Los Angeles, California. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Los Angeles, located in southwestern California, is the largest city in California (population and land area), and is often referred to as the "City of Angels". With a land area of 1,214.9 square kilometers and a population of about 3.9 million (2014), Los Angeles is the second most populous city in the United States, after New York.

The Clippers moved several times, first joining the NBA in 1970 as the Buffalo Warriors, and in the 1977-78 season, the Braves moved to San Diego, where they soon changed their name to the Clippers. Beginning in 1976-77, the Clippers failed to make the playoffs for 16 consecutive seasons. In 1981 the team changed hands, Sterling became the owner, moving the team to Los Angeles in 1984. But it has never been able to get rid of the identity of the fish belly team, and the best record is the division semifinals. However, it is a pity that after such a long time, the Los Angeles Clippers have never touched the floor of the NBA Western Conference finals.

Today, the leader of the Los Angeles Clippers is the former league's No. 1 point guard, Chris Paul. He was also one of Li Dong's favorite stars before he entered the NBA.

Pierce naturally also knows that the hottest rookie in the league today, and it is also his junior brother who led the team to visit, so he posted his welcome to his junior brother on Twitter early @李冬, and looked forward to putting on a wonderful game with his junior brother.

However, in Skids's tactical arrangement, it was not Li Dong who faced off with Pierce, but Fournier.

When night fell, a light rain suddenly fell in the sky, pouring down on the plain. Los Angeles under the rain curtain and the heavy water vapor on the Los Angeles River are intertwined, exuding a unique atmosphere.

The Staples Arena in Los Angeles was filled with fans watching the game, and the fans in the back row looked at the empty front row and moved their positions to find a better position.

In '11, the Clippers traded Al Farouk Aminu, Eric Gordon, Chris Carman and two 2015 second-round picks for Al Farouk Aminu, Eric Gordon, Chris Carman and two 2015 second-round picks, which turned the Clippers from a belly team into a league powerhouse, and also entered the playoffs that year, with a 4-3 first-round win to eliminate the Grizzlies who staged the Black Eight Miracle in 2011, but met the Spurs with four championships in the Western Conference semifinals, and was finally swept in straight games.

Last year, the Clippers once stabilized in the third place in the West, and the first round of the playoffs was against the defending champion San Antonio Spurs, and finally played 7 games and advanced to the next round 4-3, but in the Western Conference semifinals, the Clippers were forced to advance to the Western Conference Championship with a 3-1 lead, and were eliminated in the Western Conference semifinals for two consecutive seasons.

The players of both teams entered the arena almost simultaneously before the start of the game.

Li Dong looked curiously at the players in the opposite half, his eyes scanned over the bodies of those players one by one, and suddenly, his gaze was fixed, fixed on a tall and burly middle-aged man.

The young man seemed to feel Li Dong's gaze and slowly turned his head.

It was Paul Pearce, with a yellow headband on his head and a round face, who was haunted by rumors of a trade, but still had a high level of energy in his eyes.

Pierce smiled at Li Dong, who responded with a smile that the two best players in the history of the University of Kansas met at this moment......

……

"I didn't expect you to adapt to the NBA so quickly, did it feel too slow when you played in the NCAA?" Pierce and Li Dong walked to the middle circle and high-fived and embraced, although it was only the first time they met, they were like old friends who had not seen each other for many years, and there was no sense of estrangement.

Li Dong nodded, and should claim: "That's right, when I was in college, I always thought about speeding up, and I deeply pressed this idea." ”

Pierce smiled and asked, "What tactics are you playing now?" Run-and-gun or something else? ”

Li Dong shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "There have always been changes, let's focus on blocking and dismantling, the coach always thinks about some complex tactics, but unfortunately we are too stupid." ”

Pierce laughed twice and said: "Don't be modest, the tactical literacy of players in the NBA is generally very good, and no matter how complex the tactics are, there are not many of them allocated to one of the players." ”

"So, is the coach the hardest?"

"It's also quite hard to organize defenders, like our team's Chris Paul, who has memorized nearly a thousand tactics in his head, and can be called a master tactician, an encyclopedia." Pierce said.

"Even if you buy it, it's so powerful?" Li Dong blinked, a little surprised.

Pierce smiled: "So if you want to become an NBA superstar, you can't achieve it by simply improving your skills and tactics, the key is to look at the ball quotient and your ability to read the game." ”

Li Dong nodded like a peck, remembering everything Pierce said in his heart.

The picture of the two people standing in the center circle and exchanging was broadcast on TV to every fan who followed these two teams, especially the students of the University of Kansas, who couldn't help but sigh that time had flown by when they saw the conversation between the new and old Syracuse kings.

After a while, the Staples Lane fans gradually increased, and the referees also walked into the field.

At this point, the warm-up sessions of the players of both teams were almost done, and Skills once again emphasized his pre-match tactics.

At this time, the lights went dark, and then suddenly a row of spotlights was turned on.

Li Dong knew that this was going to be the entrance ceremony for the home players, and he had also experienced it when he was in Philadelphia, and that feeling was like a spiritual encouragement for the home players.

This game is also broadcast live on the imperial court station, and today, when high-definition broadcasting on the Internet has not yet become popular, watching the game through traditional TV is still the choice of most fans.

In the studio of the capital, Yang Jian and Yang Yi formed a double Yang combination, and they started today's commentary without a match.

Yang Jian said: "Coach Yang, we know that Li Dong has just won the award of the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month, and his performance in the NBA in his first month is very eye-catching, how do you describe this player?" ”

Yang Yi was obviously ready, and as soon as Yang Jian's voice fell, he talked eloquently: "That's right, Li Dong is indeed a very good player, his talent, his hard work is obvious to all, when he was in the NCAA, he has already shown the demeanor of a leader, just like Coach Scott Skiles said, only the sky is his limit." ”

Yang Jian jokingly said: "You know, after Li Dong won the Eastern Player of the Week award last month, his performance was sluggish for two consecutive games, and our American counterparts said that Li Dong was an award syndrome, so this time Li Dong won the Eastern Player of the Month, will he also discount his performance?" ”

Yang Yi secretly glanced at Yang Jian, thinking about what the problem was, but he still laughed a few times with a very cooperative "hehe" on his face, and then said: "Probably not, because the Clippers are not a team with very good outside defense, although they have Chris Paul, although they have Paul Pierce." The stats show that the Nuggets' outside defense limit opponents this season ranks only 14th in the league, which is only in the middle of the league. ”

"Hey, the game started right away, and the starters from both sides took to the field." Yang Jian saw the starters of the Nuggets and Magic on the court, and began to broadcast the players who started on both sides very professionally: "On the Magic side, the point guard is Payton, the scoring guard Li Dong, the small forward Harris, the big forward Fry, and the center Vucevic . And the Clippers have not changed, they are still their regular lineup, point guard Paul, scoring guard Redick, small forward Bamot, power forward Blake Griffin, and center Jordan Jr. ”

The camera of the imperial court station immediately switched to the scene, and at this time the referee had already walked to the center circle with the basketball in his hand.

The footage flashed, and the English abbreviations and real-time scores of the two teams appeared under the screen, and then a long shot zoomed in, giving Pierce a close-up, and then returned to the normal wide-angle picture.

Basketball throws, the game begins!

Little Jordan was like a flying yaksha, easily surpassing Vucevic who was facing him and spotted the basketball. When he landed, he snorted disdainfully at Vucevic: "Dead fat." ”

Vucevich's angry head is bruised, where is he fat? It's just a little round.

The ball passed through Griffin's hand to Paul, the 31-year-old who was a good man and skillfully commanded the Clippers after halftime.

Some say that Paul's strongest thing is not his passing, but his ability to integrate the team as a whole at all times and always show a big heart when it matters most.

The ball was distributed to Griffin on the flank, Griffin and Redick made a hand-to-hand pass and cover, Redick was able to lead Li Dong by half a body, and this trace of space allowed him to catch it, jumped up without hesitation, and threw the ball out.

"Bang!"

At the beginning of the game, his hand seemed to be a little stiff, and the shot was very positive, but the force was slightly less, and it smashed into the front of the hoop.

The basketball that rebounded back was fast, and Vucevic and Jordan Jr., who were entangled under the basket, subconsciously reached out almost at the same time, and the basketball was clicked by Vucevic and flew back.

A pair of large yellow hands pressed on top of the flying basketball......

Li Dong slashed out and accidentally picked up this rebound. (To be continued.) )
