Chapter 127: The Lakers and the Cavaliers
After playing the game against the Lakers, it was two real away games in a row, and Qin Zheng followed the team on the plane early to their next destination, Memphis. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
His opponent is also an opponent he has met before, the Memphis Grizzlies.
In the half month when Qin Zheng rested, the Grizzlies' rookie, Griffin, became a big hit, winning two Western Conference Rookie of the Week awards, averaging 22 points and 10 rebounds per game.
This is also the second rookie who can get 20+10 after Qin Zheng, so a large number of media began to brag about Griffin, saying that he is a rookie once in 20 years, and the last player who can cut 20+10 during his rookie period is Duncan, and the reason why the media brags about Griffin is only because Griffin is an American.
However, Qin Zheng is also disdainful of Griffin, what if he cut 20+10 in the rookie period, and he didn't make it to the Western Conference Finals with Jordan Jr. and Chris Paul, what else to say.
"So, Paul, you better come to me, I promise you can win the championship." Since this game is Qin Zheng's first comeback after being banned, the entire referee team is also very concerned about him, Qin Zheng also found this problem in the process of the game, as long as he moves a little bigger, he will blow his foul, so that Qin Zheng played carefully in the end.
Jumping ball, Griffin is not Qin Zheng's opponent. In this game, Randolph did not start and was replaced by Griffin.
This jumping man has also become Qin Zheng's opponent, in fact, both he and little Gasol have a headache in the face of Qin Zheng.
First, Qin Zheng's height and weight are all advantages, second, his shooting is very good, third, you don't dare to play small tricks with him, look at Garnett is a role model, he was knocked out by Qin Zheng with a kick and a punch, and then he successfully lay on the hospital bed for a week before getting out of bed, and Qin Zheng also heard that Garnett was diagnosed with a moderate concussion, and he hasn't played until now.
No one wants to be the second Garnett, although since the last fight, the referees will definitely control Qin Zheng strictly, but who can guarantee that Qin Zheng will not make a move? No one wants to be this early bird.
Therefore, the game with Qin Zheng is all about rules and regulations, and he doesn't use small actions.
In fact, they all wronged Qin Zheng, and the occasional small action is harmless, but the means of stepping on tiptoes and setting up elbows are what Qin Zheng hates the most, you are obviously going to the waste, you are not playing basketball, you are not even as good as boxing, and the boxer still wears gloves.
The Clippers' starting interior line is Qin Zheng and Carman, which is also their strongest combination and the strongest point of the entire Clippers team.
But look at the Grizzlies' side, the interior line is also quite good, Gasol Jr., Randolph and Griffin are all able to cut 20+10 inside.
However, they didn't have enough to see in the face of Qin Zheng, Gasol Jr.'s low-post throwing lost its power in front of Qin Zheng, when Qin Zheng was standing under the basket, he didn't dare and couldn't throw under the basket, he tried it just now, and was directly fanned away by Qin Zheng.
And to improve to a high position, Gasol Jr.'s mid-range shot has not yet reached a certain level, so Griffin, a stunned young man, changed positions with Gasol Jr., and he still wanted to fight Qin Zheng.
After this half-month outburst, he felt that he was not much worse than Qin Zheng, so defeating Qin Zheng was his goal.
"Smack!" Griffin's low-post shot was blocked by Qin Zheng.
"Smack!" Griffin's strong dunk under the basket was also blocked by Qin Zheng.
In the end, Grizzlies head coach Hollins had no choice but to replace Griffin with Randolph.
Since Randolph came on the court, the Grizzlies have performed a lot better, at least Randolph can pull up the high post and open up space for his teammates to break through.
Carman couldn't defend himself under the basket alone, so it didn't take long for the Grizzlies to catch up.
But Qin Zheng quickly extinguished this flame, and Qin Zheng, who was banned for 15 days, was like a young man who had been abstinent for half a month.
constantly dunked in the low post, kept shooting in the high post, and felt particularly good, he alone blew up the Grizzlies' interior combination.
However, the Grizzlies are not a team that surrenders so quickly and concedes defeat, the two teams have been fighting until the last moment, Qin Zheng has a mid-range shot, and Gordon has a three-pointer to lay the foundation for the game.
In the end, the Clippers won 109-104 over the Grizzlies.
Qin Zheng also won the best player of the game, playing 41 minutes and scoring 46 points, 26 rebounds and a high 7 blocks, and finally made Rudy Gay, Mike Conley and OJ Mayo dare not break inside.
After playing the game against the Grizzlies, the Clippers quickly took the bus to the next city, New Orleans.
Back-to-back games, the Clippers always seem weak in this game, even if Qin Zhengsheng is alive and well, but no matter how hard one person tries, he can't do the twelve people of the Hornets.
The Hornets, under the leadership of Queen Bee Paul, successfully sent the defeat to the Clippers, and throughout the game, the Hornets shot 17 three-pointers, while the Clippers only had Qin Zheng shoot one three-pointer.
That's right, you read that right, the only three-point shot made by the Clippers was indeed thrown by Qin Zheng, and none of the other fourteen three-pointers could be hit, which is one of the reasons why the Clippers lost.
And the whole team of the Hornets played particularly well in this game, in addition to the three-point shot, their two-point shooting rate was also very high, reaching 59%, compared to the Clippers' 43%, which is simply a two-grade team.
In the end, the Clippers lost by only 14 points at 94:108, which was already the result of Qin Zheng's outburst.
Yesterday only played more than 40 minutes, this game, Qin Zheng played more than 40 minutes, the Hornets did not have a big lead of twenty or thirty points, so that the Clippers were desperate, so they hung the Clippers for more than ten points, making Dunleavy hesitate.
It wasn't until the final minutes of the fourth quarter that a wave of air swept away the game, and Dunleavy was simply annoyed.
Who's going to let them go back to Los Angeles after the game and have to have another back-to-back game after a day off?
The players were so tired from both games that some people fell asleep on the bus after the game was over.
Even if they've just gone through a tough battle.
When he arrived at the hotel, Qin Zheng was still woken up by Little Jordan.
The next day, the Clippers stayed up until 10 o'clock, had breakfast and then flew to Los Angeles to wait for another big fight against their rivals in the same city.
Last time because Qin Zheng was banned, the Clippers were easily beaten by the Lakers, this time Qin Zheng plans to get back on the court, and if the Lakers remember correctly, they are the defending champions this year, and if they want to go further, they will definitely meet them.
And more importantly, after the big battle with the Lakers, the Clippers have another back-to-back game, which is the game against the Cavaliers, the No. 1 team in the East, which is also the first time Qin Zheng has a direct conversation with LeBron James. (To be continued.) )
