Chapter 54: The Battle of the Brave Ships!

By the time the Clippers returned to Los Angeles, it was already February 7th, sitting on the home court advantage to face the Spurs, and the same ending as before, the Clippers held on for 3 quarters and surrendered, the Spurs scored 7 double-doubles, the Clippers Gordon scored a high 24 points, Griffin 17 points and 10 rebounds. The Clippers welcomed www.biquge.info the challenge of the Jazz team at home the next day, and the Jazz, who did not want to lose to the Clippers, played extremely seriously and finally won by a large score.

There is less than a week to go in the 2010 NBA All-Star Game on the stage, at this time the All-Star lineup is basically determined, if there is not much change in the future, LeBron James should win the honor of this year's vote king, but there are also regrets, NBA superstar Allen Iverson missed the All-Star Game due to his daughter's illness, and Rocket All-Star center Yao Ming was also absent due to injury, Lakers star Kobe Bryant also said in a recent interview that he has a significant fracture of his index finger and is very likely to withdraw from the All-Star Game.

At this moment, Blake Griffin is discussing a big matter with his agent.

"Blake, you and I know very well that this is a very, very valuable thing, and it is also your honor, and you must participate!"

"Hey Sam, calm down, this is nothing more than an All-Star, fun is the most important thing, you also saw my votes, I should be able to participate in the All-Star Game, it's a great honor for a rookie, isn't it."

"Oh my God! It's a slam dunk contest Blake! You're the most vocal player in the United States! This is a green ticket delivered to the door, who do you think you are? Do you think you're LeBron James?! ”

No wonder Sam is so excited, the slam dunk contest, as one of the most watched all-star events, will bring huge fame and income to the participating players, so Sam thinks Griffin should not refuse this matter anyway.

But Griffin also has his own ideas, the most important thing is that Griffin doesn't think he is qualified to participate in the slam dunk contest, his physical talent is too good, and he is very good at dunking in actual combat, but it is also in actual combat, such a performance like the dunk contest needs to be creative, Griffin really can't do it, he doesn't want fans to say that his slam dunk contest is one of the most watery in a few years, Griffin doesn't want to be one of the parties.

Fame is important, but Sam doesn't know if he really can't, and he thinks he's humble! What's more, according to the current situation, Griffin's vote is slightly higher than that of Zach Randolph, plus Yao Ming retired from injury this year, it is not surprising that Griffin will appear in the All-Star Game 100%, plus the rookie challenge, these exposures are 100% enough for Griffin, so Griffin resolutely declined the invitation to the slam dunk contest.

Before the All-Star officially comes, the Clippers still have one more away game to play, that is, the San Francisco Warriors, the Warriors recently injured the core of the team Alice, but this has made the team's rookie Stephen Curry emerge, the team's record has not fallen but improved, and Curry has also performed well.

For the attack of the Clippers, the media in the Bay Area has been fully prepared, and various pre-game renderings and gimmicks, especially the confrontation between Griffin and Curry, have been rendered by the media as if they are competing for the throne of the rookie king of the 09th class.

Griffin is playing here for the second or third time this season, and is immune to the boos of the Bay Area, and the Warriors recently signed free agent Tolivier to fill the void on the inside, but the team has been hit by injuries recently, and there are only eight players on the active roster for this game.

However, after the opening, the Clippers were stunned, and a wave of 18:2 climax directly made a dream start, especially Curry and Morrow's play was terrifying, the two teamed up to contribute 13 of the 18 points, listening to the deafening cheers of the Oracle Arena, the fire in Griffin's heart was also faintly hooked.

Although professional players don't care about the gimmicks imposed by the outside media, it still has some impact, do you say that Griffin doesn't care about this rookie confrontation at all, that's impossible, plus now that Curry has started strongly, the small universe in Griffin's heart has also been ignited.

The signs of Griffin, who is playing with all his strength, are about the following three points, the first is to increase the rate of face frame attacks, the second is to increase the number of rebounds, and the third is to be more aggressive on the court, and now these three points Griffin is almost all satisfied, and Griffin won 4 frontcourt rebounds in just 3 minutes, 2 of which were directly scored twice.

This made the Warriors coach angry on the sidelines, as a team that played extremely fast offensive and defensive conversions, the second rebound was controlled, it was a nightmare, the only good news is that the Warriors are still shooting at a high percentage, maintaining a 13-point lead, and the Clippers' outside line is not open, and they can't win the ball with their interior play alone.

In the second quarter, Thorton seemed to hear Griffin's call, and scored 8 points alone in the rotation stage, which directly forced the Warriors coach to change the main lineup in advance, and it was 7 minutes in the second quarter, and Curry was in control of the ball.

The immature Stephen Curry has actually shown his edge in college, but his face is green but he still can't stop the confident edge, steadily dribbling the ball to the three-point line, calling a pick-and-roll, Turyaf a high-quality cover, and Curry's front of the pick-and-roll is about 2 steps away from Curry.

"Pills!" Griffin, who had seen Curry's countless balls in his previous life, immediately felt an ominous omen in his heart, and sure enough, the familiar formula and familiar taste, the ultra-long-distance three-point shot calmly! Camby turned straight back to get the rebound.

"Huh!" Accompanied by the earth-shattering cheers of the Oracle Arena! "This kid is lucky." Camby obviously didn't expect the seriousness of the matter, and in the next 4 offenses, Curry hit 3 three-pointers, and the excited Curry celebrated directly on the court!

"I'm relying on this 2010, is Curry also popular?" Dunleavy directly paused, and finally recovered the point difference, and was directly taken away by a wave, how can this short man be so powerful, not only can he shoot accurately, but the key is that he is really confident.

Griffin should be the person who understands Curry's routines more on the court at this moment, and anti-blocking and pick-and-roll has always been Griffin's strong point, and strong mobility gives Griffin a strong ability to switch defenses, and small and big fights are almost non-existent here in Griffin.

The effect is obvious, Curry is dumb, Griffin doesn't jump, and he stretches out his arm to interfere with the situation as soon as he changes defense, fortunately, Curry at this time is not as perverted as in later generations, no matter who you shoot directly, and the ball is not very fast, the Clippers' defensive rotation can still keep up.

The Clippers' pick-and-roll and Griffin-centered breakaway shots are the Warriors' biggest headaches, and with the occasional frame, the Warriors' interior group now has a total of 8 fouls, 6 of which are on Griffin, and the threat is obvious.

The Clippers and Warriors had a 62:71 halftime high at halftime, and the increased offensive tempo led to more rebounds, so Griffin had a double-double at halftime.

After the start of the second half, the Warriors' shooting rate began to decline, and the inaccuracy of the open three-point gave the Clippers an opportunity, Gordon hit a three-point shot and then assisted Griffin to dunk Toleg to make it 2+1, and the difference was only 6 points.

After Stephen Curry came on the court, Curry obviously adjusted, no longer thinking about scoring directly, but began to organize the team's offense with his own scoring threat, at this time Morrow, Watson and even Hunter began to show threat, and the Warriors' shooting ability seemed to be blessed with a buff tonight, which was scary.

Griffin watched the difference reach more than 10 points, and the somewhat anxious Griffin began to frequently settle down and ask for singles, the face frame was still very harmful, and the free throw shooting improved, and the Warriors did not dare to easily send Griffin to the free throw line.

However, because of his impatience, Griffin ate two offensive fouls, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Biedrins fouled Griffin and left the court, and Biedrins's departure made Carman explode briefly, but the Warriors held their feet steadily, and the point difference has been hovering around 10 points.

In this round, after Curry borrowed and dismantled, Griffin immediately switched to the front of Curry, Curry dribbled back two steps to signal the ball single, and the fans immediately stood up and began to cheer, they expected Curry to beat Griffin to the ground!

Griffin didn't give Curry any space, for a dribbling master like Curry, he was basically unable to defend after letting him dribble the ball, so Griffin added physical confrontation at the beginning, even if Curry passed himself behind him, there was a supplement.

However, at this time, Curry's confrontation was still a little thin, and the explosiveness was not enough to shake off Griffin, the physical confrontation between the two became more and more intense, Griffin pressed again, Curry stumbled slightly, and Griffin saw the opportunity to start immediately!

The strong body knocked Curry to the floor, but the referee didn't say anything, and Griffin simply dunked the ball in amid Oracle's booing.

Curry also looked a little angry, it is indeed not a very glorious thing for a small man to be singled out by a big man, so after receiving the serve, Curry resolutely signaled to his teammates that he wanted to play alone, and in the face of Rasubataler, who defended him, Curry refused to block and dismantle.

A flexible left-handed crossover to a right-handed crossover, Butler immediately adjusted his center of gravity to block Curry's next move, but after the change, Curry immediately dribbled behind and changed the ball back! Butler was a little shaken at this moment, but he still reacted quickly and adjusted, and then Curry was about to shoot! Butler immediately jumped high!

"Oops!" ,“666! This is estimated to be the psychological activity of the vast majority of people present, Curry shook Butler after a simple worship, Butler directly tricked Butler, and he did not choose to make a foul, but a light sideways, chic three-point shot!

"You're so handsome." Even the opponent, Griffin had to praise the ball, smart full score! The shouts of the crowd also proved that the ball was no less exciting than Griffin's various dunks.

In the next game, Morrow made another effort, even if Griffin scored 8 points at the last moment, it didn't help, the team lost 103-132 away to the explosive Warriors, Curry scored 36 points on 11-of-22 shooting, including 7-of-11 three-pointers, in addition to a quasi-triple-double of 13 assists and 8 rebounds, Morrow scored 29 points, and 6 people scored double-doubles.

The Clippers Griffin scored a career-high 44 points and 22 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 2 steals. The only regret is that the team lost the game, and this rookie battle set many records in one fell swoop, compared to many NBA celebrities, and also detonated the NBA before the All-Star break!

(Moved Griffin's top score against Xiao Si here, but Curry's data is real, and the author also wants to show the two major forces in the future in advance~ Of course, these two are not the only ones who dominate Ha.) In addition, the author saw the book review area, and some people said that it was too unreal to be fascinated by wild models, this is not an ordinary wild model, it is a very beautiful wild model! As the former ** silk that has just crossed, it is natural that I am fascinated by Caitlyn and don't want it, and if you don't like it, you still ask for a collection and a recommendation~)
