Chapter 50: Losing streak

Although the team doctor gave a conservative estimate of about a week, Griffin felt that his body was still recovering a little faster than expected, but Dunleavy would rather have a worse team record than risk using Griffin's body. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

So on January 14, the Clippers went to New Orleans to challenge the Hornets, Griffin had to be absent, which is a pity, after winning and losing, Griffin's desire for a strong teammate is also increasing, what is more attractive than the league's No. 1 point guard.

Although there are no games played, Griffin is not idle, Orlamberto still supervises Griffin's shooting practice, and since 2010, Griffin's shooting performance in the game has improved, occasionally trying a few mid-range shots in positional battles, and his performance at the free throw line is also the same day a day.

The most important thing for Griffin is to improve the action and speed of the shot, slowly lifting, and the shooting point is not high, Orlamberto really can't stand Griffin's previous shooting habits, so he is particularly strict with Griffin in this regard, but fortunately, it has begun to work now, Sam can already see from the training video that Griffin's shooting posture is slowly changing.

In addition to training, Griffin also received another big-name contract in addition to Mars, the boss of the sporting goods industry, Nike's endorsement contract, in addition to the cumbersome contract details, the focus is that Nike gave a 7-year 4000W offer.

At first glance, it is still very good, 4000W is almost sky-high for the current Griffin, but in fact, this is not the case, first of all, in the numbers, aside from LeBron James's sky-high contract, Kevin Durant's contract with Nike in 07 is 7 years 6000W.

Griffin is also the champion of the 09th class, although Durant is now worth his life, and it seems that the contract is very valuable, but when you and Bangyan signed a 7-year 6000W, now you and I only sign 4000W? Don't say that interior players don't sell shoes, Griffin's style of play is definitely attracting fans, and as long as the sneaker style is trendy, there will definitely be no shortage of people to buy.

Another point is that in terms of contract years, 7 years is indeed too long, Nike sprinkles countless dollars every year around the world and signs contracts with sports talents in different fields, the basic strategy is to contract for a long time with low salary, which is also an investment in Nike, and it is naturally worth it to promote the company in the future, even if you don't play it, my investment is not very large, plus Nike's professionalism is undoubted, so it is basically a sure profit.

This situation is also unavoidable for Griffin, the sports bigwigs are like clouds, almost all of them are in the form of long-term contracts, and Griffin naturally can't break this situation, but the Griffin team is really a little dissatisfied with Nike's offer.

In fact, Nike is not the only choice, Adidas is also in contact with the Griffin team, especially in recent years, Nike has become more and more powerful, Adidas urgently needs outstanding players of the younger generation to compete with Nike, Griffin is the best choice, and it will definitely be higher than Nike in the offer, but Griffin personally does not like Adidas very much, Griffin does not attach much importance to the functionality of sneakers, he is a complete appearance association, and likes trendy and cool sneakers.

In addition to the two bigwigs, Griffin also knows that the American sports brand UnderArmour will also rise strongly in the near future, or the slightly older Reebok, Converse, etc. are Griffin's choices, as well as overseas, such as ****'s Li Ning and so on.

So after discussing with Sam, he decided to decline the offer for the time being, Griffin is not short of shoes to wear now, and the home color sneakers provided by the Clippers are also Nike's, and the style also makes Griffin more satisfied, and if you are tired of wearing it, you can also change the signature series of stars to wear, and it is not too urgent to sign sneakers.

After rejecting Nike's first offer, Griffin officially decided to buy a car while he didn't race, and now it's starting to be a little inconvenient to rub Sam's car all these months, and as Griffin's fame grows, Sam has to contact all kinds of characters more often, so a car is no longer enough.

Buying a car in the United States is not a hassle, and it can be done in a few days after the formalities are complete and the style is important, and athletes of Griffin's stature, sedans are generally not considered, and cool sports cars or domineering off-road are generally the first choice for football stars.

Griffin is very fond of Jeep's cars, Jeep's name is naturally thunderous, in the past has always been the configuration of military vehicles, as one of the first off-road vehicle brands to enter the Chinese market, Jeep was once a representative of off-road vehicles in the mouth of the Chinese.

To be honest, this car Griffin is used for transportation, and it can't be the last car, and it's cheap to buy a car in the United States, so I got it with Sam by dividing it by two, and contacted Jeep to order a Wrangler, which is less comfortable, but it is better than domineering, and it is suitable for a tough person like Griffin.

After these things were done, the team also returned from New Orleans, and as expected, 94-108 lost to the Hornets away, Byron Davis had 19 points and 6 assists, Jordan Jr. played 20 minutes, 7 points and 7 rebounds, and the Hornets Paul scored a big double-double of 15 points and 15 assists, and Okafor scored a game-high 21 points.

After returning to Los Angeles, the Clippers' next opponent is the Lakers again, and they just finished beating the Lakers not long ago, which has to be right again, this time the smell of gunpowder is obviously not so strong, too, almost all the inside lines of the Clippers are injured, and there are no gimmicks.

Griffin also wore a suit and leather shoes to cheer for the team on the spot, and the camera repeatedly gave Griffin, in addition to the old actors, there are also many Hollywood stars on the sidelines, but Griffin can't be named, but there are a few women who are still very beautiful.

Griffin didn't feel it when Griffin was there, and Griffin was really a little uncomfortable after a few days of separation, especially in Los Angeles, where the most important thing was temptation, and Griffin, who was young and strong, was really afraid of accidentally making a mistake.

Without Griffin and Carman, the Clippers returned to the pre-liberation period at once, even worse than before the liberation, playing in a disorganized manner, without tactical endpoints and that spirit, almost all of them were all over the court.

Davis and Gordon's backcourt combination of 28 shots and 10 of them combined to score 31 points, Kobe Bryant scored 30 points in 20 shots, plus the twin towers, the Clippers lost to the Lakers 86:126, Jordan Jr. scored 9 points, 9 rebounds and 4 blocks in 29 minutes, and the efficiency was still very high.

Dunleavy is a little painful now, he was surprised to find that little Jordan, who he is not very optimistic about, has grown up so fast, using his physical fitness to grab rebounds and defense, and he is doing a good job, except for a little worse foul control and less defensive experience, the others are not inferior to Camby.

After playing the Lakers, the next opponent of the Clippers is the current Eastern leader Cleveland Cavaliers, and it is a back-to-back, the little emperor LeBron James is now in full swing, this season's player of the week is soft, and the best of the month also won the first two months, all data are at the top of the league, plus the Cavaliers' record, if nothing else, LeBron James will win the honor of regular season MVP.

Speaking of LeBron and Griffin, they can be regarded as good netizens, even though the two have not officially met until now, but LeBron has interacted with Griffin on Twitter more than once as the top name of the league, and he also deliberately tweeted in support of Griffin last time, and the relationship between the two will not be much worse.

That's the way it is, Griffin, who was in a suit and leather shoes before the game, found LeBron James, just like last time with Wade, the two also get along very well, and unlike Wade, LeBron is much more funny, like a big kid off the court. However, it is also a pity that we can't compete on the field for the first time.

After the start of the game, Griffin was pleasantly surprised by the back-to-back Clippers who broke out at home, defending the inside and throwing the outside accurately, plus the Cavaliers looked a little loose, and the score was not loose at all.

The suspense of victory and defeat was maintained until the last minute, James broke through and then assisted Hickson to dunk, so that the game was killed, 102::101 narrowly defeated the Clippers away, the little emperor had 32 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds, but the turnovers were as high as 5 times, and the old sharks who returned to Staples played 21 minutes and scored 11 points.

The hero of the Clippers' bite so tightly was Rasu Butler, who scored a game-high 33 points on 12-of-18 shooting and 4-of-9 three-pointers from the field, Gordon scored 28 points on 11-of-16 shooting, and Smith on the bench also scored 16 points efficiently.

Griffin felt itchy when he watched such a game, his teammates felt so hot in this game, if he was there, maybe he could win this game and pull the emperor off the horse.

Before James left, he made an agreement with Griffin that he must compete on the court next time, LeBron is also very fond of this rising star, he sees a little bit of his own shadow from Blake, the same talent is amazing, and more importantly, the strong self-esteem in his eyes can't be concealed at all, such people are generally not willing to stand still, maybe the next time they see him, his progress is enough to surprise him.

The Clippers lost all three games due to injury and fell to 10th place in the West, but the Clippers also ushered in good news, Carman, who had inexplicable pain in his wrist, finally returned from the inactive roster and will return in the next home game against the Nets.

At the same time, the smell of the 2010 Danas All-Star Game is gradually spreading.

(Today's second update, or ask for recommendations and collections, it seems that the results of the new book are not too good, and I feel sorry for myself for a second~)
