Chapter 151: Unparalleled (Fourth Update)
"It's yellow, this store is yellow!"
"It's too salty, too spicy! This is Italian pizza, this is Indian pizza! ”
After eating the "test meal" sent by Ida's father, Min Congda drank water all the way back to the audience.
In more than half an hour, the game will start, and although Min Congda didn't eat dinner well, he got the result he wanted.
With the taste of this restaurant, it would be a crime to let him continue to exist in the Stamp Center.
On which day if the fans eat bad stomachs, they will not be able to pay 18,000?
"Very good, if you really have a bad stomach one day, our Clippers will compensate you in full!"
"I heard that the United States has a bad stomach and scratches the skin or something, and it will pay millions or tens of millions of reparations at every turn, which is a good thing, and it fully reflects the decision for the people. There is merit in this capitalism. ”
At this time, the players from both sides have already come to the scene to warm up.
LeBron James and Curry had a great conversation during the warm-up.
The two knew each other before Curry entered the NBA, and James also went to watch Curry's games in college.
They were born in the same hospital in Akron, Ohio, but their fates were very different.
Unaware of who his father was, James grew up with his mother in the slums of Akron.
I don't know how many places I changed places and how many times I moved.
And although Curry was born in Akron, Dale Curry played in the Hornets, so Curry grew up in Charlotte.
In Charlotte he lived in a large mansion, received a good education, and took basketball lessons at a very young age.
Two people whose original fate lines are very different are because of basketball convergence.
"Hey, Stephen, you've been playing well lately, I watched that game against the Lakers, and that three-point shot in that corner was fantastic."
"It's a pity that the last ball was lost! Ha ha! ”
Curry thought to himself, if you really want to praise me, you can not say the latter sentence.
"Hey bro, how does life feel playing in Los Angeles?" James asked again.
"It's very nice, the climate is great and the city is great. Why, should you consider coming to Los Angeles in the summer of 10? ”
Curry knew that James' contract expired in the summer of '10, but he just made a joke.
There are only a handful of superstars like James who have left their parent team to vote for someone else.
It can't be said that there is none, such as Chamberlain, who went to the 76ers at the age of 29, and Abdul-Jabbar, who went to the Lakers at the age of 26.
At that time, their choice also suffered a lot of criticism, but after a long time, Chamberlain had died, and no one said anything about their success.
Moreover, the public opinion environment of the NBA in the 60s and 70s was very different from now, the NBA was still very weak, and the basketball culture was not fully established.
Now it's different, the NBA is very influential, and after being shaped by Michael Jordan's generation, the NBA has a set of aesthetic standards.
A superhero like Jordan deserves one person and one city to win the highest glory for the city team.
James wears the number 23 with the goal of surpassing Jordan, and this year marks his seventh year in the league.
Jordan won the NBA championship in his seventh year, so James has high hopes this year after losing last year.
However, instead of renewing his contract with the Cavaliers early, he gave himself the option to leave Cleveland in the summer of 10.
Hearing Curry's suggestion, James just smiled and said, "I want a championship, not a warm climate." ”
Curry said: "If you come here, you will definitely win the championship, what our team lacks is the No. 3 position!" And you know, our general manager, Mr. Smart, is a very remarkable, very discerning person. With him under his leadership, the Clippers' roster will get stronger and stronger, which is much better than the Cavaliers management. ”
As he spoke, Curry and James looked at Min Congda, who was sitting on the sidelines.
This guy was drinking water all the time, and his mouth was still spicy and spicy.
"I'll do my best to stay in Cleveland kid, don't think about it. It's not good to think about bringing in reinforcements at a young age, and people still have to rely on themselves. ”
James criticized Curry, who shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then hopefully we'll see you in the Finals one day." ”
James smiled and thought to himself, although the Cavaliers are indeed a bad team for a thousand years, the operation in the past few years has been disappointing.
But if the league can be compared to the Cavaliers in the history of the league, the Clippers are definitely the best.
It's a team that has both suffered curses, and now that the Cavaliers are seeing the light of day under James, what about the Clippers?
But as soon as the game officially started in the evening, James knew where the Clippers' light was heading.
Barang Davis was sidelined with a knee injury, and because it was back-to-back, the coaching staff gave him a break out of protective principles.
Barang Davis hasn't been in good form in these games.
In a three-game losing streak, Davis played mediocre due to injury.
In particular, his three-point shooting was terrible.
The shooting percentages for the three games were 1-of-5, 0-of-3 and 0-of-4.
In other words, he scored a total of 1 three-pointer in three games.
Such a three-point shooting rate has too much impact on the team's offense, and the team's interior offensive pressure has increased dramatically.
Baran Davis, knowing that his knee condition is not good, also went on a night trip to Santa Barbara with Min Congda.
The Four Kings of Wine and Wealth, Randolph quit drinking, and Tenderloin Davis calmly concentrated on playing.
Only Baron Davis was left to follow the general manager to continue fooling around, and as a result, his form slipped further.
After that, the team doctor thought that Davis was not in good condition in his knee, and since it was back-to-back, the coaching staff simply let him rest.
Stephen Curry served as the starting point guard for the Clippers.
Gordon is also back in the starting line-up and playing shooting guard.
On the inside arrangement, Dunleavy held on for a while to get Camby to start.
Now that he finally can't hold on, Gasol Jr. is gradually integrating into the team.
He and Zach Randolph are getting more and more tacit together, and Camby feels that he is not as good as a young man, and he does not occupy the pit and does not, and takes the initiative to give Gasol a chance to start.
The Clippers are gradually coming out of their post-trade discomfort after the Karman trade.
Change tactics in training, change routines, watch videos, re-find feelings in games, and cultivate tacit understanding.
After a series of losses, the young Clippers continued to set sail and challenge a formidable opponent.
It's not easy for them to fight against managers who think about making trouble all day long.
The game started on time, the Clippers wore a white jersey, and the Cavaliers wore a retro blue jersey tonight.
The Cavaliers started James, Mo Williams, JJ Hickson, Shaquille O'Neal and Anthony Parker.
What do you say about the Cavaliers' lineup...... It can only be said that the Cavaliers management tried their best, but it was true that they couldn't get any really strong players.
O'Neill was famous and powerful, but at this age, he has declined very much.
The others are so-so and okay, the regular season is useful, and the playoffs are really hard to say.
In the face of the Clippers, the Cavaliers are not dominant in this lineup, and to put it bluntly, it is still a problem of point guards and power forwards.
Mo Williams has an excellent shooting hand and was an All-Star last season with James' bonus.
However, in addition to shooting and scoring, Williams can contribute too little in other aspects, and can only be said to be a threat to the Clippers.
But to restrain the Clippers like Chris Paul does, it really can't be done.
Not to mention the power forward position, JJ Hickson, a jumping man like Randolph, is the least afraid.
The only thing the Cavaliers can rely on is LeBron James, who can penetrate the Clippers' already weak No. 3 position.
This is the knight's biggest advantage.
And the Cavaliers opened the game trying to open up the situation from the inside, allowing O'Neal to launch consecutive attacks in the low post.
Mike Brown thought very simply, taking advantage of O'Neal's good start to the game, he grabbed two and hit two.
But a heavy center forward like Gasol Jr. is really not afraid of the elderly O'Neal, he can move on top.
O'Neal missed two back-to-back singles in the opening game, and the Clippers won the backcourt rebound steadily and quickly pushed back to counterattack.
Curry was in control, the Clippers' rhythm was driven, Thorton received the ball and rushed to the basket, but ate a James hat.
The second time, Curry chose to hold the ball and slip to the bottom line, find a shooting opportunity with the help of cover, and quickly hit a mid-range shot!
Score the first point at the start.
James immediately tried a mid-range pull-up jumper and hit it.
James started the game off to a decent start.
The Cavaliers can't score in the low post, but the Clippers can, and the Blue Fat Man is at the top.
Hickson's one-on-one defense in front of Randolph was for nothing, and Randolph hit consecutive shots in the low post.
After receiving the ball in the low post on the left side, Sigma stepped to the front frame and hit a strong inside hook.
Turn inside the low post on the right side and go to the middle, hook the shot.
Slip to the bottom line to receive Curry's pass, and get a rebound!
Coupled with Gasol Jr.'s high-post jumper, the Clippers opened the game to a 10-2 run for the Cavaliers.
Min Congda scratched his head and thought, "The high and low positions of Gasol Jr. and Randolph, this cooperation is okay." O'Neill was originally guarding the three-second zone, but now he is being pulled by Gasol Jr., and Hickson can't guard Randolph at all. And if O'Neill goes to defend against Randolph? No, Jr. can go to the low post and crush Hickson with his weight, and Randolph can punish O'Neal for a mid-range jumper. Trouble, this ball...... The knight number three must step up. ”
Now Min Congda has calmed down a lot when he sees the Clippers leading.
If he had already scolded two months ago, O'Neal, would you attack, and Hickson, would you defend?
He's got a calmer mentality, and the game has just begun.
Just as he thought about that, the next round, James' defensive stance changed.
He interspersed into the rib area, gave up covering the bottom corner, and directly cut off one of Curry's inward passes!
After the break, James launched a counterattack directly from the backcourt!
Accelerate, sprint, get past the midfield, and skim Curry with ease.
Curry didn't even get a chance to foul, and James passed by like a tank.
Then rushed to the front court, the basket was empty, and he won the one-handed dunk!
The fans at the scene, even the Clippers fans, were amazed by James' brave impact.
Fans who are close to the basket can feel the unparalleled momentum up close.
At 4:10, the backward Cavaliers started from defense and began to counterattack.
