Chapter 199: Devil's March (2)
The Clippers don't have many home games in March, and they are all concentrated at the beginning of the month, so if they play well in the first half of March, the Clippers will not be defeated! But in these home games at the beginning of the month, the first two encounters were strong teams in the west, and they were still the most difficult back-to-back games.
The old captain is back in the old place today, and if he doesn't hate the Clippers in his heart now, no one will believe him at all!
In the NBA, players who have been swept away from the ground will come back to face the old owner, just like the two Kings, but when they see the Clippers, it's like they have been beaten with chicken blood!
Elton. Brand was interviewed by the Los Angeles media before the game, and when answering questions, he was calm, so that people could not see his state of mind, and even felt that the old captain was in a good mood, and he also made a few jokes with familiar reporters. However, when it came to the competition, everyone immediately knew what the old captain was thinking, and without words, his actions could prove it.
In the first quarter, as soon as the game began, Brand came up and beat the fox brother in the low position, announcing with a two-plus-one that Ji Guoyi, a chaotic minister and thief, was not qualified to compete with him head-on.
The old captain beat the little fox down just over halfway through the first quarter, and the 12 points in a single quarter made Clippers fans feel very uncomfortable.
But for Elton. Brand's boos didn't appear, Clippers fans are not unclear, and the Clippers can't be blamed for this trade; And you can't blame Brand; Clippers fans know that there is nothing wrong with their team's approach, and there is nothing wrong with everyone, but sometimes the world is so helpless......
But here's the problem, in the first quarter, Brand played so bravely that he still didn't let the Pistons take the lead on the road. The answer is simple, because the Clippers also have a Billups who has played chicken blood against his old master.
If the Clippers traded Brand because of a position conflict, it was a little helpless. Then the Pistons trade Billups is a bit out of place. Mr. Key has long been holding his breath. Be prepared to give the Pistons a good look and let them know that trading themselves is definitely an irreparable mistake!
Rodney. Starkey's potential is indeed good, but to compare with Billups, I'm afraid that even if his potential is fully released, he is not an opponent of Mr. Key, not to mention that Starkey has not yet played his potential, and he has no power to fight back at all, and he will be beaten by Billups for a whole section when he comes up.
Ji Guoshi was beaten down by the old captain. But how to say that the little fox also fought back twice, so as not to be so embarrassed that he didn't have the power to fight back at all, and this Starkey is completely, completely, and without the power to fight back, in the words of domestic fans: weak explosion!
In the first quarter, Billups contributed 10 points and 3 assists in a single quarter, helping the team lead the Pistons by one point.
Today's game is Chauncey. Billups and Elton. The battle for the names of the two Brand, except for these two, everyone is a supporting role.
Naturally, the twins fully supported Billups, and the only remaining Pistons on the other side also fully supported the old captain.
At the end of the first half, the Clippers led the Pistons by two points.
Billups as a point guard. Not only do he score points, but he also assists his teammates. Therefore, Billups scored 18 points and 7 assists in the first half, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best first half of his career.
In the second half, Billups restrained himself on the court and no longer played like in the first half of the finals, and Billups began to hand over the ball, which is what he does best, and when Mr. Key only has five or six assists per game, that's when the team is at its best.
At 105-102, Billups finally beat the Pistons with a key three-pointer, a key goal like this that was most common for Pistons fans in the past, but now Billups has shot it into their hoops.
The Clippers back-to-back, just played two overtime games with the Nuggets, and won at home against the Pistons, who won back-to-back games after the trade, and the media's questioning of Billups immediately disappeared, and Mr. Key used his own table to eliminate the media's doubts about him.
In this game, Ji Guoqiu scored 15 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks, Ji Guoqiu 15 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Billups 30 points, 10 assists and 4 steals, and Artest 22 points and 5 rebounds.
In the last few games, people have found an interesting place: that is, as soon as Billups came, Artest's number immediately began to rise.
Originally, the average number of beasts per game has dropped to 17+4+3, and there have been rumors of Artest's dissatisfaction with the number of shots getting smaller and smaller. Before the All-Star Game, Artest's friends broke the news to the media that it was said that the beast had complained in private that Ji Guoshi played too alone; Ji Guoqiu only passes the ball to his younger brother, and both of them like to brush the number of jù, one to score and the other to brush rebounds and assists, and the two of them dominate the ball together.
After Billups arrived with the Clippers, Artest's points began to rise, and the negative rumors immediately disappeared. This is the role of Billups, not only does he not possess the ball, but also distributes the ball reasonably, otherwise although the Pistons Five Tigers did not have a superstar, if there is no contradiction, there is no point guard like Billups who is good at distributing the ball.
On March 4, the Clippers defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 98-90 at home, Ji Guoqiu scored 17 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks, Ji Guoqiu 19 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, Billups 14 points and 7 assists, and Artest 20 points.

Ji Guoqiu got a triple-double for the fifth time in the regular season, and now Brother Panda has become a real triple-double king.

As of March 16, the Clippers have completed 10 games of the Devil's schedule in March, with a record of 6 wins and 4 losses. With such a devilish schedule, the Clippers have no black spots, and they are still in seventh place in the West. Not only did it not give the Nuggets and Mavericks a chance, but they expanded the win with the eighth-place Mavericks to two, three wins ahead of the ninth-place Nuggets, and temporarily secured the seventh position in the West.
There have been a lot of changes in the Western Conference standings since the end of February, 1 Rockets, 2 Spurs, 3 Lakers, 4 Jazz, 5 Hornets, 6 Suns, 7 Clippers, 8 Mavericks, and 9 Nuggets.
The Rockets have a win ahead of the Spurs by virtue of their winning streak, which is the first time this season that the Houstonians have sat on the top of the West, but it is unknown how long they can sit on the throne, anyway, the media is not optimistic about how competitive the Rockets' current roster can be, and the Houstonians can temporarily sit in the first place in the West, relying on their astonishing 26 consecutive wins in the middle of the season.
But the sad news for Rockets fans has come back again. Yao Ming was injured again in the last game, and the diagnosis result was season reimbursement!
The accurate information given by the Rockets official is a break of 6 to 8 weeks. It's impossible to say if Yao Ming can catch up with the playoffs in April, so the Rockets' breath is now broken, and the Houstonians are afraid that they won't be able to sit in that position for a few days before they fall.
The Clippers have been playing hard for half a month, and the two brothers have been happy in their suffering, they have relied on their watches in the All-Star Game, and they have received a lot of endorsements during this time, and these endorsements are equivalent to US dollars, and Le Yile should also be ......
Ji Guoqiu received an endorsement again, Microsoft hopes that Panda Hero can endorse their Xbox360, this is to hear that Panda likes to play console games, this kind of gimmick Microsoft feels that it can be used, take the opportunity to hype up its own game console, just sign Ji Guoqiu to deal with Sony Dafa, otherwise they will only use their own cracks to deal with the menacing PS3.
Microsoft offered Ji Guoqiu an endorsement fee of 5 million US dollars for 4 years, the endorsement price is not high, but there are also very few restrictions on him in the contract, as long as Ji Guoqiu shoots two advertisements during the contract, and Brother Panda also has the right of veto, if he feels that the advertising creativity is not good, or does not meet his image, he can choose to refuse.
Another company is Procter & Gamble's "Head & Shoulders", and they gave Ji Guoqiu a contract of $6 million for 4 years, which is very high for a shampoo advertisement.
Ji Guoyi is the spokesperson for "Rejoice", which is also a subsidiary of Procter & Gamble, and the endorsement contract of the two is exactly the same, both of which are 6 million US dollars for 4 years. In addition to signing a contract with Rejoice, Little Fox also signed a three-year contract of $6 million with Thailand's Red Bull Energy Drink, which is his first beverage endorsement.
The two brothers now have four or five big contracts with an annual endorsement fee of more than one million, and as for the miscellaneous small contracts, there are countless ones, and the two of them don't remember what those small endorsements are, and it is estimated that there will be at least twenty or thirty items in total, all of which are handed over to their business team to be responsible for, and the two of them only remember a few of their big contracts.
So far, Ji Guoqiu has endorsed: Nike ($45 million in 5 years), BMW ($12 million in 4 years), Nokia ($10 million in 4 years), Head & Shoulders ($6 million in 4 years), and Xbox360 ($5 million in 4 years)
So far, Ji Guoyi has endorsed: Adidas (5 years 45 million US dollars), Huawei (2 years 5 million US dollars), Aston Martin (3 years 6 million), Reorouge (4 years 6 million US dollars), Red Bull (3 years 6 million US dollars)
Their big endorsements, coupled with a bunch of small endorsements, have earned more than $20 million before tax and about $10 million after tax.
Ji Guoqiu has also dug up a lot of people through his own business team in the past half a month, and his "Giant Panda Studio" will be officially established at the end of the month, and he is ready to get "Angry Birds" out first, followed by "Plants vs. Zombies", "Fruit Ninja", these popular mobile games, anyway, the mobile games that will be popular in the next few years, "Giant Panda Studio" will all be copied and copied......
These mobile games are easy to develop and have a high rate of return, and Panda Hero feels that he will soon be able to save enough funds to develop triple-A masterpieces. That's right, his and Little Radish Silk's real plan is to accumulate funds through guò mobile games, and then go back to develop hundreds of millions of dollars of large-scale products like "Halo", "GTA4", and "Biochemical Shock".
The implementation of Ji Guoyi's "fast broadcast plan" is not smooth, and it is not easy to dig talents in this area now, and their business team is still in the preparatory stage. So maybe the season is over, and his video website hasn't started yet. Ji Guoyan now wants to take advantage of the fact that Youku and Big Tudou are still in the financing stage, and go to the role himself.
As a result, just when he was depressed, his future father-in-law helped him solve this problem again and recommended him several talents in this area. Although Ji Guoyi didn't know that his future father-in-law, as a stockbroker, would draw a few college students with professional counterparts, in the end, he could only be classified as: the stockbroker has a wide connection.
Ji Guoqiu's "Fox Video" and "Fox Player" have a start-up capital of 20 million US dollars, which is much more than Ji Guoqiu's "Giant Panda Studio". Of the 20 million, he contributed 10 million, accounting for 50% of the shares, Ji Guoqiu invested 5 million, accounting for 25%, Taylor. Swift and his future father-in-law also invested 5 million to get the final 25% of the shares.
On March 18, the companies funded by the two of them were set up in "Los Angeles" and the "Cayman Islands" respectively. And the two of them will play the Minnesota Timberwolves away on the same day.
After the game, the Timberwolves became the first team to suffer from the Clippers, and they gloriously became the first team to be killed by the Clippers three times this season.
Ji Guoqiu had 16 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks, and Ji Guoqiu had 18 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks. (To be continued......) R1292
