Chapter 141: After Christmas
On December 28, the Clippers played Phoenix Young at home, their first game since Christmas.
Taylor Swift and Christine both came to support their boyfriends today after Christmas, and even Emma Roberts came to watch the game and support her good neighbor who gave her Christmas presents.
This time a sister joined forces to support, it is estimated that it was supported, Ji Guoyi today 18 shots 5 incarnate Los Angeles No. 9 blacksmith, the table xiàn is not inferior to the city opponent No. 24. Ji Guoqiu played normally, but unfortunately his offensive ability was limited, and the whole team didn't feel good today, relying on his contribution of up to 20 points, it was difficult to change the outcome of the game, not to mention that the opponent was the Yang team in the west.
The two brothers played 39 minutes today, breaking the record for career playing time.
Old Dunleavy saw that these two guys were full of body, and began to increase their playing time little by little, testing the limits of the two, occasionally letting them play for 40 minutes, and it seemed that it was not a big deal, they were really two birds and beasts.
In this game, Ji Guoqiu got 18 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, and Ji Guoqiu had 15 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks.
The Clippers' previous suspensions, Catino Mobley and James Posey, have been lifted today, but unfortunately Posey is temporarily unavailable due to injury, Artest is still suspended, and the Clippers' two backcourts will not be back until the next game.
The final score was 92102, and the Clippers were still unorganized, losing to an opponent in the same district for the second time this season, and were killed by the Phoenix Young!
Stoudemire had 28 points and 12 rebounds, Nash 18 points and 12 assists, Marion 20 points and 6 rebounds, and Barbossa 15 points.
On December 29th, the Clippers went to the road back-to-back to challenge the Phoenix Yang team again, the two opponents in the same district will play two games in two consecutive days, the Clippers' devil schedule has entered a high and low tide, they have suffered consecutive defeats in the last home defeat to the Yang team, if this away team can't win again, it will be 4 consecutive defeats!
In this game, Artest and Posey both returned, and with the addition of old cats Mobley and Garcia, the Clippers' No. 2 spot has been returned. As for the No. 1 position, the Clippers' point guard can't be worse anyway, whether it's Cassel, Brynett or Black Parker, no matter how it changes, it's a killer.
Ji Guoyi's hand in this game is restored, and the slump in the last game is in this guy's mouth, which is called saving people, in order to stay until the main force returns in this game, and then release it together to kill Yang.
The two brothers played 38 minutes in this game, Ji Guoqiu got 16 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks, Ji Guoqiu 28 points, 12 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks, Artest 25 points, Mobley 16 points, Posey 12 points, Garcia 10 points.
The Clippers were in excellent shape in this game, not only the two brothers played well, but the beast held the court, today it was like a beast out of the cage, and the offensive end blew up Grant Hill, Artest's 25 points and Ji Guoyi's 28 points decided the outcome of the game.
The final score was 115110, and the Clippers defeated their opponents in the same region after overtime and stopped the losing streak.
The Suns had 28 points and 14 rebounds, Nash 22 points and 11 assists, Barbosa 20 points and Marion 18 points.
This game was the last game of December for the Clippers and the last game of 2007, and the Clippers only managed to score 1-3 against Western powerhouses in four consecutive games, which was unexpected and reasonable.
The Clippers' record has been hampered by a previous losing streak and has dropped to 7th place in the West with a 19-9 record.
Current Western standings: 1 Hornets, 2 Spurs, 3 Yangs, 4 Jazz, 5 Rockets, 6 Lakers, 7 Clippers, 8 Mavericks, 9 Nuggets, 10 Warriors.
Starting from the fourth place, the Jazz 21-8, the Rockets 20-8, the Lakers 20-9, the Clippers 19-9, the Mavericks 18-10, and the Nuggets 18-11.
With such a stalemate between the teams in the West, most of the media dare not speculate lightly about who will make the playoffs in the end? This situation is impossible to predict at all, maybe which team is unlucky, the star of the house is injured unexpectedly, there is no need to be strict, as long as the injury lasts for ten days and half a month, this ranking may change.
On December 31, the official NBA website once again announced the "Player of the Month" and "Rookie of the Month".
The Eastern Conference Player of the Month award for December went to the Celtics' Kai Garnett, who averaged 22.5 points, 11.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.5 blocks in 36 minutes per game in December. Just looking at Garnett's individual number jù, it doesn't seem to be as good as LeBron James, but the Wolves led the Celtics to an excellent record of 12 wins and 2 losses, coupled with the equally excellent individual number jù, it immediately became a matter of course to win the best of the month.
The Western Conference Player of the Month was Yao Ming, who averaged 26.5 points, 10.8 rebounds and 2.1 blocks in 35 minutes per game in December.
Yao Ming won the award for the same reason as Garnett, just looking at the number of individuals, the little giant is good enough, but it is still not good enough compared to Kobe. However, the Rockets finished with an 11-3 record in December and have already set a record of nine straight wins, the highest winning streak in the NBA this season outside of the Clippers. Crucially, the Houstonians can continue to extend their winning streak, and one more win would equal the Clippers' 10-game winning streak.
The Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month is El Don of the Celtics, who was supposed to be selected by the Clippers at No. 14 and was traded by the Clippers to the Philadelphia 76ers, and later traded to the Celtics by the 76ers and turned into a rookie with the Green Shirts.
Al Don averaged 12.1 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 25 minutes per game in December, ranking fifth on the rookie list.
The Western Conference Rookie of the Month is still the twin brothers of the Clippers, and the league continues to play the trick of tied, as long as the two of them are not far apart, everyone has almost guessed that the future Rookie of the Month will still be tied with the two, and the final Rookie of the Year is still tied with the two.
Ji Guoqiu played an average of 34 minutes per game in December, scoring 15.3 points, 11.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 3.1 blocks and 2.5 turnovers, shooting 55.6% from the field and 89.8% from the free throw line.
Ji Guoyi played an average of 34 minutes per game in December, scoring 19.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 2.4 blocks and 2.8 turnovers, shooting 48.5% from the field, 42.1% from the point range, and 90.2% from the free throw line.
The New York Times' Da Sabi held back for a long time after the two blockbuster awards were released, and he said in his report that Ji Guoqiu's performance this month was obviously stronger than that of his younger brother, and that the alliance continued to let the two juxtapose too deliberately, which was unfair and just, and also made the award mixed with too many publicity and commercial factors.
The two brothers didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, and this kind of discord would be fooled.
The New York media is playing a wedge and the Seattle media is taking revenge on their new core, Durant, who believes that Tiedu's December cousin is no worse than the two brothers and deserves a Rookie of the Month award.
For this kind of shameless remarks about the Seattle media, even the Los Angeles Times, which has always been indifferent to the Clippers, wrote a criticism of the Seattle media for opening their eyes and telling nonsense, even if Durant is about the same as the twins in terms of personal numbers, but the team's record is a mess, and the SuperSonics have a 6-22 pit record, and they are embarrassed to ask the league for the best rookie of the month? It's almost the same as giving you a big mouth!
On January 1, 2008, the Clippers played the first game of '08 at home against the Western Conference Woes, the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The current Timberwolves no longer have the Wolves King Garnett, their new core is Al Jefferson, who was traded from the Celtics, who is also an excellent All-Star insider, and this season in the Timberwolves can contribute an average of 20+11 individual numbers per game, Al Jefferson can afford to be called a low-post killer.
However, what Al Jefferson lacks compared to Garnett, the new Wolf King lacks dominance, and his talent could make him a great All-Star, but that's it, Al Jefferson does not have the talent to become a superstar.
All-stars can contribute a steady score every night, but superstars can rule every night, and that's the difference between the two!
Al Jefferson's large tonnage and solid low-post skills are very restrained by the current Ji Guoqiu, and it is difficult for the Panda Hero's strength to affect the new wolf king who is 208cm tall and weighs 265 pounds.
Ji Guoqiu was ravaged by Al Jefferson in the low post today, this is not like facing Duncan in the previous games, today the Panda Hero is more depressed, he often has made very correct judgments and defenses on the defensive end, but when he encounters the opponent's unreasonable power play, in the end he can't prevent the opponent, which is the real depression.
In this game, Ji Guoqiu got 16 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks, and Ji Guoqiu had 23 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.
With a final score of 9592, the Clippers narrowly defeated the Timberwolves by a margin and won the 2008 game, which was a good start to the new year.
Al Jefferson got 28 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, and the new wolf king also felt very uncomfortable in the face of Ji Guoqiu, the other party always wandered on the outside, and Al Jefferson realized what it was like for Yao Ming to meet Oku.
The Clippers defeated the Timberwolves and once again surpassed the city-rival Lakers to move into sixth place in the West.
The Lakers can't take care of this kind of trivial matter for the time being, they have focused on the team trade during this time, and the turmoil has arisen again in the past few days, and the trade between the Lakers and the Grizzlies has been very noisy for a while, and the focus has been on Paul Gaar, the inside line of the West Extraction.
Now there are all kinds of rumors in the media, and there is all the news for a while, and Paul Gal also took the initiative to show favor to the Lakers when facing the media, it seems that the two sides have secretly communicated with each other, and they have already done something shady in private.
The Grizzlies naturally denied this, claiming that Paul Gal is the core of the team, and will never trade the Spaniards!
