Finally, thank you to the students who gave the reward, still life try not to be in a hurry, and inject less water!

The Clippers and Magic finally lost 90-99 to Orlando, who is in the limelight this season.

The two brothers played 38 minutes, Ji Guoqiu scored 16 points, 11 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 blocks, and Ji Guoqiu had 22 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

In the next game, the Clippers played against the Mavericks and Suns at home on January 13, 16, and 19, and finally challenged the Jazz on the road.

The Clippers' hybrid defense, when facing the Mavericks, Suns, and Jazz, has limited impact on the opposing team's star on the defensive end. The Clippers won the last game against the Spurs, and the rest of the league immediately went through the night to look for weaknesses in the Clippers' defensive system. Among them, the strong teams in the West are the most active in this, and the Clippers are now a big threat to them.

The Mavericks first used long-range shooting against the Clippers, and they happened to have the league's most capable shooting big man, the German tank Nowitzki, and a point guard who is one of the league's top five speedies, Devin. Harris, a two-guard composed of him and Terry, one is good at shooting and the other can shoot, and the Mavericks' lineup team is very restrained by the Clippers.

The Clippers' hybrid defense poses some threat to the Dallasians, but not enough to win games, even at home. The Clippers lost 90-96.

The Phoenix Suns have an easier time with the Clippers. Nash had 31 points and 15 assists. The two-time MVP single-handedly took out the Clippers and taught his two compatriots another lesson. The biggest nemesis of the Clippers' hybrid defense at this stage is Steve. Players like Nash, the son of the wind can shoot and pass, and their broken net can't trap the Canadian at all for the time being.

The final game against the Jazz, the Clippers' best game in three games, had an impact on the Jazz on the defensive end. Williams didn't have a good outside touch today, and Boozer was also limited by the two brothers teaming up.

It's a pity that the Clippers' offense didn't play today. Although the double-blocking tactics made up for the shortcomings of the Clippers' lack of offensive power in a certain way, the Clippers were also unable to break through the Jazz's defense under the influence of the fanatical Utah fans in the league's famous devil's home court, the "Energy Solution Arena".

The oldest player in the Clippers, Cassel, was fouled by the Jazz and had to go back to the locker room for treatment in the second quarter and did not play again in the second half.

The Utah Jazz have survived these seasons with their superior defense, and they have one of the highest home win percentages in the league, with the Clippers losing their third road game 78-81, a three-point deficit.

The Clippers after losing to the Utah Jazz. has lost four in a row, Hornets, Spurs, Magic, Mavericks, Suns, Jazz these six strong conversations. They only stole one win against the Spurs, who had just experienced back-to-back on the road, and the one-win and four-loss record also gave the team that looked at the Clippers unpleasantly a chance, starting with the big one. Bundan and Da. The two Sabi brothers, the two who have been pretending to be ostriches during the Clippers' ten-game winning streak, can be regarded as breathing a sigh of relief.

However, after the two of them picked up the pen with indescribable excitement, they couldn't fall down, and they found that they suddenly didn't know how to spray the two brothers at this time?

Said the two hit the rookie wall?

This is a fart, the two brothers have a good table in these five games, and if they want to write like this, even they don't believe it.

Say that the two people have a tumor?

Damn it! What if this cancer could be bought? All teams in the league have to fight for the top. The two brothers are going to be in the Lakers or the Knicks. Bundan and Da. Sabi is willing to lick the two of them every day, and it doesn't work to say so.

So they are red spies sent by **, and they came to the United States to specialize in destroying the prosperity and stability of capitalism, as well as the good situation of stability and unity?

However, it is estimated that if you write this, the editor-in-chief will put them directly into the toilet.

This moment is not just about reaching. Bundan and Da. Sabi is thinking about it, and the reporters all over the United States who want to take the opportunity to sing the Clippers are white-headed, and the big guy really doesn't know how to write...... They can't open their eyes and tell nonsense, how can that be?

In the Clippers game against the Mavericks, Ji Guoqiu scored 15 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks, and Ji Guoqiu had 20 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 blocks; In the game against the Suns, Ji Guoqiu scored 18 points, 12 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 blocks, and Ji Guoqiu had 18 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks; In the game against the Jazz, Ji Guoqiu got 10 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks, and Ji Guoqiu got 14 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks.

In these three games, although the Clippers lost all the games, the Los Angeles people's performance on the court is still remarkable, and it can be said that they have not lost the game, especially the two brothers have maintained a steady and efficient play, so that American reporters have no way to start.

After the Clippers lost five in a row, the team's record fell to 22-13, falling from fifth place in the West to eighth place in an instant, and once again the same record as the Denver Nuggets, who were temporarily ranked behind the Nuggets due to the win-loss relationship between the two teams.

In ninth place in the West is the 21-14 Dallas Mavericks, with the Clippers one win ahead of the Mavericks and could be overtaken at any time.

After the Lakers' record was reimbursed by Bynum, it did not fall but rose, which is not unrelated to the fact that they promoted Ariza as the team's starting small forward. Odom mentioned the power forward position, Kobe Bryant continued to show MVP level this season, after the biggest brawl in history, Peter Pan almost exploded on the Indian head, and their record has quietly risen to 24-12, surpassing the Clippers to rank 6th in the West.

The two brothers have now played a full 35 games, and their personal numbers continue to rise, which is why the American media wants to be black and have no way to start.

Ji Guoqiu averaged 14.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 3.0 blocks and 2.8 turnovers per game in 35 games, shooting 55.8% from the field. He shot 89.9 percent from the free-throw line.

Ji Guosha 34 games. He averaged 19.1 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.3 blocks and 2.7 turnovers per game. He shot 48.4 percent from the field, 41.5 percent from three-point range and 90.2 percent from the free throw line.

At this moment, Ji Guoqiu ranks 3rd on the block list and 5th on the rebounding list with an average of 3.0 blocks per game and 11.8 rebounds per game, both of which have entered the top 5.

On the ESPN rookie list, Ji Guoqiu and Ji Guoyi are still ranked first and second, and the third is Kevin. Durant, a supersonic rookie, is also gradually increasing. But the lack of progress allowed him to surpass his twin brothers.

Durant averaged 19.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks per game in 34 games, shooting 42.9% from the field and 29.5% from three-point range.

From time to time, the Los Angeles media has fallen into the trap, ridiculing the SuperSonics new core for being far from competing for the best rookie, but it has the potential to become a new generation of iron kings, with Durant shooting less than 43% from the field. Of course, it can be described as iron, and as for the rookie season, this factor is automatically ignored by them.

The Clippers twins are also in their first season. Why is the hit rate not iron?

On January 20, the Clippers returned to Los Angeles to host the New Jersey Nets back-to-back.

The Clippers were clearly affected by back-to-back games in this game, and by the middle of the regular season, the players were not as full as they were at the beginning of the season, and even the twin brothers were tired in this game, their shooting feel was greatly affected, and their hybrid defense became porous.

The New Jersey Nets are ranked 9th in the East, and their strength can be imagined, even the Clippers, who are only 70% strong, are still inseparable from the New Jersey at home. Kidd's fatal steal and Vince. Carter's last-ditch strike sent both teams into overtime.

Overtime became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the Clippers really didn't have the strength to play overtime with the Nets again, and the players' consecutive missed shots finally made the Clippers lose the game, suffering four consecutive defeats!

The two brothers played a total of 40 minutes in overtime in this game, Ji Guoqiu scored 15 points, 16 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 blocks, and Ji Guoqiu had 19 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.

It is worth mentioning that after the end of this game, the Los Angeles turmoil resumed, and some media revealed that the Clippers planned to use the injured Elton. Brand came to trade Jason, who was already falling out with the Nets. Kyd.

On the same day as this game, according to the New York Post, the New Jersey Nets are actively listening to the teams about the point guard Jason. Kidd's quote. According to one well-informed source, "there's no right opportunity to trade Kidd right now, and the best-case scenario is to sell the deal," in exchange for expiring contracts and draft picks.

The triple-doubles have been unhappy for most of the season, and his request for a contract extension was rejected by the team early in the season, directly directing Kidd to refuse to play in the name of migraines. A team official at the time said Kidd was "on strike." Team manager Thorne also admitted that there is now a lot of talk about Kidd or Vince. Carter or Richard. Jefferson's trade is getting harder and harder, and big contracts are trade killers with no match.

The Los Angeles Times immediately said that the injured Elton of the Clippers. Brand's contract expires next year, and the old captain is very good, so it is not impossible to use a few years in the transition phase of the rebuild, and he can choose not to renew his contract without next year to clear the team's salary space.

It's not impossible to trade injured players in the NBA, it's not a 2K game, and in reality, as long as the contracts match, the contract value of both parties is comparable, and there is no player veto clause, you can trade.

If both team executives are interested in a trade, then Kidd should not object to this deal, everyone knows that the only thing the Clippers are missing right now is an All-Star point guard, and their record is good enough to still be in the top eight in the West with obvious shortcomings, and once they join Kidd as the triple-double king, they will immediately become a real powerhouse.

The Lakers' Kupchak heard the news in his office and knew that the neighbor's deal was very likely to be done, and the Clippers were different from their plans to rob the Grizzlies.

They could have traded Bynum Jr. for Kidd last year, when the Lakers themselves were unwilling, and now the Clippers obviously have a much better trade chip than they did at the beginning. Brand is much better than Bynum even if he is injured, after the Nets trade, you can look at the state of the old captain in the second half of the season and then decide whether to renew the contract next year, even if the old captain's level declines, he only has one year left on his contract, the Clippers have such good trade conditions, how can the Nets, who are eager to trade, not agree?
