Chapter 721 [Completely Reversed, Fake Fax]
On the second day of the All-Star Game, the Clippers will face the Timberwolves at home.
Several players returned to Los Angeles on Yang Rui's private plane. Even so, they consumed a lot of physical and energy over the weekend and could not adjust to their condition.
Yang Rui was even more exhausted physically and mentally. He flew east and west at night for two consecutive days and was too lazy to move after returning home.
He has also been very tired at home in the past month. Stana and Scarlett are pestering him. He is about to be squeezed out. He really wants to cancel all the team's morning training or let the players practice casually, but that is not possible. possible.
No matter how talented the players are, without adequate training and tactical adjustment, it is difficult to maintain competitive status.
Then, the hidden danger of fatigue appeared, and the Clippers lost to the Timberwolves 103-106 at home.
The Timberwolves are not weak this year and should be able to make the playoffs, with 18 wins and 17 losses. If Beasley, Foye, and Mbah a Moute had not been injured one after another, the record would have been better, and Jefferson was selected as an All-Star.
Today Al Jefferson and Michael Beasley started together, small forward Luke Mbah a Moute, shooting guard Randy Foye, and point guard Rubio. This lineup has three points, defense, and inside attack.
The Bucks gave up on blue-collar Mbah a Moute after signing Mike Dunleavy and drafting Wesley Johnson. This was the most serious mistake. Although Mbah a Moute is poor offensively, he is indeed one of the best defensive wing players in the league. Without him, the Bucks' perimeter defense has declined significantly.
The Timberwolves do not have a superstar, and their success lies in the fact that the substitutes and starters are equally strong. Nikola Pekovic is a heavy inside man who is good at attacking in the low post. Derrick Williams is a replica of Beasley. The point guard is Barea who is good at breakthroughs, Ridnour is a combo guard, and the small forward and shooter Webster are there.
Derrick Williams had a fit today. He made 9 of 10 shots, 4 of 4 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 27 points and 5 rebounds. He almost got a 100% shooting percentage. Griffin, Parsons is a bit skeptical about life.
Yang Rui made a mistake in this game and gave Faried a rest. If the beast power forward is allowed to face Derek, who is very physical, the situation will be better.
The three outside players Curry, Paul, and Korver were not accurate enough and failed to break the Timberwolves' flawless zone defense system.
On March 1st, the Clippers breathed a sigh of relief. They were playing on the road against the underdog Kings. They didn't have to travel far, they could just take a bus to the game.
Cousins' strength has improved a lot, but he can't pass Chandler. Irving and Thornton are both offensive guards with strong offense and weak defense. The substitute Isiah Thomas is a defensive black hole and cannot guard Curry.
Chuck Hayes used to defend very hard, but now his strength is not as good as before. The Clippers won 118 to 100.
There is a person on the Kings bench that Yang Rui cares about very much, Hassan Whiteside, who will be nicknamed "Whiteside" in the future. He only played 6 minutes as a substitute in garbage time, did not score a point, made 0 of 2 shots, 0 of 2 free throws, and only grabbed two rebounds.
Now Whiteside is a guy who doesn't know where to stand on both offense and defense, and his golf quotient is extremely low. He is also a mentally retarded child. Although Cousins commits many fouls and has a bad temper, at least he has skills. He has nothing, he is just a rough guy.
Thinking of this guy's future achievements, in the peak season of 16-17, he averaged 32.7 minutes per game, 17 points, 14.1 rebounds, 2.1 blocks, 55.7% field goal percentage, and developed a mid-range shot... Yang Rui really feels that he will play in the Chinese CBA. At that time, he was snatched away by someone's soul and reborn. He had never seen a person change so completely.
Now, the Kings are unwilling to give him even a basic salary and will not renew his contract after the season. In the future, he will receive a maximum salary with the Heat and is one of the most valuable players in the league.
Whiteside is the focus of Yang Rui's investigation. As a future signing target, don't worry about him now. It's too useless.
On the 2nd, the Clippers beat the Suns 105-81 in back-to-back away games.
The Suns also have a chance to make the playoffs, and their performance is much better than Yang Rui's previous life. Nash replaced Tyreke Evans.
The defense at position 2 was strengthened, Dragic did not go to the Rockets, and the data soared.
The Suns also signed veteran Michael Reed. Probably because Reed did not join the Bucks, his injury during his time with the Pacers was not very serious. After joining, he regained his second youth under the treatment of the Suns' miracle doctor. He has accurate concentration and averages 12.2 points per game. He is an excellent role player.
In the frontcourt, Channing Frye, Markieff Morris, Jared Dudley, and Childress can all shoot three-pointers, and Robin Lopez is a good meat shield center.
The evaluations of Nash and Evans are completely reversed. Evans has the shadow of the best rookie in the fast-paced team, averaging 18.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game, while Nash has become synonymous with "defensive black hole". Many people suggested trading him out and replacing him with a strong man, otherwise Jeremy Lin would not be able to start the starting lineup when he comes back.
The Clippers defeated the Rockets and Timberwolves again, achieving a 4-game winning streak and regaining the feeling of winning.
Against the Rockets, Yang Rui arranged positional tactics and fought hard to defend, 94 to 70, making it difficult for the opponent to score.
Against the Timberwolves, the Clippers fought in the same position, slowing down the pace to ensure efficiency, and won 94 to 85.
Defense comes first, do not compete with others for running and gunning, Chandler, Tony Allen and others have their place to play. In positional offense, the defenders constantly cover, trying to get out of position against the two slow meat shield centers and break through them. .
Al Jefferson is a famous double-double machine, but his defense has been criticized, and Pekovic is slower than him.
The two forwards of the Timberwolves are back to normal, and they can't beat the Clippers without convulsions.
While the Clippers were on a winning streak, the Lakers began to lose. Jeremy Lin's enthusiasm has slowly cooled down, his data has declined, and the craziness is no longer there.
The fans really want to say that all this has nothing to do with Kobe's comeback. It's Jeremy Lin who turned from a star to a CBA teammate, but they are not very convincing.
Kobe seemed to want to prove his status as the boss. In the first game after his comeback, he took 27 shots and made 13 field goals. He made 3 of 6 three-pointers and 7 of 8 free throws. He scored 36 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. He was in great shape.
In the next three games, Kobe also scored 30+, but the Lakers had 2 wins and 2 losses, losing to the Celtics and Mavericks.
On March 6, the Lakers' uneven shooting situation reached an extreme, and they lost to the Pistons 85-88 in an upset away game.
Kobe continued to shoot high, making 8 of 26 shots, 2 of 9 three-pointers, 4 of 6 free throws, and scored 22 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists with a 30.8% shooting rate.
Love made 13 of 18 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers, 4 of 5 free throws, and scored 30 points, 14 rebounds, and 2 assists. Gasol made 8 of 14 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 20 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 blocks.
Except for the three of them, no one from the Lakers scored in double figures, returning to the old ways at the beginning of the season.
Jeremy Lin played 32 minutes, 1 of 2 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointers, 2 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal. Luol Deng made 2 of 8 shots, 0 of 3 three-pointers, 4 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals. Steals.
During the 11-game winning streak, the two outside stars who performed extremely well were transformed into complete losers as soon as Kobe came back.
Jeremy Lin made two shots in 32 minutes, and the Los Angeles media used the word "unbelievable" to describe it.
Kobe simply regarded Jeremy Lin as his class enemy. As long as he caught the ball, he would never pass it back to Jeremy Lin. He would shake Jeremy Lin several times every game.
Some fans online suggested: "The next generation NBA 2K game should add a special skill to Kobe Bryant, the 'Fake Shot', which can be activated by just pressing the pass button, so that Kobe will have a pass button."
Many Komi don't know how to clear their idols, saying that Jeremy Lin will definitely not be able to make a shot? During the Linsanity period, how did he make shots and scores?
