Chapter 757 [Eleven consecutive victories, after Thanksgiving]

On November 11, the Clippers beat the Spurs 7-106 at home under the premise of an incomplete lineup.

Yang Rui gave Curry four days off. He will miss this and back-to-back games against the Trail Blazers. Combination guard Barbosa has entered the 12-man roster.

The Spurs are missing Danny Green as a shooting guard, and the entire offense and defense system is in trouble.Ginobili is still on the bench, and the No. 2 starter, whether it is veteran Stephen Jackson or rookie Evan Fournier, has weaknesses.

Jackson has a lot of experience, and his shooting accuracy has worsened year after year. He can't open space when he plays.

Fournier's playing style is similar to that of Klay Thompson, a technical wing with offensive instincts and mediocre athleticism.He can handle the ball and shoot [-]-pointers, rarely hits mid-range, and has the flexibility to guard point guards and struggle against strong wings.He's not a qualified starter until his defense improves.

Kawhi Leonard's statistics have improved slightly from last season, and he is still a blue-collar perimeter player. He can't help the team too much on offense.

The Spurs had a good defense and poor offense, with only three scoring in double figures.

得分最多的加里-尼尔7投4中，三分球5投3中，罚球1中1，得到12分2助攻；邓肯10分6篮板3助攻；吉诺比利得到11分2助攻。

Tony Parker was trapped in the zone defense, made 7 of 2 shots, had only 4 points and 6 assists, and had 4 turnovers.

In the past few seasons, Parker has reached the peak of his career, and the data is very beautiful, but his weakness has always existed. He relies too much on breakthroughs and is not good at long shots.Once the opponent blocks the penalty area, Parker is not easy to play.

Playing the Blazers back-to-back with the Clippers is just playing, and they won 113-90 easily.

Without Curry, the Clippers still have a number of excellent three-point shooters. Marginal guard Barbosa played 18 minutes and scored 13 points and 2 assists, and made 5 of 3 three-pointers.

On the 11th, the Clippers played against the Eagles at home, and Curry also returned from his honeymoon.

Without Joe Johnson, the Eagles have been reduced to underdogs. The core is the power forward Josh Smith, who defends the strong and the weak, and the point guard Jeff Teague is at the top.Korver, who should have been an important three-pointer in the Eagles, is currently in the Clippers.And Al Horford, who was supposed to be the inside axis, is now the Bucks.

The game was really abusive. The Eagles exchanged the Eagle King for several role players, and they couldn't prevent the Clippers' offense at all.And these lack of characteristics of the team's players can not break the Clippers' defense.

The only Eagles player Yang Rui cares about is center Zaza Pachulia, worried that this product will be a trick.Now Pachulia is still very honest, and he didn't want to hurt anyone throughout the game, and he won't rush out to step on defense, even if the Eagles are behind by a big score.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Pachulia became famous because of the 17 playoffs that injured Kawhi Leonard, and then the Spurs were swept by the Warriors.Before joining the Warriors, Pachulia didn't have a dirty defensive record.

119 to 75, the Clippers won by 44 points. The Clippers were almost always on the bench in the second half, otherwise the Eagles would definitely lose worse than the Lakers, and would create the largest single-game point difference record this season.

After that, the Clippers went on a winning streak, with 11 wins and 14 loss at the end of November.Packed up the thick eyebrows, and Jefferson and so on. As long as NBA players have the ball, they can get good data. Leading the team to win is the biggest indicator to judge the strength of a player.The West's best player of the month Harden beat Paul to be elected, and broke out in the Rockets.

On the 14th, the Clippers beat the Heat 124-83 at home.

The Heat are like the Cavaliers who lost James in Yang Rui's previous life, and Tristan Thompson and Dion Waiters joined forces in Miami.There are also a group of people from all over the world such as Randy Foye, Norris Cole, Karl Landry, Richard Jefferson and so on outside the team.

Now this Heat, they don't know who is the core of the team, and they will definitely go forward to the top pick this season.The worst thing is that Dion Waiters is a high-level rookie who is not worth training. His template is Wade, and his offensive and defensive efficiency is much lower than that of Wade.

On the 17th, the Clippers' opponent, the Bulls, was also an underdog. Star point guard Derrick Rose suffered a severe injury to the cruciate ligament in his left knee and was reimbursed for the season. Luoer Deng became the team leader as soon as he joined the Bulls, and his average per game increased to 16.5 points and 7.2 Rebounds and 3 assists.

Rose has never won the regular season MVP in his life, and he is still reimbursed for serious injuries. It can be seen that this is really not a question of character.And this is Rose's second serious injury, once the right knee, and now the left knee.

Rose has been in the league for a few years, winning the love of fans with his destructive style of play, and the Windy City was once a rose.But at the same time, fans are always worried about him, how long can Ross's "seven wounded fist"-like play last?

Westbrook is smarter than Rose. When they entered the league, the two were similar. He changed his style of play, increased the number of pull-up jumpers, and reduced the attack on the basket.Ross's protective gear on his knees is getting heavier and heavier, and his style of play never changes.

On the 19th, the Clippers defeated the Spurs again on the road, starting with a 10-game winning streak.

This time, the media and fans are not calm again.Everyone knows that the Clippers are very strong, but they did not expect to be so strong. Almost everyone who hits them is the main team after three quarters, and they have hardly encountered any threats.

Griffin, who played the most minutes for the Clippers, also played only 31.3 minutes, scoring 18 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game. Also 55.6%.

When good players get together, the data is generally not too beautiful, but the efficiency will be improved, because the opponent can't always double-team someone, and they will get more easy singles opportunities.

The other players all played within 30 minutes, making it difficult to tell who was the starter and who was the substitute.In these ten games, the backup lineup composed of Curry, Battier, Korver, Tony Allen, Parsons, Faried and others often played the opponent's starting lineup.

On the 21st, the day before Thanksgiving, against the Thunder, Paul, Griffin and Guy finally played the fourth quarter.

The Thunder's two young masters rallied together, and Kevin Martin completed the task of bringing a substitute very well. Even Ibaka played at a super level, hitting a three-pointer, several mid-range shots, and scored 20 points.

The Thunder took the lead at the start and led by 5 points with 11 minutes left. Unfortunately, they couldn't hold out in the end. There were too few rotation players in the team, and the second young man was too physically exhausted to run.The Thunder didn't score in 3 minutes and were beaten 13-0 by the Clippers.Although Durant's mid-range shot dragged the game into overtime, the Clippers eventually reversed and won 122 to 117, winning 11 consecutive victories.

The news after the game said that the Clippers not only have outstanding stars, tacit cooperation, but also have a strong desire to win and amazing tenacity. This season, they have the ability to impact the regular season record.

On the Internet, fans discussed very enthusiastically. Yang Rui led the Raptors and the Lakers to create a record before. If he leads the Clippers to break the Lakers record, his achievements are enough to make everyone look up.

There are still many Clippers fans who expect the Clippers to break the regular season winning streak. On the 23rd, the Clippers will challenge the Nets, which are currently ranked first in the East. As long as they defeat the Nets, the schedule behind the Clippers will be easier, for sure A long winning streak.

The team was on holiday on Thanksgiving, and Yang Rui also discussed tactics with the assistants online in the morning and studied the characteristics of the Nets. They all attached great importance to this game.

Previously, the Nets only lost one game to the Wizards in an upset. At present, they have won 7 consecutive victories. They defeated the Cavaliers 105-96 in the game, and their morale is in full swing.

Many experts believe that this season, the Nets have a better chance than the Cavaliers to reach the Finals and have the strength to compete for the championship.
