NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 238: Be submissive to your own people, but hit hard on outsiders
Clark was tacitly named to the starting lineup, while Webber sat on the bench wearing his jersey.

At this time, the Kings and Rockets stopped hiding and made it clear that they wanted to take the opportunity of this game to test Clark's quality.

At the same time, the Kings have also contacted several clubs interested in trading.

The reason for Weber sitting on the bench?
Needless to say!
Thousands of words turn into a mysterious smile, let them interpret it by themselves!

The heads of several clubs also knew very well that Clark, the most important product in the trading market, was put on display.

The fans were surprised. They didn't know why Clark squeezed Webb's starting position.

In China, because of the "Chinese Derby" between Lu Yuanzhi and Dayao, this game was also broadcast. Many Chinese fans who paid attention to the NBA for the first time because of Dayao showed clear and stupid eyes.

what's the situation?
Doesn’t the NBA talk about seniority?

A new and unknown rookie can actually squeeze out the starting position of the boss of the championship team?
Is this Clark so terrifying?
So isn’t the Kings sure to win the championship this year?
Then, various strange urban legends began to brew, such as "Garnett can take off and touch the top edge of the backboard 50 times in a row", "Chamberlain killed ten thousand people" and "Barkley gave O'Neal a beast-like finishing stunt. F5” has the same taste.

Clark's version is this:
克拉克是加内特的进化版，训练赛和韦伯单挑争首发位置，打了韦伯一个21：12、21：18和21:8，成功上位。

Look, there are even detailed scores, so they definitely can’t be fake!

On this basis, more bizarre urban legends such as "Webber shed tears on the court but gave up his main position in tears", "Adelman enforced the law impartially and put Webber on the bench in tears" were created for the second time. .

Later generations of young players named Zeng who broke off their hands in the United States still used this story that happened more than 10 months after his birth to inspire himself, telling himself that as long as you play well, you can get your teammates to pass the ball to you without toasting.

However, the protagonists of the story, Adelman and Webber, are telling the Kings players that they must cooperate with Clark and perform wonderfully.

Clark knew belatedly that he was about to be traded.

The imperial treatment for more than a month in the past was just to make the goods look more exquisite.

But Clark has no complaints. He spent four unhappy years in the league during his rookie period, and this month with the Kings has been the happiest month in his short career.

Moreover, look at the configuration of the Rockets. Except for Yao, who is still in the rookie stage, only one Fu boss is passable, and the others are really crooked.

Well, so does old cat Mobley.

Compared with the gangsters like the Kings, Mobley is really hello kitty.

Going to this bad team, relying on the good foundation laid in the Kings, he may not have no chance, relying on the tactical tilt of the coaching staff and his own efforts, to make a name for himself.

The Rockets are indeed a very good next home for Clark.

The Rockets' starting lineup is Dayao, Kenny Thomas, Glenn Rice, Cuttino Mobley and Steve Francis.

One look at this starting lineup, and you know that the Rockets are hungry for Clark.

The two strikers, Thomas and Rice, are both just over 2 meters tall. Especially Rice, who was mentioned as a power forward, is old and short, and his steps have become hobbled because of his age.

Rice was a three-time All-Star. What's even more awesome is that in the 97 All-Star, the league awarded 50 superstar awards. Jordan, Pippen, Olajuwon, and Malone all wanted to shine in this All-Star. His eye-catching performance was recorded in the annals of history.

Rice, who was selected as an All-Star as a substitute at the time, scored 20 points in the third quarter and stole the AMVP that year from a group of big players.But time is not forgiving, and now Rice is not worth his 920 million worth. The team's scoring ranking has fallen out of the top five, and the defensive end has become a liability.

Clark couldn't be happier playing against such a player.

From the beginning, Clark, with the support of the whole team, succeeded in a mid-range jump shot after a post-up, and dunked on a fast break pass from Bobby Jackson.

The most eye-catching time was when he grabbed an offensive rebound under the basket and succeeded in a sneak dunk before Dayao could turn around.

Well, a buckle is a buckle. You turned your back to me at that time. It must be your problem. What does it have to do with me, Clark!
The Rockets also cooperated very well by not double-teaming Clark, allowing him to fully display his offensive talents.

While Clark was performing his personal performance, Lu Yuanzhi also put pressure on Dayao.

In this game, Lu Yuanzhi continued to rush to the basket. Thomas, who was guarding him, had no choice but to watch Lu Yuanzhi rush inside to find Dayao.

However, Dayao seems to have adjusted very well. Those bad defensive habits he developed in his youth are slowly being corrected. He did not flinch in the face of Lu Yuanzhi's impact, and rushed forward fiercely to protect the basket, while losing some unnecessary movements with his hands.

Lu Yuanzhi relied on his "enhanced confrontation" skills and 85 points of confrontation finishing ability to beat Dayao twice, and was defended by Dayao once. It was a win or loss for both sides.

The most important thing is that in these three defenses, Dayao was not called a foul by the referee.

It seems that after previous games, the head coaches of many teams also tried to let their players attack the basket, trying to imitate Lu Yuanzhi and get Dayao into foul trouble.

But looking at the league, there are very few players with Lu Yuanzhi's impact and strong finishing ability at the basket. How could Dayao be beaten by a few bastards?

These players who hit the basket have turned into Dayao's experience package, which further improved his ability to protect the basket, and also allowed him to get rid of some bad defensive habits, making it less likely to be called for defensive fouls.

Based on the defensive pressure Dayao puts on him, Lu Yuanzhi estimates that Dayao's ability to protect the basket is still weaker than O'Neal at this stage.

According to feedback from the data, O'Neal can probably reduce the opponent's shooting percentage at the basket by 15-20%, while Dayao, because he has not yet hung up his body and is slightly thin, can currently reduce the opponent's shooting percentage by 12-15%.

This is also the league’s top rim protector!
After Lu Yuanzhi tested Dayao's rim protection and improved, he no longer rushed to the basket.

The offensive and defensive confrontation between Lu Yuanzhi and Dayao under the basket did not attract any attention from Chinese fans. However, after that, Jim Jackson and Bobby Jackson attacked the Kings basket one after another, and were directly given two big blocks by Dayao. The whole barrage was It's getting lively.

"I'll be submissive to my own people, but I'll hit hard on outsiders?"

"Jacksons: Oops, there's an ambush!"

"I originally wanted to squeeze a soft persimmon, but ended up bumping into a durian?"

After Dayao and Francis came off the field during the rotation, they sat near the coaching bench and heard Tomjanovich and his assistants discussing Clark unabashedly.

ps: Curry and Paul’s dunk training was really exciting!Is this the "air-connect city" you call it?

Loved it!
