Chapter 869 [Sunny Day Under the Big Tree]

Yang Rui can't keep a low profile. He can't think of any shortcomings in this Clippers lineup. There are experienced veterans, three-point shooters, superstars, defensive experts, and people who are good at breaking through with the ball. They have everything.

It would be too hypocritical for him to keep a low profile under such conditions.

In the regular season opener, the Clippers VS Pelicans proved their strength.

Curry was cheating. He made 13 of 20 shots, 5 of 11 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 36 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 steals. It only took him 34 minutes to do all this, and he left the game early to rest in the final quarter. .

Gasol only played 19 minutes, making 8 of 10 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and no free throws. He scored 17 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 blocks.

Whiteside, who came off the bench, played 23 minutes, making 6 of 10 shots, 1 of 2 free throws, 13 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Jokic also played 20 minutes in his debut, making 5 of 10 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and scored 12 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists.

Devin Booker played 21 minutes, making 6 of 7 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 14 points and 3 rebounds. Although 8 of his points came in garbage time, he is still worthy of praise, because among the substitute players, he is the most daring to play with the ball.

Five Clippers players scored in double figures, but 12 players got the chance to play and score, ultimately defeating the Pelicans 128-95.

Draymond Green only had 6 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, but in the 26 minutes he played, Pelicans core Anthony Davis, who was defending alone, could hardly score, couldn't enter the penalty area, and couldn't turn around.

Davis made only 4 of 20 shots, 0 of 2 three-pointers, 10 of 15 free throws, 18 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 blocks, and 5 turnovers.

After the game, the media evaluated the game and believed that Draymond is the favorite for the best defensive player this year.

After two days of rest, the Clippers played against the Rockets away from home, a brutal game.

Curry played 27 minutes and got off work early before the end of the third quarter. He easily scored 25 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists. Only he and Gasol scored in double figures in the Clippers' starting lineup. The other three were all 3D, and the defense opened up three-pointers.

The Clippers' substitutes are too strong. Montrezl Harrell, the rookie selected by the Rockets in the second round, was made to cry by Antetokounmpo. He is 203cm tall and can't block shots. His flexibility is not as good as Alphabet. Brother, if you are too close, you will be passed.

As a wild power forward with a wingspan of 224cm, Rockets fans thought they had found a treasure when they fell to the second round. It turned out that he was not good at defense. He still has a long way to go to prove that he is a ruthless character.

Backup center Capela has also been taught how to be a good person. When faced with a screen, he doesn't guard Booker or LaVine when they go out to catch the ball and shoot. Or take off.

Whiteside is at his peak, cutting air faster than Howard. If there is no big man inside blocking the penalty area, he and Antetokounmpo can play no matter what.

Booker came off the bench for 20 minutes, making 5 of 10 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, scoring 14 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

Booker started to make an impact at the beginning of the game, which Yang Ruidu did not expect, and the media also praised it. No one said that he was a brush, because his team won, even if he was just the icing on the cake, he deserves praise.

Booker quickly integrated into the NBA and became an immediate force. He is only 19 years old, but his physique is enough to cope with NBA-level confrontation. He has excellent skills and is now better than LaVine in holding the ball in singles.

LaVine has been practicing for a season and still mainly uses jump shots to end offenses. His breakthrough ability is average, while Booker is very determined and dares to attack anyone he encounters in one-on-one defense during the counterattack.

In the positional battle, Booker got a chance to break out more resolutely, lowered his center of gravity, and dared to rush to the basket with his head down. His style of play is like a dazed young man, but the opponent's big man is afraid of this kind of person. If he changes defense slowly, he will rush over. If the defense under the basket is slower, he will lay up.

Since opponents can't relax their defense on others, Booker has better offensive opportunities than he did in the Suns.

His teammates will open up space and create mismatched offensive opportunities for him; conversely, his breakthroughs also tear apart the defense and help his teammates.

On the 31st, the Clippers played the Pelicans in back-to-back away games, and it was another massacre.

This time, the Clippers players were too lazy to defend, and the whole court fought against the Pelicans. Curry played 36 minutes, making 17 of 27 shots, 8 of 14 three-pointers, 11 of 11 free throws, and scored 53 points, 4 rebounds, and 9 assists.

On the Internet, some netizens commented: "My mother asked me why I knelt down to watch Curry play?"

"The Pelicans figured out it was best to start guarding Curry while he was still on the bench."

When Curry hit a three-pointer from two meters beyond the three-point line, netizens left a message: "Someone is playing hooligan on the court. I have already called the police!"

Curry exploded, leading his teammates to throw three-pointers wildly. Middleton made 4 of 6 three-pointers, Draymond made 4 of 5 shots, and LaVine also made 2 of 5 shots...

In the end, the Clippers defeated the Pelicans 143-120 and won their third consecutive victory.

Six Clippers players scored in double figures. Draymond had a triple-double with 16 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Booker, who came off the bench, played 15 minutes and made 4 of 7 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. Got 11 points.

Curry also benefited from his strong teammates. His opponents could not double-team him all the time. It was a good day under the big tree...

Curry is not suffering from convulsions. His performance has just begun. In November, he led the Clippers to consecutive victories, starting with a 19-game winning streak.

In the first month, Curry averaged 31.6 points per game, ranking first in the league's scoring list. However, he only played 31.5 minutes per game, playing less time than he scored.

Throughout November, Curry hit 89 three-pointers, breaking his own league record for three-pointers in a single month, averaging nearly 5 three-pointers per game.

In December, Curry continued to maintain his magical touch, and he couldn't stop.

Against the Hornets on the 2nd, he played 31 minutes and made 14 of 18 shots, 8 of 11 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 40 points, 3 rebounds, and 5 assists.

The next day, against the Pacers, Curry played 34 minutes, making 14 of 24 shots, 9 of 15 three-pointers, 7 of 9 free throws, and scored 44 points, 2 rebounds, and 7 assists.

In back-to-back games against the Nets, the Clippers won too easily. Curry only played 30 minutes, making 11 of 17 shots, 5 of 9 three-pointers, 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 28 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists.

The Clippers relied on multiple rotations, and the players were relaxed and not injured.

The league arranged a derby game on Christmas Day, and the Clippers defeated the Lakers 138-84.

The Lakers started with 5 wins and 24 losses, and having them face the Clippers in the Christmas Day game was almost like a prank. The Lakers' insiders include Hibbert, one of the slowest centers in the league, and the inexperienced rookie Larry Nance, who is very poor at defending pick-and-rolls. Curry finds a screen and gets an easy shot from the outside.

He played 32 minutes, making 14 of 20 shots, 10 of 13 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 41 points and 5 assists.

After this game, the Clippers started with a 30-game winning streak and had no opponents in the league.

If Curry scores less than 30 points in a single game, everyone will think it is too little. But if he throws in a three-pointer just past midfield, fans will not be surprised, because this guy is already crazy and has scored 4 goals so far. A three-pointer in midfield, people don't know what words to use to describe this kind of thing.

From the beginning of the NBA to now, for the first time, there is a player who can get off work after playing three quarters and become the league's scoring leader. Even those ancient mythical beasts can't do this.

President Adam Silva now feels helpless. If this trend continues, this season's regular season MVP will have to be given to Curry. In that case, he will surpass Larry Bird for four consecutive years and create a historical record.

It wouldn't work if I didn't give it to him. With his record and personal data, others couldn't compete at all.
