765. Is it okay to give some face? (1st update 5K)

In the regular season, it's a new day to sleep after winning, and it's the same if you lose.

The thing to do well is not to be complacent when you win, not to be frustrated when you lose, to adjust your mentality, to be under pressure, but to put in the next game.

Early the next morning, Sun Ce and his teammates flew from the northeast of the United States to Detroit in the central region of the northern United States, basically resting in the hotel from morning to noon, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, Sun Ce and his teammates came to the Auburn Hills Palace Arena to prepare for the game.

After a brief tactical meeting, Sun Ce and Coach Hollins sat and chatted in the lounge.

"Coach, why didn't Zach come to Detroit with us? He's not healed yet? ”

"The temperature has dropped, he still has cold symptoms, it is not appropriate to have more contact with you, we decided to let him go to Los Angeles to rest first, the climate is warm there, and when we finish playing the Pistons, he should be almost recovered."

Knowing Randolph's condition, Sun Ce put his mind at ease and focused on tonight's game against the Pistons, striving to win 50 wins tonight!

The last time they played against the Pistons, the Grizzlies lost, and that time Randolph was in a very unstable state before and after the season, and it happened that Randolph was not in good shape that night, and he was beaten by Prinske again, and the Grizzlies were back-to-back overall sluggish and some people were rested, and unfortunately lost to the opponent.

Now the situation is not quite the same, although Randolph does not play, but the coaching staff has no rotation plan today, there are two days of rest after playing this back-to-back, Randolph can't play, Coach Hollins does not let others take turns to rest, to ensure that the weak team can win the game steadily.

……

At 7 p.m., the Grizzlies' away game against the Pistons began.

On the Grizzlies' side, the starting lineup of Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, and Gasol Jr. appeared.

Conley and Battier were put on the second lineup, and tonight the Grizzlies will have to rely on defense to solve problems and make sure they can win the game.

Unlike the last time they played against the Pistons, this time Paul George, Yi Jianlian, Gasol Jr., Morrow and others have improved significantly.

The improvement is not in the technique and strength, but in the tacit understanding with his teammates, even Paul George, who has not improved much in the course of the season, but he is a little more experienced than before, knows what role he wants to play in the team, the running position on the offensive end, and the habits on the defensive end, have improved significantly.

After Yi Jianlian changed his style, he was also very different from before, and he made rapid progress in terms of cutting consciousness, although there was not much progress in technology or anything, but he could better play his due ability in the team.

Jordan Jr. and Morrow are more experienced in cooperating with their teammates, especially Morrow, who is getting better and better, with an average of 2.4 three-pointers per game has stabilized, and the Grizzlies' three-point aspect is basically supported by Morrow, Conley, Battier, and Paul George, and Morrow alone is up to the rest of his brothers.

And Sun Ce is the one who has made the most obvious progress!

Tonight and Yi Jianlian, a teammate with excellent blocking and dismantling, Sun Ce firmly launched an attack with blocking and dismantling after the start of the game, and the effect was not bad, mainly defensively, Gasol Jr. had an all-round advantage against rookie Monroe tonight, and Monroe was not to be defended, Tony Allen and Paul George were put in the starting lineup, facing the backcourt combination of Starkey and Ben Gordon, mobility and confrontation were dominant, and the opponent's backcourt combination was locked.

Although the Grizzlies have one less scorer who averages 20+ points per game, and the offense has become a little worse, it is enough, and in the seventh minute of the first quarter, Sun Ce only shot 1 of 3, but hit all two free throws, scored 4 points, and had 4 rebounds, 3 assists and two blocks, and the Grizzlies went into the official timeout 14-9 with a 5-point lead.

After the official timeout, Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Yi Jianlian, and Gasol Jr. were replaced, and the lineup of Conley, Morrow, Paul George, Battier, and Jordan Jr. came on the court to play the rotation stage.

On the Pistons' side, Will Bynum, Hamilton, Maddy, Villanueva, and Ben Wallace played.

The Grizzlies' rotation strategy today basically ensures that the starting lineup and the rotation lineup are balanced, with the starting lineup being strong defensively and the rotation lineup being stronger offensively.

Tracy McGrady, 31, Competency Evaluation B-...... He averaged 23 minutes per game and averaged 8.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game...... Shooting 44 percent from the field and 34 percent from three-point range......"

Eight years ago, it would have been hard to imagine Maddie playing on the same team as Hamilton and Ben Wallace, but the reality is so cruel.

Maddie has regressed too much compared to three years ago, and Maddie still averaged 21+5+6 data per game in the 07-08 season, but there is still a big difference between ordinary superstars and those superstars whose dominance can run through one or even two generations.

However, Maddie seems to have easily accepted the matter of playing as a substitute and becoming a supporting role, playing very happily on the bench, with less pressure, almost no injuries, and at the end of the regular season, he has only missed 7 games this season, and his performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is not bad, averaging 8+3+3 per game while averaging 0.3 steals and 0.5 blocks per game, in the confrontation with Paul George, Maddie seems to be at ease, bullying and bullying talented rookies, Maddie can still do it.

However, Hamilton and Ben Wallace have slipped too much, Hamilton's offensive performance this season is not as good as Prince's, and they have been put on the bench, Hamilton's mid-range shooting this year is almost the worst in his career, with a shooting rate of 37 percent, both the number of shots and the shooting percentage are worse than Sun Ce's performance.

The main thing is that the Pistons no longer regard him as a part of the future, Hamilton will enter a contract year next season, the Pistons have been peddling Hamilton in the middle of the season, but they have not been able to sell it, and the 5-year 55 million contract with more than a year left is still too big, and other teams just want to wait for the Pistons to buy out.

Sun Ce heard that Sloan, the new coach of the Bulls, wants to get Hamilton, and Hamilton is also discussing a buyout with the Pistons management, wanting to reach a buyout agreement before the playoff application deadline on March 30, after March 30, players who have been under NBA contracts before that will not be able to represent other teams in the playoffs even if they are cut.

Will Bynum was completely abused by Conley, and the backup point guard for a team like the Pistons obviously has to have more dishes; Hamilton has no intention of fighting; Ben Wallace is no longer what he used to be, and after being cut by the Suns, he returned to the Pistons for a low-wage pension; The eyebrowless hero was prevented by the president to death......

Except for Maddy, who had the ball in the bench stage, he felt very interested in facing Paul George, who was the same size as the Raptors and the Magic, and played hard, and also overpowered Paul George, which was quite a joke, and the Pistons had no other highlights.

For a long time, the Grizzlies used Yi Jianlian and Jordan Jr. to take turns playing center, and other positions did not change, this lineup played to the middle of the second quarter, and the Grizzlies played the score to 41-32 before the official timeout in the second quarter, leading by 9 points into the official timeout in the second quarter.

Conley played for nearly 11 minutes, it was time to come down and rest, Sun Ce consciously took off his training clothes, sat on two sessions of radio gymnastics, and walked on the court to rub magnesium powder on the technical table with Maddie, who was still going to play.

Maddie saw Sun Ce come to the technical table, smiled at Sun Ce, and didn't say anything.

Sun Ce didn't say anything, just fight against Maddie, go all out is the greatest respect.

After returning from the timeout, the Pistons side, Starkey, Maddy, Ben Gordon, Jason Markhill, and Monroe came on.

On the Grizzlies' side, the lineup of Sun Ce, Jason Williams, Morrow, Yi Jianlian, and Jordan Jr. came on the court, ready to rely on offense to establish a clear advantage before halftime.

Obviously, in the face of Sun Ce's leading fast break, Jason Williams' assisted pass + three points, Morrow's three-point combination, and the impact of the double-emperor combination, the Pistons couldn't stop it at all in the rotation stage.

Sun Ce also strengthened his personal offense, as long as Maddie defended it, he focused on shooting.

In more than 6 minutes, Sun Ce made 3 of 4 shots, including a 2+1 score that caused a foul by Mark Hill, who made up the defense, and got 7 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, and the Grizzlies played a wave of 16-9 before halftime.

At halftime, the Grizzlies easily sealed their lead at 57-41.

Maddy played 17 minutes in the half, and after the official timeout in the first quarter and before the official timeout in the second quarter, he played well against the defense of Paul George and Morrow, and got 10 points and 4 assists in those 11 minutes, so Pistons head coach John Kuster let Maddie play a little more, but after the Pistons were taken by the Grizzlies to run, Maddy didn't play well.

Although Maddie's strength is not as good as it was back then, her consciousness is very good, and she wants to suppress the rhythm, but she can't hold it down, her teammates are running with the Grizzlies, but there is no order, Maddie only has consciousness left, and her performance is naturally not good.

In the third quarter, Sun Ce began to shoot a lot in the first 10 minutes, kept shooting, and scored 10 points on 4-of-11 shooting in 10 minutes, raising his personal score to 21 points and then being replaced.

21 points, 10 boards, 7 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals, Sun Ce played 23 minutes to get the season average data, the Grizzlies did not give the Pistons a chance to upset this time, after the third quarter, they have led by 21 points 79-58.

The game entered garbage time, and Sun Ce watched Maddie, who was abandoned by Pistons head coach Kuster in garbage time and replaced in garbage time in the third quarter, and spent three seconds feeling the cruelty of the years...... Then he began to celebrate 50 wins with Yi Jianlian, Jordan Jr., Battier, Gasol Jr. and others twisting and dancing on the sidelines!

Conley, Morrow, Paul George, Sam Young, and Haddadi were playing garbage time on the court, and their teammates suddenly started to commotion, almost flashing to the waists of these teammates who were brushing up on the court......

In the end, the Grizzlies easily defeated the Pistons 104-80, avoiding a losing streak and improving their record to 50-12!

After the final whistle, Maddy, who played 29 minutes tonight and scored 14 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, and had a good performance, watched the joyous scene of the Grizzlies celebrating and was envious, but he had no chance.

He thought twice that he would have teammates like Sun Ce to challenge for the championship with him, but it turned out to be completely different from what he expected.

In 2000, he thought he was going to be Fisher, next to Duncan and Grant Hill, but he turned out to be a superstar;

In 2004, he thought that he was going to form a new version of the OK group with Yao Ming, but the whole team except for him and Yao Ming, there was no one who could play, and there were two supergiant teams that could not pay the luxury tax once, and it was even more incredible that the role players had short-term contracts, and there was room to eat a superstar every year and summer.

But it was already like this, and Maddie was good at accepting the reality of it, shrugged her shoulders and prepared to leave the court.

At this time, Maddie saw the No. 3 player on the opposite side running towards him with his mobile phone.

"Tracy, can you take a picture with me?" Sun Ce asked with the mobile phone that the staff had brought to the locker room in the fourth quarter.

"Of course, I'm honored."

"Cool!"

Sun Ce turned on the selfie mode, held up the phone, and compared his left hand to the scissor hand.

Maddie looked at Sun Ce's scissorhands...... After hesitating for a moment, he also compared the scissor hands......

After the group photo, Sun Ce handed out a pen and said, "Tracy, can you give me your jersey?" ”

"Absolutely." Maddie said and took off her jersey, took the pen and signed her name, handed it to Sun Ce, and then looked at Sun Ce with expectant eyes.

Who knows, Sun Ce said "thank you", took the jersey and left.

Maddie looked down at herself shirtless and watched Sun Ce take away her jersey in her jersey...... What's going on?

It's not what you think!

Maddie's head rang in the back of a West Coast No.24 player talking to him about this guy: This bastard is going to kill people!

……

……

After beating the Pistons, the Grizzlies became the second team in the league to win 50.

With 20 games left in the regular season, we're getting closer to the playoffs.

At this stage, the Suns and Pacers, who still have hopes of making the playoffs, are desperately trying to squeeze into the playoffs.

The morning after playing the Pistons, Sun Ce and his teammates headed to Los Angeles.

There are two more away games, today and tomorrow, No. 13 against the Lakers, No. 14 back-to-back against the Timberwolves, after this wave of four consecutive away games, back home has four consecutive home games, followed by four consecutive away games.

In fact, there are not many games this month, 16 games are acceptable, mainly back-to-back, 5 back-to-back in a single month, two have been played, and there are three left.

Relatively speaking, before playing a strong team, there is always a day or two off to prepare for the game.

On the plane, Sun Ce looked at the latest scouting report.

At present, the top eight in the West are the Spurs, Grizzlies, Lakers, Trail Blazers, Mavericks, Nuggets, Thunder, and Rockets in order.

The top eight in the East are the Bulls, 76ers, Celtics, Heat, Magic, Knicks, Hawks, and Bucks.

The Rockets, who are eighth in the West, are currently 33-28, and the Suns, who are ninth, are 31-31.

The old man's core combination of Nash + Carter + Hill played really well, with Fry, Gortat, Brooks, Dudley, Childis, Varik, Lopez Jr. and others, and kept the winning rate at 5%.

The Bucks are 27-34 in the East, the Pacers are 27-35, and the two teams are fighting for the eighth-place spot, with the Bobcats with 25 wins behind them.

The East has been so polarized this year that it is highly likely that a playoff team will have less than 40 wins.

Sun Ce looked at the Spurs' 52-10 record, the Lakers' 47-14 record, and the Mavericks' 47-15 record...... The next game against the Lakers is crucial!

Since All-Star Weekend, the Lakers have played 10 games and are 9-1, and the Mavericks are 10-1, which is better than the Grizzlies.

In particular, after the Spurs were killed by the Lakers, they lost the Pacers rotation, suffered two consecutive defeats, and after the number of losses reached 10 games, the Lakers and Mavericks continued to exert their power and started the victory mode although the winning streak was ended.

Now the Grizzlies and Lakers have both won one game after their winning streak was ended, and they are only two losses away.

After arriving at the Los Angeles airport, Sun Ce did not go to the hotel with the team, asked Coach Hollins to help him go to the Lakers to ask for a few tickets, and stayed at the airport to wait for his parents and two little sisters.

The team received a call from Bill Duffy before, promising to prepare a room for Sun Ce's family, and Sun Ce took them to the hotel where the team stayed after receiving the people.

It doesn't take much effort to build the indoor court on the new home, and the sound of table tennis is still ringing every day, just on Friday, Sun Ce's parents and Wang Keying took their ancestral goose to Los Angeles to watch the game, Wang Keying will also go back to school next week, Sun Ce's parents will also return to China after the indoor court is repaired, the masonry has fallen sharply, and the house with the main structure of wood has been built very quickly, and there is not much time to get together this time, and you can stay together for two more days.

Sun Ce successfully received his parents, Wang Keying and Zu Gee, and went to the hotel smoothly.

It's just that when I arrived outside the hotel and was surrounded by reporters, a little accident happened......

There are more people around Sun Ce's father than Sun Ce! Mainly domestic journalists!

The new Internet celebrity Bawang's father exploded on the Internet, but even domestic reporters couldn't find the opportunity to interview, in recent days, Sun Ce and his father stayed at the construction site every day to help and do odd jobs, and never went out.

Seeing Sun Ce's father who was surrounded, Sun Ce and his mother, Wang Keying, and Zu Ge all hid to the side, saying that they didn't know him, but they were secretly listening.

Sun Ce's father was taken aback, and he answered whatever others asked.

"Xiaobawang said that he didn't run as fast as you in high school, and if you want to beat him, he never escaped, is it true?"

When this question was asked, Sun Ce's father instantly became interested, and said angrily: "Don't say that he is in high school, now if I want to beat him, he can't run away, I will beat him to cry every minute......"

"it!"

Sun Ce almost spurted out when he heard this mouthful of blood, he didn't expect his father to float up with this virtue.

It's okay to give some face!

Can this be said in front of so many people? He said this to respect his parents, and his father said that he didn't want to lose face!
