Chapter 821 [No. 1 in the Alliance, First Round Rival]

Yang Rui's explanation made Griffin lose his temper, the reason is too simple, he doesn't look at the player's fame, whoever is efficient should shoot more, and the person who is accurate for three points is of course more efficient than the person who scores two points.

The Clippers have three outside players who shoot more than 40% from three-point range, and the other two are mainly off-ball, and Griffin only overlaps with Curry.

The Clippers are strong, relying on overall efficiency, and it is by no means a player's luxurious data. Like the kind of team with an efficiency value of 30 players who have the privilege of being the core and shooting endlessly, no matter how beautiful the star data is, the record will definitely be at the bottom.

After talking to Yang Rui, Griffin began to think about a question, whether to stay with the Clippers and win more championships as a second leader, or go to other teams to be the boss and prove that he can become the strongest player?

If Griffin had spoken out his doubts, Yang Rui would have told him that he was thinking too much. James is known as the No. 1 in the league in individual ability, and he has to form a team to compete for the championship, Griffin's strength is not as good as James, and there are no two giants around him to cooperate to win the championship?

In March, the Clippers continued their spurt to lead the record standings, slaughtering the Pelicans 123-78, the Lakers 145-94 and the Bucks 136-91.

How unfortunate are the Lakers as the Clippers' opponents in the same district? Playing four games a season, their defense is terrible, conceding 132 points against the Pelicans, an average of 111.7 points per game.

The Clippers have lost just one game this month, losing to the Kings on the road, their ninth loss of the season, and the Kings have become the only team in the league to win two games against the Clippers.

Many people have discovered that the Kings lineup restrained the Clippers, Cousins was able to single out Chandler, and Irving and Isaiah Thomas were super capable of breaking through, without covering, and it was not easy to defend directly.

The Clippers' weakness this year is the lack of speed guards, and it is difficult to defend against guards like Thomas, Barria, and Tylawson; Curry and Livingston have a height advantage when they play smaller, and it depends on who plays better.

In early April, the Clippers lost again, losing to the Rockets on the road.

Harden finally played the Clippers with a commanding performance, not only did he close the writing wheel, but he also had a convulsion on the offensive end, shooting 14-of-29, 7-of-13 three-pointers, and 11-of-12 free throws, scoring 46 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.

Jeremy Lin also performed well in this Rockets, scoring 17 points and 5 assists, but he has been completely reduced to a substitute in the Rockets, and he can't compete with the defensive "mad dog" Beverley.

The Clippers' outside players couldn't prevent Harden's change of step back, and Griffin and Chandler were repeatedly reversed.

In the final quarter, Harden forced a breakthrough through Draymond Green, who was switched to the guard, and accidentally hit the key position, and the nightclub owners who watched were nervous, but fortunately he was fine.

Yang Rui hurriedly replaced Draymond for ideological education, he let Draymond go on the court to strengthen the defense, especially the defense of blocking and dismantling, not to let him go up to "chase eggs", Yang Rui does not want his players to go down an evil path.

After Draymond went off the court, Harden continued his wonderful performance, eventually leading the team to a 118-112 victory.

The Clippers had a chance to go into overtime or overtake, and in 15.2 seconds, Curry made a key attack to attract the bag and then passed the ball to Danny Green in the bottom corner, which was too casual and didn't play well, and passed directly out of the sideline......

On April 16, the Clippers lost 108-114 to the Trail Blazers in the finale.

In this game, the Clippers released the water, the ranking has been determined, Yang Rui let the core collective rest, gave the benches a lot of playing time, and the absolute fringe man Aaron Crabbe played 15 minutes and got 7 points and 2 rebounds.

The interior combination of Faried, Draymond Green, and Thackeray didn't suffer a loss against the Trail Blazers. Draymond played to his strengths, pushing Aldridge outside the box all over the court, making it difficult for him to turn around and his shooting percentage dropped.

The Clippers lost in the swingman position, Batum and Matthews both played well, and Guy and Danny Green did not play.

In the end, the Clippers ranked first in the league with 71 wins and 11 losses, and once again achieved 70+ wins. Yang Rui continued to expand his single-season record of 70+ wins.

The Spurs are second in the West and second in the league with 62 wins.

The 3-8 places in the West are the Mavericks, Thunder, Warriors, Rockets, Suns, and Kings.

The Trail Blazers won in the final round and still failed to make the playoffs, just one game behind the 44-winning Kings and in ninth place.

10-15 are the Grizzlies, Nuggets, Timberwolves, Pelicans, Lakers, Jazz.

The Eastern Nets are first with 61 wins, the Pacers are second with 54 wins, the Cavaliers are third with only 50 wins, and the Wizards are fourth with 48 wins, with first-round home-court advantage.

5-8 are the Pistons, Hornets, Magic, and Heat.

Unlike Yang Rui's previous life, the Magic team rose quickly after trading Howard, and Noah and Vucevic worked well together, complementing each other offensively and defensively. The team also has players with a balance of offense and defense, such as Oladipo, Afflaro, and Tobias Harris, but Nelson has weaknesses in the No. 1 position.

The Magic can enter the playoffs, and it is also related to the poor strength of other teams, the Magic and the Heat have only achieved less than half of the winning rate, and the East is a weak team except for the top four, and the team has no overwhelming advantage in the playoffs.

Experts believe that there is no suspense in the Eastern Conference playoffs, and eighty percent of the Nets will advance to the finals. The Pacers had a chance to compete with the Nets, but their record slipped a lot in the second half of the season due to infighting.

According to sources, the Pacers' infighting erupted because Paul George and Hibbert had a three-person fight with a woman, got into a confrontation, and eventually turned faces.

Beginning in March, the Pacers suddenly fell into a slump and the conflict became public, with Hibbert blasting his teammates for selfishness to the media and pointing the finger at the team's number one star, George. It is said that they don't bother to look at each other, let alone pass the ball to each other on the field. If the conflict between the two continues, it will be quite detrimental to the Pacers.

You know, George is the Pacers' number one attacker, while Hibbert is the Pacers' "high circle...... Well, even if they were brothers and sisters, it would be difficult to beat the Nets by working together.

The 9-15 in the East are the Raptors, Bucks, 76ers, Celtics, Knicks, Hawks, and Bulls.

The current lineup of the Bulls is unrecognizable compared to Yang Rui's previous life, and the coach is no longer Tom Thibodeau, the only thing that has not changed is the glass man Derrick Rose is still playing a good show of reimbursement.

The regular season statistics were released, and Durant averaged 32 points per game to win the scoring title.

Grizzlies center DeAndre Jordan won the rebounding title, averaging 13.6 per game.

Wizards point guard John Wall won the assist title, averaging 9.3 per game.

Paul is ranked second, and his stats have dropped since joining the Mavericks, averaging 18.3 points and 9 assists per game, which is related to the team's overall slow pace.

The block king is Anthony Davis of the Pelicans, averaging 2.8 per game.

The steal king is Paul, who is the Mavericks, averaging 2.4 per game.

No one in the Clippers has won the single data king, Yang Rui hopes that Curry can win a scoring title, but this season Curry's strength has not reached its peak, and he often feels cold and does not score 20 points, and in 33.6 minutes of playing time, he can score 24.4 points is already good.

The playoffs are about to begin, and experts are predicting the first round, and they are not sure whether Yang Rui will be able to lead the team to continue the habit of sweeping in the first round, and the Clippers lost to the Kings twice in the regular season.

The Kings have a poor defense and have lost to weak teams many times, but once they are drawn on the offensive end, no one can stop them, so they have also beaten the Clippers, Spurs, and Nets in the regular season.

Of course, there is not a single one who is optimistic about the Kings to advance, and the suspense is how much trouble they can cause the Clippers.
