You'd better wrap me

Chapter 214 What is Good Luck?

After waking up at noon, the Clippers team rushed to the Palace of Auburn Hills, and went through the analysis video of the Pistons as usual.

After reading it in 15 minutes, Spoelstra concluded: "Compared to last season, the Pistons made 5.1 more three-pointers, 4.1% more three-pointers, 1.1% more overall hits, 2.2 more assists, and 2.3 fewer turnovers... "

Between words, Spoelstra pointed out that the reason for the Pistons' 14 wins and 2 losses since the start of the game is that they share the ball more, shoot better, and play smarter. It can be said that the changes brought to the Pistons by coach Philip Sanders are naked eyes visible.

"They averaged blocks and steals basically the same, averaged 1.5 fewer fouls per game than before, and conceded only 1 more point.

But they're shooting 2.4 fewer free throws per game, 2.9 fewer rebounds per game, they're not as tough as they used to be..."

Su Yang nodded and responded. Philip Sanders' coaching ideas and style are still similar to those of the Timberwolves. They require cumbersome tactical moves and hate using rookies. They are somewhat similar to Larry Brown, but not like Larry Brown. irritable.

The Pistons did play more easily, but their ability to fight tough battles has also declined. Among the 14 wins, the stronger opponents are the 76ers whose Big Three failed to run in and Webber's state declined, and the Suns who were injured and absent from Stoudemire. In the midst of the loss, the Mavericks were beaten by 2 points, and the Wizards were beaten by 27 points. It seemed that a string in the brain was loose and could not be tightened again.

Larry Brown did not achieve much in terms of tactics and rookie training, but he has a good way of rectifying team records and working hard, just like the old coach K who is good at setting goals for players. Before the Olympics, he took Mengba to the military camp to receive American patriotic education.

After the video analysis, the whole team warmed up as usual.

Su Yang was interviewed on the sidelines, talking about Milicic's return to the Palace of Auburn Hills, whether he would attack and defend like he did against Larry Brown before, shaking his head and smiling: "No, Darko just hates Larry Brown, but he likes the Pistons very much. fan…"

In a blink of an eye, the game started at six o'clock.

The Clippers played back-to-back, but didn't think conservatively. Payton directly served as the starting point guard. Su Yang switched to the small forward position, leading a large and a small lineup to rush forward, while the defensive end induced the Pistons to look for Iguodala, who was in a misplaced matchup. Rasheed Wallace, just let go of the basket, and then surrounded the basket, boldly using Rasheed's offensive habit of preferring mid-range shots rather than rushing to the basket.

After 9 minutes of the first quarter, the Clippers scored 23 points with their sharp offense, while the Pistons scored 25 points by relying on Rasheed's high-efficiency dislocation to eat Iguodala alone.Su Yang then took a timeout to rest, but the Pistons did not make any substitutions.

Coach Philip Sanders is more ruthless than Larry Brown. In a regular season, the opponent Clippers still fought back-to-back, directly allowing Big Ben, Billups and Tyshawn Prince to play for 12 minutes in the first quarter. Hamilton and Lacie Germany played 10 and a half minutes.

Relying on the main lineup, the Pistons led the Clippers 34 to 29 after the first quarter, with only one turnover in a single quarter.

The live broadcast commentator of ABC TV exclaimed that the Pistons did not make a single mistake in the confrontation between Su Yang and Iguodala. record.

The second quarter started immediately.

Su Yang made his debut against Puerto Rican point guard Arroyo, made a breakthrough with a swaying step, and succeeded against McDyess at the basket. Step up and down, against the old Clippers Will Cox scored 2+1, and the defensive end also died twice in a row, stealing Arroyo and Maurice Evans.

In a wave of 8-0, Su Yang led the team to overtake.

Pistons head coach Fiply Sanders hurriedly replaced Prince and Daben who had only rested for 2 minutes, but Su Yang only tried to force the ball, and bullied Prince from the outside because he was weak and couldn't keep up with the rhythm. Quick jump bully Big Ben is not fast enough.

8比0转而变成19比5，活塞局面大崩，半场打完，快船66比52领先。

Returning from the halftime break in the third quarter, Spoelstra took the initiative to adjust his defense, arranged for Kaman and Milicic to play together, and took turns to confront Rashid. The shooting Hamilton and Prince made 11 of 4 shots in total, scaring the Pistons head coach Philip Saunders to let the Pistons start again for 12 minutes in a single quarter.

Su Yang made his debut in the fourth quarter and rushed to the inside. He didn't shoot a three-pointer, but he was tough. He quickly defeated the Pistons, who were severely lacking in physical strength in the starting lineup, and led the Clippers to a 119-101 victory. He played 43 minutes and scored 36 points. 10 assists.

After the game, the whole team boarded the plane to San Antonio and saw the news that Ginobili was absent due to injury.

When I woke up at noon the next day, I saw ESPN commentator Chris Bunty commenting that the Clippers were too lucky.

"The Clippers' 20-game winning streak has very low gold content! Because they met the Lakers who were seriously injured by La Gabel in the opening game, and then played three times against the Timberwolves who were in a rebuilding state without defense, twice against the Eagles in a state of civil strife, and twice against the entire league. The most rubbish New York Knicks, a game against the Pacers who were plagued by trade rumors, successive games against the Warriors and Raptors, the Heat with O'Neal injured, and the Suns with Stoudemire injured, even if the Cavaliers and Nuggets The team is also in poor form.

And tomorrow, they will face the Spurs whose core player Manu Ginobili is injured and absent. They are so lucky.

They don't have too many injuries, they often get about three days off, they get preferential treatment. "

Such comments quickly aroused heated discussions in major basketball forums, and the well-known Su Hei Bill Simmons also joined the discussion.

"Although I have always been on the opposite side of Su Yang, I must point out that after Grant Hill was absent due to injury, Su Yang carried the lack of scoring and defense alone. He played 43 minutes in back-to-back games against the Pistons and gave a lot. .

Why the Clippers have no civil strife, no low morale, no defensiveness in the first year of last year's reconstruction, no trade rumors, because Su Yang's ability to lead the team is too strong, and he organized Panama vacation training at his own expense a week in advance, enjoying more than other teams The running-in time, won more trust than the core of other teams, and was better than Jordan in the first few years of his career...

So it's not luck, but strength.

That's why Su Yang once again won the first round of All-Star votes, and the number of votes is significantly ahead of LeBron. "

Between the discussions, the Clippers played against the Spurs.

The two teams knew each other well, they had offense and defense at the beginning of the game, and their offensive efficiency was mediocre. With Ray Allen hitting a three-pointer, the Clippers led the Spurs 15-14. With 4 minutes and 37 seconds left in the first quarter, Su Yang followed the dead ball to rest and prepared to Second quarter with a substitute.

Unexpectedly, after Su Yang left the court, the Spurs' offensive focus instantly focused on Parker. Duncan continued to lift the top of the arc to make a pick-and-roll, and Parker succeeded in all five breakthroughs. Payton couldn't keep up, and Milicic was about to be caught Duncan made a three-pointer.

Fortunately, the Clippers' offense was acceptable. After the first quarter, they were only 23 points behind 35 to 12. The situation was not too bad.

Su Yang came on the stage in a hurry and was about to flex his muscles. The Spurs did not hesitate to arrange Finley, Van Exel and Bowen to take turns to double-team. They could only pass the ball to Kaman, Wilkins and Barnes went to play with three people, and the efficiency was extremely low.

Seeing Kaman's trio go crazy, Su Yang misses Hill a little bit, and also sighs that the departure of Bobby Simmons and Marko Jaric has reduced the Clippers' bench strength. Think about Hill last season And Ma Long, that lineup is really strong.

After dawdling for 10 minutes, Popovich didn't hold back, and Duncan and Parker got it back ahead of time, making it even more difficult to fight.

Su Yang turned on the unparalleled mode to play hard, and waited until the end of the halftime game to narrow the gap by 5 points. The Spurs did not hesitate to foul.

The Clippers returned to the locker room with a 7-point deficit. After a little total, they decided to fight hard in the second half, mainly at the critical moment of the 21 wins. As long as they beat the Spurs, only Bell was injured. The Lakers are considered a strong team and are expected 33 consecutive victories.

The third quarter started quickly.

Su Yang dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, pretending to use the cover, but in fact, he didn't use the cover to pull the ball in the opposite direction to force Parker, and went straight to the inside, facing Duncan and Nesterovic to make up the defense, and hit the board with a high throw Score, followed by an ambush on the defensive end, cut off Duncan's long pass after being double-teamed, quickly rushed to the basket and made an emergency stop, flew Bowen to score 2+1, and then took advantage of Parker's emergency stop to make a mid-range shot and made a fast break Succeeded in chasing the three-pointer, led the team to play an 8-0 attack wave, overtook the Spurs by 1 point, and Popovich was so anxious that he paused for a short time to rearrange.

The timeout ends, and the double-team ensues.

But Ray Allen and Iguodala, Kobe Wilkins and Barnes did too much, and the Clippers scored 14 to 8 again.

Su Yang also temporarily adjusted his rotation, played the entire third quarter without leaving the game, and entered the fourth quarter with a 5-point advantage to resist all kinds of confrontations, fouls, and tricks. Unfortunately, at the last moment, he was still beaten by Duncan. Hitting the board allowed the Spurs to overtake by two points.

There are 2.8 seconds left in the game.

The Clippers paused and returned to the bench, Spoelstra hurriedly arranged tactics, separated left and right and continued to cover, using Ray Allen as a bait.After Si Bo finished speaking, Su Yang went on to say, "Ray, if you have the chance, you should also make bold moves. I won't mind."

Ray Allen nodded to express his understanding.

Pause ends and the game continues.

The four players of the Clippers are in the BOX position on the court. Su Yang and Ray Allen squat under the left and right baskets respectively, while Kaman and Milicic stand at the left and right elbows respectively, and Varejao is in charge of standing out of bounds on the right. Serve, the Spurs adopt man-to-man defense.

The referee blew the whistle to time the ball. Ray Allen first used Milicic to cover and lift up. Su Yang later used Kaman to cover and lift up. The two reached the top of the arc with both front and rear feet, but Ray Allen did not catch the ball , but teamed up with Milicic to make a double screen.

Su Yang took the opportunity to get rid of Bowen, rushed to the right wing to catch the ball, was double-teamed by Finley and Duncan, jumped up and passed the ball across the left wing.

Amidst the boos all over the court, Ray Allen received the ball wide open, ignoring Bowen who was flying to defend, and raised his hand to score a three-pointer.

The basketball slammed into the net, and the whistle sounded at the end of the game. The Clippers took the lead by one point, and Ray Allen scored the lore.

Su Yang and Ray Allen celebrated with high fives, returned to the locker room and poured water on Ray Allen's ice bucket to celebrate, happy that Ray Allen's lore will make many teams dare not double-team themselves at critical moments, But the problem of weak substitutes is really visible to the naked eye.

There is no good way. Ray Allen and Hill have tens of millions of contracts. Hill is injured and can't play, so he can only wait.

After the press conference, the whole team flew to Oklahoma overnight, rested for a night, and challenged the Hornets back to back.

It was exhausting to play back to back, but the Hornets coach Scott was a pure bastard, and the Hornets did not have an excellent organizer. JR Smith refused to accept anyone, and he messed up when he got the ball. There is also a starter Desmond Mason On both ends of the offense and defense, Igo was blown out.

Su Yang deliberately let Ray Allendo rest, personally led the team to play for 44 minutes, and finally defeated the Hornets 108 to 102.

The whole team got three days of rest and flew back to Los Angeles overnight, preparing to face the Rockets, who were absent from both Dayao and Frederick.

ESPN wrote in a comment: Good luck and strong strength have greatly increased the probability of the Clippers hitting a 33-game winning streak.
