This has to be fought for! Sun Ce immediately called Carter's number... After a few minutes, he hung up the phone and sighed. This season, the Suns, who sent Nash away, used Carter as the core outside line for more than 20 games. At the beginning of the season, they could still use him to sell tickets, but after late January, the fans got tired of watching him lose all the time. No matter how much they wanted to watch Carter, they didn't want to watch him lose every day. But Carter played well, averaging 15.6 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in 29 minutes of playing time, and his shooting percentage was 41%, which was average, the average level of shooting guards, but his three-point performance was excellent, with a three-point shooting percentage of 39% and an average of 1.9 three-pointers per game. At this stage, the market is not good, and the Suns management thinks that it is not a good idea to keep Carter. Anyway, Carter's contract will expire after this season, so it is better to part ways amicably. Therefore, Carter, who will be 35 years old on January 26 this year, was pardoned, so that they feel that Carter, who is at the end of his career, can hug a thigh or something, without delaying others. However, after Sun Ce contacted Carter, although Carter wanted to compete for the championship together, he could accept playing as a substitute, but he wanted to play in a place where he could give him enough playing time, rather than letting him go up and shoot two shots to open up space when he was needed. Sun Ce couldn't meet this request. The team's playing time distribution was already very good. Their Grizzlies needed an outside player like Carter who was good at three-point shooting, but the premise was that he could accept unstable playing time like Klay Thompson, Neal, and Battier. After all, he, Nash, Tony Allen, and Paul George, the four outside players, must have stable playing time. The team just needs to strengthen, rather than interrupt the team's current progress in running-in and start all over again. However, after hanging up the phone, Sun Ce felt... Carter didn't want to win the championship, right? As for the current situation of this season, Sun Ce analyzed the teams that are expected to win the championship. Sun Ce is sure that Carter will not go to the Spurs. He will not go to the Heat either. As far as Sun Ce knows, Carter does not think highly of James. The Lakers are similar. Carter does not look down on Kobe, but he cannot bring himself to do so. However, these two teams are indeed teams that meet Carter's requirements and have enough playing time. The Heat and Lakers actually want to relieve the pressure on James and Kobe, and Carter is just the right fit. In addition, both teams are short of small forwards... The Heat are also short of small forwards, and James will defend the opposing power forward. The Thunder are not very suitable, and Carter's playing style does not match them; the 76ers, Bulls, and Mavericks are not short of players... Sun Ce found that if Carter wants to find a team that can give him enough playing time and his playing style is suitable, and he is willing to go, none of them is a championship team! "Carter is simply looking for a place where he can play freely? Maybe the Suns think too much and think he wants to leave, but in fact, he just wants to play with all his strength?" Don't say it, Sun Ce really likes Carter's mentality, and even respects him. However, he felt that he could not have the same mentality as Carter, just like respecting people with particularly high morals, but he could not do it if he was asked to do so. There was no other way. Sun Ce called Carter and wanted to recruit Carter. It was not because of the so-called "star sentiment", but simply because he felt that Carter could catch the ball and shoot, and could cut in, which was very suitable for the team. His occasional holding of the ball could also play an important role when Nash was resting. The trade of Vazquez might not necessarily bring back a suitable ball-holding player. It would most likely be a draft pick or a catcher and shooter. But Carter thought so, and Sun Ce could not force it. The team still had a mini middle class, and Vazquez could also be traded. It all depended on how the team operated. ... Sun Ce did not know until the afternoon that Chris Wallace, general manager of the Grizzlies, had also contacted Carter, and even asked Nash, who had played with Carter for a year, to ask for favors, but still failed. Carter just wanted enough playing time, and they could not reach an agreement. However, this did not affect the Grizzlies' team plan. Chris Wallace had the same idea as Sun Ce, that Carter was really suitable for them.

But they don't want to come, there's nothing we can do, just keep going according to the original plan. At 5pm, the game between the Grizzlies and the Timberwolves started, officially starting this wave of six consecutive home games. In this game, Randolph, the highest scorer of the Grizzlies, only scored 19 points. Love on the opposite side was targeted badly and only scored 13 points, but Love still had 22 rebounds. Because Love's offensive rebounds were fierce at the beginning, the Grizzlies' inside defense was fully blocked. Sun Ce scored 15 points and also had 24 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 blocks. However, Love couldn't grab offensive rebounds, so he focused on guarding defensive rebounds. In terms of grabbing rebounds, even Randolph couldn't compare with Randolph who is currently in his prime, so Randolph didn't have many secondary attacks. In this game, the Grizzlies still had a bad touch, but fortunately, they finally relied on overall defense, 85 to 80. After a defensive bloodbath, the Grizzlies defeated the Timberwolves by 5 points. After this game, Sun Ce felt that the Timberwolves were actually quite strong and had really good talent. Adelman's arrival gave the team some discipline, and they suddenly went from last in the Western Conference last season to tenth in the Western Conference. But the Timberwolves have been bad for too long and have become accustomed to being bad. Although Love has averaged 27 points and 13 rebounds per game so far thanks to the Princeton system, they have become accustomed to losing. After losing to the Grizzlies, the Timberwolves' record became 12 wins and 15 losses, tied with the Trail Blazers for tenth in the Western Conference. ... After defeating the Timberwolves, the Grizzlies had a day off, resting on the 10th and playing against the Pacers at home on the 11th. After Sun Ce got up in the morning, he practiced 300 left-handed layups and 100 left-handed mid-range shots on the indoor court in the backyard. The time it took to make 100 mid-range shots was about the same as 300 layups... It was okay to practice layups with the non-dominant hand, but practicing mid-range shots took much more time than when I was developing my right hand. But Sun Ce found that some of the feelings he had developed from practicing with his right hand, such as being accustomed to how much force to use at what distance from the basket, were also helpful for his left hand. He couldn't say how much help it could provide. After all, it was not easy for the left hand to exert the same force as the right hand, and it needed to be practiced slowly, so he shot very slowly. After practicing 400 left-handed shots, Tim Hardaway came to Sun Ce's house and taught Sun Ce to practice sideline three-pointers for the whole morning. Sun Ce did not practice in the afternoon, but watched the game videos of the next two opponents, the Pacers and the Jazz, mainly the Jazz. The Jazz had a strong defense and was named the "Little Grizzlies". Although the lineup and playing style were slightly different from the original time and space, the core structure did not change much. It was a team composed of a group of defensive players, scoring below average, and the defense was also good, which was disgusting. In the original time and space, when it came to the 2012 playoffs, many people still wanted to see the Spurs make fun of themselves again, and thought that the Jazz had a chance to win the eighth place. Although the Spurs easily swept the Jazz, at least from this point, it can be seen that the Jazz played very well in the regular season, and they were rebuilding according to the Grizzlies' team building ideas. Sun Ce studied the Jazz because they had lost to the Jazz once before. At present, the Grizzlies' shooting is very unstable. There are many benefits to resting, but there are also certain disadvantages in the middle of this season, that is, the feel is very uncertain, and because the schedule was very tight before, and the schedule is tight now, this uncertainty factor has become greater. Sometimes the pitcher takes a break and comes back to shoot very accurately, just like Nash made 11 consecutive shots, but sometimes he takes a day off and shoots well in the previous game, but then he takes a break and comes back to shoot as badly as possible. In addition, this extremely tight schedule brings the players psychological "slackness", and fatigue causes this emotion to expand further, which will also affect the players' performance. ...The six-game road trip is going on one by one. The Grizzlies won against the Jazz 91-69. This time it was the Jazz's turn to feel cold. Although the Grizzlies were also defended to only 91 points, the Grizzlies' defense was also good. They defended the Jazz, who were not very good at the first place, to only 69 points. The Grizzlies, who only scored 91 points, beat the Jazz by 22 points... The Pacers, who were not very good at it, beat the Grizzlies 113-105 in an upset, causing the Grizzlies to swallow their sixth loss of the season. Then, on the 15th and 16th, the Grizzlies welcomed the Rockets and Warriors back-to-back at home. Anthony's average points per game have surpassed Kobe, averaging 29.4 points per game, second only to Durant's average of 29.6 points per game. But no matter how good An Lubu is, he can't lead the team to win too many games. After losing to the Grizzlies, Anthony's team was surpassed by the Jazz and the Mavericks with 14 wins and 14 losses, falling to ninth in the West. 103 to 91, the Grizzlies easily defeated the Rockets. On the 16th, the Grizzlies ushered in the 30th game of the season, a game against Sun Ce's old club, the Warriors. Klay Thompson has played well in recent games. Sun Ce wanted to see the three-point showdown between Klay and Curry, but a bad news came at noon today. The Warriors also played back-to-back games, and they played back-to-back games. Yesterday was the second game of the Warriors' back-to-back games. In the game, Curry retired due to a sprained ankle. Curry has missed 10 of the first 29 games this season, all due to ankle injuries. The Warriors have gotten used to it and are trying to find a shooting coach for Curry to change his shooting jump habit. He puts too much pressure on his ankle when he jumps for shooting, and he is used to crossing his feet when landing. Sometimes he can't stand steadily, and sometimes he even steps on other people's feet. It's not even intentional by the opponent, but he touches the opponent's feet and falls. In addition, the schedule this season is too tight, and Curry's injuries are beginning to increase.

So the Warriors didn’t have much to worry about last night. This has happened many times this season. But the MRI results this morning came out. Curry is likely to be out for the season. His ankle ligaments are severely stretched and his soft tissues are severely bruised. The recovery period is expected to be 6-8 weeks, plus the recovery training time. Unless the Warriors make the playoffs, the season will be almost over when Curry returns. Sun Ce was shocked when he first saw the news of Curry’s injury. It came so suddenly. In the first two seasons, Curry’s attendance rate was exactly the same as his, Sun’s. It was extremely high. Although he knew that Curry’s physical condition had been very good later, from the 12-13 season to the 16-17 season, his attendance rate was higher than James, but he was still not sure whether Curry would be the same as in the original time and space, with only a fractured ankle tibia that could be healed later. Fortunately, the reporter followed up and reported that Curry's result was not particularly bad. It was not a structural injury, and it was not even a tibia fracture. In the original time and space, Curry was regarded as a glass man. Sun Ce estimated that it was related to his tibia fracture, because many people have broken or fractured tibia in their ankles. If they do not recover well, such as not listening to the doctor's advice and moving around after the pain is gone, bone spurs will grow, and there is a high probability that they will become lame later. After sending a text message to comfort his elementary school student brother, Sun Ce did not continue to care about this matter. He also had a game to play. He rested for a while at noon. At 5 pm, Sun Ce began to warm up with the team. They are currently 23 wins and 6 losses. They will win if they can against weak teams. After playing the Warriors, the next four opponents are the Nuggets, Thunder, Spurs, and 76ers... It's hard to say whether they can get 25 wins before the All-Star Weekend! Just when Sun Ce was concentrating on preparing for tonight's game, a message came... Jeremy Lin scored 36 points and 11 assists against Paul and led the team to defeat the Lakers. The Knicks won 5 consecutive games!
