"The tenacious Rockets have once again assembled a three-star lineup and are very likely to be the host's first-round playoff rivals, and the B-level event: the team's all-time record meat grinder trigger."

Team Record Meat Grinder (B):

Goal 1: The host needs to help the team beat the opponent in the next game against the Rockets to tie the team's all-time opening streak;

Goal 2: In the next game against the Rockets, the host needs to complete at least two blocks on Carmelo Anthony;

Goal 3: In the upcoming game against the Rockets, the host must make at least 4 non-hook shots.

Event reward: Complete Goal 1 to avoid the penalty for failure, and on this basis, complete Goal 2 to reward a B-level lottery card; Complete Goal 3 on top of Goal 1 to reward Skill Card: King of the Triple Threat Level 1.

Failure Penalty: If Goal 1 is not completed, if the Rockets can make the playoffs, the host needs to help the team reach the top half of the playoffs and convince the team to deliberately select the Rockets as the first-round opponent, and if the failure penalty is not completed, a random B penalty will be applied. ”

Seeing the B-level event, Sun Ce knew that there was more than one goal for the event, but the name of the event had something to do with the description of the event and the reward of the event?

What is this failure punishment? Are playoff opponents so picky? Really, if they can only lose seven games before the All-Star Weekend like the Spurs, they can pick any opponent after the All-Star Weekend? The last Bulls team that could do it was 69 wins in '97! Even the Mavericks, who were blacked out in '07, lost 9 games before All-Star Weekend!

Also, is it possible for the Rockets to be a first-round opponent?

Sun Ce thought about it, it was really possible for him to step on a horse! In his memory, Maddy was traded, Yao Ming retired from injury, and even Ariza and Brooks left, and the Rockets were still able to play ninth in the West, and they had the best record outside of the playoffs, and sometimes even better than the seventh and eighth records in the East.

Now it's a big deal to get Billups and Al Jefferson back, and Anthony in his prime...... It doesn't seem like it's too hard to get into the playoffs......

Now some media and fans refer to their Grizzlies as a "playoff-stirring stick" with a headache to play.

But now Sun Ce feels that the Rockets are the ...... No, he feels that the Rockets are like barefoot people who are not afraid to wear shoes, the Lakers and the Mavericks, Sun Ce feels that even if the Rockets enter the playoffs, they will basically be in the first round even if they meet them; The Rockets were choked enough to meet the Thunder; It's hard to say that the Grizzlies played the Rockets in one game, and Sun Ce is confident in the series; Except for the Spurs, who have not been very stable at the beginning of the Spurs, the other four of the Rockets have no chance of winning in the Western Conference top five.

However, a team with such three stars, the overall strength of the Rockets is that kind of crazy toughness...... Not to mention picking the Rockets to play in the playoffs, if there is a record advantage, Sun Ce wants to avoid them even more.

However, the reward ...... Sun Ce really wants, the king of the three threats, looking at the name of this skill card, Sun Ce knows that it is a skill that has a bonus to the three threats play.

The mid-range shooting is getting better and better, and if you want to continue to develop the mid-range technique, the triple threat stance is undoubtedly the best choice while you are improving your mid-range shooting accuracy, back-to-back shooting proficiency and lateral jump mid-range shooting proficiency.

Who is the best player in the league with the triple threat today? Pierce and Anthony!

Win! Pitch in!

In the first three games, Sun Ce made a total of 7 mid-range shots, and there are still 157 short of getting Boss Qiao's skills, so you have to work harder!

As for Cap Anthony, Sun Ce felt that Anthony was discriminated against by the system...... Isn't Anthony hatted 16 times in four games since the beginning? As for returning an event?

……

The pre-game show was over, and Anthony, as the Rockets boss, came over to greet the visiting players.

In terms of personal charm, Anthony is very bigwig.

Anthony found Sun Ce first: "Hey, Noah, long time no see." ”

"Carmelo, I'm really happy to play you again." Sun Ce and Anthony hugged.

Anthony smiled: "I'm also very happy, I watched your game, your shooting has improved a lot, we can compete today." ”

"I've been watching your game to learn how to get a chance to shoot in the middle distance...... Sun Ce suddenly thought of the incident that was triggered just now, and immediately turned around: "But my mid-range shooting is not very good, I still prefer to attack under the basket, I feel that my attack under the basket is better." ”

Anthony looked Sun Ce up and down and said, "Noah, your feeling is right. ”

Seeing Anthony's eyes...... Sun Ce thought to himself, what do you mean?

Instead of continuing the conversation on the subject, Anthony went to say hello to the rest of the Grizzlies.

Sun Ce just wanted to lure Antonido to the basket, but the probability of this incident was not very high.

The Rockets now have Al Jefferson, Al Jefferson is not as easy to talk to as Yao Ming, and when he joined the Rockets, he asked for interior space, and he didn't want to compete with Love for interior space like he did when he was in the Timberwolves.

Al Jefferson has his eye on a superstar teammate, and in the big city of the Rockets, both the Jazz and the Bobcats offer him bigger contracts.

Soon, the pre-game preparation time was almost over, and after the head coaches of the two teams made the final tactical arrangements, Sun Ce came to the technical table to wipe some magnesium powder and came to the field with his starting teammates.

The Grizzlies still sent a starting lineup of dual point guards + Panda combo + Guy.

The Rockets fielded starting lineups with Billups, Wayne Ellington, Anthony, Kendrick Patterson, Al Jefferson.

The Rockets' starting ...... In the Yao Ming era, Anthony was the only one left, and Sun Ce was very emotional.

This starter is basically the "Big Three" with two weak chickens.

Sun Ce looked at Ellington, who he was going to defend tonight, the addition that the Timberwolves gave to tie the contract when they traded Al Jefferson, and his No. 28 pick in the same class, a shooting two-way guard with little athletic ability, was particularly poor defensively.

"Wayne Ellington, Ability Evaluation D+, Offensive C+, Defensive D-, Three-point A-, Mid-range D+, Layup B-......"

Sun Ce didn't know how to describe the ability evaluation of this impressive rookie of the same year, except for three points, it was useless.

Sun Ce's impression of Ellington is that he is very distinctive, he was almost out of football before 2014, and he also received a minimum base salary of 460,000 US dollars.

But after Adam Silva came to power in 14 years, he began to frantically encourage offense in the 14-15 season, changing the defensive rules to suppress the defense, Ellington played a very good performance for two years, that is, pure three-point shooting, in the case of an overall shooting rate of only 37 percent, 6 two seasons shot 39 percent three-point shooting rate, got a 3-year 20 million contract in the summer of 16, and even got an annual salary of 10 million in the summer of 19, which caused public opinion ridicule.

At this stage, Ellington can't play in the Timberwolves, but in the Rockets, it's quite good, it's useful to open up space, and the three-point shooting is really powerful, and he will average 2+ three-point shots per game for several years in the future.

"Carmelo Anthony, Ability Evaluation S-; Al Jefferson, A+ in Ability Assessment; Chauncey-Billups, Competency Assessment B; Kendrick Patterson, Competency Evaluation C......"

The strongest of the Rockets, of course, is Anthony, S- (peak) ability evaluation, S-level offensive ability, and the kind that dares to shoot, the scoring champion level, but the defense has declined again compared to last season, and there was a B level last season, and now it has been reduced to a B- level.

Looking at Anthony's "three-point A+, mid-range shot S, layup A+" shooting triplet, it is really different, like a bump.

However, Anthony's three-point shooting has improved a bit in the past summer, and the mid-range shooting has entered its heyday, so the layup evaluation can't break through the S-level, otherwise Sun Ce feels that another S+ offensive boss is about to appear.

……

At half-past five, the referee blew the whistle for the start of the game and threw the ball into the air.

Gasol Jr. and Al Jefferson, two floor-stream players, fought hard to jump......

Height is the most important thing, Gasol Jr. easily won the jump ball, and Sun Ce received the ball and advanced towards the frontcourt.

When advancing, Sun Ce found that it was Anthony who was guarding his forward path!

Anthony is fast and has excellent lateral movement, but there is no defensive motivation, but this is the most suitable one for the Rockets' starting outside defense Sun Ce, Adelman really can't help it, let Billups dare to sit in the low post to defend Sun Ce, Brooks was about to be beaten out of the psychological shadow by Sun Ce last season, Sun Ce at that time did not have very good low-post skills, and his body was much weaker than now, so he relied on his height to press Brooks.

Seeing that it was Anthony, Sun Ce was in good spirits! After the halfway line, it starts to accelerate slowly, and when it is close to the three-point line, the speed increases to the fastest!

Anthony made a gesture of reaching out and pulling, and then there was no more, Sun Ce went around from the right side of the top arc, and rushed straight to the inside from the middle!

At the same time, Gasol Jr. under the basket saw the situation in the direction of the top arc and quickly ran away from the low post, and was ready to rely on a height advantage of nearly 10 cm in the opening game to play high.

Al Jefferson was struggling to get stuck with Gasol Jr., but when he saw Gasol Jr. suddenly running away, he didn't know why, he just turned his head to see the situation in the direction of the top arc and then decided whether to follow Gasol Jr. out, and his eyes were dark in an instant!

Sun Ce rushed into the three-second zone and flew low, hung on Al Jefferson and smashed the ball into the basket!

Sun Ce was stunned when he landed, he understood how bad the Rockets' starting defense was, conceding an average of 104 points per game in the first four games, which was only reduced to 104 points after playing a low-scoring game with the Celtics, and conceding an average of 109 points per game in the first three games.

But no matter what, I didn't expect them to be so bad! And the opponent is so scummy from forward defense to inside defense!

Looking at Al Jefferson's wide-eyed expression, Sun Ce couldn't help it, Al Jefferson was still standing in the reasonable collision zone after Gasol Jr. pulled out, Sun Ce felt sorry for himself!
