1338. He and His Mindset (Part 5)

And, because of his appearance, these years have become even crazier.

This also makes Sun Ce like this era even more, full of opportunities and uncertainties, unsettling but fascinating......

……

The games on May 4 and May 5 were played, and all eight teams in the second round of the playoffs were released.

The Pacers didn't give the Nets a chance to steal seven, winning Game 6 99-93.

The Celtics were at the end of their rope and had no more gas to continue fighting, 78-113, slaughtered by the Heat by 35 points.

Sending Ray Allen and Rondo away in succession seemed like a foolish decision.

But in Sun Ce's opinion, the Celtics are ready to sell the team's soul, and in his cognition, Angie and Pat Riley are all the way, and even more ruthless.

Regarding the Celtics' choice, Sun Ce was noncommittal, anyway, he just didn't go there to play.

The Lakers and Thunder, Grizzlies and Spurs, Heat and Cavaliers, Bulls and Pacers four-group series, there are more to watch than the first round!

In the regular season between the Grizzlies and the Spurs, the Grizzlies were at the disadvantage, winning twice and Sun Ce exploded; The Thunder's youth army is getting stronger year by year, although Harden is sent away, but this year is definitely stronger than last year, in turn, the Lakers have also formed a lineup that is more suitable for Paul this year, and Kobe Bryant continued his peak performance through playing style adjustments; The four stars of the new generation, Hayward, Hibbert, Lance Stephenson, and Darren Collison, play against Rose, the leader of the new generation, and there are many things to watch.

However, since the Heat team advanced last night, Sun Ce saw that the most discussed on the Internet was actually the series between the Heat and the Cavaliers!

Another Cavaliers fan burned the James jersey at the bottom of the box.

Sun Ce once again temporarily shut down social media, put down his mobile phone and tablet, and stopped watching the news for the time being.

Since coming to San Antonio, they've been hard at work preparing for the second round against the Spurs, and now, it's time to play!

……

……

On May 6, the second round of the playoffs will kick off.

Tonight's series between the Heat and the Cavaliers was played first, and no one could have imagined that the Cavaliers would be able to rush all the way to the second round in the third year after James left.

Although it seems that the actual gap is very large, it seems that the Heat team is going to the championship this year, but the fans on the Internet support the Cavaliers one-sidedly, and James fans can't argue!

It doesn't affect the attention of other series, it's just that people like to join in the fun.

Relatively speaking, although the Eastern side has paid high attention due to a variety of factors, after the 76ers were eliminated in the first round, people felt that the Bulls and Heat had locked up the Eastern Conference finals.

And the western side is really a fairy fight!

Among them, what kind of performance Sun Ce will have in the face of the overly strong Spurs has become the most concerned thing.

In terms of talent, the Grizzlies are definitely stronger than the Spurs, and the Grizzlies have one of the best roster depths in the league.

But the Spurs picked up players that others didn't want, various first-round late players, and even second-round picks, all played the best team offense in the league, and the offensive efficiency of the role players was actually comparable to that of teams with a large number of high-quality role players, such as the Nuggets, Lakers, and Cavaliers.

Judging from the regular season encounters, the Grizzlies' clear advantage point is only Randolph, the run-and-bomb lineup can resist the offense, and it will not lose to the Spurs at critical moments, but the regular time depends on one person - Sun Ce!

The Spurs had a tough first quarter that no other team could match, and it was the Spurs' strongest point.

The Grizzlies use a team that is extremely stable on the defensive end, but the offense is generally average, and it is still Randolph who has recovered his form, and in the early part of the season, Sun Ce broke out from time to time, and the Grizzlies often played games with more than 80 points in a single game.

It is true that the Grizzlies, who are in a stable state, are a strong team in the traditional sense, but in the eyes of the media and fans, the key to the Grizzlies wanting to win the Spurs lies in the uncertain factor Sun Ce!

……

"This is my time(s):

Goal: Beat the Spurs in the 2012-2013 playoffs.

Event Reward: Skill Card: Demon Knife Unsheathed.

Defeat Penalty: Extended to the 2013-2014 season, the reward is relegated to the Ginobili 04-05 Season Star Experience Card, which permanently loses the opportunity to obtain the Manu Ginobili Trait Transformation Skill. ”

After a day of preparation, interviews, and so on, the much-anticipated series is about to begin.

After the warm-up, Sun Ce watched in the player tunnel the final event of "being the enemy of the strongest system" that the Spurs really triggered after they were promoted, and the event of gaining skills that was directly rated as an S-level event, and the pressure was really not small.

The combination of Curry + Harden, the two entered the playoffs for the first time together, and they broke out so fiercely that it can almost be said that they became famous in a series, making the media and fans sure that the two were not just regular season players, but in the last two games, after the Spurs found a way to deal with the Warriors, they pressed the two to death, and they had no chance to struggle.

This put Sun Ce under tremendous pressure.

But Sun Ce was actually ecstatic in his heart, to be able to play against such a team, as a player, it doesn't feel too good!

There's nothing more exciting for a professional athlete than playing against the strongest opponents.

Expectation, uneasiness...... is even a little impatient, this is Sun Ce's mood now.

At 7:40 p.m., the players of both teams entered.

……

Sun Ce is looking forward to the series with the Spurs, and the Grizzlies players are also looking forward to it, the regular season is so bad, they want to switch back in the playoffs.

On the Spurs' side, Duncan has also been looking forward to playing the Grizzlies in the playoffs.

As early as 5 years ago, after Duncan fell out for the first time without an injury, he revealed to the media that he wanted to retire, and he could not accept that he could not play dominantly in the game.

But after listening to Popovich's words, holding on for two years, waiting for the team system change to be completed, he accepted, and in the 2010-2011 season, although he was not even selected to the best team because of not playing enough time, he regained the league's strongest interior level dominance and regained the joy of basketball.

Duncan has long been the unshakable No. 1 forward in history, and his honor and record don't matter to him, of course, he doesn't refuse to win more championships, the best team or something.

But now Duncan cares more about whether he can play well and whether he can wrestle with the strongest opponent.

The opponent he was about to face was the one he was very excited about and eager to fight against.

Maybe in terms of regular strength, the Grizzlies are not as strong as the Lakers and Heat, but there is an opponent opposite Duncan who makes Duncan feel very excited - Sun Ce.

As the most powerful forward spanning the 90s, the first decade of the new century, and the second decade of the new century, Duncan is sincerely ecstatic that he can now compete with the best players of the new generation in the playoffs!
