1420. The Strong Are the Strong After All (Part 1)

After hanging up the phone, Sun Ce opened the prop space and saw the newly obtained rewards - Wade and Baylor's designated star experience cards, and designated skill upgrade cards!

The key one is in the back, Wade and Baylor designated the star experience card, Sun Ce doesn't know which season it is, is it their peak season? Or a season with 20+ in a single quarter?

Don't care about this for now, Sun Ce looked at the designated skill upgrade card, this card is the most important!

However, which one to upgrade?

Sun Ce once again fell into a difficult choice......

"Raise the Pick-and-Roll Expert to Level 5?"

Sun Ce looked at the "Note" of the 4th level of the ball blocking expert, and it was written that the new effect of the full level was the extension of the time of the trigger effect.

This new addition is good and good, but it really doesn't have an immediate effect.

Sun Ce thought about it for a while and focused his attention on the "Optimus Pillar Level 2".

Defending against James is crucial, and after accumulating 100 low-post blocks, this skill is upgraded to level 2, but the requirement to upgrade from level 2 to level 3 is 1,000 blocks...... Based on Sun Ce's more than 200 blocks per season, it will take at least four years to upgrade.

Although Sun Ce didn't want to admit it, he played an important role in defending James, and the vertical bounce in place gave James some impact.

After thinking about it, Sun Ce decided to promote this!

Don't think about anything else, at this stage, the stage of fighting for the championship, it must be how to be beneficial to the current situation.

As soon as my mind moved, the system prompt came

"The host uses the designated skill upgrade card, the specified skill: Optimus Pillar, congratulations to the host skill: Optimus Pillar for upgrading from level 2 to level 3."

"Optimus Pillar Level 3: When the host is defending under the basket, if the host chooses to jump vertically, the bounce height will be temporarily increased by two small notches to A-, and the static power will be temporarily increased by two minor notches to S-.

Note: This skill can be upgraded through a random skill upgrade card or a designated skill upgrade card, or it can be upgraded through the cumulative number of times the number of covers under the basket.

Note: This skill can be upgraded using a skill upgrade card or completing the upgrade target upgrade.

Upgrade Goal: Accumulate 1000 blocks (0/1000). ”

Sure enough, this time it's a static confrontation!

The most important thing is to fight vertically and be able to hold on.

However, the upgrade goal is still 1,000 blocks......

"No, if I only use the cumulative number of blocks to upgrade this advancement, it will take 1,000 blocks from level 2 to level 3, and when I upgrade to full level, even if I upgrade from level 4 to level 5, it will be 1,000 blocks, so I will have to have 3,100 blocks! This is the top three in history!

And I've been the king of blocks for the past three years, if I rely purely on the cumulative number of blocks to upgrade, then I almost have to win the all-time block king to be full! ”

……

……

There was nothing to do overnight, and on June 9th, the second match day of the finals arrived.

While the Grizzlies and Heat Finals were attracting the attention of all basketball fans, both teams were in big trouble in Los Angeles and were starting to deal with it.

Other teams in the league have also begun trade talks and contract extension negotiations, such as the Warriors, who have been favored by two major stars, Iguodala of the Hawks and Howard of the 76ers, both of whom are eager to partner with the recognized next generation of dream backcourts.

Anthony is about to become a free agent, and the agency is building momentum......

All of this is a sign that the season has really come to an end, and when the Finals are over and the trade window with this year's draft picks is opened, there will definitely be big moves.

According to media predictions, if the Grizzlies successfully defend their title, trades and free market flows will come more violently.

This is a past experience, the Lakers successfully defended their title in 2010, and the free agency market was volatile that summer; In 2001 and 2002, the Lakers successfully defended their title twice, and there was a lot of turnover in the summer.

However, these things have nothing to do with the Grizzlies and the Heat who are in a decisive battle, all the operations are just to win the championship, and they are competing for the championship in the final moments.

After a day of pre-game preparation, at 7 p.m., the Grizzlies' second road game of this year's Finals kicked off at the American Airlines Center.

After the game began, the Grizzlies firmly settled on the regular time with Sun Ce or Randolph, or Sun Ce and Randolph on the floor at the same time, with Nash, Gasol Jr., and Paul George leading their teammates to lead the main offense, and the role players going all out to compete with the Heat.

When necessary, Sun Ce and Randolph play alone, relying on role players most of the time.

Very clear policy, the Heat side seems to be prepared, desperately attacking in regular time, and at halftime, the Heat lead by six points at 47-41.

In the second half, Sun Ce and Randolph began to exert their strength, and once the score was overtaken by 4 points, but Ray Allen and Mike Miller scored 5 three-pointers in a row at the beginning of the fourth quarter to overtake the score by 8 points in one fell swoop!

This was a big blow to the Grizzlies, but fortunately, Sun Ce and Klay Thompson teamed up to shoot a three-pointer to go on a 12-6 run to narrow the gap to two points.

But at the last moment, Wade made a strong effort and scored 3 goals in a row to stabilize the situation, plus Ray Allen's three-pointer to lock the game, the Heat defeated the Grizzlies 97-91 and defended their second home court!

……

failed to directly 2-0, Sun Ce had some regrets, just a little bit!

Tonight, both teams scored fairly evenly, with the Grizzlies scoring 20 points, Paul George 20, Randolph 15, and Klay Thompson 14......

Paul George played the best in regular time, and Sun Ce and Randolph played not bad at critical moments, although Sun Ce and Randolph did not score as high as in the last game, Sun Ce had 14 rebounds and 7 assists in addition to 20 points, and Randolph focused on containment.

And at one point, the score was overtaken by 4 points, but it was snuffed out by Ray Allen scoring 3 consecutive 3-pointers and Mike Miller scoring 2 consecutive three-pointers.

The Heat's top scorer tonight was not James or Wade, but Ray Allen, who shot 7-of-10 from three-point range and scored 26 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal!

James mainly performed well in the first half, with 15 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in the first half, and only 2 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists in the second half, scoring 17 points, 9 rebounds and 14 assists.

Sun Ce feels that the biggest gap between James and Paul is not only strength, but also very different mentalities, James brought his talent to the South Coast, how badly he was scolded, and the league also canceled a lot of his privileges, making him very uncomfortable at the beginning.

However, James carried it and was scolded and endured until he won the best defensive player and MVP, and the scolding was much less; After not allowing to walk outside the rules, James also worked hard to develop his own skills, and he can see progress almost every year, maybe his strength, it is unlikely that there will be obvious progress, but the details are getting better and better, and the whole body is not as slotted as before.
