Before Sun Ce played 40+ games in three consecutive games in the past three games, no one thought he had a chance to enter the top 10 of the 40+ games in a single season.

Even, no one thought in any direction.

Sun Ce had 14 30+ in the first 52 games, and there were 30 games left to get 5 40+, which was not very easy, and some perennial scorers who averaged 20+ per game had less than 5 40+ in their entire career.

Even the vast majority of players have never scored 40+ once in their lives.

is as strong as James, and the highest number of 40+ times in a single season was 10 times 40+ in a single season when he was in the third grade.

Durant, who has not had a single game of 40+ with 10+ times in a single season.

In addition, the Grizzlies are about to usher in a crazy March with 6 home and 11 away games...... When the NBA's official columnist analyzed the second half of the regular season schedule after All-Star Weekend, he gave the Grizzlies a "warning" name for the March schedule, which was called "March Madness."

Under such conditions, no one has thought about Sun Ce in this direction at all.

However, Sun Ce was cold and had three consecutive 40+ games.

When this topic became popular, the NBA official also "added fuel to the fire" and posted a picture on the homepage of the official website, with four players on it - Chamberlain, Jordan, Kobe, and Sun Ce.

As always, there is no link, just a picture, and it doesn't explain anything, but under the current public opinion, every fan who understands the current hot topics knows what it means when they see the stickers on the homepage of the NBA's official website forwarded by major media.

Zhang 20,000 occupies the top four positions in the top five of 40+ times in a single season; Boss Joe is the only one in the top five in modern basketball, and there is also an eighth; Bryant finished seventh in contemporary basketball in '05-06, tied with McAdoo for ninth in '06-07, and singled out for 10th in '02-03......

These three are ranked in the top three in history in terms of scoring explosiveness, which is currently recognized.

And now, Sun Ce, an extremely surprising guy, has appeared!

It was indeed an accident, how did Sun Ce become a historic-level scorer in the past two years?

Although he also scored high scores in his career in the first three years, his "stability" has improved dramatically in the past two years, especially this year, if he can't get 30+ in one game and doesn't get a triple-double, others will think he is performing abnormally!

……

……

"Why have people's expectations for my grandson become so high?"

Sun Ce looked at the topics that were expected of him to accomplish something, and felt very awkward.

It wasn't like that last year, and since the start of this season, the expectations have grown.

Not the gradual kind, but a direct outbreak!

It's as if the expectations that he had been described as a "system superstar" for the first three years of his career were not given to him were all thrown at him this season after he established himself as a superstar last year.

After thinking about it for a while, Sun Ce found that he had to "thank" ESPN.

At that time, because ESPN and others promoted his "talent ceiling theory", and some teams wanted to get him to boost him, his reputation was lowered for a while, but at the same time, people's expectations of him were lowered during that period.

At that time, ESPN belittled him as a "system superstar", although it did make him very unhappy at the time, but it really created time for him to "develop obscenely".

But it also made him encounter additional expectations no matter what he did this season, and the fans' expectations seemed to explode like crazy after the pressure.

Sun Ce counted the things that fans had infinite expectations for him.

The triple-double is ranked first, and while he is not required to average a triple-double per game, the difficulty is about the same, as there is already an opponent who averages a triple-double per game and has played 57 games and has 25 triple-doubles.

The king of blocks, Anthony Davis is really good at this, partnering with Lopez Jr. and Ryan Anderson, and the cooperation is very good, averaging 3.2 blocks per game, which is closely behind his grandson.

Scoring champion.

A duel of the best pitcher combinations.

Now there's a 40+ race for the rankings......

The goals that these fans have high hopes for him, any one of them is taken out alone, and the other players have completed it, and they all deserve to be blown up.

For example, Anthony Davis has maintained the No. 1 block list for most of the season before the All-Star Weekend, and has been praised as the "No. 1 interior player in the future".

And he has to fight for everything.

However, his all-round development of technology and the environment in which he is located can really fight for everything!

Their Grizzlies team just has a lot of injuries, but the introduction of each new player is carried out around his grandson, someone can be injured and someone can be on top, but the depth and strength are not as good as the previous two years, this year is really supported by the three major outside lines, of which he Sun is the most critical, and he also played a more terrifying data than last season, with a shooting rate of 49.7 percent and a three-point shooting rate of 37.6 percent, which has made great progress compared to last season.

When fans were hotly discussing and the media were hyping Sun Ce's decision to hit the 40+ times in a single season, Google Sports columnist Wojina Wowski wrote an article that analyzed in more detail what fans have infinite expectations for Sun Ce and Sun Ce is trying to accomplish.

In addition to those analyzed by Sun Ce, there are also four consecutive years of block king, consecutive scoring champions, and the third MVP...... In fact, many things are the same thing, but with another name, it seems more difficult.

Wokina Wowski pointed out in his analysis that this season, if Sun Ce did all these things in the regular season, regardless of his performance in the playoffs, this year will be the year for Sun Ce to make another leap after determining his superstar status!

If these achievements are achieved, then Sun Ce is not expected to become the strongest player in the league, if he does, he is the strongest player in the league today!

……

A new month has arrived, and on March 1, the Grizzlies' first game of a three-game winning streak has arrived.

A new month, 17 games, four back-to-backs, starting with an away back-to-back.

The first challenge is the Washington Wizards.

Coming to the Verizon Center players, the Grizzlies opened for interviews before lunch after the Grizzlies' morning tactical meeting and practice.

Just before the interview began, the NBA officially announced that Sun Ce won the Player of the Month award for the second time this season, and he is also the only player in the league to win the Player of the Month award multiple times this season.

In the West, in the first four months, James and Westbrook each won the best of the month once, and Sun Ce twice.

On the eastern side, Wall once, Rose and Griffin combined for once, Evans once, and Dragic once.

After four months of playing, Sun Ce won two best of the month and five best of the week, sweeping away the situation of not winning the award last season, and after he was no longer the "defending MVP", the situation was completely different.

After the interview began, Sun Ce was surrounded by reporters...... Facing reporters who were more excited than himself, Sun Ce didn't expect these reporters to be so able to create topics, and they talked about it, and they talked about the first person in the alliance.

Rao is Sun Ce's ability to do it again, this topic of hatred, he did not answer directly, but stopped the passing rookie Gobert and asked: "Rudy, who do you say is the best player in the world to play basketball?" ”

Gobert looked at the reporters around him, his heart was surging, playing in the Grizzlies, it was really pressure and motivation that never stopped, even if he was a player whose playing time was unstable tonight and did not make the activation list, there were many reporters around, this is pressure, and it is also the motivation to push the team's role players to play hard.

Hearing Sun Ce's question, Gobert replied without thinking, "Michael Jordan!" ”

"Get out!"

……

After a day of preparation, at 5 p.m., the Grizzlies' away game against the Wizards began.

The 31-26 Wizards are currently in eighth place in the East, overtaken by the Knicks.

This year's playoff competition is very fierce, and many teams have started the playoff mode directly after the All-Star Weekend, fighting for that playoff ticket.

And the Wizards may be too young, the trio of Wall, Waiters, and Tristan Thompson performed very well before the All-Star weekend, and Wall also beat Wade to enter the All-Star starter, and even the league moved Evans to the position of a frontcourt player to support Wall.

But after All-Star weekend, Wall played like a Pacers player.

The last time he played the Grizzlies, Wall drove a triple-double away and overturned the Little Bully.

But this time, Wall was blown up!

Paul George and Klay Thompson, who were blown up by Wall last time, have the team's number one defensive big brother to back them up tonight!

Mr. Tony instructed online how to defend against Wall, an All-Star point guard with strong impact but no shooting ability, Wall shot only 4 of 14 tonight, scoring 12 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

Wall is the most critical part of the Wizards' rise, he didn't play well, and the Wizards' offense collapsed across the board.

107-92, the Grizzlies took revenge on the Wizards away and ended their two-game losing streak.

During this time, Sun Ce's hand was in an excellent state, or it was a continuation of the mid-range shooting in the last game before the All-Star Weekend, the three-point contest and the All-Star Game, after the All-Star Weekend, Sun Ce's hand has been in a state of explosion, and there was only 11 points in one game, which was played by the Knicks, but he was not allowed to shoot.

Livingston, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, and Hardaway Jr. all got assists on him tonight, Sun Ce did a good job of running without the ball, shooting 26 times in the whole game, 15 of 26 shots, of which 6 of 8 three-pointers were the most deadly, played 33 minutes in the game, and scored 44 points, 14 boards, 4 assists and 4 blocks!

Klay Thompson was also ignited by Sun Ce, making 4-of-6 three-pointers and scoring 20 points in the game.

The most comfortable assist was Paul George, with 11 points, 8 rebounds and 16 assists, and the number of assists set a new high for his career, but he still couldn't grab 10 rebounds after learning from Sun Ce's life-threatening rebounds...... The road to the three pairs is long.

……

After playing the Wizards, the Grizzlies flew to New York the next morning, and at 8 p.m. on the 2nd, they challenged the Nets away.

106-114, the Grizzlies lost the game.

And with great losses! Larry Sanders and Yi Jianlian were both injured, and Garnett pestered the two while grabbing the board, but accidentally slipped and brought the two down, resulting in the three leaving the field together with injuries.

Sun Ce scored 27 points tonight, 4 consecutive 40+ interruptions, but still has 11 boards and 13 assists, and their Grizzlies overall offense actually played well tonight, Paul George scored 20 points, Klay Thompson 16 points, and Prince scored 14 points after Yi Jianlian and Larry Sanders returned injured...... But the Nets coached by Rivers have strong offensive firepower, averaging 107.8 points per game, ranking fifth in the league! In front of them are only the Grizzlies, Heat, Spurs, and Lakers.

The roof leak happened to rain overnight, not to mention, this tile is often broken, a hole here and a gap there, can never be filled.

Yi Jianlian fell back-to-back this time, and the preliminary diagnosis was ankle sprain and thigh muscle strain, and he had to go to the hospital for MRI and whether there were structural injuries.

Larry Sanders had a false alarm on his side, and it looked like the most painful of the three who fell to the ground, but it was only a hard injury, and it hurt on the floor, and only his wrist was twisted when he was on the ground, and of course he had to go to the hospital for a detailed examination.

There should be no big problem for the two, but Yi Jianlian is injured, and in the current situation, it will have a greater impact on the team than Larry Sanders' injury!

Yi Jianlian has taken on heavy responsibilities this season, serving as a starter most of the time, averaging 13.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.5 steals per game, which is very beautiful, and has entered the peak of his career.

But the fight is really tiring! The average playing time per game is 23 minutes, which is not much, but he has to fight with all his strength when he plays, fight without the ball, cut, block and dismantle, reverse run, fast attack, don't look at his usual words, he may not react when the opponent slaps him, but he has been working silently to play such an efficient performance.

But because of this, he was already in a state of fatigue, and the three people who fell this time, he was the most seriously injured.

Larry Sanders, on his side, must also pay attention, not long after the cracked finger bone healed, and now he has a sprained wrist.

When he was doing physiotherapy at the end of the game, Sun Ce looked at the team's injury list.

Beverley, Yi Jianlian, and Larry Sanders can't play next.

Paul George suffered a slight knee sprain that didn't affect much; Stoudemire is old and injured, so he can't play more, and running the lineup is already the time when he can perform relatively efficiently; Mr. Tony is also an old injury, he is very similar to Beverley, he plays too hard, he has to miss more than 20 games every year, and he has to miss more than 20 games if he doesn't take a rotation, and there are not many injuries in the past three years, which is related to the team's rotation strategy for the previous three years.

And this year, the team did not implement the rotation rest strategy, not because they didn't want to implement it, but because they couldn't implement it, so Mr. Tony had a lot of injuries.

But Tony Allen's hard work has paid off, as the team are already in talks with him about a contract extension and have offered him a condition he can't refuse...... Three-year middle-class contract, this change team is unlikely to be able to get, the general team does not need it, the general strong team is more important for them to stabilize their own characteristics, rather than to strengthen anything, and the strong team can't afford it.

What's more, the team has promised to retire Tony Allen's jersey once he retires!

The group of players who won the championship together, Sun Ce, Randolph, and Gasol Jr. must be retiring their jerseys, while among so many other players, only Tony Allen has received such a commitment.

After this game, Sun Ce looked at his team's record, played 58 games, 39 wins and 19 losses, and there were 24 games left, and there was basically no hope of hitting 60 wins.

And, here's something even more troublesome!

After the All-Star weekend, the Warriors won five in a row, and their current record has become 37-21, rushing to fifth in the West, menacing!

There are 10 playoff-level teams in the West this year, the Timberwolves are slightly behind, but they also have a winning rate of about fifty percent, and the internal friction in the West is not much worse than that in the East, so in addition to the top two in the West, the ranking of the other 8 teams is very fierce, and as many as 9 teams in the top ten in the West are expected to win 50+ games, but in addition to the top two, the third to the ninth, the record will not be particularly good, and it is estimated that it is possible to rush to the third with 55 wins.

Sun Ce and the Grizzlies don't have much idea about their regular season record this season, with only goal - first-round home-court advantage.

But with the momentum of the Warriors, Sun Ce feels dangerous!

……

……

Although the Grizzlies lost again, on March 3, the first day of the new week, Sun Ce won the Player of the Week for two consecutive weeks in the Eastern and Western Player of the Week announced by the league, increasing the number of Player of the Week of the season to 6 times!

The Player of the Week and Player of the Month awards have already doubled the number of times they did last season.

Meanwhile, despite the Grizzlies' 3-3 record after the All-Star Weekend, Sun Ce ranked first on the MVP list for two consecutive weeks!

6 games, 4 times 40+, two triple-doubles, the Grizzlies overall performance is not good, but Sun Ce's personal performance continues to be hot.

On the morning of the 3rd, the coaching staff let the players sleep lazily, flew to Chicago in the afternoon, and after a night's rest, at 6 p.m. on the 4th, the Grizzlies' last game on the road against the Bulls began.

Originally, the Grizzlies felt that this game was going to be played, and the team was once again short of major generals, and there were only 12 players on the team, which was a lot, but for a team like the Grizzlies, where everyone played hard to maintain high efficiency, one less person had no small impact.

And the Bulls are 3-1 after the All-Star Weekend, losing to the 76ers in the first game after the All-Star Weekend, winning three in a row in the past three games, and resting for two days at No. 2 and No. 3! The point is that the Bulls are healthy!

In tonight's game, it was true that the Grizzlies played badly offensively, shooting 37 of 92 from the field, shooting only 40.2 percent, and only scoring 92 points in the game, nearly 20 points lower than the season average per game.

But!

The Bulls are in even worse shape!

The Bulls had 20 points and 22 boards on 8-of-20 shooting, Noah had 15 points, 8 boards and 4 assists, and Mike Dunleavy scored 11 points, and no one scored in double figures! Rose only had 7 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists!

Relying on Sun Ce's 35 points, 18 rebounds, 7 assists and 7 blocks, the Grizzlies defeated the Bulls 92-80 and increased the number of wins to 40 wins!

Looking at Rose's shooting percentage of 2 of 12 shots, Sun Ce felt so good! Three of the seven blocks tonight went to Rose.

It's a pity that the last time Rose was in too good shape, so he lost the opportunity to sweep Rose in the regular season this season, otherwise he could make up the third All-Star point guard card, and when he won the triple-double this season and got a turtle card, he could get the blessing of the new legendary point guard......
