Chapter 262
From a big city to another big city, on January 2013, 1, the Timberwolves challenged the Clippers away.

It's their last game in January, yet again against a playoff-caliber team, plus a new loss to an underwhelming team.

The Wolves will be gearing up, hoping to win this month's final battle and lay a solid foundation for the massacre of the Lakers.

If it is possible to kill the Los Angeles duo in Los Angeles, it must be able to cause quite an earthquake in the basketball world.

A lot of attention means a rise in fame, and a rise in fame means an increase in commercial value.

With this in mind, the generals of the Wolves team worked harder in preparation and training, and they were full of impact when attacking with the ball, shocking opponents begging for mercy.

The moon is hidden in the dark clouds, and the Clippers' training hall is brightly lit. They are conducting confrontation training, which has lasted for an hour.

The amount of training today was a little too high, and the players were miserable, but no one asked to leave before the winner was decided.

It's not that they love training so much, but that the head of the Clippers, Chris Paul, before speaking, no one wants to touch his bad luck.

The reason why Paul is still urging his teammates to train at this point is because he wants to win the game with the Timberwolves, not only because of the emotional dispute over the All-Star starting dispute, but also to make the team's record go further.

He is now in his prime, the golden age of harvesting glory. He is eager to win the championship with the Clippers, win the championship ring in his prime, and win the championship as a core player. For a player who will definitely enter the Hall of Fame Said, is always a good home.

Paul, who has a strong sense of victory and defeat, doesn't want to wait until the end of his career to hug other people's thighs and grab a championship.

Moreover, his ball-holding core style of play, in the twilight of his career, does not have a good prospect in the free market.

With his self-esteem, he doesn't want to see himself wandering, so winning the championship at the peak, and then waiting until he can't beat it, is his best choice.

There is another reason why Paul is so interested in the game against the Timberwolves. He wants to teach a lesson to Lillard, who has been in the limelight recently.

It's just a rookie who just played a few good games, but he was blown up by those media people. These guys seem to have forgotten who is the number one point guard among active players.

On the game day, the Timberwolves players came to the stadium through the player tunnel. Needless to say, there must be boos all over the sky to greet them.

Li Yu beat Chris Paul for two consecutive years and was selected as the All-Star starter. The Clippers and the Timberwolves have a feud.

Amidst the boos all over the sky, the expressions of the generals of the Wolves team were as usual, but it was not that their psychological quality was super strong, and Mount Tai did not change color before the collapse.

It's that they have a psychological advantage against the Clippers. The reason is that in the absence of the big devil, they can wrestle with the Clippers.

As we all know, with or without the big devil, the Timberwolves are completely two teams, so now that Li Yu can play, the Wolves will naturally not panic.

While tying his shoelaces, Love asked, "Li, in which quarter should we clock out for this game?

I want to end the game early and go back to the hotel to catch up on sleep. "

"It depends on whether you can jump to the initiative." Li Yu joked.

Speaking of this, Le Fu stopped dozing off, and said resentfully, "Why don't you jump the ball for me?"

"Okay, when I grow another ten centimeters, I will jump the ball for you."

In the gag between the two, time flies by.

The game officially begins.

The starting lineups of the two teams have not changed.

The Wolves are dominated by tridents, but the Clippers are a three-man team.

There is one thing to say, the Clippers' lobs are indeed unique, especially the cooperation between Paul and Griffin, which can only be described as pleasing to the eye.

Relying on the league's lobs, the Clippers won the reputation of the lob city.

The two commentators at the scene were also having a heated discussion on this matter.

"I think the Clippers can send at least eight alley-oops."

"Eight? I think you are crazy. Although the Timberwolves' inside line is not very strong, they are not so vulnerable.

Among other things, Kevin Love can match up with Blake Griffin. "

"No, I think Kevin is far behind Griffin. Compared with Kevin's soft style of play, I like watching Griffin play."

"Kevin Love is soft? Have you never seen him tough?"

The topic changed from how many lobs the Clippers could send to whether Love is hard or soft. The two commentators had a heated discussion.

Whether Le Fu is hard or soft, Li Yu doesn't know, but he thinks Le Fu's jump ball is really good.

In the case of seizing the opportunity, he failed to skip Jordan.

It's really weak, Li Yu sighed, and followed the Clippers' shooting guard, limiting the opponent's chance to catch the ball.

However, Paul didn't intend to pass the ball at all. He used his experience to get rid of Lillard, took two steps inside, and scored with a small throw.

"Paul's desire to attack is very strong today." Director Zhang frowned and said.

"Yes, as a traditional point guard, Paul usually plays for his teammates at the beginning of the game."

"It seems that the Clippers will cause some trouble for the Timberwolves."

Director Zhang's words came true for more than half. The Clippers did bring trouble to the Timberwolves, but it was not a few, but a huge trouble.

From the two teams tied in the first quarter, to trailing by 5 points in the second quarter, and then to double digits in the third quarter.

The Timberwolves were beaten so dizzy by the Clippers, it is not an exaggeration to say that they have no power to fight back.

In fact, Li Yu's performance was still excellent, and after three quarters, he scored 30 points.

However, his number of assists has plummeted compared to before, with only 5 assists recorded.

As for the other two prongs of the trident, Lillard encountered the rookie wall and was completely suppressed by Paul.

Love didn't know if he was cursed by the narrator, or if he really lost his energy due to lack of sleep.

He seemed to be sleepwalking on the court, his offense was weaker than Griffin, and his defense could not defend his opponents. Even the rebounds he was proud of could not compete with Jordan.

He scored 8 points + 10 rebounds, none of which were offensive rebounds.

At the end of the quarter, Ashuai directly put Lillard on the bench, because it had a completely negative effect on the field.

Trailing by 15 points before the start of the final quarter, even if Li Yu played well, Paul, who was crazy about killing, also performed superbly.

So in the last minute, although the point difference was reduced to 1 points, it was as difficult for the Timberwolves to reverse.

In the end, the big devil failed to achieve a big reversal, the game ended, 105:108, the Clippers defended their home court.

Li Yukong scored 45 points and 6 assists, while the Timberwolves were killed by the Clippers three times this season, and their record became 34 wins and 8 losses
