: One thousand eight hundred and forty-one. People's expectations

This battle with the Warriors fully exposed the Grizzlies' lack of defensive continuity!
This is the problem Sun Ce discovered during and after the game when analyzing the video.
Sun Ce found that there was nothing wrong with their offensive end this season. Even with so many players, their offense actually improved. Rules, more shooters, and the improvement of veteran players all made them easy on the offensive end. It's running in.
But the continuity on the defensive end is really not enough!
In this game of the Warriors, their Grizzlies were all the main players, and Jie Michael Green also completely topped Bargnani to the inactive list after the game with the Suns.
However, Bargnani still has to enter the active list in the future. Jie Michael Green can only play 41 games in the regular season, and there is no limit to the playoffs.
This is very cruel. Jie Michael Green played better than Nance Jr. and Bargnani. In terms of role and function, David West’s offensive effect and Jie Michael Green played aside from pure ability. The role of the defensive end is almost the same, but the more so, the more cautious the Grizzlies have to use Jie Michael Green. For example, if you play against weak teams, you may not let Jie Michael Green play, and you should save the use of strong teams. , The strength can be strengthened one point is one point.
This shows that Jie Michael Green, a development player who can defend from the third position to a mini center, is higher than Bargnani and Gerald Green, but it may also make him lose the opportunity to exercise when playing weak teams. , May expose his shortcomings when encountering a strong inside team.
Without Larry Sanders, Richard Jefferson, and Pierce, their forward rotation defensively declined, and it must be so.
Just like playing the Warriors, the continuity is really not enough. When there are guards on both sides, the Grizzlies don’t suffer, but when they enter the rotation, they lose the advantage of previous years. There is no way. They have five starting points for the Grizzlies. Four of them get top salaries. Randolph also has 15 million. Their brothers are close to 90 million. This year's rotation salary adds up to less than 30 million, which is incomparable to the past few years. With double 3D, Larry Sanders' rookie contract does take a big advantage.
In fact, Sun Ce feels that it is not important whether the rookie contract is over. The important thing is whether they can sign a long-term contract with high-quality role players during the rookie contract. The key point is that the Grizzlies have never had that opportunity. They signed up after the first championship Not smooth, missed the best time.
But Sun Ce feels that they are now in the best state they can do, and now they can only tap their potential internally, starting from the adjustment of the rotation lineup, so that the three outside lines and Aldridge can have more time in the regular season. Fault tolerance, to ensure that there are at least two starting members on the court to maintain the continuity of strength.
It's just that it will become more difficult and test the coaching staff because of the rotation.
At the beginning of the new season, Sun Ce felt the pressure of the defending season.
In fact, if you change to a season where you didn't win the championship last season, you won't think it's anything, but since it is the defending season, you want to be perfect in everything, but in the end you will find that perfection is impossible.
With his own problems to be solved, the strength of the Warriors also made Sun Ce very vigilant.
In the first 9 games of the new season, Curry averaged 28 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.3 steals. He averaged 5.3 three-pointers per game, ranking second in scoring. The key is that his shooting percentage is better than Sun Ce, 53+46+ 92...The 180 club temporarily!
Harden averaged 23 points, 7.9 rebounds, 8.9 assists, Drummond Green averaged 8 points, 10 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 1 block, 1.3 steals, and Thabeet averaged 10.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 2.7 blocks per game.
These four, with Harrison Barnes, were led by Iguodala on the bench. After the Warriors played against their Grizzlies, they became the only team in the league that hasn't lost!
Curry has entered the peak period. With an average defensive level, he has an S-level ability evaluation. Harden has also entered the golden period of his career. If the ball is not divided into Drummond Green, he averages 25+8+10. Well, of course, Harden has done a very good defensive end and attacking moments due to the division of the ball to Drummond Green. There are gains and losses.
Also, the Warriors’ tactics... As Curry started the new season very hotly, after Sun Ce won the first week of the week, Curry won the next week’s best for two consecutive weeks. Their Grizzlies naturally played against Curry. Fearful, Curry also strayed a few goals at the beginning of the game.
But then the Warriors focused on Harden, and it didn't seem to be because of Curry's on-the-spot change after being guarded, but the change from the beginning, and the third point of Nick Young!
With Drummond Green’s tandem offense and Curry’s organizational offense, Harden and Nick Young scored 68 points!
The Warriors’ core lineup has not changed at all compared to last season. Thabeet has maintained the league’s strongest three-second zone and close-range guarding ability. Drummond Green has made great progress. The new season has started 10 games and has three triple-doubles. In the peak period, Harden is also in the golden period of his career.
The role player lineup is deeper than last season. The Warriors' salary reached 99.73 million US dollars. The addition of Rooney and Nick Young has made the Warriors more diverse inside and outside.
Interim head coach Luke Wharton is really good when he is coaching this kind of full-level number that has been built for five or six years.
The Warriors are strong. Sun Ce clearly felt the pressure. In addition to the pressure he felt, he also remembered that the Warriors won 73 wins this season in the original time and space...
...
On November 7, the Grizzlies defeated the Jazz 110-100 in the final game of their three consecutive away games. All teams in the league have played 10 to 11 games, and the strength of each team is more or less demonstrated. Up.
After the Warriors defeated the Spurs 110-99, they ranked first in the league with 11 wins and 0 losses, and naturally ranked first in the Western Conference.
The second Grizzlies in the West have 9 wins and 1 loss, the third Spurs have 8 wins and 3 losses, the third Thunder has 8 wins and 3 losses, the fourth Mavericks 7 wins and 3 losses, and the fifth Trail Blazers 7 wins and 4 losses. Lost, the sixth Lakers are 6 wins and 4 losses, the seventh to ninth Jazz, Pelicans, and Suns are all 6 wins and 5 losses. This brother three is also unlucky. The three teams have played against each other in recent games. , The record fell from four, five or six to seven or eight.
The most amazing thing is that the Trail Blazers, who lost four starting points in the past two summers, have actually risen without falling, mainly due to the improvements of Lillard and Whiteside, and McColler who averaged 7.6 points per game last season. Alan Crabbe averaged 3.3 points per game last season. The former averaged 18 points per game in the new season and the latter averaged 10.6 points per game in the new season.
The performance of the Lakers was also quite amazing. After losing their first three straight games, they had a record of 6 wins and 1 loss. During the Lakers' win, only the Warriors had better record than them, which was equal to the Grizzlies.
On the Grizzlies side, they started with 9 wins and 1 loss, but not many people said they had a good record, as if they thought they should be 9 wins and 1 loss. Some even thought they had a bad record because the Warriors had 11 wins and 0 losses.
But this is not a bad thing. What the Grizzlies need now is not praise, but to understand their own problems in many ways.
Because they know that their overall performance here is definitely not bad, but there are always people who like to compare their performance last season with theirs this season, and their Grizzlies really can’t do the same from last season’s lineup, run-in, and strength. Every step ahead of all other teams, they are currently 9 wins and 1 loss like the No. 1 Bulls in the East.
The Raptors, second in the Eastern Conference, have 9 wins and 2 losses, third Celtics have 7 wins and 3 losses, fourth Sixers 7 wins and 3 losses, fifth Nets 6 wins and 4 losses, sixth The Knicks are 6 wins and 5 losses, the seventh Heat team is 6 wins and 5 losses, the eighth Pistons and the ninth Hornets are both 5 wins and 5 losses.
It can be seen that after the top four in the Eastern Conference, there is a tendency to lose gear. The top four may be strong playoff teams, and the last four may be just ordinary playoff strong teams.
In terms of team strength rankings, after three weeks of play, the Warriors soared to first place in the league. The biggest drop was the Eagles, which fell from the highest fourth to 13th.
In terms of rookie rankings, Towns of the Timberwolves ranked first without any suspense, but Porzingis of the Nets was also dazzling enough to rank second for three consecutive weeks.
Porzingis has been surprising enough, but even more surprising is the third place, the Clippers' 14th rookie Nickla Jokic~EbookFREE.me~ averaged 12.2 points, 7.7 boards, 3.4 assists and 1 A "swollen fat man" with 0.5 steals, small tonnage and no muscle lines, overpowered Russell who averaged 14 points and 5 assists and Okafor who averaged 15 points and 7 rebounds!
In terms of MVP rankings, Sun Ce has always been in the top two, averaging 36.2 points, 10.4 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 2.6 blocks and 2.2 steals in 10 games, which is not surprising.
But before the start, no one could have imagined that after the first three weeks of the game, it was Curry who overpowered Sun Ce to rank first in the MVP ranking!
Some fans feel that Sun Ce is miserable. After the last two consecutive MVPs, he met James, who was his peak one year, and lost his three consecutive MVP opportunities. Although Sun Ce won the first time in the 12-13 regular season in his career, he won the scoring champion and 30+ 10+5 data.
This time, Sun Ce averaged 36 points per game, with 52% shooting, 39% three-point shooting, and 86% free throw shooting. Such an excellent performance was met by a playmaker. Curry couldn't help but marvel at it.
It’s not surprising that the Warriors played so well, because the Warriors had a winning streak at the start of last season, but the Grizzlies were ended. This season the stars have become stronger and stronger. The fact that they have an 11-game winning streak in place is not so surprising.
However, the more this is the case, the more fans hope that Sun Ce can continue to take MVP to complete the three consecutive MVP, because 30 years have passed since Daniao completed the three consecutive MVP, the fourth three consecutive MVP still did not appear, Duncan in 02 After winning the MVP in 2003 and 2003, he reached his peak in the 03-04 season and achieved a career-high efficiency of 27.1, but he failed to complete three consecutive MVPs and was robbed by Garnett. It has been embarrassing, and Sun Ce is the second. It is expected to hit three consecutive MVP!
