Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Western Emperor? Great? Who gives the courage!!
"Finally won!" Li Yang exhaled a long breath.
This game was very tough, this was on the home court of the Thunder, and the Clippers were still relatively inferior in terms of lineup, fighting for four quarters, falling behind at one point, and only losing by one point.
Fortunately, in the end, the Clippers will work together, blossom more, catch the Thunder off guard, and finally lock up the win.
"Thanks to everyone's help." Thinking of this, Li Yang looked at his teammates, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Beverly, Alexander, Harris, Harrell and others rushing over with a hula, and before Li Yang could speak, everyone surrounded him in the middle, and he was quickly submerged in the crowd.
"Hey, let go, my flowing hair."
"I'll go, Patrick, where are you caught, that place is not for you, lightly......"
"Coach, save me, ...... quickly" Li Yang shouted loudly, but no one paid attention to him, and everyone surrounded him in the middle, unspeakably excited.
On the sidelines, Rivers laughed happily as well.
In the audience, Clippers fans were also excited, and some fans even cried with joy, this game was too difficult to play.
After the game, TNT interviewed Li Yang, who only scored 33 points in this game, although he couldn't beat the silicone combination with one against two, but don't forget, he also contributed a season-high 15 assists, plus 6 rebounds and 2 steals, which is already very good.
……
On Nov. 2, the Clippers will sit at the Staples Center to take on the 76ers, led by the Great and the West.
Under the leadership of former general manager Cinki, the Philadelphia 76ers have gradually become a team capable of contending for the playoffs, especially after selecting Embiid and Simmons in previous years.
In September this year, the Philadelphia 76ers officially announced that the team officially hired former NBA star Elton Brand as the team's general manager, and Alex Rucker was promoted to the team's vice president of basketball operations.
"I can understand the expectations that people are looking forward to this team, which drives us towards a championship," Brand said at a press conference, adding, "The 76ers are on the cusp of doing something special, and the next 12 months are very important." ”
As a 2014 rookie, Embiid is a talented interior player.
When he stepped into the NBA, there were already many fans who affectionately called him "The Great".
Embiid has very good coordination and athleticism, as well as ball handling and shooting, and is very aggressive on the offensive end, and he is also very good at lateral movement when defending, and his best skills are blocks and rebounds.
Embiid's height of 2.13 meters is also advantageous in the center position, and he can also complete a series of technical movements such as turning on the outside to score the ball, and his low-post singles skills are first-class.
And it's worth mentioning that Embiid has a three-point shooting rate of about 30% and remains a threat from the outside.
Ben Simmons is a rookie who has just entered the league and is known as the "Western Emperor".
He combines the delicate skills of a backcourt player, as well as the strength and momentum of a forward player, strong assault ability, and at the same time as individual singles, basketball vision is beyond the average player, passing the ball is quite accurate, and he is a ruthless man who can play from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position.
Ben Simmons has a high IQ in basketball, a selfless style of play, a combination of individual offense and team organization, strong ball handling, excellent rebounding ability, and good scoring and passing in the transition offense.
Ben Simmons is a strong man with the speed, passing and ball control of a defender, as well as court vision, and is more inside-leaning in his overall style of play, with great talent and good defensive instincts.
The 76ers are in very good shape right now, and the duo of Simmons + Embiid has made great progress last season, not only successfully reaching the playoffs but also reaching the second round.
That being said, before this game began, many fans still didn't think the 76ers would be able to walk away from the Staples Center.
The reason is very simple, that is, because Li Yang and Harris have become more and more tacit in cooperation, and the form of the two in the last few games is really good!!
After defeating the Thunder with the Turtle and Pickled Pepper away from home, Li Yang completely made a name for himself in the NBA and instantly became the most influential rookie king in the NBA!
For Li Yang, he doesn't care much about the evaluation of the outside world, all of this is a floating cloud, and now he just wants to play every game seriously.
In the last game against the Thunder, Li Yang unexpectedly completed the hidden mission, so he also received an additional reward of 2 free attribute points after the game.
After careful consideration, Li Yang finally decided to add these two free attributes to three points, and now Li Yang's three-point attribute value has reached 95.
In recent years, the NBA has gradually begun to focus on the outside line, and at the same time, the 2 attribute points are added to other positions to have little effect, and it can be added to the strongest long-range shot to maximize its effect!!
The current NBA is no longer the flesh and blood of a decade ago, and every team is focusing on developing three-point shooters.
Whichever team has the highest three-point shooting percentage will win the championship!
Therefore, adding attributes to the three-point line must be a profitable and not loss-making deal for Li Yang.
Before the start of the game between the Clippers and the 76ers, Li Yang was once again given the task released by the system.
[Mission in this game: Assists: 15+, Score: 30+]
[Quest Reward: 1 Free Attribute Point, Few is Better Than None!!] 】
"I'll go! The reward for this quest is too shabby, isn't it? ”
Li Yang saw that only 1 free attribute value was rewarded, and couldn't help but complain!
However, Li Yang will still work hard to complete the mission goal, after all, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, and 1 free attribute point is also a treasure!!
In the pre-game reporter's interview, Coach Brown, who played away from home, also highlighted Li Yang.
"Young is the rookie with the highest ball quotient I've ever seen, I've watched most of his games, he's a true genius, and he's the best choice for almost every time he handles the ball!!"
"This type of player is the type of player that every coach dreams of, and it's a shame that the team didn't sign Yang this year!!"
As the game was about to begin, the Staples Center Arena was packed, and the fans were dancing to the music.
Every Clippers fan on the scene had confidence written on their faces, and after defeating the Wizards and Thunder in a row, Clippers fans are no longer afraid of any team!!
In the Staples Center Arena, you can clearly see a lot of Chinese slogans, and there are also many fans holding up homemade posters of Li Yang.
It only took 7 games for Li Yang to completely conquer the fans in Los Angeles!!
The starting line-ups of both teams have been announced on the big screen at the scene.
The Clippers are still the starting lineup that continued with the last win over the Thunder.
Beverley [Point Guard], Reed [Scoring Guard], Harris [Small Forward], Gallinari [Power Forward], Gortat [Center].
Li Yang is not in the starting list today, which is a little surprising to the fans, according to common sense, with the current strength of Li Yang to enter the starting line, there is basically no problem!
The reason why Rivers didn't let Li Yang play the starting game today today was mainly to train his troops and reduce his dependence on Li Yang.
The starting lineup of the 76ers is as follows: Simmons [point guard], Fultz [scoring guard], Covington [small forward], Sharic [power forward], Embiid [center].
Before the start of the game, the players of the two teams shook hands with each other in a friendly manner.
This time, the jump ball was contested by Embiid and Gortat the Hammer.
With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.
It was Embiid who grabbed the ball first.
Embiid relied on his height advantage and bounce to easily snatch the basketball from the top of Gortat's head.
Embiid immediately threw the basketball to Simmons.
The 76ers are a young team, and in this team, they mainly revolve around the duo, Embiid and Simmons are inside and outside, and they work together very well.
After Simmons got the ball to the frontcourt, he immediately ushered in Harris's defense.
Simmons is not good at scoring, and although Harris's defensive ability is average, it is still relatively difficult for Simmons to complete the score.
So Simmons immediately passed the basketball to Embiid who was stuck inside.
Embiid is undoubtedly the 76ers' best firepower, and when he receives the basketball, he just grabbed a favorable position in Gortat's matchup.
Embiid chose to hit Gortat with his back after taking the ball, and he used his feet and strength to hit the board after turning around and successfully hitting two points!
2:0, Embiid took the lead for the 76ers.
