Chapter four hundred and fortieth chapter is not unexpected(1/2)
The Clippers finally won a victory with a huge advantage of 119:101 and 18 points away.
Paul performed amazingly in this game, making 11 of 14 shots, scoring a game-high 38 points!
He also sent 12 assists, 3 steals, and only 2 turnovers.
It can be said that the youngest player on the field has contributed the most exciting performance.
Paul also reached a record for this game. Since the 19851986 season, only 9 players in the league have scored 38 points without more than 14 shots.
Paul became one of them, relying on a three-pointer that broke out tonight, with 5 of 7 shots.
In the sports game, we scored a total of 27 points, and the remaining 11 points depended on free throws.
It can be said that Paul's efficiency is terrifying and terrifying.
Of course, in a few years, this kind of record of taking more than 10 shots and getting 30 points will no longer be a strange thing.
After winning this game, the Clippers finally ended their long road trip.
In 7 games, the Clippers won 6 of them, which can be said to be quite perfect.
Currently, they continue to win 22 wins and 3 losses, and are proud of the entire league.
After the game, the entire Clippers finally returned to Los Angeles and had to repair it one day.
The players are still very tired. The main players in the Eastern Conference are relatively weak. In addition, the Clippers are now in a deep lineup. With Li Liang and Paul's various god-level performances, they have chewed this hard bone.
However, after playing this series of games, the season has reached one-third.
After returning to Los Angeles, they didn't have much time to rest and train.
Because the next game will continue.
For a season of long-distance running, this period will be the stage where players are tired and injured.
Barnes Butler missed most of the away trip due to injury.
Li Liang resisted it all by himself.
Although he knew that he was not so easy to get injured, and he was still a rookie, and it was time to get the ball up.
As a fan and team owner of Li Liang, Ballmer has already thought about it and must find a qualified substitute for Li Liang.
During the team's expedition, the Clippers' management was suitable for free agents to replenish the team's bench.
Their demand is of course the front line.
In addition to Odom, who recommended himself, the candidates for the inspection also included Stephen Jackson, who was cut by the Spurs last season.
Jackson was finally cleared in the middle of the season due to a conflict with Spurs head coach Popovich last season.
Originally, Jackson was still the pioneer in defending Li Liang when playing against the Lakers.
Now he has no ball to play and is looking for a job everywhere.
After a detailed investigation and soliciting opinions, the Clippers decided to sign a short contract with Lamar Odom.
If Odom performs well enough, the Clippers will consider signing a longer-term contract with him.
On December 15, the Clippers officially announced the signing of Odom.
On December 16, Odom participated in the Clippers' training, and the Clippers will have games at Stamps tonight.
Odom is still very excited about being able to return to the Clippers.
He has experienced so many bad things this summer, drunk driving, breakup gossip, drugs.
Of course, these things were made by himself.
From the perspective of ordinary people, at least half of the people who play in NBA are bastards.
Odom is undoubtedly a typical example of this kind.
And for these bastards, basketball is actually their refuge.
When you can play, these bastards can become heroes, achieve achievements, and win cheers.
So at the lowest point in life, bastards all hope to return to the basketball court, both for money and for the sake of their hearts.
On the morning of the 16th, Odom came to the Clippers' gymnasium very early to participate in training.
In the past, he was often late for training, but this time he decided to cherish this opportunity.
Odom was the first to arrive, and Paul Crawford Griffin and others arrived one after another.
They all greeted Odom, but they didn't look particularly enthusiastic.
Although Odom spent a year in the Clippers last season, he didn't get along with his teammates very well.
Odom has a bit of a perverse personality. If Kobe is suppressing him in the Lakers, he will not be able to go to other teams.
Crawford's relationship with him was quite tense. When Rivers solicited opinions from the team's veterans and whether to sign Odom, Crawford was against it.
Although Crawford is not good at defending, he is as thin as a monkey and seems to be lazy in playing basketball.
In fact, Crawford trained very hard, otherwise he would not have been able to survive in the league for so long.
But he only practices offense, not defense.
Because Odom returned to the Clippers, he continued no matter what his teammates gave him.
He signed a short contract, and no matter whether he performed poorly on the court or affected unity off the court, he would be kicked out directly.
During the days when he was not playing, Odom felt that life had lost a lot of things.
For those who have achieved success and gained a lot of wealth at a young age, even at this age, many of their thoughts and behaviors are still the same as children.
Odom is not very clear about how he should get back on track, but he knows one thing: to get back on track, he must continue playing.
This is the only thing he is good at.
At 11 a.m., the teams were gathered and training was about to begin.
Odom will be able to play in tonight's game, so he needs to get along with the team.
After a season, the Clippers' style of playing has changed. The coach has changed and the core has added another person.
Alas, where did that core go? Why haven’t the person come yet at 11 o’clock?
Odom suddenly realized that Li Liang didn't come?
Is that so arrogant? Not coming to training?
Li Liang has been playing in the league recently, especially the winning basket, which is always the most popular.
Of course Odom knew Li Liang's outstanding performance, and even more so he knew that he could enter the Clippers. It is said that Li Liang was proud of his actions and agreed to his boss Ballmer to sign him.
So Odom also patted Li Liang's flattery on social media, forwarded and liked it.
He thought that a player like Li Liang, who is a magical player, must be very, very hard-working in training.
I was originally thinking that I would meet Li Liang the first time in the morning, just like Kobe was when he was in the Lakers.
When Li Liang was in the Lakers, Odom heard that Kobe liked Li Liang very much, so this guy must be a training monster.
Who knew that I was late today?
Not only was he late, but the training lasted for two hours, Li Liang did not show up at all.
And from beginning to end, Rivers didn't ask where Bruce Lee was going.
When the group training was about to end, Odom asked Mike Brown, why didn't Bruce Lee come to train today, is he injured?
When Odom was in the Lakers, he had a brief collaboration with Mike Brown, so the two were a little familiar with each other.
Mike Brown replied: He was not injured, he just didn't want to come, he often didn't come to train, and he was just when he was in the Lakers. But I advise you not to learn.
Mike Brown did not forget to remind Odom not to learn bad things from Li Liang.
When he was in the Lakers in the 12th season, Odom was dissatisfied with the team because of Paul's trading issues and was absent from training, and was finally sent to the Mavericks.
And this deal has made Odom difficult for the past two years.
When Odom heard Brown say this, he was confused. Is that okay?
Does Bruce Lee not come to train, or is it often?
So how did he achieve such achievements today from the end of the second round? It's incredible.
Brown saw Odom's surprise, spread his hands and said: I was surprised, didn't expect it, was it surprised or was it surprised? Yik, just get used to it.
After saying that, Brown patted Odom on the shoulder and suggested that he strengthen his strength training after the training.
Odom nodded, still feeling a little incredible in his heart. It turned out that NBA still has this kind of existence.
If you don’t train every day, your technical level will still improve by leaps and bounds. Does it rely on dreaming?
Li Liang really relies on dreaming.
He had already shown up, but no one believed it.
After returning home last night, Li Liang and Zhu Shu met again after a long separation.
As the saying goes, once the golden wind and jade dew meet, it will be better than countless people in the world.
To be continued...
