Vol 18 Chapter 1953: The evil hand shrouded in the Alliance

The 09 players stirred up the league!
If Curry’s trade is just because of Curry + Durant, coupled with the talents of Hilde and Jokic, it is expected to attract Sun Ce to join this summer, which will affect the future of the league. Then the Nets Over there, directly re-planned the alliance pattern!
Of course, if Curry joins the Clippers this season, if the run-in goes well, he will still be the second-tier championship team in people's minds, tied with the Suns, Warriors, Celtics, and Raptors.
Sun Ce, Harden, Curry, Evans, at their peak, they all led the team to become a big boss!
At this time, there are media evaluations. The 2009 draft is a super draft year that can be compared with the 1984 draft in a true sense!
Coincidentally, on January 14, 2017, the NBA officially invited the jury after voting and the 10 new superstars were announced!
In 1996, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the NBA, the NBA officially invited experts, retired players, TV narrators, and the media to vote for the NBA 50 superstars.
On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the NBA in 2006, the NBA officially invited experts, retired players, TV narrators, and media to vote. In January 2007, they announced the 10 new superstars, namely Kobe, Iverson, Garnett, Duncan, Kidd, Reggie Miller, Payton, Wilkins, McAdoo, Connie Hawkins.
10 new superstars have been added this year!
Even if the Nets are traded for Evans, it can't hide the attention of the top 10 stars.
The NBA officially announces the list from 9 in the morning and announces the name of a selected superstar every 70 minutes.
The first one is Steve Nash, the point guard of the 96 golden generation.
2 consecutive MVPs, 7 best team, 9 All-Stars, 5 assists, 3rd in the history of total assists, 2 championships...deserved of his name!
The second place is Dirk Nowitzki, 1 championship, 1MVP, 1FMVP, 12 best team, 13 All-Stars, 6th in the history of the total score, also well deserved.
The first two places announced were missed by many old fans. The two played on the same team that year. After they separated, they became one of the 70 greatest superstars in history.
The third place is the player who performed well in the last century. The former Bulls dynasty's best defensive and best rebounding star, Dennis Rodman, 5 championships, 2 DPOY, 2 best team, 8 times The best defensive team, 2 All-Stars, 7 rebounds, was selected to the Hall of Fame in 2011, he was not selected as the alternate top 10 superstars in 2006, he was already noisy, and his performance on the court really deserves Deserving of this honor.
The fourth place is the fifth of the four major centers, Alonzo Mourning, a fighter defeated by the kidneys, 1 championship, 2 DPOY, 2 best team, 2 best defensive team, 8 All-Stars, 2 blocked shots, inducted into the Hall of Fame in 14 years... Except for the championship, Mourning basically completed other honors before 2000. After 2000, he has gradually become a role due to kidney disease. Player, one can imagine how strong he was back then.
But relatively speaking, Mourning's controversy is more serious, because he is selected, there are bound to be other candidates who cannot be selected.
Fifth place, LeBron James, as the MVP, FMVP, DPOY, scoring king, and a grand slam player with a high probability of winning the assists king in the future, he was selected as the alternate top 10 superstar, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Sixth place, Ben Wallace, 1 championship, 4 DPOY, 5 best team, 6 best defensive team, 4 All-Stars, 2 rebounds, 1 block, this is also a The expected candidate, from the perspective of honor and historical status, he is even greater than Howard. Who would have thought that Howard, who had been DPOY three consecutive times under the age of 27, has only five times in the best defensive team. ? DPOY stopped 3 times?
The seventh place, the most controversial, Paul Gasol was selected, 2 championships, 5 best team, 6 All-Stars, but he is the greatest power forward in the history of the Lakers team, 3 after leaving the Lakers In 2016, he performed so well in the 76ers, and even played the league's first center level after the age of 33, the most important thing is the results of the international arena.
Eighth place, Chris Paul, 8 best team, 7 best defensive team, 8 All-Stars, 4 assists, 5 steals, 1 total runner-up, this is not controversial, although often Deron beats, but no one doubts his strength.
The ninth place, Dwyane Wade, 1 championship, 1FMVP, 1 scoring champion, 8 best team, 3 best defensive team, 11 All-Stars, and Paul is almost the same grade, one game after another. Defensive Paul is more, and Wade has the upper hand in the championship.
The top nine players who have been added to the 70 superstars, the latest to enter the NBA, also entered the NBA in 2005, that is, all the players who entered the NBA in the first 60 years of the NBA.
This situation is similar to the supplementary addition in 2006. The top 10 superstars, Kobe, Duncan, and Iverson, all entered the NBA in 1996 and 1997, and before 2006, these three Everyone has had an extremely glorious career stage.
But the players who entered the NBA from 2006 to the present are relatively unlucky. The Lakers and Spurs have been strong for several years, and the Celtics and Mavericks have also stepped in. The strongest stars of these four teams are Kobe and Duncan. , Garnett, Nowitzki, three of them are superstars who were selected as the 60 biggest stars in history ten years ago.
When these people got old, Sun Ce came... James was lucky to win a championship! Asking to be traded, Pat Riley thought of the favor of O'Neal's trade and sent him to the Lakers. It is really lucky!
At 8 o'clock in the evening, there was a 90-minute interval between ninth and tenth, which was longer than the previous 70-minute interval.
NBA official Twitter and Facebook also released the last picture.
One of the top 10 superstars finale, Sun Ce!
Five regular season MVPs, four championships + finals MVP, four consecutive scoring champions... these three honors, any of them alone, are enough to be selected for the top 70 stars.
The most frightening thing is that even if these three honors are set aside, Sun Ce's other honors are enough to be selected.
Add it up... NBA official comment-this may be the strongest man in basketball history.
...
As the only player in the NBA after 2006 to be selected as the top 70 superstars, Sun Ce has made the limelight again!
There is no problem with the five superstars or celebrities of Gianve Bonona, and there is no problem with Ben Wallace. The two celebrities Wilkins and Rodman have not caused any controversy. The controversy between Mourning and Gasol is big, one The peak period is short, and the performance of an international game is more points. NBA performance is actually the first-class level of the same generation. Gasol was selected, Ginobili fans were wronged, Mourning was selected, Howard fans were very wronged, Parker and Pierce’s fans reported to the group to keep warm...
However, after the announcement of the list, fans discussed the most not the list itself, but the ranking of Sun Ce and Jordan after he was selected as the top 70 superstar.
This is the same as the fans of Jordan and Magic after the announcement of the 50 superstars in 1996.
Anyway, at this stage, the fans of Kobe, James, Ross, Griffin, Curry, Westbrook, etc. are all incarnations of Jordan fans, thinking that Jordan is the number one.
Sun Ce fans think Sun Ce is number one.
Sun Ce didn’t think there was anything about this. When he opened the gap with Jordan one day, it would be the same as the situation when Jordan opened the gap with the magician. His first person status is naturally nothing. Controversial.
At this time, the day after the buyout, I packed up my portable luggage, said goodbye to my girlfriend and let my girlfriend handle the personal belongings of the rented house over there, and took a plane from Indianapolis to Memphis at 4 this afternoon. Ellis, came out of the airport without going to the booked hotel, and went directly to the FedEx Arena.
In the NBA, although Ellis is not a small player, he is not a big man, the height of a normal shooting guard and small forward.
But in life, Ellis is a strong man, over 90 kilograms, 198 centimeters tall, and full of muscles... Evening has passed. It is already night. A man with a backpack and sunglasses popped up in the dim square. Big guy, the security guards at the FedEx Arena are all nervous.
It was because the security guard paid more attention to the news of his own team. After careful identification, he discovered that this was the new aid Monta Ellis that the team might be introducing soon, so he quickly handed over an umbrella.
Looking at the huge poster above the gate of the FedEx Arena and the man surrounded by the top five stars, Ellis suddenly recalled the young rookie who asked him to learn the skills of change more than seven years ago.
Now, this rookie has become the overlord of today's basketball world.
Times have changed... Ellis turned on the phone and saw the WeChat sent by Sun Ce at noon. At that time, Sun Ce had just returned to Memphis from Denver and asked him when he would arrive and pick him up at the airport in advance.
Ellis didn't reply, but he took this sentiment and importance to his heart.
Of course, even if Sun Ce does not do this, it will not prevent Ellis from joining the new team as he did when he joined the Mavericks, trying to play for the strong team and change himself for the strong team.
In the Pacers, Ellis returned to the old style of play. The reason is simple. He believes that no one in the Pacers is better than him. In the Mavericks, he served Nowitzki, just like he served Captain Jackson and Bearded Davis. same.
By the time the Grizzlies, the strongest team in the new decade, the team that is currently ranked in the top five or even the top three in the entire NBA history at this stage, has a personal performance that is the best in history. For a team of great players, Ellis never thought about showing off what he has.
In the past 12 years, he has received more than 100 million dollars in salary. Ellis cares about the money, but he will be able to get 2.2 million dollars every year in the next five years. There are still more than 4 million dollars to get this season. It is for him at this stage. Said that the opportunity to touch the championship trophy is the most important thing at this stage of your career!
Although Ellis has extreme self-confidence, he also knows that he may be outdated. The Mavericks did not insist on maintaining the possibility of a championship with a certain chance but a slim chance, which explains everything.
Ellis thinks about it and feels that he is very miserable. He has played for more than a decade, and has cooperated with so many teammates. At this stage of his career, only Sun Ce threw an olive branch to him, but he also inherited this. Friendship, if the Pacers do not agree to the buyout, he is ready to give up part of his salary, but the Pacers are still not so unrelenting. After all, Ellis’ performance last season gave him a certain market last summer. It is no problem to sign a middle class for three or four years with a lower salary.
Although the lights in the arena were still on, Ellis guessed that the Grizzlies coaching staff was discussing what role he would play after joining, and how to suggest him how to play. The security also recognized him, and he did not go in to take a look. The taxi-hailing platform invested and created by Price Investment Group and the Litze Foundation "takes a taxi back to the hotel, waiting for the 48-hour clarification period to pass, and is not planning to meet new teammates in advance...
...
On January 15, the second day of the Grizzlies’ two-day break, the Grizzlies prepare for tomorrow’s game against the Lakers. The morning training is over and the Lakers have arrived in Memphis. Lunch time, Paul George wore a nose clip to be immune to the smell of food, and asked Sun Ce: "Brother, hasn't Monta contacted yet?"
"No, the clarification period has not passed yet. His personality is estimated to cause us trouble. In case other teams offer higher claim prices, we will have to bid. If the league is strictly investigated, we may be Fines...but in fact, we are unlikely to be fined. Those players who decided to buy out after going to a certain team went to the next home in advance."
"Third brother, be more direct, he is very arrogant, right?"
"Yes, he is the most Kobe player I have ever seen."
"Obviously I am more like Kobe! Look at my jersey number!"
"You are obviously more like James, everyone is saying you are learning James."
"It's not that you taught me how to deal with the relationship between James and the media... hey..."
"What's wrong? Why sigh?"
"I became the kind of person I hate the most..."
"..."
Sun Ce looked at this philately boss who was married to Fengzi. He still likes to collect stamps everywhere. In order to have more topics with women, it is estimated that the chicken soup in the circle of friends is not less! Sun Ce originally thought that WeChat might only be used by Chinese circles, student groups, and NBA players in European and American countries. Originally, only the Chinese circles and student groups in European and American countries like to use WeChat, but it may be the first to release this software in the United States. Those college students, High school students have also entered the society. John's apparently holds most of the equity of WeChat in North America and Europe. The number of users has soared in recent years. He is rushing to the third largest world-class social media goal, which is tied with Twitter and Facebook. Yes, in the later period Sun Ce and John invested a lot of money to increase servers and develop the market... The main thing is to maintain the share of shares, and the market value is soaring. In the past two years, they have also tried to make profits.
However, this made Sun Ce admire James' social skills even more. It was obvious that Paul George did not like James before entering the NBA. He was a hostile group of James fans. However, James froze because he had a good relationship with Paul George. James was still a rookie. Paul George, the second-year player of the season, did not look down on him. When he was training with Sun Ce in the summer of 2011, he took the initiative to build a good relationship with Paul George and took the young nightclub lover to play everywhere...
It's like casting a net all over the world! Not let go of one.
Both Kobe and Ellis are high school students. Compared with James...not to mention, Sun Ce feels that their personalities are quite complementary.
For Ellis, Sun Ce is not in a hurry, nor is the coaching staff who has received a call from Ellis.
Sure enough, the next morning, after the clarification period at 11 o’clock last night, when Sun Ce arrived at the arena this morning, Ellis had already started to practice catching and shooting. The sadly reminded trainer was Tim Hardaway... …
How come Ellis is also a famous player, now 31 years old, good skills, online strength, of course the trainer specifications can not be bad, enough respect must be given, Tim Hardaway, who usually chats with Sun Ce, is now in charge of Ellis in the ball Training in the hall.
"Hi, Monta, I knew you must be the first person to come to the arena." Sun Ce entered the training ground, regardless of whether Ellis had already started to sweat, and took the initiative to embrace him.
With a rare smile on Ellis's arrogant face, he hugged Sun Ce.
"Before I called you, the last time I spoke to you was when you went to the Mavericks to play with Yao in 2013. I took the initiative to call you... I didn't expect you to agree to come to us immediately after receiving my call. You knew me. I called you last summer, do you remember? I said before that my buddy will take you to the championship!"
Looking at Sun Ce, Ellis smiled again, snorted, said nothing, and continued to train.
No matter what the situation is, he is still arrogant, Sun Ce admires the Kobe players very much...
Sun Ce did not continue talking to Ellis. The other side obviously needs time to adjust to the new team. Anyway, there will be Paul George and Roll Deng, David West, Jaylen Brown, four socially skilled people for a while. Teammates will come, not afraid of Ellis withdrawn, but afraid of him being annoyed to death.
...
Nearly 8:30, teammates came to the team one after another and saw that Ellis had begun to follow Sun Ce, Roll Deng, David West, Paul George, who had arrived earlier in the arena. Jaylen Brown and Stockton conducted a 3-on-3 small-scale coordination training together. They all gathered around to watch Sun Ce, Stockton and Jaylen Brown play according to the team led by the team boss.
In terms of coordination, Stockton holds the ball, Sun Ce serves as the pick and roll performer, and Jaylen Brown eats pie. It is indeed not comparable to Paul George, David West and Ellis, so the three chose Rotating singles + points. Because all three of them have the ability to shoot or three-pointers, they are barely on par with the Stockton team. Unfortunately, Stockton was named...
After the teammates came, Sun Ce took the initiative to "make a date" Ellis, and his style of painting changed immediately. He took the initiative to choose Ellis as he did with the Mavericks in 3 vs. 3, and started the singles mode.
What surprised the teammates is that in this kind of one-on-one singles where both sides are opened, Sun Ce has done a good defense, and Ellis can always find a chance to score! In terms of non-competitive heads-up, Ellis and Sun Ce are equally matched! It is said that Anthony, Kobe, and Pierce are offensive kaleidoscopes, and Ellis is not weaker in technology than these three!
On Kobe's side, Pierce, Anthony, and Ellis are incomparable.
The teammates think carefully, in terms of offensive ability and the ability to lead the team alone, there seems to be no difference between the three behind! Pierce led the team to set a record of the lowest wins in the Celtics history, Anthony led the team, set a record of the Rockets team’s lowest wins, the Nuggets...The Nuggets took the initiative to play the game, James failed, Anthony rookie season His teammates are not bad. He entered the NBA Nuggets and gave him the core combination of Camby, Nene, Andre Miller, and Vaushan Leonard. After all, Ellis led the team. Better than the two brothers, of course, as one of the cores when working with other stars, Ellis is far inferior to Pierce, and there is a gap compared with Anthony.
The teammates were just amazed at Ellis' personal ability. There is still such a strength at the age of 31. The coaching staff is very happy with Ellis' state! Although everyone knows that Ellis is the kind of very hard-working player, from the second round of the show to averaging 25+ points per game, from the base salary to 10 million annual salary, after all, the nickname of the stadium rat, but really see Ellis maintain The state of the game, and Ellis took the initiative to lower his posture in training, and if there are core players holding the ball, they will honestly wait for the ball to catch and shoot...Although it's really not good to drop the ball, but the attitude is good.
A veteran, a strong veteran, once a quasi-top or top-level veteran, the most important thing is attitude! If a veteran holds the posture of "I was a star in the past", then such a player is not worth it!
The reason why other teams are afraid of Ellis’s influence on the team is because he was in that position when he arrived in the Pacers, but the Grizzlies chose to believe in Sun Ce, who believed that Sun Ce could suppress any player, just like Kobe suppressed Bynum and Odom and Artest like thorny or problem boys, Jordan suppressed Rodman, reached an agreement with the Pacers to claim Ellis back, and helped the Pacers pay almost a quarter. Salary for a season.
From the first training session, Ellis is not a big problem here! The lord effect is revealed! Also, seeing the players seriously watching Sun Ce and Ellis single-handedly, coach Hollins knew that Ellis’s strength was recognized by his teammates, just like Brogdon’s immediate combat power was recognized!
Coach Hollins knows very well that the group of people from his own team have a high vision...
...
"Yes, I have less playing time now, but I am very satisfied with my current state.
Rajon and Louis are so good, both better than me, why should I compete with them for playing time? Just because I scored 61 points? My buddy, I've taken it many times. It's a trivial matter. My goal is to help my teammates. I have been playing for more than 20 years. My experience can help them instead of competing with them for playing time.
I have reduced playing time and training time, what am I doing?
Since you asked, I will reveal that I am going to make a show...I didn't learn from that bastard!
Freeze said!
No!
I just want to do something. Just now I have time. I am going to analyze the strongest players and do a special program. Time Warner Cable Sports has reached an agreement with me to be on the sports channel and the Internet... You laugh What, don’t you say that word on the Internet?
It's ok.
I am going to release the video that my team and I made together on the sports channel and the Internet. I will act as a commentator to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the best players..."
The third Bear Lake battle of the season will start tonight. After the pre-match meeting and tactical training this morning, Kobe accepted an interview.
For the Grizzlies, Kobe is not very worried. They already know the Grizzlies whose core play has not changed much. What is afraid of is that the Grizzlies have reached an incredible state in the middle of the season...Anyway, someone is not the core. It's not even a starter, it's just a rotation of the main force and only one of them. He can do what he can do, such as getting more than 40,000 points to let Sun Ce catch up with vomiting blood!
Also, Kobe knew that the Grizzlies had claimed Ellis.
Most people definitely don’t know the order. Anyway, in Kobe’s perception, the Grizzlies took advantage of the Nets’ use of four potential guards + two first-round guards to exchange for the madness caused by Evans. Heat, secretly reached an agreement with Ellis and the Pacers to get Ellis back.
The Lakers don’t want Ellis, they love it. Their perimeter players are already strong enough. They are somebody, Louis Williams, Leonard, James, Rondo, Snell, the six big stars. At least the starting level player, the alternate is Corey Brewer, there is also Mike Miller who is basically a shooting coach. Even JR Smith did not renew their contract, but it does not mean that the Grizzlies have strengthened their points. Kobe and his team are not afraid of some defects in the positions of guards and small forwards!
However, Kobe knows very well that even if the Grizzlies do not "sneak up", there is a high probability that there will be no championship-level teams competing with the Grizzlies, ordinary teams competing with the Grizzlies, and the Grizzlies can also make the highest claim. , Then it was Ellis' turn to pick, based on Kobe's knowledge of Ellis, the Grizzlies finally got Ellis.
But this does not prevent Kobe from feeling the Grizzlies despicable.
Now Kobe has a lot of time. He plays for more than ten minutes in each game, and more than twenty minutes. In terms of training, physical training mainly focuses on maintaining physical condition, such as maintaining flexibility and flexibility, and strength. It’s not important anymore. Technical training focuses on catching and shooting to keep shooting, as well as strengthening training for running positions.
Although Kobe still has more training than most players, compared to his own situation before, there is really plenty of time, enough to allow a certain No. 3 player in the training ground next door to finish training and see his interview video. "Fucking" came out.
"The curse of the black mamba" is coming?
This guy can't play ball anymore, and he's starting to be a monster off the court again!
Is there any suspense? This guy analyzes the stars' programs, and his grandson is definitely the hardest hit area!
...
As a veteran, Ellis knows very well that changing teams in the middle of the season will basically have no effect. It is the first time to play in a new team. New players, generally those who are not well-known, are easier. Play well, followed by blue-collar, and then defensive players. Well-known offensive players join a new team. Whether they can play well depends on luck. It is possible to play well on weak teams, but it is difficult to play well on defensive teams. .
Especially for the Lakers, one of the best perimeter teams in the league, it's even more difficult.
Therefore, Ellis came to the team to report today, avoiding the need to say so many things to report yesterday. He is not good at this. Today, when he comes to the arena, he is directly preparing for the game without saying so much.
However, during the afternoon break after the preparations, Sun Ce was surprised that Jaylen Brown and Roll Deng, the two social bigwigs, could not talk with Ellis. The former is a rookie, and Ellis can’t look down on it. , The latter words are not speculative.
But Paul George and Ellis can talk very well and share common topics, such as how many years it will take Sun Ce to catch up with Kobe's score.
David West and Ellis have been friends for many years. When they don't touch each other for a year or a half, they will meet each other for dinner.
Sun Ce is very curious, the two can become good friends. Could it be because they both look like bandits and have a common language?
After the warm-up training in the evening, at 7:40 in the evening, Sun Ce and his teammates entered the stadium together.
In this game tonight, Deng Yingqiao and Teacher Tony did not enter the active list. After a few games, the Grizzlies sent a full starting lineup for the first time because the opponent was the Lakers.
Deng Yingqiao’s state has declined very seriously. Although he has escaped the squeeze of Thibodeau, he has not escaped the squeeze of the gods. After all, the latter is a big man who can squeeze even Kareem Abdul-Jabbar; Mr. Tony played in the playoffs these years There are too many games. He, a player who relies heavily on physical confrontation, planned to retire last summer, and he also took the initiative to apply to trade him to other teams to make room for $5 million. Sun Ce asked him to stay and guide the new team. The two rookie guards that came to defend, now Jaylen Brown’s defensive talent has begun to be converted into strength, and the improvement is obvious. Tony's playing time has also been greatly reduced. Now Ellis is here, and the team is not taking turns, and Tony is safe. Sitting comfortably on the bench, at this stage, his defensive command ability is stronger than the actual defensive role.
James, who was the first to enter the field, looked at Ellis, who was standing opposite to the player’s channel, without any waves. Two days ago, the New York Nets formed a super combination of Evans + Love + Porzingis. He is numb to the fact that the Grizzlies found the last piece of the championship puzzle-my old Beijing is too difficult! Is the most difficult era superstar in history!
Look at other superstars of the era, Kobe, O'Neal, Duncan, how well they are? Olajuwon also has two consecutive championship chances, how about him?
First met the Celtics Big Three, and then met Nowitzki, and then when his old Beijing reached its peak, Sun Ce began to dominate. Now, his old Beijing is already a thirty-year old man.
Over the years, one of the most important things James learned is-patience!
Slowly, there is always a chance to get ahead, just like 2014, to complete the Grand Slam directly, anyway, did not fall into the situation of another Lakers fame.
The Grizzlies are currently 35 wins and 9 losses, and their Lakers 36 wins and 8 losses. Judging from the current state of the two teams, James estimates that before the All-Star Weekend, their Lakers will find it difficult to hold No. 1 in the West.
James doesn’t care much about this. Winning first is not a win. Their goal for the Lakers is mid-season. If it doesn’t work in mid-season, then off-season, and mid-season next season will be fine...He can still afford it for three to five years. He wants to wait until his son grows up to see if his son has a chance to enter the NBA. He likes to create an achievement where father and son compete on the same stage-no one can rob him!
As for the addition of Ellis, in James' view, the biggest improvement of the Grizzlies is not the regular rotation. An extra Ellis in the regular rotation of the Grizzlies will not have much effect. It's a big improvement for the Grizzlies, especially in the playoffs. The Grizzlies lack an outside ball-handling singles scorer... In the playoffs, there is Sun Ce, do you need someone else? Just like when Kobe Bryant was still at the peak of their Lakers, when it was dying, he could play singles with Beijing and Kobe.
After the pre-game greetings, at 8 pm, the Lakers and Grizzlies started the game.
The Grizzlies re-sent a starting combination of Sun Ce, Klay Thompson, Paul George, Aldridge, and Gobert.
The Lakers have changed. Because the Grizzlies’ starting lineup is not fast inside, the Lakers are not playing fast this time. The outside team of James, Kobe, and Leonard start. Lopez started, with this lineup, the Lakers at least didn't suffer from height.
After the start of the game, the difference between the two teams' status was very obvious. The Lakers' outside line was no problem. James and Leonard played better. Louis Williams and Rondo depended on the playing time of Gianrenco's trio. Reduced, especially Kobe's playing time compared to almost half before scoring 61 points, and James reduced the ball to organize the offense, playing very well.
The Lakers’ Christmas game started. Up to now, 11 games have lost 3 games. The problem lies in the inside! The inside of the Lakers has improved a lot compared to last season. The addition of Lopez and Nene is the key, but the inside of the Lakers points to these two.
In the starting stage, the Lakers still had the upper hand. The Grizzlies didn’t defend Kobe's three-pointer in the starting stage. Kobe scored two three-pointers in the first quarter. The Grizzlies are really afraid of Kobe's disagreement. Get up, with James passing, Leonard and Lopez's shooting restraint, and Nene cut-in restraint, it is too easy to score when Kobe has enough physical strength and feel good.
This is mainly due to the pick-and-rolls of James and Nene or Lopez...especially the pick-and-rolls with Lopez, who can pick-and-roll, pull shots, cut in, and play in 28 minutes after weight loss. The frame protector who averaged 2.6 blocks per game is James's favorite! 22 million is a lot of premium, but the Lakers are preparing to leave Lopez next season, Kobe is also willing to further cut his salary, he does not lack this salary, he has not retired, first of all, holding on to the seventh crown expectation. There is also the need to add blockage to Sun Ce, and there is also the retired pretend that he thought many years ago was used by Sun Ce on Duncan. He has not yet thought of how to pretend to be forced when he retires.
But in the rotation stage, the Grizzlies clearly have the upper hand. When the combination of Sun Ce, Carter, Klay Thompson, Ellis, and Yi Jianlian came on the court, the Grizzlies rushed again!
Ellis, who has experienced the running and bombing style of the Warriors' old Nelson era, is very suitable for running and bombing fast breaks and receiving three-pointers! There is also a positional battle, Sun Ce caught Louis Williams to fight.
It's okay for Louis Williams to fight other opponents, but his mentality is really broken when he fights Sun Ce! No one is like Sun Ce, who is in this position, every day he knows that he "bullies the weak" and fights other opponents. Louis Williams has a strong confidence in himself. When the Grizzlies met Sun Ce, Louis -Williams put himself in the ranks of the disadvantaged.
However, Sun Ce does not accept moral kidnapping, and the call is still to be called.
The Lakers showed their tenacity, James' patience, Leonard's calmness, Kobe and Rondo's competitive spirit... The game was dragged into the middle of the fourth quarter, when the Lakers relied on Lopez to catch the ball and shoot. Scored 11 points, once hit a wave of 14 to 5, from 8 points behind to overtake 1 point.
But then, when it came to a critical moment, Sun Ce seized the opportunity of the opponent's lack of physical strength, and continued to pick-and-roll to shoot or score the ball from the inside, changing a wave of 13 to 5, creating a 7-point lead, 114 to 107.
The Lakers never had a climax. In the end, the Grizzlies relied on Sun Ce to have 29 points, 12 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks, Klay Thompson’s 21 points, Aldridge’s 13 points, Paul George’s 15 points and 7 Assists... The Grizzlies beat the Lakers 118 to 112, winning 12 straight!
Relying on the advantage of the victory and defeat, the Grizzlies, also 36 wins and 9 losses, successfully surpassed the Lakers and rushed to the first place in the West!
...
The Grizzlies rushed to the first place in the Western Conference after all! Now ~EbookFREE.me~ ranks ahead of the Grizzlies, only the 37-7 Bulls in the Eastern Conference!
Those who were expecting the Grizzlies to collapse in full swing were disappointed.
The Grizzlies had 75 wins and 72 wins last season and last season respectively. This is the first and second-highest win in NBA history. It is undoubtedly the strongest consecutive team in the entire NBA history.
