That night, the league announced the "Player of the Week" award for the first week of the 09-10 season. James was elected.

Ji played four games this week, and the team won all of them, averaging 29 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals per game, becoming one of the best players in the West this week. This is the sixth time that Ji Guoyi has won the Player of the Week award, and Brother Panda has won it 7 times, and the two also have a Player of the Month record each.

On November 10, after the Clippers defeated the Grizzlies, they continued to sit at home against the New Orleans Hornets.

The Hornets didn't bolster their weak areas in the summer, and they are waiting for next summer, and although New Orleans is a small team, they have Paul in their hands and may be able to attract the likes of Anthony and Stoudemire next year. But that's next year, and this season the Hornets' strength has not risen but fallen, and the two brothers have tied Chris in overtime. Paul, Queen Bee's final lore didn't succeed, and the Clippers got away with it.

On Nov. 12, the Clippers were still playing at home, and the first month of the season was a very good one, and it was the stage of the sprint to grab points.

The Clippers' opponent this time is the Oklahoma City Thunder, this year the Thunder and Grizzlies are the league's two most favored youth guards, but unfortunately the Grizzlies were hit hard in Los Angeles, they lost two games in a row, and then lost to the Portland Trail Blazers on their home court, and then lost to the Houston Rockets on the road.

The Thunder are different, except for a loss to the Los Angeles Lakers at the beginning of the season, and then the three strong teams of the Trail Blazers, Rockets, and Magic. The record is 5-1. In third place in the West. Higher than the Clippers.

The Clippers face the Thunder, more than the Grizzlies a few days ago, the Thunder is a team with a clear core, no matter how good the rookie they select next, the core is only Durant, which allows the Thunder to avoid internal contradictions, and the combat power can be cohesive, this is the real Youth Guard.

The Thunder drafted James this year. Harden. In addition, Ibaka, who was selected last year, was also bought out of his parent contract by the Thunder, and finally landed in the NBA this season, which has alleviated the embarrassment of the Thunder's interior line. Their core, Kevin. Durant has continued to improve this season, and his first six games are one step further than last season, averaging 32 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists per game, leading the league scoring list.

The Oklahoma media believes that Durant's first week is better than Ji's, but the league seems to have been biased against their core, and the bag has never won a weekly award until now, can it be a little worse?

Durant said that in the preseason. He's going to be the top scorer this year, no matter who the opponent is.

Ji Guo was ashamed of his disdain. But his average points per game is indeed inferior to his opponents, and it seems that if he wants to break through the threshold of 30 points per game, the chances of winning the scoring title are not high.

Despite this, no one in the league will feel that Ji Guoyilun's scoring ability is not as good as Durant's, at least in the first six games, although Durant has practiced a certain ability to break through with the ball in the summer, but compared with Ji Guoyi, Durant's breakthrough is obviously a lot worse.

Durant's turnovers have increased this year, basically caused by breakthroughs, Durant strengthened more in the summer is the stability of shooting, and now his shooting is more accurate and stable, but the breakthrough ability has limited improvement compared to last season.

Before the Los Angeles Times, the enemy star was once again sung.

Reach. Bendan believes that Ji Guoyi's score is not as good as Durant's, and there is certainly a reason, because the Clippers pay more attention to the collective and pay attention to sharing the ball, so no one on the team has more than 20 shots. If you compare the number of shots made by the two, you can see that Ji Guoyi scored 29 points, with an average of only 18 shots per game, but Durant took 22 shots to score 32 points, and the efficiency of the two was high.

As we all know, in the game, it is not difficult to prevent jump shots, you don't have to worry about losing your position, as long as you move sideways to keep up. But the anti-breakthrough is different, once the breakthrough player hits the opponent's inner line, out of the three-second zone protection, the defender's supplementary defense, the auxiliary defense will come up, and the offensive player will attract at least 3 defensive points at a time, so that the opponent's defensive formation will all be messed up, even if he doesn't score, he can also use the sudden score to give others a chance.

According to Ji Guoyi's playoff table last season, the Los Angeles Times counted the number of times the Fox broke through the basket and the corresponding offensive efficiency (a breakthrough here refers to receiving the ball at least 6.1 meters from the basket and dribbling to 3 meters from the basket, excluding fast breaks).

In the regular season last season, Ji Guoyi averaged 6.8 breakthroughs per game, scored 5.8 points, and shot 63.3% from the field. By the playoffs, those numbers had risen to an average of 7.5 breakaways per game, with 6.8 points and 63.1 percent shooting from the field.

This statistic does not include the assists and kills caused by Ji Guosha's breakthrough, which shows that players have the ability to break through in order to play a better table in the playoffs.

Durant's numbers are only in the regular season, and last year he averaged 3.5 breakaways per game, scoring 2.4 points and shooting 46.5 percent from the field, which is a big cut of efficiency. Such a number jù with Lore. Deng is very similar to Prince, but he is lower than the top scorers in other leagues, such as James and Kobe, who are similar to Ji Guoyi. Although Durant averaged 28 points per game last season, he is clearly a notch behind the league's top attackers.

How to play the Thunder, there is no good way to target it in the league for the time being, this is because the Thunder has not yet become the big enemy of the strong teams, they are not qualified to compete for the championship, at best they are a member of the playoff teams, and the real strong teams in the league will not focus too much on them.

The Lakers are the only team in the West to maintain a full victory, their way to deal with the Thunder is completely with hard power head-on, that game yesterday the Clippers also watched, the Lakers won completely at the last moment, relying on Kobe Bryant, Gasol to win, relying on the power of the star, it can be seen that the Zen master did not take the Thunder too seriously, did not study this young guard.

The Clippers are going to do the same today, and as long as they play at their normal level, they can win the game.

Thunder starters: Russell. Westbrook, Saab. Sefrosa, Kevin. Durant, Jeff. Green, Nenad. Kostic.

Clippers starting facelift: Chauncey. Billups, Matt. Barnes, Grant. Hill, Ji Guosha, Ji Guoqiu.

Dunleavy Sr. used Barnes as a starter today, which is to allow Barnes to play against Durant on the defensive end, and for Hill to deal with Sefrosa, who is easier to defend, which is the right arrangement and the right medicine.

Coach Brooks, who was not fired, continued to be the head coach of the Thunder this season.

Today, Brooks plans to break through Hill with frequent pick-and-roll changes, and he doesn't think that in the face of the Thunder's energetic boys, Hill with old arms and legs can still withstand it. If the Thunder want to break the Clippers' defense, the best way is to break the surface with points and look for the weakest point on the Clippers' defensive end, which is the Thunder's battle plan today.

However, in the first three minutes, Hill Sr. gave Brooks a hard slap, and even the Clippers players didn't expect that Hill faced the impact of the Thunder and actually defended from the No. 1 position to the No. 4 position, and he had a way to deal with it. Although one of the defenses was scored by Westbrook with speed after changing defenses, he still used his experience and awareness to cause Durant and Green to miss shots one after another in the face of the Thunder's offense, and he did not bear the foul price for defense, and did not commit a single foul.

The Thunder attacked Hill four times after the opening, one successful and two failed, and one of Westbrook's breakthroughs was also slapped down by Ji Guosha, who assisted in the defense, which is equivalent to only one success in four attacks.

The Clippers' offense played well, and Sefrosa's defense prevented Hill from getting a chance, but the two brothers on the inside exploded again in the face of the Thunder's weak interior, and the two combined to score 10 points in the first three minutes, forcing the Thunder to call a timeout to solve a lot of trouble.

With a score of 10:4, the Thunder's tactics of attacking Hill were obviously unsuccessful, and his experience and defensive skills let the Thunder and a group of young people know that the body is very important, but you don't know how to use it at all, and you don't know how to cherish it.

Charles. Barkley appeared in the live broadcast room again in this game, and when he saw Hill's defensive footage kept playing in the replay, the big ass couldn't help laughing: "The Thunder actually want to use Hill as a breakthrough, they may have forgotten that guy is the only superstar who can become an All-Star in his rookie season and continue to win in the face of Jordan in the second season." ”

Kenny. Smith also said: "Maybe I'm not right, but I've always felt that he is a James who plays elegantly and moves beautifully, maybe his body is a little worse, but his skills are even better, and the average of 21+9+7 per game is not something anyone can get." ”

Fans followed suit and said how awesome Hill was, but after a timeout, Hill's breakthrough layup was slapped out of nowhere by Ibaka. Obviously, even a player like Hill can't watch and listen to every offense, and he didn't expect that this first-year rookie's defensive speed is so fast, I'm afraid he will have to fight with his fox teammates.

Coach Brooks saw that Kostic had already been fouled twice, and after a timeout, he switched to senior rookie Ibaka to play center, but everyone didn't expect this guy to move so fast. Looking at the replay carefully, this Ibaka's footsteps really don't have to be much worse than Ji Guo's shame.

However, although the basketball was taken away, it still fell into the hands of the Clippers, Ji Guozhi took two steps forward to pick up the basketball, and a shooting feint shook up and wanted to cover him again, and easily played two plus one. (To be continued......) R1292
