Eight Hundred and Sixty-Seven. I, Old Sun, Am a Defender!
Genius website address: []s..! No ads!
After two games, Sun Ce's average per game is not very representative, with 34 points in the first game.
But the game average is very interesting. If it weren't for Love's 28 points and 24 rebounds in the opening game, Sun Ce would be the player averaging the highest rebounds per game at the beginning of the new season.
He averaged 4.5 assists per game, which is still useful for reference. In the first game with Nash, Sun Ce only had 5 assists. In the first game, the overall offense was actually very good. In the second game, it was a defensive battle, and Sun Ce had 4 assists.
What is certain is that after Nash comes, it is unlikely that Sun Ce will average 7+ assists per game like he did in the past two seasons.
However, TV station commentators and basketball media analysis believe that Sun Ce still has a chance to hit 20+10+5 level data, and because Nash is here, Sun Ce's hope of averaging 20+ per game has become higher.
In the Christmas game, Sun Ce scored 9 points in the first 7 minutes and 21 seconds of the third quarter. Although he felt very good throughout the game, it represented Sun Ce's running awareness and ability to catch and shoot that he has developed in the past two years. The characteristics of his playing style fit well with Nash.
Although the current playing styles of several Grizzlies lineups are separated and there is no good connection, there is still something to look forward to, such as the cooperation between Sun Ce and Nash.
The main reason is that the preparation time before the season is too short. In the summer, the coaching staff studied how to match the lineup when Sun Ce and Nash are on the court at the same time. However, there is no running-in period and they can only slowly get the feeling during the regular season.
Fortunately, the Grizzlies' "roots" are still there, and their "roots" are defense!
Gasol's defensive efficiency in the first two games was a bit strong. His defensive efficiency of 6.4 in the two games was a whole level higher than Sun Ce's defensive efficiency of 5.3 last season!
Although the reference value of only two games is open to question, Gasol, who will turn 27 next month, really feels like he has entered his peak period after signing a big contract.
Other players have withered away after signing big contracts, but Gasol broke out after signing a big contract.
However, for the first two games of the Grizzlies, what the media discussed most was not Sun Ce’s scoring, not Nash’s improvement in the Grizzlies’ run-and-gun performance, or the pair of internal and external defensive giants Tony and Gasol. The performance of the gate is amazing, it is not the double emperor combination of Jordan and Yi Jianlian that is more coquettish...
It was Sun Ce's block!
After two games,
Sun Ce averaged 3.5 blocks per game!
He averaged 4.5 assists, 3.5 blocks and 1 steal per game. Just like at the beginning of last season, Sun Ce maintained his rookie year performance and steadily improved. This season, Sun Ce's characteristics have been shown again.
In an analysis article by a columnist of t.n.t TV station, he pointed out that Sun Ce has made steady progress again this season, just like the season when he won the MVP last season. He also pointed out that Sun Ce's scoring and rebounding may not be able to maintain the current high level. , but judging from the first two games, Sun Ce has completely improved on the basis of last season.
The topic was diverted by public opinion again, and as the discussion continued, it came to the topic of Sun Ce blocking at least three shots in two games.
But Sun Ce is not the first in the list of blocked shots. In the opening game of the Thunder's Christmas Day game, Perkins and Ibaka surrounded Howard. Ibaka slapped Howard three times, plus defensive blocks. Holiday blocked Thaddeus Young once, and blocked Thaddeus Young once. He had 5 blocks in a single game, ranking first in the blocks list.
Ibaka's progress is also very obvious. In that night's game, Ibaka and Howard performed equally!
So, Sun Ce and Ibaka were put together to discuss...
…
In the beginning of the back-to-back games, Sun Ce played two games in a row. After playing against the Trail Blazers, he practiced Nash's training method and fell asleep when he got home.
The next morning I woke up and after my morning run, I was reading the news while waiting for breakfast. I found that I was compared to a power forward!
"This Turner Sports station must be poisonous! Where are you talking about praising my grandson? How can I, a small point guard, be compared with a power forward?"
Sun Ce really wanted to grab this columnist by the neck and ask him clearly.
Sun Ce decisively scrolled back to the webpage, it would be better to read the battle report.
Love scored 28 points and 24 rebounds. Good guy. Sun Ce looked at Love's data and thought there was no one else.
Different from only 6 games on the first day, there were 11 games yesterday with 22 teams participating, several of which were back-to-back games.
This schedule is very tight.
And unlike previous seasons when many stars' statistics exploded at the start of the season, Love stood out in these two games at the beginning of this season. He was the only one whose statistics exploded. The others performed normally, at least not as much as 28+24.
Sun Ce feels that if Love really averages 26.7 points and 14.5 rebounds per game this season, even if the record is worse, he may still be in the best team.
Before the "anti-ancient era" of data came, Love's data in the Timberwolves in the past few years was terrible.
After browsing the game reports for a while, there was nothing too special. He noticed Jeremy Lin's performance in the opening game. This season, Jeremy Lin started the new season as the Knicks' starting point guard. He seemed to be gaining momentum, but Jeremy Lin's glass-like attributes... Sun Ce I hope not.
Although he is not familiar with Jeremy Lin, except for the kind of players who like to hurt others maliciously, Sun Ce does not want any players to get injured. Although this is unlikely, competitive sports is a profession where injuries are always present. You can get seriously injured playing table tennis. Not to mention basketball.
…
"Brother, where are we going?"
"To practice singing."
"Wow! Brother, that's amazing! You're not going to practice today!"
"...I don't practice every day. The atmosphere at the beginning of the season is too tense. I'm going to relax with my teammates."
"Is it your band? I've wanted to see it for a long time, but unfortunately there is no concert this year... Ouch, why are you hitting Juanjuan's head!"
"There's a mosquito on your head."
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old? Where are there mosquitoes in the middle of winter? And have you ever seen a mosquito bite your head?" Zu'e's face was angry again.
"Buddha."
"..."
After Sun Ce finished breakfast, he waited until more than 8 o'clock and woke up Zu'e who was sleeping in again. After she ate a milk bread, he took her to the recording studio where she had an appointment with her teammates.
The next game will be played the day after tomorrow. After playing a back-to-back, the coaching staff asked the players to rest for a day and prepare for the game tomorrow. On the 29th, the third of the four consecutive home games will be played. The opponent is the Thunder team that defeated the 76ers in the opening game.
The good news for the Grizzlies is that when they played against the Thunder, the Thunder was in the second game of a back-to-back.
However, this advantage is not big. The core lineup of the Thunder, except for Perkins, are all young players, and they don't need to rest like the Grizzlies in back-to-back games.
But the Grizzlies have two days of rest, so this aspect is not very important.
As for the research on the opponent, the Grizzlies have been studying the four opponents at the end of December as early as the end of the preseason. Sun Ce knows that Harden will improve a lot in his third year, but there is still a big difference between watching the game as a fan and playing as a player. I don't know how strong Harden is, and Harden's playing style during the Thunder period and the Rockets period do not look like the same person.
Durant, Westbrook, and Ibaka have improved again.
The Grizzlies have lineup changes, the opponent has improved in strength, and now it's the beginning of the season. Both sides don't know the current state of the opponent. Sun Ce thinks that it's OK to just go straight to work.
This season, Sun Ce feels like he has been preparing for the playoffs since the beginning of the regular season.
There will be very few opportunities to have two or three days off in the future. There may be only one in a month, or sometimes there may not be any. So there is no team training today, and Sun Ce also put aside personal training and practiced instruments and songs with his teammates.
…
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Sun Ce and Zu Ge arrived at the recording studio. Except for Gasol, who was building a greenhouse for his vegetable garden at home, and Gay, who left the Grizzlies, the other band members were all there.
Battier, Randolph, Yi Jianlian, and Jordan were in place. Nash, as a member of Randolph and Sun Ce's dance troupe, also came. In addition, Sun Ce's two younger brothers Jimmy Butler and Klay Thompson were asked to come over to do odd jobs. If they have talents in this area, they may be absorbed in the future.
When Sun Ce arrived, Jimmy and Klay were waiting for him to arrive, one holding a erhu and the other holding a bow.
"Hello, third brother." The two said in unison when they saw Sun Ce coming.
And it was in Chinese, which was specially taught by Sun Ce. The two practiced this word for a few days and they were able to pronounce it properly.
Sun Ce didn't want to be the eldest brother, as the responsibility was too great. The second brother didn't want to be the second brother either, as he had to take the blame. The third brother was just right.
After entering the recording studio, Sun Ce took the music from the two brothers: "Thank you, Klay, Jimmy, do you know any musical instruments?"
Sun Ce felt that these two little brothers were very capable. They would do whatever he taught them.
If the two knew what Sun Ce was thinking, they would want to cry... Did they want to? There was nothing they could do!
In the summer, Battier was instilling in Klay Thompson the idea that he had to listen to the bosses when playing in a strong team. Battier had good intentions, but Klay Thompson's father also played in the NBA, and he was originally a little worried about the "friendly and sinister" environment in the NBA.
In the NBA, when you play well and have a good reputation, people all over the world are friendly. When you play badly, no matter how famous you are, the whole world is sinister.
Jimmy Butler was abused by Sun Ce in one summer and no longer had the idea of disobeying Sun Ce's orders. At least before he had the strength to stand on his own, he wanted to stay with Sun Ce.
Being abused by an MVP, this kind of thing is a good thing in Jimmy Butler's eyes.
As for being a younger brother... it doesn't matter, Jimmy Butler has a strong mentality.
Hearing Sun Ce ask what musical instrument he can play, Jimmy Butler shook his head. When he was a child, he didn't just grow up in the slums, he was directly abandoned by his parents. But because they couldn't find where his mother was, the orphanage didn't accept him. If he hadn't been adopted by a middle school coach when he was in Los Angeles to make a living by shining shoes for others in his teens, he would probably have starved to death. At that time, he was already in the first year of high school and his body was as thin as a fifth or sixth grader.
Under such living conditions, Jimmy Butler had no hobbies in this area except for a few words of black hand.
Klay Thompson responded: "I learned to play the trumpet and chess in middle school."
When Sun Ce heard the trumpet, he thought of Yi Jianlian's suona...
Just when Sun Ce was about to decline the trumpet instrument, Zugou suddenly pushed Sun Ce's arm away with his head, let Sun Ce's arm rest on her shoulder, and got his head out of Sun Ce's side and said to Klay Thompson :"Amitabha."
Klay Thompson was stunned and immediately said: "Amitabha, save all sentient beings."
"..."
Sun Ce glanced speechlessly at Zugoose who was laughing non-stop after doing something bad. Klay Thompson didn't know why Zugoose was laughing.
Sun Ce felt a little bad, and suddenly he had an idea and said to Klay Thompson: "When others say Amitabha to you, just say 'Almsgiver's Mercy'. Come and let me teach you..."
After Sun Ce gave Klay Thompson a good education, Zu Goose, who had returned from a visit to the recording studio, approached Sun Ce and said, "Brother, how good are you!"
"Juanjuan, change an adjective. This adjective is weird."
"Ah? Why?"
"It's okay, as long as you like it..."
…
…
A relaxing singing practice day passed like this. It was said to be singing practice, but except for pointing to the moon, Sun Ce did not sing any other songs. He only sang accompaniment with his erhu.
With his chatty little sister here, Sun Ce didn't want to expose his singing voice that ordinary people didn't appreciate.
On the morning of the 28th, Sun Ce and his teammates began training to prepare for the Thunder game.
The training volume is not large. The overall training volume after the preseason this season is not large. Mainly due to the reduction in strength, aerobic and other aspects of training. Other technical training and tactical training are still as they should be, that is, maintaining The health of the players is the most important thing.
What relieved Coach Hollins was that the player he was most worried about during the lockout, Randolph, started to lose weight early this time because Battier was here. Battier had already been ten years overweight at the beginning of last season because of Randolph. I was prepared a few kilograms and pulled Randolph to lose weight early. At the end of the lockout, Randolph was in the best shape at the beginning of all seasons in his career, even better than his rookie season. This guy He was extremely fat at the beginning of his rookie season.
After the day's training, Sun Ce and several teammates stayed in the arena to watch the ESPN live broadcast of the Thunder's away game against the Heat.
The Thunder lost to the Heat 93 to 98.
Durant scored 30 points and 8 rebounds, including 8 rebounds, the highest in the game, but lost to the Heat led by James, who scored 34 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists.
Durant played a full 45 minutes in this game. This playing time arrangement is as unreasonable as possible. James only played 39 minutes.
Sun Ce felt that Durant was on the court for the whole game. He made 8 of 10 shots in the first half. By the end of the game, he was stunned and made 10 of 22 shots. In the second half, due to his physical decline and his opponent James, there was almost no change. The high-intensity defense made 2 of 12 shots throughout the game.
After watching the live broadcast of the game, Sun Ce discussed it with Teacher Tony, Gasol, Battier, and Paul George who were watching the game together, and confirmed Sun Ce's thoughts.
Durant's offensive flaws may also be irreparable flaws in the future and have not been improved. That is to say, in a game where he was anxious throughout and the coach used him to death, there is a high probability that he will not be able to maintain his condition. The whole game; but if his teammates play well and help him share the pressure for most of the early part of the anxious game, he can still be relieved.
But this is definitely a way to deal with Durant, who has fewer and fewer weaknesses on the offensive end. However, in this game, Harden came off the bench and played 30 minutes, Westbrook played 48 minutes, and the Thunder have three major players. star.
When it comes to strength, Sun Ce feels that they may not be as strong as the Heat. Of course, they are not necessarily weaker than the opponent. If they play a series, Sun Ce feels that if he does not have a star experience card, it is probably difficult to say who will lose and who will win. The Heat In the first two games, they averaged only one point per game and the opponents were the Mavericks and Thunder.
Sun Ce really feels that if the Thunder's three perimeter players with MVP potential are maintained, and the lineup of Ibaka on the inside + an excellent meat shield center stays, the Thunder will be too invincible in the future, and Harden is willing to play sixth people.
Sun Ce hopes that the Thunder management will continue their charming operations in terms of transactions...
After a day of preparations, Sun Ce and his teammates had the defensive framework laid out by the coaching staff, and several key players on the defensive end had their own discussions. They had ideas for dealing with the Thunder. I can’t say whether the effect was good or not. Anyway, there were tactical ideas. .
On the 29th, the Grizzlies held a tactical meeting in the morning to once again emphasize defense. The coaching staff also made some adjustments based on the Thunder's game last night.
During the afternoon break, Sun Ce returned home and took Zugoose to the gym, and warmed up with his teammates. At 4:40 in the evening, Sun Ce entered the stadium with his teammates...
…
"Because Scarlett Johansson came to the scene to cheer for the host, this woman is my second stage event trigger in the Little Bully's exclusive event."
"This woman is my second stage event (exclusive for small books):
Goal 1: The host needs to help the team gain a record advantage against the Thunder this season. Event reward: A level A lottery card.
If goal 1 is completed and the host team meets the Thunder in the playoffs, goal 2 is triggered: the host needs to help the team defeat the Thunder in the series. Event reward: Kevin Durant 2011-2012 version of the star experience card.
Failure penalty: If target 1 fails, one equipment owned by the host will be randomly deducted. If target 2 fails after triggering target 2, the S-level star experience card currently owned or obtained by the host in the future will be deducted. "
Just after entering the court, just after coming to the sidelines and hugging Black Widow who was happily chatting with Zu Ge, Sun Ce felt a gaze that seemed to want to eat him.
After discovering that it was the envious and jealous look of the guy who wanted to drink bath water, Sun Ce's system prompt came immediately!
Before Sun Ce had time to complain that Durant was still obsessed with Black Widow, another system prompt came! This made Sun Ce want to vomit blood!
"The host met Serge Ibaka, the strongest opponent for the block king, and the A-level season event: I am the block king was triggered..." (I don't want to be the boss..149149160)--(I don't want to be the boss)
