Seven Hundred and Ninety-Four. Disappointing Jennings
60 wins and 15 losses!
This record is too fantastic. There are still 7 games to play. Anything can happen, such as surpassing the Spurs!
The day after playing against the Mavericks, Sun Ce came to the stadium and actively prepared for the next home back-to-back game with his teammates and coaching staff.
The win last night was a fluke. The game process was unexpected, but winning is winning. Sun Ce and his teammates are very active in striving to hit the first place in the league.
After a short day of preparation, on April 7, the Grizzlies ushered in the first home back-to-back game against the Bucks who came to defend.
The Bucks' performance this season has declined greatly compared with last season. They won 47 games last season, but now they have only won 33 games. They have been overtaken by the Pacers with 34 wins and 40 losses and dropped to ninth in the East.
The team lost Luke Ridnour, the team leader and locker room leader Reid was reimbursed early and wanted to retire, and he didn't care about the team. The former Clippers star Corey Maggette was introduced by mistake... The most important thing is that Jennings has not improved at all compared to his rookie season, and his assists have dropped. In his rookie season, Jennings averaged 15.5 points and 5.7 assists per game, but this season he only averaged 4.8 assists per game. He still played the same way as in his rookie season, and his skills have not improved significantly. His shooting percentage has only increased by one percentage point compared to 38% last season. His opponents have figured him out.
At the beginning of the season, Jennings, who was also a rising star who scored 50+ points in a single game in his rookie season, still had some media and fans who had high hopes for him at the time, thinking that he might be able to improve to the level of Sun Ce, Evans and others in the second season.
However, now, many players in the 2009 class have surpassed Jennings, including Harden, Lawson, Holiday, Teague, DeRozan, Collison... These people have received higher evaluations than Jennings this season.
Curry, who Jennings looked down upon, has now become the fourth best player in the 2009 class. Only Sun Ce, Evans, and Griffin performed better than Curry.
Of course, he is not yet 22 years old and there is room for improvement in the future, but his performance is indeed disappointing, considering that he scored 50+ in a single game in his rookie season. He may have been affected and felt that he should shoot more, which led to his overall performance being worse than his rookie season, and he was stubborn and unwilling to change.
In this game tonight, facing the defense of Tony Allen, who returned after a rest, Jennings failed to explode. He made 3 of 10 shots in a single game and only scored 7 points and 3 assists.
The best performer of the Bucks tonight was Bogut, who scored 14 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks.
In the regular season this season, Bogut averaged 12.2 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2.8 blocks per game,
and played the best performance of his career. If Sun Ce had not averaged 3.7 blocks per game so far, he would have had a chance to win the block king.
With Sun Ce's 24 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 blocks, Randolph's 28 points, 11 rebounds and Morrow's 14 points, even if Gasol continued to rest, the Grizzlies easily defeated the Bucks 95-83 to win two consecutive victories, raising their record to 61 wins and 15 losses, approaching the Spurs!
In this game, Yi Jianlian and Paul George returned to their normal level. Fortunately, the two did not get carried away because of their good performance in the last game. They were still the same, waiting for opportunities, taking the ball and shooting when there was a good opportunity, and running and pick-and-rolling when there was no opportunity.
The Grizzlies have good team discipline, which has played a good role in the growth and progress of the two.
What kind of strength, what kind of state, what kind of role, sit down what kind of things.

The day after playing the Bucks, the Grizzlies ushered in the recently strong Trail Blazers back-to-back.
The Trail Blazers are currently fighting with the Thunder for the fourth place. The Nuggets, which is composed of a group of young players, fell behind at the end of the regular season. The Nuggets have just suffered a wave of 3 consecutive losses. With 47 wins and 30 losses, they are expected to get 50 wins, but there is no hope to catch up with the Thunder with 49 wins and the Trail Blazers with 51 wins.
However, several young stars of the Thunder have withstood the pressure at the end of the regular season. They are all young and talented players. The gap between the Thunder and the Nuggets is obvious. In the middle of the season, the Nuggets can rely on a maximum of 12 rotations to play a stunning performance in January, but at the end of the season, the Thunder's core talents are better, counterattack, and are expected to pull the Trail Blazers down.
The Trail Blazers will naturally not sit and wait for death. They have been playing very hard recently. The Spurs' seven-game winning streak was ended by them. By the way, the Heat, who were about to surpass the Celtics in the East, were also sniped by the Trail Blazers.
The Trail Blazers are currently very powerful!
At 6 pm on April 8, the game between the Grizzlies and the Trail Blazers started.
Both teams played with all their main players. After Gasol rested for two games, his ankle injury was almost healed and he no longer felt any discomfort when moving at full speed. Tony Allen did not rest in the back-to-back games, and the lineup was rotated. Conley went to the bench and Tony Allen started, hoping to improve the defense to the strongest from the beginning.
But the Trail Blazers were not easy to deal with. Batum, Gerald Wallace and Cunningham formed a strong front line defense!
Andre Miller, Roy, Matthews, Fernandez, and Patrick Mills form a back line. They can show off any characteristics of guards, and almost all of them have the ability to attack with the ball. In such a team, even Roy's data is only 17.8 points and 6.6 assists. Everyone is a team player... In addition to the rookie contract players and veterans with minimum salary, the Trail Blazers' main players have high salaries, and almost all of them are long-term contracts. They must be very team-oriented.
From point guard to power forward, the Grizzlies didn't get it good tonight!
This match between the Grizzlies and the Trail Blazers is the last one this season. The Grizzlies won two games and the Trail Blazers won one game in the first three games. With the experience of the first three games, they already know each other very well. They are both strong defensive teams, and they are well prepared to target each other.
As the game goes on, the biggest advantage of the Grizzlies is... the center! Gasol's low-post singles against Aldridge became the main attack point, which was rare, but Aldridge was also desperate...
Camby was injured, so they dug up Earl Baron, a 213-cm center who averaged 11 points and 11 rebounds per game in the Knicks last season. Baron was injured in the 08-08 season and returned in the last 10 games of last season. He played 7 games and made progress on the basis of averaging 7 points and 5 rebounds per game in the 07-08 season. Although it was surprising, it was not unusual for a 29-year-old to make progress in his golden age. In the early part of this season, Baron did not get playing time in the Bucks and was bought out. After the buyout, he joined the Trail Blazers, and then it was as people were used to...
Baron came to the Trail Blazers and played 12 games and was injured again...
