Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 746 Christmas War

But the strongest point of the Spurs this season is that after the introduction of All-Star power forward Aldridge, they are much better in talent. The starting lineup of Duncan, Aldridge, Parsons, Butler, and Parker is not only a balanced lineup, but under the revitalization of Ginobili and Diaw, Mills, Anderson, and Joel Anthony can also have a good presence in the team. Appropriate performance, of course, and the white mamba Bonner.

Harris, who took the initiative to take the position of power forward, is undoubtedly the target of the Spurs' key breakthrough. Speaking of which, the Clippers are also a bit unfortunate. In the first game Durant joined, he happened to meet Al, who has the most comprehensive offensive skills in the league. Derich, the latter's superb low-temperature singles and iconic straight-arm jumper are anything and everything in front of Harris, and he directly labeled Harris as Jones.

Durant is indeed unstoppable on the offensive end, and the Clippers fans at home are excited. This must be the superstar with the strongest personal ability in the history of the Clippers.

Fernandez's first performance was relatively mediocre. Fortunately, in the Durant trade, Waiters, who was regarded as a burden and dumped to the Clippers, performed well on the bench. His excellent offense helped the Clippers not be further pulled apart by the Spurs in the bench matchup Points difference. When the game came to the second half, Dragic became the one who stood up to help Durant. He made a sudden outside shot in the third quarter, scored 13 points and 4 assists in a single quarter, and turned the game around by himself. And Embiid also seized the opportunity of Duncan's decline in physical strength to dominate the interior. The Spurs sent Splitter away to make room for Aldridge, but also made the aging Duncan take on more defensive ends. A lot of work, and there is not even a suitable substitute to support the team's defense when Duncan's physical strength declines. This is not a big or small hidden danger. The threat of Parker's breakthrough has been greatly reduced, and his shooting and organization have never been his strong points, which makes his role in the tough midfielder far less good than it looks.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Clippers' young and powerful lineup further exerted their advantages and robbed the Spurs of the interior rebounds. Butler, the blacksmith, failed to make three answerballs in a row. The difference was also further opened by the Clippers. The Clippers successfully maintained a double-digit lead for half a quarter, and finally defeated the powerful Spurs 122:114, winning the first victory after Durant joined.

In Durant's first show for the Clippers, he made 15 of 27 shots in the game, scored 36 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, showing the true qualities of a superstar. Although the team's lineup is not much stronger than the previous Thunder, and there is no superstar assistance like Westbrook, but it is undeniable that Durant played more comfortably.

"I am very happy to win the first game of joining the Clippers. At any time, beating the Spurs is a very meaningful thing. I wish me and the team all the best in the next season."

One potential impact of Durant joining the Thunder is that the antagonism of the Christmas game this season has actually declined. Unlike Durant who quickly conquered the Clippers as soon as he arrived, Griffin was in the Thunder. In the team's first show, the stats of 16+11+5 can only be said to be quite satisfactory, and the relationship between him and Westbrook still needs some running-in.

. . . . . .

That is, before Christmas, Tesla officially announced that Jiang Mingliang, Xie Qirun, and Zhang Kangyang acquired 6.67% of Tesla's shares for US$1.78 billion, of which Jiang Mingliang accounted for 4.9%. Among them, 1.75% is a replacement with Zhang Kangyang. Counting the 1.1% that Jiang Mingliang originally held in his own hands, the accumulated Tesla shares in his hands have reached 6%, and he is Tesla's fourth largest shareholder in the world.

As far as the China market is concerned, Jiang Mingliang represents Byte, Xie Qirun represents Zhengda, and Zhang Kangyang represents Su Lin. The addition of these three companies makes Tesla's prospects for entering the China market more optimistic. Once the news is announced, Tesla's stock price will rise strongly. 2.68%, which is a gratifying signal.

And Zhang Kangyang obtained 5% of the shares of the Nets and 10% of the shares of Inter Milan in the equity exchange with Jiang Mingliang, which is regarded as Zhang's overseas investment. And the replacement equity is a passive equity, which only receives dividends and will not affect the decision-making of the two teams.

Became the small boss of the Nets, Zhang Kangyang also appeared on the sidelines of the NBA Christmas Game, and watched the NBA's most watched regular season game with Jiang Mingliang.

Westbrook, Holiday, Ariza, Griffin, Olynyk. Except for Holiday, the Thunder's lineup is all muscular men, but at the same time, the peripheral shooting ability of this lineup seems to be questionable. In the pre-match arrangement, Stevens also emphasized this point .

Abnormal athletic ability has some restrictions on the Nets' space-focused style of play, but the Thunder's players have average defensive discipline, like to gamble and try to steal, and their supplementary defenses are relatively average. Facing the Nets' pass Cut, they haven't developed a highly targeted unlimited defense, so the Nets' chances of winning are still very high. At least from the perspective of TNT's pre-match predictions, the four commentators all expressed their optimism for the Nets. This is also an advantage of the American media.

Porzingis won the jump ball, and JR handed the ball to Curry immediately after receiving the ball, and the game officially began.

Holiday can also be regarded as Curry's old opponent. Although Curry often scored high points on him, when Curry was asked about his best defender in the interview, he also reported that Holiday Di's name, this is a defender who can force him out very successfully in every matchup.

Curry controlled the ball to face Holiday, and after advancing to the frontcourt with the ball, he signaled his teammates to open up space and prepare for singles.

With a quick change of direction in front of his body, Curry passed half of Holiday's body and rushed into the penalty area in a straight line. It wasn't that Curry's fake move was so realistic, but his shooting threat was too great. Holiday was on the defensive end. The priority judgment is whether to prevent the throw or not to prevent the sudden attack.

Curry's shot has no dead ends, Griffin did not dare to answer the question, and immediately stepped forward to defend, but Curry was already prepared. He stopped abruptly and pretended to shoot, and the tricked Griffin leaned back and forth and squeezed under the opponent, passing back to Chaser Green who was inserted in the middle. Olynyk could only use a foul to stop Green's aggressive dunk.

However, Olynyk's actions were a bit dirty. His action of stopping Green made Green's center of gravity unstable when he landed. He took several steps forward to stabilize his body, and almost hit the cameraman on the sidelines.

In the national live broadcast of the Christmas game, if there is any conflict, the league will definitely take heavy penalties. In order to prevent the incident from becoming a big deal, Curry ran to Green at the first time. Unexpectedly, Green did look at his elder brother with a smile. It's well under control, with no signs of rage.

How smart is Green? How could he be willing to exchange money with a small character like Olynik, why would he have to replace a Griffin?

After watching the replay, the referee only called an ordinary foul, but he still warned the Thunder players to pay attention to the scale of action, and there will be severe punishment next time. At the same time, even the Nets' style of vengeance also warned Stevens that in the Christmas game, the villain should be the villain before the gentleman.

Green made two free throws and Westbrook grabbed the Tomahawk rebound, then quickly pushed for a fast break, and was directly hugged by JR, preventing Westbrook from bringing the rhythm up.

In a positional battle attack, Westbrook made a mid-range shot after the pick-and-roll to overtake the score. If it is said that Westbrook still had more or less scruples when Durant was there, then now, no one can restrain Westbrook. In this round of offense, the other Thunder players didn't even touch the ball.

The Nets pulled away, leaving only Leonard to play Ariza in the low post. Ariza suffered a disadvantage compared to Leonard in terms of strength and confrontation, and was pushed into the inside to score.

Griffin spared no effort to run and finally was able to catch the ball at the top of the penalty area. In the past few years, he has added a lot of skill points to dribbling. A flexible change of direction shook Green and scored a layup with his left hand.

During the Clippers period, Griffin actually didn't take much advantage of Green. Most of the time, it is Monroe, Randolph, and AJ who beat Green more ruthlessly, such insiders with strong post-up ability. Whether Griffin can continue to score such wonderful goals throughout the game determines the Thunder's chances of winning this game.

Back on the offensive end, the pick-and-roll cooperation between Curry and Green was effective again. Curry's backrun threw away Holiday's defense, and Westbrook who was nearby made up the defense in time but missed JR in the corner. Hit a three-pointer.

In fact, Curry can shoot this ball by himself, but it is also very smart to share the ball more at the beginning and mobilize the enthusiasm of his teammates. As the media's hype became louder, Curry himself may have realized that the key to winning the MVP this season is not entirely personal data. Whether the Nets can break the record of 72 wins and 10 losses is equally important. In order to participate in as many games as possible, Curry needs to reduce some unnecessary losses in his own game, and he needs to give up the ball when it is time for his teammates to perform.

Looking back, Holiday singled Curry and missed a throw. Porzingis grabbed the rebound and sent a pass to start a fast break. Leonard caught the ball in the frontcourt and failed to control it. Steal, but before Ariza had time to play the ball, he was about to pass the ball but was intercepted by Leonard, and the movement was clean. Before Ariza could react, Leonard had already reached the basket and completed the dunk against Olynik.

The All-Star voting has already begun. In the Eastern Conference forward position, apart from James, Anthony temporarily ranks second. In fact, Anthony’s performance this season is not good. Leonard’s statistics and role are all above him. I want to fight for the first one.

It's just, no way, fans are superficial.
