Chapter 864: The end of the season, undefeated at home

With 67 wins and 3 losses, the Los Angeles Clippers are 15 wins more than the 52-18 of the San Anthony Spurs, who are second in the Western Conference and second in the league.

There are only 12 games left in the regular season, which means that before the Clippers reach a 37-game winning streak, they will lock up the top spot in the regular season in 12-13.

Crazy season, crazy LA Clippers!

Before the start of the 12-13 season, the Clippers were also the team that fans were expecting, but no one could have guessed that they would suddenly make a sudden move in the late middle and rewrite the league's longest winning streak.

The Lakers' 33-game winning streak was once so unattainable, but in the 09-10 season and the 12-13 season, two teams in a row - the Hawks and the Clippers have broken this record.

The similarity is that the leaders of these two teams are Kraft Nguyen.

The Heat actually played well during this time, and under James' leadership, the Miamins played a wave of offensive frenzy of 23 consecutive wins.

But as the old saying goes, no one cares about second place.

With the Los Angeles Clippers' unstoppable performance, no one cares how the Heat, who have won their longest second straight game this season, far.

The media's promotional resources are also limited, and even if they are bent on picking up a Milican hero, they still have to praise the glorious journey of the Clippers in the face of the brute bull.

Even though big media outlets such as ESPN have shared the merits of 37 wins on CP3 and Kawaii, most veteran fans still have various rumors on the Internet, proving that the bull is the soul of the Clippers.

TNT, who has always liked to contradict ESPN, was even more mercilessly sarcastic: "Now everyone knows that the Celestial Empire rules the NBA, but there are always people who like to stand up and deny all this with various reasons to maintain their poor self-esteem." ”

According to the political commissar of the war situation, Jin said: "The people of the United States were also very good at joking, you tease him twice, and he is not angry, but now it is not good, we are stronger, so they are becoming more and more sensitive, just joke, he is in a hurry with you!"

Why did Nash and Nowitzki suffer so much criticism?

It's not because they're not from the United States, but they won the regular season MVP.

In fact, if you are as strong as two bulls, you will always have to be questioned in various ways.

It's no wonder that even if you play well, you can still be an Oscar-winning actress and maintain a relationship with two women at the same time, how can this make the dicks of the United States embarrassed?

Think about it, I don't know the beauty of his wife, and the boss of a certain boss has a good reputation among the dicks.

Men, ancient and modern China and foreign countries are actually the same.

Live for X, die for X, and live for X all your life.

To put it mildly, Sigmund Freud once said, "Sex is the driving force of everything!"

The Clippers, who have already secured the top spot in the regular season, still have 12 games to play, and even if the rest of the schedule is not easy, they can take it in stride.

Once the desire to win is repeatedly relaxed, it will immediately affect the team's record.

After the game against the Nets, the Clippers will have a wave of four consecutive visitors to play, against the Dallas Mavericks, New Orleans Hornets, San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets, and the Texas package will also add a combination of roasted wings.

In the first game against the Mavericks, the Clippers were in big trouble.

Mike James and Dirk Nowitzki burst into action, quickly pushing the score to double digits after a wave of unreasonable shots.

Fortunately, Mike James performed well on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, he couldn't limit Paul's play, and with Paul's brave performance in the first quarter, the Clippers finally maintained the score gap to a single number.

In the second quarter of the game, Ruan Erniu suffered the worst game of the season, he shot 0 of 5 in a single quarter, and was actually defended by Nowitzki, who is not the top defensive ability.

To be honest, Erniu didn't do well enough on both offensive and defensive ends tonight, probably because he had a 37-game winning streak and the league's top record, and the MVP was already within reach, so his mentality was too relaxed.

Thibodeau was also reluctant to reprimand the head coach loudly, although the second quarter only allowed the team leader to play for a total of five minutes.

Nowitzki, who didn't have a two-bull defense, became more and more difficult to control, and the Golden Rooster's independent shots fell into the net bag again and again, and by the second half of the third quarter, the score of the two teams had reached more than 15 points.

In the last quarter, the Clippers still performed poorly, and Paul did his best to cut 33+10 in the air, but his teammates really didn't give it a try.

The bull only scored 22 points and 11 rebounds in this game, and his shooting percentage dropped to 41%, which was blown up by Nowitzki, who scored 36 points in this game.

More critically, the Mavericks have blossomed more, with Mike James, OJ Mayo, Darren Collison, and Vince Carter all playing well.

This season, the Mavericks' current record is only 34-36, and in the highly competitive Western Conference, this result can basically announce goodbye to the playoffs.

But the background of the top three in Texas still allowed them to defeat the invincible Los Angeles Clippers.

When Ruan Erniu attended the press conference with Paul after the game, he also took the initiative to take the blame: "The responsibility for the loss lies with me, and we are somewhat sorry to end the 37-game winning streak, but it is not a good thing for us, we can focus more on the regular season and the playoffs later." ”

The Clippers' focus has shifted to the playoffs!

The loss to the Mavericks was not a big deal for the Clippers, and they had their roasted wings on their next trip to New Orleans.

If the Dallas are struggling with how to rebuild the team next season, the New Orleans are thinking about how to compete for the top pick.

No matter how lacking the fighting spirit of the Clippers is, it will be difficult to lose to the current Hornets.

After Ruan Erniu's poor performance in the last game, he quickly recovered and used a crazy output of 45+30 to teach Brother Thick Mei to be a man.

Champion Lang may become the top player in the league in the future, but at this stage, he can only slowly enjoy the critical impact of the league's first man.

After successfully getting the Hornets, the Clippers still have two Texas away games to play.

They are the Spurs, who have not won against the Clippers this season, and the Houston Rockets, who are bent on competing with the Lakers and Jazz for a playoff spot.

The Clippers, fresh from the win over the Hornets, didn't get ready in time as they finally endured their first losing streak of the season at the end of the season, losing back-to-back losses to the revenge-bent Spurs and the Rockets in Texas as they sprinted for the playoffs.

Coupled with the loss to the Mavericks, the Clippers suffered Waterloo in Texas in the process of four consecutive visitors, and they didn't even win a game.

Fortunately, no one will jump out to question the dominance of the Clippers at this time, after all, no matter how much they lose, this team has won the top position in the league in advance, so the Clippers must be the best team in the league this season.

After experiencing a losing streak, the Clippers' remaining opponents are eager to try, beating a team with a 37-game winning streak is not a glory that can be obtained every season, if you don't take advantage of the situation to win a few games at this time, how can you brag about it in the future?

The Clippers also understand that they can't go on any longer, it doesn't matter how many games they lose, if they lose and lose mentally unbalanced, it will be a complete explosion.

Ruan Erniu and the assistant coach group urgently held an intra-team meeting, and after analyzing the situation, Ruan Erniu proposed to take every opponent seriously.

It's not enough to just talk about it, both the individual and the team need a specific goal to spur themselves on.

Erniu looked at the schedule, and after analyzing hard, he said: "We have achieved an unprecedented 37 consecutive wins, so we might as well achieve another unprecedented goal this season - undefeated at home this season!"

"Oooh!"

Manniu's speech made many Clippers players exclaim!

Looking back, the Los Angeles Clippers have not lost a home game in the past 74 games in the 12-13 season.

After the loss to the Rockets, they will soon have the last sweet journey of the season - a four-game home.

This time, the opponents are the Grizzlies, Suns, Lakers, and Timberwolves.

The Grizzlies have been largely hopeless this season, sitting in fourth or fifth place in the West, far from sixth, seventh, and eighth, but they are not able to chase the top three.

The Suns are rushing for the top pick this season, and the Timberwolves also have no hope of advancing to the playoffs.

After counting, the only team that really needs to be stumbled is the Los Angeles Lakers, because the Lakers, who have gathered F4, will also compete with the Rockets and Jazz for playoff spots at the end of the season.

Jerry Bass finally died of cancer in February of 13 years, his achievements needless to say, the glory of Zijin is inseparable from the efforts of the elder Bass, but he obviously did not arrange the heir properly.

The season is not over yet, countless people have begun to question Jim Buss, and many media have directly called him a loser, and the Lakers are unlikely to be revived in his hands.

F4 looks very good, but in fact, a team that has not been polished into a system, D'Antoni is also a clever woman who is difficult to cook, his best small-ball system, in this Lakers team has no room to play, if you put aside the changes on the offensive end, just talk about the team's defensive end system, or the old set left by Mike Brown.

The Grizzlies and Suns failed to stop the Clippers, and the Clippers, who won two consecutive wins at home, ushered in their city rivals, the Los Angeles Lakers.

In Lakers F4, Nash is out due to injury, and Kobe Bryant will lead the team to make a final fight for a playoff spot.

The two sides went into a playoff-level confrontation from the start.

Kawaii was arranged to target Kobe Bryant directly from the moment the referee's whistle blew, trying to use all means to curb Kobe's play.

Objectively speaking, Kobe's performance on the offensive end in the 12-13 season is due to the 11-12 season, and the average shooting rate per game in the season has increased from 43% to 46.3%.

Efficiency on the offensive end has improved, but efficiency on the defensive end has dropped even more.

When the pickle girl combination attracted most of the defensive pressure, Kawaii was not under much pressure whether it was the singles of the aging Ci Shiping or the black mamba.

It was not surprising that the Sparks blew up Jordan Jr. on the offensive end, but Jordan Jr. managed Howard with 13 rebounds in a single game, which is somewhat incredible.

Yes, the Sparks only got a total of 4 rebounds in this game.

D'Antoni does have a set of offensive adjustments, and the Lakers have improved on the offensive end, which is indeed a blessing to him, but judging from the Lakers' current defensive attitude, even if they reach the playoffs, there is no possibility of going further.

The Clippers, who set themselves small goals, did not give the Lakers too many opportunities, and as Nguyen Erniu took the lead in increasing the defensive intensity, the game began to quickly shift to the side of the Clippers.

The Clippers played a suffocating defense in the third quarter, stretching the score by 20 points in a wave, and Kobe Bryant scored 12 points in a single quarter in the final quarter in a vain attempt to lead the team to a final comeback, but ultimately lost the game due to too much digging in the early stage.

At 95:119, after the Clippers successfully won this home court, they only need to win the Timberwolves in four consecutive home games and win the Portland Trail Blazers at the last home court, and they will become the first team in NBA history to go home undefeated in a season.

The Timberwolves, who had no hope of advancing to the playoffs, supported one quarter of the game before being blown up, and the Clippers won four consecutive home games, leaving only one step away from their small goal.

In the next two away games, the Clippers played carelessly, and the Hornets naturally delivered the food, but in the back-to-back games against the Grizzlies, the Memphis, who wanted to go further in the playoffs, successfully sniped the Clippers and became one of the few teams that have beaten the holder of the 37-win record this season.

However, the Clippers who lost this game did not show much frustration, and they have already set their sights on the next game against the Trail Blazers.

The Clippers, who lost back-to-back, were confident that the Portland Trail Blazers, who didn't want to be a backdrop, agreed that they weren't willing to rest on their laurels.

If the Clippers win the season's unbeaten home game, in a few years, most fans will forget about the previous 40 matchups and bring out the 41st opponent defeated by the Clippers for a review.

But the Trail Blazers, who lost the playoff qualification early, really have no chance of fighting the Clippers, their main power forward Aldridge can't play due to injury, and it is impossible to stop the Clippers with a rookie Lillard alone.

Even if Lillard has basically booked the Rookie of the Year for the 12-13 season.

As the No. 1 candidate for ROY, Lillard repeatedly said before the game that they would try to play every game, even against the Los Angeles Clippers, who have won 37 straight games.

Erniu smiled and said, "I don't think the Trailblazers have any chance, but I wish Damian to win ROY!"

The course of the game also roughly verified Erniu's statement, and since two minutes into the first quarter, the Trail Blazers have never had a chance to take the lead.

It is said that Ade has never won against Erniu, but there is really no Aldridge, and the Trail Blazers can't find a player who can stop the bull.

Ruan Erniu scored 55 points in this game, 31 boards of super double-double data, and led the team to defeat the opponent with a disparity of 77:135, and the 58-point difference is also the largest single-game regular season score difference this season.

In this way, the Los Angeles Clippers completed an unprecedented season of undefeated home games after winning the longest 37 consecutive games and locking the record for the fastest league top.

After that, there was also a visiting Clippers who sent all the benches, and the Los Angeles people lost to the Kings.

With 74 wins and 8 losses, the Los Angeles Clippers have ended their 12-13 regular season campaign, and their next goal is clear: to defend their championship!
