Chapter 153 The Second Guard in the West!
After losing to the Heat, the Clippers continued to fight, but this time Lu Yi finally got a chance to rest.
On January 1, the Clippers were a guest in Oakland while Lu Yi was resting.
打得还可以，靠着艾弗森16投9中，三分3投1中，罚球4投3中砍下22分。
布泽尔15投9中，罚球4投2中砍下20分。
以及戈登14投6中，三分6投3中，罚球6投5中，砍下20分。
A total of three scored 20+, and finally won the Golden State Warriors.
When the time came to January 1, the Clippers returned to their home stadium, the Staples Center. This time, Iverson and Boozer were rested, but Lu Yi did not continue the rest, but led the team to play.
Relying on Lu Yi made 24 of 19 shots, 5 of 4 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 45 points with extremely high efficiency, the Clippers won another victory with ease.
On January 1th, Gordon and Trevor Ariza rested one after another, and Iverson and Boozer returned.
111 to 126, this home game is not difficult, the Clippers won the final victory by 15 points.
On January 1, the full lineup of the Clippers played back-to-back away games against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Although the Blazers are one of the Western Conference playoff teams, the healthy Blazers are not the Clippers' opponents, let alone the Blazers who are absent from Roy's injury.
As the top team in the West, Maucai is still very stable.
靠着卢易22投13中，三分11投7中，罚球3投2中，砍下35分。
以及布泽尔18投10中，罚球12投10中，砍下30分。
The Clippers once again defeated the Blazers in the regular season with a score of 108 to 93.
After playing the Trail Blazers, the Clippers returned to Los Angeles overnight to prepare for the next game against the Golden State Warriors.
109 to 113, if it weren't for the Clippers' main force to check in in three quarters, the Warriors would have no way to narrow the point difference in the fourth quarter, and it seems that there is still hope of winning.
But in the end the Clippers won, so there's nothing wrong with that.
Time soon came to January 1th, the Clippers were a guest in Dallas, not wanting to suffer another defeat.
Today's Tyson Chandler incarnates O'Neal, taking whatever he wants inside the Clippers.
Unlike the usual cake scoring, today's Tyson Chandler made 7 of 7 shots from the basket and 11 of 11 free throws.
This kind of free throw percentage is not O'Neal at all, but the scoring efficiency is definitely at the level of the peak O'Neal.
He scored 12 points in 25 ball possessions. Even when Lu Yi felt good, it was difficult to achieve such efficiency.
Among the Mavericks starting lineup, in addition to Tyson Chandler, the Mavericks and Dirk Nowitzki made 14 of 6 shots, 5 of 2 three-pointers, 8 of 6 free throws and scored 20 points.
In addition, the bench lineup, Jason Terry and Jose Barea are also crazy.
分别22投11中，三分7投4中，罚球2投2中砍下28分。
12投9中，三分4投3中，罚球4投4中，砍下25分。
The four Mavericks scored 20+, and the efficiency is not low. The Clippers can only hope that all members are in good condition if they want to win.
However, even Lu Yi made 27 of 13 shots, 11 of 6 three-pointers, 3 of 2 free throws, and scored 34 points.
Only Iverson and Boozer scored in double figures, and Lu Yi couldn't support it alone. The Clippers eventually lost to the Mavericks, 105 to 114, and lost the game by a total of 9 points.
Under the overall situation where the West is strong and the East is weak, the Clippers want to keep winning streak in the West, which is not very likely.
After losing to the Mavericks, the Clippers had nothing to say. They were not in good shape and their skills were not as good as others. They could only let go of their mood and continue their road trip.
On January 1, the Clippers arrived in Houston in back-to-back away games.
Relying on an excellent lineup and a deep bench, the Clippers' main force clocked in three quarters, and finally won the game with a 96-point advantage of 83 to 13.
After playing the mosaic, the Clippers returned to Los Angeles, and then on January 1, they faced the Charlotte Bobcats.
The Clippers have an advantage in playing the Bobcats, not to mention that this game is more difficult for the Bobcats back-to-back.
88 to 103, the dominant Clippers won the Bobcats effortlessly.
Immediately after January 1, the Clippers continued to sit at home to welcome the Bucks to challenge.
To abuse food, the Clippers are very stable. Lu Yi and other Clippers' main players once again clocked in three quarters and easily won the game.
After playing the game in January, there is not much time until the All-Star Weekend in mid-February.
The results of the fourth round of voting for the All-Stars have been announced, and Lu Yi is the second guard in the Western Conference with 208 million votes.
Kobe, on the other hand, won 238 million votes. Not only was he successfully elected as the No. [-] guard in the Western Conference, but he also became the Western All-Star vote king, and this year's All-Star vote king.
It has to be said that the grouping of the Heat's Big Three has indeed had a certain impact on the reputation of the three.
James has won three Eastern Conference All-Star votes before, but this year he only has 200 million votes, which is still under Howard.
Not only James, Wade, Bosh's All-Star votes also dropped sharply.
As the top [-] superstars in the league, Bosh was not even selected as the Eastern All-Star starting forward.
Of course, there aren't many All-Star forwards in the Eastern Conference this year. Bosh's selection as a substitute for this year's All-Star is quite interesting.
Time soon entered February, and on February 2, the Chicago Bulls, a strong Eastern team, arrived at the Staples Center.
Today, Rose is in excellent form. As soon as he came up, he combined sudden shots, hit two goals at the basket, and hit a three-pointer from the outside.
Immediately afterwards, Luol Deng also began to explode, not only being able to hit the basket, but also shooting three-pointers from the corner. Early in the first quarter, he made 7 of 4 shots, 2 of 1 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. 11 points.
The Bulls' outside line was suddenly accurate, causing the Clippers to adjust their defensive strategy and strengthen their defense on the outside line.
However, the Bulls have not had a bad lineup this season.
After the outside line affected the Clippers' defensive focus, Noah and Gibson on the inside also suddenly shot away.
Noah and Gibson are not insiders who only know how to eat cakes. Both of them were trained as core players in the NCAA.
Even in the NBA, physical fitness does not have as much of an advantage as in the NCAA, but there are still some shooting packages that should be there.
The Clippers were attacked by the Bulls outside and inside, and they couldn't resist for a while.
However, the point difference in the first quarter was only stretched to 7 points.
As soon as the second quarter came up, Lu Yi accepted Dunleavy's assignment to find Rose in the pick-and-roll, using offense to consume Rose and reduce the Bulls' outside efficiency.
Lu Yi held the ball. Although the Bulls adopted the strategy of double-teaming outside, the Clippers replaced Korver and mentioned Scola to the position of small forward.
With two more shooting points, it will be difficult for Lu Yi to be restricted by double-teaming.
After looking for opportunities to play a few Roses, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau also quickly made adjustments, first replacing Rose, and then replacing him with a forward substitute to consume Lu Yi's physical strength.
Dunleavy also reacted quickly, and it didn't take long for Iverson to hold the ball.
Without a point guard with a body like Rose, even Iverson, who is at the end of his career, still has a certain singles ability.
As a pitcher, Lu Yi is outside to respond.
On the side of the Clippers' inside situation, Iverson played more easily and freely.
The Clippers, as a strong team in the Western Conference, not a pseudo-strong team, naturally have two brushes.
After being beaten dizzily in the first quarter, he used his own advantages to counter the Bulls in the second quarter.
Thibodeau's coaching style usually likes to play hard on the main players. Seeing that the team is at a disadvantage, he has to replace the main players such as Rose.
However, with the loss of physical strength, players' playing status will inevitably decline.
The Bulls just had a 5-point advantage in the third quarter. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, they were sapped by the Clippers again and hit a 0-7 spurt.
The Clippers chased the point difference back and regained the lead.
Thibodeau, who was anxious off the court, had nothing to do but squeeze the physical strength of the main players until they were completely exhausted.
98 to 106, the Clippers, who were at home in the end, took an 8-point lead and won the final victory.
After the game with the Bulls, the Clippers restarted their Eastern Conference road trip.
On February 2, arrived in Atlanta to play against the Eagles.
Facing the Eagles with a rich lineup and good form, the Clippers played an extremely difficult game.
100 to 101, with 6 seconds left in the game and 3 seconds left in the attack, Lu Yi missed a three-pointer and missed an offensive rebound. The Clippers lost the game by one point.
I have to say that this game is a bit of a pity, but in a long career, there will be more or less a dozen or even dozens of similar games.
Although Lu Yi has cheats, he is not a robot. No matter how stable his performance is, there is a possibility that he will miss the game-winning shot.
Time soon came to February 2, when the Clippers visited Miami to challenge the Heat.
Not long ago, the Heat were a guest at the Staples Center, and the Clippers lost by 6 points.
In this fight, the Clippers regained their face.
Lu Yi is in good form today, scoring 14 points early in the first quarter.
Relying on Lu Yi's containment on the outside, the other Clippers players also performed relatively stably.
Boozer was stable inside and only got Bosh, and Jordan relied on his running and jumping ability to eat a lot of cakes on Big Z's head.
In the starting lineup, although Iverson and Ariza have relatively solid shots.
But fortunately, the Heat couldn't shoot from the outside line today.
James and Wade kept playing inside, and the Clippers played zone defense, which had a certain impact on both Wade and James.
After the game, Wade made 14 of 7 shots, 3 of 0 three-pointers, 10 of 9 free throws, and scored 23 points.
波什9投5中，罚球11投5中，砍下15分。
詹姆斯15投4中，三分3投0中，罚球6投3中，只有11分进账。
The Heat's Big Three took up more than 49% of the team's possession, but only scored [-] points efficiently.
In this situation, it is difficult for the Clippers not to win.
101 to 92, the Clippers from afar won the game by 9 points.
In the regular season, the Clippers and the Heat each won one game, which makes sense.
On February 2, the Clippers continued to visit the South Coast, this time against the Orlando Magic.
Although the Magic is still a strong team in the Eastern Conference today, it is no longer the Magic that reached the finals in the past.
As early as December, the Magic traded away Vince Carter, an offensive point with the ball on the outside.
In this way, the problem of the Magic's lack of strong points for holding the ball was further exposed.
96 to 89, the Clippers continued to win the Magic with a 7-point advantage.
It seems that the point difference is not big, but judging from the effect of the game, the Clippers have Lu Yi and Iverson playing singles with the ball at the critical moment. Basically, in two rounds, one of the rounds must be able to score.
The Magic wanted to score at critical moments, but no one could stand up.
After all, you can't count on Nelson and Howard, right?
One is limited in size and the other in technology. The Clippers can produce a good defensive effect by slightly adjusting their defensive deployment.
After defeating the Magic, the Clippers set off for New York overnight.
On February 2, back-to-back away games against the Knicks.
This season, under the leadership of Stoudemire, the Knicks have faint hopes of reaching the playoffs. Recently, the Knicks have even won a lot of victories.
However, this time they met the Clippers, even if it was a back-to-back Clippers away game, the Knicks could only run away with their heads in their arms, alas.
The Clippers started with five players, all scoring in double figures.
卢易更是在尼克斯空虚的防守下27投19中，三分11投8中，罚球4投4中，爆砍50分4篮板5助攻的数据。
It is also because of the Knicks, as long as you pay attention to the fast break, so Lu Yi will have fewer rebounds than before.
But in terms of scoring, it was really an easy one.
Not to mention Madison Square Garden, a big stage that attracts national attention, Lu Yi can't do well if he doesn't want to play well.
122 to 108, the Clippers took away the Knicks by a big score, and Lu Yi also scored extremely gorgeous data.
After beating the Knicks, the Clippers took a day off in New York to relax.
Although consumption is high in the Big Apple City, entertainment items are indeed abundant.
After recuperating, on February 2, the Clippers arrived in Cleveland. Today's opponent is the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference.
If it weren't for the Cavaliers playing badly for the No. [-] pick, the Clippers might capsize in the gutter.
119 to 112, although the two teams scored a lot, fans who have actually watched the game will know that both teams played a bit softly.
The time soon came to February 2th, and the Clippers continued to be a guest in the East. This time they flew out of the country to play in Toronto.
After Bosh left, the Raptors collapsed directly. Even if the management didn't mean to play badly, they had to join the sequence of badly hitting the lottery pick.
98 to 93, because the Clippers still have back-to-back away games to play, so today's main force only played two and a half quarters.
Fortunately, the Raptors didn't want to win much, and the Clippers finally won the game with a 5-point advantage.
On February 2, the Clippers arrived in Milwaukee.
The sorrow of the small ball market is that before all-stars or even superstars are cultivated, they don't have the strength to hit the playoffs.
The Bucks are not a typical bad team, but they are often forced to accept the facts after working hard for most of the season and have to struggle for the lottery.
102 to 82, the Clippers still beat the Bucks by 20 points in back-to-back away games.
After playing the Bucks, the Clippers have the Timberwolves in their last game before the All-Star Game.
98 to 90, the Clippers won again.
It is also because of the recent winning streak that Lu Yi once again won the honor of the Western Conference Player of the Week.
