Chapter 229 The Battle for the Scoring King

With the rapid spread of ESPN feature articles, the discussion on whether the Clippers can tie or break the Bulls’ record of 72 wins and 10 losses in the regular season, thousands of posts and thousands of replies appeared on major basketball forums in just three hours, and the fans were very excited .

ESPN held a roundtable meeting at the same time, mainly discussing whether the Clippers can achieve 72 wins and 10 losses or more, and how the gold content is compared to the Bulls back then. The well-known "Su Hei" Bill Simmons was specially invited to the studio to participate in the discussion.

The well-known 'Soviet fan' Kevin Pelton spoke first: "From the perspective of the schedule, the Clippers have 10 games left, and the opponents with a winning rate of more than 50% include the Nuggets, Suns, Spurs, Lakers, and two Mavericks. In addition, the strength of the Grizzlies and the Sonics is not bad. There are still three back-to-back games in the schedule. To achieve the goal, you need to win six of them. I personally think it is very difficult.

All teams will double-team Su Yang without thinking, and the Clippers need to stand up, but judging from the previous games, Ray Allen and Hill are not in the same state after returning from injury, but Wilkins and Milicic, etc. The performance of the substitutes has improved.

If the Clippers want to achieve 72 wins and 10 losses or more, they need guys other than Su Yang to make more three-pointers. "

After Pelton finished speaking, everyone in the studio nodded.

The schedule of the Clippers is quite strange. There was a five-day break before, which led to the last 10 games needing to be played within 16 days, but only the game against the Portland Trail Blazers was relatively easy, and the other 9 games required full effort. go all out.

What's more, the Clippers have lost to the Mavericks twice before, and it is really difficult to play 10 games against the Mavericks in 2 games.

The well-known 'Su Hei' Bill Simmons continued: "First of all, I am optimistic that Su Yang will lead the Clippers to tie or break the 72-win record created by the Bulls, and then I want to respond to those who question the Clippers' schedule this season. For the fans who took advantage of the Timberwolves, 16 games in the last 10 days were enough to wipe out the advantage of the four games against the Timberwolves in the season.

If the Clippers finally equalize or even surpass the Bulls of the year, the gold content will definitely be higher, because in the current game, although the intensity of confrontation is much lower than that of the past, the average scoring level is also higher. Harder. "

"Wow?" Just after Simmons finished speaking, Pelton yelled again and again: "You actually spoke for Su Yang, did I hear you wrong?" Conquered commentator, ready to snatch my first Su boasting title?

"I didn't speak for anyone!"

Bill Simmons shrugged, "I'm just evaluating objectively and fairly. I have already pointed out that the current confrontation is not as good as it was back then. If Jordan at his peak played in this era, he could average 40+ points per game, but the average level of players is indeed higher than back then..."

Kevin Pelton nodded in agreement when he heard the words, but he thought in his heart: I really want to stand up at the same time. I want to please Su Yang's fans, but I don't want to lose Jordan's fans. I guess what Su Yang would say even if he went to the 80s and 90s Will be successful too.

While thinking about it, Simmons continued: "I'm not saying that Su Yang has benefited in this era. I firmly believe that he will be successful when he plays in the 80s and 90s, but it will be in another way, most likely with Michael Jordan. Taking turns to win the championship…”

While the media and fans were discussing, Su Yang took advantage of the break to oversee "The Devil Wears Pradt", had dinner with the main character Meryl, Anne Hathaway and supporting actress Scarlett, and talked about fashion, It was also guaranteed on the spot that it will be vigorously promoted on YouTube.

After the dinner party, Su Yang wandered around with a glass of wine. Taking advantage of the excitement, she quietly told Hathaway that her Italian industrialist boyfriend was a fraudster and involved in money laundering. It was best to break up as soon as possible, which made Hathaway stunned on the spot. , didn't move for a long time.

After finishing the destruction and preparing to leave, Scarlett suddenly appeared, ignoring the attention of everyone on the set, and dragged him into the RV.

Su Yang himself was embarrassed when it was over, chatting with Scarlett while waiting to observe, until the set people had almost left, then quietly left, drove to the villa, and felt the lingering sound and endless aftertaste, it was so fucking exciting.

When Alba and the three daughters saw him sitting on the sofa and giggling, they all guessed what he was doing, and finally tortured him by hand.

On the [-]th of the next day, the Clippers played against the Nuggets at home.

George Karl didn't pretend to be awesome. He arranged for the old Miller and Anthony to double-team Su Yang at the beginning of the game. He also sent a double-center lineup of Marcus Camby and Francisco Elson to try his best to limit Su Yang's breakthrough. Fight to the death.

Su Yang made various points, but Ray Allen felt very bad. He only hit 7 of 2 consecutive shots, allowing the Nuggets to score a lot of fast-break counterattacks. Fortunately, Wilkins, who came off the bench, played well and made 4 hits efficiently. 4. Keep the situation from collapsing.

After the first quarter, the Clippers trailed 29 to 38. Some fans yelled not to pass the ball to Ray Allen again. The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

At the start of the second quarter, Su Yang did not rest for a minute, and went directly to lead Wilkins and Hill and other substitutes, and temporarily adjusted his strategy. Taking advantage of Camby's 1 minutes in the first quarter, he was temporarily unable to play, and deliberately reduced three points. , hit the basket more.

That adjustment took effect very quickly. The backcourt composed of Nuggets substitutes Howard Ellis and DeMar Johnson was completely unable to block the impact. Kenyon Martin on the inside was often too late to make up because of his poor positioning awareness, but the Nuggets master Coach George Karl was urging fiercely again, shouting frantically on the sidelines for confrontation and pressure, causing the Nuggets to commit 7 fouls very quickly at this stage of the lineup.

趁着掘金防守崩溃，苏扬带队单节31比16反超，个人2前板2盖帽2抢断。

Back in the locker room for a short break, Su Yang glanced at the statistics and found that Ray Allen was 9-for-3 in the first half. He jokingly said: "33.3% shooting percentage is fine, and Ray will continue to shoot in the second half..." No hint, just say it out, better reflect your attitude.

Ray Allen chuckled and nodded, full of confidence.

The game started in the third quarter. Su Yang continued his strategy in the first quarter and gave priority to Ray Allen when he was double-teamed. Ray Allen's touch improved slightly. He made 9 of 4 shots in a single quarter, but 3 of 0 three-pointers. The scoring is all mid-range shots after running double screens.

It can only be said that the CIC is really stable.

It's a pity that DeMar Johnson of the Nuggets broke out and started instead of Greg Buckner. In the third quarter, he made 6 of 5 shots in a single quarter, and all of them were shot under Ray Allen's defense, causing the Clippers to lose 11 in a single quarter. Points, and fans shouted to express their dissatisfaction.

The Clippers entered the fourth quarter with a 5-point deficit, and Su Yang directed Wilkins and Hill to hit the basket. Unfortunately, Camby and Elson returned to the court early, and the game ended abruptly with only 7 points. Immediately fell into hand-to-hand combat, and the efficiency of both teams was low.

In the last five seconds of the game, the two teams tied.

The Nuggets got the last chance to attack, George Karl arranged tactics, and Anthony turned to receive the ball on the left waist.Su Yang took the initiative to step forward to change defenses, stuck in the rhythm of Anthony's sweeping and jumping, and brutally caught the risk, and then encountered Anthony's tactical foul.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, Su Yang stood on the free throw line and was exhausted after playing for 46 minutes. The first free throw was thumping like iron, and the second free throw was thumping like iron, but he gritted his teeth and rushed to take off, carrying the two centers Camby and Elson on his shoulders. Grabbed offensive rebounds and made dunks.

The whistle sounded at the end of the game. The Clippers defeated the Nuggets 111 to 109. Su Yang dunked the lore and played a total of 46.37 minutes. There are 30 front panels.

At the press conference after the game, when talking about whether he would choose to take a rest after playing 46 points and playing back-to-back against the Spurs, Su Yang said with a smile: "Rotating is a necessary load management method, but I am still young, and I can play for three days and three days. The games are full…”

The whole team then flew to San Antonio overnight, rested for a morning, and rushed to the ATT Center in the afternoon.

The game started at [-] o'clock, and the Spurs were still double-teaming wildly. Su Yang played normally, but Ray Allen and others did not play well.

In the end, Su Yang's 31 points and 8 assists were not enough to turn the tide, and only two caps for Parker were worth discussing.

With a record of 67 wins and 7 losses, the Clippers flew back to Los Angeles for a day off to face the Suns.

Stoudemire continues to be reimbursed for the season, and the Suns have Diaw and James Jones inside the frame, or there is no frame protection.Su Yang took the opportunity to grab offensive rebounds and block shots boldly. In the end, he had 8 offensive rebounds and 5 blocked shots, leading the Clippers to a 14-point victory.

Another day off, the Clippers went to the Staples Center to challenge the Lakers.Kobe didn't make strong shots throughout the whole process, and he also shared a lot of the ball. The main energy in the first three quarters was spent on the defensive end. He just led the Lakers to lead by 6 points and entered the fourth quarter, and he went straight to the game without resting.

Su Yang didn't have a chance to rest, dragging the bench team to chase hard. At the last moment, he was still 2 points away. The lore was a three-pointer, which caused the Clippers to lose to the Lakers for the first time this season, and also caused the Clippers to lose 8 games. Hopes of 72 wins or more dwindled.

Participating in the press conference after the game, talking about whether it was a pity for him to score 35 points and 12 assists, Su Yang slightly shook his head: "Tonight's loss is not because we played poorly, but because the Lakers played very well. Tonight's Kobe It's a phenomenal Kobe..."

After finishing the press conference, the whole team flew to Dallas overnight, rested for a morning, and challenged the Mavericks back to back in a hurry.

The game turned into a double-team battle from the first round of the game. The Mavericks double-teamed Su Yang crazily, and the Clippers crazily double-teamed Nowitzki. All kinds of body collisions did not call fouls, and the two teams scored. The efficiency was extremely low, and the Clippers trailed by 2 points in the last 2 seconds.

As the first choice for the lore, Su Yang came back from a timeout and was double-teamed by the Mavericks, but Ray Allen didn't have a chance, so he just made a strong shot.

However, the three-pointer hit the iron, Su Yang failed in another lore, and the Clippers lost 85 to 87 and suffered their ninth defeat of the season. If they want to surpass the Bulls, they can no longer lose. If they want to tie the Bulls, they can only lose one more time. Field, but also back to back against the Mavericks.

Discussions about Su Yang's poor lore kills quietly arose in various forums. Some people said that he was lucky to have so many lore kills before.

Su Yang didn't bother to bother, and checked with the company's CEO Lu Qi on the progress of negotiations on Samsung and other mobile phone manufacturers' pre-installed Twitter, while writing the script of "Juno", and discussing with the film crew of "The Devil Wears Prada" how to promote it in the early stage.

The road trip continued. The Clippers flew to Memphis to defeat the Grizzlies who were fighting for the playoffs, and then flew to the Supersonics to narrowly beat the unconvinced duo of Maggette and Lewis, and then flew back to Los Angeles for a day of rest. Beat the Sonics again.

After the game, ESPN held another round table meeting.

Kevin Pelton said: "First of all, congratulations to the Clippers for achieving 72 wins and 9 losses. Tomorrow night they will face the Dallas Mavericks who have lost three games in a row this season. The Mavericks still have the hope of hitting the second place in the West. In addition, I don’t want to be the background of history, I don’t think I will give up easily, and Su Yang also has the hope of surpassing LeBron’s consecutive scorer, the game will be very exciting!”

Well-known Su Hei Chris Bunty shook his head: "The Cavaliers will play against the Hawks tomorrow night. If LeBron scores 33 points or more in the season, then Su Yang needs to score 67 points to overtake. Will the Mavericks make it so easy for him? It's hard."
