Chapter 13: Amazing Summer League

Liu Su's summer league was held in Las Vegas. He played for www.biquge.info Clippers, and in addition to another rookie, Ryan, he also had the team's bench players.

Liu Su and his teammates also understood the situation of these people after the round, and Ryan Gomez, who is also a rookie, is a swingman who may be useful when playing small-ball tactics, but his prospect is just an important rotation player.

Other players who participated in the summer league were fellow point guard Sean Livingston, a rookie last year, who was a substitute for alien Cassel and was a player competing for a position with Liu Su.

Quinton Rose, who also joined the Clippers last year but was not drafted, is an outside defense expert, a swingman at the front, and not very good at offense.

Serbian player Serk Rebraxia, a center forward, is not very important, averaging about 15 minutes per game, and wants to perform well in the summer league, hoping that the coach will increase his playing time. However, he will definitely be disappointed, the Clippers have Elton Brand and Chris Carman, two prime interior players, and Chris Wilcox to compete with him. The only thing he was thankful for was that Chris Wilcox was detained by police in June on suspicion of drunk driving and gun possession, and was unable to play in the Summer League.

Water cooler keeper Walter McCarty, veteran Howard Eisley, and a few other draft picks looking to impress the team by performing well in summer league, the Clippers formed a 12-man team and headed to Las Vegas together.

When he was in Los Angeles, Liu Su had a joint training with the team and achieved the position of starting point guard in the summer league through performance. The point guard is the Sean Livingston also cultivated by the team, and the old Dunleavy wanted to try a double point guard play, originally he wanted to put Livingston in the position of a scoring guard, after all, his style of play is more like a scoring guard, but Livingston is too difficult to defend a scoring guard, and Liu Su can defend some tall guards, so there is such an arrangement.

The center is Selke Breraxia, the power forward and small forward are handed over to the undrafted picks, and the two cooler guards still can't be trusted by the elder Dunleavy.

On July 8, the Clippers had their first game against the Celtics. The Celtics are still underdogs this year, and the former giants show no signs of rising.

Livingston is very good at breaking through, Liu Su got a lot of vacant positions, and beat the Celtics at the beginning, three-point, mid-range shooting must be hit, and the difference was pulled to 10 points in 3 minutes.

Then the Celtics made two substitutions that were good at defense to curb the Clippers' scoring trend. The two sides fought a positional battle, Livingston held the ball for ten seconds and did not find a chance to pass the ball to Liu Su, Liu Su began to organize, passing good balls one after another, assisting teammates to score.

In just one quarter, Liu Su scored 15 points and 6 assists, which made Dunleavy Sr. completely reassured him. In the first game, Liu Su only played 20 minutes, got 21 points and 9 assists, and his super high efficiency made him the best player in the game. Livingston had 22 points and seven assists, but he played 30 minutes.

On July 10, the Clippers played against the Suns, and the Suns without Nash and Xiaosi were not strong, and Liu Su, who would not, caused too much trouble. The Suns are a team that is strong in offense and weak in defense, and Liu Su likes to play such a team the most, because his stats will look very good. 24 minutes, 19 points and 11 assists double-double. However, he was robbed of the best player by Livingston, who scored 41 points.

The Suns couldn't let go of Livingston's assault at all, coupled with Liu Su attracting targets on the side, Livingston didn't break through too easily, and the Clippers won 89-74.

On July 12, the Clippers played against the Pistons, a defensive powerhouse, and Livingston was limited, but Liu Su broke out this time. played 30 minutes, returned to 26 points and 15 assists, and the Pistons' defense was fragmented, not only scored high, but also revitalized the whole team, and everyone who played with Liu Su scored.

On July 14, against the Kings, Livingston broke out again, Liu Su went off the court early, and Dunleavy Sr. began to hide Liu Su, hoping that he would become the killer of the regular season.

On July 16, against the Nuggets, Liu Su played more than ten minutes before resting, and small forward James Singleton played well, scoring 21 points to help the Clippers win.

In this way, the Clippers won all five games to complete the summer league. Liu Su left a deep impression on the old Dunleavy, who felt that the time had come for the Clippers to win the championship, and decided to train Liu Su and Livingston well, and then strengthen the lineup, and strive to win a championship within two or three years.

In August, the Clippers signed with the old cat Mobley, and Mobley joined the Clippers, making the Clippers' roster even stronger.
