1546.The Gifted Brother Alphabet (Part 2)

After the Nets were beaten 32-25 by the Grizzlies in the first quarter, they didn't play too hard in the back.

A desperate regular season game is not a good deal for the Nets.

With a win rate of more than 50 percent in the East to secure a playoff break, and a 456-win chance to be in the fifth or sixth place, Rivers doesn't want to fight.

Garnett still has the stamina to play for 30 minutes, but Rivers just doesn't need to, and keeps playing.

The main thing is age, their lineup, even if they are 1 year younger, the situation is completely different! But the years are so cruel, Yao Ming, Grant Hill, and Nash were all in the league last year, and now the three are already being discussed about when they will be in the Hall of Fame.

But with Rivers' chicken soup and the players not restless, a group of current and former All-Stars and All-Sixth Man of the Nets are ...... are patient and take a long-term view.

118-105, the Grizzlies defeated the Nets without blood.

Sun Ce played 35 minutes and got 21 points, 12 boards, 16 assists, 3 blocks and 1 steal.

Paul George scored 27 points on 10-of-17 shooting, and Klay Thompson scored 28 points on 9-of-15 shooting, including 6-of-10 three-pointers, and they scored more than 70 points from the outside line, and on top of Sun Ce's "only" 21 points.

It's really easy to win!

Of Sun Ce's 16 assists, 10 were received by Klay Thompson and Paul George.

Sun Ce scored a triple-double in 8 consecutive games, and after the game between the Grizzlies and the Nets, the pressure was all on Westbrook's side!

……

At 7 p.m. Eastern time, when the Grizzlies and Nets game just entered the fourth quarter, the Thunder hosted the Timberwolves.

Westbrook fought hard from the start, passing and grabbing rebounds like crazy.

However, this season may be the strongest Lefu has played in the Timberwolves in the past six years.

Due to Lefou's early reimbursement last season, the Timberwolves brought out Montenegrin center Nikola Pekovic.

So far this season, Love has averaged 27 points, 13 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game, which is a proper best team level.

But Pekovic played better than last season, averaging 18 points and nine rebounds per game.

Although the defense is not good, these two are heavyweight players, and Lefu has not lost weight, weighing 122 kilograms; Pekovic is even more exaggerated, with a height of 211 cm and a weight of 134 kg.

Although the movement of these two is not bad, it is certainly not very good, both of them have to play for more than 30 minutes, and they play together and defend badly.

But the offense is strong! It is the only group of interior combinations in the league this season that has averaged more than 40 points per game.

And the rebounding ball is sharp, the two average 22 boards per game combined, of which 6.5 are offensive rebounds!

This duo allows Corey Brewer, Kevin Martin, Barria and others to shoot wildly from the outside under Rubio's command.

At present, the Timberwolves are 9-9, playing the best start since Garnett left the Timberwolves.

Rao is Ibaka, Adams, Perkins, and Nick Collison to help Westbrook get the card position, and the interior combination of the Timberwolves has played 40 minutes tonight, which is still enough.

This made Westbrook not stay on the outside, and directly received the mid-range, ready to grab the rebound at any time.

To say that Westbrook is amazing, in such a situation, at 47 minutes and 18 seconds, he grabbed the 10th rebound of the game, improved the data to 14 points, 10 boards and 11 assists, and got the 12th triple-double of the season, and like Sun Ce, he increased the number of consecutive triple-doubles to 8 times!

However, by the time Westbrook grabbed his 10th rebound, the Thunder were already trailing by eight points, 95-103.

In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Thunder 106-98, bringing the Thunder's record to 10-9, and the Timberwolves' own record was also 10-9.

"The Suns have groomed Brother Batum? It seems like a good fit at this stage......"

"Brother Alphabet?"

"It's Giannis, his name is too hard to spell, such a long list."

"This nickname is good, if it spreads, it will definitely be popular, but Noah, your vision is so good, this guy is more like you than the one in Houston, he has grown 5 centimeters in the past six months, and he is taller than you."

“……”

"But his style of play is a lot worse than yours, he's too sticky and he's not improving as fast as you, he's going to need a lot of ball handling to develop, he's a lot thinner than you, he's not as talented as you.

But he only turned 19 last month, and oh my God, how long has it been since I've seen a player who made it to the NBA at 18......"

When Nash compared Antetokounmpo with Sun Ce, the logic didn't make sense.

When it comes to Antetokounmpo's talent, Nash doesn't know how to describe it.

The talent who started playing for the European youth team in 2008 at the age of 14 and entered the NBA in the first round of the draft at the age of 18, Antetokounmpo was selected without causing any waves due to the 2013 draft.

But since the beginning of the game, 19 games have been played, and Antetokounmpo has averaged 7.57 points, 4.42 rebounds, 2.36 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.9 blocks per game, and his performance is quite good.

Originally, he was just a small forward size, but somehow, Antetokounmpo was already a little taller than his younger brother Marcus Morris in the Morris brothers, and about the same as his brother Markieff Morris.

The key is that growing taller did not affect Antetokounmpo's dribbling, speed, and flexibility, which made Nash seem to see Sun Ce back then, and it was a height-enhanced version.

On the afternoon of December 3, after back-to-back games last night and a morning rest this morning, Sun Ce and his teammates came to FedEx Arena in the afternoon to prepare for the game, and the Suns came to Memphis yesterday afternoon and are also preparing for the game today.

Sun Ce came to the away team's training ground to see Antetokounmpo.

Skinny, very skinny, weighing only 92 kg.

Because he is a player from the same company, Nash did not leave the agency after retiring, and he also has commercial value when he retires, so he returned to the Suns to help develop Antetokounmpo.

Under the strong recommendation of Bill Duffy, the Suns once again sold Dragic in exchange for a small forward-height point guard who did not make the Suns regret it and showed excellent talent.

It's just that talent is still just talent, and with the departure of a quasi-All-Star player like Dragic, the Suns plummeted from the league's top 20 with 11 picks last season to the league's bottom five, playing 19 games and ranking third from the bottom in the West with 5 wins and 14 losses.

To cultivate such a talent, although it is good, it takes a long time to cultivate and needs to be focused on training, and there is always a price to pay for comeback.
