Eight Hundred and Sixty-Eight. The Four Strongest Young Men!

Sun Ce had already had the incident with Durant last season. He got Durant's backpack but didn't get Durant's star experience card. I didn't expect it to continue this season.

Overall, the incident was okay. It was just a matter of winning or losing. The whole team had to fight.

But Sun Ce was going to vomit blood for the incident related to Ibaka.

"I am the block king (A-level season event):

Goal 1: In the games against Serge Ibaka this season, the host's total number of blocks must be higher than Serge Ibaka.

Goal 2: The host's total number of blocks and average blocks per game this season must be higher than Serge Ibaka.

Goal 3: Defend the block king.

Event reward: A random player star experience card of the NBA's historical block king.

Failure penalty: Randomly deduct one equipment card, prop card, and star experience card related to blocks owned by the host."

"Ge Laozi..."

Sun Ce remembered that Ibaka won the block king for two consecutive years in the 11-12 and 12-13 seasons. In fact, he also had the highest average blocks per game in the 13-14 season, but because the data king had a game requirement, he failed to get it, but Ibaka was the first defense in these three years!

Moreover, Ibaka will become the third youngest blocker in NBA history to get 1,000 blocks in the future. The first place is Josh Smith and the second place is Howard. Before the serious injury, Ibaka's blocks refreshed the single-season average block record since the new century...

"Eh? Did I refresh it last season? Damn! Then this guy is coming for me?"

Sun Ce cried in his heart, who did he offend?

Although it was still very good to get the block king award last season, and it is hard to say that winning the MVP has nothing to do with the block king, and the second defense may also have a lot to do with this block king.

But now he has to compete with this genuine power forward and tough Congolese tough guy for the block king...

Howard can't block this guy! This guy is a tough guy who can really refresh the block king of the new century with his personal ability!

...

After entering the court, the players of the two teams did not communicate much.

The competition between the Grizzlies and the Thunder for the strongest young team in the West has gradually entered a white-hot stage.

It doesn't mean that people will be more optimistic about the Grizzlies just because the Grizzlies made it to the Western Conference Finals last season, because the Thunder have too much talent!

MVP favorite Durant, another Westbrook who was crowned "most like him" by Kobe, new generation help defense expert Ibaka, Harden whose talent is visible to the whole world except for the Thunder management, and Perkins who is very suitable for Ibaka's help defense-based front gate.

There are also five role players, Sefolosha, Perkins, Daequan Cook, Muhammad, and Eric Maynor. The 9-man rotation lineup is very good, plus the rookie Reggie Jackson they selected is extremely talented. He was nicknamed "Little Westbrook" in the preseason. Although he didn't get a chance to play in the opening game, it was purely because Westbrook was too strong and played the whole game.

The relationship between the Grizzlies and the Thunder in the eyes of the media and fans is like the relationship between the 76ers and the Bulls in the East.

The players of both teams didn't think about it at first, but the public opinion will definitely affect them. If nothing else, they have to fight for face.

Originally, everyone was not very familiar with each other. Sun Ce had a good relationship with Harden on the Thunder team. Westbrook was really like Kobe. In a summer, apart from promotional activities, there was almost no news about him. It felt like he was isolating his inner world from others.

Originally, they were not familiar with each other. Under the promotion of the media, the two teams naturally stood on opposite sides.

After the players of both teams entered the field, there was a performance by the cheerleaders.

Sun Ce looked at Harden's ability evaluation, who was staring at the thighs and buttocks of the cheerleaders and almost drooling.

"James Harden, 22 years old, 196 cm tall, 98 kg in weight, ability rating B+, offense A, defense C+, three-pointer B+, mid-range shot B+, layup A, speed A, strength S-, endurance A-..."

This physical fitness... Sun Ce looks really good, his burst speed and explosive power are not at the top level, but they are also first-class, and his strength and confrontation are similar to those of inside players, and his speed is Sun Ce's impression. Although it is A level, it is definitely the best among A level.

And Harden's ability rating has reached B+ level in the third year, and he can definitely start.

This progress... Sun Ce doesn't think that the progress of having B+ level strength in the third year is how fast, but he can still have such a speed of progress when the Thunder team doesn't value him so much, which is simply amazing, this is a real inspirational man!

Although Kobe was also a substitute in the first two seasons, the team focused on training him, and the playoff buzzer-beater was given to Kobe, and Harden really played out when the team didn't give him a chance or even disliked using the third pick to select a guard!

It's just that Harden's B+ mid-range shooting rating... Sun Ce feels like he recognized the wrong person...

Besides, with Westbrook and Durant, Harden can shoot more easily. When he plays with these two, he will definitely not be the opponent's main defender. So Harden may be able to play a very good hit rate and efficiency this season, unlike the Rockets period when he only had one or two hit rates over 45% in seven or eight years.

"Kevin Durant, 23 years old, ability rating S, offense S+, defense A-, three-pointer S-, mid-range shooting S, layup S+, speed A, strength A+, endurance A..."

Progress again! Mid-range shots and layups have improved again, but they are different from Sun Ce's impression as a fan. Durant is not a big shooter in the traditional sense. He actually doesn't take many three-pointers. Less than half of Curry in his future peak, much less than Klay Thompson and Ray Allen. His number of hits is similar to that of Reggie Miller in the 1990s, and in terms of three-point shooting percentage alone, Durant is not on the same level as these people, they are quite different.

Durant is a player with a very balanced shooting ability from outside the three-point line, inside the three-point line, from mid-range and at the basket. Whether it is a pull-up jump shot, a pull-up jump shot, a pick-and-roll shot, or a catch-and-shoot shot, there is almost no blind spot!

Moreover, Durant's ball-handling ability has improved qualitatively this season. He has improved from C+ level ball control last season to B-level first-class level. He is no longer as easy to make mistakes when holding the ball inside as before. Of course, Sun Ce can It is speculated that Durant's pull-up jump shot errors will also decrease.

"Russell Westbrook, 23 years old, ability evaluation A+, offense A, defense A, three-point B-, mid-range shot B+, layup S, rebound A+, passing A+, speed S-, strength A+... "

Westbrook's ability evaluation is still very strange, his shooting is strange, and other aspects are also strange, but his physical fitness is good.

This is an unpredictable opponent.

The key to this rebounding and passing is that he is a master of sticking the ball. He almost got a triple-double in the first game of the new season. Sun Ce feels that it will not be easy for him to get his card this season.

"Serge Ibaka, 22 years old, ability evaluation B+, offense C+, defense S..."

Ibaka is a pure blue-collar player. His only mid-range shot has an A-level offensive rating, and he is a pure catch-and-shoot shooter. His ability to eat at the basket is also average, but there is definitely a lot of room for improvement. Sun Ce remembers Ibaka’s future. He is also a player who averages 15 points per game. He does not have such a low offensive rating now. He cannot achieve such a high scoring average just by relying on catching and shooting and unreliable pie-eating ability. He can do two games in one game or ten games. Eight games is possible, but one season is impossible.

If the Thunder keep all these four talents, Sun Ce feels that the future of the NBA will be dark. But if these four people are left, plus a bunch of middle-class contracts they signed with rookie bonuses in recent years, their salary is estimated to be Going to surpass the Mavericks who will spend 97 million this season.

There are also B-level Sefrosa and Perkins, and C+-level Muhammad, Maynor, and Cook.

After Sun Ce looked at the opponent's ability evaluation, he felt that, let alone the future, the Thunder would be difficult to deal with this season.

…

After the pre-game preparation time, Sun Ce took the court with Nash, Paul George, Randolph, and Gasol.

This year's more complete lineup than last season is what Sun Ce relies on to have the confidence to complete the matter.

It’s just that the opponent’s lineup is also very strong. After reaching the center circle, Sun Ce quickly took a look at his prop space. There were only three cards, one of Bynum’s. You can ignore this game because you don’t get too much. Not to mention the bonus, it also messed up the original style of play in which he and his teammates could work well together.

The rest are star experience cards for players who made at least 8 three-pointers in a single game in the playoffs, and peak star experience cards for random players in the 2011 All-Star Rookie Game...

Give it a try first and then talk! There are no physical potions to use tonight. If it is a game where you have to play hard, then you have to make reasonable use of the star experience card to restore physical strength. His physical strength is not that much better than Durant. Those two Cards may not necessarily randomly select players with good physical strength, so all aspects must be considered.

This is a team that can reach the finals!

Sun Ce looked at Ibaka who was walking to the center circle and felt that next time he played the Thunder, why not let Nash try to jump the ball? Teacher Na must have never stood in this position and jumped over the ball in his life, right?

Just when Nash felt a chill coming from his vest, and felt that some unscrupulous person was secretly trying to do bad things to him, the referee came to the center circle with the ball, and Nash quickly concentrated on getting ready to defend.

On the Thunder side, the starting lineup is still Westbrook, Sefolosha, Durant, Ibaka, and Perkins.

At 5 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air...

Sun Ce struggled to jump the ball and lost. After landing, he turned around and ran back to his own three-point line with the skill of accelerating and changing directions while traveling. He stood one step outside the free throw line and one meter away from the three-point line, waiting for Westbrook to advance.

After arriving in the frontcourt and seeing Sun Ce's defensive position, Westbrook did not get angry and was used to it.

And he has given up competing with Sun Ce this season. The Thunder know their advantage - youth. In this season where the schedule makes veterans vomit blood, this is their opportunity. In the first game, he had a triple-double and won the rebounds. More than a dozen, not because he insists on it, but because the Thunder are not good at rebounding. Inside are Perkins and Ibaka, both of whom are not very good at rebounding. He is the only one with Westbrook and Durant. The two have the ability to average 8+ rebounds per game, so he has to grab them.

After Durant slipped inside and ran out, Westbrook accelerated in a straight line and broke through!

It was so fierce! Westbrook was far behind Harden in static strength, but in speed, explosive acceleration, and explosive confrontation, Westbrook was far stronger than Harden. Sun Ce relied on his A+ level explosive confrontation and immediately pushed Westbrook the moment Westbrook reached the left side of his body, trying to use his slightly heavier weight and quasi-top level explosive confrontation to block the opponent.

But... Westbrook was only stopped for a while, and Sun Ce was knocked back a step!

Westbrook quickly slapped the ball to his left hand and then quickly slapped it to the right. While Sun Ce was knocked back, he took a small step to the right and rushed into the inside again!

It was impossible to stop it!

Westbrook rushed into the inside and made a layup to score two points. This arrogant straight line breakthrough was too powerful. When Gasol took it back, he had already jumped. Gasol's rebound speed could not stop it at all.

Looking at Westbrook's hand shape when shooting, it was hard, and the ball he threw was also hard, but Westbrook's breakthrough in front was too easy. When he layup, his hand was over the basket, which was no different from a layup.

Attack and defense change, the Grizzlies attack, Sun Ce receives the serve and advances to the front court to pass it to Nash, then goes to the mid-range. Sun Ce meets Durant as the defender, so he temporarily pulls away and lets Randolph ravage Ibaka.

Randolph receives Nash's pass in the low post and plays a single. Although Ibaka has gained weight to 110 kg, he is far behind Randolph in both weight and explosiveness. Perkins is ready, and when Randolph turns left and walks to the middle, he shrinks in time. Randolph is also ready, and he deliberately walks to the middle and passes the ball to Gasol. Durant immediately lets go of Sun Ce to defend Gasol. Gasol did not rest in the back-to-back games at the beginning, and Randolph rested in the second game. Gasol made three mid-range shots in the first two games, and he has obviously found the feeling of mid-range shots in the first two years of his career.

After Gasol received the ball, he immediately passed it to the right sideline of the three-second zone. Sun Ce cut in immediately when Durant went to make up for the defense, and just received the ball and stepped into the right side of the three-second zone.

After a fake shot, Ibaka, who was passed by Randolph, immediately rushed over. Sun Ce patted the ball, stepped out to the right front, slipped to the baseline to avoid Ibaka, and went to the left side of the three-second zone. He jumped quickly and turned around to slam the ball into the basket with one hand.

Perkins didn't have time to react to this ball. Gasol's high-post coordination was too good. He watched Sun Ce quickly slam the ball into the basket.

Moreover, Sun Ce relied on the bounce speed bonus effect of "Bawang Dunk Level 1" to increase to S-level bounce speed. Perkins recalled that he was ravaged by Stoudemire, who played as a center, in his rookie year...

Fast bounce speed, decisive and confident dunks.

With the old and strong Nash and Paul George, who impressed other players with his outstanding performance in the playoffs in his rookie year, the Grizzlies' starting lineup offense is indeed much better than when Conley and Battier were there last season. Moreover, Nash and his starting partner really don't want the ball, unlike Conley who has to hold the ball more or less. In addition, Sun Ce also further gave up the ball, and Gasol's high-post coordination ability was maximized.

In terms of athletic ability, technology, scoring methods, defensive flexibility... Gasol is not as good as his brother in all aspects, but as a high-post coordination, he may be better than his brother, at least judging by the number of assists.

However, the defense of this Grizzlies lineup is not as good as the starting lineup last season. Paul George's defensive effect alone is still a gap compared to Battier last season. Compared with Battier in a period of sufficient physical strength, Paul George's defensive ability is originally worse, and the gap in experience is more critical. He was abused by Durant.

With the experience of being targeted by the Grizzlies last year, Durant reduced his single jump shots with the ball this time against the Grizzlies, and spent most of the time running with Paul George to reduce confrontation and avoid being consumed. Just like Paul George running on the right sideline to contain space for Sun Ce and Randolph, Durant also tried to stay away from Westbrook on the weak side and maintain the threat of shooting.

But when Westbrook broke through and was double-teamed by Gasol in advance, and Perkins did not have a good sense of receiving the ball, Durant relied on his weight and strength to suppress Paul George to take the blame and single-handedly, and it was almost certain to beat Paul George!

During the opening period of the game, the two teams basically took charge of the offense with the two players with the strongest scoring ability in their respective teams.

At this time, Sun Ce's and Ibaka's defensive abilities were not very useful. The opponent played simply, so the defense was naturally simple one-on-one. Only the inside line could double-team, and the outside double-team was definitely a big gap. Westbrook of the Thunder could cut in, Sefrosa could shoot, and Nash and Paul George of the Grizzlies could shoot. Both teams could only focus on the outside.

But during the period of star confrontation, the Grizzlies fell into a disadvantage!

No matter how good Randolph scored, he could not compare with Durant, and Durant was still very energetic at the beginning of the game.

On Sun Ce's side, he mainly relied on Gasol to assist in scoring. When Durant defended the back-to-back, Sun Ce could only choose to cut in more, and the high-post back-to-back could not be used!

Halfway through the first quarter, the Grizzlies were 13 to 17, 4 points behind the Thunder. Coach Hollins called a timeout after Durant once again hit a mid-range shot against Paul George's defense!

Sun Ce scored 5 points and 2 rebounds in half a quarter, Randolph also scored 5 points, and with a three-pointer from Nash, the score difference was barely prevented from widening to 5 points.

Back on the bench, Sun Ce looked at Durant who scored 7 points, Westbrook who scored 6 points, and Ibaka who scored 4 points after receiving the ball.

Sun Ce felt that the core trio of Durant, Westbrook, and Ibaka was really strong!

Looking at Harden on the opposite side smilingly taking off his training clothes and preparing to go on the court.

The four youngsters + Perkins, the opponent is going to send out the strongest lineup!

No! The prediction of the opponent's improvement speed in the first match of the new season was too low! I was not prepared for the other two of the four youngsters to improve so much!

Sun Ce looked at the two gambling-like star experience cards, and he must use one today!
