One Thousand Eight Hundred and Forty-Three. It's Getting Better and Better
The most popular team at the moment is undoubtedly the Warriors, with an 18-game winning streak at the beginning. Curry has won the Western Conference Player of the Week for three consecutive weeks. People seem to have seen the Grizzlies last season!
It is the third time in 4 years that there has been at least 18 consecutive victories. This grand occasion is rare to see!
However, even though the Warriors performed so explosively, Curry performed so outstandingly and it is amazing that basketball can be played like this, further pushing the NBA into the three-point league, but Sun Ce's brilliance still cannot be covered up!
Comparing the Warriors at the beginning with how they played and how they won, and how the players shot, and the Grizzlies last season who were able to crush any team, this season's Grizzlies seem so real.
When the Grizzlies fall behind at halftime or even three quarters due to rest, due to trying lineup changes, etc., if Klay Thompson, Paul George, and Aldridge and Randolph take turns to play alternately, When his performance is average or even poor, Sun Ce can always stand up and prove his strength as the number one player in the league!
As the Grizzlies try to change their lineup, it is really difficult for other players except Sun Ce and Paul George to maintain their form. Paul George is the core organizer and the whole team builds tactics around Sun Ce. There is continuity in the playing time of these two players. ,Guaranteed.
But in order to integrate the new players, it is necessary to try more rotations. Carter and Yi Jianlian are used to unstable playing time, but Klay Thompson, Aldridge, and Randolph cannot. Before they have stable rotation time, These three brothers have been suffering.
This caused the Grizzlies' strength to fluctuate up and down. When they were in good shape, they were high. When they were in bad shape, they were so low that they were still behind by more than ten points at halftime or even in the third quarter.
Due to the direction of Paul George's development, his scoring is not as good as that of a super 3D player in his original time and space. He focuses on defense and organizing offense. He only scores when there is an open space and an excellent opportunity to cut or break through.
At this time, I pointed at Sun Ce. Fortunately, Sun Ce did it most of the time, and the Grizzlies were able to achieve a record of 15 wins and 2 losses.
In the past back-to-back games, Sun Ce's performance was particularly outstanding. He scored 27 points in the second half against the Timberwolves and defeated the opponent. In the back-to-back games against the Mavericks, Sun Ce used a physical potion and scored 21 points in the final quarter. He scored 20+ points in a single quarter for the 10th time in his career in the regular season. In the defensive battle, the Grizzlies scored 29-17 in the final quarter and made a strong comeback.
People were surprised to find that Sun Ce got better and better as he started with a strong performance!
Seeing that the Warriors continue their winning streak, Curry may surpass James and Sun Ce and become the first player in NBA history to win the Best of the Week for four consecutive weeks. However, Sun Ce's back-to-back 40+ points led the team to three games in the first three games of this week. Winning three consecutive victories is expected to interrupt Curry's consecutive best times of the week!
The key lies in the last game between the two teams this week!
By November 20th,
The Warriors narrowly defeated the Clippers 124 to 117 in overtime. Russell's rookie season high of 41 points in a single game and the 9 three-pointers in a single game that tied the records of Sun Ce and Curry became the backdrop. The Warriors won 19 Winning streak!
Curry scored 33 points tonight and steadily made 6 three-pointers. After this game, Curry's average data has increased to 29.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4 assists and 1.3 steals, and his shooting percentage has stabilized at 52+ The 180 club of 46+92!
In the Western Conference and even the entire league, in terms of player performance this season, Curry's overall performance combined with the team's record is undoubtedly the strongest. In the past week, it was only comparable to Sun Ce.
If you want to interrupt Curry's consecutive best times of the week, you can only rely on Sun Ce!
But after the Grizzlies played back-to-back, their next opponent was the Spurs, fourth in the Western Conference!
If Sun Ce wants to keep this thing that is not a record but will be mentioned when it comes to consecutive best times of the week, it is only possible to defeat the Spurs!
The game between the Grizzlies and the Spurs originally attracted a lot of attention. Since the new century, only two players have had the opportunity to win three consecutive MVPs. One is Sun Ce and the other is Duncan.
The two men played each other less than one game, and the fans were naturally very concerned about it.
Now, the game is getting even hotter!
…
In the hotel in San Antonio, Sun Ce didn't want to let himself be affected by public opinion, but he couldn't help but read the news.
Ending Curry's consecutive best-of-the-week record, and winning his second best-of-the-week in the first month, while maintaining the best of the month in the first month... Sun Ce naturally wants to do it!
Only by winning enough best times of the week, winning enough best times of the month, and surpassing others in personal performance can we have a chance to win three consecutive MVPs!
It is definitely impossible to say that he is not interested in three consecutive MVPs. Sun Ce is not only interested, but also extremely eager!
When the competitor is Curry, this desire becomes even stronger!
He currently averages 38 minutes per game, scoring 36.7 points, 11 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 3 blocks, and 2.7 steals. As he organizes offense with the ball less frequently, he makes fewer mistakes per game, a career low of 2.3, and commits too many fouls, averaging 3.6 per game. The field goal percentage was 52%, the three-point shooting percentage was 38%, and the free throw percentage was 87%...
In terms of individual performance, he and his teammates are more dazzling than Curry, but combined with the team's performance, they are slightly inferior to Curry.
According to Sun Ce's estimation, the Warriors are aiming for at least 70 wins this season, and the Grizzlies cannot do much to hinder them because they have only played against each other 4 times.
Then he has to suppress Curry in terms of personal performance, honors of the regular season month or week, and mutual confrontation, so that he has a chance to win the regular season MVP for three consecutive years.
This is difficult, very difficult. In the past three years, the two teams with at least 70 wins, the star players have won 5 monthly best players and more than 10 weekly best players... But if there is a chance, Sun Ce wants to try!
The record is not enough, personal performance will make up for it!
Since the beginning of the season, some media, experts or fans think that Sun is too tired, because his playing time has increased so much compared with last season, mainly because of the increase in playing time in the second half, unlike last season, when he could clock out in three quarters from time to time.
But for Sun Ce personally, those anxious games are too conducive to him integrating his strengthened low-post back-to-back into his playing style, and the progress is very smooth!
The stronger the strength, the more Sun Ce understands one thing, it is not that if you are good at high-post back-to-back, low-post back-to-back, breakthrough or pick-and-roll, you will be invincible, because there is only one offensive method in a position, and no matter how many offensive methods are used at the same time, they cannot be used at the same time.
The most important thing is to use the strongest offensive method as the biggest threat, then move the position to switch the playing style, find opportunities to create shooting opportunities and shoot.
In terms of switching the playing style, he has been doing better and better in these games where he has to fight to the end at critical moments.
Improving endurance is also very important. If he rests for 10 minutes in the first half, there is no problem in playing more than 20 minutes in the second half.
Upgrading the error difference to level 4 also makes him better in single defense. Sun Ce knows very well that it is not easy for him to make a little progress in some aspects other than shooting now, but it is good to have room for improvement.
In the case that he cannot focus on improving technology and shooting for many consecutive years like in the summer, accumulating more game experience and improving in actual combat are what he is experiencing and progressing smoothly now.
…
Sun Ce is bearing and enjoying the current burden, and his teammates are also grateful for this.
The old teammates are used to it. In the 13-14 season, the team was so difficult, and it was relying on Sun Ce to hold on, and finally played to the second round, and the defending champion did not appear in the first round.
New teammates David West and Mo Williams are two of them who are deeply touched. Mo Williams is okay. Although he is not as strong as the current Sun Ce, he has won the first place in the Eastern Conference and the regular season championship for two consecutive years.
David West is the most touched. He has also partnered with superstars. Paul's ability to ensure the team's lower limit is also very strong, but he can't do it to the extent of Sun Ce. Maybe it is really difficult for Sun Ce to do better than Paul if he leads a bad team, but it is just more difficult.
Paul can never stand up from time to time like Sun Ce to turn the tide and raise the team's upper limit.
On the basis of ensuring that the team's lower limit is not too much inferior to those superstars who are famous for ensuring the lower limit of the team's strength, Sun Ce is still a perfect championship puzzle like Kobe and Jordan!
Before the serious injury in the 07-08 season, Paul was once expected to impact the league's first player. At that time, he was only in the third grade and it seemed that he did have a chance.
But after David West and Sun Ce became teammates, they really realized that Paul was actually far behind at that time, otherwise he would not have been beaten in the direct confrontation with Kobe.
It was precisely because of Sun Ce that the teammates were very confident. Although they encountered difficulties in running-in, they worked hard patiently and without impatience.
From the perspective of running-in, David West actually integrated well. When Randolph or Aldridge took a rest, he played a strong supplementary role, ensuring the continuity of the team's power forward position. That is, he is not as good as Randolph in defending centers and Aldridge in defending power forwards, but it is enough. For a veteran of 1.5 million US dollars, it is already worth it to be able to do this.
Mo Williams is also okay, and he has clarified the positioning of the surprise soldier.
Sessions is a bit difficult. The only ones who can play pick-and-roll with him are Yi Jianlian, Sun Ce, and David West. Little Nance is indeed not good. His pick-and-roll is like Howard, and no one can stop him.
Gerald Green and Bargnani have more problems. The former is easy to solve. He can play when a shooter is needed and when running and gunning. The latter is really difficult.
But neither Coach Hollins nor the team management can make the decision to cut Bargnani. In the summer, a strong team gave Bargnani a mini-middle-class salary, but he was willing to join with a minimum salary... Fortunately, there is JaMychal Green, and Yi Jianlian has also performed well this year, and his three-point shooting has become more stable.
The game against the Spurs is about to start. Sun Ce wants to hit the best player of the week and the best player of the month. Coach Hollins and his teammates will naturally work hard!
