: One thousand eight hundred and fifty-two. MVP strategy

Returning to Memphis with a beautiful start of 23 wins and 3 losses, the most brutal part of the early part of the season came.
From December 12 to December 21, the Grizzlies have 7 games in 10 days.
When he got home, Sun Ce looked at the next schedule, first with 4 consecutive home games in 5 days and 4 games, and then three consecutive away. More than half of the opponents in the playoffs...hard to play! This schedule may be considered the most compact in the entire season. First it is a 5 days and 4 games, then the away game is opened. After the first away game, it is another away game back to back.
However, after these 7 games, there was a three-day holiday before the Christmas game. There was no game on the 22nd to the 24th. On the 25th, they will play the Christmas game with the Lakers.
This year's Christmas concert has been prepared again, but this time the "amateur players" did not ask him and Sun to write songs, because a well-known professional songwriter took the initiative to contact them to help them write songs.
Here in the United States, songwriters and songwriters have a permanent copyright rake. They can get 15 cents for a dollar of album profit, and they can directly get 15 cents for a dollar of download income, while the singer is about 1. The U.S. knife is drawn for 35 cents. Regardless of other interests, the income of songwriters and songwriters is half of that of singers. Seeing these sideline players who play various tricks in the main business, the number of downloads of a song is broken. Millions, the key is to wait for a long time. This group of people rarely ask them to invite songs, and they finally couldn't help but put down the initiative to help this group of players write songs.
After thinking about it, Sun Ce turned his attention back to the game and broke 10 consecutive 40+ games. It is a pity that it is 4 games short of Chamberlain's historical record, but it is also true. Sun Ce knows how difficult it is!
In the next three or four games, he has reached the stage of life-killing. He has played all the games and used the potion immediately if he has the stamina... However, although he has not surpassed Chamberlain, he has become the number one in active service. After surpassing Kobe, Sun Ce still feels very happy.
But then, you have to play more cautiously. After these 7 games, starting from the Christmas war, it is equal to the middle of the season. Although the season has been stretched for more than half a month, the fatigue accumulated in the early part of the season should be there. The time period will break out or will break out, but that the prolonged season will relatively reduce the risk of injury.
And this time brought by the extended schedule, for their defending championship team, the effect is very ordinary, because they are one of the last two teams to play last season.
The Bulls coach Sloan, who saw Rose or Griffin hitting MVP with little hope in the Eastern Conference, didn’t even consider the record. Will the Raptors take away the Eastern Conference’s No. 1 Sloan like the Hawks did last season. They don't care at all, anyway, they have won around 60 wins every season in the Eastern Conference, and this is a record that Eastern teams other than their Bulls and Raptors cannot get this season.
But their Grizzlies can’t. If they don’t have a chance to win the MVP, they guarantee that the top four will be enough, but with Curry’s performance so good, Sun Ce still maintains a chance to win the MVP, and there is a great chance. , Then you have to guarantee the record, you can't get the first one, at least you have to get the second, and the record gap cannot exceed 5 games.
Therefore, it is about to enter a 10-day and 7-match battle, Sun Ce thinks that it is a good thing to break 40+ consecutive games. If you really get 40+ in 11 consecutive games, how can you not consider Chamberlain's consecutive 40+ games? historical record?
Don't say whether his Sun has any ideas, teammates and coaching staff will support him to do it, because this is a historical record that has been sealed for more than 50 years!
But then, in such a schedule, if you really lose two or three games, you may not be able to catch up for the entire season. After all, in terms of regular season performance, the Warriors can indeed be compared with their Grizzlies last season. The Bears really couldn't perform that way in the regular season this season.
In the past 26 games, the Grizzlies have often fallen behind in the first half, even after three quarters, because they have been trying more lineup changes in the first half regardless of their opponents. Try the tactics under more lineup changes. If you play well, let's not talk about it. If you don't play well, you will have to rely on the stars to come back in the second half, so Sun Ce has such terrible data.
But this did not make Sun Ce tired. The record is good. Another thing is that the team has his Sun, so it is very firm to implement such a plan, and therefore the better it is. In the past few games, they have been in the first half. There is rarely a half-time very passive situation like the dozen or twenty games at the beginning of the regular season, which means that their progress has always been!
Set aside the problems that cannot be solved, and use personnel adjustments and tactical changes to make the game move in their favor. Their Grizzlies have gradually gained this ability.
For each player, there is also a clearer way to use it, and a better lineup arrangement for its functional role allows them to play their advantages...
This is the successful experience that the Grizzlies have explored during their three championships in the past four years, so they can quickly find their own solution to the problem when the rotation has changed so much.
This gave Sun Ce the confidence and foundation to continue to compete for the MVP in the season after the two consecutive MVPs, the Warriors have such an outstanding record and Curry's personal performance is such a strong individual.
The next season is about to come to the middle of the season. Sun Ce also knows how to adjust his play style. Perhaps the decline in data and efficiency is inevitable. What he has to do is to ensure that the decline in data and efficiency will not be very severe. Above, the record is the most important, and the Warriors must not be allowed to expand the record gap to the point where they are ranked, that is, to ensure that the record gap does not exceed 5 games!
...
...
Sun Ce has a clear goal. After communicating with the coaching staff, he learned that the preparations of the coaching staff are the same as those of his Sun, because this is the best way for Sun Ce to attack the MVP. Both record and personal performance are indispensable. In this case, Sun Ce's seemingly simple and rude thinking logic is the best strategic plan.
The two days of rest before 10 days and 7 games quickly passed. After the preparations for the first 4 games of 5 days and 4 games ended, on December 12, the Grizzlies ushered in the game against the Trail Blazers at home.
At present, the Trail Blazers have performed surprisingly. With the lineup weakened further than last season, Lillard and Whiteside both carry the Most Improved Award, the favorite McCollum, and the defensive small forward Aminu. Starting teammates like Mason Plumley have a 17-9 start record and are currently ranked fifth in the Western Conference, overtaking the 17-10 Mavericks and the 16-10 Lakers.
In the evening, when the game was about to begin, Sun Ce looked at the players other than the top five starters on the opposite side and felt that Lillard was really miserable...
Lillard's bench is a 185 cm 2008 loser, and he is 31 years old and needs McCollum to play combo guards, which means that Lillard and McCollum are not playing at the same time for a long time; Aminu and Whiteside are both defensive pie-eaters, and the frontcourt player Mason Plumley can have a certain degree of autonomous offense.
In fact, the starter is okay, this starter is very suitable for Lillard and McCollum, two defensive players who are sloppy and offensive.
Mainly a substitute, terribly bad! Gerald Henderson is no longer the best shooting guard in the 2009 season. Now he is a side effect player. It is estimated that after this contract, no team will appreciate him; the best outside substitute is Allen Crabbe; the other two substitutes with stable playing time are both strikers, averaging 6+3 levels per game...
But the more so, the more it highlights how well Lillard, McCollum, and Whiteside performed well. Lillard averaged 26.2 points, 4 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game; McCollum averaged 18.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game; White Said averaged 17 points, 14.1 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game, of which rebounds temporarily ranked second in the league and fourth in blocked shots!
At 6 o'clock in the evening, after the Grizzlies and the Trail Blazers started the game, the Grizzlies felt from the beginning the reason for the Trail Blazers' record. The starting lineup performed very well on both ends of the offense and defense! The starting combination of Lillard, McCollum, Aminu, Plumlee, and Whiteside is not even better than the starting combination of their Grizzlies Sunce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Jeffrey Green and Randolph Poor lineup! Can't say that it is not worse than their Grizzlies. Because of the better height, the Trail Blazers beat their Grizzlies 26 to 19 in the first quarter!
What makes the Grizzlies stand out is Whiteside. The number of blocked shots and rebounds has declined, but the defensive efficiency at close range has greatly improved. Because of the experience of playing with the Grizzlies, as a teammate, he has experienced Sun Ce's way of playing. Knowing what a center is truly dominant in defense, the Blazers boss told him in advance that he would be given a maximum salary regardless of whether he was willing to renew his contract in the middle of the season or wait for the offseason salary cap to soar. , Giving him a sense of security, he started to play like Gobert.
With Whiteside’s block awareness, physical fitness, and size advantage, the defensive efficiency has skyrocketed without suspense, and there is an All-Star call. This is the original time and space at most in the playoffs without aggressive awareness and consciousness. A sense of security that he cannot make changes.
In the second quarter, the Grizzlies came back to their senses and began to squat defense with the Trail Blazers. After entering the rotation, the Trail Blazers weren’t that strong anymore. Their bench lineup was really bad!
With the deepening of the game, the Grizzlies gradually overtook the score and restricted Lillard, who scored 15 points in the first quarter, and only allowed Lillard to score 21 points.
Although McCollum relied on Lillard to attract the Grizzlies to take extra care, he had a good chance of scoring, and Whiteside guaranteed an offensive rebound and made 13 of 29 shots in a single game, including 12 three-pointers and 6 free throws. 8 scored 40 points, but the Trail Blazers only scored 60 points in the next three quarters!
On the Grizzlies’ side, Sun Ce met Aminu and his shooting performance was not so good. A defensive player of the type Aminu has better restraint against Sun Ce’s play style. From the physical condition, the crown prince is really good. As written in the draft report during the draft of the year, the superstar embryos, but the players and skills can not keep up, and eventually become pure defensive players. Some fans joked that if Leonard, Klay Thompson, Jimmy Butler, etc. With Aminu's static physical condition and athletic ability, he can't take off yet...
However, Sun Ce also has a way to deal with it. Don't make blind shots, move closer to the low post, and play close-range counter shots to connect the team's offense.
In the end, relying on Klay Thompson's 27 points, Yi Jianlian's 16 points, Paul George's 15 points and 4 assists and Sun Ce's 20 points, 16 rebounds and 11 assists in a triple-double performance, the Grizzlies beat the Trail Blazers 96-86. !
