Four Hundred and Eighty-Nine. There Are No Gentlemen Like Defensive Warriors!

Maintaining the close relationship between the two is what Curry has to do now.

But he's not good at this, so... just like when he was a teammate, he does whatever comes to his mind.

Not deliberately trying to please is a matter of self-esteem.

Logo asked him to do something, and he felt that he could just do his best and not force it.

Although this matter was important to their team,... for him personally, it was more important to make friends with Sun Ce normally.

Because what is the future of the Warriors... Curry doesn't really care now because he is not playing so happily.

Although the team had many communications with him privately and made promises.

But now the Warriors have not done anything substantive, and everything for the Warriors is still centered around Ellis.

Curry still needs to wait. Fortunately, he has a star father who taught him patience. He waited patiently for three years in college. After entering the NBA, he was able to calm down and wait for the team's plan.

After deliberately making trouble with Sun Ce in the morning, and taking revenge for the fact that Sun Ce was often angry with him as a neighbor, Curry stayed at Sun Ce's house... and played video games together.

Playing games is indeed a happy thing, but Curry always felt a little puzzled. After playing for more than an hour, Curry couldn't help it anymore and asked: "Noah, aren't you going to the gym?"

"Why go to the arena?" Sun Ce was confused: "Isn't the game fun?"

"Aren't you preparing for the game? We are going to play tonight, and we already had a tactical meeting for you when we arrived yesterday!" Curry asked.

"Uh..." Sun Ce blinked at Curry: "Do I still need to prepare to beat you?"

Curry really wants to throw the controller and leave!

I'm so angry!

The key person's words make sense. Their possibility of winning... is too slim! The Grizzlies are not the kind of team that can be defeated by outside shooting. The Magic are a three-point team. They were defended and scored 7 of 27 three-pointers...the Warriors basically don't have the strength to compete with the Grizzlies.

So controlled!

Watching Sun Ce continue to prepare for the next level,

Curry doesn't know what to say, so he shouldn't mention basketball-related things!

"Playing games, right? I'll play with you! Spend all your electricity bills!"

…

…

At noon, Sun Ce called Yi Jianlian and went to have lunch with Curry.

Although Yi Jianlian doesn't talk much and seems to be as withdrawn as before with the Bucks and Nets, there are still some changes.

For example, he rarely attended his teammates’ meals before. Now when someone invites him to eat or go to a bar, he will still participate. Although he is still very self-disciplined and does not drink or eat junk food, he will not let his teammates offend him like before. I feel withdrawn to the point of being rude.

In the afternoon, the three of them came to the arena together and separated. Sun Ce and Yi Jianlian came to the home team's training ground. After resting for a while, Tony Allen spontaneously organized a defensive drill for his teammates for the night's game against the Warriors.

They discussed and simulated defense together for almost half an hour, and then they disbanded and rested or played games or practiced shooting, waiting for the evening game.

However, Sun Ce was left alone by Tony Allen.

Tony Allen stared at Sun Ce for a while and then said: "Noah, your defensive habits are too bad. You need to make some adjustments. It seems that you need me to teach you about this..."

"Because defensive master Tony Allen took the initiative to teach the host defense, he humbly learned the triggering of the plate."

"Watt?" Sun Ce didn't expect it to be on Tony Allen!

In other words, the boss determined by the system is not just the kind of boss he thinks, but the leader on the defensive end is also the "boss" in some aspects. Are there even more types of "boss"?

Like Tony Allen, he may be the boss on the defensive end that everyone on the team admires from the bottom of their hearts.

Maybe in the future there will be a "boss" that the whole team admires in other aspects, such as a teammate whose offensive organizing ability is admired by everyone in the team, such as a mid-range shot or three-pointer that the whole team admires?

Sun Ce couldn't help but say "Watt", and Tony Allen thought Sun Ce was asking a question because he was questioned on the defensive end.

Tony Allen was not angry at this and continued: "Noah, I know you are not convinced. Your defensive skills are very good from outside. Your mobility and ability to interfere with singles shots are very good. The coach has personally taught you defense. , he is also very satisfied with your defense, I know this, but your defense is too soft, you need to make better use of your body, don't just think about interfering with the shot..."

After hearing Tony Allen's words, Sun Ce immediately withdrew his attention and studied the issue of "boss" later.

Sun Ce respects Tony Allen from the bottom of his heart, because he is indeed a good senior and good teammate who is extremely serious about defense, and he also truly cares about his teammates.

This is not only the impression that Sun Ce remembers that Tony Allen was highly praised in the Grizzlies, but also the respect he has for Tony Allen after personal contact in just over a month.

Even when he was on the bench, even when he played 17 or 18 minutes in a game, Tony Allen never slacked off and was not afraid of his teammates being dissatisfied with him. He only thought about the team...

Sun Ce remembers that the first retired jersey the Grizzlies will hang up in the future will be Tony Allen’s No. 9!

Tony Allen has dedicated the best years of his career to the Grizzlies, and he has dedicated everything to the Grizzlies wholeheartedly.

The Celtics are actually unwilling to pay 3 million to such a player. Isn't this a player who perfectly fits what Anji wants: "You must contribute everything to the team, but the team can sell you at any time, but you still can't feel dissatisfied"?

Tony Allen took Sun Ce to the edge of the court and sat down, and slowly talked with Sun Ce about the defensive mentality. They talked for a long time... until the warm-up started at four o'clock in the afternoon...

…

At 5:20 in the afternoon, Sun Ce entered the stadium with his teammates.

A game that did not attract much attention also started at the same time as the game between the Heat and the Denver Nuggets, which had lost three consecutive games in the beginning.

Teams like the Heat lose all the time and have it broadcast live across the country. James and Wade are so awesome when they come together as a team.

Sun Ce chatted with Reggie Williams on the opposite bench for a while, and was very emotional about Reggie Williams' experience.

When Sun Ce first entered the NBA, he had no impression of Reggie Williams and thought he was an undrafted player. As a result, Reggie Williams averaged 13 points per game during their partnership. After he was traded, the Warriors' offense was almost indiscriminate. Now, Reggie Williams is playing as the sixth man, and his average points per game have increased to 15 points. However, after just one month of playing, this undrafted draft pick with great ability suffered a serious injury. He ruptured his Achilles tendon and lost most of his sports. ability.

They made a successful comeback this season, but they no longer have the strength of last season and dropped from B-level to C-level.

Although he is only 24 years old, he is not too old and there may still be room for improvement. However, after suffering an injury such as a ruptured Achilles tendon, his athletic talent has been greatly reduced, and it is basically impossible to return to the ranks of B-level players.

The NBA is a very physical place. As a 198cm small forward with no physical advantage, Sun Ce knows that Reggie Williams will probably have no chance to become a starting-level player in the future.

At half past five, the game between the Grizzlies and Warriors began.

The Warriors sent out a lineup of Curry, Ellis, Anthony Parker, Dorell White, David Lee, four juniors... and even five juniors.

Their new head coach Mark Jackson has his own idea. Although others can't understand it now, he is going to do it this way, using the 201cm White to play the power forward and the 206cm David Lee to play the center.

For the Grizzlies, the double point guard combination of Sun Ce + Conley continues to appear, and the frontcourt trio of Gay, Yi Jianlian, and Gasol will start.

Last year, Gasol, who weighed more than 130 kilograms, often enjoyed rest. This season, it is Randolph's turn, with his weight soaring to more than 130 kilograms, to enjoy such treatment.

There is a precedent of Gasol's slow recovery due to obesity after being injured last year, so the Grizzlies have to be careful with Randolph.

The management and coaching staff are also out of ideas. After changing the team image, the two insiders, nicknamed the "Panda Combination" by fans, have a bad habit. They like to stay up late, sleep in, and eat... all easily. Fat.

But 29-year-old Randolph, 26-year-old Gasol... this will be the team's core inside combination for at least the next four years, and this combination ranks among the best in the league!

For example, when a baby is cared for.

Fortunately, the team has enough personnel this year.

After the game started, the Grizzlies started playing hard again.

Against a team like the Warriors that still has no tactical discipline, the Grizzlies used iron-blooded defensive tactics very cautiously.

Sun Ce's defense was more oppressive today, and Curry felt that he was being targeted by his roommate again... He remembered that Sun Ce's defense was not like this before, and it was not like this even when he played against the Kings yesterday!

Sun Ce... just wants to improve his defensive awareness and achieve the defensive enthusiasm that Tony Allen is satisfied with.

As long as you have the opportunity to play, there is the possibility of improving yourself.

Technology depends on training, but to transform technology into strength, you need to be given playing time and ball rights in official games!

This is especially reflected in the two aspects of offense and organization of offense.

But if you are not a player with extraordinary physical fitness and natural defensive awareness, defense also needs games to practice.

For example, Sun Ce is now the focus of Tony Allen's care.

At the beginning, Tony Allen did not teach Sun Ce defensive skills. This was very different from how he and coach Hollins taught Sun Ce defensive skills.

Tony Allen wants Sun Ce to get rid of his too "gentle" defensive habits and defend cleanly. Tony Allen admires Sun Ce very much, but being polite... No player who gets the first or second defense is polite. !
