Chapter 323 [Christmas Battle, Clippers VS Heat]
Chapter 323
Ye Feng and Scarlett had dinner, and there was no rumor about it.../《》/《》》 full text
Not only Alice believes in Ye Feng, but fans in almost the United States and the world believe that he has no problem with his marriage and will not have an affair.
An incidental reporter interviewed and asked Ellie why she was relieved to let beauties like Ye Feng and Scarlett eat alone. Ellie smiled and said, "Because I know him very well, he is the most reliable. There is no more rational person than him. He is not the kind of person who easily makes mistakes. If he decides to do something, it must have been carefully considered and it will not be a bad thing."
Another magazine wrote an article saying that the union between Ye Feng and Ail's Li'er is generally expressed in marriage, trust is the most important thing. Before they knew it, they set an example again.
The NBA regular season continues.
In the Los Angeles derby on February 10, the Clippers beat the Lakers 30 points at home. Kobe performed well and scored 44 points, but he still couldn't win. Artest was beaten by Ye Feng again. This season, Artest averaged only 8.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1.5 steals per game in 30 minutes, becoming the highest paid supporting supporting role.
This game is live broadcast across the United States. After Ye Feng passed Artest to score a dunk, Barkley commented: "Ye Feng passed Artest while walking. Even if he crawled into the sleeping bag like a big bug, he was faster than Artest."
This commentary immediately became a big joke in the league. Artest's fat figure is indeed out of shape in summer, and his shooting percentage is only 40%. Despite his strong body, Artest prefers to shoot three-pointers from the outside, and then most people will hear the "being" sound... Lakers general manager Kupchek now dreams of sending Artest out, whether it is a draft pick or a person whose contract is about to expire.
Artest is not the most depressing thing about the Lakers. The real "uncle" is the new coach Mike Brown. After coaching the Lakers, he used Paul Gasol. In the first two seasons, Gasol had many low-post singles, but now there are almost none. He is more likely to pull to high positions to support Kobe's cover, and shoot after having an open position, giving the low position to Bynum, who returned from injury. Bynum's data has improved, but the team's record is over.
Paul Gasol ranked fourth in the league in efficiency in November, and Kobe's efficiency was above 20, but Brown has always insisted on Kobe as the core and never considered Gasol. Fans all think that Brown is brain-related. If Brown usually goes online and watches forums, he should have tried to change his tactics, but he has not changed anything, just Kobe is single.
The Los Angeles Times raised such a question—what does Brown do? A coach or a talk show actor?
Regardless of winning or losing, Brown said the most in the press conference: "Bryant has strong leadership skills, and sets an example to make the team more united..." Apart from flattery, this person seems to have no idea what to do. In the Cavaliers, LeBron James, and now he depends on Kobe.
On February 12, the Clippers defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 110-98 at home. The Grizzlies played well this season, with five stars starting and substitutes including Sam Young, Wilzer Henry, Darrell Arthur, etc., which caused some trouble for the Clippers.../《》/《》》》
However, the Grizzlies have some problems at the moment. The first is that they do not have a regular center. Zach Randolph plays a guest center, but in fact they are more like power forwards. Griffin plays as the No. 4 position and plays a bit like a small forward.
Second, the relationship between players is not harmonious. Griffin and Ye Feng first entered the league. They had to dunk when they had the opportunity and jumped with all their strength when they grabbed a rebound. The strong style of the game made him very popular. Many people think he is more suitable for the core of the Grizzlies. There are too many people who want to be the boss. Randolph believes that he is the best candidate for the boss; Westbrook feels that he is better than Guy and takes action on the court; on the contrary, Guy, who renews the contract with a high salary, has the lowest key and does not have the motivation to grab the boss. As a result, his number of shots has decreased, and the data has dropped to 16.2 points per game.
In order to fight against foreign countries, the Grizzlies head coach often put Westbrook on the bench to calm down and reuse Conley to control the ball. This season, the Grizzlies will definitely have to make big deals for future development. There are too many offensive players, and it is not a good thing to take action. The effect is not as good as the development model of one person being the core and others assisting others.
Now, Grizzlies manager Chris Wallace is considering sending Randolph and Conley away, changing to a good center to strengthen the inside defense, and adding a better role player. Westbrook averaged 20 points, 4.4 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals per game. He may be selected for the All-Star Game this season. His style of play is gorgeous and is loved by players. If it comes to core, he and Griffin are more suitable.
The locker room conflict is a stumbling block to the team's rise, and the Grizzlies will make a decision before the trading deadline.
On the 13th, the Clippers easily defeated the Orlando Magic back-to-back. The Magic this season was no longer possible. The record was 15 wins and 8 losses and was overtaken by the Nets and fell to fourth place.
Perhaps because the Clippers are too strong, the Heat have formed another Big Three. Dwight Howard is very dissatisfied with the management and feels that there is no hope of staying with the Magic to win the championship. Before the start of the new season, he submitted a deal application to the Magic, not wanting to stay here and waste time. In the summer, the Magic did not successfully sign up, and Jordan Jr. Jr. left in the interior again. Howard had only veterans Marick Allen, Ryan Anderson, and Daniel Orton. The substitutes were not qualified. Anderson is a super softie, who can only use his height to shoot three, and Orton can't do anything.
Howard said that he was willing to join only four teams, namely the Nets, Mavericks, Lakers and Clippers. This time he arrived in Los Angeles. Howard chatted with Ye Feng for a while before the game started and had already started to show goodwill. To talk about how to trade Howard, the Clippers are the most advantageous, because there are many potential inside players in the team, and they can take out chips, and it will not destroy the team's foundation. If the Clippers really formed the lineup of Howard, Ye Feng, Smith, and McGee, there would be four guys who were among the top blocks on the list, can their opponents still shoot?
In this game, the Clippers performed well inside. Howard touted McGee, who scored 12 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks at a press conference. He said: "Mckey's defense has put some pressure on me, and maybe he will become a very dominant player in the future."
This evaluation made McGee feel great. He averaged 28 minutes per game, scored 8 points, 8 rebounds, 2.3 blocks, and had only 0.5 assists. He rarely passed the ball, didn't shoot many times, and shot 56%. This season, he started most of the games and defeated Gotat in the team's competition. He is also the team's blocking champion. Ye Feng currently has only 1.8 blocks per game, and often defended the outside line, which reduced his block count.
Afterwards, the Clippers defeated the 76ers, the Timberwolves, Bulls, Pistons, and Rockets, achieving a 14-game winning streak. Curry has returned from injury, and the Clippers' outside attack power has been enhanced.
It’s Christmas soon again. Every festival, the league will specially arrange several strong teams to compete.
The Knicks vs. Bulls. The showdown between Boozer and Stadamire is a big highlight. The Knicks ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference with 17 wins and 12 losses, and Stern gave them the opportunity to perform on Christmas.
Celtics vs Magic. The Celtics are still competitive this season, ranking second in the Eastern Conference with a record of 22 wins and 6 losses. The Magic suffered a dark period of three consecutive losses. They wanted to seek trade to strengthen the lineup, but they all failed.
In Ye Feng's previous life, the Magic had a big deal with the Suns. Now the Magic did not have Gotat, and the Suns would not be stupid enough to exchange Richardson and Tkoglu for other people who exchanged the Magic. The Suns only need a good inside line. The Magic originally wanted to exchange Rashad Lewis for the Wizards Arenas's trade. In his previous life, the Wizards selected the No. 1 pick Wall, who wanted to rebuild with Wall as the core, so they traded Arenas, the "cancer" that suppressed the newcomers. Now that Wall has gone to the Nets, the Wizards have no young players to rebuild as the core, so they are unwilling to let Arenas, who has returned from injury. Even if they change, they have to change a high pick or useful person back. It is impossible to ask Lewis. Compared with Lewis, Arenas's big contract seems not so bad, although his condition has declined seriously.
So the Magic still worked hard in the lineup last season. It was difficult to achieve success in the interior substitute. Although the Celtics had a good record, they were also not easy to live a while recently. The reason was that Jermaine O'Neal, who was introduced in the summer, averaged only 5 points and 3.7 rebounds per game, and he was not even qualified blue-collar workers. He was not as troubled as Perkins and Rivers. He had a headache. No matter how good the lineup played in the regular season, it was useless. It was difficult to beat the Heat in the playoffs, and it was even more impossible to defeat the Clippers if he entered the finals.
The match between the Western Nuggets vs. Thunder, the two major scorers Durant and Anthony's matchup attracted attention, and the matchup between Billups and Ross's point guard is also a good highlight.
In addition, the highlight of this Christmas battle - the Heat vs. the Clippers.
Ye Feng can't celebrate the festival at home again. The fans are happy. Most of them want to watch the game on site, but it is hard to get a ticket. Now the two strongest teams in the league have met, and no one wants to miss the opportunity.
The Lakers missed the Christmas game, and the Lakers had lost 8 games at this time, not only behind the Clippers, but also surpassed their Spurs' record. The Spurs were in amazing form this season, and they have only lost 4 games so far, ranking second in the Western Conference.
Before the game started, the NBA official forum held a vote, not to guess the winner, but to ask fans which team they hoped to win, the Heat and the Clippers.
83% of fans support the Clippers, and the gap is surprising. Fans do not like the way the Hots team's Big Three teams form teams at their peak in their careers. This season they are already public enemies of the league.
"Yahoo Sports" columnist Reynolds revealed some of the ideas of Heat coach Spoelstra. As the coach of the three giants in the league, Spoelstra said that the team urgently needed chemistry. Regarding the Heat being criticized by the outside world, Spoelstra said that he did not pay attention to it.
During the offseason, Heat President Riley made a big deal to build the three terror giants, which attracted a lot of criticism. In particular, Barkley and Magic boss Smith and head coach Stan Van Gundy attacked some Heat players on different occasions. Barkley bluntly stated that James was "unskilled" and was now going to share the stage with Wade and Bosh. Smith said that he did not expect James to decline his identity. Van Gundy even said that Bosh was a flatterer and followed Wade like a puppy.
For the Heat head coach, this should be some harsh words, but Spoelstra said he didn't care. Now the Heat lead the Eastern Conference, he is more confident. In the face of the interview, he said: "In the league, if there is a chance to sign three superstars, I believe no one will hesitate. Although many people think that we are doing this wrong, for these accusations, I think what is more important is how good we can do. For me, I will definitely not care about other teams' affairs, nor will I comment on some of the situations of other teams. In fact, we don't have more time to pay attention to other people's comments and ideas. The team's record is good now, and this is the key."
This is a star-studded game, with the Big Three fighting Ye Feng. The Heat have lost six games now, because they have won one more game than the Celtics, ranking first in the Eastern Conference. The record cannot be used as a complete basis for their strength. In two games, Wade lost and James was absent in one game.
In this game, the Heat have the strongest lineup. However, the Clippers have injured people. Gott was injured in his right knee and will be absent for three weeks. Yi Jianlian is on the 12-man roster.
Looking at the starting lineup competition, the Clippers are not dominant. The combination of James and Wade makes any team feel frightened. Although they have just formed a team and their cooperation is not very tacit, the two are not easy to defend in singles. Bosh can break through and shoot after pick-and-roll, and there is also OJ Mayo on the bench. This season, Mayo is the favorite candidate for the best sixth man, averaging 16 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game. Although he plays as a substitute, he does not play much time and sometimes plays a guest-playing role in the point guard.
As soon as James left the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers immediately became the bottom-squad team in the league. This alone can prove how strong he is. The Clippers have a lot of pressure to defend this game, and with Wade there, it is not easy to double-team James.
Stars generally don’t want to play on Christmas, this time is an exception. Last season, the Clippers were very sad in their respective teams. Now they want to take revenge. Playing with the joint attention of fans from many countries around the world makes it more meaningful to defeat the Clippers.
The Heat have regarded this game as a preview of the finals. In an interview before the game, James said: "The Clippers have obvious advantages in the West. Our goal this season is to win the championship. If there is no big accident, we may meet in the finals. Today we will do our best."
Wade is confident of winning. "The Clippers are very strong, but we have a way to defend Ye Feng. We will win this game."
In an interview, Ye Feng only said that he was looking forward to this contest and did not talk about the outcome. He did not have the confidence to win or felt that there was nothing to talk about, so he left it to the fans to think about.
Ye Feng dared not speak out for victory lightly. The Heat had a lot of variables. Mayo was better than the one he knew in his previous life. The Clippers also had to do their best in this game!
