1286. The Tyrannosaurus Rex Time Is Running! (4th Update)
The Mavericks, who are eighth in the West, have 47 wins and 50+ wins.
Unless the Mavericks lose three of their last five games and the Jazz win them all, they will not be able to make the playoffs.
The crazy side of the Wild West is coming again, and 50 wins don't necessarily guarantee a place in the playoffs!
……
On a day off, the Grizzlies still only arranged simple tactical training, for the other two playoff teams that are not the top five and eighth in the West, even if the Grizzlies met in the first round, they are not worried, and when it comes to the playoff 7-game 4-win system, it is right to play slowly, and it is not so important to win or lose in the regular season, and there is no real targeted treatment.
Sun Ce just won't be able to shoot when he plays, and there is no problem with training, what should he practice or what he should practice.
On the 7th, the home court ushered in the last meeting with the Clippers this season.
Unfortunately, the Grizzlies lost again......
The Clippers became the team that won the most against the Grizzlies this season.
95 to 90, looking at this score, Griffin feels that this year his Tyrannosaurus rex is finally running!
Four encounters, two encounters with Sun Ce felt cold, watching Sun Ce only score 15 points on 3-of-11 shooting, Griffin felt that his time was coming!
……
Sun Ce only got 15 points, 13 boards, 5 assists and 3 blocks, mainly because of his extremely poor scoring performance, averaging 31.1 points per game, which made Grizzlies fans worry a lot.
The Grizzlies entered the end of the regular season in April, with a 1-2 record, which also made Sun Ce and the Grizzlies questionable.
Why did they play so well against the Thunder at the end of March, and in April, when they really entered the playoffs, the Grizzlies played so badly?
The main one who was sprayed was Sun Ce, and finally wilted?
However, on April 9, the Grizzlies came to Sacramento to play the Kings for the last time of the season, Sun Ce shot 15 of 22, including 7 of 12 three-pointers, and scored 45 points, 22 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks in 37 minutes of playing time.
At 112-88, the Grizzlies defeated the Kings, and Sun Ce regained his touch and shot wildly in the face of the Kings' league-high defense that conceded points per game......
The media was like grass on the wall, seeing that Sun Ce got the 15th 40+ this season, and the average points per game that was about to be caught up by Kobe Bryant opened up a little gap again, and the media immediately began to publicize it again - those two games are just when Sun Ce feels bad, and everyone has a bad hand......
Praise is self-confidence, not blind pride; Anger does not lose reason when he is looked down upon, Sun Ce is not affected by this kind of public opinion.
He scored 45 points, which was interpreted by some media and fans as "proving" himself, but in fact, it was just Kobe Bryant's side that equaled his average of 31.1 points per game, he felt bad, and hurriedly threw it, just to hell, the shooting felt particularly good, and they all fell to an average of 4.06 three-point shots per game, and the number of three-point shots returned to 4.1.
Sun Ce felt too tired to compete with other stars for so many things, but now that it was almost finished, Sun Ce didn't want to give up anything!
Greed is a little greedy, he himself feels that he is too greedy, but how can a man not be greedy?
Four consecutive home games were played, followed by three consecutive away games, and the last two consecutive home games were completed.
In this wave of three consecutive visitors, the weak team Rockets are very easy to play, but the Jazz and Lakers are very troublesome!
……
Since the Mavericks won the game the night before yesterday, they have 48 wins, and if they win two more games, they will win 50, plus the Mavericks beat the Jazz 3-1, and the Jazz won 50 wins, so the Jazz basically lost the chance to enter the playoffs, and the Grizzlies didn't care about this game at all.
Arrived in Salt Lake City at noon on the 10th, and the Grizzlies prepared for the last game of the four-game game against the Lakers.
However, the Jazz did not give up even if the chances were slim, and giving up at this time is equivalent to turning the slim chances into no chances, in case the Mavericks lost three of the last four games?
It's not impossible!
Therefore, the Jazz team is still very hard, and the players and coaches of the two teams do not attach much importance to this game on the same line!
The Jazz traded Mo Williams for Marvin Williams, one of the James-like players, and there is no doubt that it was blood!
Cultivating him as James must be in high esteem, but he is fast and powerful, and in this era, he can defend from one to five when encountering certain opponents, which has played an important role in improving the defense of the Jazz, known as the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies were careless, scoring only 33 points in the first half and 39 points by the Jazz!
Sun Ce was very serious and worked hard to score, but he played 18 minutes alone in the half and scored 17 points, and the whole team only scored 33 points!
The Jazz defense was strong and targeted, so they let Sun Ce shoot and make a chance to give it a chance, but Carroll defended it well, didn't let Sun Ce score particularly high, and at the same time pulled the Grizzlies into the quagmire of defensive battles.
Although the Grizzlies woke up in the second half and fought to catch up, they have entered the quagmire of defensive battle.
In the end, although Sun Ce shot 12 of 26, 4 of 11 three-pointers, and 7 of 7 free throws to score 35 points, 17 rebounds, 4 blocks and 1 steal, he only had 3 assists, and the Grizzlies lost 76-81 to the Jazz.
……
56-22......
With four games left and a full win to get 60 wins, the Grizzlies themselves have tasted carelessness.
The more you get to the end of the regular season, the more you can't be careless!
You think the opponent won't resist, but in fact the opponent may be more eager to win than you, especially those teams with only a slim chance left, who want to win more!
Even the Heat's team that had a chance to hit 72 wins was overturned by the Jazz, who had the confidence and hard work to win, and the Grizzlies were too light on their side and really capsized.
After this wave of 2-3, the Grizzlies' record from the highest to the third in the West suddenly fell to the bottom fifth.
On April 12, the Grizzlies came to Houston to challenge the Rockets for the second time in three straight road games, because they lost to the Jazz and went crazy defensively, knocking down other Rockets players who Anthony didn't play......
91-66, the Grizzlies tried their best to defend, if Nash hadn't played 10 minutes and led the team to play a wave of 23-13 scoring climax from defense to madness, the Grizzlies would probably not even score 90 points.
Sun Ce also seized the opportunity to score 32 points and maintained his average of 31.4 points per game, slightly ahead of Kobe.
……
With the first two games in a three-game streak and three games remaining, the Grizzlies improved their record to 57-22.
Completely exceeding pre-season expectations, the Grizzlies coaching staff and players started the season with 55 wins that would be a very good record.
As a result, I didn't expect to have a chance to hit 60 wins!
