: One thousand eight hundred and thirty-two. The Eagles collapsed

　　 Sun Ce's team that beat Jordan soared 23 points in a single quarter to pay tribute to Jordan. This was great, but that night, there was a new topic.
When facing the Thunder, Lillard made 17 of 39 shots, 17 of 17 three-pointers, 11 of 12 free throws, hurried 52 points...and helped Whiteside score 10 points and 17 rebounds, helping Plum Lee scored 6 points and 14 rebounds.
　　 But it is not just these two people who help the board. The Thunder also help a lot. Durant is 6 of 21, Dieng Waiters is 8 of 18... On the contrary, Westbrook is 11 of 15.
　　Although the Thunder defeated the Trail Blazers 122-117, it was Lillard who became popular after the game.
　　 Lillard yelled for the first time that he should be an All-Star. In the basketball circle, there was a nickname of "Things Forcing".
In the past two summers, the Trail Blazers have started to leave. Compare the 13-14 starting lineup. Now the Trail Blazers are left with Lillard. People are paying a silent tribute to Lillard, but they have long been speculating this season. Will Lillard be angry and cast wildly? From this look, if it is true, the preseason began to soar, playing 39 times in 38 minutes.
This time Lillard’s 52 points were spit out wildly after the game. Even if he played so fiercely in the preseason, he hadn’t won yet. Without Matthews, Westbrook emerged as if he was playing. Lillard was right. Westbrook's defense made Whiteside on the inside wonder how desperate...
However, some fans found that Whiteside's defensive end has changed a lot. Originally last season, Whiteside had already begun to show signs that the defensive end was changing in a good direction, but in the second half of last season the Trail Blazers fell behind in the playoffs. Yes, this team is even less concerned.
　　 But this time, Lillard soared 52 points in the preseason, which brought the Trailblazers attention again. Whiteside was more active in close range defense and new features of willingness to get stuck into people's field of vision.
The Los Angeles Times broke the news. Whiteside’s friends revealed that because pure defensive player Larry Sanders received an average salary of 15 million non-bird rights quasi-maximum salary, it gave Whiteside confidence that he could do without such explosive data. Getting a good contract strengthened Whiteside's determination to change.
　　 According to detailed reports, Whiteside was very afraid that he would not be able to renew his contract after the end of this year's contract. When he had confidence and had the experience of playing for the Grizzlies, it became a matter of course.

　　 On the Grizzlies side, teammates are all ecstatic about Sun Ce's first offensive performance from a low post! Especially those newcomers who don't know how to describe their feelings.
　　 has been strong enough in training, and actually become stronger in the game! Most of the other players are completely different. Other players are better trained than the game, such as Howard's free throw.
　　 But Sun Ce is better at competition than training!
Sun Ce’s old teammates have long been used to it. When Sun Ce was a rookie, training was very average, but he played very well as a substitute in the game. In his rookie season, he could soar 58 points in a single game and directly win the best sixth man. And the best rookie, the limelight overshadowed Evans, who averaged 20+5+5 per game.
After Mo Williams, David West and others came to the Grizzlies, the worldview was refreshed. First of all, everyone wanted to give the mini-middle class when they signed up. During the interview, there were a lot of reporters and old players. They seemed so comfortable; they turned a blind eye to Sun Ce's big strides every year; the first man in the league was the third elder brother. Randolph, the boss of the bright side, didn’t care about anything. He clearly wanted to be the second-in-chief Paul- George was forced to operate as a team leader...
　　 When Sun Ce showed his strength in the preseason and showed stronger strength than during training, the teammates didn’t even notice...
　　 But I won and I won. The first preseason game exposed a lot of problems. First of all, there were some changes in the players' style of play, which made the triangle offense not so good and needed fine-tuning.
　　 The defensive combination of the bench lineup is not good. The combination of Nance and Randolph is poor enough, not as good as Sun Ce and David West.
　　Mo Williams is too sticky. Sessions was not confident enough when he had so many powerful teammates. He always wanted to hand the ball out, but Sessions himself did not have the ability to shoot from the outside, which led to his teammates playing 4 to 5...
　　 There are many problems that need to be solved, but the coaching staff is happy. The sooner these problems are exposed, the better, so that they can find ways to avoid them in the pre-season and early regular season adjustments.
　　 However, it did reveal that this year's rotation lineup is not as good as last season. As a result, improving the performance of the starting lineup has become the top priority. The core players have to take on more tasks than last season!
　　 The coaching staff didn’t think there was anything wrong with the increased pressure on the stars. Four of the top five starters were top salaries. Four of them accounted for more than 60% of the salary cap and should have taken more responsibility.
　　Moreover, Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, and Paul George are all approaching 26 years old. They have entered the golden period of their careers and need more performance opportunities.

　　 The preseason race is in full swing. This year's China League did not arrange for the Grizzlies to participate. The Warriors and Lakers, Spurs and Mavericks went to play in China.
　　 Mainly because Kobe and Duncan have rumors that they will retire after playing this season.
　　 This actually made Sun Ce breathe a sigh of relief. It's not that he doesn't like playing in the China Games. He is really excited to play.
　　 But he has played in China twice, and even he feels exhausted, let alone his teammates. Flying back from them to China is much farther than Huma Niu Yong.
After the first pre-season game, Sun Ce’s playing time increased, but it was even more fragmented. He played 20 minutes per game, running tactics with different teammates, and it didn’t matter whether he made a shot or not. The main reason was to exercise tactical execution. force.
Rockets, Pacers, Pacers, Magic, Magic, Hornets... For the remaining six games, the Grizzlies have only 2 wins and 4 losses, but every game is fine-tuned, and progress is obvious. Come out.
　　October 14th, after the preseason, all the adjustments that can be made have been done. The next No. 15 Grizzlies have no training arrangements and a rest day. On the 16th, they prepare for the opener with the Hawks.
If new problems are exposed in the regular season, then continue to adjust. The long regular season is a process of continuous adjustments for the playoffs and preparation for the playoffs...Of course this is for the championship-level teams For ordinary strong teams, the regular season has to fight, otherwise they will not be able to make the playoffs. The reality is always so cruel. The stronger the team, the more opportunities they have.

　　 On the morning of the 15th, Sun Ce rarely slept and got up. When brushing his teeth, he used his mobile phone to check the news and saw that the player and team strength rankings were all released.
　　 There was no moth this time, and their Grizzlies ranked first in the team leaderboard.
　　The second place is the Bulls, the third Spurs, and the fourth Hawks. This is a very consistent ranking of the three lists.
　　 In the fifth aspect, Sports Illustrated and ESPN both ranked the Lakers fifth; but T.N.T only ranked the Lakers eighth, the Warriors fifth, the Thunder sixth, and the Raptors seventh.
The Nets that Sun Ce cares more about are ranked 11-14, which is in line with his expectations. The Nets have a rising momentum, but it is estimated that it will be difficult to compete with the Bulls, Raptors, and 76ers. It is possible to enter the playoffs with a fourth or fifth ranking in the Eastern Conference.
　　 The Eagles won first place in the Eastern Conference last season and successfully renewed their contract with Millsap. Although their performance in the playoffs was not good, they are still very promising in the regular season.
　　 But Sun Ce clearly remembered that the Eagles would collapse like the Nuggets...
　　 Has it changed?
Sun Ce thinks it should be like this. Two days passed in a flash. After a day off on the 15th and a serious and focused preparation on the 16th, on October 17, the first game day of the new season, the Grizzlies acted as today’s The finale of the game, at 7:40 pm, Sun Ce and his teammates entered the court together and will meet the challenge of the Eastern Conference Champions Eagles last season.
　　 After entering the stadium, the ceremony of issuing the championship ring and raising the championship flag began.
　　 Seeing this picture again after a year later, the fans on the scene felt more not the ecstasy of the year, but the familiarity!
This is the Grizzlies style, fans are infected by the temperament of their own team~EbookFREE.me~Paul George enjoyed the glory of wearing a ring for his teammates and chose the retired Stoudemire, Richard Jefferson came to the scene to collect the ring, Blake's side, finally chose to go to the Pistons to get a salary of 4 million a year. He would choose to retire with a basic salary, but 4 million a year, it is indeed very tempting. .
　　 After Sun Ce got the championship ring and was snatched by Zu Go, he began to observe the opposing lineup.
In terms of player strength, Teague has made some progress, and it seems that he may break through to the quasi-top level, but not yet. Others, in terms of personal ability, seem to have not changed. Millsap is still A+, Horford A, Kovo The three-pointer of the S-Class, Sefrosa also returned to the A-level due to weight loss defense...Moreover, the strength of Baezmore and Schroeder has also improved, and they have also been traded to the Trail Blazers last season. Hardaway, who played Rade as a substitute...The main lineup is Carroll, who averaged 12 points and 5 rebounds per game, was poached by the Raptors' 4-year 60 million poison contract. Shouldn't it collapse?
　　 Sun Ce thinks that the Hawks may have changed their lives against the sky and will not collapse like they did in the original time and space.
　　 However, after the game started, Sun Ce knew that he was too young. Sometimes depending on the players' strength, there was really no way to analyze whether a team was strong or weak!
　　 In the first quarter, relying on Aldridge's low position against Millsap, the Grizzlies scored 41 to 24 in the first quarter, leading by 17 points in the single quarter!
　　 Sun Ce feels that it is not just that the Eagles can't prevent Aldridge. He really feels that this team is so weak, and it has topped the edge of the Eastern Conference playoffs!
　　 Sun Ce didn’t understand it! Why did the Hawks suddenly become so weak?
