The result of the derby after two months is still the same, the Clippers lost to the Lakers, but as the first time, no one criticized the Clippers, but a large number of people began to really face up to the Clippers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The best in this game was naturally Kobe Bryant, who scored 33 points, not to mention, and gave a wonderful quasi-kill in the final moments of the game, followed by Bynum's double-double of 15 points and 11 rebounds; For the Clippers, Byron Davis scored a team-high 27 points, followed by Griffin with 25 points and 14 rebounds, Gordon with 21 points, Carman with 16 points and Rasubatler with four three-pointers.
It can be said that the Clippers played their best form in recent times, and they also played very hard in the game, judging from the interview questions of reporters after the game and the applause of the audience for the Clippers, the Clippers really deserved to be defeated.
The results of the game aside, the most heated discussion after the game was naturally the clash between the Lakers and the Clippers in the game, because Artest's improper actions caused a conflict between the players on both sides, so fans and reporters after the game focused more attention on this clash.
After the game, the reporter also interviewed the person in question, Ron Artest, "It's not a big deal, you guys are making too much of a fuss, this kind of foul has been one in almost every game in my career, and I'm sure Blake doesn't mind." ”
Odom also spoke to his teammates, "I don't think Ron did anything wrong, Griffin has always been big and aggressive, I mean, it's easy for a professional player to clash with him. ”
Odom's words are not unreasonable, Griffin has been in the NBA for just a few months, and he has had 6 major or small conflicts with other players on the court, because Griffin's offensive actions and physical confrontation to grab rebounds are the causes of the conflict.
So Griffin suddenly found that there were suddenly a lot of discordant voices on his social software.
"Boy, hurry up and learn the technology! Don't just bump into each other with your rude body! ”
"Seriously, Blake, you're more like a beast that wants to hurt people on the field!"
"Hurry up and restrain yourself, do you want to be the public enemy of the whole alliance!"
The words of some fans are naturally alarmist, and the truth is the opposite, Blake Griffin not only did not become a public enemy of the league, but there are many journalists, experts and players who support Blake Griffin, Sports Illustrated basketball columnist Landocco posted an article in support of Griffin in the star stand, the following is part of the content.
"Before I officially state my opinion, I think I need to make something clear, after the Clippers lost to the Lakers, Blake Griffin has scored a double-double in 34 consecutive games, surpassing Kevin Garnett's 32 games, and only 10 games away from Moses Malone's 44 games in a single season, and he is second in the league in rebounding, first in the league in offensive rebounding, and is criticized for his back-to-back offense, and his efficiency is also sixth in the league, and you don't forget that he is only 20 years old, which is really remarkable for a rookie. And now someone actually says that he should be aggressive, I really can't accept this logic. ”
This long article was published by Sports Illustrated for the first time and was seen by more people, and at the same time, Barkley, a die-hard Griffin fan, also expressed his support for Griffin in a telephone interview, "This kid is very similar to me, shouldn't he be aggressive when he plays, is he on the court for performance, Blake is not good except for fighting, everything else is very good!" ”
In addition to the Clippers' teammates, the Raptors' DeRozan and the Warriors' Stephen Curry both texted Griffin, and James personally tweeted @Griffin with the text "Keep your true self" on Twitter, which made Griffin very encouraged, which is important to him, after all, his heart is not strong enough to fight the world alone.
The incident ended with the voice of Lakers star Kobe Bryant, "Blake Griffin plays hard and has a lot of potential, I like him very much, and the Clippers have changed this year, and I enjoy competing with them." The boss spoke, and the others naturally kept silent.
At this moment, Griffin is wearing a cap and sunglasses to see off his girlfriend at the airport, and Gerratin is about to go to Europe to study, which also means that the two will not be able to see each other for a long time, which makes Griffin very insecure, and it is no less difficult for the NBA arena to control his lower body than a final exam.
"Blake, you are less here, I can see your happiness through my sunglasses, hum, I told you not to mess around, I have already told Sam to take care of you, otherwise I will definitely clean up the two of you when I come back!"
"Also, you idiot, don't read those comments on the Internet anymore, you don't care about these things and keep reading them, you just need to play well, you know, don't hold it alone when you're stressed, you must call me, remember to miss me!"
Even if the two are reluctant, the separation is coming, although Jiaolatin is usually very delicate, and the princess is a little sick, but the gentleness revealed occasionally is enough to make Griffin look sideways.
After bidding farewell to Giulatine, Griffin had to rush back to training, this was a vacation that Griffin and Orlamberto had been asking for a long time, Orlamberto has been very close to Griffin's training recently, and training a talented person who has made rapid progress is a very enjoyable thing for the mentor.
At the same time, Orlamberto is also very pleased, because Griffin is now very humble, he is hungry to learn everything that is beneficial to him, and the long and boring shooting training has not made Griffin hold back, which also strengthens Orlamberto's determination to train Griffin seriously.
The Clippers are now struggling on the playoff line, the good news is that there is still a long time, and the bad news is that the Clippers are indeed not enough tactical system and hard power, and it is easy to meet opponents that make the Clippers hurt, such as the next opponent, the Miami Heat.
This made Griffin happy and sad, happy that Dwyane Wade was one of his favorite stars in his previous life, and sad that he had just been killed by Kobe Bryant, and was about to usher in the Flash, the most painful thing was nothing more than this.
Because the goal of the Clippers this year has changed, and getting into the playoffs is now a goal for all Clippers personnel, some tactics must be improved, and discipline and tactical execution on the court must also be strengthened, and they can't be played as casually as before.
This is both a good thing and a bad thing for Griffin, the team's tactical strengthening is bound to make Griffin play a lot less, Griffin will have a lot less opportunities to practice on the court, but it is also a good thing to feel the atmosphere of the winning team in advance than to brush up on the data in the bad team.
Dunleavy has communicated with Griffin in training, before Dunleavy deliberately gave Griffin a lot of singles opportunities to practice his skills, and now Griffin may have to adapt more to the needs of the team, Griffin must be supportive, and he also likes the feeling of winning.
Other players need to improve for the time being, Dunleavy's request for Griffin is to reduce the opportunity to play alone with the ball, and use the breakthrough or blocking of other players to directly attack the basket selection, and the rebounding ball naturally does not need to be said.
This arrangement was also based on Griffin's characteristics, and Dunleavy and the coaching staff decided to maximize Griffin's off-ball threat, because Griffin bounces fast, jumps vertically high, and has amazing leg power to dunk from a long distance, so when other players break through to win him a step, to put it mildly, Griffin can destroy almost every interior in the league.
The day before the Miami Heat arrived, the Clippers worked out on the new tactics, and the good news is that the players are adapting to it, and some players are even happy, so that they will get the most out of their characteristics.
Looking at the crowd sweating on the court, Dunleavy's heart was filled with excitement, "Will this clipper become brilliant in my hands?" ”
