Chapter three hundred and eighty nine bad things
On December 13, the Clippers created 48 points against the Portland Trail Blazers, which was also the largest score difference in the league this season. The 48-point loss difference was the worst game in the Blazers' history.
The Clippers led the Trail Blazers 43-10 in the first quarter, and 33 points were the first quarter in the history of the Clippers. On December 29, 1989, the Clippers led the Warriors by 25 points in the first quarter, which was the best first quarter the Clippers played in the past 20 years, but today the Clippers expanded this record by a full 8 points.
Moreover, the lead of 33 points in the first quarter and 48 points in the whole game also tied the league's record in the past 20 years. On February 8, 2001, the Timberwolves led the Kings 31 points in the first quarter, which was the closest game to the Clippers' 33 points in a single quarter today.
Ji Guoxiong let go of the big talk after the game, saying that he would help the team win 20 consecutive games, but the Clippers will face a tough battle in the next game, and they will play against the Houston Rockets at home.
The Rockets' core is also a Chinese. The little giant has reached the peak of his career this season. Even if the Rockets have no McGrady this season, as long as Yao Ming stays healthy, they will still be a strong team in the West District.
It seems that he has no McGrady in the Rockets formation just now. This is not to say that he is injured, but to have McGrady already traded by the Rockets.
Tracy McGrady's trading problem is now causing a sensation. The star favored by the Rockets boss is now in a trough of his career. The successive injuries, coupled with the sluggish state and disagreement with his teammates have made Houston fans' voices of turning against him, and the calls for trading McGrady are getting louder.
Among the many versions of the trade, the most popular one now is the Rockets' plan to exchange Stephen Marbury and David Lee with McGrady and Landry for the Knicks. And this deal is indeed attractive from a good point. Although Marbury is a senior and famous cancer, he is now in his last year's contract, so he can clear McGrady's remaining contract after changing it. As for Lee, this young player has a strong impact on the field and is a very worthy player to look forward to. In other words, the Rockets can clear out a high-value contract in this deal in order to prepare for the next summer to seek big-name stars, and also obtain a super potential stock.
Yes, this deal is a real deal rumor that is real and is already at the end of the negotiations. Everyone thought that even if the deal was concluded, it would take a long time to reach a conclusion. However, the Rockets were moving fast enough this time, and the Knicks were still two-six. If the Rockets dared to change, they would dare to click the button of agreeing!
So, McGrady, who just made a comeback in December and averaged 25+6+6 per game in three games, was quickly traded by the Rockets. The Knicks thought they had made a big advantage, because McGrady was indeed a superstar player during the Rockets' 22-game winning streak last year. Especially in the three games he made in December, he seemed to be in good shape, so even the outside media thought the deal was a loss to the Rockets.
The Rockets' trade in McGrady was actually the result of head coach Adelman and core Yao Ming co-forced the palace together. These two and a large number of Rockets players have long been unable to stand McGrady's actions, and Yao Ming's statement is undoubtedly the most important reason that Alexander had to compromise. After all, the Rockets have to make money, they still have to rely on Yao Ming!
The Rockets and the Knicks' deal was completed. McGrady and Landry went to New York with packages, but Marbury and David Lee could not play against the Clippers No. 14. The Lone Wolves are currently dealing with moving matters in New York. They will not be able to play on behalf of the Rockets until at least No. 16. In this game, the Clippers have to face a Rocket without McGrady, Landry, and Marbury and David Lee.
The two brothers were shocked by the deal. The rumors of the deal were also very sensational, but in the end, the thunder was loud and the rain was small, and McGrady was still rotten in her hands. It was not until a year later that they exchanged it for the Knicks. At that time, they got almost nothing, and David Lee couldn't even think about it.
But the Rockets have now obtained Political Commissar Ma and future All-Star player David Lee. If Marbury comes into contact with Yao Ming in Houston, his head seeps into red in advance and becomes Political Commissar Ma directly in Houston. The Rockets' strength will undoubtedly be improved a lot. Marbury will have no physical problems at this time. If he can correct his attitude, he may not be able to be reborn in Houston.
In this game, there was no change in the Rockets' strength and last time they met. Even though Yao Ming scored 30 points and 12 rebounds again, the Rockets' offense was not good at the outside, and in the end they lost 5 points to the defending champion.
The Rockets lost to the Clippers in a row, but they can't say that they are not strong enough. They can only say that the Clippers are too cruel this season, and the back-to-back disadvantage is also because the battle ended yesterday half. The Clippers players have no physical strength problems. The poor Rockets can't even take advantage of the points.
The double pick-and-roll used by the Clippers in the last game against the Trail Blazers made Battier feel at a loss today. The Rockets only lost 5 points to the Clippers away, and there is still hope of winning in the last minute. This is already excellent enough. Think about how bad the Trail Blazers lost yesterday?
After the game, Dunleavy praised the Rockets for their outstanding defense. The forward line formed by Batille and Ariza was unexpectedly difficult to deal with. Yao Ming, who was in the inside, had to use double-teams to block it. Scola's low-post footsteps were also quite difficult to defend. In addition, the Rockets' substitute lineup was outstanding. Once a star in the Rockets' backcourt was filled in, the Houstonians would immediately have the strength to compete for the championship.
Ji Guochou scored 16 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks in this game, Ji Guomori scored 24 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Billups scored 20 points and 8 assists, and Crawford scored 15 points.
Yao Ming scored 30 points and 12 rebounds, Scola scored 18 points and 7 rebounds, Landry scored 16 points, Bathir scored 12 points, and Ariza scored 12 points.
The Clippers defeated the Rockets and won 13 consecutive games, which seems not far from Ji Guowei's 20 consecutive games.
On December 17, the Clippers challenged the Thunder again against Oklahoma away. This time Artest finally met his old club.
Artest had already received his own ring. In the first game of the Thunder this season, Artest got his own ring in the new team, including Percy who also transferred, Livingston who was cut by the Clippers and others, all of whom got their championship ring in the first game of the new season.
Of course, Sterling, the old stingy person, does not want to give these people a ring, but he will definitely be sued. Recently, the Clippers boss has already had enough lawsuits. He just sued him for racial discrimination. A few days later, he was sued by Mr. Baylor, saying that he had been owed more than ten years of salary and made Sterling look slutty.
Of course, David Stern took the opportunity to hold another meeting and initiated a vote to kick out this thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh, but the result was not to be guessed. Old Bass must have voted against another secretly anonymously, and more than half of the owners of 30 teams would have voted against each other. Sterling once again escaped unscrupulously.
The old bastard Sterling escaped without any luck, but the Clippers were not so lucky today, and they probably had their character ruined by him.
In the away game, no matter how strong the team is, they may lose. It just so happens that the Thunders have excellent home record this season. So far, the young team of the Thunder has won eight of them in ten home games. It can be said that if the Thunder did not have such an excellent home record, they would not be ranked eighth in the West.
Artest's performance today is actually average. He is familiar with the Clippers, and in turn, the Clippers players are also familiar with him. Before the game started, the Clippers' bench specially went to the Clippers' bench to reminisce about the past and say hello to his former teammates, which looked harmonious and friendly.
Before the game started, Artest said at a pre-match press conference that he understood the Clippers' tactics and the Clippers' players' playing habits. He would limit the Clippers' offense on the defensive end. However, he did not see what he said before the game. The trouble for the Clippers lies in their shooting feel, not by anyone, but by shooting at open spaces one after another, and the entire team struggled with infinite irons.
However, the Thunder were cheering crazy home fans, and the more they fought, Durant's long-range shooting was completely crazy today. In the past, Garcia's defense would cause him a lot of trouble, but today no matter how Garcia and Barnes' defense were in place, Durant's shooting would fall into the net accurately.
Durant has actually always had deep resentment towards the two brothers, and he is very excited every time he sees the Clippers. These two players of the same class have almost taken away all the honors he can get. Durant can't even drink a sip of soup. He still doesn't even have a decent honor. Last year, he didn't even get a rookie of the month. Is there anything worse than this?
In today's game, Durant's touch was like his resentment. He made 8 of 10 three-pointers, scored 48 points and 10 rebounds in the game, and almost got a 50+.
In fact, he had a chance, but the twin brothers ruined his good things. Ji Guomeng used a wonderful block to ruin Durant's first 50+ for the first time in his career. However, the Thunder finally won the game, and Durant also ruined the Clippers' good things. The latter's winning streak record remained in thirteen games. The Clippers unexpectedly suffered a defeat in Oklahoma.
The American media later boasted about Durant's 48 points. Few rookies nowadays can face twin brothers without losing their limits, not to mention that they defeated the two brothers alone like Durant this time. This is a big news that the American media can make for three days.
Ji Guochou scored 21 points, 16 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks, while Ji Guomori scored 29 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.
