Chapter 596: Second Goal

On Jan. 17, the Clippers faced the league's third-place Cavaliers back-to-back at home, only to lose to the menacing Little Emperor, and back-to-back physical problems caused them to be carried away by a wave in the fourth quarter after a stalemate of three quarters.

Ji Guoqiu contributed 24 points, 16 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks, and Ji Guoqiu had 33 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.

The Clippers' two interior cores were excellent in this game, but the benches collectively entered the theater mode, and the Clippers had to accept the tragedy of their three consecutive defeats.

Not long ago, during the 34-game winning streak, everyone sang praises to the Clippers, and the media fans beat gongs and drums together, which has the flavor of universal celebration. Needless to say, after three consecutive losses, the media and fans of other teams naturally fell into the trap, and even the Los Angeles Times criticized the Clippers twice, with the main target being Dunleavy Sr.

It's no secret that the Clippers want to break the Bulls' 1995-96 record of 72 wins this season, and they've never shied away from their goals and aren't afraid to shout them out in the open. On a winning streak, this is no problem. But now, many media have begun to question whether the Clippers have the ability to complete the task, and they are sarcastic about the Clippers.

These guys naturally know that the Clippers still have a good chance to break this record, but the media doesn't care if the Clippers can achieve their goals, all the media needs is the attention of fans and their newspaper sales, so naturally how to write how to attract attention.

If the media doesn't write the report about the blood, how can it attract attention?

The Clippers still have a 34-3 record even after three straight losses, and they have only lost those three games so far. It's not yet time for the wall to fall and everyone to push it. Rational fans also said. Back-to-back matches against the league's second- and third-place teams. The Clippers loss really can't be nothing.

On January 19, the Clippers played at home against the New Jersey Nets, and it is no secret that the two brothers bought the Nets behind their backs. The owners of the other 29 teams in the league, with the exception of Raheem Sterling, did not react too violently to this, which shows that the matter has been cooked into cooked rice and cannot be changed.

Ji Guoqiu used eight words to form an easy alliance before the game: there is more than enough offense. Insufficient defense. This kind of evaluation is actually a kind of optimism about Yi Jianlian, Ji Guoqiu believes that Yi Jianlian has offensive talent and is trying to adapt to the NBA game.

"I think he has the quality to play in the NBA, and now he's starting to focus on the combination of inside and outside. In the game, we can see that he is trying to hit the basket, instead of hanging from the outside and flying a kite like last season. Of course, given the tonnage constraints these days, his offense is still mainly concentrated in the middle and long distances, but at least he has the awareness of "rushing inside", which is commendable. ”

The current head coach of the Nets, Kiki. Vanderwig is not a fool, in fact he knows it too. Next season, his boss will be one of the animal brothers. This kind of thing does make him a pain in the face as a coach, but if he wants to keep his job. Now it's time to start preparing.

Ji Guoqiu called Vanderwich once some time ago, and he didn't say anything on the phone, just chatted a few words. This also let the former know that his future boss Bacheng is Brother Panda.

Vanderwig is actually looking forward to the team's next season, and who in the league doesn't want a player like Brother Panda?

The Nets already have Brooke on the inside. López and Devin on the outside. Harris, these two are fully capable of assisting Brother Panda, and they don't even need to bring in reinforcements.

Vanderwig now dares to pack a ticket, even if the lineup remains the same next season, as long as Ji Guoqiu comes, the Nets will immediately be the best in the East.

Of course, none of that had anything to do with today's game, as the Clippers snapped their losing streak with a light win over the New Jersey Nets at Staples.

Yi Jianlian is the only person who has benefited from the Nets, and he is no longer on the team's roster for next season, and may be traded before the All-Star break. But now everything is different, and Ji Guoqiu has already spoken, saying that he is very optimistic about his compatriots.

So now the head coach of the Nets has begun to consider that if the Nets' interior line next season is partnered by Ji Guoqiu and Lopez, then Yi Jianlian will be more than enough to be a substitute.

On January 21, the Clippers beat the Chicago Bulls at home, Ji Guoqiu contributed 28 points, 18 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 blocks, and Ji Guoqiu 32 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks.

The defending champion had taken a nap before, but after adjusting to his form, he was once again pushing for his second goal.

On January 22, the Clippers defeated the Denver Nuggets away, Ji Guoqiu contributed 15 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 blocks, and Ji Guoqiu 41 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

On January 25, the Clippers defeated the Washington Wizards away, Ji Guoqiu contributed 20 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and 6 blocks, and Ji Guoqi 38 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

On January 26, the Clippers lost back-to-back games to the Boston Celtics for their fourth loss of the season. Ji Guoqiu contributed 18 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 blocks, and Ji Guoqiu had 30 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block.

On January 28, the Clippers defeated the New Jersey Nets away, Ji Guoqiu contributed 24 points, 20 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 blocks, and Ji Guoqiu 33 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks.

On January 30, the Clippers beat the Minnesota Timberwolves on the road, and the whole January game was over, and the Clippers finished 11-4 and had an overall record of 39-4.

The Clippers' record slipped in January, and it was no surprise that the Los Angeles media and fans saw it as a painful period after a winning streak, as has been the case with all teams on a 20+ winning streak in history. With 12 games coming into February, the defending champions will be sure to adjust themselves.

The final All-Star vote was announced on the last day of the end of January, and the Los Angeles Clippers' Ji Guoyi was elected All-Star vote leader with 3,194,233 votes; Ji Guoqiu came in second with 2,941,250 votes. It is worth mentioning that Ji Guoyi's votes set a new all-star voting record, setting a record in history, which is the first time in the history of all-star voting that someone has broken the 3 million mark.

According to the team's record, the head coach of the Western All-Star is still Dunleavy Sr., and the West is still Mike. Brown.

The NBA also announced the East and West bench lineup for the 2010 Dallas All-Star Game today. and the alternate line-up in the East and West. The so-called bench lineup. Refers to an All-Star player who is once on the roster is injured in the first half of February. Then it's up to the players in these substitutes to fill in.

Durant was selected for the bench last season, but unfortunately the little schoolbag cursed the two brothers for half a month, and no one was injured in the two animals.

The Mavericks serve as hosts, and Nowitzki is the representative of the Dallasians.

"It's an honor to play for the Mavericks in my new hometown of Dallas, and I've always been grateful for the opportunity to play in the All-Star Game," Nowitzki said in an interview. We want to put on a great show for our fans. ”

There's also a Texan-born player in the West, and that's Deron the Fat Man. Williams.

As Kidd's successor, DeLong was selected as an All-Star for the first time in his career, although he was a 2005 Tanhua show.

Jazz fans have always been upset with Delon In both seasons of 07-09, Deron averaged more than 18 points per game and more than 10 assists per game. With such a dazzling double-double jù, can you say that he doesn't have what it takes to be selected for the All-Star Game?

Apparently not, the only thing DeLong lacks right now is enough popularity.

On top of that, he's in the west.

The criteria for selection for the All-Star Game are popularity and strength, as well as that limited position. But after entering the NBA, DeLong's trajectory is more like a supporting role. Although Delon has a strong body, he is a rare point guard talent, and he is also ahead of Chris. Paul was chosen by the Jazz. But after that. But he has been suppressed by the aura of "Queen Bee" and has not been recognized enough by the outside world.

Spurs fans are also upset for Parker. What's the big deal if Deron doesn't make the cut, the little fat guy is just a rookie in '05, and they won three Parker championships, so they still can't make it to the All-Star?

This can only be blamed on the abundance of Western defenders, in addition to the two starters, and even the competition for the bench lineup is unprecedentedly fierce.

The little fat man was able to make it to the All-Star team, thanks to Roy's injury in January, otherwise he would have to stay on the bench and wait for his chance.

Upon learning that he had been selected as an All-Star, Delon said excitedly, "I'm so excited, this is my first All-Star, and it's still happening in my hometown, and my family will be able to come and cheer me on, so it's going to be a great week." ”

There's another player in the West who is particularly excited, and that's Kevin, who has finally squeezed into the All-Star game. Durant. In the 07 platinum generation, Animal Brothers and Durant have always been the representative figures, although the personal honor of the small schoolbag is not as good as the first two, but his potential and ability are not below the top two.

Durant has been pressed by the Animal Brothers for two whole years, and now he finally used his watch Xiàn to get an All-Star Game ticket, unlike some players who have to enter the bench and wait for an injury to fill the void.
