206. The Tragic Pioneer (2nd Update)

After an afternoon of training with Nash, the next day, on the morning of the 27th, Sun Ce followed the team to Portland in the Great Northwest.

The first back-to-back game in 5 days and 4 games, first playing the Trail Blazers in Rose City, and going to Los Angeles to play the Clippers the next morning.

With such a schedule, if you want to do pre-game preparation, you can do relatively perfect pre-game preparation for the first game of four consecutive games.

When Sun Ce went to train with Nash yesterday, the coaching staff learned about the recent situation of the Trail Blazers and made a targeted plan for the current lineup and style of play of the Trail Blazers.

On the morning of the 28th, the Grizzlies came to the Rose Garden Arena for tactical meetings and tactical drills.

In this game, the Grizzlies paid more attention and prepared more than the Suns, because the Trail Blazers are the direct competitors of the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies are currently 7-8 in 10th place in the West, and the Trail Blazers are 9-6 and 8th in the West, both of which are contenders for playoff spots.

You can lose against the Suns, but you can't lose against the Trail Blazers, and if the two teams have the same record at the end of the regular season, the comparison between the Grizzlies and the Trail Blazers will be quite important.

……

"Noah, why don't you arrange the Suns and Clippers back-to-back, the two cities are so close, you have to hit the Suns first and then come here, and fly back to the West Coast tomorrow morning? Isn't that a toss-up? The game was about to start, and Guy sat next to Sun Ce and complained.

"......" Sun Ce didn't know that Guy had so many unknown attributes.

He loves to play musical instruments, loves to show off his wealth, and is still a talker...... Could it be that Leonard couldn't stand this guy's words and left the Spurs?

Sun Ce speculated maliciously.

Guy is so hurt, it seems that another rookie doesn't want to pay attention to him!

Why again?

Because Conley and Gasol Jr. were annoyed by his thin tongue one after another, and when he began to think about it, neither of them would pay attention to him.

Originally, there was another Randolph who also liked to brag nonsense, but Guy couldn't go to Randolph to brag, and the game was about to start, and Coach Hollins was pulling Randolph to say something.

When the sun hit the day before yesterday, Randolph had a technical foul.

Stoudemire once slammed the dunk on Randolph's head, and Randolph pushed him angrily.

Of course, there was no real conflict, but the referee still gave Randolph a technical foul.

Randolph is actually a disaster, originally Stoudemire wanted to retaliate against Sun Ce, but don't look at Sun Ce's offensive end to go inside, when defending, in addition to grabbing rebounds and breaking through the opponent, he basically won't go inside, and grabbing rebounds and defending are based on height, rarely when he jumps with all his strength, it is too difficult to block him, so Stoudemire catches who to dunk whom......

Hit the Trailblazers today...... Randolph didn't like the team's emotions beyond words, and Coach Hollins needed to tell him before the game that he couldn't take any more technical fouls.

Sun Ce was keeping an eye on the opponent's players.

The Trail Blazers' brightest player is Brandon Roy.

"Brandon Roy, A+ on Ability, A+ on Offense, B+ on Defense, B on Three, A on Shot, A+ on Layup, A+ on Breakout...... Speed A, Power B+...... Averaged 21 points, 4 rebounds, 4.4 assists per game ......"

Roy, who just reached a five-year, 82 million contract extension with the Trail Blazers, is now in high spirits!

What is Roy's high-spirited performance? His hair grew two or three centimeters long, turning his former small round head into a ...... The hair is a little longer and curls against the scalp...... There is nothing else, and they are still preparing for the game.

looks like an uncle in his 30s, who looks unusually mature, but in fact, he is a fourth-year player, and he is the No. 6 show in the same class as Guy.

Look at the fourth-grader on his side, and then look at the second-scoring guard in the Quasi-West who is carrying the team alone under the team's extensive injuries...... How can the gap between people be so big?

Why is it said to be the second-best scoring guard in the West? Because of the comeback Monta Ellis averaged 25 points, 4 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game.

Who is the second scoring guard in the West is a matter of considerable concern to fans, and Ellis and Roy are both the types of players that fans like.

Ellis is a ball wind blast, while Roy is a technical stream.

It can be seen from Roy's A-level speed and A+ level breakthrough that he has averaged more than 3 goals per game from close range this season, which is quite close to Kobe Bryant and Rose, two first-class outside basket scorers.

But...... The Grizzlies have a big, big advantage today.

The Trail Blazers' bench lineup is worse than that of the Grizzlies, and the reason for the misery is not that the Trail Blazers owner does not give the former reinforcements, the Trail Blazers compared their salaries with the Knicks at the beginning of the century, and they have a season with a salary of more than 100 million, but their injuries this season are too serious, and the bench is pulled to play as a starter, and the bench is naturally unavailable.

Oden didn't play long before he got injured and didn't know when he would come back or when he would get hurt again after he returned.

Roy's French Pippen Nicolas Batum, who played a game in the new season because of a knee injury in the preseason, the team doctor did not deal with it in time, and he was injured for the second time in the game, and the tibia bone fracture in the knee needed at least 3 months to recover......

Rademarcus Aldridge suffered a severe groin strain in the middle of the month, Travis Outlo suffered a right elbow injury, and Rudy Fernandez suffered a back-to-back injury......

Even Roy was plagued by pain in his right knee, which had his meniscus removed last season, but their team doctor told Roy that his right knee was just plain soreness, and Roy believed it and continued to play, but occasionally missed games.

However, their owner is still very good to Roy, even if he had a major injury to his left knee before, he also gave a contract extension with a maximum salary in the summer, and the 5-year 82 million refreshed the largest contract in the history of the Trail Blazers.

The entire Trail Blazers, who have only played for a month this season, have all been injured except for DeAndre Miller, who is too hard to die!

Originally, the Trail Blazers had a fourth-place finish in the West before Aldridge's injury in the middle of the month, with a better record than the Nuggets, but now they have dropped to eighth.

The Trail Blazers have only eight players available today......

The last time a team had such a bad situation was the Warriors last season, when the Warriors had a game that could not meet the league's requirement of at least seven players to play, so they had to sign Marcus Williams, Sun Ce's current teammate, in the Development League.

……

By half past five in the afternoon, the Grizzlies and Trail Blazers game began.

Overwhelming advantage!

Guy saw that Roy was playing very actively, although Guy was not Roy's opponent, but he could also cause a lot of trouble for Roy, Batum was not there, and Roy had to defend Guy personally.

And in Aldridge's absence, there is no one on the Trail Blazers' side who can compete with Randolph and Gasol Jr.

Randolph slaughtered all sides, played 31 minutes, 13 of 17, and 8 of 10 free throws to score 34 points and 22 boards, brutal to the extreme!

Trail Blazers head coach Nate McMillan isn't struggling either, and who let them meet Randolph, a former star of their own team who hates them so much, when their own team is at the peak of their injuries.

Roy also played well, with 17 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, but that's all.

Sun Ce played 19 minutes today, got 2 points, 4 boards, 5 assists and 2 steals, the opponent's backup point guard was signed back from the Development League, Sun Ce couldn't remember his name, and the steal made two counterattacks, forcing the other party to replace Andre Miller again, 33-year-old Andre Miller is not young anymore, it's okay to play positional battles, it's really difficult for him to run, but the Trail Blazers' rotation lineup can't hold down the rhythm at all......

Comfortably, in the third minute of the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies made it 89-59.

With Sun Ce's 5 assists, Conley's 11+7, Gay's 14 points, Randolph's 34 points, Gasol Jr.'s 12 points and 7 assists, and Jordan Jr.'s 11 points and 5 boards, the Grizzlies finally slaughtered the Trail Blazers 109-80 and ended the two-game losing streak.

……

……

It's a pity to play the trailblazer Sun Ce, not because the head coach didn't let him brush up on the garbage time, he resolutely denied it.

He regretted not being able to see Roy perform at full strength while he was still healthy.

It's miserable!

Sun Ce felt that the players of the entire Trail Blazers team were too miserable!

Sun Ce also wanted to ask Andre Miller what good things he did in his last life, so that he could not be played bad by the team doctor in the Trail Blazers......

didn't give Sun Ce much time to feel sorry for Roy's encounter, and returned to the hotel to practice the Nash training method after the game on the evening of the 29th, and left for the airport with the team at eight o'clock the next morning, and came to Los Angeles on the West Coast.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the second game of the back-to-back began, taking on the Clippers on the road.

Why did Randolph, Gay, Gasol Jr., and Conley all play so hard yesterday and stretched the margin to more than 15 points in the first quarter?

It's because you have to play back-to-back, which is the need of the team, and the players also understand this, so they beat the opponent at the beginning, stretched the score to 20 points in the third quarter, and abused the difference to 30 points in the fourth quarter, so as to avoid the opponent from breaking out and playing a wave, and the main force has to go up and continue to play.

With the run-in of two games, Anthony Parker has integrated into the team very well, although the offensive end has a single role, but it just meets the needs of the team, open up space, there are open positions to shoot three-pointers, and if the opponent on the defensive end is not speedy, at least he will not lag behind, and he is experienced.

But the protagonist of tonight's outburst is Jordan Jr......

Camby's average of 12 boards and 2 blocks per game "defensive data" doesn't know what the use is, due to Gasol Jr.'s physical problems, Jordan Jr. played a lot of time with the starters, and there was no other role, playing the Clippers He just fought, played 27 minutes of offensive rebounds and grabbed 5, 3 of which were converted into scores, plus two empty catches with Sun Ce, received a dunk from Randolph and got 12 points and 10 boards......

Jordan Jr.'s first career double!
