1917. The strongest opponent in the East (5K(1/2)
The Warriors advanced, the Thunder and the Trail Blazers reached a tiebreak, and not many people paid attention to these two popular games.
Modern Basketball Times has the highest average score per game in a single season. Modern Basketball has the second MVP player in three consecutive MVP, with 70+ wins in two consecutive seasons...
The Grizzlies this season and Sun Ce this season have more topics worth discussing than last season!
Because indeed, the performance of the Grizzlies this year is too legendary, and Sun Ce’s honor this year is completely inseparable from the team’s performance. Sun Ce and Grizzlies, the performance of both are a little worse. This season, Sun Ce and Hui
The Bears' light will be much dimmed, and even if it is a little dimmed, it will not reach such an amazing level.
Until the next day, on April 29, the Grizzlies won the MVP for three consecutive times and were still the most concerned topic among fans.
The Grizzlies had a good time last night, but everyone was still very self-disciplined. They had already returned to their own houses before 12 o'clock, including the Philatelic Brothers who temporarily closed the post-season in the playoffs.
Gerald Green and Banyani, who drank the most, were not drunk, and none of them had appeared in the playoffs...
There is nothing we can do about it. The Grizzlies have maintained good health this season. Sun Ce, Klay Thompson and Paul George have played for a long time, creating a good chance of rest for other teammates.
It's hard to say next season, but this season, the Grizzlies are in good health.
Most people slept in the morning, including Sun Ce. Sun Ce got up at noon and had lunch. He arrived at the stadium at 1:30 pm and saw that his teammates had arrived and the player Jay Michael Green, who had developed the contract.
"Jermichael, I'm trying so hard to defend against Kante or Whiteside?"
"Brother Third, I think you are more suitable to defend them than me. You are our rebounding king and blocking king!"
"How can I be a weak point guard like this kind of tiring work? You must be here."
Looking at Sun Ce, as tall as himself, he weighs two or three pounds, even his most proud 219 cm arm span is slightly shorter than this guy, Jamie Green doesn't know how to describe his mood
, Why do you want to hit someone so much? Although he can't even defend himself from the regular inside, he is also a serious forward swaying man...
Sun Ce and Jamie Green can be considered a hit on the spot. They had a happy chat when they first met last year, but they didn't get along well at that time. After all, God knew whether Jamie Green could stay. Sun Ce didn't know whether Jamie Green could stay.
I haven't even heard of the famous player.
It's not Sun Ce's snobbishness, but if Jay Michael Green doesn't gain a foothold in the NBA, then he is not a person in the same circle. Maybe like the players in the preseason training camp contract in previous years, he will never see him again once he leaves the Grizzlies.
Arrive on the face.
Over time, after Sun Ce had experienced a lot, he would definitely be selective to make friends. Although the real friends were still the same as before after not seeing each other for a long time, they were friends who had experienced many ups and downs together, and they were either friends who were called friends if they were a colleague.
But Jamie Green really admired Sun Ce. This guy has been playing in the Development League for more than a year and finally started to enter the rotation lineup. Not only did he not slackened because he would definitely get a considerable contract, but he became harder
, hope to make some achievements in the playoffs.
Although Jamie Green won the championship last year, he does not think it is his honor for the championship that he doesn't have a minute of playing time. He hopes to contribute to the team's championship season.
As they chatted, their teammates arrived one after another. Sun Ce was quite surprised, but more happy. This time, the defending season was much better than when they experienced the defending season for the first time in the 12-13 season. It was not only him.
When Mr. Sun becomes stronger, not only does the whole team become stronger, but it is not so narrow-minded, but they also become stronger from many details.
For example, the players have developed spontaneous discipline, because the team has not arranged training today, and tomorrow it will be the 30th. The tiebreak between the Thunder and the Trail Blazers will start. The Grizzlies have confirmed that they will start on May 2.
In the second round, today is a break, and tomorrow is just a regular technical and tactical training. After determining the opponent tomorrow night, targeted preparations will only begin on the 1st of next month.
As a result, most of the players came to train this afternoon. Except for Banyani, they were not active in training. Randolph, Mo Williams, Carter, Tony Allen was older and drank wine last night.
Come to train, other players, including Gerald Green and Nans, are here.
Sun Ce practiced the top three-minute arc and the right three-pointer in the three-second zone. Now he is definitely the strongest shooting area. The top arc is expected to break through to the quasi-throw level. He has been at the S-level for a long time, and the three-second zone
The mid-range shot on the right is Sun Ce's most promising shooting area. It has been two months since he reached the S+ level. Other positions may have the opportunity to continue to break through, but these two points are the strongest, so you must practice these two points more.
A day passed, and finally, on April 30, the game day for the Thunder and the Trail Blazers tiebreaker match was coming, and the fans' attention was shifted from Sun Ce.
Many fans then remembered that the first round was about to end!
The Grizzlies, Raptors and Bulls swept to advance.
The Heat defeated the 76ers 4-1 to advance; the Warriors defeated the Lakers 4-2, the Celtics defeated the Nets 4-2, the Spurs defeated the Mavericks 4-2, and now the Thunder and the Trail Blazers are left.
The series has not yet been decided.
Sun Ce and the Grizzlies were too popular these days, resulting in many teams not paying attention to the promotion.
Especially the Trail Blazers, who played so well but did not win the attention they should have, and the Thunder were "implicated".
Finally, the Trail Blazers no longer have to complain about their disregard. At 9:39 pm, after 2 hours and 39 minutes of the game, the Thunder defeated the Trail Blazers 127-121 at home through overtime.
Win the tiebreak battle.
...
Finally knowing who the opponent in the next round is, Sun Ce is impatient to wait, and the fourth and fifth troubles are the same.
The main reason is that the Thunder didn't know what to do, so they took the initiative to fall to fourth place in the West to avoid the Lakers, which stimulated the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers performed well, if it weren't for Durant's regular time to equalize the score.
With a buzzer-beating three-pointer, Westbrook won the 11-pointer in overtime and helped the Thunder play a 11-5 win in the series.
However, this tiebreaker made Durant and Westbrook have a good glory.
But this also made Sun Ce more vigilant!
The biggest improvement of the Thunder this season compared to last season is the rotation schedule.
It has made progress last season. After getting Kanter from the Jazz last summer, the progress this season has become more obvious, from rotation arrangements to ball rights, and space allocation... For example, Westbrook, the defensive end has been required to defend well this season.
The pitcher and the breakthrough player truly show his ability to be the best defensive player in the state in college. The top level is not considered a good one, but it has the same first-class defensive effect as Ross.
The part that shows this is the decline in Westbrook's rebounding. Westbrook averaged 10+ rebounds per game in the past two years, but this season only 7.5 times, Kanter, the Thunder's best sixth man, averaged 9.1 per game.
The board has become the Thunder's new rebounding champion.
Kanter's inside singles, Durant and Ibaka's mid-range shots and cuts, Westbrook's organizational offense, Dion Waiters' outside singles, this is the offensive end, Westbrook and Andre
Robertson, Durant, Ibaka, and Adams are also very strong. In addition, the Thunder's regular offense and defense have become better, and they have also won 61 wins this season.
The Thunder's record is not only bad, but has already achieved the best performance in the team history. However, this is the reason why he was born at the wrong time. He couldn't even make it to the top three in the Western Conference with 61 wins...
After watching the tiebreak battle, the reason why Sun Ce developed a sense of crisis was that the Thunder team showed the strongest strength in their team history after the changes this year.
There is better performance in regular time. Durant can stand up at critical moments, and he will also be a physically weird person who plays in overtime.
This opponent for many years must not be underestimated!
...
When the Thunder and the Trail Blazers entered the tiebreak battle, the second round schedule had already come out.
The Spurs and Warriors will start the series on May 1, with the same day the Bulls and 76ers series.
Rose and Evans, who already have the nickname of "Enemy of Life", fight each time the fans are very enthusiastic. Both of them are very popular. They have always been All-Star starters, and they have Sun Ce in their contemporaries.
Such a super point guard still shines with their own light.
Curry is also shining in Sun Ce's era, but Curry is now unhappy...
Some media are guiding public opinion - this time the Spurs have Duncan's last season, hoping to see the scene of Duncan and Sun Ce passing the torch. Moreover, the Spurs' strong lineup this season is likely to be the best chance to win the championship in the next ten years.
Curry was so angry when he saw this statement! The Spurs had the best opportunity, wasn't they the Warriors?
The new month arrived as scheduled, and on May 1st, the second round began.
Sun Ce followed the team to start tactical training for the Thunder.
Although the players have been training in basic tactical training and shooting training in the past few days, the coaching staff and scouts are not idle and are preparing for both the Trail Blazers and the Thunder.
The Trail Blazers' performance in the playoffs was indeed a surprise, and the Grizzlies have put in their hearts and preparations.
Although it seemed like it was in vain in the end, it was not in vain to say that such things were not in vain. For the coaching staff, it would be easy to consider the possible situations as much as possible.
While drinking a few days ago, Sun Ce heard David West and Mo Williams lamenting the various advantages of their Grizzlies. He really didn't notice that they had so many advantages of the Grizzlies. You have to know that
Both of them have played on top teams. Since they talked about the small details that few people would care about in an exclaimed tone, Sun Ce knew that they did a really good job.
However, Sun Ce never thought of this before. He strictly demanded himself on matters related to the game based on his previous successful experience, and some teammates with ambition and dreams influenced each other... After summarizing, Sun Ce's evaluation was very objective.
I looked at their situation - a group of excellent people got together and became even better.
When the tactical training in the morning ended, Sun Ce heard that the Thunder team had arrived here in a hurry this morning.
We will play the first game of the series with the Thunder tomorrow. Obviously, this is not good news for the Thunder. We will play the tiebreak in the first round and play the second round after a day off.
It was fine before the promotion was promoted. After the promotion, Thunder fans criticized the unfairness online.
However, Sun Ce felt it was fair, even if he, Sun, encountered this situation in a certain playoffs... he might feel it was unfair at that time.
But now he feels it is fair. The Grizzlies played better in the first round and advanced earlier, so they naturally have to have more advantages. This is how competitive sports are. They should have advantages when they perform well.
Otherwise, what should I do if I have a better record?
If you don’t suffer any losses, you have to play better than your opponent in the next round.
...
The preparation time of the day has passed quickly, and there has been no more practice. The basic tactics and technical training has been carried out in the past few days, and the training volume of today's teams is particularly low.
The advantage of solid basic tactics is that it will be easier to seek change.
When I got home, I happened to catch up on dinner.
After dinner, Sun Ce's father went to practice English with a group of old men and aunts of the same age he met recently. Sun Ce's mother also went there to avoid scaring his old man.
Sun Ce’s mother has been learning English well in recent years. She doesn’t need to translate when going out to the supermarket or shopping mall. However, Sun Ce’s father’s English problem is a long-term problem, but it has improved recently and has made rapid progress.
To be continued...
