The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 302 [Easy 8 consecutive victories! 】

The Clippers beat the Nuggets by 160 points 114 to 46.

It has been a long time since a team scored 160 points in a single game. Although this is not the highest scoring record in a single game in the NBA, the Clippers did not play overtime and averaged 40 points per quarter.Of course, the premise is that the Nuggets' inside line is too bad today, and there is no inside line at all in the fourth quarter...

叶锋30分钟就砍下了全场最高41分5篮板8助攻1盖帽。赖特状态也好的惊人，得到了33分5篮板3助攻，打出了自己进入NBA以来最漂亮的一场比赛。

Eight players from the Clippers scored in double figures, and Thornton, Curry, O'Neal, Gortat, Smith, and Love also all performed well.

Ye Feng was very low-key at the press conference. He said: "This is not a normal Nuggets team today. They did not perform at their level. The absence of Nene and Martin is the main reason why we can score so many points. This is a game. Great game, but nothing to be proud of."

Thibodeau singled out Wright and Gortat. "Wright played like an All-Star, but he still needs to prove himself with a stable state. Gortat's low attack today is very beautiful, which is also unexpected."

Gortat performed well, and Chinese reporters were very concerned about Yi Jianlian's appearance.In the World Championships, Yi Jianlian played beautiful statistics. Chinese fans thought he would be reused in the Clippers, but unexpectedly, he couldn't even make the team's 12-man roster.

Thibodeau said: "Yi Jianlian is a very good player. I believe he can help the team, but he still needs to prepare before he can integrate into the team. Now he has some problems understanding the Clippers' tactics and can't keep up with the rhythm. He'll get a chance to play in the future."

Gortat's defense is better than Yi Jianlian's, and he can also make a mid-range shot to evacuate the inside line. In a short playing time, Gortat is more efficient. For the time being, Thibodeau will not consider letting Yi Jianlian play.

Chinese reporters also asked Ye Feng to comment on Yi Jianlian. Ye Feng admitted that his psychological quality still needs to be strengthened. This topic has been discussed for two years, and it is nothing new. Chinese reporters can also accept this answer.

Another reporter asked: "Ye, will you strive for the scoring title this season?"

Ye Feng smiled and said: "Yes, I will try my best to score. My teammates have a good touch and have an advantage in the matchup. I will also be willing to pass the ball to them. It mainly depends on the opponent's situation."

A big victory greatly boosted the morale of the team.

The next day, in addition to reporting the results of each game, the news also compared the Heat and the Clippers.Experts are more optimistic about the Clippers.Although the Heat's starting lineup is the best in the league, they are not very strong inside. They may suffer a disadvantage when they encounter a team that is good at playing low offense, while the Clippers can play all tactics.

The Heat are also very aware of this situation, and began to consider what methods to use to reinforce it.

On the 7th, the Clippers played back-to-back against the Utah Jazz.

It was easy to win the last game, the main players did not consume too much energy, and the players were full of confidence.The Jazz's record of 3 wins and 2 losses this season can only be considered average.

The addition of Al Jefferson has improved the inside strength, but Mehmet Okur was injured again and will not be able to return until the end of the regular season.So Jefferson went to the center position, and the power forward was Paul Millsap.Both are big men who lack height and are strong.

This season, the Jazz also introduced defensive champion Raja Bell to make up for the vacancy left by Ronnie Brewer. With the addition of "AK47" Kirilenko and star point guard Deron Williams, the strength is not bad. not weak.It's a pity that the substitute still didn't have a good reinforcement. They only signed Jeremy Evans, a rookie with excellent bounce, and small forward Gordon Hayward.

To deal with the Jazz, the Clippers changed again, with Love and McGee partnering inside, Smith as small forward, Ye Feng as shooting guard, and point guard Kidd.

Bell's defense is good, but from the outside, he is very thin, how can he resist Ye Feng?Smith also started, adding to the impact at the 3 position.In this way, if Millsap were to defend Ye Feng, Love would have to be defended by Bell or Kirilenko after being misplaced and pulled to the outside, neither of them physically strong enough.

Facts have proved that Thibodeau's plan was completely successful. Love scored 9 points in the first quarter, and Smith and Ye Feng also played well.

The second team Curry, Thornton, Barnes, Gortat, and O'Neal played a beautiful combination of inside and outside, which also made the Jazz's substitutes unable to fight back.

爵士也给快船制造了一些麻烦，艾尔.杰弗森18分10助攻3篮板3盖帽；米尔萨普25分11篮板2助攻；德隆.威廉姆斯30分8篮板7助攻2抢断，打爆了基德。这赛季，基德的数据又下降了，出场时间也缩短到了28分钟，场均贡献5分4篮板5.5助攻。

However, the Clippers' offense was too sharp, and the Jazz couldn't defend it, especially in the second quarter when O'Neal beat Elson and Feschenko too easily. The Clippers won the game 123 to 109.

On November 11, the Clippers faced the Sherlock Hornets.

After Paul came back, the Hornets became a strong team again, with 4 wins and 2 losses in the new season, but their lineup still has a lot of problems.This season, the butterfly effect caused by Ye Feng became more and more obvious.

In his previous life, the Hornets, Nets, Pacers, and Rockets made a four-way deal.

The Houston Rockets sent Ariza to the Hornets, and the Hornets sent guard Collison and veteran James Posey to the Pacers.The Pacers sent Troy Murphy to the New Jersey Nets, and the Nets sent Courtney Lee to the Rockets.

But now, the Nets have introduced Luis Scola, DeAndre Jordan, and Chuck Hayes, three insiders, plus Brook Lopez and Chris Humphries from the previous team, and there are already five. Inside, Murphy is no longer needed.It's better than a deal not done.

So the Hornets failed to get Ariza to strengthen and seal the line. They only introduced Joe Alexander, Jared Bayless, Italian Belinelli from the original Raptors, Willie Green from the 76ers, and DJ from the Lakers. . Mbenga.

The starting lineup of the trio alone cannot beat the Clippers. James Posey, who is in serious decline, has entered the starting lineup of the Hornets. Stojakovic has been abolished, and the Hornets have to pay him as a superstar salary.The shooting guard is Belinelli's starter, who has no height and no confrontation with someone who can only shoot.

This summer, Paul expressed his desire to leave the New Orleans Hornets.

Many experts believe that Paul should not follow the lead of LeBron James and leave the Hornets easily, which would be a great harm to the NBA.

Experts say that during this offseason, many big-name players have left their original teams.James left the Cleveland Cavaliers, Chris Bosh left the Toronto Raptors, Amare Stoudemire left the Phoenix Suns, and Carmelo Anthony appears to be leaving the Denver Nuggets.This seems to have become the main theme of the NBA. All players are completing the migration from small cities to big cities, and they all hope to fight hand in hand with other superstars.

Today's NBA is leaning towards a certain trend. It seems that the league has formed an era that requires large-scale transactions at any time, and any heavyweight transaction can happen at any time.And what is the final result?The rich get richer because of it, while the rest of the team suffers from it.For example, if Paul joins New York, cities such as Cleveland, Toronto and New Orleans will all be abandoned by the NBA. Their lineup has no box office stars.If the NBA's 30-team competition for the championship eventually turns into a seven-star hegemony, the remaining 23 teams are useless.These 23 teams will struggle to sell tickets in their cities, and the results will be dire.

But Paul really can't stand the Hornets anymore, the team's current operating conditions are very poor.Because the Hornets owner George Sheehan is suffering from prostate cancer, he intends to sell the team's shares, but a year has passed, and no owner is willing to take over.And now there is news that NBA officials are considering buying the Hornets.

This approach is undoubtedly borrowed from the practice of Major League Baseball, which bought the Montreal Expo team in 2005 and temporarily kept it in the original city of Washington until someone took it over.Based on this consideration, the NBA intends to buy the team first so that the Hornets can continue to stay in New Orleans.Soon after, Paul and his Hornets will become the first team in the history of the league to be officially controlled by the NBA. How can it be possible to win the championship in such a team?Will NBA officials help them introduce big-name players?That is impossible.

The Hornets are close to being rebuilt, and there is not much fighting spirit left. Maybe they can make it to the playoffs this season relying on the efforts of Paul, West, and Okafor, but they will not go further.

The game only played three quarters, and the Hornets fell behind by a large score and gave up the game.The Clippers scored 119 points in a 92-27 victory.

Posey is about to retire, and his defense is not as good as before. Ye Feng easily knocked him out, scoring 31 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.The Hornets have nothing to do with him.

Paul was also blocked in this game, scoring only 15 points, 7 assists and 3 steals. Curry started this game, and his defensive effect on Paul was better than veteran Kidd.

The Clippers have won 8 consecutive victories and are advancing all the way.The next game is still away, on November 11 against the San Antonio Spurs on Singles' Day.

In the past two seasons, the Clippers had the upper hand against the Spurs, because the Spurs were not fast enough, the core was a veteran, and the substitute players lacked impact. They could use their speed advantage to break down the opponent's defense. Now it is different. During the season, the Spurs introduced many newcomers through trades and drafts.

Experts are also not optimistic about the Spurs. They think their core is old. After losing Bruce Bowen, their defensive ability has also declined. After the start of the new season, the state of the Spurs is somewhat beyond people's expectations. Now they have 6 wins and 1 loss , Ranked second in the West, second only to the Clippers.

Thibodeau warned the players to cheer up and not underestimate the Spurs. This will not be an easy game.
