986. Advance to the second round!

On the night Sun Ce won the MVP, the Grizzlies were full of momentum and played quite beautiful defense.

95-81, the Grizzlies won two consecutive victories, won the battle of Tianwang Mountain, and played the big score to 3-2!

In this game, Sun Ce played 44 minutes, scored 27 points, 14 boards, 7 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals on 10-of-25 shooting, and played a physical potion at halftime.

The Mavericks played the worst offense of the entire series tonight, and the Mavericks did a good job defensively, but their shooting performance was too poor.

After tying the deficit at 3-2, the Grizzlies will travel to Dallas again tomorrow to play Game 6 of the series on the 12th.

The night also featured games between the Thunder and Nuggets, the 76ers and the Celtics, and the Bulls and Hawks.

The Thunder eliminated the Nuggets 4-1 to advance to the second round, and the Bulls also defeated the Hawks 4-1 to advance to the second round; The 76ers won the Battle of Kings Mountain and are about to travel to Boston to play Game 6 of the series.

It's May 11th, another big day in the NBA, and the draft draw will take place today.

Sun Ce was ready to wait for the results to be seen in the evening, and when he arrived in Dallas, he and his teammates went to the American Airlines Center to prepare for the game.

This year's lottery has nothing to do with their Grizzlies, they have their own first-round pick this year, but only the 30th pick, and there is no need to even discuss who is great, if you want to know some rookies, you can wait until the summer league to find out.

Finally went from falling behind 0-1 all the way to leading 3-2, and now Sun Ce wants to win the first round away from home!

Not only Sun Ce, but his teammates also think the same, if they want to chase after the victory, if they really drag it to tie seven, if they are unlucky and are hacked, it will be a shame for their lives!

So far in the series, both sides have a clear understanding of the strength of their opponents, and the ball quotient of the players of the two teams is not low, so they can have some judgment on what kind of game choices the opponent is likely to make under what circumstances.

At this stage, it is to fight for feel, physical strength, and tactical execution!

It's hard to say how it feels, but I don't know until the game.

The physical Grizzlies have a huge advantage.

In terms of tactical execution, the Grizzlies have one of the best tactical execution on the defensive end in the league, the Mavericks have better offensive execution and no worse defensive execution, and the Grizzlies have to suffer a little.

However, there may be unexpected situations in the feel and tactical execution, but not in physical strength!

Sun Ce has a lot of confidence in himself and his teammates.

An afternoon of preparation time passed, and in the evening, after dinner with Lily Collins and Zu Geese, we watched a comedy variety show and relaxed.

Before going to practice the Nash training method at 9 o'clock, Sun Ce looked at the draw results.

Originally, Sun Ce thought that this time the champion pick might be taken by the Bobcats, because the Bobcats were 6-60 and the league's last place, if the Bobcats couldn't get the top pick, it would look really pitiful, this is the worst win rate and lowest win in NBA history.

However, even if the Bobcats were so miserable, the champion lottery did not fall on their heads.

With 18 wins and 48 losses, the Hornets, who are the first to last in the West and the second to last in the league, once again got the champion sign, although the Bobcats were still unlucky to get the champion sign this time, but they were not as unlucky as before, and they finally got the list sign.

The Cavaliers got the No. 3 pick, the Wizards No. 4 pick, the Suns No. 5 pick, the Nets No. 6 pick, the Kings No. 7 pick, the Pistons No. 8 pick, the Raptors No. 9 pick, the Trail Blazers No. 10 pick, the Magic No. 11 pick, the Timberwolves No. 12 pick, the Rockets No. 13 pick, and the Warriors No. 14 pick.

Among them, the Nets' No. 6 pick was given to the Trail Blazers when they traded Gerard Wallace, and the Rockets' No. 13 pick was given to the Nuggets when they traded Anthony, and it was reversed to the Warriors.

Sun Ce looked at the dazzling map of the final ownership of the draft picks and didn't look carefully.

Anyway, he knew that the Hornets would be right to get another first-round pick.

If he can get the top pick, there is no doubt that Anthony Davis of the University of Kentucky will be selected.

This intrigued Sun Ce, James seems to have hooked up with Griffin, Love, Irving, and now multiple Anthony Davis?

To the point where James is not worried about teaming up with them, Griffin, Love, and Anthony Davis, these three are two partners on the inside...... It looks like it's as bad as it gets, it's as bad as it gets, and by the time Anthony Davis was in his prime, both Love and Griffin were past their prime.

Sun Ce is looking forward to what the NBA, which has long since become unpredictable, will develop, so he is also curious to see what the Hornets with Irving and Anthony Davis will look like.

……

On May 12, 2012, at 9:28 p.m., at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, a game had just ended.

After the game, the fans gave the opponent a round of applause, and some regretted that they could not continue in the defending season, but the Mavericks fans were not very disappointed, and the shortened season was too unfriendly for them.

Carlisle looked at Sun Ce and the others who were celebrating opposite, and sighed helplessly.

It's just a little bit less, it's not that tonight's 97-103 loss to the Grizzlies is only 6 points away, but in the first three games, they could have hoped for a 3-0 lead!

Carlisle knew from the start that the Grizzlies would definitely opt for attrition tactics, and that was a clear thing.

If there is a choice, Carlisle will not choose eighth, but the situation at that time is that there is no choice, can only strategically make dangerous moves, if the Grizzlies are killed, the second round can play the Thunder, from the regular season to show the strength, the Thunder is the weakest in the top four in the West, when the time comes, you can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, laugh and watch the Spurs and Lakers fight to the death.

Their Mavericks almost accomplished their goal, grabbing home-court advantage in the first game of the first round on the road, and winning the first game on their home court.

However, the second away away was a little bit, just a little bit, and was ruined by Sun Ce's 50+ triple-double!

If it is as envisaged and the Grizzlies take a surprise and then lead 3-0, even if the Grizzlies have the strength to win, their Mavericks will lead 3-0 and basically lock in the Black Eight.

So in the first three games, the Mavericks fought hard in each game, Carlisle knew that they couldn't afford it, and quick wins were their forte, but they didn't beat Sun Ce in the second game.

Lost one and ended up losing the entire series.

In fact, Carlisle already knew after losing Game 4 of the series that when the home-court advantage was taken back by the Grizzlies, it was basically over, and he was just expecting an explosion of role player form like Game 3.

But apparently not.

In the game that just ended, Sun Ce played 35 minutes, 8 of 18 shots, including 2 of 6 three-pointers, plus 5 of 6 free throws, and got 23 points, 11 boards, 7 assists and 2 blocks.

In the end, relying on Sun Ce's average of 40 minutes per game in 6 games, averaging 33.5 points, 14 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 3.5 blocks per game, the Grizzlies reversed the Mavericks 4-2 and advanced to the second round.

Looking at the big score of 4 to 2 on the away screen, Sun Ce can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It's so hard!

In the 6 games, except for the 5th game where the Mavericks played poorly offensively, they Grizzlies won a little easier, and Sun Ce felt that the other five games were too difficult, and each game was fought to the end, and the loss was carried over.

Carlisle's side regretted losing the second game and losing the whole game, and Sun Ce is now also afraid, if he didn't win the second game, it would be over.

But in the end, they won! Defeated the defending champion Mavericks to reach the second round!

Nowitzki and Yao Ming were sorry that they were going fishing, but they could afford to lose because they had already won the championship last year.

After the final whistle blew, I saw Sun Ce, Randolph, Nash and others celebrating with their teammates and walking towards them, and Nowitzki and others also greeted and congratulated.

Nowitzki, Yao Ming, Conley and others hugged and congratulated the Grizzlies players and left first, while Sun Ce, Randolph, Yi Jianlian, Nash and others were interviewed after the game.

Since the series is over, the Grizzlies have opened up interviews, and now they can say whatever they want, and the winners are right, but not necessarily, and sometimes there are some very weird media.

Sun Ce was asked a lot of strange questions here, and there was actually "Is it beneficial for us to prepare for the Olympics that Yao Ming was eliminated in the playoffs early", and when asked this question, Sun Ce stared at the domestic reporter for a long time.

He was curious, what kind of brain circuitry could come up with such a question? It's a tactical genius.

But the whole is okay, only occasionally there are one or two wonderful.

After the interview, Sun Ce turned on the system screen.

"Avenger's Gift (Exclusive to the Small Ben): The second phase of the Avengers' Ambition event,

Goal: The host needs to beat the Mavericks in the playoffs this season, if the host team advances to the next round, but the Mavericks do not advance, the goal is considered complete; If the Mavericks advance to the next round, but the host team does not, it is considered a goal failure. (Completed)

Congratulations to the host for getting the reward: Skill Card: Golden Rooster Independent Level 1. ”

Although it's a pity that I didn't get the Nuo Tianwang card, the skills are in hand!

Sun Ce couldn't wait to read the skill description.

"Golden Rooster Independent (Level 1 to be activated): It can be activated when the host is proficient in the Nowitzki-style Golden Rooster Independent Jump Shot."

"Nidano!"

I thought I could use it right away! But it's still the same as before.,Skills are bonuses.,You have to practice your own skills.。。

In addition to this, there is another hint, and the event hint of the opponent of the second round, the Thunder!

It's been two years, and I've finally played the Thunder in the playoffs!
