Eight Hundred and Thirty-One. The Big Villain Panda Team

Fortunately, this tragic situation did not happen to Sun Ce.

A new tweet from the official NBA Twitter account said that the second team of the 2010-2011 season's best lineup was selected by Rose, Wade, Evans, Nowitzki, and Gasol.

Evans was moved to the forward position to avoid affecting so many excellent point guards from winning the award, and Gasol was also moved to the center position, surpassing Yao Ming.

Although the NBA is doing the "displacement to help someone win the award" operation again, this is a common occurrence and we are used to it.

There was no shock in the best lineup, but Sun Ce was shocked by the best defensive lineup.

He had expected it, but it really came true!

The second defense was also announced at the same time!

Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Holiday, Iguodala, Batum, Tyson Chandler, and Noah were selected for the second defense!

Sun Ce's votes were the same as Holiday's, tied for fourth among guards, and Chandler and Noah's votes were the same, tied for second among centers.

As the awards were announced one by one, Sun Ce felt his heart was about to jump out. He was more surprised than surprised to win the award.

However, Sun Ce had expected that he could be selected into the best team based on data and teamwork. He couldn't do it this year. Rondo played the best defensive performance of his career. Kobe was getting stronger with age. Sun Ce still expected the second defense.

Together with Tony, he won the second defense. Except for the 76ers' forward and guard defense combination of Holiday + Iguodala, no other team's perimeter defense performance was better than their Grizzlies!

It's just that the way the awards were announced... Sun Ce still thinks it was better to post it directly on the official website. It is said that it was a new thing that the school beauty came up with. As far as Sun Ce remembers, the school beauty got a sky-high broadcasting contract by taking advantage of the ratings that increased during David Stern's tenure as president. She was not good at managing the NBA and adjusting NBA games. She was criticized for everything she did. She didn't even know what the fans liked to watch. She only knew to "de-Sternize".

Turning an "award announcement" into an "award ceremony", and an "online text award ceremony", has been criticized by fans countless times this season.

Finally, the last tweet is here.

First team, first defense!

Sun Ce, Kobe, James, Durant, and Howard were selected for the first team.

Rondo, Kobe, James, Garnett, and Howard were selected for the first defense.

After the list came out, Randolph was the first to complain: "Bryant, James, and Howard are all in the first team again..."

As Randolph said, these three have not moved for three years! They have always occupied the first team on both offense and defense.

This is actually very rare. The best team is relatively easy to say, but the best defensive team is incredible. People like Kobe, Duncan, and Garnett who got 8-9 first defenses are simply monsters.

As far as Sun Ce can remember, James and Howard were so strong in defense during their peak years, but the total number of times they defended in their careers was not as many as Kobe and Garnett, only one more than Duncan; the total number of Best Defensive Team awards was not as many as any of Kobe, Duncan, and Garnett.

However, the group of stars and those exciting games at the beginning of the century that kept the NBA ratings rising were inseparable from these three people, especially Kobe and Duncan. Except for the 2006 Finals, they did not participate. From 2000 to 2010, in 11 years, Kobe made 7 Finals and Duncan 3. It can be said that the Western Conference was dominated by the OK combination and Duncan for the entire first ten years.

Thinking of this, Sun Ce felt that there was nothing wrong.

Moreover, Sun Ce was not in the mood to complain with Randolph now.

After the announcement of the Best Team and Best Defense, the system prompt came!

"Because the host was selected into the 2010-2011 season's best lineup first team and the best defensive lineup second team, he achieved the A-level achievement: a dominant season on both offense and defense (selected into the best lineup and the best defensive lineup at the same time). Congratulations to the host for the achievement reward: A-level lottery card."

What a pleasant surprise!

Generally speaking, there is no reward for winning awards. Even MVP Sun Ce did not get any reward. Last season's best sixth man and this season's most improved award also did not get any reward. Sun Ce was expecting an "MVP card", "MIP card", and "sixth man card", but in the end, there was nothing.

If there were really these three cards... Sun Ce would point to the sky and shout: I, Sun Ce, want to beat the Mavericks!

But it doesn't matter whether there is a reward or not. It's worth getting excited about the award. Look at Randolph, he was so happy to get the third team. More than 450 players have participated in the NBA regular season in a season, but there are only 30 awards at most. In addition, there are players such as Kobe, James, Howard, Garnett, Nowitzki, Paul, Garnett... etc. who will occupy at least one or two positions. Other awards are also eyeing each other. It's too difficult to squeeze in!

Sun Ce thinks about this season, it's too dreamy, the most improved award, MVP, first team, second defense, blocked shot king... and he and Curry won the rookie game MVP, plus the best trophy for three months... plus the highest number of weekly best in a single season without a trophy in history, Sun Ce really wants to roar: Who else!

But, just be excited for a while, it's easy to get beaten if you are too arrogant. These panda teammates don't care whether he is MVP or not, and it seems that they all dislike him and always want to find a chance to beat him. He has to be careful.

Sun Ce, Tony Allen and Randolph all gained something and were very happy. There was nothing they could do if Gasol and Conley didn't win the award. Their performance and strength still needed to be improved.

And the best lineup and the best defensive lineup, like the MVP, are very important to the team. For example, Paul went to the Knicks and couldn't show his defensive ability under D'Antoni.

Conley is calm and Gasol is gentle. Both of them have the mentality of "being proud of it"...

...

After winning the award, Sun Ce stayed in Beverly Hills and didn't go out. He wanted to take the two girls to Kobe's house for a big meal, but Kobe refused to answer his call...

In the afternoon, Sun Ce, Randolph and Tony Allen were interviewed in the conference room rented by the hotel.

Except for the three award-winning players, the other players of the Grizzlies were not of much interest to the reporters from Memphis and Tennessee in the United States, but the reporters from China interviewed the entire Grizzlies team.

Fortunately, there is still one day off tomorrow to prepare for the game, which will not have much impact on the Grizzlies, and the Lakers should be in a similar situation.

After a busy afternoon, after dinner, Sun Ce finished practicing the Nash training method with a tired spirit, and collapsed on the sofa in the living room of his suite with Wang Keying and Zu Ge to watch TV.

It is the fifth game day of the second round.

Last night, while the Grizzlies defeated the Lakers, the Bulls beat the 76ers with a difficult score of 92 to 88, at least defending a home court.

When Sun Ce read the battle report, he felt that the 76ers were enjoying the rookie bonus too much. Evans, Holiday, and Thaddeus Young in the starting lineup are all rookie contracts. Even if Thaddeus Young faces a contract extension next season, they still have two rookie contracts for Evans and Holiday, and these two are the core of the team on both offense and defense.

Moreover, Sun Ce heard that the 76ers wanted to promote the new version of the amnesty clause and buy out Brand's contract of more than 36 million for two years. Sun Ce felt that this team was going to make trouble! Just like when they had Iverson, they spent money like crazy to accumulate players to help Iverson reach the finals!

At that time, the 76ers traded the 27-year-old block king Ratliff, who was at his peak, for Mutombo, who claimed to be 35 years old, which shocked everyone.

That season, Ratliff's salary was 7.8 million, while Mutombo's was 14.4 million.

The 76ers wanted to reproduce the glory of the past. Sun Ce knew that the 76ers in his memory had to gather the most desired talents even through extreme means such as N years of rottenness. Later, they really succeeded and became a rare team that rose by rottenness like the Thunder.

The series between the Bulls and the 76ers was very exciting, with a high ratings, even higher than the ratings of the most anticipated Heat vs. Celtics.

However, it was expected that this series would be tense, and the two teams were not much different in strength in people's eyes.

But in the third game last night, people were shocked.

The Mavericks won 122 to 103, taking away the home advantage in the first game!

Facing Duncan, Nowitzki made 14 of 24 shots, including 1 of 3 three-pointers and 12 of 12 free throws, scoring 41 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.

Yao Ming scored 21 points and 9 rebounds steadily. The two penetrated the weak inside line of the Spurs and led the team to a big victory!

Nowitzki's crazy performance in the first round has not attracted much attention. Before the start of the second round, most people thought that the Lakers and the Spurs would meet again in the Western Conference Finals, and Kobe and Duncan would face off again.

And people are looking forward to Kobe and Duncan facing off again in the Western Conference Finals. Such a scene is really less and less.

But!

The Mavericks, who used to shrink every time they saw the Spurs, stood up this year!

Richard Jefferson, who was highly anticipated by the Spurs, defended Nowitzki alone, and was beaten by Nowitzki so hard that he couldn't take care of himself.

Only then did people realize that Nowitzki had broken his previous demon!

Moreover, the Mavericks directly gave up the idea of ​​making Nowitzki the core of the tactics. In the tactical play, Nowitzki was directly ranked after Kidd (Barea), Yao Ming (Chandler), and Jason Terry, making Nowitzki the fourth choice in the tactics, only higher than Marion (DeShawn Stevenson)!

When playing tactics, Nowitzki was responsible for running and containment. When there was an open position, he would pass it to him, and if there was no open position, he would not pass it. If the tactics could not be played, the first choice was Yao Ming or Jason Terry, and the third was his turn to play singles.

But at the critical moment, Nowitzki made every shot.

After watching the Mavericks' video clips, Sun Ce said that he would temporarily refuse to watch the Mavericks' games because it was too depressing.

He didn't know how long Nowitzki's god-like state could last. For example, some fans thought that Nowitzki might only explode in this round of series. The key is that he knew!

It's already very difficult to beat the Lakers now. The annoying thing is that even if you beat the Lakers, there's still a combination of the Silver Horn King + the Giant standing in the way...

The Lakers and the Spurs both lost badly after the start of the second round. In terms of public opinion, the Grizzlies and the Mavericks are not very good.

Both are considered "evil". People want to see the Spurs and the Lakers meet in the Western Conference Finals. The Spurs finally played a good game, so people certainly want to see the triangle offense VS the Spurs system.

The Grizzlies and the Mavericks actually want to make trouble!

When this argument came out, Sun Ce was very happy when he saw it. After all... they are sticks!

...

After the first rest day, on the second rest day, Sun Ce followed the team to the Toyota Center, the Lakers' training hall, to prepare for the game.

Every time he came to this stadium for training, Sun Ce felt envious.

The boss happened to be there, and Sun Ce asked: "Boss, why don't we build a training hall? I can invest in it."

Anyway, it's not a loss to rent it out. A stadium with about 5,000 seats can be rented to the University of Memphis. The school team of the University of Memphis has been complaining about the bad stadium for a long time. Moreover, Memphis is the former residence of Elvis Presley. Many singers are proud to hold concerts here. However, the FedEx Arena is too big for many niche singers. Whether it is a loss or not to rent it out is secondary. The empty stands look very disgusting.

"Why build a training hall? I just bought the FedEx Arena. If you think renting it out during normal times affects your training, we can just not rent it out during the season."

"... No, let's rent it. My family just built an indoor arena. Boss, you should make more money to pay me."

Sun Ce's "money-making plan" was strangled in the cradle by the boss's understated words, and he could only say firmly, "I also have a arena."

He remembered that due to his joining, not only the market value of the Grizzlies increased greatly, but also the stock price of Robert Pera's company rose a lot. During this year's All-Star Weekend, Robert Pera bought most of the shares of the arena from the Memphis City Hall, and became the big boss from a small shareholder of the arena.

Comparison is frustrating!

Sun Ce, with the sadness of the failure of his "money-making plan", devoted himself to preparing for the game with his teammates.

Yesterday, the Heat once again easily defeated the Celtics, who had no real big center. After the Grizzlies finished their preparations today, the Mavericks defeated the Spurs again with a score of 102 to 95 in the evening, leading 2-0 away from home and directly snatching two home-court advantages.

Kobe, Duncan, Garnett, the three most dazzling superstars in the first decade of the new century, fell behind 0-2.

People are sighing that time is unforgiving, and then the Grizzlies and Mavericks joined the Heat's "camp" together and became one of the fans' "least favorite teams".

However, Sun Ce felt a little excited to enter this camp.

No one wants to see them advance, and they all want to see Duncan, Kobe, and Garnett meet again, especially there is hope to see Duncan and Garnett meet in the finals...

Sun Ce wants to kill the Lakers more! I hope the big brother of the giant combination will kill the Spurs! James will kill Garnett!

The rebellious psychology is at work... However, Sun Ce's expectations were immediately sniped.

…

On May 9, the sixth match day of the second round, the third game of the Bulls-76ers series and the third game of the Grizzlies-Lakers series started one after another.

First, at 5:30 pm Los Angeles time, the 76ers held the first home court with a score of 85-79, retaining the home advantage they had previously grabbed and leading the Bulls 2-1.

Then, at 8 pm Los Angeles time and 11 am Beijing time, the Grizzlies challenged the Lakers away. The Grizzlies lost to the Lakers 91-104, and their six-game winning streak in the playoffs was ended!

The Lakers played very aggressively in this game.

Kobe scored 23 points and 8 assists, Gasol scored 20 points and 7 rebounds, Bynum scored 22 points and 14 rebounds, and Odom scored 21 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists.

The Lakers scored a total of 104 points, and these four people scored 86 points. The total score of all the other Lakers players was less than the individual score of any of the four stars.

The Grizzlies didn't show any signs of struggle in this game. The opponent was too tough. Sun Ce didn't even think of sacrificing his hairline to welcome James's possession during the halftime break. He only used Scott Skiles' star experience card.

Sun Ce was speechless. This famous player who ranked first in the regular season single-game assists list with 30 assists in a single game was only B+ level in the season when he got 30 assists. And it seems that he has just reached the peak strength of B+ level.

Fortunately, his speed is OK, and the point guard flexibility is not bad, so it didn't affect his ability evaluation. It was just used as a physical potion.

But Sun Ce's performance was not very good. In order to avoid falling behind 0-3 when the opponent returned to the home court, the referee also relaxed the scale of the whistle. In the melee, strength is king.

The four brothers of the Lakers... are all very strong! Randolph, the strongest player on the Grizzlies, met the team that restrained him the most. He fought hard and scored 22 points with 8 of 20 shots, but it was of no avail.

Sun Ce played for 41 minutes, 6 of 18 shots, 15 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks and 1 steal. He played well on the defensive end. Under his connection, the Grizzlies defended the Lakers except the four big stars very badly.

But the four big stars have already scored 86 points. It is really a real strength suppression. They rely on superstars to win tonight. Even Bynum played for 37 minutes, Kobe, Odom and Gasol played at least 43 minutes.

Facing the Lakers who tried their best not to fall into the crisis of 0-3, the Grizzlies lost and the score was tied by the Lakers to 1-2.

…

…

The third game was lost, but the Grizzlies did not suffer any blow. Instead, they became more calm and understood how powerful the opponent was.

But now the real pressure is coming, not just Sun Ce's pressure, but the pressure of the whole team!

They still have an advantage now. As long as they can win an away game, they will have a great psychological advantage when they return to their home court.

But this is extreme. Once they lose, they will be very afraid of losing when they return to their home court to play the decisive battle.

This situation of having both psychological advantage and pressure is very strange, but at least the current goal is very clear. The Grizzlies are ready to fight in the fourth game.

In fact, after the game, except for Sun Ce who played for more than 40 minutes, Randolph only played for 35 minutes. Facing the desperate Lakers, Coach Hollins saw that no one broke out, so of course he had to choose to avoid the sharp edge.

Gasol shot 8 of 14, Odom shot 7 of 15, Bynum shot 8 of 15, and even Kobe only shot 17 times. Obviously, they are determined to win this game desperately, and they are in such good shape. It is impossible for any team to beat them, unless someone can hit continuously like Nowitzki, such as Sun Ce in the first game of their series and Morrow in the second game.

In this game, the Lakers played their biggest cards. After Coach Hollins and his players returned to the hotel, he held a meeting with the coaching staff overnight and called Tony Allen, Gasol Jr., and Conley to share their thoughts.

On Sun Ce's side, after returning to the hotel, he began to check the photos and habits of James during his peak years in the Cavaliers on the Internet... The coaching staff felt that the fourth game was important, and he certainly knew the importance of this game, so he had to be prepared!
