Standing pretty old

Chapter 826 Breaking records in a row, dominating the screen

On February 2012, 2, US time, the Los Angeles Clippers welcomed the Denver Nuggets, their last opponent before the All-Star Weekend, at their home stadium, the Staples Center.

Everyone knows what the biggest hot topic is tonight, but whether Kafu Ruan can do it or not still needs to be tested by the game.

The media from all walks of life were dispatched one after another. Before the start of the game, they conducted relevant interviews with people inside and outside the NBA circle.

Among them, the most interesting is the views of those active NBA players.

A group of players including Russell Westbrook and Joe Johnson are naturally absolute supporters of Er Niu.

Westbrook said: "If anyone in the world can challenge Chamberlain's record, it has to be Kraft.

You never know what he's going to do next game, he's a born superstar. "

Er Niu's former opponent Joe Johnson also said: "I always believe that Kraft is the best player on the planet.

You know, as long as you play with him, many seemingly impossible tasks can always be easily completed.

He has a magical power. "

There is support and there are more neutral, or seemingly neutral, but actually tasteful views.

Such as LeBron James, Paul Pierce and others.

James said: "Kraft is a great player, there is no doubt about it, but the Clippers concentrated the ball in Kraft's hands, which is the basis for his high scores.

I don't think this is the most correct approach. Excessive reliance on a player may be detrimental to the team. "

Hehe, what you said is so true that the Cavaliers and Heat never rely on James.

In fact, the subtext of the Chosen One should actually be like this: "If he continues like this, I will be out of this year's MVP again!"

Paul Pierce shrugged and said: "I have passed the age of chasing statistics. For me personally, working hard to win a championship ring is the most important thing."

In fact, Pierce is very clear in his heart that he lost to the Heat last year, and the possibility of regaining it this year is too low, but the championship is always the ultimate goal of truth.

Being defeated by the Eagles in the year when the Big Three of the Green Kais first got together was the biggest pain for the Green Army.

They had a chance to compete for the O'Brien Cup, but it was a pity that they met the Great Demon King of the Celestial Dynasty whose evolution rate exceeded ordinary people's imagination.

There is support and relative neutrality, but opposition is hard to hear.

After all, Kraft Nguyen's performance is above everyone else's, it is really difficult to make criticisms.

If you have to find one, it can only be the leader of the Clippers' city rivals-Kobe Bryant.

When Black Mamba was asked about his opinion on Kraft Ruan, he replied to the reporter and said, "What else do you think I need to make?"

In fact, he said similar words not long ago, and the target was also a man of yellow race.

Back to the game of the day.

The starting lineup for the Nuggets tonight is:
C Timofey Mozgov
PF Kenneth Farid

SF Corey Brewer

SG Aaron Afflalo
PG Andre Miller
Before the Erniu game, he also had a brief exchange with the former captain of UCLA, Afflalo.

Afflalo naturally congratulated Er Niu on his previous achievements. He smiled and said, "I really hope you can score 50 points tonight, and we can take away a victory."

When Ruan Erniu heard this, he immediately knew it!
The Nuggets, with a current record of 18 wins and 15 losses, still want to win. George Karl's team has hopes of hitting the playoffs and will certainly not give up easily.

This is undoubtedly good news for Er Niu, because George Karl wants to win, which means that the Nuggets will never deliberately short others in order to block themselves from breaking the record.

Speaking of George Karl, Er Niu himself admires it.

Think about it, dragging Nene Hilario who is always injured, Gallinari who has been injured this season, and even starting point guard Ty Lawson is out due to injury tonight.

With such a team with constant injuries, Carl still has the opportunity to bring the team into the playoffs. What an ability this is.

The old guy may lack top honors, but he does have two brushes.

The Clippers' starting lineup tonight has not changed in any way, and the starting five remain the same.

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially began.

Jordan lost to Mozgov in the jump ball, and Andre * I am the American Mo Wenwei * Miller had the ball in the half court.

Corey Brewer and Afflalo each counter-run, the latter was in a better position, Miller passed the ball immediately, but JJ* Redick judged the ball on the defense, and Afflalo received The moment the ball was poked with the hand, the ball flew out immediately.

Paul got the basketball in the first place, immediately dribbled the ball across the half court, pulled the ball in front of him with one hand, flew the old Miller, and scored an easy layup.

The Nuggets organized an offense again, and Mozgov singled Jordan under the basket.

At this time, Jordan was no longer the Wuxia Amon at the beginning of the season. He was abused by Erniu in daily training every day. Now Mozgov's offensive steps are already a little rough in the eyes of the emperor.

"Snapped!"

Mozgov tried to lean on Jordan's hook, and what awaited him was Jordan's frontal block.

The basketball was blown away, and Kawhi immediately dribbled the ball across the half court after getting the basketball, and sent the ball to Paul.

It's Ruan Erniu!

Er Niu, who inserted from the back, received the ball in the open space and directly pulled it out.

"brush!"

Chasing three points, beautiful offensive and defensive transition!

Some fans on the scene have already played tape prompt boards that can change numbers-there is still 47 points left!
Those who can become die-hard fans of the Clippers are basically guys with a big heart and strong masochistic ability, otherwise the Clippers' cursed and tragic fate for many years is enough to destroy the healthy mentality of any fan.

But since they have Er Niu and Paul, winning seems to be too simple, and watching super giants break records from time to time has become a daily topic for Clippers fans.

Just like the Hawks fans had the second bull, the happiness came so fast that the Clippers fans felt as if they were in another world, as if they woke up and became the masters of the league.

Erniu's performance is obviously not over yet. The "half-orc" Faried, who is in charge of defending Erniu, is the rookie with the 22nd pick in the first round of this season. He is only 6 feet 8 inches tall, which is still wearing shoes, and Erniu The current actual naked height is 6 feet 9 inches.

Even at the power forward position, Er Niu rarely has the opportunity to bully others with his height.

In the first quarter, the Celestials simply gave up the strong inside line completely, and he set up forts on the top arc and the two flanks.

He made 6 three-pointers in a single quarter, and miraculously made all of them. Counting a Tomahawk dunk in the counterattack, Er Niu scored 20 points in the first quarter. He led the team to lead the Digging 27:40 Jin reached 13 points, quite a momentum to kill the game in the first quarter.

Tom Thibodeau was quite happy at first, but after thinking about it carefully, the situation was wrong, so he immediately replaced the second bull, but it was still too late.

Don't look at Erniu's small goal of only 30 points left, but once the game enters garbage time, according to league practice, Kav Ruan, as the team leader, should not go up to collect points.

Ruan Erniu, who scored 20 points in a single quarter, did not return to the court until halfway through the second quarter.

During the rotation period of the second quarter, the Nuggets played very well. Afflalo, who played staggered playing time, together with Jordan Hamilton and Costa Koufos, helped the team regain the point difference of about 5 points. The reappearance of the originally suspenseful game has become somewhat ups and downs.

But with the return of Er Niu, the game once again leaned overwhelmingly towards the Clippers.

After hitting 6 three-pointers in the first quarter, Erniu broke out on the outside again in this quarter.

"brush!"

"brush!"

"brush!"

……

The unlucky Orc once again became the background board. Kraft Nguyen made 5 of 4 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws in this quarter, scoring another wave of 16 points.

At the end of the halftime game, the Clippers led their opponents with a big score of 54:70, and Er Niu's personal score has reached 36 points, and he is only 14 points away from breaking the record.

With reference to this efficiency calculation, even if the Clippers directly end the game in the third quarter, Er Niu is very likely to complete the task ahead of schedule.

In addition, there is another situation that cannot be ignored, that is, the Chinese have already hit 10 three-pointers in the first half.

That's right, it must have broken the record for the number of three-pointers made in a halftime!

In addition, the current league record for the number of three-pointers in a single game is also 13 held by Er Niu. That is to say, as long as he makes four more three-pointers in the next half of the game, he will break the record set by His own single-game three-pointer record.

The rookie Faried was about to go crazy. He was prepared to be blown up by the Celestials, but he didn't expect to be shot in the middle of the game!
In the Imperial TV studio where the game was broadcast live, Yang Jian and Da Xu, who were in charge of commentary, had already started bragging mode.

Yang Jian said: "Mr. Xu, do you think Er Niu can directly break the record in the third quarter?"

Da Xu smiled and said: "If I say no, you don't believe the audience!
The game has reached this level, unless all five of the Nuggets go to block one of the two bulls, otherwise this record will be broken! "

What about the objective evaluation of the commentator?

Forget it, with a national super giant like Erniu, you need to be objective, just brag to death, anyway, Manniu can really do it.

The third quarter finally started, and Faried, who was almost crushed, was useless in front of Er Niu. Er Niu also showed confidence in his shot, and made a direct shot two steps outside the three-point line!

Return!

The sixth three-pointer!
11 points left from the total goal!
Efflalo responded with a three-pointer in the Nuggets offense.

But turning around, after Paul made a simple pick-and-roll with Erniu in the high position, he sent the ball to the Celestials again.

Another step away from the three-point line!
Dry pull!

Again!

The sixth three-pointer!
There are 8 points left to the total goal.

An angry George Karl called a timeout. He directly pressed Faried on the bench and replaced Al Harrington, who was not feeling well in the game.

That's right, it's definitely not to defend Ruan Erniu. Harrington has always been an ATM machine. It's unrealistic to expect him to defend. It can only be said that George Karl still wants to win.

Al Harrington, who held the ball from the outside, broke through and hit the basket, and Er Niu simply let him pass the ball.

Unexpectedly, Erniu let go of Harrington, but Jordan Jr., who came to assist in the defense, did not let him go. After a powerful block, Ruan Erniu directly took the rebound and rushed to the frontcourt.

No one to watch!

Layup?

No, it's still three points!

Return!

The 13th three-pointer, this goal has tied Erniu's highest single-game three-pointer record.

Only 5 points left!

With about one and a half quarters left in the game, the Nuggets have no hope of organizing the Celestials to break through the 50+ mark. After all, they will become the background board, and it will be difficult to win the game.

In the subsequent attack, Mozgov, who was defending the second bull in a misplaced position, directly knocked the second bull outside the three-point line to the ground.

The Celestials missed a shot after being fouled and got three free throw opportunities.

3 free throws.

Only the last 2 points left!
The next few rounds were dull. After Ruan Erniu missed two consecutive three-pointers, he finally hit a long-awaited three-pointer against Al Harrington.

The fans in the audience were completely excited, even the game was interrupted for a while!
If it weren't for the league's relevant regulations, maybe the Clippers would directly celebrate with the sky.

Tom Thibodeau then replaced Erniu, who broke two consecutive records.

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

……

In the cheers of the fans, Kraft Nguyen, who played less than two and a half quarters, had 51 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 4 blocks, 3 steals, and 14 three-pointers in a single game. Walking off the field slowly, he deserves all the praise.

The game did not have the biggest suspense. In the remaining games, the Clippers led by Paul also did not give the Nuggets any chance to comeback.

Kraft Nguyen clocked in early to watch Paul lead the Clippers to their final game before the All-Star break in the player zone.

At 95:123, the Clippers slaughtered their opponents with a big score at home. Before the start of the All-Star Game, they improved their record to 28 wins and 3 losses. They will continue to lead the league.

After the game, Ruan Erniu was also surrounded by various media. When asked why he shot so many three-pointers tonight, he said: "I just want to get off the court early and rest. Next All-Star Weekend I was more tired, so I chose the fastest way to end the battle."

After this battle, the evaluations given by various media including ESPN and TNT are similar, and they can be summed up in one sentence: "There is no suspense about the MVP of the regular season in the 11-12 season!"

Of course, there is another saying that cannot be ignored, that is, in February 2012, the entire NBA news page was dominated by the Chinese.

That said, it's not entirely true.

Because on the western side, Erniu, the Celestial Dynasty man, ruled everything as in the past, but the yellow man in the ruling alliance in the east was a Chinese-American.

Yes, he is the point guard of the New York Knicks -- Jeremy Lin, Jeremy Lin!
With his astonishing performance, this top student from Harvard University created a whirlwind of "Linsanity" that attracted worldwide attention in the NBA.

When the New York Knicks were full of injuries and head coach Mike D'Antoni's coaching position was in jeopardy, a Chinese boy stepped forward and started the most brilliant journey of his career in February.
