Standing pretty old

Chapter 816 The Clippers have won ten consecutive victories, and there are many stories on and off the field

In 5 minutes of overtime, Ruan Erniu, who scored 8 points and 4 rebounds, attended the post-match press conference.

Before the reporter asked about the season goal, Ruan Erniu took the initiative to declare: "We will attack the championship this season. I know you all want to hear this. In fact, we think so too."

A team reporter from the Miami Herald immediately stood up and questioned: "Why do you think that winning a regular season will qualify you for the championship?"

Ruan Erniu smiled back and said, "Then why do you think we can't do it?"

The Herald reporter still wanted to ask questions, but the Clippers media officer who maintained order at the scene did not give him this opportunity, but handed over the right to ask questions to other reporters on the scene.

Journalists from all walks of life also inadvertently protected their colleagues.

According to past experience, if you continue to fight, the reporter from Miami must suffer. In terms of fighting people, although Er Niu didn't take many shots, it seems that he really didn't lose.

The NBA's super giants have never only existed on the court. When dealing with the media, their quality and level can also be seen.From this point of view alone, those guys who can't even hide their twitter accounts really lack the status of superstars.

Er Niu has set the tone for the new season to compete for the championship, but from the perspective of his career, this is just a small goal, so what to do, let the media ferment it on their own.

CP3 admired the Chinese people more and more. For Sanpao, Ruan Erniu's almost pretentious self-confidence and the unwavering daily training rhythm after that really opened his eyes.

The key issue is that when Man Niu said this, most people thought he was capable of doing it.

The so-called natural leaders, nothing more than the case.

After playing the Heat, the Clippers finally got a 3-day rest after tired back-to-back. They will continue to sit at home and meet their second opponent in three consecutive home games-the Los Angeles Lakers.

After playing the Heat, they immediately played the Lakers. The league's schedule is really strict.

For Los Angeles fans, most of the time, their home team is the Lakers.After all, the past of the Lakers is too glorious, and no one can ignore the greatness of their Zijin dynasty.

Er Niu agreed to come to the Clippers at the beginning, which in itself meant that he chose the most difficult path, because he was going to establish his own dynasty on other people's territory.

The Lakers' lineup this season would have undergone huge changes, but with the suspension of Paul's deal and the spark's deal being put on hold, the Los Angeles Lakers did not make much adjustment to last season's lineup in the end.

The starting lineup for the Zijin Army tonight is:

C Andrew Bynum

PF Pau Gasol

SF Matt Barnes

SG Kobe Bryant
PG Derek Fisher

Best Sixth Man - Lamar Odom has been traded to the Mavericks.

At the beginning of the season, the Los Angeles Lakers sent Odang Dang (the nickname is said to be Odom’s Cantonese literal translation of Odang, and later the fans gradually called it Odang Dang) and a 2012 second-round draft pick. To the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for a trade exception worth $890 million and a protected 2012 first-round pick.

This is completely a luxury tax-saving deal, and it is an indisputable fact that the Lakers are going downhill.

The biggest victim of this deal is Odangdang. He doesn't want to leave Los Angeles at all, but as a non-NBA player, he has no right to resist.

Such things as transaction veto power only exist in top players.

In addition, Ron Artest, who has been renamed Charity World Peace, has been reduced to a substitute. His moving speed has long been a black hole for the Lakers on the defensive end.

Current Lakers coach Mike Brown has no problem putting him on the bench, even though Artest still has three seasons left on his midlevel contract.

Speaking of the head coach of the Lakers, I have to mention, of course, Phil Jackson.

Judging from the official reasons, Jackson voluntarily resigned and left the Lakers because of physical reasons. After all, Zen Master suffered from prostate cancer and must undergo training and treatment, and he will not even appear in the position of head coach in the future.

But it has to be said that the power struggle within the Lakers is also an issue that cannot be ignored.

Jerry Buss' physical condition gradually declined, and he basically handed over control of the Lakers to Jim Buss.

But Phil Jackson has always been on the side of his daughter Janet Buss.You know, when Jackson first came to the Lakers, he got involved with Jenny who had just broken up with Rodman.

Phil Jackson left the Lakers, although there are physical reasons, but with his past achievements and the relationship with Jenny Buss, he can definitely get a management position in the Lakers.

The only reason why she must leave the Lakers can only be that Jenny Buss is at the bottom of the current power struggle.

The internal chaos will be reflected on the playing field. At least Er Niu was surprised to find that both Gasol and Fisher played a little absent-mindedly during the game.

This is unavoidable. In the original trading plan of the Lakers, they have all been swept out. You can't expect a staff member who may be forced to leave at any time to concentrate on the current job. This is not in line with human nature.

Kobe played really hard, he was the best player in the game.

Mamba made 28 of 14 shots, including 5 of 2 three-pointers and 14 of 12 free throws. He scored 42 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.

Obviously it is the home court of the Clippers, but as long as he is in the Staples Center, Kobe Bryant can always get all kinds of free throws easily. Kobe's body is also declining, but his number of free throws is on the rise. .

But there is one thing to say, this is still not comparable to his average of 10+ free throws per game in his peak period.

Bynum completely exploded DeAndre Jordan on the court. He did show his star image, but even if he became an All-Star starter, it was thanks to Er Niu who went to the 4th position.

The Clippers suppressed the former king of Los Angeles throughout the game. Er Niu and Paul each scored 30+ without any effort. Even if Kobe scored the highest score in the game, it was still difficult to prevent the team from losing to the opponent.

In an interview after the game, Kobe once again talked about the performance of his teammates: "We are going through the most difficult season, but we must be united."

It has to be said that Kobe's emotional intelligence has indeed greatly improved. It is rare for him not to criticize his teammates, but some people are not going to let him go, such as Shaquille O'Neal who just joined the TNT commentary team.

"Without me, you will never win the championship!" O'Neal did not speak directly, and uploaded a short video on YOUTUBE to mock the tragedy of Kobe's failure to win the championship again after leaving him.

Sure enough, it's bullshit to laugh away all grievances and enmity, and loving and killing each other is the norm.

Well, however, the source of this tragedy should still be remembered on Er Niu's head.

Two days after playing the Lakers, the Clippers ushered in their last opponent in three consecutive home games-the New Jersey Nets.

As mentioned above, this is also their last season with New Jersey as their home team coordinates. Next season, the Nets will move to Brooklyn and be neighbors with the New York Knicks.

Originally, the point guard matchup between Paul and Deron would be the biggest highlight of the game, but CP3 will miss the game for about 10 days due to a finger injury. During this period, the two bulls can only carry the Clippers alone.

In addition, because the NBA has lost too many games this season, the schedule has also become quite unreasonable.

After the game against the Lakers, the Clippers ushered in a terrifying three days and three games. They will experience a three-day host-host-host horror schedule.

However, Paul is not in the team because of injuries. This is undoubtedly an extremely important test for Er Niu.

In the years of the Hawks, Er Niu and Jiong Jisen were both famous "iron men". Regarding the lack of a second master, Er Niu seemed inexperienced.

In the past few seasons, the Chinese have rarely encountered such a situation. Objectively speaking, this is definitely not a small challenge.

Fortunately, their first opponent, the New Jersey Nets, is definitely not a strong team.

Nets center Mehmet Okur has declined very badly since the injury, Er Niu and Jordan changed positions to defend him without any pressure at all.

Although Deron is strong, he will also be deflated when he meets the powerful Chauncey Billups.

However, the biggest news hotspot in the Nets definitely does not belong to Deron or Okur. Their starting power forward Chris Humphries is the hottest player nowadays.

To some extent, throughout the long summer of 11, various sports media were screened by Humphries.

The reason is very simple. He and the "sister-in-law" Kim Kardashian, who are in charge of various network traffic in the United States and China, experienced a short marriage of 72 days, and finally announced their breakup.

I don't know when it started, Kim Kardashian replaced Paris Hilton's name on the online pages of America and China, and became an absolute screen-spreading figure.

The story of the Kardashian family is very long, so there is no need to go into details, but their second daughter, Kim Kardashian, and third daughter, Kohler Kardashian, are really frequent visitors to the NBA page.

Kohler has only experienced Rashad McCants and Lamar Odom so far. Kim has a richer love history, but in the NBA, he has only been involved with Humphries.

Well, she would like to have a relationship with Kobe, but the Black Mamba is not very interested in Kardashian.

Speaking of Kardashian, it is natural to talk about another protagonist in the story-Chris Humphries.

Few people know that Humphries was a genius swimmer when he was young, and even Phelps was blown away by him when he was 10 years old, including the 50-meter freestyle, 100-meter freestyle, 50-meter butterfly, 50m backstroke, 50m breaststroke and 200m individual medley.

As the old saying goes, choice often outweighs hard work.

Maybe Humphries would get drunk on an unknown late night, and then repeat over and over again: "If I continued to swim, I would not come to play. If I did not play, I would come to the NBA. If I did not play in the NBA, I would not come to play." I don't know Kardashian, and if I didn't know Kardashian, I wouldn't be in such a sad situation..."

Well, at least on the court, Humphries was quite brave.

At 91:119, the Clippers beat their opponents at home and won their first victory without Paul.

Then they came to Utah Heights to challenge the Jazz back to back.

An extremely difficult game, fighting in Salt Lake City has to deal with altitude sickness, not to mention facing a tenacious team like the Jazz.

Sloan is no longer in the dugout, but his legacy still affects this team.

Deron Williams and Devin Harris switched clubs, and Jeff Teague on the bench could only continue to be a cold bench.

Millsap has made rapid progress. He and Al Jefferson have jointly established the Jazz's inside combination. A projective insider.

Fortunately, the ruthless bull has made up his mind to strangle a point from the beginning of the game, leaving Jefferson to Jordan alone.

Even if he is blown away by the former Wolf King, Er Niu will not let Millsap, who has a longer range, have a chance to take a calm shot. 3 points is one point more than 2 points, and the Clippers must make a choice.

There were three waves of the game, and most of the time, the Clippers were the one catching up.

After entering the final quarter, under the leadership of Er Niu, the visiting team once tied the score, but the tenacious Jazz regained the lead by 15 points with Harris' mid-range shot with 2 seconds left in the game.

In the crucial final attack, Ruan Erniu sent the ball to Sean Battier on the outside when he was double-teamed by Jefferson and Millsap in the low post. The latter raised his hand without any hesitation. Record three points, and finally succeeded in killing the Jazz.

全场爆砍55分，16板，15助攻的阮二牛彻底统治了比赛，他55+15+15的三双在历史上也属首次。

Maybe Er Niu's triple-double total is not currently the top existence in the history of the league, after all, he has not been in the league long enough.

But in terms of triple-double quality, he is definitely a well-deserved No.1, because those triple-double data in ancient times are not reliable, and there is no official NBA certification.

Immediately afterwards, the end of the hell schedule returned to Los Angeles. The Clippers' opponent for the third consecutive game day was the previous championship-Dallas Mavericks.

Two fatigued divisions played an ugly game.

Nowitzki's state has declined significantly in the first half of the season. He won the championship and the championship lineup was dismembered. The German driver has indeed become slack. His shooting percentage has dropped from 51.7% last season to 45.7% this season.

For a pitcher, this value is still not low, but for Nowitzki, he is no longer at his peak.

Ruan Erniu, Billups and JJ* Redick dominated the game with three-pointers. They teamed up and scored 15 three-pointers, relying on a more stable peripheral performance.

89:95, the Clippers won this difficult game in a state of extreme fatigue.

Ten consecutive victories, even though they lost Paul in the last three games, the Clippers still won tenaciously. Ruan Erniu also withstood the pressure. Facts have proved that there is no problem with his ability to lead the team alone.
