Chapter 286: The Game Begins
But it is also in this position, little Jordan has become the representative of the second-round show counterattack, and his counterattack is very classic Don't give me a chance, if you give me a chance, then I'm embarrassed!
I'm sure I'll be able to climb up!
Jordan Jr. has been tepid in the first two seasons of the league, and the shortcomings of poor basic skills have been exposed, with a free throw shooting rate of less than 40%, and he has not played any playing time, but in the 2010-11 season, due to the injury of the team's main center Chris Carman, DeAndre Jordan began to serve as the starting center, and seized the opportunity to play his value.
Playing in 80 games throughout the season, including 66 starts, averaging 7.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in 25 minutes per game, shooting 68.6% from the field, his interior combination with Blake Griffin has also become the hope of the Clippers in the future.
It was also after this season that he received offers from all sides of the NBA, and on December 12, 2011, the Clippers confirmed that they would match the Warriors' offer for DeAndre Jordan. The Clippers and DeAndre Jordan are on a four-year contract worth $43.04 million.
In other words, it only took Jordan three seasons to make himself a 10-million-level star, and before the player's salary was not inflationary, this salary represented that Jordan Jr.'s level was at least the league's first-line level!
However, it was only after Paul came that Jordan Jr. really established his reputation in the entire league, especially on March 11, 2013, when the Clippers defeated the Pistons 129-97 at home, Jordan Jr. became famous!
He played a total of 27 minutes and 03 seconds, shooting all 5 from the field and 3-of-5 from the free-throw range to finish with 13 points, seven rebounds, two blocks and one assist.
The stats are no different from usual, but in the game, Jordan's dunk of Pistons guard Brandon Knight attracted widespread attention.
After the game, many NBA players, including LeBron James, praised Jordan for his "dunk of the year" against Knight.
Another interesting thing about this goal is that Blanton Knight was added to the Wikipedia entry for this goal: "On March 10, 2013, Knight died in a game against the Los Angeles Clippers, and the cause of death was determined to be DeAndre Jordan." ”
Jordan Jr.'s entry was not spared, the middle name of his full name was altered to "killer", and the following was added to the introduction: "On March 10, 2013, Jordan was charged with first-degree murder for the horrific assassination of Detroit Pistons guard Blanton Knight; Knight died in mid-air. ”
Since then, Jordan Jr. has been rampant in the league with his terrifying physical fitness and has become the top representative of the league's blue-collar players.
On July 9, 2015, the Clippers officially announced that they had signed DeAndre Jordan to a four-year contract with a maximum salary of $87.6 million, with a player option in the final year.
This contract is more than double his first one... It can be seen that he has grown over the years.
。。。。。。
The two teams jumped in the middle circle, this time Lopez did not give the Bulls the right to attack first, no way, in front of Jordan Jr., he was still a little weak.
The Clippers have the right to attack first...
Teodosic holds the ball and faces Li Ming, his congenital physical condition is excellent, he is 1.96 meters tall and weighs 95 kilograms, he can play both the No. 1 and No. 2 positions, with solid basic skills and comprehensive skills! He has great organizational skills and shooting ability.
Similarly, as a defender with excellent ball sense, he can often provide unexpected assists to his teammates, and he has a team mentality and a great sense of the big picture.
Li Ming didn't guarantee that he would be able to eat him alone, so he didn't push too hard, but looked at him from a short distance.
The latter is a team player, and the first ball was directly taught to the hands of the interior Gallinelli, don't look at Gallinelli playing the power forward position in the Clippers, but he is actually more of a small forward.
He reaches a height of 2.08 meters, which is almost the highest height in the small forward position.
You won't suffer in the power forward position either!
In the subconscious of most NBA players, most European players of this height are "anti-aircraft guns" forwards, such as Nowitzki, and for example, the armor, all of whom are in the NBA with one-handed shooting!
But Gallinari's anti-aircraft gun is different, he does shoot, but he prefers to rush inside to shoot in close quarters: Gallinari's shooting stats confirm this, and half of Gallinari's offense from the three-point line is completed under the basket.
And Gallinari has a high basketball IQ, has a wide vision in the game, is very good at making opponents' fouls, and has tenacious game belief and fighting spirit. Gallinari's breakthrough is a straight-line acceleration with little change of direction, and the benefits of his ferocious style are obvious: frequent free throws.
And the ultra-high free throw rate and accurate free throw shooting rate have improved Gallinari's offensive efficiency!
This is also the reason why the Clippers put him on the power forward, since he is not afraid of confrontation, and he is certainly not afraid of the opponent's fouls, making fouls is always the easiest way to score!
Otherwise, why is it said that Harden's way of playing will extend his peak for at least a decade?
In other words, as long as Harden doesn't have any major injuries, he will be the best player in the NBA for the next decade!
Isn't it because he often uses fouls to score?
There's really nothing to say when you think about it!
This saves effort and avoids injury.
But it's a pity that Gallinelli's breakthrough is not as soft as Harden, he is very tough, of course, this does not affect him to make shooting fouls!
"Toot!"
The whistle sounded the moment he got out of his hand, and the scene was naturally dissatisfied, because the foul was blown at the beginning, and the home fans of the Bulls looked a little too partial to the Clippers!
That's too much to take the Bulls' home court seriously, right?
However, their dissatisfaction did not affect the referee's decision, and Gallinelli walked on the court to execute the penalty kick, because he had just come on the court, the big guys were full of energy, and their breathing was not disordered, and it was normal to score free throws.
Both free throws were hit, and there were boos on the scene, and even a banner was erected: "The man who lives by free throws!" ”
This banner is for Harden, but I can't wait for them lately, so it's not in vain, as long as someone goes to the free throw line, Bulls fans can't wait to put up this banner...
When it was Li Ming's turn to attack, he also didn't play from the beginning in the face of Teodosic, and he also wanted to raise the feel of his teammates!
And so ... The ball is in LaVine's hands!
The latter is facing Bradley, which is a bit difficult!
