The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 468 [The running-in of the preseason]

Harrison Barnes looked very tender when facing Wade, and he couldn't do rotations well when his teammates defended him, and he didn't know where to stand.Experience can only be accumulated, and it cannot be achieved quickly. The Clippers have been instilling the idea of ​​zone defense in the newcomers during training, and it will take a period of time to adjust.The Clippers' defense is bound to get weaker this season.

This is just an ordinary preseason game, but the Heat played it as a regular season. James played the entire first quarter, and he had a strong desire to perform from the beginning. He dunked two baskets in a row and set off a 10-2 offensive climax. .Ye Feng also got serious and used some of his signature moves.

The wonderful scenes continued, James grabbed the offensive rebound and made a backhand smash.Ye Feng intercepted Chalmers' pass, solo fast break, 360-degree turn and dunk.Wade and James also hit a half-court lob...

Pau Gasol and Love only played for half a quarter before taking a break and replaced Gasol Jr. and Yi Jianlian. After the two left the field, the Clippers were less cooperative and more solo.

Ye Feng scored 10 points in the first quarter, James scored 12 points, and the Clippers fell behind 23-28.

In the second quarter, the two sides sent substitutes, and the Heat continued to control the situation.Ray Allen was the biggest gain for the Heat in the summer, and he quickly hit two three-pointers.The most eye-catching person for the Clippers is Isiah Thomas, whose breakthrough is extremely sharp.

When Ye Feng played again, he hit four mid-range shots in a row to narrow the point difference to 3 points, bringing the atmosphere to a climax, and some fans began to shout "MVP".James did not show weakness, and responded with hooks and layups.

In the third quarter, Ye Feng and James still played and led the team to play against each other. The fans felt that the trip was worthwhile.In this quarter, Ray Allen and Lewis hit three-pointers successively, Bosh also had a wonderful performance, and the Heat widened the point difference to 15 points.

Without Josh Smith, the Clippers' striker strength has been greatly affected.The Gasol brothers, Love's playing time is too short, relying on Thackeray, Yi Jianlian, and Jones has no advantage against the Heat inside.After Roy came back, he was in a mediocre state. He seemed eager to prove himself, but he failed several times and only scored two points.In the fourth quarter, the Heat led by up to 21 points. The Clippers replaced Ye Feng, and there was no suspense about the outcome.

最终快船99比113输掉了比赛。叶锋得到了25分4篮板3助攻，詹姆斯得到了21分6篮板5助攻，两人的表演让现场观众大饱眼福。

On the 14th, the two sides played the second match in Shanghai, and the heat continued.

The Clippers took it seriously in this game. Ye Feng played 38 minutes and scored a quasi triple-double with 34 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists. However, he led the rookies and still failed to beat the Heat. The Clippers lost two games in a row 103-107 .The highlight of this game was the Heat's backup point guard Ettoine Moore. The defender who was cut by the Rockets made 6 of 4 three-pointers and 10 of 7 shots in the game. He scored 20 points and 4 assists with free throws.

Chinese fans are a little disappointed with these two preseason games, and they hope to see the Clippers beat the Heat.

In the new season, the Clippers must complete the run-in as soon as possible. Although Ye Feng is good in singles, cooperation is the key to winning.After the three-game losing streak in the preseason, some media began to worry about the Clippers, saying that they seemed to have embarked on the old path of Ye Feng being the core of the game in the 2008-2009 season.

Especially after seeing Ray Allen's outstanding performance, the media questioned the Clippers' summer deal. If Ray Allen took the No. 2 position, it would definitely be much better than Roy, Lamb and others.As long as the Clippers are willing to send out an invitation, it is impossible for Ray Allen to join the Heat.

There is no regret drug in the world. The big names in the free market already have owners. The Clippers can only rely on the current lineup for the new season.

After returning to Los Angeles and resting for two days, the Clippers played against the Utah Jazz at home on the 18th, and finally won a victory 100 to 95.The win was not easy. In the first half, under the leadership of Ye Feng, the Clippers led by 22 points. Harrison Barnes and Lamb also performed very well beyond the three-point line.Ye Feng didn't play in the second half, and the Jazz recovered a lot of points. In the fourth quarter, they were only 2 points behind.

The other two rookies Thackeray performed well, the low-post defense can play some role, and the offensive end can also score goals.Perry Jones' primary goal in the near future is to gain weight and exercise strength. If he doesn't gain weight, he won't be able to fight against others at the 4th position.As the No. 3 position, his lateral movement is not fast enough, and his defense is difficult to meet the standard.If he wants to occupy a place in the team, he must practice defense well, and the coaching staff is more inclined to let him play the 4th position, after all, his height is 211CM.

On the 21st, the Clippers VS Nets, Howard did not play in this game, the Clippers still lost 84 to 99.James Harden, Gordon Hayward and others performed well.Several starters of the Clippers played very short time, and the cooperation of the substitutes was messy.Roy and Hinrich seem to have been scrapped too.

Although it is only a preseason game, the record of 1 win and 4 losses is really not good. They only lost four games last season.And the Clippers' offensive power seems to be weaker than last season.

On the 23rd, the Clippers finally won an easy victory against the Golden State Warriors at home.Curry became the Warriors' starting point guard, partnering with Klay Thompson.Warriors insider star Bogut and did not participate.

Facing his former owner in this game, Curry played very well, scoring 24 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists.As long as you give him the ball, he has the ability to score.

Harrison Barnes played badly this time, hitting two goals in seven shots.At this time, many people questioned that replacing an inexperienced rookie like Harrison with Curry was a big loss.And throughout the preseason, Lamb's performance was even worse, and he didn't seem to be worthy of the 7th pick.Coupled with the mediocre performance of Jones and Thackeray, even the big "honey" Barkley said with emotion: "The Clippers can't be sure about the draft every time."

The last preseason game for the Clippers was the Derby against the Lakers on the 26th.

The Lakers had the worst preseason performance in the league and didn't win a game.Nene is still recovering from injury and did not play. The Lakers used Jordan Hill and Jamison as partners. Kobe also missed this game due to injury. Iguodala is not good at scoring. The best scorer for the Lakers is point guard Ty Lawson .

This kind of Lakers can't beat the Clippers. The reason for Kobe's injury is a bit bizarre. He dunked Iguodala and injured his right shoulder during training. After inspection, there is no serious problem. It's just that the preseason is not important, so he rested. He will definitely play in the Lakers' opener.

After winning this victory, the Clippers improved their record to 3 wins and 4 losses, barely qualified.The losing Lakers lost 8 games in a row in the preseason. They seem to have forgotten how to win.

Experts recommend that the Lakers find a point guard who can defend.Ty Lawson has a good offense, but his height is only 180cm, and his poor physique is doomed to make it difficult for him to perform on the defensive end.The backup guard Blake's defense is so bad that he can't be saved. Almost any guard who can break through can beat him.Last season, people complained about Blake and Fisher's poor defense. This season, they still failed to introduce defenders who are good at defense. To make up for this shortcoming, but the Lakers did not do so.

Eight-game losing streak, the Lakers coach Mike. Brown was pushed to the "crater".Many fans believe that even for the purpose of training, the Lakers should not have 8 wins and 0 losses in the preseason.Some people also suggested that the Lakers should invite "Zen Master" Phil Jackson to coach again.

Faced with these, Brown smiled lightly.He accepted an exclusive interview with reporters after the game, and said shockingly: "In the preseason, I can say that we deliberately made us 0 wins and 8 losses! I have no pressure, I only feel motivation, and I think my players are the same."

How thick is this guy's face?Whether the Lakers will create a myth or a joke in the new season, people will wait and see.Of course, it is more likely that Brown will deliberately lose a few more games.

At the end of the preseason, the Clippers have roughly completed the task of running the lineup.The coaching staff also knew the level of the rookies.In order to ensure the record, Thibodeau is going to let the veterans play more, and the rookies only Harrison Thomas will get more playing time.Lamb and Thackeray may be sent to the NBDL for exercise.

The team was on vacation for three days, Ye Feng didn't practice, and stayed at home with Ariel, he felt a little sorry for his wife.This is a full season. Even if the schedule is not as tight as last season, there will be many away games. It is impossible for him to stay in Los Angeles all the time.

Ariel had no objection, and said, "Just concentrate on playing the game. There are many servants at home, so there is no need for you to take care of me. This season's team lineup has weakened. Whether you can defend the championship is the question. I hope You can win another ring back as a birth gift."

Ye Feng said with a smile: "This year is a bit more difficult. I think it's okay to defend the title. After all, the Gasol brothers and Love are still there. How about letting them engrave other words on the ring after winning the championship? For example, 'family' ?”

NBA championship rings, each NBA championship ring has to go through the manual labor of 75 to 100 people, and the average time spent on each production process is about 10 weeks, so there is an unwritten rule, that is, the new season Start issuing. NBA championship rings have their own characteristics. Although the decoration is not very luxurious, the humanized design makes it have great collection and commemorative value.

Usually the ring has the year of winning the championship and the name of the team. Each player's ring is also engraved with his own name. Some of them will also be engraved with the regular season, playoffs record and other memorable information in the championship season. .This time the Clippers' championship ring is engraved with "Total Victory" on one side to commemorate their unbeaten record in the playoffs, and the other side is engraved with "Miracle" under the patterns of the two O'Brien Cups!
"You really think far enough. Let's talk about it when the time comes. They are not weak against the Grizzlies in the opening game. You have to work harder and don't lose."

The Grizzlies are indeed very strong. They renewed the contracts of Marcin Gortat, Blake Griffin, Chauncey Billups and others. Except for Tony Allen, they did not introduce too strong new players. We can hope that the strength of the original players will improve.

On October 10, the new season will start.
