Chapter 755 [Fate, Wonderful]
The Clippers won two straight games, back-to-back against the Warriors on Nov. 3.
The Warriors' lineup has changed a lot from Yang Rui's previous life, the core "Splash Brothers", David Lee, who has been selected as an All-Star, potential rookies Harrison Barnes, and Draymond Green are not there, and there are more Brook Lopez, Zach Randolph, and Mike Conley, which are much inferior.
Jeff Hornacek's position is very solid, the "Jerry" coach is currently a golden sign, Warriors owner Lacob will not easily make substitutions, let go of Hornacek, and other teams will definitely grab people.
As expected, the Clippers won easily, with Danny Green, Korver, Curry, and Parsons all coming into play, and the Clippers made 19 three-pointers to seal the win at halftime. The final game was 133-97, another big win.
The Warriors' interior combination is too poor to be fast, and the Warriors management is well aware of this, but they want to trade, but they can't get back a better player.
Curry was voted the best player in the West in his first week, averaging 28 points per game while shooting 71 percent from the field, 60 percent from three-point range and 100 percent from the free throw line. Even though it's only three games, it's amazing enough. If it's this kind of statistic all season, then the game can't be played, and he is the top two.
After several seasons of workout, Curry is getting stronger and stronger, and as long as he doesn't get injured, he can definitely sign a big contract in the summer.
In order to maximize the benefits, Curry did not renew his contract with the team early this summer, but was ready to become a restricted free agent, so that whether the Clippers directly offered him a big contract or matched the offers of other teams, his annual salary would not be less, and it was even possible to get the maximum salary.
In the summer, Curry called Yang Rui for this and asked for his opinion. As long as Yang Rui wants him to renew his contract early, he is willing to agree.
Yang Rui will not deliberately limit Curry's performance in order to reduce his salary and renew his contract, and he does not want Curry to be seriously injured for half a year like in his previous life, if there is no Curry, it will be much more difficult for the Clippers to defend their title. It is also cost-effective for the Clippers to sign a long-term contract with Curry in '13, after all, two years later, big contracts will start flying all over the sky.
Chris Paul is starting to feel the pressure, and the two-guard offensive is strong, but it is not the right way, and he has a hunch that Curry will take his place as the Clippers' core point guard in the future.
Paul is the best pick-and-roll point guard, and he is good at combining point-and-shoot shots. No matter what team he is in, the coach will design him as the tactical foundation of the team. At the Hornets, due to his tactical weighting, the team did not go far. And with the Clippers, Yang Rui strengthened Griffin's high-post play, wing off-ball running, and one-on-one play, making Paul indispensable.
Curry, the new point guard in the run-and-gun era, has blurred the identity of the playmaker and shooter, strengthened the offensive role of the No. 1 position, and made the Clippers offensive difficult to defend. Compared to Paul, Curry has a much shorter time with the ball, but the distance he runs is infinitely longer.
Paul admits that Curry is strong and that his presence makes the Clippers' second team invincible. And Yang Rui has always liked to play fast break and blossom more, and Curry is more in line with his requirements. In contrast, Paul's individual offensive ability is not top-notch.
On the 5th, the Clippers faced the Cavaliers at home, and finally won 127-114, proving who is the strongest team.
James just won the Eastern Conference Player of the Week award, beating the Nets 103-83 last week to also make it three straight wins and a big win.
The two sides launched a fierce attack, and the Clippers were superior. The Cavaliers did a good job, with 13 points being the smallest margin of victory the Clippers have since the start of the season.
James' triple-double of 36 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists blew up forwards such as Gay, Battier, and Parsons, and the Clippers couldn't prevent him from using wheel battles. James, who has practiced his back, has impeccable personal ability and a perfect combination of sudden points and shots.
Wade was equally impressive, finishing with 22 points, two rebounds and five assists on 10-of-14 shooting and 2-of-2 free throws.
Unfortunately, Bosh only had 8 points and 4 rebounds on 2-of-10 shooting; Griffin finished with 31 points, 14 rebounds and four assists on 12-of-18 shooting, 1-of-2 three-pointers and 6-of-8 free throws.
The result of this counterpoint is like Bosh being rubbed and rubbed like Griffin pressing his face to the ground, rubbing, like the pace of the devil......
The two sides competed on the bench, even if Ray Allen led it, the Cavaliers couldn't beat the Clippers bench bandits led by Curry.
Ray Allen is 37 years old, his athleticism has declined a lot, and he mainly relies on shooting to score, and is no longer comprehensive. He shot 4-of-11 from the field, 1-of-2 from three-point range, and had just nine points, three rebounds, one assist, and five fouls. Veteran substitute Grant Hill didn't score a single point.
Hill, who was born in 72 and will be 41 years old next year, has been up and down in the NBA for 19 years. Many people see him as a representative of the "glass man", which makes some sense, because no "glass man" can last until this age. Unfortunately, in the final season of his career, he struggled to win a championship.
The team Hill hopes to join in the summer is the Clippers, but the Clippers are not lacking in a swingman, and Yang Rui cannot let him occupy a spot, because it is too expensive to sign Hill and he has to give up a potential newcomer.
On the 6th, Los Angeles ushered in another big event, Stephen Curry got married.
The wedding was chosen to be held in the middle of the season, because he successfully proposed with a championship ring, and the opener was only delivered.
Curry became one of the few married people on the Clippers, and many of the rising NBA stars lived single, high-rise apartments, luxurious lives, enjoying drinks from waiters in members-only bars, and hanging out with friends in nightclubs, rather than throwing their trash on the side of the road and mowing the lawn like Curry.
Curry loves this kind of plain and warm life, and he never fools around. Unlike those socialite-type football star wives, Curry's wife, Ayesha, is a typical good wife and mother, and for her, family and cooking skills are the most important things.
Fate is wonderful.
Yang Rui has known Ayesha for a long time, but he forgot that this black girl will be Curry's wife, because Ayesha was born and raised in Toronto, and she is a classmate of Nina Dubov, and when she was a child, she asked Yang Rui for an autograph and took a group photo.
Curry also lived in Toronto, as his father, Dell Curry, played for the Raptors.
In 2002, Curry moved his family to Charlotte, and a year later, Ayesha moved there with her family.
Curry and Ayesha met at a church event when they were just young men, Curry was 15 years old and Ayesha was 14 years old. Curry said that the first time they met, he felt just "who is this girl?" Very good. ”
The two have friends in common but attend different high schools, and in 2006, Curry enrolled at Davidson University, where he became an alumnus of Ayesha. In college, the relationship between the two grew rapidly, and eventually a romantic relationship was established. The two first went on a date in Los Angeles when Curry reached out to Ayesha on Facebook to ask if she would have time to accompany him to Los Angeles to attend one of ESPY's awards shows and walk around.
Yang Rui gave Curry an orange Lamborghini as a gift, and no one in the NBA coach could be more generous than him. For him, this kind of thing is not even in the news, because the garage of his villa with many luxury cars is full, and there are two Batmobiles.
It is not news that Yang Rui buys any car, and private jets are usually his means of transportation.
But Curry doesn't think so, he has always had a very good relationship with Yang Rui, and he also likes Los Angeles, even if the Clippers ask him to take a pay cut, he is willing to stay and continue to play.
Yang Rui has tied up a core of the team with sincerity.
