But later, he was pressed down by Sun Ce again!

Just like the Thunder, who are only eighth in the West, and Westbrook has actually topped the MVP rankings twice in the past four weeks, after Sun Ce's data exploded, no one paid attention to them falling to fifth in the West.

Coach Hollins has been playing for so many years, as an assistant coach and head coach for a few years, and it is the first time he has encountered such a situation in decades of basketball life.

When the Spurs, Lakers, and Mavericks gradually came out of the quagmire, their Grizzlies played fewer games, the winning rate was even lower, and the coaching staff was anxious because of all kinds of unfavorable situations, they suddenly found that they could rely on data to cover up the record problem!

Before Coach Hollins entered the NBA, the era of Zhang Erwan and the Lord of the Rings had just ended, and at that time, Zhang Erwan took so many explosive data, but he was sprayed all the time.

Before Jordan won his first title, he was also considered a scoring brush, and champions like Magic and Big Bird were considered winners.

Take a look at this year's ...... Coach Hollins can only lament that the world is changing too fast!

But this kind of thing is a good thing for their Grizzlies, not so many people talk about their rankings, and reporters are also asking Sun Ce about a triple-double.

That is, the pressure is concentrated on Sun Ce's side, and others can take a breath, and now they need to make a lot of adjustments, such as the adjustment of the players' personal responsibilities because they can rotate and rotate multiple people before...... The pressure on the field is already big enough, and the pressure off the field is borne by the third brother, so as not to be crushed by the pressure.

Originally, as a member of the two-time championship team, it was already a huge pressure.

And in addition to that pressure, there's an extra one — they're a team in the West, and with a 10-5 record, they can tie with the 11-6 Bulls for second place in the East!

Fortunately, Coach Hollins doesn't have to worry about whether Sun Ce can withstand the pressure, this guy doesn't want to be interviewed, he won't go, and if he wants to tease reporters, he will toss it...... Coach Hollins feels he should be worried about the team's press officer, Chris Kyle.

This veteran employee who has worked in the team for more than ten years since the establishment of the team, has strong business ability, good ability to work under pressure, and will never abandon the Grizzlies even if other teams give him better treatment for more than ten years, and even the boss will take the initiative to say hello and show respect when he sees him.

After the first game month, Coach Hollins was ready to make drastic changes in the second game month in preparation for even bigger changes around All-Star Weekend.

But there are also a lot of troubles, things to worry about.

For example, Chris Wallace put forward this suggestion: "Lionar, we should make changes to Zach's regular season role, he has been tired in the past few years, we can moderately reduce his playing time in the early part of the season......"

Coach Hollins wants to do the same, but he has his concerns: "Zach is in a contract year and he definitely wants to perform well, and despite his weight issues and his pride in winning two championships, he's been trying his best, and it's the same in the first two games, so he has less minutes and he probably won't agree to continue to play less. ”

Chris Wallace said: "You don't have to worry about this, Robert and I are discussing Zach's contract with Bill Duffy, and we will agree to a new two-year contract with Zach as soon as possible. ”

This is really a direct solution to the current problem!

For Coach Hollins now, the record is actually not that important, and now their winning percentage, if converted to 82 games, can get 54 wins, and may not get such a record in the end.

However, for their current situation, it is enough to get 50+ wins, health first!

But if the team plans to renew the contract early, why hasn't it been officially reached? Coach Hollins believes that Randolph will definitely agree to an early contract extension immediately, and then lose weight and spend the regular season lazily......

Is it the team that is driving down Randolph's salary? This is also unlikely, that is the contract for next season and next season, since it is a two-year contract extension, this year's salary has been lowered to the luxury tax threshold, the 2016-2017 season is expected to rise by about 25 million salary cap, even if Randolph is given two years of maximum salary, they will pay luxury tax in the next two seasons, and it will expire in 2016.

Chris Wallace saw Coach Hollins' confusion, and smiled a little helplessly: "I discussed the renewal of the contract with Bill Duffy after the game on the 26th, and we talked for two days, and today we talked about it, we negotiated a 2-year contract extension of 26 million, but just after the game, Bill Duffy suddenly said that he wanted to raise the price to 30 million for 2 years." ”

"14 million a year? It's not unacceptable, is it? Although Zach is 32 years old, I believe he will play an important role in the playoffs for at least the next two years. Coach Hollins was even more puzzled.

Chris Wallace smiled bitterly: "Lionar, you wait for me to finish, in fact, I initially offered 28 million for two years, and 30 million for two years is our acceptable price, but after Bill Duffy discussed with Zack, Zach took the initiative to choose only 13 million per year, because he felt that he was dragging his feet in the early part of the season." ”

Confused, Coach Hollins asked, "Then why is it suddenly going back?" ”

Chris Wallace responded: "I was also confused, and before I could ask him, Bill Duffy offered to sign a gambling agreement with us!" ”

"VAM? Could it be ......?"

"That's right, that's what you think, next season and next season, if Zach can control his weight within 270 pounds, he can get 15 million a year salary, and for every 1 pound exceeded, he will get 100,000 less, and this part of the salary will be donated to Noah's pure public welfare children's charitable foundation."

"......" Coach Hollins was speechless for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Bill Duffy is really a conscientious businessman......"

……

……

"Noah! You say, is it a bad idea of yours? ”

"It's not me, don't talk nonsense, do you have evidence?"

"Who else could you have? Can a man come up with such an idea? ”

On the 29th, the first day of the Grizzlies' three rest days, most of them did not have training scheduled, only Randolph and Gasol Jr. had weight loss training.

Sun Ce took the initiative to practice, and he felt that his shooting on the left side of the three-second zone had improved a lot recently, mainly because the feeling of getting rid of the defense in the game was getting better and better!

The left and right hand shots felt the same, but the defenders defended differently, Sun Ce adapted to it for a month, and the left side shot began to find a feeling.

It's just that as soon as he arrived at the stadium, Sun Ce was "hunted down" by Randolph......
