73 games, averaging 34.3 points, 13.6 boards, 9.7 assists, 3.4 blocks, 1.6 steals, 3 fouls and 3.6 turnovers per game, all the games in March were over, when fans took their attention from Sun Ce's crazy March performance and saw the latest data after Sun Ce's 6 consecutive away games, it once again sparked heated discussions.

In the past month or so, Sun Ce's performance has added points to his MVP competition, which is more than a 70+ single-game and a 64+37 luxury quadruple-double before the All-Star Weekend.

Those two games are explosive performances, unless the data, performance, and record are combined to match other MVP competitors, the explosive performance can have an impact on the final ownership of the MVP.

And to choose an MVP, you have to look at the performance of the vast majority of games throughout the season.

In fact, it was not Sun Ce who took the lead in playing antiquity-level data this season, but Westbrook.

But while Westbrook also played antiquity-level data, Sun Ce came out on top and soared even wilder!

The Grizzlies have 9 games left, and fans are looking forward to whether Sun Ce, who is currently averaging 34.3 points per game, can stabilize and not be surpassed by Durant, who averages 33.8 points per game.

When will Sun Ce lock in the triple-doubles, that is, the kind of situation where he doesn't get a triple-double in the remaining games, and Westbrook's side can't overtake him if he gets a triple-double in the remaining games.

The most important thing is the Grizzlies' standings, the Grizzlies are theoretically unlikely to surpass the Trail Blazers' record, after the Thunder's loss to the Grizzlies, it will be difficult to catch up with the Grizzlies and the Warriors for a while, and the Grizzlies' accumulated advantage in the first half of the season has played a decisive role in their battle for first-round home-court advantage.

That is, there will be a focus series in the first round - Xiong Yong War!

It's just entered April, and fans have already begun to talk about the playoffs, Curry, as a new popular superstar in the NBA, was selected as an All-Star starter, relying on his three-point ability comparable to Klay Thompson and explosive to Sun Ce, he has attracted a large number of fans.

Now the Grizzlies and Warriors fans are fighting for a greater advantage in the first round.

……

On Sun Ce's side, after playing the Thunder team, after arriving in Denver on the morning of April Fool's Day, the whole team stayed in the hotel, making up for sleep, watching TV to relieve stress.

Yesterday's win over the Thunder improved their record to 49-24, and after the Warriors beat the Trail Blazers, they narrowly managed to stay in fourth place in the West.

Now Sun Ce really hopes that the opponent in the first round is the Thunder instead of the Warriors, not that he is afraid of the Warriors, but that the Thunder team has a more obvious advantage - Whiteside!

Originally, the overall strength of their Grizzlies team was slightly weaker than that of the Thunder team, and if both teams were in good shape, they could only have an advantage by relying on their outside trio to break out, and the opponent did not break out or the outbreak was not as good as their outside trio.

Otherwise, you can only fight with the Thunder team with the overall strength that is slightly at a disadvantage.

But with Whiteside, it's a different story!

Sun Ce feels Whiteside day Kweissbrook! The effect of restraint was even stronger than he had expected!

Whiteside has a lot of problems, such as not wanting to leave the three-second zone no matter what, the opponent has someone in his reach, he will never leave the three-second zone, if there is no one in the reach, he will tiptoe on one foot outside the three-second zone every two seconds, and immediately go back, and even sometimes if the referee doesn't blow, he won't go out.

Most point guards in the league would be terrible, but Westbrook, that's perfect, Whiteside's three-second zone blocking awareness is estimated to be only matched by Ratliff and Mutombo at the beginning of the century.

Anyway, both Sun Ce and Larry Sanders think Whiteside is the best block-minded player in the league.

Even if Whiteside has average physical strength, he can play ten minutes of regular time and five or six minutes in key moments, which are specially used to deal with Westbrook.

In the first half of the Thunder, the Grizzlies were able to pull away from scoring by relying on Whiteside alone to prevent Westbrook from scoring, and the outside foursome could take the opportunity to play the rotation defense.

In the playoffs, Whiteside played most of the opponents, Sun Ce estimated that as long as it was a strong team in the playoffs, he would not dare to do so, unless there was no center available, but playing the Thunder team, Whiteside was too easy to use!

Today's April Fool's Day, the Grizzlies were originally preparing to record a short video today and post it on the short video software invested by Sun Ce, which was planned at the beginning of the season.

But because the main actor Randolph was not there, it had to be canceled.

Without Randolph's livening atmosphere, and having already played four games in a six-game row, Sun Ce and his teammates really didn't have the heart and energy to play that.

At this point in Denver, Sun Ce stayed in his room, chatted with Lily Collins and Zu Goose about videos, and talked to John on the phone about some things this summer, and the day went by.

On April 2nd, the most difficult schedule for the Grizzlies' six-game tour is coming, this time the Grizzlies' opponent can be regarded as the fifth consecutive trip in the Northwest Division, only the Warriors have a sideways kick, and the other five opponents are all teams in the Northwest Division.

And, No. 2 and No. 3 in the new month are back-to-back, playing the Nuggets and the Timberwolves.

At noon on the 2nd, the NBA officially announced last week's Player of the Week.

Sun Ce didn't win the Weekly Awards, the Western Conference Weekly Awards were won by the Warriors' James Harden, and the Eastern Conference Weekly Awards went to the Hornets' Josh McRoberts.

Seeing this, Sun Ce estimated that Josh McRoberts had never thought that he would win the Weekly Championship one day after entering the NBA for so many years.

When Sun Ce won the first weekly best, his mood was also an unexpected surprise after a surprise.

At 5:30 p.m., the Grizzlies' away game against the Nuggets began.

The Nuggets are now waiting for a holiday, the coaching staff has no idea, it doesn't matter if they win or lose, Brian Shaw is ready to submit his resignation at the end of the season, he finds himself more suitable as an assistant coach to provide tactics, it is too difficult to find the right team to play the triangle offense, Pippen + Jordan, Kobe + O'Neal, Kobe + Pau Gasol can be found if you find it.

But the players are playing very actively, many of the Nuggets players are in contract years, to say that the record of their Nuggets is not particularly bad, 33-39, it's really not bad, but at the same time there are many injuries, the tactics are not adaptable, basically playing a few becomes the whole team to see the cooperation, playing like playing street ball, of course, NBA first-class or quasi-first-class players playing street ball is still very good, but there is no chance to enter the playoffs.

In this year's games, the Nuggets have mostly lost against teams that are disciplined and tactically stable; But the teams that didn't have the same record as them basically won.

Although the Grizzlies' record is not as good as in previous years, the team's discipline and tactical stability have been very good.

From the strongest defensive team in the league, this season's style of painting has changed sharply to the strongest offensive team in the league, and has a good circle of team fans, the discipline and stability can be imagined, the Grizzlies are the strongest and most envied by other teams, Sun Ce is one, and the other is their overall discipline.

And this is based on the strength of each of their main rotations at least a good level.

So playing the Nuggets, the Grizzlies have been playing according to each other this season, and they don't give each other a chance at all.

But tonight, I thought it would be an easy game, the main players could take a break, Yi Jianlian and Klay Thompson both rested to prepare for the possible outbreak of Lefu tomorrow.

Lefu was "humiliated" by Whiteside in the last game, and the last time they met, the opponent would definitely go all out.

However, in the starting stage, Sun Ce, Beverley, Paul George, Aamir Johnson, and Larry Sanders defended really well, and Sun Ce played 9 minutes in the first quarter, scoring 7 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists, helping the team play a 24-14 start.

The Nuggets are averaging 104 points per game this season and conceding 106 points per game, playing a team with teamwork, their defense is completely unguardable, without George Karl, the Nuggets' defense now relies purely on individual ability, and there is no coordination at all.

However, after Whiteside came on the field, something went wrong!

It seems to be floating, Whiteside is now only concerned about grabbing the board and making up for the dunk on the offensive end, he is really horizontal at this point, Farid, JJ Hickson, Mozgov, Darrell Arthur can't grab him on the wheel, but while playing, the Nuggets found a problem inside, this guy grabbed the offensive rebound and didn't pass! They all wanted to dunk or put the basket themselves, and then Farid and Mozgov both had more blocks.

It's nothing, you can't shoot from the outside, and you have the right to decide what to do with the offensive rebounds that Whiteside grabbed by himself.

However, on the defensive end, Whiteside doesn't go to the card position and wants to get the rebound, which is a big problem.

On the Nuggets' side, Farid, Darrell Arthur, and JJ Hickson are all offensive rebounders! The Nuggets are so good at abusing vegetables, relying on the league's fifth-best overall rebounding and the league's third-best offensive rebounding!

In addition, it was found that Whiteside's defense was not expanded, and Lawson on the Nuggets' side continued to block and dismantle to close range throws, and Nate Robinson shot directly after various blocks and dismantles, and he felt good.

When Sun Ce returned to the court in the 4th minute of the second quarter, the score was actually tied by the opponent!

Fortunately, the overall strength is still there, after halftime, relying on Sun Ce's 17 points, 6 boards, 6 assists and 2 blocks, the Grizzlies led by 3 points at halftime with a 59-56 lead and entered the break.

At halftime, Coach Hollins stressed to Whiteside very sternly how to play.

But after coming back in the third quarter, after the lineup of Livingston, Beverley, Paul George, Prince, and Whiteside came on the court, Whiteside's style of play remained ...... for more than half a quarter Thanks to Paul George, who just got 8 points and 2 assists in 7 minutes, it took the Nuggets who had already played out their morale.

To say that the biggest impact of Whiteside's sparse blocking and dismantling and anti-close range in addition to the three-second zone defense is to make the Nuggets get up!

This is basically a chaotic team, which can run and shoot, and it is difficult to deal with after the momentum.

After the official timeout in the third quarter, Coach Hollins did not replace Sun Ce.

Sun Ce, Paul George, and Larry Sanders, with Beverley, Tony Allen, Hardaway Jr., Prince, Richard Jefferson, and Aamir Johnson, the rotation of these people, and the Nuggets, who have been on the rise, stumbled to the final moments.

At 11 minutes and 47 seconds into the final quarter, Fournier, a talented sophomore, hit a long-range three-point shot, and the Grizzlies and Nuggets tied at 112!

The Grizzlies didn't call a timeout! Sun Ce triggered the "Grim Reaper", and directly counterattacked and rushed to the basket with a temporary recovery of full physical strength that others did not expect, and almost hung on Lawson to smash the ball into the basket when Lawson was chasing back, and at the same time caused Lawson to foul.

Although the penalty was not hit, the Nuggets sidelined the tactical pause and came back from the front court when the ball came out, Sun Ce, who had predicted it in advance, was stealed!

Sun Ce ran with joy after the steal, this time he really ran fast, and Lawson, who played 44 minutes tonight, couldn't keep up.

In the end, relying on Sun Ce, who played 34 minutes and scored 35 points, 8 boards, 8 assists, 3 blocks and 3 steals on 13-of-29 shooting, and Paul George, who scored 29 points, 4 boards and 7 assists, the Grizzlies narrowly defeated the Nuggets 114-112!

……

After this game with the Nuggets, Sun Ce's "lord show time" came to an end, and 21 consecutive non-40+ or triple-double performances were broken.

Fans all felt that it was a coincidence that as soon as March ended, Sun Ce's Crazy March Lords show came to an end.

The headline was "Lords Only 38+8+8, Grizzlies Narrowly Beat Nuggets."

But the Grizzlies finally got their 50th win of the season, and the last time the Grizzlies had a tougher situation was Sun Ce's rookie year.

On April 3, in the Grizzlies' back-to-back games against the Timberwolves, Coach Hollins directly put Whiteside on the inactive list and Gobert on the active list.

Although Gobert didn't play in this game, and Tony Allen and Beverley were also rested, they just didn't put Whiteside on the activation list.

The Timberwolves were ready to beat Whiteside tonight, but they didn't expect Whiteside, who played 14 minutes last night and scored 6 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks, to not play today!

But that doesn't stop the Timberwolves from trying to save face.

The Grizzlies, who are in the last game of a six-game game and are back-to-back, have lost two important outside defenders, and they have not allowed new interior signings to play, and they have barely supported it, but they have not been able to hold on.

98-104, the Grizzlies broke off two consecutive wins, 2-4, and ended this wave of 6 consecutive away games that played all 5 teams in the Northwest Division with a not very good record.

Luckily, the Warriors, for their side, also lost, with the Warriors being slaughtered by 20 points 92-112 in their last meeting with the Spurs this season.

At the moment, they have a 50-25 record with both the Grizzlies and the Warriors.

After losing the game against the Timberwolves, Coach Hollins was asked about Whiteside, and some media asked why Whiteside didn't play tonight and if he was injured.

Coach Hollins' answer is simple, it's the team's preparation for the playoffs.

But the media don't write like that, it's not the answer they want, and of course, they don't make it up directly, but all kinds of "ask questions".

For example, is Whiteside injured? Is Whiteside hidden? How Whiteside How......

When the media touts a person, they blow it to death, maybe they don't pay attention to the player's problems, they only blow the positive things, maybe they know, but they don't know.

The media that hyped up this matter may really not know, but there are not many people who do basketball media who don't understand the ball, but most of them have to pretend that they don't understand, "don't understand" in order to have more room to play, and "don't understand" to not see what people who know the ball can see Whiteside playing the Nuggets Although the data is good, it makes a mess of the team's defense.

It just so happens that many fans want to see the matchup between Whiteside and Love, who have been very explosive in the past six games, with an average of 21 minutes of playing time per game, and can get almost two doubles + 3 blocks and a triple-double of blocks, but I didn't expect the Grizzlies to suddenly use Whiteside, the key is to lose.

As a result, the topic of fans discussing the Grizzlies was suddenly led by the media to why Whiteside did not play in the game against the Timberwolves.

……

……

6 consecutive aways, 2 wins and 4 losses, this record is a little worse, and all of a sudden the hope of 55 wins has been greatly reduced.

Now that we have lost 25 games, 50 wins and 25 wins, it's not bad, there are still 7 games left, there is still hope to get 55 wins, and we must rush to 55 wins, otherwise the fourth place in the West may not really be able to keep.

Coincidentally, Sun Ce found that after Whiteside joined the team, the team's 6 consecutive away games were a wave of three consecutive defeats, of course, Sun Ce felt that Whiteside could not be blamed for this, the other party has been playing hard, but the strength of the team is indeed not as good as in previous years, and it is so easy to win the Thunder team, it is because Whiteside can not react to the other party's reaction.

But when the Nuggets almost lost, Whiteside was really to blame.

Sun Ce felt that there were many reasons for this, first of all, Whiteside played better than expected, and then it was frantically blown by the media...... In addition, Sun Ce feels that a very important point, Whiteside's sense of crisis!

Sun Ce can understand Whiteside's sense of crisis, he was drafted by the Warriors to play in summer league that year, he didn't get playing time in the preseason, and he was traded...... Sun Ce also had an infinite sense of crisis then, and he still has it now.

At that time, his goal was to stay in the NBA and play, and the sense of crisis came from the fact that he might not be able to stay; The current sense of crisis is that he has ambitions that ordinary stars and even ordinary superstars dare not think of, but the strength is not enough.

Whiteside's side is simple, Sun Ce feels that Whiteside wants to "show ability" excessively, and the way he shows his ability is to take good data, and he does have the ability to take good data.

Sun Ce decided to go back to Memphis and have a good chat with Whiteside, as he said to the coaching staff before, Whiteside is only a base salary player, if you are not happy with him, just don't let him play.

But Whiteside's ability, if used in the right place, can certainly make a difference in the playoffs.

It's just that in the way he chats with ordinary teammates, Sun Ce feels that the other party may not necessarily have an effect, so he has to think about it......
