Chapter 818 [Injury, Slaughter]
In January, the Clippers were hit by injuries. It wasn't that they rotated a lot of players, but having enough physical strength would definitely prevent injuries.
Against the Nuggets, Chandler Parsons sprained his ankle on defense, which was quite embarrassing because he was knocked to the ground by Ty Lawson while guarding the pick-and-roll.
Ty Lawson has reached the peak of his career this season, averaging 17.6 points, 3.5 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game. He is a famous ankle terminator in the league.
He is 18cm tall, with a wingspan of 185cm, and his appearance is too slow, but his speed is very fast and he is one of the sharpest breakthrough players in the league. Last season, he sent Ryan Anderson to the hospital.
Parsons is too tall and has average lateral movement. He can only defend against ordinary defenders, but he will be unlucky when he forces a change of direction and will be absent for two to four weeks.
Three days later, Tyson Chandler suffered a fibula fracture in his right calf and would be out for four to six weeks. As expected, there are risks with such a thin leg. The movement is fast, but he is afraid of collision.
After the two Chandlers were injured, the Clippers only had one big man left inside, Robert Thackeray. Compared to dancing on the sidelines, no one in the NBA is a match for Sacre. When playing on the court, Sacre is no longer so dominant.
Because of the lack of range on the offensive end and lack of movement speed, Sacre is only useful against players like Gasol. At other times, Yang Rui plays small ball tactics.
Faried and Draymond Green benefited from their tactics and their playing time increased significantly. The two of them performed well together. Although they are not tall, they have strength and speed, and their ability to control rebounds is excellent.
Draymond is good at grabbing backcourt rebounds and passing the ball to counterattack, while Faried rushes in front like a defender and participates in fast breaks. His teammates can make bold shots. If the shot fails, he may also grab offensive rebounds.
The Clippers, who are missing two generals, only lost to the Mavericks and Warriors in January, continuing to lead the league with 39 wins and 6 losses.
Both the Mavericks and the Warriors have heavy inside players who can play in isolation and have range. Draymond, Thackeray, and veteran Brand just can't stand it. Facing other teams, the Clippers can rely on offense and the personal abilities of their stars to make up for their weaknesses.
The Clippers' tenacity has also been unanimously recognized. On the 8th, against the Heat, the two sides played two overtimes. The Heat took the lead both times and were hit by the Clippers. In the second overtime, the Heat's young players' mentality Something went wrong, I was too impatient, and I was beaten 13-4 by the Clippers.
In the past, many people always said that the Clippers had a good lineup and therefore had an excellent record. They said that the Clippers could not do without Paul. Chandler's role cannot be reflected in statistics. As long as they are missing both inside and outside, the Clippers will definitely not be able to do it. As a result, without these two people, the Clippers can still win, and they can attack even if they can't guard.
February is show time for the Clippers.
Their running and gunning offense became smoother and smoother. They slaughtered the Celtics 146-92 at home, creating the second tragedy in the league this season where the score difference was more than 50 points.
Only four days later, the Clippers defeated the 76ers 133-78, completely overwhelming their opponent's defense with three-pointers and breakthroughs, and slaughtering more than 50 points for the third time.
The 76ers have been reduced to an underdog this season. Point guard Jrue Holliday was sent to the Pelicans. The back of the inside line Noel is out for the season. The inside line led by Love is poor in pick-and-roll defense and lacks offensive power on the outside.
However, the Pelicans didn't make much money. The 76ers concealed Holliday's injury. He is also a glass man. The two teams are fighting over this matter.
It's rare to encounter a team that can run and attack, and the Clippers can win with Yang Rui's unscrupulous tactics. For example, Yang Rui used the "shark-killing tactic" against the Pistons, which cost the tough guy Andre Drummond 28 free throws in one game. The Pistons simply couldn't organize an effective offensive.
Jennings, DeRozan, and Josh Smith are all very athletic, but halfway through the fast break, they heard a whistle, and "Dragon" without the ball in the backcourt was hugged. Without fast breaks, the Pistons can't break the zone defense and lack three-point shooters.
Drummond is the worst free throw shooter in NBA history, shooting less than 40% for two consecutive seasons. This time he only made 9 of 28 free throws, missed three free throws three times, and missed two free throws in a row. ,
Become one of the top five embarrassing mVp of the day.
Pistons manager Joe Dumars' contract expires this year. He is about to leave but he still wants to harm the Pistons. The players he is looking for are well-known and all of them are not good at shooting. Josh Smith's 4-year, 56oo contract will not expire until 2017. , enough for the piston.
The Clippers did not encounter a top team before the Star Weekend, and had a 12-game winning streak, entering the holiday season with 49 wins and 6 losses.
Although the Clippers have no chance to break the record for the best record in regular season history, it is entirely possible to win 70 games in the regular season, and other teams do not have this opportunity.
Curry won the All-Star vote again with more than 1.4 million votes, followed by Thunder star Kevin Durant with 1.39 million votes.
The other three fans in the West chose Kobe, Griffin and Dwight Howard.
Kobe Bryant missed the game due to injury, and Rockets' James Harden was selected as a substitute.
Seven substitutes in the Western Conference: Anthony Davis (Pelicans), Dirk Nowitzki (Mavericks), Damian Lillard (Grizzlies), LaMarcus Aldridge (Trail Blazers) ), Irving (Kings), Duncan (Spurs), Rudy Gay (Clippers).
Gay was selected to the All-Star Game for the first time in his career. He is also expected to be elected as the Sixth Man of the Year this year. He averaged 17.3 points, 5 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, shooting 47.2% from the field and 35.6% from the three-point range.
Gay's statistics are not very good, but the Clippers have the best record, so it would not look good if only two of them were selected.
Paul and Westbrook missed the All-Star Game due to injuries, otherwise it wouldn't be Gay's turn. The Suns' Dragic and Bledsoe unfortunately lost the draft. Their statistics were good, but the team was completely unpopular in the playoffs.
Yang Rui became the head coach of the Western Team.
East: Wall (Wizards), Wade, James (Cavaliers), Paul George (Pacers), Yao Ming (Nets).
Seven substitutes: Anthony (Knicks), Deron Williams, Joe Johnson (Nets), Love (76ers), DeRozan (Pistons), Hibbert (Pacers), Pierce (Kyle) special person).
The Eastern Conference can hardly afford a star lineup this year. Hibbert was selected as an All-Star with 10.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 2.2 blocks. As a 218cm tall center, his shooting percentage is currently only 44.2%.
Bosh's data is slightly better, and he is absent due to injury.
There are fewer and fewer inside players selected for the All-Stars, and the selection of Duncan and Nowitzki is just soy sauce.
The entertainment nature of the All-Star Game means that playing well is the key. In order to enhance the excitement of the game, the league has eliminated the position of center. Centers and forwards have been merged during voting, and it all depends on popularity.
Of course, the best team also retains the center position, and that award is serious.
The head coach of the Eastern Conference is Frank Vogel of the Pacers. The star coach cannot be re-elected, and Nets coach Stevens is on vacation.
The Clippers' Draymond Green and Middleton will participate in the rookie game. Middleton also participated in the three-point contest. This time Curry thought of it and did not participate. The Clippers pitcher was represented by Middleton. There are many good players competing this time, including Belinelli, Irving, Love, etc.
Star Weekend was held in New Orleans. This was their second All-Star Game in seven years. The reason why we visit so frequently is not because New Orleans grilled wings are delicious, but because the city has a pleasant climate and convenient transportation.
In fact, it was only after Yang Rui was reborn that he learned that there were no grilled wings in New Orleans, and the famous food was grilled oysters.
This is not an attractive big city, but if you are selected, you must show up, and Yang Rui can only go once.
