Standing pretty old

Chapter 202 He is the leader

The atmosphere in the Clippers' locker room was good, but on the Hawks' side, Woodson also exceeded everyone's expectations and did not lose his temper.

Egghead looked at the crowd and said, "As long as you defend well, I have no reason to blame you."

Then, he said to Ruan Erniu alone: ​​"Kafu, are you physically strong enough? Do you need to rest after the game?"

Ruan Erniu said: "I feel very good, don't replace me, I have plenty of time to rest after I die."

Lunar Eclipse smiled: "Isn't that a famous quote from Barkley? Kraft, take it easy, this is not the playoffs."

Er Niu said to Eclipse: "But this is also the first time I have returned to Los Angeles to play after joining the NBA. I hope to prove myself in front of my friends."

Jon Jonson said: "It seems that even if the Clippers give you the tickets, they will be doomed. However, the people of California really support you. I heard the shouts of 'MVP' from the sidelines."

Marvin Williams said, "Because Kraft brought back the NCAA championship trophy for UCLA. It can even be said that the whole of California brought back the NCAA championship trophy. Back then, it was the same with Sean, Felton, and Rashad. In 05 , The whole of North Carolina is boiling."

Yue Eclipse said helplessly: "Hey, am I the only high school student left who can't get in the way?"

Larry Drew reminded from the side: "I don't think you should be too happy. No. 12 of the Clippers should pay more attention. He has already scored 16 points in the first half and his shooting percentage reached 70." %."

Lunar Eclipse shook his head and said, "I have almost sealed my hand to his face, where did this guy come from?"

Crazy Fan said disdainfully: "J-Smoove, that only proves that your movements are still a little too gentle, you should directly kick his ass."

……

The second half of the game began, and the two teams still played with the starting lineup.

At the beginning of this quarter, the lunar eclipse quickly entered the game state. Facing Quinton Rose's defense, he made an empty cut and ran back, received a ground pass from Ruan Erniu, and then made a double He dunked the basket with his arm and scored the first point of the second half for the Hawks.

Mid-range shots, dunks, small throws, and subsequent eclipses scored consecutive points on the offensive end, sweeping away the embarrassment of being blown up by the Clippers rookie in the first half.

But within a few minutes, the Clippers pulled their thighs and re-entered the court.Mike * Dunleavy also understands that the treasure must be placed on this rookie rookie today.

Only Al Thornton, who is also a young man, can not suffer physically from this young eagle.

Thornton entered the game state as soon as he came on the field.

He took the basketball from Cassell, faced the eclipse's defense, first made a tentative step, and then suddenly took the ball to the inside and killed it.

Of course, the lunar eclipse will block his way for a while.

Al Thornton stopped suddenly at about 15 feet, and then pulled up.

Eclipse also jumped up and reached Thornton's shot support hand with a wave.

won't go in!

The whistle has already sounded, and Eclipse can only hope that the ball will not go into the basket.

"Swipe!" The ball was scored, and Thornton had to add a penalty.Lunar Eclipse's luck today is obviously a little bit bad. Seeing that Al Thornton doesn't have any heavyweight superstar performances, he still has a way to score points from Lunar Eclipse.This embarrasses Lunar Eclipse, who is in charge of marking him.

Is this the end of El Thornton's show?
Of course not, in the next game, he still used unreasonable shots again and again to shoot the eclipse in the face.

Even the moon eclipse used some dirty tricks or tricks, but still failed to stop him.

As a rookie in the 07 class, Thornton's performance tonight clearly exceeded his draft pick.If he can maintain this state, it is not a dream to become the Clippers' starter in the future.

Now the question is back on the Hawks' side, as the Clippers put another tenacious close on the scoresheet.

As the leader of the team and the superstar of the league, Ruan Erniu has an obligation and must stand up at this time.

Ruan Erniu, who received the ball from a high position, passed Kaman in one step and sent the ball to the basket easily.

Immediately afterwards, the Celestial Man, who had retained his strength at the beginning of the third quarter, began to explode again.

Although fans who are familiar with the NBA have seen Ruan Erniu's ability to end the game more than once,

But the Clippers obviously didn't have this treatment, and they were a little confused.

Ruan Erniu was around 22 feet, passed the ball after receiving the pick-and-roll, and hit a large two-pointer.

Ruan Erniu hit Kaman in the paint, squeezed the German away and made a step-up layup to score.

Ruan Erniu blocked Tim Thomas' putback, grabbed the rebound, and drove all the way to the Clippers penalty area for a Tomahawk dunk.

Looking at the scene in front of him, the Clippers commentator Ralph Laule also had to admit: "If Kraft continues to continue the performance in front of him, it may be difficult for the Clippers to win this victory at home."

Mike Smith nodded and said: "The Celestials are too flexible. I have never seen a center who can directly dribble the ball across the half court. But looking at his size, I think this is a matter of course."

Laule nodded and said, "Maybe Kraft is creating a brand new concept of basketball -- the ball-handling center. If his assist ability can be improved to a higher level, it is obviously not impossible."

The commentator in the commentary booth commented on Ruan Erniu, and in the bar, coach Luke Holland also praised his disciple's performance.

He smiled and said to Rodriguez and others: "Kraft's performance is phenomenal. Do you know why he can easily gain a foothold in the league and play well? This is because he is always improving. Can you imagine how he stood like a log in a high position back then?"

Carlos Rodriguez said with a smile: "I really wanted to kick his ass. He was bluffing in the low post and always had a way to put the ball in the basket. In the high post, he became a stake. The breakthrough lines are blocked."

Luke Holland said: "He is now creating his own basketball skills. It is really rare for a center to have such a large offensive autonomy in this era.

You said, will there be such a day when the tall insiders of NBA teams will play skills in order to survive, and even participate in skill competitions collectively? "

Matthew Gable said: "So, I should come back early, maybe I can catch up with the All-Star Game."

Rodriguez directly gave the fat man a supercilious look, while Greg *accompanied the guest without any nonsense, and directly gave the guy the middle finger.

Luke Holland also understands his own thoughts, which did not resonate with his former players. However, as the coach who single-handedly pushed Ruan Erniu to the NCAA stage, Holland is still very confident. He understands that time will tell everything of.

Looking back from the outside to the inside, in the three quarters, Eagles leader Ruan Erniu finally resisted the Clippers' counterattack with his own counterattack in the second half of the quarter.

At 78:74, the two teams almost tied in the third, and they will still maintain a 4-point gap into the final quarter.

At the end of the three quarters, Ruan Erniu's data reached 41 points, 26 rebounds, 8 blocks, and 3 assists.

As the team leader, Ruan Erniu laid the foundation for the team's lead with a double-double performance of 13 points, 10 rebounds, 1 block, and 2 assists in a single quarter.

Whether it is the fans at the scene or the audience in front of the TV, they are all looking forward to the final game as soon as possible. Ruan Erniu's performance has become the weathervane of this game.
