"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle for the start of the match.

To Richard's frustration, the Clippers lost the jump ball again......

The Timberwolves sent Beasley jump balls, and the current Timberwolves lineup is actually very bad, not even better than the Clippers.

Under normal circumstances, there is still a Lefu in the Timberwolves team at the moment, but because of Richard, they don't even have Lefu now, and the only one in the lineup who can handle it is Beasley.

With such a large tonnage as Eddie Curry, the bullet rate is certainly not much better.

As for Griffin, the disadvantage of arm span is too great, and the effect of the jump ball link is not very good.

So since the preseason, the Clippers have never won against an opponent in jumpball......

It's quite embarrassing.

Think about the past, the jump ball session can be said to be the world of Richard's team.

During the peak Trail Blazers, there was a jumping king Xiao Ao.

Later, during the Pistons, there was Clarke, who had extremely buggy physical fitness, on the team.

Later in the Pirate period, there was Auden......

Anyway, when it comes to jumping ball, Richard's team has always been the top presence in the league before.

But now it's not good, the Clippers' jump ball is simply how to jump and how to lose, which is quite embarrassing.

……

The Timberwolves attacked with the ball, and finally Beasley shot this offensive round, and Beasley is the absolute offensive core of the Timberwolves at the moment.

"Duang ......" opened with a direct hit and the rebound was collected by Griffin.

The Clippers' possession, after Blake got the ball to the front court, he watched Griffin be defended by Beasley and passed the ball directly to Sun Yue.

Although Richard has never said in public that Sun Yue is the team's No. 2 offensive point, as long as he is not a fool, he should be able to maintain Sun Yue's status in this Clippers team.

He is a veteran under Richard, and Richard has now promoted him to the starting position, but he is not allowed to play soy sauce.

Blake is obviously not a fool, without saying a word, he passed the ball to Sun Yue, and then took the initiative to run and make a block for Sun Yue.

The No. 1 player does the blocking, and the effect must not be much better.

But Sun Yue still made a resolute move.

In the face of the opponent's way, Sun Yue shot three points, only to hear a snort, and the ball was scored directly.

"Beautiful, this ball is so beautiful."

"Sun Yue can definitely play with the Clippers, and I feel like he can be selected as an All-Star this season."

Zhang Weiping shouted excitedly in the domestic commentary room.

Then came the Timberwolves' offensive round, and Beasley scored a mid-range shot this time, showing quite good offensive firepower.

The current Beasley is actually much easier to use than normal, at least in terms of offensive stability.

The Timberwolves have quite a lot of expectations from Beasley right now, and he's being groomed as the new Wolf King.

It's the Clippers' offensive round again, as if it is a copy of the previous round, Blake passed the ball to Sun Yue after the ball went to the front court, and then took the initiative to help Sun Yue do the blocking.

"Huh!" Sun Yue's shot hit again.

This time it wasn't a three-point shot, but a throw-down shot after the block.

succeeded in two attacks in a row, and Sun Yue on the field became more and more confident, which made Griffin on the field a little stunned.

Although Sun Yue is a compatriot of Richard and has a relationship with an old general, Griffin actually doesn't take Sun Yue too seriously.

Griffin is definitely a newcomer at the pride of the sky, averaging about 25 points and 12 rebounds per game in the preseason, which perfectly matches his identity as the top pick.

And Sun Yue could only be regarded as a qualified substitute at best before this, the huge identity gap between the two sides, how could Griffin put Sun Yue in his eyes.

And in the opening few offensive rounds tonight, Sun Yue showed quite good offensive firepower, which made Griffin happy.

Although he knows that the Clippers will not be able to do much this year, he still hopes to have a helper around him to help him share the pressure.

Now Sun Yue is obviously able to do this, because Sun Yue started with a good offensive performance, the Timberwolves have called a timeout and began to arrange defensive tactics against Sun Yue.

This has relieved Griffin of a lot of pressure, he was originally the main target of the opponent's strict defense on the court, and now that Sun Yue can help him share some of the pressure, it is expected that he can also play more easily.

……

With 3 minutes left in the first quarter, Richard replaced Sun Yue.

Sun Yue's performance tonight was definitely explosive, with 9 minutes of playing time, scoring 11 points with good efficiency, which simply stunned everyone.

The domestic fan base is completely boiling, and they have been looking forward to this day for a long time.

The Chinese players have proven themselves to be good on the inside, but on the outside are a bit awkward......

The only lone seedling, Sun Yue, has never had any outstanding performance.

And tonight's Sun Yue's performance can definitely be called an all-star level.

Although the Timberwolves are a weak chicken team, such data is not very high, but even so, it is enough to make domestic fans happy.

There is such an outbreak, which will definitely make Sun Yue play confidently, and I hope that Sun Yue can really become a qualified starting outside player in the future.

As for becoming an All-Star, few fans really dare to think so far at the moment.

"Good job, that's how you play in the future, you have to have confidence in yourself." Richard smiled and patted Sun Yue on the shoulder and said.

Sun Yue nodded excitedly, he didn't know what was going on in him, but he felt that his strength seemed to be much stronger than before.

Sun Yue, who was in the preseason before, did not mean that he could only get 10 shots per game, mainly because he didn't dare to shoot.

But tonight, he felt that the whole person was full of confidence, as long as the ball was in his hands, if the opponent did not use the bag on him, he would dare to shoot.

Exuding a strong sense of confidence from the inside out.

"Coach, I won't let you down." Sun Yue said excitedly.

He may have been used to playing soy sauce before, but tonight he suddenly played such a performance, and the whole person was full of energy.

"Good!" Richard nodded with satisfaction, he was getting more and more satisfied with Sun Yue's performance.

In the past three years, Sun Yue's attitude towards the game has matured step by step, and maybe he can really make good achievements in the future.

If Sun Yue can really rise in the future, then he will probably become a typical late bloomer.

The current Sun Yue is actually not young anymore, when he entered the league before, in fact, even if he was an older rookie, although he only played three seasons, but now Sun Yue's age is 25 years old.

……

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, Sun Yue's outside basket was inaccurate, but his one-handed breakthrough ability was still able to create good damage, and he scored 7 points in this quarter.

Zhang Weiping was already in the commentary room, and his voice was hoarse.

"Play with him, Sun Yue."

"Yes, it should be fought like this, and it is reasonable to fight like this."

"Hat him!"

Under Zhang Weiping's passionate commentary, domestic fans seem to be like the New Year, and Sun Yue's performance tonight is definitely at the all-star level.

I couldn't fault anything on the offensive end, and the 18-point half-time score was pretty good.

As for the defensive end, because the opponent is too weak, I can't see much of it, but the 2 blocks and 1 steal in the halftime are amazing enough.

……

Griffin continued to perform steadily, and under the leadership of him and Sun Yue, the advantage on the field gradually expanded.

By the end of the third quarter, the Clippers had led by 11 points.

In the fourth quarter of the game, halfway through, as the point difference broke through to 20 points, the Timberwolves head coach replaced the main lineup and announced that the game had entered garbage time.

Richard also replaced Griffin and Sun Yue.

This game was won quite heartily, although the Timberwolves are very weak, but this regular season opener won can be regarded as a good start to the new season.

At the end of the game, Griffin steadily came up with 23 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists, which was definitely quite against the sky as a career debut.

And Sun Yue's performance tonight made the few fans of the Clippers feel happy, with 27 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals, as if playing the data of the league's first-line guard swingman.

Although the offensive efficiency is a little bit less interesting, but who cares so much at the moment, winning and the statistics are good, this is a perfect game.

……

Tonight's game is the home of the Clippers, and the attendance is not particularly ideal, and Richard expected that.

It will take a lot of time for the Clippers to really rise in Los Angeles, and Richard is ready to fight a long game.
