Chapter 178: Three wins in a row
The next day, the Clippers will travel to Seattle to play the SuperSonics, who are rebuilding, so don't count on the record. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info looked at their lineup so that Liu Su was not interested in playing, and the whole team could make Liu Su interested in Durant alone.
Speaking of Durant, I also have to say that the other rookies of this year's class have to be mentioned, and the first thing to say is Oden, who is known as the Great. Oden underwent knee surgery in September and was reimbursed for the season. Therefore, Durant has become the de facto champion, and the supersonic has picked up a bargain, although it is only this year, but the supersonic still picked up a bargain.
Tanhua Xiu is Al Horford, Horford is also doing well, although he is not well-known, but his strength is really strong. In the Hawks, he is basically the starting center, averaging about ten points per game, and he can grab about eight rebounds.
Horford's lack of popularity is because the Hawks' presence is really low, and they are not the league's favorites at all. If he changes teams, such as the Lakers, Clippers, Celtics, and even well-known teams like the Knicks, they are more famous than they are now.
Horford did not become the core of the team, so his reputation is a little weaker than Durant. However, Horford is still a rookie who is talked about by many media, but fans must have turned around and forgotten.
No. 4 pick McConley, drafted by the Grizzlies. Conley also performed well, and basically sat in the starting position, scoring about 9 points per game and delivering about 4 assists.
No. 5 pick Jeff Green, also with the SuperSonics, was selected by the SuperSonics using the Celtics' draft pick, which was traded to the SuperSonics when they traded Ray Allen last season.
Green also has good quality and can also play as a starter in the SuperSonics, but his position is not very fixed at the moment. Green is able to play two positions, power forward and small forward. However, the small forward has been occupied by Durant with a lot of playing time, and he may be able to go all out for the power forward position.
No. 6 Xiu Yi Jianlian and No. 7 Xiu Noah don't need to talk about it. The remaining rookies are better than No. 12 pick Saiddeus Young, No. 14 pick Elssoton, No. 15 pick Rodney Starkey, No. 31 pick Carl Landry, undrafted player Jamario Moon, and two older rookie Scola who participated in the draft in '02 and signed this year with the Rockets and Juan of the Grizzlies.
Other than that, the others haven't shown much potential yet. Of course, there are people who have played for a few years before they come to the fore, but there are very few such players.
From the point of view of now, this year's draft is basically these players.
After winning the SuperSonics, the Clippers rushed to Sacramento to play the Kings. The Kings also made some adjustments to their lineup, and after trading to Ricky Davis, the Kings were also pitted by Ricky Davis, and with Mike Bibby's thumb injury, the Kings had a surprisingly poor record.
Kings start Mickey Moore, Brad Miller, Ricky Davis, Kevin Martin, Udri. Artest didn't need to attack much after he arrived with the Clippers, scoring a lot less, and now averaging just over 10 points per game, which is half of what he did when he was with the Kings.
However, Artest is still willing to play for the Clippers, he needs honors, he needs a championship ring. As an old man who has been in the NBA for many years, it is not a complete NBA journey without a championship ring of his own.
What's more, Artest's reputation is not very good, and fights often occur. The most famous fight in the Palace of Auburn Hills, there is one of them.
Whether it's for a championship or fame, he's willing to play for the Clippers. Liu Su's character and ball quality make him admire very much, he is very friendly off the court, rarely loses his temper, and loves to joke. When he is on the field, he is also friendly, never makes small movements, doesn't even talk trash talk, and can be called a gentleman.
The players of the Clippers also like to learn from Liu Su, and in addition to the confrontation they should have, they are very good at using small actions when defending. The Clippers are basically the cleanest team in the league now, and even David Stern often has the official media praise the Clippers, saying that the Clippers have set a good example for the NBA.
In fact, this is a series of sequelae of the Clippers' strong lineup, and Artest has been suppressing the desire to attack. Because he knew that the Clippers were centered on Liu Su, he couldn't grab Liu Su's position, and there was really little cooperation between the second and third positions, so there were a lot fewer offensive opportunities.
The Kings, who lost Mike Bibby and had Ricky Davis to mess with him, were no match for the Clippers. In this game, Liu Su deliberately asked Artest to show off his offensive level, so that he could show off at his old club, and in the end Artest scored 24 points, which was the highest score since the Clippers.
After the victory over the Kings, the Clippers returned home to face the Heat. After the Heat traded O'Neal, they didn't trade any heavyweight players, they originally wanted to trade Marion, but it didn't work out, and finally traded a bunch of role players and two years of first-round picks to smooth out the difference.
The Heat will leave Wade to pick the lead himself, and the rest will only be used by Haslem at the apex. The veteran Mourning is no longer good, it would be nice to be able to play, Payton retired, and Capono and Posey are gone.
Looking at this posture, the Heat are going to rebuild, maybe they want to sign a good rookie next year, and they are going to sign for the champion.
Liu Su and Wade are in the opposite position, Wade doesn't have much spirit to play, and he doesn't seem to want to win at all. But just look at the lineup, it's not that Wade doesn't want to play hard, it's that he can't play at all. Not to mention the Clippers' starting lineup, even the bench lineup is stronger than the Heat's starting lineup.
With an easy win over the Heat, the Clippers are ready to deal with back-to-backs on the road. This season, the Clippers have had a total of 18 back-to-backs, with several back-to-backs being back-to-back. Such a schedule is not good for the Clippers, but the Clippers' roster this season is too strong, and no matter how unfavorable the schedule is, there is no problem.
When he rested the next day, Liu Su received a bit of bad news, that is, the Lakers were negotiating a trade with the Grizzlies and wanted to get Gasol.
If this deal is done, then the Lakers will be on the rise this season and will be a strong contender for the championship.
This season, the Celtics formed a big three to win the championship, and the Magic also formed a luxury lineup, Howard + Heeder + Lewis, these three can score about 60 points per game, and each of them averages nearly 20 points per game.
Coupled with the original strong teams, Spurs, Mavericks, Pistons, and Cavaliers, this year's playoffs are going to be lively! From the second round onwards, the competition will be fierce.
Thinking of this, Liu Su will feel very excited, only a fierce competition can completely stimulate the blood in his body and let him play better.
Athletes are people who strive to surpass themselves, and without such a character, they can't become good athletes at all. Liu Su also often told himself that he must surpass himself, score 104 points, score 50 assists, establish a dynasty and even win all the championships, only in this way can his blood not be cold.
