Aldridge managed to escape from the center forward position, and before he had time to sing loudly, he returned to the center forward position at the end of last month.

Then today he was beaten by Gasol Jr., who had no choice but to top the main attack point.

But Aldridge doesn't care so much now, defensively desperate, offense with all his might, playing very hard, and having a deep hatred with the Grizzlies.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a deep hatred, the best games he played this season were robbed of the best of the week by Sun Ce, Aldridge is not a broad-minded person, and he has sprayed Pau Gasol for a long time before he entered the All-Star this year, and Sun Ce was hated for this matter.

And, for them, this game is important.

In the same way that the Lakers and Bulls want to play the Spurs in the second round, several other playoff teams want to play the Mavericks in the first round.

The record is that the Mavericks are the worst in the Western Conference Final Four, and the Mavericks have a good lineup...... But they've always had a good roster, but the last three years have been bloodied in the playoffs with a good regular season record.

That's what you can do when you pick an opponent, so of course you'd prefer to meet the Mavericks.

The whole Trail Blazers team worked hard, and when Sun Ce and Randolph did not break out, they were close to Gasol Jr. to support, and the Grizzlies did not continue to win after all.

82-89, in a defensive battle, the Grizzlies lost to the Trail Blazers at home.

Gasol Jr. had 26 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, Sun Ce and Randolph both scored only 11 points, and Sun Ce also had 14 rebounds and 4 assists and two blocks.

……

……

"Brother, how long are you going to go out this time?"

"I'll be back on the morning of the 15th."

"1, 2, 3, 4......" Zu Ge looked at the wall calendar and counted his fingers, "Brother is going out for six days again!" Remember to bring a gift to Juanjuan, don't forget! ”

"Yes yes yes ......"

Sending the ancestral goose into the school gate, Sun Ce started the engine and went to the airport to meet his teammates.

Losing to the Trail Blazers on the defensive end, Sun Ce knew why the Heat lost 77-81, the other party was too ruthless, Roy was dragging both knees like that, and he didn't care about the posture of his future career.

As the saying goes, those who are horizontal are afraid of their lives, and they used to do this with Sun Ce, but now they are horizontal and defeated once by their opponents.

To say that losing one or two games in the regular season is not a big deal, but for the current Grizzlies, it is a big blow.

61-16!

There are 5 games left, and the gap with the 64-14 Spurs has been widened again!

On the way to San Antonio, Sun Ce asked Conley next to him, "Mike, do you think we can surpass the Spurs?" ”

You can't ask the emotional Randolph, you can't ask Battier and sister-in-law, who can only comfort people, and you can't ask Yi Jianlian and Little Jordan, who have no opinions...... The most appropriate person to ask this question is, of course, a calm Conley.

Conley thought for a moment and replied: "Noah, you don't need to worry about this, if you think about it from the MVP perspective, it may have a little impact, but it doesn't have a big impact, you have been the best of the month for 3 times this season, and your performance last month has greatly improved your personal performance evaluation among the media and fans."

If you think about it from a playoff point of view, it doesn't matter if we take the first place or not. ”

The previous Sun Ce is acceptable, he really wants to win the regular season championship at this stage, because one of the events in the "Road to the Bear King" is to win the regular season championship.

From the perspective of regular season MVP, he was the best of the month last month, and the pressure has been much less, as long as his performance does not collapse this month, he is still the player with the highest probability of winning MVP, but the regular season ranking is not as important as before he won the third monthly award, because their record is not much worse than that of the Spurs, and compared with the Bulls with 56 wins and the Magic with 48 wins in the East, they have a considerable advantage.

Whether a condition is important or not is related to other conditions.

But what Conley said later, Sun Ce was a little strange, how could the first not be important?

Seeing Sun Ce's doubts, Conley was a little smug and said, "Noah, do you know why we didn't work so hard in the middle of the season, and we didn't take turns off so many games, but we didn't take turns after the All-Star Weekend?" ”

Seeing that Conley seemed to be showing off his IQ, Sun Ce endured it, he also wanted to know why, he hadn't thought about these things before, Conley mentioned this, he was really interested, and asked, "Why?" ”

"The coaching staff didn't say it, but according to my analysis, they want to play the Spurs in the second round, maybe the Spurs have been planning to do so since the beginning!"

"Huh?"

Sun Ce feels that this analysis is as unreliable as it is, but thinking about the fact that Coach Hollins, who only had more than 40 wins in the original time and space, dared to pick the Spurs as an opponent, this is really possible!

"But how can we play the Spurs in the second round? Even if they take the first place, the Spurs are unlikely to fall to fifth. Sun Ce voiced his doubts.

When the Spurs first started the rotation, the Grizzlies were five wins away from the Spurs, and the Lakers and Mavericks were seven to eight wins away.

"Didn't you notice that the Mavericks and the Lakers had a hard time fighting?

According to the trend in the first month after the All-Star Weekend, the Mavericks and Lakers are definitely trying hard to hit the first place, but we have more advantages, so our coaching staff wants to take advantage of the momentum of the Mavericks and Lakers to get the Spurs to the fifth place.

I guess the coaching staff has concluded that if the Spurs fall to second, the Spurs will definitely not want to stay in the top four and play against the Lakers, and the Spurs will not choose to go second and third, they will choose to fall to fifth. ”

Conley analyzed the smug expression on his face and showed a smug expression, educating the little bully, so happy!

It's just that Conley then showed a trace of regret: "It's a pity that the Spurs are cunning, they deliberately made a look that they didn't care about the record, lured our three teams to compete for the rankings, consumed our physical strength, and finally suddenly exerted their strength and maintained a gap with us, which is too hateful."

And at this stage, if it weren't for Paul's injury that gave our three teams of fans a sense of vigilance, so that the fans could accept our rotation to protect the players, we would not dare to rotate easily, and the fans wanted to fight for the first place more than us, and we would definitely be scolded by the fans without any premise......

Now that the Lakers and Mavericks have given up on the race for the first place, we are left to be pushed. ”

Sun Ce heard a gritted tooth in Conley's tone.

However, Sun Ce felt that Conley's analysis was so reasonable, and he thought about it carefully, isn't this their situation like this now!
