On the 22nd, the Clippers lost 104-111 to the Raptors away.

In Paul's absence, some hidden dangers still showed, and Curry's single defense ability was much worse. Curry's defense will improve in the future, but now he is not good for hardcore fans, and generally Yang Rui will arrange him to deal with the weakest offensive outside line on the court, if the opponent's two guards can attack with the ball, they can't arrange a double-guard tactic.

Curry had a very feared point guard in the early stages of his career, and that was Brandon Jennings of the Raptors.

Jennings is a shooting inconsistent, break-through guard, who is incredibly fast, skilled with the ball, good at singles, and has a style that restrains Curry.

In the NBA, there is such a group of players who once amazed fans, but after all, they were just a flash in the pan, such as "James Emperor" Jennings, "Volute" Norris Kerr, "Hard" Split, etc., are typical examples of high and low walking.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Curry was completely heaven and earth compared to Jennings in his rookie season, and everyone looked forward to whose future was more brilliant, and most people would choose Jennings.

Because Jennings had a quasi-triple-double of 17 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists in his debut, against the Warriors, Jennings scored a career-high 55 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, including 29 points in the third quarter to lead the Bucks to a 129-125 victory.

With this game, Jennings surpassed James to become the youngest rookie in NBA history to score more than 50 points, the rookie with the most points in a single quarter in NBA history, and the rookie with the highest single-game score in Bucks history.

It's a pity that the youngest 50+ became Jennings' first and last label to be remembered, and then he was remembered for his brainless remarks.

In 2013, Jennings met James' Heat in the playoffs, and proudly said "send the Heat home in six games", which became a famous laughing stock in the NBA. The ending was a 4-0 sweep of the Bucks, and he shot a total of 57 and 40 irons in four games.

In 2014, Jennings expressed his opinion and opinion on the topic of "the 50 biggest stars of NBA history", and many experts at that time thought that Wade should be added to the top 50, but he disagreed, believing that Wade was not eligible for selection at all, because Reggie Miller, Ray Allen and Joe Dumas were not selected.

He has also publicly stated on several occasions that he is better than Wade and slightly worse than Kobe, that is, he is on par with Ellis.

In 2017, Jennings joined the Shanxi team of China's CBA and became a CBA teammate.

Jennings mixed even worse in this life, joined the Raptors to assist Carter, didn't have so many shots, and didn't play a 50+ horror show, but this time he had a convulsion against Curry, shooting 10 of 16, 6 of 11 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and cutting 31 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists.

Curry shot 7-of-18, 2-of-6 from three-point range, and didn't make free throws, finishing with just 16 points, 2 rebounds and 10 assists.

Carter also had a strong performance, finishing with 24 points, five rebounds and five assists on 8-of-14 shooting, 4-of-7 three-pointers and 4-of-4 free throws. This season, Carter has cut down on the ball and is happy to help the youngsters grow.

The interior core of the Raptors is Yang Rui who led Paul Millsap, who only scored 13 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists, with average statistics, but Griffin, who defended it, also scored only 14 points.

Millsap is short and has a lot of strength, and Griffin, who can resist, is not easy to turn, he has the strength to be an All-Star, and his role on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends has been recognized.

This is only the second loss of the Clippers, and the record list is still leading, so Yang Rui is in a good mood, and the players can accept this result calmly.

After the game, Yang Rui praised Carter. "He's a great star, he can still fly, he just loosens up a little bit of defense against him and he's going to shoot three points easily, he's got a wonderful rhythm and it's like dancing on the court, and I'm definitely going to vote for him as an All-Star this season."

Carter averaged only 15.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3 assists per game, shooting 45.3% from the field and 36% from three-point range, but he did have a chance to be selected for the All-Star Game.

Back at home on the 23rd, the Clippers had back-to-back games again, and the opponent was the Lakers in the same city.

Yang Rui arranged for the players to take a vacation to recover their strength, but in the morning called Curry to rehearse at home, and before the game began, they had a two-person fashion Tai Chi performance, because today is a special day - Chinese New Year!

The core of the sports industry, BA's skillful marketing methods, are all about playing the emotional card to Chinese fans during the Spring Festival.

With the gradual awakening of China's sports industry and sports culture, European and American football and basketball giants pay more and more attention to the promotion and development of the Chinese market.

Last year, the Clippers players used the Chinese language taught by Yang Rui to greet Chinese fans together, and each of them said a word, and they could still connect.

This year, Yang Rui is ready to show Chinese kung fu, and the person who is most interested in Chinese culture among the players is Curry, and only Curry is willing to practice Tai Chi with him, so he will form a team.

From the beginning of the training camp to the present, the two have practiced for a month and have a very tacit understanding.

After playing a set, Curry asked excitedly: "Am I a master now?" If I fight with someone, how many can I fight? ”

"You can't hit someone, but you'll be able to make it very durable, at least you won't suffocate when someone puts a scissor foot around your neck." Scarlett clung to the stroller and chimed in with a smile.

Scarlett caught a glimpse of Yang Rui's eyebrows and Colin Farrell, and added, "I'm not going to tell you how I know this." ”

Curry blinked and smiled, he had watched "Iron Man 2", and the scene was very embarrassing for a while.

In the evening, the performance of the two was very successful, they appeared in white traditional Tai Chi practice uniforms, and their kung fu skills were in good shape, which won the applause of the fans.

After playing a set of punches with the music, the two were interviewed by reporters.

"Tai Chi relieves me of physical and mental stress," Curry said. It's like martial arts and dance, and you might be short of breath when you practice, which shows that your body is building up energy, and I like that feeling. ”

Yang Rui said: "Tai Chi makes people energetic and allows people to achieve the state of physical and mental unity. It's not the moves that matter, it's the cultivation. It is not only martial arts, but also fitness and health preservation, not practicing boxing to cure all diseases, immortality, but it has a certain effect on some chronic diseases. ”

This game was broadcast live on CCTV5, and Yang Rui promoted Chinese culture, which made the fans who watched the game during the New Year very happy.

Many people think that Curry is going to be on top because he has the best relationship with Yang Rui in the team.

After the game began, it was almost a copy of the game, the Clippers relied on the perimeter cover, received the ball from the outside and shot, Griffin and Chandler opened the situation and quickly took the lead.

The Lakers pulled away, and Lefu went outside the three-point line on the right side, and Gasol went in the middle to make room for the low post. Nash dribbled the ball past halftime and handed it to Kobe Bryant to go head-to-head, and the Clippers were marked.

Kobe Bryant singled out Tony Allen, Gay, and Battier all scored, but failed to attract the bag and drive the whole team, and the role players were all targeted, unable to catch the ball and shoot easily, and stood on the perimeter to watch Kobe Bryant's performance.

Kobe Bryant's shooting percentage in this game was not as good as in the first game between the two sides, shooting 13 of 30, shooting 43.3%, 2 of 8 three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, and scoring 34 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

The Lakers had four double-doubles, with Rohr Deng, Love, and Pau Gasol all scoring in the early 10s, and Nash shooting 2-of-5 from the field, 2-of-4 from three-point range, and no free throws, with only 6 points and 7 assists.

109-81, without Paul Clippers beat the Lakers again, three 20+.

The two teams are strong and weak, and the Lakers role players can share the pot. 10
