~.《》~     Chapter 306

The Clippers beat the Nuggets 160-114 with 46 points.

It has been a long time since the team scored 160 points in a single game. Although this is not the highest score record in a single game in the NBA, the Clippers did not play overtime and averaged 40 points per quarter. Of course, the premise is that the Nuggets' inside line is too bad today, and there is no inside line in the fourth quarter...

Ye Feng scored a game-high 41 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 block in 30 minutes. Wright was in an amazing state, scoring 33 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, playing the most beautiful game since he entered the NBA.

The Clippers scored 8 players in double digits, Sorton, Curry, O'Neal, Gott, Smith, and Love also performed well.

Ye Feng performed very low-key at the press conference. He said: "Today this is not a normal Nuggets. They did not perform at the level. Nene and Martin's absence are the main reason why we can score so many points. It is a wonderful game, but it is not worth being proud of."

Thibodeau specifically mentioned Wright and Gott. "Wright played like an All-Star in this game, but he still needs to prove himself with a stable state. Gott's low post offense today is very beautiful, which is unexpected."

Gottt performed well, and Chinese journalists were very concerned about Yi Jianlian's appearance. Yi Jianlian played beautiful data at the World Championships. Chinese fans thought he would be valued in the Clippers, but they didn't expect that they could not even enter the team's 12-man roster.

Thibodeau said: "Yi Jianlian is a very good player. I believe he can help the team, but he still needs to prepare to integrate into the team. Now he has some problems with the Clippers' tactical understanding and cannot keep up with the pace. He will get a chance to play in the future."

Gotat's defense is better than Yi Jianlian, and he can also get a mid-range shot and withdraw from the inside. In a very short playing time, Gotat is more efficient. Thibodeau will not consider letting Yi Jianlian play for the time being.

Chinese reporters also asked Ye Feng to comment on Yi Jianlian. Ye Feng admitted that his psychological quality still needs to be strengthened. This topic has been discussed for two years and is nothing new. Chinese reporters can also accept this answer.

Another reporter asked: "Ye, will you strive to win the scoring champion this season?"

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Yes, I will try my best to score. My teammates have good hands and have advantages in their matches. I will also be willing to pass the ball to them. This mainly depends on the opponent's situation."

A big victory greatly boosted the morale of the team.

The next day, in addition to reporting the results of each game, the news also made a comparison between the Heat and the Clippers. Experts are more optimistic about the Clippers. Although the Heat have the best starting lineup in the league, they are not very strong inside. If they meet a team that is good at playing low-post offense, they may suffer losses, and the Clippers can play all tactics.

The Heat are also very clear about this situation and are beginning to consider what methods to strengthen it.

On the 7th, the Clippers faced the Utah Jazz back to back.

It is easy to win in the game, the main players did not consume much physical strength, and the players were full of confidence. The Jazz's record this season was 3 wins and 2 losses, which can only be considered average.

Al Jefferson's joining improved the strength of the inside, but Memit Oku was injured again and could only return at the end of the regular season. So Jefferson reached the center position, and the power forward was Paul Millsap. Both of them were in the inside type who lacked height and were strong.

This season, the Jazz also introduced defensive champion Raja Bale to make up for the vacancy of Ronnie Brewer's departure. With the "ak47" Kirirenko, star point guard Deron Williams, he is not weak. Unfortunately, the substitute still has not been well strengthened, and only signed a contract with the excellent jumper Jeremy Evans, small forward Gordon Hayward.

In dealing with the Jazz, the Clippers changed their team again, Love and McGee partnered with the inside, Smith served as small forward, Ye Feng's shooting guard, and point guard Kidd.

Although Bale has good defense, he is very thin to the outside. How can he withstand Ye Feng? Smith also started and increased the impact of the No. 3 position. In this way, if Millsap is to defend Ye Feng, Love who is pulled to the outside after being misaligned will only be Bale or Kirilianko, who is not strong enough.

Facts proved that Thibodeau's plan was completely successful. Love scored 9 points in the first quarter, and Smith and Ye Feng also performed well.

The second team Curry, Thorton, Barnes, Gott and O'Neal played a beautiful combination of inside and outside, which also made the Jazz substitute unable to fight back.

The Jazz also caused some trouble for the Clippers. Al Jefferson scored 18 points, 10 assists, 3 rebounds, 3 blocks; Millsap scored 25 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists; Deron Williams scored 30 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, hitting Kidd. This season, Kidd's data has dropped again, and his playing time has been shortened to 28 minutes, and he averaged 5 points, 4 rebounds, 5.5 assists per game.

However, the Clippers' offense was too sharp and the Jazz couldn't defend themselves, especially in the second quarter when O'Neal played Elson, Feshenko was too easy. The Clippers won the game 123 to 109 in the whole game.

On November 9, the Clippers faced Sherlock Hornets.

After Paul's comeback, the Hornets became a strong team again, with 4 wins and 2 losses in the new season, but their lineup still has a big problem. This season, the butterfly effect caused by Ye Feng has become more and more obvious.

In his previous life, the Hornets, Nets, Pacers, and Rockets made a four-party trade.

The Houston Rockets sent Ariza to the Hornets, and the Hornets sent defender Collison and veteran James Percy to the Pacers. The Pacers sent Troy Murphy to the New Jersey Nets, and the Nets sent Cootney Lee to the Rockets.

But now, the Nets have introduced three inside players, including Louis Scola, DeAndrew Jordan, and Chuck Hayes, and the former team's Brooke Lopez and Chris Humphries, who already have five inside players and no longer need Murphy. This is more than the deal has not been reached.

So the Hornets failed to get Ariza's reinforcement and blocked the line, and only introduced Joe Alexander, Jerred Bayless, the former Raptors' Italian Belinelli, the 76ers' Willy Green, and the Lakers' DJ Mbenga.

The starting lineup of the trio cannot defeat the Clippers. James Percy, who has declined seriously, has entered the starting lineup of the Hornets. Stojakovic is already aborted, and the Hornets have to pay him the superstar’s salary. The shooting guard is Belinelli’s starting lineup, and he has no height and no confrontation with people who can only shoot.

This summer, Paul expressed his remarks that he wanted to leave the New Orleans Hornets.

Many experts believe that Paul should not follow LeBron. James will leave the Hornets easily, which will be a huge harm to the NBA league.

Experts say that during this offseason, many big-name players left their original teams. James left the Cleveland Cavaliers, Chris Bosh left the Toronto Raptors, Amal Stoudemire left the Phoenix Suns, and Cameron Anthony seemed to be leaving the Denver Nuggets. This seemed to have become the main theme of the NBA. All players are completing the migration from small cities to big cities, and they also hope to fight with other superstars.

Nowadays, the NBA is tilting towards a certain trend. It seems that the league has formed an era where large-scale transactions are required at any time. Any heavyweight transaction can happen at any time. What is the final result? Rich people become richer, but other teams are frustrated because of this. For example, if Paul joins New York, Cleveland, Toronto and New Orleans will become abandoned by the NBA, and there is no star in their lineup that can attract box office. If the situation of 30 NBA teams in the championship eventually becomes a seven-star battle, the remaining 23 teams are useless. It will be difficult for these 23 teams to sell their tickets in their city, and the result will be very terrifying.

However, Paul really can't stand the Hornets, and the team's operating conditions are very poor now. Since Hornets owner George Sheehan suffers from prostate cancer, he plans to sell the team's shares, but a year has passed and no boss is willing to take over. There is currently news that the NBA official is considering buying the Hornets.

This approach undoubtedly draws on the practice of Major League Baseball. In 2005, the Major League Baseball acquired the Montreal Expo team and temporarily retained it in the original city of Washington until someone took over. The NBA also intends to buy the team first so that the Hornets can continue to stay in New Orleans. Soon, Paul and his Hornets will become the first team in league history controlled by the NBA. How can one win the championship in such a team? Will the NBA official help them introduce big-name players? That is impossible.

The Hornets are close to reconstruction and there is no more fighting spirit left. This season, they may rely on the efforts of Paul, West and Okafor to enter the playoffs, but they will not go further.

After only three quarters of this game, the Hornets fell behind by a big score and gave up the game. The Clippers won 119-92 27 points.

Percy is almost retired, and his defense is not as good as before. Ye Feng easily beat him up and scored 31 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. The Hornets had no choice but to deal with him.

Paul was also defended in this game, only scored 15 points, 7 assists and 3 steals. Curry started in this game, and he was better at defending against Paul than veteran Kidd.

The Clippers won 8 consecutive victories and made great progress. The next game is still away, facing the San Antonio Spurs on Singles' Day on November 11.

In the past two seasons, the Clippers had the upper hand against the Spurs because the Spurs were not fast enough, the core was veterans, and the substitutes also lacked impact. They could use their speed advantage to break the opponent's defense. Now it's different. This season, the Spurs have introduced many new players through trades and drafts.

Experts are not optimistic about the Spurs, believing that their core is old and has lost Bruce. Bowen has also declined in defensive ability. After the start of the new season, the Spurs' condition is somewhat beyond people's expectations. Now they are 6 wins and 1 loss, ranking second in the West, second only to the Clippers.

Thibodeau warned players to cheer up and not to underestimate the Spurs, as this would not be an easy game.
