1686. The advantage that can never be achieved (4000 words
Sun Ce didn't know what the reason was. The opponent's head coach Hornersek suddenly became extremely targeted, and used the inner and outer combination of Jordan Jr. and Antetokounmpo to attack him wildly.
The key is that Horacek's somewhat blind operation is quite effective!
They took a break tonight, Randolph and Larry Sanders, Tony Allen did not play after a break, and the others were in a state after a winning streak... This break does not mean that they were in a bad state,
It's just that they haven't experienced this normal situation for too long, and they are very uncomfortable in fighting and need time to adapt.
The most important thing is that they are in 5 days and 4 games. It is obvious that Klay Thompson and Paul George are not in the form of online, and coach Hollins has also reduced their playing time, allowing Livingston and Blake,
Carter and Pierce played to avoid injuries caused by fatigue in double 3D. Although they agreed with the two at the beginning of the season that they would not take them off in principle, but they would reduce their playing time under reasonable circumstances, and this is no problem.
When he played less in double 3D, Aldridge was in a normal state. He only made 3 of 9 shots in 23 minutes and scored 11 points. Sun Ce brought Livingston, Blake, Carter, Pierce, Stoudemire, and Richard.
-Jefferson, Yi Jianlian, Gobert plays the Suns...
If Carter and Pierce were two years younger, Sun Ce would think it would be easy to play, but if these two were two years younger, they would not be players that could be signed by the mini middle class. Pierce played well with the Celtics two years ago.
Shuiqi, with the salary of a top small forward with more than 16 million yuan, averaged 18+6+5 per game...
The Suns have begun to rise this season. A group of young players want to win when they see the opportunity. Antetokounmpo and Jordan Jr. are blocking Sun Ce and doing a good job.
After playing for 39 minutes, 11 of 27 shots, including 2 of 8 three-pointers, plus 7 of 8 free throws, Sun Ce scored 31 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal. The Grizzlies lost to the Suns 92-99
, ushered in the second loss of the season.
...
After playing against the Suns, they returned to the locker room. Sun Ce sat together with Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Yi Jianlian chatted.
I was a little unwilling to lose, but today's state is in 4 games in 5 days, and there is nothing I can do about it.
Sun Ce and others are more afraid of the Suns, which have Jordan Jr. and Antetokounmpo, which are both internal and external combinations.
Jordan Jr.'s characteristics are similar to Howard. Although not as strong as Howard, it can be seen that even if he plays in his early 30s, he can still be at the level of a first-class center. In today's era, first-class centers are close to the top level, and average games.
There is no problem with double-doubles, such as Gotat of the Wizards, who can steadily get double-doubles per game.
The key is Antetokounmpo, who has already begun to show his explosive talent in the second grade!
As we chatted, Paul George said, "That little lord and third brother, you seemed to be when you first entered the NBA."
This view is quite strange. Although Antetokounmpo is called "Little Lord" by the media and fans, no one said they are like each other.
If you have to say that they are all bigger than other players in their respective positions.
There are many people who say that Sun Ce and Durant are more like that than Sun Ce and Antetokounmpo. Antetokounmpo is known as the point guard, but in fact, they have been playing small forwards since they entered the NBA.
Sun Ce gave Paul George a blank look: "It's not like it, my skills are much better than him."
"I mean characteristics! characteristics!"
"The characteristics are not similar. I am a noble QQ member... No, I am a noble technical streaming player, he is a rough physical streaming player..."
Speaking of using physical fitness, it was Paul George's turn to roll his eyes this time: When it comes to using physical fitness, who can use it better than you? Durant and Antetokounmpo play forward at least, and you go to the point guard!
Yi Jianlian and Klay Thompson couldn't help rolling their eyes as they heard the conversation between them - once the third brother lost, he would become such an unreasonable look and could not communicate well.
Klay Thompson couldn't help but say: "Paul is talking about age, who, what kind of Conbo is coming? He was just 20 years old at the age of 6, and his progress is so fast."
Hearing this, Sun Ce complained to Paul George: "You can't speak properly, just say no, and insist that that guy looks like me."
Paul George was very desperate. As expected, as long as he lost the game, the third brother could not communicate normally!
Sun Ce continued: "That guy is really talented, otherwise why would Bill sign him from Europe? And the rules are becoming more and more suitable for him now. He breaks into the inside and no one dares to touch him unless it is Mark and Hassan.
, A big center like Rudy stands at the basket and doesn't jump, which can limit him, but we can't block him from the outside tonight, so he can't rush in directly Rudy..."
"Yes, this is my problem..."
Paul George subconsciously admitted his mistake, but suddenly remembered that he didn't play much tonight, and only played for 11 minutes. Antetokounmpo scored 18 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals, it was nothing to do with him!
Indeed, if he was there, he would have just had a wave with Antetokounmpo, this year his tonnage was bigger than Sun Ce. Sun Ce did not gain weight last summer, and Paul George's weight increased from 95 kg to 106 kg in the rookie year.
It basically reached the limit he could accept, and it was a little bit more than Sun Ce's tonnage.
The main reason is that he does this, or Klay Thompson can do it, Carter can't stop it, Pierce's speed is not enough to defend, Sun Ce will defend... Sun Ce will attack enough tonight.
Also, Sun Ce did not use physical potion tonight because he would play against the Thunder team tomorrow. If Sun Ce played for 48 minutes, he would still be able to defeat the Suns.
The most important thing is that the opponent's desire to win is so strong that he is difficult to understand. Even if the Suns are young players, the opponent's head coach Hornersek is actively making adjustments from beginning to end.
...
Back to back to back of the road, we have to say under what circumstances it is, that is, after losing the first game, there is no time to lament why we lose, go to bed when we return to the hotel, and early the next morning, we have to go to the next city.
At 10 a.m. on December 20, Sun Ce followed the team to Oklahoma City, checked in at the hotel, put down his luggage, and then put down his luggage.
During the winning streak, Sun Ce felt that he was always winning. He had just escaped from the feeling of going to heaven. After the winning streak, he didn't play a few games. He started from the game where the winning streak was ended. He just played.
With 2 wins and 2 losses, the record turned into 29 wins and 2 losses, and suddenly it was the last game before the Christmas game!
It just came very suddenly. Sun Ce felt that time passed too quickly. In a flash, the new season has begun for more than two months!
After tonight's game with the Thunder, they had no matches from the 21st to the 24th.
The games of other teams will come to an end tomorrow at the latest. Teams that want to play the Christmas battle will basically rest from the 21st to the 24th. Teams that don’t play the Christmas battle will basically rest from the 22nd.
By the 25th.
The last game of the Thunder in 5 days and 4 games was simply a big deal. Sun Ce felt that he was so angry when he came to Oklahoma City.
However, there is good news, that is, the opponent is also in a difficult schedule, because the Thunder also wants to play Christmas battles. The Grizzlies have to play as many as 12 games in the first 20 days of December, and the Thunder also wants to play the same.
In 12 games, the Thunder have also played two games in the past three days. Tonight's game is also back-to-back, the last game in 4 days and 3 games.
It depends on which side can control physical energy consumption more reasonably in such a schedule and maintain better condition.
The former is their Grizzlies' advantage. For the game tonight, coach Hollins did not give Klay Thompson and Paul George too many opportunities to find form yesterday. Aldridge only played 23 minutes.
Dove and Larry Sanders also had a rest.
But the latter, the Thunder seem to be better, and the Grizzlies started almost leading the entire league in form. Later, they entered the early stage of the season and started with a 27-game winning streak, and then entered the pain period. The Thunder is
The routine step-by-step running-in, find the state, improve the chemical reaction, and fight step by step until now.
After playing 31 games, the Thunder's record increased to 20 wins and 11 losses, increasing the winning rate to more than 60%.
Durant and Westbrook, who have begun to enter the golden period of their career, are indeed strong. Westbrook guarantees the team's lower limit, and Durant raises the upper limit. In addition to the role players being inferior to the Lakers, they are not as outstanding as Leonard.
In Sun Ce's view, the third leader may be a little stronger than Kobe, who is about to fight against Dewey, who is more serious aging on the Lakers and James at his peak.
...
At 6:40 pm, the two teams entered the Ford Center stadium after warming up.
Coach Hollins looked at his own player who entered the court first and felt that it was time to breathe a sigh of relief.
There is no main player's rest tonight. Except for Richard Jefferson who has to rest for a week due to a calf muscle strain, other main players may play tonight. Except for Blake who was not on the activation list, even Stoudemire is ready.
Preparation to replace Richard Jefferson to partner with Yi Jianlian.
The first 3 games of 4 games in 5 days and 4 games were 2 wins and 1 loss. This record is very good, but after winning 27 games in a row, he scored 2 wins and 2 losses. Even as the head coach, he knew that he should treat all this rationally, Huolin
Coach Si still hates this feeling.
Fortunately, after this game, there are 4 days off. Although the team members of their team are not doing their jobs and are going to hold a concert, it does not prevent them from resting.
Instead, this is an opportunity to empty your brain and regain the feeling of the game.
Coach Hollins clearly felt that his players were not really in bad shape. They were in normal condition, just returning to the normal state that started the first 14 games of the season, that is, normal state.
Coach Hollins analyzed from his own team video that his own team members started in the 15th game and were in amazing condition. After his condition returned to normal, the current situation would naturally occur.
Coach Hollins doesn't want to lose in a game, he has already won 29 and lost 2, so of course he wants to make trouble!
Of course, he was still very rational and knew that the opponent tonight was more important than the opponent last night. So, when yesterday's Double 3D and Aldridge were in poor condition due to fatigue, he chose to reduce the appearance time of the three.
Just for tonight's game.
The regular season record is very important, but you may encounter the Thunder, the championship-winning team in the playoffs, so he focused on this 5-day and 4 games to the last game!
Randolph and Larry Sanders didn't play in the 17th game with yesterday, just for the game tonight!
At 7 p.m., the second regular season match between the Grizzlies and Thunders this season started.
Westbrook and Durant both want to win. They really want to have an advantage in the regular season with the Grizzlies. Since Sun Ce entered the NBA, they have had singles in the past five years when they were almost against other teams.
The winning and losing advantage of the regular season matches is only the Grizzlies. They lose more than they win, and they have never created an advantage in the regular season.
However, ideals are full and reality is skinny. The Thunder are in a worse state than the Grizzlies tonight!
The Grizzlies are just not adapted to the normal state, while the Thunder are not even as good as the ordinary state. Durant, with a strong belief, only made 5 of 19 shots tonight and scored 13 points, setting a new season low.
Westbrook is also amazing, Durant is not good, he played 48 minutes and scored 35 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists, but he made too many moves, and some of them should have been passed by his teammates to pass the second pass.
The goal that created the team's chances was gone. Although he had 35 points and 10 assists, the Thunder team only scored 91 points.
But Westbrook had to shoot more, Durant was not as good as him tonight, which caused the Grizzlies to block the role player. Westbrook really could only keep holding the ball to make his own decision this time.
On the Grizzlies, Sun Ce performed normally tonight, making 12 of 23 shots, including 3 of 6 three-pointers, plus 6 of 6 free throws, scoring 33 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists, 4 blocks and 1 steal, although there were 6 turnovers
The opponent's defense is OK. He was targeted several times when passing the ball, but the flaws did not conceal the merits. Under his regular performance, the Grizzlies performed normally.
With Paul George's 14 points and 6 assists, Klay Thompson's 19 points and Aldridge's 12 points, the Grizzlies in normal form easily defeated the sluggish Thunder 105-91, and will make a record before the Christmas game.
Increased to 30 wins and 2 losses!
When the final whistle sounded, Sun Ce felt a little regretful. He didn't like his opponents in bad shape, especially those of the Thunder whom he regarded as a strong opponent.
However, looking at the record of 30 wins and 2 losses, thinking of having a good rest in the next 4 days, Sun Ce thinks it's okay. Occasionally, their opponents are in poor condition and they can win easily. They can't always be in poor condition and their opponents are in poor condition.
He saved the world alone.
