One Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty-Two. Has the Era of the New Generation Arrived?

47 points, 11 rebounds, 12 assists, 3 blocks, 2 steals, 4 turnovers, 4 fouls, Sun Ce used a brutal performance to help the team win the first game of the series without home advantage again!

Among them, 25 points in a single quarter set an NBA record!

This is a situation that has never happened in the history of the Grizzlies. Before the series with the Spurs this season, the Grizzlies had never won any of the first two games of the series without home advantage, let alone the first game.

And winning the first victory of the series without home advantage in two consecutive rounds is very rare in NBA history. When fans watched this game or saw this news, their first reaction was the 1995 playoffs, when Olajuwon, who entered the playoffs as the sixth in the West, won the first victory in two consecutive rounds in the Western Conference Finals and the Finals without a better record than the opponent, and won the championship!

Defending the title is difficult, and few teams can complete the defense, and the defending season has more or less decline.

The Grizzlies also lost several important members who won the championship last season. Fans and the media think that the Grizzlies are definitely the favorites to win the championship, and they may be able to win a championship every other year like the Spurs and keep it for several years.

It is true that the Grizzlies have encountered a lot of troubles this year, but the Grizzlies are getting better and better!

Especially Sun Ce, who has entered the stage of rapid growth this season, and his abilities in all aspects are rapidly improving, and far beyond everyone's imagination!

Lopez Jr. and Larry Sanders will definitely not play the role of Jordan Jr. last season; Nash and Randolph have more or less declined.

But the progress of Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Jimmy Butler has made up for a lot. With the progress of Sun Ce, the Grizzlies' strength this year is not inferior to last year, and it has even become stronger!

Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Jimmy Butler, this talented combination of outside players with outstanding talents makes fans of other teams jealous.

However, fans other than the fans of the four teams in the Eastern and Western Conference Finals really want to see what the Grizzlies will do this summer when Paul George's trading value is about to decrease and Klay Thompson and Jimmy Butler enter the offseason when their trading value is the highest.

There is definitely no way to keep them all. Jimmy Butler is okay. He is not that strong yet. Although his talent has been shown, he is relatively just a good substitute. It's just that the progress of this older rookie has surprised people.

But Paul George and Klay Thompson will definitely have a team to offer them the maximum salary when their contracts expire. There is no doubt about it.

After the regular season, some people may still think that the two may not reach the maximum salary level,

but in the playoffs, they gave Sun Ce strong support, and even sometimes when Sun Ce didn't play that well, the two could hold on.

Klay Thompson, who is excellent in single defense and top shooting in the league, and Little Maddie and Paul George, these two are definitely the objects of other teams' bidding this summer.

…

…

Just after defeating the Lakers, making the score 1-0 and taking away the home advantage, Sun Ce did not expect to be bombarded with public opinion that Klay Thompson and Paul George both have the talent to get the maximum salary.

Sun Ce estimated that it was definitely done by the media on the Lakers side! They wanted to divide them.

This is normal. When they met the Lakers in the 2011 playoffs, they also asked the media to publicize the scene of Bynum laughing when Gasol was dunked by Griffin.

This is a means to create pressure on the opponent off the court.

If their mentality is not strong enough and their beliefs are not firm enough, they may be affected.

But before playing against the Spurs, Sun Ce's speech had a very good effect. The recording door incident occurred, and Battier's speech also temporarily suppressed the potential contradictions. The key is that the Grizzlies' several perimeter players who entered the NBA at the same time have a good relationship, and now they are in a stage of healthy competition.

In addition, such public opinion offensives are drowned out in a few seconds, and only Sun Ce's 47+ triple-double can enter the ranks of hot news.

Sun Ce got his 12th career playoff triple-double, surpassing Kidd and second only to Magic Johnson's 30 times, and continued to suppress James who got 10 playoff triple-doubles.

As for other news, fans were very enthusiastic when they first came out, such as the trade of Paul George and Leonard, which was thrown out by Sports Illustrated.

But at present, the Clippers' recording door incident is the hottest news, and the true and false details and stories that were subsequently revealed have once again attracted the attention of fans.

Racial remarks are a matter of considerable concern in the United States. They have spread from the sports world to the political world. Washington is putting pressure on the NBA officials to deal with this matter as soon as possible.

Compared with American football, Major League Baseball, and ice hockey, the NBA is the face of the American sports league in the world.

Sun Ce looked at the public opinion bombardment suppressed by the recording door, and he didn't expect that this matter would have such benefits for their Grizzlies.

After playing the first game of the Western Conference Finals last night, their series got two days of rest, and the second game will be played the day after tomorrow, which is the 25th.

There was no training this morning, so we rested for the whole morning. In the afternoon, the coaching staff convened the players and discussed the problems encountered in the first game.

No matter how thrilling the first game was, winning was a huge advantage!

What we need now is to seize this advantage. We must continue to charge in the second game. If we can win, we will win. If we can't win, it doesn't matter. We should keep a good mentality. The home advantage is already in hand. We can go all out in the second game. We can try any tricks. If it works, it will be good. If it doesn't, it can also bring experience to the next two home games, and we will know what can be changed and what can't be changed.

…

After an afternoon of discussion, in the evening, Sun Ce watched the second game of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Heat and the Bulls.

Sun Ce felt that the Heat was really a magical team. They won the first game so hard and won at the critical moment. Their morale should have been greatly boosted, because the Bulls played so well in the first game, and they won.

But just like the Heat played against the Celtics in the first round, they defeated the opponent's most fierce offensive in the first game, and lost again in the second game!

107 to 115, the Heat lost the second game of the series, and the score was tied 1 to 1 by the Bulls!

James scored 37 points and 11 rebounds on 14 of 20 shots tonight, but only had 3 assists and tied his career-high 10 turnovers, getting an alternative triple-double!

Compared with the Grizzlies defeating the Lakers, the Bulls' victory over the Heat received more attention. Of course, there was also the influence of the Grizzlies taking the initiative.

If the Grizzlies had made it to the finals for two consecutive years, and the Bulls had made it to the finals this time, the fans would feel that the Mesozoic players were too miserable!

Paul, James, Bosh, Wade, except for Wade, the other superstars have not touched the championship trophy yet, and the finals have been dominated by the new generation of players!
