After defeating the Celtics, the Clippers lost. Lost to the Brooklyn Nets.
This time the Nets and Clippers worked hard, playing the regular season as if it were the finals, and the players felt great, and everyone felt like they were on stimulants. The defense against Ye Feng reached its maximum intensity. They resolutely refused to let him catch the ball. One person followed and another blocked him. They kept pestering him in front of him, making it impossible for him to accelerate and break through smoothly.
This is indeed effective, at least it can consume Ye Feng's physical strength. In the second half, Ye Feng's hand felt the impact. He only scored 31 points and his shooting percentage was only 40%, which was lower than the average. The Nets' defense was considered a success.
The second game was a back-to-back game against the Dallas Mavericks, and the Clippers suffered two consecutive losses. Their last losing streak dates back to the 2011 Finals against the Heat.
The Clippers did not lose unfairly. As long as the Mavericks have the right personnel, they will be very strong. Deron Williams and Darren Collison on the outside are both top-notch defenders, and Nowitzki, DeAndre Jordan, Kaman, Brand and others on the inside are not vegetarians either. They are likely to pose some threat to the Clippers in the playoffs.
Cuban is really a basketball-loving boss. He is willing to spend any amount of money to win the championship. The outside world has questioned Nowitzki's ability and believes that as long as Nowitzki is the core, there will be no championship. Cuban publicly stated that he is willing to continue Yonovski to 70 years old. His kindness to players is also envied by many people in the league.
A week later, the Clippers lost to the Memphis Grizzlies again. The Grizzlies are also an out-and-out powerhouse with many stars. As long as they play well, it will be difficult to stop them. Ye Feng's defense is still very good, but no matter how brave he is, he can't make up for the lack of defensive experience of several newcomers. Gay beat Harrison, looking like the boss of the Grizzlies, leading the team to a victory.
Ye Feng's scoring average is still over 40 points per game. If he doesn't score in one game, he can get it back with his best efforts in the next game.
This is the season that established his historical status. Ye Feng played very well. There are no expiring contracts in the team, and players who want to renew their big contracts are willing to help him score.
But he will definitely not win games this way again next season, it is too tiring. The average time per game reached 39.3 minutes and he controlled a lot of the ball. He is really fighting for data. Once the string is relaxed, it will be difficult to find the scoring rhythm.
As fans, we definitely hope that the season can be as long as possible, and it is best to have several overtimes in each game. But from Ye Feng's perspective, he really hopes that the season will end as soon as possible. have a good rest.
Entering April, the Clippers suffered upset losses to the Milwaukee Bucks and San Antonio Spurs. People are beginning to wonder whether the Clippers can successfully defend their title this season, although their record is still ranked first.
On April 14, the Clippers played the Grizzlies again in an away game.
Next they will return to their home court to face the Trail Blazers and Kings, which will be much easier. Ye Feng's scoring average is now 40.1 points per game. This game is very critical, as long as he can hold 40+ points. In the last two games, the Clippers have decided to let him rest and recover for the playoffs.
Thibodeau arranged for Ye Feng to be the main attacker. And sent pitchers to partner with him. The Grizzlies are fighting every game for the final ranking, and they will not be polite to the Clippers. The usual starting lineup was fielded.
The Clippers' current situation is good. Marcus Thornton is back and has maintained his pre-injury form, worthy of his newly signed contract. He is still serving as a substitute, and together with Pau Gasol, the Clippers' third The second team is stronger.
The Grizzlies have won five games in a row. In order to compete for fourth place in the Western Conference, get the home field advantage in the first round. The Grizzlies are determined to win this game.
Griffin and Rudy Gay jointly contributed 8 points in the opening game and started an 8-0 run. Ye Feng first hit a jump shot, then broke through and assisted Harrison in hitting a three-pointer, stabilizing the situation.
The two sides were inseparable in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the substitute lineup competed. The Gasol brothers dominated the interior and completely defeated the Grizzlies substitutes Speights and Arthur. Take the initiative.
As the playoffs approached, Pau Gasol's condition began to improve, and not participating in the All-Star Game gave him a chance to adjust. He now averages 14.8 points, 8.9 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.4 blocks per game. There is no big surprise that he will be elected as the best sixth man this season. The Clippers have an outstanding record, and Gasol's performance is indispensable.
Gasol¡¯s performance is quite satisfactory. He is very stable, averaging 10.7 points, 6.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.2 blocks in 30 minutes per game. His role cannot be reflected by statistics. On the court, he rarely makes mistakes.
At halftime, the Clippers led 56 to 48 by 8 points.
In the third quarter, Ye Feng found his touch. The Clippers' double pick-and-roll tactics created opportunities for him. Ye Feng led the team to a 13-0 offensive climax with a pull-up jumper, widening the point difference. The Grizzlies didn't dare to double-team, and Gasol and Love both opened up in the first half.
Ye Feng scored 21 points in a single quarter, the fourth??It became garbage time. He is already preparing to make this game his last regular season game. Even with a big lead, he continued to play in the fourth quarter and scored 8 points, totaling 47 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. While leading the Clippers to an away victory, Ye Feng maintained his scoring average at 40.2 points per game.
After the game, Ye Feng will not say publicly that he will miss the last two games, which will affect attendance. When the time comes, he will just say that he is at home with his wife, which fans will completely understand.
The other teams in the Western Conference are still fighting for rankings and want to avoid the Clippers as much as possible. And those teams that have little chance of making the playoffs have already begun to mess up and prepare for next year's draft.
Ye Feng did not play in the last two games, nor did he go to watch the games. Love and Pau Gasol did not play for long, giving the newcomers many opportunities, and they lost to the Portland Trail Blazers.
In the end, the Clippers ended the regular season with a record of 70 wins and 12 losses.
Many experts and celebrities congratulated Ye Feng. Not only did the Clippers achieve the best record this season, it was also the best season of Ye Feng's career, averaging 40.2 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks per game. The shooting percentage was 52.6%, the three-point shooting percentage was 41.4%, and the free throw percentage was 87%. Such data can already be compared with old stars such as Chamberlain. In fact, anyone with half of Ye Feng's statistics would be considered a second-rate star. And this season, Ye Feng's salary only ranks 11th, with high salary and low performance.
He easily won the scoring title, and he must have already won the regular season MVP. His scoring increased by 16.1 points compared with last season. He will get a lot of votes in the selection of the Most Improved Player Award.
Kevin Durant is also playing very well this season, averaging 28.4 points, 9.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.4 blocks per game. Many statistics have reached the peak of his career. Sooner or later, the league will be dominated by two 2007 players, Ye Feng and him. Unfortunately, with Ye Feng here, it will be difficult for him to win the regular season MVP.
The Celtics¡¯ Rajon Rondo continues to lead the league in assists, averaging 12.6 per game.
Because Ye Feng's crazy attack "assist" Star Love had 20+ rebounds four times after the game, improving his statistics and winning the rebounding title for the third consecutive season, with 13.3 rebounds.
Brandon Jennings won the steals title for the first time, with 2.7. Thunder's Serge Ibaka continues to lead the league in blocks, averaging 3.3 per game.
The regular season ended on April 18. The rankings and records of the Eastern and Western Conferences are as follows.
East: 1 New Jersey Nets, 2 Miami Heat, 3 New York Knicks, 4 Boston Celtics, 5 Milwaukee Bucks, 6 Philadelphia 76ers, 7 Chicago Bulls, 8 Orlando Magic, 9 Indiana Pacers, 10 Charlotte Bobcats , 11 Atlanta Hawks, 12 Cleveland Cavaliers, 13 Toronto Raptors, 14 Detroit Pistons, 15 Washington Wizards.
The Nets maintained their first place in record, and the Magic exploded in the second half, finishing eighth and advancing to the playoffs. Their signings last season were also very successful, with the additions of Raymond Felton and Gerald Wallace. Joining makes the team stronger. Brook Lopez has also become one of the top five insiders in the league.
The Pacers, who had a good record last season, were injured due to the injury of core player Granger and the decline of inside player Hibbert. In the end, they only ranked ninth and missed the playoffs. Kyrie Irving of the Cavaliers was injured and rested for a month and a half, and their record was also very poor. The Wizards and Pistons have been at the bottom for two consecutive years, and it is still unknown whether the Clippers can get the Pistons' first-round pick.
West: 1 Los Angeles Clippers, 2 Dallas Mavericks, 3 San Antonio Spurs, 4 Memphis Grizzlies, 5 Denver Nuggets, 6 Oklahoma City Thunder, 7 Houston Rockets, 8 Golden State Warriors, 9 Portland Trail Blazers, 10 Los Angeles Lakers, 11 Utah Jazz, 12 New Orleans Hornets, 13 Phoenix Suns, 14 Sacramento Kings, 15 Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Lakers once retained the hope of the playoffs, but as in previous years, the team relied too much on Kobe, and others were always unable to step forward and provide him with much help. Iguodala, who was selected for the All-Star Game last season, averaged only 14.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game. Not a qualified second-in-command. Nene only played 38 games throughout the season and missed most of the season, which disappointed the Lakers. It feels like giving away two stars in exchange for garbage contracts. The Lakers missed the playoffs for the first time since 2005.
The competition in the Western Conference is very fierce. The Golden State Warriors went on a 9-game winning streak after the All-Star Game. They came from behind to surpass the Trail Blazers and won the last spot to advance to the playoffs.
Although no one is optimistic about the Warriors winning, it is a breakthrough for them to enter the playoffs, and the summer trade was not in vain.
The starting lineup composed of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, DeMar DeRozan, David Lee, and Andrew Bogut is very competitive, and the substitutes also include Carl Landry, Brandon Rush, A strong player like Jarrett Jack. In contrast, the Clippers actually hope to meet the Trail Blazers or Jazz. Both teams were swept by the Clippers. They are at a disadvantage psychologically. The Warriors are young and dare to fight, and they have created a black eight miracle. of.
Only 13 people can sign up for the playoffs. After the second 10-day short contract ended, the Clippers waived Tu Holloway. Now they have just the right number. (To be continued.
