1609. The Lord's March Madness Continues! (5000 words for subscription)
It's been 14 times!
The Lords Show of March Madness lasted to 14 shows!
Different from the previous Sun Crazy and Lin Crazy, this time Time Warner Cable Sports created a new term for Sun Ce's performance after the All-Star Weekend - Lord Show.
After All-Star Weekend, the performance of each team, who has to say the best...... It's really hard to judge, the reason why the Grizzlies' record hasn't been sprayed, but it's just called not good, is because the strong teams are not bad, and the bad ones have already fallen behind, or it's like the fourth to eleventh in the East, the record is very average.
In the past dozen games, the Bulls and Thunder are 10-2, the Lakers, Spurs, and Trail Blazers are all 10-3, and only the Warriors are 11-1 leading the teams.
The teams with the best records are not very far behind the Grizzlies' 9-5 record in their last 14 games.
If you want to say which team is far ahead in terms of record in this period, there really isn't.
It's just that in the case of little difference in the record at this critical stage in the past, the team that had an advantage before will have a more obvious advantage, and the chance of catching up with the gap that is difficult for the lagging side to catch up will become more and more slim.
There is definitely a gap between the teams in the playoffs, but it is not so common to say that the first division meets the eighth in the division and can be swept away, but it is rare to sweep, of course, the black eight is even rarer.
The teams that have the strength to make the playoffs, especially the Western Conference playoff teams, are not far apart when they enter All-Star Weekend.
At this time, in addition to the ranking changes, the most important thing for fans is personal performance!
The Grizzlies' record is unsatisfactory, barely passing the fans, and what really makes fans pay less attention to the Grizzlies' record is Sun Ce's performance.
How long can Sun Ce's Crazy March Lord Show last?
The media counted the Grizzlies' four games at the end of February after the All-Star Weekend into the game month of March, and called it the Lords Show of March Madness.
If the games of other teams are only those top popular teams that can compete with the NCAA Crazy March, then Sun Ce relied on his own strength to force the attention of the NCAA!
On the day of the Grizzlies and Pelicans, on the afternoon of the 17th, the University of Kansas with Wiggins and Emby and Duke University with Jabari Parker were both upset, and the three top favorites were out together, but they failed to steal the headlines of sports websites.
Lord, lord or lord, I don't know when this month will start, as long as the Grizzlies game is finished, the headlines of sports websites will have the word "lord"!

"Successor to the Wolf Serpent 2:
Goal 1: In tonight's game against the Pelicans, the host needs to complete at least one block each against Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis, and the host must have more blocks than Anthony Davis. (Host Block Kyrie-Irving: 1, Host Block Anthony Davis Count: 2, Host Total Blocks: 5, Anthony Davis Total Blocks: 2, Completed.) )
Goal 2: In tonight's game against the Pelicans, the host must be higher in points and assists than Kyrie Irving, or more rebounds and blocks than Anthony Davis. (The host scored 42 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists and 5 blocks tonight; Kyrie Irving 23 points and 6 assists; Anthony Davis 9 boards and 2 blocks. Done. )
Goal 3: Win tonight's game against the Pelicans. (Completed)
Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Kyrie-Owen Trait Transformation Skill Designated Skill Upgrade Card Fragment x1, Designated Skill: Error Upgrade Card Fragment x1. ”
Back at the hotel, Sun Ce took a shower, lay on the bed, and looked at the reward he had just received.
There are already 3 upgrade card fragments for Owen's characteristic transformation skills, and there are also 2 upgrade card fragments for the error designation.
But this season with the Pelicans is over!
Thinking that Owen and Anthony Davis are so easy to bully, and it seems that there is less and less time to bully so well, Sun Ce has some regrets.
It would be nice if I could play two or three more times with the duo this season and upgrade these two skills.
In this game, Irving still had 23 points, 4 boards, 6 assists and 1 steal, and Anthony Davis also had 25 points, 9 boards, 2 assists and 2 blocks.
But at the end of the regular season, the two can still maintain this state, although it seems that the data performance has not improved, but it is actually an improvement!
It's just a little worse than the visible improvement of his grandson in the late and early stages of each season.
The four-game road streak is finally over, and their Grizzlies record has improved to 45-21.
There are still 16 games left to play, Sun Ce's goal is still to hit 55 wins, keep the fourth place in the west, and rush to the third if he has the opportunity.
However, judging from the current situation, the Warriors are likely to hold on to the fifth and fourth, and Sun Ce doesn't want to lose the home court advantage in the first round, so next, he still has to fight!
Now Sun Ce has trouble with the fact that the media and fans pay too much attention to him!
Tonight's game was an ordinary regular season game, and it was not broadcast live, but after the game, Sun Ce was still surrounded by media from all over the world.
It's a fairly easy distraction for a player.
Fortunately, Sun Ce can look at the ability evaluation, the limit of the A+ level, which is not so compatible with the first person in the league, and he has to continue to work hard to get out of the feeling of almost floating.
Of course, if he is crowned with the title of the first person in the alliance, Sun Ce will not refuse.
Why not?
……
After a night without incident, on the morning of the 18th, Sun Ce returned to Memphis with his teammates, and finally, after playing 10 games in 17 days and 14 games in 24 days, he finally had two days off.
When he got home, Sun Ce lay down on his corpse, brushed the news, and watched the news that blew his grandson to relieve the pressure.
In these 14 games, he can be said to be the most tired one, physically, mainly mentally, to come up with various ways to mobilize the tired enthusiasm in every game, it is really a bit troublesome.
After reading these news that made Sun Someone a little floating, Sun Ce looked at the ability evaluation and quickly calmed down.
Today, Sun Ce did not train, but accompanied Lily Collins, who loved to play LOL during pregnancy, and Zu Goose, who was on the weekend, and then ...... was disgusted by the two girls, and the two girls went in double rows, and asked him to fight a big mess to practice how to play a group.
Because Sun Ce was easy to focus, he was very good at replenishing troops, but as soon as he became excited when he was in the group, he began to roll the keyboard in his face......
Busy and relaxing, Sun Ce feels pretty good.
On the 19th, a new week came, and Sun Ce also returned to the team to prepare for the 7 games in the 12 days from the 20th to the 31st.
Three consecutive home + four consecutive away, Sun Ce has become accustomed to this schedule, and his teammates have also become accustomed to it.
During the tactical meeting in the morning, the coaching staff announced that Yi Jianlian and Beverley could both come back!
However, Coach Hollins made it clear that the two will have a limited amount of playing time than before, with Livingston and Amir Johnson and Valanciunas getting more playing time.
Stoudemire basically won't play in the rest of the regular season, and if he is forced to play with an injury, he can play, but the Grizzlies are not a black-hearted team, and they can't do the kind of thing that they know will ruin Stoudemire's career, although Stoudemire has reached the end of his career, but as a role player, he can still last for two or three years with a base salary of more than 10 minutes per game.
Sun Ce sighed again that it was not easy, and in late March, there were finally 13 teammates who could appear, and Gobert, a god pit, could finally sit in a suit and watch the game.
For Gobert, Sun Ce is glad that this guy has not yet reached the time when he needs to rely on his playing time in the NBA to improve, to put it bluntly, this guy is not worthy of NBA-level game time to improve, and he is still in the period of training and low-level games to polish his basic defensive skills.
Otherwise, it will really delay people, not to mention that their Grizzlies team will give opportunities to young players who are in dire need of playing time this year, and even Livingston, Amir Johnson, and Valanciunas have not played much time at one time.
This year, the Grizzlies have been fighting for every period of time, and this season they have been the least friendly to potential players.
Today's tactical meeting focused on preparing for back-to-back games between No. 20 and the Jazz, and No. 22 and No. 23 against the Pacers and Timberwolves.
The direct point is to make a tactical plan for the game against the Jazz and the Pacers, prepare for the game against the Jazz this afternoon, and prepare for the game against the Pacers on the afternoon of the 21st.
Play the Timberwolves, just do it.
It is unlikely that he will hit 60 wins, and he needs to play 15-1 in the remaining games to hit 60 wins, but 55 wins, not only Sun Ce, but other players and coaching staff want to rush forward.
Starting in the 10-11 season, the Grizzlies have 55 wins in the 11-12 season, the season with the fewest wins, and they don't want to break it for three consecutive years.
Winning 10 of their 16 games, with their 9-5 record after All-Star Weekend, it looks like a good chance!
By noon, the Jazz had arrived in Memphis, and Son Ce, Klay Thompson, Tony Allen, Paul George, and Beverley had Jimmy Butler for lunch.
Towards the end of the season, Jimmy Butler has become the leader of the Jazz on the court.
Jimmy Butler likes it, and while he's not as strong as he was at the start of the season and is still pushing for a playoff spot, he just loves being the boss.
Looking at Jimmy Butler, although he is still very low-key when talking to Sun Ce and Tony Allen, but when he talks to Paul George, Klay Thompson, and Beverley, Jimmy Butler, who already has the momentum of a big man, Paul George is crazy in his heart and slanders his third brother.
Look! This is the spirit that young people should have!
This guy is about to be the first person in the league, and he is still in shape like that all day long!
But Paul George can't help it! Let's fight, you may not be able to fight, you can't play, you can't fight, what else can you do? can only honestly take on the responsibilities that he shouldn't have at his age.
I got together with my old teammates, who won two championships together, and returned to FedEx Arena in the afternoon to prepare for the game, except that Jimmy Butler went to the visiting locker room and separated at the fork in the road where the staff tunnel leads to the two locker rooms.
……
It was 12:50 when I returned to the stadium, and there were still 40 minutes before the pre-training warm-up time at 1:30 o'clock.
This time, no one robbed him, and Griffin and his grandson won the East and West Player of the Week awards, respectively!
7 times of the week, the past 18 days of this month plus the last 3 days of last month for 3 weeks, he Sun won two weekly awards, and there is still 1 week of games not played, but two weekly bests, as long as the performance in the next 7 games is not too bad, Sun Ce feels that he will definitely be able to get this month's Western Best of the Month!
Although they are all saying that he Sun is the MVP of a certain person, Sun Ce doesn't dare to be careless, and he can fight for it! This year's regular season has become the current situation, of course we have to fight!
A day of preparation time passed, and on March 20th, after the Grizzlies rested for two days, the brutal 12 days and 7 games began!
At 4:40 p.m., Sun Ce and his teammates entered the court.
Looking at Jimmy Butler on the other side, the strength is not very strong, A-level, averaging 16.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.9 steals per game, playing 41 minutes per game, and the average playing time per game is the first in the league......
It's really a manifestation of living and dying with grass!
Moreover, because Jimmy Butler was coached by the Grizzlies and polished his basic skills, Jimmy Butler's performance in the third year was even better than Sun Ce's impression, after all, Jimmy Butler, who was in the first and second years in the original time and space, was in a state of being freed by the Bulls, and the Bulls did not put this 30th pick rookie in the team plan at all.
At 5 o'clock in the evening, the game started, after two days of rest, and two more generals returned, and the Grizzlies team was full of momentum tonight!
After Yi Jianlian, who had been injured for half a month, came back, after winning the jump ball from Kante's head in the opening game, he randomly received a Paul George hanging ball after falling into the positional battle, smashed the ball into the basket through Kante, and also caused Kante to foul, and played a 2+1 when he came back!
Looking at the fierce performance of Yi Mu Hualian, who deliberately dyed his hair all red before his comeback, the fans at the scene were immediately ignited!
Yi Jianlian, who dyed his hair, anyone dares to buckle it!
Yi Jianlian also scored free throws, this goal, brought a huge morale boost to the Grizzlies' side, and in the next defensive round, Sun Ce triggered the "food break" and was extremely active in rushing out to grab the ball, and passed to Klay Thompson in the counterattack, who missed three points, but after passing the ball, Sun Ce, who ran all the way to the basket, grabbed the ball himself and gave it to Paul George, who followed up with a jumper from the free throw line to score two points.
5-0 in the opening game!
The Grizzlies' strength exceeded the Jazz's expectations, and after a wave of 5-0 starts, the Grizzlies held their advantage steadily and gradually pulled the score away!
The Jazz offense is not good, and it is strong in defense, but at the beginning of tonight's game, the Grizzlies, who were ignited by Yi Jianlian, did not defend very well, and the combination of Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Richard Jefferson, and Yi Jianlian is the strongest combination of the Grizzlies' offense!
After morale was ignited, even though Hardaway Jr., Amir Johnson, and Valanciunas were replaced in the second half of the second quarter with Richard Jefferson, Yi Jianlian, and Paul George, the Grizzlies' offense remained stable.
29-19, the Grizzlies took a 10-point lead in the first quarter!
After the start of the second quarter, the Grizzlies fielded a combination of Livingston, Beverley, Paul George, Amir Johnson, and Larry Sanders.
On the Jazz side, the lineup of John Lucas, Alec Burks, Jimmy Butler, Marvin Williams, and Ryan Hollins played.
This lineup has become the moment when Paul George and Jimmy Butler face off.
Paul George is stronger, Jimmy Butler is more desperate, Paul George really didn't have any advantage, but it was with Larry Sanders' help that Paul George gradually suppressed Jimmy Butler.
Midway through the second quarter, the Grizzlies led the Jazz by 12 points, 43-31.
In the second half of the second quarter, the Grizzlies replaced the combination of Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Amir Johnson, and Valanciunas, although Yi Jianlian performed well, playing 6 and a half minutes in the first quarter and getting 7 points, 2 rebounds and 1 block, but the team still didn't let him play more.
However, with this lineup, the Grizzlies still took the initiative!
At the end of the first half, relying on Sun Ce's counterattack to the follow-up Valanciunas, who received the ball and hit it, the Grizzlies ended the first half with a 58-43 lead, and successfully stretched the difference to 15 points at the end of the half!
Tonight's teammates performed well, Sun Ce passed the ball if he could, and his teammates who were in such good shape grabbed the limelight, before this game, he relied on the past 14 games 8 times 40+, and the average score per game has increased to 34.5 points, surpassing Durant with 33.3 points per game 1.2 points, and there is no shortage of points in this game.
And his teammates did not live up to his expectations, Sun Ce played 17 minutes and 44 seconds in the half, and got 13 points, 6 boards, 7 assists, 1 block and 2 steals!
Coming back from halftime, the Grizzlies sent a combination of Sun Ce, Beverley, Klay Thompson, Amir Johnson, and Yi Jianlian in the third quarter, ready to meet the Jazz's counterattack in the third quarter.
However, the Jazz team played too anxiously after coming up in the third quarter, and missed consecutive outside shots, and Sun Ce got 3 defensive rebounds after 3 minutes of play!
And, in the meantime, he got two assists!
Finally, the Jazz scored a goal, breaking the embarrassment of scoring in a zero-sport battle for more than 3 minutes.
Looking back, Beverley missed a three-point shot, Sun Ce took advantage of Yi Jianlian's rush threat tonight, grabbed the offensive rebound and then distributed it to Beverley, Beverley also dared to throw, and the three-point shot was shot again...... Finally in!
15 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, played 21 minutes and 05 seconds, Sun Ce got three doubles! The Lords Show continues!
