Chapter 123 Winning streak
After winning the Nuggets pair, everyone in the Suns didn't get much rest time. Tomorrow they will go back to Los Angeles to face the Clippers.

The Los Angeles Clippers were established and joined the NBA in 1970. Since the 1976-77 season, the Clippers have failed to enter the playoffs for 16 consecutive seasons. In 1981, the team changed hands, and Sterling became the team owner. In 1984, the team moved to Los Angeles.But it has been unable to get rid of the identity of a big team, and the best record is the semifinals of the division.

Blake Griffin, the No. 2009 pick selected by the Clippers in 2011, has become the cornerstone and hope of the team's future. With the joining of Chris Paul during the [-] offseason, the Los Angeles Clippers officially entered the ranks of the NBA's strong teams.Last year, the Clippers reached an agreement with Kawhi Leonard to officially join the Clippers.

Los Angeles is still sunny in October, which makes the Suns players feel very comfortable.When he came to Los Angeles again, Jiang Bei was filled with emotions. The last time he came to Los Angeles was to participate in the Lakers' trial training and to watch the NBA game for the first time in his life. Now that he came to Los Angeles again, he was going to play at Staples Field, which made Jiang Bei feel excited. Although this is not his home stadium, he will definitely conquer the fans here.

In the past two seasons, the Clippers have always had high expectations, but their performance has not particularly satisfied the fans, but this has not shaken the attitude of the team's management. They have always believed that the strategy implemented by the team is correct.

Especially last year the team replaced a new coach, Tyronn Lue. Tyronn Lue is not a coach known for his skills and tactics. He is better at dealing with locker room issues, because in the 19-20 season, the Clippers had a locker room incident.

The two main scoring points of the Clippers are Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.Leonard was evaluated by the Warriors' head coach as the best offensive and defensive player in the league. His defense is terrible and his offense is getting better and better.His [-]-point shooting is really, really good.He's strong, he can shoot around the rim, and he can create opportunities for his teammates.

The two-time FMVP is enough to prove his strength, and he is a frequent visitor to the best team. Last year, Leonard's career playoff total score successfully exceeded the 2500-point mark; at the same time, his number of three-pointers in the playoffs surpassed Scottie Pippen and Michael Finley, rising to the 20th place in history.

Paul George is characterized by being very versatile.He's not particularly consistent with his ball-handling shot, but his catch-and-shoot is solid.George's shooting after passing the screen of his inside teammates is particularly accurate, and the frequency is second among small forwards; no one in the top 2 is more accurate than him, even Durant can't do it.

George's ball handling skills can't be called changeable, after all, his center of gravity is too high.Fortunately, his athletic ability is very good, and sometimes he can get to the basket and draw fouls without a screen.If you talk about offense alone, George is not as good as Jandu Melon; if you add defense, he can at least be on the same level as Anthony.

In this game, Paul George and Leonard will be the biggest obstacles for the Suns. Compared with the Suns' inside, the Clippers' outside line is more aggressive.

Although Ayton's lethality at the basket is very high, but because the Clippers' perimeter defense is very tough, Ayton can't catch the ball in the interior at all, which caused the score of the game to rise to a gap of more than 10 points for a while.

With the mentality of trying, Williams replaced Jiangbei on the court, and Jiangbei and George faced off. After Jiangbei came on the court, George's dribbling became difficult. After all, Jiangbei's defense was also trained by Kobe. George, who was not very good at handling the ball, struggled under Jiangbei's pressure.

With Jiang Bei playing to control George and stabilize the Suns' perimeter defense, and then relying on his personal ability and excellent passing vision, he continued to cooperate with Ayton to attack.

"Hey! Jiangbei has a good shot, your pass is much more comfortable than Kobe Booker!" Ayton said to Jiangbei excitedly after scoring a goal with Jiangbei's assist again.

Jiangbei smiled and didn't speak, but continued to feed Ayton the ball in the following games, which made Ayton very happy. At the same time, he was also very satisfied with Jiangbei's performance. He made up his mind that Jiangbei will be my best friend from now on.

In the end, the Suns won the game with a slight advantage. Jiangbei scored a double-double of 20 points, 13 assists, and 2 rebounds. With Jiangbei's assists, Ayton scored 38 points, 15 rebounds, and 3 assists. It can be said that the victory of this game is based on the cooperation between Jiangbei and Ayton.

In this game, Jiangbei's playing time increased to 25 minutes. Williams was very satisfied with Jiangbei's performance. While ensuring his own data, he also won the game. More importantly, he allowed the inside to play his own advantage, which Jiangbei did much better than Devin Booker.

After the game, Ayton even went to secretly ask Williams, "Hey, coach, why don't you let Jiangbei start? He cooperates really well with me. If you add Paul, it will be invincible!"

With the end of this game, the Suns have won four consecutive victories. On the Internet, due to the excellent performance of the Suns in the preseason, ESPN's evaluation of the Suns' combat power is also getting higher and higher.

In the last game of the preseason, the Suns faced the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors' home court was originally in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and they moved to California in 1962; because California's nickname is "Golden State", it was named "Golden State Warriors".It is one of the first 11 teams to join the NBA; in the history of the NBA, it has won the championship six times, and the Warriors won the NBA's first championship; Wilt Chamberlain, the record holder for the highest score in a single game in the NBA, scored 100 points in the Warriors.

Later, due to the departure of Kevin Durant, the Warriors faced the lack of a lineup. For a while, the team's record plummeted, and they could only choose to play poorly. They looked forward to finding a replacement for Durant next season. In the end, the Warriors won James Wiseman with a second pick in the draft.

Before the game, Williams found Jiang Bei in the team's locker room.

"Jiangbei, you start this game. Perform well!" Williams finally made up his mind to start in the last game of the preseason at the suggestion of Ayton. He decided to let Jiangbei try to start. It is better to adjust in the preseason than in the regular season.
