904. Can you change a line? (2nd Update: Commuter Pass)

On the night of the 16th, the Grizzlies defeated the Warriors 98-85.

On the Warriors' side, Curry was reimbursed, and the offense was greatly affected.

Although Curry's attendance rate this season is not high, the last time the Warriors were able to upset the Grizzlies, Curry contributed to 8 three-pointers in a single game, which is a player who averages 22 points per game, and any team with one less player who averages 20+ per game will be greatly affected.

For example, the Grizzlies, Randolph is not there, and the offensive strength has to plummet.

And Curry averaged 3.1 three-point shots per game in 19 games, the sixth player in NBA history to average at least three three-pointers per game, and one of only three players to average more than 2.5 three-point shots per game this season, the other two being Moreau of the Celtics and Steve Novak of the Knicks.

A player reimbursement like this is a huge blow to any team.

But tonight Sun Ce felt Leonard's defense, it's really good, although it can't be compared with Paul George, Paul George A-level defense, Leonard only B+ level, a little far behind, Paul George has the best defensive lineup strength no matter how much he improves, but Leonard has made a huge improvement from the last time he played each other, and when he played last month, Leonard only had B-level defense, and as the season deepened, Leonard gradually adapted to the rhythm of the NBA, and there was already a quasi-first-class level defense.

It's just that his defense at this point is useless, without Curry, Ellis and David Lee played badly on the offensive end, only Wright was completely inadequate, Leonard had empty defense, and the offense still needed to be developed.

……

Time flew by quickly, and on the 18th, the Grizzlies ushered in the last home game of the six-game home team, hosting the Nuggets.

This is also the first of the next 5 days and 4 games, which are also home-and-away back-to-back home games, from the 18th to the 22nd, the Grizzlies' last four games before the All-Star Weekend, home and away 5 days and 4 games.

In this game, the Grizzlies and the Nuggets played very excitingly, you go back and forth, there are anxious, some open the score, some chase points, and some overtake...... The two teams played to a 110-all draw in regular time!

Sun Ce failed to score a key goal and failed to trigger the effect of "Havlicek's hand".

Havlicek's hand needs to throw the ball in at the time of the draw, and then can predict who the opponent will serve, and can clearly "see" the opponent's service route.

But if you don't put it in, you can't do it.

Fortunately, Sun Ce, who played physical medicine in the second half, had good physical strength in overtime, and he defended with his teammates, and finally Sun Ce stole Lowry at a critical moment, counterattacked and gave Paul George a three-point shot to lead by two points, and relied on Sun Ce's single-defense block on Lawson to lock up the win.

Sun Ce played 49 minutes in this game, made 13 of 29 shots, got 35 points, 10 boards, 6 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals, Randolph played 41 minutes, got 28 points and 11 boards, Jordan Jr. and Yi Jian combined to cut 25 points and 13 boards, as well as Paul George, Klay Thompson, Neil, Battier combined for 12 three-pointers, plus Nash's 5 points and 14 assists.

In the end, relying on Sun Ce's broken block, Paul George's key three-pointer, the Grizzlies defeated the Nuggets 118-116.

The game was thrilling, and the atmosphere was so good that it exploded.

Originally, after the third quarter, when they fell behind by 11 points 76-87, they thought that they were going to be pulled apart, and Sun Ce also regretted that it was not Rose's star experience card but physical medicine, and they did not keep up with the Nuggets in the third quarter.

But at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Nash scored 4 assists in a row, he Sun scored 1 three-pointer, Paul George, Klay Thompson combined for 3 three-pointers, and the Grizzlies' lineup scored 12 points in a row, narrowing the gap to 4 points at once, and playing a wave of 12-5!

There was another chance, and in the end, it dragged on to overtime, and when the opponent was already running to the point of collapse, they won the game in overtime by relying on defense.

When the final whistle sounded, Rao was shot with a physical energy potion, and Sun Ce was about to collapse.

Played 49 minutes! It's either running or defending!

But it feels good to win, especially when I miss a stunner shot in regular time, and I rely on steals and blocks to get back on face in overtime.

Moreover, after beating the Nuggets, the Grizzlies improved their record to 25-6 with 8 wins and 2 losses in the first 10 games of this month!

With a 2.5-win lead over the second-place Spurs in the West, the Spurs are currently 23-9 and the Grizzlies are three games less.

However, when it came time for the post-game on-site interview, Sun Ce didn't want to pay attention to the current post-game interview, but he had to participate, and the other party was a reporter from the imperial court station and an old friend.

Before Director Zhang could ask a question, Sun Ce said: "Yes, yes, Director Zhang, I know that the Knicks have won again, they have won six in a row, so powerful......"

Director Zhang didn't feel embarrassed at all, no matter who he interviewed recently, the other party was like this, Sun Ce was okay.

And, he really wanted to ask questions about the Knicks winning again in the first place.

It's not just him, after four consecutive wins from the Knicks, the entire NBA is shrouded in one name - Lin Crazy.

When they played the Jazz on February 13, the Knicks, who had won 3 consecutive victories, became popular, and they exploded on the 15th.

But on Sun Ce's side, his schedule was so tight that he didn't pay attention, and he only learned that Lin Crazy was coming on the afternoon of the 16th, and then, after defeating the Warriors back-to-back on the night of the 16th, the first question Sun Ce was asked was not his fifth triple-double of the season with 18 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists, but about Jeremy Lin.

At that time, Sun Ce was okay and praised Jeremy Lin.

But yesterday, several TV stations sought exclusive interviews, and Sun Ce accepted the American cable TV station, . T, the exclusive interview of the imperial court, he felt that it was not a good thing before the interview, and suddenly wanted to interview, obviously he had already made an appointment with the major media to have an interview on February 23.

Sure enough, yesterday, Sun Ce was asked three similar questions by three Daxing TV stations, all of which were about Jeremy Lin.

Sun Ce finally knew why after Lin went crazy, those superstars on the outside were all aimed at Jeremy Lin, not only him, but many stars, especially outside stars, all got similar treatment, whether they won or lost, the reporter opened his mouth to be "Linsanity".

James Dolan, the owner of the Knicks, is also the owner of CNN, one of the three largest television stations in the United States......

Sun Ce felt that the worst thing was the 05 double pride, the prelude to Lin's madness, was that the Knicks suffered a wave of injuries, before playing the Nets, they only had 7 people to play, and they also signed two 10-day short contracts from the Development League to make up the 9-man roster, but Jeremy Lin broke out, got 30 points, 5 boards and 7 assists, and helped the Knicks kill the Nets.

Then on the 16th, the Knicks played the Lakers, Kobe Bryant didn't ask who Jeremy Lin was, he asked Sun Ce who he was before, he was beaten, and he had experience.

But Paul was upset, spewed a few words, and then, Jeremy Lin had 36 points and 11 assists that night......

Paul was also beaten as the Lakers lost 92-96 to the Knicks.

Combined with the game between the Knicks and Raptors, which ended before the Grizzlies beat the Nuggets tonight, Jeremy Lin averaged 28.3 points and 8 assists per game.

After this wave of six consecutive wins, the Knicks, who had already fallen to eighth in the East with a 13-13 record and had been overtaken by the Bucks, suddenly improved their record to 19-13, surpassing the Celtics and Pacers to fourth in the East.

After complaining, Sun Ce continued: "Actually, I really want to play against Jeremy Lin now, he is doing so well now, I really want to play against him like this, I want to play against all the strongest opponents." ”

This was said sincerely, and Director Zhang also heard that Sun Ce was very sincere, which was quite unexpected.

Sun Ce was willing to answer, and Director Zhang asked, "I heard that it was Xiaobawang and you suggested that Jeremy Lin go to the Knicks to find an opportunity, is this true?" ”

"Yes, last year he came to me and asked me if it was possible for him to establish himself in the NBA, and I knew a little bit about his style of play, so I suggested that he play under D'Antoni."

"You've seen him play? I remember he was not drafted, and he only played in the Summer League and Development League before going to the Knicks, do you know anything about him in those games? You've been following him for a long time? Director Zhang asked in surprise.

He didn't pay much attention to Jeremy Lin until he played 11+4 at the end of last season.

"Ah...... No, I've seen him play at Harvard, and I know he's very good, and I grew up watching him play......" Sun Ce said smoothly.

“……”

Director Zhang was speechless, and he was crazy in his heart: Can you change a line?

……

……

On the morning of Feb. 19, the morning after the bloody battle against the Nuggets, Sun Ce went to Oklahoma City with his teammates.

In the past wave of 6 consecutive masters, with a record of 5 wins and 1 loss, it can be said that the performance is very good, he Sun has averaged 21.6 points, 14.3 rebounds, 7.6 assists, 3.5 blocks and 1.3 steals per game, such a good performance, but the news and fan discussions are all about Jeremy Lin, and everyone else has become transparent, which makes Sun Ce a little unhappy, just like other players.

But I have to say that he Sun has not been affected much, not as sad as the two super point guards in the 05th class, they are being beaten head-on, Sun Ce is a little annoyed by the reporter's questions, and he still admires Jeremy Lin's performance in the last six games.

Jeremy Lin and Stoudemire's fast-break blocking, and Bynum's positional battle blocking, plus Novak, Tony Douglas, Fields, Walker, just seven people, with two Development League players, actually played a six-game winning streak.

If it weren't for the media going around to hate Jeremy Lin, this would have been a perfect highlight.

But CNN, one of the three major television stations in the United States, is the Knicks' own media, and it will definitely blow to death, if Jeremy Lin is not in the Knicks, even if he leads the team to several consecutive victories, it will not be so sensational.

For example, Sun Ce's performance was better before, and he was not as sensational as Jeremy Lin's 4 consecutive wins this time.

There are gains and losses, and Jeremy Lin enjoys the spotlight of the Big Apple, and he has to face the misery of his next wave of form.

Sun Ce's words to Zhang Weiping were really sincere, he regretted that he couldn't fight Jeremy Lin when he was the strongest, and it was impossible to have the opportunity to fight Jeremy Lin in such a state.

Sun Ce took a look at Jeremy Lin's performance in the last few games, and that feeling was ...... It's like Nash, who is more athletic, shoots accurately and decisively, has an amazing sense when passing, and one thing, his teammates can shoot.

And, everyone is talking about Jeremy Lin, but not many are talking about Bynum and Stoudemire's pick-and-rolls, Tony Douglas' 40 percent three-point shooting, Novak's 3.5 three-pointers per game during this period, and Landry Fields' contributions on the defensive end.

Jeremy Lin's explosive shooting state and teammates playing so well, Sun Ce feels that it is difficult to appear again.

Met the right teammates and coaches at the right time, used the right style of play, and played crazy performances in the case of explosive form - this is Sun Ce's view of Lin Madness.

After arriving at the hotel in Oklahoma City, Sun Ce made up for two hours of sleep, got up at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, ate something, and went to the Ford Center with his teammates.

At 8 p.m., the second battle of the 5-day 4-game will be played.

Sun Ce doesn't have time to care about Jeremy Lin now, even if Jeremy Lin leads the Knicks to consecutive wins to the All-Star Weekend, it has nothing to do with him, and now in front of him is the Thunder team that has tied 1-1 with them this season!
