Standing pretty old

Chapter 811 Summary Reversing Retirement

The San Antonio Spurs have served as the benchmark of the league since the end of the 20th century. Crossing this benchmark means that the team has the strength to hit the championship.

If you can't get past it, I'm sorry, no matter how good your regular season record is, you are still a fake strong team.

The reason why Er Niu was able to lead the team all the way to the finals and win the O'Brien Cup in the rookie season was not optimistic. Getting off the Spurs has a lot to do with it.

It can be said that defeating a strong team like the Spurs has an inestimable effect on a team that aspires to win the championship.

On the contrary, being killed by the Spurs in the strong dialogue proves from another angle that the current Clippers are still a certain distance from the championship.

"The team with Kraft Nguyen and CP3 should not be underestimated at any time. Their running-in has not been completed. I believe that when we meet again in the middle and late stages of the season, we will be able to see the strength of the two teams." Bo Povic, the old fox, was humbled in the post-match press conference.

However, from Er Niu's point of view, it's clearly a good thing to get cheap.

"We lost. The team does have a gap with the Spurs. This must be admitted." Coach Ruan admitted frankly.

An ESPN reporter asked maliciously: "Do you think today's loss is because Paul's performance dragged the team back?"

Ruan Erniu glared at the reporter and said, "No one will question the number one point guard in the league. Did you just join the industry today, or do you want to express some unconventional views?"

In tonight's game, the Spurs did their homework against the Clippers. Duncan sacrificed his data, held Ruan Erniu in the audience, and used the famous Jordan Rule 2. Tony Parker and George Hill took turns to consume CP3 and succeeded. suppressed Paul.

It is obviously inappropriate to attribute the team's failure to Paul alone.

Jordan, Kawhi, Frye, and Mo Williams all played poorly in this game, that is, Chauncey Billups and Sean Battier played more efficiently on the bench during the rotation time.

But even so, coupled with Er Niu's 50+ performance in a single game, the Clippers still lost by 8 points in the away game.

Losing is not terrible, life must go on.

After the Clippers ended the game against the Spurs, they returned to Los Angeles again, where they will usher in four consecutive home games.

But before that, they still have to perform rituals that Erniu had already arranged in their home court.

When the huge Tai Chi Eight Diagrams map was installed on the front wall of the Playa Vista training hall, the entire ceremony was officially over. (The Staples Center is the venue for the game, and the Lakers usually train at the Toyota Training Gym, while the Clippers are at the Playa Vista Gym.)
When Chris Paul watched Taoist priests with mahogany swords and magic bells leave the training hall one by one, he also asked in a low voice suspiciously: "This can break the curse?"

San Pao is a sensible person, Er Niu pouted and said: "It can break the curse in some people's hearts to a certain extent, but masters like us are definitely not counted, you will blame it for your poor performance on the field God?"

Paul nodded and said, "You are right, the strong will always help themselves!"

米国时间2011年12月30日，洛杉矶快船在斯塔普斯中心迎来了他们11-12赛季的第一个对手——芝加哥公牛队。

The Bulls' starting lineup tonight is:

C Joakim Noah
PF Carlos Boozer

SF Ruhr Deng

SG Richard Hamilton
PG Derek Rose
Among them, Hamilton just joined the Bulls this season with a two-year contract of 2 million yuan. The Clippers also hoped to introduce this excellent second position, but in the end they missed him because of salary space issues.

Er Niuyi likes shooting swingers very much. Compared with players like Mo and Foye who need a certain amount of ball possession to realize their strength, Hamilton, who hardly occupies the ball, is obviously more in line with Er Niu's team building ideas.

Before the start of the game, Erniu had a brief talk with Larry Drew, who just won the best coach last season, as usual.

Woodson and Drew are actually similar. Maybe they are not the top coaches in the league, but they happen to meet a lineup that matches their coaching style, and they can still tap the talent of the team.

Players and head coaches always complement each other. Talking about personal achievements apart from either party is like playing hooligans.

Even if Larry Brown, who claims to win the championship with civilians, really analyzes it carefully, if any coach who is persistent in defense gives him the peak lineup of the Pistons, I am afraid that he will have a chance to defeat the Lakers F4 with serious internal conflicts. .

Not to mention that Larry Brown directly crippled Darko Milicic.

The Clippers switched two starting positions in their first game in January:
C DeAndre Jordan
PF Ruan Erniu

SF Sean Shane Shane

SG Morris Williams
PG Chris Paul
Replacing Leonard with Battier was already in Erniu and Paul's plan, and this is also part of their mutual compromise. Kawhi does need to exercise, but from the perspective of actively winning, Batman is obviously smaller than facial paralysis Cute is more experienced.

As for replacing Randy Foye and replacing Mo, the Clippers are deliberately giving Mo Williams a chance to stat.

That's right, Ruan Erniu has already discussed with O'Hier, Paul and others, and plans to use Xiao Mo to trade. On the one hand, he has reasonable salary space, and on the other hand, he is also trying to find someone who can provide the Clippers with immediate combat power in the trading market. No. 2 position.

After the game started, Xiao Mo really found his touch on the offensive end. Although he couldn't defend against Hamilton, Mask Man also couldn't stop Xiao Mo on the defensive end.

With Erniu and Paul both feeding cakes and making balls for Mo in the first quarter, the latter scored three consecutive 3-pointers. While disrupting the Bulls' defensive deployment, it also allowed the Clippers to score 29:33. The lead ended the first quarter of the game.

Xiao Mo scored 12 points in a single quarter, the player with the most points on the field, and on the Bulls side, Derrick Rose, the new MVP, also showed an unstoppable assault ability.

Under the joint defense of Paul and Erniu, he hit the basket again and again and made 6 of 4 shots in a single quarter, including 1 of 1 three-pointers and 3 of 2 free throws. He scored 11 points, 6 assists, and 2 rebounds.

In the second quarter of the game, Erniu and Paul teamed up and quickly pulled the score to double digits, but the Bulls' bench was also hidden.

Ty Gibson, Omer Asik, Kyle Korver and CJ Watson and others caused a lot of trouble for the Clippers during the rotation period, especially Korver and Gibson, the former soared consecutively The three-pointer narrowed the score, and the latter even showed his brutal physical fitness, completing a stunning one-arm dunk on the head of "rebound idiot" Reggie Evans.

The score between the two teams was 54:57, and the Clippers entered the second half with a 3-point lead.

The third quarter was Er Niu's performance time. He once again showed his powerful scoring ability. He made 7 of 7 shots in a single quarter, including 2 of 2 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 20 points in a single quarter. The double-double data of 11 points and 68 rebounds helped the team reach the final quarter with a score of 79:[-].

In the last quarter, the Bulls launched a crazy counterattack under the leadership of Rose. Rose of the Windy City lived up to his MVP of last season. While maintaining his health, he made 3 of 2 shots in a single quarter, including 2 of 2 three-pointers. Among them, he made 6 of 6 free throws and scored 12 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists in a single quarter.

The Bulls once chased the score to within 3 points. At the critical moment, Ruan Erniu stepped forward again.

He succeeded in taking down Boozer in the low post in a row. In the most terrible rounds, he clung to the score and kept the lead until the last second.

110:115，快船在主场5分小胜对手，拿下了11-12赛季的首个主场。

Just after playing the Bulls, the Clippers ushered in back-to-back home games on the second day, this time their opponent was the Portland Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers' starting lineup for the night was:
C Marcus Camby
PF LaMarcus Aldridge

SF Gerald Wallace

SG Wesley Matthews

PG Raymond Felton

Before the trade deadline last season, the Charlotte Bobcats traded with the Portland Trail Blazers. The Bobcats traded Gerald Wallace for the Trail Blazers' center Joel Przybilla, forward Dante Cunningham and two first-round picks.

So the Gaul Batum had to sit on the bench, and at the same time sat on the bench as well as Jamal Crawford, Er Niu's former teammate in the Eagles.

After all, the Hawks did not retain the super sixth man. After Tony Ressler dismissed Billy Knight, he was already starting the rebuilding process.

For the Trail Blazers this season, after losing the Yellow Mamba and Oden, they can only rebuild the team around the locomotive-Aldridge.

However, Ade met his own sufferer in the game that night-Kafu Ruan.

Erniu bullying Adelaide seems to have become a habit. It is obvious that the former entered the NBA a season earlier than Erniu, but in actual confrontation, Erniu always handles Adelaide in various ways.

It should be said that Aldridge, relying on his advantages in height, weight, wingspan, etc., can steadily use the CIC to solve the battle when facing most of the league's insiders, but when he encounters the second bull who obviously has no advantage in height , everything becomes difficult.

Erniu always has a way to withstand Adelaide on the ground in various ways, making him feel uncomfortable when shooting.

At the same time, he is a projection-type insider. In the face of fierce physical confrontation, Adelaide's stability is far weaker than that of Nowitzki. This is also the biggest stumbling block preventing him from becoming a top superstar.

The seemingly unsolvable mid-range shot will be subject to various restrictions when facing top defenders. The gap between superstars and superstars lies in this place.

At 88:103, the Clippers easily and happily reaped the game. Even though Ke 6 was still in the sixth man position and scored a team-high 23 points, the Blazers still had no way to retreat in Los Angeles.

Three days after winning the Trail Blazers, the Clippers ushered in their next opponent at home, the Houston Rockets without Yao.

That's right, after signing a one-year short contract of 800 million yuan, in a team training, his left foot was fractured again, and he had to announce the end of his 11-12 season ahead of schedule.

In the phone call to Erniu, Dayao also directly talked about his intention to retire.

A few years later, a Chinese netizen invented such a joke.

It is said that it was raining heavily in Houston that day, and Dayao got the news from the doctor that he would be reimbursed for the season.

He was frustrated at first, but on the way home, he burst out laughing and ordered a long serving of beer and fried chicken from the takeout shop, and he was finally able to let go of his dietary restrictions and enjoy life because he It is clear that the time for his retirement is not far away.

The writing of the soft article is not satisfactory, but the time of this soft article is not far from the broadcast time of a certain Nanbang idol drama, so things such as rainy days, beer, and fried chicken appear very frequently.

By the way, Er Niu also learned about this idol drama from a friend. He is not very interested in the plot, but he has a great influence on the name of the TV series. After polishing by a forum netizen, Er Niu saw the version for the first time It's like this - "You who came to cure the orangutan".

Well, let’s talk about Yao Ming, the No. [-] draft pick in China who didn’t know if he bought beer and fried chicken on a rainy day.

He returned to Shanghai in the middle of the month, and held a press conference in the Shanghai City Hall on the third floor of Pudong Kerry Hotel to officially announce his retirement.

Yao Ming's parents, Mr. Yao and Ms. Fang, his wife Ye Li and daughter Emma all attended the press conference.

Attendees also included Shu Dewei, CEO of NBA China, Darrell Morey, general manager of the Houston Rockets, Hu Jiaji, deputy director of the basketball management center, and others.

Yao Ming said at the press conference: "As a basketball player, I will end my sports career and officially retire. Today I retire, one door of mine is closed, but another door is slowly opening. I left on the court, but not off the basketball."

Ruan Erniu, currently the most influential NBA superstar in China, also sent a video blessing afterwards, wishing Dayao that he can still become a winner in his future life and successfully run his own business and career.

What Er Niu didn't expect was that Dayao's journey was far more than that.

At the end of the press conference, Yao Ming took a group photo with his parents, wife and daughter. This turned out to be the first time that Yao Ming's family took a group photo in front of the public.

Turn your attention back to the game of the night.

Kyle Lowry, who took the lead alone, began to show his leadership qualities, and Chandler Parsons, as a second-round rookie, also showed good scoring ability.

But in the face of the powerful Los Angeles Clippers, Kevin McHale, who just took office this season, seems to have few options.

Refrigerator does have the ability to train some excellent inside players, but when he has "handsome brother" Jordan Hill in his hands, Dalembert with declining athletic ability, and the top parallel importer Hasim* When Thabeet, he was also powerless.

89:127, after losing to the Spurs, the Clippers ushered in a three-game winning streak, and regarding Maurice Williams, the Clippers finally found a good trading partner.

　Regarding Dayao, his actual retirement time was in the summer of 11. In fact, I revised the outline several times, but in the end I decided to let him retire normally. One more NBA championship may add a little more emotion, but for a player who is willing to serve Chinese basketball, "********" Yao Ming, two champions in the Olympic Games and the World Championships are enough.
