Chapter 144 The curtain of the new season begins

The first day of the training camp shark. O'Neal and Lamar. Odom did not appear, which disappointed the media on the sidelines.

But the first day of the training camp was generally a good start, but Roy. Hibbert seemed a little silent, and Lin Fei felt it. As the leader of the team, he felt the need to talk to Hibbert. Lin Fei understood Hibbert's mood. Last season was still a rookie season, he had a good playing time. Later, he was also selected into the second team of the best rookie lineup, and the off-season Clippers continued to His hands were all inside. In the end, three well-known inside players came in the net. Originally, he was the first substitute in the team's inside, but now he was naturally ranked in the back and felt a little uncomfortable. His agent even asked him and the team to ask for a transfer.

Hibbert's words echoed in his agent's ears, and there was a fierce struggle in his mind, so that he did not realize that Lin Fei had stood beside him at all.

"Roy, what are you thinking about? Do you miss your girlfriend?" Lin Fei patted Hibbert on the shoulder.

In the face of the sudden Lin Fei, Hibbert was obviously shocked and relaxed when he saw that it was Lin Fei. "I didn't think about anything. Maybe I'm a little tired. It should be that I haven't come back from the feeling of vacation." Hibbert felt that this sentence that came out at his last minute was a good reason.

Lin Fei understood from Hibbert's flashing eyes that this sentence was just an excuse, but Lin Fei did not reveal it. He opened the shower beside him in a normal tone, "How was your summer?"

"Well, it's okay, it's pretty good."

"Roy, there is one thing I want you to know. This season, the team has brought Rashid, Shaquille and Lamar. Their arrival will definitely strengthen our strength, but the point is that you will definitely play a little less than last year. Do you have any ideas? You can tell me."

As a rookie, Hibbert is naturally embarrassed to say anything, not to mention that his surname is not extroverted enough.

"Roy, I want to hear your true thoughts. If you don't have any ideas, I won't believe it, but I can tell you that you are the first center in our future, and there is no second choice. Of course, this premise is that you need to do better and maintain continuous progress. Nell and Mike believe that you can do it."

Hibbert was obviously stunned, "Am I the first center of the Clippers in the future?"

"Yes, you are that person. Do you expect Shaquille to fight until he is forty years old? You should know that the center can complete the most basic growth in three years, and this year is your second year. The team has a great opportunity to learn. I believe that with your ability, you can learn a lot from them. If you don't want to wait for the opportunity on the bench, you will play for a limited time in every game. Just tell Nell that you want to leave, but out of personal opinion, I want you to stay. Lin Fei looked straight at Hibbert.

The big boy Hibbert's face became a little red and hot in an instant.

"Well, let me think about it."

The next day, Hibbert let the agent give up the idea of a transfer. During the training, he was like a child who had just entered school, constantly asking O'Neal and Wallace for defense and attack. Wallace and O'Neill are the kind of guys who can really liven up the atmosphere, which directly drives the whole training atmosphere.

Lin Fei stood outside the left three-point line and received O'Neill's pass. Looking at O'Neill on the inside, the man who had ruled the league for many years smiled and jumped out. The feeling was still so outstanding. The basketball crossed an arc and fell into the basket.

"Shaq, it's beautiful." Lin Fei shouted at O'Neal.

"Wow, I'm going to be the team's assist king this season. That's what the assists are." With that, O'Neal picked up the ball and threw it to Lin Fei again. Lin Fei received the ball and threw it without hesitation, and the basketball got into the basket accurately again.

"Lin, three points, an assist from Shaquille, Shaquille is simply a super-large organization defender." O'Neal's trick directly amused everyone.

"Shaq, you robbed me of my job. What should I do? Nell will deduct my salary. I'm poor. Andre. Miller participated with a smile.

After more than half a month of training, the tacit understanding of the new Clippers is getting higher and higher, but it still needs to wait for the test of the game.

On October 7, the Los Angeles Clippers ushered in their new pre-season game. The Clippers will face the challenge of the Atlanta Hawks in a small county below Los Angeles. Countless media have set their eyes on the Los Angeles Lakers.

"New Clippers move forward firmly" - the title of the sports column of the Los Angeles Times.

For two consecutive seasons, the Clippers have been defeated by the powerful Lakers in the playoffs. They are extremely unwilling to lose to their rivals in the same city, but the fact is so cruel. The Clippers, which came back in the off-season, have become the leader in the huge arms race. Look at the lineup. If it is only on paper, he They have become the most powerful competitors in the O'Brien Cup.

Lin Fei: The leader core of the Clippers, with super personal scoring ability, the first and third breakup in the NBA, the All-Star player, his running position and three points are still unsolved. Last season's Lin Fei has shown his defensive ability, and his defense and attack will become more mature in the new season. I look forward to the new game. Ji Lin, what will his data be? Where is his progress? Based on the data of the first two seasons, I expect Lin Fei's average per game in the new season to be 25 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 block and 2 steals. There is no doubt that he is on the road of a superstar.

Shaguire. O'Neill: This former super center and superstar player in this league, everyone thought that the shark was getting old, but last season's shark glowed and became bloodthirsty again in the second spring. Shaq is 37 years old in the new season, and his condition will definitely continue to decline, but for the Clippers with six inside lines, Shaq can Make good use of your playing time to maintain efficiency. I don't think this is a problem for Shaq. It is predicted that Shaq's playing time in the new season will be about 22 minutes, averaging 12 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block per game.

Rashid. Wallace: Roaring Tianzun, one of the top four in the league in the early 21st century, an all-star player. In the off-season, the Celtics launched a vigorous pursuit of Rashid, but in the end, the Clippers became his next home. Rashid's experience will become a huge fortune. Similarly, his playing time will not be too much in 22 minutes left. Right, but I believe that his data will not be too bad. It is worth mentioning that Rashid, who likes to throw three points, will learn more in the company of three-point masters such as Lin Fei, JR Smith. If the three-point shooting rate in the new season is as high as 40%, I won't be surprised. I predict that the new season's data is 10 points, 6 rebounds and 1 block.

Andre. Miller: The traditional organization defender, the former assist king of the league, and the underrated point guard, he was able to deliver 8.8 assists per game for the Clippers last season. His assists may decline in the new season. Why? Because Lin will participate in more organizational attacks, but Andre's lethality is still beyond doubt. The average of 12 points and 8 assists per game in the new season is still his data line.

Lamar. Odom: The former magician's successor made great contributions to the Lakers' championship last season. No one expected that he would leave the Lakers and come to the Clippers and return to the place where his career began. In the new season, he will become the leader of the Clippers bench, and the best sixth person may be his.

Tyson. Chandler: The new season will still be the starting center of the Clippers, and O'Neal will be his substitute. Although it was blown up last season, Tyson is still an efficient defensive player from detailed data analysis. The surface data deceives people's feelings. With stronger teammates in the new season, there is no doubt that Tyson will perform better. .

... Well, after analyzing the players, the advantages and disadvantages of the Clippers are also extremely obvious. This is where the Clippers need to work hard.

Looking at the Clippers, whose lineup is enough to form two starts, they will encounter a serious practical problem, that is, how the players' playing time is allocated, and the mentality of young players. Their opportunities will undoubtedly become less with the arrival of veterans. Not every young person is willing to wait, especially Roy. Hibbert, a recognized potential center in the league, has achieved good results in the rookie season, but there is no doubt that his playing time will be greatly reduced in the new season. Similarly, the arrival of Odom has made the defender have lost a lot of opportunities, all of which requires the efforts of the Clippers.

Finally, I hope that the new express ship will go to the final destination.

The analysis of this column is just right, Mike. Dunleavy and Nell. Orshu does have happy troubles.

In the first scene of the pre-season against the Hawks, the Clippers sent Tyson. Chandler, Rashid Wallace, Artest, Lin Fei, Andre. Miller's five-man starting lineup, followed by O'Neal, Odom and Wilson. Chandler, JR Smith and Chalmers formed the second team, and then conducted various configurations of drills. The situation of the game was not very good, and finally defeated the Eagles with only 5 points.

However, winning or losing is not what the Clippers value. What they hope is that the team can have a perfect chemistry, and the first preseason game is undoubtedly still working hard.

At the end of the seven preseason games, the Clippers only won three games, but the score difference between the four games they lost was all within 10 minutes. The strength of the team's lineup made Mike. Dunleavy's rotation arrangement is very nerve-wounding.

The pre-season game made the Clippers look unsynthesized, which made the Clippers look far less powerful than on paper. At this time, many hostile media directly jumped out and used a variety of data to prove that the strength of the Clippers is the pseudo-strength of the lineup.

Unlike most of the outside world, the training of the Clippers is still full of laughter and looks unaffected at all.

In such an atmosphere, the Los Angeles Clippers ushered in the beginning of the new season. In the first game, they will go away to challenge a strong enemy, the San Antonio Spurs. One of the protagonists of the off-season arms race is Richard, like the Los Angeles Clippers. Jefferson, a prospective All-Star small forward, did not integrate into the team in the preseason, and this game is also one of the three opening games of the new season.

On October 29, 2009, San Antonio, the curtain of the NBA 2009-2010 season slowly opened.
