Chapter 203 Can be announced before the fight starts

At [-]:[-] p.m., the game between the Clippers and the Mavericks started, and Time Warner in the California area broadcast the game live, and the audience was full.

The starting lineup for the Clippers is point guard Su Yang, shooting guard Ray Allen, small forward Iguodala, power forward Varejao, center Chris Kaman, and the substitutes include Payton, Hill, Milicic, Brad Landon Bass, Wilkins and Barnes, plus Azubuike and Will Bynum, and two veterans with two-way contracts, a total of 15 people form the preseason lineup.

Commentator and Lakers star James Worthy commented: "Compared to last season, the Clippers' starting lineup has become stronger, but in order to get Ray Allen, they reluctantly let go of Bobby Simmons and Marko Jaric. At the same time, trading Maggette will greatly reduce the strength of their bench lineup, which will weaken their dominance in the regular season, unless Su Yang is willing to play more time.

I guess Su Yang will try to use as little energy as possible when pairing multiple starting players, and choose to lead the bench more in the transition. If he does that, he will have the advantage of crushing the bench of other teams and can maintain data and more efficiently. record.

How do you ask?

It's very simple. Su Yang starts after 4 minutes and leaves the field. Let Payton play point guard. He will reappear when there are 2 or 3 minutes left in the first quarter. At that time, the opponent's main players have already rested. anything.

Just imagine, the Clippers against the Lakers.

Su Yang faced Smush Parker in the transition period, what kind of super efficient scoring scene would that be?
Yes, it's a shame.

But the Clippers' starting lineup supports him to do that. He can play in a staggered peak and play super efficient, but it is difficult for him to win the MVP in a row, because the Clippers won 70 games last season, and he is still the leader in scoring, assists and steals. , It is already difficult to have room for improvement, unless the data is higher than the average of 33.34 points per game, and the data such as 70+ points in a single game..."

Between comments, Su Yang glanced at the Mavericks' starting lineup and found that Dampier was actually replaced by Diop.

Before listening to the coaching staff’s introduction on how to play the Mavericks, Spot mentioned that Diop’s inside defense is very good. He used to be in the Cavaliers last season and defended O’Neal many times. data.

In short, as a beneficiary of the high school insider blowout, and a necessity for defensive meat shields in the insider era such as O'Neal, Dayao, and Duncan, Diop is still a favorite in the insider market despite only scoring 134 goals in the first four seasons. .

Diop's positioning is similar to Heywood, Hunter, Cato and Wright, who specialize in carrying the opponent's super insiders.

It's a pity that as a center with no offensive ability, it is really difficult to match with LeBron, and the Cavaliers can only reluctantly give up.

"This size! 213 cm/142 kg, it's very close to O'Neill. No wonder he can prevent O'Neill who has fallen so hard to enter the penalty area..." Su Yang couldn't help but glanced at Kaman, wishing Kaman silently in his heart not to try to beat the opponent.

After thinking about it, the Clippers won the jump ball.

Su Yang wanted to test the touch of a jumper with an emergency stop around the screen, and directly called Kaman to go up the wall to block Terry, and rushed to the free throw line with a pull. Mid-range shot, easily hollowed into the net to score.

Immediately afterwards, Ray Allen also took the ball to cover, met Diop and made a mid-range shot from an emergency stop, and also easily scored the ball.

After the third attack, the Clippers played a slip tactic. After Varejao went up and finished the screen, he turned around and rushed to the basket with Kaman's screen. Diop, who should be responsible for the delay, was huge and slow, and he couldn't catch up at all. Up, easy no-op.

On the fourth offense, Iguodala slid the bottom line to find Kaman to cover, stopped and ran back, and used Diop's huge size to block Josh Howard's opportunity in the opposite direction. The training games are generally easy.

Diop frame guards are really good.

But the Clippers didn't attack the basket for four consecutive offenses, and they didn't hit hard from the inside, and they beat him hard because of his speed disadvantage.

The situation became a bit embarrassing, but the Mavericks coach Avery did not choose to remove Diop, but directed the cover, trying to prevent Diop from becoming more embarrassing by gambling the Clippers' long-range shots. Improving.

Su Yang was not polite at all, and teamed up with Ray Allen to take turns to shoot three-pointers, and he was directly defeated in a wave of 7-for-6.

Diop is far inferior to Dampier in many ways.

The Clippers ended the first quarter with a 22-point lead, and Mavericks owner Mark Cuban sat dumbfounded in the stands.

Back on the bench, Su Yang and Ray Allen laughed. They really didn't expect to enjoy such a defensive routine. The Mavericks actually used the method of going around the screen to defend two three-pointers with the ball. Don't be too embarrassing for the center forward who came out.

It can only be said that the young general Avery Johnson's thinking is different from that of ordinary coaches. Cuban was also dazzled by the 16-2 record after the old Nelson left, thinking that Avery Johnson was the answer to the Mavericks coaching bench. I found a treasure.

James Worthy in the live broadcast seat made a comment: "A pure blue-collar center without a speed advantage will soon lose job opportunities because of the three-point storm brought by Su Yang and Ray Allen. Strong delays and defense changes will become more popular. The entire league will have to make changes following the Clippers' offensive and defensive strategies, and the center's dominance will be greatly weakened, and the striker's era has come."

Then the second quarter started.

Su Yang rested off the court and observed the training effects of several substitute teammates with the coaching staff, mainly Milicic.Spoelstra was not in a hurry, first let Milicic take charge of the high position support, and Milicic assisted Hill and Bass in succession, passing the ball with one hand was a bit like Jokic, but I don’t know if he was too nervous, he was emptied by Dampier 5 times , only hits 1 time.

Taking advantage of the timeout, Su Yang encouraged Milicic: "Don't be nervous, shoot casually, you have played too little in the past two seasons, this preseason is to adapt to the rhythm..." Between the words, out of the corner of his eye, Kaka Man has a complicated look on his face.

When Milicic reappeared, Su Yang thought twice and talked with Kaman on the bench about positioning.

It was originally planned to let Milicic start directly, but that is really unreasonable. After all, although Kaman only averaged 9.1 points per game last season, Milicic is not a well-known player, and he still needs to go to prove himself the process of.

Su Yang and the coaching staff are blind to Milicic's attention, and it will be a matter of time to replace Kaman in the starting lineup.

The direct consequence of that is that Kaman's data cannot be improved quickly. After the rookie contract ends, the contract will be relatively small, and may even be sent to other teams by the Clippers in advance. In theory, it is difficult for Kaman to play a sixth overall pick. Some worth.

"Chris, are you worried that your personal data will be affected?" Su Yang asked directly, mainly last season, although Kaman was occasionally removed from the starting lineup, but most of the time he was the starting lineup. This season, the substitutes will definitely be all substitutes. .

No way, Milicic's ability covers Kaman in all directions, not just the movement speed like Wilcox.

"Yes, but Coach Spoelstra said that I will get more independent offensive opportunities this season, so I can accept it..." Kaman recalled last season, although he averaged 9.1 points per game, but most of the time he was eating cakes. Rarely plays low post.

That's something that can only be accepted. Last season's lineup, Su Yang + Maggette, didn't have the turn to attack in the low post.

If it is a steady substitute this season, it will be a good thing to be able to practice more low-post offense, and it will be more beneficial to a big contract.

"I'm glad you can think that way."

Su Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will play more in the transitional stage to help you create more opportunities."

I have discussed with Spoelstra before that this season we will spend more time in transition to ensure the continuity of scoring and defense, and try to minimize the situation of being wiped out by the opponent's transition period in the previous season, or even being overtaken. .

During the chat, Milicic hit the free throw line one after another on the field, showing the soft touch of a European big man, and also showing the defensive bonus of a player with the name "Sic". Let Dampiermont circle.

Because of Nowitzki's truce, the game was completely one-sided. The Mavericks could not attack and defend, like a CBA team.

After the game, the Clippers won by 35 points.

Participating in the press conference after the game, the host asked what he thought of James Worthy's point of view that the Clippers had weakened the bench because of the trade of Ray Allen. Su Yang replied: "From a philosophical point of view, Worthy didn't realize that things Always in development, not to mention our difficulty re-signing Bobby Simmons and Marko Jaric, and neglecting the growth of Wilkins and Barnes.

He also ignored the joining of Darko Milicic. In the game just ended, Darko sent 7 assists.

More critically, our team is a whole, not a starter or a substitute, and the role of certain players cannot be divided separately, just like I start and the point guard has fierce firepower, but if I start with Payton, I can avoid double-teaming problems . "

After a day off, the Clippers will face the Kings.

The King acquired Bunch Wells through a trade in the offseason, but let go of the old cat Mobley. The lineup has not been upgraded. Peja is not capable of being the boss of a team at all. The management is purely mixed. Death, thanks to Adelman.

Adelman is also good at discovering talents. After the opening, he gave most of the ball to Kevin Martin, obviously intending to focus on training, and Ray Allen did not seriously defend. Look like an All-Star.

Su Yang originally planned to switch defenses, but it's still a big deal after thinking about it. After all, in the preseason, he sat on the bench to rest. In the second quarter, he followed Milicic on the stage and continued to practice Milicic's coping ability. The cooperation was quite smooth. , a bit of a library chasing feeling.

After the whole game, the Clippers won another 20 points.

The offensive efficiency is too high. In the third quarter, the Kings were beaten in a wave. Su Yang and Ray Allen only had 5 minutes in the second half.

After beating the Kings, the Clippers flew to Arizona overnight.

Barnes and others complained crazily that they even had to play back-to-back preseason games. Su Yang called Sterling at the same time to urge Sterling to quickly advance the renovation of the arena in the Great Western Forum. Fortunately, the schedule for the start of the game has been confirmed to be with the Lakers Hit Christmas.

After a night of rest, the Clippers face the sun.

Stoudemire didn't play, Nash suffered from the flu, and the Suns didn't have much combat effectiveness.Su Yang took the initiative to replace after scoring two points, and went on the stage with Milicic, continuing to practice Milicic's coping ability and preparing in advance to break those double-team teams.

What is more surprising is that the Suns shooting guard Mobley played very well, making 10 of 7 three-pointers.

After the whole game, the Clippers narrowly won 90 to 87.

Su Yang continued his undefeated record against the Suns. After the game, he attended the press conference and talked about whether he felt any extra motivation against the Suns. He bluntly said that he still has it, because D’Antoni’s offensive system is too good, and he always wants to see if the Suns have new gadgets. Son.

Get the sun, rest in Arizona for two days, the Clippers continue their road trip, fly to Portland to challenge the Trail Blazers.

The Blazers' main lineup is full of recruits. Nine of them have less than three years of NBA experience. It is probably because of that that McMillan, who is good at building team discipline, was hired as the head coach. The talented Randolph is in a bad state, coupled with McMillan's boring tactics, it is useless for others to talk about discipline.

Just not talented enough.

The Clippers continued to practice Milicic's coping ability. Su Yangzhi played 10 minutes and won by 12 points.

After playing the Trail Blazers, the Clippers flew to Seattle overnight to play against the Supersonics.Su Yang invited Maggette to dinner, explained the matter clearly in person, and was honest about the ins and outs. Maggette could accept it, and thanked Su Yang for urging him to practice military training as a big center last season.

There was no suspense in the game. The Clippers caught the rebuilt Supersonics and had a blast, but the Supersonics fans thought Ray Allen had defected, so angry that Matt Barnes yelled at the audience: "Shut up! Ray Ben You can sign with us as a free agent. In order to leave assets for Seattle, I deliberately signed first and then traded to let you get Corey, who averaged 22 points per game, so that you have a future."

After the whole game, they won by 21 points.

Taking advantage of the less intense competition schedule, Su Yang visited Microsoft headquarters and talked with Bill Gates about the Internet vision for the next ten years and the changes in personal terminals. He suggested that Microsoft should not only do search, but also invest a large amount of money in advance to develop mobile phones.

Bill Gates bluntly said that there is no need to make a mobile phone, and instead invited Su Yang to join the plan to donate all his property after death.

Su Yang talked about thinking about it, thinking that I still have to live for decades, and I still have to do a lot of things and people, it is useless to think so far.

After three days of rest, the Clippers will play an away game against the Mavericks.

Nowitzki played, but still caught Diop and beat him wildly, from winning 35 points to winning 18 points.However, Su Yang found that Nowitzki had practiced a certain level of Golden Rooster independence in advance, probably because he was too uncomfortable to be defended in the previous playoffs.

It is a painful experience.

After beating the Mavericks, the Clippers defeated the Warriors in Oakland, which had initially formed a run-and-gun lineup, and then returned home to beat the visiting Sonics. They ended the preseason with the only eight-game record in the league. Up to 16.7 points.

The biggest gain is that Milicic’s support is initially proficient. The next step is to develop Milicic’s low-post offensive ability, leaving Azubuike and Will Bynum by the way. As for the other two veteran point guards who did not continue to sign, the lineup is basically forming.

The biggest shortcoming of the lineup is that the height of the strikers is almost meaningless. Iguodala and Brandon Bass are at a disadvantage in the same position. It is difficult to meet forwards like McGrady and LeBron, but the ability to protect the frame is definitely strong enough. If someone rushes There is no good fruit to eat.

After four days of rest and adjustment, on November 05nd, the Clippers ushered in the first game of the 06-[-] season and challenged the Los Angeles Lakers away.

ESPN updates the combat power list at the same time, the Clippers rank first, and major betting websites believe that the probability of the Clippers winning the championship is far higher than other teams. Commentator Kevin Pelton said: "The season has not yet started, but I think it is possible to announce the Clippers in advance. Ship defending."
