Eight Hundred and Thirty. Three Pairs Again, Another Win!

18 points, 14 rebounds and 14 assists. Sun Ce didn't want to, but the opponent gave him a chance. He played 42 minutes and got a triple-double! In addition to the main measurement data, Sun Ce also had 3 blocks and 1 steal. The 5 turnovers were relatively big problems. The opponent team defended well, but still had an assist-to-turnover ratio of close to 3:1, which was a really good performance.

Randolph had 17 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists.

The two combined for only 35 points, which was far lower than the 41 points they averaged together in the regular season.

But the Grizzlies scored 102 points tonight, nearly 8 points higher than the regular season!

After getting a triple-double and not being interviewed by the American media after the game, Sun Ce was the only one who got it.

Tonight, Morrow made 8 of 12 three-pointers. With an ultra-high shooting percentage of 67%, he became another Grizzlies player after Sun Ce to hit at least 8 three-pointers in a single game.

Morrow was very critical in the last game. Every time the point difference widened the fastest, Sun Ce and Morrow were on the court at the same time, such as the first half of the first quarter, the first half of the second quarter, the second half of the third quarter, and the second half of the third quarter. In the second half of one quarter, the second half of the second quarter and the first half of the third quarter, the Grizzlies failed to take advantage of the Lakers, led by Kobe Bryant who shot 50% from the field.

Tonight, Morrow made 10 of 15 shots, including 8 three-pointers and 3 free throws. He scored 31 points and scored the highest score in the game.

Morrow's three three-pointers in the first quarter were key goals for the Grizzlies to establish their advantage. At the same time, Kobe's foul caused Sun Ce to expand his lineup advantage and lead the team to defend the point difference. The Grizzlies scored 55 at halftime. 9 points ahead of 46.

Morrow's three three-pointers in the third quarter were the key goals to stabilize the advantage when Kobe Bryant returned in anger and scored 14 points in a single quarter. At the end of the three quarters, the Lakers withstood Kobe's burst time and team defense. After three quarters, the score was 75 to 68 and still maintained a 7-point lead.

Morrow's two three-pointers in the final quarter, plus Gasol and Randolph's combined 10 points in the final quarter, and with Sun Ce containing the defense to deliver a pass, the Grizzlies withstood the Lakers' counterattack 26-28 in the final quarter. .

In the end, the Grizzlies beat the Lakers 101-96, making the score 2-0!

Morrow scored 31 points in a single game, stealing the spotlight from both Sun Ce, who scored a triple-double in 42 minutes, and Kobe, who scored 35 points in 33 minutes!

Even with a triple-double and a win, Sun Ce did not become the best player in the game. When Morrow was being interviewed, Sun Ce floated behind Morrow: "Three of the three-pointers were assists from me...my assists..."

Morrow couldn't help laughing and said: "Yes, yes,

It's because you pass the ball well, our general, and with your command we can win. "

Morrow didn't expect that one day Sun Ce would rub his camera. Randolph used to take them to rub Sun Ce's camera. It felt really good!

Sun Ce and Morrow were showing off during the interview, while Coach Hollins, who was being interviewed by the media on the other side, watched Morrow perform so well in the playoffs... and was both happy and worried about the future.

Sun Ce and Morrow stepped up and broke out one after another, and their teammates cooperated without any grudges even if their shooting rights were reduced. This was an important factor in winning the first two games.

In the first game, Sun Ce made more than 30 shots, while Randolph only made 14, but Randolph didn't complain. Today, Morrow made 15 outside shots, and Sun Ce dropped from 17 or 18 shots in the normal state to 12, and he didn't complain.

The team's best players inside and outside reduce their shots like this, and everyone else follows suit, which is why such a good team performance can be achieved.

Except for Morrow's 31 points, no one else on the Grizzlies scored 20 points. Only Sun Ce, Randolph, Gasol, and Battier scored in double figures. The highest was only 18 points. Battier and Gasol scored 11 points and 12 points, both very selfless.

It can be said that in these two games, Sun Ce and Morrow broke out and raised the team's upper limit to win these two games.

In the second game, it was confirmed that there was indeed a strength gap between the Grizzlies and the Lakers. The other team was stronger. Kobe played 9 minutes in the first half, and the normal playing time was only 7 minutes, but the Lakers were still there. In the second half, they almost caught up with the score, thanks to Morrow's three-pointers one after another, killing the game.

Morrow scored 31 points in 23 minutes. This is actually not much different from Sun Ce's 54 points in the first game. Both are performances of super scorers based on the stable performance of the team.

But Morrow's outstanding performance caused great trouble to the Grizzlies management... What a great game!

Morrow has already caused pain and joy to the Grizzlies management during the regular season. Without a mid-level player, it is unlikely that he will be able to retain this young player who has been promoted to the league's top pitcher.

Coupled with his performance in the playoffs... Theoretically speaking, Coach Hollins estimates that Morrow should be in the same market as Korver, a mid-level player, and the price will be a premium if there is more, and Darrell Wright will not be the same. to the middle class.

But with a total of 20 three-pointers in 6 games in these two rounds of playoffs, it was mainly because tonight's 8 three-pointers in a single game directly raised Morrow's single playoff three-point hit to 10+ level. 20+ levels.

It's really hard to say which team with a young head will offer a 10 million contract at the level of Ray Allen. Let alone 10 million, even 8 million, the Grizzlies can't afford it.

Last summer, Morrow promised Sun Ce to sign first and then exchange for the Grizzlies. His performance was much higher than the little money he has received so far. The player option next season will not be implemented 100%.

As the head coach, Coach Hollins knows more about labor negotiations than anyone else. There is a clause that the owners of small city teams must add, and that is - the super luxury tax.

After renewing the contracts of Sun Ce, Conley, and Gasol, the Grizzlies' salary will be very exaggerated. By then, they will not be able to be as lavish with money as before. Even Robert Pera will be in pain. times the luxury tax.

Coach Hollins watched Sun Ce and Morrow being interviewed arm in arm. He could only smile helplessly, shook his head, walked into the tunnel, and left the court first.

Coach Hollins cannot ask Sun Ce to talk to Morrow about a cheap contract extension. From his understanding of contact with Sun Ce in the past two years, Sun Ce will not ask his close teammates to cut their salaries and renew just because he wants to strengthen the team. About, although from the team's perspective, this core mentality is helpless, but from the perspective of a former player, Coach Hollins would also like such a core to lead him if he plays.

Coach Hollins now likes what Sun Ce said: Leave tomorrow's worries to tomorrow, otherwise what will tomorrow do?

The task this season is to reach the Western Conference Finals. Coach Hollins put aside these worries. Morrow played so well. Of course, he must carefully plan how to rotate Morrow's 20 minutes of physical strength in order to make the team Maximize your offensive capabilities.

…

…

Not every time you fail, you can find the reason for the failure and think of a solution; not every time you succeed, you can understand the key to success and study it thoroughly to win again.

Especially for the game, if you look at it to the extreme, the Hawks defeated the Heat in the first game of the series, but they were unable to fight back in the next four games; the Raptors in the original time and space in the future were 15-16 The first time he played against James in the season, James won in a tiebreaker. Then the Raptors were swept for two consecutive years in the 16-17 and 17-18 seasons.

The game is a matter for both sides. When you make adjustments using your current experience, the opponent is also making adjustments.

After the game against the Lakers, Sun Ce went home and practiced the Nash training method and soaked in the bathtub, trying to analyze "where they won", and then found... winning in uncertain bursts!

It is true that Morrow's explosion was not just his own. 10 of Morrow's 10 field goals were all successful catch-and-shoot attempts, all assisted by his teammates. After he played well, his teammates were aware of his presence. Pass the ball over as soon as he is open, even delaying his own shooting opportunity.

If there is no outbreak of Moreau, there is a certain probability that there will be an outbreak of Conley or Randolph, Gasol or even Sun Ce.

The probability may be small, but after Sun Ce's analysis, it was because of this, because Morrow's outbreak disrupted the rhythm of the game between the two teams. It is definitely true that the Lakers' defensive end was in chaos as a result, but the Grizzlies' own The offense therefore played very differently than expected.

In other words, this is a style of play that is difficult to replicate. It can only be said that there is a winning idea - when the team is stable and does not hold back, one of the players breaks out.

"Life is so difficult..."

Thinking of this, Sun Ce stood up melancholy, wiped off the water on his body, dried his hair, then returned to the bed and lay down on his stomach.

The game is not about how many points the team scores per game + how many extra points the players score out of the game, how many points more than the average score per game can be achieved.

In this year's playoffs, Morrow averaged 12.2 points per game before this game. He scored 31 points in this game. The team was not as exaggerated as scoring 10 points more than usual.

This is the first time Sun Ce has had such a headache and a hard time competing in a game!

Last year they also advanced easily in the first round. In the second round, their strength faced the Suns. It was much harder for them to face the Lakers who were stronger than now.

But there was no pressure at that time, and Sun Ce didn't find it troublesome at all. He only had one thought - just do it and be done.

But now, he has become better, his teammates have become better, and the team has become better, but winning feels more stressful than losing last year.

Wang Keying came back and saw Sun Ce lying in a state of corpse. She patted Sun Ce on the butt and asked, "Lord, what happened today? Why are you still like this after winning three pairs?"

Sun Ce told Wang Keying about his troubles.

"Isn't that what growing up is like? When I was in China, I didn't have many job opportunities. I traveled around every month, and sometimes the money I earned wasn't enough to spend. But at that time, I didn't have any pressure at all. I just knew how to practice singing hard and work hard every day. Strive for job opportunities,

But now that I'm back in the United States, I have more opportunities. I'm being filmed, I'm invited to be a guest on a show, and I've also found a great boyfriend like Lord Lord. But I feel pressure everywhere, and I'm worried that I'm not good enough to keep up. With your steps, you are worried that you will not be able to do well in the job you get, and you are worried that someone will say that I am not good enough for you..."

Wang Keying originally wanted to enlighten Sun Ce, but as she talked, she felt that her life was getting harder and harder, and the two began to complain about the troubles of their respective jobs.

As they talked, the two hugged each other, and as they talked, they began to make unspeakable sounds...

In the early morning, Sun Ce hugged his little sister and girlfriend who had fallen asleep. Although the two of them were complaining and exploring each other's depth, Sun Ce felt that Wang Keying was right.

Growth is never about getting easier, but about taking on greater responsibilities.

Like those who have played for many years in a bad team and are very troubled, suddenly playing for a strong team and starting to win, but it may not be a happy thing, because there is pressure, and the troubles may become more.

Sun Ce thinks that a sentence from a Korean drama in the future still makes sense-if you want to reach the peak, you must endure the pain; if you want to wear the crown, you must bear the weight.

Why did the pressure go from "okay" at the beginning to "suddenly climbing" after the first game, and to the pressure reaching an unpredictable level after the first two home games when playing against the Lakers this time...

Because once the Lakers are defeated, the biggest beneficiary is Sun!

Even if Randolph, Gasol and other core players of the team can beat the Lakers, it is not as important to them as Sun Ce.

He is the MVP, and the media and fans regard him as the leader of the Grizzlies. Although it is not nice to say that the victory depends on someone and the loss depends on teammates in the CBA, Sun Ce has played for two years and found that he really wants this situation to happen.

Unfortunately, the Grizzlies are a team-based team, and he is the "system player representative star". Whether the team performs well or not, he is the one who bears the pressure directly.

Relatively speaking, Morrow played well and helped the team win, so he was only happy.

As for him, Sun Ce, after the team led 2-0, he only had pressure.

Fans and the media don't care whether it is a home advantage or not. They think that a 2-0 lead is an advantage. If the series is lost... public opinion will focus on him.

Who calls him MVP?

"If you want to be a superstar, this road is not easy... No wonder that No. 6 can't bear the pressure even after his teammates have been in the CBA and still go to find cheeks and long-necked dragons to hug each other..."

Although he didn't suddenly understand, Sun Ce at least analyzed where the current emotions that he didn't expect to appear came from.

There must be pressure. He believes that Kobe, who is shouldering the road to another dynasty, will not be less pressure than him, and the other party has been under pressure for much longer than him, for more than ten years.

Think about it, the other side can bear it, and even become the best player in active service. Sun Ce feels that the pressure he bears is justified.

If he can't bear this, how can he talk about the great journey?

People always have their own way of adjusting. Sun Ce is very simple. He thought of a way to adjust the pressure in three or four hours - think about those who are even worse off.

Kobe was so miserable back then. James is probably also miserable in his first year of teaming up. Not to mention the Lakers, Spurs, and Mavericks, Sun Ce feels that if his team enters the finals this season, he can beat the Heat.

Don't look at Randolph's average performance against the Lakers. He tried hard but didn't play a particularly big role. At most, he didn't drag his feet. But in the playoffs, facing the Lakers' three towers, not dragging his feet is already very impressive. Randolph played 39 minutes in every game without dragging his feet. Randolph met Bosh... I guess he could beat Bosh.

Thinking that James is destined to reach the peak of his miserable career this year, Sun Ce feels that his pressure is nothing at all!

"Brother, brother, when we get to Los Angeles, Juanjuan wants to buy a bikini!"

"Than your sister! How old are you! Are you 13 years old? Have you grown up? And you still wear a bikini!"

"It's not just adults who wear bikinis, children wear them too."

"Is that so?"

"Yes! If you don't believe me, ask my sister-in-law! Really, brother actually dislikes Juanjuan's figure. One day Juanjuan will become a hot beauty!"

"I won't ask..."

On the morning of May 7, after Sun Ce and Wang Keying packed their luggage, Wang Keying stayed upstairs to put on makeup. After Sun Ce loaded the luggage into the car, he found that Zu E's chatterbox sister hadn't packed her luggage yet.

Under Sun Ce's repeated urging, Zu E decided what to bring. Today, the driver sent them to the airport, even though the two girls didn't know why they had gathered several boxes of luggage, even though they were only going to Los Angeles for 5 days.

Sun Ce was going to Los Angeles to play basketball, and Wang Keying was definitely going to go with him. Zu Ge also took a leave and took his textbooks with him to Los Angeles, otherwise it would be too pitiful to leave a little girl behind.

After half a year, Zu Ge showed the advantages of Chinese students very well, and soon his grades were among the best. In terms of memorizing textbooks and doing homework, students from China, Japan and South Korea are hard to beat in the world.

…

Arriving at the resort hotel in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Sun Ce was glad that he was not playing under Rivers, otherwise it would be really troublesome to fly separately.

As soon as Zu Ge and Wang Keying were sent to the suite, he received a text message from Randolph, and Sun Ce ran over immediately.

It was exactly 12 noon, and several players on the Grizzlies who were expected to win awards gathered in Randolph's room and kept refreshing the website.

Finally, at 12:05, the awards began to be updated.

The first tweet on the official NBA Twitter account had Randolph's name.

The third team of the 10-11 season's best lineup, Paul, Westbrook, Ginobili, Aldridge, Randolph, and Yao Ming were selected together!

Among them, Westbrook and Ginobili tied for votes.

Originally, Paul was once a favorite for MVP, but he failed again at the critical moment, which happened every time he reached the critical moment.

Randolph was so happy that he twisted his body. In fact, his performance should not be only in the third team, but he was very unpopular in the media. It was even worse in the original time and space. In his entire career, he only had one third team, two All-Stars, one Most Improved Award, Player of the Month, and four Player of the Week, and no other honors.

It was only in the past two years that the Grizzlies had such a good record that Randolph was selected for the third team twice in a row.

Randolph was prepared. If the media was so "evil" that they had to select Gasol into the best team and kick him aside, he could only accept it.

Then came the second team.

After the third team came out, Sun Ce got nervous during the three minutes in between. Don't let the MVP only be in the second team!

In this era of media voting, MVP + second team... how embarrassing!
