1517. The Hardest Road to MVP (Part 4)
The game against the Warriors is about to begin!
At 7:40 p.m., after the warm-up, Sun Ce and his teammates entered the court together.
"Elementary school brother A+...... S+ level three points,!
Xiao Dengdeng, who didn't go to Jingdezhen, S-class...... Awesome!
Iguodala A-Class ......
David Lee A-......
Thabit B+ ......"
Sun Ce looked at the starting lineup on the opposite side, before the two bears did not find their form, the Warriors' starting performance was better than their Grizzlies starters.
But it's just a personal performance.
The Warriors are currently 4-3 and their Grizzlies are 4-2, and they are half a win ahead of the Warriors.
Team performance, also their Grizzlies are slightly better than the Warriors.
Their Grizzlies are just two key players who are not in good shape, and they know how to play as a whole, and the direction is clear, unlike the other side, they may not know what changes will occur in their tactics in the next game.
That's why Mark Jackson has been at odds with his own players since the start of the season.
The preparations for the training camp and preseason were all done in vain, and there was no persistence at all.
In addition to the strong five starters, the Warriors' bench lineup, Sun Ce also felt very strong, Jarrett Jack failed to kill Harden and Curry, the two hard-hitting guys, and went to the Cavaliers Klint Thorought, and the Warriors lost a bench player who averaged 14 points and 5 assists per game.
But Harris Barnes has improved, with a B+ rating; There are also five substitutes for O'Neal Jr., Speights, Jordan Crawford, and Draymond Green, with 10 people in rotation and enough squad depth.
It's because there are people under him that he can give Mark Jackson Hawk.
Harden, although the current Warriors have a bad record, he has become an MVP favorite with an average of 26+6+5 per game.
But in Sun Ce's view, Curry and Harden are a unit!
If both performances are good, the Warriors will have a good record.
The S-level event of "The Authority of the Little Overlord" is different from previous S-class events, there is no clear phased event, and there is no clear goal.
Therefore, Sun Ce had to set some goals for himself.
And Curry + Harden's three-point shooting is the goal that Sun Ce wants to catch up!
After greeting the players of the two teams before the game, Sun Ce returned to the bench and said to Klay Thompson: "Klay, are you ready to play the title of the strongest three-point combination with me again?" ”
The question came so suddenly, Klay Thompson didn't react at once.
When he came back to his senses, Klay Thompson felt excited, although Sun Ce did everything suddenly, but Klay Thompson knew that whatever this guy said, he really wanted to do it!
Klay Thompson replied directly, "I can." ”
Without too many words, the matter was settled.
Competing with a star, you don't need to fight with the other party in all aspects, this Sun Ce knows very well, people see Curry and Harden as a whole, so just find a point to deal with.
Originally, because Sun Ce's upcoming opponent was the Warriors, he only wanted to fight with Klay Thompson and Kuha duo for three points this season.
But now there is another goal falling from the sky......
"I've got you covered (in a small book): exclusive to Kevin Durant.
The goal: to complete a scoring streak before Kevin Durant wins the next scoring title.
Event Reward: Kevin Durant Star Experience Card (based on the current season at the time of use)
Failure Penalty: Deduct one Scoring Champion Experience Card that you have now or will have in the future. ”
Just this afternoon, Westbrook responded to Sun Ce's statement that he can score better than Durant, Westbrook really treats Durant as a big brother, saying that when Durant comes back, he will reduce his shots and devote himself to organizing the offense.
It can be understood that Westbrook is going to devote himself to hitting the average triple-double per game.
But what Sun Ce felt was that Westbrook had a lot of respect for Durant and was willing to give up the right to make a move to Durant.
Sun Ce remembered that it was the same in the original time and space, Durant only played about 20 games a year, and that year Westbrook won the scoring title after recovering from a knee injury, but the next year Durant returned from injury, Westbrook immediately returned the right to shoot.
Durant also responded, saying that it is easy for him to win the scoring title, but he doesn't want to fight for the past two years, and he can still win the scoring title after his comeback.
So, Sun Ce's side triggered this incident.
Now that the media has begun to hype up this matter, Durant's words are obviously aimed at Sun Ce, because Sun Ce is now ranked first in the scoring list.
……
……
The extra pressure is put aside for a while, and one by one you can clear your mind and fight for it.
Fighting for MVP is not a simple thing, the championship is still a team of more than a dozen people a year, and you can't get it and hug your thighs, but MVP, one person a year!
Adjusted his mood, and at 7:58, Sun Ce started with Klay Thompson, Paul George, Randolph, and Larry Sanders.
On the Warriors' side, Curry, Harden, Iguodala, David Lee, and Thabit started the lineup.
Looking at the opposing lineup, both teams are under a lot of pressure.
The starting lineup on the opposite side is so strong!
On the Warriors' side, Iguodala and David Lee were both the strongest players on a team; Curry, Harden, supernova, or at least an All-Star guard, all have an average of 25+ points per game; Although Tabit has the reputation of being a negative champion, his physical talent and defensive talent are there, and with the patience of the Warriors, he can be regarded as a weakened version of his shooting ability and passing.
On the Grizzlies' side, Sun Ce and Klay Thompson, the strongest three-pointers last season; Paul George, next summer, there will be a lot of teams lined up to compete for it, and he can be the core of the team; Randolph, a veteran top power forward, is notoriously lazy, but will get more and more fierce in the middle and late stages of the season; Larry Saunders, a completely different character from Tabit but also a top-notch defensive center.
Curry feels that he has a certain advantage on his side, and they know the Grizzlies' style of play very well, and the Grizzlies have been in place for a few years, just like the defending champions before them, and the only thing they can play is routines and accurate timing.
But the opponent didn't understand their style of play, and in fact he didn't know what the outcome of today's tactical adjustment would be on his side......
This year, they really won purely by ability, the offensive end was a mess, the first game he shot 10 three-pointers to score 45 points, the second game after the coaching staff "adjusted", he scored 6 points on 2-of-13 shooting, it was simply amazing.
But it's so weird, they still have a 4-3 record and win 4 games!
