The current head coach of the Hornets, Monty Williams, is very interesting, the management instructed him to mess with Bo Irving, the so-called management, that is, the league official, their management team has only one general manager left Del Demps, in order to save money, anyway, after the team is sold, the management will basically replace all of them.

So, Monty Williams did everything he could to lose, for example, before tonight's game, he told the players: We can lose, but we can't let that sophomore play inside them.

Sun Ce scored 20 points, 30 rebounds and 7 blocks on the head of the Lakers' three towers, shocking the basketball world, and the head coach said so, the Hornets players naturally didn't want Sun Ce to get so many rebounds on their heads.

As a result, Sun Ce was targeted by the other party.

It's quite rare for a team's head coach to order a player to snipe, regardless of how well the team is playing offensively and defensively.

But now the Hornets, who have no owners, potential players and instant power, are indeed similar to playing at home.

If the league hadn't invested 200 million to buy this team, this team would have been disbanded.

From a certain point of view, the Hornets can be regarded as playing very simply, so Sun Ce really has no performance on the defensive end.

It is often a complex offensive coordination, which is easy to produce blocks, steals and other data, because there are assisted defenses and pinch shots, and one-on-one singles, except for Jack and David West, who have stable one-on-one scoring ability, no one else has it.

Because of the opponent's strange defense and the offense that the opponent can't score if he doesn't need to help defend himself, Sun Ce played very easily.

But Sun Ce's data, Sun Ce played 9 minutes in the first quarter and was replaced, got 4 assists, quite good, since he and Conley started to partner with two point guards, Sun Ce's assists are less than last season, last season played an average of 26 minutes per game with 7 assists, this season an average of 32 minutes per game only 6.7 assists, this time 9 minutes to get 4 assists, quite efficient.

But there was only 1 rebound in 9 minutes!

2 points, 1 board and 4 assists, this defensive rebound is still Jack's shooting and smashing the basket The front bounced back too far Sun Ce grabbed it on the outside, and scored two points on the counterattack, otherwise Sun Ce would have no chance to score if he wanted to score, and he would have no chance to rebound.

When Sun Ce was replaced, the score was 25-11.

Conley, Morrow, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, Haddadi were substituted.

On the Hornets side, the lineup of Jack, Willie Green, 10-day short-term contract players Popos Monsabonsu, Carl Landry, and Aaron Gray were replaced.

Belinelli, David West, and Okafor, three players who have the heart to win and feel that the current Hornets have lost hope and become old fritters, have gone on the court, and the Hornets have played more actively.

Okafor still has a few years left on a big contract; David West's contract year is enough, and next season there will be no worries about losing his contract, and Belinelli is about the same as David West.

All three were short of money and felt like they were wasting their lives on the Hornets.

But the other players are different, they are very excited to go to a team like the Hornets, the Hornets are bad, which means that they may have a lot of playing time and really want to perform well, and this is their chance to win their next contract!

When it came to the rotation stage, the Grizzlies led by Conley and the Hornets led by Jack played well, the two core point guards were about the same strength, and the role player Grizzlies were stronger, but the Hornets played harder and played anxiously for a while.

However, it didn't last long, and at the beginning of the second quarter, Paul George and Yi Jianlian scored five goals in a row under the leadership of Conley, scoring 11 points in a row, and the Grizzlies suddenly opened up the difference.

In the middle of the third quarter, Sun Ce was replaced, and the lineup of Jason Williams, Morrow, Paul George, Yi Jianlian, and Haddadi was replaced, and the game was announced.

Sun Ce played 19 minutes in the third quarter, scoring 6 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists, and the Grizzlies led by 28 points at 73-45, and the game went into garbage time.

Sun Ce felt like a beep dog!

2 of 12 shots, he went up in the third quarter and shot 6 times on the outside, one didn't score, and there was a round where Yi Jianlian grabbed two offensive rebounds in a row and threw them out, he shot three times in one round, all iron, Coach Hollins couldn't stand it anymore, and replaced him after he got the data of 10+6+3.

In the end, the Grizzlies easily defeated the Hornets 106-85 to win two straight games and improve their record to 22-5!

……

……

After five consecutive home games, the Grizzlies have a 4-1 record.

In the early part of the season, the Grizzlies had a very strong performance, 22-5, the best start in team history.

But then comes the brutal mid-season.

The Grizzlies then get three days off, resting on the 22nd to the 24th, and starting the Christmas game on the 25th, even if it is the middle of the season.

On the morning of the 22nd, the Grizzlies' rest day, the coaching staff and management had a meeting to discuss mid-season issues.

For the Grizzlies, the biggest test in the middle of the season was physical fitness.

Sun Ce is okay, although his physical strength is average, he only has a good performance of about 30 minutes per game, but he has a strong recovery ability, which was shown in his rookie year, no matter how tired he is on the first day, he can recover his strength the next day.

This is one aspect of Sun Ce's "genius".

Mostly others.

Randolph patronizes weight loss, his condition is good and bad, and he will be 30 years old after this season, so he has to start saving, Coach Hollins does not plan to increase Randolph's playing time, a game of more than 30 minutes is enough, even if Randolph loses weight and his physical condition improves, he does not plan to improve his playing time, there is Yi Jianlian who can use it, and extending Randolph's career is a top priority for the Grizzlies.

Neither Coach Hollins nor Chris Wallace are confident that they will be able to recruit another top-tier interior player after Randolph's form declines.

Gasol Jr. and Conley have average physical strength, both of them are not young, Conley is 23 years old, Gasol Jr. is almost 26 years old, and their physical condition has long been concluded.

And Gasol Jr. and Conley are both at risk of injury, so this season's team rotation lineup is deep, Conley only plays 25 minutes per game, and Gasol Jr. only plays 28 minutes per game, which is well protected.

But now the troublesome problem is coming again, the inside line is okay, Yi Jianlian and Little Jordan are enough.

Tony Allen on the outside is in poor physical condition, Paul George, a rookie, has just entered the NBA, the NCAA and the NBA confrontation are not at the same level at all, and the Grizzlies are a defense-oriented team, the kind that takes the initiative to enhance the confrontation, and Paul George's physical strength is also a problem.
