Chapter 52: All-Star On

At the end of the road trip, the Clippers will return to Los Angeles to host the Grizzlies, Bulls and Rockets. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The Grizzlies are also a playoff team, and the star of the house, Pau Gasol, is very strong and one of the best power forwards in the league. And Gasol is very suitable as a tactical core, equivalent to a Pippen-like figure, and is a good second-in-command.

The elder Dunleavy also wants to trade him, if he exchanges it for Brand, it is not bad to fill in two additions, Singleton is a good addition, the strength is there, but he can only play in garbage time so that he has no room to play, and it is not bad to trade.

The current Grizzlies can only rely on Gasol to play, and such a team cannot defeat the current Clippers. The Clippers are now in all positions and are the most serious contenders for a championship as long as they don't get injured.

Liu Su is also very interested in Gasol, he played against Gasol during the Olympics and knows Gasol's ability. And Gasol and Yao Ming have similar personalities, not a competitive person, he exchanged phone numbers with Gasol before the game and made an appointment to have dinner together in the summer.

Why is it about the summer, it is because Liu Su is going to represent the country in the Stankovic Cup. The Stankovic Cup is not a big event, so Liu Su did not participate last year, and this year's Si Cup is a warm-up for next year's World Championships, and it is also the last international competition before the World Championships, and Liu Su must participate.

The pre-match friendship will be thrown away when it comes to the field, and neither Gasol nor Liu Su will show mercy. Gasol is very versatile, scoring points, rebounds and assists. And Liu Su was naturally not to be outdone, and let the Grizzlies know what an all-star level sixth man is in the second quarter.

After trailing by 15 points in the second quarter, the Clippers came up with their strongest lineup in the third quarter to widen the margin by 23 points. In the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies held on for six minutes, and the difference still did not narrow, so they could only replace the main force and surrender.

With the win over the Grizzlies, the Clippers had a day off and faced the Bulls again. This year's Bulls are a youth army, and the core of the team such as Hinrich, Ben Gordon, and Lore Deng are all rookies in recent years. Rookies have the benefit of rookies, they are full of impact and knock down a lot of strong teams.

In the face of the youth army, it is naturally another way of playing, with veterans playing less and using more young players. The Clippers also have a lot of young players, Liu Su, David Lee, Ryan Gomez, Singleton, Hayes are all rookies this year, Kaman is the 03 rookie, Brand, Mobley, Margety, Rademanovic are in their playing years, Brera Xia, Kassel are older, so it is a little less.

The strength of the Clippers doesn't need to be emphasized again, everyone in the Bulls knows that the Clippers are very strong right now. At present, there are only three teams in the league that have lost 10 games or less, and one of them is the Clippers.

Against the youth army, the Clippers' starting lineup played very sophisticated, and they knew that they were not as good as the Bulls physically, so they dragged the pace of the game very slowly. Kassel's experience played an important role, as he spent more than ten seconds on each attack and the rest of the time to play a success rate.

Hinrich's experience was still much worse, and he was slowed down by Kassel. And the Bulls players have become a little impatient, especially trying to use their young advantage to play the Clippers' veterans, but they are busy making mistakes and not shooting very high.

They trailed by 6 points in the first quarter, which doesn't seem like a lot, but compared to the two teams, it was a lot of points. The two teams scored 24-18 in the first quarter, and the combined scores of both teams may not have scored as much as the Clippers first team scored when Liu Soda bombarded him.

By the second quarter, the Bulls had basically adapted to the slow pace, but the Clippers were up and down five. As soon as Liu Su came on the court, he began to bombard, but the Bulls did not react, and the difference widened to 10 after a minute, and he was on a double.

In the third quarter, Kassel did not play, Liu Su guided the team's fastest lineup, played a classic bombardment tactic, slashed 56 points in a single quarter, and pulled the score to 30 points at once.

The fourth quarter turned into garbage time, and the Clippers won the game 143-122, with Liu Su scoring 25 points and 17 assists.

On February 14, Valentine's Day, Liu Su spent it by himself. Scarlett hadn't been to him for a long time, and although Liu Su also texted him, she didn't call, she only knew that she was busy.

On the 15th, the Clippers faced the Rockets, and Brand was suspended for this game because he flashed to his waist during the holiday with his girlfriend yesterday and needed a few days to recover.

The Clippers lack a big general, but the Rockets are neatly staffed. Maddie's injury healed, and Yao Ming didn't have anything wrong, so the Clippers suffered.

Maddie has been in a bad mood lately, and according to Yao Ming, it seems that someone in his family has died. Now his state is not to explode in silence, but to die in silence.

Apparently Maddie had a burst today because Margeti knocked him out during the matchup. Liu Su covered his face and couldn't bear to look at it directly, Maddie didn't act excessively, but there was definitely anger, and there was murder in his eyes.

Then Liu Su saw that Maddie became an all-round warrior in the court, with long shots, breakthroughs, layups, assists, dunks, rebounds, and all the data that he could grab, whether it was the opponent's or his teammates', Yao Ming was robbed of a rebound by him, and then rushed into the Clippers inside to dunk and score.

Old Dunleavy also looked at Maddie a little stupidly, and then saw Liu Su's appearance, and couldn't help asking, "Do you know what's wrong with him?"

"It is said that someone in the family has died." Liu Su had no choice but to say.

Old Dunleavy thought for a moment and said, "What kind of luck is this today?" Don't blame old Dunleavy for being angry, first Brand was absent, and then Maddie broke out, is there anything more unlucky than this?

There really is, as if God gave old Dunleavy an answer, Yao Ming went down to rest in the second quarter, and only came up in the third quarter. At this time, Maddie had already passed the explosive period, and his physical strength was a little unable to keep up, so he was replaced by the coach. Then Yao Ming broke out, he was robbed of the rebound by his teammates on the head and had no way to attack, and now he is vented to the basket, jump shots, dunks, and scored five attacks in a row, and the score was pulled away at once. He also switched to Wall on the defensive end, sending four big hats in one quarter to beat the Clippers.

The Clippers were affected, their shooting became cringe, their shooting percentage dropped, and if it weren't for Mobley's sudden frenzy, they would have surrendered in the third quarter. Today, Liu Su's hand feeling is not very good, and the hit rate is just average, far from the usual level.

The Rockets took away a win at the Clippers' home court, with Maddy having 35 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, and Yao Ming having 34 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 6 blocks to play the statistics of a super center. The duo scored 69 points, and the other Rockets players also had three double-doubles, bringing their total to 136 points, the highest for the Rockets this season.

The next day, the Clippers played the Warriors away, and their form still did not recover, scoring only 81 points. The Warriors scored 88 points and won a hard-fought game from the Clippers.

On the 17th, the All-Star Game officially began.
