King of the Point Guard Era

Chapter 194 The strength of the new aid

On Christmas Eve, the Arco Arena of the Kings was full of Kings fans. Due to the excellent performance of the Kings last season and the generous introduction of new aid West, at the beginning of the new season, the season tickets of the Kings Compared with the sales volume of last season, it has doubled several times. If the Kings management is more determined to strengthen their team record.

The king's starting lineup is He Yixiang, Casspi, Iguodala, West, Cousins. When West, a new player, came on the field, the king's arena also gave the new player who joined the king this year. His cheers were even second only to He Yixiang, which made Cousins ​​a little jealous.

The Clippers' starting lineup is Paul, Billups, Butler, Griffin, and Jordan. This double-point guard lineup is a little short in height. The guards composed of 183cm Paul and 191cm Billups He Yixiang, who is 195cm in line, and Casspi, who is 201cm, are indeed a bit short, but at the same time, the speed and dexterity of these two defenders are definitely better, especially compared with Casspi.

Jordan used his bounce and wingspan to easily jump to the ball. Paul controlled the ball and found Griffin who was in the waist after halftime. After receiving the ball, "White Monster" Griffin imagined that he would play Rand in singles last year. The same leaning on West directly crushed into the inside line.

But this time he obviously thought a little too much. The reason why he was called White Warcraft was because he had the same outstanding bounce and enviable upper body strength as the Warcraft Howard.But this time, he found the wrong target. West directly resisted him without retreating at all. Griffin failed to get rid of this guy after several moves, and finally had to end the attack with a hasty shot.Of course, the goal was not scored, and there was even a considerable distance across the basket.

Just now, he lost the jump ball to Jordan, knowing that he was not good at bouncing. Cousins ​​used his own body to hold Jordan behind him, grabbed the rebound and quickly passed it to him. He Yixiang.He Yixiang found West directly after halftime. Before Griffin made up for it, West had already made a clean mid-range shot and scored the first point of the season for the Kings.

"Don't let him make mid-range shots. His mid-range shots can kill people." Paul's expression was a little serious. He and West fought together in the Hornets for 6 seasons and entered the Western Conference playoffs several times.The mutual understanding between the top and second heads of the two Hornets may basically be the deepest.

In the next round, Iguodala blocked Griffin and Butler with a no-demand pick-and-roll, allowing West to cut into the paint. At the same time, He Yixiang's precise scalpel-like pass was directly inserted into West's hands.

The last barrier of the Clippers, Jordan, directly made up for it, and took off to block West's shooting space. However, West was very keen to find Cousins ​​​​who had been emptied at the other end of the penalty area. A low hand pass The ball went straight to him.Facing the empty basket, Cousins, who had accumulated a lot of anger before the game, directly ended the attack with a heavy dunk and roar.

Although it is only a 4-0 lead, but in key games such as the opening game and the Christmas game, the new aid West showed such a beautiful performance as soon as he came on the field, and the fans of the Kings will naturally not be stingy with their cheers .

"He played really well. The signing of the Kings can only be said to be absolutely worthwhile. His personal ability is really much better than that of Landry." Barkley saw West's wonderful performance. He agrees very much, after all, he is just not optimistic that today's king can win the victory, but he still agrees with this signing.

Smith also nodded: "Landry is indeed very young and has potential, but the king's Ho and Cousins, the two precocious rookies, were not as strong as the two first-year students last year. The king has no time to accompany them. With Landry growing up together, even if Landry didn't leave this year, if West was an option, the Kings would probably prefer this option."

Seeing that West is in good condition, He Yixiang is naturally happy to let him play more. With mid-range shots and small hooks, West is using technology to teach Griffin, a power forward who advocates violent aesthetics.Griffinney's famed power was ineffective against West.The Clippers were beaten 14:6 in the half quarter, and West contributed 6 points and 1 assist.Completely suppressed Griffin, who scored 22+12 last year.

The head coach of the Clippers, De Nagro, also had no choice but to use the first timeout. Griffin seemed to have turned into a black hole in possession of the ball in these few minutes. ball.Maybe he hasn't gotten used to it yet. Beside him, there are superstars like Paul who once had the second MVP at their peak, Billups, an old but still strong FMVP, and Butler. Such a two-time All-Star veteran.What the team needs now is not his style of play like he was leveled last season, but needs him to have enough tacit understanding with the teammates around him.

De Nagro chose to let the "White Warcraft" end to calm down first, and replaced Gomez. This moment of substitution also activated the Clippers.The Clippers' three new aids were all veterans in the starting line-up. With the help of Jordan's cover, Paul went straight to the inside and faced the supplementary defense and passed to Billups who came in from an air cut. Not greedy for merit, when Iguodala moved laterally, he passed it to Butler who followed up in the middle, and directly took off for a dunk. The 3-year-old small forward was using his performance to tell everyone present: he can still fly!

"These newcomers from the Clippers have a tacit understanding! From these few passes, it can be seen that they have worked hard in this season's joint training." Smith saw this beautiful goal in his eyes.

"Paul, Billups are all master-level control players. If it weren't for Griffin, who started to get ahead, he wouldn't be behind now. This is why I am more optimistic about the Clippers!" Although the Clippers are still behind , Barkley's face was full of confidence when he saw the ball.

"So what? Is he also a master?" Smith asked this sentence with a "kind" smile on his face.

"He? He just performed well last season, and this season will definitely not work. This season, there will be targeted defense." Barkley's habit of blowing up when he heard He still hasn't changed, and he immediately made a decision. flag.
