Chapter 871 [Can only look up, feel helpless]

Curry won the Western Conference Player of the Week six times and was named the Western Conference Player of the Month in December.

His younger brother, Seth Curry, followed suit. He got a lot of appearances with the Cavaliers, averaging 6.6 points per game and shooting 45% from three. It turns out that everyone in the Curry family is good at shooting.

In the past few years, Curry's performance was inconsistent, and there were many Curry blacks on the Internet. All day long, they said that he was garbage, a systematic player, scoring by covering, and pure skills were not good... In short, they were dissatisfied with Curry winning the regular season MVP.

This year, the blacks have been silent. The Clippers have abused them thousands of times with their performance. So did Curry. pop.

This season is even more so. At present, it seems that Curry is no longer black, and the only thing that can prevent the Clippers from winning is injury.

More and more people like and admire Curry because he is different from other superstars.

Most of the stars became famous at a young age and were pushed to the position of genius from an early age.Unlike Curry, he couldn't get into a famous university, and he didn't attract much attention when he just entered the league.These have made him a counter-attacker, making him not as high and unreachable as those seniors, and making him as grassroots as a mortal.

In the face of a grassroots counter-attacker, what else can fans hate?What Curry brings to people is not the envy of his talent, but the infinite possibilities after hard work.

Against the Bulls in January, the Clippers' perimeter three-pointer finally misfired, and the Bulls' perimeter trident composed of Jabari Parker, Rose, and Wade performed very well.

The two sides played an overtime, and the Clippers still had the last laugh. There was no outside sharpshooting, and they still had Gasol and Antetokounmpo.

加索尔打了35分钟，14投10中，三分球2中1，罚球5中5，砍下26分11篮板5助攻3盖帽。

阿德托昆博出战36分钟，15投8中，罚球5中2，得到18分7篮板2助攻。

Although Antetokounmpo did not score many points, he made a key goal in the final quarter and scored 6 points in overtime. At the critical moment, he passed to him for a single, and turned around and shot near the penalty area, and it was a two-pointer.His style of play is unreasonable, crushed by pure talent.

Three-point shooting is efficient, but as long as the shooting rate can be maintained at a high rate, two-point shooting is also essential, and the final quarter can often determine the result of the game.

It wasn't until January 1 that the Clippers ended their winning streak, losing to the Kings 16-106 on the road.

Although the sixth man Isiah Thomas joined the Suns in the summer, the Kings also introduced new aids such as Darren Collison, Belinelli, and Casby in the summer.In addition to the core Owen, Cousins, and Ilyasova, the strength is not weak.

The king found old coach George Karl as a coach, who can not only launch fast breaks, but also positional warfare.

In this game, Cousins ​​played well. In the last minute, he made a key corner three-pointer and scored 1 points and 33 rebounds.

The media are all surprised. Cousins ​​has just gone to participate in "The Metamorphosis" recently. His temper has become super good. He didn't yell at teammates, coaches, referees, and he didn't have a wardrobe or chair in the PK locker room. It's a good change. .

Even if they lose, the 39-1 Clippers lead the league, and other teams can only look up.

According to expert analysis, the Clippers are likely to break the record again this season, and there are few teams in the league that can threaten them.

The Eastern Eagles left Carroll, and the flank defense became worse. Even if Nene was introduced, the strength was not as good as last season; the Cavaliers only had James as a big-name star, and it was difficult to support; Griffin was injured continuously and could not lead the team to win. The Heat only ranked Sixth, disappointing; Nets Yao Ming retired, Delong, Joe Johnson declined, not to be feared.

The Western Thunder traded for Kanter, but the offense mainly relies on the second young man; the Mavericks brought in Wesley Matthews, but left Monta Ellis, and Nowitzki's state declined, even if Paul was there, It also cannot threaten the Clippers; the most disappointing thing is the Rockets, who signed Josh Smith and Marcus Thornton with low wages, but their strength is weak, because the two core states of Dwight Howard and Harden have declined. The team is only fifth in the Western Conference.

After counting, the only ones in the league that can compete with the Clippers seem to be the Wizards and the Spurs.

In Yang Rui's previous life, it was this season that the Warriors broke the Bulls' regular-season record, or on the premise that Durant did not join and the starting small forward was Harrison Barnes.

The Warriors failed to break the record later. Some people said that it was because they lost center Andrew Bogut. It is enough to play a center who only averaged 20.7 minutes, 5.4 points, 7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.6 blocks per game like the cornerstone of the team. Weird.

In fact, the Warriors played well at that time, which was directly related to the reduction in the number of strong teams this season. Except for the Spurs, Thunder, and Cavaliers, they could not find any opponents.

The current Clippers are much stronger than the Warriors. Looking at the lineup is really a rogue. The only Warriors stronger than the Clippers is shooting guard Klay Thompson.

On February 2, Middleton was out due to injury. The Clippers lost to the Cavaliers 10-134 on the road. The two sides played two overtimes, and the Cavaliers had the last laugh.

The key player in the Cavaliers' win is not LeBron James, but the short point guard Isiah Thomas, who was traded from the Suns last week. He scored 36 points, 4 rebounds and 11 assists. The data is better than the average state. Curry scored 7 points in overtime.

The Suns sent Thomas to the Cavaliers in exchange for guard Willie Green and a 2016 first-round pick from the Cavaliers.

For the starting point guard Rondo, James has felt helpless and asked the management to trade a point guard. The next step is to try to send Rondo away. Since he is on an expiring contract in the summer, there is some transaction value.

You may not believe it when you say it. After arriving at the Cavaliers, Rondo and James overlapped and often grabbed the ball from James.He's the kind of point guard who has to have the ball to play, and without the ball he's a center.

When Rondomi and Paulo were arguing about who was the first point guard, the ability of the three old Celtics fell directly from Mount Everest to the Great Rift Valley.Separate discussions, Pierce will become a weakened version of Batum, Garnett is a bankrupt version of Aldridge, Ray Allen is a weaker Hamilton.

If the partner is Irving, James can consider giving up some of the ball.But give the ball to Rondo?James is crazy to do this.

In fact, Rondo is not incompatible with the Cavaliers, he is incompatible with any team, unless a team can endure a two-point shooting rate of 4%, a person who can't shoot three-pointers most of the time has the ball in his hand and defends in the air. Pass the ball to find teammates.

Rondo's personal attack must be based on the premise that there are teammates to open up space for him, an open ball may be passed at any time, and the other party dare not mark him with all his strength, otherwise the other party will always put him two meters away, and it will be very sad for him to force a breakthrough.All he did was wait for his teammates to intersperse and run without the ball to cooperate and send the ball over.

Did the Cavaliers find Rondo just in the hope that he would dribble the ball to the frontcourt and pass the ball, then watch the fun and defend the point guard?

Thomas is different. Although he is short in height, he can always help the team on the offensive end.And because he is short and has many fans, he is a very inspirational player in the NBA.

After winning the Clippers one game, James was not happy and participated in the whole press conference with black face.

The Cavaliers currently only rank fourth in the Eastern Conference. Although James is the Eastern Conference leader in the All-Star voting, he has only over 97 votes, far less than 180 million votes. Kobe Bryant, who is on tour, and Curry, who has over 160 million votes, even won. Durant, the third most popular in the West, also has [-] more votes than him.
