shooting guard era

Chapter 34. 36. Los Angeles Clippers on shit
This beam is finished!

After the game, Ye Han couldn't help but spit on Jason Richardson. As a famous dunker, Jason Richardson naturally responded to Ye Han, saying that he would teach Ye Han a lesson next time.

Ye Han replied that he would wait.

Before Ye Han could digest the experience gained from the Warriors game, after the post-match interview with the Warriors, he flew to Los Angeles that night to prepare for the back-to-back games the next day.

This is the first real back-to-back game in the history of the Bobcats, or back-to-back away games.

Hit the Clippers.

Any team of Ye Han can find the fighting spirit to go all out, the reason is nothing but the pick in the draft.

Clippers point guard Sean Livingston is the No. 4 pick this year, but the talented No. [-] pick who is known as a high school magician at two meters and one meter has not played a game so far.

Ye Han was very upset about any team that didn't choose him.

Falling to the second round, it can almost be said that all 29 teams in the league except the Bobcats have given up on him.

The Clippers, since the team was established more than 30 years ago, the number of times it has reached the playoffs can be counted on one hand.The Clippers' stingy owner Donald Sterling was unwilling to spend a penny more for the team, and the team moved to Los Angeles to make money.

The annual salary of the Clippers is at the bottom of the league. Take this year as an example, their salary is only less than 500 million higher than that of the Bobcats, which has just entered the league and has few high-tech players. The so-called signings of the team in the summer are all other teams Pick what's left, or simply find it from the D-League.

The Clippers have been like this for many years, otherwise they would not have just won the No. [-] pick last year, and this year they have the advantage of the No. [-] pick, and the Clippers won the No. [-] pick the year before, and they have always been a lottery team before.

The Clippers are not a bad team, they are really bad!

"Actually, I like Los Angeles very much, but it's a pity they didn't choose me." Ye Han said before the game.

It seems that you don't care, but you actually remember it in your heart.

Both teams in Los Angeles started this year pretty well. Led by the runaway Kobe, the Lakers are currently ranked seventh in the Western Conference with 5 wins and 3 losses. Although the ranking is not very high, Kobe's statistics are extremely brutal. After being irritated by Ye Han's block, The next two games scored more than 40 points, as if they took away Ye Han's skill pack.

However, the better-played and tragic Clippers are 5-2 and ranked fourth in the West without anyone noticing.

I don't know what kind of shit luck Donald Sterling stepped on. This year's players have exploded, and the record ranks fourth in the Western Conference. Only the Suns, Spurs, and Kings have better records than the Clippers.

Quentin Rose, I really didn't know where this small forward and guard full of energy and passion came out of the game. Although he is averaging 7 points and 5 rebounds per game, although he seems to be unimpressive, But he is willing to do anything on the defensive end, working hard, defending last year's No. 11 pick LeBron James in a battle that limited James to only [-] points, helping the Clippers beat the Cavaliers.

There is also small forward Bobby Simmons, a bad team substitute who still made less than 20% of his field goals and less than 7% of his three-pointers last year. The shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage both exceeded [-]%.

But what really led the team forward was their inside twin towers, last year's No. 99 pick and the Bulls' No. [-] pick in [-], Chris Kaman and Elton Brand.

The German Kaman has shown first-class defensive talent this year, averaging 10 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks per game. His scoring ability is not strong, but his defense is exceptionally strong, quite like Ben Wallace.The poor man's version - Wallace... The bankrupt version - Wallace.

Kaman has more than enough defense but not enough offense, but this and his partner Elton Brand make up for Kaman's lack of offense.With an average of 20+10 per game, Brand is still so stable. From his rookie season to now, he has contributed 20+10 every year for so many years.On the defensive end, although the height limit is limited and the single defense ability is limited, the assist defense ability is quite good and very active.

Brand may be the strongest player in the history of the Clippers. One of those players can be removed and become the captain by one of the few Clippers fans.

As for not being selected to Ye Han, seeing how popular the Bobcats team was just after it was established, it is said that some Chinese businessmen have already contacted the Bobcats management to buy advertising seats. Sterling is now regretful. Won't you use this excuse to fire the current general manager again?This is really possible.

The head coach of the Clippers highly praised Ye Han's performance before the game, saying that Ye Han is a talented rookie comparable to last year's No. [-] pick LeBron James.

This made Ye Han a little flattered, and it was the first time a team coach officially praised him.

Speaking of which, the head coach of the Clippers is already familiar to everyone. His name is Mike Dunleavy, and he is the father of the king's third-round pick, the one who cheated the Warriors.

After the Clippers came to Los Angeles, although the exposure was not as high as Sterling imagined at the beginning, at least the people here are not short of money to watch the games. The Clippers play four games with the Lakers a year. It's not the same as the Clippers' home ticket price, the price is almost half, but the Clippers' attendance rate is still very high in the league. Their fans are not many, but they are all loyal.

Can you be unfaithful? A team that loses every day must have a lot of heart to support it all the time.

At 11:12 pm on November 05th, Los Angeles time, the Bobcats' away game against the Clippers officially started.

The lineup for the Bobcats is determined to be small, with Blevin Knight, Ye Han, Kapono, Gerald Wallace, and Okafor.

Compared with the patchwork lineup on the Bobcats side, the Clippers lineup is much more neat.

Point guard Traj Langton, who was undrafted in 03, was signed cheaply by the Clippers. His rookie year data of 4 points and 6 assists per game is impressive. As a substitute, Livingston was injured in a game without playing, but he played very well, averaging 11 points and 8 assists per game, helping the team win four consecutive victories.

Shooting guard Kerry Gittles, the No. 96 pick of the [-] golden generation, a talented shooting guard who relies on excellent explosiveness, speed, and bounce to play. Now he is getting old. He has experienced in his [-]s. Several serious injuries, the waist and knees have been overhauled, and now it is not as good as before. It can be regarded as a false starter. Quentin Rose, who did not substitute him, played a lot of playing time.

Small forward Bobby Simmons, the biggest gainer for the Clippers this year, is bigger than Livingston. He averaged 20 points per game in the first seven games this year and is the team's second scorer.
