After the game against the Bulls, the Clippers flew to Atlanta overnight, and they have back-to-back games against the Hawks tomorrow. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Recently, Qin Zhengcai heard that there was only one person in the NBA who arranged the schedule, and after 30 years of scheduling, he has become the vice president of the NBA league.
When Qin Zheng heard the news, it was really a dog, it turned out that the truth was like this, and Qin Zheng felt that he was deeply hurt.
But since such a schedule is arranged, what else is there to say, just like my eight-in-a-row this time, isn't it that Staples Arena is occupied, at the beginning of the year, it was to select the major awards of the previous year, especially Los Angeles is still the City of Angels, and Hollywood is in Los Angeles, so the Clippers have to fly to the eastern part of the United States.
However, he has to play eight consecutive away games, and the Lakers are not having a good time, and he also has to play seven away games, so the two teams are in the same condition.
After the game, shower, and a brief 10-minute interview, the Clippers took the bus to the airport.
The transportation in the United States has to be said to be extremely convenient, short-distance driving and long-distance flight, as for the railway, sorry that it has not been well maintained for many years, the former 400,000 kilometers of railroad has been dismantled and there are still 200,000 kilometers left, and it is still a variety of specifications.
Nowadays, the railroads in the United States are basically used as freight transportation, and few people take the train, very rarely, and basically take the train to view the scenery around the train, which is for leisure.
Atlanta, the city where the Hawks are located, is in the southeast of the United States, but fortunately she is also in the east, so the Clippers flew to Atlanta in only two and a half hours.
After returning to the hotel, the players of the whole team did nothing to find their rooms and began to sleep, when they were on the plane, they were already asleep in a daze, and finally woke up and got off the plane, and when they arrived at the hotel, they were still in the mood to communicate, found the bed and began to sleep.
At eight o'clock the next morning, the players were woken up by the team's staff to go to breakfast.
"Hell, it's a nutritious meal again, and it looks like all three meals a day today are nutritious meals." As he ate his nutritious meal, Carman muttered.
Kaman, who came from Europe, was really disgusted with nutritious meals, but he couldn't eat them.
"Don't say a word, I came from Huaxia, I didn't say that the nutritious meal was unpalatable, what else do you have to complain about." Qin Zheng is really qualified to say this.
Although there are French, Italian, and Spanish cuisines in Europe in this world, Qin Zheng really thinks that Chinese food is delicious, and you can eat whatever you want and whatever you want to eat in the eight major cuisines.
Hearing Qin Zheng's complaints, he was silent, Kaman, who had been to a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown and had a big meal, really wanted to praise it sincerely, it was better than German food.
After breakfast, no one went back to rest, and after waking up, they began to move slowly, Dunleavy arranged for them to go to the conference room half an hour later to watch the video highlights of the Eagles' game, leaving half an hour for the players to digest food.
Half an hour later, the players all came to the conference room, since the Clippers' record came to the first place in the West, Dunleavy's prestige within the team is much greater, after all, only a head coach with a record has prestige, and a head coach without a record wants to put on a show, who do you think you are? What about Jordan?
In the morning, the Clippers players watched a three-hour video together, in which Dunleavy gathered together the last 20 games of the Hawks, and then depicted the Hawks' tactical coordination one by one, describing the Hawks' offensive and defensive transitions.
It also allows the Clippers players to understand how the Hawks' game is going and how to deal with them when they meet them.
Don't think that NBA players know all 29 opponents' tactics every day, in fact, they really don't know the other half of the team, after all, they will only play 2 games in a season, maybe they will change their tactics several times in this season, this is possible.
That's why Dunleavy will show the video editor to find the Hawks in the past 20 games according to their own requirements, in order to this, even if the Hawks' tactical coordination changes, it can also give the Clippers players an intuitive understanding.
After all, they are all veteran players who have played for many years, and this tactical literacy is still there, even if they are newcomer players, they will not understand it at all.
At noon, it was another nutritious meal, and this time no one complained, because all the players understood that if they want to make up for their physical strength, they have to eat this thing, and if they can't make up for their physical strength, they can't play or second, and when they are not physically exhausted, they will even cause injuries.
After lunch, the players went to rest, took a nap for an hour and a half, and then watched the video in the afternoon, and this time it was not Dunleavy who explained the video to them, but Dunleavy asked the Clippers players a question, what are you going to do in this situation?
It doesn't end until five o'clock in the evening, NBA players generally eat once two hours before the game, but they will not eat full, but only one and a half full, otherwise eating a full meal will make the stomach uncomfortable, and when the time comes, high-intensity games will cause gastrointestinal damage, and when you eat a full meal, the blood of the whole body will also be concentrated in the stomach and intestines to digest food, which will make the brain slow to react at this time, and it is not suitable for the game.
So NBA players basically eat half full once before the game and come back again after the game.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the game officially began, this game was not broadcast live by the media, even if the Clippers' record was very good, it was impossible to broadcast it live, the Bulls of the year, the national live broadcast in a season was only 50, just over half, and the rest were broadcast live on state television, the current Clippers have not yet reached this level, and there are only more than 20 live games planned for them this season, and there are also the Lakers, Cavaliers This kind of team light, However, since the Clippers' record has been out of control, this is the 49th game against the Hawks, and so far the Clippers have played 24 games nationally, and there will be 16 national live broadcasts of the remaining 33 games.
In other words, the Clippers' national live broadcast this season has risen from more than 20 to 40 games, mainly because of their record and their high scores.
If the Clippers can still have a few All-Stars, maybe a few more games, which is already a notch with the Lakers and the Cavaliers.
There are many live broadcasts across the country, which means that the team's players are more popular, and it can be concluded from the all-star votes, the Clippers are also very good this time, Qin Zheng has won 2.7 million votes as of the second stage, this data used to be the data that could only be obtained at the end of the entire vote, but it was still the data that the vote king could get.
Although the NBA has blocked the IP of East Asia, it can't stand the cleverness of Chinese netizens, you have a firewall, I have a VPN, although there are not many people, but it has also added hundreds of thousands of votes to Qin Zheng, and the rest are basically North American fans voting, but most of them are still votes from overseas Chinese to Qin Zheng.
Since the emergence of a player like Qin Zheng, the entire North American Chinese world has paid great attention to him, especially after knowing that his father is still a businessman, this attention has increased even more.
Qin Zheng's profile picture frequently appeared on the headlines or front pages of Chinese newspapers and websites, especially after the All-Star Game vote, and the Chinese media gave him more publicity.
Although the Chinese in the United States are also fighting in the nest, they can still unite in the face of major rights and wrongs, especially when their own interests are not involved.
The Clippers were the first to play, and they were greeted with boos from the court, and although Atlanta's ball market was not very good, the Hawks fans were still able to stand up in the face of the enemy's attack, which was a big gap with the Rockets fans.
The Hawks' starters are their core Hawk King Joe Johnson, followed by their starting center Al Horford, and the rest are playmaker Bibby, small forward Josh Smith, and big forward Marvin Williams, the strength of the whole team is not very strong, but it is not weak, and the Hawks' current record ranks fifth in the East.
It was Al Horford who jumped the ball with Qin Zheng, and Qin Zheng still paid a lot of attention to this player.
Al Horford, with a high ball quotient and flexible footwork, is a big forward, and at that time he is physically strong and can defend a lot of centers, but he still has some shortcomings when he faces it.
But because of his big forward and nimble footwork, Al Horford is excellent in helping to defend.
Al Horford's rebounding ability is very good, his mid-range shooting is very accurate, and his shots are very resolute, he will not hesitate at all, and he wants to be excellent in running and passing.
"It seems that Al Horford's left hand is not very good either!" Thinking about Al Horford's strengths and weaknesses, Qin Zheng started the game.
The basketball was allocated by Qin Zheng, however, and the Clippers attacked first.
The first ball but handed the basketball to Qin Zheng, this time Qin Zheng chose to go head-to-head with Al Horford, Qin Zheng wanted to see how Al Horford's defensive level was? Although it looks good on video, you still have to experience it for yourself.
The height of 208 was still not enough to see in the face of Qin Zheng, Qin Zheng pushed his back twice, and Al Horford was pushed away by Qin Zheng, and then Qin Zheng turned around and ended the battle with a violent buckle.
The Eagles' first shot was given to Joe Johnson, as the boss of the Hawks, Joe Johnson had to shoot the first shot, and Gordon's defense of Joe Johnson was not enough to interfere with him, so he could only watch the light and strong Johnson break through and enter the interior.
Although Johnson's athleticism is not very good, in the face of Gordon, who is one grade weaker than him in height and weight, Johnson's breakthrough is still possible.
The game was played out in the tactics of the two teams, and neither took the other side.
On the Clippers' side, they are strengthening their offense on the inside, breaking through shots and shooting three-pointers on the outside, and on the Hawks' side, they are combining inside and outside, occasionally coming to a fast-break counterattack.
Soon the Clippers fell behind the game, the Hawks' shooting percentage in this game was too high, the Hawks scored 33 points in the first quarter, while the Clippers only scored 27 points, Joe Johnson alone scored 12 points, Josh Smith did not let him cut 9 points, Al Horford faced Qin Zheng's defense, although he hit the iron several times, but also shot 3 shots, cutting 6 points.
"This black stick is really resolute in his shot, Lao Tzu is about to block him, and he dares to make a move." However, Qin Zheng's long arm still bothered Al Horford to a certain extent, and in the first quarter of the game, Al Horford shot 6 balls, hit 2 of them, and also made Carman a foul and 2 free throws.
In the face of the team's backwardness, Qin Zheng and the entire Clippers team didn't say anything, after all, the opponent's hand is very good, there is nothing to blame for this, the goddess of luck will always be absent one day, it is impossible to give you good luck in every game of a season.
The Clippers believe that the Hawks' luck will run out soon, but the reality still gives the Clippers a slap, the Hawks' feel is still excellent, Joe Johnson's mid-range shooting is still very sharp, Gordon's defense doesn't seem to have any effect on him, but the Clippers have no good defensive players in the scoring guard position, just one Alssoton is still defending Josh Smith.
In the second quarter, the Hawks once again led the Clippers, directly widening the six-point margin to 11 points, and ended the game at 63-52 at halftime.
In the locker room, Dunleavy had to criticize the players, criticizing their poor defense, not paying attention to the game at all, not at all.
When the Clippers strengthened their defense after the start of the third quarter, the situation still did not improve as Dunleavy thought, and the Hawks also strengthened their defense, directly allowing the Clippers' outside players to start playing iron.
Davis didn't feel very good in this game, so Mike Bibby's defense didn't feel difficult, but Gordon and Elsorton faced Joe Johnson and Josh Smith's defense much closer.
The two players no longer had a trace of style in the face of the strangulation of the muscle sticks, and they almost smashed the basket crookedly.
The Clippers' interior line is also under a certain amount of pressure, although Qin Zheng and Kaman Camby are still as strong on offense, but when defending, Al Horford and Marvin Williams are not far behind, as if they have not been disturbed at all, and they are still the same as before.
By the end of the game, the Hawks had scored 118 points, and Joe Johnson scored the highest score of the Hawks, and it was also the highest score of the game 43 points, 12 of 20 shots, 60% shooting, especially this time Joe Johnson's three-point shot was 3 of 3.
It was a loss to the Clippers, but the Clippers also ended their streak of road games.
Dunleavy is still very satisfied with the 6-2 record of the eight-game away. (To be continued.) )
