The arrival of Matthews has indeed made the Clippers a lot stronger, which is particularly prominent in the team's defense.

The Clippers' five starting positions have not had any major problems with their defenses other than the shooting guard position.

Paul and Griffin are the kind of players who are very good defensively, and Wang Cannon and Jordan Jr.'s good play is even more defensive. Williams, or Randy. Foye, neither of them can take on the defensive responsibilities well.

But after Matthews arrived, the situation was different, Matthews was not only good defensively, but also very smart defensively, and like Battier, he was a player who used his brain to defend, which is exactly what the Clippers needed.

It is for this reason that Matthews took on the role of starting point guard in the team's first official regular season game.

Foye did not have the slightest objection to Negro's choice. Williams is different, although he has been a substitute for a period of time before, but Foye knows very well that he has no capital to compete with the team, and if he wants to get more opportunities in the team, then it is very important to follow the arrangement of the head coach.

In fact, this is indeed the case, Foye's very obedient attitude makes Nigro feel very satisfied, plus Foye's own offensive ability is very good, Oh, Nigro has also increased his playing time on the bench.

Getting back to business, Matthews, who started as a point guard, lost in the Clippers' first game. The Clippers' five-game winning streak came to an end, but no one said anything about the Clippers in this loss, because the Clippers were still honoring despite the defeat.

The opponent of the Clippers in this game is none other than last season's NBA champion, the Heat, who have the Big Three.

Although this season's Heat does not have the BUG-like character of Wang Cannon, it has become more and more proficient with the cooperation of the Big Three. In addition, the Heat brought in some good bench players to replace Wang Cannon, so the Heat are not much weaker than last season, on the contrary, even stronger.

Wang Cannon played against his old club Heat, and there was no old love in it, but despite this, James still cut down 28 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists under Wang Cannon's marking. Although this is the first time this season that James' shooting percentage has not exceeded 50 percent, it does show how strong James, the league's top superstar, is.

Correspondingly, under James' defense, Wang Cannon's appearance is not inferior at all, Wang Dacang used 32 points and 19 rebounds to sue the Heat, how important a good rebounder is.

Throughout the game, the Clippers' players kept bombarding the Heat's interior line, Wang Cannon, Griffin. Jordan Jr.'s three league rebounding maniacs almost regarded the Heat's interior as a back garden, but with their excellent play on the outside, the Heat still barely won the game in overtime.

After the game, for Wang Cannon's expression, James and others all gave the highest evaluation.

"I really didn't expect Wang to improve so quickly, I remember last season in the playoffs. He's just a guy who just stands there waiting for his teammates to pass the ball and shoot a three-pointer, but now. In less than half a year, he has already learned how to score more effectively, watching him run back and forth on the field looking for open opportunities, I can't believe that this is Wang Cannon! James smiled and said, "My Chinese friends can finally play with their brains." ”

"Seriously, I'm starting to hate the king cannon." Bosh said bluntly to reporters. But then he added: "The main reason is that without him, I have so many things to do on the team's interior, to do interior defense, and to grab rebounds." And to protect the opponent's interior from grabbing rebounds, my God, this kind of thing is too difficult for me! Why did he leave me? ”

The relationship between the Big Three and Wang Cannon has always been quite good, even in the media, they can joke so easily.

Like the Big Three, Wang Cannon also looked very relaxed when he was interviewed by the media after the game. "The Heat are still the favourites to win the championship, and today's game fully proved that, with 28 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists under my defense, which fully proves that James has become the best player in the league right now."

"So, do you think James has completely replaced Kobe Bryant as the league's number one superstar?" Reporters don't want to be so sloppy, there will always be provocateurs who will come out and make trouble.

But this time Wang Cannon was not fooled, "This is what you said, not what I said, I didn't say that James replaced Kobe." ”

When the reporters heard this, they were all a little disappointed, even Wang Dacang would be official?

Just when they were disappointed, Wang Cannon actually spoke again, "It's just that no matter how strong a player is, the curtain will always slowly fall with the times, whether it is James, Kobe, or even the former Jordan, in the end, they can only watch themselves be surpassed by others, and this world is reserved for young people." ”

I rub! It deserves to be the king cannon! Sure enough, Niu Fork, it turns out that the fierce news is here?

The reporters immediately became excited, and the pen and paper in their hands began to rattle.

"Wang Cannon said! Jordan, Kobe Bryant, these people are just outdated old guys, and there is no comparison with young people like them at all. ”

．

Well, Wang Dacang doesn't care what reporters will write at all, and he doesn't care what others will think, he has no heart or lungs, he does his own thing, this is Wang Dacang's favorite.

However, the speaker has no intention, and the listener has a heart, especially after Kobe Bryant heard Wang Cannon's words, he immediately sneered.

"Is the world for young people? Boy, I think it's better to let you know that ginger is still old and spicy! ”

The current Kobe, what he hates the most is that people say he is old! It's past its prime.

Kobe Bryant doesn't feel old at all, he is only 33 years old, he is still very early, he still has a lot of energy, and he can still play in the NBA for a long time.

I know my state very well, but there are always some people who will question my state, although I can still average 27 or 28 points per game, there are always people who say that Kobe is old, and the league is no longer the era of Kobe's rule.

This kind of rhetoric became especially much more when the Lakers lost to the Mavericks and left the playoffs early last season.

This made Kobe very unhappy, and Wang Cannon's remarks made Kobe feel even more unhappy after the media added fuel and vinegar.

In the face of unhappiness, Kobe Bryant didn't say anything, he didn't scold at home, nor did he go outside to say anything to the media, he just felt a lot of energy in his heart.

Didn't you say I'm old? Well, I'll let you know who's the king of the NBA!

After the game between the Clippers and the Heat, it was followed by the game against the Lakers, and unlike the preseason, this time it was a real regular season, and it was the Lakers' home game.

Although both are centered on Staples, the home court of the Lakers and the home court of the Clippers are two completely different concepts, not only in terms of the change in the floor of the court, but also in the attendance of fans and the way they cheer.

Not to mention anything else, the Lakers' games will always have quite a few public figures and celebrities come to watch, such as movie star Jessica. Alba, singer Justin. Bieber, Governor Arnold and soccer star David Beckham, among others.

The Lakers' home court has never lacked stars, and the Clippers' home court seems to be a bit of a disbelief in the murmur, especially in the city derby, and the Clippers don't even have as many fans on home as they cheer the Lakers on the road.

Although this kind of thing has changed after the two superstars Wang Cannon and Paul joined the Clippers, the big situation has not changed in the slightest.

Compared with the Lakers, the Clippers will always be like the ugly duckling next to the white swan, unnoticed and unappreciated.

If you want to completely change this long-standing noomind, I'm afraid the Clippers will have to work hard for a long time to do it. (To be continued......)
