Jennings + Drummond, one shooting efficiency is not high, the other rebounding is good, when the shooting efficiency on the outside gets some improvement, the inside cutting score opportunity becomes better...... Sun Ce found that these two partners were actually quite compatible!

The main thing is the change in Jennings' style of play, more use of pick-and-roll, more distribution, no longer thinking of himself as Iverson or Kobe, and recognizing himself.

With Billups in tow, the Pistons seem to have a clear future core.

As long as their management doesn't continue to show off, it's just that as far as Sun Ce knows, the management of the Pistons often shows off their heads.

The main thing is that the Pistons owner likes to delegate power very much, and leave everything to the general manager or the CEO to decide, and with a good manager to join, the Pistons can be very good, if not...... For several years, the Pistons' three championships in team history were all due to the excellent operation of their general manager at the time.

Also, this year, Drummond averaged 15.4 boards per game, Jordan Jr. averaged 15.1 boards per game, Sun Ce was fortunate to have won a rebounding king last year, judging from this situation, these two brothers will dominate the rebounding list in the next few years, and Lefu has averaged 13.8 boards per game so far this season, ranking only third.

He averaged 13.1 rebounds per game, and he couldn't make the top three.

……

After a 22-10 game against the Pistons, the Grizzlies continued their back-to-back road streak.

On the 5th, after a night of rest in Denver, at 7 p.m. on the 5th, after the warm-up, Sun Ce and his teammates entered the Pepsi Center court to challenge the Nuggets.

On the Nuggets' side, this year's record has also dropped significantly.

Sun Ce felt that Nuggets head coach Brian Shaw had some tragedy, he just took over the Nuggets, and the two big players were reimbursed together for the season, Gallinari, the Nuggets' top scorer, and McGee, the top physical inside, were reimbursed together.

However, the Nuggets still have a super roster of role players, Lawson, Wilson Chandler, Farid, J.J. Hickson, Nate Robinson, Mozgov, Fournier, Andre Miller, Randy Foye...... He was even traded to Brooks from Houston not long ago.

But Brian Shaw is not only unlucky, but also has the same coaching ability, his coaching strategy requires at least two superstars in the same position, and the Nuggets have everything, but there are no superstars.

And Sun Ce feels that Brian Shaw is the key to the Nuggets' decline, because the Nuggets' defense has collapsed this year!

106 points per game is okay, but the Nuggets are conceding 108 points per game, the third-highest points per game in the league!

The Nuggets shouldn't have conceded points per game like this, but they just played such a high point average per game.

Also, just after getting a 4-year 44 million contract, Lawson began to let himself go......

Sun Ce was speechless as he looked at the goal of "defeating Ty Lawson" with the word "Cancelled" written on it in the stage event of the new season's transformation into "Bully", and it was the first time he had encountered an event that had been canceled because of the self-indulgence of the target of the event.

Lawson looks okay, averaging 17 points and 9 assists per game, and his average assists per game are only a little lower than Sun Ce, but he has completely lost the determination to compete with all the talented point guards of his time, and now he has an annual salary of tens of millions and drinks every day.

Sun Ce didn't quite understand Lawson's behavior, but it seemed that Lawson had played himself to death because of alcoholism in the original time and space.

The game against the Nuggets is boom!

Sun Ce 37 points, Gasol Jr. 32 points, Klay Thompson 18 points, Paul George 16 points and 11 assists, Yi Jianlian 15 points, Livingston 12 points and 4 assists...... The Grizzlies beat the Nuggets 132-122.

was attacking all the way, Sun Ce played 33 minutes, got 37 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, and almost lost 40 points, and finally opened the difference at the last moment and laid the victory.

In a way, the Grizzlies players felt happy to win this game, and there was no one who didn't like to score points.

But it also made the Grizzlies' coaching staff feel anxious, and the biggest problem they encountered this season was once again shown, unable to hold down the opponent's scoring!

This is a situation that their Grizzlies have never faced in the past four years!

……

With a 23-10 record, the Grizzlies ended this wave of four consecutive road trips with a 3-1 record, which is pretty good overall.

In the past 10 games, the Grizzlies have gone 8-2 and rushed all the way to third in the West, and their current record is second only to the Spurs at 27-7 and the Lakers at 27-8.

But as soon as I returned to Memphis, I was greeted with earthquake-like news!

In the game against the Pistons, Randolph suffered a hamstring strain, and he didn't play in the second half, so he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, and went to Cleveland for a check-up after the game, and Randolph didn't play in the game against the Nuggets.

After a detailed diagnosis, it was determined that Randolph had torn the medial cruciate ligament in his right knee!

……

……

Randolph was injured and transferred from Cleveland's top sports medicine neurology hospital to Miami's hospital for further consultations on sports medicine injuries, and Bill Duffy's agent also came to Memphis to discuss Randolph's treatment with Grizzlies management.

Before he went to negotiate with the Grizzlies management, after flying from Miami to Memphis, Bill Duffy first came to Sun Ce's house to discuss with Sun Ce.

When he knew that Randolph had torn the medial cruciate ligament in his left knee, Sun Ce felt that it was fake news, but Coach Hollins personally called him to tell him about it, and then Bill Duffy also came, so the news was real.

"Bill, how's Zach's injury?"

"Luckily, there were no structural injuries to the bones and joints, mainly fatigue, when he fell with a hamstring strain, he strained the cruciate ligament in his right knee, if he chooses conservative treatment, he can recover in 8-12 weeks, but there will be follow-up injuries, if he chooses surgery, he will be out of action for at least 4-6 months."

"Nimabi ......"

Sun Ce watched the team get better day by day, although there were still many problems, such as poor defense ends, and the average of 104 points per game so far this season was higher than the average of 102.7 points per game so far this season.

But other aspects, such as health, teamwork on the offensive end, tacit understanding among teammates, chemistry of the various combinations...... It's all getting better in game after game.

Who would have thought that when Randolph pulled the rebound out, he snapped and fell, and got up to receive the ball that came back and hit the layup, but after a detailed diagnosis, he actually tore the cruciate ligament!

This can be said to be a disaster from heaven! When everything was getting better, they Grizzlies suddenly suffered a critical hit!

Sun Ce is a little overwhelmed now, he hasn't experienced the playoffs without Randolph, all the time, he has encountered problems, he can't play, he can give the ball to Randolph in the low post, now, there is no reliance!
