Lord, your team's form has fluctuated a lot recently, and the record is gradually being caught up by other teams, are you confident in the next game against the Bulls? ”

"Rose has overtaken you to the top of the MVP rankings, what do you think about that, do you think you can continue to win MVP this year?"

"Will Klay Thompson's absence affect your personnel rotation?"

"Stephen Curry twisted his ankle in a game and will be out injured for at least a month, and there are sports medical experts who have pointed out that Stephen Curry has a problem with his foot movement when he shoots, do you have any advice as the league's most healthy player?"

“……”

“……”

……

In his second and last regular season match against the Bulls this season, Sun Ce was surrounded by reporters as soon as he arrived at the arena in the morning.

Getting rid of the siege of reporters with difficulty, Sun Ce entered the stadium.

Too many people have paid attention to this game, and Sun Ce, as a direct competitor of Ross's side who has vowed to win the MVP, has a lot of pressure from public opinion and fan expectations.

More than a quarter of the games have been played in the new season, with teams already playing between 19 and 21 games.

Sun Ce's side started the weekly best game for two consecutive weeks, which was interrupted by Duncan, and then Lawson, the leading point guard of the Nuggets who bucked the trend, won a weekly best game.

On the Eastern side, James also started with the best of the week for two consecutive weeks, followed by Rose for the best of the week for two consecutive weeks.

Rose is a new generation of stars that the league has vigorously praised this season, and if he wants to become the face of the NBA, Sun Ce, the MVP of the regular season last season, is naturally the biggest obstacle, but it has also become the object of the league's support.

It's always more interesting to compete for hegemony than to be alone.

Relatively speaking, James, who currently has a bad reputation, No. 24, an outdated veteran, No. 24 on the West Coast, No. 35, who has a lot of fans but few die-hard fans and wants to drink bathwater, and Evans, who is noble and glamorous, and has no explosive points at all, are not suitable for use as a façade for publicity, and they can only rely on themselves if they want to be on top.

In this situation, Sun Ce's pressure is not small.

However, he is sure that the pressure on Rose's side will not be less.

In fact, the time when Sun Ce was under the most pressure last season was not the pre-season and mid-season when he was compared with Rose, but the period when Rose fell from the MVP list in the second half of the season due to injury troubles and changes in playing style.

That period of time happened to be the best time for James, but the league didn't want to go against the will of the people, avoid the loss of fans, and vigorously praise him Sun someone, and the media also thought the same, because at that time, Howard's performance had some declines, and Sun Ce was the person with the greatest probability of snatching the MVP from James, and Sun Ce was under the most pressure during that time.

Now fans in most parts of the country are hoping that Rose can snatch the MVP from him, and Sun Ce believes that the pressure on Rose will not be much less.

After adjusting his emotions for a while, Sun Ce turned the pressure in the direction of motivation.

There is no pressure to push yourself forward, how can you have so much motivation to work hard every day.

Coming to the Grizzlies, he scored 50+ wins in his rookie season, and for Sun Ce, the biggest pressure brought to him by the team's good results was also the source of his motivation to become a better team player, so he developed into what he is today.

After adjusting his mood, Sun Ce remembered the questions he was asked when he first arrived at the stadium and was surrounded by reporters.

Klay Thompson is expected to rest for a week with an ankle sprain, Sun Ce feels fatigued, and the NCAA has more than 30 games a year, plus March Madness, 40 games, and after the start of the new season, from December 25 to January 27, 19 games were played.

Shutdown, in addition to the state of the veteran can not be guaranteed, the rookies of each team are the worst, the physical requirements of the NCAA and the NBA are not at the same level, and the confrontation is bigger than the NCAA I don't know how much, even if the confrontation can be adapted, but the physical exertion will become greater, and the first rookie wall encountered by many players after entering the NBA is physical strength.

Now this shortened season, the schedule is even tighter than the main season, Klay Thompson has already sprained his ankle twice since the start of the new season, both caused by fatigue.

Unlike the original time and space in the Warriors' rookie season, Klay Thompson has a lot of pressure on the offensive end, as a rookie with defensive potential, he has to show his talent on the defensive end, and it is a shrinking season, and the pressure on Klay Thompson is much greater.

But it can't be helped, if you want to get ahead in the Grizzlies, you have to compete with Neil, who is currently stronger, you have to adapt quickly, the team has no patience to wait for him for a year or two, he has to show his talent as a 3D player quickly, and the team will get results immediately.

Because the original intention of the team to choose Klay Thompson was to choose a player that his grandson liked as the bag boy.

And Sun Ce remembered that someone seemed to ask about Curry's injury, and the shrinking season also had a great impact on Curry's side, Curry played well this season, averaging 22 points per game, but his ankle was affected by an injury.

This Sun Ce is not worried, as far as he knows, before the age of 30, Curry had a higher attendance rate than James in other seasons except for this shrinking season, and played 74 games in the least year, and at least 79 games in other seasons, it is not appropriate to say that he is a glass man, but at the age of 30, Sun Ce remembers that it was the 17-18 season, and Curry's physical condition became very bad.

But don't worry at this stage, the Warriors' team doctor team is still very good.

Putting these distractions aside, Sun Ce focused his attention on tonight's opponent Rose.

Yesterday, the team did not train, not because they didn't want to prepare for the next brutal trifecta, but because they had to rest, they just came back from a six-game trip, and they just returned to Memphis for a hot training, not to mention the training effect, and the team's health problems made it impossible for the coaching staff to make such a decision.

Health is the most important thing, and even if you don't win the regular season championship in the end, as long as you can ensure that the player is healthy and makes the playoffs, this season will be very successful.

However, Sun Ce was not idle, he went out to practice shooting in the afternoon, and also studied the recent situation on the Bulls' side, mainly the Eastern Conference Weekly Rose in the past two weeks.

So far in the new season, Rose has played an average of 33 minutes per game, 22.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 9.1 assists in 20 games.

The Bulls no longer point to Rose alone when they are in trouble, but instead give full play to the strength of their strong rotation that they have built up from the rookie bonuses of Rose and Noah in previous years, and the overall performance since the new season is not lost to the more than two months before Sloan replaced Thibodeau last season.

That is, the Bulls' team style of play reform has been successful!

Because in the early part of last season, the performance of the Bulls relying on Thibodeau to fight the main force to the death was phenomenal! And now, Rose, Boozer, Rohr Deng, and Noah have all played a lot less minutes than last season, and it is incredible that they can still play like that.

Don't underestimate the 3-6 minutes of playing time that are reduced, a few extra minutes of rest in a game is too important for the health of the players.

Suppressing the restlessness in his heart and the uneasiness mixed with it, Sun Ce calmed down, and before the pre-game meeting, he continued to watch Rose's game clips, simulating in his mind how to help defend Rose......

Preparing for the game in the morning, having lunch and taking a lunch break, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Sun Ce and his teammates began to warm up.

In terms of warm-up, Nash is an absolute role model, coming to the stadium in the morning to receive a massage of the joints from his personal masseuse, and every game day, except for pre-game meetings and simple tactical practice, almost all other times are preparing for the game.

Sun Ce knew a long time ago that others didn't pay attention to it at first, but then slowly noticed Nash's preparation for the game, and felt that compared to Nash, he was too unprofessional, and he was able to play at this age or at an all-star level, which was really not in vain.

At 5:40 p.m., after the warm-up, Sun Ce and his teammates entered the court together.

……

In North America,. TV live broadcast, ESPN live webcast; Some regions and countries in Asia have live broadcasts on ESPN, and in China, there are live broadcasts on Imperial Court Channel; ESPN live streaming in Europe......

In such a high-profile game, Memphis fans were also extremely enthusiastic, and the Bulls players were overwhelmed with boos when they played, especially Rose, who was the last to play, and the boos exploded.

After playing in the cheers of the fans, Sun Ce greeted Ross, Nash, Randolph, Boozer, Noah, Gasol Jr. and others in a friendly pre-match greeting...... provoked the other side in a wave.

Because both teams have the same goal, both want to take advantage of this shrinking season to win the championship, the season has progressed so far, the two teams have stood on the absolute opposite side, the same water and fire, the players of their two teams do not have the noble feelings of turning enemies into friends, they want to do the opponent, from a certain point of view, the current NBA is still barely in the tail of the old era of basketball, the opponent is the opponent, if it were not for the requirements of the league officials, the stars of the two teams should appear in the camera in the same frame, they are not rare to greet each other, smiling and hugging on their faces, group photo, but the words spoken in the mouth are not so friendly.

"You're going to lose, that's what I said tonight." Ross and Sun Ce had a smile on their faces when they took a group photo, and the words in their mouths were not at all friendly as their expressions.

"What did you say? You're going to give me another four-pair? Don't, I'm lazy, and I'm tired of reaching out and patting the cap you sent. Sun Ce smiled and poked Ross in the wound.

After saying hello, Sun Ce and his teammates returned to the bench, and the coaching staff had to make the final arrangements.

Just when Sun Ce listened to the arrangement of the coaching staff without saying a word, the system prompt suddenly came......

"The host played against MVP's biggest rival Derrick Rose for the last time in the regular season this season, and the third stage of the S-level event MVP journey: the spicy hand destroys the flower triggers ......"
