1588. The Little Overlord Who Was Surrounded and Suppressed by the Superstars of His Age (5000 words)
Lost once at home to the Grizzlies, once again on the road, and now on the road to the Grizzlies...... Westbrook doesn't want to lose!
But Sun Ce ...... It's like a devil! I've been at the top of the season triple-double list for several years, but I just won't come down!
played 53 games, averaging 216 points, 103 rebounds, 123 assists and 16 steals per game...... Westbrook looked at his own data, he didn't expect that he could play such data, but he didn't expect to play such data, and he was not the first in the triple-double list!
Sun Ce, on his side, averaged 327 points, 13 boards, 92 assists, 32 blocks and 16 steals per game, once dominating the triple-double list and scoring list!
Now, Durant's side has finally overtaken the scoring list, and Westbrook feels that it should be his turn now!
……
Westbrook's ideas, during this period, represent the expectations of many fans who aren't Son Ce fans or Grizzlies fans.
It's been four years!
If it weren't for James, who played the second-longest winning streak in history last season, no one really could beat Sun Ce in the regular season in the past four years!
In today's era when rookies only represent talent, Sun Ce can actually be like a player in the first ten years, after entering the NBA and adapting for a year, he began to show dominance in the second year.
Such Sun Ce has attracted a large number of fans, but he has also been excluded by fans who already have favorite stars.
Because, in this day and age, a player like him is so special!
Anthony Davis's sophomore progress is very great, James's sophomore progress is also very good, but compared with Sun Ce, it is completely overshadowed, since the new century, no player can have Sun Ce's performance, the last player like Sun Ce, has to be traced back to 1997 A champion who began to lead the NBA fashion trend after playing for more than ten years.
Now, someone can finally crush Sun Ce!
Durant is responsible for grabbing the scoring title with Sun Ce, and is really capable, and Westbrook is responsible for competing for the triple-double with Sun Ce, and is also capable of competing for ...... It's two to one, but there's no way!
Sun Ce entered the NBA and quickly became the strongest of his generation within three years.
Not to mention the contemporaries, the Mesozoic generation can't find a few players who can be compared with Sun Ce, this season, Anthony Davis and Sun Ce are competing for the block king, Drummond and Jordan Jr. lead the rebounding list, Durant and Sun Ce are competing for the scoring title, and Westbrook is fighting for the triple-double king......
If it weren't for Sun Ce's big size, many predicted pass block success rates would be higher than steal success rates, Sun Ce would not be able to steal the king, non-Sun Ce fans, non-Grizzlies fans are really worried that one day Sun Ce will lead all the lists!
No, if it weren't for the fact that Westbrook, Rose, James, and Paul were far ahead of the average of 10+ assists per game this year, Sun Ce had an average of 96 assists per game for a period of time, and at the beginning of the century, Kidd had two assists per game with an average of fewer assists than this!
The Grizzlies have a poor record this year, and although fans and the media think it's okay, they don't think it's that good.
On this basis, Sun Ce has been ranked first in the VP rankings 7 times this season and ranked first in the league for 5 weekly awards, which means that his performance is indeed terrifying!
This year's three-point average king, Sun Ce doesn't seem to be chasing it, and Curry is a little ruthless; There is no chance to assist Wang Sun Ce, and it seems that he has not forced it; The same goes for rebounds and steals.
But even so, Sun Ce still has a block list, a score list, and a triple-double list to compete for!
Many fans are eager and looking forward to Durant, Westbrook, and Anthony Davis, the three contemporaries of Sun Ce, that is, the top stars and superstars who entered the NBA within three years before him, and the superstars who joined forces to defeat Sun Ce!
……
The day's preparation time passed quickly, and at 5 p.m., after eating a nutritious meal and resting for nearly an hour, Sun Ce and his teammates began to warm up for tonight's game.
After the massage and stretching were done, Sun Ce and his teammates shot warmly.
The fans' attention to this game and the media's enthusiasm for this game have exceeded Sun Ce's expectations, and the popularity of the half-curtain call is much higher than in previous years!
This made Sun Ce very stressed, but also more excited.
If you win a game like this, you can do what you wanted to do for a year but didn't have the opportunity to do at the same time last year...... Sun Ce was even more desperate to win this game.
Originally, Sun Ce didn't plan to tell anyone, he wanted to do it after winning the game, but now, he decided to tell his teammates about it.
The first is to increase the fighting spirit and enthusiasm of the teammates, and the second is to ...... After the game, with this group of teammates cheering and helping behind his back, he was also a little more courageous.
Indeed, it took courage to do that, and if it weren't for a day like this, he really wouldn't have had the courage to make that decision.
He had always thought that the matter was very simple, but when it fell on him, he hesitated for a year and didn't dare to speak.
But now, Sun Ce feels that he needs to give himself a motivation and push himself to do it from all aspects!
The current situation is too delicate, Lily Collins has just been pregnant with her second child, which really disrupts Sun Ce's plan, if there is no stimulation now, maybe the other party will think that he was forced to choose to do that because he had a second child, otherwise what would he have done earlier?
And before, he was just scared......
Having made up his mind and waiting for the time to enter after the warm-up, Sun Ce called his teammates together and said a few words......
"Cool! That's cool! Third brother, why didn't I think of such a romantic thing? Paul George exclaimed.
"You'd better collect your stamps! How many of the 12 zodiac signs are left? ”
“……”
"Third brother, I will do my best to help you! Try to get the ball in and open up space! "Clay Thompson is really much more, mainly talking about philately...... He is also a philatelic enthusiast.
"I'll do my best to prevent Westbrook, third brother, don't worry!" Beverly swore by it.
"I'm trying to keep Durant ......," Prince said in a rare move.
A group of teammates chattered to Sun Ce and expressed their desire to help Sun Ce with all their might.
This kind of thing, teammates on the same team, no one will not want to help, unless the relationship is bad enough to be like Anthony and Garnett, otherwise even if they are at the peak of the conflict, they are also at the peak of the strength of the OK combination, will help each other.
A group of people were chattering, and suddenly one of the tallest players on the team came up with a sentence: "Third brother, do you want me to go out and buy you some ribbons and flowers?" ”
Gobert's words instantly attracted the attention of the other 12 teammates, and the gaze of 24 eyes made Gobert break out in a cold sweat...... But it can't be helped! In such a game, he, a pure physical center who is still strengthening his basic defensive position, will definitely not be able to play, which is already something he thought he could do.
You can't look at others to "show loyalty", he stares dryly!
……
……
At 7:40 p.m., the players of both teams entered!
With the halfway season coming to an end and All-Star Weekend just around the corner, Memphis fans are so enthusiastic about the game that they won't be able to see their team play for a little more than a week.
Moreover, this game, after Durant overtook Sun Ce to top the scoring list the night before yesterday, the hype became more and more popular, this game, Imperial Court Television, ESPN Asia, ESPN London, London Radio and Television, France Matisse Cable, ESPN, TNT...... Television stations in several world powers had planned to broadcast the match live or added it on an ad hoc basis.
There are more and more topics, and the ratings are expected to be very high, in North America alone, before the game started, ESPN has received more than 6 million live broadcast purchases, TNT is more than 8 million people to buy live broadcasts, and American cable TV and Columbia Broadcasting Television have more than 4 million live broadcast purchases, and it is expected that North America will break 20 million people to buy live broadcasts, which is just up to the playoffs popular series, and even, 03 05 years by the Spurs Finals live broadcast purchases, It's nowhere near as good as this game.
In addition to this, the number of people who pay to watch the live webcast is also very high!
Under such heat, fans are also very hot to discuss various topics, among which the contemporaries have teamed up to deal with the lord, which has become the hottest topic.
And Grizzlies fans naturally don't want Sun Ce to lose!
When the Thunder players came out, the scene was full of boos, and when it came to the home team's home court, Sun Ce, as the first starter to run out, enjoyed the cheers of the fans in the audience, and everyone was shouting his name.
After entering the stadium, Sun Ce saw his parents, two girls and a cub on the sidelines, and his teammates of the national team.
And Nash, Jordan Jr., Neil, Redno, Gasol Jr...... and other retired or active former teammates.
as well as Anthony, Rose, Antetokounmpo, Love...... Wait for the active players who don't play tonight.
After all the Grizzlies players played, when the big screen on the scene gave the camera to them, especially when it was given to Nash, Gasol Jr., Yao Ming and others, the scene resounded with cheers.
There are also some Hollywood stars that Sun Ce knows or doesn't know who has only heard of it and has not even heard of it, among which the Marvel superheroes led by Black Widow are very eye-catching.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1 box office is very good, there must be a sequel, and Sun Ce may not be included in the sequel, but Sun Ce's performance in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1 in just over two minutes is very recognized by fans.
Combined with Sun Ce's acting skills and dominance in the NBA, Marvel fans feel that Sun Ce is like the embodiment of Thanos in the real world!
Then next, Sun Ce will most likely become the spokesperson of Thanos in the Marvel series of stories, and the next movies that Thanos will appear in must be made by Sun Ce.
After that, they were all work partners, and when Lily Collins invited Scarlett Johansson to Gohan-chan's birthday party, Scarlett Johansson invited the actors who played Marvel superheroes, some Disney producers, and directors to come over.
And most of those producers and directors are looking at the face of Scarlett Johansson and Lily Collins.
In addition to these, some singers who like Sun Ce's songs and want to try to let Sun Ce write songs for them also came here.
Although Sun Ce missed the Grammy this year, this year's song has brought a very deep impression to those professional singers, even ten years later, they don't think that song will be outdated!
Opposite the entire technical table, the tickets for nearly 100 positions in the first few rows were all asked to leave by Sun Ce, which made Grizzlies owner Robert Pera feel painful!
However, when will so many celebrities come to watch the game in Mengcun?
Even the most unknown retired players of the Chinese national team in the United States have some Chinese fans who came to watch the game shouting their names.
In this popular game, the ticket prices in the first few rows have exceeded 10,000, 100 or hundreds of thousands of dollars...... Robert Pera looked at that group of celebrities, and although the flesh hurt, it felt worth it!
On the other side, the three young people in Goose Village looked at the group of people on the other side of the technology table, and they were all envious.
In terms of attention, Goose Village is not as good as Meng Village, because the Grizzlies have to rise first, and they have rushed to the top, which is not comparable to the momentum of the Thunder team's rise.
The first person of the same era, this title, quite weighty!
Usually, there are more or less singers, celebrities, and actors in the Grizzlies' home games to the scene, but the home court of the Thunder team may not have a few celebrities to watch the scene in a season, and they also go to the private room to watch.
Durant did not receive Sun Ce's invitation and invited him, and Black Widow Cliff would not attend this party.
But Westbrook had a good relationship with Sun Ce in private, and received an invitation, and he knew that most of these people came because of Sun Ce's son's birthday party tomorrow.
This face...... That's enough!
Not to mention, Sun Ce was frightened by this battle, he didn't care about Gohan's birthday party, mainly because his parents and the two girls didn't want him to be distracted by this matter, they were in charge of this matter, so that Sun Ce could focus on his work, that is, the basketball game.
Sun Ce only knew that Lily Collins went to charter a group of vacation villas, and he didn't expect that there would be so many people, and besides, there were a small number of players who had a game tonight who didn't come, and some artists who had an announcement today didn't come!
……
Russell Westbrook, Competency Evaluations-...... averaged 216 points, 103 rebounds, 123 assists, 16 steals and 04 blocks per game......
Kevin Durant, Ability Evaluation S...... Averaged 329 points, 53 boards, 23 assists, 1 steal and 13 blocks per game......
Serge Ibaka, Competency A+...... averaged 16 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 28 blocks per game......
Saab Sefrosa, Competency Evaluation B-...... Averaged 65 points and 17 steals per game...... Defensive Efficiency: 6th Guard......
Steven Adams, Competency Assessment C+...... Averaged 54 points and 44 rebounds per game...... 26 offensive rebounds per game and 18 defensive rebounds per game? ”
Looking at the evaluation of the Thunder team's starting ability, Sun Ce felt that the three young players of the Thunder team were really strong!
Especially the defense of Serge Ibaka before the big injury, great!
Although due to the poor record in the early stage, the Thunder team is unlikely to enter the top four in the West this year, but it is precisely because of this that the top four teams in the West are all big, and no one wants to meet this brother in the first round!
Sun Ce is the same.
There was little communication between the two teams before the game, and at 7:58, the referee signaled to inform the two teams to start the game.
On the Grizzlies' side, the starting lineup of Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Richard Jefferson, and Yi Jianlian appeared.
On the Thunder's side, the starting lineup of Westbrook, Sefrosa, Durant, Ibaka, and Adams came on.
Yi Jianlian and Adams came to the center circle to jump the ball.
Yi Jianlian worked hard to prepare for the jump ball, the handsome center opposite, although he was white, but he started in his rookie season with athleticism, relying on excellent bounce speed, more offensive rebounds than defensive rebounds, and he lost to the opposite side of the jump ball in the last encounter.
At 8 p.m., the battle of the world's basketball fans began with the referee blowing the whistle to start the game and throwing the ball into the air......
Yi Jianlian and Adams jumped at the same time, Yi Jianlian's jump height and arm span were slightly weaker than Adams, Yi Jianlian's 222 cm arm span, Adams's 224 cm, but Yi Jianlian's bullet speed was slightly faster!
Adams lost to Yi Jianlian by a millimeter, and the Grizzlies attacked first!
Ibaka and Adams may not necessarily win in the face of Yi Jianlian when jumping the ball, so the Thunder team was ready to retreat and did not give the Grizzlies a chance to start a fast attack, and Sun Ce was directly stuck by Durant.
Unlike the Grizzlies, whose defensive standards have plummeted this year, the Thunder defense is still online, conceding an average of 983 points per game, the sixth lowest in the league, only the Pacers, Bulls, Lakers, Bobcats, and Heat are lower than the Thunder conceding points per game, and the Spurs are conceding 985 points per game more than the Thunder.
Paul George advanced to the front court, encountered Sefrosa's defense, it was not easy to play, usually Sun Ce attracted the best defensive player of the opponent, even if he fell into a positional battle, Paul George still played like a fish in water, but tonight, the Thunder team has Durant to defend Sun Ce, and Paul George has to face the best players on the outside defense of the Thunder.
But Paul George can't move, and he is not in a hurry, waiting for Sun Ce to go to the low position!
Sun Ce came to the right low post to rely on Durant to ask for the ball, Richard Jefferson went to the left bottom corner, and Yi Jianlian went to Klay Thompson to block off the ball and find opportunities to shoot on both sides of the three-second zone or from the baseline, as well as three-point opportunities on the sideline.
Sun Ce leaned firmly on Durant, Paul George hoisted the ball in, and Durant couldn't complete the steal around the front.
This is the second time he and Durant have played each other after Sun Ce and James practiced, and there was not much reference last time, because of the big trade, the Grizzlies broke out on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and the Thunder were beaten before they could fight back.
This is the first time that the two have a good matchup, and Durant finds that his strength advantage in the face of Sun Ce is already very small! This surprised him!
On Sun Ce's side, the reason why he chose to play in the low post is because Durant is an A+ level strength and static confrontation, and he is not afraid of Sun Someone!
Sun Ce received the ball, slammed the ball to the right with his left hand, and turned right!
Turning around in the middle with a low back play on the right side, the opponent was too difficult to adapt, Durant was a beat slower, but at this time Adams directly took it back! Sun Ce faced the left side of the baseline, and Richard Jefferson cut in to catch the ball and wanted to dunk from behind Adams, but was fanned to the rebound by the chasing Ibaka!
Fortunately, Sun Ce reacted quickly to grab the ball and ran to the free throw line to hook his hand...... Hit!
