Eight Hundred and Eighty-Eight. Crisis No. 1

"Steve, how do you feel about playing against the Suns?" Sun Ce asked Nash with the microphone on the court stage.

"The fans here are great. Noah, if you have a chance, you can come here and try again...for example, when you are 31 years old? Maybe you can win two consecutive MVP awards by then." Nash still did not forget his old club and gave him a joking way. The boss recruits Sun Ce.

"Oh, I don't want to come here." Sun Ce decisively refused.

"crooked?"

"The University of Phoenix has sent me 24 exam notices in the past two years. They actually waived my tuition. You know, I am a person who loves to take advantage. They waived my tuition and I sent them registration applications every year. Now It’s like they’re trying to get me to come back here to play ball, just like you said, wait until I’m 31 years old before I think about going to college.”

"Oh, Noah, you should come back soon. People, as you get older, your brain becomes less flexible. You won't be able to graduate from college, and you will be a high school student from now on..."

On January 27, the final game of six consecutive away games, the Grizzlies came to Phoenix to play Nash's old club and where Sun Cemeng started.

The Imperial TV station held a program - The Son of the Wind Returns Home.

Sun Ce didn't know who came up with such a retarded name for the show, but he was invited and he gladly accepted it.

After Nash was traded to the Grizzlies, the contract extension with Nike was not reached, and he signed a long-term endorsement contract with domestic Luyou sneakers. Although the contract stipulated that he could not wear unfamiliar shoes in the NBA, But he has become the spokesperson of a Chinese brand.

When listening to Nash talk about this brand, Sun Ce realized that he had never heard of it...

Nash returned to Phoenix to play, and everything was wonderful. There were programs on the Court Channel, live broadcasts from Time Warner in Arizona and Tennessee, live broadcasts on the Court Channel, and fans cheering...

Sun Ce also heard some fans calling him MVP, and they also held signs saying "Welcome home, Steve and Noah" at the scene.

And, he won!

103 to 92, the Grizzlies limited the Suns to only 59 points in the first three quarters, and obviously relaxed their defense in the final quarter. The Suns scored 33 points in the final quarter, narrowing the 20-point difference to 11 points, giving the opponent a face.

Sun Ce played for a relatively short time and took a break after the first half. He played a total of 19 minutes and scored 14 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks before resting.

Although Sun Ce has not shown fatigue, before this game in the new season, Sun Ce averaged 37 minutes per game, the highest on the team. Apart from Sun Ce, only Randolph on the Grizzlies averaged more than 30 minutes per game.

Especially this time for six consecutive away games, Sun Ce averaged 39 minutes per game in the first five games, mainly 47 minutes against the Warriors, which suddenly increased his average playing time.

It is said that the defense only started to let go in the fourth quarter, but in fact there was not much defense in the third quarter. The Suns only scored 33 points in the first half. Otherwise, it would be possible to lead by more than 30 points in the third quarter like they did against the Clippers.

Nash was used heavily tonight. Coach Hollins asked him to play 41 minutes, and he could really play 41 minutes...

13 points and 13 assists. I don’t know if it was intentional or a coincidence. Nash scored two 13s. The fans roared lively when Nash took a break with two minutes left, but Sun Ce saw these two 13s...

…

…

At 11 a.m. on January 28, Sun Ce returned to Memphis with the team.

When Sun Ce was about to land at the airport, he looked at the familiar Meng Cun and felt relieved.

6 consecutive away games, a record of 4 wins and 2 losses, which is not bad, mainly due to psychological pressure.

Although this six consecutive away games included a murderous 4 games in 5 days, if the winning rate was less than 50%, it would obviously be a failure. Fortunately, we won 4 games in the end, raising the record to 15 wins and 4 losses, maintaining a record of more than 10%. A winning rate of 75%, which is a winning rate that is expected to hit 50 wins.

And it did not allow the Spurs and Heat to take the lead. The Heat and Spurs have currently played 20 games.

With a record of 15 wins and 5 losses, the Grizzlies are still half a game ahead, and this is in the midst of such a tight schedule and a disappointing schedule of six consecutive away games.

During this time, Sun Ce has begun training on left-handed layups and mid-range shots.

Contrary to what he expected, when there was a game, he could only go to the gym early alone to practice 200 layups and 100 catch-and-shoot shots, which was very time-consuming.

It doesn't mean just holding the ball and throwing it towards the basket. If you want to aim for a shot, you have to adjust slowly.

When there is no game, I can only practice in the afternoon. I am on a plane in the morning of consecutive away games, and when there are back-to-back games, there is no rest day.

In the training at this time, Sun Ce would follow the training that had been arranged before. That is, after finishing the training with his right hand, he would practice mid-range shots with his left hand when he had the strength. If he had no strength, he would hold on and practice layups.

After 8 days, the progress was not as fast as Sun Ce had expected. He practiced left-handed shooting and layups a total of 1,050 times, which is one more set than Sun Ce had done more than 1,000 times.

Sun Ce was a little impatient at first, but gradually, Sun Ce calmed down. The more impatient he was, the harder it was to concentrate on training. Take your time, the season is still long, and there is plenty of time.

Developing techniques for the non-dominant hand, and suddenly having to practice the non-dominant hand after practicing with the dominant hand for more than two years is not a simple matter. In the beginning, I just had the mentality of giving it a try, but who knew that the left hand would slowly return? Really feel it.

Since it is better than the worst-case scenario, which is not having the talent for left-handed shooting, then take it slow and don't rush.

When driving his pickup truck out of the parking lot, Sun Ce happened to see tomorrow's opponent - the Bulls' team bus.

The difficulty of the 6-game away game lies in the schedule itself. The opponent is not difficult to deal with. The schedule is very unfriendly to them. Every team has a one-month or two-month schedule this season. They don't even have the qualifications to complain about the schedule this time. The lockout has nothing to do with the league, but the boss and employees. After the lockout, the players and their own team have become one again.

The next three games will be difficult.

Three consecutive home games, Bulls, Spurs, Nuggets.

The Bulls, ranked second in the East with 14 wins and 5 losses, and the Spurs, ranked second in the West with 15 wins and 5 losses, came one after another. On the Nuggets side, Lawson just won the Player of the Week and led the team to improve its record to 13 wins and 6 losses, surpassing the Thunder and Lakers to rank third in the West, and the Spurs and Nuggets are back-to-back across the month!

Watching the Bulls bus with a bright red bull head logo leave, Sun Ce took a deep breath, stepped on the accelerator, and went home.

In the next wave of consecutive home games, they must win all of them to ensure the first place in the West. If they beat the Spurs, they must win at least two games to ensure the first place in the West, and they cannot expect the Spurs to lose during this period. In terms of stability, the Spurs are more stable than their Grizzlies this season!

…

When he got home, Sun Ce drove into the gate. If the gate's automatic sensing system hadn't opened the door automatically, he almost didn't recognize it as his own yard.

The potted plants that my mother bought before she left were arranged, and some of them could be transplanted to the ground. Sun Ce was too lazy to do it all year. Although there were servants to clean up the weeds and take good care of the flowers, it was still a mess. At most, the neighbors would not call the police and fine him. Now it's done, and there are a lot more lavender.

The most important thing is...

"Dad, I'm sorry for you! The corn field you gave me was cut down by someone else!"

Sun Ce looked at the withered corns beside the garden in the yard and they were gone...

No need to think, it must not be caused by my chatterbox sister who never sits when she has nothing to do but lies down and never stands up when she sits, but by the new girl who said she wanted to redecorate the house!

Sun Ce parked the car and entered the living room...If there is any change, except that the curtains, tablecloths, etc. were changed to purple, and the paintings on the wall that were bought to fill the face were changed, there is basically no change.

Sun Ce didn't care and went back to the room. The room didn't change, but the bedding was all changed. The color didn't change to purple, which might be Lily Collins' favorite, or his previous color, but almost everything was changed.

There was a note on the bedside table, left by Lily Collins, saying that she had gone to a scenic spot in Memphis to shoot a spring clothing advertisement and would be back in the afternoon. She told Sun Ce not to go out with his teammates at night and to remember to pick up Zu Ge for dinner. She bought Kobe steak. Zu Ge had a good grade in the exam and wanted to celebrate. She also asked Sun Ce to take out the wine he had hidden.

The drunken night, half a bottle of red wine could not be poured out no matter how hard they tried. Lily Collins thought that Sun Ce had hidden three or four bottles of newly opened wine and deliberately poured out half of it, ready to get her drunk... This matter was consensual, and it was nothing. Lily Collins blamed Sun Ce for being wasteful, a bottle of wine like that cost more than 100,000 US dollars...

Sun Ce did not explain, but felt that the more than 10,000 US dollars that night was worth it. He had no idea that the so-called Conti was so expensive. He thought that the wine that Kobe treated him to was only 30,000 or 50,000 US dollars.

Sun Ce feels very comfortable at home now. With one more person, he doesn't feel uncomfortable, nor does he need to change anything deliberately. Instead, he feels a little warmer.

This feeling is similar to the feeling when Zu Ge first moved to his house. When Zu Ge came, Sun Ce felt that the house became lively. This is a chatty sister who can make the house lively.

When Lily Collins came, it felt like there was an extra hostess and some more rules, but it didn't make people feel uncomfortable because Lily Collins was very good at handling things.

After eating a little at noon, Sun Ce continued his shooting training in the afternoon. In the evening, Sun Ce was picked up. When he got home, Lily Collins had already returned and started to prepare dinner with the help of the servants...

At night, Sun Ce slept alone. There was a game tomorrow. Although Lily Collins didn't sleep with Zu Ge, she changed a guest room downstairs into her own room.

Before going to bed, Sun Ce thought about many things, and when he fell asleep, he had only one thought: "Oh no... I am being controlled... What should I do? This feels really good..."
