Standing pretty old

Chapter 830 Philosophy of struggle, vision ahead

The back-to-back games with the Kings and Suns in early March were just the beginning of the Clippers' devil schedule this month.

They are facing their second 6 consecutive away games this season, that is to say, after the game with the Suns, the Clippers still have 4 consecutive away games to play.

On March 3, US time, the Clippers arrived in Houston. The current leader of the Rockets should be Kevin Martin, but his leadership has been questioned since the Kings.

Kevin McHale, who just took office this season, is relatively stable. Anyway, the team lineup is weak, and he does not have much coaching pressure.

The Rockets currently have a record of 21 wins and 16 losses, and still retain the possibility of entering the playoffs.

The game was very anxious, but in the end the Clippers still won the opponent by 5 points, avoiding the team's losing streak.

After playing the Rockets, the Clippers flew to Minnesota. They will play against the Timberwolves for the third time this season. Ruan Erniu, who just broke the record of three-pointers and scoring in three quarters at home, was frantically surrounded by the Timberwolves.

Even outside the three-point line, Er Niu found himself double-teamed from time to time.

The meaning is obvious:

I admit that I lose, but I don't even think about scoring!
As a result, Erniu took control of the audience, scored a triple-double in three quarters, and easily helped the team take the game away.

It should be said that Husky was scared to death by himself before the fight started.

But the Clippers, who just won two consecutive victories, also failed to continue the winning streak. After flying across half of the United States, the Clippers were decisively killed by the New Jersey Nets.

Deron didn't beat CP3 in this field, but the tired Clippers really underestimated the home team's determination to win.

The Nets, with a record of 12 wins and 27 losses this season, should have no desire for the game, but the fact is that they just want to have a sense of presence in front of strong teams.

After a fierce confrontation throughout the game, in the last 2 seconds, Jordan Farmar made a three-pointer to kill the Clippers. In fact, Farmar only made this one goal in this game.

100:101, the Clippers could hardly accept this result. After the game, they surrounded the referee on duty and wanted to re-judgment the duel kill.

But the ending was disappointing. After reviewing the video again, the referee upheld the original verdict.

The goal was valid, and the Clippers eventually lost this away game.

Tom Thibodeau also admitted after the game: "We lost, but it was definitely not because of the last goal. It was just a result. What really made me lose this game was the 48-minute process."

With a loss, the Clippers embarked on a long voyage again. The last opponent of their six-game streak was the San Antonio Spurs, and they traveled halfway across the United States.

After the breathless Los Angeles Clippers came to the Holy City, they discovered that the Spurs had directly put Duncan and Parker on the rotation list.

Popovich, who has tested out the opponent's reality, no longer cares about certain regular season competitions. In his opinion, winning or losing one or two regular season games is not important at all.

If there is a chance to win the top spot in the Western Conference, maybe the Spurs will still struggle, but the Clippers currently have a clear advantage, and Popovich will not put the old bones of the Spurs on the court to desperately.

Facing George Hill, Paul played the best single-game performance of the season. He made 20 of 12 shots, including 6 of 3 three-pointers and 9 of 9 free throws. He scored 36 points and 16 assists. 4 rebounds, leading the team to win the game smoothly.

With 33 wins and 5 losses, the Clippers still lead the league in record. After ending their second terrifying six-game streak, they finally returned to their home court. Next, they will welcome the sweetest schedule of the season-six consecutive home games .

The Clippers, who got a short break, can finally go home to catch up on a good night's sleep. They returned to Los Angeles that morning and will welcome their first home opponent in the evening of the next day.

Ruan Erniu, who had rested for half a day, rushed to the Clippers training hall in the afternoon, and Paul also arrived later. They will discuss with general manager Nell O'Hill about the transaction before the trade deadline. .

"Brian (Cook)'s stats are really unremarkable. Pao and I are deliberately passing him the ball, but he just can't make it!" Er Niu said regretfully.

As the only bargaining chip, it is really frustrating that the data can't be swiped all the time.

Osher nodded and said, "Anyway, they don't care who we come from. After all, we are just taking advantage of the fire."

Paul pointed to a piece of information on the table in disbelief and said, "Can it really be done? The Wizards are giving us assists to win the championship."

Erniu on the side smiled and said: "You want to study the psychology of the Wizards management, anyway, it's all bad. Of course, you have to give John Wall room to grow. Do you want him to be the boss of the Wizards?"

Having said that, Er Niu also pointed to the document.

"We have never been the main body of the transaction. We are just a third party involved. The key is the attitude between the Nuggets and the Wizards." The pick in the second round, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve..."

"But we have also paid for next year's first round + second round. Does changing a second round pick have any major impact on the Wizards? Or is it that they already have a second-round pick, so they must be ranked high. A second-round pick?"

Er Niu's words were full of sarcasm. He didn't like the vision and methods of the Wizards management at all.

It can be said that the Wizards' current state of being robbed is entirely caused by their own hesitation.As long as it can enter the reconstruction rhythm in advance after the lockout is over, it will not become so passive.

Wanting to tap the potential of Jiongqiang, but not giving him the full right to shoot, is really meaningless except to waste time.

Paul rubbed his chin and said to Ruan Erniu, "Why do you care so much about the Wizards' second-round pick?"

Ruan Erniu said: "Actually, I don't care too much about the draft itself. I just want to disgust Jerry West."

"Uh-huh?"

Both Paul and O'Sir were surprised. In their eyes, Kafu Ruan, a man from the Celestial Dynasty, was always known for his reason, but now this sentence is somewhat illogical.

However, Osher was also in his place, seeking his own government. He quickly reacted and said quickly, "You mean, the Warriors just traded cash for a second-round pick from the Atlanta Hawks?"

Er Niu nodded and said: "Do you know how the Eagles got Dragic in the first place? Actually, I didn't know that Dragon Ball could be played at that time, but I just thought that the Suns had a good vision for picking point guards, so I asked Billy* Knight went and robbed him."

Paul said: "Then you already know who the Warriors want to pick in the second round next year? Do you have an undercover agent?"

Ruan Erniu shrugged and said, "This is a test of intelligence and vision! If you really make up your mind to value a certain rookie, you will definitely let your feet slip."

O'Sher smiled and asked, "Why do you have to intercept someone the Warriors value, just because West rejected your invitation?"

Ruan Erniu suddenly became serious, and he said frankly: "No, I'm more worried about West's eyes. I can even make a bet with you, West will definitely trade Monta * before the trade deadline. Trade out one of Les and Stephen Curry. Then give Klay Thompson plenty of room to grow. Once you can get an excellent center, watch, the Warriors will rise to become a big player in two or three seasons A new force in the West."

In fact, several agents in the league guessed that the Warriors would trade one of their backcourt guns, but at this time, they guessed that the elementary school students would be traded. After all, from the perspective of superstar temperament, Ellis Still more of a leader than Curry.

Paul said with a smile: "We don't even know if we can win the championship this season, but you directly focus on a few seasons later. Isn't that too advanced?"

Ruan Erniu said, "That's because you short-sighted guys only saw one or two championships, but I want to build a dynasty!"

Sanpao and O'Hilton were left speechless. Facing Kraft Nguyen, who single-handedly established the Eagles Dynasty, they really didn't have the slightest right to speak in the championship.

After a while, Paul still tried to fight back: "Even if you really succeed, can robbing a second-round pick of the Warriors be able to curb their rise?"

Ruan Erniu shook his head and said, "It's not possible! But it's not important. The key is that I disgusted the warrior with a move of idle chess. As for whether it will be effective, only God knows."

Er Niu didn't even guess that this trick not only had an effect, but also had a miraculous effect.

We must oppose whatever the enemy supports.

If you just explain it literally, you will often fall into a misunderstanding. For example, if the enemy supports not eating shit...

But if you want to understand this sentence in depth, you should understand it like this:
When you don't have a clear goal, preventing the enemy from achieving the goal may be the most effective means of defeating the enemy.

For Er Niu, since he can't get Jerry West, of course he must try his best to create trouble for the LOGO man.

The philosophy of struggle has always been to use it wisely and concentrate on it, and Kafu Ruan is undoubtedly one of the best.

The trading deadline will officially arrive in about 6 days. After the shutdown, the trading market, which was supposed to be closed in mid-to-late February, lasted until mid-March.

The managers of each team are trying their best to fight for the final battle, and countless fans are also looking forward to the so-called big deal that shocked the league. This is the charm of the NBA. Until the last moment, you never know what will happen in the next second. what happened.

After concluding this meeting, O'Hirr will continue to work hard in the transfer market, while the pick-up combination will continue to lead the Clippers forward.

What's interesting is that in the upcoming six-game home game, the Clippers' first opponent is the Golden State Warriors, who are determined to be on guard.

Only 9 minutes into the first quarter, Curry injured his ankle again. This is not the first time Curry has left the game due to an ankle injury this season.

Curry's exit aroused the fighting spirit of the Warriors in the away game. The Golden State Warriors, who played offense and defense to the extreme, maintained a strong combat effectiveness throughout the game.

The game was stalemate again to the last moment, but this time, it was the Clippers who stood up to end the game.

97:97, 5 seconds before the end of the game, Erniu held the ball in a low position and played back singles against David Lee. Under the double-team of Darrell Wright, Erniu turned around along the baseline position, a difficult backward angle shoot.

The basketball arced across the backboard.

"brush!"

At 97:99, the Celestials ended the game at the last moment, and thus won the sixth consecutive home game. Ruan Erniu, who scored 37 points and 30 rebounds, deservedly became the best player in the game.

After the end of the game against the Warriors, the Clippers ushered in back-to-back at home against their old rivals, the Boston Celtics.

Garnett is old, but Ruan Erniu, who scored 48 points and 21 rebounds, failed to help the team win this home game.

Paul, who made 12 of 3 shots and 5 of 1 three-pointers in the game, should bear the main responsibility. CP12, who scored 5 points, 4 assists, and 3 rebounds inefficiently, was actually 8 of 4 shots and 4 of 4 free throws. , scored 12 points, 10 assists and Rajon Rondo got it done.

Objectively speaking, in the system, Rondo is definitely the kind of player who can play a giant performance.

Kawhi was taught by Pierce to be a man as everyone expected. On the contrary, Jordan was handled by the 6-foot-8 Brandon Bass, which completely extinguished Er Niu's idea of ​​tapping the potential of the emperor on the offensive end.

The reality is cruel. Some people have the physical talent of a superstar, but they can't realize it into combat power in the end.

Losing to the Celtics was the Clippers' sixth loss this season. Of course, back-to-back consumption cannot be ignored, but the team's focus on the game is also worthy of vigilance.

In the team meeting, Er Niu once again emphasized the importance of defense. If the Clippers cannot improve their offensive talent in a short period of time, then defense is the bottom line that the Clippers must stick to.

Two days later, the Los Angeles Clippers ushered in their third home opponent in six consecutive games at the Staples Center.

This is destined to be another full-meter live broadcast, because Kraft Nguyen finally encountered his old club in the game-the Atlanta Hawks.

Before the start of the game, various media began to stir up the grievances and grievances between Erniu and the Eagles.

With Ruan Erniu's strong comeback this season, the Celestials not only led the Clippers to lead the league, but also reached the peak of their careers in terms of personal statistics. Hawks owner Tony Ressler naturally became the target of public criticism.

Blake Griffin is indeed an All-Star player who can stably output 18+10, and his dunk ability is also not lost to Kraft Nguyen, but this does not mean that he can replace the Chinese in the position of Eagles fans.

Especially after the Hawks were finally eliminated by the Heat last season, Atlanta fans infinitely missed the days of owning Kraft Nguyen.

The soul is light, Erniu is still alive!

Well, the scapegoat shouldn't be Griffin who worked hard for the game, so Tony Ressler became the most hated guy for Hawks fans.

Ruan Erniu said in an interview before the game: "Let the past go. People always have to look forward. This is an ordinary regular season. We fight each other, it's that simple!"
