Chapter 383: MVP Can't Do Without a Good Body (10,000 Words Chapter)
On the morning of December 19, in addition to following the trend to discuss Li Ze's performance last night, all that remained was to complain that the Warriors' winning streak had been ended.
Many sports media believe that the Warriors have a chance to break the 27-game winning streak created by the Clippers, and the Warriors have a very friendly schedule before Christmas!
Even if the Cavaliers were met in the Christmas game, most commentators thought that with the current state of the Warriors, they could easily crush and win.
The Cavaliers have a 16-7 record after the previous day's win over the Thunder, and Kyrie Irving is still recovering from knee surgery, which is why the Cavaliers' record is fluctuating so far.
Everyone didn't expect that the Warriors would fall to the Bucks, which was a real slap in the face...
The battle for MVP this season is mainly focused on Li Ze, LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant.
Curry's team's personal record is very impressive, and the Warriors' winning streak has also added a lot of points to Curry himself.
Although Li Ze's data exploded, he got too much MVP, in addition to aesthetic fatigue, the league also wanted to praise newcomers.
It's a pity that Curry's recent form has fluctuated, and if there is no Li Ze, everyone can accept it, but in contrast, many ball critics will subconsciously raise the standard:
"Consistency is also an important factor in the selection of MVPs, and Stephen Curry is not yet able to meet the criteria for a superstar..."
After losing a game in a good schedule, Stephen Curry's reputation immediately began to decline, which is also the impact of the Internet, and the performance of the players has been magnified countless times.
The Clippers don't have time to pay attention to social media, and they fly straight to Houston on the morning of Day 2, where they will take on the Rockets back-to-back tonight.
There shouldn't be much suspense in the game, though, as unlucky Chris Paul has been injured recently.
In the No. 14 game between the Rockets and the Nuggets, Paul was hit in the rib by Jamil Nelson and had no choice but to go off the court with an injury.
The bearded baller rarely found his form, and as a result, the game was difficult to pull off, allowing Dwight Howard to complete his revenge again, and the Rockets lost to the Nuggets...
I thought it was an ordinary hard injury, but unfortunately Paul was really unlucky, the next day the rib cartilage was inflamed, and the Rockets officially released an injury announcement, and he is expected to miss at least half a month.
On the plane to Houston, Matt Barnes also remembered the situation of his old teammates, and reluctantly complained about Paul's injury:
"Chris really should let go, there is no need to fight so hard for the Rockets' record, some small moves are unnecessary."
Crawford understands Paul, but the veteran likes to tease the hapless as always:
"Chris doesn't like to lose, but seriously, he's not the right attacker and once he's on the ball, the easiest way to play against him is to give him physicality."
"May God bless Chris, he doesn't have a big contract, he really shouldn't leave the Clippers!"
"Kayce, it looks like this season, you have a great chance to win the MVP again!"
Hearing Crawford's words, Li Ze shook his head indifferently:
"I don't care about this award, it's enough to get a triple in a row, or it's more important to win the championship!"
What Li Ze said is the true idea, only the champion can make his championship badge qualitatively change, win 6 championships, and new additional attributes will appear after 3-in-1.
Since the Clippers are all charter planes, everyone sits casually after getting on the plane, and the team's transparent Ty Lawson also got on the veterans' side.
Thinking that Li Ze doesn't even care about the MVP, Ty Lawson has a lemon in his heart, and he doesn't have to think about the game in December, he can get some playing time in January.
It's not that everyone forgives him for his big mouth, but to brush up the data for the future transaction to ensure that he can leave the team at a high price...
Most of the newcomers to the Clippers are fighting for guaranteed contracts, and several veterans are ready to retire!
Matt Barnes and Crawford both want to sign a large retirement contract in the offseason and then end their NBA careers.
Li Ze also knew what the two meant, and when he met the fish belly team, he would also take the initiative to help the two of them brush up the data.
The coaching staff also turned a blind eye to this matter, and as long as Li Ze agreed, everyone would not care.
As if thinking of the bearded golfer's gossip again, Matt Barnes laughed and teased Khloe Kardashian's recent:
"The affectionate and righteous Kohler, who takes care of the seriously ill Odom live, is worthy of being a family living under the camera!"
Everyone laughed out loud, most of the players actually didn't like to watch the Kardashian family's show, but this time everyone followed to eat melons, Li Ze also remembered what happened to the bearded golfer, and sighed silently in his heart:
"Without Kardashian, Harden becomes Jordan, it seems that the Rockets will get back on track in the second half of the season..."
That night's game happened to be the national live broadcast of the Rockets' NBA TV.
The camera frequently shows Chris Paul, the chairman of the cannon in civilian clothes, sitting on the bench with a pulled face.
In the first quarter of the game, 38:17, the Clippers blossomed inside and out, and a wave took away the game.
The starter in place of Paul was Patrick Beverley, who did work the defensive end, but was a little shorter, and finally lonely.
Harden's state disappointed the Rockets fans at the scene, scoring 7 points on 2-of-6 shooting, 3-of-3 from the free-throw line, and still not finding his touch outside the three-point line.
Houston fans seem to have had enough of the unpredictable James Harden, and many fans have been cheering on Lee's goal since the second quarter of the game.
As the interim head coach this season, Bickerstaff has some helplessness in his heart.
He simply can't manage the star players on the team, and Harden said that even if he doesn't have the fighting spirit on the court, he doesn't dare to lose his temper and let Harden go down like McHale.
How to get along with the star players on the team is a very important part of the NBA.
Bickerstaff clearly didn't have a foothold on the Rockets, and from a defensive end, the Rockets' players looked very scattered.
Jokic received the ball at the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line, and Li Ze, who completed the pass, cut in with a simple UCLA.
The body shook to the left, went to the right side to cut in, and with the cover of the white fat man, Li Ze easily got rid of Ariza's defense and went straight to the basket.
There was no communication between the Rockets' players on the court, and Terrence Jones at the bottom left of the basket had no awareness of helping the defense at all.
Seeing Li Ze jump high, he caught Jokic's pass in the upper right corner of the basket, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, and smashed the ball into the basket with one arm!
“wow!”
There were a lot of cheers in the Toyota Center Arena, and there were many Chinese fans present, plus Li Ze's fans, and the home and away sides were translocated for a while.
Li Ze, who scored the goal, did not celebrate, but patted Jokic, and reminded loudly when he returned to defense:
"Delay the defense! Protect the rebounds! ”
The white fat man had a bitter face, and when he met the fish belly team, he wanted to paddle and fish on the defensive end, and it was too tiring to defend actively.
With the last 3 minutes and 42 seconds left in the first half, the bearded golfer who reappeared seemed to have lost his desire to attack, and instead made a move for half a day, he passed the ball vigorously.
Facing Tucker who came up with a switch, Harden at the top of the arc not only did not choose to hold the ball alone, but dribbled for a while and suddenly passed the ball to Ariza on the left wing.
Li Ze did shrink inside the three-point line, but passing the ball so carelessly underestimated his defense, and before the opponent received the ball, he accelerated forward, and then snatched the ball away.
The bearded golfer and Ariza quickly retreated, and Capela on the free throw line rushed to Li Zemeng for the first time.
Aiming at the defensive movement behind him, Li Ze, who rushed to the paint area, slowed down slightly, and after jumping, he approached the basket and threw the ball back.
After shaking off the pursuit of the three, the follow-up Jokic took advantage of the situation to release the basket after receiving the ball!
The cheers at the scene were suddenly reduced by half, and it was clear that many fans were looking forward to a wonderful dunk.
"I'm really not good at dunking!"
Jokic naturally felt the atmosphere of the scene, was slightly embarrassed, and when he retreated, he explained to everyone on the Clippers team.
The mistake was counterattacked, the iron was still counterattacked, and at the end of the half, the Toyota Center Arena was booed for a while.
The Rockets scored 19 points in a single quarter, 68:36, and the game completely lost its suspense.
Everyone on the Clippers walked to the players' tunnel with a relaxed expression, and Li Ze, who returned to the locker room, saw Jokic sitting down, and immediately shook his head and complained:
"Nikolai, at your age, why do you often make iron and bloody layups?"
“...”
Hearing everyone's laughter, Jokic reluctantly held the kettle and drank wildly:
"It's all 2 points anyway, so it shouldn't be any different..."
At halftime, the on-site director turned his camera on Candace and Lauren Cohan who were present.
has eaten the dividends of the gossip traffic of the bearded golfer, and for these two Li Ze's friends, the broadcaster does not want to miss it.
Candace wore a blue Clippers away jersey and smiled at the camera and said hello.
Lauren Cohan on the side also waved his hand, and many people at the scene recognized him, and after becoming a resident guest of the American drama "The Walking Dead", Lauren Cohan's popularity has also increased a lot.
"It's like this every time, I won't accompany you to Houston next time we fight."
Lauren Coe leaned over to her friend and whispered about her identity as a tool man.
Candace was also a little embarrassed, but she didn't like to come to Houston on purpose alone, and she couldn't get over it:
"There was no quarrel, we were just good friends, the Elephant Party was about to have a primary, I just went home to help, and by the way, I came to see the game..."
Lauren Cohan looked at his friends around him and became quieter and quieter, and couldn't help but whisper:
"Dies, you should think about what kind of life you want, TV series and movies are completely different, do you want to be active in this circle all the time?"
The bloody "Vampire Diaries" will reach its final season next year, and Candace of course knows that she may not be able to receive this kind of popular American drama in the future, so she held her chin and pondered for a while before finally replying:
"Maybe I'll be a fashion designer in the future? I don't know, I just feel that life is a little boring. ”
Lauren Cohan also knew about Li Ze's chaotic life, and finally simply reminded:
"Kayce is not bad, he doesn't spend money indiscriminately, he doesn't stain the leaves, his career is getting better and better, and most importantly, he really likes blonde girls."
Candace smiled and twisted her friend beside her, no longer spoke, but secretly complained in her heart:
"That's so well said, isn't he a principled scumbag? ...”
In the second half of the game, Li Ze only played 7 minutes in the end, and the playing time in the whole game was only 25 minutes.
Gran Tehill, as the guest commentator of NBA TV tonight, saw Li Ze break early, and immediately said with some regret:
"It seems that Kayce will not play again tonight, 13 of 20, 37 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, and the 40+ scoring record is about to accumulate again."
"However, 29 consecutive games to cut 30+, not far from the record of 30+ points set last season of 32 games, this is the strength of Kayce."
Commentator Mike Tellico thought about the Clippers' schedule later and added with a smile:
"I believe Kayce has a chance to break the record he set last year, and maybe he has a chance to improve his number to around 40."
“...”
In the Toyota Center arena, halfway through the fourth quarter, many Rockets fans have already begun to leave the game.
Paul sat on the bench and pulled his face all the time, and Harden, who had 18 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists and 5 turnovers, was also depressed, and his big ass ran away!
At the official end of the game, the Clippers, who were fighting back-to-back, easily defeated the Rockets at 117-97.
Feeling that he had lost face in front of his old teammates, Paul, who was in a bad mood, simply greeted him and left.
Li Ze comforted Harden, who was hurt by the emotion, and the bearded golfer has not been in the mood to go to nightclubs recently.
Noticing that most of the court was empty, Li Ze was a little speechless in his heart, and when he saw that his little canary did not leave, he immediately smiled and stepped forward to hug and say hello.
Lauren Cohan patted Li Ze while hugging him, motioning for him to coax Candace.
It's just that in the end, seeing Li Ze smile and hug her friend, Candace didn't resist, but hammered Li Ze twice with a smile, and Lauren Cohan knew that she was going to turn into a light bulb again.
“goodnight,kayce! Take care of my little princess! ”
Lauren Cohan blinked, and although Li Ze was twisted by the little canary beside him, he responded with a smile on the surface:
"Let's go have a drink or two! Thank you for helping to take care of Dies! ”
“...”
The Clippers only have one game before Christmas, so the coaching staff also allowed everyone to move freely after the back-to-back.
Li Ze took Candace and Lauren Cohan to drink until the second half of the night.
After returning to the hotel, looking at Li Ze, who showed his sturdy upper body, Candace's face turned red in the misty lake:
"Would you like to spend Christmas with me this year?"
Li Ze, who is good at understanding people's clothes, helped the little canary in front of him to take off his restraints more intimately, and when he heard such a request, he didn't respond, but just leaned into the other party's ear and whispered:
"Next time, don't bother Lauren, just come to Los Angeles to find me..."
Lily Collins dubbed Candace a little canary looking for excitement, yearning for beautiful love but unwilling to live a peaceful life, and Li Ze felt that such a description was very appropriate...
On the morning of the 20th, Candace woke up in a daze and subconsciously took the water glass handed over, but what she saw was her friend Lauren.
"Oh! What time is it? ”
Lauren looked at her watch with a teasing smile, and then said teasingly:
"12:30, it's good to be young! Fortunately, the hotel has good soundproofing, and it seems that there is no need to go shopping together in the afternoon. ”
Candace slapped her forehead resignedly, looked at the message on her mobile phone, and her body was still a little weak:
"Bastard! Every time! ”
...
On the afternoon of the 21st, Li Ze, who had returned to Los Angeles, entertained his old friends of the Thunder at the house in Beverly Hills.
Turtle Turtle played away this time and brought his girlfriend Nina directly to Los Angeles.
First the Clippers and then the Lakers, and this year's Christmas Eve, the two plan to spend it in Los Angeles.
Nina watched her boyfriend circle around Taylor and glared fiercely before smiling at Li Ze and saying:
"Kayce, we've decided to have a wedding in the offseason!"
Hearing the news that the two decided to get married, Li Ze immediately smiled and sent his blessings:
"Congratulations, Russell is definitely a good man to rely on!"
The two have been together for nine years, and Li Ze has witnessed the love story of the turtle.
In Améika, getting married is not a simple matter, and the two can finally enter the marriage hall after being together for so many years, which is definitely true love.
Nina had good grades in college and was the scoring champion of the UCLA women's basketball team.
Nick Collison and Yin Baca were also there, wearing a pink hat and a casual Durant drinking juice depressedly on the side, Li Ze also noticed Adu who didn't speak, and immediately comforted him:
"Injuries are inevitable, you should trust your body!"
Durant couldn't help but sigh, in the game with the Lakers the day before yesterday, he strained his left hamstring in the game.
Thinking of being out of injury for at least a month, Durant felt that the MVP was leaving him again:
"Shet! It was all caused by injuries last year, but in previous years, my body didn't have these problems! ”
Li Ze also feels that Durant's body is getting weaker and weaker, playing in the NBA, physical consumption is inevitable, and Durant wants to play 82 games as easily as he did in his rookie days, and there is a high probability that he will be out of play.
Influenced by Li Ze, Yin Baka, since joining the Thunder team, basically has not had too many injuries, and his physical condition is getting better and better.
"It's okay to be able to make the playoffs this year, but it's a pity that Coach Brooks is still out of class."
Yin Bacca's words also reminded Nick Collison of the past, and he also sighed:
"If only the Thunder had changed shareholders earlier..."
Durant glanced at the turtle on the other side, and then looked at Li Ze who was smiling, but complained silently in his heart:
"If they all stay with the Thunder, who should the MVP be for?"
The night's game, although Durant was missing, still attracted the attention of a large number of commentators.
After head coach Donovan came to the Thunder, the turtle became the core of the team.
Durant's absence due to injury has led the Thunder to start the Turtles, Dion Vitesse, Andre Robertson, Sergi Yinbaca, Steven Adams.
Although on the Clippers' side, it is difficult to restrain the energetic turtles, and Jokic, who protects the basket, has been deflated for many rounds, but correspondingly, the outside line of the Thunder's crotch pull was completely emptied by the Clippers.
Looking at the players who were still playing iron in the big empty space, Coach Donovan moved back to the bench.
Every time the Thunder struck the iron, they could make Staples Arena burst into huge cheers.
Vitesse's three-point jumper hit the iron again, and Li Ze, who received the long rebound, immediately launched a transition attack.
Unlike the turtle and turtle hanging block acceleration straight line impact, Li Ze has more offensive means in the face of big men.
Facing Yin Baka, who was rapidly retreating, he rushed into the paint area, and immediately took a big step forward to the right with his right foot, and broke through on the right side of the sheep suit.
Yin Baka's defensive center of gravity had just been adjusted, and Li Ze quickly took a step forward to the left, marched in a large European step, came to the bottom left of the basket, and easily shook off the defense and scored a goal!
Hearing the cheers of the fans at the scene, Yin Baka was a little helpless, and his defense was completely shaken off.
After the long rebound, the Clippers have been beaten by Li Ze many times, and Coach Donoman took a look at Kanter on the bench and suddenly felt that coaching the Thunder was not an easy task...
In the second quarter of the game, the turtle who returned to the court seemed to be unable to find his touch, and the two mid-range pullup jump shots were all iron, and the Thunder suddenly fell into a scoring drought for a while.
The block at the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line, Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, attracted Adams' attention, and took advantage of the opponent's cooperation with Robertson to wrap him, and sent a crotch pass to the ground during the march.
The ball slipped through the slit, and the rest of Jokic struggled to get up and finally completed a dunk!
"Oh!
”
The rare sight immediately made the Clippers fans shout with excitement.
Robertson, who has just mentioned the starting lineup this season, was completely blinded, full of confidence before the game, but became Li Ze's ATM in the game.
Vitesse thought of himself as Durant, with the Thunder in a stalemate, hitting back-to-back shots from beyond the three-point line for several rounds.
Naturally, there were two more counter-attacks, and at half-time, Donovan shook his head in his heart and went back to suggest that Presti find a few reliable goalscorers for the team...
At 22:30 in the first quarter, the score was fixed at 49:62 in the first half, and the Clippers easily led by 13 points.
Without Durant, and with the turtle suddenly entering the sewers, the Thunder's offense collapsed and was crushed by the Clippers' steady offense.
As the focus of the tournament before Christmas, TNT naturally broadcast the game as well.
Reggie Miller looked at the technical statistics and briefly commented on the first half:
"Coach Donovan has to solve the problem of outside shooting, the Clippers are getting smaller and smaller, and Durant is so important for this team."
Chris Webber also smiled and nodded when he heard his partner's words, and then added:
"At the moment, the Thunder are 18-9, the team is just on the right track, Durant's injury is not at the right time, and I hope he can find his form as soon as possible after he returns from injury."
Commentator Kevin Harlan is most concerned about Li Ze's data.
9-of-13, 2-of-5 from beyond the three-point line, 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, and 24 points at halftime, it seemed that there was not much suspense in this game, and commentator Kevin Harlan said in a brisk tone:
"It seems that if Kayvp votes tonight, I will definitely prefer Kayce."
Chris Webb also immediately gave his opinion when he heard this topic:
"If Stephen Curry can beat Kayce in terms of record, I'll vote for him this season."
Seeing that the schedule is more than halfway through, there are more and more discussions about this season's MVP, and the three have also started a new round of debate in the national live broadcast.
In the second half of the game, Durant sitting on the bench was depressed, and more than half of the game was a key moment in the MVP selection.
originally planned to work hard before the All-Star break, but his body couldn't stand it, Durant didn't want Li Ze to win the MVP again, so the gap between the two would be even greater....
It's a pity that it backfired, with the help of the turtle, Li Ze's playing time came to 36 minutes, and he played another 6 minutes in the fourth quarter before being replaced.
With 41 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals, Durant, who was always staring at Li Ze's data, was even more unbeautiful, and he could already think of the scene of the media blowing each other after the game:
"Can't this guy just wilt? ...”
Li Ze didn't know that Durant was helping him score points, and if he won tonight's game, the Clippers would be able to rest peacefully before Christmas.
Coupled with the fact that this year's Christmas war is a formality, Li Ze is in a good mood, which can barely be regarded as the annual leave in 2015.
In the end, the full-time score was fixed at 100:113, and the Thunder counterattacked to no avail, and suffered another defeat.
Turtle doesn't mind losing, he likes the feeling of being at the core.
10 of 25, including 1 of 5 three-pointers, 7 of 9 free throws, 28 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 3 turnovers, he is still quite satisfied with his own performance.
The Thunder will not leave Los Angeles after the loss, and they will continue to face the Lakers until Christmas Eve.
The Staples Arena is still noisy, and many fans are waiting for the autographed photos of Li Ze, Turtle, and Durant.
Seeming to regain the feeling of last season's lone hero, Turtle Turtle silently thought in his heart while signing autographs for fans:
"Maybe it's time for me to pursue some honors..."
...
The Clippers are entering the Christmas holiday time, and the Lakers next door are still on Kobe Bryant's retirement tour.
On the 22nd, in the Lakers' away game against the Nuggets, Kobe Bryant and Howard finally shook hands.
The Black Mamba played efficiently that night, 10-of-22, with 31 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 1 turnover, leading the Lakers to a 111-107 victory over the Nuggets.
Although the Lakers are currently only 5-23, the Comeys are still happy:
"The boss's game is definitely one less game!"
Li Ze began to accompany the girls to make big purchases, except for Anne, no one was proficient in cooking, but when purchasing ingredients, they were all interested.
In the words of the money printing chick, this is the sense of ceremony!
Li Ze's apparent brother Griffin has changed his girlfriend again, and there has been more gossip news than game news recently, so the reason for this is naturally that Griffin is injured again.
Like Chris Paul's hapless bastard, Griffin suffered a quadriceps strain after 25 games and is expected to be out of action for at least a month.
On the night of the 23rd, the Celtics defeated the Hornets 102-89, and the team's record also came to 16-13.
After coming to the Celtics, they had to readjust to the new tactics of head coach Stevens, so the team's record was not ideal at the beginning of the season.
The run-in was almost over, but he collapsed, and he originally wanted to take advantage of January to impact the record, improve the data, and enter the MVP candidate list by the way, but this strain made Griffin's plan all come to naught.
In the offseason, he was still dreaming of being able to eat the dividends of the East, and he joined the Celtics, but the result was completely beyond Griffin's expectations:
"It's good to be everywhere, and the data is just swiping that..."
On Christmas Eve on the 24th, a large number of the team's Christmas activities were posted on the Clippers' ins, in addition to giving back to the fans, all the Clippers also participated in the Christmas activities in Inglewood.
Steve Ballmer is in a good mood, although the old man doesn't like the current team's lineup very much, thinking that there are too few stars, but the current record is beyond his expectations.
After the morning at Inglewood City Hall, Steve Ballmer and the team's management also drew a colorful pie for Li Ze during lunch:
"Kayce, believe in the team's determination, next offseason, we have space, we have draft picks, no one can say no to us!"
"Not only do we have to improve the quality of the starting line-up, but we also have to increase the thickness of the bench."
“...”
General Manager Gary Sachs heard the words of the big boss, and finally silently summed it up in one word:
“whatever!”
No matter what Li Ze asks, the team will most likely be satisfied, looking at Kim's thighs smiling and nodding on the side, Gary Sachs feels that he has to ventilate with Li Ze first in the offseason.
Although the general manager is a little strained when he gets to this job, Gary Sachs also comforts himself in his heart when he thinks of the rising annual salary:
"Let them be jealous! In a few more years, I will also be a senior manager..."
Every year, the Christmas War is the highlight of the NBA league, but the five games launched this year have all performed mediocre.
The game between the Pelicans and the Heat, although it went to overtime, there was no explosive data for both sides.
Anthony Davis, the son of Amerika, was very popular, and he had a big double-double of 29 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals, 3 blocks and 4 turnovers that night.
The Heat's Chris Bosh had a great performance, chipped in 30 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 steal, and Wade was 7-of-20 from the field and also scored 19 points.
At 88:94, the Heat finally had the last laugh and won the Christmas game, and the Heat's record also came to 17-11, ranking fourth in the East.
Durant was sidelined due to injury, and the Thunder lost again, 105:96, and the Bulls ended the suspense of the game after three quarters.
The game between the Spurs and the Rockets was even more ugly, 84:88, and the Rockets struggled to win thanks to the performance of Tony Pacla's crotch.
The Cavaliers and Warriors got a lot of attention in the game, but the game was hard to say.
Amerika's fans were expecting Curry to break out, but to everyone's disappointment, Curry was mediocre with 6-of-15, 19 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 3 turnovers.
At 83:89, the Warriors won the Christmas game with a hard-fought victory over the Cavaliers.
The appearance of Li Ze did not cause too many entanglements between the Cavaliers and the Warriors, and LeBron James did not take Curry seriously.
Despite the loss, LeBron James still looks calm, he has been much more low-key this season, James doesn't care about the regular season stats, he just wants to keep the team healthy.
The most emotional Christmas game is of course the game between the Clippers and the Lakers, which was the home court of the Lakers that night, and the league gave Kobe Bryant enough face.
Ticket prices have also doubled, and Comirates have swiped their cards to buy tickets, and everyone wants to see Kobe's last Christmas fight.
It's just that the game process is indescribable, Li Ze didn't contribute at all on the defensive end, and he didn't want to spoil everyone's good mood.
】
It's a pity that the Lakers' performance is really stretched!
At halftime, 62:44, the Clippers paddled wildly in the third quarter, but the Lakers only scored 13 points.
At 28:13 in the single quarter, the score difference became 30+...
Fans who bought high-priced tickets were dumbfounded, is this the Christmas war? That's all for the old and new scoring guards?
In the 4th quarter of the game, Kobe Bryant sat on the bench with a black face and no longer played, and the black mamba lost face, and his mood was naturally not beautiful.
Li Ze, who was paddling, also played unhappily, 12 of 18, and finally only got 32 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals.
The happiest in the game was only Jokic, the white fat man raged inside, 8 of 10, and slashed 20 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block!
Paddle can still get the data, sitting on the bench in the 4th quarter, almost grinning on the back of the head...
Jokic's family came to the scene, the two brothers celebrated wildly, and his little girlfriend Natalia also applauded happily.
The Clippers' atmosphere group did not give the Lakers face, and after the debut, it was a rush to the end, and at the end of the game, the score came to 115:84...
Staples Arena has been silent since the start of the third quarter, and the hardcore Cormie can't shout.
At the end of the game, the scene was even more noisy, winning or losing is not important, everyone is satisfied to see Kobe Bryant playing!
4-of-10, 12 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 turnovers, this is the data that Kobe Bryant got in the last Christmas game of his career.
After the game, Li Ze and Kobe Bryant simply embraced, and after the business blew each other, Kobe Bryant began to wave to the fans to express his gratitude:
“thank you!”
"Thank you to the fans who came to support the Lakers tonight, and I regret that I couldn't give you a great game..."
Seeing that the scene had turned into a large-scale fan meeting, Li Ze could only sigh in his heart:
"This is Kobe!"
On December 26, the NBA League announced the results of the first round of voting for the Toronto All-Star Game:
Kobe Bryant, a 17-time NBA All-Star, was successfully elected the first phase vote king with 719,000 votes.
This was the last All-Star game of Kobe's career, and the ticket price naturally went up again.
The league also gave Kobe Bryant a platoon, not only released the poster of the ticket king, but also released a video collection of Kobe's wonderful performances in the past Kobe All-Star Game.
Li Ze ranked second with 688,000 votes, Stephen Curry in third place got 510,000 votes, and LeBron James in fourth place only had 358,000 votes.
This year's ticket king can be said to be without suspense, 100% Kobe's, this all-star, Li Ze plans to keep fishing, which can be regarded as a vacation for himself.
In the last week of 2015, the Clippers started another road trip with easy wins over the Wizards, Hornets, Pelicans, and 76ers.
The Clippers also played a wave of 12 consecutive wins, and their record came to 33-3!
During this period, 114-91, the Warriors lost to the Mavericks, and their record also came to 30-3.
The reason for the loss is simple, Stephen Curry has an ankle problem and has no choice but to take a break.
After the game on January 2, Amelika's ball critics began to change their tone and began to praise Li Ze one-sidedly.
In the game against the Nuggets, Curry returned from injury, played 14 minutes, made 2 of 6, and scored only 5 points.
TNT kept up with current events and commented on the game for the first time, and host Earney Johnson was still sorry for the previous record that Li Ze had broken:
"There's no disrespect for the Wizards, surrender in the middle of the game, the fans won't like a game like this!"
Kenny Smith was also very helpless, Li Ze did break his own record, but only improved the record by one point, which was really not shocking enough...
"After 33 consecutive games and 30+, I have long been mentally prepared, putting aside this regrettable topic, let's talk about the issue of MVP this season."
"Chuck, seeing the performance of the Clippers, do you still insist that Stephen Curry will take the shot?"
Charles Barkley was also a little undecided at this time, mainly because Curry's performance in previous seasons was too glassy:
"I don't know! Seriously, I was blown away by Curry's performance, but sometimes a good body is needed for MVP! ”
"Look at Kayce and LeBron James, they've rarely missed games and haven't had any major injuries so far in their careers."
"If you want to be a great player, you have to be physically passable, and if Kayce's opponents this year all go down due to injury, then I can only regret that."
O'Neill motioned for the director to show the data, and then said with a low smile:
"We've found a very interesting phenomenon, look at Chris Paul, Blake Griffin now, can you imagine they were players in a row before?"
"DeAndre Jordan's stats are also shrinking, maybe we're all underestimating Kayce's impact, and if the Clippers keep up this record, I'm definitely going to vote for him!
The big screen shows the data of Paul, Griffin, and Jordan Jr. in the new season, which have shrunk to varying degrees compared to the last year of the Clippers.
The number of shots has indeed increased, but the efficiency has dropped a bit...
Host Ernnie Johnson also laughed at this time and added:
"In the next episode, we will count Gallinari's performance when he comes to the Clippers, and I believe many fans will be interested!"
“...”
The Clippers had a relaxed schedule in early January, and after three games in the second week, the team also won 15 in a row!
Gallinari is really getting better and better, and after more than two months of running-in, he has thoroughly adapted to the Clippers' tactics.
Many commentators are predicting that Gallinari will be selected in the best team this season, which also makes the Italian striker a little inflated!
On January 13, after a two-day break, the Clippers hosted the Heat.
Less than two minutes into the opening period, Gallinari fell to the ground in pain during the breakaway...
In the Staples Arena, the Clippers fans all exclaimed, and the linesman saw Gallinari's painful appearance and immediately motioned for the team doctor to enter.
The players on both sides were all gathered together, and Li Ze thought it was just an ordinary broken foot, but only to see Gallinari sweating profusely in pain realized the seriousness.
"Fack! How is it again! ”
Gallinari patted the floor painfully, couldn't help but curse twice, the fans at the scene also quieted down, Li Ze softened his forehead, and finally sighed helplessly in his heart:
"I almost forgot that this guy was an old bad guy too! Sure enough, endurance is the most important physical attribute..."
