Sun Ce really didn't feel what it meant to be "unmatched" before, even if he played last season's Suns, he won one game in the regular season and the playoffs.

This time, the Spurs can be regarded as teaching Sun Ce a lesson.

The NBA Zhang Yining team really lives up to its reputation.

After tossing himself to exhaustion and completing the Nash training method, Sun Ce returned to his room and took a shower and slept.

The game has to be played one by one, and the days ahead are still long, so Sun Ce will put things related to the Spurs down for the time being.

No matter how much you want to play, it's better to have more experience than a few more fights!

……

When Sun Ce's heart was asleep, the coaching staff was still studying and the Spurs.

In Coach Hollins' room, there was a group of big guys.

After the fiasco, the Grizzlies coaching staff calmed down and thought and discussed for a long time, and had a clearer direction for the goals of the season.

"I'm convinced we're in the top four in the West, and we're definitely in the top four with the Spurs and the Mavericks, I'm sure of that." Coach Hollins said to the assistant coaches.

"Yes," assistant defensive coach Joggle responded, "the problem now is our playoff standings, we have the strength of the top four, but there is a possibility that we will fall to fifth because of the relationship between the Spurs and the Mavericks, we have lost Rudy, and now there is only one strong point on the outside, and he is too young, we have to take that into account." ”

"That's right," Coach Hollins agrees with Joegel, "we need to make a decision in the second half of the playoffs, and if we have the chance, we must avoid the Spurs and Mavericks in the first round, and my plan is to try to fight for the top three ...... in the West before the star weekend."

Unlike in the original time and space, after Guy was reimbursed in the original time and space, the Grizzlies had no outside core, and Conley was difficult to take on the heavy responsibility, although the defense was good, but the regular season record was up and down, and it was basically determined to be the team in the bottom half of the playoffs from the beginning of Guy's reimbursement.

But in this time and space, the Grizzlies have the strength to win the top four, why don't the top four have to be hard steel without home-court advantage in the first round?

After a pause, Coach Hollins continued: "Fourth in the West...... It's a bad standing, so it's bound to be a first-round game against either the Spurs or the Mavericks.

So if we go to the top three, or we go to the fifth, we have to be the fourth, and if we go to the fifth, they should try to get the top three and avoid us......"

Since the Nuggets and Trail Blazers are competing for the first place in the Northwest Division, there must be a team that is in the top four in the West, so if they enter the top four, Coach Hollins aims to have a better record than the first place in the Northwest Division.

The general goal of the celebrity weekend has been set, and now there is still a question ahead.

"We have some initiative, but who is our ideal opponent in the second round?" ”

This question...... Coach Hollins' head was buzzing again.

Lake Horse Cattle ...... When he helped the Grizzlies reach the playoffs as an assistant coach to Hubby Brown, the Spurs and Mavericks met and were swept.

Lakers...... Before getting Sun Ce, they faced the Lakers with a dozen consecutive losses in the regular season......

Coach Hollins was depressed, why is it that after more than ten years, their Grizzlies have become stronger, and the Humma Bulls are still there?

Or Kobe, Nowitzki, Duncan!

After thinking patiently for a moment, Coach Hollins thought of the three towers of the Lakers and Mavericks...... They Grizzlies have an interior advantage against most teams, facing these two teams......

Coach Hollins thought that if he made the playoffs as the top three in the West, the first round would be fine, and after the first round, he would definitely meet one of the Lakers and Bulls, and he believed that the Mavericks who introduced Yao Ming, the Spurs who were strong again against the trend, and the Lakers, who won two consecutive championships, would definitely enter the second round and definitely have to play against one of these three teams......

After thinking about it for a while, Coach Hollins came to a terrifying conclusion...... It seems like......

Coach Hollins was skeptical of his own thoughts in the face of Bickerstaff Jr.'s question, and asked uncertainly: "Spurs in the second round?" ”

When Coach Hollins asked, everyone in the room was stunned.

Just lost to the Spurs by 29 points, and picked the Spurs to play in the playoffs?

It's born to be strong!

But after thinking about it...... As if this was the only way out of the second round!

There is only one thought for all - "the West is terrible"!

Sensing the wildness of the West, Coach Hollins gritted his teeth and said: "Take your time, there is still a long time in the regular season, let's first observe how their strength changes this year...... David, study the Spurs' offense more and analyze their tactics! ”

Hearing this, as the team's offensive assistant coach, David Fitzdale felt so stressed!

But...... It's also a responsibility!

……

……

The Spurs' slaughter of the Grizzlies caused an uproar, and the Grizzlies, who conceded the lowest points per game this season, scored 131 points per game to set a new season high......

The Spurs are completely on fire!

Comparatively speaking, the strength of the Grizzlies has been greatly questioned.

It's a mixed bag for the Grizzlies.

The disadvantage is that when they see the news, they get angry, and they all praise the Spurs and look down on them.

But this understated state is actually a good thing for the Grizzlies.

From the start of the new season to the loss to the Spurs, the Grizzlies have been the first in the league for nearly a month, and the limelight is too strong.

As the saying goes, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, and the Grizzlies coaching staff thinks that the Spurs should bear this kind of limelight.

The more the Spurs are targeted, the better it will be for them to study the Spurs.

At noon on the 25th, Sun Ce returned to Memphis with the team, plus today, there are two days of rest, followed by back-to-back home games against the Jazz and Spurs, and then on the 30th against the Thunder, the first game month is over.

Putting aside the huge psychological gap in the loss to the Spurs, the Grizzlies are actually in good shape at the moment.

With 12 wins and 2 losses, who would have thought before the season that the opening game at the end of October and 12 wins in 16 games in November would have exceeded expectations.

Now even if the remaining three games are rested and lost, there are 12 wins and 5 losses.

The Mavericks, who are currently fifth in the West, are 9-5, and the Mavericks count the first game month including the opener at the end of last month, which is also 17 games, even if the Mavericks win three games left and the Grizzlies lose, the Grizzlies are still third in the West after the first game month, because when they played directly against the Mavericks, the Grizzlies won!

The Nuggets, who are currently fourth, are only 8-5, and the Trail Blazers, who are sixth, are only 8-6.

Before leaving the stadium, Coach Hollins analyzed a wave of players for a while, including Sun Ce, who felt as if the world had not collapsed, but as if it had ...... And a little wonderful!

After returning to the apartment, Sun Ce went straight to the study and took out "Blocking and Demolition Tactics" to study it carefully.

Now I am mainly studying the off-ball blocking and dismantling piece, and there are two goals.

The first is, of course, to strengthen one's own strength.

The team has two organizational points, Conley and Gasol Jr., the former passes the ball steadily, and the latter does not lose to his brother in high position, his brother only averaged 2.6 assists per game in the first four seasons of his career, Gasol Jr. averaged 10.4 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game this season, and the first time Gasol Jr. averaged more than 3 assists per game in his fifth season, averaging 4.6 assists per game.

Gasol Jr. must have a very obvious gap in strength from the fifth season, but now Gasol Jr. is already a master of strategy that does not lose to Gasol Jr. during his rookie contract, and Sun Ce needs to take advantage of this to strengthen his individual attack.

The use of off-ball blocking and pick-and-roll will definitely be very helpful for his mid-range shooting.

After playing 14 games, Sun Ce took a look at his learning board, the skill of Boss Qiao, the goal is to throw 164 mid-range shots, and now he has only shot 24......

The main thing is chance!

Just as a three-point shooter needs a shooting opportunity, Sun Ce also needs a chance.

Most of his shots with the ball are still based on baseline hooks and free throw line hooks, and it is imperative to increase the number of off-ball blocks.

Also, in preparation for the next game of the back-to-back game against the Spurs, it is always a good thing to study more off-ball blocking.

Sun Ce felt the change in his own thinking, and he did not have the complacent mood of winning 11 consecutive games in the opening game...... Although it may not be so obvious, he obviously had that kind of emotion before, and he felt that this time he had failed miserably...... Not a bad thing either!
