Because of the collapse of defense last season, when they faced the Spurs in the playoffs, their Grizzlies faced the Spurs, unless they had an explosive hand, they were suppressed on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and finally went out in a hurry.

Although the Spurs were also defeated by the Lakers, the Grizzlies still can't understand the full strength of the Spurs, nor can they understand how strong the Lakers were in the playoffs last season from the perspective of their own team, but can only understand from the Heat, Spurs, Thunder and other aspects.

This season easily defeated the Lakers once, which is nothing, first of all, the Lakers have a lot of veterans, and most of the players have been replaced, Kobe Bryant's performance is not as good as last season, Kobe Bryant averaged 33 minutes per game and scored 28 points last season, and this season has plummeted to 256 minutes of playing time, averaging more than 20 points per game.

God knows how terrifying Kobe Bryant, who averaged 27+ per game in the playoffs, James, who averaged 30+8+11 per game, and Leonard, who was almost the strongest on the outside last season, was in the playoffs last season.

And such a Lakers team almost lost against the Spurs, and it is elusive how strong the Spurs were in the playoffs last year.

As for the Lakers this season, it will certainly not be bad.

As for the Spurs, Duncan continued his performance at the third peak this season, perhaps the Spurs are not as strong as last year, Parker and Ginobili have declined significantly this season, and Gay's playing time and average points per game have improved a lot compared to last season, playing 15 games and averaging 34 minutes per game, with 23 points, 6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.6 steals.

The increase in stats means that Guy needs to bear more responsibility and pressure, which is evidence of the decline of the Spurs' other core players.

However, when it comes to the playoffs, Sun Ce believes that the Spurs will still be one of the strongest teams.

The point is that the Grizzlies obviously didn't push the Spurs to a dead end in the playoffs last season, and they didn't really understand the strength of the Spurs, so they have to re-understand the Spurs this season.

Therefore, taking advantage of the regular season meeting, knowing that the Spurs, whose core lineup has not changed and the absolute core Duncan has maintained its peak performance, is something they must do and important in the regular season.

……

After a day of preparation, on November 29, Sun Ce followed his teammates to San Antonio, where there was no training scheduled today, and the focus was on resting.

Sun Ce's daily video connection on his rest day was to discuss the decline in the status of their grandfather's family, regardless of whether Xiao Gohan understood it or not, anyway, Sun Ce asked Zu Ge to put Xiao Gohan in front of the projection screen, until Xiao Gohan was taken away by his mother when he said that he was dozing off......

After lunch, Sun Ce was going to take a nap, get up at three or four o'clock to practice high-level back play, and learn from Pierce if he has the opportunity.

Last year, I tried to find Livingston, but Sun Ce got Livingston's back play at the beginning, he used it well at first, but it was not suitable for using it, and he learned from me, and only learned some skills to grasp the timing of the back play, and finally gave up and chose to continue to practice the Kobe Bryant's version of the high and low back play.

But at this time, a group of uninvited guests came......

At 12:58 p.m. on November 29, 2014, Sun Ce sat in the hotel café with a godfather who led the fashion taste of NBA players and fans.

In recent years, the fashion taste of basketball fans in China and the United States has become very strange in the minds of non-basketball fans, and the hairstyle taste of basketball fans has once again begun to deviate from the mainstream, and then another group has revived, and then the clothing style and makeup style of basketball fans have also deviated from the mainstream.

In China, the fashion industry outside the mainstream has collectively become a fan of the godfather of fashion in the NBA.

In recent years, it has been called the Renaissance by the fashion industry outside the mainstream.

However, after sitting for a long time, Sun Ce didn't see the other party talking, and looked at Randolph next to him suspiciously, this group of people didn't go out to pick up their sisters in the afternoon and didn't sleep lazy, what did they come to him for? I also brought the godfather of fashion.

In addition, Parker, Ginobili, Guy, Danny Green, Bonner, Dior are also here, and their Grizzlies players are basically here!

Randolph understood that Sun Ce didn't know what the situation was now, and responded: "Noah, you forgot?" I didn't tell you on the plane, but this afternoon we're going to be talking about the Christmas concert with the San Antonio Fashion Metal Band! ”

“…… I remembered......"

Sun Ce seemed to have woken him up on the plane and said this, but he was sleeping in a daze, because he was going to take a plane this morning, and no training was arranged, last night he and Zu Goose climbed out of the silver pit with difficulty, and played LOL until half past three in the morning.

There are a total of 5 Christmas games this year, with the Thunder playing the Lakers away, the Warriors playing the Pelicans away, the Heat playing the Bulls away, the Knicks playing the 76ers away, and the Spurs playing the Grizzlies away.

The annual NBA star group Memphis Christmas concert is less than a month away, James, Kobe, Wade, Bosh, Duncan, Gay, Gasol Jr. These people must be invited, the schedule in December this year, free up a game, about two days, the league deliberately put the rest time vacated by each team before Christmas and Christmas Eve, in the past, there were always players who complained about playing the Christmas war, and there was no time to spend with their families before Christmas Eve and Christmas Eve, this time the league was a little more humane, All teams have not played since the 22nd, that is, the 22nd to the 24th is the suspension stage, which is called the "Christmas holiday" by the media.

Their Grizzlies have not played since the 21st, but they had a desperate 5-day 4-game before the 21st, which is also the only 5-day 4-game game for their Grizzlies this season.

But the Spurs' posture is to stuff half of their team in!

What is the band called? Fashion metal bands?

Sun Ce asked, "What do you want to discuss?" ”

"New song! Two new songs, an orchestra song, and a solo for you, Fashion Metal Bands have their own songs......"

Watching Randolph spitting and talking about writing songs, it seemed that he wanted to fight for something, probably because the songs written by the Spurs were better than those written by him, and he didn't want to admit defeat.

Sun Ce opened the prop space and looked at it, there were 3 B-level lottery cards that were useless, and they had been kept all the time, and after looking at the event "Artist's Rhapsody" that could be actively triggered by the lottery card, he could only nod sadly and angrily.

After Sun Ce agreed, a group of people began to discuss enthusiastically.

Watching Aldridge seem a little shy but not refusing to come to participate in the "team activity", watching Carter proudly say that he got a saxophone music scholarship in addition to a basketball scholarship when he was in college, Pierce bragged that he won a $5,000 dollar prize in a rap competition in a Boston bar, and Yimu Hualian still looked cold and was actually not good at words......

Sun Ce was really sad and angry: "My old grandson plays basketball, not singing, why is playing basketball like a side job?" ”

……

After the discussion in the afternoon, Sun Ce learned that in addition to the Spurs stuffing four people in, in Los Angeles, Leonard was also pulled in by Kobe and James, it is said that Kobe Bryant wants to play the piano, James wants to play the violin, and the retired Maddie talks about the folk guitar to accompany Leonard, Leonard is the lead singer; Bosh from Dallas also called Nowitzki.

And their Grizzlies, except for Blake's youngest son who is going back to Miami during the Christmas break to accompany his youngest son who has stayed in Miami's hometown in a good climate since he was a child, Livingston and Stoudemire discussed with the team that they would go to Miami to review their legs during the Christmas vacation, and the other 12 players on the team participated.

The team's artist, Larry Sanders, is still preparing to release a single in the middle of next month, or is it going to find his grandson's distribution company to pay for the record himself...... Sun Ce didn't know that the music studio opened by John had become a record distribution company.

And Larry Sanders' single is called "Black Mercedes", which is only released online, and it is said that it is a single that Larry Sanders took time to get for half a year, and all of them were done by himself.

Sun Ce said that Larry Sanders has not improved at all on the offensive end this summer, and it seems that in addition to training, he has gained 10 pounds, which is almost 4 kilograms, and the rest of the time is spent on writing songs.

Sun Ce thought that there might be more than 20 people at this Christmas concert, all of whom were well-known figures in the NBA, and also gathered Kobe, Duncan, Nowitzki, Carter, and Pierce, the five old superstars who entered the NBA in the 90s and still have a place in the NBA or even an All-Star level, and the retired Maddie also came to join in the fun......

"This group of people is simply not doing their job! I know all day long that I have to do these things......"

After a wave of slander, Sun Ce looked at it and saw that it was already 4 o'clock, and directly found the old Hardaway who was round into a ball to go to the hotel's indoor basketball court to practice low-post back play.

This season, Sun Ce's low-post back play efficiency has improved a lot, although he didn't learn anything new from Jordan and Payton in the summer, but the opponent's details of some low-post aspects are really good, Sun Ce got some experience, tried some details in the game, and found that there are not things that can be learned by looking at them, and some failed attempts, Sun Ce needs to be improved in training.

At the end of the 90-minute training, the old Hardaway felt that he had lost seven or eight taels of flesh, and he was so distressed that he couldn't do it.

After practicing the Nash training method in the evening, when Sun Ce returned to the room to take a bath, he turned on the system, looked at the active trigger event of "Artist's Rhapsody", gritted his teeth, and his mind moved, and the system prompt came.

"The host can choose to invest in the highest B-level lottery card, open the specified type of event in the art section, and complete the specified event to get a random lottery card of the specified type.

Advanced Rewards: If the designated art type random lottery card is recognized by the audience during the performance, the random lottery card will be returned according to the degree of recognition, and the highest level of the lucky draw card will be A. ”

Sun Ce has done this event twice, once when he was selected for the Grammys and returned an A-level lottery card, and once when the All-Star Weekend performance was widely acclaimed, the NBA officials decided to work with their Grizzlies and the Tennessee State Assembly to help them hold a Christmas concert and return an A-level lottery card.

B-level lottery cards, the best is some low-level equipment and some players' shooting action packages, as well as B-level star experience cards, star experience cards are okay, occasionally you can draw star experience cards of high-quality role players who are inspired by Sun Ce's playing style, but the probability of drawing star experience cards is very low, and other ordinary equipment is useless to him, like Radmanovic's skis, which is even more cheating, and the shooting action package is even more unnecessary, his shooting action has been finalized.

The A-level lottery card is different, with skill upgrade cards, powerful equipment, and the highest A+ level stars...... It's all good stuff!

But none of the events were good......

Moreover, no matter how popular the card for someone else's performance is, no matter how strong the resonance is, there will be no reward, such as the time when he helped Randolph enter the All-Star starter.

However, that time, it is likely to be the last time Randolph will be an All-Star in his career, and he can help Randolph, who is already lazy in the regular season, to get an All-Star one more time, Sun Ce is also happy, and there is nothing without a reward.

What are these rewards for? Isn't it just about playing well and creating more honors? Helping teammates win honors is also something to be proud of.

In this regard, Sun Ce has always been quite open-minded.

Just as Sun Ce was thinking about it, a different system prompt came from when he took the initiative to trigger this event before.

"The host has led the team to win 19 consecutive victories in the opening game, and the host has 3 B-rank draw cards, and the artist's rhapsody optional event is triggered.

Goal 1: Invest 1 B-level raffle card and win the opening 20 consecutive wins.

Reward: 1 random draw card for the specified art type.

Goal 2: Invest 2 B-level raffle cards and win the opening 23 consecutive wins.

Rewards: 2 random lottery cards for the specified art type, and special rewards: 1 random special card.

Goal 3: Invest 3 B-level raffle cards and win the opening 25 consecutive wins.

Rewards: 3 random draw cards for designated art types, and special rewards: 1 blessing from a legendary superstar in a random position of a special card.

Note: If you choose to carry out this event, you will invest 3 B-level lottery cards at one time, and the rewards will be calculated according to the completion progress, and the B-level lottery cards will not be returned if the goals are not completed.

Failure Penalty: If all objectives are not completed, after the reward is calculated according to the progress of completion, how many consecutive wins are different from 25 consecutive wins, and the host will deduct the number of lottery cards, special cards, and star experience cards that the host already has, and deduct them in order. ”

This...... Sun Ce looked at the reward of Goal 3 and was so moved that he couldn't do it!

But this failure punishment, Sun Ce looked at the prop space, there are only 3 lottery cards, the A-level lottery cards have long been used up, there is 1 random special card, star experience card, only two scoring star experience cards and big dream cards since the new century!

It's so dark!

However, a blessing from a legendary superstar is equal to 4 All-Star experience cards that have changed positions, and now there is no chance to go to the Tungui Turtle Card, where he has played 8 triple-doubles in 20 games this season, and he has only played 2 times.

"To do it or not to do it? Let's go! ”
