Chapter 244: Skirmish before the game
At the Staples Center, the Clippers staff apparently knew about Cressie's 40-point score in the opener, and it was reported by many other media outlets besides the TV media. The time of communication of print media and online media is a little earlier than that of TV media!
"Hey, man, come on. ”
"Boy, that's a good point, I'm sure you can do it. ”
"Leave it alone those guys who hack you, they can't do it, so think no one can't do it. ”
“......”
As Cressy passed, some of the Clippers patted him on the shoulder, some shouted encouragement...... Cressy responded with a smile: "Don't worry, I, Cressy will definitely get forty points if I say forty points, and I will never break my word." ”
In the Clippers locker room, Corey Margeti looked at Cressy with some dissatisfaction, he didn't like this kind of big-talking player, especially if the opponent still had a certain competition with him.
Although Cresy played the shooting guard position in the Clippers, in practice, the kid also performed like a fish in water at the small forward position.
The team's leading point guard, Sam Cassel, thinks differently from Corey Margetty, who likes hard players, and Kreesi's crazy training during these days surprised and agreed with him.
He also has no bad opinion of Cressie's direct rhetoric of "cutting forty points" in the opening game.
He felt it was good for the players to put a little pressure on him, and he said to Cressy: "I'll pass the ball to you, as long as you run your chances and stay in position. ”
Corey Margeti muttered, "Don't mess up the game!"
Crecy's substitute, Quinton Rose, was expressionless, but his heart was overjoyed.
He felt that the third-ranked kid would definitely roll over in today's game, which would be good for him, and if this guy didn't make a mistake at all, he would still have a chance to turn over.
As for Elton Brand, the boss of the Clippers, he will be absent for this game, and he accidentally sprained his ankle in practice a few days ago, which is not a major injury, and can be recuperated for a few days.
However, as the boss of the team, he still stood up and said: "Everything is about the victory of the team, and any personal desire must be put second." ”
His remarks were somewhat targeted, and the arrival of Cressy Bars has touched his position as the boss of the Clippers.
Cressie, who had not spoken, stood up, looked around with his hands and arms, and suddenly there was a majestic momentum, the commander of the army for a year was not in vain, he said with blazing eyes: "Today, I will get forty points, and the Clippers will win, I said!"
Corey Margety opened his mouth to refute, but for some reason, he felt a little worried in his heart, and he always felt that this kid's gaze was a little scary, which made his heart furry when he swept over.
Elton Brand feels the same way.
Just kidding, the evil spirit tempered on the battlefield is not so easy to bear.
At the same time, the two thought of the video of Cressy beating the boxing champion Messerway, and what they wanted to say was stifled again, and they were both depressed.
Mike Dunleavy, who has been an invisible man for a while, glanced thoughtfully at Cressy Bars, it seems that the team's boss handover will come a little earlier than expected.
Mike Dunleavy is naturally behind Cressie, after all, Elton Brand has proven over the years that he can't take the team to new heights as the boss.
Standing in the tunnel of the players, Cressy could already hear the cheers of the tsunami outside, and the visiting Warriors were ready to play.
Cressy saw Monta Ellis, and he deliberately walked over and whispered, "I'm going to be your nightmare after this fight." ”
Then Cressy was pushed on the shoulder, and the vicious Stephen Jackson forced him, "Boy, do you want to fight?"
Cressy smiled, "I'll accompany you in the fight, but after the game, you can choose whatever the field is." ”
Stephen Jackson then remembered that the other party had defeated the boxing champion, but the video made him marvel for a long time, and his face suddenly became a little sneering.
Fortunately, when the playing time came, Stephen Jackson hurriedly said: "We'll see you on the court." "Talk about fights is never mentioned again.
......
Staples Center Arena, underground parking lot, a Ford pickup truck slowly drove in.
The windows on both sides of the pickup were open, and Pavarotti's deep tenor poured out, singing "My Sun."
(Guys, do you really think the world is all about basketball? Hehe, how is that possible!)
As the car came to a stop, the door opened, and a large foot in leather boots stepped out.
A burly figure emerges from the pickup.
It was a Caucasian man, blonde, dressed in a black jeans suit with black jeans, black leather boots, black sunglasses, a cigar in his mouth, and a grim face.
The man was carrying a black handbag in his hand and looked around with a wary gaze.
At this moment, there was no one in the parking lot, and there was a faint cheer from the Staples Center arena above.
The man's golden eyebrows were raised, and a pair of blue eyes shot an incomprehensible look.
He whistled, and the canvas on the tow bucket behind the pickup truck was suddenly lifted, and four sturdy men in camouflage uniforms jumped from above.
"Sir, we're starting to set it up. ”
"Go ahead. ”
......
The race is in full swing.
The Clippers' starting lineup from No. 1 to No. 5 is Sam Cassel, Cressy Bars, Ruben Patterson, Corey Margetty, and Chris Carman.
The opposite Warriors have a lineup from No. 1 to No. 5 with Byron Davis, Monta Ellis, Kelana Azubuke, Stephen Jackson and Andris Biedrins.
Both sides are a large lineup with four small, and they are also typical "American fast attack" formations.
Obviously, this is a big battle of attack.
At the beginning of the game, the two sides didn't even have a tentative process, the offense started, the offense and defense instantly accelerated, and you came and went.
It's Cressie's favorite way to play.
But it is also the Warriors' favorite way to play, because Don Nelson, the originator of "fast break", is sitting in the Warriors' dugout at this time!
On the commentary bench, ESPN's commentators Joan Barry and Jeff Van Gundy were singing and analysing the game.
"I think the Clippers still have a big advantage at shooting guard, because Cressy Bars has the physicality and his height against Monta Ellis. ”
Joan Barry dismisses the views of his former coach and current partner, "I don't really like our new scout, his shooting is not consistent enough, his style of play is mainly based on breakthroughs, and under the NBA defense, it is difficult for him to get opportunities like in the NCAA." ”
