1122. Thunder Rising! (Part 2)

The Thunder are on a 7-game winning streak, Noah, why do you think we always have opponents who are winning in a streak? ”

"Heaven will descend on people, and they will suffer their hearts......"

When God wants to give someone something great, does he need to use difficulties to hone that person's heart and make it strong? Noah, I know that you Chinese are literate, don't show it, okay? ”

Looking at Randolph's disgust, Sun Ce wanted to complain - my old grandson can't pretend to be a force!

However, Randolph does not reject literate people, but wants to become a literate person, and has recently started reading.

The reason is that his eldest son is 5 years old, and when he asks him questions, he can't answer.

After chatting with Randolph for a while, after the break, Sun Ce and his teammates had the second 40-minute training session this morning, which was also the last preparation session of the day.

The day before yesterday, the Thunder just ended the Spurs' winning streak and increased their winning streak to 7 games, in the past two years, the Grizzlies, Bulls, 76ers three youth teams have risen, and now, the media saw the Thunder's opening performance and began to blow the Thunder.

The Thunder played very well at the beginning, averaging 107 points per game, conceding 94.7 points per game, and scoring more than 12 points per game.

……

After a day of preparation, at 8 p.m., the Grizzlies' away game against the Thunder began.

This time the best two young teams in the West met and the Grizzlies lost!

82-93, the Grizzlies lost to the Thunder on the road, ending their three-game winning streak.

Westbrook had 18 points, seven rebounds and 10 assists, Durant had 29 points and six boards, and Ellis scored 15 points off the bench.

On the Grizzlies' side, Sun Ce shot 11 of 26, including 2 of 9 three-pointers, plus 9 of 11 free throws, although he scored more than Durant and scored 33 points, but the game was lost.

The Grizzlies' defense has done a good job, Sun Ce got 14 boards, 4 blocks and 1 steal, proving that the Grizzlies are really doing a good job defensively, this is the first time this season that the Thunder team has scored less than 100 points in a single game, but the Grizzlies' own offense is very bad.

In addition to Sun Ce's 33 points, he only had 4 assists, and Nash only had 6 points and 2 assists.

The Thunder's defense did a very good job, under the leadership of Ibaka, who got 8 points, 8 rebounds and 5 blocks, he cut off the connection between Sun Ce and his teammates, Sun Ce played 37 minutes and shot 26 times, if you count 5 times to go to the free throw line is the opponent's foul, Sun Ce made a full 31 shots, but only 4 assists.

Obviously, through last year's playoff encounters and this season's observation and study of the Grizzlies, the Thunder have found a way to deal with the Grizzlies!

……

……

Lost the first time against the Thunder in the new season, how many blows did it to the Grizzlies...... This is really nothing, losing is definitely going to lose, the first time they meet, it is even more difficult to control, compared to the Thunder team who regard their Grizzlies as their biggest opponent, the Grizzlies have more strong opponents to focus on.

But the pressure has definitely gotten higher!

A team like the Thunder with two super talents has a winning streak, which is nothing special, and their Grizzlies have had a winning streak in the 10-11 season, but after actually playing each other and losing, the Thunder have also become the focus of the Grizzlies in the playoffs.

After the Grizzlies returned to their hotel after the game, the coaching staff held a postgame conference to analyze tonight's game.

Durant has been improving every year, and this season has improved again, in the 10-11 season, Durant's shooting percentage has stabilized at about 46 percent, no matter how good or bad the start is, the final shot is almost like this; Last season, Durant shot steadily around 48 percent; This season, it has steadily exceeded 50 percent shooting, such as tonight, 12 of 24 shots, a steady beep.

So far this season, Durant has averaged 29.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, and Durant has also improved a lot in terms of ball handling, but Sun Ce saw that although Durant's ball control has improved, it is only B+, and his passing is only B+, which is also in line with Durant's average of 4.2 assists per game but 3.8 turnovers.

On the Westbrook side, the painting style is completely off, and after the start of the new season, counting the game with their Grizzlies, he averaged 18 points, 9.5 boards, 9.4 assists and 2.9 steals per game!

Westbrook doesn't seem to care about scoring at all in regular time, and the four aspects of defensive rebounding, shrinking defense, steals, and passing are all in full swing.

In terms of assists, Westbrook is second only to Paul of the Lakers and Rondo of the Clippers, ranking third in the league!

It ranks 15th in the league in rebounding and 18th in scoring.

Westbrook is the only player in the league to rank in the top 20 in all three major stats.

And when it comes to the critical moment, Westbrook dares to throw!

Westbrook's style of play, teammates like Durant, and Ellis, who averaged 19 points per game on the bench, made Sun Ce feel that he was a good fit for the Thunder.

The main thing is that there is Durant, who is not afraid of Westbrook's sticky balls and has a strong ability to catch the pot.

Ellis, playing on a strong team, feels very different, and seems to be back to the 06-08 season when the Warriors had a good record, averaging 19 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists per game, becoming a pure scorer, daring to throw outside, cutting sharp, and pulling the lever under the basket......

Ellis is definitely not comparable to Harden this season, but compared to Harden last season, Ellis is definitely stronger.

Ellis, who is stronger than Harden last season, plus Dewey Sanshao, who continues to improve, plus a high-quality role player roster built with a rookie contract of four fewer in previous years...... Sun Ce feels that the Thunder may indeed be their strongest opponent in the West.

However, after returning to the room after the meeting, Sun Ce's attention was not on how strong the Thunder team was this season, and when he played, there were not many events triggered as when he played against the Thunder in the past three seasons, and there was only one long-term event, which was a triple-double with Westbrook.

So far this season, Sun Ce has not had a triple-double, and Westbrook has had two triple-doubles, and Sun Ce doesn't care much about this.

But at the end of the game, Sun Ce received a system prompt!

"Kevin Durant won his first game against the host after the start of the new season, and he was very excited, trying to turn the fans' perception of the host and its reputation and status this season, as well as in the minds of Scarlett Johansson, the little overlord's small book exclusive event: This woman is mine (3) trigger."

After watching this incident again, Sun Ce didn't know how to complain about Durant.

This guy, except for playing well, is really no different from ordinary people, and even a very silky category among ordinary people.

Not as good at managing himself as James, not as old-school as Kobe Bryant, not even with Curry's tenacious determination......
