On Dec. 12, after a day of rest, the Grizzlies began preparing for the game against the Thunder.

Sun Ce completed the trigger condition of insisting at 4 o'clock in the morning, rested for a while, finished breakfast, and arrived at the stadium at 7:40 in the morning.

When he arrived at the stadium, Sun Ce found that he was not the first today!

In the last two years, there has only been one player who has occasionally come in for training earlier than him – Jimmy Butler.

Sun Ce changed into his jersey and entered the training pitch to see Paul George in the passing area, smashing the ball to the floor and bouncing off the wall in a designated spot.

This is what Sun Ce has practiced hard, this is already the second stage, the first stage is to smash the designated position with a direct pass, and after passing out, it must be moved to the position of the bounce back in advance.

After saying hello, after Sun Ce finished warming up, he continued to practice shooting on the left side of the three-second zone, layup skills under the basket, and cross-step change of direction on the outside line...... Wait for your teammates to come, and then have a tactical meeting.

On Paul George's side, after a set of passing drills, he watched Sun Ce practice for a while.

Sun Ce's technique is becoming more and more comprehensive, and Paul George can accept it, but seeing Sun Ce shoot 50 three-pointers at a 45-degree angle on the right side, then go to the left side of the three-second zone and throw 100 left-hand shots......

According to the analysis of experts, Sun Ce is a unique "two-sided dexterous" genius, which is commonly known as a double-handed.

In fact, Sun Ce is not the only one in the NBA, their old teammate Mike Conley is a famous two-hander, who used his left hand for dissection practice and his right hand to write in college, and the two are interchangeable.

But playing basketball, Mike Conley didn't run to get any pair of hands.

No matter how you think about it, I chose one hand and practiced for so long, even if I didn't develop the area I was good at, I already had the muscle memory to shoot, and redeveloping the other hand, even if it was a dominant hand, was also a choice to go near and far.

But Sun Ce is a maverick and has to develop his left hand, and his teammates, coaches, and trainers have persuaded him, but he has to listen to it...... And it's really practiced.

Paul George feels like he's a genius already, his draft template is Guy, who averaged 20+ points per game in his sophomore year, and Guy's draft template is Maddie...... About the same as him, Paul George's draft template is also Maddie.

This is definitely the biggest compliment to talent, Paul George basically used himself as a pitcher in college, and wanted to play in a disciplined way, but he was an interior player in high school...... He was about the same height as he is now after graduating from high school, and he basically didn't grow up after that.

During college, I practiced dribbling well, and it was not easy to develop three points.

Entering the NBA, Paul George has practiced his breakthroughs, passed well, and his mid-to-long-range shooting has become more and more excellent...... It's already surprising that I thought the Grizzlies had chosen a defensive three-point forward, but it turned out to be an all-around swing guard.

However, Paul George feels like he is compared to Sun Ce...... That's what people call geniuses!

Paul George would love to study Sun Ce well, but he felt it was too troublesome, so he should practice his passing.

There are Randolph, Gasol Jr., Yi Jianlian, and Stoudemire is also coming back soon, and it is said that he has been approved by the team doctor to play.

There are Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Livingston on the outside, and Hardaway Jr.'s instant combat power is also good, Paul George feels that he doesn't need to deliberately increase the number of shots, there is no need!

How fragrant is an average of 5+ assists per game! Although he had to help Sun Ce get a triple-double in the past few games, and his average assists per game dropped to 4.5, Paul George didn't care, and it would always come back.

As for the communication with Sun Ce in the summer, Sun Ce promised to give him the right to make a move, and Paul George was determined to play well in the next year because of this, but he did not accept it.

What Paul George admires most about Sun Ce is not his strength, not his honor, but what Sun Ce will do if the team needs him, and he wants to be such a player.

The point is that Paul George feels like he can be a player like that.

……

By 9 a.m., the team-mates had arrived and the coaching staff had a tactical meeting to discuss tomorrow's game.

At the outset, the coaching staff announced the bad news that Larry Sanders would need to rest for about a week due to an elbow injury.

But there's also good news, there's one more person for today's tactical meeting – Stoudemire!

Prince's side, as a veteran, suffered a groin strain, recovery is relatively slow, the team is not in a hurry to let him come back, such an experienced veteran, the late regular season sprint record, the playoffs key defense, more necessary, just like Battier in the past three years.

Sun Ce lamented the calamities of his own team, Stoudemire was just about to come back, but Larry Sanders was injured!

After the tactical meeting, Sun Ce found Larry Saunders.

Sun Ce didn't hear that Larry Sanders was injured, and in the last game against the Bulls, Larry Sanders played 20 minutes and was not injured in the process.

It's also unlikely that he was injured yesterday, and this guy said after the game the night before that he was going to work at home...... Can painting hurt yourself? Even if it hurts, it should be an ear injury.

After repeated questioning, Larry Sanders said, "I fell while playing the Clippers and hit the floor with my right hand......"

Playing the Clippers? That was almost a week ago!

Sun Ce vaguely had the impression that in the next few games, Larry Sanders seemed to use his left hand to dunk while eating cakes!

I didn't pay attention at the time!

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"At that time, the team was short of people, and the trainer found out that I had a problem with my elbow the night before when I was applying ice......"

Sun Ce was speechless, Larry Sanders ...... This artist who fell in love with poetry and ruined his NBA career in the original time and space is indeed too sincere!

Looks like this guy is a bit of a tendon.

Sun Ce patted Larry Sanders on the shoulder, told him to rest, and went to Coach Hollins to find out.

Thankfully, yesterday Larry Sanders had been brought in by the team for a detailed check-up, only an elbow injury, no structural injuries.

This put Sun Ce at ease.

At this point, there is nothing more to say.

Sun Ce can only thank Nash, who was willing to train with him, an ordinary college student who was not sure whether he could enter the NBA, and tried his best to train with all his strength, reaching a level that satisfied Nash, and finally obtained the magic skill of "Nash Training Method".

To say that Larry Sanders' injury is most affected, it is not his grandson, but Randolph.

The fat version of Randolph, the teammate who works best with him is Larry Sanders, who has offense and defense.

Coupled with the comeback of Stoudemier, Sun Ce knew in the tactical meeting that he was going to enter the adjustment stage next!
