Chapter 821 [No. 1 in the League, Strong Opponent in the First Round]

Yang Rui's explanation made Griffin lose his temper. The reason is too simple. He doesn't care about the reputation of the players. Whoever is more efficient should shoot more. People who are accurate in three-pointers are certainly more efficient than those who shoot two-pointers.

The Clippers have three outside players with a three-point shooting rate of over 40%, and the other two mainly play without the ball. Griffin only overlaps with Curry. As long as Curry feels normal in the game, Griffin will take more shots. I am happy. There will only be opponents.

The Clippers' strength relies on their overall high efficiency, not the luxurious statistics of a certain player. A team that has players with an efficiency value of more than 30 as the core has special privileges and can shoot endlessly. No matter how beautiful the star data is, the record will definitely be at the bottom.

After talking with Yang Rui, Griffin began to think about a question: Should he stay with the Clippers and be the second team leader and win more championships, or should he go to other teams to be the boss and prove that he can become the strongest player?

If Griffin expressed his doubts, Yang Rui would clearly tell him that he was thinking too much. James is said to be the best in the league in personal ability, and he has to form a team to compete for the championship. Griffin is not as strong as James. Can he win the championship without the cooperation of the two giants around him?

In March, the Clippers continued to advance and led the record list, slaughtering the Pelicans 123-78, the Lakers 145-94, and the Bucks 136-91.

How unlucky are the Lakers to be the Clippers' rival in the same district? There are four games in a season, and their defense is terrible. They concede 132 points against the Pelicans, averaging 111.7 points per game.

The Clippers only lost one game this month, losing to the Kings in an away game. They suffered their ninth loss of the season. The Kings have become the only team in the league to have defeated the Clippers twice.

Many people have discovered that the Kings lineup can restrain the Clippers, Cousins ​​can single out Chandler, and Irving and Isiah Thomas have great breakthrough abilities. They do not need a cover and are difficult to defend if they directly break through.

The Clippers' weakness this year is the lack of speedy guards. When encountering guards like Thomas, Barea, and Ty Lawson, it is difficult to defend alone; Curry and Livingston have a height advantage when playing small men. It depends on who they face. Play better.

In early April, the Clippers lost again, losing to the Rockets away from home.

Harden finally had a majestic performance against the Clippers. Not only did he turn off his Sharingan, he also had trouble on the offensive end. He made 14 of 29 shots, 7 of 13 three-pointers, and 11 of 12 free throws. He scored 46 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists. .

Jeremy Lin of the Rockets also performed well in this game, scoring 17 points and 5 assists. However, he has been completely reduced to a substitute in the Rockets and cannot compete with the defensive "Mad Dog" Beverley.

The Clippers' perimeter players were unable to guard against Harden's changes and retreats in a one-on-one battle, and Griffin and Chandler were passed over many times when changing defenses.

At the end of the quarter, Harden forced a break through Draymond Green, who was being replaced, and accidentally hit a key part. The nightclub owners felt nervous when they saw it. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured.

Yang Rui hurriedly replaced Draymond for ideological education. He asked Draymond to play to strengthen defense, especially on the pick-and-roll. He was not asked to "chasing eggs". Yang Rui did not want his players to go up. An evil path.

After Draymond left the game, Harden continued his wonderful performance, eventually leading the team to a 118-112 win.

The Clippers had a chance to go into overtime or take the lead. At 15.2 seconds, Curry made a key attack to attract a double team and then passed a behind-the-back pass to Danny Green in the corner. It was too casual and did not play well, and passed directly to the sideline...

On April 16, the Clippers lost to the Trail Blazers 108-114 in the final game.

The Clippers were let down in this game, and the rankings have been determined. Yang Rui let the core team rest and gave the substitutes a lot of playing time. The absolute marginal player Allen Crabbe played 15 minutes and scored 7 points and 2 rebounds.

The inside combination of Faried, Draymond Green, and Sacre did not suffer against the Trail Blazers' starting lineup. Draymond played to his strengths and kept Aldridge out of the penalty area, making it difficult for him to turn around and his shooting percentage dropped.

The Clippers lost the swingman position. Batum and Matthews both performed well, while Gay and Danny Green were absent from the game.

In the end, the Clippers ranked first in the league with 71 wins and 11 losses.

Once again achieved 70+ wins. Yang Rui continues to expand his single-season record of 70+ wins.

The Spurs' 62 wins rank second in the Western Conference and second in the league.

3-8 in the West are the Mavericks, Thunder, Warriors, Rockets, Suns, and Kings.

The Trail Blazers won in the last round and still failed to make the playoffs, only one game behind the 44-win Kings, ranking ninth.

10-15 are the Grizzlies, Nuggets, Timberwolves, Pelicans, Lakers, and Jazz.

The Nets in the Eastern Conference are first with 61 wins, the Pacers are second with 54 wins, the Cavaliers are third with only 50 wins, and the Wizards are fourth with 48 wins, giving them the home court advantage in the first round.

5-8 are the Pistons, Hornets, Magic, and Heat.

Unlike Yang Rui's previous life, the Magic quickly emerged after trading away Howard. The partnership between Noah and Vucevic worked well, complementing each other on offense and defense. The team also has players with balanced offense and defense such as Oladipo, Afflalo, and Tobias Harris, but Nelson at position 1 has a weakness.

The Magic's ability to enter the playoffs is also related to the poor strength of other teams. The Magic and Heat have only achieved less than half the winning rate. Except for the top four in the Eastern Conference, they are all underdogs. They have not been able to overwhelm teams other than the playoffs. sexual advantage.

Expert analysis believes that there is no suspense in the Eastern Conference playoffs, and 80% of the time the Nets will advance to the finals. The Pacers had a chance to compete with the Nets, but their record dropped a lot in the second half due to internal strife within the team.

According to sources, the reason for the internal strife in the Pacers was that Paul George and Hibbert had a three-person bed war with a woman, had a conflict, and eventually fell out.

Starting in March, the Pacers suddenly fell into a downturn and the conflicts became public. Hibbert blasted his teammates in the media for being selfish, pointing the finger at the team's top star George. It is said that they are too lazy to look at each other, let alone pass the ball to each other on the court. If the conflict between the two continues, it will be quite detrimental to the Pacers.

You know, George is the Pacers' top attacker, and Hibbert is the Pacers' "Gao Yuanyuan"... Well, even if they are brothers and work together in person, it will be difficult to defeat the Nets.

Ranked 9-15 in the Eastern Conference are the Raptors, Bucks, 76ers, Celtics, Knicks, Hawks, and Bulls.

The Bulls' current lineup is completely different from Yang Rui's previous life, and the coach is no longer Tom Thibodeau. The only thing that has not changed is the glass man Derrick Rose who is still performing the good show of being reimbursed.

The regular season data king was revealed, and Durant averaged 32 points per game and won the scoring title.

Grizzlies center DeAndre Jordan leads the team in rebounds, averaging 13.6 per game.

Wizards point guard John Wall leads the league in assists, averaging 9.3 per game.

Paul ranked second. After joining the Mavericks, his data dropped, averaging 18.3 points and 9 assists per game. This was related to the team's overall slow pace.

The leader in blocks is Anthony Davis of the Pelicans, averaging 2.8 per game.

The steal leader is Paul of the Mavericks, averaging 2.4 per game.

No one on the Clippers has won a single data title. Yang Rui hopes that Curry can win a scoring title. However, Curry has not yet reached his peak this season. He often feels cold and cannot score 20 points. In 33.6 minutes of playing time, he can Scoring 24.4 points is not bad.

The playoffs are about to begin. Experts predict the first round. They are not sure whether Yang Rui can lead the team to continue the habit of sweeping the first round. The Clippers lost to the Kings twice in the regular season.

The Kings have poor defense and have lost to weak teams many times, but no one can stop them offensively, so they have also defeated the Clippers, Spurs, and Nets in the regular season.

Of course, no one is optimistic about the Kings advancing. The suspense is how much trouble they can cause to the Clippers.
