Grizzlies General Manager's Office.

"There was a huge mistake in our strategy." Chris Wallace said.

"Who would have thought the Spurs would do that, Chris, do you think they did it on purpose?" Coach Hollins was a little depressed.

Only lost 5 games before the All-Star weekend, and 8 games after the All-Star weekend, and it was not because of injuries, not because the new tactics were figured out by the opponent, but simply because of the rotation, otherwise they would have lost at least 4 games less, and the Spurs would have lost 4 games less, and their Grizzlies would not have fought hard to fight for the first place, and the gap between the sea and the three teams would not have a reverie.

But despite being a little depressed, Chris Wallace was not depressed: "What to do, Leonard, are we going to fall straight to fifth?" I still think your tactics are good, and I insist that your judgment is right, and the Spurs are the best game in the second round. ”

Being praised, Coach Hollins was a little happy, but he rejected the offer: "No, we can't do this, if we give up the fight for first place early and lose to fifth, it doesn't matter, but now that we have come here, we can only go one way to the end and see where the road ahead leads." ”

Chris Wallace nodded when he heard it, and the two were in agreement.

Now you can't lose casually, you can fight to lose, but you can't take turns to lose deliberately to control the number of wins.

One is morale, the playoffs are about to start, if the Spurs did not have such an excessive rotation for more than a month after the All-Star weekend, the Grizzlies chose another plan for the second half of the season early, and decided to fall to the fifth place to play the Spurs at the beginning, and they could have lost all the games that should have been lost, and then strive to win in April, and the playoffs will start in mid-April and late, and this month's performance is very important for confidence and the final run-in.

The second is more important, Sun Ce's MVP! I can't imagine this, the plans are all started at the beginning of the season, who knows that Sun Ce can play so well in the team system, especially in March, Sun Ce's performance can be said to be the best performance of all players in a single month this season, not one of them, even Yao Ming + Nowitzki led the team to play 15 wins and 1 loss can't cover Sun Ce's edge.

In this case, Sun Ce has a high probability of winning the MVP, but the premise is that even if he can't surpass the Spurs to win the regular season championship, he has to do his best to win more games, and every win is important.

If Sun Ce lost his MVP because he wanted to play the Spurs...... Whether this is a decisive factor or not, in the eyes of others, Sun Ce, and even themselves, it is unforgivable.

Originally, Sun Ce had already bought a house, and it was estimated that he was willing to stay for a few more years, because he lost the MVP because of the selection of opponents, Sun Ce estimated that he would sell the house that night and prepare to move.

Then for Chris Wallace and Coach Hollins, the next choice is simple, just go down the road.

Go all out to win, even if you lose the game, you have to go all out to fight to the end to help Sun Ce increase the impression points of the media, announcers, and experts who have the right to vote.

Of course, you can also have fantasies, such as the Spurs have a hellish three-game losing streak and four consecutive losses, falling to second or third, as far as Coach Hollins and Chris Wallace predict, the Spurs are absolutely unwilling to meet the Lakers and Mavericks who both have terrible three towers, and in that situation will definitely take the initiative to lose one or two more games and fall to fifth......

But this is also a fantasy that the Spurs' schedule at the end of the season is much easier than their Grizzlies, just one back-to-back, adding up to 8 games, and only 5 playoff-level opponents, while their Grizzlies have 9 playoff-level teams left in 10 games.

Since it's a strategy, you have to accept defeat, and aside from the fact that you can't pick an opponent, in fact, the team is in such a good situation now, 58-14, and there are 10 games left, in case of hell and win 7 games, it will be 65 wins!

There's nothing to be disappointed in, just go all out and at least get 60 wins this season.

Therefore, the general manager and the head coach are a little regretful, not uncomfortable and unhappy, but certainly not happy, after all, strategic mistakes, even if it is a good thing, the final result of planning a season is completely different from what was imagined, although it is definitely good, but it is not happy, just not sad.

On the contrary, a young man among the people who were in the meeting on the side made the two very depressed.

Robert Pera, the fifth diamond king in his early 30s, who is theoretically the owner of the team, acted decisively and had good business acumen, listened to the two of them on the sidelines, and was actually very interested.

It's a good thing to be interested, the key is that the boss is simply interested, not to mention putting forward constructive opinions, it doesn't seem to even have the idea of putting forward opinions, and he really didn't put forward any opinions, and he looked like he was watching a good show if he didn't care about himself.

In that picture, a basketball fan accidentally broke into an NBA team management meeting and overheard the sense of "internal confidential".

This has nothing to do with the wise and decisive boss who handled Sun Ce's contract renewal at all, okay!

……

……

Sun Ce sent Zu Geese to the arena and, as always, practiced with Tim Hardaway for an hour in the morning for a total of 300 three-point shots.

More than half a season has passed, the progress has been broken to the obvious, it's a D level, although it's still a gamble on luck in the game, but at least in the confrontational game will not throw three non-sticky, which is already very good, occasionally the vacant position can also score one, plus those occasional outside players hang to score three points in a row to bring the threat to the opponent, if the hell to score a three-point, it can also increase the chance of subsequent breakthroughs.

In fact, the probability of Sun Ce breaking out and scoring a lot of three-pointers is extremely low, and he has not used a few star experience cards of outside superstars, but he has one or two and three, and the opponent is very impressed, as long as he scores a three-pointer, the opponent will definitely stick to the defense in the next few rounds.

At half past nine in the morning, Coach Hollins came to the conference room after the management meeting and held a pre-game meeting for tonight's game for the players who had arrived.

I couldn't see Coach Hollins in the office at all, his expression was serious, even a little old-fashioned, and his opening speech was sonorous: "Tonight's game, we must win, our goal is to be the first in the West and sweep them!" Let's have an edge in the first round! Defeat them! ”

Tonight's game is big for the Grizzlies.

The most important thing is to win!

That's what the players say, but Coach Hollins actually has a mind on this as well.

This has something to do with the current situation in the Western Conference playoffs, where the Grizzlies are currently playing 1 game less than the Spurs, but they have to lose one more game, 1.5 wins short, and there are 10 games left, which is not a lack of chance.

So to beat tonight's opponent out of the playoffs is the priority option, saying that it is to strive for a psychological advantage in the matchup, but in fact, I want to simply beat the opponent out of the playoffs......

If the Rockets lose one more game, the Suns have a greater chance, and now both teams are 41-32, and both have 9 games to play, giving the Rockets a loss is to add a winning advantage to the Suns.

It's just that the trouble is to play two games against the Suns at the end of this month...... Coach Hollins certainly wouldn't say he was deliberately going to lose to the Suns and send them to the playoffs.

It doesn't matter, it's just that he thinks they are relatively more restrained by the Suns, and he is worried that a good mid-range shooter like Anthony will explode in the playoffs, but if he wins the regular season championship, he doesn't have to choose who to choose the Suns or the Rockets, but he can choose why not.

Of course, if you lose the opportunity to compete for the first place in the league, it is not a bad thing to beat the Rockets, win one more game, Sun Ce has a higher probability of winning the MVP, and compared with the Lakers, Spurs, 76ers, Trail Blazers, Mavericks and other teams behind, the Rockets are the weakest.

……

The tactical meeting in the morning was very serious, but the tactical training was relatively relaxed, after all, at this time, the characteristics and strength of each team's playing style were almost understood, and if it was an imaginary opponent in the playoffs, it was only to practice the tactics prepared for the playoffs.

After the training, Sun Ce and Wang Keying had a phone porridge for a while, they were tired of crooked, there was a call prompt, Sun Ce looked at it and saw that it was John, and wanted to ignore it, but this guy didn't have anything to do in the past two years and wouldn't be in touch, and he was very busy with work and study, so Sun Ce still decided to take it.

"There's work coming, let's talk in the evening."

After receiving the response from the other side, Sun Ce pressed to end the current call and connected John's phone: "What's wrong, thin version of Leonardo." ”

"Thank you for the compliment, but I think I want to be more handsome......" After a moment of narcissism, John on the other end of the phone said: "Last time you asked me to buy Bitcoin, I spent 7,500 yuan to buy more than 75,000 bitcoins from a blockchain enthusiast forum, and almost bought all the bitcoins in the hands of the people who were willing to sell in that forum, I investigated, this is the blockchain game currency pair developed by the Japanese, this technology is public, and I can make a new one by just a few people like this, Is it necessary to buy this? ”

"John, do you know tulips?" Sun Ce asked.

......John on the other end of the phone was puzzled for a moment, thought of a famous case, was instantly startled, and hurriedly said: "Noah, we can't afford this money." ”

"This is the first well-known digital currency, and it has a fan forum, so it's worth operating." Sun Ce would think so much, and continued: "We don't do dealers, 10 cents 1, much more expensive than I thought, but it's also acceptable, it is estimated that you will have to spend 20 cents and 30 cents to buy it now, and if you can buy it, try to buy more when the price is low, and we can't afford it in the future, but I don't think it's low, and the more expensive things are scarce, the less others have, the more expensive we have to buy." ”
