As the saying goes, enemies are very red when they meet, and this sentence is used to describe the current Clippers and Lakers.

The situation between the two teams is a little discordant now, not only because the Clippers threaten the status of the Lakers, but also because of the grudge between Wang Cannon and the Lakers, including Kobe. The main reason for the discord is the current record of the two teams.

The Clippers are 11-5, which is only fifth in the entire West, and above the Clippers, there are four teams: the Spurs, Thunder, Nuggets and Lakers.

Among them, the Lakers have a record of 12 wins and 4 losses, which is only slightly better than the Clippers, and now that the two teams have met like this, the situation has become delicate.

If the Clippers win against the Lakers, then the record of the two teams will become a draw, and at the same time, because of the difference between the Clippers and the Lakers, the Clippers can squeeze out the Lakers to become fourth in the West.

And if the Lakers win this game, they can reopen the gap with the Clippers.

It can be said that this game is about the records of both teams.

So especially at home, no one on the Clippers wants to lose this game.

It's just that sometimes the ideal is always full, but the reality is extremely cruel.

The Clippers, who were intent on winning this game, never expected that Paul, the core player of their team, would go down injured in the first quarter.

That's right, no one thought of it.

Including the King Cannon.

When Wang Cannon watched Paul fall to the ground with a painful face, and then walked off the field with the help of the team doctor, he was dumbfounded.

"Holy! What's going on? ”

It's clear to everyone how important Paul is to the Clippers, including Wang.

Although on the surface, Wang Cannon, who is extremely aggressive, and Griffin, who is quite domineering in dunking, are much more dazzling than Paul. But everyone knows that Paul is the real core of the Clippers team now, and without Paul, the entire Clippers' offense will be finished.

Sure enough, within minutes of Paul's dismissal, the Clippers' offense collapsed across the board.

There is no Paul's tandem. Any player on the Clippers will have to try to attack with the ball on the court, but this type of offense obviously doesn't work well under the Lakers' defense.

Including the king cannon, the scoring efficiency in this case is very low.

This is also something that cannot be helped, although Wang Cannon's offense looks fierce, but after all, he can only shoot an outside three-pointer and an inside shot, and there are too few offensive means. Once without Paul's help, Wang Cannon can get a few points by relying on the explosion in a short time, but after a long time, he will be blinded in both eyes.

Griffin's situation is similar to that of King Cannon. So there is no particularly good performance on the field.

This battle, which Clippers fans attach great importance to, was lost inexplicably because of Paul's early injury.

At 99:87, the Clippers were in a situation of being pressed and beaten by the Lakers throughout the game, and they never had the slightest intention of raising their heads.

Now the Lakers fans are happy.

Slogans such as "shame before the snow" are also constantly on their lips.

The Lakers, who won this game, continued to sit in fourth place in the West, while also pulling the Clippers behind them a little further.

"At the end of the day, the Clippers couldn't prove their quality, and they just relied on a few superstars, especially Paul. Without Paul, they immediately lost their minions. Turned into a pet with no offensive power, how can such a team be called a strong team? ”

Wang Cannon didn't know who said this, but his nose was almost crooked after he heard it.

This is simply distorting the facts and arguing with strong words.

Faced with this situation, how could Wang Cannon be willing to be silent?

Soon, he made statements and opinions about himself in response to this.

"That's right. Without Paul, we didn't feel comfortable on the pitch, but personally, I'm happy with the final result of that game, even though we lost. But we lost 99-87, and the 12-point margin was more than I could bear. Wang Dacang said, shrugging his shoulders, "If we lose by more than 20 points, I think I'll go crazy, you know." ”

Wang Cannon's words are obvious, we lost, but we didn't lose by 35 points, and we only lost by 12 points without Paul, and there is no comparison with the Lakers.

Wang's remarks drew support from many Clippers fans. "That's right, we didn't have Paul to lose to you by 12 points, what about you? In the case of all the staff being healthy, they can lose 35 points! It is conceivable that if you Kobe Bryant is injured, I am afraid that it is possible to lose 40 points and 50 points, right? ”

Even if the team loses, it still has to continue to operate.

Soon, Paul's injury report came out.

Although it is not a particularly big injury, it still requires a week of recuperation.

A week, that's not a long time, but it's a bit heavy for the Clippers right now.

The Clippers, who lost to the Lakers, ended their six-game winning streak and changed their record to 11-6, which is not bad, but the Clippers' schedule is not as comfortable as before.

The day after the Lakers, the Clippers will usher in a wave of back-to-back trips, playing the Grizzlies on the 27th, the Nuggets on the 29th, and then the Thunder on the 31st.

Three away games, none of which are easy to mess with, although the Grizzlies have a record below the Clippers, they are only below the Clippers, and they are still the kind that they want to catch up with very much, and the Thunder and Nuggets are teams with much better records than the Clippers.

These three teams are really three tough battles, but the worst thing is that the Clippers don't have Paul in these three games, how can they play?

Even if it was Wang Cannon, a feeling of powerlessness rose in his heart.

It's not good, this is a triple kneeling!

"It's not good," Griffin muttered to himself after hearing Paul's injury report.

"Alright guys, don't hang your head." Seeing this, Negro clapped his hands, attracted the attention of the players, and said: "Paul is just going to recuperate for a week. It's not that I won't come back! There's no need for it, and besides, without Paul, we wouldn't all have lost! As long as you can formulate the corresponding tactics, even if you win all the next three games, it will not be a problem."

"Not a big problem"

"Not big"

Negro held his head in his hands and watched the game helplessly. There is nothing more to say.

Wang grabbed the ball with both hands and stared at the defender Tony Allen standing in front of him, who looked nervous. Wang Dacang feigned a feint to break through, and the latter immediately took a step back.

When Tony. After Aaron retreated, he was stunned to find that Wang Cannon did not break through, but retracted his foot and pulled out three points on the spot.

"King Cannon! Three-point hit! The commentator's voice sounded, but the entire Grizzlies home fans didn't say anything special. Aaron was indifferent to being tricked by the king's cannon.

Why is there an indication? Do you need any representation?

No matter who it is. Seeing the score of both teams now, there will be nothing to say, because there is no need at all.

101:73, no, plus the three points that Wang Cannon just scored, it should be 101:76.

After the end of the third quarter of the game, the Clippers had no hope of winning, and Wang Cannon and others were still on the court. It's just to get some face, and it's just a little bit of brushing points by the way.

Negro did think that the team would be greatly affected without Paul. But he really didn't expect that the Clippers without Paul would have such a big impact! This was completely unexpected by him, the head coach of the team.

In the game against the Grizzlies, the Clippers didn't have a single player who could score a double-double except for Wang Cannon and Griffin.

Whether it's Matthews, Jordan Jr., or Bledsoe, who started off Paul, and Foye, who has the most offensive firepower on the bench. Under the defense of the Grizzlies, all of them have become invisible.

Even Griffin had a very poor performance in this game, with 18 points and 10 rebounds, which was already the best Griffin could do.

The Clippers scored 76 points. Wang Cannon scored 31 points alone, while Griffin scored 18 points, these two people combined to score 59 points, and everyone else combined to score 27 points, what is this concept?

And Wang Cannon's 31 points are also a bit big, because his shooting rate is only about 35 percent, and it can be said that it took a lot of shots to get 31 points.

The Grizzlies' defensive system is very well placed, and the Kings are played by Tony. Aaron and Mark. Gasol was guarded by two people, and these two people blocked all the offensive routes of Wang Artillery, one mile and one away.

Tony. Allen defends the three points of the king cannon on the outside, and once the king cannon chooses to break through with the ball, then let the inside Mark . Gasol topped out to defend the king cannon.

Even if Mark. Gasol can't defend against the king cannon, at least he can effectively contain the hit rate of the king cannon.

With the exception of these two, the rest of the players were all one-on-one.

Gay was on the defensive guard against Matthews, who was at the shooting guard, and Conley defended Bledsoe, who started in Paul's place. As for the other player of the Clippers, center Jordan Jr., he usually lets Gasol mark a little, once Wang Cannon breaks into the interior line, Gasol will decisively give up Jordan Jr. and run to defend Wang Cannon, anyway, no one in the Clippers can pass the ball to Jordan Jr.

This kind of defense is really effective for the current Clippers, at least in this case, the Clippers have no way to deal with it.

Negro was also completely helpless in the face of this situation.

Without Paul, the Clippers' tactics in many aspects could not be effectively executed, and although Bledsoe was good, he was far from Paul after all.

And just like that, the Clippers came up with their second losing streak in Memphis.

The point is that after two consecutive defeats, the Clippers' opponent is the Nuggets!

Although the Nuggets now do not have Anthony, because the team's overall offensive ability is extremely strong, and the three-point shooting rate ranks first in the league, the combat effectiveness is even much stronger than when Anthony was there before.

Needless to say, the entire league is not optimistic about the current situation of the Clippers.

Without Paul, the Clippers' offense is a scattered game, the offensive firepower of the cannons cannot be effectively displayed, and the basket impact ability of Griffin and Jordan Jr. is also difficult to show, and Paul will need two more games before he can come back. The next two games of the Clippers are very hanging! ”

It is worth mentioning that after winning this game, the Grizzlies' record has also improved to 11-7, if the Grizzlies can win the next game, and the Clippers continue to lose. Then the Clippers' fifth place in the West will be handed over like this. ”

As soon as the game was over, Paul, who was sitting on the sidelines in a suit, came up to comfort his teammates.

"Guys, you've done a really good job! Believe me! As long as we keep trying! You won't continue to lose! Paul's encouragement was not heeded at all.

The Clippers have begun to suffer their first major crisis since forming a new roster!

Without Paul, the core of the team, the crisis!

The game with the Grizzlies made Wang Cannon feel very aggrieved, although his score was very high, but the game was really wretched.

It's not just because there is no Paul.

As the number of games deepened, NBA teams became more and more aware of Wang's offensive mode.

Originally, Wang Cannon's offense was not particularly complicated, and he only had two kinds of offense, shooting under the basket and three-point shooting outside the three-point line.

In addition, the king cannon basically has no other offensive capabilities.

Even if he learned Hamilton's movement and kept running back and forth on the court, he didn't end up outside the three-point line. It's back to the basket, and nothing else has changed.

These two offensive skills alone are completely impossible to mix in the NBA.

At first, the opponent didn't know much about Wang Cannon, but when more and more teams began to carefully study Wang Cannon's video and study the technical characteristics of Wang Cannon, it was not so easy for Wang Dacang to score like the original again.

It's like this game with the Grizzlies.

Although Wang Cannon's almost invincible body is still able to score 30+ points, it is much worse in terms of offensive efficiency.

And so it goes. Even if Wang can be elected as the scoring champion this season, the team's record will not be much better.

Wang Cannon is clear. It's time for me to strengthen my personal attributes a little more.

During this period of competition, Wang Cannon also accumulated a certain amount of bonus points, which was enough for Wang Cannon to enhance some attributes.

In the past few years, even James has begun to practice back singles hard this season, and has learned all kinds of offensive methods, not to mention the plug-in Wang Cannon?

However, it was a little surprising to Wang Cannon. When he returned to the locker room, he was given a mission.

"Stop the losing streak?" Looking at this task, Wang Cannon scratched his head.

"In the next two games, you have to win one game to stop the Clippers' losing streak. If you do, you will be awarded 20 Achievement Points. ”

"It's only 20 o'clock?" Hearing the reward of this task, Wang Cannon immediately complained, "It's too little, I urgently need achievement points now, otherwise you will increase the price for me, 50, right?" ”

"50 is not impossible."

Originally, Wang Cannon was just idle and bored to play with the system, but who knew that the system suddenly popped up such a sentence.

"This is an ordinary daily task, not particularly difficult, if you wish, then I can make an exception to modify the difficulty of the task, if you can complete this task, I will directly give you a reward of 100 achievement points, how about it?"

"Holy! Welfare? Wang Dacang's eyes immediately widened with excitement, "System, you are really good!" I find out I'm in love with you! ”

"Don't worry about love first, you can see what the modified mission objective is talking about." The system was not in a hurry, and said happily.

I don't know why, Wang Cannon always felt that there was always a sense of schadenfreude in the system's words.

The puzzled Wang Cannon rechecked this task, it was okay not to look at it, and after a look, Wang Cannon suddenly gasped.

"Domineering two wins in a row?"

"The goal is to win the next two games, in which you need to get the following numbers: 50+ points, 20+ rebounds, 5+ steals and blocks. At the same time, you must not miss less than 40 percent of your shots and no more than 5 turnovers on the court. ”

"Holy!" Wang Cannon was dumbfounded, "Brother System, are you playing with me?" Two games 50+20+5+5? Why don't you let me die? ”

"What? Is it hard? "So far, there are seven people in the entire NBA who have scored 50+ in two consecutive games, and the closest to you are Iverson, Jordan and Jamison. ”

"But did they grab 20+ rebounds while playing 50+ in two consecutive games?" Wang Cannon is about to run out, this is not a welfare at all, this is obviously trying to play to death!

"Absolutely! Isn't Chamberlain? ”

Wang Cannon: ""

"I say! Isn't it a little unfair that you compare me to Chamberlain?!!! Can I compare to Chamberlain? Wang Cannon took a deep breath, calmed down the extremely excited mood in his heart, and then said to the system.

"That's right!" The system suddenly realized! "It's true that you two are not comparable."

Wang Cannon breathed a sigh of relief, the system finally made a little sense.

But at this moment, he heard the system say to himself: "You open the hanging, Chamberlain doesn't open the hanging, he is much worse than you, this task seems to have to increase the difficulty a little bit, 100 achievement points can't be given to you so lightly." ”

Wang Cannon: "" (To be continued......
