On May 3, Sun Ce got up early and set off for San Francisco again with his ancestral goose.

So far in his career, Sun Ce feels so powerless for the first time!

The first two games were won hard, and the next three games were directly lost three in a row.

It has never been so difficult, and this year is even more difficult than the previous first-round game against the Mavericks!

Because the Warriors are young, in this series, Sun Ce watched the Warriors play better and better!

This is a team that has the strength to compete for a championship, but Sun Ce feels that his team has lost the dominance of the previous two years, and it is the Warriors who have played dominant.

As for the Warriors' head coach Mark Jackson's rigid rotation and stubborn tactical aspects, these aspects are gradually being ignored by the Grizzlies.

Mark Jackson's rigid rotation and stubborn tactics don't mean it's bad!

The reason why he is so stubborn is because his rotation is a good regular rotation, the tactics are very good regular tactics, he is not willing to take risks from the bottom of his heart, and the regular rotation and tactics are inherently very good, which is the core reason why Mark Jackson is not willing to take risks.

When Curry played so well, using the outside shooting threat to drive the Warriors' entire offense, and the Warriors' offensive tactics were executed very well, it was too strong!

In any tactical system, the ideal state must be invincible, and the focus is on feasibility, player allocation, and execution.

Five James tactics like Pat Riley said, that's definitely invincible.

But James is James, there is no second, Evans is known as the James of the point guard position, but compared with James in the fifth year of his career, the gap is still relatively obvious, and James in the fifth year of his career is almost the defensive ability of the best defensive team, and he is already a stable player.

Every superstar in NBA history is unique, even Kobe Bryant, who is most similar to Jordan, is actually completely different in detail.

The Warriors' tactical system is good, most of Steve Kerr's tactics that took over the Warriors in the original time and space are also inherited from Mark Jackson's tactical system, the Warriors players are selected around this system, the players are strong, the execution is good, and the players are smart, especially Curry, Mark Jackson once said that Curry's style of play will ruin the team, Curry also endured those dissatisfaction in the playoffs, but led his teammates to fully support Mark Jackson coaching, and did not infight because he lost the first two games.

The Warriors, who have come together for victory, already have a championship phase!

In the face of such an opponent, Sun Ce has to admit that without Randolph, there is a gap between them and the Warriors, which may not be big, but in the playoffs, both sides have already figured out each other's games, and the slightest gap is very fatal!

Because more Randolph makes up for the lack of strong offensive ability on the inside, it is only to supplement this, and when there is no Randolph, they must have found a way to avoid this, Randolph comes back, the efforts made to circumvent this point, and the progress in other aspects, may become less effective, or even regress.

But surely if Randolph can play and can play at the level of 80% last season, they will be less than that little bit of difference.

Because that little bit is very fatal, the three games that I lost, all lost on that little bit.

Every time Sun Ce loses, the media laments that the Grizzlies are only a little bit behind.

This time he went to San Francisco, and Sun Ce was ready not to come back.

It can be said that it has reached the point of fighting against the water, winning and dragging to tie-break, and losing and going fishing in Los Angeles to show the No. 24 player.

During the flight, Zu Goose was still chattering as before, but the content of the conversation was different, the last time she went to San Francisco, Zu Goose was talking about the Warriors players, and even when she came back, she was talking about other series, but this time, Zu Goose was talking about what happened to her at school.

Obviously, Zu Ge didn't want Sun Ce's nerves to collapse too tightly, at this time, moderate relaxation, transfer of pressure, Zu Ge wanted to help Sun Ce in what he could.

In fact, Sun Ce's own side, playing until now, in addition to feeling that he is not strong enough, the pressure is not as great as before the series starts.

At that time, I didn't know what my team would do in the playoffs, and I was worried about the uncertainty of the Warriors, who were about to start their path to dominance in the next season...... and other complex emotions filled Sun Ce's mind.

But now, Sun Ce understands the specific strength of his team, and it is very clear, very clear, that they lack dominance in the playoffs without Randolph, and the defense is not so good, and they really have to defend just, and the offense cannot be maintained, and this is what Randolph can do when he is there.

Sun Ce also learned about the Warriors, they are very strong! The champion has been highlighted.

Curry may be a little stronger than his contemporaries in the original plane, and Harden, although he can't play the role of Klay Thompson's top 3D player, his offensive ability when Curry needs to share the pressure is far stronger than Klay Thompson, a player who is about to become a superstar, and any team can get him is a fortune.

Although Tabit only played 244 or 5 minutes a game, he was in the offensive end of the basket height threat, defensive end close range and rim protection ability under the basket, he can even interfere with long-range shooting when blocking and pick-and-roll, although he can't get it back, but the Warriors have patiently cultivated four years of harvest is not small.

When the strength of the two teams was in front of him, Sun Ce didn't feel much pressure, this was something that could not be helped.

Of course, it's not that there is no chance, if their side performs exceptionally well, the other side performs averagely; Or maybe they're acting normally, and the opposing Curry doesn't continue to soar, and they still have a chance to win.

You may need to gamble on luck, but luck is part of strength.

In such a clear situation, Sun Ce's mentality was exceptionally stable.

This is the calmness that a quasi-three-time MVP, a two-time champion and a two-time finals MVP should have, he didn't deliberately adjust his mentality in this regard, but after winning so many honors, he naturally has such a mentality, and the more others feel that it is over, the calmer he is.

……

……

As the first round of the playoffs deepens, some teams have gone fishing, and some teams are still in the middle of a fierce battle.

The Bulls and Spurs swept their opponents to advance to the second round on May 1, and the first place in the East and West was very obvious to the eighth place.

Jimmy Butler is on fire again in this playoffs, playing the Spurs series, Jimmy Butler played in 4 games, averaging 22.5 points, 7.5 boards, 3 assists and 2 steals per game, and the current head coach of the Jazz Suns predicted that Jimmy Butler would become an All-Star next season.

However, the general argument is that Jimmy Butler will most likely have a real All-Star next season, but it is much harder to be an All-Star in the West than in the East.

No. 2 also had a team to advance, with the 76ers beating the Raptors 4-1 to advance to the second round, giving the Raptors no chance to continue struggling.

DeRozan "made a big show" in this series, averaging 21 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game, which looked pretty good.

However, he shot 35 percent from the field, made 35 of 100 shots in 5 games, and averaged 7 of 20 shots per game!

The Heat also defeated the Knicks 4-1 to advance to the second round, and Dragic also came up in this round of the series, the only game won by the Knicks, Dragic scored 20 points and 3 assists in the final quarter, and led the team to a 32-22 score when the Knicks were 8 points behind in the third quarter, and turned the game strongly.

Although the Knicks won this one, Dragic became popular and showed that he is completely different from Nash, a point guard with excellent single defense and scoring priority, and not a playmaking guard like Nash at all.

Before the winner is decided in the East, only the series between the Nets and the Pacers remains, and the Nets lost the battle of Tianwang Mountain, falling behind 3-2, and the Veterans will return to their home court to play Game 6 against the Youth Army.

On the Western side, except for the Spurs, the other three series were tied 3-2.

The Lakers led the Mavericks 3-2, not to win the battle of Tianwang Mountain, but the Lakers won the fourth away game, but the Mavericks went to Los Angeles in the fifth game, and they were stunned to pull back a city, and the No. 4 Mavericks will return to the home court to try to drag the game to a tie-break.

The Trail Blazers lost their home-court advantage, winning their fifth home game after falling behind 3-1, and will return to Oklahoma City with a big score of 2-3.

The series that have not yet been decided in the first round are all matchups between popular and strong teams.

The series can be played to this point, there is no longer a question of familiarity with the opponent's style of play, and the two sides have a clear understanding of each other's strength.

Now, the two sides are fighting for the state, the grasp of the details of the game, and the tactical response at the key moment.

……

At noon on May 3, the Grizzlies arrived at their hotel in San Francisco, and the NBA officially announced the most important award of the regular season this season - the Most Valuable Player of the regular season.

This award is important, but it is indeed the most suspenseful award, none of the 125 people with voting rights abstained from voting, and Sun Ce relied on his crazy performance in the regular season, although his record was only ranked sixth in the league, but he got all 125 first votes, becoming the first player in NBA history to unanimously win the regular season MVP!

The performance of the first round of the playoffs will really affect the opinions of voters, and Bill Wharton, a Time Warner commentator who has the right to vote, tweeted after learning that Sun Ce was unanimously voted MVP: "I was hesitant to vote, and I almost didn't want to vote for the Lords, but fortunately I didn't ruin this great moment." ”

Sun Ce is different from the first time he won the MVP, he has won two championships, although they Grizzlies are at a disadvantage in the first round of the playoffs, but as a superstar who has successfully won two championships and is only 24 years old and on the rise, he has the right to vote as a commentator, media, and radio anchor...... All voted for him!

Sun Ce was unanimously elected as the MVP of the regular season, this matter is not very big, MVP is MVP, when discussing historical status and strength, it is difficult to take this as a part of judging the ranking or strength, and it is used as a talking point among fans to play a greater role, and the role of media hype is greater.

Because this is only a single-season comparison, it is difficult to say how much advantage Sun Ce's regular season dominance this year has compared with 70 wins over James and 72 wins over Jordan, because it is not in the same season, there is no comparison in the same environment, and the two MVPs are James' peak year, and Jordan's three consecutive years of the most fierce start, it is difficult to say who is greater.

However, although it can't be used to improve the historical status, after all, at this stage of Sun Ce, the MVP has reached the time to fight for numbers, but at this moment, the confidence of their Grizzlies players has a big effect!

At this time, the media hyped Sun Ce's dominance in the regular season, giving the Grizzlies players a belief that their team has the strongest MVP!

Now for their Grizzlies, the series with the Warriors, fighting for the state, this can't be controlled, Curry's high three-point shooting rate in the past two games, no one expected, Sun Ce couldn't have imagined that there were Klay Thompson, Beverley, Tony Allen taking turns to defend, Curry didn't even have a cylinder, and he could shoot 8 of 12 three-pointers.

Although he lost his shooting cylinder in the playoffs, he was so much taller than Curry, a recognized "177 cm" player, that he was much less affected.

The Grizzlies have always done a good job of controlling the details of the game, otherwise they would not have lost by a single-digit margin of 45 points in Curry's last game.

Similarly, the Warriors also controlled the details well, especially in Game 3, seizing the opportunity of the Grizzlies to score three consecutive goals and lock up the victory in one fell swoop.

Tactical response to key moments...... Both teams did not do well, and it was difficult to affect the opponent's performance.

So now, it's a state of fighting, and morale!

After losing three games in a row, the morale of their Grizzlies team was greatly affected, and the news that Sun Ce was unanimously elected MVP was announced today, which greatly encouraged the morale of the Grizzlies players!

Before the MVP award was announced, several other awards were announced.

Manager of the Year, taken by the Bulls, they got Griffin, and trading Boozer plus two draft picks for Griffin is definitely more profitable than trading Paul for James, and Paul is a strong candidate for a burst of defense.

The Sixth Man of the Year was won by Nowitzki, who averaged just 20 points per game, and became the team's scoring champion off the bench, which is the second time in NBA history, the last time was the Bucks' leading scorer in the 89-90 season, Ricky Pierce's average of 23 points per game is the highest average points per game off the bench in NBA history.

Nowitzki's performance is no doubt that he will win the best sixth man.

The bench averaged 20 points per game, which has only appeared three times in NBA history, in addition to these two, the other person is also the best sixth man, Eddie Johnson, a small forward for the Suns in the 88-89 season.

Rookie of the Year McCarvey got 79 first-place votes and won it steadily, although his name has come out, averaging 17 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists and 2.2 steals per game, the team record is only 19-63, the league's bottom, but none of the players in the class of 2013 can really be brought out for McCarvey in his rookie year.

The Most Improved Award was won by Knicks player Goran Dragic, averaging 21 points and 7.4 assists per game, and the 27-year-old Dragic played the best performance of his career so far.

……

After Sun Ce won the MVP, Sun Ce did not rush to hold a press conference and let the team wait, if he lost the sixth game next, he would receive the award while fishing.

If you can win the sixth game, then go back to the home stadium to present the award and boost your morale!

has experienced so many things this year, although Sun Ce is extremely eager to win, and his heart is still full of immature thoughts like a teenager, but for this round of the series, he can accept it calmly if he loses or wins.

It's just, fight, you must do your best!

Both sides are familiar with each other...... Sun Ce is going to make the other party unfamiliar with him tonight!

Anyway, it's already come to this point, Sun Ce has also let it go, fuck it!

After the pre-game meeting in the morning and basic tactical training, today's pre-game preparations are over, just waiting for lunch, afternoon rest, and Game 6 against the Warriors at 7 p.m.

By noon, another big prize for the regular season was announced.

The NBA officially announced that Heat center Tyson Chandler won the 2013-2014 Defensive Player of the Year with 25 percent of the vote, beating Noah with 22 percent of the vote and Duncan with 21 percent of the vote.

Paul George came in fourth with 14 percent of the vote and missed out on the Defensive Player of the Year.

Hibbert is fifth, Ibaka is sixth, Anthony Davis is seventh, Thabit is eighth, Jordan Jr. is ninth, and James is tenth.

When Sun Ce was eating lunch, he saw this vote rate when he was watching the news on his mobile phone, and it was almost the past two years, thinking that when Howard was at his peak, there were eighty or ninety first-place votes, and now, the first-place votes are extremely scattered, and the top three are about the same.

What hurts Sun Ce the most is how Duncan got another 24 first votes, although Duncan did not have the first vote when the MVP voted, but the second vote also ranked third, getting 21 votes, except for Sun Ce, who won all the first votes, and Rose and Evans MVP scored higher than Duncan.

But look at Duncan's regular season averages 15.2 points, 10 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2 blocks per game, and in the first four games against Kanter and Marvin Williams, he averaged 21 points, 11 rebounds and 4 blocks per game...... It doesn't seem to be a problem.

Sun Ce thought about it, if he remembered correctly, Duncan would still have three formations and two defenses next season...... One of the strongest is Duncan's defensive efficiency, Sun Ce has a very impressive statistic, Duncan except for the 08-09 season, 09-10 season, and 10-11 season, which are in the transition period of his style of play, the opponent has not been able to limit the opponent's score per 100 rounds to less than 100 points, and even in the year of retirement, he has been unable to maintain an average of 10 points per game, and he has suppressed the opponent's score per 100 rounds in the time he plays, and that has been done when he has entered the era of small ball.

After lunch, Sun Ce played billiards for a while, and when he played billiards, he thought that it would be good if his personal defense could be improved.

Without the interior defensive combination of Gasol Jr., Larry Sanders and Randolph, Sun Ce deeply felt his defensive shortcomings! It's not a bad thing to rely on your teammates, but it's really powerless when the team has problems!
