The 2007-2008 All-Star season in New Orleans will be held on February 17, half a month away.

The Clippers have had a mixed schedule in February, as they travel to the East in February, playing seven consecutive Eastern Conference away games, a tough trip to the East, but not too strong against the opposition. Except for the Celtics and Cavaliers, the rest of the opponents are not difficult to deal with, but the continuous away games and travel fatigue have added to their difficulty.

On February 2, the Clippers defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves, a weak team in the West, Ji Guoqiu scored 10 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks, and Ji Guoqiu scored 25 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.

On February 3, the Clippers played back-to-back away against the Cleveland Cavaliers, who were fourth in the East.

LeBron. James and Chris. Paul uses skill and speed to break the formation, how can the little emperor have so much leisure to play with them, and he will not either. The Gorilla just grabbed the ball and rushed to the inside to make a kill, and after the Clippers' defense contracted, the little emperor threw two more mid-to-long distances.

Today, they are unlucky, but they just caught up with the gorilla and felt good, the Clippers can be said to be unable to prevent either breakthrough or shooting, and they were overturned by the Cavaliers in the "Quick Loan Center" in the third quarter.

"Damn, the Spurs can sweep, why can't we kill him?" Ji Guoshi was very unhappy after losing this game, the little fox was Komi Zhanhei, and he couldn't wait to elbow the gorilla for the boss.

"Because my emperor is mighty, I lost today. Wait until you get back to your home stadium to get revenge. Away from home does not blow. "Ji Guoqiu is just the opposite. He is Jimmer Kehei, and he doesn't care too much about it, the "Quick Loan Center" is the famous devil's home stadium in the league, and the Cavaliers rarely lose here, and it's normal for them to lose to the Cavaliers back-to-back, and besides, today my emperor feels good, and no one can do anything.

Ji Guoqiu got 15 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks today, and Ji Guoqiu had 14 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks.

February 5th. The Clippers embark on their crusade, this time in the Big Apple to challenge the New York Knicks, the league's highest-paid salary.

The Knicks and Clippers staged a battle of points in the "Madison Square Garden", and in the fourth quarter, the Clippers exerted their strength, suddenly strengthened their defensive intensity, and easily took away the big bad team Knicks.

The final score was 120:105, and the score in this game was high, so the players naturally counted jù.

Ji Guoqiu scored 22 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks, and Ji Guoqiu scored 29 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks. The race was also won, and it didn't get any better than that. Any team playing in New York is always the happiest thing.

The Clippers are happy here, and their sworn enemies in the same city have also been prosperous during this period after the robbery and trading.

Paul. Gasol helped the Lakers to three straight wins as soon as he joined the team, and their record has surpassed the Rockets to move up to fifth place in the East.

The Western Conference teams are only one or two games apart from each other, and even the top-ranked Spurs are only four wins more than the Clippers. With less than ten games in the final season, it is impossible to confirm the final standings of the Western Conference teams. The Clippers are looking good right now, but they may not make the playoffs in the end, which is not impossible. The No. 9 Mavericks are only two wins short of them, and if the Clippers don't play well in the East, they will fall out of the top eight in minutes.

The next opponent of the Clippers is the Boston Celtics, who have the first record in the league, and the Big Three of the Green Shirts. So the game hasn't started yet, and basically everyone thinks that the win rate of the two teams is around 2:8, and the Clippers are naturally that 2.

However, there has been news in Los Angeles recently that Captain Brand has started training with the team, and his performance in the team training matches has been excellent. With this injury, the old captain's athleticism has not decreased much, only the bounce has been affected, and his threat in the low post is still at the top of the league. Brand has always had an excellent mid-range, which makes him not as physically dependent as the jumping men, who are technical streams.

The rest of the league was very worried when they heard the news, and once Elton. Brand is back in place, and the Clippers' interior offensive ability can be described as terrifying! On the defensive end, they suddenly have an All-Star with excellent defense in the low post, and at least when they meet a star like Boozer, they are not afraid of the opponent using their strength to eat the twins.

On Feb. 7, the Clippers visited TD North Shore Garden to take on league leaders Boston Celtics.

In this game, the Clippers will Elton. Brand joined the 12-man squad, which immediately attracted the attention of many people, and everyone was speculating whether the old Dunleavy would put the old captain on the field in this game?

In the pre-game training, many of the on-site shots were aimed at the old captain who had missed half a season, Elton. Brand was in good shape during the pre-game shooting warm-up, showing off his accurate mid-range shooting and often stopping to talk to his teammates. Among them, he spent the most time and frequency with the twins, and he looked like the big brother of the team, and he didn't put an old-timer in front of the two of them.

When the two brothers first joined the team, Brand was very cold to the two. But now it's different, the Clippers have long been different, the team has changed blood, and the newcomers Artest, James. Posey, Garcia, and Black Parker are all in the same faction as the twins, and the only old people on the team who know each other well are Cassel and Big Brush Tim. Thomas.

At this time, Brand, who has been in the league for many years, knows that his departure may be a matter of next season, and if he is not sure, he will be sent away by the team before the trade deadline this season, which is not unlikely. Brand is actually very entangled now, no one doesn't want to have excellent teammates, just look at the big three opposite, you know that if you want to win the championship, you must have excellent teammates to help.

But the twins are in the same position as him, and it hurts!

This year's team has a good record, but it has nothing to do with him, and to be honest, he admires these two little guys in his heart, and Brand asked himself this season, even if he is not injured, I am afraid he will not be able to do this way. Looking at the Mavericks, Nowitzki is better than him in terms of individual ability, and the Mavericks are not bad, but they are still behind the Clippers.

After the warm-up before the game, the Clippers returned to the visiting locker room for the final setup.

After the old Dunleavy arranged the tactics, he said to Brand: "Elton, your injury has just recovered, and these games will not let you start, and it will not give you too many opportunities to play." You need to be patient, as long as you find the form of the game, and the body is really fit for the game, it will naturally make you start again. ”

Elton. Brand knows that the elder Dunleavy can only believe the first half of the sentence, as for the return to the starter, I don't know when? However, he will not show his dissatisfaction, there is nothing wrong with Dunleavy Sr.'s arrangement, and this is the process after a major injury to the core of any team.

The Clippers' starters today are still Black Parker, James. Posey, Ron. Artest, Ji Guoyi, Ji Guoqiu.

"Boss, believe it or not, the old man will definitely trade Brand before the trade deadline." Ji Guoyi glanced at the old captain and said secretly in his heart.

"How can you be so sure?" Ji Guoqiu is not convinced, he thinks that even if it is traded, it should be next season.

"Don't forget, Brand can jump out of his contract next season, if he doesn't trade now, if he grows wings and runs away next year, the Clippers won't get anything, what will happen to you?"

"yes, I forgot that there is still this stubble, he seems to have jumped ship on another plane, does he have a veto on the transaction?"

"No, so I'm sure he will definitely be traded, so that the Clippers can still get an All-Star player through a guò trade, the old captain is still very popular at this time, he can get 20+10, and there are not many interior players in the league who have good defense."

The two of them were chatting, and old Dunleavy was thinking about this at this time, just as Ji Guozhi thought, old Dunleavy was really afraid of chickens and eggs next season, so he had already calculated and traded the old captain while it was hot. It can be said that from the beginning to the end, the elder Dunleavy had no intention of keeping Elton. Brand, has been actively seeking a deal.

Today's match against the league leader Celtics, the elder Dunleavy decided to play joint defense for a long time, and they couldn't resist the impact of the Big Three at all. Of course the elder Dunleavy also intends to make Elton. Branddo played for a while, controlling the old captain's playing time between 15 and 25 minutes, and if he wanted to trade, he had to let many buyers see how the goods were doing.

The Celtics currently have the best record in the league at 36-8, and they have won five in a row.

However, in today's game, the Clippers are not an easy team for the Bostoners. It should be said that none of the top ten teams in the west are easy to deal with, and now the eastern team has seen the western team, first of all, it is already half a quarter short from the momentum and is at a disadvantage. On the other hand, the western team now has a strange bonus to playing the eastern team, but whenever it comes to the east, the western team has played exceptionally well, and the western team has now occupied an overwhelming advantage in terms of record.

The Celtics, for example, have lost six of their eight games this season to Western Conference teams, giving Dunleavy Sr. the confidence to become the seventh Western Conference team to take out the Big Three.

Before the Clippers played, Dunleavy Sr. shouted at the door: "Let's maintain the honor of the Western team and kill the crumbs in the East!" ”

The players responded loudly: "The Clippers will win!" The West will win! (To be continued......) R861
