"Sacramento Kings vs. Los Angeles Clippers: Miserable!"

After the first round of the playoffs in the West, after the first game, many media outlets made quite sensational headlines.

With Cousins yelling at the referee, Thomas Jr. chasing Paul with all kinds of punches, and Green being held down by his teammates on the sidelines, so he didn't rush into the court.

Seeing the news of the additional punishment given by the league after the game, deciding to ban Cousins and Thomas Jr. for two games, and the whole team of the Kings being fined, many fans who don't know the real situation decided their heads directly on their thighs, and sprayed without saying a word.

However, when people opened the news link in indignation, carefully read the content, and clicked on the two videos.

All controversy stopped in an instant.

The entire wind of public opinion has turned 180 degrees.

The spearhead of the people is directly aimed at the Los Angeles Clippers.

"Bang!"

In the first video, after Gu Yu completed the violent buckle, Paul behind him didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, and crashed straight up, knocking Gu Yu to the ground. The sound made by Gu Yu when he landed on the ground could be heard from afar, and all the fans who were more familiar with basketball pinched a cold sweat for Gu Yu.

Because people know what kind of results this kind of collision of the body in mid-air and the balance cannot be controlled.

Unbelief? Look at the video of Bynum hitting Charlotte Sakuragi Hanamichi Gerald Wallace with an elbow, and you'll understand.

The second video is even more shocking and exciting.

"Bang bang bang...... Swish! ”

In the second half of the game, Gu Yu, whose eyes were covered with gauze and swollen like steamed buns, returned as the king.

And, keep scoring!

"It's like no one!"

When mentioning Gu Yu's wonderful performance in the second half of this game, I don't know how many fans used such a description.

Gu Yu, who only had one eye to see the court, did not have the slightest timidity, although it was obvious that the proportion of shooting was more than the breakthrough, but when it was time to do it, it was done, and there was no cowardice at all. As if the person whose eyes were injured and whose knees and arms still bled from time to time were not himself, but his counterpart, he chased and beat him all the way without stopping at all.

Throughout the second half of the game, the Clippers had no respite, and were chased and beaten by the angry Kings players, and the mother who beat them didn't know each other, and they were unrecognizable.

"This kind of team deserves to be called a strong team??"

Of course, there are also a lot of metamorphosis who ran out, taking this opportunity to start booing Paul and the Clippers, belittling the Clippers and raising the Kings.

Some people have even compared Gu Yu's move directly to the most famous moment of the return of the king in history, thinking that this is a sign that the Kings are about to dominate the league.

This statement is naturally exaggerated. The Kings have indeed become very strong, and the offense is devastating, but the problem of roster depth, the problem of defensive end, and the problem of consistency are still there. In such a wild season, when so many strong teams continue to compete in arms and strengthen themselves, there is still a big gap for the Kings to really hit the championship trophy.

So why do these people take this opportunity to blow the Kings, take the Clippers to open the shabu, and the wall is down and everyone pushes it? ?

"Because of Paul."

In the analysis program of the TV station, expert Simmons said: "Or rather, because of the temperament of the Clippers team. ”

"Oh? How so? The moderator asked.

"Paul is a top player, a superstar in the league, a point guard with all the time, both stats and on-court performances, there's no doubt about that."

Simmons said: "I'm not questioning his ability, I'm not questioning the ability of the Clippers, Griffin, Jordan Jr., Butler, Billups, Crawford and other players, they are all strong players, and the combination of the style of play is also very good, and everyone likes it." ”

"However, the Clippers have changed a lot in temperament since Paul became the owner."

As he spoke, a lot of video footage appeared on the screen, and if you looked closely, it was all clips taken from the Clippers game.

In the picture, led by Paul, the players of the Clippers seem to go up as soon as possible every time they suffer an unfavorable penalty, and find the referee to theorize. The expression on everyone's face is innocent, like a white lotus "flawless", if the referee ignores it, he will wave his hand angrily, as if he has been greatly wronged.

In the game, Paul's small actions at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, Griffin's obvious hand pressing when he dunked at a distance, Crawford's suspicious steps and other details were also completely magnified by such highlights.

Although it seems that this is still a failure, Simmons's point of view has struck a lot of chords.

"Paul likes to complain about the whistle, about the situation, about the other person's movements. When he made a small move, he pretended not to know, completely stayed out of the matter, and ran faster than anyone else. ”

Simmons said: "This is the biggest black spot on Paul's body. ”

…… That's true!

As soon as Simmons said this and that, and as soon as the video was played, countless neutral fans in front of the TV also nodded.

You're great, we admit it, but you like to complain about whistles, and you have to admit it, right?

With Paul, the Clippers immediately went from an ordinary team to a powerhouse, and they have a good chance of making their mark in the playoffs. But at the same time, Paul also brought a very bad atmosphere to the Clippers.

"Well, the whole Clippers team right now is very, very fond of complaining about the whistle. Whether it is offensive or defensive, there will be some problems in action. The person who doesn't like to complain and moves the cleanest in the whole Clippers team is probably DeAndre Jordan......! ”

"You say that, it seems like it's true."

After Simmons finished speaking, the host nodded heavily, and countless pictures of past games and the content of the post-game news all came to mind for the first time.

The Clippers are a strong team, nothing to say.

But why do the Clippers always disappoint people in terms of record, especially in the playoffs?

Is it really just our cliché "there is no top point of attack with the ball other than Paul"?

Of course not.

How many teams in a strong team and a championship-level team dare to say that they have more than two top-level attacking points with the ball?

The Heat count as one, the 76ers barely count as one (Curry hasn't started to live day by day at this time), and the rest, the Lakers? Spur? Or ...... King?

I don't think I can do it!

"It's not a big question if there's a second top point of attack with the ball, you let that old drunkard from San Antonio be the coach, as long as the team has a level above the level, give him a little time, he can pinch and build a team for you to make a team that can hit the division finals."

Simmons continued: "But the Clippers themselves can't do it. ”

"Why?" The moderator asked.

"It's simple."

Simmons smiled mysteriously and said, "The Clippers don't play against the wind." ”

"That's to the point!"

Sacramento Team Center, Prep Room.

"The Clippers are really good, even if DeMarcus and Isaiah don't get sent out, to be honest, we don't have absolute certainty that they won't play such a dazzling first half."

Marcus Thornton listened to Simmons' analysis, nodded and said: "But as long as we get up and catch up with each other, or even overtake, they don't seem to be able to play, and everyone is confused!" ”

"That's their biggest weakness."

On the side, Westphaal said: "I'll show you the analysis of the TV station, that is, for this purpose, I want you to understand that the Clippers are definitely not as strong as they seem on paper." ”

Lao Shuai's words, everyone fell into deep thought.

"I know that we can't get help from DeMarcus and Isaiah in the next game, in the next game......"

"I'm sorry, Coach ......"

Westphale's midway through the sentence came when Cousins and Thomas Jr. lowered their heads and confessed their mistake first.

"Bah, you're sorry for the?? I think you're doing a great job! ”

On the side of the two, Gu Yu, who was still swollen in one eye, stretched out his hand, slapped the two brothers fiercely, glared and said, "If you want me to say, your previous actions were not ruthless enough, it's better to get them down directly!" ”

"This ...... Xiao Yu? ”

Westphall looked back at Xiao Yu with a smile and said, "This sentence...... Don't report it out, right?? ”

"Ha, of course not~"

Xiao Yu nodded, she wasn't so stupid.

"I continued."

Westafar continued: "For the next two games, our starting lineup will be Tyreck, Gu, Francisco, Draymond, Jason, you five. ”

Gu Yu and the others nodded.

"The interior attack of this lineup is weak, and the strongest point of the Clippers is the interior twin tower combination, but you don't have to worry, we don't have to fight with them to attack inside, what we have to do is two things."

The old coach stretched out two fingers as if he was gesturing, eliciting a good-natured laugh from the players.

"First of all, the intensity on the defensive end, the intensity of desperately fighting with them with bayonets, every dribble, every attack, every shot, every pass, every move, is very difficult. Let them know that we are powerful, and let them not dare to do the slightest action. ”

"Understood!"

This task naturally fell on Green and Thompson, and the two insiders glanced at each other and nodded heavily.

"The second mission...... Terek, Gu. ”

The old coach looked at Gu Yu and Evans: "I don't care what method you use, in the next two games, you will give me an iron head, and the ball will be ...... inside!" ”
