The Legend of the Hungry Wolf in Basketball

Chapter 476 [62 points in a single game, people are not as good as heaven! 】

The Cavaliers lineup is also promising this season, especially inside.The core of the team is the point guard Kyrie Irving. He has proven himself last season. He can score and organize. He can break through with both hands.As a 19-year-old rookie, Irving's efficiency value ranked fifth among point guards last year. It's hard to imagine how terrifying it is at the age of 5.

Irving's only weakness is defense, but he's young and talented and will improve tremendously in the future, especially since he only played a handful of college games before entering the NBA.He often doesn't know what to do or where to appear on the defensive end, which is something he should learn in the future.

This year, the Cavaliers also strengthened the No. 2 position.Rookie Dion Waiters is a powerful combo guard who can break through and finish offenses. He handles the ball well, but he is a bit short as a shooting guard and has average outside shots.

They also dug up the Jazz's CJ. Miles.A left-handed wing with an elegant style of play, tall arms and long arms, who can break through and has the instinct of a scorer.His defense is not bad, but no one will regard him as an ace, a qualified backup.

Insider JaVale McGee and the "Brazilian actor" Anderson Varejao start together, but Varejao's potential injury is also worrying. He has turned 30 and has begun to pay the price for his crazy style of play.

The bench has a quality second-year rookie like Tristan Thompson.Tyler Zeller is also an inside rookie introduced by the Cavaliers this year. He is a highly mobile and efficient seven-footer with excellent running and a soft 18-foot shooting touch, but lacks signature scoring skills.He's a bit old as a rookie, turning 1 in January, and lacking any impressive statistics in college other than shooting efficiency, which is why he slipped.

The Cavaliers are optimistic about this season. Experts believe that they will not only enter the playoffs, but may also make a breakthrough.

But the Cavaliers still can't beat the Clippers.The first three quarters of the game were very tense. The Clippers players had mediocre touch and a low shooting percentage. It was not until the fourth quarter that the Clippers opened up the score. Ye Feng got 14 free throw opportunities in a single quarter and made all of them.

Media hype can affect not only players, but also referees.After Ye Feng was selected to the best team in NBA history, some referees began to feel that Ye Feng did not get enough free throws.He often plays in the low post and drives inside through screens, averaging less than 10 free throws per game.In this game, Ye Feng got a lot of chances at the free throw line. He made 28 of 25 free throws and made a lot of free throws. Ye Feng scored 42 points, 62 rebounds and 11 assists in 4 minutes of playing.Created a new high for the player's personal score this season.

Cavaliers coach Byron Scott expressed dissatisfaction with the referee's penalty on the sidelines, but to no avail. NBA referees have personal preferences and whistle-blowing standards. Of course, star whistles may also be the cause.

Watching NBA games, the fans in front of the TV, like the fans at the scene, often scold the referees for the unfair penalties on the field, but the referee named Donaghy now tells people that many times the players and the fans are just the referees. It's just a puppet used for betting.Donaghy's autobiography "Whistle: Deceit in the NBA" written in prison caused Stern's already snow-white hair to fall out a lot, and news about this book's publication ban continued, so this book How much bullshit is there in the book?Some details of this book have been exposed by an American website that specializes in breaking news about shady sports events.

Referees will purposely call technical fouls on players with a bad reputation, and then everyone will wait for this interesting moment to happen. After the game, when the coach or player complains endlessly in the press conference, the referee may drink beer in the locker room The player who gnaws on a drumstick and laughs is an idiot.

In addition, the referee bets on who will blow the first foul whistle after the opening, and the person who can't hold on first will be punished to pay the caddy a tip, or directly invite the other two referees who participated in the gambling to have dinner, of course The loser can also simply give the other two $50 each.

This is why sometimes in the first few minutes of the game, the players on both sides make great moves and the scene is messy, but the referee is reluctant to "interrupt the game".

In Donaghy's autobiography, in a summer league game, Callahan, Wendridge, and Donaghy didn't call any fouls for more than 3 minutes, and the players looked at us three in confusion. Playing switchbacks on the court until a Nets player knocked his opponent straight to the ground, Karahan blew his whistle and he lost the bet.

The star whistle and the home whistle are even more well-known secrets. Donaghy also talked about how the league defeated the Kings and Rockets in the playoffs.

It's not just the Clippers. In the game played on the same day, the Lakers challenged the Jazz away and scored 46 free throws. The Jazz only made 14 free throws, and the gap was more than three times.Who said the Lakers aren't good at fast breaks?Who said that Lakers players rely on singles and shooting?Can there be so many free throws without fast breaks or breakthroughs?If you watch the game and find that the Lakers have not changed much from the previous two games, how they got so many free throws, you have to ask the referee.What's even more amazing is that the Lakers, who scored 46 free throws, lost and only scored 86 points.They didn't cooperate at all, with only 10 assists in the game.

Kobe was the only one who played normally for the Lakers, scoring 31 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.Despite the improvement in shooting percentage, Kobe averaged 5 turnovers per game in three games, which also created a new career high.

Fans continued to call for Brown to step down, and the most vocal successor was former Jazz coach Sloan.

Brown was not only "besieged" by reporters, but also criticized by many celebrities.Barkley, who was the commentator for that game, yelled after seeing the Lakers' sluggish offense, "Stop that Princeton thing!" Kenny Smith, who was next to Barkley, also chimed in. The two used the Lakers as material to talk about cross talk throughout the game.

Lakers star and current ESPN commentator "Magic" Johnson said on the show: "The only thing I can be sure of is that the ball should stay in Ty Lawson's hands more. Why don't they play more pick-and-roll cooperation? ?Lawson has to play pick-and-rolls to play his breakthrough advantage, so let him be a spot-up shooter outside with 180cm?"

Gallinari, who played for the Nuggets, also questioned the Lakers' style of play, "It's so strange to see Ty Lawson running so much without the ball, but not breaking through."

Three straight losses.The Lakers only chose Kobe to support Brown. "Shut up, all the critics are pointing the finger at Mike Brown for the simple reason that Phil Jackson has won the championship and Mike hasn't! It might be a bit difficult for Mike to say that, so I would say for him: 'Everybody shut up and let's get to work.'"

In an interview, Kobe used "shut up" and "stupid, idiot, forgetful" twice to describe the panic of Lakers fans, and slapped those fans hard.

In the back-to-back games on the second day, relying on the generosity of the Pistons, the bottom team in the league, the Lakers ended a three-game losing streak that had not been met in 34 years, but the dissatisfaction of the fans with the head coach Mike Brown still did not decrease in the slightest, "Firing Brown" chants came and went in and out of Staples Arena.Next, the two opponents of the Lakers are not too strong. If they take advantage of the situation and win three consecutive victories, Brown will still have a chance to breathe, but once he suffers another defeat against the Warriors and Kings, Brown's position will be really hard to guarantee. .

Ye Feng doesn't have any comments on the Lakers, as long as he knows that the Lakers are not a threat to the Clippers, that's enough.Sometimes a detail can trigger a series of butterfly effects.He left the Lakers to join the Clippers, which is the beginning of everything.He doesn't feel that he is sorry for the Lakers. Some people have good luck and some people have bad luck. Who is to blame?With good luck, once you enter the league and follow a good boss, you can win the championship.Bad luck, like Grant Hill, who can enter the Hall of Fame if he is not injured, but is reduced to a role player.

On November 11, the Clippers, who had had a smooth sailing, also joined the ranks of the unlucky army. In the fifth game against the San Antonio Spurs, Marcus Thornton was injured.

Thornton was tripped by Gary Neal during a breakthrough and injured his left knee.Knee injuries are the most feared injury for players, which may affect their entire career.The Spurs played poorly in this game. Parker and Ginobili scored high figures, and the Clippers easily won the game.But they couldn't be happier without Thornton.

After inspection the next day, the Clippers officially announced that Thornton will definitely miss the game for the next three months.In the next 3 months, the Clippers will further evaluate Thornton's injury. It is expected that he will not be able to return to the court until next year's All-Star Game.

Thornton received injections in his left knee to repair the tip of his knee.After receiving the injection, Thornton could only stay on the injured list and wait for recovery.His injury will definitely make many teams happy, and the Clippers' second unit attack has weakened.Although he is a substitute, Thornton has a strong scoring ability, averaging 13 points per game. His strength can be seen from the fact that he squeezed out Curry.

The uniform team sent Curry away because of his potential injury and kept Thornton. However, Thornton has missed many games due to injury in the past two seasons. Curry has no problem. Now it is the Warriors. He also played well.This is called people's calculations are not as good as the sky.In Ye Feng's previous life, Thornton had always been healthy.

Now the Clippers' second team assaulter is only Isiah Thomas. His defense is too poor and he is easy to become the main target on the court.In this way, Jeremy Lamb can also get more playing time.Fortunately, there is also Brandon Roy, who has a good sense of passing and can be a cameo organizer.

The Clippers have also begun to seek some solutions to make up for Thornton's absence. The first goal is Michael Pietrus in the free agent market.Last season, Pietrus played for the Boston Celtics, averaging 6.8 points and 3.1 rebounds per game while shooting only 38.5 percent from the field. "French Jordan" is no longer as brave as before, and it is still possible to sign a one-year base salary as a spare tire.
