Eight Hundred and Sixty-Six. Do I, Old Sun, Look Like I Deserve a Beating?
The Grizzlies' games always have that familiar flavor.
The Grizzlies relied on a sudden change in their style of play to turn the highly anticipated last quarter's bombardment into a familiar iron-blooded defense.
The Spurs scored 28 points in the first quarter, 29 points in the second quarter, and 29 points in the third quarter. After the rhythm of the game stabilized, the scores in the first three quarters were extremely stable. The Grizzlies still relied on two running and gunning stages to score a lot, while the Spurs' scoring efficiency barely changed, just as stable as Duncan's efficiency in his career so far.
But in the last quarter, the Grizzlies killed the two teams' exciting offensive battle, and the score was 20 to 22 in a single quarter. Gay was almost broken, and he realized that it was like this to play with his old team...
Gay, who scored 24 points in the first three quarters, only scored 5 points in the last quarter and failed to score 30+ in his debut.
As for the Grizzlies, Sun Ce scored 27 points in the first three quarters, and 7 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks, and 1 steal in the last quarter. He played for 35 minutes in the whole game and scored 34 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks, and 2 steals.
From the perspective of Gay, who sat on the sidelines and watched Sun Ce's performance throughout last season's MVP season, Sun Ce theoretically did not explode tonight, and he didn't even change his jersey, but this guy's progress is too scary! He seized the mid-range defense loopholes of his new team and scored 20 points in 22 minutes of positional battles. He made 7 of 12 positional battles and single mid-range shots, which was simply amazing, especially the four high-post back-to-the-basket single turnaround jump shots on the right side of the three-second zone. He was confident and really had a great mid-range shot on the right side of the three-second zone.
When Sun Ce first joined the team, he was just a rookie with no other advantages except passing and a low-post change of direction throw. Now he can seize his advantages and score 34 points in a single game when he is in a hot hand... Gay feels that if he continues to develop like this, Sun Ce may surpass him in a year or two!
And Sun Ce still has more than ten days to go before he turns 22! Gay feels that he has to work hard. If Sun Ce really plays basketball for three years, he will be surpassed. As a top talent in people's eyes, Gay feels that it hurts his self-esteem.
Sun Ce's outstanding performance, coupled with Randolph who played 25 minutes and scored 20 points and 8 rebounds, Nash who played 27 minutes and scored 8 points and 11 assists, and Jordan who scored 17 points... The Grizzlies beat the Spurs at home with a score of 113 to 108 and got off to a good start!
…
After the game, after a series of post-match activities and interviews, at more than 12 o'clock, Sun Ce finally took Zu Ge who was already asleep in the lounge home.
After putting Zu Ge in her bed, turning on the air conditioner for her and wrapping her in a quilt, Sun Ce went back upstairs and took a bath to relieve the feeling of being besieged by the media.
After taking a bath,
Sun Ce returned to bed. He did not do the Nash training method today. Fortunately, the physical potion was useless. He did not need to worry about physical strength when playing back-to-back against the Trail Blazers.
He looked at the system prompt after the game.
"Christmas Eve Carnival (B):
Goal 1: In this year's Christmas game, the host must score more than any opponent's player in a single game. (The host scored 34 points, and the Spurs' highest scorer Rudy Gay scored 29 points, which has been completed)
Goal 2: In this year's Christmas game, the host must complete a dunk over the best background Tim Duncan. (Completed)
Goal 3: Win this year's Christmas game. (Completed)
Congratulations to the host for winning a B-level lottery card."
For this event, Sun Ce was not very confident about each goal, but he felt really good tonight. He scored 14 points in the mid-range shot alone, with a hit rate of 13 out of 22 shots, including 1 out of 3 three-pointers and 7 out of 9 free throws, scoring 34 points in a single game.
It was also because of the opponent's mid-range shots that really gave them a chance. The Spurs had good team defense, which was mainly reflected in the help defense at the basket and the switching of three-pointers. The mid-range shots really couldn't be made up when Duncan still had to play center.
A very beautiful start, Sun Ce happily accepted this lottery card.
It's a pity that there was no chance to hold a concert this year. The season started with the Christmas war, and there were a few days of rest before, but the preparation time before the season was so short. The NBA resumed operations on the evening of December 6, and the opening game started on December 25. Ten days of preparation was not enough. Sun Ce and others could only stop the concert for a year. Sun Ce also lost the opportunity to upgrade the lottery card using the exclusive event of "Xiong Ba Tian Xia Band Christmas Concert".
"Wild Bear: S-level event, the second stage event of the strongest system.
Event goal: In the four matches with the Spurs this season, the host needs to help the Grizzlies gain an advantage in the record. (1:0)
..."
For this stage event, Sun Ce took out his mobile phone to check the next game with the Spurs. The last away game next month is against the Spurs, and it is the last game of the five-game road trip. This is a bit fatal.
There will be a home game in February and another away game in April, both of which are the second games of back-to-back games.
In addition to the Spurs, Sun Ce also looked at it by the way. His team will also play against the Mavericks 4 times and the Thunder 4 times. Fortunately, there are only 3 games against the Lakers.
As for the Eastern Conference teams, Sun Ce looked at it and it seems that except for the Bulls, they only played once. As for the Bulls being so special on their Grizzlies side, Sun Ce thinks it is related to the match between him and Rose, which is established as a signature matchup in the NBA.
After reading the two system prompts, Sun Ce took a look at the upgrade event of the king of turn-over jumpers. He is currently averaging 4 hit turn-over jumpers per game, and he scored 4 in just one game.
A great start.
Before going to bed, Sun Ce took a look at the battle reports of each team tonight.
After the Knicks made a comeback to kill the Celtics and the Hawks massacred the Magic, the 76ers lost to the Thunder 95-103. The Thunder's three major perimeter stars performed well and did not lose to the 76ers' three major perimeter players. Sbrook's performance of 22 points, 8 rebounds and 14 assists was extremely good. Evans' 29 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists were not far behind. However, the super center Howard, who the 76ers have high hopes for, only scored 8 points against Perkins. 13 boards, the same as in the 2010 playoffs, couldn't hold up Perkins, which was very hurt for the 76ers.
In the game between the Lakers and Bulls that started at the same time as the Grizzlies, the Lakers lost 92 to 94 and were defeated by Rose with a three-pointer...
Rose shot 5 three-pointers in this game, and he just made one. In the last 4 seconds, the Lakers blocked the Bulls from allowing Rose to shoot. Rose really did not hesitate to hit all three-pointers in the first four times. The bet was made and it went in!
The Mavericks lost the opening game quite miserably, losing to the Heat 94-111. It was obvious that Yao Ming and Nowitzki had not yet entered the state. Yao Ming scored 12 points, Nowitzki scored 10 points, Conley and Jason -Terry played hard. The former scored 23 points and the latter scored 25 points, but they still couldn't make up the difference.
Sun Ce lamented that the shortened season is very unfriendly to veterans, and the preparation time is too short. He just thought of the three old men of the Spurs. Parker had 20 points and 12 assists in the opening game, Ginobili had 14 points, and Duncan had 15 points and 11 rebounds. 4 assists and 2 blocks...
There seems to be something weird...
…
…
I fell asleep at some point while surfing the Internet last night, but on the morning of Christmas Eve, Sun Ce still woke up at around 4 o'clock, yawned, got up and moved his body, and went out at 5 o'clock. , I ran out for an hour as usual in the cold wind, came back, took a shower, and finally woke up.
Over at Zu'e, Sun Ce probably won't be able to get up this morning. He must have a good sleep during the winter vacation. In the past period of time, there have been exams one after another. In the second year of junior high school, there are exams that are similar to the "High School Entrance Examination". If you want to If you go to a good private high school, even if you go to Lausanne High School's own high school, you have to take the exam well.
While waiting for the nutritionist to deliver breakfast, Sun Ce opened the system props section and opened the B-level lottery card page.
"Andre Blache Peak Star Experience Card", "Kobe Steak", "Special Card: Evil Comes with Evil".
The classic choice of three came. Sun Ce was very excited when he saw the words "Star Experience Card", but when he saw it clearly, he found that it was Brachi's Star Experience Card...
Sun Ce really wanted to stop thinking about it. He would wait and see again after refreshing tomorrow.
This guy's peak, Sun Ce thinks, was last season. He averaged 16.6 points per game with the Wizards. He was good in one-on-one situations and had good physical fitness. He averaged 16.6 points on 15 shots per game. After Sun Ce resumed operations in the NBA, I have seen the news about Blatche in the news. Like Nick Young, he wanted to earn tens of millions of dollars per year but was rejected. He signed a middle-class luxury version of the qualified quotation contract and planned to leave after playing the last year.
Nick Young's situation was even worse. The Wizards directly gave him a fully qualified offer of 3.7 million, and he had no offers from other teams, which was the most embarrassing thing.
Sun Ce felt that Nick Young really couldn't see the facts. He was confused by the nickname "Kobe Bryant's successor". He averaged 16 or 7 points per game on a bad team like the Wizards and wanted an annual salary of tens of millions. As a result, The long-term contract was not secured, and the three-year contract worth 8 million per year originally offered by the Wizards to Nick Young was also withdrawn.
Kobe beef...isn't it translated into English as Kobe beef? What are the benefits of eating Kobe meat? Is protein more nutritious?
The third award was a special card that Sun Ce had never seen before.
Putting aside his prejudice against brush players, Sun Ce feels that the Brac Star Experience Card is also a star experience card after all. It is also good to eat Kobe Bryant. If there is any special effect, he will make money. I don’t know what the new special card is. , but the number of times special cards are drawn is not high.
After putting aside his prejudices, Sun Ce found that the three random rewards this time were very good!
Sun Ce found that his luck was still good after Christmas.
As soon as I thought about it, the names of the three awards on the screen began to flash in turn...
Finally, it stopped at "Special Card: Evil Comes with Evil".
"I'm off to a good start!"
Sun Ce was shocked. He drew a special card for the first time in the new season! He still regrets not being able to eat the Kobe Bryant meat produced by the system.
Seeing the other two awards disappear and a detailed introduction of the rewards appearing on the system screen, Sun Ce immediately recovered from his distraction and hurried to see what this newly obtained special card could do.
"Evil comes with evil consequences (special card): It is automatically triggered when the host encounters a foul caused by an opponent's malicious action. The damage caused by the opponent's malicious action to the host will be reflected on the opponent in that action. "
Sun Ce read it two or three times before he understood what the effect meant.
After understanding this, Sun Ce's first reaction was - "Doesn't my old Sun look so arrogant?"
…
…
"Noah, why are you carrying this schoolbag again?"
"I love learning. Learning makes me happy. Don't disturb me reading."
"I bought this crappy book of yours online. It turned out to be your photo album. You are so narcissistic."
"..."
Looking at Randolph's disgusted look, Sun Ce wanted to vomit blood.
His schoolbag of the same style became popular. Fortunately, the trademarks of "Lord" and "Little Overlord" were registered in advance. The two trademarks "Lord" and "Little Overlord" have a new product in the world.
John said it was a technology company, but the products that seem to be profitable at present seem to be Sun Ce's peripherals. The "Quick Sound APP" that started internal testing on university campuses in the United States and China at the beginning of the year is still attracting investment. It is currently in the pure investment stage. The bulletproof schoolbag is selling particularly well in the United States...
However, what makes Sun Ce feel bad is that John's company also "published a book" for him. It is not new for him to often read those two "street literature". The publishing house editor found by the company does not care about the content of the book itself. It uses the same simple white cover and the same title. The content inside is Sun Ce's "biography" and photos of his life and competitions after coming to the United States.
Of course, the content is extremely beautified, even the photos from college have been specially photoshopped, Sun Ce himself can't stand it, and the sales are not bad. Sun Ce received more than 100,000 US dollars in royalties last year.
After breakfast this morning, Sun Ce came to the stadium. After the tactical meeting in the morning, the coaching staff asked the players to find a place to rest by themselves. They had to play back-to-back games in the evening, and there was no training arrangement.
So Sun Ce read "Pick and Roll Tactics" in the lounge, using Durant's backpack to enhance the effect, and then he was complained by Randolph who came in to play games...
Sun Ce felt tired, it's not like he wanted to publish such a "photo album".
After reading the book for a while, Sun Ce thought about what he had read recently about using off-ball pick and roll. Some things can be understood, but it's another matter to operate them. He needs to ask his questions when he trains under Stockton's guidance next time. There is a predecessor who may be unique in basketball history in this regard to ask, and it's a waste not to ask.
After the NBA resumed operations, Stockton was hired by the Grizzlies as a special consultant, responsible for the team's pick-and-roll guidance. The contract expires on June 30, with a weekly salary of 20,000 US dollars, and holidays. For example, now, during the Christmas holiday, he took his children back to Spokane, Washington to accompany his wife. He will not return until January 9th for the 15-day holiday.
With the Grizzlies' money and living in the house that Sun Ce pays rent, Stockton lives so freely.
After thinking for a while, Sun Ce went to have lunch and studied the opponent Trail Blazers tonight in the afternoon.
Judging from the performance in the preseason, the Trail Blazers have some big problems this season. Not only is the overall state not good, but their star player Roy has suffered from knee injuries. Although Roy did not force a comeback in the 2010 playoffs and his injury did not worsen at the time, both menisci are gone, and he does not have the strong physical talent of Wade. His body is still getting worse little by little. After a long offseason, he can continue to play and maintain a good body shape. Unlike Gerald Wallace and Batum, whose waist circumference is wider, Roy's state has a huge decline compared with last season.
After sighing for Huang Mamba, Sun Ce continued to study other members of the Trail Blazers.
The two people who seemed to be in good shape in the Trail Blazers preseason were the two people Sun Ce least expected.
Felton, who looked fat, did not make him fatter during the lockout! He seemed to have maintained his form after being traded to the Trail Blazers by Boss Joe.
The other one is Aldridge, who can play center in the Trail Blazers without getting injured. This guy is so tough.
Apart from these two, the Blazers' lineup with a salary of more than 80 million US dollars is not in good shape. Jamal Crawford, who just signed a mid-level bonus, has a round face.
…
At 6 pm, the Grizzlies started the second game of the home back-to-back against the Blazers.
The Grizzlies' games this season are very exciting.
The first three quarters of the game against the Spurs showed the fans a very different Grizzlies.
.T's four games in December against the Spurs, the Blazers, the Thunder, and the Mavericks were all live broadcasts.
The first three quarters of the game between the Grizzlies and the Spurs last night were really good. The running and gunning in the rotation phase, which fans thought was good, became even better, giving fans great expectations.
Although the Grizzlies played badly in the fourth quarter, fans felt that with Nash this season, at least the first three quarters would be good, right?
As for the fourth quarter... although it was eye-catching, you can just bear with it. We have been through it for the past two years. You will get used to it.
However, after the game, the score was fixed at 85 to 77. Relying on strong defense, the Grizzlies defeated the Trail Blazers by 8 points and won two consecutive victories!
The Grizzlies did not stop defending from the beginning to the end of this game. They fought hard from the beginning to the end, as if they didn't care about anything to win.
As for Nash...
He was rested! Nash was rested by coach Hollins in the second game of the season!
This operation... still won the game, Nash was a little tearful... It was so cool! At the age of 38, he finally tasted what it means to win by lying down!
Sun Ce played for 41 minutes. In the middle of the second quarter, he took a physical potion, made 7 of 18 shots, 5 of 7 free throws, and got 19 points, 16 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks. With the strong defense of the whole team, he won this defensive battle with difficulty.
Sun Ce didn't expect the game to be played like this. He overlooked a problem. The Blazers' offense was in a bad state, but their defense was still online. Last season, the Blazers lost only 95.5 points per game. This season, they are fatter and slower, relying on confrontation to make up for it!
Moreover, the Blazers are already strong, and this season they have added high-quality role players. They can rotate 12 players and fight against the Grizzlies physically throughout the game.
The game was played like this, and the fans at the scene were speechless. Sure enough, their own team is still their own team, and their team's core concept of winning has never changed...
