Chapter 357 New Regular Season Record
Chapter 357 New Regular Season Record ([-]D Chapter)
In the 14-15 season, as the regular season is coming to an end, fans will once again turn their attention to the Clippers.
On March 3, the NBA announced the Player of the Month for February, and LeBron James of the Eastern League and Li Ze of the Western League won the awards respectively.
The Cavaliers finally had a record of 2 wins and 8 losses in February. After the All-Star Weekend, they once again hit a winning streak.
勒布朗-詹姆斯场均出场32.6分钟,可以拿到24.4分6.6篮板7.3助攻1.6抢断0.3盖帽5.5失误;
The shooting percentage was 48.1%, the three-point shooting percentage was 27.3%, and the free throw percentage was 72.1%.
Although LeBron James won the award, America's critics didn't hold back:
"Compared to the state of the Heat, LeBron James has begun to decline after losing weight!"
After the All-Star Weekend, the Clippers finally lost to the Grizzlies in an away game. In three games, two Grizzlies and one Rockets, fortunately they managed to get over it, and finally achieved a record of 2 wins and 10 loss in February.
李泽场均出场36.8分钟,拿到33.2分5.7篮板6.3助攻2.7抢断0.3盖帽1.8失误;
The shooting percentage was 58.7%, the three-point shooting percentage was 49.8%, and the free throw percentage was 94.2%.
After the All-Star Weekend, Li Ze's efficiency dropped a bit due to the increase in the number of shots taken. However, the sports media in Amelica don't care about the decline in Li Ze's efficiency, so it's over:
"This is the strength of No.1 in the league. No player can come close to Kayce!"
This year's Best of the Month awards are currently being taken over by Li Ze. The Clippers' record crushes all teams, and Li Ze's data crushes all players.
ESPN even organized the media to conduct anonymous mock voting, and there is basically no suspense for the MVP
In early March, the Clippers survived back-to-back away games between the Bulls and Timberwolves, only to capsize when they returned home on the night of the 3th.
At 102:93, the Trail Blazers suppressed the Clippers and finally won easily.
Of course, the biggest reason for the loss was that both Crawford and Barnes were sidelined due to injuries, while Dudley, who got the chance to start, was completely out of shape, and Tucker on the bench was also bumming.
In addition, Jordan made 10 of 2 free throws that night, scored 6 points and 12 rebounds, and the Clippers directly explained.
Losing this game also brought the Clippers' record to 55 wins and 7 losses. Although they continue to lead the league, many critics said that it will be difficult for the Clippers to break the regular season record created by the Bulls.
That night, the Warriors defeated the Bucks again, with a record of 47 wins and 12 losses. However, the media reporters in America are no longer interested in the Warriors. The second in the league is not worthy of attention.
The coaching staff of the Clippers is always paying attention to the state of the Warriors. With David Lee and Bogut returning from injury, the state of the Warriors is getting better and better.
更让教练组感到惊奇的是,德雷蒙德-格林越来越出色,在和雄鹿队的比赛中,14中9,三分球9中4,拿到23分12篮板5助攻3抢断3盖帽1失误。
Not only can it protect the rebounds, but it can also open up the offensive space for the team, and it also has a good shooting percentage outside the three-point line.
On the morning of the 5th, the players were on vacation, and the coaching staff of the Clippers was still collecting information on the playoff teams.
"We should make the lineup smaller. Andrew is not suitable for defending pick-and-rolls, and Nikola is the same. With two big men on the court, it is difficult for us to make a difference on the defensive end. After all, the Warriors are an outside team."
Assistant coach Tyronn Lue has been thinking about the Warriors' team building ideas recently and has collected a lot of Warriors' tactics.
The Warriors are not only a stumbling block to their regular season record, but they are also likely to be the biggest opponent in this year's playoffs. Through a large amount of data analysis, Tyronn Lue directly gave suggestions.
Head coach De Nagro frowned. Instead of discussing the lineup with the assistant coach, he consulted the team doctor again:
"How is Jamal's injury? Can he recover before the playoffs?"
"The right calf is deeply contused. If the situation goes well, he may be able to return in early April, but this injury is bound to affect his state."
Hearing the answer given by the team doctor, Coach De Nagro cursed inwardly.
In the game against the Timberwolves on the 2nd, Crawford was directly injured by a simple collision.
At the time, no one paid attention to it, but after flying back to Los Angeles, after careful inspection, it turned out to be a deep contusion.
At present, the veteran can't train at all, and he can't even run. In addition, Griffin's recovery is lower than expected, and De Nagro's head coach is also a little numb.
Everyone in the coaching staff certainly knows what De Nagro is worried about, and also understands his hesitation. No one can refuse the record of 72 wins, which is the best record in history!
"Let's try again and see how it goes until the end of March, April, we have a very good schedule!"
"And Lu is right. We can allow the rotation to have more playing time. Everyone is in good shape recently, and we can properly give up two games back to back."
In the end, head coach De Nagro could only nod helplessly. He couldn't afford to be injured. The coaching staff didn't want Li Ze's playing time to reach 40+. Compared with the record, everyone cared more about the championship.
If you get the record, but fall in the playoffs in the end, it will become a big joke.
In the next week's game, both Bullock and Ingles at the end of the bench got more playing time, and Jokic temporarily secured his starting position.
On the 9th, after losing back-to-back away games to the Warriors, on the night of the 13th, the Clippers capsized again and lost to the Mavericks who felt overwhelming.
In 4 consecutive away games, the Clippers have 2 wins and 2 losses, barely meeting the expectations of the coaching staff.
On March 3th, the Clippers finally returned home and defeated the Rockets 15:100.
The record came to 58 wins and 9 losses. Considering that there are still 15 games to follow, American media reporters believe that it will be difficult for the Clippers to break the best record in the regular season.
At the post-match press conference that night, the sports media at the scene saw Li Ze's relaxed expression, and immediately started asking questions:
"Kayce, do you think the Clippers have a chance to beat the best record in the regular season?"
Li Ze, who was wearing a light gray casual suit jacket, heard such a question, and immediately answered confidently:
"Of course, I don't mean to disrespect the opponent. Our follow-up schedule is relatively easy!"
The sports media at the scene thought that the Clippers' consecutive away games were indeed full of big teams, so they could only smile and nod in agreement.
"Paul! You haven't had any injuries this season. I think many fans are very curious about how you take care of your body?"
Paul looked serious. He was already worried about his record, but when he heard such a question, he answered patiently:
"Consecutive playoffs and championships, we played more games than other teams, so I will choose vegetarian food for many times this season, which helps me a lot."
"Of course the most important thing is that we trust each other on the court. The pressure of the game is not high. I hope that more players in the future can accept some vegetarian ideas."
Li Ze seriously suspects that the reporters in the audience are just childcare. Chairman Pao just recently invested in a vegetarian company, and this problem turned out to be the case.
At the press conference, most of them were business bragging, but in the end the TNT reporter asked another question:
"Kayce, at the end of March, you will face the Warriors at home. If you lose this game, you will not be able to break the regular season record."
"What do you think of the Warriors as an opponent?"
Li Ze has answered this question too many times, so this time he just shrugged his shoulders:
"52 wins and 13 losses, the Warriors have an excellent record, but at the end of the month, we will win, or we will win until the end of the regular season."
"No matter who the opponent is, we will win the game in the final stage!"
"."
On the 16th, fans of America were discussing Kyrie Irving's 57 points and whether the Clippers could break the regular season record.
In the game against the Spurs two days ago, Irving broke out completely. In the case of overtime, he made 32 of 20, including 7 of 7 three-pointers, 10 of 10 free throws, and scored 57 points!
57 points is also the highest score of the season. Irving's excellent state has allowed the Cavaliers' record to rise all the way. In addition, LeBron James' state has also recovered, and America's fools began to sing praises for the Cavaliers.
In the TNT program, O'Neal turned into a Cavaliers fan again, facing the camera with crazy poisonous milk:
"This is the Cavaliers we are looking forward to. The cooperation between Irving and LeBron is becoming more and more tacit. I believe they can reach the finals this year."
When the host Ernie Johnson heard such a prediction, he immediately smiled and asked:
"Don't forget that they just lost to the Eagles, which ranked first in the East, not long ago. Obviously, the Cavaliers still have a lot of problems."
Charles Barkley very much agreed with O'Neill's point of view and immediately refuted:
"The playoffs are different from the regular season. I think Irving is underestimated. He is definitely a player with a big heart, and the Cavaliers are getting better and better!"
"I remember after the All-Star weekend, you were still optimistic that the Eagles could reach the finals! Chuck, you should continue to insist on your point of view."
Kenny Smith immediately teased his old partner. Seeing that the discussion between several people became more and more biased, the host Ernie Johnson changed the subject and said:
"Do you think the Clippers have a chance to beat the best record in the regular season?"
Kenny Smith is not very optimistic about the Clippers at this time. Losing two games last week seems to indicate that the Clippers have reached their limit:
"They have encountered too many injuries recently, and the Warriors suffered from injuries in the first half and were more stable in the second half. From this point of view, the Clippers may continue to lose."
Charles Barkley said seriously at this time:
"Compared to the championship, maybe the Clippers should give up the regular season record. If they don't pursue the record, they can calmly carry out lineup rotation."
"The championship is the most important thing. We all know that Kayce has good physical fitness, but looking at LeBron's state this season, he has begun to decline!"
"Everyone's body has limits. The Clippers players have played a lot of games. If they want to successfully defend their title, they should make plans early!"
O'Neill suddenly interjected at this time, and changed the topic again:
"LeBron James is only 30 years old, I don't think his form has started to decline!"
Charles Barkley immediately widened his eyes and said loudly:
"Come on! It's obviously a decline. He can't return to the state of the Heat, and Kayce is the same. As he grows older, his state will decline after the age of 30."
Host Ernie Johnson smiled and shook his head:
"This is definitely a boring topic. Kayce is only 24 years old. He can continue to rule the league for at least 10 years. No one can come close to him!"
Kenny Smith also turned on the Li Zechuan mode again:
"I agree with this point of view. Of course, I am just giving advice. I believe that Kayce's strength is immeasurable as a superstar. We only need to wait until the end of the month to know the answer!"
"."
No matter what the media discussed, the Clippers once again performed perfectly in the subsequent tour of abuse!
On March 3th, at the Madison Square Garden Arena, New York fans were completely paralyzed.
At 65:32 in the half, the Knicks had trailed by 33 points.
During the intermission, the fans in New York kept booing and cursing, it was too bad!
Fans in New York were blown away by such a poor performance in a nationally televised game.
In the ESPN commentary booth at the scene, Mark Jackson's ears were full of "Fack" voices, the fans were yelling at Fisher, and the rookie coach directly ruined their team!
"It seems that the game is over. I don't mean to disrespect the Knicks players, but the gap between them and the Clippers is too big!"
Mark Jackson didn't expect that the Knicks, which had a decent performance last season, were completely rotten this year.
Jeff Van Gundy was a little disappointed. He had a special feeling for the Knicks. This was the beginning of his coaching career, but seeing the team rotten like this, he could only whisper:
"Stoudemire was cut, but the team failed to make any reinforcements. I understand that the Knicks want to try their luck in the draft, but the fans don't like this kind of game!"
"Carmelo Anthony is injured again. It is not easy for many fans to come to watch the game. As a national live broadcast, I can only say that the performance of the Knicks is too disappointing."
Announcer Mike Breen began to change the subject. He didn't want to criticize the Knicks too much on the national broadcast:
"Kayce is in very good form. He made all 11 shots in the half, including 4 three-pointers, 30 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Unfortunately, there is a high probability that he will only play a few minutes in the third quarter."
Mark Jackson also took over the conversation at this time:
"Winning this game, the Clippers have won 6 consecutive victories, and their record has reached 63 wins and 9 losses. Maybe this year we have the opportunity to witness a new record."
At halftime, in the Clippers locker room, Jokic was smiling again. He made 6 of 5 in the half, easily scored 10 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. He hoped to get another double-double tonight.
"After playing, pay attention to my pass, let's get more data!"
Jokic reminded Ingles in a low voice that the two are both players with no guarantee contracts and basically have the same interests.
Fatty Bai knew that the playing time of the main lineup would decrease sharply in the second half, so he could gain a firm foothold in the Clippers by helping each other.
"Don't worry! I will seize the opportunity."
Barnes is getting old and has injuries, which makes Ingles also see hope. Maybe he has the opportunity to become the team's eighth man in the future. He attaches great importance to any game.
Griffin also entered the 12-man roster tonight, but out of prudent considerations, the coaching staff still failed to let the superficial brothers appear on the stage.
"How are you feeling, Blake? No need to worry about the team's record."
Hearing Li Ze's question, Griffin moved his right arm again, and finally said in a firm tone:
"It's definitely fine, but the team doctor thinks it needs to be observed for a few days."
Paul was still calculating the schedule for April, and finally said quite rigorously:
"Theoretically, April is easier. We have two Lakers games to play, and we don't have to fly around, and we can keep playing in Los Angeles."
"As long as we survive the game in March, we have a chance to make new history!"
When the atmosphere group thought that the team could break the regular season record of 72 wins, they immediately shouted excitedly:
"No problem, fortunately, the Eastern team has no combat power during this time, and we are not tired!"
"The 76ers and Celtics will not be our opponents, they are all ready to go fishing."
Hearing everyone's comments, Li Ze shook his head with a smile. At the end of the season, many teams are simply ruined.
Of course, the Celtics can still get a playoff spot, and the teams behind the Eastern Conference are really bad.
In the second half of the game, Li Ze only played for 4 minutes and then took a rest. The 30-point gap was really too big.
Amid the curses of the New York fans, in the end, at 116:80, the Clippers beat the Knicks by 36 points in an away game.
The score in several consecutive games was less than [-], which made the New York media break their defenses. After the game, apart from praising Li Ze's performance, the rest was cursing Fisher. Where did the triangle offense go?
In the next two away games, the Clippers showed extreme offensive firepower, scoring 119 points in both games, and their record came to 65 wins and 9 losses.
After returning to Los Angeles, the NBA began to frantically promote the game on the night of the 31st. TNT, as the broadcaster of the game, began to promote continuously in mid-March.
The Warriors currently have a record of 60 wins and 13 losses, ranking second in the league. Many games are played in three quarters. Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green have formed a chemical reaction.
Iguodala has also adapted to the role of the sixth man, and David Lee, Livingston, Barbosa, and Speights have also contributed.
If it weren't for the Clippers, perhaps the reporters of the American media would have shouted "Warriors championship!"
On the night of the 31st, at the Staples Arena, the fans screamed with excitement from the start of the game.
After the opening, Green was blown a mobile screen, and then the Warriors let Bogut come outside the three-point line to support him.
The veteran Barnes returned from injury tonight, but in the first half of the game, he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the Warriors. He ran and ran, and the defense was gone.
The official timeout of the first quarter, the score on the field came to 1:17, and the Warriors temporarily led by 15 points.
Jokic is a little uncomfortable tonight. Green frequently pours the ball from the outside, and the Warriors cut more off the ball, making it difficult for him to keep up with the opponent's rhythm.
Coach De Nagro naturally saw the problem, but he didn't intend to make a substitution. Jokic's pick-and-roll quality is good, and his rebounds are also guaranteed. If he is replaced by a smaller man, he may not be able to withstand the rush of the Warriors. .
On the other side of the Warriors bench, Steve Kerr is still encouraging his players:
"Don't care about the referee's whistle! We need to play our own rhythm, screen, cut, pop, pass, trust each other, do you want to see each other break the regular season record?"
Green replenished his water and nodded immediately when he heard what the coach said. After the opening, the referee blew him a mobile screen, which made him a little cautious.
Hearing Steve Kerr's encouragement, he immediately applauded enthusiastically, constantly encouraging himself.
After the official timeout, the two sides did not carry out personnel rotation. The Warriors took the lead in attacking. In the Staples Arena, the fans immediately cheered for the home team's defense:
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
When Curry dribbled halfway, Paul noticed that the two insiders of the Warriors were standing in the left and right elbows of the free throw line. Curry quickly put the ball to Bogut in the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line, and then immediately cut without the ball.
Paul followed up immediately, and Bogut immediately gave the ball to Harrison Barnes on the right wing outside the three-point line.
Curry was a simple UCLA cut at the beginning, but just entered the paint area, suddenly ran back up the line, and quickly passed through the middle of the free throw line.
Although Paul pursued the defense very quickly, Bogut and Green both took a step to the middle at the same time, closed the defense, and directly blocked Paul at the free throw line.
Harrison Barnes saw Curry appearing at the top of the arc, and immediately sent a cross pass. The latter received the pass without making too many adjustments, and threw it away!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
"This is obviously a mobile screen, and the opponent blocked my player at the free throw line!"
The head coach De Nagro was very dissatisfied with the penalty of this round and immediately complained to the line referee, but unfortunately the other party did not respond and just signaled the game to continue.
Just as Paul was about to complain to the referee, he calmed down when he saw Li Ze waving his hand.
While serving from the baseline, Li Ze also made an offensive gesture to his teammates, and then the two dribbled slowly across the half court.
Jokic and Jordan also stood at the two elbows on the left and right sides of the free throw line. After halftime, Paul immediately gave the ball to Li Ze on the left flank of the free throw line.
After receiving the pass, Li Ze didn't stop the ball. When he encountered Clay's defense, he quickly gave the ball to Jokic in the elbow area on the left side of the free throw line.
Then Li Ze quickly cut diagonally without the ball, fearing Jokic's passing ability, Clay continued to stick to the defense, and Green also focused his defensive attention on Li Ze.
After receiving the pass, Jokic turned around and seemed to be about to give the ball to Li Ze, who was cutting in. Paul at the top of the arc suddenly accelerated, and when he quickly came to the left wing outside the three-point line, Jokic immediately gave the ball to the outside. Paul.
Li Ze, who cut into the paint area, accelerated to run back at this time, and bounced from the free throw line in the middle.
The sudden acceleration caused Clay's defense to lose its position. When he tried to chase again, he saw Jokic took a step sideways. Coupled with Jordan's cooperation, Clay's defense was immediately slowed down.
Li Ze easily bounced to the top of the arc outside the three-point line, received a pass from Paul, faced Clay who was defending, and quickly shot a three-pointer!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
Hearing the cheers of the fans at the scene, Clay became a little numb. This set of tactics is exactly the same as that of the Warriors. They all use the mobile cover to create opportunities for the shooter.
When Paul saw Li Ze score a goal, he was immediately overjoyed, and he returned it to him in the same way. Let's play together and see who can throw it correctly!
Reggie Miller laughed when he saw two teams playing the same tactics:
"It's so interesting! I think Mark must be very proud at this time. The tactics he designed have been widely used. The Warriors must be careful not to let Kayce find the touch outside the three-point line."
Steve Kerr on the sidelines immediately gestured to the players to continue. On the other side, the head coach De Nagro chuckled, and finally sat back on the bench without arguing with the referee.
The Warriors played the same tactic twice in a row. Curry hit a three-pointer again, but Clay's shooting was interfered by Li Ze and finally hit the iron.
The long rebound popped up, and Jokic immediately took it. Instead of giving the ball to Paul, who was next to him, he quickly threw the ball to Li Ze, who had already crossed the half court.
After receiving the pass, Li Ze took the opportunity to put the ball with his left hand, and Clay stuck to it tightly, preventing Li Ze from getting up to speed easily.
Everyone in the Warriors also retreated quickly, without a chance to switch offense, Li Ze immediately returned the ball to Paul at the logo position.
Green saw Jokic move to the left elbow, thinking that the Clippers were going to play the same tactic again, and immediately called his teammates to pay attention to switch defenses, and saw Jokic had received the ball in the next second.
Curry saw Paul handing over the ball, and when he heard Green's reminder, he immediately posted it next to Paul. As a result, the Clippers' offense was simple and rough this time. Li Ze cut in from the left 45 degrees without the ball. , linear acceleration.
Before Clay could react, Jokic held the ball and threw it to the upper left of the basket, and Li Ze, who rushed to the left block, suddenly flew into the air.
Catch the ball in the air, pull the ball back slightly with your right hand, and then swing your arm to smash the dunk!
"Boom!" The empty catch dunk was successful!
From the cut to the dunk, it happened too quickly. Clay, who was following Li Ze, couldn't even make a defensive move, and Li Ze completed the dunk dunk.
The wonderful dunk once again ignited the atmosphere of the Staples Arena, and the fans cheered happily.
Steve Kerr rubbed his brows, he can handle the ball, he can switch seamlessly without the ball, as long as the Clippers have a good passer, Li Ze can fully fire.
In the next few minutes, the Warriors felt explosive, cutting in, making three-pointers, scoring consecutive goals, and scoring mid-range shots after the screen.
The Clippers also responded easily. Li Ze cut in without the ball, turned around and made a fallback jumper after asking for the ball in the low post, and scored consecutive mid-range shots with the ball after the pick-and-roll.
The Warriors frequently ran tactics, and the Clippers played more and more easily.
This time Green dealt the card at the top of the arc, and saw that Kelai used the cover of Bogut's right side near the bottom line, slid out of the bottom line and bounced to the right flank, and immediately sent a cross pass.
Just when the ball was about to fly into Clay's hands, Li Ze, who was chasing and defending, suddenly accelerated, leaped forward, and easily completed the interception.
With the ball in his right hand, he accelerated with all his strength and rushed across the half court. Clay, who was chasing desperately, saw that Li Ze was almost flying directly on the free throw line.
"Wonderful game! This is the Warriors' first turnover in this game. It can be seen that the Clippers have adapted to the Warriors' style of play."
The commentator Kevin Harlan was hooked. The two sides were almost fighting each other, and the hit rate was extremely high!
In the Staples Arena, the Clippers fans finally breathed a sigh of relief. At 30:34, the point difference returned to 4 points again.
At this time, with the last 36 seconds left in the first quarter, the Warriors did not rush to attack, but slowed down the rhythm and began to control the time.
With 10 seconds left on the offensive clock, Bogut immediately came to the three-point line to perform a high pick-and-roll. Curry, holding the ball in his left hand, first circled the ball behind his back, and then quickly changed direction with his crotch. With the help of a screen, he briefly got rid of Paul's defense.
Close to the three-point line, the left hand made a small in and out, and worshiped Buddha slightly. After changing the rhythm, Curry suddenly accelerated and passed Jordan in an instant.
The defense was out of position, Jordan desperately chased and defended, Curry ignored the defender behind him, approached the basket, and finally hit the board with his left hand and shot high!
"Bang! Swish" two points scored again.
"Shh!"
After scoring the goal, Curry looked very excited. He hasn't missed a big game tonight.
In the last attack of the Clippers, Paul noticed that Clay was almost hanging on Li Ze, and immediately accelerated after sending the baseline ball.
Immediately after halftime, he picked and rolled Jokic at the top of the arc, changed direction in front of his left hand, and then turned around sharply with his right hand. With Jokic's cover, Paul easily got rid of Curry's defense.
Green immediately chose to step forward to help defend, Paul did not hesitate, and immediately gave the ball to Jokic who was running down.
Bogut in the right block immediately returned to defense. Seeing Li Ze's eyes, Jordan Jr. moved two steps and approached the three-point line to make an up screen.
Clay kept his back to the basket and didn't notice Jordan's movements at all. Just as Jokic was going down, Li Ze suddenly accelerated laterally and moved quickly to the right corner.
Clay, who was chasing and defending, bumped into Jordan at once, and in the next second he saw the ball directly appearing in the hands of Li Ze in the right corner.
With no defense, Li Ze made an easy jump shot from outside the three-point line!
"Shh!"
"buzz"
The referee immediately indicated that the goal was valid. At 32:37, the Clippers led by 5 points in the first quarter.
"Both teams played a very smooth offense. Curry was 6 of 5, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 12 points. Thompson was 6 of 4, 2 of 1 from beyond the three-point line, and scored 11 points. "
"The Warriors once again showed us their terrifying shooting ability!"
The commentator Kevin Harlan looked at the technical statistics in his hands and praised the performance of the Warriors.
"Steve really put the Warriors in a ball, and there were only two turnovers in the first quarter, which is very rare."
"Of course, the defensive problem still hasn't been resolved. Kayce made 8 of 7 in a single quarter, including 3 of 2 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws. In the second half of the game, he was fully fired and scored 18 points efficiently."
"I'm looking forward to how the Warriors will make adjustments in the following games."
Reggie Miller looked at the technical statistics in his hand with a smile, and turned into Li Zechuan again
Steve Kerr really had a headache. He didn't know how to defend Li Ze at all. Facing double-teams, the Clippers stood at the free throw line with Jokic and Paul outside the three-point line.
What makes him feel most helpless is that Li Ze's running without the ball can always find a 1-on-1 opportunity. As long as he receives a pass, he can complete the attack in a few seconds, and he doesn't give the Warriors too many double-teams at all. Chance
Noticing that Curry was eager to try, Steve Kerr still did not choose to smash the main force, allowing Curry to play the first quarter, he has made an exception.
"My physical fitness is fine, I can continue to play!"
There are too many three quarters this season, so Curry has been in good physical condition. Seeing Li Ze on the Clippers side preparing to play, I couldn't help asking Cole.
"Stephen, we must be cautious. The team doctor reminded me that your ankle is still a potential injury."
"Don't compare yourself to Kayce, he's taller than you, he's much stronger than you, playing 48 minutes is no pressure for him, and we need you to stay healthy."
Steve Kerr briefly comforted Curry, then turned his head and said to Iguodala:
"Andre, try your best to defend, don't let him shoot easily!"
Livingston, Barbosa, Iguodala, David Lee, Speights play in rotation;
For the Clippers, Li Ze took the lead, and Reggie Bullock, Ingles, Tucker, and Hawes, one big and four small, continued to play.
Dudley sat on the bench depressingly, and after a few away games, coach De Nagro finally allocated his time to Reggie Bullock and Ingles, who performed better.
Although the three-pointers of these two are also unstable, the defensive end is absolutely desperate.
The fans at the scene saw Li Ze directly appearing on the stage, and started to cheer loudly again. After winning tonight's game, they will have the opportunity to witness history in April!
The Warriors took the lead in attacking, with a simple outside pass, Livingston immediately gave the ball to David Lee who wanted the ball in the low post on the left.
At the moment the opponent passed the ball, Ingles immediately rushed to David Lee's side and cooperated with Tucker to attack back and forth.
David Lee only played with his back, and immediately threw the ball into the hands of Livingston who was outside the three-point line in the face of a double-team.
Facing Ingles, who was slipping again to defend, Livingston, who was catching the ball again, released the ball with his right hand and made a breakthrough, took a big step, and made a mid-range jump shot!
"Bang!" Angrily hit an iron.
The long rebound popped out, and Li Ze stuck Iguodala behind him, and finally accepted the rebound easily.
Not in a hurry to launch a transition attack, Li Ze first made an offensive gesture, steadily protected the ball, ignored Iguodala's interference, and quickly dribbled across the half.
Noticing that Hawes behind him had already stood on the three-point line at the top of the arc, Iguodala continued to focus his defensive attention on Li Ze, and at the same time shouted loudly:
"Pay attention to switch defenses!"
Speights kept looking at Li Ze's movements. Seeing Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly circling the ball behind his back and then stepping down and changing directions to break through from the right, he immediately focused his defensive attention on Li Ze.
Iguodala squeezed through the screen, and Speights noticed that his teammate was stuck halfway, and immediately helped to defend the delay.
Neither of them noticed that Hawes stopped directly at the free throw line when he went down, and took advantage of the opportunity to set another screen for Ingles.
With the help of cover, Ingles quickly bounced to the left flank beyond the three-point line. Livingston had no time to chase and defend, and Li Ze, who broke through on the other side, had already jumped up and threw the ball.
The moment the ball arrives, Ingles immediately lifts the ball, without any adjustments, and fires directly from outside the three-point line!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
Immediately after scoring the goal, Ingles gave Li Zebi a thumbs up, and the passing rhythm was very good!
In the next few rounds, the Clippers followed suit, covering the free throw line, ambushing in the bottom corner, and Li Ze went on the line and continued to pick and roll.
As the Warriors hit two irons in a row, Bullock and Tucker threw three-pointers, the score on the court came to 32:46, and the point difference instantly became 14 points.
Steve Kerr rubbed his forehead on the sidelines and asked for a timeout helplessly.
On the Clippers' bench, Paul screamed with his sick number and the atmosphere group. When he saw Li Ze walking towards the substitute, he immediately went up and clapped his hands to celebrate.
"Perfect rhythm! A couple of passes are beautiful!"
Paul could see it clearly off the court. He felt that Li Ze's movement control skills were getting better and better. Seeing the golden thighs return to his seat, he immediately sent out words of praise.
"I also feel that Kayce seems to have improved after the All-Star Weekend. He seems to be able to easily control the rhythm of the game. It's an indescribable feeling."
Wearing a tracksuit and not yet fully recovered, Crawford followed suit, flattering the bench for a while.
"Keep the lead and win the game in one breath. Next month we will break the best record in history!"
Li Ze didn't dare to relax. He clapped his hands and continued to encourage his teammates. Three-pointers are always a double-edged sword. He doesn't want to be overturned by the Warriors
In the next game, Li Ze was replaced with 2 minutes and 4 seconds left in the second quarter. Paul led the main lineup and finally successfully withstood the Warriors' counterattack.
Trailing by double digits at halftime, the Warriors' offensive firepower remained undiminished in the third quarter, but the point difference has always fluctuated back and forth by 3 points.
In the last quarter of the game, with Clay's 7-for-2, the Warriors' offensive firepower finally couldn't stand it anymore. After a wave of 10:0 by the Clippers, the game was completely gone.
With 3 minutes and 02 seconds left in the game, the main lineup was replaced. Curry walked to the bench, feeling a little disappointed. He was in good form tonight, but his playing time was cut into pieces
"Stephen, this is just a regular season. We need to keep your playing time below 37 minutes. Take a good rest. After that, we still have back-to-back games to play!"
Steve Kerr naturally saw Curry's reluctance, but he was willing to give up. In the eyes of the team, Curry, who had undergone ankle surgery, was still an easily injured player.
Clay returned to the bench, and he could feel the joy of the fans:
"Next season, we will also challenge for the best record in history!"
Curry was a little surprised. He glanced at Clay wearing a towel, and finally stretched out his fist, and the two greeted with a fist bump:
"Yes, we are the best team in the league! Our regular season record will be even better next season!"
Everyone in the Warriors was a little disappointed. Losing this game also brought their record to 60 wins and 14 losses. Most importantly, they failed to stop the Clippers. They may have to witness a new record.
The final buzz sounded, 110:122, the Clippers successfully defeated the Warriors.
The Staples Arena was full of jubilation, and Clippers fans knew that it would be difficult for them to overturn the April schedule!
After winning the Warriors, the Clippers flew to Portland non-stop to challenge the Trail Blazers back to back.
In this game, Li Ze's playing time reached a season high of 42 minutes. In the end, 121:115, the Clippers defeated their opponents with difficulty.
After a two-day break, the Clippers flew to Denver again, easily defeated the Nuggets, and ended the two away games. The coaching staff all smiled. The next four games were all in Los Angeles. The only away game happened to be against the Lakers team game.
The NBA has begun to build momentum for the Clippers, and the sports media seem to have forgotten their previous views, and everyone began to brag about the performance of the Clippers.
On April 4th, fans of Amelia will focus on the last game of the Clippers regular season this season.
The Suns have already decided to go home to fish, and tonight has become a historical background board again. The players were not in a high mood after they appeared on the field.
Especially in the second quarter, after 2:17 in a single quarter, the Suns players gave up completely.
At 43:69 in the half, the Clippers led by 26 points, and the Staples Arena was full of jubilation. Clippers fans were celebrating crazily. Tonight they witnessed history.
Although this game was not broadcast live across the United States, Fox, as a regional broadcaster, made great efforts to follow the Clippers all the way.
During the intermission, Steve Ballmer began to celebrate with the fans at the scene. The old man was so happy that they broke the best record in history!
In the second half of the game, the Suns played the game step by step. When the buzzer sounded at the end, they simply hugged and greeted everyone in the Clippers, then turned their heads and left, and quickly walked to the player channel.
Li Ze changed into his training uniform early on. After the game, feeling the joyous atmosphere at the scene, he also laughed and raised his hands, high-fiving the fans.
On the big screen in the center of the field, the regular season record rankings in NBA history were also immediately displayed.
With 73 wins and 9 losses, the Clippers broke the record created by the Bulls, and a new history was born at this moment!
The Clippers huddled together, screaming along with the fans at the scene.
The sports media instantly surrounded Li Ze. Li Ze yelled and then raised a finger:
"WOW"
"We did it! The best record in history now belongs to the Clippers!"
Thank you for your subscription support~
The average order on the recommendation has also increased a little~
Thanks again for your support!
(End of this chapter)
In the 14-15 season, as the regular season is coming to an end, fans will once again turn their attention to the Clippers.
On March 3, the NBA announced the Player of the Month for February, and LeBron James of the Eastern League and Li Ze of the Western League won the awards respectively.
The Cavaliers finally had a record of 2 wins and 8 losses in February. After the All-Star Weekend, they once again hit a winning streak.
勒布朗-詹姆斯场均出场32.6分钟,可以拿到24.4分6.6篮板7.3助攻1.6抢断0.3盖帽5.5失误;
The shooting percentage was 48.1%, the three-point shooting percentage was 27.3%, and the free throw percentage was 72.1%.
Although LeBron James won the award, America's critics didn't hold back:
"Compared to the state of the Heat, LeBron James has begun to decline after losing weight!"
After the All-Star Weekend, the Clippers finally lost to the Grizzlies in an away game. In three games, two Grizzlies and one Rockets, fortunately they managed to get over it, and finally achieved a record of 2 wins and 10 loss in February.
李泽场均出场36.8分钟,拿到33.2分5.7篮板6.3助攻2.7抢断0.3盖帽1.8失误;
The shooting percentage was 58.7%, the three-point shooting percentage was 49.8%, and the free throw percentage was 94.2%.
After the All-Star Weekend, Li Ze's efficiency dropped a bit due to the increase in the number of shots taken. However, the sports media in Amelica don't care about the decline in Li Ze's efficiency, so it's over:
"This is the strength of No.1 in the league. No player can come close to Kayce!"
This year's Best of the Month awards are currently being taken over by Li Ze. The Clippers' record crushes all teams, and Li Ze's data crushes all players.
ESPN even organized the media to conduct anonymous mock voting, and there is basically no suspense for the MVP
In early March, the Clippers survived back-to-back away games between the Bulls and Timberwolves, only to capsize when they returned home on the night of the 3th.
At 102:93, the Trail Blazers suppressed the Clippers and finally won easily.
Of course, the biggest reason for the loss was that both Crawford and Barnes were sidelined due to injuries, while Dudley, who got the chance to start, was completely out of shape, and Tucker on the bench was also bumming.
In addition, Jordan made 10 of 2 free throws that night, scored 6 points and 12 rebounds, and the Clippers directly explained.
Losing this game also brought the Clippers' record to 55 wins and 7 losses. Although they continue to lead the league, many critics said that it will be difficult for the Clippers to break the regular season record created by the Bulls.
That night, the Warriors defeated the Bucks again, with a record of 47 wins and 12 losses. However, the media reporters in America are no longer interested in the Warriors. The second in the league is not worthy of attention.
The coaching staff of the Clippers is always paying attention to the state of the Warriors. With David Lee and Bogut returning from injury, the state of the Warriors is getting better and better.
更让教练组感到惊奇的是,德雷蒙德-格林越来越出色,在和雄鹿队的比赛中,14中9,三分球9中4,拿到23分12篮板5助攻3抢断3盖帽1失误。
Not only can it protect the rebounds, but it can also open up the offensive space for the team, and it also has a good shooting percentage outside the three-point line.
On the morning of the 5th, the players were on vacation, and the coaching staff of the Clippers was still collecting information on the playoff teams.
"We should make the lineup smaller. Andrew is not suitable for defending pick-and-rolls, and Nikola is the same. With two big men on the court, it is difficult for us to make a difference on the defensive end. After all, the Warriors are an outside team."
Assistant coach Tyronn Lue has been thinking about the Warriors' team building ideas recently and has collected a lot of Warriors' tactics.
The Warriors are not only a stumbling block to their regular season record, but they are also likely to be the biggest opponent in this year's playoffs. Through a large amount of data analysis, Tyronn Lue directly gave suggestions.
Head coach De Nagro frowned. Instead of discussing the lineup with the assistant coach, he consulted the team doctor again:
"How is Jamal's injury? Can he recover before the playoffs?"
"The right calf is deeply contused. If the situation goes well, he may be able to return in early April, but this injury is bound to affect his state."
Hearing the answer given by the team doctor, Coach De Nagro cursed inwardly.
In the game against the Timberwolves on the 2nd, Crawford was directly injured by a simple collision.
At the time, no one paid attention to it, but after flying back to Los Angeles, after careful inspection, it turned out to be a deep contusion.
At present, the veteran can't train at all, and he can't even run. In addition, Griffin's recovery is lower than expected, and De Nagro's head coach is also a little numb.
Everyone in the coaching staff certainly knows what De Nagro is worried about, and also understands his hesitation. No one can refuse the record of 72 wins, which is the best record in history!
"Let's try again and see how it goes until the end of March, April, we have a very good schedule!"
"And Lu is right. We can allow the rotation to have more playing time. Everyone is in good shape recently, and we can properly give up two games back to back."
In the end, head coach De Nagro could only nod helplessly. He couldn't afford to be injured. The coaching staff didn't want Li Ze's playing time to reach 40+. Compared with the record, everyone cared more about the championship.
If you get the record, but fall in the playoffs in the end, it will become a big joke.
In the next week's game, both Bullock and Ingles at the end of the bench got more playing time, and Jokic temporarily secured his starting position.
On the 9th, after losing back-to-back away games to the Warriors, on the night of the 13th, the Clippers capsized again and lost to the Mavericks who felt overwhelming.
In 4 consecutive away games, the Clippers have 2 wins and 2 losses, barely meeting the expectations of the coaching staff.
On March 3th, the Clippers finally returned home and defeated the Rockets 15:100.
The record came to 58 wins and 9 losses. Considering that there are still 15 games to follow, American media reporters believe that it will be difficult for the Clippers to break the best record in the regular season.
At the post-match press conference that night, the sports media at the scene saw Li Ze's relaxed expression, and immediately started asking questions:
"Kayce, do you think the Clippers have a chance to beat the best record in the regular season?"
Li Ze, who was wearing a light gray casual suit jacket, heard such a question, and immediately answered confidently:
"Of course, I don't mean to disrespect the opponent. Our follow-up schedule is relatively easy!"
The sports media at the scene thought that the Clippers' consecutive away games were indeed full of big teams, so they could only smile and nod in agreement.
"Paul! You haven't had any injuries this season. I think many fans are very curious about how you take care of your body?"
Paul looked serious. He was already worried about his record, but when he heard such a question, he answered patiently:
"Consecutive playoffs and championships, we played more games than other teams, so I will choose vegetarian food for many times this season, which helps me a lot."
"Of course the most important thing is that we trust each other on the court. The pressure of the game is not high. I hope that more players in the future can accept some vegetarian ideas."
Li Ze seriously suspects that the reporters in the audience are just childcare. Chairman Pao just recently invested in a vegetarian company, and this problem turned out to be the case.
At the press conference, most of them were business bragging, but in the end the TNT reporter asked another question:
"Kayce, at the end of March, you will face the Warriors at home. If you lose this game, you will not be able to break the regular season record."
"What do you think of the Warriors as an opponent?"
Li Ze has answered this question too many times, so this time he just shrugged his shoulders:
"52 wins and 13 losses, the Warriors have an excellent record, but at the end of the month, we will win, or we will win until the end of the regular season."
"No matter who the opponent is, we will win the game in the final stage!"
"."
On the 16th, fans of America were discussing Kyrie Irving's 57 points and whether the Clippers could break the regular season record.
In the game against the Spurs two days ago, Irving broke out completely. In the case of overtime, he made 32 of 20, including 7 of 7 three-pointers, 10 of 10 free throws, and scored 57 points!
57 points is also the highest score of the season. Irving's excellent state has allowed the Cavaliers' record to rise all the way. In addition, LeBron James' state has also recovered, and America's fools began to sing praises for the Cavaliers.
In the TNT program, O'Neal turned into a Cavaliers fan again, facing the camera with crazy poisonous milk:
"This is the Cavaliers we are looking forward to. The cooperation between Irving and LeBron is becoming more and more tacit. I believe they can reach the finals this year."
When the host Ernie Johnson heard such a prediction, he immediately smiled and asked:
"Don't forget that they just lost to the Eagles, which ranked first in the East, not long ago. Obviously, the Cavaliers still have a lot of problems."
Charles Barkley very much agreed with O'Neill's point of view and immediately refuted:
"The playoffs are different from the regular season. I think Irving is underestimated. He is definitely a player with a big heart, and the Cavaliers are getting better and better!"
"I remember after the All-Star weekend, you were still optimistic that the Eagles could reach the finals! Chuck, you should continue to insist on your point of view."
Kenny Smith immediately teased his old partner. Seeing that the discussion between several people became more and more biased, the host Ernie Johnson changed the subject and said:
"Do you think the Clippers have a chance to beat the best record in the regular season?"
Kenny Smith is not very optimistic about the Clippers at this time. Losing two games last week seems to indicate that the Clippers have reached their limit:
"They have encountered too many injuries recently, and the Warriors suffered from injuries in the first half and were more stable in the second half. From this point of view, the Clippers may continue to lose."
Charles Barkley said seriously at this time:
"Compared to the championship, maybe the Clippers should give up the regular season record. If they don't pursue the record, they can calmly carry out lineup rotation."
"The championship is the most important thing. We all know that Kayce has good physical fitness, but looking at LeBron's state this season, he has begun to decline!"
"Everyone's body has limits. The Clippers players have played a lot of games. If they want to successfully defend their title, they should make plans early!"
O'Neill suddenly interjected at this time, and changed the topic again:
"LeBron James is only 30 years old, I don't think his form has started to decline!"
Charles Barkley immediately widened his eyes and said loudly:
"Come on! It's obviously a decline. He can't return to the state of the Heat, and Kayce is the same. As he grows older, his state will decline after the age of 30."
Host Ernie Johnson smiled and shook his head:
"This is definitely a boring topic. Kayce is only 24 years old. He can continue to rule the league for at least 10 years. No one can come close to him!"
Kenny Smith also turned on the Li Zechuan mode again:
"I agree with this point of view. Of course, I am just giving advice. I believe that Kayce's strength is immeasurable as a superstar. We only need to wait until the end of the month to know the answer!"
"."
No matter what the media discussed, the Clippers once again performed perfectly in the subsequent tour of abuse!
On March 3th, at the Madison Square Garden Arena, New York fans were completely paralyzed.
At 65:32 in the half, the Knicks had trailed by 33 points.
During the intermission, the fans in New York kept booing and cursing, it was too bad!
Fans in New York were blown away by such a poor performance in a nationally televised game.
In the ESPN commentary booth at the scene, Mark Jackson's ears were full of "Fack" voices, the fans were yelling at Fisher, and the rookie coach directly ruined their team!
"It seems that the game is over. I don't mean to disrespect the Knicks players, but the gap between them and the Clippers is too big!"
Mark Jackson didn't expect that the Knicks, which had a decent performance last season, were completely rotten this year.
Jeff Van Gundy was a little disappointed. He had a special feeling for the Knicks. This was the beginning of his coaching career, but seeing the team rotten like this, he could only whisper:
"Stoudemire was cut, but the team failed to make any reinforcements. I understand that the Knicks want to try their luck in the draft, but the fans don't like this kind of game!"
"Carmelo Anthony is injured again. It is not easy for many fans to come to watch the game. As a national live broadcast, I can only say that the performance of the Knicks is too disappointing."
Announcer Mike Breen began to change the subject. He didn't want to criticize the Knicks too much on the national broadcast:
"Kayce is in very good form. He made all 11 shots in the half, including 4 three-pointers, 30 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Unfortunately, there is a high probability that he will only play a few minutes in the third quarter."
Mark Jackson also took over the conversation at this time:
"Winning this game, the Clippers have won 6 consecutive victories, and their record has reached 63 wins and 9 losses. Maybe this year we have the opportunity to witness a new record."
At halftime, in the Clippers locker room, Jokic was smiling again. He made 6 of 5 in the half, easily scored 10 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block. He hoped to get another double-double tonight.
"After playing, pay attention to my pass, let's get more data!"
Jokic reminded Ingles in a low voice that the two are both players with no guarantee contracts and basically have the same interests.
Fatty Bai knew that the playing time of the main lineup would decrease sharply in the second half, so he could gain a firm foothold in the Clippers by helping each other.
"Don't worry! I will seize the opportunity."
Barnes is getting old and has injuries, which makes Ingles also see hope. Maybe he has the opportunity to become the team's eighth man in the future. He attaches great importance to any game.
Griffin also entered the 12-man roster tonight, but out of prudent considerations, the coaching staff still failed to let the superficial brothers appear on the stage.
"How are you feeling, Blake? No need to worry about the team's record."
Hearing Li Ze's question, Griffin moved his right arm again, and finally said in a firm tone:
"It's definitely fine, but the team doctor thinks it needs to be observed for a few days."
Paul was still calculating the schedule for April, and finally said quite rigorously:
"Theoretically, April is easier. We have two Lakers games to play, and we don't have to fly around, and we can keep playing in Los Angeles."
"As long as we survive the game in March, we have a chance to make new history!"
When the atmosphere group thought that the team could break the regular season record of 72 wins, they immediately shouted excitedly:
"No problem, fortunately, the Eastern team has no combat power during this time, and we are not tired!"
"The 76ers and Celtics will not be our opponents, they are all ready to go fishing."
Hearing everyone's comments, Li Ze shook his head with a smile. At the end of the season, many teams are simply ruined.
Of course, the Celtics can still get a playoff spot, and the teams behind the Eastern Conference are really bad.
In the second half of the game, Li Ze only played for 4 minutes and then took a rest. The 30-point gap was really too big.
Amid the curses of the New York fans, in the end, at 116:80, the Clippers beat the Knicks by 36 points in an away game.
The score in several consecutive games was less than [-], which made the New York media break their defenses. After the game, apart from praising Li Ze's performance, the rest was cursing Fisher. Where did the triangle offense go?
In the next two away games, the Clippers showed extreme offensive firepower, scoring 119 points in both games, and their record came to 65 wins and 9 losses.
After returning to Los Angeles, the NBA began to frantically promote the game on the night of the 31st. TNT, as the broadcaster of the game, began to promote continuously in mid-March.
The Warriors currently have a record of 60 wins and 13 losses, ranking second in the league. Many games are played in three quarters. Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green have formed a chemical reaction.
Iguodala has also adapted to the role of the sixth man, and David Lee, Livingston, Barbosa, and Speights have also contributed.
If it weren't for the Clippers, perhaps the reporters of the American media would have shouted "Warriors championship!"
On the night of the 31st, at the Staples Arena, the fans screamed with excitement from the start of the game.
After the opening, Green was blown a mobile screen, and then the Warriors let Bogut come outside the three-point line to support him.
The veteran Barnes returned from injury tonight, but in the first half of the game, he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the Warriors. He ran and ran, and the defense was gone.
The official timeout of the first quarter, the score on the field came to 1:17, and the Warriors temporarily led by 15 points.
Jokic is a little uncomfortable tonight. Green frequently pours the ball from the outside, and the Warriors cut more off the ball, making it difficult for him to keep up with the opponent's rhythm.
Coach De Nagro naturally saw the problem, but he didn't intend to make a substitution. Jokic's pick-and-roll quality is good, and his rebounds are also guaranteed. If he is replaced by a smaller man, he may not be able to withstand the rush of the Warriors. .
On the other side of the Warriors bench, Steve Kerr is still encouraging his players:
"Don't care about the referee's whistle! We need to play our own rhythm, screen, cut, pop, pass, trust each other, do you want to see each other break the regular season record?"
Green replenished his water and nodded immediately when he heard what the coach said. After the opening, the referee blew him a mobile screen, which made him a little cautious.
Hearing Steve Kerr's encouragement, he immediately applauded enthusiastically, constantly encouraging himself.
After the official timeout, the two sides did not carry out personnel rotation. The Warriors took the lead in attacking. In the Staples Arena, the fans immediately cheered for the home team's defense:
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
When Curry dribbled halfway, Paul noticed that the two insiders of the Warriors were standing in the left and right elbows of the free throw line. Curry quickly put the ball to Bogut in the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line, and then immediately cut without the ball.
Paul followed up immediately, and Bogut immediately gave the ball to Harrison Barnes on the right wing outside the three-point line.
Curry was a simple UCLA cut at the beginning, but just entered the paint area, suddenly ran back up the line, and quickly passed through the middle of the free throw line.
Although Paul pursued the defense very quickly, Bogut and Green both took a step to the middle at the same time, closed the defense, and directly blocked Paul at the free throw line.
Harrison Barnes saw Curry appearing at the top of the arc, and immediately sent a cross pass. The latter received the pass without making too many adjustments, and threw it away!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
"This is obviously a mobile screen, and the opponent blocked my player at the free throw line!"
The head coach De Nagro was very dissatisfied with the penalty of this round and immediately complained to the line referee, but unfortunately the other party did not respond and just signaled the game to continue.
Just as Paul was about to complain to the referee, he calmed down when he saw Li Ze waving his hand.
While serving from the baseline, Li Ze also made an offensive gesture to his teammates, and then the two dribbled slowly across the half court.
Jokic and Jordan also stood at the two elbows on the left and right sides of the free throw line. After halftime, Paul immediately gave the ball to Li Ze on the left flank of the free throw line.
After receiving the pass, Li Ze didn't stop the ball. When he encountered Clay's defense, he quickly gave the ball to Jokic in the elbow area on the left side of the free throw line.
Then Li Ze quickly cut diagonally without the ball, fearing Jokic's passing ability, Clay continued to stick to the defense, and Green also focused his defensive attention on Li Ze.
After receiving the pass, Jokic turned around and seemed to be about to give the ball to Li Ze, who was cutting in. Paul at the top of the arc suddenly accelerated, and when he quickly came to the left wing outside the three-point line, Jokic immediately gave the ball to the outside. Paul.
Li Ze, who cut into the paint area, accelerated to run back at this time, and bounced from the free throw line in the middle.
The sudden acceleration caused Clay's defense to lose its position. When he tried to chase again, he saw Jokic took a step sideways. Coupled with Jordan's cooperation, Clay's defense was immediately slowed down.
Li Ze easily bounced to the top of the arc outside the three-point line, received a pass from Paul, faced Clay who was defending, and quickly shot a three-pointer!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
Hearing the cheers of the fans at the scene, Clay became a little numb. This set of tactics is exactly the same as that of the Warriors. They all use the mobile cover to create opportunities for the shooter.
When Paul saw Li Ze score a goal, he was immediately overjoyed, and he returned it to him in the same way. Let's play together and see who can throw it correctly!
Reggie Miller laughed when he saw two teams playing the same tactics:
"It's so interesting! I think Mark must be very proud at this time. The tactics he designed have been widely used. The Warriors must be careful not to let Kayce find the touch outside the three-point line."
Steve Kerr on the sidelines immediately gestured to the players to continue. On the other side, the head coach De Nagro chuckled, and finally sat back on the bench without arguing with the referee.
The Warriors played the same tactic twice in a row. Curry hit a three-pointer again, but Clay's shooting was interfered by Li Ze and finally hit the iron.
The long rebound popped up, and Jokic immediately took it. Instead of giving the ball to Paul, who was next to him, he quickly threw the ball to Li Ze, who had already crossed the half court.
After receiving the pass, Li Ze took the opportunity to put the ball with his left hand, and Clay stuck to it tightly, preventing Li Ze from getting up to speed easily.
Everyone in the Warriors also retreated quickly, without a chance to switch offense, Li Ze immediately returned the ball to Paul at the logo position.
Green saw Jokic move to the left elbow, thinking that the Clippers were going to play the same tactic again, and immediately called his teammates to pay attention to switch defenses, and saw Jokic had received the ball in the next second.
Curry saw Paul handing over the ball, and when he heard Green's reminder, he immediately posted it next to Paul. As a result, the Clippers' offense was simple and rough this time. Li Ze cut in from the left 45 degrees without the ball. , linear acceleration.
Before Clay could react, Jokic held the ball and threw it to the upper left of the basket, and Li Ze, who rushed to the left block, suddenly flew into the air.
Catch the ball in the air, pull the ball back slightly with your right hand, and then swing your arm to smash the dunk!
"Boom!" The empty catch dunk was successful!
From the cut to the dunk, it happened too quickly. Clay, who was following Li Ze, couldn't even make a defensive move, and Li Ze completed the dunk dunk.
The wonderful dunk once again ignited the atmosphere of the Staples Arena, and the fans cheered happily.
Steve Kerr rubbed his brows, he can handle the ball, he can switch seamlessly without the ball, as long as the Clippers have a good passer, Li Ze can fully fire.
In the next few minutes, the Warriors felt explosive, cutting in, making three-pointers, scoring consecutive goals, and scoring mid-range shots after the screen.
The Clippers also responded easily. Li Ze cut in without the ball, turned around and made a fallback jumper after asking for the ball in the low post, and scored consecutive mid-range shots with the ball after the pick-and-roll.
The Warriors frequently ran tactics, and the Clippers played more and more easily.
This time Green dealt the card at the top of the arc, and saw that Kelai used the cover of Bogut's right side near the bottom line, slid out of the bottom line and bounced to the right flank, and immediately sent a cross pass.
Just when the ball was about to fly into Clay's hands, Li Ze, who was chasing and defending, suddenly accelerated, leaped forward, and easily completed the interception.
With the ball in his right hand, he accelerated with all his strength and rushed across the half court. Clay, who was chasing desperately, saw that Li Ze was almost flying directly on the free throw line.
"Wonderful game! This is the Warriors' first turnover in this game. It can be seen that the Clippers have adapted to the Warriors' style of play."
The commentator Kevin Harlan was hooked. The two sides were almost fighting each other, and the hit rate was extremely high!
In the Staples Arena, the Clippers fans finally breathed a sigh of relief. At 30:34, the point difference returned to 4 points again.
At this time, with the last 36 seconds left in the first quarter, the Warriors did not rush to attack, but slowed down the rhythm and began to control the time.
With 10 seconds left on the offensive clock, Bogut immediately came to the three-point line to perform a high pick-and-roll. Curry, holding the ball in his left hand, first circled the ball behind his back, and then quickly changed direction with his crotch. With the help of a screen, he briefly got rid of Paul's defense.
Close to the three-point line, the left hand made a small in and out, and worshiped Buddha slightly. After changing the rhythm, Curry suddenly accelerated and passed Jordan in an instant.
The defense was out of position, Jordan desperately chased and defended, Curry ignored the defender behind him, approached the basket, and finally hit the board with his left hand and shot high!
"Bang! Swish" two points scored again.
"Shh!"
After scoring the goal, Curry looked very excited. He hasn't missed a big game tonight.
In the last attack of the Clippers, Paul noticed that Clay was almost hanging on Li Ze, and immediately accelerated after sending the baseline ball.
Immediately after halftime, he picked and rolled Jokic at the top of the arc, changed direction in front of his left hand, and then turned around sharply with his right hand. With Jokic's cover, Paul easily got rid of Curry's defense.
Green immediately chose to step forward to help defend, Paul did not hesitate, and immediately gave the ball to Jokic who was running down.
Bogut in the right block immediately returned to defense. Seeing Li Ze's eyes, Jordan Jr. moved two steps and approached the three-point line to make an up screen.
Clay kept his back to the basket and didn't notice Jordan's movements at all. Just as Jokic was going down, Li Ze suddenly accelerated laterally and moved quickly to the right corner.
Clay, who was chasing and defending, bumped into Jordan at once, and in the next second he saw the ball directly appearing in the hands of Li Ze in the right corner.
With no defense, Li Ze made an easy jump shot from outside the three-point line!
"Shh!"
"buzz"
The referee immediately indicated that the goal was valid. At 32:37, the Clippers led by 5 points in the first quarter.
"Both teams played a very smooth offense. Curry was 6 of 5, including 2 of 2 three-pointers, and scored 12 points. Thompson was 6 of 4, 2 of 1 from beyond the three-point line, and scored 11 points. "
"The Warriors once again showed us their terrifying shooting ability!"
The commentator Kevin Harlan looked at the technical statistics in his hands and praised the performance of the Warriors.
"Steve really put the Warriors in a ball, and there were only two turnovers in the first quarter, which is very rare."
"Of course, the defensive problem still hasn't been resolved. Kayce made 8 of 7 in a single quarter, including 3 of 2 three-pointers and 2 of 2 free throws. In the second half of the game, he was fully fired and scored 18 points efficiently."
"I'm looking forward to how the Warriors will make adjustments in the following games."
Reggie Miller looked at the technical statistics in his hand with a smile, and turned into Li Zechuan again
Steve Kerr really had a headache. He didn't know how to defend Li Ze at all. Facing double-teams, the Clippers stood at the free throw line with Jokic and Paul outside the three-point line.
What makes him feel most helpless is that Li Ze's running without the ball can always find a 1-on-1 opportunity. As long as he receives a pass, he can complete the attack in a few seconds, and he doesn't give the Warriors too many double-teams at all. Chance
Noticing that Curry was eager to try, Steve Kerr still did not choose to smash the main force, allowing Curry to play the first quarter, he has made an exception.
"My physical fitness is fine, I can continue to play!"
There are too many three quarters this season, so Curry has been in good physical condition. Seeing Li Ze on the Clippers side preparing to play, I couldn't help asking Cole.
"Stephen, we must be cautious. The team doctor reminded me that your ankle is still a potential injury."
"Don't compare yourself to Kayce, he's taller than you, he's much stronger than you, playing 48 minutes is no pressure for him, and we need you to stay healthy."
Steve Kerr briefly comforted Curry, then turned his head and said to Iguodala:
"Andre, try your best to defend, don't let him shoot easily!"
Livingston, Barbosa, Iguodala, David Lee, Speights play in rotation;
For the Clippers, Li Ze took the lead, and Reggie Bullock, Ingles, Tucker, and Hawes, one big and four small, continued to play.
Dudley sat on the bench depressingly, and after a few away games, coach De Nagro finally allocated his time to Reggie Bullock and Ingles, who performed better.
Although the three-pointers of these two are also unstable, the defensive end is absolutely desperate.
The fans at the scene saw Li Ze directly appearing on the stage, and started to cheer loudly again. After winning tonight's game, they will have the opportunity to witness history in April!
The Warriors took the lead in attacking, with a simple outside pass, Livingston immediately gave the ball to David Lee who wanted the ball in the low post on the left.
At the moment the opponent passed the ball, Ingles immediately rushed to David Lee's side and cooperated with Tucker to attack back and forth.
David Lee only played with his back, and immediately threw the ball into the hands of Livingston who was outside the three-point line in the face of a double-team.
Facing Ingles, who was slipping again to defend, Livingston, who was catching the ball again, released the ball with his right hand and made a breakthrough, took a big step, and made a mid-range jump shot!
"Bang!" Angrily hit an iron.
The long rebound popped out, and Li Ze stuck Iguodala behind him, and finally accepted the rebound easily.
Not in a hurry to launch a transition attack, Li Ze first made an offensive gesture, steadily protected the ball, ignored Iguodala's interference, and quickly dribbled across the half.
Noticing that Hawes behind him had already stood on the three-point line at the top of the arc, Iguodala continued to focus his defensive attention on Li Ze, and at the same time shouted loudly:
"Pay attention to switch defenses!"
Speights kept looking at Li Ze's movements. Seeing Li Ze, who was holding the ball in his right hand, suddenly circling the ball behind his back and then stepping down and changing directions to break through from the right, he immediately focused his defensive attention on Li Ze.
Iguodala squeezed through the screen, and Speights noticed that his teammate was stuck halfway, and immediately helped to defend the delay.
Neither of them noticed that Hawes stopped directly at the free throw line when he went down, and took advantage of the opportunity to set another screen for Ingles.
With the help of cover, Ingles quickly bounced to the left flank beyond the three-point line. Livingston had no time to chase and defend, and Li Ze, who broke through on the other side, had already jumped up and threw the ball.
The moment the ball arrives, Ingles immediately lifts the ball, without any adjustments, and fires directly from outside the three-point line!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!
Immediately after scoring the goal, Ingles gave Li Zebi a thumbs up, and the passing rhythm was very good!
In the next few rounds, the Clippers followed suit, covering the free throw line, ambushing in the bottom corner, and Li Ze went on the line and continued to pick and roll.
As the Warriors hit two irons in a row, Bullock and Tucker threw three-pointers, the score on the court came to 32:46, and the point difference instantly became 14 points.
Steve Kerr rubbed his forehead on the sidelines and asked for a timeout helplessly.
On the Clippers' bench, Paul screamed with his sick number and the atmosphere group. When he saw Li Ze walking towards the substitute, he immediately went up and clapped his hands to celebrate.
"Perfect rhythm! A couple of passes are beautiful!"
Paul could see it clearly off the court. He felt that Li Ze's movement control skills were getting better and better. Seeing the golden thighs return to his seat, he immediately sent out words of praise.
"I also feel that Kayce seems to have improved after the All-Star Weekend. He seems to be able to easily control the rhythm of the game. It's an indescribable feeling."
Wearing a tracksuit and not yet fully recovered, Crawford followed suit, flattering the bench for a while.
"Keep the lead and win the game in one breath. Next month we will break the best record in history!"
Li Ze didn't dare to relax. He clapped his hands and continued to encourage his teammates. Three-pointers are always a double-edged sword. He doesn't want to be overturned by the Warriors
In the next game, Li Ze was replaced with 2 minutes and 4 seconds left in the second quarter. Paul led the main lineup and finally successfully withstood the Warriors' counterattack.
Trailing by double digits at halftime, the Warriors' offensive firepower remained undiminished in the third quarter, but the point difference has always fluctuated back and forth by 3 points.
In the last quarter of the game, with Clay's 7-for-2, the Warriors' offensive firepower finally couldn't stand it anymore. After a wave of 10:0 by the Clippers, the game was completely gone.
With 3 minutes and 02 seconds left in the game, the main lineup was replaced. Curry walked to the bench, feeling a little disappointed. He was in good form tonight, but his playing time was cut into pieces
"Stephen, this is just a regular season. We need to keep your playing time below 37 minutes. Take a good rest. After that, we still have back-to-back games to play!"
Steve Kerr naturally saw Curry's reluctance, but he was willing to give up. In the eyes of the team, Curry, who had undergone ankle surgery, was still an easily injured player.
Clay returned to the bench, and he could feel the joy of the fans:
"Next season, we will also challenge for the best record in history!"
Curry was a little surprised. He glanced at Clay wearing a towel, and finally stretched out his fist, and the two greeted with a fist bump:
"Yes, we are the best team in the league! Our regular season record will be even better next season!"
Everyone in the Warriors was a little disappointed. Losing this game also brought their record to 60 wins and 14 losses. Most importantly, they failed to stop the Clippers. They may have to witness a new record.
The final buzz sounded, 110:122, the Clippers successfully defeated the Warriors.
The Staples Arena was full of jubilation, and Clippers fans knew that it would be difficult for them to overturn the April schedule!
After winning the Warriors, the Clippers flew to Portland non-stop to challenge the Trail Blazers back to back.
In this game, Li Ze's playing time reached a season high of 42 minutes. In the end, 121:115, the Clippers defeated their opponents with difficulty.
After a two-day break, the Clippers flew to Denver again, easily defeated the Nuggets, and ended the two away games. The coaching staff all smiled. The next four games were all in Los Angeles. The only away game happened to be against the Lakers team game.
The NBA has begun to build momentum for the Clippers, and the sports media seem to have forgotten their previous views, and everyone began to brag about the performance of the Clippers.
On April 4th, fans of Amelia will focus on the last game of the Clippers regular season this season.
The Suns have already decided to go home to fish, and tonight has become a historical background board again. The players were not in a high mood after they appeared on the field.
Especially in the second quarter, after 2:17 in a single quarter, the Suns players gave up completely.
At 43:69 in the half, the Clippers led by 26 points, and the Staples Arena was full of jubilation. Clippers fans were celebrating crazily. Tonight they witnessed history.
Although this game was not broadcast live across the United States, Fox, as a regional broadcaster, made great efforts to follow the Clippers all the way.
During the intermission, Steve Ballmer began to celebrate with the fans at the scene. The old man was so happy that they broke the best record in history!
In the second half of the game, the Suns played the game step by step. When the buzzer sounded at the end, they simply hugged and greeted everyone in the Clippers, then turned their heads and left, and quickly walked to the player channel.
Li Ze changed into his training uniform early on. After the game, feeling the joyous atmosphere at the scene, he also laughed and raised his hands, high-fiving the fans.
On the big screen in the center of the field, the regular season record rankings in NBA history were also immediately displayed.
With 73 wins and 9 losses, the Clippers broke the record created by the Bulls, and a new history was born at this moment!
The Clippers huddled together, screaming along with the fans at the scene.
The sports media instantly surrounded Li Ze. Li Ze yelled and then raised a finger:
"WOW"
"We did it! The best record in history now belongs to the Clippers!"
