1192.The Little Emperor's Sense of Crisis (Part 2)
Sending Gerard Wallace away, Camby leaving, sending Potzbilla to the Heat...... The Trail Blazers' defense collapsed directly, Aldridge's defense was not good, the talented power forward JJ Hickson, who was snatched from the Kings in '08, was sparsely defensive, and the rookie Lillard defense was just like that...... Even Batum, who claims to be the poor man's lord, can't connect the defenses.
The Grizzlies have been on defense in back-to-back + the past two games, and their offensive form tonight was average, scoring 41 points at halftime, but the Trail Blazers only scored 29 points in the half......
In the first half, Sun Ce played 14 minutes and scored 8 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists on 3-of-7 shooting.
In the second half, Lillard was unwilling to admit defeat, facing Beverley, Jimmy Butler, Sun Ce, and Klay Thompson's rotational defense, and played 1 of 11 in the second half for 18 minutes while shooting 2-of-12 in the first half......
Lillard scored only 11 points on 3-of-23 shooting in a single game......
Aldridge once again carried the team's offense, creating a threat with difficult solo scoring and creating better scoring opportunities for teammates such as Matthews and Lillard.
But Lillard played like that, and Aldridge, who was in his prime, and had S-ability evaluation, couldn't take it!
Before the game, he said that he would blow up Sun Ce, which angered Sun Ce and the brothers next to him, and bit Lillard's crazy defense.
Moreover, the Trail Blazers couldn't shoot, and the Grizzlies had more scoring opportunities in the second half, with Paul George, Jimmy Butler, and Yi Jianlian scoring more inside, and Sun Ce's assists increasing.
Although Aldridge played 44 minutes on 15-of-25 shooting, plus 8-of-8 free throws, and scored 38 points alone, the Trail Blazers scored 72 points as a team.
97-72, the Grizzlies slaughtered the Trail Blazers by 25 points and won easily.
Sun Ce, who played 33 minutes, made 7 of 14 shots, got 20 points, 24 boards, 11 assists, 6 blocks and 1 steal, and scored the iconic 4 times 5 data, and by the way, he also scored the 6th triple-double of the season and the 6th double 20 of his career!
……
22-8!
After 30 games, the Grizzlies have lost only eight, which is much better than the Grizzlies coaching staff expected early in the season because Randolph was overweight!
This is inseparable from Sun Ce's great strides in progress, and as the season deepens, Sun Ce is also accustomed to this situation of carrying the team forward, and the more he plays, the better he gets.
And what makes many fans, other teams, and even the Grizzlies' own team feel incredible is that Sun Ce is still improving when he plays under pressure like this year!
The three-point shot is more stable than the 3-of-11 and 4-of-12 from time at the beginning of the season, and the mid-range range remains at the same level, averaging 4.4 mid-range shots per game......
As of the end of 30 games, Sun Ce's average of 33.2 points, 13.4 boards, 5.5 assists, 3.4 blocks and 1.8 steals per game is very eye-catching, although the average number of fouls and turnovers per game is about 1 more than last season, with an average of 3.6 fouls per game and 3.4 turnovers per game;
There is also the shooting rate, Sun Ce's shooting rate was 48 percent last season, and this year it is only 44 percent......
However, overall, Sun Ce continues to improve, and anyone who averages 26.7 shots per game is not much higher.
……
Sun Ce has put a lot of pressure on other stars, some are worried about the future, after the former Grizzlies coach and current Warners commentator Huby Brown cheered for Sun Ce, Sun Ce's "talent" was recognized, and Sun Ce is now in a team that is perfect for him, has won the championship, and those veterans who are in their prime but have not yet touched the championship trophy are worried about their ending.
The appearance of such a player seems to be doomed to the tragic end of ordinary superstars and ordinary all-stars of the same era.
And those Mesozoic players, even more Alexander, are accumulating honors, but the emergence of such players in the new generation will obviously have a huge impact on their accumulation of honors.
For example, the scoring champion who is very important for Durant and Anthony; The rebounding king that was important to Howard.
Among the stars of the same generation, Griffin also wanted to compete for the rebounding king, he did not give up the inside line to Jordan Jr., he was firmly developing in the direction of Malone, and it was a rebounding strengthened type, after the reimbursement of Love and Vallejo, Griffin rushed all the way from an average of 11.5 boards per game to an average of 12.9 boards per game, but due to entering the middle of the season, the Grizzlies' offense declined further, and the defensive end played more ruthlessly, Sun Ce has averaged 13.4 boards per game.
Among these people, the most disturbing is LeBron James!
On January 5th, another week passed, and with a four-double in the past week, Sun Ce topped the MVP list for the first time this season!
Two months after the start of the season, James, who performed well on the team and played the best performance of his career, thought that his MVP this season was very stable, and only Durant, Paul, and Duncan could compete with him for the regular season MVP this season, and the probability of Paul and Duncan was lower.
But the new year has just begun, and Sun Ce has begun to break out again!
The number of triple-doubles has reached 6, which is equal to the triple-doubles of James and Rondo this season, and only two worse than the first-place Westbrook! And one of them is a triple double or a quadruple pair!
. T predicts that if the Grizzlies can finally get the top two in the West and Sun Ce can finish first in the third list, Sun Ce will not have a chance to compete for MVP!
At this time, the official MVP ranking also ranked Sun Ce first for the first time this season, which brought huge pressure to James!
Among the active players, there are four players who have won multiple MVPs, Duncan, Nash, James, and Sun Ce, all twice.
James is eager to lead the league in MVP counts.
Having just finished playing the Knicks with two straight wins, and is going to play back-to-back games against the Nets on the road, James, who is now resting in the hotel, looks at his team's record.
Played 33 games, 26-7, first in the league......
Still not enough!
With such a good record, James still felt uneasy, seeing the latest MVP ranking on his mobile phone, although this is only the first time that Sun Ce has ranked first in the MVP ranking this season, James has a strong sense of crisis.
Originally, James thought that it would be okay to finish this season steadily and win the first place in the league with 634 wins, but now, he feels that he has to do his best to play a better individual performance and team record!
……
……
Ended the new year with a 2-1 record of 4 days and 3 games, which was not bad for the Grizzlies, and got a little buffer time, resting on the 5th and 6th, and playing the Warriors at home on the 7th.
Sun Cegang and Zu Ge returned home, and just saw that he was on the top of the MVP list for the first time this season, and he was happy, and he was even happier!
The team informed him that he was ready for the "inauguration" ceremony of the honorary mayor on his birthday!
