Chapter 835: The eldest son is born, and the next city is first

Four days after the due date, Erniu's eldest son quietly came into the world.

Since the eldest nephew's name is Nguyen Shangwen, Er Niu decided to call his eldest son Ruan Chongwu, whose English name is Philip Nguyen, or Lip for short.

The little guy's face is not as square as Erniu's, it is closer to Dr. Han's goose egg face, and his son is like his mother, so Erniu decided to call his nickname Tangyuan.

Ruan Da Niu flew back to Los Angeles from China, and of course, he was not the first to arrive.

Wei Shao, who ended the regular season, ignored the opposition of the team's management, insisted on taking a leave of absence, and flew to Los Angeles with his girlfriend Nina to visit Erniu's family.

In his words, he must become the godfather of Erniu's son.

"So when are you and Nina going to get married?" Erniu asked.

"Sooner or later, but this question should be for me to ask you, didn't you propose to Mary?" Wei Shao asked rhetorically.

Well, she directly dismissed my thoughts, she said that the relationship between men and women does not need to be measured by a piece of paper. Erniu waved his hand and said.

Wei Shao was just playing recklessly, but he was a delicate person off the court, he stabbed Erniu and said, "You haven't broken up with your female star yet, have you?"

Erniu shook his head helplessly and said: "Jennifer Lawrence, last year's Oscar nominee for Best Actress, the heroine of "The Hunger Games", which was just released last month. ”

Wei Shao said with a little admiration: "How did you manage two women by yourself? They know each other's existence, right?"

Erniu said in his heart: "The guns have been compared, how can you not know!"

The people of the Celestial Dynasty said helplessly: "What's 'done', it's just a matter of watching while walking." ”

The two friends didn't talk about the upcoming NBA playoffs from beginning to end, in fact, they were all excited to have a real battle with each other on the stage of the Western Conference finals.

The Clippers, who lost the two bulls, had no intention of fighting, and they easily lost to the last opponent of the regular season on the road, the New York Knicks.

Jeremy Lin's season reimbursement also brought the Knicks back to the era of Carmelo Anthony.

In fact, since Melon returned to the starting lineup, the position of the bookmaker has become awkward, and with D'Antoni being fired, the Knicks decided to let Doug Rivers be the team's head coach.

Rivers is not a point-guard coach, he is better at emphasizing defense and making chicken soup.

Whether the Knicks can make a difference in the playoffs depends entirely on whether Anthony and Stadamire, who have been plagued by injuries this season, can step up and solve the battle.

Again, neither of these two goods is so reassuring on the defensive end, and it is not easy to hammer the opponent to death on offense in the playoffs.

Returning to the West, with the Clippers losing to the Knicks, their regular season record in the 11-12 season was finally revealed, with 56 wins and 10 losses, ranking first in the West and first in the league without suspense.

If this record is converted to an ordinary season, the Clippers' record can also reach 69 wins, and in terms of difficulty, the devil's schedule in the shortened season is obviously more difficult than the average season.

The 2-8 places in the West are the Spurs, Thunder, Lakers, Grizzlies, Nuggets, Mavericks, and Jazz.

According to the playoff grouping:

Upper Western Half:

Clippers vs. Jazz, Lakers vs. Grizzlies

Lower Western Half:

Spurs vs. Mavericks, Thunder vs. Nuggets

The 1-8 places in the East are: Bulls, Heat, Pacers, Celtics, Hawks, Magic, Knicks, 76ers.

Also according to the grouping arrangement of the playoffs:

Upper Eastern Sector:

Bulls vs. 76ers, Celtics vs. Hawks

Lower Eastern Half:

Heat vs. Knicks, Pacers vs. Magic

No wonder experts are not optimistic that the Knicks can go one step closer, Jeremy Lin's reimbursement is only one aspect, and the Heat, who have the Big Three in the first round, doesn't look like the Knicks are lucky to keep going.

The regular season results have been decided, and the playoff groups have also been listed, so it is natural to summarize the regular season data list for the 11-12 season.

On the scoring list, Ruan Erniu, who averaged 43.5 points per game, is naturally a well-deserved scoring champion.

Kevin Durant, who is ranked second, only averages 28 points per game, regardless of whether it is a shrinking season, the scoring data of the two bulls is solid.

This is also the second time since Chamberlain that the NBA has averaged 40+ points per game in a regular season.

PHIL JACKSON ONCE SAID THAT UNDER THE HAND-CHECK RULE, JORDAN CAN AVERAGE 40 POINTS PER GAME, BUT THIS IS ALSO A KFC FAMILY STATEMENT, AND NO ONE CAN PROVE IT.

But in the 11-12 season, when the Clippers lacked offensive firepower, Nguyen Erniu proved with his own practical actions that it was indeed possible for him to accomplish such a feat even under the advance rule.

And Kraft Nguyen's super performance of scoring 50+ points in 10 consecutive games is also a gorgeous performance that is unprecedented in the history of the NBA, and it is even difficult to have a comer later.

Even Chamberlain, who has won 7 consecutive 50+ games, has been left far behind by Erniu.

In terms of scoring ability, even in the long history of the NBA, Erniu is a player who can support the court.

In fact, the Celestial Empire dominates not only the scoring charts, but also the rebounding charts that he has never lost since entering the league, except for reimbursement seasons.

As a result of changing his position on the court and increasing the weight of scoring, Erniu's average of 18.8 rebounds per game has become a new career low.

But even so, he is still more than a notch above Dwight Howard, who ranks second on the rebounding list and averages 14.5 rebounds per game.

is still the same sentence, in terms of brushing rebounds, Erniu has always been a unique existence.

In the assist list, Rajon Rondo was overtaken by Paul in the final moments, and CP3 managed to surpass Rondo, who averaged 11.7 per game, with an average of 12.1 per game.

Sancang should be grateful to his good partner Erniu, if it weren't for the Celestial Empire's most stable blocking and dismantling cooperation, helping Paul average at least 2-3 more assists per game, Paul would not have been able to reverse Rondo anyway and ascend to the throne of the assist king again.

Some things never go hand in hand, and John Stockton's nine-straight assist king wouldn't have fallen from the sky without Carl Malone.

As the run-in of the pickle girl combination continues to deepen, it is foreseeable that the three guns will inevitably become the most favorable contender for the league's assist king in the following seasons.

In the block list, even though Erniu averaged a career-high 3.5 blocks per game, he still lost to Ibaka, who averaged 3.7 blocks per game.

28 is certainly limited on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, he is really entering the peak of his career.

On the steals list, Paul once again topped the steals list with an average of 2.5 per game, but what was unexpected was that the second place in the steals list was also Kraft Nguyen from the Clippers.

That's right, quietly, the steal statistics of the Celestial Empire have also reached a career-high average of 2.4 per game.

Since Paul missed a few games midway due to a wrist injury, the two bulls had more than three steals in total.

PERHAPS ERNIU'S SCORING ABILITY IS SO DAZZLING THAT IT MAKES PEOPLE IGNORE THE STRENGTH OF THE THREE-TIME D-POY ON THE DEFENSIVE END.

If it weren't for the spark that Erniu was reimbursed for injury and won a D-POY, maybe he would have missed this award for the rest of his life.

The top management of the NBA is also having a headache, with the data won by the Celestial Empire, the MVP of the 11-12 season will definitely not be spent elsewhere, but letting the Celestial Empire win the MVP+D-POY again is obviously not what the management wants to see.

Especially in the award for Best Defense, the Celestial Empire has completed an unprecedented three-game D-POY, and then this award is given to the Celestial Empire, what should other NBA players do?

The problem is that Erniu's defensive statistics are too good, and it is really difficult to convince the public to forcibly send D-POY to others.

The statistics were released for the first time, and compared with the various awards that were awarded later, these statistics are the least likely to be controversial, after all, the data is played by oneself, which is more convincing.

The curtain of the playoffs gradually opened, and on April 29, the day after Nguyen Chong Vu's birth, the Clippers welcomed the challenge of the Utah Jazz at their home stadium, the Staples Center.

The starting lineup that the Jazz fielded tonight were:

C Al Jefferson

P.F. Paul Millsap

S.F. Josh Howard

SG Gordon Hayward

P.G. Devin Harris

The Clippers' starting five are:

C DeAndre Jordan

PF Nguyen Er Niu

SF Kawhi Leonard

SG JJ Reddick

PG Chris Paul

After repeated discussions with the assistant coaching group, Erniu finally made a decision to put Kawaii in the starting position.

For first-year rookies, this is undoubtedly a valuable playoff experience.

But once it encounters an opponent who needs to be dead, the Clippers' coaching staff is still more inclined to let Kawaii appear on the team's lineup as a pseudo-starter.

Objectively speaking, when it's really time to fight hard, Sean Battier is still more reliable than the current young man with facial paralysis.

As the referee tossed the ball high, Jordan Jr. beat Jefferson on a jumper, kawaii got the basketball, and then passed to Paul, who carried the ball and pushed it into the frontcourt.

Erniu immediately beckoned for the ball in a low position, and Paul made a feint to catch the ball and pass it over.

Back singles!

Erniu easily carved out the space, and Millsap retreated again and again in the confrontation.

A 12-foot step-back jumper, Erniu scored the first point in the Clippers' first playoff game with a Golden Rooster independent mid-range shot.

On the Jazz offensive end, Harris struggled to get the ball to Jefferson in the high post under Paul's defense.

Jefferson's defense against Jordan Jr. was a mid-range shot.

"Brush!"

Hit the shot, tie!

It should be said that Jefferson is the only position where the Jazz can be called a strong point at the moment against the Clippers.

Jordan Jr.'s defense has certainly improved significantly, but it's unrealistic to expect him to lock up Jefferson completely.

Erniu also has to focus on Millsap, who has the ability to shoot from a distance, and it is actually a difficult thing to expect Manniu to support Uncle Huang.

So, the Clippers were prepared for the worst long before the game began, and they weren't prepared to wrap up Jefferson.

The latter certainly has the possibility of scoring high scores, but it is equally unrealistic to expect Jefferson to help the Jazz fight back.

Jefferson may be an excellent reaper supporter, but it's hard to expect him to become an ADC that holds the whole court.

On the offensive end of the Clippers, Ruan Erniu received the ball at the top arc position and shot with a feint, but failed to deceive Millsap, but the subsequent Baifo dribble shook Millsap directly to the ground.

He has the power of a top center, but he can carry the ball forward like a backcourt player.

Erniu strode into the penalty area, and Jefferson's "hanging man" defense failed.

"Boom!"

Arm Windmill!

"Toot!"

The referee's whistle sounded at the same time!

2 points, plus a penalty!

Erniu uses the classic inverted toilet bowl and easily puts the ball into the basket.

No matter how loud the boos are away from home, as long as you can improve the shooting percentage, anything is worth trying.

If at the beginning of the season, Erniu used the inverted toilet to help Jordan Jr. increase his confidence at the free throw line, then after a period of training, Erniu has really realized that this is indeed a more suitable way for him to shoot free throws.

Penalty in!

Hit 2+1!

Soon after the start of the first quarter, the game gradually entered the rhythm of the Clippers' attack.

Jordan Jr. did a good job on the defensive end, and although Jefferson made a few mid-range shots, the shooting percentage of 3-of-7 shooting was not high, limiting the Jazz's strongest point, and it was difficult for the Jazz to recover the disadvantage elsewhere.

The sun-dwelling is just a young first-year rookie, and Kanter on the bench has not even adapted to the rhythm of the NBA.

Jazz head coach Tyrone Corbyn has led the team to the playoffs, but it will be much more difficult than he thought to go further with his current roster.

At 20:32, the Clippers took a 12-point lead in the first quarter.

Nguyen Er Niu, who scored 14 points in a single quarter, was strong enough on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and under his defense, Millsap, the Jazz's second scorer, shot 0 of 4 and did not score a point in a single quarter.

In the second quarter of the game, the Jazz staggered the matchup time between Erniu and Millsap, who began to go berserk under Yi Jianlian's defense.

Millsap first hit Allen in the low post, including a 2+1, and then hit two mid-range shots in quick succession from the 17-foot position.

If it weren't for the Clippers' Isaiah Thomas and Nick Young's equally high scores, perhaps the Clippers' lead would have been eaten away at the fastest pace.

However, all these worries disappeared after the pickle girl group returned to the court.

In the playoffs, the playing time of the main players will definitely increase, and with a stronger and more stable main output, it is still difficult for the Clippers to lose this first-round G1 competition.

At 45:60, the Clippers extended their lead to 15 points at halftime.

Erniu scored 21 points in the half, 13 boards of double-double data, in the matchup time, Millsap was completely locked by Erniu, there was no room to play.

In the second half of the game, Hayward, who was not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, actually began to frequently attack the basket and win free throws under the cover of Jefferson and Millsap.

It should be said that Hai Gonggong played quite smart, and it is undoubtedly a smart way to try to win free throws when the score is behind.

It's a pity that the overall advantage of the Clippers is stronger, and they are also rookies, and Kawaii's performance in the second half is also not lost to Hai Gonggong.

Whether it's a long-range shot from beyond the three-point line or a quick cut on a defensive counterattack, Leonard has shown good tactical literacy and execution.

Especially on the defensive end, kawaii locked up Josh Howard and Alec Burks on the bench, and gradually found a clue about Hayward's defense.

With the combined efforts of him, Battier and Paul, the Clippers' perimeter defense was solid tonight.

Hai Gonggong won 8 free throws in the half, and hit all of them, but this still could not save the fate of the team's final loss.

At 91:126, the Clippers took the next game and won G1 by a huge score advantage.
