Chapter 712 [Victims of the Devil's Season]

On the 16th, the Clippers played against the Nets at home, ending their 10-game winning streak, losing 94 to 99.

Yao Ming and Deron Williams' middle pick-and-roll coordination is very tacit. Favors can attack in the low position and defend the pick-and-roll very well. "Young Marshal" Brad Stevens directly let rookie Jimmy Butler start, relying on With super physical fitness, the flank defense is significantly stronger than last season.

Yao's name is "Eating and sleeping to fight monsters", and Delong is called "Eating and sleeping and beating Paul". This is really not nonsense.

本场德隆砍下了27分3篮板12助攻，保罗只有14分10助攻。

Deron can play good data and win every time he plays against Paul, which is a major feature of the two after they entered the league.Paul only won a couple of times when Deron's team was weak, and the numbers were mediocre.

In Yang Rui's previous life, in the 16-17 season, Deron was injured several times and was close to being scrapped.When he represented the Cavaliers against the Clippers, he played 26 minutes, made 8 of 4 shots, 1 of 1 from three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 11 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.

保罗打了27分钟，8投0中，三分球5投0中，罚球5中5，得到5分4篮板7助攻。

This curse is accurate as if the Chinese men's football team can draw a match, it will never be a draw.

Well, this is not actually a curse. The data shows that, except for Tony Parker, a freak, other short or thin point guards are basically beaten up against Deron.

At his peak, Delong was not afraid of anyone at the No. 1 position, but he died when his athletic ability decreased due to injuries.

In the competition between the inside stars, Yao Ming's style of evacuating the basket made Chandler unable to play his strengths. On the defensive end, Yao Ming also restricted Griffin's strong attack near the penalty area and sent two big caps.

This season, Griffin is still a violent power forward, and his shots near the penalty area account for a large proportion. When he encounters Howard, Yao Ming and others who are good at preventing the penalty area, he will show his weaknesses, and the team training is not good for Chandler. .

本场比赛格里芬拿下19分11篮板4助攻，不过12投仅4中，三分球3中1，罚球12中10，没有在关键时刻帮助到球队。

After the game, some media analysts said Griffin was overrated.

Rookie of the Year, averaging 20+10 per game, slam dunk king, excellent explosiveness, Griffin is indeed quite outstanding in these aspects.

As a team owner, it would be nice to have a player like Griffin, a cash cow that can bring in high box office and high income.

As the coach of the team, Yang Rui also likes him very much. He can improve the morale of the whole team and regulate the emotions of players on the field.However, in the playoffs, Griffin's tactical effect is average, and he is a tasteless person.

The playoffs will infinitely magnify the shortcomings of the players and the ills of the team, and the opposing team will seize it mercilessly and pursue it, endlessly.Even if the first game can't be caught, there is no secret to playing two games, and the playoffs are four wins and promotion.

Lack of the ability to make a final call until Griffin's mid-to-long-range shooting is good.His value lies in the regular season, box office, attention, and contributions, but not the most important.It's too early to compare him to the likes of Duncan, Nowitzki, Garnett, and others in their prime.

Of course, Griffin is a top [-] power forward in the NBA even if he only plays with his body, and few can guard him.It's just that the league bragged about him too much last year and made him into the best first team, which aroused many people's disgust, so the media took advantage of the opportunity of the Clippers' loss to denigrate him.

On the 17th, the Clippers played back-to-back away games against the Jazz, winning 109 to 88 and refusing to lose a losing streak.

After the Jazz trade, in addition to Bogut, the lineup has been changed, the point guard is replaced by Devin Harris, the small forward is Gordon Hayward, and veterans such as Laga Bell and Luke Walton.

Walton has been a marginal person since he left the Lakers. He can find jobs every season, and the teams are wandering, relying on ball intelligence.

The Clippers won easily, but Paul left the game with an injury in the third quarter. He injured his right calf without confrontation and will miss 2-4 weeks.

Paul's injury method is unfortunate, but it is not an exception. Players from each team have been injured one after another, and many of them are big-name stars.

The NBA started after the shutdown, and after the season was shortened, the players were overloaded.Wade, Manu Ginobili, Nowitzki and others have become the victims of this devil season.

Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy said in an interview with American media that the current NBA schedule is extremely unreasonable, not only causing most of the current players to be injured, but also causing some players to have injuries that should not have appeared in basketball players. Illness, torn pectoral muscle, which is the product of high muscle fatigue.

The unlucky guy with a torn pectoral muscle is Bucks center Al Horford, who has been out for the season.

"Players are playing more time and they need to face more games every week. But the league gives them very limited preparation time. When the league is just starting, it is not good for the players to arrange such an intensive schedule. ."

Van Gundy's bashing wasn't in vain.In less than a month since the start of the fight, 126 people have been plagued by large and small injuries.

According to the latest statistics, among the 30 teams in the entire league, except for the Heat and the Suns who have no injuries, the remaining 28 teams are all injured.What many people do before every game is ice in the locker room.

On the 18th, the Clippers defeated the Mavericks 101-79 at home.

The stars of the two sides are absent. Nowitzki has a greater impact on the Mavericks, and the offense has become weak. The top scorer is only center Marc Gasol, and the outside relies on veterans Jason Terry and Delonte West. .

Deshaun Stevens and Barea were poached, and the Mavericks signed Delonte West as a backup. Because there was no "friendship", he was a good role player, averaging Can get 10.3 points.

Without Paul, the Clippers rely on Curry and Neil on the outside to attack.

Kidd's state is not as good as a year, he is not good at chasing and defending pick-and-rolls, and Pau Gasol moves slower and does not switch to the perimeter in time. Because of these two weaknesses, the Mavericks are not good at defending the Clippers' three-pointers.

If Gasol is allowed to rest, the lanky Brandon White will play as a cameo center and partner with Marion on the inside. With mobility, he will not be able to prevent Griffin's strong play.

After winning a championship, the tense nerves of the Mavericks players have been loosened, and the veterans have collectively declined, and they will not be able to play the balance of offense and defense last season.After the start, the Mavericks record 8 wins and 7 losses, is one of the most disappointing teams.

On a day off, the Clippers beat the Timberwolves 20-98 at home on the 91th and achieved a three-game winning streak.

With Beasley injured and sidelined, the Timberwolves, led by Al Jefferson and Pekovic, still led the Clippers by three and a half quarters and almost won.

The Timberwolves centers are two super strong men. Al Jefferson is averaging 20.7 points, 11.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists this season, while shooting 49.7% from the field.He is 208cm tall and weighs 120kg. He receives the ball from low and arches inside. Chandler is not easy to defend.If Chandler is far away, he can still make a mid-range shot.

Jefferson came off the court, and the substitute Pekovic was also of this type. He was 211cm tall and weighed 134kg.

The weakness of the two was defense, so they could not play together. The defensive end controlled the rebound and launched a counterattack, and relied on the chaos to suppress the Clippers.

In the second half of the final quarter, Curry made a big splash, hitting 4 three-pointers in a row, and assisted Korver to make a three-pointer to overtake the score.

At present, Curry is averaging 18.7 points, 4 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game, and his shooting percentage is stable, and he is about to be selected as an All-Star.
