The Lakers are coming!

The Grizzlies returned to Memphis the morning after the game against the Hornets, and the Lakers had already arrived when they played the Hornets yesterday.

The matchup after the All-Star Weekend is more important to both sides than the previous two encounters!

The first two meetings between the two teams ended in a 1-1 draw, with both sides looking to take the lead in the regular season and create a psychological advantage for the playoffs.

After returning to Memphis in the morning, Sun Ce began to study the two games played by the Lakers after the All-Star Weekend, and his teammates went back to their respective homes to catch up on sleep, and the tactical meeting was held at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, but Sun Ce practiced the Nash training method after the game last night and is now full of energy.

How big was the main consumption last night...... In fact, last night's game against the Hornets except for Sun Ce played 40 minutes, the rest of the playing time was relatively average, Klay Thompson's 32 minutes was the most except for Sun Ce, everyone else played between 12 and 25 minutes, and Gobert played the first half of the second quarter and the second half of the third quarter for a full 12 minutes.

It's just that everyone didn't play well on the offensive end, and the defense was okay, with some performing well and some performing poorly.

In short, the coaching staff is fully prepared for the next game against the Lakers, and the physical strength of the main team is preserved as much as possible.

The Lakers are 1-1 in two games after the All-Star Weekend, and on the 22nd, the Lakers and Heat met for the second time this season, beating the Heat 106-99, and the Lakers and Trail Blazers met for the third time this season on the 24th, losing 101-107 to the Trail Blazers.

Among them, the loss to the Trail Blazers, the Lakers made another mistake of aristocratic disease, trailing by 18 points at halftime 37-55, although the Lakers soared 64 points in the second half, playing a halftime score of 64-52, and finally failed to turn the tables.

Sun Ce has to admit that the Lakers are really strong! It can be said that after Kobe Bryant and Paul played a tacit understanding in the first two seasons, they upgraded Paul's position with James, upgrading from a burst level to an MVP level, and also greatly strengthened the pitcher lineup.

If there is any flaw, it is that the big forward position is weak, the interior combination of Ci Shiping and Boozer, the former can't prevent sitting and playing, and the latter can't prevent speed, but in today's league, there are few big forwards who can sit and chisel.

Duncan can't be chiseled anymore, it's more of a bridging role, Nowitzki is one for mid-to-long range, Bosh is one for all-around, Al Jefferson is one, and Millsap is playing well against the Lakers...... But the league no longer has the kind of big forward who can dominate the inside line of the restricted area to beat the Lakers, so this disadvantage is really not obvious, with the rotation of Nene and Carman's center, the Lakers captain time to play one big or four small is enough in this league.

Their Grizzlies originally had an advantage point - Randolph, but Randolph was reimbursed this year!

The Lakers, who were somewhat top-heavy in the early years, are particularly suitable in today's increasingly fast-paced era, which allows Sun Ce to personally understand why the Warriors in the original time and space can play dominant without a powerful interior line, rather than through analysis.

It's a very different feeling.

Thinking that his own team began to try to use Randolph as center and Larry Sanders as power forward on the defensive end last season, Sun Ce felt that his team still had a good future in terms of daring to think and do.

But in the crucial year when the team made changes, it happened to be a season on the verge of physical collapse after three consecutive Western Conference finals and two consecutive championships, although changes were made through signings, drafts, trades, etc., but they still failed to completely prevent the invasion of injuries, and even Klay Thompson and Paul George, two young teammates, suffered injuries.

……

At 1 p.m., Sun Ce came to the stadium and attended the team meeting.

There is no time for preparation training, there is still a break after the tactical meeting, and the regular season is like this, and the reason why there are so many upsets has a lot to do with this, back-to-back, consecutive away games, even away and home, four games in five days...... No matter how strong the team is, it will also suffer.

In fact, it is surprising that the Grizzlies have maintained the fourth record in the West in this season.

And the Grizzlies can play such an amazing record, the key point is - Sun Ce!

Sun Ce's habitual outburst still exists, but now it's not just a habitual outburst, compared to last season, Sun Ce's performance in the normal state this season has also made a leap!

Sun Ce's regular strength has reached superstar level, and the deterrent power brought by the occasional outburst gives him more opportunities in passing...... There are many people who feel that under the extremely unfavorable factors such as the team's player replacement too fast, Randolph's season reimbursement, the team's overall injuries, and the collapse of the defense, the Grizzlies can still play such a record, which is really supported by Sun Ce.

Paul George is still a relatively immature playmaker in general, Klay Thompson has a limit to what he can do as a 3D player, and the other players, the best are Yi Jianlian and Valanciunas and Larry Sanders, all three are functional players, Yi Jianlian has no defense, Valanciunas has no pass, and Larry Sanders has no offense.

Therefore, after All-Star Weekend, the two strong teams that met in the real sense of preparing for the game, the Hornets and the Lakers, both made very targeted arrangements for the game against the Grizzlies.

The Hornets took advantage of the Grizzlies' lack of two scorers to cut off Sun Ce's connection with his teammates who shot well, and used Al Jefferson's tonnage and McRoberts' mobility to lock Sun Ce's offense under the basket, forcing Sun Ce to only shoot on the fly, and defended the role players very well, limiting the Grizzlies to only 89 points in a single game.

By tonight, the Lakers have been beaten by Sun Ce with 72 points in a single game, but they have a different mentality from the Knicks, both of them have scored 72 points from Sun Ce, are they afraid of being scored more points?

The Hornets' defense was very effective last night, even if Yi Jianlian, Paul George, and Richard Jefferson returned tonight, the Lakers also chose a defensive strategy that followed the cat, and the effect was not as obvious as that of the Hornets against the Grizzlies, but the Lakers did find it to be a pretty good strategy.

As long as the defense can have a little effect, even if it is not particularly good, the Lakers are already very satisfied, because their offense is not comparable to the Hornets!

Having gained a slight advantage, the Lakers seized on that advantage, and when Sun Ce's individual score, or his teammates under Sun Ce's and Paul George's tandem shooting problems, and the Grizzlies' scoring stalled slightly, the Lakers seized the opportunity to establish the advantage.

In the end, the Lakers, who were in excellent shape, did not commit aristocratic diseases, and had a clear strategy and firm designation, narrowly defeated the Grizzlies 107-102, improving their record to 45-12 while fixing the Grizzlies' record in February to 38-18!

Sun Ce played the whole game tonight, and the physical energy potion used up in the past three games, and he shot 20 of 40 in 48 minutes of playing time, and will hit 50 percent of the shots, including 6 of 14 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, and 53 points, 11 boards, 6 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal.

The Lakers have a lot of outside rotation players, and they have done a really good job of defending the rest of the Grizzlies, and they have come up with a playoff mode to beat the Grizzlies, and they have steadily suppressed the Grizzlies for a whole game!

……

LeBron James' Balance Bracelet Advancement Event (A):

Goal 1: The host needs to average more than 8 rebounds per game + more than 8 assists per game in a single season. (To be completed)

Goal 2: The host needs to win at least two games against LeBron James' team for the remainder of the season after completing Goal 1. (Winning Match: 1, To be Completed)

Goal 3: The host needs to have at least two triple-doubles in the remainder of the season after completing Goal 1 against LeBron James' team. (Number of triple-doubles: 1, to be completed)

Bonus: LeBron James' Balance Band (B) is advanced to Elvin Johnson's Balance Band (A). ”

After playing the game with the Lakers, Sun Ce watched this incident, and there was still one time between winning and triple-double!

rebounds and assists 8 + 8, playing so far, Sun Ce is not worried about this, after playing the game with the Lakers, their Grizzlies have 26 games left, the first 56 games, he got 33.5 points, 13.7 boards, 9.3 assists, 3.3 blocks and 1.5 steals, Baocheng 30 + 8 + 8 data is no problem.

But there is only one time left against the Lakers this season!

In the game of the Lakers, Sun Ce really fought hard, throwing 40 times, although he played at least 20 irons in a single game for the 24th time in his career, he also threw 20, which can be said to be a very good performance.

Three consecutive games 40+...... The 17th 40+ time of the season, the third of which was 50+, still failed to snatch the victory in the hands of the Lakers, who had a playoff mentality and preparation.

Seeing Kobe's rampant laughter after the Lakers win, hearing the rampant laughter...... After Sun Ce went home, he took a sticky note, wrote three Chinese characters of "mentally retarded cup", and pasted it on the All-Star MVP trophy.

Zu Ge quietly followed behind Sun Ce, watching Sun Ce's operation, angry and funny.

She is certainly one of Sun Ce's most die-hard fans, and like Lily Collins, it is entirely because Sun Ce is in this industry that she likes to watch basketball games.

But she can't control the wins and losses of the game, and she really can't find anything to comfort her, after all, there are games to lose every year, and the game is like this, there are always losses and wins.

Sun Ce's side, vented his little emotions on the side, and then went to the gym to practice the Nash training method, and if he lost the game, he lost, and he had to look forward.

The advanced event of the balance bracelet has no time limit, this season can't be completed and there is next season, he just tries to complete it in this season as much as possible, if it really can't be completed, then there is no way, and there are many failed events.

At 11:20 p.m., Sun Ce returned to the room after practicing the Nash training method, Zu Ge and Lily Collins had already helped him put the water in the bath, adjust the temperature, put the bath salts, and after taking a shower, Sun Ce soaked in the heated bathtub, and finally relieved the irritability of losing.

But just then, a system prompt came!

"The host has reached 17 times in a single game 40+ times this season, which has sparked heated discussions among fans, and in the minds of the media and fans, the host has become one of the best scorers in the league and is seen as a player with the potential to dominate the score, and the Challenger Series Event: The Epic Scoring Champion Prologue is triggered."

Prologue to the Epic Scoring Champion (*):

Goal: The host needs to surpass 40+ times in a single game in a single season.

Event Reward: If the host has 40+ games in a single season and surpasses Kobe Bryant's 19 times, the player will receive a star experience card for that season; If you surpass Michael Jordan's 22 times in a single season, the final reward will be the player's star experience card for that season, and so on. ”

Sun Ce looked at it for a while before he understood, which means that in the 40+ ranking in a single season, the player he surpassed at the end was the object of the final reward?

Sun Ce opened the event section of the challenger series and looked at it, and sure enough, it provided a ranking that surpassed.

First place, Zhang Erwan, 61-62 season, 63 times 40+ in a single game......

Seeing this, Sun Ce understood one of the reasons for the emergence of this incident...... The most important reason must be that his grandson has a chance to surpass the tenth-place Kobe Bryant in the 02-03 season with 19 triple-doubles.

However, this impossible record is the key!

Sun Ce himself felt that this record could never be broken, that is, in the normal way of breaking the record, he would never be able to get a reward on this list.

Not to mention that the first place cannot be surpassed, the second place, Zhang Erwan averaged 43.2 points per game in the 62-63 season, and 44 times 40+ in a single game.

The third place, Zhang Erwan averaged 38.4 points per game in the 60-61 season and scored 38 times 40+.

In fourth place, it was Boss Joe, who averaged 37.1 points per game and 40+ times 37 times in the 86-87 season.

Fifth place, another Zhang 20,000, rookie year, 30 times 40+,

Sixth, Rick Barry, '66-67, 28 times.

No. 7, Kobe Bryant, 05-06 season, 27 times 40+.

Eighth place, Boss Joe, in the 89-90 season, soared again the year before winning the first championship, 22 times 40+.

Ninth, Bob McAdoo, '74-75, 21 40+.

No. 10, Kobe Bryant, 02-03 season, O'Neal suffered a series of injuries that year, and Kobe Bryant got 19 times 40+.

ranked 40+ times in a single season, and Boss Qiao squeezed into the top five once.

And on this list, only Zhang Erwan, Jordan, and Kobe Bryant can be selected many times.

This event was triggered, Sun Ce had a very complicated mood, and he had the opportunity to enter the top ten of the 40+ rankings in a single season in history, so he naturally wanted to rush to a wave.

But a record that can never be broken is in front of you, and it really doesn't feel very comfortable to be one of the best basketball players in the world.

But other stars have also come over like this, as strong as Boss Qiao, in the scoring that he is best at, the distance between him and Zhang 20,000 is still far away.

After taking a shower, Sun Ce returned to the bedroom, Lily Collins was already asleep, and secretly kissed him, Sun Ce lay on the bed and swiped his mobile phone, searching for his specific ranking in a single season of 40+ games.

In fact, he is not the 11th, the 11th is the iceman George Gewen's 18 times 40+, and Zhang Erwan also has 18 times 40+ in the 63-64 season; His grandson's 17 40+ and Iverson's 17 40+ in the 00-01 season tied for 12th.

Turning off the phone, I was already very tired from training with the Nash training method, and I was so sleepy that I couldn't do it, and I was startled by the event that had just been triggered, and now I want to sleep even more.

Before going to bed, Sun Ce took another look at the event that had just been triggered, and I have to say that the reward was too tempting! Such an event, if it is not completed, is a huge loss of failure!

Even if the top five can't get in, 6-10, which one of them comes out, is the strongest scorer of his own era, and even the best scoring performance of all scorers in that era in a single season!

It's really a blood loss if you can't get it!

……

……

On the morning after the game against the Lakers, Sun Ce ravaged the little face of Zu Goose, who was woken up early in the morning with a stubborn and angry face, kissed Lily Collins goodbye, and left for the airport.

In March, the Grizzlies had a league-high 17 games, and 11 of those games were on the road!

The first stop in March is the capital of the United States.

It was early to leave because there was an important event for their team today - a visit to the White House.

Compared with last year, Sun Ce already has experience this year, just don't talk too much.

Just don't talk too much, Yao Ming sent someone to supervise him, for fear that he would say something that he shouldn't say, it doesn't matter in the United States, for fear that Sun Ce will interfere with the "political correctness" of the domestic Blue Association officials.

Sun Ce didn't bother to talk much, this place, after coming once, there was nothing new for the second time, but Hardaway Jr., Gobert, Richard Jefferson, and Stoudemire, a few new players who had not won an NBA championship, were more interested here.

This time they are not the champions, but when they come to Memphis, they have core players like Sun Ce, and they feel that if they play well and become a stable member of the team, they will definitely win the championship in the early or late stages of their careers!

In such a team, the young players are more about learning, and the veterans are more about not caring about the data to assist the young players, which is something they have deeply felt after playing for more than half a season.

With Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, and Paul George, the team doesn't care whether other people's stats are good or not, the point is to play well.

Sun Ce is three games away from surpassing Kobe Bryant and entering the top 10 of the 40+ rankings in a single season...... This caused a sensation last night, and after Sun Ce tied Iverson in 40+ games in a single season, some media threw out the topic.

At present, the Grizzlies have 26 games left, and with Sun Ce's performance this season, coupled with Sun Ce's unlimited firing rights in the Grizzlies, Sun Ce has won 20+ times of 40+ in a single game, which seems to be no suspense.

But how many places can you finish in the end?

This has become the focus of heated discussions among fans.

The 22 times of Boss Qiao, who ranked eighth, under the premise of Sun Ce's state this season and the Grizzlies' need for him to score points, fans feel that Sun Ce will definitely be able to surpass.

Even, Kobe Bryant and Barry, who are in seventh and sixth place, are in unstable positions!

God knows how many games Sun Ce can get with 26 games left?

As for the top five...... That's difficult, Sun Ce currently has 17 single-game 40+, the fifth-ranked Zhang Erwan got 30 40+ rookie years, and Sun Ce has 26 games left, so he has to get 14 times.

But there are also those who feel that it is not impossible!
