NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The new season is coming.

Chapter 94 12 consecutive wins lead the league!

NBA Western Conference!

Unlike the Eastern Conference, the current Western Conference has little competition pressure.

It’s just that the identity of the Western Conference leader is beyond everyone’s expectations!

It’s not the Lakers who just completed the establishment of the dynasty, or the San Antonio Spurs who just won their first championship this year.

It’s the Minnesota Timberwolves!

With the addition of “alien” Sam Cassell, this season’s Timberwolves, under the guidance of coach Philip Saunders, also played an extremely impressive 9 wins and 1 loss in the opening season.

Although it’s not as good as the Knicks’ 10 consecutive wins, it is enough to reflect their ability in the Western Conference where there are many powerful teams.

The only defeat they suffered this season was at Staples.

So even if the wolf king Garnett and the alien Cassell joined forces, it would be difficult for them to get any advantage from this traditional powerhouse.

After the Lakers established their dynasty, they were defeated by the San Antonio Spurs, but this defeat did not affect their fanatical Los Angeles believers at all.

Fans of this traditional powerhouse are different from fans who saw the revival of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

They have loved this city and this team for many years.

Home fans are always the solid backing of the Los Angeles Lakers, and this also benefits the Clippers who share the stadium with the Lakers.

Although the Clippers’ record last season was still the bottom of the Western Conference, there are fewer games to watch at Staples, and many fans don’t care about the money, they just want to go to Staples to watch the game.

What’s more, in today’s game, the Clippers’ opponent is the hottest team in the league.

The New York Knicks, who are in the limelight!

Last season, the two teams played against each other, and the Clippers had a record of 1 win and 1 loss. Today, the Knicks are playing back-to-back games. Maybe we can witness the birth of a miracle?

There are not many teams in the league that can hold their own against the Clippers. The Knicks last season definitely had a place.

It’s just that in the past month of this season, the earth-shaking changes have made the Clippers players and management feel that the Knicks team that came to Staples this time is a little strange.

The best record in the league!

This is enough for the Knicks to look down on the Clippers.

Of course, in a sense, both teams are “first”!

It’s nothing more than one in the East and one in the West… one is positive and the other is negative.

“New Captain” Elton Brand is the current core of the Clippers’ inside line. Like James, he is also a No. 1 draft pick.

This No. 1 draft pick in 1999 has performed steadily since entering the NBA. In his rookie season, he averaged 20+10 double-doubles per game, worthy of the title of No. 1 draft pick.

To some extent, he is similar to Wang Song.

Both are relatively stable!

But over the years, his mediocre performance in the NBA has always made the post-Jordan Bulls management who selected him dissatisfied, so he was traded to the Clippers.

The most criticized point of Brand is his height. Like James, he is only 203, but he plays as a power forward.

It is very uncomfortable for him to compete with those seven-foot tall people in the penalty area, but fortunately, his strong body is one of his characteristics.

This is his advantage in dominating the college league, and it has also become a pain point after entering the NBA.

Because the height of the inside line in the NBA is much higher than that of the NCAA, Brand’s height has completely become a disadvantage.

So when he defends against tall inside lines, he always has a situation where he is not tall enough to cause interference, which makes him very distressed.

And today’s opponent, the New York Knicks!

It just so happens that their famous super star is also a famous tall center, which makes Brand, who has only heard of Wang Song’s reputation before the game, a little nervous.

Compared to his nervousness, the Knicks players who played back-to-back games were obviously much more relaxed.

There was no time to care about the rumored winning streak terminator. The entire Knicks team was performing the so-called “a lean camel is bigger than a horse” today.

It only took three quarters to defeat the Clippers!

76:56!

The dazzling scoreboard was reflected in the eyes of the Clippers coach, which was particularly painful.

···

There was no suspense in the last quarter. Even if it was a rotation, the rotation depth of both sides was actually not much different.

At the end of the game, the Knicks took the victory with a score of 105:87.

Wang Song played 28 minutes in the whole game and clocked out after three quarters. He still got a double-double of 26 points and 15 rebounds.

For him.

Elton Brand is a short guy, especially with

When they were paired with their rookie Chris Kaman.

The Clippers’ twin towers are simply amazing!

They have full tankiness.

But their agility is not good at all.

This combination is a natural hunting ground for Wang Song.

It’s just like watching a video, the speed of the three people is very different.

If the Clippers’ duo is 1x speed, then Wang Song is at least 2x speed.

The lateral movement speed of the two was so slow that Los Angeles fans sighed.

Whether it’s a counterattack or a display of athletic ability, Wang Song can fully display his talent without any resistance.

The Clippers’ restricted area is like a no-man’s land for him to enter and exit!

And the Knicks teammates who gave the stage to Wang Song in the last game also vented their anger in this game.

Compared with the excitement of bullying, Nash and others have long forgotten the fatigue of back-to-back games.

Nash scored 15 points and 15 assists, and Houston scored 24 points with 8 of 11 shots.

The model of the Knicks’ Big Three was revealed, and the three scored 65 points together!

Los Angeles fans got to know these guys from New York again. The Clippers fans were not surprised by the defeat of the home team, and they all hoped that the home team would become the second Knicks one day.

On the contrary, the Lakers fans who came to watch the show were all impressed by the strength of the Knicks and the dish of the Clippers at the end of the game.

There were even many fans shouting on the sidelines that when the Knicks come here again, the Lakers will find the Staples venue again.

In response, Wang Song just left a sentence to the Lakers fans in a post-match interview:

“When Staples becomes the first arena in the West, we can talk about these nonsense!”

After these remarks were published by the media, the Lakers fans, who are now behind the Spurs and Timberwolves, broke their defense directly, and even aroused the riots of many reactionary elements in Los Angeles.

They all went online to attack the Knicks and Wang Song.

With that little fighting power, how could they compare to the die-hard fans in New York? This international metropolis obviously has more fans with online fighting power.

Just when the online disputes continued.

The Knicks returned to the East and went to Philadelphia.

They took away the third visiting team of their journey with a light touch.

The chemistry between AI and the Big Dog was not shown in this game, and Wang Song cut off the connection between them well.

The game ended with Iverson scoring 30 points in vain, and the Knicks continued to win the game and ushered in 12 consecutive victories.

The three-game away trip ended successfully, and the Knicks boarded the plane back to New York.
