Chapter Seventy-Nine: Phoenix Sun

"Well done, I'm proud of you!"

After the game, Dunleavy Sr. did not criticize his players, but slapped the shoulders of the players who were frustrated by the loss to show encouragement.

It's not easy to be a coach in the NBA, and it takes a lot of effort to study the psychology of players alone.

With a final score of 85-95, the Nuggets defeated the Clippers on the road, a result that was expected by major media outlets.

Although the Nuggets won, they did not win easily, the two guns did not penetrate the Clippers' paint zone defense from start to finish, and the victory was all due to the individual play of the stars and the hot touch of the bench.

Although the reporters are not disciplined, they also know that the Nuggets are the most unreliable way to win, and they are not to be happy about, and they also don't have much to find fault with the Clippers.

After the game, he took the initiative to find Ji Guoyi to exchange jerseys.

"Little one, the heat is still a little worse, but it's much better than your neighbor, I'm optimistic about you."

Camby's words made Ji Guoshi blush a little, and all his small actions were rebounded today, and he almost didn't reach his opponent.

"My predecessors have taught me a lot today, and I will repay them next time we meet." Ji Guoyi's tone was quite serious, and he said with an extremely modest look.

Camby felt awkward when he heard this, today he was not angered by Ji Guoyi's small actions, because Ji Guozhi has greatly restrained his small tricks since he injured the rotten tofu, and he hates it, but he will not really hurt the other party.

Villains and villains are not the same, Ji Guoyan intends to be a villain who is admired, not a villain who is spurned!

Ji Guoqiu and Iverson exchanged jerseys, which is his idol, and this season should be the final scenery of the answer. The feared little man in this league has been coming off the top since last year, just as quickly as he was when he first became famous.

"Big man, you're very good, I don't recognize you two brothers, but your defense makes me very uncomfortable, if you were in the finals that year, I might have won the championship."

"If we have a chance, maybe we'll be teammates."

Iverson smiled and didn't say anything more, and the two exchanged jerseys.

The two brothers played 36 minutes in this game, and Ji Guoqiu scored 10 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, shooting 3 of 6 and 4 of 5 free throws. Ji Guoyi had 15 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, shooting 5 of 13 and 2 of 6 three-pointers.

For the Nuggets, Iverson had 25 points and eight assists, Anthony had 23 points and six rebounds, J.R. Smith had 15 points, Kenyon Martin had 10 points and seven rebounds, and Camby had 10 points and 12 rebounds.

At the post-game press conference, Ji Guoyi was asked by reporters whether the Nuggets felt difficult, and his answer was still arrogant.

"I don't think it's difficult, I didn't feel good today, and I'm looking forward to the next time we play the Nuggets, but until then we're going to reclaim the top eight."

Ji Guoqiu was also consistent and modest in an interview, and said implicitly: "We are quite satisfied with our defensive performance, but the contribution to scoring is not enough, and defense alone cannot win the game, we will continue to hone our offensive skills." ”

The elder Dunleavy first congratulated the Nuggets after the game, and then praised his disciples. This is not to take care of the player's feelings after losing, he is really satisfied with his players in this game, and believes that if he continues to run in for a while, the strength of the team will be even better. Especially when the two brothers can contribute more offensively, that's when they really rise.

After the game between the Clippers and the Nuggets, their record changed to 6-4 and fell to 9th place in the West.

The Clippers' next game is on Nov. 24, and they have only one day off before heading to Phoenix, 60 kilometers away, to take on the Suns, who are third in the West.

The Suns started the season with an 8-2 record, ranking first in the Pacific Division and third in the West.

There are six divisions in the NBA, with three each in the East and West. In order to ensure that the interests of each region are balanced, the NBA has established a rule to ensure that at least one team from each region participates in the playoffs.

According to the rules, the top eight teams in each of the two leagues enter the playoffs, with the top three teams in the three divisions of the same league being determined by their results, and the remaining five teams are ranked according to their respective records.

This means that the first place in each region, even if the result is worse, will at least be in the top three in the East and West. This leads some teams with many strong teams, even if they have excellent records, as long as they can't get the first place in the division, they can only rank outside the top three.

The Clippers and Suns are in the same Pacific Division, and teams from the same division will play each other four times a season, and teams from the other divisions will only play two or three times.

"I lost the game, can you come out and have a drink with me? I don't have many friends in Los Angeles. ”

Ji Guoyi sent a text message to Taylor Swift, in a bleak tone, and those who didn't know thought he was depressed. Actually, this bastard is holding a playboy and laughing at the naked girls above.

"I had an event in New York and I'm at the airport now."

Taylor Swift actually sent a text message back to reply after half a ring, Ji Guoyi looked at it, and thought that the little singer was still angry with him, this was an excuse.

"The little slut is hypocritical, sooner or later he will make your belly bigger, see if you dare to play a little temper when the time comes."

In fact, Taylor Swift is really on a plane to New York today, and she does have a show in New York.

Ji Guo put down his mobile phone and playboy helplessly, and shouted to Ji Guoqiu in the room: "Boss, go training." ”

Ji Guoqiu sat next to the computer, today the team only has two hours of simple recovery training, the recent schedule is tight, the team is worried that excessive training will affect the player's body lì guide zhì injury, these days have greatly reduced the training time.

"Why are you so positive today?"

"No sister, what can you do if you say I don't train."

"Okay, let's go practice." Ji Guoqiu saw that this guy finally took the initiative to ask for more training, of course he had to accompany him.

The two went out of the door, and Ji Guoqiu glanced at the door of Emma Roberts's house, who offended this little girl in the last game, and she didn't see anyone for two days.

"Boss, do you think we need to hire a trainer? It's the kind of former star player who has retired. ”

"Do you have any money? If you want to find a retired celebrity to learn, you must at least master the skills you want to learn to a certain level, those people charge very expensive, an hour can cost us tens of thousands of dollars, we can't afford to learn from the basics. ”

Ji Guoyi sighed: "It would be nice if our team had famous hotels like Olajuwon and Jabbar, and the fees could be cheaper." ”

Ji Guoqiu suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, our agent helped us introduce a few more endorsements, can you accept them?" ”

"Of course not, we are not short of money, all-star time to consider endorsements, recently Jordan has opened the price to 6 years 20 million US dollars, but those guys just give me 100 million and want me to endorse them, they are the most despised Chinese bastards."

"Jordan seems to be the same family as Nike?"

"Made, then we won't even accept Nike, we sign Adidas, if even Adidas looks down on us, then we will give up half selling and half sending Peak, maybe we will win the championship this season......"

On November 24th, the Clippers will face another tough game on the road, where they will take on the Phoenix Suns, who are seven seconds away, with two-time MVP winner Steve Nash and Stard Demeyer, one of the league's top five power forwards.

The two teams played each other in the preseason, but the two souls of the Suns did not play at that time, and Phoenix at that time was only 70% strength at most, and today the Clippers will welcome the best Suns, they have a stronger bombardment than the Warriors!

Dunleavy Sr. was at a loss in the locker room about how to limit the Suns, and unlike the Warriors, who were inconsistent with their outside three-point shots, they did have a bunch of outside shooters, including Nash, who was the most accurate three-point shooter in the league.

That's right, Nash's three-point accuracy in the past few seasons has been against the sky, and he has maintained a three-point shooting rate of more than 45%, and Ji Guosha, who has outstanding projection ability, has been a chrysanthemum tight.

Ji is the team's most accurate three-point player, and his 42.5 percent three-point shooting rate looks high, but it is immediately dwarfed by Nash's 47 percent three-point shooting this season.

Not only is the Suns a headache for Dunleavy Sr., but the basket guarded by the two brothers today will also undergo the toughest test since the start of the season, and the interior offensive power of Stoudemire and Marion is far more powerful than the Nuggets in the last game.
