The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 221 [Record Difference]

Everyone thought that the fourth quarter was garbage time, but there was an unexpected bright spot...

The Clippers' substitutes still scored crazily, defeating the Lakers' substitutes.

The current Clippers lineup is Gortat, McGee, Thornton, Tony Allen, and Barea.There is offense and defense, and the division of labor is clear.

The insiders of the Lakers are Gasol Jr., Mbenga, Walton, Vujacic, and Farmar.If you can't defend, you can't attack.

Thornton became the first offensive point of the Clippers.He was predicted to have no future and no chance to play. The Clippers selected him 36th in the second round. Experts said it was too high and the wrong person was selected.But his performance in summer league surprised everyone.Now he scored in consecutive singles against Wharton, which made people shine again.

Wharton's annual salary is several times that of Thornton, but the performance of the two on the court is opposite.

Jackson didn't call a timeout because he didn't think it was necessary.He thought that this game might be lost before, but he didn't expect it to be in such a way.What about calling a timeout?Is it possible to let all the main players of the Lakers play to compete with the Clippers' substitutes?That's even more embarrassing.

Barea and Thornton's breakthroughs were sharp, and Gortat was in charge of the peripheral pick-and-roll. After receiving the return pass, he passed Mbenga and gave a dunk.Leading too much, the Clippers' substitutes completely let go.Rookies like to play with the wind, and it just so happens that Barea and Thornton are also wind players.Moreover, the Clippers players are still working hard to defend, and the competition in the team is fierce. They all want to express themselves in a limited time. Only by playing well can they get more playing time.

Under multiple factors, the opening game showed a one-sided situation, and the score became bigger and bigger.

Before the game, Artest boasted that this game would prevent Ye Feng and help the Lakers beat the Clippers.Kobe also said that even without Pau Gasol, the Lakers can win the game, and now the pre-game interview has become a joke.

With 2 and a half minutes left, Kobe stood up from the bench with a frown. He didn't want to play, but walked to the player channel and left the field early.

For the Lakers bench players, the fourth quarter was a bit long, 134 to 93, and the Clippers won by 41 points.The Lakers only scored 18 points in the final quarter.

The 41 points created the largest difference in the Clippers' win since the two teams' historical confrontation.The Clippers have always been the target of being slaughtered, and this is the first time to clean up the Lakers.

快船全队7人得分上双。叶锋出场30分钟，砍下22分5篮板4助攻1抢断3盖帽，获得了本场最佳球员称号。乐福得到16分13篮板。史密斯得到了18分5篮板2助攻3盖帽，巴里亚12分，库里18分，麦基10分7篮板2盖帽，索顿末节只打了10分钟就砍下14分。

Veteran Kidd scored only 5 points, but grabbed 6 rebounds and sent a game-high 11 assists.

科比20投8中，三分球6中2，罚球10中10，得到28分7篮板5助攻1抢断。阿泰斯特13投4中，得到11分7篮板3助攻，被叶锋完爆。

Kobe left the field early because he couldn't bear to see the Clippers after winning the game, he didn't want to hear the home audience cheer for the Clippers, and he didn't want to shake hands with Ye Feng after the game.

The combat effectiveness shown by the Clippers is beyond imagination.Both draft picks were strong.Thornton fell to the second round, why can't the Lakers find such a player.The Clippers formed a super team with little effort and almost no effort.The Lakers spent a lot of money on a group of substitutes who didn't dare to shoot.

In fact, the fact that the Lakers' role players dare not shoot has a lot to do with media publicity.The media always likes to boast that Kobe led the team independently without helpers. These role players also recognized them and passed them on to Kobe at critical moments. Anyway, fans all over the world know that they can't help.

After the game, Barkley criticized Kobe for leaving early, which he believed was a very bad sign for a team.But Lakers coach Phil Jackson stood on the same front as Kobe this time.
When interviewed at the press conference, unlike before, Jackson, who has always been rigorous, did not blame Kobe for his irrational behavior as a team leader. Instead, he believed that Kobe had not been understood by outsiders. And support Kobe's attitude.

Jackson said: "I think he was very emotional at the time. He probably realized the fact that he had to be the one who led the team to turn the situation around. He wanted to stick to the end on the court, but I didn't replace him. To think he left the game at that time is a very dark and angry psychological expression."

No matter what Jackson said, in the face of the failure of the Lakers, the topic of whether Kobe will leave has once again emerged.

In the face of reporters' questioning, Kobe took a "no comment" attitude. At such a time, all he can do is to keep calm as much as possible.He said: "My relationship with my teammates is very good now. When you lose, there are always more people who care about these issues. It's like you become a tyrant immediately. And once you win, immediately Someone will say what a great leader this is."

What Kobe said was right, Ye Feng was greatly praised for his leadership, even though he only scored 22 points.At the press conference, he was surrounded by cameras.

The reporter asked: "You won this game with almost no effort. What do you think is the key to winning by a big score?"

"Who says I don't have to work hard, I'm doing my best to cheer for my teammates off the court." Ye Feng laughed.When people laughed and calmed down, he continued: "The key to winning is the combination of inside and outside. We are playing very well as a team now. Kidd's pass is very good. As long as he runs out of space or has a misalignment, the ball will come back." Immediately in the hand, I don't know how he passed it a few times, he is really a genius. And Curry is so accurate, he played very well in the first quarter today, as long as we are ahead, we will not let the opponent Chasing back. It was a great opener and we're off to a good start for the season."

The reporter asked: "Do you think you can become the MVP of the regular season this season? If the Clippers maintain this momentum, they will definitely achieve an excellent record."

Ye Feng smiled and said: "It depends on the situation, this is the first game. Next, I only want to deal with the Jazz. This time the Devils are at home in Salt Lake City. I'm afraid the Devils won't be able to get up."

The reporter asked Ye Feng to comment on his and Kobe's performance. "You blocked Kobe's shot again in this game. Someone commented on the Internet that you are a real 'Kobe Terminator'. What do you think?"

Ye Feng rubbed his nose and said with a smile: "I don't have any opinion. Kidd told me that a person should stay on the sidelines. Even if he wins for a while, there will be times when he will fail in the future. Don't talk too much. Don't treat me as a What terminator, I will not say anything, everyone can figure it out, write whatever you want."

To win so many points, Ye Feng was also surprised.This has a lot to do with the abnormal performance of the Lakers. They did not play well in the preseason and did not enter the state.Artest was even worse, just as Ye Feng thought, after leaving the Rockets and having the championship ring, Artest was not as hardworking as before.If he scored consecutive goals last season, Artest would definitely foul severely, and he would not let him play quietly like this.

After the game, the Clippers players packed their luggage and rushed to the airport.Ye Feng didn't go home, he just called Ai Lier and told her not to play too late, go to bed early and pay attention to cover the quilt.Ariel also told him not to hit too hard, to be careful of injury.

The players were very excited, and they chatted without going to sleep immediately after boarding the plane.

Mutombo told McGee to maintain the rhythm of the game, it doesn't matter if he doesn't score on the offensive end, don't rush to shoot.Take an open or misplaced shot and put all your energy into defense.As long as he can do this, he has the hope of becoming the best defensive player in the future, a super blue-collar player.

McGee has a strong desire to attack, but he doesn't have many offensive methods. Before he develops a high-efficiency scoring method, it is correct to take fewer shots.Today he made 6 of 4 shots and made two free throws. He did a great job.

Ye Feng and Kidd sat together.

Kidd said lightly: "Yes, you made progress in this press conference, and at least you didn't provoke Kobe. He is also a veteran who has played for more than 10 years. It is always good to save him some face."

Ye Feng leaned back on the seat and said with a smile: "Jason, don't always doubt my character? I believe that with your IQ, if you were in my position, you would do the same. It took more than a year to develop to where we are now. Last year when we played against the Lakers, we were booed as soon as we played, and 90% of Staples Arena are fans who support the Lakers.”

Kidd smiled and said: "You are right. Apart from competing with Kobe, you have not done anything bad. The core of the 20-year-old team must be a good behind-the-scenes boss. You are an amazing guy. If you want to find It is difficult for young people like you."

"Everyone knows that I mature early." Ye Feng only took it as a compliment.

The two discussed the game against the Jazz again.Ye Feng thought that he could win no matter what he fought, so there was nothing to worry about.The Jazz's restraint of the Clippers is already a thing of the past.

Kidd said: "Give Deron to me, Millsap is yours now, he never seems to have taken advantage of you."

Ye Feng was full of confidence. "Compared with me, he is far behind. I will try to keep him clean. After the pick and roll, you have to guard against his mid-range shot."

Kidd laughed and said, "I've been playing for so many years, do I still need you to teach me defense?"

Even though Ye Feng didn't sarcastically ridicule Kobe, the media still questioned Kobe the next day.And cited his achievements after leaving O'Neill. In 2005, he led the team independently and failed to enter the playoffs; in 2006, he did not shoot in the second half of the Suns playoffs, and gave up the game in anger; in the finals, the Celtics' 24-point lead was reversed, and the sixth game was lost early. Give up the game; The best record in the Western Conference was eliminated by the Black Eight in the first round of the playoffs.

Kobe has experienced all kinds of failures, and his life is really ups and downs, mixed with sorrow and joy.Many people began to feel that Pau Gasol's tactical role in the Lakers was greater than that of Kobe.Without Kobe and Pau Gasol, the Lakers can still function very well.Without Gasol, the Lakers will become a team that can only rely on individual singles to solve problems, and the ball will not work.Odom is good, but still not as good as Gasol.It is also very difficult for Artest to defend Ye Feng alone. It can be said that the Lakers failed to strengthen in the summer.Just played one game in the regular season, it seems that the Lakers have withdrawn from the championship.
