956. This time I have to rely on myself! (Part 2)
When playing against the Mavericks and Spurs, the Grizzlies feel powerless. They are not that they can’t beat them, but that they feel uncomfortable if they win. They feel like they are ready to kill the opponent with all their strength but hit the cotton.
Perhaps this is what the head coaches of the two teams want, but it may not be certain.
Although I was very unhappy with the head coaches of these two teams, Sun Ce didn't have time to care about that much, and the schedule for the next round is still tight.
And defeated the Spurs, his data of 15+9+6+3+3, Dior played 20 minutes tonight and scored 7 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. He is the internal test to surround his opponent in all aspects!
At the end of the game, the system prompts it will arrive as scheduled.
“Balanced Band Advanced Event (b):
Target 1: In the new season against Boris Dior, the host scores, rebounds, assists, blocks and steals must be higher than Boris Dior. (Completed)
Target 2: In the new season against Josh Smith, the host's rebounds, assists, and blocks must be higher than Josh Smith. (Completed)
Goal 3: In the new season against LeBron James, the host score + rebound + assists must be higher than LeBron James. (Completed.)
Congratulations to the host, the balance bracelet of Oscar Robertson in C-class equipment has been advanced to the balance bracelet of B-class equipment LeBron James."
"LeBron James' balance bracelet (b): The host will perfectly adapt to the point guard, small forward and power forward. If you choose to change the position, you will be evaluated with extremely high adaptability adjustment ability."
After completing all the goals related to Josh Smith, James, and Dior, the balance bracelet was finally upgraded! Sun Ce worked so hard to assist in defense tonight to ensure that all five data continue to be higher than Dior.
Although the issue of playing the third and fourth positions is not considered for the time being, if you want to use the inside player’s star experience card, the bonus will be higher!
...
I didn't have time to reminisce about this uncomfortable feeling to everyone on the Grizzlies. On the 12th, I returned to Memphis for a night of rest. I came home back to back, playing against the Jazz and Hornets.
When playing against the Jazz, the Grizzlies 89-79, and relied on defense to defeat the opponent. The opponent's defensive routine was to lock the rest of the Grizzlies and let Sun Ce shoot. Fortunately, Sun Ce played 38 minutes and scored 12 of 26 shots.
33 points, 17 rebounds, 4 assists, 5 blocks and 2 steals, and performed very well. He was not defeated by the opponent's targeted tactics and held back.
But in the fourth game of 8 days and 6 games, the last game back to back was not tightened, and the Hornets were upset by the Hornets 79 to 88.
It was purely because he couldn't make a shot here. Hornets head coach Byron Scott worked very hard. Any player except Irving was replaced, but the players on the court were still very hard. They were not for Byron S
Cote's plan to play badly is working hard for his own contract. Seeing that except for Sun Ce and Gasol Jr., the Grizzlies' other players feel bad in their hands, and they decisively attacked the two, but others like to shoot but not to shoot.
.
Irving scored 28 points and 4 assists tonight, surpassing Sun Ce who scored 20 points and 5 assists in scoring and assists.
Under Irving's leadership, the Hornets defeated the Grizzlies in an upset manner.
The Grizzlies' four consecutive wins were finished, and their record turned into 48 wins and 11 losses. The goal of tying the Bulls' lowest loss in a single season was shattered.
What’s interesting is that although this game was not live, the photos circulated after the game were heartbreaking, Byron Scott’s desperate expression on his face…
Before this game, the Hornets lost 18 and 31 losses. The Bobcats, who "chased" the last in the East, would definitely not catch up. The opponent lost 6 and 52 losses, playing the bad king, and the Grizzlies' lowest winnings maintained by the Grizzlies.
A 8-game stance.
But the Hornets were originally the second-last in the league, but now they have defeated the Grizzlies, and their winning numbers have increased to 19 games, and they have been tied by the Wizards and the Suns!
Scott, the master of field control, cannot stand up to the suppression of the schedule.
...
The Devil's schedule for 6 games in 8 days is still going on. After playing back to back, another back to back is coming soon, playing against the Timberwolves and the Bobcats at home and away.
The day after playing against the Hornets, on the 15th, the Grizzlies did not arrange training.
But the coaching staff still has to work, and today we held a meeting to discuss how to play the remaining 7 games.
The newly replaced LED screen in the conference room of the FedEx Arena lists the results of this season so far.
There are only 6 to 8 games left in each team, and the current rankings are very fierce.
In the West, the Grizzlies ranked first with 48 wins, the second Lakers were 45 wins and 15 losses, the third Spurs were 44 wins and 16 losses, the fourth Thunder were 42 wins and 17 losses, and the fifth Nuggets were
The team is 40 wins and 20 losses, the sixth Clippers are 35 wins and 25 losses, the seventh Mavericks are 33 wins and 26 losses, the eighth Jazz are 33 wins and 27 losses, the ninth Warriors are 30 wins and 30 losses, and the tenth Rockets are
The team won 29 and lost 29.
In the East, the Heat, the No. 1 wins and 14 losses, the Bulls, the No. 2 wins and 15 losses, the No. 76ers, the No. 4 wins and 19 losses, the No. 4 Pacers, the No. 38 wins and 21 losses, and the No. 5 Nick
The Squad team had 38 wins and 21 losses, the sixth Celtics had 37 wins and 23 losses, the seventh Hawks had 30 wins and 30 losses, and the eighth Bucks had 27 wins and 31 losses.
The top eight teams in the east and west this year have generally been very good, but it has also led to particularly poor performances in non-playoff teams. There are 10 teams in the league that have a winning rate of about 30%.
The rankings of the first few are still uncertain, and the rankings of the last few are not certain. If you win more games and lose more games, the ranking will change greatly.
The Grizzlies have maintained the league first place for so long, and are not that stable now. Starting tomorrow, 11 days and 7 games. If they really lose a lot, theoretically, they may be defeated in the end.
Coach Hollins analyzed the current ranking and switched to the next schedule.
The Timberwolves played at home on the 16th, the Bobcats played away on the 17th, the Blazers opened at home on the 19th, the Cavaliers played at home on the 21st, the Magic played at home on the 23rd, the Hornets played away on the 24th, and the Mavericks played away on the 27th regular season.
Coach Hollins said to his colleagues: "The next seven games are very important. We need to ensure health and record in this compact time, and we need to prepare for the playoffs in the last schedule.
, We relied on the rest to prevent the players from experiencing too many injuries, but it also led to the cooperation not as good as the early stage of the season, and needed adjustments. How do you arrange the next schedule? You can tell your own suggestions."
This is a task assigned last night. Today’s meeting is about coming up with a plan and it must be implemented immediately.
To ensure health, physical distribution, and also to prepare for the playoffs and ensure the record, this is quite difficult.
Dave Joggle first said his plan: "We continue to let Steve, Mark, Zach and Tony alternately rest in back-to-back, stick to our strategy, if we can win at least 3 games,
Can win the regular season championship stably and ensure health.”
This is a guarantee strategy in the absence of any solution. It is very stable, but conservative. Most of the things are considered, but the key season-end run-in is not done.
As the general manager, Chris Wallace also knows the ball and proposes a plan: "We can let Zach, Mark, Tony, Steve and others not play directly, and have a good rest, and at the end
Go all out in 3 games.”
This is a good idea, but this method is too radical. If you really take a long rest, you will lose your state...
After some discussion, there is still no specific solution.
After all, not all problems can be solved, and if you encounter problems, you can solve them... NBA will not change anyway. The strong ones are strong, the weak ones are weak, and everyone can solve the problem, which means that all problems have not been solved.
.
Stockton, who was pulled to attend the meeting, thought for a while and began to analyze: "Actually, I think our players have little physical problems now. Their back-to-back performance has fluctuated a lot in the past month. I don't think it's just that.
Physical issues, our rotation rest plan is done well.
Now our problem is that under such a close schedule, they are allowed to play at the time they should play as long as they play. Even if they have a round, they will actually only have two days off when they play in the next game...
…”
After Stockton analyzed it, Coach Hollins took the initiative to ask for advice: "What is your suggestion by John?"
Stockton pondered for a moment and said, "We can play directly according to the playoff lineup, but to reduce the playing time of players we need them to rest, such as making Steve and Mark play a little shorter in each quarter.
, Don’t let them play more because of the score, win or lose, let young players play more, and let them cooperate for 3-5 minutes in each quarter..."
...
...
After a 5-day and 4-day battle, Sun Ce took a good rest for a day, lay down and watched the crayon Shin-chief, talked with Lily Collins for two hours of phone calls, and accompanied Zu E to do manual work... It's like that one day
It's over.
After a day of rest, on April 16, the last back-to-back of the 8-day 6 games came, and the home and away game was back-to-back. Sun Ce was cheered up again and had to defend the regular season championship in the last 7 games!
This is the first regular season championship flag in his career. I thought that I had won 65 last season, but I didn’t even have the championship flag in the competition area. It was so miserable. This time I finally had the opportunity to hang the team history in the arena on the sky.
The first flag.
He sent Zue to the school and told the driver that the text message was instructed to receive Zue in the afternoon and then went directly to the FedEx Arena. Sun Ce came to the Arena to prepare for tonight's game.
If anyone in the league is like Sun Ce who played 59 games in 3 and a half months and was like a ok, getting up early in the morning and running at 8 o'clock in the morning to practice shooting... Maybe there is no such season.
Tim Hardaway's technical assistant mentality is about to collapse. Seeing Sun Ce practicing shooting again with vitality, Tim Hardaway serves Sun Ce miserably, and from time to time, he has to guide Sun Ce to catch the ball
Problems such as jumping connection...
Sun Ce is not tired, he is tired!
At the pre-match meeting in the morning, the coaching staff announced that in the next 7 games, all the main players will play.
Just when Sun Ce was confused and asked questions, coach Hollins continued: "Due to the tight schedule, Steve and Tony's playing time will be limited to 12 to 15 minutes, and Mark and Zach's playing time will be limited to 15 minutes.
By 20 minutes, we will arrange the lineup and tactics in the first half of each quarter based on their playing style, and they will not play in the remaining time..."
This arrangement was confused when Sun Ce was heard. After the tactical meeting, Sun Ce finally sorted out and found that this was a pitfall!
Tony Allen and Gasol Jr. are the internal and external defensive gates, and they only play the first half of each quarter; Nash is the running and bomb commander, and Randolph is the strongest player in positional battle offense, and he only plays every
In the first half of the competition, 12 to 15 minutes, Sun Ce estimated that it might be 12 minutes, 15 to 20 minutes, or 15 minutes...
In other words, in the second half of each quarter of each game, these four big guys may not be able to play!
So if there is a crisis, who does the team need to rely on?
He asked Nash, and Nash gave him a blank look: "Damn you! Our mvp."
“…”
Sun Ce just asked Teacher Na to express his uneasiness. Indeed, this time, the team had to point out his contributions to him. He had never had such a situation before. Even if he had a rest, the four big guys would always
Leave two for him and let him find ways to solve the problem around these teammates.
Chapter completed!
