NBA: I am the card dealer

After the Lakers won this game, their record reached 40 wins and 31 losses, while the Clippers' record became 42 wins and 30 losses. The winning difference between the two sides suddenly increased to 1.5 games, which can be said to be close at hand.

薛连城绝对是本场获胜的最大功臣，全场23投13中，三分14投8中，罚球9中8，疯狂揽下42分13助攻9篮板。

Especially when the Clippers flanked him, he used three-pointers to open up a wide space for his teammates.

George made 19 of 8, and his performance was relatively average. However, he still scored 24 points and 7 rebounds with free throws.

Randall scored 17 points and 8 rebounds, and Feng Lei scored 13 points. Together, they contributed 30 points and made great contributions to the team.

Others' performance was relatively average.

As for the Clippers.

After the game.

This team is none other than the Portland Trail Blazers.

"Xiao Li! It's not like you who cheated me. If it doesn't work, let's not do this. Save some face for me."

Another reporter asked more bluntly: "The loss of this game means that the Clippers may be surpassed by the Lakers at any time. Is what you said originally still valid?"

In other words, in terms of leading the team's offense, Paul's performance in this game was relatively weak and did not achieve the expected results.

"Come on! Jump and let us see."

At the press conference, everyone caught the old Rivers asking questions.

Old Rivers is still categorical: "There is no doubt that we have the strength, and we are not afraid of challenges."

Therefore, he didn't make any big claims.

This time, the Lakers directly pushed the Clippers to the ground and repeatedly stepped on the Clippers' face. The feeling was really like an unparalleled opening.

This can also see a trend in the league. The Cyclone is indeed too fierce, and the center position has become a bit awkward.

Coupled with Paul's four three-pointers and Crawford's three three-pointers, they almost set off an offensive frenzy in the last quarter.

Checking in for three quarters now barely buys me some rest time.

With so much talent, they have returned to the familiar bottom of the Western Conference despite being optimistic at the beginning of the season. It is really surprising.

Redick made 15 of 7 and 9 of 4 three-pointers, scoring a total of 18 points. The three-pointers are still very stable.

The conflict between the Lakers and Clippers is so huge and its impact is so wide, it is extremely rare.

"First round trip + worst record + less than 50 wins, we are indeed on the verge of disbandment."

If there is an accident, it's hard to tell.

Say it.

The commentator concluded: "Remembering the old Rivers' vow, I wonder if he ever thought that there would be such a day. According to the current momentum of the Lakers, replacing the Clippers at the end of the season is basically a certainty."

And what about Wiggins?

So far, I haven't even smelled anything about the playoffs. Although the average data per game looks good, it has just touched the quasi-All-Star level, and there is not even a single honor in hand.

"You're a bunch of cowards. Xue Liancheng said he's going to hit the top four, but you still don't accept it?"

But now things are getting serious, and the Lakers are really catching up.

"Do they still want to be embarrassed? They were shouting so much before the game started, but after the game started, they all lay down."

Except for the old Rivers who was tortured, the rest of the Clippers were not as good as they were.

Xue Liancheng: "It should be during the last fight at the latest."

Looking at it now, it's full of irony.

This season, the Lakers, who are at the bottom, have been dragged out of the quagmire, and their dominance is clearly evident.

This result was something no one expected.

Reporter: "In which game do you predict that you will surpass the Clippers?"

Some reporters also came to interview Xue Liancheng.

After all, according to the current momentum of the Lakers, the next schedule will definitely be unstoppable. As long as there are no accidents, it will be a matter of time before surpassing the Clippers.

This is really a pot that should not be raised. Old Rivers' face turned green again, but he was still calm and used the old trick to fool him: "I will never let such a thing happen. I believe in myself, and I will do better." Believe in my players.”

Nothing is settled yet, this is his last struggle.

But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem strange.

After the Clippers lost the game, they were directly ridiculed by the people.

"They are very arrogant with their talk. When they come to the arena, they are all soft-footed."

Old Rivers looked like a pig and his face turned green. "It's not over yet. I don't understand why you are so sure that we will lose? Besides, we are the ones in the lead, and they are the chasers." "

"Who is the No. 14 pick in ?" 》

At this time, the sarcastic voice almost drowned everyone on the Clippers.

After the game.

The heat of the battle between the Lakers and Clippers is dissipating, and the Lakers are once again on the road to meet the challenge of the Timberwolves at home.

Reporter: "After losing this game, the Clippers' record has dropped to 42 wins and 30 losses, and they are only 1.5 games ahead of the Lakers. With ten games left, do you still have the confidence to occupy the fifth position in the Western Conference? ?”

"According to the current situation, there is a high probability that the Clippers will enter the playoffs as sixth. Their opponent is the Houston Rockets. The Rockets are not in trouble this season. There is a high probability that they will not make it through."

"I don't know where they got the nerve to think that their position in the top four is as secure as Mount Tai."

Even if he has reached this height now, he will still inevitably get angry when faced with the contempt and ridicule of some people.

Entering the league in 14, Xue Liancheng has won two consecutive MVPs, two consecutive championships, two consecutive FMVPs, two consecutive All-NBA Teams, two consecutive assists kings, and one scoring title.

Reporter: "This means that you are confident that you will completely surpass the Clippers next?"

"A hug between true champions?" 》

of course.

In the fourth quarter, the Clippers wanted to counterattack, and they did show momentum, but the Lakers have a talisman like Xue Liancheng. Basically, unless you can defy the odds, otherwise, if you are so far behind and want to come back, the expansion rate is almost zero.

It is now the end of the season, and the Timberwolves have only achieved a record of 27 wins and 43 losses, basically declaring that the season is over early.

Many media lamented that the Timberwolves' visible talent was wasted.

Reporter: "We are one step closer to the goal you originally set. What do you want to say?"

But Wiggins doesn't have these things.

As mortal rivals in the same city, the Clippers and Lakers are considered the most direct competitors.

After the game.

As for the crotch-pulling point, it was Rivers Jr., who scored 9 points on 1-for-5, and personally sent his old father to the execution platform to be tortured.

Xue Liancheng and Wiggins hugged and greeted each other. It was natural for them to exchange greetings when meeting old friends.

The media naturally wanted to use Wiggins to make some arrangements to gain some traffic.

Many fans left messages on Twitter for Paul, Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, and Rivers Jr.

But having said that, not fighting or grabbing is not necessarily a good thing in the world of sports competition, because the core of competition is a competitive spirit, a strong spiritual core and an extremely tenacious will.
