NBA: Art is trash talk

Chapter 415 The Coming Christmas War

At the end of the first half, the two teams scored 65 to 65, a tie.

He Xinghui scored 22 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. In the second quarter, he had a lot of assists and kept the hope of getting a triple-double.

The Jazz did not deliberately prevent He Xinghui from getting a triple-double, they wanted to win more.

Even, this was a small trap set by Jerry Sloan for He Xinghui.

Give He Xinghui a little bit of hope for a triple-double. He Xinghui will hurt the team's efficiency when he deliberately collects such data, and the Jazz will have a greater chance of winning.

During the intermission, the commentators of the major TV stations were discussing whether He Xinghui could get a triple-double in this game.

In the Clippers locker room, others also asked He Xinghui.

"Let's play and see first, and then play again on the premise of ensuring winning."

He Xinghui said.

The intermission ended and the two teams returned to the court.

The Clippers attacked first, He Xinghui received the ball and was double-teamed, and then scored Gasol.

Gasol ate Boozer directly and hit a jumper.

The strength of the two is similar, but Gasol has a bit of an advantage in height.

The Jazz counterattacked, and the Clippers quickly retreated.

Delong broke through, He Xinghui gave up Bruce and ran to help defend.

In the first half, he didn't work hard on the defensive end. Now he wants to play a bit of an advantage, so he started to help defend.

Delong also wanted to rely on his dribbling ability to get rid of He Xinghui's harassment, but unfortunately he underestimated He Xinghui's defensive ability, and the ball was cut off as a result.

This season, Deron's turnovers per game ranks second in the league, averaging 3.5 per game.

After He Xinghui stole the ball, he played a fast break with Livingston.

Delong chased after him, but he couldn't defend against two.

He guessed that what He Xinghui wanted to do most at this time was to pass the ball and get assists.

Therefore, he chose to focus on defending Livingston.

Unfortunately, He Xinghui saw his thoughts.

Ever since, He Xinghui played with Delong, instead of passing the ball, he made a wonderful split dunk.

"You don't really think I care about triple-doubles, do you? Stats are like clouds to me."

He Xinghui mocked.

Deron Williams kept silent when he heard the words, this feeling of being seen through was very embarrassing.

The Jazz attacked, and Deron was much more cautious this time.

Facing He Xinghui's double-team, he chose to pass the ball quickly to Bruce.

He Xinghui quickly returned to defense, but Bruce didn't have time to make a shot.

His shooting form is ugly, and more importantly, his release speed is very slow.

Losing the opportunity to make a shot, Bruce can only find a way to pass the ball back to his teammates.

It's a pity that he doesn't have as good judgment as Deron, and he can't play pick-and-roll with his teammates.

He could only throw the ball to Kirilenko who was closest to him. Seeing that time was running out, Kirilenko bit the bullet and shot.

The ball missed.

Of course, what is worse than not scoring the ball is that their offensive tactics this time were destroyed and they played without rules.

In the next round, the Jazz encountered this kind of trouble again.

This is all thanks to He Xinghui's sudden increase in defensive intensity.

Sloan was forced to call a timeout, made some adjustments, and made a few tactical arrangements after He Xinghui assisted in the defense.

However, after they returned to the court, He Xinghui stopped double-teaming again.

Sloan knew he was being played, but there was nothing he could do about it.

The game continued, and the Clippers' offense was as fierce as in the first half.

However, the touch of Jazz players is slowly declining.

Why this happens is an unsolved mystery.

The player's touch is a question of metaphysics.

After the third quarter, the Clippers led 94 to 88 by 6 points.

This is already a relatively big advantage for the Clippers.

In the fourth quarter, He Xinghui began to rush for rebounds frequently.

He already has 10 assists, and now there are only rebounds left.

The Jazz attacked, He Xinghui shrank directly to the inside, and Gasol defended even more outside.

Bruce got a good shot, Deron passed the ball in the past, Maggette defended, Bruce shot.

Unfortunately, the ball missed.

Kaman is facing Okur, He Xinghui jumps up and competes with Boozer for rebounds.

Boozer is taller and stronger, but He Xinghui bounces better and faster.

More importantly, his position is better, the ball is closer to him.

Ever since, He Xinghui won this competition.

The scene looked like He Xinghui grabbed the rebound on Boozer's head.

"My cousin's ability to grab rebounds is quite strong."

Smith sighed.

"It's also quite dangerous. I was almost snatched by Boozer."

Mike Brin complained.

He Xinghui likes to mention a rebound, and the Clippers attack.

He Xinghui got rid of Bruce by running, caught the ball and shot.

After the shot, He Xinghui ran towards the basket, as if he wanted to grab a rebound.

However, the ball was scored, and He Xinghui retreated quickly.

His running just now was a waste of energy, but at this time the team is leading, such a waste of energy is not a big problem.

After several rounds, some spectators could see that He Xinghui was rebounding.

The Jazz players know this better, but unfortunately they have no choice, they still have to fight to win.

The Jazz attacked, and Bruce, who was emptied, finally hit.

Bruce breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't imagine what the fans would think of him if he missed the ball again.

He got excited a little early, and then He Xinghui made an unreasonable blind shot.

As a result, the ball went in.

The point difference came to 10 points, which is the first time the difference between the two teams in this game has reached double digits.

This also means that the Jazz are in danger. After all, the game time is running out, with only 6 minutes left.

Chasing 6 points in 10 minutes, the opponent is still the Clippers.

Other teams might give up directly, but the Jazz are tenacious, and they still want to struggle.

They replaced Bruce with Korver and added a three-point shooting point.

Korver's defense is much worse than Bruce's, but Sloan doesn't care that much anymore.

There are not so many players who are both offensive and defensive.

The Jazz attacked, and He Xinghui couldn't shrink back to the basket, and couldn't even help defend. He had to follow Korver stubbornly.

No way, this guy's offensive threat is much greater than Bruce's.

Deron successfully broke through Livingston, went to the basket and hit a layup, recovering two points.

In the transition between offense and defense, He Xinghui threw away Korver, caught the ball and shot it, but the ball missed.

Sloan nodded secretly. Judging from the first round of offense and defense, his adjustments were very effective.

However, there is an element of luck in this.

In the next round, He Xinghui continued to break through Korver, went to the basket and assisted Kaman to score.

Korver's defense against He Xinghui was even more difficult, and he was completely abused.

After several rounds, it turned out that Sloan's adjustments were useless.

With 2 minutes left in the clock, the difference between the two teams was 9 points.

He Xinghui's personal data is already 39 points, 9 rebounds and 12 assists.

He was just one rebound away from a triple-double.

Jazz did not give up, this is their home, they need to defend.

Deron took the ball across the court, then suddenly threw a three-pointer, and the ball went in.

His three-point shooting percentage this season is actually 40%, but he doesn't make many shots, averaging only 2.5 shots per game and 1 hit per game.

The point difference narrowed to 6 points, and the fans cheered one after another. They saw the future of the team.

They believe that Deron will grow into a superstar in the future.

Even, in the eyes of some Deron fans, Deron is now a superstar.

In the transition between offense and defense, Maggette helped He Xinghui block, He Xinghui shook off Korver, caught the ball and shot.

Three point hit.

The fans at the scene couldn't help sighing.

What they want to say now is that it's not that their own players are weak, but that the enemy is too strong.

Other players averaged 2 three-pointers per game, which is considered an excellent three-pointer.

But for He Xinghui, if he only hits two or three in a game, it is absolutely abnormal.

The Jazz are still struggling, but unfortunately they have also exposed a weakness at this time, that is, the team lacks a super giant and someone who can stand up at critical moments.

To be precise, there is a lack of players like Kobe, Tracy McGrady and Iverson.

Boozer, Kirilenko, Deron, and Okur are all players who can score, but none of them have explosive scoring ability.

Boozer played hard at the basket, causing Kaman to foul.

It's a pity he didn't score, it's not two plus one.

What's worse, he made one of two free throws.

Looking back, He Xinghui assisted Gasol and made a hit, but the point difference widened.

The Jazz completely lost hope and eventually lost the game.

However, He Xinghui also failed to get a triple-double, and he was always one rebound behind.

Picking up rebounds requires not only strength, but also luck.

When you are unlucky, even having teammates to help is useless.

It is precisely because of this that it is so difficult to get a triple-double, and the media and fans are so surprised when a triple-double is achieved.

In the current league history, 17 triple-doubles in a single season can be ranked in the top three.

The highest in a single season is Robertson's 41 times.

The total number of triple-doubles in Robertson's career is only 179 times.

In 22 games this season, He Xinghui has already scored 11 triple-doubles, which is very likely to break Robertson's record of 41 times.

"What a pity."

Smith sighed.

"No way, my cousin is still a person after all, not God, it is impossible to do it every time."

Mike Breen said.

The final score was 125 to 112, and the Clippers won by 13 points.

For the Jazz, Boozer scored the highest score with 25 points and 11 rebounds.

Deron had 21 points and 12 assists, Kirilenko was average with 12 points and 6 rebounds, Okur had 17 points and 9 rebounds, Korver had 11 points, and Bruce had 9 points.
快船这边，何星辉34投18中，三分19中9，加上罚球拿到了49分9篮板13助攻。

Gasol had 20 points and 11 rebounds, Kaman had 12 points, Maggette had 19 points, Millsap had 10 points, and none of the others scored in double figures.

In the question-and-answer session with reporters after the game, Jerry Sloan said that the team had tried their best, but there was nothing they could do.

"49 points, 9 rebounds and 13 assists, he alone has the data of two stars, what else can we do?"

Sloan complained.

He even felt that He Xinghui alone was more useful than Deron + Boozer.

Playing against the Clippers is like playing 5-6, which is a real disadvantage.

"What do you mean, Deron, Boozer and the others are not as good as their cousins?"

The reporter made a fuss.

"Deron and Boozer are excellent, but they are not as good as their cousins. This is a recognized fact. Do you think I dare not say it directly?"

Jerry Sloan continued to complain.

"Deron, what do you think, are you better or your cousin better?"

reporter asked.

"Of course my cousin is better now, but I'm still growing, and my peak is far from coming."

Deron said helplessly.

Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit it.

If he says that he is better than Chris Paul, everyone will only dispute this.But if he dared to say that he is better than He Xinghui, he would definitely be ridiculed by the whole network.

"Then when do you think your peak will be reached, what height will your peak be, can you average 40+10+10 per game?"

The reporter continued to ask.

"I don't know, let's wait and see."

Deron can only prevaricate.

In his heart, he actually didn't think he could average 40 points per game, let alone a triple-double of 40+ points per game.

When it was the Clippers' turn, the reporter still asked the triple-double question.

"He, you missed a triple-double by one rebound in this game, do you feel regretful?"

reporter asked.

"Of course I have some regrets, but this is an official game, and I pay more attention to winning."

He Xinghui said.

"Deron said you are better than him, what do you think, do you think you are already the best player in the league?"

Reporters get to work.

Although this is a matter recognized by everyone, if He Xinghui admits it carelessly, some people will still complain about it to some extent.

He Xinghui did not answer directly, he said: "Why do you always care about my strength and talent, but you can't care about my appearance, and ask me if I think I am the most handsome person in the world? Can you not So superficial."

"."

Everyone.

"Then do you think you are the most handsome person in the world?"

A reporter actually asked.

"Of course, whether you admit it or not, I think so anyway."

He Xinghui said.

After making things difficult, he was led astray again.

After the game, some media with strong entertainment directly took "Cousin: I am the most handsome person in the world" as the headline.

Not to mention, this article has a high number of views.

Fans are tired of watching the news of He Xinghui's big kills all the time, and they want to watch He Xinghui's gossip even more.

Now, in order to dig out He Xinghui's gossip, the media sometimes even dispatched helicopters to fly over He Xinghui's mansion. Mark was forced to sue several media, and the lawsuit is still in progress.

After playing the Jazz, the Clippers ushered in a wave of easy schedule.

They defeated the Warriors, Trail Blazers, Kings, and 76ers one after another, achieving a wave of 5 consecutive victories.

However, he overturned the car while playing against the Rockets and lost to the Rockets.

The Rockets' lineup has not changed much this year, but they are playing much better than last season, and it is estimated that they have run in better.

Lost 4 games early, but the Clippers' record also came to the league's first, 23 wins and 4 losses.

The Celtics are 22 wins and 4 losses, half a game less than the Clippers.

The faces of those who predicted that the Clippers would lose their dominance before the season were all swollen. Can they be number one in the league without dominance?

The Clippers on the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th did not have games. The league arranged for them to play the Christmas game against the Cavaliers.

There are only two Christmas battles this year.

Clippers vs. Cavaliers, last year's Finals matchup.

Celtics vs. Pistons, the battle for the top spot in the Eastern Conference.

These are all focused matchups. The current four teams are basically the four most popular teams in the league.

Teams such as the Suns and the Spurs are also very strong, but they live in the shadow of the Clippers, giving fans the illusion that they are not good enough.
