The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 249 [Break the record halfway, re-enter the All-Star]

The Clippers lost two more games ahead of the Feb. 2 All-Star break in Dallas, a road loss to the Celtics and an upset loss to the Bulls.

The Clippers not only lost the game against the Celtics, but also injured Gortat. He bruised his knee. This is a terrible part and he must rest for more than a month.Celtics veteran Rasheed Wallace showed his power and hit 4 and 3 points, giving the Clippers a painful blow.This season, the Clippers lost both home and away games and were swept by the Celtics.The Celtics did grab their shot, which has cast a cloud over the Clippers' championship path this season.Ye Feng knew that the Celtics were likely to enter the finals this season, but they were strong opponents.

The loss to the Bulls was an accident. The Tigers also took a nap, and the Clippers led by up to 17 points in the third quarter. How did they know that in the fourth quarter, everyone suddenly misfired and hit the iron together. The Bulls chased them back and won 2 point.

Even if they lose to the Bulls, no one will underestimate the Clippers. Three days later, they beat the Cavaliers away and completed the season sweep.

There are 30 games left in the regular season, and the Clippers lost 5 games, which is better than the Bulls' half-time record. They are likely to break the NBA's best regular season record of 72 wins and 10 losses.For other teams, it is difficult to lose only 30 games in 4 games.But for the Clippers, it's highly possible.

The game between the Celtics and the Cavaliers, the top two in the East, is over.The Magic lineup was flawed and was easily defeated once.The top 8 teams in the West have not had a good record this season, and the gap has begun to narrow with the East.The Lakers VS Clippers have one game left, and it seems that only the Nuggets and the Suns may block their progress.The strength of the Texas San Antonio Spurs, Mavericks, and Rockets has declined to varying degrees. Jazz Boozer's strength has been greatly damaged, and the Trail Blazers have suffered from injuries.

On the evening of the 12th, TN*T Radio invited Pippen, Barkley, and Kenny Smith to do a talk show together. The core topic was whether the Clippers could surpass the Bulls this season and create the strongest record in history.

Pippen said: "Some miracles are inevitable when many factors come together. Some people may wonder, the Celtics can beat the Clippers twice, why their record is not as good as the Cavaliers?"

Smith said, "Why do you think so?"

Pippen analyzed: "The Celtics lineup only restrains the Clippers. The main players can win with all their strength, but against other teams, they can't always let the main players fight. If 82 regular games are like playing against the Clippers That kind of intensity, I am afraid that the Big Three will be exhausted. The characteristic of the Clippers is the depth of the bench. In 52 regular season games, the average contribution of the Clippers' substitutes is not much inferior to that of the starting five players. This ensures the rotation of the lineup, and everyone can Get enough rest. When playing underdogs, the Clippers starters often sit on the court to watch the game, and their physical strength is guaranteed."

Barkley said: "I agree with this statement. Ye Feng averaged only 35 minutes per game this season is the best proof. The Clippers have pitchers, rebounders, defensive players, and superstars. They can deal with various tactical strategies. Personal ability is not bad, especially Smith, Curry, and Thornton. Even if Ye Feng doesn't feel good that day, if one of these three stands up to score, it can help the Clippers to bite the score. The game was basically won.”

The Clippers have 14 players who can play the game. If no one is injured, two of the talented players like Morrow, Barea, Wright, and Hayes will not be able to make the roster.The Clippers are not afraid of injuries this season, but no one is injured.The injury is not serious, and he will come back after resting for a week or two.Even Tony Allen was healthy and healthy. He averaged only 15 minutes per game. The playing time was too short, and the chance of injury was greatly reduced.Gortat's injury and absence for more than a month is the most unlucky.

The Clippers are very strong, but Pippen believes that the Clippers may be able to break the Bulls' 72-game winning streak, but there is a premise that the league teams are not as strong as before.At that time, the Bulls were star-studded, and their opponents included the teams led by the four major centers, the Supersonics of Payton and Kemp, the Jazz of Malone and Stockton, the Heat of Mourning and Hardaway, etc... The internal competition in that era was very scary. Well, if Ye Feng played low post at that time, even if he had the physical advantage, it would be very difficult for him to win the championship by himself.Love's height and low post defense will be blown to pieces by the four major centers.The young Kidd couldn't get ahead under the pressure of Duncan and O'Neal, and it was impossible for the old Kidd to take advantage of confronting Payton and Stockton.So the Clippers also benefited from their opponents, and they were still a strong team at that time, but it's hard to say what record they can achieve.

Of course, the Bulls also had special reasons at that time.In the previous season, they were dealt with badly by O'Neal's Magic, and they endured humiliation to force out the strongest Bulls next season.

In the end, the three agreed that the Clippers had a high chance of breaking the record this season, and the Bulls with 72 wins back then were stronger.

After watching the news at home and knowing the views of the three, Ariel asked, "Which one do you think is stronger between the Clippers and the Bulls at that time?"

Ye Feng smiled and said, "I don't know, but Jordan's successor is not my opponent. The Lakers can't beat the Clippers this season, and they won't have a chance in the future."

This year is the strongest time for the Lakers. By next year, Kobe will be even weaker, and Artest will basically start to eat and wait to die.The most terrifying thing is the luxury tax that the Lakers have to pay, giving away tens of millions to the league for nothing a year. Unless the twin towers are dismantled, they will be unable to move under the pressure of salary, and cannot make other transactions.The Lakers are now relying on their wealth and wealth to maintain their status as a strong team.

The Lakers still have another choice. As long as they trade Kobe, who has the highest salary, stop signing him with a nearly brain-dead contract with an annual salary of 3000 million. All problems will be solved, but Kobe’s commercial value is immeasurable. Will lose a lot of fans, and Los Angeles will be dominated by the Clippers within 10 years.
After chatting for a while, Ye Feng said with a smile: "This time I'm busy enough during the All-Star Weekend, so I can't play with you in the stands."

Ariel hugged his neck and said, "It's okay, I have an appointment with Paris, and she will go too."

When Hilton was mentioned, Ye Feng curled his lips.Ariel smiled and said, "Are you afraid that she will blow into your ears when she speaks? That's why I asked her to test you on purpose, just to tease you."

In case you can't hold back, it's because you're playing with fire... Ye Feng sighed: "I'm afraid you will be spoiled by her. Forget it, you think I have to trust her after all these years, and she doesn't seem to have any scandals recently. Come."

With Paris Hilton and Ariel as companions, and some acquaintances and Hollywood stars, it will not be boring.

This time Ye Feng is going to Dallas with his teammates.Thornton, Curry, Love, and McGee will participate in the Rookie Challenge.The only one participating in the All-Star Game was Ye Feng himself. He became the most voted All-Star by the fans and put Anthony on the bench. Love and Smith were also good, but the competition in the Western Conference was too fierce and there were too many stars. To be selected for the All-Star Game, their data is too ugly.

The other four starters in the Western Conference are Stoudemire of the Suns. Once O'Neal leaves, he will be prestige again this season.The Spurs' Tim Duncan, dragging his injured leg, led a lineup that gathers less and leaves more, and played good statistics.Kobe Bryant is indispensable, even though Ye Feng from the same city has become the king of votes.There is also Steve Nash of the Suns...he almost became a substitute, until the end he surpassed Tracy McGrady, who hardly played. If the rational fans in the world accounted for the majority, there would be no funny situation of "almost a substitute".

Subs are Deron Williams (Jazz), Pau Gasol (Lakers), Kevin Durant (Thunder), Dirk Nowitzki (Mavericks), Chauncey Billups , Carmelo Anthony (Nuggets), Zach Randolph (Grizzlies), this dude has worked hard for many years, and the data is also very gorgeous, and finally he has achieved a positive result.The Grizzlies are expected to hit the playoffs this season, and Randolph is the core.

Eastern starters: Dwight Howard (Magic), Kevin Garnett (Celtics), LeBron James (Cavs) Dwyane Wade (Heat), Joe Johnson (Hawks).

Joe Johnson was promoted from the bench to the starting lineup, and Allen Iverson was selected by the fans. This year's "Answer" was selected because of his strong popularity accumulated over the past ten years. The data cannot be called an All-Star.He was bizarrely injured before the All-Star Game and announced his absence. As for whether he was really injured or unwilling to play in this way, it is not known.

Substitute: Chris Bosh (Raptors), this buddy vowed to leave the Raptors, and if he stays there, he will be the Frost Dragon...OJ. Mayo (Heat), the best rookie last season, his jersey sales can be ranked Entering the TOP 10 is enough to explain the reason for the selection.Gerald Wallace (Lynx), who made it to the All-Stars by working hard.Chris Kaman (Wizards), there is no general in the East, and Kaman is the vanguard.Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo (Celtics), David Lee (New York Knicks), 20+10 this season, known as the league's number one stat brush.

Rondo, Mayo, Durant, Randolph, Wallace, David Lee and others are all selected as All-Stars for the first time.The Clippers had Ye Feng selected as an All-Star, which seemed unreasonable, but it actually showed that he led the team independently, and David Stern also wanted to promote this point.

In addition, Curry will also participate in the All-Star three-point contest, and McGee is invited to participate in the dunk contest.How to dunk is prepared in advance, all tricks that have never appeared in the dunk contest, and basically won the championship steadily.

The idea of ​​dunking doesn't require too much thinking. Ye Feng contacted Raymond Bobile from France online and asked for some videos.The streetball team had a bunch of lunatic dunkers, and McGee just had to pick a few tricks from them.

After watching the video, McGee sighed that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky.Many movements are too difficult for him to do.To dunk, it is best to be a player with a height of 190-200CM. No matter how tall you are, your movements will not be stretched enough.However, McGee has some moves that no other person on earth can do, only those with super long arms.

In the end, McGee chose two relatively easy ones, and planned to cooperate with Ye Feng in the slam dunk contest, which opened the eyes of the audience.
