"Kobe Bryant recently complained to Mitch (Kupchak, now the Lakers general manager) that he was an F-level team manager at all. Don, do you think I should fire Mickey?" www.biquge.info Don?" laughed Jerry Bass.

Sterling thought to himself that Kupchak is obviously more obedient than the logo man (Jerry West, former Lakers general manager, OK team founder), and if you really wanted to fire him, you wouldn't say such a thing.

Even so, Sterling faked his words: "Mitch is a good guy, I think he's at least better than El, if you're really going to fire him, I can take it." ”

Jerry Bass laughed and said, "I'm just kidding, Kobe Bryant is strong on the one hand and paranoid on the other, he will understand Mitch." Let's go ahead and watch the game. ”

When the two California bosses turned their attention back to the field, the situation changed again.

Because someone on the court exploded, but this person was not Ruan Erniu, but Al Thornton of the Clippers.

is also a first-year show, and Suoton's starlight is definitely not comparable to Ruan Erniu, who is shoulder-to-shoulder with the ancient giant beast.

But due to the long-term absence of the team's main players, coupled with their own efforts. Thorton finally had the best game of his rookie season tonight.

In the face of the Eclipse defense, Thorton hit two three-pointers in a row from beyond the three-point line, and then magically used his unskilled shooting skills to continue to provide firepower for the home team.

In just three minutes, this guy slashed 10 points on the head of the lunar eclipse, and in the entire second quarter, he scored a total of 12 points and 2 rebounds.

If Elssoton, a potential rookie, can play, it is also expected by most people.

After Aaron Williams on the bench replaced Tim Thomas, he faced Zaza Pachuria's defense, continued to block and dismantle with Kassel, and scored 8 points and 5 rebounds on the inside, which completely broke Mike Woodson.

Aaron Williams, this old guy is 37 years old this year, this guy who is about to retire, and his career average is only 5.8 points and 3.9 rebounds per game.

Tonight, he actually exceeded the unattainable data of his career average per game in less than one quarter.

Although time was running out for the first half, Woodson couldn't sit still and immediately called a timeout.

As soon as the players got to the bench, Woodson opened fire.

"It's all for me to be sober, we didn't win the game, and Kraft can't do everything alone.

Don't forget who you are, you're also part of the Eagles. Whoever lets me see him stunned on the defensive end again, I'll replace him immediately, and don't want to get a minute of playing time in the future!"

The defense should leak people, and the rest will be played.

The defense does not fill in the position, and the rest is over.

There is no passion in defense, and we still have to rest.

Once an old-school coach like Woodson gets serious, no one can afford to ignore his authority. Unless the level reaches the level of Ruan Erniu and Yu Sen, anyone may be replaced and sit on the bench, but the two leaders of the Hawks are not bad on the defensive end, so other role players dare not relax.

In the last attack of the first half, Ruan Er Niu held the ball on the inside and singled Kaman.

The Germans, who had been bullied for more than a quarter, seemed to be trying to save face at the last minute of the half.

He increased his defensive strength and resisted Ruan Erniu in front of him.

However, the huge gap in strength between the two cannot be made up by willpower.

Ruan Erniu easily squeezed away the opponent's distance with his back and quickly turned over and jumped.

Kaman relied on his 7-foot height to block the ball, but Ruan Erniu's bullet speed was amazing, and the shooting point of the straight-arm shot was too high.

"Brush!" Erniu finally sent the ball into the basket just before the red indicator light came on.

At the end of the first half, with the outbursts of Al Thorton and Aaron Williams, the Clippers miraculously recovered a few points in this quarter, and they won the Hawks by 4 points at 24-28 in a single quarter.

At 50:48, the away Eagles entered the second half with only a two-point advantage.

Against a team with a broken roster, the Hawks, who have a solid top-three record in the Eastern Conference, can't go down in one go, and such a result is not satisfactory to Woodson.

As you can imagine, in the locker room, the Woodson hair dryer must have been roaring.

Nguyen Erniu was certainly the best player of the half, with 28 points, 16 rebounds, 7 blocks, and 1 assist, making the best gift for those California fans who supported him.

What is certain is that the performances of the Celestial Empire will continue.

The Clippers' commentator is lined with Ralph Lawle, who has been with the home team for 28 seasons, and his recently appointed colleague Mike Smith.

This is a combination of a standard pair of old bacon with small fresh meat.

Mike Smith said: "Lahral, how do you feel about the Clippers players in the first half?"

"I think the lads are very scrappy, you know, we're in the most difficult period right now, and without Elton [Brand] and Corey [Margety], we don't have an advantage over any team in the league," laughed Laurle.

But today, under the leadership of Coach Dunleavy, they actually lost to the Hawks by only 2 points at halftime, which can be described as a miracle.

You know, the Hawks are the biggest dark horse this season, and they are now considered the top team in the league. ”

Mike Smith added: "So, do you think we were successful in defending Kraft Nguyen? After all, the Celestial Empire scored a big double-double of 28 points and 16 rebounds in the first half. ”

Laura nodded and said: "Kraft can't be stopped, he is also a superstar who came out of Los Angeles, he is the pride of Los Angeles." Win or lose today, we should all say it's a California basketball victory.

However, although Kraft scored super stats in the first half, I don't think the Clippers have no chances. You know, the Hawks now have the ball in his hands, but if the other players don't play, the outcome of this game is still unknown. ”

Mike Smith concluded: "You can see that in addition to being a fan of the Clippers, you are also very fond of the Celestial Empire. If one day Kraft Nguyen returns to Los Angeles (Clippers) to play, will you be happy about it?"

Ralph Laurer laughs, "This is probably the best news I've heard since I became a commentator!"

The commentators on the pitch are discussing the game and the players, and the head coach in the dressing room is laying out the tactics.

On the Clippers' side, Coach Dunleavy focused on praising the performance of his players, with Al Thorton receiving the most praise from him. Nor is Aaron Williams.

"Chris, well done, continue to entangle the Celestial Empire, consume his physical strength, and make him have to do his best to complete every attack!"

In Dunleavy's opinion, it doesn't matter if Carman's data is completely blown up by Ruan Erniu, as long as he can firmly contain the point of the Celestial Empire and lock his connection with other Hawks players, this game still has to be played.

However, the "alien" Cassel sitting on the sidelines is not so optimistic, the Clippers are not the Spurs, and they have not built a solid defensive system after the absence of the team's top two leading players.

The reason why the team was able to recover the score in the first half largely relied on the outbursts of Al Thorton and Aaron Williams.

The second half of the game is bound to be more difficult. (To be continued.) )
