On the evening of February 17, Sun Ce returned to Memphis with four teammates who participated in the All-Star Weekend. The first game day in the second half of the season came.

In the middle of the season before the All-Star Weekend, everyone was exhausted. In fact, physical problems were only ranked second. The psychological fatigue caused by the long schedule and record pressure were more critical.

However, during this week, those who participate in the All-Star Weekend can go to play with many Dallas stars to relax and relax; those who do not participate in the All-Star Weekend can also go to watch; those who do not want to play can also spend time with their family at home or go out

travel……

This week is too important for the Grizzlies. After a week, they got back together and their teammates were full of vitality!

But as soon as they came back, the Grizzlies ushered in the most brutal schedule in the second half of the season, and the seventh consecutive devils in the first half of the season were even more terrifying schedule...

8 fights in 11 days, four back-to-backs in a row!

The good news is the first game, and the Grizzlies will be more prepared. During this period, the coaching staff has been staying in Memphis to prepare for the second half of the season. On the last day of the 16th All-Star Weekend, some went out.

The players who played have also returned to Memphis to prepare for the game.

After Sun Ce, Randolph, Conley, Guy, and Gasol Jr. returned to Memphis, the coaching team, who were ready, led the team members to prepare in an orderly manner. The tactical meeting and tactical training were carried out in a very good manner in the morning.

OK, although there are some fine-tuning of the tactics, it is only a tactical adjustment to some of the problems that arise in the first half of the season.

Whether it can be adjusted properly is one thing. The coaching staff has worked very hard, after all, tactics are just tactics.

...

Break after lunch.

Sun Ce and Randolph were walking in the stadium and secretly observed it when they passed the visiting team training ground.

The other party is very serious too!

Back at the lounge of the home team's training ground, Randolph sighed: "We were practicing dancing together two days ago, and today we are the enemy."

Stoudemire and Nash came to Memphis with the Grizzlies and the Suns arrived yesterday evening, meeting with Nash at the airport.

I was having a lot of fun chatting at that time, but today I am the opponent.

Sun Ce looked at Randolph strangely: "Zac, you actually feel tears when you are crying? You are not doing anything today."

"When you are moved, the dew of flowers is like tears? Noah, you are educated!" Randolph praised in surprise.

What kind of brain circuit is this! The black line at the end of Sun Ce.

But today's sun...it doesn't look very important.

The Suns also attach great importance to the second half of the season. Their record at the beginning of the season was too poor, which made them lose the opportunity to compete for first place with the Lakers and can only compete for second place with the Mavericks.

In fact, the Suns and the Lakers are only 4 wins away, while the Mavericks and the Lakers are only 3 wins away.

However, if the Western Conference team loses two or three more games, the impact will be very great!

For example, the Grizzlies have two consecutive wins, but they can no longer reach the top four in the Western Conference before the All-Stars weekend. It is because of the huge impact of 4 wins and 6 losses at the beginning, and the Lakers started with 8 consecutive wins.

Fortunately, the coaching staff did not put any pressure on them for the remaining 8 games in February.

At the tactical meeting in the morning, the coaching staff emphasized that there are only three opponents that must be won, the Raptors, Nets, and Knicks. These three teams are not playoff teams.

As long as you can win three games, you will reach the passing line that the coaching staff expects.

The other five opponents, the Suns, Heat, Lakers, Hawks, and Bobcats, can win one game even if it exceeds expectations.

In fact, if the schedule is not so tight, the Grizzlies and Hawks are almost the same strength, and the Grizzlies are even stronger than the Heat and Bobcats.

But four back-to-backs are completely different.

Who made the Grizzlies be treated as the bottom of the fish when the league sets the schedule in the summer? Who knew that the Grizzlies could get Randolph, and Randolph became a good person.

Later, Tabit + Mayo exchanged for Sun Ce, Bathir, Jordan Jr., Anthony Parker, and the Grizzlies formed an eight-player core rotation. With the real playoff strength, it was even more unpredictable.

However, the Grizzlies coaching staff have always had their own ideas, such as playing the Suns tonight...

...

...

At 5:15 pm, the Grizzlies' home match against the Suns is about to begin, and the players of both teams have entered the court.

Coach Nash and Coach Gentry wanted to vomit blood when they saw each other's lineup!

"Don't you guys want to start a good start in the first game after the All-Star Weekend? What does that mean?"

The Grizzlies sent Sun Ce, Guy, Carol, Sam Young and Jordan Jr.

Conley, Bathir, Gasol Jr. and Randolph were sitting behind the home team bench in suits.

Nash found Sun Ce with a pale face: "What are you doing? So many people take turns to rest?"

“Uh… there will be news after the game. Let me tell you just how miserable we are. Zach sprained his butt when he danced;

Mark went to Dallas for a week, and when he came back, the flowers at home were withered and his heart hurt;

Sean has been practicing piano hard recently, and you know he can't play for a few years, so he wants to prepare for finding a job after retirement, so he accidentally hurt his fingers;

Mike drank all the wine hidden in the lounge last night because he was afraid that we would steal his wine. He was hangover…”

Hearing Sun Ce's words, Nash wanted to hit someone: "What kind of weird injuries are these? It sounds like Noah, you're talking nonsense!"

The Suns held an interim meeting last night to discuss today's game. They felt that an emerging playoff team like the Grizzlies would definitely want to promote morale in the first game after the All-Star Weekend, for the next schedule

A good start in half.

So the Suns players and coaching team studied together until midnight. They came to the FedEx Arena at 10 o'clock this morning to prepare for the game. They also saw that the Grizzlies' training ground was very hot, so they trained harder

, very focused on preparing for the battle.

But the Grizzlies coaching staff have always dared to think and do it. In the 10-11 season, they deliberately lost from the sixth place in the West to the eighth place in the West, not to mention the first game after an All-Star weekend.

As for the Grizzlies' tactical training... it's not for the Suns, but for the Raptors who will be back-to-back from the away game tomorrow. Although the Raptors are not a playoff team, they also have a winning rate of nearly 50%. Currently, they have 23 wins and 28 losses.

You have to prepare carefully.

As for what Nash said about Sun Ce being nonsense... he had no choice! Randolph told the coaching staff that Sun Ce was educated, and the reason for his injury made Sun Ce think of it, and Sun Ce could only think of this...

ps: Sorry, it was late. When I opened the background at 4 o'clock and was about to write, I saw a prompt and was asked to review the full text of all the books by myself. The old books could only be placed at the back. I first filtered all the new book.

The content started to write new chapters, which took an hour to delay.

After get off work, I have to read the whole text carefully and review it all. The update will be around 9 o'clock in the evening. I will write it first and then start the review.
Chapter completed!
