942. Beginning with Ends (Part 1)

The road to the triple pair seems to be a little unworkable!

After a few games, James's thinking became clearer and clearer.

Originally, Sun Ce's triple-double was fierce, and James's desire to win and playing style were destined to make him unable to brush the triple-double as happily as the future triple-double king.

And he can't play like Sun Ce.

Sun Ce is the most important point for the Grizzlies to get their current record, but it is not the necessary point.

The players the Grizzlies need are the Double Bears, the Ktoni Allen, the Double Emperor, the talented Double 3D, and the Nash ...... Without these people, Sun Ce's current strength and ability to lead the team are at most similar to Iguodala, and there are a few good teammates who can only play seventh or eighth in the Eastern Conference playoffs at most.

Sun Ce connects the whole team's offense and defense together, making the teammates cooperate better, which is the most critical point, but even without him, it is also the fourth and fifth place in the west, and Sun Ce is the upper limit.

And he, James, is not that type of player, and the roster that the Heat have built for him, for example, gives it his all on both ends of the floor, while also having to ensure scoring in the face of Wade's severe decline and frequent injuries to veteran players in the team during the shrinking season.

He's a superstar who keeps a team floor, but it's hard to raise a team's ceiling, and of course, his prime-time warranty ceiling is high enough, a divisional championship-level floor.

And he found that there is a huge hidden danger in the road of competing for a triple-double with Sun Ce, and a very important point is that he is not as easy to get a triple-double as Sun Ce, and he has a great disadvantage in grabbing rebounds.

But if you insist on getting a triple-double, James can do it, he is confident that as long as he is ruthless, it is no problem to get twenty or thirty triple-doubles in a season, not to mention more than Oscar Robertson, more than Chamberlain, he is still confident.

The main thing is that he is in his 9th season and Sun Cecai is in his 3rd season!

No, Barkley seized on this to attack him.

Whether he brushes rebounds or not, this is actually not the most important thing, the root of attacking him is that Sun Ce will surpass him in 3 seasons with triple-doubles, which allows Barkley to blame him for brushing rebounds, because indeed, it is unlikely that he will average 10+ rebounds per game like Sun Ce, and it also makes him not get more than 10 triple-doubles in the season when he averaged 8.6 assists per game.

It is precisely because he didn't brush the data before, and there are not many triple-doubles, which makes it extremely abrupt to brush the rebounds in the past two minutes.

And, with Barkley, there will certainly be others.

Then you have to go the other way!

James decided that he had to change direction and fight for something to increase his chances of winning the MVP.

Best Defensive Player?

It depends on luck, and James is not very confident.

Assist King ...... It's too late, it's not impossible to fight early.

James turned on the computer and looked at the data list on the NBA's official website, and finally, his eyes were fixed on the scoring list.

Wade and Mike Miller are more absent, although Maddy's arrival in the Heat team has strengthened the front line, but even if Maddy plays the starter, he will only have 10+3+4 strength, which is comprehensive, but if he is specifically responsible for which aspect, Maddy can't do it.

At present, Kobe Bryant ranks first with 29.1 points per game, Anthony ranks second with 29 points per game, and Durant ranks third with 28.8 points per game.

Fourth, he averaged 28.2 points per game.

……

……

After playing the Clippers, the Grizzlies continued to stay in Los Angeles, and Lily Collins also came to watch last night's game.

At this time, Sun Ce was very disgusted with the ancestral goose......

After Sun Ce woke up this morning, Lily Collins still had to sleep lazy, and in the past two days, she has been on the script with the big star Julianne Moore, a god-level actor who likes to make comedies but is very strict in everything, partnering with her, the things that are filmed must be good, but the mental pressure is called a big one, and I finally relied on my boyfriend to find a reason to come out and rest for a day, and I want to sleep well today.

Sun Ce got up early and came to the hotel restaurant for breakfast, and happened to meet Randolph.

"Zach heard you didn't go out last night to fool around? It's so rare. Sun Ce quipped.

"You think I'm like you? Playing away and calling my girlfriend to watch the game, I have to prepare for tomorrow night's game. Randolph's tone was one of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

"It's so handsome, I can't help it, but I think you're annoyed by your former girlfriend and don't have the heart to go out and have fun, right? She seems to have secretly gave birth to all the children from you, and if you go out to fool around again, you will probably be beaten to death by your wife, Funn's temper ......"

"Don't talk about this, I have a headache ......"

Sun Ce felt that Randolph was really miserable, when he went to Boston to play two years ago, he felt how good life was at Harvard University, and then every time he went to Boston to play away, he would go to have a good time, when the other party was on vacation, Randolph would also pay to invite the other party to play, and the other party didn't want Randolph's other money, and he really fell in love with him, who knew that the college student hadn't done safety measures for two years, and suddenly told him a while ago that his son was born, and if he didn't believe that he could do a DNA test......

Randolph's wife, Foun Randolph, is also a ruthless person, went to get the child back, and after bargaining, gave 10 million US dollars in breakup money, helping Randolph, whose public image is currently improving, to settle the matter, without causing a bigger turmoil, but also making Randolph's voice in the family plummet.

After Sun Ce knew about this, he felt that the top students just couldn't be provoked.

is still in college, and he can earn 10 million US dollars in two years, awesome!

After chatting with Randolph for a while, after breakfast, the two gathered with their teammates and coaches to prepare for the game at the Toyota Center, the Lakers' training hall......

……

……

The game against the Lakers entered the countdown to the Grizzlies' regular season, which was the 20th game of the Grizzlies' regular season this season.

The Grizzlies are starting the stage of really preparing for the playoffs.

It's just that this year is difficult, most of the players on their Grizzlies team are not the type of players who are very grass-tolerant, except for Sun Ce, there are only two grass-tolerant players, one is Randolph and the other is Nash, and Randolph is also 31 years old and has a few months to turn 32; Nash is 38 years old.

The good thing is that the team can be rested in rotation and the squad depth is good.

But there are also good and bad rotations, no, the last time I played against the Lakers this season, I tasted the impact of the rotation on the team's state.

Nash was also average today, with 13 points and five assists, compared to the Grizzlies' 19 assists as a team and the Lakers' 26 assists.

The only advantage on the Grizzlies' side is rebounding, they Grizzlies have 44 rebounds in the game, the Lakers have 40, and the other positive statistics are all Lakers dominance, the highest score is Kobe Bryant's 28 points, the highest assist is Paul's 12, and the most blocks are not Sun Ce, but Da Gasol, 4 blocks.

In terms of turnovers and fouls, the Grizzlies had 15 turnovers and 16 fouls.

In fact, at the beginning, the Grizzlies' offense was okay, but the defensive connection was not good enough, not that Sun Ce didn't make up for it fast enough, but there were problems in the first few games, the offense played well, and the defense was a little slack.

And the Lakers are obviously not comparable to the Raptors, Wizards, Kings, Trail Blazers, and Clippers, impatience means that it is easy to make flaws, Paul and Pau Gasol, Odom The three offensive masters took the opportunity to lead the team to open up the point difference in one fell swoop, and the Grizzlies fell behind by 16 points after halftime.

The key is that Sun Ce has always played well, he doesn't know what else he needs to do better, and using a star experience card is not a good choice, he has 15 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists in the half, which is too good to be better.

Until the halfway point of the fourth quarter, Sun Ce was replaced, and the Grizzlies surrendered, although Sun Ce, who played 39 minutes, got 26 points, 13 boards, 11 assists and 2 blocks, but there were 6 turnovers, 96-115, the Grizzlies lost 19 points, and the 6-game winning streak was ended by the Lakers, this 6-game winning streak began with the Lakers, and finally the Lakers.

……

……

The loss to the Lakers was a wake-up call for the Grizzlies.

After returning to the hotel after the game, the whole team went to Coach Hollins' room for a meeting.

After some discussion, the team's belief was strengthened and some things were clarified.

They are currently 38-9, an incredible 80 percent win rate, and an 80 percent win rate after just one game loss, which is unimaginable in this shrinking season.

Before the season, it was predicted that there would be no team with 50 wins this season, because the last time the season was shortened, the best record was 37 wins for the 50-game schedule.

And their Grizzlies look like they're on their way to a 55-win run.

Sometimes it's too easy to win games and I didn't feel much before, but after this team meeting, they realized one thing.

With such a deep squad, there will be fluctuations in form, and other teams will naturally do the same.

So, some of the games that they were not in good shape and difficult to win were won easily, and the opponents may have been in very poor shape at that time, and their form was poor, and their advantage came back.

And they made a trade in the middle of the season, replaced two substitutes, and signed a big man pitcher, to say that the integration into the team is still not completely integrated, and sometimes it really affects the performance of others, just because of the shrinking season, the state of other teams is also unstable, injuries, trades, fatigue and other factors, resulting in the whole league in the regular season have been affected.

And they have been winning, and before this loss to the Lakers, their 17-2 record in 19 games was so dazzling that they themselves ignored it.

This made Sun Ce and others vigilant, and they couldn't be careless just because they won too much.

Especially Sun Ce, he has seen the most terrifying regular season record in history and lost the championship.

But when you understand this kind of thing, it doesn't matter much, just calm down and play the next game.

Losing to the Lakers is not a big deal, they have won the Lakers twice before, and they have the advantage in the regular season, even if they win first and then lose, it does not cause psychological pressure on the Lakers' side, and they will not have a psychological disadvantage on their side.

And losing this game made them vigilant, and it was also a good thing to think on the bright side.

Of course, there is also pressure, and the Lakers' four stars with a super role player roster are not easy to deal with in the playoffs.

……

In this game with the Lakers, Sun Ce got a triple-double in four consecutive games, but lost, although he was not attacked by public opinion, his performance in 9 of 20 shots was very good, but it also made him understand that his strength is still not enough.

Once teammates don't play well, they don't hang up, and the feeling is not explosive, such as the opening game against the Spurs, it really can't be better.

But in addition to playing well last night, there was another reason why I didn't use the star experience card, that is, it was unnecessary.

Sun Ce thought that this game against Paul would continue to trigger that SS-level event, but it didn't, it seems that he had to wait until the playoffs to play against Paul, after all, the regular season event had already been triggered, but it just failed.

On the morning of the second day after playing the Lakers, Sun Ce said goodbye to Lily Collins, and brought Zu Geese to Minneapolis with the team, and the last game of the 5-game away game was played away to the Timberwolves on the 28th.

Last night's Grizzlies and Lakers game was the favorite, and there was another favorite game in the East, the Heat and Bulls, James didn't get a triple-double, giving Sun Ce a two-point lead over James in career triple-doubles.

However, the Heat also won last night, defeating the Bulls and winning 6 in a row! James Hao scored 45 points, 11 assists, 6 rebounds and 4 steals!
