The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 318 [Christmas War, Clippers VS Heat]

Ye Feng and Scarlett had dinner, and there was no scandal.

Not only Ariel believed in Ye Feng, but fans all over the United States and the world believed that his marriage was fine and he would not have an affair.

An eventful reporter interviewed and asked Ariel why she felt relieved to let beauties like Ye Feng and Scarlett eat alone, Ariel smiled and said: "Because I know him very well, he is the most reliable. Among the people I know No one in the world is more rational than him, he is not the kind of person who makes mistakes easily. If he decides to do something, he must have thought it through carefully, and it will not be a bad thing.”

Another magazine wrote an article about Ye Feng and Ai Lier's union, generally trying to express that 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 2, the Clippers beat the Lakers by 10 points at home.Kobe played well and scored 30 points, but he still couldn't win.Artest was blown away by Ye Feng again.This season, Artest averaged only 44 points, 30 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 3.4 steals in 2 minutes per game, making him the highest paid player.

The game was broadcast live in the United States. After Ye Feng passed Artest and scored a dunk, Barkley commented: "Ye Feng passed Artest with a walk, even if he got into a sleeping bag like a big bug. Crawling on the ground is faster than Artest."

This commentary immediately became a big joke in the league. Artest's fat figure was out of shape in the summer, and his shooting percentage was only 4%. Despite his strong body, Artest preferred to shoot from the outside Three points, and then most of you will hear "Dang"... Lakers general manager Kupchak now dreams of sending Artest out, whether it is changing draft picks or changing people whose contracts are about to expire. good.

Artest is not the most depressing thing about the Lakers.The real "uncle" is the new coach Mike Brown.After he coached the Lakers, he used up Paul Gasol.In the past two seasons, Gasol had a lot of low-post singles, but now there are almost none. Most of them are pulled to the high post to cover for Kobe.Bynum's data has improved, but the team's record is over.

Pau Gasol ranked fourth in the league in efficiency in November, and Kobe's efficiency was outside the 11th place, but Brown has always insisted on taking Kobe as the core and never considering Gasol.The fans felt that Brown was mentally ill. If Brown usually surfed the Internet and looked at forums, he would try to change his tactics, but he didn't change anything, just Kobe playing singles.

The Los Angeles Times raised the question -- what exactly does Brown do?Coach or stand-up show performer?

Regardless of whether he wins or loses, the most common sentence Brown said at the press conference is: "Kobe has a strong leadership ability and leads by example to make the team more united..." This person seems to know nothing but flattery. .Rely on LeBron James in the Cavaliers, and now rely on Kobe.

On February 2, the Clippers defeated the Memphis Grizzlies 12-110 at home.The Grizzlies played well this season, starting with five stars, and there were Sam Young, Wilzer Henry, Darrell Arthur and other good players on the bench, which created some trouble for the Clippers.

However, the Grizzlies currently have some problems.The first is that there is no regular center. Zach Randolph plays a guest center, which is actually more like a power forward, while Griffin plays the 4th position, and his style of play is a bit like a small forward.

Second, the relationship between players is not harmonious.Griffin is the same as Ye Feng when he first entered the league. He dunks whenever he gets a chance, and jumps with all his strength to grab a rebound. His tough style of play makes him very popular. Many people think that he is more suitable to be the core of the Grizzlies.And the Grizzlies have too many people who want to be the boss.Randolph thinks he is the best candidate for the boss; Westbrook feels that he is better than Gay and grabs shots on the court; on the contrary, Gay, who has renewed his contract with a high salary, is the most low-key and has no motivation to grab the boss. As a result, his number of shots decreases. , the data dropped to an average of 16.2 points per game.

The Grizzlies head coach often puts Westbrook on the bench to calm down and reuses Conley to control the ball.In this season, the Grizzlies will definitely make big deals for future development.There are too many offensive players, and it is not a good thing to want to shoot. The effect is not as good as the development model of one person as the core and others assisting.

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 very gorgeous and is loved by players. If it is the core, he and Griffin are more suitable.

The conflict in the locker room is a stumbling block to the team's rise. Before the trade deadline, the Grizzlies will make a decision.

On the 13th, the Clippers easily defeated the Orlando Magic back-to-back. This season, the Magic is no longer good. With a record of 15 wins and 8 losses, they were overtaken by the Nets and dropped to No.4.

Perhaps because the Clippers are too strong, the Heat have formed the Big Three again. Dwight Howard is very dissatisfied with the management and feels that it is hopeless to stay in the Magic to win the championship.Before the start of the new season, he submitted a trade application to the Magic, and he didn't want to stay here to waste time.In the summer, the Magic did not succeed in signing, and the insider left Jordan again.With Howard off the court, the only inside substitutes are veterans Malik Allen, Ryan Anderson, and Daniel Orton.The substitutes are not qualified. Anderson is a super soft guy who can only use his height advantage to shoot threes. Orton can't do anything.

Howard said he would like to join a total of only four teams, namely the Nets, Mavericks, Lakers and Clippers.This time in Los Angeles, Howard chatted with Ye Feng for a while before the start of the game, and he had already begun to show his goodwill. When it comes to trading Howard, the Clippers are the most advantageous, because the team has many potential insiders, who can take out bargaining chips. It's not enough to destroy the foundation of the team.If the Clippers really form a lineup of Howard, Ye Feng, Smith, and McGee, there will be four guys at the top of the block list. Can the opponent still shoot?

In this game, the Clippers played well inside.Howard touted McGee with 12 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks at the press conference. He said: "McGee's defense put some pressure on me. Maybe he will become a very dominant player in the future."

Such an evaluation made McGee very happy.He averaged 28 minutes per game, scored 8 points, 8 rebounds and 2.3 blocks, and only had 0.5 assists. He rarely passed the ball, took few shots, and shot 56%.This season, he has started most of the games and beat Gortat in the team competition.He is also the leader in blocks in the team. Ye Feng averages only 1.8 blocks per game. He often defends the perimeter, which makes his block count drop.

After that, the Clippers defeated the 76ers, Timberwolves, Bulls, Pistons, and Rockets, achieving a wave of 14 consecutive victories. Curry has also returned from injury, and the Clippers' outside attack power has increased.

Soon it will be Christmas again, and every time this festival, the league will specially arrange several strong teams to compete.

Knicks VS Bulls.The duel between Boozer and Stoudemire is a highlight.The Knicks ranked fifth in the East with 17 wins and 12 losses. Stern gave them a chance to perform on Christmas.

Celtics VS Magic.The Celtics are still competitive this season, ranking second in the East with a record of 22 wins and 6 losses. The Magic suffered a dark period of three consecutive losses with 18 wins and 11 losses.They wanted to seek trades to strengthen the lineup, but they all failed.

In Ye Feng's previous life, Magic and Sun had a big deal.Now that the Magic doesn't have Gortat, the Suns won't be so stupid as to trade Richardson and Turkoglu for the rest of the Magic. The Suns only need good insiders.The magic would have taken Rashad. Lewis for the Wizards Arenas trade also ran aground.In Ye Feng's previous life, the Wizards selected Wall as the No. [-] pick and wanted to rebuild with Wall as the core, so they traded Arenas, the "cancer" that suppressed newcomers.Now that Wall has gone to the Nets, the Wizards have no young players who can be used as the core to rebuild, so they are not willing to let go of Arenas, who has returned from injury. Probably Lewis.Compared with Lewis, Arenas' big contract is not so bad, although his state has declined seriously.

Therefore, the Magic are still working hard with the lineup of last season, and the inside substitutes are not qualified, so it is difficult to do anything.Although the Celtics have a good record, they have also had a hard time recently. The reason is also inside. Jermaine O'Neal, who was introduced in the summer, averaged only 5 points and 3.7 rebounds per game.Rivers has a headache. It doesn't matter how well this lineup plays in the regular season. It is difficult to beat the Heat in the playoffs, and it is even more impossible to beat the Clippers in the finals.

Western Nuggets VS Thunder, the matchup between the two major scorers Durant and Anthony attracts attention, and Billups and Rose point guard old and new confrontation is also a good thing to watch.

In addition, the highlight of this Christmas war-Heat VS Clippers.

Ye Feng couldn't spend the holidays at home again.The fans are happy. Most of them want to watch the game live, but it is hard to get a ticket. Now that the two strongest teams in the league meet, no one wants to miss the opportunity.

The Lakers missed the Christmas game. At this time, the Lakers have lost 8 games, not only behind the Clippers, but even the Spurs have surpassed them.The Spurs are in amazing form this season, and they have only lost 4 games so far, ranking second in the Western Conference.

Before the start of the game, the official NBA forum conducted a poll, not to guess the outcome, but to ask fans which team would like the Heat or the Clippers to win.

83% of the fans support the Clippers, a gap that surprises people.Fans don't like the practice of the Heat's Big Three teaming up at the peak of their careers. They have become the league's public enemies this season.

"Yahoo Sports" columnist Reynolds revealed some of the thoughts of Heat coach Spoelstra. Some accusations from the outside world, Spoelstra said he did not pay attention.

During the offseason, Heat President Riley made a big deal to create a terrifying Big Three, which attracted criticism from many people.Especially Barkley, Magic owner Smith, and head coach Stan Van Gundy. These three attacked some Heat players on different occasions.Barkley bluntly said that James "has no seed", and now he will be reduced to sharing the stage with Wade and Bosh.Smith said he didn't expect James to drop his status.Van Gundy even said Bosh was a flatterer, following Wade like a puppy.

For the Heat coach, this should be some harsh words, but Spoelstra said he didn't care.Now that the Heat are leading the East, he has more confidence.Facing the interview, he said: "In the league, if there is an opportunity to sign three superstars, I believe no one will hesitate. Although many people think that we are doing something wrong, I think these accusations are more important. It's how well we can do. For me, I definitely don't care about other teams' affairs, let alone comment on other teams' situations. In fact, we don't have more time to Pay attention to what other people say and think. The team is doing well right now, and that's the key."

This is a star-studded game, the Big Three will fight against Ye Feng.The Heat have also lost six games now, because they have one more win than the Celtics and rank first in the Eastern Conference.The record cannot be used as a complete basis for strength. Wade missed two games and lost one game without James.

The Heat played with the strongest lineup in this game.The Clippers have injuries, Gortat injured his right knee and will be out for three weeks, Yi Jianlian entered 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 terrified. He can shoot suddenly, and there is OJ Mayo on the bench. This season, Mayo is a popular candidate for the best sixth man. He averaged 16 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists per game. Although he is a substitute, he has played a lot of time. Occasionally also cameo point guard.

As soon as James left the Cavaliers, the Cavaliers immediately became the bottom team in the league. This alone can prove how strong he is. The Clippers have a lot of defensive pressure in this game. Well, double-team James.

Stars generally don’t want to play games on Christmas, this time is an exception. Last season, the Big Three of the Heat had a bad job with the Clippers in their respective teams. Now they want to take revenge. Under the common attention of fans from many countries around the world It is more meaningful to beat the Clippers in the game.

The Heat have regarded this game as a preview of the finals. In an interview before the game, James said: "The Clippers have a clear advantage in the Western Conference. Our goal this season is the championship. If there are no major surprises, we are likely to win in the finals." Let’s meet, we will do our best today.”

Wade is confident to win. "The Clippers are very strong, but we have a way to prevent Ye Feng from dying. We will win this game."

In an interview, Ye Feng only said that he was looking forward to this contest, not talking about the outcome, whether he didn't have the confidence to win, or felt that there was nothing to talk about, I left it to the fans to think.

Ye Feng didn't dare to say victory lightly, the Heat already had an extra variable, Mayo was better than the one he knew in his previous life, and the Clippers had to do their best in this game!
