One Thousand Four Hundred and Eighteen. Champion Mentality
Some "records" cannot be "broken" from the beginning, such as the 50+ triple-doubles in the playoffs, which only Sun Ce has achieved.
There are also 40+ triple-doubles. In addition to Sun Ce's multiple times, the second-highest 40+ triple-doubles in the playoffs, Big O, only twice, and James only once.
No one will even compare Sun Ce with other players in these aspects.
In this regard, Sun Ce is no longer "breaking records", but writing records.
However, even if it cannot be "broken", it is a more pleasant thing for Sun Ce to create records that others cannot do.
Star experience cards, skills, strength... What is the purpose of hard training and hard completion of events to get rewards?
Just to win! Just to get more honors! Just to create records!
Anything related to basketball, the purpose is to win, it's that simple.
Therefore, Sun Ce uses star experience cards and other things when he should use them. Although he sometimes feels distressed after using them, he never hesitates when it is time to use them.
…
Sun Ce was so excited that he didn’t fall asleep until after 2 a.m., and in a villa in Miami, there was another person who didn’t sleep all night.
James didn’t sleep all night, got up at 4 a.m., drove to the beach, and ran along the coastline to greet the sunrise…
Self-blame, regret, pain…James has been filled with these emotions since he lost the game.
However, sometimes, you have to face the pain and the psychological shadow!
After running for more than an hour, when the sun rose, James stared blankly for a long time at the sunrise, watching the colorful clouds of the sunrise dye the clouds and the sea red with an unstoppable attitude. Suddenly, he figured something out.
Looking back to two years ago, when he was just swept by the Mavericks, he didn’t dare to recall what he had just experienced, and then he chose to forget that finals.
When things that he deliberately forgot were suddenly evoked by the Grizzlies with the same tactics and strategies, he would burst out with such strong negative emotions.
That’s why they missed the crucial ball. They should have narrowed the gap to 3 points at that time, but the opponent seized the opportunity to widen the gap to 8 points, allowing the opponent to win the game.
In other words, although Sun Ce and his teammates played a similar dominance to the Mavericks in 2011 last night, in fact, the Heat are not inferior to the Grizzlies.
Earlier, the Heat had untimely rotations. Chalmers made 0 of 3 three-pointers, but was not replaced in time. Lewis and James Jones also missed at least two consecutive shots, but were not replaced immediately. James Jones was okay, but Lewis was really useless if he couldn’t make a shot. On the contrary, there were side effects. His defense was like a sinkhole.
Last year, the Grizzlies didn’t let Lewis play in the playoffs. There was a reason. Lewis’s role in the playoffs was much lower than that in the regular season. It can be seen from the data that Lewis’ playoff data is not better than the regular season data.
Although these are role players, the Grizzlies made excellent personnel adjustments. Even Nash, Randolph, and Gasol were immediately replaced when they played poorly.
The same goes for talented young players such as Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Jimmy Butler.
Everything for the Grizzlies revolves around winning. They don't care about the face of anyone. When they reach the finals, the players don't actually care about face issues. Winning in the end is the most face-saving thing!
James was reminded of the playoffs he was most reluctant to recall in his career by the Grizzlies' strategy in last night's game, but after facing the shadow, he became aware!
Thinking more calmly and calmly about the shortcomings of last night's game...
...
...
"You guys are going out shopping again? Juanjuan, do you have any pocket money left?"
"Can't we go shopping if we run out of pocket money? We won't come to Miami in the next few months, and we won't have the chance if we don't go shopping.
I heard that a trendy brand store opened in the mall in Dade County, and Lily and I have made an appointment to go together to try on clothes and take pictures."
"You just take pictures but don't buy..."
"It's too stupid to wear those clothes out on weekdays, just take pictures."
A few minutes later, Lily Collins drove a rented car to go shopping with her son and Zu Gee, while Sun Ce and his teammates took the team bus to the American Airlines Center to prepare for tomorrow's game.
After last night's game, many media and fans believed that the Grizzlies could beat the Heat in 5 games. Since the finals schedule is 2-3-2, public opinion generally believes that tomorrow night's game will be the last time the Grizzlies play in Miami this season.
When they arrived at the American Airlines Center, the first thing Coach Hollins did was to emphasize that they should not be careless.
This is over-worrying. When playing against the Lakers, they were almost tied 2-2 by the Lakers. They almost went from a crushing advantage to being chased for two games in a row and entering the decisive battle. Sun Ce and his teammates have long been vigilant.
In addition, this is the third consecutive round of the series where the underdog defeated the overdog in the first game. It's not a big deal. I'm used to it.
It's hard to say what will happen in the future. People's thoughts will change, but at least in this season, in the finals, Sun Ce and his teammates are in a state of neither being arrogant nor discouraged.
This state may be difficult to have in the future, but it is the best to have it now.
This is really thanks to Kobe. Sun Ce felt the changes in the team during the Western Conference Finals and expressed his gratitude for the rumor that Kobe scolded the other Lakers players during training.
Sometimes the changes in emotions, mentality, fighting spirit, etc. come so suddenly and unpredictably.
The outside world is very excited, but Sun Ce and others have no time to pay attention to those.
In the second game, if they can win, they must do their best to win.
For the Grizzlies, the current 2-3-2 schedule is not too wonderful. There have always been teams complaining about the 2-3-2 schedule, because the team with a worse record in the middle has to play three home games in a row. If the team with a worse record grabs a home advantage in the first two games, it is very unfair to the team with a better record.
Of course, it is not so easy to grab a home advantage in the finals.
Sun Ce heard that the finals next season will be changed to a 2-2-1-1-1 schedule. At that time, the team with home advantage will have a greater advantage. Sun Ce feels that he has picked up a bargain in the team. When he meets the 70-win team, it happens to be the old schedule, and it is the last year...
After Coach Hollins emphasized that he should not be careless, he began to adjust the strategic direction in the tactical meeting.
After yesterday's game, Coach Hollins once again asked the coaching staff to work overtime and stay up late, combining the tactical strategy of using the 2011 Mavericks that Sun Ce thought of last night with his own team's lineup and playing style!
