Chapter 756 [11 Consecutive Wins, After Thanksgiving]

On November 7, the Clippers defeated the Spurs 106-84 at home despite an incomplete lineup.

Yang Rui gave Curry four days off. He will miss this and back-to-back games against the Trail Blazers. Combo guard Barbosa entered the 12-man roster.

The Spurs are missing a shooting guard in Danny Green, and there are problems with the entire offensive and defensive system. Ginobili is still on the bench, and whether he starts at No. 2, veteran Stephen Jackson or rookie Evan Fournier, they all have weaknesses.

Jackson has rich experience, and his shooting accuracy has gotten worse year by year. He can't open up space on the court.

Fournier's playing style is similar to Klay Thompson. He is a technical wing with offensive instincts and average athletic ability. He can handle the ball and shoot three-pointers, rarely shoots mid-range shots, and has the flexibility to defend point guards, but is difficult to fight against strong wings. He is not a qualified starter until his defensive ability improves.

Kawhi Leonard's statistics have improved slightly from last season, but he is still a blue-collar outside player and cannot help the team much on the offensive end.

The Spurs' defense was good in this game, but their offense was poor. Only three people scored in double figures.

Gary Neal, the top scorer, made 4 of 7 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throw, and scored 12 points and 2 assists; Duncan had 10 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists; Ginobili scored 11 points and 2 assists.

Tony Parker was trapped in a zone defense, making 2 of 7 shots, only scoring 4 points, 6 assists, and 4 turnovers.

In the past few seasons, Parker has reached the peak of his career, and his statistics are very good, but his weaknesses have always existed. His performance relies too much on breakthroughs and he is not good at long shots. Once the opponent blocks the penalty area, it will be difficult for Parker to perform.

The Clippers played the Trail Blazers back-to-back for fun, easily winning 113-90.

Without Curry, the Clippers still have many excellent three-point shooters. Marginal guard Barbosa played 18 minutes and scored 13 points and 2 assists, making 3 of 5 three-pointers.

On the 11th, the Clippers faced the Hawks at home, and Curry also returned from his honeymoon.

Without Joe Johnson, the Hawks have become a weak team. The core is power forward Josh Smith, who is strong in defense and weak in offense, and point guard Jeff Teague is on the outside. Korver, who was supposed to become an important three-point shooter with the Hawks, is currently with the Clippers. And Al Horford, who was supposed to be the inside axis, is now with the Bucks.

The game was really brutal. The Hawks traded the Eagle King for several role players and couldn't prevent the Clippers' offense at all. And these players who lack characteristics on this team cannot break the Clippers' defense.

The only Hawks player Yang Rui cares about is center Zaza Pachulia, and he is worried that this guy is up to something dirty. Now Pachulia is still very honest. He didn't make any moves to hurt anyone during the whole game. He would not rush out to step in when defending, even if the Eagles were behind by a big score.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Pachulia became famous because he injured Kawhi Leonard in the 2017 playoffs. After that, the Spurs were swept by the Warriors. Pachulia didn't have a dirty defensive record before joining the Warriors.

119 to 75, the Clippers won by 44 points. In the second half, the Clippers almost always played as substitutes. Otherwise, the Eagles would definitely lose worse than the Lakers and would set a record for the largest point difference in a single game this season.

After that, the Clippers went on a winning streak, reaching 14 wins and 1 loss at the end of November. After clearing up the thick eyebrows, BA players can get good data as long as they have the ball. Leading the team to win is the biggest indicator of a player's strength. Harden, the Western Conference Player of the Month, was elected over Paul and broke out with the Rockets.

On the 14th, the Clippers defeated the Heat 124-83 at home.

The Heat are like the Cavaliers that lost James in Yang Rui's previous life, and Tristan Thompson and Dion Waiters joined forces in the Cavaliers. The team also has Randy Foye, Norris Cole, Landry, Richard Jefferson and other people from all over the outside.

For such a Heat team, no one knows who is the core of the team. They will definitely rush forward to the No. 1 pick this season. The worst thing is that Dion Waiters is a high-ranking rookie who is not worth training. His template is Wade, and his offensive and defensive efficiency is much lower than Wade.

On the 17th, the Clippers' opponent, the Bulls, was also an underdog. Star point guard Derrick Rose tore the cruciate ligament in his left knee and was seriously injured and ended the season.

Luol Deng became the boss of the team as soon as he joined the Bulls, and his average data increased to 16.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

Rose has never won the regular season MVP in this life, and is still seriously injured and reimbursed, which shows that this is really not a question of character. And this is Rose's second serious injury. It was once his right knee and now his left knee.

Rose has been in the league for several years, winning the love of fans with his extremely destructive style of play, and the windy city was once full of roses. But at the same time, fans are always worried about him. How long can Rose's "seven-injury punch" style of play last?

Westbrook is smarter than Rose, and they were similar when he entered the league. He changed his style of play, increasing the number of pull-up jump shots and reducing the number of attacks by driving to the basket. Rose's protective gear on his knees is getting thicker and thicker, and his playing style never changes.

On the 19th, the Clippers defeated the Spurs again in an away game, starting with a 10-game winning streak.

Now, the media and fans are no longer calm. Everyone knew that the Clippers were very strong, but they didn't expect them to be this strong. Whoever they played was almost always the main force who got off work in the third quarter, and they almost never encountered a threat.

Griffin, who played the most time for the Clippers, only played 31.3 minutes per game, scoring 18 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists. His data dropped again from last season, but he was more efficient, shooting 55.6% from the field and 55.6% from the free throw line. Also 71%.

When excellent players come together, the statistics will generally not be too good, but the efficiency will be improved, because the opponent cannot double-team someone all the time, and will get more easy singles opportunities.

The other players all played less than 30 minutes, making it difficult to tell who was the starter and who was the substitute. In these ten games, the bench lineup composed of Curry, Battier, Korver, Tony Allen, Parsons, Faried and others often defeated the opponent's starting lineup.

On the 21st, the day before Thanksgiving, they challenged the Thunder away from home. Paul, Griffin, and Gay finally played in the fourth quarter.

The Thunder's second young master showed off his power together, Kevin Martin completed the task of leading the bench very well, and even Ibaka performed beyond his level, hitting a three-pointer, several mid-range shots, and scored 20 points.

The Thunder took the lead at the beginning and led by 11 points with 5 minutes left. Unfortunately, they could not withstand the game in the end. There were too few rotation players in the team, and the second player was too physically exhausted and could not run anymore. The Thunder didn't score for three minutes and were outscored 13-0 by the Clippers. Although Durant's mid-range shot dragged the game into overtime, the Clippers eventually came back to win 122-117, winning their 11th consecutive victory.

Post-game news stated that the Clippers not only have outstanding stars and tacit cooperation, but also have a strong desire to win and amazing tenacity. They have the ability to hit the regular season record this season.

Online, fans are discussing it very enthusiastically. Yang Rui has previously led the Raptors and Lakers to create records. If he leads the Clippers to break the Lakers record, his achievements will be enough for everyone to look up to.

There are still many Clippers fans who hope that the Clippers will break their regular season winning streak. On the 23rd, the Clippers will challenge the Nets, currently ranked first in the Eastern Conference, in an away game. As long as they defeat the Nets, the Clippers' schedule will be easier, for sure. Can achieve a long winning streak.

The team had a Thanksgiving holiday. In the morning, Yang Rui also discussed tactics with his assistants online and studied the characteristics of the Nets. They all attached great importance to this game.

The Nets had only lost one upset game to the Wizards before, and currently have a 7-game winning streak. They defeated the Cavaliers 105-96 in the last game, and their morale is at its peak.

Many experts believe that the Nets have a better chance of reaching the finals than the Cavaliers this season and have the strength to compete for the championship.
