680.NBA's Last Rival (Part 1)
“……
Event Goal: Prevent Chris Paul from winning the 2010-2011 regular season MVP.
Event Reward: Special Caderon Williams' Thanksgiving. ”
Thanksgiving? Not thanks?
Sun Ce felt strange when he saw the name of this special card.
It may be a problem of the current environment, it is difficult to have the so-called "enemies of life", James and Wade were also regarded as "enemies of life", Wade reached the finals in 06 and won the championship, James reached the finals in 07, although he did not win the championship, but he also experienced the supreme stage of the NBA, and the two were players of the same class, and they were crowned by the media as "enemies of life" gimmick.
But the two of them went to play together, and since then, there has been no such thing as "lifelong enemies".
Therefore, Sun Ce, who is currently playing in the NBA, does not understand how deep the grievances between Delon and Paul are with the mentality of a player, or how strong the mentality of the two wants to compete with each other, has reached the point where the other party will be grateful to the person who won the MVP if he did not win the MVP when he was conditional.
But when you think about it, it's understandable that Paul and Delon are barely old tail players.
"Chubby and Brother Pao are actually the last pair of mortal enemies, I really didn't expect ......"
Just when Sun Ce was surprised by Delong's obsession with Paul, Delong saw that Sun Ce did not refuse, and as Sun Ce agreed, he turned his head and left, as if he had never said anything.
This kind of thing, fake other people's hands, is a big blow to Delon's self-esteem, but he can only do this.
Sun Ce looked at the back of Delong leaving, thought of Delong's future, and felt that Delong might know what had happened to him.
The Jazz's revenge on Delon for forcing Sloan to retire is really rare.
It's no problem to use revenge to describe the Jazz trading Deron to the Nets, and there is an example in NBA history of sending an All-Star-caliber player to a messy team, and this player has not been able to integrate the leadership ability of a bad team, and can only brush data on the bad team, and over time, it really becomes a data brush.
For example, Delon in the original time and space has been brushing up on the Nets for more than a year, and by the time Garnett and Pierce, Kirilenko, Gerard Wallace and others who still have the energy to go back are traded, he is already useless.
So, the Jazz are too ruthless! Not losing to Angie and trading Pierce for the impact of their reputation in the minds of the players.
The environment has too much influence on a player, just like the Kings and the Timberwolves, for so many years, the Timberwolves have played a LeFou, the Kings have played an Evans, and there are no other talented rookies who have played, and the high-pick rookies they selected are really all parallel goods? Matter.
Sun Ce walked onto the court, waiting for the game to start, and Sun Ce turned his attention back to the incident itself.
There was no punishment for this incident, so Sun Ce didn't have the urge to go up and strangle Delong.
However, this special card Sunce has been used, and it has been recognized by Iverson before, and the brother's approval, and the back Sun Ce has not had a good chance to use it, and the World Championships were too busy last summer, and Iverson's recognition of the special card Sunce used.
Through Iverson's approval, Sun Ce knew that this special card was based on the condition that the user had the idea of giving guidance, or had a tendency to agree to the request, and had a good impression of his grandson.
And if you don't achieve that kind of "favor", you won't get the special card.
and Delong learn to block and dismantle...... Of course Sun Ce wants to learn, the blocking and dismantling teaching of the ball holder of the double brake system, Sun Ce wants to learn very much.
But there was a precedent for Reggie Miller to be reluctant to teach him three-pointers, and Sun Ce heard about it from Tim Hardaway, because he learned mid-range shooting with Jordan, and with the mentality of an old player of that era, even if he went to visit, Stockton probably wouldn't pay attention to him.
The people of that era were arrogant, so they could only start from this incident.
To grab the MVP directly, Sun Ce feels too difficult, he will definitely not miss the opportunity, but it is really too difficult, just his identity as a second-year player invisibly increases the difficulty of winning the MVP.
However, the goal of the event is to prevent Paul from winning the MVP, and there are two scenarios that can be done, one is to get the MVP directly, which will undoubtedly get Delon's gratitude.
The other is that other people win the MVP, but they may not really get Delon's gratitude, unless he becomes a key factor in Paul's failure to win the MVP, such as giving Paul or Paul's team a blow in a head-to-head matchup as another MVP contender, and reducing Paul's impression in the minds of the media, experts, and announcers in the MVP vote.
"Let's take one step at a time! There is still half a month to fight the Knicks, and then we will find a way to ......"
……
At half past three in the afternoon, the Grizzlies' away game against the Nets began.
Before the game, they were still happily talking together, although they only exchanged one sentence, but there was a consensus.
But when it came to the game, Delon saw Sun Ce and played an unprecedented enthusiasm after joining the Nets.
It's not the aggressive grabbing the ball and brushing the stats like before, but devoting himself to shooting, passing, and blocking and picking with his old teammate Chris Humphries.
After being decadent for half a month, Delong saw Sun Ce and was ready to start working hard, although he knew that he had arrived at such a bad habit team, and the future was bleak, but he was unwilling to accept his fate.
The Nets' current general manager, Bobby Marx, is really good, and after less than two years of the former core combination falling apart, he has formed a starting lineup of Delon, Vujacic, Travis Otero, Chris Humphries, and Da Lopets.
Vujasic, C+ level ability evaluation, 27 years old, in his prime, averaged a career-high 12 points per game, defense and ball handling were terrible, but his running and receiving shots were excellent, averaging 1.7 three-pointers per game, the best shooter on the Nets.
Travis Otero, B-level ability evaluation, 26 years old, averaged about 13 points per game in the Trail Blazers for two seasons with the Trail Blazers in the sixth, was delayed by the Clippers for a year last season, came to the Nets this year, and played not as good as the Trail Blazers period, but the strength was there, and when Deron showed the attitude of wanting to play well, the quality of this high-quality role player was given a chance to show.
Chris Humphries, 25 years old, with a B+ ability evaluation, averaging 10 points and 11 rebounds per game, entered his prime, and got a 4-year, 44 million contract extension on January 1, and the new owner is so atmospheric.
All three of these players were brought back by Bobby Marx with empty gloves from the White Wolves, and it couldn't have been better to be able to assemble a role player roster without this team getting Deron yet.
The first quarter reached the sixth-and-a-half-minute minute as the dead ball went into an official timeout.
Sun Ce returned to the bench and sat down, and glanced at Delong opposite, this girl, just now, she looked like Hongchen was half dead and ran to ask for help, but when she got to the game, she turned her face and didn't recognize anyone!
Fortunately, their side is well prepared, Coach Hollins is very serious about preparing for this game, no, the team is led by two average 20+ players per game like DeLong + Lopets, with a double-double aunt, two good role players, and 12 points in the first half of the quarter against their defense.
Humphries and Deron were teammates for a year, and Humphries, who entered the NBA in 04, basically laid down his basic skills in the Jazz, and was invited to join the Nets with a salary of 3 million US dollars last summer.
With the threat of Da Lopez in the low post, Vujacic's steady open shots, and the impact of Otero, coupled with the blocking and pick-and-roll of Delon and Humphries, the Nets' offense is really okay.
Fortunately, the opponent moves slowly inside, Humphries is okay, Da Lopez is now as slow as a snail, Randolph shows off his strength on the inside on the offensive end, Humphries, who has flexibility and rebounding ability, is not as strong as him, and Da Lopez, who has confrontation ability, has no rebounding awareness and can't keep up with the speed, Randolph made good use of his advantages, got 3 offensive rebounds in the half quarter, and scored 8 points in the half quarter, helping the Grizzlies play a 15-12 start.
Sun Ce scored two points and two defensive rebounds in the first half of the quarter, which was not bad.
Because of the preparation, the Grizzlies weren't surprised that the Nets played better than expected and had to rely on Randolph to burst out to take a three-point lead.
On the contrary, because of the constant emphasis, the Grizzlies players have that impression in their hearts - the opponent has two All-Star level players, and the strength is good, although it is awkward to see Delon in the team meeting, but now I am not too surprised.
Coach Hollins sent out a lineup of Conley, Tony Allen, Battier, Yi Jianlian, and Gasol Jr. after the official timeout.
Playing steadily, using defense to deal with the opponent's current situation, which is probably an outbreak, Coach Hollins handed the game to the players, and he was responsible for the transfer.
This rotation is doing well, at least better than the opposing head coach Johnson, so why is it certain that it is better? Because the junior general Johnson did not change at all, and the starting lineup continued to be rigid, he really couldn't find any solution to the problem, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to win in the East with the lineup of Harris + Da Lopez before.
Avery Johnson is the head coach, unless he is given a five-man singles lineup like the Mavericks back then, don't expect him to do too much, he will be a fried rice with eggs, and he can't ask him to cook a complicated meal.
Deron's earnest start to the game gave his teammates a boost in motivation, and he played a very good first quarter, and after the first quarter, the Nets went into the second quarter with a two-point lead 27-25.
But the Grizzlies are very stable, after Deron scored 14 points and 4 assists in a single quarter in the first quarter, Tony Allen continued to fight against Delon and finally began to show effect in the second quarter, and the Grizzlies began to play a ratings killer again!
