Chapter 579: Team Rocket Trade
On November 16, the Clippers played the Thunder again, and this time Artest returned, and the effect was immediate, and the two teams played a full two overtimes to decide the winner.
The Thunder are a group of rookies on their home court, in much better shape than the last game, and the tactics have also played a bit, and the process is quite dramatic.
Durant's stunner in regular time sent both teams into the first overtime; Brother Fox's lore missed, sending both teams into second overtime; Brother Panda's second overtime strike allowed the Clippers to leave Oklahoma with a victory, beating the Thunder twice this season.
This is the eighth game of the new season for the Clippers, and the start of the 8-game winning streak has made Clippers fans overjoyed, and the Clippers have also risen to the second place in the West on this day, and they are the only undefeated team in the league with the Lakers and Cavaliers, but two are nine wins in a row and one is an eight-game winning streak.
Ji Guoqiu had 18 points, 16 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 blocks, Ji Guoyi had 36 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Billups had 15 points and 5 assists, and Hill had 10 points and 5 assists.
On the same day, the league announced the second week's "Player of the Week Award", Ji Guoyi won this honor without surprise, he is the best player in the West this week, 40+ twice in a row, and once 30+, the Clippers won all of them, and the fox brother deserved this honor.
The East was honored by Chris. Bosh, although he just lost to the Clippers a few days ago, but Bosh averaged 32 points, 14 rebounds and 3 blocks per game this week, and it is not surprising that he can win = this award.
The Thunder team has no way to protest now, Ji Guosha is obviously on the bar with Durant during this time, and the whole Clippers team supports him to score points, you must know that the strength of the two teammates is very different. Brother Panda, Mr. Key, and Glass Man are all superstar figures with excellent planning ability. If these three people are determined to help Ji Guosha, they will make up their scores. The effect is three or four stories stronger than that of Westbrook.
Ji Guoyi now averages 36 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 3.0 blocks and 1.6 steals per game, leading the league's scoring list, and his average points per game exceed Xiao's schoolbag by 3 points.
"Yes, my team-mates are fighting for me to be the top scorer and I'm grateful to them and I'm glad to be in such a great team and it's great to play with them. Sometimes I don't even want to go home because I love them so much. â
After Ji Guoyan finished saying this, he was kicked out of bed by the little singer at night.
However, this feeling is not unique to him, the atmosphere in the Clippers' locker room is very good right now, the satisfaction of the team's main players is extremely high, and the Clippers' chemistry this season has completely surpassed the previous two seasons, which is one of the main factors in their eight-game winning streak.
However, some people are happy, and naturally some people are worried. Crawford, Garcia and Jeffries have played a lot less this season, and they are the ones who are dissatisfied. There's no way around it, Grant. Hill averaged 28 minutes per game. It's the playing time of these two people that takes up it, and of course they won't be happy.
But that's how cruel the NBA is. The coach didn't target you, you couldn't get playing time, you can only blame yourself for not contributing enough to the team, and you don't have anything to do with others.
Grant. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Hill said: "I've had a lot of fun with the Clippers, where I've been let off a lot because my teammates have drawn most of the defense over, which allows me to get easy open shots. Hill is happy with his role on the team and is optimistic about the team's prospects this season, "It's been the easiest season for me and I firmly believe that the Clippers can defend the title because we have two interior players who can't defend it, and you know what that means only as their opponents." â
On Nov. 18, the Clippers played away against the Hornets, and the two teams played in overtime to decide the winner.
Chris. Paul has not been injured this season, I don't know if it is a chain reaction caused by the two brothers, this year the queen bee is not injured, and the table is more perverted than last season, and it is clearly going for the MVP.
This game, Chris. Paul had 32 points and 20 assists to make the best game of his career.
But the ending is still a tragedy, the Hornets still lost to the Clippers, the score is 124:120, Paul didn't even get a chance to kill this time, and the Hornets became the second team to be double-killed by the Clippers after the Thunder.
Ji Guoqiu had 16 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 blocks, Ji Guoyan had 35 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, Billups had 18 points and 6 assists, and Hill had 15 points and 3 assists.
On November 19, the Clippers played the Grizzlies again, which was a back-to-back away game, at this time the Memphis had just experienced the team's infighting, and the military spirit was extremely unstable, and the Clippers retreated easily away to celebrate ten consecutive wins.
The Memphis Grizzlies' team management, the ability is obviously a big step behind the Thunder, even the Clippers knew that one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, once the core of the team is established as twin brothers, immediately send the old captain away. Raheem Sterling and Dunleavy Sr. didn't hesitate in the slightest, and that's the kind of courage and determination that a team management should have, to strike when it was time to do so.
The Thunder are no worse than the Clippers, since they identified Durant as the core of the team, the rookies in the past few years have come to the team to report, the first thing is to buy a drink or a burger for Durant, anyway, they have to buy something, this is to tell them, who is the boss of this team.
Therefore, sometimes the boss of the team asks you to carry your bag as soon as they meet, not necessarily to bully you, but to make you realize the reality, this team already has a master, don't think about it.
The Grizzlies have done a terrible job of this, delaying the establishment of a core of the team, and the team's top brass seems to want the players to fight for it themselves. Looking at it this way, it is indeed very free and fair, but the result is not so good, the team is directly chaotic into a pot of porridge, no one is convinced, everyone wants to fight, the Grizzlies have become a plate of loose sand, and now they have lost six in a row.
This story tells us once again that sometimes it's not a good thing to be too democratic, it's not a good thing to be too free, and if you don't grasp the scale well, you can only die.
The Grizzlies' internal power struggle has allowed the Clippers to find a third team to be double-killed by them, and now the team's goal has gone from a 10-game winning streak to a 15-game winning streak, and they are aiming for the best start and winning streak in ZĂ o history.
On November 21, the Clippers returned home to face the Denver Nuggets. Anthony is now at a staggering with his own team, which is another example of the scale not being mastered well. Back then, Kobe Bryant's forced palace Lakers was a textbook positive example, where Peter Pan successfully traded the team to provide an excellent helper, and did not really have a stiff relationship with the team, which was the right way to force the palace.
Instead of pressuring the team to bring him help, Anthony is now making up his mind to trade him for a rebuild. Yes, the Nuggets are now peddling melons everywhere and will accept trade requests as long as the terms offered by the other side are suitable. Because the Nuggets know that the two sides have torn their faces, and if they don't trade Anthony now, they won't even get a hair until next summer.
Of course, such a team will not have much fighting power, and the players on the team are thinking about brushing up from top to bottom in order to get the next contract, and in this case, it is enough for the Clippers to open one eye to solve the problem.
With a final score of 108:90, the Clippers defeated the Denver Nuggets at home and easily won 11 consecutive wins in the season.
Ji Guoqiu 25 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks, Ji Guoqiu 28 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Billups 14 points and 5 assists, Hill 10 points and 2 assists.
This is the Clippers' last game of the week, and Ji Guoyi's personal number is still eligible to win the best of the week, but if he is allowed to win it like this, more than Durant fans will be dissatisfied in the West. So the next day, the league awarded the third week's "Player of the Week" to Kobe Bryant. Bryant, poor Durant still has to continue to work hard for his first career Weekly Awards.
On another occasion, Durant only won the first Player of the Week award in January 2010, and now it's only 2009. And it's not good, he still has no play in January next year, who made this league have one more panda and fox, many outstanding players in the West have not won the Player of the Week award until now, such as Aldridge and Guy, their Player of the Week is of course occupied, but they don't know it yet.
On Nov. 24, the Clippers beat the Milwaukee Timberwolves at home.
On Nov. 26, the Clippers beat the Indiana Pacers on the road.
On Nov. 28, the Clippers beat the Detroit Pistons again.
On November 30, the last game of the Clippers' regular season first month, the opponent was again the hapless Grizzlies, and the Memphis started with four consecutive wins at the beginning of the season, and by the end of the month, the record had become 6-9, ranking 11th in the West.
If this game is lost again, it would be foolish for the Grizzlies to say anything about their rise this season.
The team's record is a bit bad, Griffin's personal table this month is not bad, the average number of 19+9 per game is very beautiful, and there is basically no doubt about winning the Western Conference Rookie of the Month. Although Evans played 18+4+4 in the Kings, the difference between the two styles of play is huge, and Griffin's popularity is incomparable to Evans.
The Grizzlies' current problem is still internal discord, Guy and Griffin don't get along, the two have very little cooperation on the court, plus a Mayo also wants to earn the boss position, this team can't think about it.
O.J. Mayo is okay to say that his relationship with Griffin is okay, but Guy and Griffin, the two must go one or the other, otherwise the Grizzlies will continue to sink.
Now that trade rumors are rampant about Gay, many teams are salivating over the athletic small forward, with the Rockets willing to pay a big price for the brilliant swingman.
On Nov. 30, the Clippers beat the Memphis Grizzlies at home without incident, and two hours later, a big deal was made.
The Houston Rockets traded Brooks + Weaver + Ariza + Battier from the Memphis Grizzlies to Marco. Jarich + Mirisic + Rudy. Guy. (To be continued......) R1292
