Chapter 818: The Clippers won ten consecutive victories, and there were many stories on and off the court

In 5 minutes of overtime, Ruan Er Niu, who scored 8 points and 4 boards alone, attended the post-game press conference.

Before the reporter asked about the season goal, Ruan Erniu took the initiative to declare: "We will attack the championship this season, I know you all want to hear this, in fact, we also think so." ”

A Miami Herald reporter immediately stood up and asked, "Why do you think that winning a regular season game qualifies you for a championship?"

Ruan Erniu replied with a smile: "Then why do you think we can't do it?"

The Herald reporter wanted to ask questions, but the Clippers media officer, who was maintaining order at the scene, did not give him the opportunity and instead gave the right to ask questions to the other reporters on the scene.

Reporters from all walks of life also inadvertently protected their peers, according to past experience, if you continue to fight, it must be the reporter from Miami who suffers.

The NBA's supergiants have never only been on the court, and when dealing with the media, you can also see their quality and level.

Erniu has set a championship tone for the new season, which is just a small goal from the perspective of his career, so what to do and let those media ferment on their own.

CP3 admired the people of the Celestial Empire more and more, and for the third artillery, Ruan Erniu's confidence in almost pretending to be forced, and the daily training rhythm without fluctuation after that, really opened his eyes.

The key problem is that when Brute Bull says this, most people feel that he is capable of doing it.

The so-called natural leader is nothing more than that.

After playing against the Heat, the Clippers finally got a three-day rest after a tired back-to-back as they continue to sit at home to face the Los Angeles Lakers, their second opponent in three straight home games.

After playing the Heat, he immediately played the Lakers, and the league's schedule was really strict.

For Los Angeles fans, for most of the time, their home team is the Lakers, after all, the Lakers' past is too glorious for anyone to ignore the greatness of their Purple and Gold dynasty.

Erniu agreed to come to the Clippers, which in itself means that he has chosen the most difficult path, and he will establish his own dynasty on someone else's territory.

The Lakers' roster this season would have changed dramatically, but with the Paul trade halted and the Spark trade put on hold, the Los Angeles Lakers ultimately didn't make much changes to last season's roster.

The Purple and Gold's starting lineup tonight is:

c Andrew Bynum

P.F. Pau Gasol

SF Matt Barnes

SG Kobe Bryant

PG Derek Fisher

Lamar Odom, the sixth man of the year, had already been traded to the Mavericks, and at the start of the season, the Los Angeles Lakers sent O'Dang (the nickname is said to be pronounced O'Dang because Odom's Cantonese literal translation became O'Dang, and later fans gradually called him O'Adam) and a 2012 second-round pick to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for an $8.9 million trade exception and a protected 2012 first-round pick.

It's all about a luxury tax savings deal, and it's an indisputable fact that the Lakers are on the decline.

The biggest victim of this deal is Odang, who doesn't want to leave Los Angeles at all, but as a non-NBA player, he simply doesn't have the right to resist.

There is such a thing as a veto in a trade, which only exists with top players.

In addition, Ron Artest, who has been renamed Charity World Peace, has been reduced to a bench, and his movement speed has long become a black hole for the Lakers on the defensive end.

Lakers current head coach Mike Brown has no problem putting him on the bench, even though Artest has three seasons left on his mid-range contract.

Speaking of the head coach of the Lakers, I have to mention of course Phil Jackson, from the official reason, Jackson voluntarily resigned and left the Lakers entirely because of physical reasons, after all, the Zen master suffered from prostate cancer and must be recuperated and treated, and he will not even appear in the position of head coach in the future.

But it has to be said that the power struggle within the Lakers is also an issue that cannot be ignored.

Jerry Buss's physical condition is gradually declining, and he basically delegated control of the Lakers to Jim Buss, but Phil Jackson has always been on the side of his daughter Jenny Buss, you know, when Jackson first came to the Lakers, he got involved with Jenny who had just broken up with Rodman.

Phil Jackson left the Lakers, of course, for physical reasons, but with his past merits and relationship with Jeanie Buss, he could get a management position in the Lakers, and the only reason why he had to leave the Lakers was that Jeanie Buss was at a low peak in the current power struggle.

The internal chaos will be reflected on the playing field, at least Erniu was surprised to find that both Gasol and Fisher were playing a little absent-mindedly.

It's inevitable, they've all been swept away in the Lakers' original trade plan, and you can't expect a staff member who could be forced to leave at any time to focus on the job at hand, which in itself is not human.

Kobe Bryant played really hard and he was the best player of the game. Mamba shot 14-of-28, including 2-of-5 from three-point range and 12-of-14 from the free-throw line, to finish with 42 points, seven rebounds and four assists.

It's obviously the home court of the Clippers, but as long as it's in the Staples Center, Kobe Bryant can always easily get all kinds of free throws, Kobe's body is also sliding, but his free throws are rising.

But one thing to say, this is still not comparable to his average of 10+ free throws per game at his peak.

Bynum blew up DeAndre Jordan on the court, and he did show off his star image, but even if he became an All-Star starter, it was a blessing for the second bull to go to the No. 4 position.

The Clippers suppressed the former king of Los Angeles throughout the game, Erniu and Paul each scored 30+ without difficulty, and even if Kobe Bryant scored the highest score in the game, it was still difficult to prevent the team from losing to the opponent.

In his post-game interview, Bryant again addressed the performance of his teammates: "We're going through the toughest season, but we have to stick together. ”

I have to say that Kobe's emotional intelligence has indeed improved greatly, and he rarely does not spray his teammates, but some people are not ready to let him go, such as Shaquille O'Neal, who has just joined the TNT commentary team.

"Without me, you will never win the championship!" O'Neal did not speak directly, uploading a short video on YouTube to mock the tragedy of Kobe Bryant not winning the championship again after leaving him.

Sure enough, laughing and hating are, and loving and killing each other is the norm.

Well, however, the source of this tragedy still has to be remembered on Erniu's head.

After two days of playing the Lakers, the Clippers hosted the New Jersey Nets, the last opponent in three straight home games, on their home court.

As mentioned earlier, this is also their final season with New Jersey as their home team, and the Nets will move to Brooklyn next season to be neighbors with the New York Knicks.

Originally, the point guard matchup between Paul and Delon would be the biggest attraction of the game, but CP3 will miss about 10 days of games due to a finger injury, during which the two bulls can only carry the Clippers alone.

In addition, because the NBA has lost too many games this season, it has become quite unreasonable in terms of schedule, and after the game with the Lakers, the Clippers ushered in a terrifying three-day three-game game, and they will experience a three-day home-away-home horror schedule.

However, Paul is not on the team because of injury, which is undoubtedly an extremely important test for Erniu.

In the years of the Eagles, Erniu and Sen were both well-known "iron men", and Erniu seemed inexperienced in the lack of two masters.

In the past few seasons, the people of the Celestial Dynasty have rarely encountered such a situation, and objectively speaking, this is definitely a big challenge.

Fortunately, their first opponent, the New Jersey Nets, is definitely not a strong team.

Nets center Memet Oku has been on a downward spiral since his injury, and there is no pressure on Erniu and Jordan Jr. to switch positions to defend.

Delong is strong, but when he encounters Chauncey Billups, who has a lot of strength, he will also be deflated.

However, the biggest news hotspot in the Nets is definitely not lost to DeLong or Oku, and their starting power forward Chris Humphries is the hottest player at the moment, and in a way, the entire long summer of 11 years has been flooded by Humphries.

The reason is very simple, he and Kim Kardashian, who are in charge of various network traffic in the United States and the Celestial Empire, finally announced their breakup after a short marriage of 72 days.

I don't know when it began, on the online pages of the United States and the Celestial Empire, Kim Kardashian replaced the name of Paris Hilton and became an absolute screen-swiping figure.

The story of the Kardashian family is very long, and there is no need to go into details, just to say that their second daughter Kim Kardashian and third daughter Khloe Kardashian are really frequent visitors to the NBA page.

Khloe has only experienced Rashad McCantz and Lamar Odom so far, and King has a richer love history, but in the NBA, he is only related to Humphries.

Well, she would like to have something to do with Kobe Bryant, but Black Mamba has little interest in Kardashian.

Having told the Kardashian, it is natural to tell the story of the other protagonist Chris Humphries.

Few people know that Humphries was a talented swimmer in his youth, and even Phelps was blown away by him at the age of 10, including the 50m freestyle, 100m freestyle, 50m butterfly, 50m backstroke, 50m breaststroke and 200m individual medley.

Again, as the old saying goes, choice is often greater than effort.

Maybe Humphries would get drunk late at night and repeat over and over again: "If I had continued to swim, I wouldn't have come to play, if I hadn't played I would have come to the NBA, if I hadn't played in the NBA, I wouldn't have known Kardashian, and if I hadn't known Kardashian, I wouldn't have fallen into such a sad situation......"

Well, at least on the pitch, Humphries was more aggressive.

At 91:119, the Clippers won their first win without Paul at home.

Then they came to Utah Heights to challenge the Jazz back-to-back.

An extremely difficult game, playing in Salt Lake City would have been about battling altitude sickness, not to mention a tenacious team like the Jazz.

Sloan is certainly out of the dugout, but his legacy is still affecting the team.

Deron Williams and Devin Harris swapped clubs, while Jeff Teague on the bench could only continue to be a cold bench.

Millsap has improved so quickly that he and Al Jefferson have built up the Jazz's interior combination, which is by no means good news for the Clippers, as the two bulls alone will not be enough to stop these two projection interior players.

Fortunately, the ruthless brute bull made up his mind to strangle a point from the beginning of the game, leaving Jefferson to Jordan Jr. alone.

Even if he is blown up by the former Wolf King, Erniu will not let Millsap, who has a longer range, have a chance to make a calm shot, 3 points is one more point than 2 points, and the Clippers must make a trade-off.

The game was in a three-way wave, and most of the time, the Clippers were on the catch-up side.

After entering the final quarter, under the leadership of Erniu, the visitors once tied the score, but the tenacious Jazz regained a two-point lead with a mid-range shot from Harris with 15 seconds left in the game.

In the crucial final attack, Nguyen Er Niu was caught by Jefferson and Millsap in the low post, and sent the ball to Sean Battier on the perimeter, who did not hesitate to raise his hand to make a three-pointer and finally succeeded in killing the Jazz.

Ruan Erniu, who scored 55 points, 16 rebounds and 15 assists, completely dominated the game, and his triple-double of 55+15+15 was also the first time in history.

Maybe Erniu's total triple-double is not the top in the history of the league, but in terms of triple-double quality, he is definitely a well-deserved first, after all, those triple-double data in ancient times are unreliable, and there is no official certification from the NBA.

Immediately afterward, the end of the hellish schedule returned to Los Angeles, where the Clippers faced the Dallas Mavericks, last year's champions, for the third consecutive game day.

The two tired divisions played an ugly game.

Nowitzki's form has dropped significantly in the first half of the season, winning the championship, the championship team has been dismembered, and the German driver has indeed become slack, with his shooting percentage dropping from 51.7% last season to 45.7% this season.

That's still a lot for a pitcher, but for Nowitzki, he's no longer in his prime.

Nguyen Er Niu, Billups and J.J. Redick dominated the game with three points, and they combined for 15 three-pointers to make a more consistent play from the perimeter.

At 89:95, the Clippers won the tough game in a state of extreme fatigue.

Ten consecutive wins, in the last three games of losing Paul, the Clippers still stubbornly won the victory, Ruan Erniu also withstood the pressure, it turned out that there is no problem with his ability to lead the team alone.
