988. The advantage is in the low position! (Part 2)
At 4 p.m. on the 15th, the Grizzlies' two-day preparation was over, and after the coaching staff informed them of the assembly time for tomorrow morning, they let the players go home and rest.
After the disbandment, Sun Ce took a shower, changed his clothes and came to the parking lot to prepare to go home, when Sun Ce saw a sneaky figure near his car and looked around.
"Russell, what are you doing?" Sun Ce asked speechlessly, why is this guy like a thief? It's like I'm afraid of being seen by someone who loves to drink bathwater.
looked around again, and saw that there were indeed no teammates and no reporters secretly taking pictures, and greeted Sun Ce: "Lord, I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and we finally met in the playoffs." ”
Hearing this, Sun Ce's mood was also surging, in fact, he has been waiting for three years to play the playoffs with the Thunder!
He is looking forward to playing against the Thunder in his rookie season, after all, Westbrook, Harden, Durant, and Ibaka are shortening the time on the same team day by day, playing one less game, and Sun Ce really regrets it if he misses it.
Even if they separate in the future, all three of them have MVP strength, but there are still many people who regret that they can't stay on the same team all the time, and Sun Ce is also one of the people who regret it.
But of course, he was unforgiving, mainly because the opponent was Westbrook, Sun Ce raised his eyebrows: "Waiting to lose to me?" ”
Westbrook was not annoyed, but smiled: "This is not necessarily, it may be us who have the last laugh!" ”
"Then we'll wait and see, and we'll see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
After a few simple conversations, Westbrook left as if he had never been here.
Sun Ce didn't take the initiative to talk too much, and he had known each other for a few years and knew Westbrook's character.
It's finally time to play against the Thunder in the playoffs, and Sun Ce finds that he can't calm down now!
……
When I got home, I played bullfighting with Zu Ge who suddenly wanted to play basketball for a while, and when Zu Gee was about to cry, Sun Ce kept Zu Ge clean and 10 blocks in a single game, destroying Zu Gee's basketball dream.
Back in the living room, Zu Ge said angrily: "It's too much! Brother! Can't you let me do it? ”
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to." Sun Ce looked at the ancestral goose whose face was bulging into a bun, it was too cute, let him do it again, he would definitely give 10 more caps.
"Can lying be less fake? Look at you on purpose. ”
"Okay, okay, help my brother pinch his shoulder, turn on the TV, the game between the Heat and the Knicks is about to start, by the way, pour me a glass of water, and let Lily prepare more meat for me tonight......"
Zu Ge looked at Sun who had just bullied her and started to instruct her to do this and that, and her mentality was about to collapse, but ...... I still did it, when she came to the United States to join Sun Ce, she wanted someone to take care of her, but in fact, this unreliable brother will move her back to the room and put her on the bed when she falls asleep, and she is taking care of this unlucky brother in other situations!
Zu Geese felt that she was bearing a responsibility that she should not have at her age......
……
In the evening, I watched the first game of the second round between the Heat and the Knicks, the Lakers and the Spurs.
The Heat still won, and the defense of the two teams made Sun Ce feel hairy and too rough.
78-75, the Heat narrowly won by 3 points, the two teams scored this point, it was spicy, the Heat only had two double-doubles, James's 28 points and Wade's 25 points, and then the highest was Maddy who scored 3 3-pointers to get 9 points, and the Knicks had 4 people score double-doubles, the highest was Stoudemire's 16 points.
The two teams combined for 95 rebounds, with the Knicks having 53 of them and the Heat having only 42, with Bynum scoring 14 points and 22 rebounds in a single game.
Fortunately, James and Wade, the two difficult free throws, made free throws very accurately today, James made 8 of 9 free throws, and Wade made all 8 free throws, which is considered a super level of performance.
The first game of the Lakers and Spurs was different, the offense was very beautiful, tied at 106 in regulation time, and the last 25 seconds were very beautiful.
Kobe Bryant first received the ball from Pau Gasol after Paul passed it to Pau Gasol and hit a three-point shot, making the score 106-104 and a quasi-final shot.
But Ginobili broke through to Guy, and Guy, who had been outstanding on the key ball, hit a two-point whistle shot from the baseline and dragged it into overtime.
The overtime was also good, with a 17-13 run in five minutes as the Lakers beat the Spurs 123-119.
In this game, it was not Kobe Bryant, nor Guy or Parker who got the highest score, but Duncan......
Duncan played 44 minutes in this game, shooting 14-of-25 from the field, 3-of-5 from the free-throw line, and slashing 31 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.
Parker had 27 points, Guy also had 23 points, and Ginobili had 12 points, 13 rebounds and six assists...... Ginobili's rebounds were the highest in the game.
But the Spurs lost at center, with Split and Blair combined for two points, and the rebounds combined were less than Guydo, who both had six rebounds.
On the Lakers' side, Kobe Bryant scored 28 points, Paul 15 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, Pau Gasol 19 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists, Odom 10 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, and the key two wonder players Brand and Sessions came off the bench to score 30 points.
Brand and Sessions, Sun Ce felt a headache when he looked at it, and it would be too difficult to meet the Lakers who played as a substitute in the West.
Sessions is a very good defender with starting quality; If Brand is holding 20 million, he must be a garbage contract, but with a base salary with the Lakers, he averaged 11 points and 7 boards per game in the first round, and he seems to be much more valuable.
Mainly with Paul, Kobe gave up holding the ball, and Pau Gasol reduced the playmaking role, so that Paul could drive all the role players who could shoot.
Sessions averaged 1.1 three-pointers per game, not much, but he shot 45 percent from three-point range, and Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol also improved their shooting percentages.
Paul + Pau Gasol guaranteed the Lakers' lower limit of strength, and Kobe Bryant raised the ceiling......
And on the Spurs' side, Duncan was so coquettish in the playoffs, he was already coquettish in the first round, playing an average of 22 minutes per game with 14 points, 8 boards, 2.5 assists, 1 steal and 1.5 blocks, and even more in the second round against the Lakers.
The game between the Heat and the Knicks Zu Ge and Lily Collins didn't watch it and wasn't interested, but the Lakers game was very interested, and after watching it, Lily Collins asked, "Noah, who do you think the Lakers or the Spurs can enter the Western Conference finals?" ”
"I want to play against the Lakers, but I want the Spurs to be ......" Sun Ce can't say for sure, these two teams are too strong!
With Gay's Spurs and Paul's Lakers, if it weren't for the Spurs having no meat shield center, and the Lakers losing Bynum and not finding a good small forward, these two teams would be invincible!
Relatively speaking, Sun Ce feels that it is better to play the Spurs, and the flaws in the Spurs' center position are more fatal than the flaws in the Lakers' small forward position.
……
……
At 5 p.m. on May 16, after the final preparations, the two teams began to warm up, and at 7:30 p.m., after the warm-up, Sun Ce and his teammates entered the court together.
Looking at the black widow who was eating ancestral goose tofu on the sidelines, Sun Ce was speechless.
This chick pulls hatred for him again!
This morning, Scarlett Johansson came to Memphis to ask Lily Collins for tickets, and now she is so popular that she came to watch the game, which naturally attracted the attention of the media, and then she taunted Durant again......
"As the saying goes, the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring, find an opportunity to let this prodigal hoof repay it well......"
But who makes Durant mouth owe?
This morning, Durant was interviewed when he was preparing for the game at the FedEx Arena, and the media naturally did things if they could, asking Durant about Scarlett Johansson.
Then Durant became even more jealous of his grandson.
No, as soon as he scored on the field, Sun Ce felt the cannibalistic gaze of the opposite side.
Sun Ce knows why Westbrook came to chat with him at the end of training yesterday afternoon, except that the two teams were hyped as sworn enemies by the media as early as the beginning of last season, and the most important thing is Durant.
But Sun Ce doesn't care very much, since he first entered the NBA, Durant has had a grudge against him for taking his wife, and he has long been used to it.
And then there are things that will make Durant even more envious, jealous and hateful.
Unlike the previous regular season MVP announced at the end of the first round, this time the MVP was announced after the fourth game of the first round, but the MVP award before the game, the Grizzlies did not do it in the first round, and they had not yet advanced.
But this is the promotion, of course, and the award has to be awarded.
Chris Wallace once again took over the boss's duties, and after the players of both teams entered, there was another wave of speeches, and finally said: "...... Congratulations to our World's Best Player Lord Noah, who has once again won the Regular Season MVP! ”
Sun Ce came to the court, received the MVP trophy from Chris Wallace under the blazing eyes of Westbrook and Durant opposite, and enjoyed the cheers of the audience!
……
After the MVP award and Sun Ce won the MVP, the Grizzlies' season ticket award was over, and the two teams made final pre-game preparations, and at 8 p.m., the game began.
The Grizzlies fielded a starting lineup of Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Paul George, Randolph and Gasol Jr., and Nash was put on the second team.
On the Thunder's side, the starting lineup of Westbrook, Seifrosa, Durant, Ibaka, and Perkins came on.
After Sun Ce helped the Grizzlies win the jump ball, the Grizzlies quickly took the advantage, and Randolph's low singles were unsolved!
The first round was limited to a whole series, and Randolph, who was targeted by Chandler, Masimmi, and Yao Ming throughout the whole process, vented all the energy that he couldn't use in the first round in the second round!
The tactical core of this lineup is Gasol Jr., and Sun Ce is responsible for receiving and shooting and assisting on the defensive end.
Randolph's low-post performance made Sun Ce more sure who he would choose for the first star experience card he would use to play the Thunder......
