The era of point forwards in the NBA

Chapter 210 Fatigue (asking for a subscription, asking for a monthly pass)
"I heard that before the start of this game, the Thunder flew here directly after the game. It seems that the Clippers at home have a good chance to avenge their shame." Barkley said in the commentary booth.

"Isn't this nonsense? It was past midnight after the game between them and the Kings. Back-to-back games are still consecutive away games. We used to be athletes. This feeling is not good." Kenny Smith said.

Barkley also nodded at the side. Although everyone in the Thunder team warmed up on the field was very serious, it was unavoidable to make people worry about their state.

"Listen to me, we must win this game. This season has just begun. We can't give up on our own. The less optimistic the outside world is, the better the face-slapping scene will be. Brothers, let this young army see the strength of the veteran." Baron Davis called his teammates together for a pre-match cheering session.

After experiencing the Black Eight Mavericks, his desire for victory is very strong. Even if he is in deep trouble, in the Los Angeles Clippers, which is known as a bad team, he also believes that as long as he works hard, there is no invincible opponent.

Those who believe in miracles are themselves miracles, let alone those who have created miracles.

"That's right, the opponent is just a brat who has just entered the league. As a veteran, why do we get discouraged before we play? Don't forget, even if our No. [-] pick can't play, we will make the playoffs this season. Standing on the court is much happier than going home to fish." Marcus Camby said, he has been very unfortunate in his life.

Although he has proven himself on the defensive end, some people always think that he was lucky to be ranked second in the draft. As a member of the 96th draft, he will inevitably be compared with people lower than him by the media.

Nash, Kobe, etc. have all become superstars in the league, but he doesn't deserve it, he is just a defensive center.

What can defense achieve? Without good-looking statistics, you can't win if you can't score, let alone a championship.

His career has been adrift, being squeezed by the team for the only transaction value.

All he can do is to grab every rebound conscientiously and protect his own basket with tough blocks. Therefore, when he sees the basketball talents of the Thunder, he will also be jealous and envious.

The best way to prove it is to defeat them and prove to the world that you are no worse than anyone else.

"Oh, come on, teach this dark horse a lesson." Kaman was also mobilized by his teammates and became excited.

"Hey, seniors, I'm just a rookie in 07. What you say sounds a bit strange." Elthorton didn't know how to answer. He was in the same class as Durant, and in the eyes of others, he was a young "brat".

"It doesn't matter, we won the victory in one go, we can't let the home fans down!" Baron Davis put his arms around Thornton and said with a smile, they were much more energetic after having enough rest time.

The Thunder team was a bit tired. Curry didn't practice the three-pointer in the opening circle, and everyone else was warming up. Compared with the Clippers, the atmosphere was much more dull.

"I always have some bad premonitions, the Thunder players are obviously out of shape." Barkley said.

"Haha, when you say that, I think the chances of the Thunder team winning are greatly increased." Kenny Smith couldn't help complaining when he heard Barkley's tainted milk.

……

The game officially started, the Clippers sent the starting lineup is Byron Davidson, Russell Butler, El Thornton, Chris Kaman, Marcus Camby.

The Thunder still sent the familiar five players, Curry, Lin Yue, Durant, Sefolosha, and Collison.

Collison was much shorter than Camby on the opening jump ball this time. After the Clippers secured the ball, they immediately launched a fast break.

Byron Davidson passed the ball to Al Thornton in the cut, and the latter scored two points for a dunk before the Thunder were still in the paint.

The fast break at the beginning made the fans on the scene boil. They saw the determination of the home team to win this game, and responded to the players on the field with their own cheers.

Hearing such enthusiastic cheers, the Clippers players were obviously taken aback. They have never had such an experience this season.

This season, the team lost more and won less. After getting the No. [-] pick and signing Griffin, Clippers fans thought the team was about to take off.

As a result, the day before the start of the main game, it was reported that Griffin was absent due to injury, and then he was reimbursed for the season.

It hit the few Clippers fans like a bolt from the blue.

Coupled with the fact that Lin Yue's performance at the second place in the league has become more and more outstanding, and the Thunder's record has also been advancing all the way, reaching the second place in the Western Conference. Now the fans are even more complaining about the management's selection.

If Lin Yue is signed with the No. [-] pick, maybe the Clippers are now at the forefront, and the management, which has been complained by fans, cannot give an answer.

People don't have the ability to predict. After signing Griffin, they can only wait for their comeback, and nothing can be changed.

The anger of the fans can also be understood. Fighting is kissing and scolding is love. This kind of emotion can better show their care.

Just like the fans of the national football team, they talk about the rubbish of the national football team.

Moreover, it is a country with a large population. Players can take the blame for the performance gap in this world-influential sport.

But scolding is scolding, after all, it is still my own family.

The fans of the Clippers are so excited because they saw the long-lost desire to win in the players. On the other side is Lin Yue, whom they have been thinking about. If they beat the Thunder before, it would be a misunderstanding.

On the court, after being raided, the Thunder quickly dribbled the ball across half court, but the Clippers returned to defense very quickly. Even though Curry advanced at full speed, he was stopped by Baron Davis.

After several passes, the Thunder still failed to break through the Clippers' defense.

Baron Davis seemed to see through Curry's backrun. Every time he was about to get away and was caught up, the same was true for everyone else. Everyone in the Clippers had very focused eyes. Obviously, they entered the state as soon as the game started.

In the end, Durant's singles missed the basket in the middle distance, and Camby pushed Collison hard to get a defensive rebound.

Durant stretched his body after shooting. It seems that back-to-back away games made his body a little tired.

Coach Brooks frowned, the thing he was most worried about happened.

This time the Thunder's defense began to show loopholes. After Baron Davis broke through Curry, no one stepped forward to defend, allowing him to easily get the opportunity to go up to the blue.

Collison's position at the basket was blocked by Camby, and he failed to go around and interfere.

"It seems that the status of the Thunder is still affected. Their defensive ability is not good, and now they are in a state of loss. If their offense is not opened up tonight, the only thing waiting for them in this defense is to lose." Barkley said very simply.
