Chapter 859: Ten Consecutive Victories and Ten Consecutive Victories
Judging from the schedule of the 12-13 season, the league's "care" for the Clippers is still obvious.
Although there are many home games in the early stage, the opponents encountered are all hard stubble, and with the increase in away games in the later season, it will inevitably cause a lot of trouble to the Clippers.
Defending champions!
The eyes of the whole league are focused on the Clippers, how can they play too easily.
After opening the season with a ten-game winning streak, the Clippers continue their road trip with their next opponent being the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Renewing Ibaka's contract and sending away James Harden was the final decision of OKC management, and the two bulls laughed at Paul at the beginning of the season: "This is the Thunder perfecting us to build a dynasty." β
Judging from the follow-up reports, as long as the Thunder pays an extra 4 million meters for the reason, he can grow a beard, but the detonator (Thunder management) who has been hammered by 10,000 people all year round on a certain street finally chose to give up.
Even Erniu was unhappy with Wei Shao in private, he knew that the Thunder was picking the door like this, why did Wei Shao give up the Ross clause in the first place, and give up the part of the money he deserved for the team's lineup.
As the two sides of last season's Western Conference finals, the Clippers vs Thunder game is still quite interesting.
Both sides wanted to win the game, but the flow of the game was unsatisfactory, or in other words, the flow of the game was too poor from a purely spectatorial point of view.
Kevin Durant claims to be a supergiant with the skill of "50% shooting rate lock", but in tonight's game, he shot 7 of 19, and the shooting rate was only a pitiful 36.8%, but it was Durant who led the team to win the game in the end.
Because the big tarantula stimulated the hidden passive skill of the "Arm Swing Big Loop" skill, "Really * Arm Swing Big Loop - Referee Assist".
KD made 19 of his 21 free throws in the game, while Kawhi Leonard and Bart Barnes both graduated with six foul attempts, the vast majority of which were attributed to Durant.
At 115:117, Thibodeau didn't say much in the post-game press conference, he reported a set of stats, the Clippers and Thunder had a full-court foul ratio of 27:24, while the free throw ratio of the two teams was 29:39.
He was only 3 fouls short, but he missed 10 free throws compared to his opponent.
There is nothing wrong with using the rules to win free throws using the "big loop" skill, competitive sports are originally about efficiency, but the huge bonus of home field advantage involves the concept of "fairness".
After a ten-game winning streak, the Clippers finally suffered their first loss of the 12-13 season, but they were not convinced.
Fortunately, the season is still long enough, and the two sides still have a chance to meet in the future, not to mention the possibility that the two teams will play a life-and-death battle again in the playoffs.
The Clippers will continue to move on after two consecutive road games, and their four consecutive road trips will be near and far, and the next stop will be from the middle of the United States to the East Coast, where they will face the Brooklyn Nets.
Erniu saw his big brother Embarrassment again, because the Clippers' next game was back-to-back, there was no time to rest, so Embarrassment simply invited Erniu to have a private meal before the game.
The two Eagles recalled the scenes of fighting side by side in the past, getting along day and night in the past four years, and the feelings poured by the three championship trophies are not broken.
"Don't underestimate us, maybe we'll rise in the next season or two!" said of his current team, full of confidence.
At present, the Nets' record is passable, and the 6-4 record is not bad in the East, but judging from the tone of Embarrassment, he clearly thinks that the Nets have the potential to become a championship-level team.
"It seems that the hairy bear boss is willing to pay for it and gave you a guarantee?"
"That's right, Mikhail has money in his hands, and he's willing to pay luxury tax for his grades." Kraft, you're so smart, you don't need me to say anything more, right?"
Ruan Erniu laughed and said: "No wonder you only called me alone, it seems that the cannon is not in your boss's recruitment plan, and that's right, after all, the Nets team has Delong!"
After thinking about it for a while, Erniu said: "To be honest, New York is indeed not inferior to Los Angeles, but I personally prefer to stay in Los Angeles.
After all, there's a solid team out there, and to be honest, I'm not in favor of paying a huge luxury tax and cobbling together a bunch of stars to compete for a championship.
Joe, don't forget, how did we take out the Celtics in the first place?
If you can't build an effective championship system, even if you have enough big three, this season's Lakers are not the best example, and it's useless to get together four big four. β
Embarrassed Sen suddenly leaked a honey smile: "Then what if you can get together enough of the Big Five?"
Ruan Erniu shuddered inexplicably, and scolded in his heart: "Big dog!"
Although his current wealth is not lost at all to the Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov who failed to run for the presidency of the Bears, when it comes to the heroism of throwing money, the brute bull who suddenly became rich has not yet developed that background.
After all, the Big Five are still not in the shadows after all, and the Nets are still a team formed by Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, and Brook Lopez.
Especially Lopez, who blew up Jordan Jr. tonight, scoring 36 points in the game.
Thibodeau simply hid Jordan Jr. in the fourth quarter, used Ruan Erniu to the No. 5 position to limit Lopez, and let Birdman and Green take turns at the No. 4 position, and finally won tonight's game without danger.
The hero of the Clippers' win in this game must be Ray Allen, if it weren't for the two three-pointers at the critical moment of the gentleman Ray, it is really hard to say who would be able to laugh at the end.
Truth be told, if the Nets can really add matching giants within the current framework, they may really become the top team in the league.
After that, the Clippers traveled to Atlanta, and at the Philips Center Arena, Nguyen Er Niu once again received a warm cheer from the Atlanta fans.
As the team enters a rebuild, the results slip further, and Atlanta fans miss the dynasty that brought them so much joy.
Hawks owner Tony Ressler didn't show up in the arena tonight because he knew that once he was back on the field, he would be greeted with a full day of boos that filled the arena.
Griffin is indeed a good player, but the act of trading him for Kraft Nguyen is, from any point of view, brain-dead to the extreme.
Clippers fans have raised the issue of this issue several times on NBA forums, that is, the reason why the Clippers were able to become NBA champions from a cursed team so quickly, Hawks owner Tony is definitely an underrated hero.
Erniu and his former teammates Lunar Eclipse and Pachulia reminisced about the past during the warm-up.
The conflict between the eclipse and the Griffin is almost public, and even if it is not traded this season, one of the two will surely go next season.
There isn't much variation in the game itself.
The Hawks resisted one quarter and were swept away by a three-point rain from the Clippers in the second quarter.
Erniu, Redick, Ray Allen, and Leonard broke out at the same time, instantly widening the difference between the two teams to 20+, and the game entered garbage time in advance.
At 135:104, Erniu played a symbolic 2 minutes in the fourth quarter and left the game early.
The Clippers slaughtered the home team, but the home team fans still did not change their minds to score 42 points in this game, and Ruan Erniu, who had 21 boards, cheered for the "MVP".
Paul said to Erniu in the locker room: "I really envy what you've achieved in Atlanta, I don't have that kind of treatment in New Orleans." β
Ruan Erniu said unceremoniously: "That's because I established a dynasty here, and before you met me, you didn't even touch the floor of Xiduan." β
Clippers players: "......"
According to a Clippers player who was not far away, the short CP3 directly kicked over the chair where Erniu was sitting, and not to be outdone, scuffled with the Celestial Empire.
Well, the Clippers' internal affairs are not the point.
For a team with a goal, winning is what they are looking for.
After a four-game home draw, the Clippers are back in Los Angeles for their next three-game home game, and their first home opponent is none other than Paul's former home team, the New Orleans Hornets.
Anthony Davis has not returned from injury, so he did not appear in the team's line-up.
In the future, when people talk about this Kentucky champion, they will often give him two labels: 1. He is full of talent, and 2. He is constantly injured.
Needless to say, few fans who have watched him play will doubt his quality, and injuries may have long been considered a lack of dominance in other teams, but in New Orleans it doesn't matter much.
Reason?
Very simple!
Anyway, the Hornets are rarely able to make the playoffs, and it is enough to reach 65+ appearances in a season!
Since Eric Gordon is also on the injury list, the core of this game for the Hornets is actually Ryan Anderson.
Well, the result of a projection No. 4 position lacking confrontation ability against a brute bull is generally conceivable.
After a bloody slaughter, the Clippers defeated the challenged Hornets at home, and after losing to the Thunder, they have won three in a row.
The Clippers didn't mean to stop their winning streak, and in the next two home games, the Timberwolves and Kings were undoubtedly the snacks that came to the door.
The pickle girl duo clocked out in the third quarter and easily led the team to harvest the game, winning the second five-game winning streak of the season while continuing to maintain their unbeaten home record this season.
After playing this home game, the Clippers embarked on a flight to Utah, where they will face the Jazz in Salt Lake City.
It's bound to be a fierce battle for revenge, as the Jazz have two members of last season's Clippers β Mo Williams and Randy Foye.
Mo Jr. was traded as a chip for Redick, while Randy Foye was a spectator for most of the late playoffs, making room for Nick Young and Thomas Jr.
Erniu still gave the two championship rings for the 11-12 season before the game, and it is certainly a dream of a professional player to get the ring, but getting it in such a situation will definitely reduce their joy.
The game was extremely intense, with plenty of hardness from the inside line composed of Jefferson and Millsap, while the backcourt double guns composed of Xiao Mo and Foye also played their lives in the game in order to prove their worth.
Attitude determines the game, and it is clear that the overall strength of the Clippers is stronger than that of the opponent, but the two sides were entangled from the first quarter of the game to the last quarter.
The two sides alternated leads many times, and every time each side got a chance to pull away, the other side would explode and drag the game back into a state of seesaw.
Well, Jordan Jr. was usually blown up by Jefferson again, so Erniu's explosion of Millsap could only be regarded as a draw.
In this era when the league's centers are withering, there are actually only a handful of good centers, and the reason why Jordan Jr. is criticized so badly is because he basically can't come up with decent data when he is in the opposite position with those bitter masters.
In the final 20 seconds of the game, the score was 104-104, and the two teams were tied, while the ball was still in the hands of the Jazz.
In a pinch, kawaii has made a meritorious service!
When he misplaced Xiao Mo, he successfully judged the way of the ball, stole the opponent's pass along the free throw line, and immediately carried the ball forward to the frontcourt.
An extremely abrupt break instantly turned the game in favor of the Clippers, and Kawaii quickly held the ball to the opposing halfcourt, and jumped high with one hand in one hand within the free throw line......
"Boom!"
Shockingly, facial paralysis is still there!
Kawaii scored 20+5+5 in this game to help the team win the game in the last offensive and defensive transition.
After a hard-fought win on the road, the Clippers once again won a three-game home game, which is the third time they have won a three-game home game this season.
Although they have encountered many strong teams at the beginning of the season, and although there will inevitably be a lot of tough away games in the second half of the season, the Clippers' schedule at this time is undoubtedly sweet.
The Clippers' three-game home game is against the Mavericks, Suns and Raptors.
At this time, the Mavericks have no intention of fighting, Nowitzki is still recovering from an injury, and the team's starting point guard Derrick Fisher does not want to stay in Dallas, he wants to go to a team that can win a championship and try to get another championship ring in his career.
It wasn't long before it took a wave of farce, and eventually the Mavericks bought out Fisher, who in turn went to the Thunder, who he thought had a chance to win the championship.
As early as 2007, when he played for the Jazz, Fisher said that his 11-month-old daughter needed surgery because of cancer, and hoped that the Jazz could terminate his contract so that he could concentrate on taking care of his daughter.
In order to leave the Jazz, Fisher once said that "life is more important to me than basketball", but after leaving Utah, the veteran quickly signed a three-year contract with the Lakers.
It's no wonder that Mark Cuban is upset that how to put aside the ball skills of Chairman Fish for the first time, but this thing is really too unjust.
Hehe, the people who eat melons are still too naΓ―ve, or in a few years, people will find out that Chairman Yu's injustice is not only on the court.
Another wave of three straight wins, the Mavericks, Suns, and Raptors failed to cause substantial problems for the defending champions, and after three big slaughters, the Clippers continued their unbeaten home unbeaten run this season and won the second ten-game winning streak of the 12-13 season!
