"Yes, that's right, I'll go directly to the airport with the team!" Ruan Erniu sat on the bus and talked to Dr. Han on the other end of the phone, "No way, the plane and flight have been changed, and we can only go to Utah in advance." ”

The Clippers didn't have any free time after finishing their January game because the league had a staggering four-day, four-game regular season schedule.

The consequences of the season shutdown are not only the financial losses of the league, but also the physical damage to the players.

In order to save profits, it is all the more important to arrange games as soon as possible, and NBA players who have not trained well throughout the offseason will have to face such a dense schedule, which is a great test of their physical fitness, and it will also cause huge injury risks.

"Okay, I know, have you brought a change of clothes?" asked Han Meimei.

"Don't worry, there is no problem on my side, just take care of yourself, there are more than two months left in the due date, right? Ruan Erniu, who will soon be a father, said.

"I'm not that vulnerable, Eddie is also sensible, you can just go to the game with peace of mind. Han Meimei said with a smile.

"Your girlfriend is about to give birth?" Paul suddenly said to Erniu, who was not far away.

"That's right, the due date is at the end of April!" Ruan Erniu said with a little excitement.

"Congratulations!" Paul thought for a moment and then said with a smile, "I hope the child will not be born in the playoffs." ”

Erniu smiled: "If I'm not mistaken, when CP4 was born, you were also playing in the playoffs?"

Paul spread his hands regretfully: "It's relieved, in the summer of '09, we were eliminated by Anthony's Nuggets 4:1, and I quickly packed up my mood, because the next month, I welcomed my son." ”

Speaking of this, Paul recalled: "If you want to say that you can't be with the mother because of the game, that's what LeBron is. ”

Erniu nodded and said, "Well, I almost forgot, you are the godfather of James's children, and LeBron is also the godfather of CP4."

That guy seems to have mentioned this to me, you and Jada (Paul's wife, who was still girlfriend at the time) went to take care of Savannah (James's girlfriend) who was expecting to give birth together in '07. ”

Paul laughed: "That's right, in '07, Jada and Savannah were also very good friends, I lived in LeBron's home in Akron for more than 20 days, and that guy actually made it all the way to the finals." ”

Erniu dismantled the stage again and said: "It's a pity that 4:0 was swept by the Spurs!"

Paul laughed again, "But when he came home, he saw Bryce (James's second son), and it was God's arrangement!"

Ruan Erniu once again pretended to say: "I'm not as inferior as LeBron, I want my child to see what the championship trophy looks like, and tell him in person how great his father is!"

……

In the eyes of the outside world, the media generally believes that James' best friend is D. Wade, which is not true.

FROM A FRIEND'S POINT OF VIEW, D. WADE IS CERTAINLY THE BEST ONE FOR KING, BUT FOR JAMES, CHRIS PAUL IS UNDOUBTEDLY MORE SIGNIFICANT.

In a media interview, he said of CP3: "For me, the cannon is my family. ”

If the Clippers can really stand out in the playoffs, then their opponent in the Finals is very likely to be the Miami Heat led by James, which is undoubtedly a great attraction for the confrontation of good friends.

Well, no one can say what will happen in the future, go back to the present.

After a half-night sleep on the plane, the Clippers flew to Salt Lake City, where they rushed to their hotel and went to bed until noon the next day, where they began to gather, eat, and begin recovering for the evening's games.

For such a harsh schedule, basically the daily training is not needed, most of the players are training in the game, and it is too rare for a pervert like Erniu who still has the spare energy to go to the gym to practice bench press.

On February 1, 2012, the Clippers arrived at the Energy Program Ball Senses, and their opponent was the Utah Jazz.

This is the second meeting between the two teams this season, with the difference that tonight the Jazz put the ninth pick of the season, Gordon Hayward, in the starting position:

C Al Jefferson

P.F. Paul Millsap

S.F. Josh Howard

SG Gordon Hayward

P.G. Devin Harris

The Clippers didn't make any changes to their starting lineup, and even though it was their third game in a row, the Angelenos were still looking to walk away with a win from Salt Lake City.

The Clippers' offensive launch point in the first quarter was another surprise, not JJ Redick, not Kraft Nguyen, and not CP3.

Facing the "ugly county horse" - Josh Howard, who has been hollowed out by drugs, rookie kawaii continued to hold the ball and hit several balls against the defense, instantly changing the balance of power on the court.

Al Jefferson then reacted, and he easily blew up Jordan Jr. in a high position.

Ruan Erniu, who did not come forward to assist in defense, understands very well that this is the current limit of DeAndrew.

Under Erniu's daily abuse, he can now guard against most players who rely on his body to eat, but if he really wants to deal with a strong and skilled interior player like Al Jefferson, Jordan Jr. needs to continue to improve.

Jefferson's defeat of Jordan Jr. was expected by most people, so it would not be a surprise for Ruan Erniu to beat Millsap.

The inside exploded each other, and the Clippers overwhelmingly defeated the Jazz on the outside, and Harris was suppressed by Paul in various ways, and his speed advantage could not be played at all.

As for the future Gonggong Hai, judging from the current physical strength, that is, the level of Xiao Guizi, it is not a matter of one or two days to become the head of Shangshan Supervisor.

The Clippers kept the pressure in the half, but the tenacious Jazz gradually caught up with the score in the third quarter, especially Al Jefferson tonight, who used solid low post footwork and stable mid-range shooting to educate Jordan Jr. with his solid low post footwork and stable mid-range shooting when Erniu was pulled out of the paint area.

Of course, the biggest contributors to helping the Jazz catch up with the score were CJ Mills and the little-known Derrick Pevers on the bench, who combined to score 30 points and help the team bite the score.

As for the scouting show on the bench - Enes Kante?

He also bullied the rebounding idiot - Reggie Evans in rotation time, moving so slowly under the basket, Erniu just returned to the court, and immediately rewarded the Turk with two big hats, so that the rookie immediately understood the danger of the NBA.

In fact, in Erniu's view, the biggest enemy of the Clippers being caught up is always physical fitness.

In the final quarter of the game, Paul stepped up, he scored 12 points in a single quarter, helping the team to pull away slightly in the final moments, and then the two bulls completed the final explosion with Jefferson in the next few rounds and solidified the lead.

At 110:105, the Clippers won by 5 points and won their second win of the season between each other.

As a result, as soon as they returned to Los Angeles, they ushered in a painful defeat, this time against the Nuggets, whom they had just beaten before.

As Erniu had expected, the Clippers finally suffered physical exhaustion on the fourth straight day of games after winning three games in a row.

Ruan Erniu only played 26 minutes in the whole game, and he efficiently won 20+10 data, but due to the large gap between the scores of the two teams, in the final quarter of the game, he could only sit on the sidelines, watch the opponent suppress the Clippers, and finally take a victory.

The Nuggets' victory over the Clippers also ended their opponent's six-game winning streak and handed the Clippers their third loss of the season.

But the Los Angeles Clippers have not changed their standings, and they are still in first place in the West with a 17-3 record, as well as first in the Pacific Division.

Ruan Erniu can finally return home and spend time with his family.

But in just one day, he had to embark on the next round of flights for his next away expedition. The Los Angeles people's opponent is the Washington Wizards, and that's just an appetizer for the Clippers' terrifying six-game tour.

The Wizards' starters continue to be incomprehensible, and everyone knows this is a rebuilding team, but they don't seem ready to give 10-year pick John Wall room to continue to grow, because they fielded starters like this:

C Javier McGee

PF Rashad Lewis

SF Trevor Booker

SG Nick Young

P.G. John Wall

As the saying goes, he is strong, let him be strong, Lao Tzu Nick Yang!

said that he wanted to cultivate the champion, but let Nick Young become the starting scoring guard, the ball was in the hands of Yang Shaoxia, and what happened to the embarrassing wall (= John Wall, John transliteration + Wall translation)?

Well, I don't know if this was the idea of the newly appointed head coach - Randy Whitman, or the arrangement of the Wizards management.

The first quarter of the game showed a one-sided situation, Ruan Erniu forced Lewis to have no temper, even if he switched positions against McGee, it was also a variety of feints to shake the opponent, tonight's basket was as wide as the sea in Erniu's eyes.

In fact, Nick Young's lone wolf-style singles efficiency is really not bad, but once he holds the ball excessively, the embarrassment wall that is also a starter immediately becomes at a loss, even if he has superstar qualifications, the embarrassment wall does not have the ball in hand, and it can't be used.

At half-time, the visitors' lead was close to 30 points.

In the third quarter of the game, the embarrassment that filled the entire third quarter completely disappeared, except for two assists in statistics, in this quarter, the new leader of the Wizards did not have the slightest sense of existence at all.

The Clippers, who led 40+, dragged the game into garbage time in advance, and Erniu and Paul clocked in and rested in the third quarter, unlike the loss to the Nuggets last time, this time the Clippers' recuperation was built on a huge lead.

The final quarter became a stage for the benches of the two teams, and when most of the Wizards' home audience left the table early, the Wizards' bench finally played a poor performance, and finally outscored the visitors in a single quarter in the final quarter.

At 117:81, after a slaughter, the Clippers ushered in their 18th win of the season, maintaining the top spot in the West while continuing to chase the Chicago Bulls and attack the top spot in the league.

Nguyen Er Niu was asked by a reporter from Washington after the game about his thoughts on the embarrassment.

After a little consideration, Erniu said more safely: "The Embarrassment Club has a bright future, but at this stage, he still has to learn how to become a qualified leader." ”

The subtext of this statement should be understood like this: Is the current boss of the Wizards his meow Nick Young or embarrassing wall?

For the Washington Wizards, who are bent on, they have no hope for results.

In this case, it is better to give the embarrassment wall enough space to develop and lay the foundation for the future of the wizard.

What Erniu didn't expect at this time was that the change in the Wizards' determination made the Clippers gain immeasurable benefits this season.

The Clippers have taken down the first opponent in a six-game losing streak, the Washington Wizards, and two days later, they will fly to Orlando to play the Spark-led Magic.

For the first time in his career, Ruan Erniu did not have a direct spark confrontation in the game, which is also quite interesting.

After a summer of transfer drama, Sparks are not having an easy time with the Magic at the moment.

The whole world guessed that he was leaving, and even most people guessed that he was going to the Los Angeles Lakers, and it seemed that everything was only a matter of time.

Sparks have fallen out with the local media in Orlando so far, so much so that Ruan Erniu actually heard such a request before the game: "Beat Howard, the Celestial Empire people blow him up!"

That's right, it wasn't the Los Angeles media who said this, but the local news reporters in Orlando, and Erniu himself felt incredible, how stiff this relationship must be to cause the current situation.

After many trades, the current Orlando Magic has also changed dramatically from the Eastern Conference finals team back then:

C Dwight Howard

PF Ryan Anderson

SF Siddo Tekoglu

SG Jason Richardson

P.G. Jamil Nelson

On the surface, there are at least three people in the main lineup who have not changed, but in fact, those who have watched the game know that the combat effectiveness of this team has seriously declined.

Turk Turkoglou is no longer the courage he once was, Birdson has struggled to return to his peak since his injury, and Jason Richardson is also not the former dunk king of the Warriors' Black Eight period.

Ryan Anderson?

His three-point approach is indeed efficient, but it's certainly not a player who can stop Kraft Nguyen.

In the face of Jordan Jr., the Spark still played the momentum of the league's current No. 1 center except for Erniu, he shot 15 of 21 from the field, 3 of 8 free throws, and cut a double-double of 33 points and 14 boards.

However, Ruan Erniu, who was opposite Anderson, was even more fierce, he scored 51 points and a big double-double of 20 boards, completely defeating Anderson, who only scored 10 points and 4 boards.

JJ Redick and Maurice Williams met for the first time since swapping owners, but there wasn't much talk between the two, so much so that they each hit five three-pointers without attracting much attention.

At 117:102, the Clippers should have been happy about the victory, as they won the first two games of the six-game trip, which was undoubtedly a good start to a difficult schedule.

But as it stands, the Clippers aren't happy at all because their most important bench player is injured in this game.
