I have a lot of skills in the NBA

Chapter 196 Visiting Space City!Against Sao Paulo! !

After returning from New Orleans, the team rested for two days, and then flew to Houston again for the second away game of the season, challenging the Rockets.

BJ time, October 10th, at eight o'clock in the morning.

Houston, Toyota Center.

The Los Angeles Clippers challenge the Houston Rockets away.

The Rockets were No. 34 in the regular season in the Western Conference last season, with a best record of 7 wins and [-] losses at home.

It stands to reason that this game is very difficult for the Clippers playing away.

However, so far this season, the Rockets have a record of 1 win and 3 losses at the beginning of the season. The performance of these games can only be described as mediocre! !
The Rockets are currently ranked tenth in the Western Conference.

However, the majority of fans still believe that under the leadership of Harden and Paul, the Rockets are still the biggest favorites for the championship this season.

Despite the team's poor start, this team has many talented stars.

The old demon Chris Paul, the bearded James Harden, and the cake king Clint Capela are the Big Three of the Rockets.

There are also a lot of good players, such as the round-faced Deng Gordon, the tough guy PJ Tucker, the nine-fingered king Green, and the peak-level McAway...

Clippers head coach Mike D'Antoni sounded confident in his pregame press conference.

"We're going to beat the Clippers at the Toyota Center, and tonight I believe this victory is destined to belong to our Rockets."

"We have many talented players. Although the Clippers are in a hot state recently, I believe that under the leadership of Chris, our players have the ability to beat the Clippers."

"About Yang? I have watched the video replays of his games in detail. To be honest, he is indeed a talented and talented player. His scoring ability is super, and his passing is also very superb. But we also have the league's best guards in the lineup."

"I believe that in tonight's game, Chris will definitely teach this Asian defender a good lesson."

Obviously, D'Antoni thought from the bottom of his heart that Paul was better than Li Yang by more than one grade.

Currently on the assist list, Westbrook ranks first with 11.8 assists, Li Yang is behind the Turtle with an average of 11.6 assists per game, and Paul has only 10 assists, ranking behind Li Yang...

This game will be a battle between Li Yang and Chris Paul for the best guard.

Paul and the Rockets attach great importance to the game against the Clippers.

This season, the Clippers have transformed into an invincible team with a direct showdown. They won four consecutive victories at the beginning of the season.

The last time the Rockets were a guest at the Staples Center Arena, Paul took a break, Harden fought bloody to the last moment, and still failed to bring a victory, even though the Clippers won the Rockets. It is not easy.

In this game, Harden took a break, Paul led the team alone, and led a group of Rockets to fight against the Clippers headed by Li Yang. The battle between point guards had intensified before the game.

So on the night of the game, the Staples Center Arena can be said to be full of seats!
The battle between the old and the new strongest point guards has never lacked something to watch, so tens of thousands of fans came to the Toyota Center, hoping to enjoy a wonderful game tonight.

The reporter randomly interviewed several fans around the Toyota Center Arena and asked them their views on the game. Most of the fans believed that Harden would take a break in this game and the Clippers would win!
"The Rockets without the beards can't stop the Clippers!!"

"Although I am a Rockets fan, I know very well that in terms of absolute strength, the Clippers are still stronger!"

"That Asian guy is going to blow Chris up on both ends!!"

"The Clippers are currently ranked No. [-] in the West, while the Rockets are No. [-]. The rankings already speak for themselves."

"Winning this game depends on whether Li Yang wears the Clippers jersey or the Rockets jersey."

Inside the court, Clippers players and Rockets players have entered the venue to warm up for shooting.

The Toyota Center arena is a little worse than the Clippers' home stadium, the Staples Center, but it still has its own characteristics after continuous upgrades. Li Yang looked at everything in the arena curiously.

"Yang?" Suddenly someone called Li Yang from behind.

"Hey, Chris!!"

After returning from time travel, Li Yang saw Paul for the first time. The last time he played at home, because Paul didn't go out with the team on a rest, he couldn't see him.

In his previous life, his impression of Paul was basically that he was very smart and strategizing, and at the same time, the opponent was the previous Clippers captain, so Li Yang walked over to say hello to him out of courtesy.

"Rookie, you have performed very well in these few games, but I will not be polite tonight." Paul said coldly.

Li Yang felt a little surprised when he heard Paul talking harshly to him, but after thinking about it carefully, he understood what was going on, and then put away his smile, the other party was not kind.

St. Paul is St. Paul, a little small in size, and speaks with a gun.

"I won't be polite, I will try my best to blow you up." The other party has spoken harshly, what else can I do, but I can't take care of myself! !

Hearing that Li Yang wanted to blow him up, Paul smiled: "Hey, rookie, if your fans know that you are going to face Paul and threaten to blow him up, they will definitely think you are crazy."

"You've got to fight for Rookie of the Year right now."

"Of course, even if you win it, you haven't won the assists and steals titles yet. I have won 5 steals, 4 assists, and I was selected to the best defensive team 4 times. You have nothing yet."

Although it was the first time they met, Li Yang saw Paul's unceremonious ridicule, and immediately became angry and began to use a big killer.

"I haven't won it yet, so have you ever won a championship?
"I've also won two Olympic gold medals!!" Paul frowned slightly, and said to himself.

"What I'm talking about is have you led the team to the finals??" Li Yang came back and said that.

"I also took..."

"Don't talk about those useless things, I'll just ask you, have you ever led a team to the finals?"

"Although I didn't lead the team to the Finals, we reached the Western Conference Finals last season!!"

"Then it's gone, hehe~~" Li Yang looked at Sao Paulo who was gnashing his teeth with a sneer.

"Rookie, what do you mean by that?"

"Literally, experience it yourself!!"

Paul was speechless, he didn't expect that Li Yang's trash talk was so fierce, he was simply a king of talking.

withdrew...

Paul didn't intend to continue flirting with this sharp-tongued rookie, so he turned around and returned to the Rockets' bench in despair.

Paul did not underestimate Li Yang just because he was a rookie.

In fact, there is a reason for Paul to lash out at Li Yang so fiercely.

Before the game, ESPN actually released a news about "Rookie Paul VS rookie Li Yang, Paul lost in all aspects", which greatly stimulated Sao Paulo.

Li Yang averaged 43+ per game in four games. ESPN believes that if Li Yang continues this performance, his rookie season will be better than that of Paul, who is also a point guard.

This made Paul remember Li Yang as a rookie, and it also aroused Sao Paulo's competitive spirit.

Paul is a marshal hidden behind his back. Leaving aside the influence of his honor, his ability is still the top superstar in the league!
Paul's competitive spirit is definitely one of the best in the league, and Paul's attitude towards the game is definitely very serious.

"Ding dong, master, you're on a mission!!"

"Hehe, has the style of the system been changed? There is also a loli voice!!"

Li Yang smiled and clicked on the task bar.

[Mission objective: The number of assists in this field surpasses that of Chris Paul. 】

[Task Reward: Passing Attribute Points +5]

The objectives and rewards of this mission are somewhat different from the previous hidden mission.

The previous mission objectives were more about specific values, but this mission is obviously more passive.

After all, the initiative is no longer in his own hands, but depends on Paul's assists in this field.

If Paul suddenly goes berserk tonight and gets 15 assists in a single game, then Li Yang must get at least 16 assists to complete the task.

At the same time, the task reward is no longer the previous free attribute points, but an increase in specific attribute values.

Obviously, system tasks gradually became more difficult as the regular season progressed.

For Li Yang, he must play a dominant performance in the game, especially in assists over Chris Paul.
