Four Hundred and Eighty-Eight. The Sewer Water Is Very Deep

Every new season, after two games, some people are happy and some are sad.

Although the Grizzlies are in trouble, the overall situation is of course very gratifying.

Just kidding, Coach Hollins wanted to put every player's name on his face before leaving the house.

Among the 15 players, only 3 players have more than 5 years of playing experience. The remaining 12 players are all young talents with 5 years of playing experience or less.

It is acceptable to have questionable lineup composition.

And their problem is not that they don't play well, but that their defense is too good, a little... too good.

This is a double-edged sword with Tony Allen, the defense is exploded, and the Magic's 10-man rotation shooting team can be beaten to death by the Grizzlies, leaving the Spurs and Mavericks in the West to have at least 10-man rotations. All the teams feel a headache.

Only the offensive end has been affected.

However, Cardinal Auerbach once said that offensive players are everywhere, but there are only a handful of true defensive giants.

It's just that Auerbach's team looked down upon Tony Allen. When Tony Allen played the preseason and the opening game as a defensive leader for the Grizzlies, they didn't provide Tony Allen with any clear guidance for many summers. Teams that made offers regretted it.

That's why the Grizzlies had no hesitation at that time and were willing to use their salary space to make an offer to Tony Allen when those superstars had not yet decided where to go, so that Tony Allen felt respected and came to this team.

The Grizzlies are the happy side.

The Lakers and Spurs also started well. The Lakers beat the Bobcats 122-98 in the opening game. The Bobcats' season was considered useless. Gerald Wallace, their proud frontcourt defensive five, refused to renew. About, he joined the Trail Blazers. The Thunder poached Muhammad for 15 million in two years. The key is that boss Joe also gave backup centers Chandler and Ratliff to the Mavericks for free, and then waived Dampier. save money.

Boss Joe had no choice but to sign back his own No. 1 pick, Kwame Brown. Kwame Brown was actually pretty good. Yao Ming had a hard time beating him. He was really good in one-on-one defense, but that was all he could do in one-on-one defense. The positioning is not good, the rebounding is not good, the key is that the hands are small, and the rebound can be released.

The Spurs started with two consecutive victories, but no one noticed them, and they were developing...

The 76ers were a little excited. On October 30th and November 1st, they started with two consecutive victories. In the first game, they slaughtered Evans' old team, the Kings, with 30 points, 103-73.

Evans scored 42+8+3 in the first game, setting a career high.

In the second game, the Heat beat the Heat 93-91, giving the new Big Three their first two consecutive losses. Iguodala did a really good job guarding James, Holiday guarded Wade a little bit, and Evans was in charge of regular time. Beating the opponent's outside line, Iguodala made the key goal.

The 76ers management was very confused. In fact, they still had some doubts before the start of the new season. Although they were decisive when trading for Evans, they still had doubts. They felt that there might be something wrong with Evans. , so that the Kings have to let him play shooting guard, and would rather trade him if he doesn't play.

After getting it, I found that Evans... has a gentle personality and does not fight for the boss. Holiday quickly said that he is a leader, and Evans actually supported this player of the same generation.

In addition, Iguodala is not the type to fight for power. With Holiday, a sharp-edged combo guard, the relationship between their outside trio is extremely good.

During the game, when Evans was holding the ball and playing point guard, he was just like James. His ability to organize offense was better than that of Iguodala, and his scoring ability was not weak either. He could easily get 20 points...

As a result, the confusion of the 76ers management could not dissipate. They felt that the head of the Kings management might have been squeezed by the threshold.

The Big Three of the Heat were in a miserable state, and their start was as bad as they could get.

Although the Mavericks started with two consecutive victories, they still had many problems. Even Yao Ming quickly adapted to the style of play. He had previously cooperated with Anthony to give up the low post and elbow area, support the free throw line and baseline jumpers for a season. The Mavericks fit in almost perfectly.

On the contrary, Nowitzki has to slowly integrate. After Yao Ming came to the Mavericks, he scored 20+ points in two consecutive games, but Nowitzki was not adapted to the team style of play.

In the past two years, coach Carlisle had to continue singles tactics with Nowitzki in order to find confidence in Nowitzki. Nowitzki's integration has become the most important thing for the Mavericks this season.

The situation in this original time and space was the same. In the original time and space, after Chandler joined, he did well in pick-and-rolls and cake-taking. On the contrary, Nowitzki regained his confidence and was not afraid of those long-armed opponents. The small forward defended, but was slow to integrate.

This was also the playoffs of this season in the original time and space, and the Mavericks were not favored. It was not until they swept the defending champion Lakers, especially in the two games with a score difference of less than 4 points, that Nowitzki hit consecutive key balls to overwhelm Kobe. Let people know that they only got 55 wins in the regular season... because Nowitzki is still getting used to it!

…

Each team has its own joys or sorrows, but the season has just begun, and some things must continue to be regretted. It may not only regret this season, but also regret it for many years...

On November 2, the Grizzlies ushered in their first back-to-back home opponent, the Kings.

There were many bright spots for the Kings last year, such as beating strong teams in upsets from time to time and having talented rookies playing alongside the second-year No. 1 pick.

But now they have nothing. The Kings defeated the Grizzlies twice in upsets last season, and there were back and forths when they lost. It's just that the Grizzlies are stronger overall.

This time... Sun Ce had no chance to avenge the man who also won the Rookie of the Year Award. Sun Ce played for 25 minutes in the first three quarters and scored 11 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists on 4 of 8 shots. The opponent fell!

After clocking out in the third quarter, there was no suspense at all.

With Sun Ce's 6 assists and Conley's 5 assists, Gay, DeAndre Jordan and Yi Jianlian scored 50 points in a crazy counterattack. Gasol's 3 assists in the positional battle were also crucial. The Grizzlies beat 95 to 71. Beat the Kings with 24 points and win two consecutive games.

…

…

It was an easy win. The Grizzlies have enough energy to cope with the back-to-back matchup with the Warriors tomorrow. After all, the opponent's strength is not that good either. The strength ranking is ranked between 22nd and 10th to 12th in the Western Conference, especially the opponent. ’s style of play is purely offensive, and there is no pressure on the Grizzlies.

As for Sun Ce, if there is any pressure... he just doesn't know how to abuse the Warriors.

Even if he insists on abusing him, he can't do any tricks. While winning, his best data... is it possible to get a triple-double?

However, after the first two games of the new season, Sun Ce looked at his average data, 16 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists...

Sun Ce is currently the team's scoring leader + rebounding leader + assists leader, which looks awesome.

Sun Ce's evaluation in the new season is also very high, although it is usually an explosive start. For example, Roy played against the Rockets and Thunder in the first two games and scored 40 points in two consecutive games, which is amazing.

But no one thinks his data can be maintained.

Because Roy did not meet the Suns in the playoffs last season and did not fall behind 0-3, there was no need for him to force a comeback and win a game to preserve his dignity. After suffering a season-ending knee injury at the end of the regular season, Roy rejected the Trail Blazers. The team doctor performed the surgery and followed Aldridge's suggestion to go to Aldridge's hometown of Dallas for the surgery. He really didn't suffer the tragedy of having to come back after only eight days of rest after removing the meniscus from both knees.

In the original time and space, Roy's surgery went smoothly because he followed Aldridge's advice but did not follow the advice of the attending doctor. The Blazers team doctor actually dared to give him a health certificate and let him fall behind 0-3. Under such circumstances, he was forced to come back for the sake of the dignity of the team.

Although they won two games against the Suns, the sixth game also almost dragged the lead from 0 to 3 to 3 to 3 in the first three quarters. It seemed that the team's dignity was indeed maintained, but it completely ruined Roy's career.

Although Roy's style of play is doomed to continue to suffer injuries in the future, after all, the meniscus is gone, but considering Wade's precedent, as long as he does not forcefully commit suicide after being injured, and heeds Aldridge's advice to avoid the Trail Blazers doctor, he can play It won't be a big problem until you are 29 or 30 years old.

On Sun Ce's side, he averaged 16+12+6 per game at the beginning. Even if his points and rebounds declined later, after stabilizing, he averaged 13 to 15 points, 8 to 10 rebounds, and 6 to 7 assists. Very awesome, quasi-All-Star level, with a weakened defensive version and enhanced rebounding version of Iguodala. At least the top 50 in the league looks stable.

But for Sun Ce, this rebound... was a bit too much!

The scoring is okay. Randolph has not found himself yet. The team does not need him to score more in the first few games. He does not even need him to feel in the game. The focus is on his weight loss training outside the game. Just want to help Randolph lose weight to last season's level before this year's Christmas game.

Gay did play poorly in the first game. The opponent defended the outside very well. He was particularly focused on this aspect. Otherwise, Sun Ce would not have had 21 points. However, Gay scored 20 points in the second game. After two games, Gay scored 20 points. Averaging a total of 14 points per game, Sun Ce temporarily leads the team.

Regarding rebounding, Sun Ce really didn't expect it to develop like this.

The team's several insiders helping him to block positions are almost cost-effective. Even Randolph, a former data brusher, no longer cares about rebounds, and habitually blocks all opponents around him when the opponent shoots.

The Grizzlies' offensive performance in the first two games was average, which can even be described as poor. They averaged 87 points per game, which was lower than the Kings who averaged 88 points per game after three games, ranking last in the league.

The highest one was 95 points, which was also below the league average of 99 points per game after the start of the new season.

This will definitely seriously affect the number of assists of players who are the core players.

Sun Ce never expected that as an organizational point guard, his biggest problem in achieving a triple-double would be assists...

The water in the sewer is very deep!

…

…

On the morning of November 3rd, Sun Ce got up early as usual and went for a morning jog. While running around the river, Sun Ce met many fans and even domestic tourists.

After the direct flights from the Imperial Capital to Memphis were launched this year, the number of domestic tourists visiting Memphis has exploded.

Sun Ce starts running around the riverside for an hour every day at four o'clock. It has become an iconic "landscape" of Memphis. As long as Sun Ce is in Memphis, between five and six o'clock every day, there will be many fans taking pictures with cameras or mobile phones.

When Sun Ce is walking back after running, fans often come to sign autographs. This year, there are a lot of domestic fans asking for autographs and taking photos. Relatively speaking, domestic fans don’t have many opportunities to see NBA players. They spend so much money to fly to Memphis. Come, of course I will be excited to see Sun Ce.

It should take 20 minutes to walk back to the apartment. Recently, this 20-minute walk almost always takes close to an hour.

Sun Ce is also very happy, after all, so many fans like him.

After finally getting rid of these fans, we returned to the apartment a little after 7 o'clock, got on the elevator, stretched, and prepared to go back to the room to take a shower, eat breakfast, replenish energy, and catch up on some sleep.

But when Sun Ce came out of the elevator, he saw that the door to his room was not closed!

"Did I not close the door? Closed it? Or didn't close it?"

Sun Ce's first reaction was that he had left the door open, but considering that there were security guards downstairs in the apartment, it was considered a high-end apartment after all, and there was a young couple on this floor next door who occasionally invited him to lunch, so leaving the door open should be no problem.

Sun Ce walked to the door of the room, and just as he was about to go in... he saw a primary school student reading a newspaper and eating on his dining table!

I ate his breakfast and read his newspaper!

"Stephen! You actually ate my breakfast!" Sun Ce said angrily.

"Oh, someone brought breakfast and newspapers just now while I was waiting for you. I thought you ordered them specially for me." Curry's tone seemed to be reasonable.

Sun Ce is about to vomit blood. Why does this primary school student feel like he is getting thicker and thicker? Is it because after often shooting 1-for-6, 1-for-7, or even 1-for-10 three-pointers, you have already broken the pot?

But thinking about someone looking after the house, I couldn't bear to eat breakfast.

At this time Curry suddenly asked: "Aren't you curious why I came in directly?"

"Uh...didn't I forget to close the door?"

"No, when I knocked on the door but you weren't there, I remembered that you do morning exercises every day. I found the key from under the flower bed at your door."

"..."

Why does Sun Ce feel that Curry is developing towards the old Curry next door? Very dangerous! He even knows where the key is hidden!
