91. Strange defending champion
An inconsequential preseason game, Ellis couldn't play a few minutes, and he had to play the last three preseason games at most.
You can question Ellis's shooting options, you can slam Ellis for playing alone, and you can curse Ellis for being too egotistical and often causing the Warriors to lose.
But Ellis's professionalism cannot be doubted!
He's the kind of guy who's going to give his best whenever you call him on the pitch, no matter what the situation, and he's always training at a high intensity, and he's always going to play to his characteristics.
Ellis is like a nerve knife that can stabilize the output - the enhanced version of physical strength, the weakened version of the ability limit Manu Ginobili.
Ellis doesn't play preseason or not, it doesn't make much of a difference for him, he's trained too hard and is always in the best shape, he started the season with a major injury and only returned in March, and he is still in the groove right away, averaging 19 points per game on 45.1 percent shooting.
He doesn't need to rely on pre-season to find form.
And he had long expected that today should be the turn to test Sun Ce's strength.
Changing someone to let Ellis give up the starter, even if it's a preseason, he won't agree.
But if it's that "opponent", it doesn't seem to be a big deal.
The style of a Mamba player is like this, it's one thing whether you are good or not, and the level of respect for you depends mainly on how hard you work.
But Ellis didn't think deeper......
……
No matter how good you are, there will always be some people who catch you black, even if it is from your own country......
They'll think you're just lucky, why you can go to the NBA and get a guaranteed contract for $1 million.
When they see that you don't perform well afterwards, a small number of people start jumping.
Because Sun Ce didn't have a good performance...... It's just that he didn't show it, and the media who wanted to support him couldn't find a place to support him, so they could only watch those people jump out of the black.
Just when some reporters were writing "Sun Ce has no confidence to stay in the NBA", "Sun Ce will follow Sun Yue's old path"...... When I was waiting for the headline party news, a news that made these media vomit blood came......
In an interview before the game, Nelson Sr. said that Sun Ce will start tonight!
These reporters who arrested Sun Cehei could only silently archive the written manuscripts...... Some reporters who want to say a few words for Sun Ce and be proud of their compatriots can finally have news to write!
……
……
"Starters?" When Sun Ce heard the news, he was not ecstatic, but stunned.
"Start with a hammer! Hit the Lakers starters? There's a snake on the other side! ”
I didn't say anything about it in the morning's tactical meeting, just a normal tactical meeting, and after coming back for a tactical training session after the interview, the old Nelson suddenly announced that Ellis might not play tonight, and Sun Ce started!
This makes some of the outside bench players either envious or jealous.
Just when Sun Ce's egg hurt, something even more painful came.
A system panel that is almost transparent but allows Sun Ce to see it came out.
"C-level event: The first stage of the preseason battle event has been triggered."
"C-level events preseason battle first stage: In the host's upcoming preseason game against the Los Angeles Lakers, the host's total contribution value needs to be higher than that of CJ Watson (20 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists. ), Score = 1, Rebounds = 1, Assists = 2. Completion (0/28). ”
"Damn! That guy played the data played by the Clippers for Lao Tzu to get when he played the Lakers? "Sun Ce feels like a dog!
"It's just the preseason, Black Snake shouldn't be serious!" Sun Ce could only comfort himself.
At this time, Sun Ce saw a seemingly happy elementary school student floating in front of him......
Sun Ce had a way, and leaned next to the elementary school student and said, "Stephen, is it okay for you to play as a point guard and shoot more today?" ”
"Huh? All right! The coach also asked me to shoot more. ”
Curry was puzzled for a moment and answered, but ...... It always feels weird.
However, this is exactly what Curry needs, and the coaching staff's arrangement is to let him play more and shoot more, so that he can adapt to the NBA faster, and when it comes to the regular season, he can quickly provide instant combat power.
After all, in terms of technology, Curry is already very mature, but the confrontation problem is still there.
There is no way to improve the confrontation immediately, so you can only adapt to this confrontation and adjust your playing style when the confrontation is not as good as most opponents.
Rookie...... It's always easy to hit the wall for various reasons, just find a solution.
……
……
The preseason cannot fully represent the strength of a player, but the preseason will definitely leave the impression of "no" in the minds of the coaching staff if he can't play well without playing enough playing time, after all, he is only a rookie at the end of the second round, and the coaching staff will not give so much patience.
Let's do our best!
After Sun Ce warmed up, he followed his teammates into the court.
The appearance ceremony is still Ellis as the boss, as the strongest of the team, Ellis's face coaching staff still has to take care of.
However, after the entrance ceremony, the Warriors' starting lineup played on the big screen was: Curry, Sun Ce, Stephen Jackson, Randolph, and Biedrins.
After entering, Sun Ce stared at the group of people opposite......
"I'm a good ......"
Kobe Bryant, Competency Rating S+......
Pau Gasol, Competency Evaluation S-......
Lamar Odom, Competency Assessment A+......
Andrew Bynum, Competency A+......
Ron Artest, Competency Assessment A+......"
"It's too much!" Sun Ce looked at the top five players in the Lakers' ability evaluation...... These are two at least S-rated stars with a lineup of three A+ stars......
Ellis, the strongest on the Warriors' side, is only A+!
Deal Value...... Sun Ce himself felt that Ellis really had no advantage over Odom or Artest, and it seemed to be the same for the role of a strong team.
Odom's all-round warrior, from one dozen to five, is the starting center of the U.S. national team.
Artest led the Rockets to the second round last season......
However, the five stars are so horizontal, and when Sun Ce saw the ability evaluation of other players on the Lakers team, it was a big question mark.
Fisher, who ranks sixth in the Lakers' ability evaluation, has only C+ in the ability evaluation, and Shannon Brown and Jordan Farmar only have C-level ability evaluation...... Adam Morrison is a C-, Sasha Vujasic and Josh Powell are both D+-......
“…… The main force of this lineup is powerful, but how did this lineup defend the title? The second lineup is terrible, isn't it? ”
Sun Ce doesn't understand, should the Lakers say that the lineup is good? Or is the lineup bad? In my last life, I saw the Lakers enter the Finals for three consecutive years and win two championships, and now that I think about it carefully, it seems that they can score double-doubles, at most four or five players.
The Lakers don't have these stalwarts from B to A-level, except for the five players who can be the core of the average team, and the rest are all C-level substitutes or even D-level hell-notch players who can only be in the NBA.
Can this squad defend the title?
Sun Ce feels that the Lakers are simply a mudslide among the defending champions!
