794. Jennings the Disappointing (4th Update)
60-15!
It's a fantastic record, with 7 games to go, anything can happen, like surpassing the Spurs!
The day after playing the Mavericks, Sun Ce came to the arena and actively prepared for the next home games with his teammates and coaching staff.
Last night's win was a fluke, the game process was unexpected, but a win is a win, Sun Ce and his teammates are very active in trying to hit the first place in the league.
After a short day of preparation, on April 7, the Grizzlies ushered in the first game of a back-to-back at home, facing the Bucks.
The Bucks' performance this season has declined dramatically compared to last season, and they have won only 33 games from 47 wins last season, and have been overtaken by the Pacers with 34 wins and 40 losses, falling to ninth in the East.
The loss of Luke Reedno, the team's boss and locker room leader, Reed's early reimbursement, his retirement heart, absenteeism about the team, and the wrong introduction of former Clippers star Corey Margetty...... The most important thing is that Jennings has not improved at all compared to his rookie season, and the number of assists has fallen, Jennings averaged 15.5 points and 5.7 assists per game in his rookie season, and only 4.8 assists per game this season.
Originally, at the beginning of the season, he was also a rising star who scored 50+ points in a single game in his rookie season, and some media and fans still hoped for him at that time, thinking that he might be able to improve to the level of Sun Ce, Evans and others in the second season.
However, looking at it now, there are many players in the class of 09 who have surpassed Jennings, Harden, Lawson, Holiday , Teague, DeRozan, Collison ...... These guys have all been rated higher than Jennings this season.
Curry, who Jennings looked down on at the beginning, has now become the fourth-best player in the class of '09, and only Sun Ce, Evans, and Griffin have performed better than Curry.
Of course, he is not yet 22 years old, he must have room for improvement in the future, but with 50+ in a single game in his rookie season, his performance is indeed disappointing, and he may have been affected himself, feeling that he should shoot more, but it led to the overall performance not being as good as his rookie season, and he was stubbornly unwilling to change.
In tonight's game, facing the defense of Tony Allen, who returned after a one-game break, Jennings was unable to break out, shooting 3 of 10 in a single game, and only got 7 points and 3 assists.
The best performance of the Bucks tonight was Bogut, who had 14 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks.
Bogut averaged 12.2 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2.8 blocks per game in the regular season this season, playing the best performance of his career.
With Sun Ce's 24 points, 7 boards, 7 assists and 3 blocks in a single game, Randolph's 28 points and 11 boards, and Morrow's 14 points, even if Gasol Jr. continued to rest, the Grizzlies easily defeated the Bucks 95-83 to win two consecutive wins, improving their record to 61-15 and approaching the Spurs!
In this game, Yi Jianlian and Paul George returned to normal levels, fortunately, the two did not float up because of their good performance in the last game, they were still the same, waiting for the opportunity, having a good opportunity to catch the ball, and honestly running and blocking if there was no opportunity.
The Grizzlies have a good team discipline and have played a good role in the growth and progress of the two.
What kind of strength, what kind of state, what kind of role, what kind of thing to sit on.
……
On the second day after playing the Bucks, the Grizzlies welcomed the Trail Blazers, who have been strong recently, back-to-back.
The Trail Blazers are currently fighting for fourth place with the Thunder, and the Nuggets made up of a group of young players are falling behind at the end of the regular season, and the Nuggets have just suffered a wave of three consecutive defeats, and they are expected to win 50 with 47 wins and 30 losses, but there is no hope of catching up with the Thunder with 49 wins and the Trail Blazers with 51 wins.
However, several young stars of the Thunder team withstood the pressure at the end of the regular season, all of them are a team of young, talented players, the gap between the Thunder and the Nuggets is obvious, in the middle of the season, the Nuggets can rely on a maximum of 12 rotation to play an amazing performance in January, but by the end of the season, the Thunder several core talents are better, counterattacking, and are expected to pull the Trail Blazers down.
The Trail Blazers naturally won't sit still, they have been playing hard recently, and the Spurs' seven-game winning streak was the end of them, and by the way, the Heat team in the East, which was about to surpass the Celtics, was also sniped by the Trail Blazers.
At present, the Trail Blazers are fighting strongly!
At six o'clock in the evening of April 8, the game between the Grizzlies and the Trail Blazers began.
Both teams are full of main players, Gasol Jr. has almost healed from his ankle injury after two games off, and there is no discomfort when moving at full speed, and Tony Allen has not rotated back-to-back, and the manual lineup has been rotated, Conley went to the bench, and Tony Allen started the game, wanting to improve the defense to the strongest from the start.
But the Trail Blazers are not good at stubble, Batum and Gerald Wallace and Cunningham form a forward defense that is so strong!
Andre Miller, Roy, Matthews, Fernandez, Patrick Mills composed of a guard line, they can get any characteristics of guards, and almost all of them have the ability to attack with the ball, and playing in such a team, even Roy's statistics are only 17.8 points and 6.6 assists, everyone is that kind of team player...... In addition to the rookie contract players and veterans' base salary, the salaries of the main players are not low, and almost all of them are long-term contracts, which must be very team.
From point guard to power forward, the Grizzlies didn't get a good deal tonight!
The Grizzlies and the Trail Blazers met this time, and it was the last meeting this season, with the Grizzlies winning two of the first three meetings and the Trail Blazers winning one.
Fighting, the Grizzlies' side has the biggest advantage...... Center! Gasol Jr.'s low-post single-handedness Aldridge became the main point of attack, which is rare, but Aldridge is also desperate......
Camby reimbursed, they poached the 213 cm big center Earl Baron, who averaged 11 points and 11 boards per game with the Knicks last season, Baron was reimbursed for the 08-08 season, and only returned in the last 10 games of last season, played 7 games, and improved on the basis of averaging 7 points and 5 boards per game in the 07-08 season, although it is surprising, but it is not a special thing to improve in the golden period of 29 years old, Baron was bought out in the early part of the season when he did not get playing time with the Bucks, and joined the Trail Blazers after the buyout, And then as people are used to......
Baron came to the Trail Blazers and played 12 games and was reimbursed again......
