The strongest basket king

Chapter 73
There are two main reasons why the Clippers' record did not maintain the strength at the beginning of the season. One is that other teams have gradually become familiar with their routines, and the other is that Billups was injured and reimbursed.

The Clippers have great expectations for this season and have tried their best to adjust the lineup.They still start with two guards, with Randy Foye replacing Billups.

As for the substitute, they got Nick Young through a trade, and signed Kenyon Martin who returned from working overseas.

This can be regarded as the particularity of this season. Some players who went to Europe or Asia to work part-time because of the suspension can be signed at a small price after returning.

The Lakers, who have no salary space, naturally can't get cheap.

Bynum, who took a break, had a particularly strong start, perhaps because he had a sense of crisis.

Kobe's touch is also very good. The two strongest scoring points of the Lakers teamed up to help the team lead strongly.

On the Clippers side, Paul and Griffin did not perform well. Although Caron Butler broke out in a wave of double figures in a single quarter, the score was still suppressed.

The Clippers' bad touch is not just two strong scoring points, but also their bench lineup.

Nick Young has been a little uncomfortable since he came to the Clippers, and this game feels a little bit wrong.

During the rotation, the Clippers let Kenyon Martin top the center position.

The insider who used to have the best physical fitness is now a little old, leaving only a dirty mouth.

"Rookie, you were still crawling on the ground when I dunked. If you dare to dunk in front of me, I will hammer your leg off."

Before the opponent finished speaking, Xiang Chu grabbed an offensive rebound and dunked in front of Kenyon Martin.

"Old guy, what are you talking about, don't you have the strength to speak, I can't hear you clearly."

Xiang Chu is also a player who likes to talk trash. When he was a student, he basically didn't talk. He probably released himself after entering the league and felt very excited to talk to people.

Kenyon Martin swears again, looking like a thug, but Xiang Chu is not afraid at all.

There are many ruthless characters on the league court, but everyone will abide by the most basic rules. This is not playing wild ball. Even if there are various small moves, in the end it is still the ability to speak.

No matter how fiercely the opponent sprays, it is difficult to really do anything. The seniors in the team, such as Artest, have told him a lot about this. Be aware that some people use dirty tricks, but don’t be afraid .

Kenyon Martin, the No. 2000 pick in [-], has suffered a lot in body, and he can't handle Xiang Chu now. The key is that Xiang Chu's magical skills have too much restraint on some insiders.

Griffin went down to rest, and Kenyon Martin switched to the fourth position, and the situation was much better.

Gasol is very stable when he encounters a strong insider, and rarely bursts when he encounters an ordinary insider. When Xiang Chu faces Jordan, it is not so easy to squeeze into a suitable position.

The Clippers relied on Caron Butler in the first half to score 20+.

But the Lakers played more points. Apart from Kobe and Bynum, Xiang Chu also played very well during the rotation period. At the end of the half, the Lakers led by 8 points.

"Good job, lads, but they will definitely counterattack in the second half and we can't let our defense loose."

Mike Brown analyzed the situation in the first half with a tactical board. The Los Angeles Derby Lakers have always had an advantage. This season cannot break the tradition. This is not just a matter of ranking in the playoffs.

As a backward party, the atmosphere in the Clippers' locker room is much more tense.

It wasn't just their Vinnie DeNagro pointing out the problem. Paul also communicated with his teammates with a serious expression. They were all dissatisfied with the team's performance in the first half.

In the third quarter, Kobe and Bynum still felt good, and the Clippers could only hold their hope in the rotation period of just a few minutes.

First of all, it is necessary to contain the biggest impact on the Lakers' bench, so this time Griffin rests first, and Jordan stays on the court to fight.

He dunks at the basket and is good at rebounding. In fact, Xiang Chu is a bit like Jordan now.

During the rookie training camp, some scouts felt that Xiang Chu could become this type in the future, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

Of course, everyone didn't know that if Xiang Chu had the ball under the basket, his offense would definitely be faster than Jordan's.

When Pooh De Nagro asked Jordan to take care of Xiang Chu, Jordan was a little disdainful. If he had those weak insiders in front of him, his statistics would be more beautiful.

Little Jordan has good strength. When the Lakers attacked, he directly confronted him and stretched out his arms to cover Xiang Chu.

"Rookie, you have to understand the gap between the main force and the substitute. If you can deal with some poor people, don't think that you can do anything inside. I will let you be honest."

Both of them were second-round picks, and they were not reused in college because of their rough skills. It took Jordan a few seasons to make it out. How could Xiang Chu be so fast?

Xiang Chu still suffered a little from the physical confrontation, but little Qiaodan became even more proud.

"I feel it. This is the gap. You are lucky. You got the opportunity through social media. Are you playing basketball or playing reality TV?"

Xiang Chu didn't fight back immediately, and the counterattack would only be powerful at the right time.

Other than Jordan, he was cowardly, and his words became more and more ugly.

After a few rounds, Xiang Chu finally caught the ball in the right position.

He half-turned and squeezed in, but Jordan didn't lose his position, and the defense deliberately pressed down a little. He was just a rookie, and the referee wouldn't care.

At this moment, Xiang Chu pulled up suddenly, squeezing Jordan out of the way with a dunk.

"This is impossible!"

Little Jordan was dumbfounded. He obviously felt that Xiang Chu was not as strong as him. He was half-pressing Xiang Chu just now. How could this kid get up? It would be no different for him in this situation, he could get fouled to the sky How could it be possible to dunk directly.

"impossible!"

Everyone on the Clippers' bench couldn't believe it. They were all familiar with Jordan. Although Jordan's offensive skills were rough, he was powerful and explosive. In recent seasons, single defense and assisted defense have grown rapidly.

Not to mention a rookie like Xiang Chu, even those all-star centers in the league, it is impossible to be so strong directly under the defense of Jordan.

Xiang Chu dunked like this, it was like a dream, but it was the truth.

"The mighty overlord!"

In the auditorium, Xiang Chu's fans cheered loudly, holding signs in both Chinese and English fonts, and they were very excited. It was really cool to come to the scene to support their favorite stars.

Strong dunks at the basket, this is the romance of a center.

At the Staples Center, the fans who didn't have a special feeling for Xiang Chu soon couldn't help but think of the invincible figure in this stadium.

Although there is a big difference in appearance between the two, the dunk just now also made people excited.

"The overlord is mighty, the overlord is mighty!"

The surrounding fans were infected by the atmosphere and cheered along with Xiang Chu's fans.
