Chapter 38: Facing the Detroit Pistons
Although the three-day period is very long compared to the regular season, they can't travel to other cities, so Chen Lei and Lei Tingting had to play a lap in Los Angeles.
The first time they both went out to play and the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend made a lot of joy between the two, Lei Tingting felt Chen Lei's full of love, and Chen Lei was more satisfied in the past and present life.
Whether it is Hollywood, Disney or Universal Studios, they have left their shadows, although they are recognized by countless people on the way, but fans will not flock to just say hello to Chen Lei, which is much better than in China, and the game will not be affected at all. Of course, this is famous for its convenience, and many places along the way can enjoy discounts.
On the third day, Chen Lei ushered in a good news, Penguin invited Chen Lei to endorse the game NBA2Konline for them, but James had endorsed this game before, and the reason for the endorsement invitation given by Penguin was that the two did not conflict, which was equivalent to signing two players for this game.
Chen Lei was really moved by Penguin's invitation, but he still refused the invitation.
This is not what he meant, but what Lei Tingting meant, because Lei Tingting knew that Chen Lei's endorsement fee would be more than it is now after a while, and at this moment they just took a fancy to Chen Lei's influence in China.
"How do you know I'm going to get more endorsement pay?" Lei Tingting, who Chen Lei asked at the time, did he know his secret?
"Don't forget what I've learned, besides, I believe in your strength." Lei Tingting didn't have a clear answer, and Chen Lei didn't ask, after all, he knew his own strength better than Lei Tingting, and it was basically impossible to discover the secrets of his body, even if someone dissected him, he probably wouldn't be able to find any abnormalities.
In this way, the two agreed on an endorsement contract and tried not to contact before the end of the season, anyway, the two are not short of money, and they are not in a hurry to use money for something.
On the 23rd, the Clippers hosted the Detroit Pistons after a few days of rest, and the results were not comparable between the two sides, but the fourth-to-last team in the East was not as easy to deal with as it seemed.
The inside line has Monroe and Josh. A fierce player like Smith, with Jennings's rhythm control on the outside, such a team is not a very good opponent but not an opponent that can be taken lightly, and often those upsets are seized by such teams to give you a fatal blow and let you lose the game.
Moreover, at this critical moment in the pursuit of second place in the West, the Clippers will not let their guard down, they will do their best to win every game, no matter how dangerous your record is, just blow you up.
"Damn!" On the Clippers bench, a fat man secretly sighed after listening to Rivers' tactical arrangement, and he was done today.
This fat man is Chen Lei, he is an important part of Rivers' tactics just now, and he was put in the starting position again today, so he should be happy in common sense, but his main opponent is actually Josh. Smith.
"I remember that guy once touched Bibby's ass!" Chen Lei felt a chill in his heart, how could he still meet a big forward who played a small forward in these years?
Clippers starting Rivers changed the lineup again today, the scoring guard was replaced by rookie Bullock, Crawford was pressed to the bench by Rivers, and Barnes still came off the bench today, starting small forward Chen Lei, big forward and center have not changed, no matter how to adjust, no one can replace Jordan Jr. and Griffin in the team.
Pistons starter point guard Blanton. Jennings, shooting guard Kyle. Singler, small forward Josh. Smith, power forward Andre. Drummond, center Greg. Monroe.
Even if he didn't want to, Chen Lei had to walk into the arena with the big army, looked at the big man with bulging muscles opposite, and frowned.
"This guy shouldn't be easy to deal with." With his own understanding of Smith, this guy's strength should be higher than his own, not to mention that his steps are definitely stronger than Chen Lei, so he doesn't have much advantage in the face of Smith except for critical hits.
Fortunately, he is only facing him on the offensive end, and he will return to the position of power forward on the defensive end.
"Whatever, this guy is a standard physical-type striker, as long as he doesn't compete with him, it's not a big deal." Chen Lei's ability to compare with Smith is a physical disadvantage in addition to the outside line, so isn't it okay to avoid the disadvantage?
The referee hooked hands at Jordan Jr. and Monroe, and the two walked to the halfway line to each side, and the players from both sides also took their positions.
"Dudu~" The referee blew the whistle in his mouth, raised his arm high to signal the attention of all departments, and held the basketball in his other hand twice, and threw the ball into the air.
"Come here!" Little Jordan roared and picked up his arm to flash the basketball into the air, and hooked the basketball directly to his own half of the court with a palm.
Paul moved sideways on the left side and opened his hand to bring the ball into his arms, raised two fingers and pointed to the front court to control the ball and start to advance.
Paul made the gesture of Griffin's first shot, and Griffin naturally ran desperately to find the most suitable position, and finally selected the right mid-distance as the attack point, jamming Drummond behind him.
Paul passes the ball to Griffin, who catches the ball and starts playing alone, but Drummond is not a man to mess with, this guy is the best of the rookies in interior defense, and although he has not been in the league for two years, he is also a player that every interior player has to pay attention to.
Drummond has a super physique, the same guy has super bounce and agility and arm span, Griffin originally planned to use his body to push this guy a few meters under the basket and then shot, but he didn't get it, but Griffin, who had entered his personal offensive rhythm, did not choose to pass the ball, but jumped up and pressed Drummond to throw the ball to the basket.
Drummond is not inferior to Griffin's physique, and then it was reflected, and in the case of a backward jump, he reached the same height as Griffin in an instant, if it weren't for the angle of Griffin's shot a few degrees higher this time, this ball would definitely be covered by him.
"Huh!" Griffin's shot did not disappoint the fans at the scene, and the basketball plunged into the basket as the Clippers 2:0 the Pistons.
Griffin has improved rapidly this year, and has improved in all aspects, especially during Paul's injury, he has effectively shouldered the responsibility of the boss and has become the most important part of the Clippers boss.
And this shot just now reflects his increasingly proficient turning and jumper ability, and he successfully scored the ball in the face of Drummond's almost face-covering defense, making a good start for the Clippers.
The Pistons' offense does not have a major center of gravity, and all five players in the court have good offensive ability, at least they all have their own stable offensive style, so the Clippers' defense is mainly one-on-one confrontation.
Chen Lei followed Rivers' tactical arrangement to return to the No. 4 position in defense against Pistons power forward Drummond, while Griffin went to defend Smith.
Drummond's offensive means are relatively simple, his way is to get as close to the basket as possible, so Chen Lei will not encounter much threat in defense, after all, his defense is still acceptable when he does not need to move widely under the basket.
Jennings' own solo shot was missed, Monroe took the rebound against Jordan Jr., and tried to attack without success, passing the ball from Jordan Jr.'s armpit to Drummond two meters away.
"Bang!" Drummond dribbled the ball towards the basket and collided directly into Chen Lei's body, Drummond, who was going to knock the opponent away to complete the shot, found that he seemed to have hit a meat wall and did not play a big role, but fortunately, the basket was two meters away, and he still had some confidence, and took a step forward to pick the ball to the basket.
(The first volume is coming to an end...) Chen Lei will usher in one of the biggest changes...... )
