Chapter 19: First preseason win, new Clippers set sail

"Zizizi, I didn't expect that the Los Angeles Clippers defeated the Timberwolves who were so easy to talk about before the game, and Li Yang enjoyed the treatment of clocking in and out of work in three quarters on his debut!!"

Looking at the huge point difference between the two teams and the decline shown by the Timberwolves, Barkley gloated and smiled: "It's hard to imagine that the Los Angeles Clippers last season were struggling, but they were still far from the door of the playoffs." ”

"And in the first game of the preseason, they defeated the double champion combination of Wiggins + Towns, and I would like to know, aren't the Clippers going to mess up early this season, so what is the fundamental reason for their change of mind??"

After saying that, Barkley put on a look of praising me, and looked at his old partner Smith with a smile.

Kenny Smith smiled helplessly, took over the topic and said, "Charles, you just said a lot of things, obviously you mean something!" ”

"Hehe, you were waiting for me here, didn't you just want me to tout Li Yang, that's right, the fundamental reason for the Clippers to complete the transformation, I think it is Li Yang'!!"

"Li Yang scored 49 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals in his career debut, and his defense against Wiggins in the second quarter was a key turning point that changed the game!"

"Li Yang may be using this game to send a signal to the league that their Clippers are going to rise from the ground!"

Finally, the whistle blew for the end of the game, and the sides of the transparent rebound lit up with red light.

The score was fixed at 128:101, and the Los Angeles Clippers slaughtered the Miami Timberwolves with 27 points in the new season and made a good start to the preseason!!

With 49 points in his preseason debut, he showed us the mysterious power from the East, and his future is limitless and bright!! ”

As the two commentators were talking, the camera was again on the bench for Wiggins.

At this moment, he was wearing a blue towel on his head, his hands were holding his dark cheeks, and his eyes were full of loneliness.

Li Yang's 49 points + 5 assists + 5 rebounds + 3 steals undoubtedly became the best player of the game.

And Li Yang's teammates, the Italian anti-aircraft gun Gallinari played well, and also scored 22 points + 6 rebounds.

The performance of the younger brother Alexander is also remarkable, and he also scored 12 points + 5 assists in his preseason debut.

Although the Polish Hammers are old, they can continue to shine, play their role as a basket protector under the basket, and use the veteran experience to cut down 8 points + 5 rebounds in the backcourt.

Los Angeles Clippers, Li Yang's debut statistics are explosive, but they are not outstanding, and other players have also played well, such as Harris, Gallinari, etc.

Staples Center, Los Angeles, USA.

In his post-match interview, Thibodeau blamed Li Yang for the main reason for the team's loss.

"It's not so much that we lost to the Clippers as we lost to Li Yang." During the post-game interview, Timberwolves head coach Thibodeau complained helplessly.

"We fell into the mistake of inertial thinking, and completely underestimated this amazing boy from the ancient country of the East before the game."

"I've never seen a rookie score 43 points in an NBA opener in the preseason." Thibodeau shook his head and smiled, "But Li Yang did it, that's why we lost the game, it's understandable." ”

Thibodeau, accustomed to the big scene, was not discouraged by an inconsequential defeat in the preseason.

"It's just a preseason game, we still have a lot of time to adjust the lineup, and the next regular season against the Clippers, you're going to see a different Timberwolves, and I'm looking forward to making his regular season debut."

NBA iron-blooded coach Thibodeau showed the free and easy side of the coach after losing the game.

If you want to talk about the Timberwolves, the most regrettable player in this game is Wiggins.

Since Li Yang began to defend him alone in the second quarter, his shooting rate has dropped sharply, his mistakes are frequent, and he has completely lost the performance of the supergod in the first quarter, and he has played anticlimactic, which is really not in line with his identity as a genius.

"Li Yang's performance makes me very ashamed!!" Wiggins, the outside core of the Timberwolves, wiped his nose and was a little ashamed.

"But that's not necessarily a bad thing, the season has just begun, and this defeat is a complete wake-up call for me."

"It seems that I've been too comfortable in the past few years, I'll practice more when I go back, throw away the thermos cup, and wait for the next day to fight again!!"

Wiggins continued: "There's a new fight and I'm going to give it my all against any opponent I face next. ”

"It seems that this defeat is not a bad thing, at least it can make Andrew lose his way and wake up, but I don't know how long this state can last!!"

Thibodeau looked at Mamba Wiggins with a complicated face, and for a while his heart was mixed, both relieved and melancholy, for fear that he would miss the time again.

In contrast, the performance of Towns, another core champion of the Timberwolves, is relatively small.

Downs said to the camera with a look of indignation: "I admit that Li Yang was an important factor in deciding this game, but the main reason is that our lineup has not yet been run-in. ”

Downs stared at the camera tightly, as if everyone in the camera owed him hundreds of millions, "However, the next time we meet in the regular season, I will never be soft, and I will definitely get the field back!" ”

Today's performance of Downs is definitely not worthy of the title of Mr. 100 million, with 18 points and 7 rebounds in the whole game, and the efficiency is very sluggish.

This is also the reason why he was so vicious and hateful after losing the game and disagreed with Li Yang.

I have to say that young people are angry, and if they don't accept it, they will be furious, and their words and deeds are full of a strong atmosphere of rivers and lakes, but this is how the game is exciting.

Li Yang defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves in his preseason debut, so the Timberwolves are bound to make a comeback in the next regular season matchup, and completely get back on the court!

The Timberwolves players were interviewed very quickly, and all the attention of the media reporters was on Li Yang.

More than a dozen media reporters swarmed around Li Yang, stretched their necks, stood on tiptoe, and stretched the microphone towards Li Yang.

"Li Yang, how does it feel to score 49 points in his NBA preseason debut?"

Tania Ganguli, the exclusive reporter of the Los Angeles Times, took the lead, she wore blonde hair, held a microphone in her hand, and calmly handed it to Li Yang's mouth, and asked with a smile.

"It's very exciting, it's not what I imagined."

Li Yangyun said lightly: "The NBA is a wonderful stage, and I feel pretty good right now. ”

Li Yang's unhurried speech made the reporters present stunned for an instant.

Although it was a preseason, he scored 49 points in his debut, how could he behave so easily, calmly, and without any waves......

You know, the career debut of many legendary stars has not been so explosive!

And most importantly, the phrase "the NBA is a wonderful stage", what is it that dares to say this so casually......

"How would you rate the first opponent of your NBA career?" Tania Ganguli seized the opportunity to ask again when many reporters were stunned.

"Well, how do you say that?"

Li Yang carefully organized the language, and then said confidently: "They are a very strong team, and they broke into the highly competitive playoffs last season, so their strength should not be underestimated. ”

"So, you should understand what I'm trying to say."

"What?" Tania Ganguri looked at Li Yang with a confused expression.

Li Yang put away his smile and said sonorously: "The weak Los Angeles Clippers last season have become a thing of the past, and today's Clippers are no longer what they used to be!! ”

Looking at the high-spirited teenager in front of her, Tania Ganguri suddenly remembered what the narrator Barkley had just said.

Li Yang wants to send a signal to all teams through this game: the Clippers have begun to rise and are about to ride the wind and waves and sail away!!

Li Yang's speech was bold and dry, which made people's blood boil.

As the exclusive reporter for the Los Angeles Times, a native of Los Angeles, Tania Ganguli is also excited.

If this quote comes from a superstar who has been in the league for a long time, maybe fans will think it's nothing.

But these words came from the mouth of a rookie, and he was still a Chinese defender, but it really made people's jaws drop!!

Reporters from major media immediately smelled the smell of big news, quickly organized language, processed it, and even some media added fuel and vinegar to upgrade Li Yang's words, printed Li Yang's cover pictorial, and released one news headline after another.

"Rookie Li Yang scored 49 points in his preseason debut, the first in history in the past two decades!"

"A sign of rising? Can the magical Oriental kid Li Yang inject new power into the Clippers? ”

"Rookie Li Yang overturned the Timberwolves backcourt with one hand, is he a flash in the pan, or does he really have the level of a top star?"

"Breaking the record in his debut, all-round offensive and defensive, has the talented rookie Li Yang locked in the 2018-2019 Rookie of the Year spot in advance!!"

"Rookie Li Yang is a combination of Curry and Kobe, but the No. 13 inheritance has been determined in the dark!"

Originally, some news media were ready to make some criticism of Li Yang's post-match pretending to be coercive.

But the problem is that Li Yang's debut results are amazing enough, and the 49 points in a single game really give him the capital to be proud of, which cannot be refuted, so he can only sit back and wait for Li Yang's next performance.
