Chapter Twenty-Four: Starting Small Forward
Chen Lei played a new high of 23.2 minutes in this game, and at the same time cut 17 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks, scoring second only to Griffin in the team, and was once again highly praised by Clippers fans and unanimously recognized by Clippers executives.
In this game, the upgrade point was 2 points, and without hesitation, he threw it on the mid-shot, and the mid-shot advanced again to 87 points.
After a day's rest against the Suns on the 11th, the Clippers at home won another victory, this team that gave countless strong teams a headache completely died at the hands of Griffin today, Griffin shot 16 of 18 and scored 37 points, completely rubbing the Suns' interior line, how could the Clippers not win.
Chen Lei's table in this game was decent, he contributed 11 points off the bench, and the shooting rate was still accurate, but Chen Lei, who had rarely made mistakes before, made 5 mistakes in one go, so that those who had been preparing to black Chen Lei for a long time finally found a handle.
"A newcomer is a newcomer, it's so unreliable!"
"Five mistakes is to give the opponent five offensive opportunities, this rookie is really generous."
"In just 19 minutes of play, he delivered 5 turnovers and only 3 rebounds, is this the main number of outputs?"
âŚâŚ All kinds of comments are floating all over the sky and Chen Lei has started a black meal, especially the relatives of the players who have been excluded because of Chen Lei's joining, and Chen Lei doesn't care about these things, in his opinion, this will only increase the attention of fans to him.
"Chen, some people on the Internet are scolding you, and many of them are trumpets, but the avatar is quite sexy, and this chest is half a watermelon." Collison rubbed his chin as he looked at the computer.
"You know, it's all trumpets." Chen Lei spread his hands and pulled the web page watched by Collison to the bottom, "At least these sunspots are less than five percent of the fans, and there are many people who like me, I play for the people I like, it's as simple as that." â
I took an apple from the refrigerator and wiped it and took a hard bite, I hit my ball, what did I do to you?
Looks like I need to shut you up with a game, and you have to be careful in the rest of the game so that you don't have such a big handle again.
On March 13th, this game is a tough game for the Clippers, and today you will face the same Western Conference powerhouse, and one of the strong contenders for the championship, the Golden State-Warriors.
This game is also a test for Chen Lei, because his opponent has not been a strong team since he entered the team, except for the previous Rockets.
And Chen Lei's playing opportunities in the game with the Rockets are limited, and this game is a real opportunity to test him in the eyes of many people, and the major media and teams are also curious about how Chen Lei will behave in the face of the Warriors, and whether he will maintain such efficiency.
Of course, Rivers thinks so, and he needs a strong opponent to test Chen Lei's real strength for him.
With Crawford and Redick unavailable, the Clippers are missing a proper No. 2 player, and according to the other coaches on the coaching staff, they are looking for a shooting guard from outside the roster, but Rivers' idea is to try to keep the lineup unchanged and solve the problem.
"Chen, starting small forward!" After a few games, Chen Lei's position as a small forward not only guarantees to hit two three-pointers per game, but also has a not weak breakthrough killing ability, Rivers wants him to try it in the starting position this game.
However, the reaction of the Clippers generals was different, Barnes was obviously a little darker, while Davis and Collison were overjoyed, and most of the others were curious, and some were watching the show.
Rivers' tactical arrangement is not much different from the past, the opening game is still Griffin taking the lead in looking for offensive opportunities, and Chen Lei's job is to run to pull out the open space, or take the initiative to create a zĂ o breakthrough kill in the offense, and ensure rebounding.
"Brother, congratulations!" Collison patted Chen Lei on the shoulder and sent his blessings.
"Yes, I didn't expect my prediction to come true, you can really rely on the position of small forward to get the starter, haha, brother, you are amazing!" Davis gave Chen Lei a thumbs up, because his voice was too loud, Barnes gave a cold sound and rolled his eyes, Davis pulled Chen Lei's arm and whispered, "But brother, don't be too ostentatious, see that tattooed man, depending on the situation, he doesn't look at you very well." â
Tattooed men? It was Barnes who followed Collisson's gaze, unhappy? That's definitely as it should be, because in Rivers' eyes, if he can start as a small forward, he threatens his position, and anyone else will be angry.
But who can control this kind of thing? Let's take one step at a time, anyway, if people want to be on the team, they will always offend people, if they can really start, it doesn't hurt to collect more of his personal eyes, and he won't lose a piece of meat.
"Dudu Dudu......" The referee blew the whistle and signaled the starters of both sides to enter, and when Chen Lei got up and walked into the court, the surprise came.
Long-lost quest hints and rewards come to mind.
"Mission activated! Start Five Tigers: Gain 3 upgrade points! â
"Mission activated! Quest content: Suppress star small forward Iguodala, quest reward: Crit +1. â
"Critical Hit...... Plus one? Chen Lei felt like he had fallen into a honey pot, but he quickly returned to reality from the joy of the crit, and his eyes swept to see the sturdy figure.
Iguodala! Kill him? What about the special cabbage? How could it be so easy?
People have been selected as All-Stars, and they have been selected for the American Dream Team, and they have also helped the team win gold medals in the Olympics, the most fucking depressing thing is that this is still a defensive fierce and the fucking offense is not soft, how to play?
"Suppression? Is it on the number or on what efficiency? Chen Lei was still a little confused, but he finally found some comfort when he thought of the 3 upgrade points he had just gotten.
In the last game, he scored 11 points against the Sun, and the upgrade point was added to the mid-range shot, and the score became 88, this time he got 3 points and took out two points and continued to put them on the mid-range shot to make it 90 points, and the remaining 1 point Chen Lei added to the agility.
The agility column is still 70, plus 1 point to 71 does not change much, this speed is not enough to play small forward, and Chen Lei decided to suspend his growth when he reached 90 points, but to raise agility first, because only in this way can he hope to do it as a starting small forward.
"Am I right? The starting lineup given by the Clippers actually put Chen Lei in the position of starting small forward? Zhao Ke, the host of the live broadcast hall of the domestic sports channel, rubbed his eyes, and after making sure that he was not dazzled, "This kid didn't expect to be recognized by Rivers so quickly, it's really good." â
"In the previous games, Chen Lei's shooting rate was above 80%, and it was easy to gain trust. But I feel that the Clippers need to strengthen their outside attack because they can't play at the same level, after all, Barnes and Blake alone can't stand up to the Clippers' outside fireteam. Guest Su Yi also showed a happy smile, "I don't understand why Rivers didn't put Green in the squad at this time, this guy's strength is still okay, at least better than letting Barnes, who is used to the No. 3 position, start small forward." â
"It's something to be happy about anyway, he's growing faster and faster, so I don't know if starting today will bring us more surprises." Zhao Ke is a die-hard fan of Chen Lei at the moment, although Chen Lei can't play a few games, but he likes this fat man very much" I guess, Rivers also wants to try the effect of Chen Lei's start, Chen Lei's shooting rate is also seen by the big guy, and the attack power in the small forward is not weaker than Barnes. â
"Let's wait and see." Although Su Yi was not as excited as Zhao Ke, he was also a little looking forward to it, and when he saw the start of the game, he locked his eyes on the broadcast screen, staring at the fat man with yellow skin who was doing chest expansion exercises.
The starting lineup of the Clippers, the point guard still can't beat Paul, the scoring guard was squeezed by Chen Lei, Barnes, small forward Chen Lei, power forward Griffin, and center Jordan Jr.
This lineup has enough height, except for Paul, everyone else is above 201 cm, which can be described as a 'tall man'.
The Warriors' starting lineup, point guard Stephen. Curry, shooting guard Clay. Thompson, small forward Andre. Iguodala, power forward David. Lee, center Andrew. Bogut.
The Warriors are not inferior to the Clippers in terms of lineup, they have their own shining stories at every point, and they have a stronger win than the Clippers in this game**, to get more wins to move up the rankings, killing the Clippers, who are third in the West, is obviously the most suitable choice.
In this way, the smell of gunpowder was filled with this strong duel before it began, and the fans at the scene were also looking forward to the start of the big battle one by one.
Jordan Jr. didn't give his opponent the slightest chance in the jump ball, the Clippers got the ball and started the offense, Paul controlled the rhythm and waited for his teammates to show up, when Griffin shook off David. Li Shi swung the ball over with a strong swing.
Catch the ball, jump, shoot, Griffin pulled up the right side of the free throw line is a mid-range shot, the basketball hit the board and bounced the basket without slipping around and then out of the basket, and was taken away by Iguodala to collect the rebound.
The Warriors counterattacked Curry and broke through Paul under Iguodala's block, Chen Lei saw this and directly greeted Curry to make up for Curry, and the thin Curry faced the fat Chen Lei, and the picture looked a little happy at this moment.
But at this moment, no one said anything to laugh, Curry's body shook from side to side, the basketball moved quickly under the crotch, like a moving civet cat, so that they would only stretch out their thumbs to admire, Chen Lei was a little stupid at this moment in their eyes, and completely became the object of Curry's play.
Curry didn't entangle with Chen Lei for too long, his body changed direction and accelerated directly to shake off Chen Lei's defense, although Chen Lei realized Curry's offensive intentions, but he couldn't stop him at all.
It's so fast! Curry's speed Chen Lei couldn't keep up at all.
"Huh!" Curry hit the basket and Jordan Jr. had to take two steps outside to stop the guy, and Curry was waiting for this opportunity to throw the ball to Bogut under the basket, who picked up the basket.
Curry and Bogut high-fived, then looked at Chen Lei, "You are very courageous, this is not derogatory." â
"......" was passed in front of him and then turned around with a ridiculous 'compliment'? Is this a compliment?
"Am I supposed to go up and beat him up?" Chen Lei blinked and looked at Griffin on the side.
"Isn't it okay?" Griffin shook his head.
"I feel like I can!" Little Jordan nodded.
"Tee, you three bastards!" Paul saw the three of them throwing the ball directly to Jordan Jr., who laughed twice and ran to the sidelines to serve.
(The positioning of the protagonist is definitely not a small forward, but the team needs to be on top of the last resort, wait, he will go to the starting position of the power forward, but at that time, it is uncertain whether to squeeze out Griffin or go to another team or be captured by aliens, hehe~.)
Anyway, the Big Three of the Heat have all jumped out of the contract, does the big guy have a prophecy? Will it ever come true? You can discuss it with my father~)
