Sun Ce didn't know what the reason was, but the opposing head coach Honacek suddenly became extremely targeted at him, using the inside and outside combination of Jordan Jr. and Antetokounmpo to frantically pinch him.

The key is Hornacek's somewhat blind operation, which works quite well!

They were rested tonight, with Randolph and Larry Sanders and Tony Allen resting and the rest of the group in a break after a winning streak...... This break doesn't mean that they're in bad shape, it's just that they haven't experienced this kind of state for too long, and they are playing very uncomfortable and need time to get used to.

The most important thing is that they are in 5 days and 4 games, it is obvious that Klay Thompson and Paul George are not online, and Coach Hollins has also reduced their playing time, allowing Livingston, Blake, Carter, and Pierce to play more to avoid injuries due to fatigue in double 3D, although it was agreed with the two at the beginning of the season that they would not rotate in principle, but reduce their playing time under reasonable circumstances, which is no problem.

When the double 3-and-D played less, Aldridge was in average condition, playing 23 minutes and scoring 11 points on 3-of-9 shooting, Sun Ce took Livingston, Blake, Carter, Pierce, Stoudemire, Richard Jefferson, Yi Jianlian, and Gobert to play the Suns......

If Carter and Pierce are two years younger, Sun Ce thinks it's okay to play, but if these two are two years younger, how can they be players who can be signed by the mini middle class, Pierce also played well with the Celtics the year before last, with a salary of more than 16 million top small forwards, averaging 18+6+5......

The Suns are starting to rise this season, and a group of young players are looking to win when they see a chance, and Antetokounmpo and Jordan Jr. are doing a good job of blocking Sun Ce.

After playing 39 minutes, shooting 11 of 27, including 2 of 8 three-pointers, plus 7 of 8 free throws, Sun Ce scored 31 points, 11 boards, 7 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal, and the Grizzlies lost to the Suns 92-99, ushering in their second loss of the season.

……

After playing the game against the Suns, back in the locker room, Sun Ce sat and chatted with Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Yi Jianlian.

It's a little unwilling to lose, but today's state, the 3rd game in 5 days and 4 games, can't help it.

Sun Ce and others are more afraid of the Suns who have the inside and outside combination of Jordan Jr. and Antetokounmpo.

Jordan Jr.'s characteristics are similar to Howard, although he is not as strong as Howard, but it can be seen that even if he plays until he is in his early 30s, he can have the level of a first-class center.

The key is Antetokounmpo, who has already begun to show explosive talent in the second grade!

Chatting and chatting, Paul George said: "That little lord and third brother seemed like when you first entered the NBA. ”

This point of view is quite strange, although Antetokounmpo is called "Little Lord" by the media and fans, no one says that the two of them are alike.

If you have to say it, it's that they all have bigger guys than other players in their respective positions.

There are many more people who say that Sun Ce and Durant are similar than Sun Ce and Antetokounmpo, who is known as a point guard, but has actually played as a small forward since he entered the NBA.

Sun Ce glanced at Paul George: "It's like that, my skills are much better than him." ”

"I mean features! Peculiarity! ”

"The characteristics are not like that, I am a valued QQ member...... No, I'm a distinguished technical streamer, he's a rough physical streamer......"

When it comes to utilizing physical fitness, this time it's Paul George's turn to roll his eyes: when it comes to utilizing physical fitness, who better can take advantage of it than you? Durant and Antetokounmpo are so good at playing forward, you go to play point guard!

Yi Jianlian and Klay Thompson couldn't help but roll their eyes when they listened to the conversation between the two - once the third brother loses, he will become so unreasonable, and he can't communicate well.

Klay Thompson couldn't help but say, "Paul is talking about age, who is that, what is Compo?" He had just turned 20 when he was on the 6th, and he was making so much progress. ”

Hearing this, Sun Ce complained to Paul George: "If you don't talk well, just say no, you have to say that guy is like me." ”

Paul George is so desperate, sure enough, as long as he loses, the third brother can't communicate normally!

Sun Ce continued: "That guy is indeed very talented, otherwise why would Bill sign him from Europe, and the current rules are more and more suitable for him, he suddenly goes to the inside and no one dares to touch him, unless it is a big center like Mark, Hassan, Rudy who stands under the basket and does not jump, can give him restrictions, but we didn't stop him on the outside tonight, and Rudy couldn't ...... him directly."

"Yes, that's my problem......"

Paul George subconsciously admitted his mistake, but suddenly remembered that he didn't play much tonight, only played 11 minutes, Antetokounmpo got 18 points, 10 boards, 6 assists, 2 blocks and 2 steals.

Indeed, if he is there, he can have a wave with Antetokounmpo, and his tonnage this year is a little bigger than Sun Ce, Sun Ce did not gain weight last summer, and his Paul George's weight has risen from 95 kg in his rookie year to 106 kg, basically reaching the limit of what he can accept, and it is also slightly more than Sun Ce's tonnage.

The main thing is that he just does this, or Klay Thompson can go to the top, Carter can't stop it, Pierce can't defend it because the speed is not enough, and Sun Ce goes to defend it...... Sun Ce attacked enough tonight.

There is also the fact that Sun Ce didn't use physical potions tonight, because he will play the Thunder team tomorrow, and if Sun Ce plays the full 48 minutes, it is still possible to beat the Suns.

The most important thing is that the opponent's desire to win is so strong that he can't understand it from the beginning of the head coach, even if the Suns' group of young players are motivated, but the opposing head coach Honacek is actively adjusting from beginning to end.

……

If you have to say that it is a good thing to go back to home, it is that after the first loss, there is no time to lament why you lost, you go back to the hotel and go to bed, and the next morning, you have to go to the next city.

At 10 o'clock in the morning on December 20th, Sun Ce followed the team to Oklahoma City, checked in at the hotel, and put away his luggage.

I don't know how long it took to win during the winning streak, Sun Ce felt like he was winning all the time, and he had just gotten rid of the feeling that he was going to heaven, and he didn't play a few games after the streak ended, and he just played a wave of 2 wins and 2 losses, and his record became 29 wins and 2 losses, and suddenly it was the last game before the Christmas war!

It just came very suddenly, Sun Ce felt that time passed too quickly, and the new season had started for more than two months!

After tonight's game against the Thunder, they didn't play against the Grizzlies from No. 21 to No. 24.

The games of the other teams will also be temporarily ended tomorrow at the latest, and the teams that will play the Christmas game will basically rest from the 21st to the 24th, and the teams that will not play the Christmas game will basically rest from the 22nd to the 25th.

The last game of the 4 games in 5 days played the Thunder team, which was simply amazing, and Sun Ce felt that his head was big when he came to Oklahoma City.

However, there is good news, that is, the opponent is also in a difficult schedule, because the Thunder are also going to play the Christmas game, the Grizzlies side will play as many as 12 games in the first 20 days of December, the Thunder side will also play 12 games, the Thunder team has also played two games in the past three days, and tonight's game is also back-to-back, the final game of 4 days and 3 games.

It depends on which side can control the physical exertion more reasonably under such a schedule and can better maintain the state.

In the former, it was their Grizzlies who had the advantage, and for tonight's game, Coach Hollins didn't give Klay Thompson and Paul George too many opportunities to find their form yesterday, Aldridge only played 23 minutes, and Randolph and Larry Sanders were also rested.

But the latter, the Thunder seems to be better, and the Grizzlies started almost ahead of the league in state, and later entered the heyday of the early season with a direct wave of 27 consecutive wins, and then entered the labor pains, the Thunder team is a regular step-by-step run-in, find the state, improve the chemistry, step by step to the present.

After also playing 31 games, the Thunder's record improved to 20-11, increasing the winning percentage to more than 60 percent.

The strength of Durant and Westbrook, who began to enter the prime of their careers, is indeed strong, Westbrook guarantees the lower limit of the team, Durant raises the ceiling, except that the role players are inferior to the Lakers, and there is no outstanding three-leader like Leonard.

……

At 6:40 p.m., the two teams had warmed up and entered the stadium at Ford Center.

Coach Hollins looked at his own players who entered the stadium first and felt that it was time to breathe a sigh of relief.

There is no main rotation tonight, except for Richard Jefferson, who is resting for a week due to a calf muscle strain, the other main players are likely to play tonight, except for Blake who did not enter the activation list, even Stoudemire is ready to replace Richard Jefferson on the court and partner with Yi Jianlian.

The first 3 games of 4 games in 5 days are 2-1, which is a good record, but after winning 27 games in a row, he has a 2-2 record, even if he knows that he should treat all this rationally as a head coach, Coach Hollins still hates this feeling.

Fortunately, after this game, there were 4 days of rest, and although the group of players from their own team were going to the concert without doing their job, it did not prevent them from resting.

Instead, it's an opportunity to empty your brain and get back to the feeling of the game.

Coach Hollins clearly felt that his players were not really in bad shape, they were in normal form, just back to the normal state that they had since the first 14 games of the season, that is, normal state.

Coach Hollins has analyzed from his own team's video that the players of his own team have been in surprisingly good condition since the 15th game.

Coach Hollins doesn't want to lose a game, he's already 29-2, and of course he wants to do something!

Of course, he was still very sensible and knew that tonight's opponent was more important than last night's opponent, so when yesterday's double 3D and Aldridge were not in good shape due to fatigue, he chose to reduce the playing time of the three, just for tonight's game.

The regular season record is very important, but in the playoffs, there is a possibility that the Thunder will be a championship team, so he put the focus of this 5-day 4-game game on the last game!

On the 17th and yesterday's game, Randolph and Larry Sanders didn't play, just for tonight's game!

At 7 p.m., the Grizzlies and Thunder met for the second time of the regular season this season.

Westbrook and Durant both want to win, they really want to have a record advantage against the Grizzlies in the regular season, since Sun Ce entered the NBA, they have almost played against other teams in the past 5 years, they have a single-season regular season win advantage, only the Grizzlies, they lose more and win less, and never create a head-to-head advantage in the regular season.

However, the ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, and the Thunder are in worse shape than the Grizzlies tonight!

The Grizzlies, who are just not adapting to their normal state, and the Thunder are not even in normal shape, and Durant, who has a strong belief, only scored 13 points on 5-of-19 shooting tonight, a season low.

Westbrook is also good enough, Durant is not good, he played 48 minutes and got 35 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists on 14-of-35 shooting, but he shot too much, and some of the balls that should have been passed out to teammates to create opportunities for the whole team were gone, although he had 35 points and 10 assists, but the Thunder team only scored 91 points.

But Westbrook had to shoot more, and Durant's side was not as good as him tonight, causing the Grizzlies to block role players, and Westbrook really had to keep holding the ball and making his own decisions this time.

On the Grizzlies' side, Sun Ce performed normally tonight, shooting 12 of 23, including 3 of 6 three-pointers, plus 6 of 6 free throws, getting 33 points, 13 boards, 7 assists, 4 blocks and 1 steal, although there were 6 turnovers, the opponent's defense was okay, he was targeted a few times when he passed, but the flaws were not hidden, and the Grizzlies performed normally when he played regularly.

Combined with Paul George's 14 points and 6 assists, Klay Thompson's 19 points, and Aldridge's 12 points, the well-formed Grizzlies easily defeated the in-form Thunder 105-91 to improve their record to 30-2 before the Christmas game!

When the final whistle blew, Sun Ce was a little regretful, he didn't like the opponent's bad state, especially the Thunder, an opponent he regarded as a strong enemy.

However, looking at the 30-2 record, thinking that he can have a good rest in the next 4 days, Sun Ce feels that it is okay, occasionally the opponent is not in good shape, and it is not bad for them to win easily, it is not always that they are in bad shape, and the opponent is out of the table, and he saves the world alone.

And...... Also saved an stamina potion that could be used in the Christmas battle between the 25th and the Spurs!
