1506.Owen the Counterfighter (3rd Update)
Sun Ce agrees that the combination of Irving and Anthony Davis has very good prospects.
These two may not be good to lead the team separately, but the two complement each other very well, and with the Hornets signing back from their two rookie contracts, both have had a much better start to their careers than they originally would.
The point is that the two are still on the same team, and that's the biggest difference.
If it is when their own team is in good shape, they meet the Pelicans, and the Grizzlies are not afraid, if the opponent feels against the sky, and they Grizzlies lose, it doesn't matter, but they are all in a normal state, and they have a lot of confidence that they can win.
But now their Grizzlies side has lost two in a row, and the opponent has won two in a row, and the state is very different.
Fortunately, it was Larry Sanders who came back on their side and gave his teammates a big confidence boost.
……
……
The day passed, and on Nov. 10, the Grizzlies' second game in a four-game row arrived.
The Pelicans were in Memphis yesterday, but because the Pelicans were on consecutive road games, they didn't practice yesterday and only came to FedEx Arena this morning to practice.
At 7:55 in the morning, when Sun Ce came to the arena with Zu Ge and Gohan, Klay Thompson had already arrived!
Asked the trainer about it, and Klay Thompson arrived at 7:30!
After Klay Thompson trained a set of sideline three-pointers and shot 94 of 100 training statistics that Sun Ce envied, Sun Ce took a towel and handed it to him and asked, "Klay, you seem to be excited today?" ”
"I'm going to fight Owen tonight!" Klay Thompson's answer was succinct and to the point.
"What's wrong with hitting Owen?" Sun Ce didn't know why.
"I'm in the same class as Owen!"
“……”
"Third brother, you don't know that Owen and I are the same players, right?"
"Uh...... I think about it, you seem to be from the class of 2011 too, I forgot about it, who made you only a month younger than me, and Owen is more than two years younger than me? Why are you in such a hurry? ”
Looks anxious...... This adjective, Klay Thompson heard for the first time, but the meaning was so obvious that he knew what it meant as soon as he heard it.
Is this a hurry? That's simply two years older!
Klay Thompson turned around and left, continued to train, ignoring Sun Ce, this guy is too bad!
And Sun Ce's side, he really didn't regard Klay Thompson as a player in the same year as Irving, he simply forgot, because in the 11-12 season, Klay Thompson's first year in the NBA, was the main rotation, and in the year he won the first championship, rookie Klay Thompson played a bigger role than Paul George, who was in the second year at the time.
However, Klay Thompson's excitement when he was about to face the Pelicans reminded Sun Ce of three or four years ago, when he first entered the NBA, he was also with other players in the same class who wanted to kill Evans, and in the second year, it was the same players who wanted to kill him and Evans.
By the third year, he had become a contemporary, and everyone wanted to kill him.
There is Paul George, who wants to play against Hayward, Leonard, Wall, and Chandler Parsons; There's Klay Thompson who wants to Irving.
Sun Ce feels that the young players in his team still have goals, and these goals will become the driving force to push them!
……
After a morning of pregame meetings, tactical practice, and an afternoon break, at 6 p.m., the Grizzlies host a game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
The Pelicans played one more game than their Grizzlies and had a better record, and Sun Ce did feel the pressure.
And these pressures.
"Ping Mamba A+, averaging 20.5 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists per game......
Brother A+, averaging 20.5 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.5 blocks per game......
Standing Mamba B+, averaging 15 points and 5 rebounds per game......
Compass A-, averaging 16.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game ......"
Sun Ce looked at the opponent's four players who averaged more than 15 points per game, although he didn't know how the other party's continuation would be, but it was really fierce at the beginning of the season!
It may be because of the momentum of the young team, but to be able to play like this means that they are talented!
It may be inexperienced, and the results will be dull later, but the start of the season is really impressive.
In addition to these three starters and the sixth man, the defensive cut-through Aminu has a B level, and Lopets Jr., who is good at defense, blocking and pick-and-roll, and eating cakes, is also a B level.
There is also Anthony Morrow, who averaged 8.5 points per game in the opening game and averaged 1.5 three-pointers per game with a 50 percent three-point shooting rate in the first six games.
Rivers Jr. is also better than Sun Ce imagined, averaging 7.5 points and 2.5 in 20 minutes per game, and a good two-way guard off the bench.
In addition, Brian Roberts, a 28-year-old second-year backup point guard, Jason Smith, the starting center for the Hornets last season, and Luke Babbitt, who was poached from the Trail Blazers, are all good substitutes.
Under Kidd's guidance, the Hornets have rotated 11 players this season, averaging 106.5 points per game and conceding 102 points per game since the beginning of the game.
From the scouting report, Sun Ce knew Kidd's coaching philosophy - to cultivate dual-core training.
Irving's stats this season are down slightly from last season, but his efficiency has actually improved, averaging only 31 minutes per game, and Anthony Davis is not particularly high, averaging 33 minutes per game.
From the part of cultivating rookies, Sun Ce feels that Kidd has done a good job, and his coaching level is also above the standard.
……
After making the final preparations before the game, the game was about to start, and Sun Ce came to the technical table to wear equipment.
Owen also came up to put on the headband, and when he put on the headband, he said proudly: "Lord, our record is better than yours!" ”
Owen just wants to snort now, and there aren't many opportunities like that...... It's not just that it's not much, although he is very confident in himself, but the Grizzlies are the top three favorites in the West, and when they get back to form, they will definitely not continue to rank in five or six places like this.
But Sun Ce just responded: "Oh, I see. ”
After speaking, Sun Ce tidied up his arm guards in front of the camera and turned to play.
This attitude, Owen is so angry! Although I can guess that the other party is deliberate, I am still angry!
And Sun Ce's side is indeed deliberate...... If you can make the other party not calm, it can have the effect of affecting the other party's mood and then affecting the other party's state.
But as soon as he stepped on the court, Sun Ce's system prompt came!
"The new host has joined the fifth season of his career, and is gradually stepping into the ranks of Mesozoic players, and the S-class event dominates the new generation to advance to the S-class event: the bully.
Bully(S) Phase 1 Event: Irving the Counterfighter triggers ......"
