The Mavericks, for their part, did a good job both offensively and defensively tonight.

Taking advantage of the Grizzlies' positional battle, the offense is missing Gasol Jr., a key high-post setter, and the rotation lineup is missing Nash, the core, which limits the Grizzlies very well.

In addition to Sun Ce's 27 points, 8 boards, 8 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal on 9-of-20 shooting, the Grizzlies only scored a double-double on 5-of-13 shooting.

The Mavericks' team offense played beautifully, and the Mavericks have mostly veterans this season, and many of them are veterans who have not won the championship, and they have strong adjustment ability.

Despite their hard work, the Grizzlies were defeated.

25-9, after the Grizzlies lost to the Mavericks, some media joked that it was unlikely that the Grizzlies would surpass the Bulls' 72-win record.

But that's not all......

After playing the Mavericks, Sun Ce and his teammates arrived at San Antonio the next morning......

……

Arriving in San Antonio at 9:30 a.m., the coaching staff told the players to rest in the hotel for the morning and then go to the ATT center in the afternoon to prepare for the game.

Sun Ce was ready to sleep on the sofa, he didn't participate in the interview after the game last night, and practiced the Nash training method, Sun Ce was not physically tired, but he was very tired psychologically.

In the past 12 days, he has played 7 games, and he is about to play back-to-back tonight, not to mention his teammates, Sun Ce himself has a mood of slacking off.

At this time, Zu Ge got into Sun Ce's arms and handed the mobile phone screen to Sun Ce's eyes: "Brother, the Spurs are the first in the West!" ”

Spurs first in the West?

it!

Sun Ce took a look, just last night, the Thunder lost and were defeated by the Heat, and the Heat won 8 in a row; But the Spurs slaughtered the 76ers 131-101 in Game 1 of their home back-to-back games last night.

The Thunder's record became 26-9 and fell to second in the West, while the Spurs' record improved to 27-9, surpassing the Thunder to first place in the West!

Sun Ce hurriedly opened the event section prompted by the system.

"Top Sniper (A):

Goal: The host must win the match every time they meet the first place in the East or West.

Event Reward: Every time the host defeats the first place in the East or West, they will receive a random Player Star Experience Card for that team this season.

Defeat Penalty: This event is terminated when the host loses a match against the first place in the East or West, and the host will enter a cold state of the same number of matches when the host team loses the number of points.

New opponent trigger: San Antonio Spurs. ”

This...... There was originally an event of the "Peak Demon King", and in the next three battles with the Spurs, he had to win, otherwise he would not be able to trigger the final event of "being the enemy of the strongest system", and he would not be able to get the skill "Demon Knife Out of the Body", which was transformed by Ginobili's characteristics.

Now, the importance of this game against the Spurs has never been greater!

It's not just whether there is a chance to trigger the final event, if it really fails to trigger, Sun Ce will regret it, and the degree of regret is relatively deep.

But if the "top sniper" event is not completed, lose 1 point, 1 game feels cold, if you lose 10 points?

Sun Ce didn't dare to continue thinking about it!

"What does Durant eat? Pounded by James again? ”

……

In the lunch incident, Sun Ce gnawed the beef as Durant, eager to eat it alive.

When will it be overtaken by the Spurs, it will not be at this time!

After lunch, Sun Ce and Zu Ge followed the team to the ATT arena for a tactical meeting.

When playing the Rockets, they led by 16 points and replaced the main team, and played the Mavericks to rest two core players in rotation for tonight's game.

On the Grizzlies' side tonight, except for Tony Allen, who was affected by a shoulder injury, he couldn't play, and Coach Hollins was ready to let the other main players play all the time!

This is good news for Sun Ce.

Of course, the team's arrangement is something that Sun Ce expected.

Unlike the Mavericks, the Spurs are the Grizzlies' most direct rival to defend their title.

Compared with the young Thunder and the Lakers, who have lost their dominance on the inside, the Spurs are obviously more difficult to deal with in the playoffs.

The Mavericks have shown a lot to be reckoned with in the playoffs, but similar to the Celtics in the past two years, they are great, but they don't necessarily come across.

Tonight their Grizzlies are the second game of a back-to-back, and the disadvantage is not very big, and the Spurs are also back-to-back, but their Grizzlies are back-to-back on the road, and it is the second back-to-back in a back-to-back of 4 games in 5 days.

Coach Hollins has been very careful to make rotation adjustments, trying to minimize the impact of the tight schedule and minimize the impact of injuries.

There was also the tactics on the defensive end, and the coaching staff did their best to think of the best way to think of it for the time being.

Sun Ce is very satisfied with the situation of the team, but can he win......

……

After the tactical meeting, Sun Ce and his teammates had a defensive running training session, which was a defensive coordination training for the Grizzlies coaching staff to deal with the Spurs' passing and cutting style after playing the Warriors.

It's hard to say how well it can be defended, but it's the best way to come up with the brains of the team's coaching staff and the players who defend well.

After training, we take a break, eat at 4:30 a.m., warm up at 5:30 p.m., and prepare for the 8 p.m. broadcast of the game in the United States.

Sun Ce opened the prop space, and the props that directly played an effect this season, that is, the probability of obtaining the star experience card became lower, and more of them became skill cards and other props that were of great help to his own strength but could not have an explosive effect.

Sun Ce didn't know why this change occurred, he guessed that it might be because he had passed the "novice period", and now he was in the growth period, so the rewards he got were different.

Of course, this is a good thing for Sun Ce, this season with so much pressure and heavier responsibilities than before, he can still maintain the speed of progress, relying on the change of the type of props rewarded by the learning machine.

But when it really came to the point of death, there was no good way except to rely on yourself.

At present, Sun Ce has physical fitness potions to use, as well as a Jordan card and an A-level designated type lottery card.

Jordan card, Sun Ce doesn't want to use it so much, this card is ready to be used when the playoffs are going to play the Lakers or the Spurs or the Thunder.

A-level designated type lottery card Sun Ce has been useless, originally wanted to specify a skill upgrade card, but the skill upgrade card is a special card, not a separate type, so Sun Ce used this as a backup, in case there is a more needed type of prop.

"Give it a go, if you can get the ball pick-and-roll expert to level 5......"
