Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Road Trip
Everyone was drunk at Griffin's house that night, and the apartment was big enough to be fun, but the consequence was that the three of them slept until noon the next day, and then slipped into the group with Dunleavy's gloomy expression that was about to drip. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Oh Blake, have you learned badly, look at your dark circles, this must be the old driver's reserve." A gloating Davis lowered his voice and taunted Griffin.
Griffin is actually not a big problem, after all, the body is perverted, and when he fights the Raptors at night, he is still a dragon and a tiger, just let Banjani defend Griffin, he can be killed, so when he fights the Raptors, Griffin is caught in the bag.
But even so, Griffin still scored 26 points and 15 rebounds of luxury interior data, and Bosh came to a data explosion, Bosh 28+8 data is also very, very good, but the Clippers still lost the game at home, Gordon and Davis made a total of 29 shots and a total of 6, the performance can be called a nightmare.
By the way, the substitute was also a small blow on the other side, and the loss was understandable, and the defense of the whole court was not much confrontation, except for Griffin's five violent dunks, there was almost nothing to watch.
On November 15th, the Clippers team will fly to Oklahoma to challenge the Thunder away, and the last time they were defeated by the Thunder at home, the Clippers are still relatively unconvinced, so the physical confrontation of the game is more high-grade.
And because Griffin spent his youth at the University of Oklahoma, there were plenty of cheers coming from the dark blue when Griffin played well.
The suspense of this game lasted until the end before the winner was decided, and the Clippers got revenge on the road, and Durant scored 40 points. The Clippers had a strong performance, scoring a team-high 29 points, Griffin had 16 points and 13 rebounds, and Gordon had 19 points.
In addition to Durant's 40 points and Wei Shao's 17 points, the firepower of others is very average, especially Harden was lost in this game, shooting 0 of 8, I don't know what kind of criticism he will face.
The day after tomorrow, the Clippers will go to New Orleans to face the Hornets again, which can be regarded as Griffin's first consecutive road trip since entering the NBA, but fortunately, it is not back-to-back, and the team rushed from Oklahoma to New Orleans leisurely.
New Orleans (New Orleans, LA), a southern city in the United States, bordering the Gulf of Mexico, is an important port city in Louisiana, famous for jazz music and French colonial culture, New Orleans is the largest city in Louisiana, USA, and the second largest port city in the United States after New York.
In general, it is a relatively high-grade city, with some beautiful European-style buildings and some well-dressed pedestrians everywhere on the street, and the modern hot Los Angeles is completely different styles.
By the way, it is worth mentioning that the Hornets' core guard Chris Paul was suspended due to injury not long ago, and the team's general manager Jeff Ball personally came on as the general manager, but it has been an embarrassing two-game losing streak.
It would be a mistake to think that the Hornets would be vulnerable without Paul, and even without Paul, the Hornets have shown a good team spirit.
With the Clippers trailing by as many as 23 points at halftime, the Hornets set off a scoring frenzy in the third quarter, a wave of 20-3 super attack wave directly brought the two teams back to the same running line, and even if Griffin stubbornly resisted and scored 13 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter, he could not let the victory return to his arms.
The best performer for the Clippers was Thorton, who scored 30 points, but most of them came in the first half, with Griffin 19 and 14 to continue his double-double. Hornets David West 24 plus 6, Brown and Stojakovic scored 16 and 15 points, and another Brown and another Thorton on the bench contributed 12 points each, which can be said to be an all-round flower.
Paul and Davis exchanged pleasantries after the game, Griffin always felt that the two of them were talking about themselves, and Paul had invited Davis to visit the port of New Orleans, but tomorrow the Clippers will fly to Memphis to play the Grizzlies.
When he arrived in Memphis, even Griffin, who was so physical, felt a little tired, and the Clippers were probably unlucky against the Grizzlies without a good rest.
It is also true, except for Griffin and Gordon, almost all of them are sleepwalking, the Grizzlies show a good team system and play very methodically, but the young point guard Conley is rare calm and keeps the rhythm very good.
Therefore, the focus has become the inside line, Griffin's style of play is to kill inside, and too much physical contact also makes the opponent's inside players angry.
At the end of the third quarter, Griffin grabbed an offensive rebound and was pulled to the ground by rookie forwards Carroll and Tabitt, who were also drafted this year, causing a large-scale conflict, and Davis vented his anger at the loss on the court and argued with the opposing player.
After the conflict, the Clippers failed to recover, and finally lost to the Grizzlies without suspense, the Grizzlies scored more evenly, everyone scored, the Clippers Griffin 21 points and 13 rebounds, Gordon 27 points, Carman 16 points, and the rest did not contribute much firepower.
Interestingly, after the game, a sports media published a separate picture of Carol and Thabit teaming up to pull down Griffin, and posted an article questioning: "The champion Griffin has not played many NBA games, but he has encountered a lot of evil criminals, will this cause adverse effects." ”
However, this article did not do justice to Griffin Bo, and many celebrities spoke out in person.
"This kind of defense was normal defense in our time."
"Griffin's style of play is destined for him to suffer these kinds of fouls frequently."
"It's the tough defense that an interior player should have."
This time, even Barkley, a Finnish fan, did not speak up for Griffin, instead pointing out that it was due to Griffin's aggressive attack, and no player wanted to be your background and be put on the top 10 for a week.
But this has nothing to do with Griffin, who has now learned not to pay too much attention to these social comments, and if he really wants to be carefully entangled, Griffin will have to be angry and not have to hit the ball.
The Clippers' road trip came to an end after this game, and after a day off tomorrow, they will face the Nuggets at home the day after tomorrow.
When you're out for a while, you'll miss your kennel a lot, and that's a true portrayal of the Clippers players now, without any stops, the Clippers will step on the plane home.
As soon as he got off the plane, Griffin saw that his girlfriend Jaulatin had come to pick him up in person, and there was no training tomorrow, so Dunleavy turned a blind eye and let Griffin reunite with his girlfriend.
"Wow, Blake, it looks like you won't be able to play the day after tomorrow!"
"Stay safe, Blake! I still have it in my car if you need it! ”
A group of beasts were naturally unwilling to be lonely and teased Griffin, but the pungent Jiaolatin turned around and raised a long, straight middle finger at many teammates, causing a strange scream.
"Hey baby, I've decided, I'm just going to make you unplayable for the next two days!"
"Uh, are you sure you can't get out of bed like before?"
