1122. Thunder Rise! (Part 2)
"The Thunder have won 7 consecutive games, Noah, why do you think we always meet opponents who are winning streak?"
"Heaven will give great responsibilities to man, and his heart will be painful..."
"When God wants to hand over a great cause to someone, he needs to use difficulties to hone the heart of the person to make it stronger? Noah, I know you Chinese are educated, can you not show off?"
Looking at Randolph's disgust, Sun Ce really wanted to complain - I, Old Sun, can't even pretend to be a pussy!
However, Randolph does not exclude educated people, but rather wants to become a cultural person. He has started studying recently.
The reason is that his eldest son is 5 years old and he can't answer the question.
After chatting with Randolph for a while, the rest time ended. Sun Ce and his teammates conducted the second 40-minute training class this morning, which was also the last preparation training today.
The day before yesterday, the Thunder just ended the Spurs' winning streak and increased their winning streak to 7 games. In the past two years, the Grizzlies, Bulls, and 76ers' three youth teams have risen. Now, the media have seen the Thunder start.
Performance, the Thunder team started to play.
The Thunder played very well at the beginning, averaging 107 points per game, and averaging more than 12 points per game. They are strong offense and strong defense.
...
After a day's preparation, at 8 pm, the game between the Grizzlies' away challenge to the Thunder began.
The Grizzlies lost the match between the two best young teams in the West!
82-93, the Grizzlies lost to the Thunder away and the three consecutive wins were over.
Westbrook scored 18 points, 7 rebounds and 10 assists, Durant scored 29 points and 6 rebounds, and Ellis, who came on as a substitute, scored 15 points.
On the Grizzlies, Sun Ce made 11 of 26 shots, including 2 of 9 three-pointers, plus 9 of 11 free throws. Although the score was higher than Durant and he scored 33 points, he lost the game.
The Grizzlies have done a good job in defense. Sun Ce got 14 rebounds, 4 blocks and 1 steal, proving that the Grizzlies have done a good job in defense. This is the first time the Thunder scored only 100 points in a single game this season.
But the Grizzlies' offense is not doing well.
In addition to 33 points, Sun Ce only had 4 assists, and Nash also only scored 6 points and 2 assists.
The Thunder did a very good job in defense. Under the leadership of Ibaka, who scored 8 points, 8 rebounds and 5 blocks, he cut off the connection between Sun Ce and his teammates well. Sun Ce played 37 minutes and shot 26 times. If counted,
The opponent made a foul on the free throw line 5 times. Sun Ce made a total of 31 attempts, but only 4 assists.
Obviously, through last year's playoff match and this season's observation and research on the Grizzlies, the Thunder found a way to deal with the Grizzlies!
...
...
I lost the first time I played against the Thunder in the new season. If I had to say how many blows it would have been against the Grizzlies... This is really not the case. I will definitely lose all the losses. The first time I played against it is even more difficult to control, compared to the Thunder
The team regards their Grizzlies as their biggest opponent, and the Grizzlies need to focus on guarding on more powerful enemies.
But the pressure will definitely get even greater!
Teams like the Thunder with two super geniuses have won consecutive victories, which is nothing special. In the 10-11 season, they won many consecutive victories like the Grizzlies, but after they really played and lost, the Thunder also
Become the Grizzlies' focus on the playoffs.
After the Grizzlies returned to the hotel after the game, the coaching staff held a post-match meeting and analyzed tonight's game.
Durant is improving every year, and this season has improved again. In the 10-11 season, Durant's shooting percentage has stabilized at about 46%. No matter how good or bad the start is, the final hit is almost the same.
In this way; last season, Durant's shooting percentage was stable at about 48%, and this season, it has steadily exceeded 50% of the shooting percentage. For example, tonight, he made 12 of 24 shots, and got one steadily
Beep.
So far this season, Durant averaged 4.2 assists per game, and Durant has improved a lot in terms of ball holding. However, although Sun Ce has improved to see Durant's ball control, he is only at b+ level and passes only at b+ level.
It also matches Durant's average of 4.2 assists but 3.8 turnovers.
The style of Westbrook has completely deviated. After the start of the new season, including the game against the Grizzlies, they averaged 1 assist and 2.9 steals per game!
Westbrook doesn't seem to care about scoring at all during regular time, playing well in four aspects: defensive rebounding, shrinking defense, stealing, and passing.
In terms of assists, Westbrook ranks third in the league after Paul of the Lakers and Rondo of the Clippers!
Rebounded 15th in the league and scored 18th in the league.
Westbrook is the only player in the league to rank in the top 20 in all three major statistics.
And at the critical moment, Westbrook dares to throw it away!
With Westbrook's style of play, based on teammates like Durant and Ellis who averaged 19 points at the start of the bench, Sun Ce felt that it was very suitable for the Thunder.
The main thing is that there is Durant, who is not afraid of Westbrook sticking to the ball, and has strong ability to hold the pot.
Ellis, playing in a strong team feels very different, and it seems to be back to the Warriors' record in the past two seasons of 2006-08, averaging 19 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists per game, becoming a pure scorer, dares to throw it from the outside,
Cut sharply, the first place in the basket pull-up...
Ellis is definitely not able to compare with Harden this season, but compared with Harden last season, Ellis is definitely stronger.
Ellis, who is stronger than Harden last season, plus the continued improvement of Dewey I's third young master, and the high-quality character player lineup created by the rookie contract of the fourth young master in the past few years... Sun Ce feels that the Thunder may really be
It will be their strongest opponent in the West.
However, after returning to the room after the meeting, Sun Ce's attention was no longer on how strong the Thunder are this season. During the game, there were no many events triggered as when they fought with the Thunder in the past three seasons. There was only one long-term
Event, and Westbrook had a triple-double.
Sun Ce has not had a triple-double so far this season. Westbrook has had a triple-double twice. Sun Ce doesn't care much about this.
But at the end of the game, Sun Ce received a system prompt!
"Kevin Durant won the victory when he first played against the host after the start of the new season. He was very excited and tried to reverse the fans' reputation and status of the host and his position this season, and in the minds of Scarlett Johnson.
View, Xiaobawang’s exclusive event: This woman is mine (3) triggered.”
After watching this incident again, Sun Ce didn't know how to complain about Durant.
Apart from being good at playing basketball, this guy is really no different from ordinary people, and he is even very timid among ordinary people.
