One Thousand Eight Hundred and Eighty-Five. This May Be the Last Fight

Duncan originally just wanted to play the last season quietly, and if he could win the championship, he would win, and if he couldn't, it would be fine.

But his girlfriend Vanessa had some deviations from his ideas, but it was not intentional, but she misunderstood him now.

Although Duncan is the godfather of NBA fashion, and is regarded as a spiritual leader by fashion gurus outside the mainstream around the world, he is also used to popping up from time to time and is very active, but fundamentally, he is still a stuffy man.

He wants to be low-key, and likes the feeling that others will still talk about him even if he is low-key, but he has not really been low-key since 2010.

Therefore, Duncan's girlfriend Vanessa Macias had some misunderstandings about Duncan, but after a discussion on the origin of life, she heard Duncan say that he would not play after this year. Vanessa revealed the news that Duncan was preparing to retire in an interview with the media before the start of this season.

This...doesn't affect the relationship between Duncan and Vanessa. On the contrary, from the bottom of his heart, he was very happy that some opponents played a short film paying tribute to him when he went to a certain city to play for the last time this season.

Especially for him who had originally missed the All-Star Game, how could he not be happy when he was selected by fans to be the All-Star starter in the season when he was preparing to retire.

Sun Ce had no intention of stealing the limelight this time. He had won the All-Star MVP three times in a row, so it was time for him to move out of the pit. He also had a good relationship with Duncan. James, Kobe, Curry and others also discussed with Sun Ce to help Duncan win the All-Star MVP to end his All-Star journey. Sun Ce was of course happy to do so.

However, facts have proved that there will always be various problems when helping others win awards. For example, they want to help Duncan, but it depends on whether the other party is willing or not.

In the arena, no one wants to lose! The West wants to help Duncan win the MVP based on Duncan's strength. If Duncan is only capable of playing a supporting role, there is no need to help. The reason for choosing to help is that Duncan is still ranked in the top five in the league in terms of efficiency this season, because only by winning can you win the All-Star MVP, and you can't get it if you lose.

The Eastern All-Stars also want to win, and it doesn't matter who wins the All-Star MVP. They just can't stand the Western All-Stars who seem to have a sure win, as if the Western All-Stars can help Duncan win the MVP if they want to.

The Eastern All-Stars, led by Griffin, Rose, and Evans, have exploded with super strength!

Although the Western All-Stars are more and more focused and show super strength, Sun Ce and Curry also joined hands to score 5 three-pointers at the beginning of the fourth quarter to tie the score, but they are still no match for the Eastern All-Stars who have not won the All-Star Game for several years.

In the end, led by Griffin with 41 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, Evans with 27 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, Rose with 25 points and 4 assists, and Gasol with 13 points, 7 rebounds, 3 blocks and 3 steals, the East team defeated the West team 161 to 152. After many years, the East team finally won an All-Star Game.

Griffin and Evans won the All-Star MVP trophy together.

The West team was very regretful, but there was nothing they could do.

Duncan was also a little helpless, but he and his teammates tried their best. He played 35 minutes tonight and got 29 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks. He really couldn't do more.

Duncan was quite open-minded about this. He would take it if he could get it, and forget it if he couldn't. He also felt the respect of the young players for him, which was the most important thing. He could see that everyone really wanted to help him, but this kind of thing always seemed to end in failure...

The head coach of the Western Conference team was quite happy because he let Duncan play for 35 minutes. This was another strong opponent for the Warriors to win the championship. It was always good to consume more time. And no one else could see it because it was voluntary...

...

...

On the morning of February 20, Sun Ce, Paul George and Aldridge took the chartered flight sent by the boss back to Memphis.

For Sun Ce, overall, this All-Star weekend was very leisurely. He only dunked twice in the dunk contest and played only 22 minutes in the All-Star Game. He mainly focused on chasing points in the fourth quarter and scored 19 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block and 1 steal.

This was the first time in recent years that the All-Star weekend was so relaxing.

Sun Ce found that the league's intervention in the pre-game performance of the All-Star Game was good for players like them. They didn't need to tinker with it anymore. Although they had experience, they were not professionals after all, and would waste a lot more time than professionals helping.

It was even simpler for him, Sun, who only needed to sing a song.

There was still one day of rest after returning to Memphis, so the team did not arrange training on the 20th. Tomorrow, that is, the 21st, they will prepare for the home game against the Spurs on the 22nd.

The Grizzlies played against the Bulls and Spurs before and after the All-Star Weekend, and the treatment they received was good enough.

After being away for several days, Sun Ce returned home with a Zu Ge sitting on his left, Lily Collins on his right, and Xiao Fang, the village flower of Mengcun, sitting on his lap. He was so happy.

These days, Sun Ce didn't pay much attention to the news about other teams. Zu Ge chirped about some actions of each team during the All-Star Weekend.

Although the All-Star Weekend is the most important event during the All-Star holiday, it does not hinder the operations of various teams. On the contrary, because the All-Star Weekend attracts attention, some teams want to try to make big deals, but not many people pay attention to this kind of thing, so success or failure will reduce a lot of impact.

This year was obviously a failure. There were no particularly big trades, mostly small-scale trades of role players.

However, most of the trades were made by teams on the edge of the playoffs. Some teams even got really good role players from some bottom teams. On the contrary, several strong teams did not make any moves at this time.

The Warriors, Spurs, and Lakers did not make any trades and remained as they were. Even the Bulls, who completed a big trade before the All-Star Weekend, did not make any further moves until the trade deadline. There were obviously some veterans who wanted to join the strong teams, but these teams did not make any moves.

The Grizzlies did make some moves, wanting to use Gerald Green and Bargnani, and they almost traded for Capela, but the Trail Blazers wanted another player, but they did not reveal who it was, and the Grizzlies refused.

It can be expected that this must be one of the main players, but it certainly could not be one of the five starters and Randolph. Sun Ce estimated that one of Yi Jianlian, Tony Allen, and Carter attracted the Trail Blazers, but for some reasons, the team did not get Capela back in the end.

Sun Ce had a little regret, but he was not surprised by the team's operation. He wanted to trade for Capela because he wanted to have an extra option in the interior, but this would affect the team's current style of play. If Capela is brought back, he will naturally have to formulate a tactic with such a pure center who eats cakes. This is fine, but if one of the nine core players is sacrificed for this, it will not be worth the loss.

Having won the championship three times, Sun Ce knows the importance of a stable core lineup! The Grizzlies' current record is not bad, and they don't need to send out core players to trade back a second center.

On the Warriors side, head coach Steve Kerr and chief assistant Luke Walton are both retired players who won championships during their playing days and are famous for their outstanding basketball IQ. Naturally, they understand this. The Warriors are now ranked first in the league. Although there may be players who look better, they have not traded to avoid breaking the perfect chemical reaction.

The Spurs are similar to the Warriors. They changed so many people last summer and finally got along well to avoid more complications.

The Lakers don't want to add a new long-term contract, so they are waiting for Hibbert's contract to expire.

As for the Bulls, although Sloan has never won a championship, he has never eaten pork. He has been defeated so many times by the Lakers, Bulls, and Grizzlies, the champions of the season, so he has some experience.

There are only more than 20 games left in the regular season. This is a new change after further adjusting the schedule. The league will put more games before the All-Star Weekend. Unlike last season, the rest time before the All-Star Weekend was increased. The adaptation period after the All-Star Weekend was directly cut. Once the All-Star Weekend is over, it will immediately enter the fierce competition stage at the end of the season.

Sun Ce has been prepared for this. He guessed that his team and other top championship favorites did not take advantage of this time to get high-quality role players, and there are also reasons in this regard.

However, the team did not talk to Sun Ce specifically because there was no substantive transaction and there was no need to talk. Talking might affect Sun Ce, which Sun Ce also understood.

…

After a night of tenderness, at about 6 a.m. on February 21, Sun Ce gently pushed away Lily Collins's big white legs that were pressing on him, then gently put them down, covered him with a blanket, and got up. Today, he had to prepare for the game against the Spurs.

As soon as Sun Ce left, Lily Collins woke up.

There have been some rumors recently... Anyway, Lily Collins believed them!

According to gossip media, the child born to Abby Hornacek, the daughter of the Suns coach, in December 2014 is an Asian boy. The photos have been exposed. During a physical examination in winter, the nurse took a photo of the child. Between the eyebrows... It is impossible to tell who he looks like. It is impossible to tell who he looks like at over one year old. It can only be seen that he is Asian.

However, gossip media love to make up stories. Since Suns coach Hornacek has always been unfriendly to Sun Ce, Arizona gossip media began to speculate that Hornacek's grandson, who is obviously an Asian boy, may be Sun Ce's child. Sun Ce refused to admit it. The father and grandfather were embarrassed to speak out, so they tried to target Sun Ce. However, since he is the child's grandfather and Abby's father, he cannot really target Sun Ce. He can only try to make Sun Ce unhappy during the fight...

Lily Collins saw these gossip news, she highly recognized the authenticity of these gossip news, but she did not get angry. She knew that it was impossible to control Sun Ce to death, and compared with other NBA players, Sun Ce was so obedient!

Just like the closest stamp collecting brother among Sun Ce's group of "friends", the two of them have "experienced" women of all 12 zodiac signs, various blood types, various skin colors, and various... all kinds of women, but this did not lead Sun Ce astray. Sun Ce is still the "good man" who would call the police station to escort him home even in the early morning if he could go home.

But this situation occasionally happens, and Lily Collins is not surprised. Although she reminded Sun Ce to take safety measures to avoid life-threatening situations, there are definitely times when she fails.

In this regard, Lily Collins did not make a fuss without suspicion. First of all, it is not certain. It is just gossip news. In the NBA, this kind of gossip news can't even make a splash unless she makes a fuss.

But she is not that kind of character. Things have already happened. She has to find a way to prevent this situation from happening again in the future, or at least avoid it with a high probability.

After thinking for a while, Lily Collins made a decision.

Guessing that Sun Ce had eaten the breakfast made by his mother and went to the stadium, Lily Collins got up and went to Zu's room, got into Zu's bed, and after waking Zu, the two began to discuss something...

...

...

This is the last regular season match against the Spurs this season, and it is also the last chance to directly understand the Spurs.

In the previous three matches, the Grizzlies had 2 wins and 1 loss. In terms of the match, the Grizzlies have no pressure, and even a tie will not affect their confidence in the playoffs.

Since winning the championship last season, the mentality of Sun Ce and other core players of the team has changed again, or to be more precise, it has improved. They are more confident, and they treat different times and types of games. In addition to the desire to win the game, they also have a clearer understanding of the purpose to be achieved in these games.

However, there is one thing that Sun Ce and the coaching staff understand very well. This year, the Spurs will definitely fight for the championship. The luxury tax has been paid and so many high-quality role players have been signed, just to fight hard for the last season before Duncan retires.

As for Duncan, he will definitely try his best to squeeze out the last drop of oil in the playoffs. Who doesn't want to retire gloriously with a championship?

The one-day preparation time passed quickly, and on February 22, the game day between the Grizzlies and the Spurs arrived.

In the evening, there were obviously more older fans in the Grizzlies' stadium, obviously coming for Duncan. Most people regarded Duncan as a respectable opponent. Of course, there must be Duncan's fans.

After the pre-match warm-up preparations, Sun Ce and his teammates entered the stadium together.

Tonight's game was quite special. After the players of the two teams entered the field, the cheerleaders started to cheer, which disappointed the fashion godfather who had been staring at the legs of the college girls, but his expression did not change. No one knew what he was looking at just now, and thought he was distracted.

Some people were curious about what the cheerleaders were going to do when they ended the performance early, but most people already knew it.

The lights on the scene dimmed, and the big screen began to play Duncan's highlights, mainly the Grizzlies. Of course, at this time, the scenes of Duncan being dunked by Sun Ce were not played, but the scenes of Duncan's good performance and the Grizzlies' good performance were played, mostly offensive shots.

Tonight's game may be the last time Duncan plays at the Grizzlies' home court in his career. After all, things like the playoffs are unpredictable. So, like most teams, the Grizzlies also chose to pay tribute to Duncan in the last regular season match against the Spurs this season.

Although Duncan did not have the honor of Kobe's "retirement tour" in the original time and space, he has been paid tribute to more than ten times. Despite this, seeing the Grizzlies pay tribute before the game, tears welled up in his eyes.

Since Sun Ce entered the NBA, the Spurs have played against the Grizzlies several times in the playoffs, with mixed wins and losses... In the year of retirement, Duncan still thinks that Sun Ce is the strongest opponent!

In the past few years, Duncan only regarded the Grizzlies as a meteor-like opponent in his career. He did not target Sun Ce. He felt that Sun Ce would definitely become stronger and stronger. He just had such an opinion on the Grizzlies because, except for his Spurs, no other small-market team has been strong for more than a decade. The only small-market team that won the championship was the Pistons, and Detroit, where the Pistons are located, only began to decline in the 1990s. Before that, it was the richest city in the central and northern United States.

But now, it is completely different. The Grizzlies, who have won three championships in four years, have become one of the three strongest teams since the new century. After the Grizzlies won the championship last season, the Grizzlies have become one of the three strongest teams in the new century. The other two teams are the Spurs and the Lakers.

If Duncan's career is divided into three peak periods, then in the last peak period, the strongest opponent in Duncan's mind is the Grizzlies. When he played against the Grizzlies and Sun Ce for the last time in his regular season, he was saluted by the Grizzlies, and his eyes were inevitably red.

After the tribute, the players of the two teams greeted each other. Although they knew that the other team might be the strongest opponent in the playoffs, the atmosphere between the two teams was much more harmonious this time.

The game must be a fight to the death, but outside the game, everyone understands that once Duncan retires, the Spurs will definitely undergo earth-shaking changes, and it is inevitable that their strength will plummet.

Compared with the current fans who blindly believe in the "Spurs system", the players know better than anyone that the stars are the most important, even the Spurs' own players.

After the greetings, the players of the two teams returned to their benches for the final pre-match preparations.

On Sun Ce's side, after listening to Coach Hollins' re-emphasis on the strategic plan, he went on the court to shoot and warm up his hands. The next detailed arrangement was to tell others to let others cooperate with his Sun's changes in playing style.

This is very demanding for the Grizzlies players, and it is also the most difficult point for the Grizzlies to run in in the early season-no one knows when Sun Ce will suddenly want to make things happen, but teammates must keep up with Sun Ce's pace and not drag their feet.

The old players are used to it, but the newcomers did find it difficult to fit in. Fortunately, so far in the season, except for Gerald Green and Bargnani, everyone else has no major problems. Even if there are problems, at this stage of the season, the third man at each position will not have that much playing time, and the main players will play longer to prepare for the playoffs.

It was time for the two teams' starting lineups to play. Sun Ce came to the technical desk and was about to apply magnesium powder when suddenly, the system prompt came!

"Inheritance? What kind of inheritance can I, Sun Ce, and a big center have?"
