(I didn't expect that!) I didn't expect it, but it's true, the opponent of the Clippers in Game 34 of the 12-13 season was the Lakers, and I was shocked when I saw it. ）

That's right! It's the Lakers!

How ironic is that?

The Clippers' 34th winning streak will be won against the Lakers, a team that has maintained a 33-game winning streak.

At this time, many people began to wonder, what kind of god is Stern? He's a little too godly, isn't he? This regular season schedule is really superb.

Could it be that Stern knew that the Clippers could win from the beginning of the season to the present?

No one knows for sure, but the dramatic matchup has garnered a lot of attention, with TV predictors predicting that the game could outperform the All-Star Weekend and NBA Finals tiebreakers.

Of course, to meet this game, the Clippers must first clean up the first two opponents, namely the Nuggets and the Warriors.

For the imposing Clippers, this is not a difficult task.

In the first game with the Nuggets, Wang Dacang scored less than 20 points for the first time this season, and only scored 18 points in the whole game, not because Wang Dacang felt bad, but because the Clippers scored double-doubles for the entire 9 players.

That's right! It was 9 people who scored double-doubles.

With a total of 131 points and 9 of the 12 players scoring more than 10 points, how can the Nuggets play against such a team?

In the second game against the Warriors, there were not many people who scored, but Wang Cannon scored 62 points.

This is the first time that Wang Cannon has scored 60+ points this season, and with this 60+ points, the Clippers easily defeated the Warriors again.

This is since. What people are looking forward to, the Clippers VS Lakers can finally be staged again.

However, the difference is that the Clippers have a 33-0 regular season record, while the Lakers have a 16-15 record, and the gap between the two is indeed a bit too big.

Of course, everyone knows. The focus of this game is not the fierce competition between the two teams, but the scene of the Clippers breaking the Lakers' 33-game winning streak in front of the Lakers, whether in the NBA or otherwise, grudges and feuds are always the most noticeable things.

Long before this game, Kobe Bryant had said that he would do his best to prevent the Clippers from breaking the Lakers' 33-game winning streak.

"What we can do now is try our best to stop the Clippers, and if we can't stop them from reaching 33 consecutive wins, then at least organize them to get 34 straight wins. Together, it's better to hold the league's longest winning streak than the Clippers' own, and it's a defense of our Lakers' longest winning streak. ”

Even the arrogant Kobe Bryant shook his head helplessly in the face of this situation, "To be honest, I'm disappointed that the Clippers were able to play such a perfect season." Our team, on the other hand, is constantly struggling with how not to lose if we can stick together like the Clippers players. Maybe it would be easier to win. ”

Kobe's remarks caused a lot of scolding from Clippers fans, and in the eyes of Clippers fans, Kobe Bryant is talking nonsense.

In a street interview in Los Angeles, something can be seen.

"With the current Lakers and Kobe, want to stop the Clippers? No kidding! No way! A fan who is clearly a Clippers said crisply: "The Clippers have a 33-0 record, and the Lakers have a 16-15 record. The gap between these two teams is so great that even if a person who doesn't understand basketball at all, if he shows him this number, he can judge who will win and who will lose! ”

"The Lakers' 33-game winning streak? Kobe Bryant's face is really big. "The words of another who is still a Clippers fan are even more ironic." People who don't know still think that the 33-game winning streak was played by Kobe, when did the 33-game winning streak played by Chamberlain with the Lakers become Kobe's honor? And to defend this honor. It's ridiculous. ”

Of course, some people spray and some people praise it, and many Lakers diehards say that the Lakers will definitely be able to withstand the pressure at such a critical time and successfully become the team that snipes the Clippers.

However, they are obviously a little lacking in confidence when they speak.

The game officially began on January 5, when Staples Arena was packed, with the Clippers' home court filled to full and nearly 20,000 fans waiting for a new league record.

"Welcome to this game, I'm your old friend Ross Barkley, and I'm sitting next to Smith and O'Neal."

Many fans who couldn't get tickets or couldn't afford expensive tickets had to watch live TV at home, and the most watched was none other than TNT's undisciplined commentary lineup.

The trio of Barkley, O'Neal and Smith was very popular this year, and the verbal battle between Barkley and O'Neill, as well as Smith's calm but extremely dark speech, were deeply loved by the audience.

"Mr. Shaq, is there anything you would like to say about watching this game? Mr. O'Neal, the former great center of the Lakers? Sure enough, as soon as Barkley came up, he began his own path of mockery.

"Okay, you also said that I was the great center of the Lakers." O'Neal snorted and said very calmly: "I have left a lot of great center marks, Magic, Lakers, Heat, even Suns, Cavaliers Celtics, I really can't remember clearly." ”

"Really? Hehe. In this regard, Barkley just smiled very calmly, and did not continue to dwell on this question, but simply changed the topic, "Tell me, is it more likely to win this game?" ”

"As a professional basketball commentator, from an objective point of view, the Clippers obviously have a big chance of winning." O'Neal said with a straight face: "But basketball needs to be considered in detail from all aspects after all, although the overall strength of the Clippers is stronger, but considering that the Lakers and Kobe, Howard and other superstars, and the Clippers have experienced 33 extremely high-intensity games, how much physical energy can be left is a big problem." So I think the two sides should be five or five open. ”

"Five-five?" Hearing this, Barkley shook his head a little disappreciatively. "I think it's ten open! The Lakers have no chance of winning! There are too many poor strengths. Smith, what do you think? ”

Smith thought for a moment and said, "Seven-three, Clippers seven-Lakers three." ”

"If you look at it, it seems that there are more people who still believe that the Clippers win." Barkley said shamelessly.

O'Neal glared at Barkley and said unhappily: "I think we should focus on the game that is about to start. It's not about the boring question of who wins and who loses. ”

"Okay, let's come and play."

At this time, the players have already started their warm-up on the field.

This game, Negro is quite serious, after all, it is about whether the Clippers can monopolize the league's longest winning streak, and it would be a shame to lose.

Today's starting lineup for the Clippers is as always, with point guard Paul, scoring guard Matthews, and small forward Wang Cannon. Big forward Griffin, middle Jordan Jr.

This squad has gone through nearly a season of running-in, and has become very mature and perfect, and the players have a very good tacit understanding on the field.

On the other hand, the Lakers' starting roster also looks slightly luxurious.

Point guard Nash, scoring guard Kobe Bryant, small forward Ci Shiping, and power forward Gasol. Center Howard.

In terms of player fame alone, the two teams are almost evenly matched. It's just that the two teams that are also superstar-studded are too different in the regular season.

When the players were warming up and preparing, Wang Dacang stood on the sidelines alone and watched the whole field.

"Hey, the game is about to start, what are you thinking?" Paul spotted the king cannon and ran over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Nothing. It's just a little emotional, and before you know it, the home court of the Clippers is already home in the whole sense. Wang Cannon glanced at the audience and said.

Listening to Wang Cannon's words, Paul's eyes began to shift to the field. Then he couldn't help laughing, "yes, think about it, when I first arrived at the Clippers, the game between the Clippers and the Lakers, basically a large part of the fans on the court belonged to the Lakers, not the Clippers." Now it's really different. ”

Due to the particularity of today's game, when the fans entered the game again, they all got a baseball cap made by the Clippers officially.

It must be a white hat with the word 34 printed on it, and it is meant to cheer on the Clippers' players to win 34 in a row.

Such white hats can be seen everywhere on the court, like a sea of white, and only a few fans in a few places do not wear such hats, and it is estimated that they are die-hard fans of the Lakers.

At Staples Arena, the Clippers' home-court advantage is becoming more and more apparent.

Of course, this is not to say that the Clippers have surpassed the Lakers, the Lakers' excellent history over the years has made them have a very large number of fans, and the Clippers' short history is simply incomparable.

But just because there are many fans doesn't mean that everyone will come to the scene to support, especially when they think that the Lakers will lose this game, how many people will be willing to run to the arena to see their favorite team lose miserably?

This is also an important reason why the Lakers and Clippers have fewer and fewer Lakers fans in the game this year, because since Wang Cannon Paul joined the Clippers, the Lakers have never won the game between the two teams!

Even if it's a die-hard fan, you won't run to see the team's loss by yourself, right? And the more fans who have a deep love for the team, the more they can't stand the team's defeat after failure.

The Lakers' players obviously noticed this problem, so Kobe Bryant's face was very ugly from the beginning.

Clenching his fists, Kobe Bryant thought to himself, "Wait, I won't let you break the record so happily." ”

Soon, the game began.

As two Western teams, or teams in the same city, the Clippers and Lakers can be said to be extremely familiar with each other, although the Lakers have changed a little dramatically this season, but overall, there is still no difference.

It's still Kobe.

It is enough to understand this.

No matter how many Lakers lineup changes, as long as the team encounters a critical moment, then Kobe Bryant will always be singled.

In the past, the Clippers would also let Wang Cannon limit Kobe, but now the Clippers basically don't do this, because it is also an offense, Wang Cannon's offense is obviously much more threatening and efficient than Kobe, so the Clippers are not afraid of Kobe's solo fight at all.

As for the rest of the Lakers, except for Howard, who was the focus of, the other players are fine, including Nash Gasol, this season's performance can be described as extremely bleak, even if it is an ordinary single defense, it can be easily defended.

It's the same in this game, at the beginning, after the Lakers got the ball, they tried to organize the offense a few times, and the organizer was naturally the Lakers' point guard Nash, but the result of the organization was relatively average.

One of them was directly snatched by Wang Cannon.

Seeing this situation, the Lakers had no choice but to start Kobe Bryant's single mode again.

This is already the most accustomed thing for the Lakers this season.

Although the head coach of the Lakers has been replaced by D'Antoni, the master of running and shooting, in terms of tactics, and Mike . Brown's Lakers are no different.

In addition to adding two useless run-and-bomb tactics, whenever the Lakers' offense is deadlocked, it is still Kobe Bryant's single routine.

Kobe Bryant's singles are indeed useful, especially today, perhaps for special reasons, Kobe's hand is quite hot, and he can hit all the first few attacks, and the shooting rate is very high.

But even so, the Clippers still didn't make any changes, because while Kobe was attacking, the Clippers were also attacking, and the Clippers' offense was only more fierce than Kobe.

Not to mention others, Wang Cannon alone is enough to wrestle with Kobe.

The current Wang Cannon is recognized as unsolvable on the offensive end, with an average of 30+ points per game and a shooting rate of more than 70 percent.

In the NBA's statistics, Wang Dacang has never had a shooting rate of less than 50% this season, and the average number of shots per game is more than 10 times, such an efficient and terrifying offense has surpassed Kobe, and even Kobe Bryant's peak period cannot be compared.

There is such a big killer as Wang Cannon, and he is still afraid of Kobe's single-handedness?

Kobe Bryant threw a mid-range shot, Wang Cannon was about to score a three-pointer, Kobe Bryant broke through to score a layup, and Wang Cannon turned around and dunked one to show his bull fork.

The first quarter of the game between the Clippers and the Lakers was basically an offensive show between Wang Cannon and Kobe, but these two guys had fun, and the players who defended them were miserable.

Matthews and Ci Shiping are about to cry, don't take you to bully people like this. (To be continued......)
