1693. Snowballing Disadvantage (Part 2

At present, the scores of the stars of each team in the league are averaged. Even if it is a team like the Warriors with a pair of superstars in the backcourt, the average scores of Curry and Harden have also tended to decline, from the beginning of the season

The two averaged nearly 60 points per game, down to about 53 points per game.

Currently, Curry is averaging 27.1 points per game, while Harden is averaging 25.5 points per game.

Two players rose against the trend. One was Durant from the Thunder, who averaged 28.2 points per game at the beginning of the season to a maximum average of 29.1 points. He only returned to the average game after the game against the Lakers.

28.9 points.

The other is Sun Ce. After the Christmas Game and the game with the Suns, it has risen to an average of 29.7 points per game!

In this era, when two or three players emerge, the scoring champion is basically sure to appear on these players.

Although Durant is currently 0.8 points behind Sun Ce, he averages score per game, but he is not very good at playing at this stage. As long as Durant can score 50 points in a game, he can directly overtake.

Even if Curry has been able to reach the first place if he has scored 40+ in a few games in recent years, he can still score 40+.

But Curry is not the kind of character that destroys the team's stability in order to compete for personal honor. At the beginning of the season, he had the opportunity to compete with Durant and Sun Ce for the scoring champion, but after the record began to decline, he began to actively adjust his playing style and improve his entire game.

Only by cooperating with the team, can the situation stabilize.

However, there is no doubt that Curry does have the ability to hit the scoring champion. Since being selected as the All-Star starter last season, Curry has become a well-deserved superstar in people's minds.

On December 29, 2014, the Grizzlies came to San Francisco the morning after they finished playing against the Suns. Next, the two teams will play two games in a row.

Sun Ce vs Harden, Paul George vs Iguodala, Klay Thompson vs Curry... These two super powerful outside trio matches, and they played two games in a row, and the NBA official is pushing two

After the team's consecutive New Year's Eve matches, the NBA official website homepage has been promoting this set of matches, and NBA official Twitter and major TV stations have also been promoting them.

After checking in at a hotel in San Francisco, I had lunch and arrived at the Oakland Oracle Arena at 1:30 pm to prepare for the next two focus battles.

Sun Ce and others are preparing for the next two consecutive matches based on the importance of the playoffs, because they only played 3 times in the regular season this season with the Warriors. The Grizzlies won once before, and these two games will determine the two.

The advantages and disadvantages of the team's regular season matches are that the Grizzlies can establish the confidence advantage of winning and losing in the regular season matches as long as they win one game. Of course, if possible, Sun Ce and others naturally want to win both games.

This time Curry did not come to Sun Ce to go to Sun Ce’s hot pot restaurant for free, although he found that the sesame sauce dipping dish could resist the attack of peppers, protect the chrysanthemums, and eat as much as possible.

However, this showdown is very important. The Warriors are also heading for the championship this season. It is time for them to compete for the championship. They finally have an advantage in the regular season when they play against the Grizzlies. Therefore,

You have to devote yourself to preparing for the war.

...

A day passed in a flash, and at 8 pm on December 30, the last game of the two teams this year started.

The Grizzlies had a round break when they played against the Suns, just for tonight's game.

The five all-star-level stars of the Grizzlies started together and launched a triangle offense!

However, in the first game, the Grizzlies fell into a fierce battle!

Drummond Green and Tabitt did a very good job of close range and defense at the basket. The key is that the Grizzlies did not defend themselves. Curry scored two three-pointers at the beginning of the game, which led to Harden

And Drummond Green can easily create cake opportunities for Harrison Barnes and Tabitt.

The advantage is like snowballing, and the Warriors' advantages are getting bigger and bigger!

When the half was over, the Warriors led the Grizzlies 59-51 with 12 points and 6 assists in the half, Curry scored 3 three-pointers in the half, and Harrison Barnes' 15 points.

8 points to enter the intermission.

Finally reached the first half of the third quarter, Sun Ce and Klay Thompson started to rush and led the team to a 12-6 wave. During this period, the two were making three-pointers, and the score was scored only by two of them.

I chased 63 to 65, only two points behind.

At this point, the game was in a tense stage. The Grizzlies successfully relied on the control of the Splash Brothers to score a climax and overtake the score at the end of the third quarter.

But in the middle of the fourth quarter, Harden stood up and scored 13 points in the last 8 minutes. The Warriors scored a 22-18 wave in the last 8 minutes to secure the victory!

The Grizzlies once overtook 5 points when they finished the third quarter, but Curry and Drummond Green scored two three-pointers in a row at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and scored 11 at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

By 3, the score was overtaken by 3 points. Finally, relying on the wave of Harden leading the team to play 22-18, the Warriors defeated the Grizzlies 118-111, ending the Grizzlies' three consecutive wins!

...

Being beaten to the point of cracking!

After the game, Sun Ce looked at the data on the other side and Curry scored only 5 three-pointers tonight, not too many. Curry averaged 5.2 three-pointers per game this season.

But Sun Ce saw Curry's three-point effect!

The Warriors took the lead in the first half. Curry scored two three-pointers in the first quarter and one three-pointer in the second quarter. The Grizzlies could surpass the score in the third quarter and the most 5-point lead was Curry's entire first.

Even the open three-pointer was not included in the third quarter, but Curry had two more three-pointers in the fourth quarter, one was the Grizzlies after the official timeout in the fourth quarter.

When the team was about to start, Curry made a three-pointer against Klay Thompson, which directly hit the Grizzlies' counterattack.

Although Curry only scored 24 points in the whole game, his role... Sun Ce felt that it was no lower than Sun's 32 points!

Curry scored 24 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists tonight, Harden scored 31 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists, Drummond Green scored 7 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, and Harrison Barnes' 26 points, Ed.

Godarda had 9 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, Tabit had 12 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks... Looking at the Warriors' data, Sun Ce knew that the reason why the Warriors' offense played so well tonight was that they saw through their grays

The Bears' defensive strategy, the Warriors didn't play the team tonight!

The Warriors will be Curry, Harden, Harrison Barnes, Iguodala, Drummond Green, and Tabit tonight, and the six players scored 109 points.

.

After carefully looking at the opponent's playing schedule, the Warriors only used 9 players tonight, among which Azeri played only 6 minutes and only had 3 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal. In other words, Curry was on the outside.

Harden, Harrison Barnes, Iguodala rotated four people, Drummond Green, Tabit, Spets, Gerald Wallace, and there are only these 8 players in the interior.

Score!

During the game, Sun Ce did not see this situation. Because the game was too fierce, neither team completely opened up the gap. The side with the most lead was only 8 points. They have been trying to find ways to deal with the opponent's attack and find ways.

Defeat the opponent's defense.

Now I know that the opponent actually played the 8-player rotation of the Suns in the Nash era.

After analyzing it, Sun Ce felt that Steve Cole was worthy of working with D'Antoni for so long, and he had a lot of tricks. He relied on his home court and took the lead and 8 people were rotated!

If you think about it carefully, this is a player who dared to make Durant come back temporarily without healing his serious injury and let Durant play for 9 minutes in the second quarter and fuck Durant until his Achilles tendon ruptured.

When the time is "right" and I feel "having a chance", this guy can do something like this to kill the stars.

And, indeed, the Warriors played very well!

After this game, the Warriors' record became 28 wins and 7 losses, and the Grizzlies' record became 32 wins and 3 losses, and the gap is still so big. Both teams ended with 2 wins and 1 loss in 2014.

.

...

On December 31, the last day of 2014, Sun Ce and his teammates came to the Oracle Arena early to discuss the first game next year.

The Grizzlies' rotation yesterday was actually quite timely. Sun Ce scored 32 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 block and 3 steals. Randolph played very well last night and scored 25 points. Coach Hollins used more.

Randolph and Larry Sanders' inside combination to deal with the unfavorable scoring situation when they can't defend, so they kept keeping the score tight and even overtook for a while.

But! The Grizzlies, who relied on team attacks to taste the sweetness of the Warriors before, relied on triangular offenses to take advantage of the Warriors, were unable to reverse this mentality in time and adjust to the

The model of fighting against the stars has suffered a loss.

After learning from the pain, several people came up with an idea.

At 9 a.m., the coaching team held a tactical meeting, discussed with the team members, and began to prepare for training.

There was no training in the afternoon, so I rested and watched the video of the Warriors last night and the recent game.

The Warriors are a team with the ability to win 65 wins, and they are not allowed to be careless, not to mention that they just lost a game, so they must be as prepared as possible in all aspects.

In the afternoon, Sun Ce and Curry accepted an exclusive interview with the imperial court station. There was no one else, just them, because they basically locked in the starting positions of the two All-Stars in the West.

The two have been incompatible since they met, and this time they ignored each other during the 25-minute interview, but they still recorded New Year's greetings together.

The time for the day to prepare for the battle flies, and the new year arrives as scheduled.

Come January 1, 2015!

In the morning, Sun Ce did not go to the stadium as soon as possible, but went to pick up his parents, Zuge, Lily Collins, Nanny, and the three cubs.
Chapter completed!
