The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 238 [Makes people happy and makes people worry]

After defeating the Nuggets, the Clippers can breathe a sigh of relief.Two days off, home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves now have a mediocre offense and no defense at all.Apart from Michael Beasley and Al Jefferson, the only player who made some impression was guard Raymond Sessions, who was dug from the Bucks.The Timberwolves' reconstruction failed completely. Rubio was still in Europe, and a group of fringe players were selected in the draft. Within two years, these people will disappear from the league.

There have been some conflicts between Beasley and Jefferson this season.Jefferson was reimbursed last season, and Beasley played well as the top scorer, scoring 14+ points in 20 consecutive games. Once Jefferson came back, he dropped to an average of 15 points per game this season.He is the kind of person who needs to attack with the ball to exert his power. It is impossible for the Timberwolves to give him the ball. Jefferson is the boss.But Jefferson's data also dropped to 17 points and 9.3 rebounds.

If this continues, the Timberwolves will definitely enter the lottery zone. The current record is 1 win and 12 losses, which is the bottom of the league.The Clippers will not be polite to the Timberwolves, and ended the battle cleanly in three quarters, 116 to 79, a big victory by 37 points.

Afterwards, the team eliminated the Thunder and the Pacers, winning 16 consecutive victories.

Pacers Danny Granger missed the game due to injury, and they surrendered without any resistance at home.This game attracted many people to watch, not because the two teams were close in strength, but because the Clippers broke the record after winning the game, breaking the NBA's opening winning streak.

In the 1993-1994 season, Olajuwon, who was at his peak, led the Rockets to a 15-game winning streak. Starting from defeating the Nets on November 1993, 11, the Rockets went smoothly. There are 5 away games, but the Rockets still completed the undefeated miracle.It was not until December 15 of that year that the Rockets lost to the Atlanta Hawks led by Dominique Wilkins. After this loss, Houston once again won 9 consecutive victories, which means that they only lost in the first 12 games. Dropped 3 game, which seemed to be a good start for them, and finally won the NBA championship for the first time in Houston's history that season.

The Clippers' winning streak is not yet over, and their next opponents are not strong.

In an away game against the Pistons on the 28th, the Clippers had a huge score difference of 128 to 84. They did not show mercy to the home team at all. The Pistons had a record of 5 wins and 12 losses, making it difficult to enter the playoffs.In this game, Prince and Hamilton were absent, and the core was Rodney Stuckey and Ben Gordon's outside double shots.While the Clippers were fighting hard on defense, Ye Feng made a strong attack on the offensive end, and completely defeated the "Browless Man" Villanueva, who was transferred in the summer.The man's 16.2 points and 6.7 rebounds last season confuse many people. In fact, as a power forward, his shooting percentage is only 44.7%.Under Ye Feng's defense, he only scored 8 points and 5 rebounds, and suffered two big blocks.

Ben Gordon also quickly degenerated when he arrived in the Pistons. His statistics were only 14 points and 2.7 assists. He became a role player, and he played the 2nd position and had no defense yet.

Stuckey's specialty is to break through to the inside, and he was also blocked by Ye Feng who was defending twice.When Ben Wallace was on the court, Ye Feng dared to defend on the defensive end, just let Wallace go.The Clippers held another "hot pot banquet", and Ye Feng scored 42 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 blocks.

Now every game of the Clippers affects the hearts of the fans, and the fans want to know when they can win.

On November 11, the last game of the month, the Clippers beat the Memphis Grizzlies at home.Their magic weapon is still defense. Westbrook was underestimated by Tony Allen, scoring only 30 points in the game.Against Ye Feng, Gay only scored 8 points.The only guy on the Grizzlies that's acting normal is Zach Randolph.He is known as the biggest "brush" in the league, and his offense is indeed very powerful.

The Clippers have won 18 consecutive victories, winning all in a single month.

Ye Feng was unanimously elected the best player of the month in the Western Conference, won the best player in the Western Conference for four consecutive weeks, and beat LeBron James to be selected as the best player in the league for a week.

LeBron won the Eastern Conference Player of the Week three times and the Eastern Conference Player of the Month, losing only one week to Wade.After the Cavaliers introduced Baron Davis and O'Neal, their internal and external strengths have improved, and they have only lost 3 games so far.He and Ye Feng competed for personal honor.

Entering December, the Clippers defeated the Houston Rockets at home on the 12rd, and then defeated the Indiana Pacers at home on the 3th, extending their winning percentage to 6 games.As long as they win another game, they will tie the Houston Rockets' winning streak created in the 20-2007 season.

Because of Ye Feng's rebirth, history has also undergone some changes. The Rockets, which should have won 22 consecutive victories, lost to the Lakers in the 22nd game that year, and only won 21 wins.

Afterwards, the Clippers' two opponents are the Orlando Magic at home and the San Antonio Spurs at home. They are both strong teams, but everyone in the Clippers has the confidence to beat their opponents and continue the winning streak.

The Clippers suffered from injuries last season, but this time they played 20 games. Only Barnes missed 5 games due to a muscle strain.

They played so easily that nothing seemed to stop them.Against the Rockets, Chuck Hayes entered the roster and scored a double-double of 11 points and 14 rebounds. He is already the most marginal player of the Clippers and can also play a role.

In an interview, Ye Feng said: "We have no pride or arrogance. What we have is confidence. Every night, we know that we can win."
The Clippers' winning streak is approaching the NBA historical record, and the Nets are also marching towards a record.

Unfortunately, what they created was an 18-game losing streak.With Carter gone and Harris injured, they don't know how to win at all.The Nets' defense has always been loose and loose, looking like they are at the mercy of others.Fans watching the game is like watching a joke. Last season, the NBA had a promotional video titled "A Miracle Happens Here". At the home court of the Nets, fans put up a placard saying "0-18 Happened Here". In satirizing the team, how hard it is to win.

The team's poor performance has already left the Nets' home IZOD Center empty.In order to keep the stands from being too empty, the Nets' ticket prices have been lowered and lowered. Tickets that originally cost $20 are now selling for $2.99, while tickets that cost $25 are now $8. You can see the movie "8" in New Jersey for $2012.But even with ticket prices so low, the Nets still can't attract fans.Of course, part of the reason is that the team's loss hurt the hearts of the fans, but there is another very important factor. The relocation of the Nets' home court is a certainty, and they will take over Brooklyn.

The Chinese player Yi Jianlian also suffered a defeat, which is a serious blow to the players' psychology, especially for young players.His misfortune is that when he entered the league, he ran into the Bucks with a guard who shot wildly. When he arrived at the Nets, he encountered Carter and Harris. cast.Alston is more ecstasy, averaging 9.7 points per game and shooting 34%.

Fortunately, on December 12, the Nets finally defeated the Charlotte Bobcats at home 5 to 97, ending their losing streak.The Bobcats acted as the savior of the Nets. If the Nets do not win this game, their opponents will be strong and they may lose 91 games in a row.

The Bobcats sent guard Raja Bell and forward Radmanovic to the Golden State Warriors late last month for star swingman Stephen Jakes and guard Acie Law.The positive effect after the transaction has not yet appeared.

Larry Brown did bring something to this team, and the team has improved through a series of trades.Gerald Wallace averaged 18 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1 block per game. The data is very eye-catching. He can help the team at both ends of the offense and defense. He is more like a qualified leader. Fighting hard for a playoff spot.They are not yet a strong team.

As soon as Jordan and Brown thought about the bet with Ye Feng, they would panic.

Especially Brown, he felt that he was lame, gave up the chance to win the championship in a big city, and chose a bad team.

Los Angeles has great conditions. There is no football team in the city, and basketball is the most popular sport.The Clippers have already advanced towards the championship this season.What Ye Feng said back then when he invited him out of the mountain at home was fulfilled one by one.At the beginning, Brown felt that Ye Feng's privilege was not a good thing, but now he realized that there is nothing wrong with having such a privileged star in the team.He is a real leader, no one dares to refute him, there will be no serious conflicts in the team, and the team will be more united.Ye Feng is now a top five player in the league, and Gerald Wallace can't be compared with him at all.

The Bobcats are an underdog, and even if they make it to the first round of the playoffs, Brown will get nothing but a high salary.In this comparison, he is very depressed when doing work, and he often yells in anger when the players do not do well.

Jordan was also uncomfortable, he knew the bet was lost.Ye Feng would not call him and ask him to really hold a press conference to say that he admires Ariel, but he also felt a little embarrassed, feeling like he was being slapped in the face.

Now it's not that the Clippers want to surpass the Bobcats, but that Ye Feng may surpass Jordan.Ye Feng's career has been smoother than Jordan's. If he can win 7 championships and establish a dynasty in the Clippers, maybe the evaluation he will receive in the future can really surpass Jordan.

Those who also felt slapped were Lakers general manager Kupchak, head coach Phil Jackson and others.

People always like to compare other teams with the Clippers, and the Lakers in the same city bear the brunt.Speaking of the Lakers' group of high-paid low-energy role players and bad rookies, Kupchak was called an idiot by many people.Paying the league's highest luxury tax in the new season, the Lakers are still overwhelmed by the Clippers. I don't know what other deals can be made. The loss of fans makes Kupchak feel pressured.

And Jackson is also said to be the most overrated coach. He lacks the ability to respond on the spot. The triangle offense is actually to let the inside and outside stars take turns to play singles. A few people outside wait for the opportunity to shoot, and there is not much cooperation.He's useless if he doesn't have a star on his side.

The Lakers only lost three games in the new season, ranking second in the Western Conference, but with the Clippers, the Lakers have given up their position as the most popular team in Los Angeles.
