic media outlets from economically and militarily powerful countries who can enter the venue for interviews have the opportunity, such as China's Imperial TV Station, Xinhua News Agency, Guangdong Sports, the three major TV stations in the United States, Sports Illustrated, and Canada's Columbia Radio and television stations, island countries, British BBC, etc.

The ten-minute interview ended, and the referees notified the reporters to leave. Sun Ce returned to the sidelines, handed the trophy to Zu Goose and Wang Keying, and returned to the bench. The two teams began to make final preparations before the game.

…

The awards have been won, and now… it’s time to play!

Winning awards brings not only honor and cheers, but also greater pressure.

The preparations for tonight’s game have been made long ago, and now it’s just emphasized.

Sun Ce has studied the Lakers’ playoffs and the end of the regular season so many times that some of the discs are already worn out.

While putting on the hand straps and arm guards, Sun Ce had a thought...

"Host uses Kobe Bryant's Peak Star Experience Card... Random..."

"What's going on?"

Sun Ce decided to use Kobe's Peak Card to play well on the night of winning the MVP to help the team win. In addition to not wanting to lose on the night of winning the MVP, the first game is very important. It is very important for the team to win the first game of the series. If they lose the first game, the morale will be greatly affected. On the contrary, the Lakers, who are playing away, don't care much about winning or losing the first game.

But Sun Ce didn't expect that Kobe's Peak Card would be random!

"5 Kobes" appeared on the big screen.

"2002-2003 version, S+ level, averaging 30 points, 6.9 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 2.2 steals, 0.8 blocks, 9 consecutive games of 40+...

2005-2006 version, SS level, averaging 35.4 points, 62 points in three quarters, 81 points in a single game...

2006-2007 version, SS level, averaging 31.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 4 consecutive games of 50+, 10 times of 50+ in a single season...

2007-2008 version, SS level, averaging 28.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.8 steals, MVP...

2009-2010 version, S+ level, averaging 27 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5 assists, 6 buzzer beaters in the regular season..."

Under the flashing "5 Kobes" stereoscopic image, the ability evaluation of the 5 peak Kobes determined by the learning machine and the most famous performance of the season are marked.

Each one looks so awesome.

Relatively speaking, Sun Ce feels that the older Kobe is, the more stable he is. Except for the 08-09 season when his playing time was limited by Zen Master and his data declined, which was not judged as his peak by the system, four of the five seasons from 05 to 10 were judged as his peak, and the 02-03 season was unexpected by Sun Ce. Kobe in that season seemed to be no worse than the other seasons, but this season did not seem to be particularly outstanding compared to the other seasons, and the other seasons had outstanding performances.

Watching the "5 Kobes" flashing in turn, Sun Ce was looking forward to which one he could get. 05-07 was the peak of his personal ability, 02-03 Sun Ce did not know much about, 07-08 was the most balanced year for Kobe, and 09-10 was the most stable year... Originally, Sun Ce thought that there might be something fishy about the randomness, but now, it's okay to pick any one randomly. Of course, SS level is the best, S+ level is not bad, anyway, in theory, they are better than the current Kobe.

Finally, the flashing light stopped on the 02-03 version of Kobe!

"Host uses Kobe Bryant's 02-03 version of the Star Experience Card (Peak), ability rating S+, offense S, defense S... endurance SS...

Kobe Bryant's temporary skill for the current season: Hidden Dragon Level 5, Peter Pan's stamina pool Level 5...

Matching bonus..."

There are also two skills for characteristic conversion, and they are new skills that Sun Ce has never seen before!
