Eight Hundred and Eighty-Six. How About You Use Your Left Hand?

Bynum's hairstyle...what on earth is that?

Sun Ce didn't pay much attention to the other teams in the East except the Heat, 76ers, and Bulls in the new season. Even for these three teams, he only paid attention to them occasionally.

The schedule this season is so tight. After playing 12 games, there is only one opportunity to rest for two days, and the rest of the time there is only one rest day. Paying attention to the direct opponents in the West has exhausted Sun Ce's energy to pay attention to basketball.

He knew that Bynum would quickly let himself go after Kobe was no longer suppressing him.

But this hairstyle is too much!

Yi Jianlian and Jordan's hairstyles can at least be called "beautiful", and Duncan's, although a little non-mainstream, can at least be called "wild".

Bynum's, he deserves a beating!

As for this hairstyle, if Bynum's head is split in half to see the craftsmanship, the barber's skills should be pretty good.

But putting these two halves of the head together, plus Bynum's usual arrogant look, it really deserves a beating!

Retracting his divergent thoughts, Sun Ce refocused his attention on the opponent's lineup.

The total salary of the Knicks this year is only over 57 million, and most of the contracts are one to two years. The two-year contracts are mostly team options, which can be abandoned at any time. The long-term contracts are all rookie contracts except for Stoudemire, who has a big contract with four years left in this season.

Sun Ce recalled the salary list of the Knicks that he saw yesterday. Only Stoudemire and Bynum had salaries exceeding 10 million. The highest salary of the rest was Baron Davis, who was signed by the Knicks for 2 years and 5.3 million US dollars after being amnestied by the Cavaliers. The salary was 2.58 million US dollars.

Iman Shumpert, Landry Fields, Toney Douglas, and Josh Harrelson have four rookie contracts. Bill Walker was renewed with a two-year minimum salary 1+1. Novak, who was cut by the Spurs, was also signed with a minimum salary. Veteran backup center Jared Jeffries has a two-year player option totaling 2.61 million...

Jeremy Lin's salary is also a minimum salary.

This team looks like a mercenary army, and Sun Ce has no impression of most of the players. Some of them seem to be the kind that will disappear from the NBA after two or three years.

But they played well. The Knicks, who have played 13 games so far, are ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference with 7 wins and 6 losses.

One advantage of such a team is that all the players with low salaries will play hard and want to make a future. The disadvantage is that these players have no trading value, and young players are unlikely to stay even if they play well.

After recalling the opponent's salary structure, Sun Ce looked at the ability evaluation of the opponent's players.

"Andrew Bynum, 24 years old, ability evaluation S-, offense S-, defense A+, rebound S, three-point F, mid-range shooting A, layup S... 32 minutes per game, 18.3 points, 10.7 rebounds, 1 assist, 2.7 blocks per game..."

At the age of 24, a clear talent blow, and after a serious injury at the age of 20, he can still improve to this level. In terms of efficiency, Sun Ce feels that the more athletic Bynum at the age of 20 is even higher.

It's just that this guy actually loves bungee jumping, skiing... and bowling.

"Amar'e Stoudemire, 29 years old, ability rating A+, three-pointer D+, mid-range shot A+, layup A+... 20.7 points, 8 rebounds, 2.3 assists per game..."

Stoudemire's decline is visible to the naked eye. Although he has not suffered any serious injuries since coming to New York, and the fracture of the metacarpal bone in his hand did not affect him too much, the old injuries during his time with the Suns began to affect him. It is foreseeable that he will collapse at the age of 30, and it will not be long.

"Jeremy Lin, 23 years old, ability rating B, offense A-, defense C-... 12.6 points and 7 assists per game..."

Jeremy Lin still has strength, this Sun Ce is very sure, except that he is a little fragile. If he continues to develop, he will have the strength of a starting point guard, and at least he will be a sixth man with 10+5 ability.

It's just that this fragility cannot be overcome by hard work.

Except for these three people,

most of the others are C-level players, and only Shumpert has B-level performance.

So despite the top-level combat power, the Knicks are not bad, but the role players are really the type that other teams don't want D'Antoni to pick up and use.

After analyzing the opponent from the perspective of ability evaluation, Sun Ce came to the court to shoot hot hands.

Nash had a happy chat with Stoudemire and D'Antoni before the game.

Nash told Sun Ce that in fact, in addition to him, Stoudemire also contacted him last summer, but if he wanted to leave the Suns, the only attraction was the championship. He was not optimistic about the Knicks using D'Antoni as the head coach, even if they got another superstar in the next two years, it would be useless, although he missed the years working with D'Antoni.

After the last preparation time before the game, at 5:58 in the evening, the referee signaled the starters of the two teams to appear.

On the Grizzlies side, Nash was put back on the bench. Today, there is a plan for the starting lineup of Sun Ce, Neil, Paul George, Randolph, and Gasol to appear.

On the Knicks side, the starting lineup of Jeremy Lin, Shumpert, Landry Fields, Stoudemire, and Bynum appeared.

Sun Ce was so sorry that Mr. Na was not starting today, otherwise he would have urged Mr. Na to jump ball with Bynum.

Looking at the starting lineup on the opposite side, if Sun didn't know the role of Jeremy Lin, most people who were not Knicks fans might not know the other three except Stoudemire and Bynum.

Sun Ce looked at Jeremy Lin, looking forward to it but also a little nervous. This guy hasn't started to explode yet. Could it be that the Grizzlies have exploded?

Facts have proved that the outbreak also depends on the opponent. Lin's initial outbreak started when he played against the Nets, a team in the bottom five. A team whose defense was so bad that Jeremy Lin had the confidence to dare to shoot like that. , Dare to spread it like that.

Facing the Grizzlies, Jeremy Lin played very nervously after the start of the game. He was okay when he hit Neal. After more than two minutes of play, the Grizzlies took advantage of Sun Ce's close range to cause a foul on Stoudemire, who was covering the defense. After replacing Teacher Tony, Jeremy Lin was stunned.

Jeremy Lin didn't have the chance to start explosive mode against the Grizzlies. In addition to the Grizzlies' strong defense and their starting style of play, the Knicks are mainly playing the stronger Bynum this season, rather than showing to the naked eye that he is past his peak period. Stoudemire.

Facing the encirclement and suppression of Gasol Jr. and Sun Ce, Bynum had a relatively bad start. He also lost teammates such as Odom, Gasol and Kobe. In terms of passing, Stoudemire and Odom, Gasol is far from enough.

Encountering the Grizzlies' fierce defense at the beginning, the Knicks started badly.

15 to 8, in six minutes, the Knicks only scored 8 points, and the Grizzlies entered the official timeout with a 7-point lead.

During this period, Sun Ce basically used pick-and-rolls to distribute the ball from the baseline, or gave the ball to Randolph for singles. The only other thing Sun Ce needed to do was series defense.

Coach Hollins replaced Nash, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, and DeAndre Jordan.

Sun Ce returned to the bench and sat down, recalling Coach Hollins' analysis when he arrived at the arena for the team meeting yesterday morning.

The Knicks really didn't play well in positional battles. Even though Bynum's statistics were so good and his efficiency was so high, he insisted on playing positional battles. When several strong players on the Knicks team got tired and rested, especially Bynum. If Nahm goes to rest and still plays positional warfare, the Hornets can play against them when they come.

But why do the Knicks insist on playing positional warfare for at least a third of every game?

Just to let Bynum play well and show others.

The Knicks have no hope that Stoudemire can maintain an average of 15+ points per game in the remaining three years of his contract. Thank God. They need to attract Bynum, a center with dominant play style and strength. Other stars join in.

However, when it comes to the final moment of the battle to hit the key ball, Bynum plays a great role. He has a huge deterrent effect when standing inside.

The next stage is for the Knicks to win.

The lineup of Jeremy Lin, Shumpert, Fields, Novak, and Stoudemire is on the field!

At this stage, Jeremy Lin and Stoudemire, who is still at a quasi-top level, led the team and played very well.

However, tonight they met Nash who once again had an excellent running and gunning lineup!

Klay Thompson's shooting feeling has been mediocre recently, and his shooting was not accurate when he came on the court today. But he is not only shooting. Since he can't make a shot, he will stick to Shumpert. Second-year Paul George today The performance is good, and the striker formed by the double emperor combination can rush and shoot.

The same is true for running and gunning. The Grizzlies have a bit of a talent-crushing feel. The perimeter combination of Shumpert, Fields, and Jeremy Lin is quite similar to the Grizzlies' combination of Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Nash. Similar, except that the Grizzlies are at least a small level better in terms of talent and strength. Nash even crushed Jeremy Lin. Except for Jeremy Lin's crazy stage, when Lin was playing his best, he was not as strong as Nash now.

Of course, the run-and-gun style of play depends on the feel, which does not mean that a strong lineup on paper will necessarily be strong.

But the Grizzlies had an advantage in the first quarter, and they were not afraid if they were ahead. Coach Hollins asked Nash to lead his teammates to wave. In the second quarter, coach Hollins also replaced Sun Ce, just to wave, to wave. Throw more.

When playing against a team like the Knicks, where Bynum can't even defend, Coach Hollins made the rotation to get his players to take more shots.

Nash was replaced in the second half of the second quarter, and Sun Ce continued to lead his teammates. At the beginning of the second half, Nash came on the court again and led his teammates for half a quarter. In the second half of the third quarter, Sun Ce and Nash came on the court together to initiate the final of onslaught.

After three quarters, the Grizzlies led the Knicks 91 to 78, leading the Knicks by 13 points entering the intersection.

The Knicks were not easy to deal with either. They delayed the Grizzlies from opening up the point difference early. It was not until the end of the third quarter that Sun Ce and Nash each scored a three-pointer, and the point difference was not widened. Double digits.

And this is also thanks to the 7-point lead at the beginning of the first quarter. Otherwise, if a team like this is running and playing, whichever side has the best touch can really hit a scoring climax.

Just like in the last two rounds, the Knicks missed three consecutive rounds. Randolph scored two points on the Grizzlies' side. Sun Ce and Nash hit three-pointers successively, making the score 5 points in one fell swoop. The difference reached 13 points.

In playing like this in the first three quarters, Coach Hollins was relying on the lead in the first half of the first quarter. If he had not had an advantage at that time, he would not have arranged for his players to play run-and-gun games from behind.

But now that we have an advantage, let Klay Thompson, Paul George, Battier, Neal and others shoot more. This is purely so that these pitchers can take advantage of the opponent's poor defense and practice more in actual combat, especially the two-way shooting. A first- and second-grade genius.

In the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies sent out a lineup of Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Paul George, Battier, and Gasol, and began to grind the defense to death.

This lineup requires a quick rotation of defense and a defender of the basket. Battier can still defend the current Stoudemire.

The sudden change in play style destroyed the Grizzlies' smooth offense in the first three quarters, but also blocked the Knicks' offense. The Knicks' offense seemed to hit a wall. From the first quarter After the first six minutes and the end of the third quarter, the Knicks, who scored 70 points in two and a half quarters, only scored 19 points in the final quarter!

The Grizzlies only scored 15 points in the final quarter.

However, the Grizzlies still defeated the Knicks 106-97 and won three consecutive victories!

The fans at the scene are already used to this kind of changing of styles. What a big deal. Just give Huo Tuzi some gifts when he comes to visit. As a carpenter, it shouldn't be a problem to carry a one-meter-long electric saw with you...

Sun Ce played for 36 minutes, scoring 24 points on 9 of 15 shots, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal. He made too many mistakes, 4 times, mainly because he played too much and passed two passes to Jordan, both of which were called pressure. Destroy the falling ball.

Jeremy Lin had 12 points and 11 assists. Sun Ce feels that if Jeremy Lin gets used to the NBA, he will soon be able to reach the quasi-first-class B+ level. Under D'Antoni, it will be too easy to play, and Jeremy Lin's style of play is very suitable for D'Antoni.

Sun Ce feels that if he had not come to the Grizzlies and developed a series of offensive and defensive styles, but stayed with the Warriors and been trained by Nelson, his growth rate would definitely be faster than Jeremy Lin, but the direction of his growth would be Maybe it's pretty much the same.

Sun Ce still had some regrets about not playing against Jeremy Lin, who was in a crazy state. He was ready to use the Bulls star experience card to gamble on his luck.

And Sun Ce wasn't sure if Crazy Lin would show up again. Originally, the Knicks were almost injured and couldn't muster 8 players to rotate, so he called Jeremy Lin back from the Development League and started a 7-game winning streak.

Now Jeremy Lin is guaranteed to be the starter from the beginning of the new season. It is not certain whether he will have a stunning explosion.

He really wants to compete with the strongest people, even if they are not strong enough now, he doesn't want to miss their peak moments.

The NBA is a bit similar to the legendary Jianghu. There are often regrets that you will be born before I am born, and I will be old after giving birth to you.

…

…

At seven o'clock the next morning after playing the Knicks, Sun Ce got up from his bed, propped up the quilt and looked at this attractive body... There were bite marks everywhere, so he decided not to bother again and got up and took a shower. , packed up things and prepared to go to the airport.

Dragging his suitcase downstairs, Sun Ce saw Zu Ge having breakfast. He went up and pinched Zu Ge's little face and asked, "Are you really not going to play an away game together?"

With his face pinched here and there, Zu'e pouted and said, "I want to drag Juanjuan to skip class together just after school starts! You know it's important to study at the beginning of school!"

After ravaging his talkative sister who had a small mouth but acted like a bastard, she praised her beauty and talked about everything to strange women. Sun Ce casually made breakfast and drove to the airport.

It would be so honorable to take a beautiful little sister out for a walk. Lily Collins won't go, and neither will the ancestral goose. Sun Ce can only set off alone...

…

New Orleans, the good place, just got a victory from the Hornets a few days ago, and now the Grizzlies' withdrawal journey begins again with the Hornets.

The Grizzlies' current record is 11 wins and 2 losses. This record makes the Grizzlies... mainly the guard combination of Sun Ce and Nash maintain extremely high popularity.

An 11-2 start to the lockout season is incredible!

The Grizzlies' incredible ability to abuse food is as good as that of St. Anthony's team that abuses food!

The Spurs have played very interestingly this season. Except for the Lakers and Heat, they have lost all four games they played against recognized top teams. However, they have won seven games against non-playoff-level teams. Currently 9 wins and 4 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference, once again overtaking the Thunder.

If it were a normal season, there would be nothing wrong with the two teams being able to maintain such an ability to abuse their food. However, with such a tight schedule, even the Thunder and Heat lost to the Nets successively. Even if they play consecutive home games, the other teams Even strong teams cannot guarantee a guaranteed win.

But the Grizzlies and Spurs did it.

The Spurs relied on 7 brutal games to sit second in the Western Conference and tied for second in the league. The Bulls and Heat fought hard and had the same record as the Spurs.

Rose fans and James fans feel unreasonable!

For this reason, the Grizzlies' six consecutive visits have been nicknamed the "withdrawal trip" by the media. Faced with the Grizzlies' powerful ability to abuse food, the media predicts that even if there are four games in five days, the Grizzlies will still be defeated. At least 4 wins are possible, and there is a high probability of 5 wins.

After Sun Ce and his teammates arrived at the hotel in New Orleans, they had lunch and Sun Ce read the new issue of the Week.

Sun Ce won the Best of the Week in the first two weeks, but failed to win three consecutive Best of the Week, and the Western Conference Best of the Week in the third week... Tim Duncan, the Spurs star who won 4 consecutive games last week, became this player's best player. The second player in the Western Conference to win the Player of the Week this season.

Duncan has averaged 31 minutes per game in the past 4 games, averaging 17 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.5 steals per game.

He looked at Duncan's statistics so far this season. He averaged 27 minutes per game, 14.7 points, 9 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.7 blocks, and 0.7 steals...

This time even Sun Ce felt it was unreasonable!

That is, his playing time was a little less. If converted into 32 minutes of data, he would be at the All-Star level. The only thing that could stop Duncan from entering the All-Star or All-NBA team was physical strength.

But thinking of the special ability he had obtained... Sun Ce was a little excited. Will someone complain about him in the future?

After resting in the room for a while, Sun Ce received a text message from Stockton. He came to the hotel parking lot and met with Stockton and Tim Hardaway and went to the New Orleans Arena. His teammates did not train this afternoon, but Sun Ce had an appointment to train.

…

After three hours of shooting training, Sun Ce was quite satisfied. If you practice like this every day, there will always be improvement. Even if there is no improvement in a short period of time, the improvement in the future will not be a sudden improvement, but a muscle memory accumulated over time.

However, Sun Ce saw Stockton frowning.

"John, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Sun Ce asked with concern.

Stockton shook his head: "No, I'm worried about your training."

"I train? Is there something wrong?" Sun Ce was a little surprised.

"No, you train very well, very seriously, and work very hard, but your left-side shooting...improvement is too slow, and the benefits are not proportional to the time you invest."

"I can't help it, the left side is not as good as the right side." Sun Ce was also helpless, "but you still have to practice, there will always be progress if you practice, if you don't practice, it will always be the same, and it may regress after a long time."

"This idea is right, but you obviously practiced so well on the right side shooting. If the speed of improvement is very different between mid-range shooting and three-point shooting, I can understand it, but your three-point shooting speed is not slow, even the three-point shooting from the left sideline is not slow, but your mid-range shooting has a good basic skill, and the left side is improving so slowly..."

Stockton has been thinking about this problem since he came back from the Christmas holiday.

Sun Ce has no good solution for this, otherwise he should have scored earlier.

It should not be a problem of touch, but the shooting is not so good on the left side of the three-second zone. On the contrary, at the fixed angle of the baseline, the left mid-range shooting speed is not bad.

Stockton was silent for a while, and suddenly he had an idea and made a suggestion that he himself found incredible: "Noah, why don't you try to practice shooting with your left hand?"

"Watt?" Sun Ce felt that he had heard it wrong. Practice shooting with your left hand?

How bold and productive this man is. Sun Ce also wanted to try it, but after calming down, he felt that it was too unreliable!

Although there is a case where the left-handed James plays mainly with his right hand, James' shooting is very touching!

However, Sun Ce also remembered that Mike Reed changed to practice shooting with his left hand in college...

Sun Ce asked weakly: "Do you want to practice shooting with your left hand?"

"Practice?" Stockton was not very sure, and suddenly had such an idea. He analyzed: "You can make steady progress in the left sideline three-pointer because the sideline three-pointer is very fixed, and the mid-range shot needs to be shot whenever there is an opportunity, and the angle is not easy to grasp. Maybe you are used to shooting with your right hand on the right side of the three-second zone, just like you have developed a technique that ordinary players cannot play well in the right high post. Even Kobe and Jordan can't practice this position as well as the left high post, but if you practice it wrong, it's a waste of time..."

Stockton thought about it and decided to forget it...

The topic ended like this, but Sun Ce was still thinking about "developing left-handed shooting" on his way back to the hotel.

In the case of such slow progress in shooting with the right hand and shooting with the left hand, practicing with the left hand may be a good way out for Sun Ce!

It's just...my playing style is already weird enough. Thinking of myself shooting with my right hand on the right side and shooting with my left hand on the left side...I, Sun, can't bear to look at it!
