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 two times, but it is no wonder, after all, fighting in the inside is far less convenient than shooting in the outside.
Nowadays, the masters of the score-scoring masters of Fengwei are 50+ at every turn. If they are violent, 60+ is not impossible. The era of being able to record with more than 40 points will be gone forever.
Since the post-Jordan era, only O'Neal can win the scoring champion in the 99-00 season, and his average score is only 29.7 points, which is not a shocking thing.
In addition to O'Neal, who rarely played opponents at the basket, Iverson, McGrady, and Kobe have divided the scorers into the scoring champions, with averaging 30+ per game. In their eyes, they are really easy to do.
No matter how fierce and sharp O'Neal was in those years, if he really scored, he would have to retreat in front of the swaying man of the forward guard. After all, those animals are the standard scoring machine.
This is not an era when the inside should survive. Anyone who can average 20+ points per game is either a pitcher who is floating on the outside and never going to the basket, or a strong player like Brand who can score with mid-range shots.
Brand is not O'Neal. He doesn't have that much lethality. All he can rely on is his accurate mid-range jump shot. If such conventional weapons are missing, his offense will be discounted.
After all, if he is 2.06 meters tall and only weighs his weight, he will not be a big threat to the basket. This guy is not a spring man. If he wants to rely on his physical fitness to force the opponent, it may not be effective.
That's why Brand developed the mid-range jump shot, which means that he has such a stable scoring method. Only by ensuring 20+10 data per season can he get a big contract.
Stable performance is Brand's advantage. Even when the team is in a downturn, he can still contribute double-double data in a stable manner. Even if he cannot save the failure, he can make the game at least a little better.
But the core of a team should not only make the game look better. He should learn how to plunder the victory, rather than being satisfied with his double-double data.
Scored 28 points in three and a half quarters, such a data is far higher than Brand's average, but this statistics did not satisfy Brand's performance, and he even frowned on the bench.
Even the towel on his shoulder fell on the floor without causing Brand to move too much. He kept his head down and kept silent, just as everyone owed him a lot of money.
He scored 28 points, but there were less than five minutes left in the game. Looking at the score on the field, it was estimated that not only Brand was not satisfied, but Old Dunleavy had already thrown the suit to the ground in anger.
For this reason, the old Dunleavy was also called a technical foul by the referee. If it weren't for the referee's mercy, the old guy would have probably returned to the locker room to calm down.
It is not without reason that Old Dunleavy is so popular. The game has not ended yet, but his team is already 15 points behind the opponent. It is rare for Old Dunleavy to still ensure that he does not scold the streets.
Fifteen points! If the opponent was the Spurs or the Mavericks, maybe Dunleavy would be calmer, but looking at the Celtics in front of him, he could not keep calm no matter how he did.
In fact, when the first quarter was 30:30, Old Dunleavy felt that things were not good. He then made a substitution for the dispatch of troops, but the results were minimal, and he even seemed very passive at one point.
From the beginning of the second quarter, the whole situation was a little out of control. Old Dunleavy shouted at least three timeouts but failed to curb the team's slippery state. He even started yelling.
This is hard to see in the previous few games, but Old Dunleavy's roar can only bring more mistakes and more bad choices from the players. Anyway, that good state seems to have disappeared in an instant.
It is estimated that when Old Dunleavy first arrived in Boston, he definitely didn't expect the game to be like this. He thought that even if this trip to the Eastern Conference was a bit troublesome, he wouldn't have hit a wall in Boston.
But just like this place he didn't like, he had a heavy blow. The Clippers' winning streak that had just been hit was dragged down by these guys, and they were beaten up.
This completely made the old Dunleavy and the Clippers' members unable to find the North. It was not that they had encountered strong opponents, but they didn't expect that in Boston, there was a group of animals that were tougher than them.
No matter how old Dunleavy substitutions or how he adjusts his tactics, Rivers will play with a constant and changeable style. If you like to change, I will attack a little bit, and we will see you at the basket. I won’t play with you other styles of play.
Rivers' style of playing was purely to beat Old Dunleavy in the face. The old guy originally planned to defeat the Celtics from the inside, but in the end, he had nothing to do, but he was overturned instead.
Brand was able to sit on the sidelines so depressedly not because this guy had physical problems, but because the referee signaled to him a minute ago that he had committed fouls five times, so hurry up and go and rest.
The same is true in the second quarter. Brand was about to score a goal, but he had already committed three fouls there.
This made old Dunleavy very melancholy. He had to start adjusting his inside layout, but without Brand's signature character, no matter how he sets up his tactics, the gaps in the inside are all major loopholes.
The Celtics crazily tore the confidence of the Clippers from this gap. Even the DJ on the scene was teasing the Los Angeles people, "The Clippers seem to be sank by our Celtics."
Although this is a joke, it sounds so realistic and harsh, because the tragic Clippers are really about to sink these animals, at least it is already a little shaking now.
Although the score was behind, Old Dunleavy really couldn't think of any good way to solve it. Even if Brand had to go back to the bench, he endured it. This game could not be reversed by just 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, the Pistons may only be a big threat to them. In addition, the other teams may not be sure to defeat the Clippers. In any case, the Clippers are now in the top eight teams in the West.
Even though they are worse than last year's results, where is the foundation? Even if they are worse, no one can bully them. Moreover, the inside line of the Eastern Conference team is still at a weaker level than the Western Conference.
At least before the game started, Old Dunleavy thought so, but after the game started, his idea was immediately thrown out of the sky. Inside? The Celtics' inside line is so tough that it is daunting.
There is no way, the Celtics are already crazy, especially the inside line, and they are simply a group of locusts raging!
Brand scored 28 points, but Old Dunleavy really wanted to roar. Damn, Elton scored 28 points, but the bald animal scored 30 points! And he also took away 15 rebounds! 5 blocks!
Brand, who was staying on the sidelines, was so depressed not because he scored two points less than Chen Feng, but on the rebound. This guy was snatched by Chen Feng. He got 6 rebounds in almost 40 minutes!
This is a situation of the gods! Old Dunleavy really wants to bring someone over to ask if he is dreaming, and what he is going to do is it a very torturous nightmare!
Old Dunleavy wanted to roar, and Brand thought that he was sitting on the bench at this moment, listening to the shouts of the Boston fans, it was as harsh as a needle.
The worst thing is that his teacher, Coach K, was sitting not far away. Will his performance on the court disappoint him? He was born in Duke University and was originally a bit of Brand's pride, but now this pride has been shattered by a arrogant boy with a naked head, and it is all broken!
As the coach of the Dream Team, Lao K can come to Boston. Although he didn't say it clearly, it just depends on how Brand is in good condition. Perhaps it is not important for Brand to join the Dream Team.
But being able to play under your teacher has definitely had different meanings. Moreover, this Dream Team has already claimed to the public that it must form the strongest team, and big-name stars will join.
Like Kobe, James, and Wade, everyone is going to be so fierce. Who doesn’t want to join in the fun too? At least with these guys, the exposure will definitely be guaranteed, and it’s good to get rich.
So Brand also plans to join the Dream Team, but everything has to go through the motions. After all, he still has competitors in the inside position, and he must show good condition so that the old k will be better.
But just like this situation today, if Lao K can make any promises, it will be a hell.
Lao K has never had any expression on his side, but he probably felt bad when he saw the No. 1 pick show he taught was so ravaged. The most important thing is that Lao K saw Takanian.
Why did that old fox come? Now Lao K has no idea, but in the first quarter, he saw Chen Feng running to the sidelines to celebrate with Tacanian. That relationship is definitely not the interaction between players and fans.
"Student? Or something else?" Old K was also confused. After all, facing such a person who suddenly came out of the number one, he, the old man, was a little confused about the other party's background.
At least in the circle of college basketball, Lao K, who is considered an old fry, dares to say that. There is absolutely no information about No. 99. As for what the relationship between Chen Feng and Tacanian is, he is also speculating.
Things outside the court cannot affect the inside. What Lao K thinks is not going to make that kid Chen Feng stop raging. When the whistle sounded throughout the game, this guy had already soared his data to 19 rebounds!
30 points, 19 rebounds, 5 blocks, 1 assist, and 1 steal. No matter who is in front of such a data, it will make people look at it. Moreover, Chen Feng's tough look is even more eye-catching.
The Clippers had already fought desperately, but the result they got was a failure of 102:83. Their Clippers, which had been sailing smoothly in the east, were completely sunk this time...
When someone interviewed Lao K, the old guy left a sentence before leaving, "Chen Feng is also within my investigation." No one knew whether what he said was true or false, but this sentence caused a lot of shock.
It is unknown what others' reactions were, but Takanian is now ready to point at Lao K's nose and curse, "Damn it, I have worked hard to cultivate it. You have to take it away in one sentence? I think beautifully!"
As for Chen Feng, the kid's current idea was how to escape from the group of reporters around him, rather than considering what kind of dream team.
Dream Team? Hell, is it important to make me wear clothes? Your sister! Can these unscrupulous female reporters stop their despicable actions of attacking their breasts!!!
