1732. The light of rice grains also shines (2nd monthly ticket)
Paul George's inner pride is beyond words to describe the championship of this season.
However, what he said made his teammates feel frizzy.
To be honest, they really think that this year's championship is theirs, so they don't think there is any problem with what Paul George said about "losing" the championship, but they never thought about the consequences of losing.
When Nowitzki was blackmailed in the year, being blackmailed in the eighth was actually nothing. The key is that they were the first in history to win 67!
As of the time of NBA history, there has never been a situation where the team won 67 wins or above and did not win the championship. The Mavericks not only failed to win the championship but also got blacklisted. This is what Nowitzki was criticized so much.
The key to the misery is that his blackmail is the most special blackmail in NBA history.
For example, Payton and Kemp, who were also blackmailed in the 93-94 season, remembered Mutombo, the star of the Black Eight team, and the Mavericks were blackmailed in the 94th season, and people remembered Nowitzki was blackmailed in the 94th season.
.
And the Grizzlies have now guaranteed a 73-win victory. If they don’t win the championship, the public opinion bombardment they will encounter will be 100% worse than Nowitzki back then!
What Paul George said sounded a wake-up call to his teammates who were a little drifting after winning 73 wins.
It really puts pressure on the teammates, and the more you think about it, the more you feel pressure!
However, at this time, coach Sun Ce and Coach Hollins did not feel that it was a problem to be stressed, but they needed pressure now.
73 wins, and even has a chance to win 74 wins and 75 wins. This record is too exaggerated. They have played 80 games, and now they have only lost 7 games, only the Hawks, Suns, Warriors, Heat, Thunder, 76
The People and the Mavericks have beaten them.
Such results will definitely have a proud mentality. If Sun Ce had not seen the runner-up of the 73-win total, he would have floated up.
But he knew, and knew that because of the emergence of the 73-win runner-up, the Warriors, which had three championships in four years, did not receive real respect from the media and even many fans.
Originally, in time and space, like the Lakers' three consecutive championships, two consecutive championships, and two consecutive championships of the Heat's two consecutive championships, although there are some criticisms, no one thinks they are not worthy of the championship. Even the black fans will give them these.
The champion has enough respect... Pure trolls are not fans.
But the Warriors, who have won three championships in four years, have not received corresponding respect.
The most critical link is that Sun Ce believes that it is not Durant's joining, but their 73-winning victory but their failure to win the championship, and everything is triggered by him.
Sun Ce did not want to be such a tragedy, so he chatted with coach Hollins for halftime. When he flew to New Orleans this morning, he was also communicating with several teammates with strong leadership.
Paul George, Pierce, Blake, Tony Allen, and Richard Jefferson, these teammates with strong leadership skills initially felt incredible when they first heard Sun Ce expressing his concerns. As MVP last season
Sun Ce can even lock in MVP in this season. Unexpectedly, after winning 73 wins, the calmest person is actually Sun Ce! He seems to have not regarded breaking the Bulls' historical record as an extremely important thing, just like him
As mentioned after the game, if the record is broken, it will be broken. People have been preparing for the playoffs since the record is broken.
This made Paul George and others sigh that being a successful player like Sun Ce is indeed unique!
They believe that perhaps it is precisely because of these unique things that Sun Ce can distinguish himself from ordinary superstars, surpass ordinary superstars, and become the superstar among superstars like O'Neal, Duncan, and Kobe!
...
When Paul George conveyed Sun Ce’s concerns to his teammates in the team meeting, the Grizzlies players also felt the same nervousness.
Really, if you lose the playoffs, your face will be greatly lost!
How much praise and cheers you get now, you will be trampled on at that time!
But this will not hurt their self-confidence, because they are really strong and they are worried about capsizing in the gutter.
After the idea of worrying about capsizing in the gutter, my proud mentality was naturally balanced.
This was what Sun Ce decided to do after discussing with several teammates with leadership skills. What they wanted was this effect.
After winning 73 wins, you still have to be proud, but you have to put pride aside in time. After completing the final goal of this season, you will regain your pride and spend the offseason after the end of the season.
In the afternoon, Sun Ce and his teammates began to carefully study the next two opponents. These two opponents are very strong and are likely to face each other in the playoffs. In the last game, we must understand the opponent's approaching playoffs.
strength.
In the last two games of the regular season, the opponent should have reached the playoffs.
The Grizzlies also need to take over these two opponents, see their own strengths well, understand their current state, and work hard to adjust their state to the best and prepare for the playoffs!
...
The day passed quickly, and at 6:40 pm on April 14th, after the warm-up, Sun Ce and his teammates entered the stadium together.
New Orleans was originally a tourist city. Now that infrastructure is gradually being restored, there are more tourists, and it has become one of the most popular tourist cities on the South Coast. The market here is already very good. Now the Pelicans have won 73 games.
The Grizzlies fought, and the market became extremely hot, and many celebrities came to watch the game.
Especially those celebrities who like basketball, they definitely don’t want to miss such a game.
Although it is not as exaggerated as being cited by the scalpers at home for the last game, the Grizzlies' front volleyball tickets were priced at $150,000, but it is enough for the Pelicans owner to make a big profit.
As long as the Grizzlies win, they will continue to set record games. Moreover, the Grizzlies will win two games in the regular season, and the Thunder will be even more difficult to play in the last game. Perhaps this game will become the highest winning game in a single season in NBA history.
The last victory of the record is naturally overwhelming.
When Sun Ce appeared on the opposite side, the fans were booing like tsunamis, and Irving, who was at the home team player, felt very uncomfortable.
But there is no way, the other party is Sun Ce!
Irving never thought that the most popular game in his career was a game where he could watch the opponent continue to set historical records.
In this game, even their home fans turned against each other. Perhaps because most of the tickets were sold to fans from other places, local fans only grabbed 40% of their own tickets, so fans on the scene appeared.
The situation of cheering for Sun Ce in unison.
But Irving still didn't accept it!
Regarding Sun Ce's strength, I saw with my own eyes that the historical record of 72 wins was broken by the team led by Sun Ce. Irving clearly understood the gap between him and Sun Ce. It was not as simple as two years of age difference. Irving knew that he was in love.
It was difficult for him to achieve what Sun Ce had achieved in his life.
This is helpless. For example, during O'Neal's peak period and Jordan's peak period, his opponents are hard to match.
But just give up like this?
Irving doesn't.
Indeed, during Jordan and O'Neal's peak period, and during the Magic Birds' bad boy era, many stars gave up competing with these two, even some superstars.
But these people gave up, and more people stood up to challenge these people in the ruling era.
Those who give up eventually become the background of history, while those who still strive to compete with these people in the ruling era are truly famous in the history of NBA, not only those superstars, but also many characters who have had flashing moments.
Player.
The reason why you can keep your name and make old fans remember it and treat it as a topic of conversation for young fans is because they have not given up on their competitive spirit.
Moreover, in this era, information and communication technology is becoming more and more developed. In this era, any game will be archived with videos. It will no longer be like the videotape era in the past. Even the videotape videos can't be found.
Deep in this era, Owen doesn't feel depressed. There are rulers in any era. He has clearly known that he has nothing to do with the ruler. Therefore, he wants to work hard to compete with Sun Ce... to compete with all the strong,
Even if he can't be the most dazzling one, he still wants to compete with the most dazzling one!
However, after the game started at 7 pm, although Irving worked very hard, he encountered the Grizzlies who were all in the playoffs, just like Jennings. He couldn't beat him!
The Grizzlies have had enough experience in the previous few matches with the Pelicans. They have experienced a cool touch and a period of adjustment. Then they competed with the Timberwolves, Kings and Pistons.
The weak teams have played their form in the fight. By now, the Grizzlies have gradually entered their best state!
Relying on Sun Ce's 33 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks and 3 steals, relying on Paul George's 17 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, Randolph's 14 points, Klay Thompson's 16 points, and the efforts of other players, Gray
The Bears beat Irving, who scored 29 points and 7 assists, and Anthony Davis, who scored 24 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, and defeated the Pelicans 103-95 without any danger.
The Lions won 12 consecutive victories!
74 wins! The Grizzlies once again improved the highest NBA win in a single season in a single season!
On the other hand, after the Pelicans lost to the Grizzlies, their record turned into 50 wins and 31 losses, losing the position of competing with the Jazz to be seventh in the Western Conference, and they need to win the game in the last game to have a chance and explore.
The players compete for eighth place in the West.
Moreover, the Trail Blazers have to lose in the last game of the regular season so that the Pelicans can beat the Trail Blazers, which are currently 50 wins and 31 losses, because they only won one game when they played against the Trail Blazers in the regular season.
The victory or defeat is at a disadvantage.
On Sun Ce's side, the final whistle sounded. Seeing that his team's record had become 74 wins and 7 losses, it was fake to say that he was not excited, but at this moment, the system prompt came again!
Chapter completed!
