Chapter 185 The ship sank
Elton Brand has been in the NBA for so long, and his highest scoring record is only 44 points, only twice, but it is no wonder that after all, hand-to-hand combat on the inside is far less convenient than on the outside.
Now the swingers of the front guard are often 50+. In case of a rampage, 60+ is not impossible. The era when more than 40 points can be recorded has long been gone.
From the post-Jordan era, O'Neal has been the top scorer in the 99-00 season, and his average score is only 29.7 points per game, which is not shocking.
In addition to O'Neal, who is rarely an opponent under the basket, Iverson, McGrady and Kobe are divided into the titles of top scorers, averaging 30+ per game. In their eyes, it's really a piece of work.
No matter how fierce and sharp O'Neal was in those years, if he really wanted to score, he would have to retreat in front of the swinger. After all, that group of animals is the standard scoring machine.
This is not an era when the inside line should survive, but anyone who can average 20 points per game is either the kind of pitcher who can't get into the basket on the outside line, or a tough player like Brand who can score with a middle shot.
Brand is not O'Neal. He is not so lethal. All he can rely on is his accurate mid-range jump shot. Without such a conventional weapon, his attack will be reduced.
After all, he is 2.06 meters tall. If he only has weight, he is not a big threat from the basket. This guy is not a spring man. If he wants to rely on his physical quality to eat the other party, it may not work.
So Brand developed the weapon of mid-range jump shot, that is, with such a stable scoring method, he can ensure 20+10 data every season and get a big contract by the way.
Stable performance is Brand's advantage. Even when the team is in a downturn, he can contribute two pairs of data steadily. Even if he can't save the failure, he can at least make this game better.
But at the core of a team, his role should be far from making the game better. He should learn how to rob the victory, instead of being satisfied with his own two pairs of data.
He scored 28 points in three and a half quarters, which was much higher than Brand's average, but this statistic did not make Brand's performance so satisfactory, and even he always frowned on the bench.
Even the towel on his shoulder fell on the floor and didn't let Brand move more. He always lowered his head and muffled, as if everyone owed him a lot of money.
Score 28 points, but there are less than five minutes left in the game. Looking at the score on the court, it is estimated that it is not only Brand who is not satisfied. Old Dunleavy has already thrown the suit on the ground angrily.
For this reason, old Dunleavy was also blown a technical foul by the referee. If it hadn't been for the referee's mercy, the old guy would have gone back to the locker room to calm down.
There is no reason why old Dunleavy is so popular. The game is not over yet, but his team is 15 points behind the other team. At this time, it is rare for old Dunleavy to guarantee that he will not scold the street.
Fifteen points! If such a gap is replaced by the Spurs or the Mavericks, maybe Old Dunleavy can calm down, but looking at the Celtics in front of him, he can't keep calm.
In fact, when the first quarter of the game was played at 30:30, old Dunleavy felt that things were not very good. Later, he was also a substitution of troops and generals, but the effect was minimal, and even seemed very passive for a while.
From the beginning of the second quarter, the whole situation was a little out of control. Old Dunleavy shouted at least three suspensions but failed to contain the team's landslide. He even began to roar.
This is difficult to see in the previous games, but the old Dunleavy's roar can only be exchanged for more mistakes and more bad choices for the players. Anyway, that good state seems to disappear in an instant.
It is estimated that when old Dunleavy first arrived in Boston, he certainly didn't expect the game to be like this. He thought that even if this trip to the east was a little troublesome, he would not run into a wall in Boston.
But it was such a place that he didn't see. It was a heavy blow at the head. The chance of winning streak that the Clippers had just played was dragged down by these guys, and they were beaten indiscriminately.
This completely made the old Dunleavy and the Clippers players unable to find the north. It's not that they haven't met a tough opponent, but they didn't expect that there would be a group of tougher animals in Boston.
No matter how old Deng Levy changes people and how to adjust his tactics, Rivers's side is to play with constant change. If you like to change, I'll attack a little bit, and we'll see you under the basket. I won't play other playing methods.
Rivers's way of playing is purely to slap the old Dunleavy's face. Originally, the old guy planned to defeat the Celtics from the inside, but it turned out to be good. He had nothing to do, but he was overturned.
Brand can sit on the sidelines so depressedly, not because of this guy's physical problems, but because the referee signaled to him a minute ago. He has fouled five times. Go down and have a rest.
The same is true in the second quarter. As soon as Brand wanted to score, he had fouled three times.
This made old Dunleavy very melancholy. He had to start adjusting his internal layout, but without Brand, no matter how tactics are arranged, the gaps in the inside are major loopholes.
And the Celtics frantically tore the confidence of the Clippers from this gap, and even the DJs on the scene were making fun of the Los Angelesers, "The Clippers seem to be sunk by our Celtics."
Although this is a joke, it sounds so realistic and harsh, because the sad Clippers are really about to sink these animals, at least it is a little shaky now.
Although the score is behind, Old Dunleavy really can't think of any good way to solve it. Even if Brand can only go back to the bench, he will bear it. This game can't be reversed by one person.
No one could have thought of the overall suppression before the game. After all, according to the old Dunleavy's game in the East, only the Pistons may be a big threat to them. In addition, the rest of the teams may not guarantee that they will beat the Clippers. Anyway, the Clippers are now the top eight in the West. Team.
It's worse than last year's results, but where is the foundation? Even if it's bad, no one can bully them. What's more, the inside line of the Eastern team is still weaker in the West.
At least before the start of the game, old Dunleavy thought so, but when the game started, his idea was immediately thrown out of the sky, inside? The inside line of the Celtics is so tough that it makes people afraid.
There's nothing we can do. The Celtics have gone crazy, especially the inside. It's like a group of locusts raging!
Brand got 28 points, but old Dunleavy really wanted to roar. Damn it, Elton got 28 points, but the bald animal has already got 30 points! And he also took 15 rebounds! 5 blocks!
Brand, who stayed on the sidelines, was so depressed not because he scored two points less than Chen Feng, but because he was robbed by Chen Feng on the rebound. In almost 40 minutes, he got 6 rebounds!
This is the situation! Old Deng Liwei really wants to drag someone over to ask if he is dreaming, and he is a very tormenting nightmare!
Old Dunleavy wanted to roar, and Brand wanted more. He was sitting on the bench at this moment, listening to the shouts of those Boston fans, which was as harsh as a needle.
The most important thing is that his teacher, Coach K, is sitting not far away. Will his performance on the court disappoint him? Born at Duke University, it was originally Brand's pride, but now this pride has been shattered by a barbarous and arrogant boy, and it's all broken!
As the coach of the Dream Team, Old K can come to Boston. Although I didn't say it clearly, it's just to see how Brand is in shape. Maybe it doesn't matter to get into the Dream Team.
But being able to play under your own teacher has absolutely different meanings. What's more, this year's Dream Team has declared that it must form the strongest team, and big stars will also join.
Like Kobe, James, Wade, this fierce person will go, and no one wants to join in the fun. At least these guys are there. The exposure must be guaranteed, and it's good to get some light.
So Brand also plans to enter the Dream Team, but he has to go through everything. After all, in the inside position, he still has competitors. He must show good form, and old K is better.
But today's situation is in front of him. If old K can give him any promise, he will go to hell.
Old K has always had no expression on his side, but when he saw the champion Xiu he taught so ** with his own eyes, I guess it was not a good feeling. Most importantly, Lao K saw Takanian.
Why did the old fox come? Now Lao K doesn't know, but he saw Chen Feng running to the sidelines and high-five Takani to celebrate in the first quarter. That relationship is definitely not the interaction between players and fans.
"Students? Or something else?" Lao K's head is also confused. After all, in the face of such a sudden character, he, the old world, can't figure out the details of the other party.
At least in the circle of college basketball, Lao K dares to say that he is an old fried dough stick. There is absolutely no information about No. 99. As for the relationship between Chen Feng and Takanian, he is also speculating.
Things off the court can't affect the inside of the court. What does Lao K think? He won't let Chen Feng stop the raging footsteps. When the whistle of the whole game sounded, this guy had already soared his data to 19 rebounds!
30 points, 19 rebounds, 5 blocks, 1 assist, 1 steal. No matter who is in front of this data, it will make people look sideways. What's more, Chen Feng's tough shape is even more eye-catching.
The Clippers have resisted desperately, but the result they got was the failure of 102:83. Their fast ship, which has been sailing smoothly in the east, was completely sunk this time...
When someone interviewed Lao K, the old guy left a sentence before he left, "Chen Feng is also within the scope of my investigation." No one knows whether what he said is true or not, but this sentence caused a lot of shock.
It's not known what other people's reaction is, but Takanienian is now ready to point at Lao K's nose and scold the street. "Fuck, I've worked hard to cultivate it. Are you going to take it away with a sentence? Think beautifully!"
As for Chen Feng, the boy's current idea is how to get out of the group of reporters around him, instead of thinking about the dream team.
Dream Team? Damn, does it matter for me to put on clothes? Your sister! Can these unscrupulous female reporters stop their despicable actions!!!
