Chapter 318 Special for Big Scenes
Leaving Minnesota, the Clippers flew to Indiana on a special plane to get two days off.
Due to the continuation of the record against the Timberwolves, there are more and more discussions in the major NBA media about whether Su Yang can equal Chamberlain, and the Pacers, as a weak team, make all parties infinitely optimistic about Su Yang breaking the record to 12 games.
The major gaming companies in Las Vegas made bets. Judging from the betting odds, the actuaries are infinitely optimistic about Su Yang. The reason is that in the last three games of the Clippers, only the Knicks can be called a strong opponent, but the Knicks mainly play Run and bomb, defensive deviation.
ABC Sports conducted a pre-match interview with Larry Bird and asked whether he would suggest that the team double-team Su Yang.
Bird replied that it should be something that head coach Jim O'Brien is concerned about, but from his personal point of view, the Pacers really need to target Su Yang. The inability to defeat the Clippers in the end also helps to increase the team's cohesion, which is crucial for a rebuilding team.
Granger, the main player of the Pacers, said in an interview: The Pacers' style of play is the Indiana folk style, and they will always be extremely tough. Back then, they could beat the 72-win Bulls twice, and now they can also beat the thriving Clippers.
The two people's remarks received a lot of support. It seems that except for the Clippers fans, other fans hope to see Su Yang's record terminated. If they can still beat the Clippers, it will be double happiness. The Clippers were regarded as the league's super devil for a while.

At noon on NO.19, the NBA officially updated the MVP rankings. Su Yang ranked first, followed by Derrick Rose, and LeBron, the top three MVP regulars in previous years, ranked sixth, which surprised the fans.
During team training, Su Yang also discussed with his teammates why LeBron ranked so low.
Everyone expressed their opinions. They believed that LeBron left the Cavaliers and joined the Heat at his peak age. His image in the hearts of fans and the media was damaged. Just like Kobe's accident back then, he was shunned by the media for a long time and it was difficult to get votes.
Another reason is that after the formation of the Big Three, the Heat have not shown super dominance. So far in the new season, not only have they lost to traditional strong teams like the Celtics twice, but also lost to teams like the Pacers and Grizzlies. Rebuild the team.
And defeating the Heat is why the Pacers are confident of defeating the Clippers. Anyway, there is no difference between strong teams.
On the evening of NO.20, the Clippers team rushed to the Conseco Arena to adjust the Pacers away.
In the first attack, TJ Ford teamed up with Brandon Rush to double-team, and Su Yang unceremoniously used the big ring technique to draw a foul on the three-point line, successfully got three free throws, and Brandon Rush was full Confused.
After three free throws, the Pacers launched a rush.
TJ Ford, the man who claims to be faster than Iverson, insisted on using his speed to forcefully pass Su Yang, but faced with the inside line of the Clippers, he made an emergency stop and made a jump shot. Ke fast break points.
The Pacers then slowed down and changed to attacking from the inside, but Hibbert made low-level mistakes.
The Clippers turned around and hit a 7-pointer to start 0-[-], making the Pacers coach want to call a timeout.
But for some reason, the timeout was not called until the Clippers played another 6-2.
When the timeout came back, although the offense improved slightly, TJ Ford's defense was too poor, especially in the pick-and-roll defense. Su Yang used the screen to continue to attack the inside line, making the Pacers' defense fragmented and causing fouls many times. Hibbert left the field early rest.
After the first quarter, the Clippers led by 18 points, while Su Yang scored 17 points in a single quarter.
In the second quarter of the game, Hibbert's performance recovered, and Kaman played several games in a row as a substitute.But Jermaine O'Neal returned to his old place, grabbed the 'NCAA King' Hansbrough and beat him up, directly redeemed his points, and even got five more points.
By the end of the halftime game, the Clippers had already led by a full 25 points, and the game was almost about to lose suspense.
The Pacers did not give up, came back from the halftime break, James Posey and TJ Ford scored consecutively.
The audience also cheered, but Su Yang quickly locked Ford, and the Pacers fell into a scoring drought.
Danny Granger tried various things, but was restricted by rookie Paul George many times, and the fourth quarter became garbage time.
In the end, the Clippers won 107-81, Su Yang scored 41 points, and the number of consecutive games increased to 12.

The key is that the opponent's Wizards have very average defensive strength.
On Twitter, there are more and more rumors about a three-way deal between the Rockets, Lakers, and Hornets. The general plan is that the Lakers will get Bynum and Artest, the Rockets will get draft picks and a few potential role players, and the Hornets will get Paul.
ESPN reporters broke the news and claimed that many bosses in the league did not agree with the deal before, but considering that the Lakers got Paul to compete against the Clippers, especially to deflate Donald Sterling, they were also happy to see it, not to mention the Big Three of the Heat.
After a day off, the Clippers rushed to the Barclays Center to challenge the Nets away.
During the warm-up before the game, Su Yang found his old college teammate Lopez to chat about the old days, and joked that he should make room. After all, it is not easy to score 12+ points in 40 consecutive games in his career.
The two smiled knowingly, but after the match started, they also spared no effort.
Su Yang attacked the inside line in the first attack and caused Anthony Morrow to make a supplementary foul, followed by stealing Morrow, launched a fast break and caused Morrow's second foul. In less than 2 minutes, Morrow was dismissed, and the Nets outside Offensive firepower plummeted.
Lopez took advantage of the mid-range shots to keep his face down on Jordan, and the score between the two teams failed to open for a while.
But the Nets were tough for one quarter. After the second quarter, a group of substitutes performed quite well. No. 11 pick Derek Favors was blown away by Paul George. When the main players of the two teams came on the field, the Clippers were already leading by [-]. point.
Lopez quickly started the scoring rhythm, hitting back from the waist, hooking at the basket, and scoring various points.Su Yang also continued to attack the inside line, and soon the center and forward of the Nets, including Lopez, were all fouled at least three times.
