NBA: No. 1 Forward

Chapter 288: Cousins ??out of balance

Popular recommendation:

The Clippers are very weak, how weak is it? Let’s just describe it this way. Since the start of the game, they have achieved a record of 1 win and 12 losses in 13 games. They are currently ranked first in the bottom of the Western Conference. The only thing they beat was the Oklahoma City Thunder. In that game, Griffin won By 16 points and 17 rebounds, the Thunder's inside line was completely blown away.

In that game, the Thunder's three young players all felt very poor, and their shooting percentage was pitifully low. In the end, they lost 107:92 at home to the Clippers.

The Clippers and the Lakers belong to Los Angeles, but the Clippers fans can’t see the hope of the team’s rise. The only consolation in their hearts is that Griffin is not the second place in the parallel imports. After returning from injury, Griffin performed very well. In the blink of an eye, dunks flying into the sky and escaping from the ground are staged at every turn.

The peak performance of Lian Dao's debut last season directly broke up the coaching staff and team management of the Los Angeles Clippers. Since the start of this season, the team's record has made the head coach and general manager who have just taken office feel that they are in a good position. And dangerous.

Lian Dao broke out in three consecutive games. Even with 96 physical fitness, he can't support it now. His state in this game is relatively average. However, after Stoudemire's weakness in the first two games, this game also ushered in an explosion. Soon, Lian Dao finally discovered the benefits of having a strong teammate. At least he didn't have to exert all his energy in every game.

No matter how good the body is, if the body is in a high-load game state for a long time, there will be hidden dangers of injury. If you can win the game while retaining some physical fitness, you need the help of your teammates.

The tacit understanding of the Knicks' plastic surgery is also constantly improved with each victory. Winning is the fastest and most effective way to improve the team's chemical reaction, especially the relationship between Lian Dao and Stoudemire is getting better and better. During this period, Stoudemire also invited Lian Dao to join his new home team in New York, and the relationship between the two also began to move closer from teammates to "friends".

Of course, this kind of friendship is more about the cooperation of players, which is far inferior to the friendship between Lian Dao and Demar, even the relationship between Lian Dao and Holiday.

In fact, the workplace is like this. You may not be good friends with every colleague, but you can at least become superficial friends under a winning streak.

Conversely, if you lose consecutively, it is also the most important factor affecting the unity of the team. No one can maintain a good mood during a losing streak. The pressure of losing streak will cause a lot of problems in a team, and even internal conflicts from time to time.

The OK combination of Kobe and O'Neal was disbanded back then. Although the two had a long-standing grudge, if it hadn't been for the 1:4 elimination by the Pistons in the 2004 Finals, these problems would not have erupted instantly. If the champion of that year was the Los Angeles Lakers, They are likely to maintain the original lineup, and then hit the next three consecutive championships.

Sometimes victory can cover up together, while failure will make people criticize each other.

Lian Dao has been trying different styles and rhythms in recent games. When his teammates are in good condition, he chooses to play off the ball or connect with teammates, although the statistics will decline compared to last season. , but can allow the team to win the game.

This was the case in this game. His teammates were in excellent condition in the first half. Lian Dao made more use of his own advantages to link up with his teammates or attract double-teams to create opportunities for his teammates. At the end of the half, Lian Dao also got good statistics.

The only player on the perimeter of the Clippers who can make a good shot is Eric Gordon. The 31-year-old Baron Davis is no longer in the state of the Warriors' black eight miracle period, and he is still in this game. In an unhealed state.

Eric Gordon is a player with strong offense and weak defense, but this game was taken care of by Tony Allen. Not only Eric Gordon, but the entire Clippers' defense is at the bottom of the league, although they have Griffin and Chris Kaman inside.

Although Griffin was able to score 22+12 on the offensive end, he did not prove himself on the defensive end. As for Chris Kaman's defensive end, he can only be described as diligent and diligent. His slow defensive pace has made him a The burden on the Clippers' defensive end.

In the future, Jordan, the defensive gate of the Clippers inside, is still growing.

If it weren't for consecutive back-to-back games, with the Knicks' current lineup, it would be easy to kill the Clippers.

Although Lian Dao only took 8 shots in the first half, he hit 6 goals, including two three-pointers. It can be said that the efficiency is amazing, and he sent 12 assists in the first half.

So far, Lian Dao has shot 56% from the field, 45% from three-point range and 95% from free throws. According to this state, Lian Dao is likely to enter the "180 club" this season.

Stoudemire and Griffin had a mutual explosion in the first half. Stoudemire scored 18 points and 8 rebounds at the end of the first half, and Griffin scored 20 points and 9 rebounds. In the mutual explosion, Griffin turned out to have the upper hand.

Griffin's body is indeed very explosive, especially his jumping, and he can perform flying dunks at every turn. If his flaw is said, it is his wingspan. He is 208 tall, but his wingspan is only 211. This is why Griffin One of the reasons why the defense is not very good.

Griffin is a dunker of the school of violent aesthetics. If he has a wingspan of about 2.20 meters, his dunk will be more stretched.

But even so, Griffin's performance still makes fans hooked in terms of viewing! Therefore, although the record of the Clippers is extremely poor, the attendance rate at home is not bad. In each game, Griffin performed several stunning dunks on the court.

In the last few games, Cousins ??has played as a starter, and his recent performance is still very good, but today's performance was suppressed by Griffin, and there were some conflicts on the field in the second quarter.

In the second quarter, the Clippers' small forward Ryan Gomez shot from the outside, but was interfered by Lian Dao, and the shot went wide. Griffin rose from behind Cousins, and actually overwhelmed Cousins, who also exploded. Adams dunks the basketball into the basket.

Playing back in slow motion, the ball was a dunk from another person.

The humiliation of dunking this time caused the grumpy Cousins ??to lose his mental balance. He turned around and slapped Griffin away. Fortunately, the Knicks caught Cousins ??in time.

However, he also received the first technical foul of the field.

"DeMarcus, if you don't have the strength to fight back, just control your **** emotions!" Lian Dao was also very annoyed by Cousins' lack of calmness.

Lian Dao prefers to talk with the ball, if the opponent dunks you, you can counterattack in the same way in the next round, even if your strength permits, you can continue to counterattack and push, which only shows that you can't afford to lose~www.mtlnovel. com~ This kind of unnecessary foul is very unwise for Lian Dao. It's okay in the regular season now, but what about the playoffs? More intense confrontation, endless trash talk, all kinds of small moves, will you be sent off every game?

Historically, Cousins ??hates Chris Paul the most. One of the reasons is that Paul plays dirty and has endless tricks. Paul likes to target the grumpy Cousins, flopping again and again, making Cousins Offensive foul.

Lian Dao doesn't want Cousins ??to be targeted by the opponent in the playoffs, so now he has to demand more from the opponent.

Cousins ??saw that Lian Dao was angry, so he was honest and kept his head down, obediently, without complaining.

Cousins ??is only afraid of two people in the Knicks, one is Lian Dao, who blows himself up, and the other is Rasheed Wallace, who likes to train himself late at night. Although he is afraid, in Cousins' heart More is respect.

Lian Dao and Rashid gave Cousins ??a lot of help on and off the court, and this honest and honest boy will always be remembered in his heart.

After the start of the second half, Lian Dao faked a pass from outside and hung the ball to the right side of the basket, but Griffin was tricked by Lian Dao. He thought Lian Dao was shooting, so he wanted to go to the basket to protect the rebound Ball action.

However, after these few games of cooperation, Cousins ??and Lian Dao also developed some tacit understanding. I saw him rising from the right side of the basket, with a weight of 132.4 kg coupled with a strong bounce, and a wingspan of 228. He could easily receive a pass over Griffin's head, and then he made a thunderous dunk. Griffin fell to the ground as if hit by a locomotive, and slid two or three meters away.
