More rest time does not actually help the stars that much, but it helps the role players even more!

Players who can be called stars are at least starters or sixth men. The increased rest time will actually have the least effect on them. They are already used to high playing time and a tight schedule.

Those high-quality role players will benefit the most. Some of them may not be able to maintain high efficiency for a long time because of insufficient physical strength. This is because there are one to two fewer games per month, fewer back-to-backs or fewer consecutive games.

The efficiency is greatly improved by having one battle every other day.

With more rest time, high-quality role players have fewer injuries, their efficiency has improved, they are playing better, and their statistics have become better.

On the contrary, it is the stars, because the role players are playing better and their playing time is reduced.

Even because the role players are playing better, the pressure on the stars has increased and injuries have increased.

This season has only been played for less than two months, and the number of star injuries has already exceeded the number of star injuries from last season to the middle of the season!

Durant missed 3 games due to injury, Leonard missed 6 games due to injury, James missed two games due to injury, Parker missed 4 games due to injury, Gay missed two games due to injury, Evans missed two games due to injury, and James missed two games due to injury.

Nings missed 5 games due to injury, Matthews missed 4 games due to injury, Love missed 3 games due to injury, Irving missed 4 games due to injury, Deron missed 9 games due to injury...

Due to the high number of injuries, teams have begun to take more breaks for their stars. Kobe took two off days, both back-to-back, Duncan took two off days, both back-to-back, Randolph took five off days, and Sun Ce was off because his wife gave birth to a child.

Missed two games...

Changes in the schedule, changes in the rhythm of entering the new season, reduction in the number of preseason games, and other factors have aggravated this situation.

In order to prevent stars from suffering more injuries, teams have various reasons for asking for leave for their stars.

Because of this situation, many high-quality role players have seen a potential surge in value!

When Sun Ce saw the relevant news, he found that it was very similar to the situation after the 17-18 season schedule was changed and the season started early in the original time and space.

However, the difference is that since David Stern is more conservative in changing the rules and is not as messy as Adam Silva, this rule is simply to increase the viewing pleasure of the offense, rather than changing the rules.

Players have to be afraid to fight, which leads to the style of play becoming too simple, which in turn leads to the fact that new stars who join the NBA only need simple three-point shooting and layups. In the end, the league has no choice but to praise some stars.

Now Sun Ce feels that the league's games are quite enjoyable to watch. As the season progresses, the strong defensive teams have made changes according to the new rules and have new defensive routines.

The league's development trend toward outsiders is inevitable. The physical fitness and ability of ordinary players to master certain skills have improved a lot compared to ten or twenty years ago. Role players are getting better and better, and big men are getting better and better at shooting.

…

The defense formulated under the new rules has also resulted in some stars having to take on more defensive switching tasks, leading to an increase in injuries.

Generally speaking, these situations are conducive to the teamwork of each team, but the enjoyment of the game has indeed been improved as a result.

As for whether the star technology will inevitably become unified in the future, Sun Ce is not sure and doesn't care.

In the original time and space, even in an era when star skills were simplified, those true superstars were still stars with comprehensive and solid basic skills, stars who could score in more difficult and complex situations.

…

The morning after the game against the Nuggets, Sun Ce returned to Memphis with his teammates.

As soon as he got home, he received a call from Bill Duffy, saying that Disney had already shot most of the scenes for Avengers 2 and asked him to shoot an Easter egg next time he went to Los Angeles.

Sun Ce has the impression that this easter egg is that Thanos has obtained the Infinity Gauntlet and is preparing to snatch the Infinity Stones himself. The next time Thanos appears, he will already be the character with the most scenes in Avengers 3. Although he is not the male protagonist, because of the Avengers staff

There are too many and the shots are scattered, making Thanos look more like the protagonist.

Sun Ce also received a piece of news that he had not noticed before. After the filming of Avengers 2 was completed, the directors of Avengers 1 and 2 stated that they would not continue to make follow-up movies. The 51-year-old Joss Whedon was due to work with Disney.

There were disagreements with each other. After filming Avengers 2 and completing the contract, he jumped to Time Warner, which meant he was going to make DC movies.

The image of Thanos, played by his grandson, will be restructured. The purple skin that looked extremely evil at first glance will be replaced by a light khaki skin full of vicissitudes of life. The image will also be relatively soft, not the pure evil before, but

It is more in line with the image of a character who is determined to "save the universe".

This actually gives Sun Ce something to relieve his mental stress in the tense early stages of the season. He has won 18 consecutive games. One more win will break the longest winning streak in team history.

Is it possible to continue winning?

Who can say this well? It is better than the 72-win season of the Bulls dynasty, which also lost 10 games in the regular season. The team with 73 wins in the original time and space was not just the overall runner-up.

No one knows how well the opponent will perform in the next game, or whether it will be easy to win 19 consecutive games.

Since the Easter egg of Avengers 2 is set to be played by one of his grandsons, Sun Ce estimates that Marvel will definitely ask him to film Avengers 3 in the summer of that year, and it is possible that the filming will be completed earlier than others.

As for why it was filmed in the summer, it was because he only had time in the summer, and it was impossible to devote the entire summer to filming the movie. It would probably take two or three years to complete the filming.

Anyway, in addition to the outline of his face, even his height was created with special effects. His body shape and appearance change with age, which is not a problem.

As he expected, at noon, Disney called and communicated with him the schedule for next summer, as well as the summers of 2016 and 2017 that will be arranged in advance. If everything goes well, next year and the summer of 2016

It only takes one month each to complete the shooting.

The specific arrangements will have to wait until the playoffs are over in May-June next year. Right now we are just drawing up a rough time frame.

…

After taking care of the small things about making a movie and the important matters about money, Bill Duffy has professional agents who are mixed in the film and television industry, and they will take care of it.

Since we have just returned from an away game at Denver Plateau, the team has not scheduled any training and will conduct a tactical meeting and training on the morning of tomorrow's game against the Nets.

After Sun Ce settled the matter of making a movie, he researched the Nets.

Up to now, the Nets have also entered the state. However, this year's Nets do not have the ability to get angry when playing against strong teams like last season. Instead, they can only win against weak teams.

Deron has completely withered. No one knows why he withered in just two or three years when he faced Lin Kuangsheng who scored 50+ points when he was first traded to the Nets. Moreover, he is only 30 years old this year.

He has never suffered any major injuries, and his season with the fewest appearances was 64 games. He was once the strongest player at the point guard position. He is also a bearded man. He is not a violent player like Baron Davis, but a floor player.

The style of play...all the conditions show that Deron should be a player like Pierce who can play until he is in his mid-thirties and still play the main role.

As a result, Delong really withered.

This makes Sun Ce regretful that the Nets failed to advance to the Eastern Conference finals in last year's playoffs. Now it seems that unless Deron takes a big step later, it will be difficult to see the 2005 duo facing off in the playoffs.

I think back then, when Deron was high-spirited and took the lead in reaching the Western Conference Finals, Paul had nothing to do with the Western Conference Finals. Now that Paul has reached both the Eastern and Western Conference Finals, and still has the possibility of reaching the Eastern Conference Finals, Deron has already.

Past its peak period.

The Nets still have the ability to enter the Eastern Conference playoffs this year. They can't beat strong teams, but they can still beat weak teams.

In addition to the further collapse of Deron's condition, the Nets' decline in strength is also due to the fact that Garnett did not exercise his player option in the summer, but instead reached a two-year contract with the Timberwolves for US$24.96 million. The first year's 12 million was all

More than 2 million more than the player option of 9.96 million, Garnett naturally chose to return to his home team. It happened that Garnett's mentor Flip Saunders took over the Timberwolves after the end of last season.

As far as Sun Ce knows, the owner of the Timberwolves has verbally promised that after Garnett retires, he will sell the Timberwolves to Sanders, Garnett and the business team they recruited at a lower price than the market price.

Timber wolf.

But Sun Ce remembered that Garnett seemed to have been tricked in the end. The Timberwolves just asked him to go back and improve the box office. He made a verbal promise and Garnett didn't record anything. After he retired, people turned against him and refused to recognize him. There was nothing he could do, and

There was also a conflict over the delay in retiring Garnett's jersey.

In addition, Kirilenko is also sluggish. Last season, he averaged 17 minutes per game and had 5 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal, and 0.7 blocks. When Garnett was resting, he was able to link up the defense well. This season, due to the schedule,

The reason is that after seven consecutive games with zero goals, the Nets traded their precious second-round draft picks for air to save salary pressure.

This season the Grizzlies ranked first with a salary of US$110 million, the Lakers ranked second with a salary of US$98.739 million, and the Nets ranked third with a salary of US$90.92 million, beating the Knicks in the same city.

The pressure to save salary is related to the problems in the oil business of Nets owner Prokhorov. Ballmer, one of the former Microsoft bosses, is already negotiating an acquisition agreement with the Nets owner, and the NBA is also promoting this matter.

.

Now the Nets rely on Anthony, Joe Johnson, and Lopez to win. Sun Ce doesn't need to read the scouting report. As long as he knows that Deron is withering, he can guess how the three of them will lead the team...

…

On November 27, after a day of preparation, the Grizzlies ushered in their 19th game of the season, facing the Brooklyn Nets at home.

The Nets' style of play is very simple. Anthony, Joe Johnson, and Lopez take turns to open up singles!

There is nothing Rivers can do!

Deron is withering and Garnett is gone. The pick-and-roll offense can no longer be used, so we have to rely on stars.

These three are really powerful. Anthony averages 24 points per game, Joe Johnson averages 16 points per game, and Lopez averages 18 points per game. Most of them score in singles, but Deron can no longer organize the offense. His strong body every time

They can score 12 points per game. With just these four players, they average 70 points per game. The Nets are one of the teams with the lowest scoring average this season, with the team averaging 101 points per game.

When it came to the rotation stage, their substitute Jarrett Jack also averaged 12 points per game.

Their pitchers are good. Bojan Bogdanovic is known as Little Peja. Together with two other excellent pitchers, Mirza Teletovic and Alan Anderson, they have created a good situation for the Nets' singles players.

space.

The overall defense of the Nets is still good. Rivers has not relaxed on this point. The Nets are the team that has limited the lowest score to their opponents this season. The rhythm is grinding to death, that is, singles, retreating, and grinding the rhythm. They only allow

The opponent scored 99.5 points.

Therefore, in this game for the Grizzlies, defense became the focus.

Tony Allen, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Pierce, and Larry Sanders are the five most critical, while Sun Ce's connected defense and Gobert's close-range defense when Larry Sanders is resting,

Assisting in defense at the basket was a huge help.

Tony Allen and Klay Thompson defended Joe Johnson, Deron, and Jack; Paul George and Pierce defended Anthony; Larry Sanders defended Lopez, who started to lose weight and improve mobility.

defense,

The rotational defense of these three positions, coupled with Sun Ce's assisting defense connection, and Gobert's protection under the basket, helped the Grizzlies win the defensive battle!

95 to 88, the Grizzlies defeated the Nets with difficulty and won 19 consecutive victories!
