Three Hundred and Forty-Two. Bloody Madison!

After checking in at the Four Seasons Hotel on Fifth Avenue and 59th Street in New York, the three first- and second-year players, Sun Ce, Gasol Jr., and Jordan Jr., put away their things and went to the iconic building in New York——Madison Square Garden Take a look outside.

This is the most special away game in the entire NBA in Sun Ce's mind, even more special than playing the Lakers away.

This is the third time for Sun Ce to come here. The first time was in the draft, and the second time was when he was still in the Warriors. He came here with Curry to interact with Tony Douglas and Wilson Chandler. pecking game.

Sun Ce didn't think there was anything in the so-called holy land of basketball, but after waiting for 30 teams to "flop" in the lounge of this arena in June last year, this arena became a bit special in his heart.

He finally understands why every NBA player has a hoops mecca plot...that is, a plot to come here and play well as a visiting team player.

As for playing here as the home team... Sun Ce thinks it's better to forget it, thinking that as a Knicks player, he is ready to be abused at any time in 41 home games every year.

That feeling is scary just thinking about it.

Just like most tourists, Sun Ce and his party took pictures outside Madison Square Garden, and then went back to the hotel.

As for things like going in and walking around... They said they were tourists, and they were going to play a game here tomorrow, so they couldn't see anything.

Just to take a look, Jordan fell to the second round because of the small green house here, Sun Ce was selected in surprise without expecting it, Gasol didn't come here to participate in the draft, this is his This is the third time in my life that I came to this arena. The first time was when my brother was drafted in 2011. The second time was when I came here to play an away game last season. The third time is now.

...

After resting at the hotel for one night, Sun Ce came to the Big Apple City and completed the Nash training method as usual.

On the morning of the 10th, Sun Ce and the team came to the visiting team's training ground at Madison Square Garden to prepare for tonight's game.

It’s good to play here. You don’t even need to rent a hotel meeting room. The visiting team’s training ground provides a meeting room.

When the tactical meeting was held at ten o'clock in the morning, Sun Ce felt... the coaching staff was terrible!

This tactical arrangement is to beat the Knicks team, which is already in chaos, to death!

The tactical layout and a tactical training session in the morning. After lunch, the Grizzlies held a pre-match press conference.

Unlike the last time Sun Ce came here, this time Sun Ce is the absolute focus.

He scored a triple-double of 37+10+15 against the Knicks on February 28 ten days ago. Today's Madison Square Garden is Sun Ce's home game!

There was a large group of journalists, American journalists outnumbered Chinese journalists. The Chinese journalists were already surprised last time, and this time there were even more reporters. The press corps was surprised.

Sun Ce seems to be more popular in the United States than Yao Ming in the United States!

At least when playing the New York Knicks!

The home reporter was the first to ask questions. The reporter from the New York Times, who has always had a bad relationship with Knicks players, asked, "Come to this arena again, Noah, do you like it here?"

"I like this place very much. The feeling of playing here is always different." Sun Ce replied politely.

"So you want to join the Knicks to replace their perimeter core?"

The question was straightforward, and Sun Ce smiled and said, "I still want to win."

After a burst of laughter, another reporter asked: "The last time you got a large triple-double, will today be the same as the outstanding performance in the previous game?"

Although the Grizzlies suffered a two-game losing streak, Sun Ce's performance in these two games was remarkable, and he played well personally.

Sun Ce thought about the tactical arrangement of the coaching staff... and said: "We will play hard, as long as my personal performance is helpful to the team, my personal data is not important..."

The interview was so harmonious. From the beginning to the end, the New York reporter attacked the Knicks. Everyone thought it was normal, including the Chinese reporters who had worked in the United States for some years.

It is more normal for New York reporters to praise Sun Ce.

But after the game started at 7 o'clock in the evening, it was not so harmonious...

...

Ten days ago, they played against the Knicks. The Grizzlies failed to defend the opponent. They relied on the running and bombing team led by Sun Ce to fight against the opponent. Relying on their own running and bombing core, the Grizzlies defeated the Knicks with offense.

In fact, before that game, the Grizzlies coaching staff was prepared to defend against the opponent, but they won the Bobcats the day before, and temporarily decided to let Gasol rest for another game. Gay and Anthony Parker also rested. There is no defense system at all.

But this time is different!

The Grizzlies brought back the defensive preparations that they had prepared to win the game by abuse of vegetables. The starting lineup played with all members, and played the strongest defense of the Grizzlies!

Conley, Battier, Gay, Randolph, Gasol Jr., this lineup can beat the running team!

Battier, Gay, and Conley intercepted the opponent's counterattack players, and Randolph was able to keep up with Harrington's speed, forcing the Knicks into a positional battle, and then carried out a strangled positional battle defense.

From the very beginning of the game, the Grizzlies felt like they were going to torture the Knicks to death. It didn't matter whether their offense was good or not. First of all, they had to give the Knicks players a physical confrontation to consume the opponent's touch.

When the lineup of Sun Ce, Anthony Parker, Gay, Cook, and Jordan came on the field in the middle of the first quarter, the Grizzlies only scored 13 points, and the Knicks... only scored 7 points in 7 minutes!

Seeing this score, Sun Ce had an illusion, as if he was using the Knicks as the ultimate poor man's version of the Mavericks or the Suns to test defensive tactics.

The Suns still had to run and shoot in the starting stage, but if running and shooting didn't work at the beginning, they replaced the inside combination of Stoudemire and Lopez Jr. to play positional warfare.

Due to the ongoing system adjustment on the Mavericks side, the adjustment is not good for the time being this season, and most of the time they play fast offense with Kidd as the starting point.

After the official timeout ended, Sun Ce put aside those weird thoughts and went on the court with four teammates.

When Sun Ce played, the Knicks players felt that the sky had fallen.

The pick-and-roll combination that the opponent can run and blast better than them is coming!

Originally, the Knicks didn't play well offensively today. They were tortured by the Grizzlies' starting lineup and lost their outside touch. Seeing Sun Ce, a rookie who beat them to get a large triple-double ten days ago, played even more chaotically.

The offense is to shoot from the outside, and the defense is to block Sun Ce and Jr. Jordan.

Guy's cut is as simple as it needs to be. Take the initiative to lead the defender towards Jordan, and Jordan also cooperates with the brutal cut. He takes away the defender at once, and Guy can cut loose. .

If the opponent shrinks the inside line and defends from the outside line, Sun Ce will pass Anthony Parker and Brian Cook on the two wings. Cook got some playing time after the All-Star Weekend and performed well. He played 7 games and averaged 100 goals per game. 1.3 three-pointers, the veteran is more stable at this time.

At the end of the first quarter, the Grizzlies scored 29 points, only 13 points in the first seven minutes, and 16 points in the next five minutes!

Sun Ce feels that the other party is really stupid...why block him?

Sun Ce only scored 1 point in half a quarter, 1 of 2 free throws, but 4 assists in 5 minutes...

Sun Ce felt that his assist efficiency was so high against the Knicks!

The Knicks, on the other hand, only scored 13 points after the first quarter, and almost scored 1 point in 1 minute.

After the start of the second quarter, the Knicks did not have any tendency to recover. At one time, they had 5 consecutive offenses without sports goals or free throws. They only scored 6 points in the first 5 minutes of the second quarter. A wave of 14 to 6 was played.

43 to 19, the Grizzlies opened the point difference to 24 points in one fell swoop!

At this time, the Knicks finally slowly regained some of the touch that was tortured by the Grizzlies in the starting stage. Before the official timeout, they scored two three-pointers in a row, chasing the score to 25 to 45, which was exactly 20 points. , The Grizzlies were stopped, and the Grizzlies called a timeout to enter the official timeout.

Originally, the Knicks thought they were going to start a counterattack, but the Grizzlies switched back to the starting lineup...

The Grizzlies coaching staff is very serious today. One reason is that they want to win a big victory in New York. They come here once a year and use a big victory to boost morale.

Second... Sun Ce guessed it, the coaching staff of the Grizzlies is treating the Knicks as a bankrupt version of the Suns or the Mavericks for training!

The Knicks felt good, so they used the starting lineup to grind their positions. The Knicks felt cold, so Sun Ce led the rotation to widen the gap...

Sun Ce sympathizes with the Knicks players!

Really sympathetic!

So he doesn't score anymore. Every time he rushes in through the pick-and-roll, he just restrains the defense and passes the ball to his teammates. How compassionate, how selfless, how loving...

In the first quarter, Sun Ce scored 1 point, 1 rebound and 4 assists. In the second quarter, he scored 2 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists. In the half, he scored 3 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists. The Grizzlies led the Knicks by 29 points 59-30 at halftime !

After putting the Knicks to only 7 points in the 7 minutes of the first quarter, the Grizzlies' starting lineup created an even greater tragedy. In the last 6 minutes of the second quarter, the Knicks only scored 5 points...

The massacre is in progress!

...

From the first quarter of the game, D'Antoni sat on the scene blushing and stopped yelling.

The Knicks players were not united, and they completely collapsed after halftime.

Sun Ce was replaced in the third quarter and played for 4 minutes. The Knicks blocked him from scoring and double-teamed him. Coach Hollins saw that Sun Ce did not score in double figures. After Sun Ce got the fifth rebound , and replaced him.

Sun Ce played 16 minutes and scored 5 points, 5 rebounds and 12 assists.

However, even if the Grizzlies replaced most of the main players starting from the fifth minute of the third quarter, leaving only Conley and Jordan Jr. with Marcus Williams, Sam Young, and Cook on the court, the point difference Still not shrinking, the Knicks have collapsed!

The Grizzlies don't want to continue to widen the point difference, but there is no way, the opponent can't make a shot, so they have to make a shot if they have a chance to make a shot! Even Marcus Williams can make a shot, and the opponent's outsiders are all incarnations of Harden... No, it's the Uchiha family, standing in front of the Grizzlies players and stretching out their hands symbolically...

The main reason is that the Knicks don't even have the desire to make shots, even the desire to score has collapsed!

When the final whistle sounded, the score was fixed at...

A difference of 51 points!

The Grizzlies slaughtered the Knicks, breaking the biggest point difference in a single game this season!

Coincidentally, the biggest point difference before was also related to a certain No. 3 player of the Grizzlies!
