……
On April 12, the Grizzlies' game day against the Lakers arrived.
On this day, the Grizzlies' regular season has entered the final week countdown, and this season's regular season for each team in the league will end from the 16th to the 18th, and the playoffs will begin on the 20th.
The Grizzlies played the Lakers on the 12th, the Suns away on the 14th, the Suns on the 15th, and the 76ers on the 18th.
After watching the Lakers' game last night, Sun Ce felt that it was really difficult to play against the Lakers in the playoffs.
can only hope that the Spurs will lose even one more game...... Give them the hope of hitting first.
But to keep that hope alive, they have to work on their own.
Fortunately, as Sun Ce said to Wang Keying yesterday, they have an advantage tonight!
In the morning, Sun Ce and the team came to the Staples Center to prepare for the game, and the whole team was very motivated, killing the Spurs, and by the way, the Lakers were also killed!
On the other side of the training ground, the Lakers players just made a simple run, back-to-back against the Grizzlies, and the Zen master also had a bit of a headache, but he played right.
At this stage of the season, playoff teams are facing each other, especially those that are likely to meet in the playoffs, to the point of bayonet redness.
Moreover, the Lakers, like the Grizzlies who played the Spurs the day before yesterday, can only maintain their chances of surpassing the Grizzlies by beating the Grizzlies head-on.
……
The day's preparation time passed quickly, Sun Ce once again felt that there was not enough time, although only Sun Ce and Yi Jianlian went to watch the game last night, but the others were not idle, a few bigwigs who like to study tactics watched Time Warner's national live broadcast in the United States in the hotel, and had some ideas for dealing with the Lakers, whether it is good or not is one thing, and it is most important to work hard to prepare.
But it's not an easy thing to quickly integrate into the team's style of play.
At 7:40 p.m., after the pre-match warm-up time, the players from both teams entered the court.
Sun Ce was very surprised when he entered the court, it was not that someone cheered for him, there were many Chinese students, Chinese-Americans, and Asians in California, and he had changed from unpopular to very likable here because of Kobe's relationship, and there were cheers the last time he came, which was much friendlier than the fans last season.
But this time the fans were overly enthusiastic! The atmosphere at the scene was very different from the last time Sun Ce came here to play and last season when he came here to play the regular season!
The reason is very simple, the last time Sun Ce came here, he and Kobe Bryant, and there was a crazy duel of 70+ to 60+, Sun Ce came here for the second time this season and the last time in the regular season, and the fans at the scene can't imagine whether Sun Ce and Kobe are going to soar again?
After the players of the two teams came on the field, they exchanged ideas again, posing to take pictures of reporters and live broadcast cameras by the way to show the friendship between the two teams.
When they met again after nearly a month, Sun Ce looked at Kobe Bryant and immediately thought of the last matchup.
Kobe Bryant also felt very excited, in the past two years, he has rarely felt this way in the regular season, but now when he meets Sun Ce, it seems to go back to ten years ago, when he competed with Iverson, Maddy, Carter, Nowitzki, Garnett, Duncan and others.
But now, Iverson and Maddy can't find a place to play, Carter is wandering, even if he plays against Nowitzki and Duncan in the regular season, there is nothing particularly exciting about playing against Garnett, and the excitement of playing against Garnett is only out of his identity as a Lakers player, even if he played the Thunder last night, Kobe Bryant just loves basketball and makes him feel good and wants to abuse young players.
But playing Sun Ce, a sophomore player younger than Durant yesterday, Kobe Bryant seems to have the excitement of going head-to-head with Iverson, Maddy, and Arenas.
This is Carter's excitement that can't give him, Kobe Bryant doesn't look down on Carter, Carter is talented, powerful, and physically grass-resistant, but even Carter before the big injury will actually think about "how to dunk this ball well" in the game, "Bibi dunk the former dunk king", "You just scored 9 threes in a row, I'm going to try"......
This is what Kobe Bryant personally felt Carter's thoughts, and there are even words that Kobe Bryant personally heard Carter say during the game.
This made Kobe Bryant describe Iverson as the strongest opponent, describe Maddy as the opponent who puts the most pressure on him, and describe Carter when referring to the other three quarterbacks...... It's the best for dunking.
It's not as high as rating Arenas, and the evaluations given to Arenas are: a former strong enemy who did something wrong.
At 7:58 p.m., the starters from both teams were on the field.
On the Lakers' side, it is still the same old-fashioned, and the Zen master prefers Fisher, even if Fisher does not have Blakedor in playing time this season, it is still Fisher and Kobe, Artest, Da Gasol, and Bynum's starting lineup.
On the Grizzlies' side, they adjusted their starters, Sun Ce put on his equipment, applied some magnesium powder, and appeared in the starting lineup of Tony Allen, Paul George, Randolph, and Gasol Jr.
Battier doesn't play, and the Grizzlies have a hard time jumping the ball......
At 8 o'clock sharp, Bynum easily beat Gasol Jr. in a jump ball, and the Lakers attacked first.
This is an adjustment based on the situation when he played against the Lakers last time, let Tony Allen first consummate Kobe Bryant, and can't let Kobe play at the beginning of the game, otherwise he can't stop it!
Last time, it was purely Sun Ce's 72 points in a single game that he defeated Kobe's Lakers team with 60+ points in a single game.
And Paul George ...... The last time they met, Paul George defended Kobe Bryant for a few rounds and was almost beaten to Dad, and it was better to use it to deal with Artest, the young man was not afraid of being killed by the muscle bumps on the opposite side, which could reduce Sun Ce's consumption in defending Artest.
After Fisher pressed the rhythm and advanced to the frontcourt, Tony Allen has begun to fight with Kobe Bryant, Kobe is also a strange person, he was desperately scared by Tony Allen, every time he fought with Tony Allen, the two elbowed each other blue and purple, but Kobe Bryant was like a masochist, and every time he played Tony Allen, Tony Allen boasted to death, this season Tony Allen has a very high call for defense, it is difficult to say that it has nothing to do with Kobe's touting.
Paul George followed Artest, while Sun Ce ......
Fisher saw Sun Ce waiting for him in the top arc, and felt that the other side really looked down on him!
