After changing careers, I ruled an era in the NBA

Without waiting for Paul to counterattack, Su Jiuyun continued:

"As I said, we won a victory here last time, but you forgot it so quickly. Do you want me to help you recall it? I remember it was my winning goal, right?

So where do you have the confidence to defeat us? Even if you win, it's only 1:1. What's there to be proud of? If I were you, I should shut up and say nothing. "

After Su Jiuyun finished speaking, he ignored Paul, turned around and walked away.

When Su Jiuyun and Paul stood together and had a verbal exchange, many people had already noticed it, but when they saw Su Jiuyun's cheerful smile and Paul's face full of dark clouds, they didn't know that Paul was at a disadvantage during the exchange. .

Claude looked at Paul with some sympathy. Isn't this person stupid? It would be better if the boss guy didn't troll others, but you still come to the door to troll, hey!

The game started very quickly. Paul showed a strong desire to attack as soon as he came up. He took the first two attacks of the Clippers and hit both mid-range shots.

The Clippers lead the Mavericks 4-0.

This made Paul wave his fist and roar while returning to defense, as if this could vent his inner depression.

Su Jiuyun was slapped in the face twice by Paul with a pull-up jump shot. He was not annoyed and did not fight back forcefully. Instead, he did his best to break through and connect the team.

Troy Murphy, who replaced Nowitzki as the starter in this game, hit a 3-pointer after picking and rolling with Su Jiuyun, 4:3.

As the game progressed, everyone originally thought that the Clippers, with their 15-game winning streak, would be able to completely crush the Mavericks, who were missing Nowitzki, with their winning streak.

But after the first quarter, the score on the court was 27:29, and the Mavericks were only 2 points behind. Only then did the fans at the scene remember that it was this Mavericks team that beat the Clippers here last time.

The atmosphere on the Clippers bench was not very good, because Paul and Griffin were sullen.

In the first quarter, he made 8 of 5 shots and scored 12 points, but the Clippers only led by 2 points. The guy on the opposite side didn't take many shots in the first quarter and connected the team, making the team's outside shots open. , allowing the Mavericks to withstand the Clippers' offense.

Paul was a little speechless. He used that guy's usual playing style, but that guy played his usual playing style. How could this be a bit ironic?

The reason why Griffin is sullen is because he is dissatisfied with Paul. It can be said that the two of them are fighting openly and secretly over who is the boss.

His performance in the past month can be said to be qualified to be the team leader, but his opponent is Paul, so he actually does not feel that he can stabilize Paul. He feels that the best thing is the status of the two of them in the team. equality.

But in the past first quarter, as the team's leading scorer, I only got 4 shots, while Paul, a point guard who is famous for connecting the team, took 8 shots. Are you suppressing yourself?

Unlike the Clippers, whose atmosphere was a bit depressing, the Mavericks' bench was very active. After all, they didn't want to go all out to win, but they performed well in the first quarter. If it weren't for Paul and Griffin, The efficiency is a bit high and none of them will fall behind.

The second quarter started quickly, and the substitute lineup led by Collison, Marion, Kaman, and Brand began to launch a counterattack against the Clippers.

The Clippers' bench is led by Crawford, Barnes, and the already broken Odom.

Su Jiuyun saw that Odom's offensive and defensive performance on the court with his big bald head was simply a disaster. Brand and Marion caught him and beat him to death.

In just 3 minutes, the Mavericks went on a 9:3 spurt to take the lead, forcing the Clippers to call a timeout.

After returning from the timeout, Denagro replaced Odom and replaced Griffin.

This substitution had an immediate impact. Griffin tried to be an organizational power forward. He still had good vision and did a good job in personal offense and connecting the team. He immediately turned the situation around.

But when Paul came on the court and returned to the rhythm of the first quarter, the Clippers fell into a strange struggle again.

At halftime, the Mavericks led by one point.

The fans at the scene were numb. At first, the boos to Su Jiuyun were loud, but slowly, they became quieter.

At halftime, they were in no mood to boo, because the rookie they hated the most contributed 8 points and 7 assists in the half to lead the Mavericks by one point.

They all have shadows. Will this guy lead another victory from here?

However, not long after the second half started, they became nervous again, because the Clippers who had won 15 consecutive games were back, and the players returned to their positions.

In the first half, Paul returned to his original style of play, and Griffin became the first attacker again, and also became more intense on the defensive end. The Mavericks started to work hard.

The Mavericks were beaten 10:2, and Carlisle quickly called a timeout.

Although I didn’t think about going all out to win the game, I couldn’t be crippled.

After returning, Su Jiuyun knew that he needed to stand up at this time.

He held the ball, gestured to Murphy, and used his pick-and-roll to get in. He leaned on Butler who was chasing him while moving, and made a tough layup and hit the ball off the board.

Starting from this ball, Su Jiuyun began to strengthen his aggressiveness.

It's just that without Nowitzki, although Mayo performed very well in this game and scored 22 points, the defensive threat to the Clippers has dropped by one level.

Su Jiuyun alone still couldn't resist the Clippers who were at their peak.

In the end, the Mavericks lost to the Clippers 103:110 on the road.

At the end of the game, the Mavericks players were still in a good mood, but the Clippers' Paul and Griffin were not so beautiful, because they really struggled to defeat the Mavericks without Nowitzki.

At the post-game press conference, when reporters asked about their feelings about once again raising the Clippers' record for the longest winning streak in franchise history to 16 games, the two of them just dismissed it casually.

As for the Mavericks, Su Jiuyun doesn't shy away from losing at all.

But when a local reporter in Los Angeles asked him:

"Go, you said the Clippers with Paul couldn't win the championship, but they are now number one in the league."

Su Jiuyun looked at him like an idiot and said lightly:

"So what? Does being first in the league mean we can win the championship?

And look at the games between them and strong teams!

We were mentally prepared for this game, and we fought hard to win, but unfortunately, we fell short.

But are we a top team?

No, we were just considered by the outside world to be a team at the bottom of the league before the season!

But even for such a team, the match against the Clippers this season was only 1:1, and our leader Dirk has not yet played. "
