"We lost to ourselves today. We let them win a regular season victory and temporarily gave up first place." Ji Guoxiong still refused to give up easily after the game. He emphasized: "I think everyone knows that 82 regular season games are a long marathon, and the leader usually consumes more energy, so when you think about it, we can easily find that most championship teams are not the first in the division, just like we did last season. Since the Spurs like to grab the first place, let them go, we don't care."

After this game, it is obvious that their lineup this season was restrained by the Spurs. If Ginobili returns from injury, the Clippers' backcourt advantage will be gone today. This season, the Spurs have the advantage in the inside and are not inferior to the Clippers on the outside. If two teams meet in the playoffs, the Clippers will definitely not get any benefits.

In this game, Ji Guoqiu scored 8 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, Ji Guomiang scored 19 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Billups scored 20 points and 6 assists, and Crawford scored 15 points.

After the Clippers lose to the Spurs, they will travel to Oklahoma on November 20 to challenge the Oklahoma City Thunder who seduced Artest in the summer. Last season they were called Seattle Supersonics.

Before the start of the season, Oklahoma City owner Corrett, the consortium of Oklahoma City reached a final agreement with the Seattle city government about the relocation of the former Supersonics to Oklahoma City. The Supersonics moved out of Seattle in the new season and settled in Oklahoma City, but the team name and team color were not taken away.

Artest faced last season's savior, which was a good gimmick. And the Thunder's record this season is good. Currently, 5 wins and 5 losses ranks 9th in the West.

However, in the game against the 76ers a week ago, Artest was punished for a second-level malicious foul after being maliciously hit his opponent and was suspended for 3 games. This game is Artest's second ban, so the expected match will not happen today. However, the Clippers will play three games with the Thunder this season, Artest will face his old master sooner or later.

The Thunder, led by new coach Scott Brooks, still hovered near the playoff goal this season, but their performance this season has been much better than last season, with four outstanding players, Westbrook, Durant, Artest, and Jeff Green. The Thunder's record has increased significantly.

Among them, Kevin Durant, the core of the Thunder, also ranked 17th in the ESPN player list with averaging 25 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals per game.

The two core members of the Clippers, Ji Guoqiu, dropped one place due to his poor performance in the last game, and is now ranked 11th, while Ji Guomi is rising to 15th.

Not only do the two brothers rank higher than Durant, they still have advantages in personal data.

Ji Guochou averaged 21.4 points, 14.0 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 3.9 blocks, 2.9 turnovers, with a shooting percentage of 55.2%, a three-point shooting percentage of 44.6%. His free throw shooting percentage was 90.8%.

Ji Guomeng averaged 25.5 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 2.2 blocks and 2.6 turnovers per game. He shot 51.1% from the field, 43.3% from three-point shooting percentage, and 90.5% from free throws.

The Thunder were originally not as strong as the Clippers. Most of their players were rookies with outstanding potential. They had not yet realized their potential. The only experienced Artest was also banned. Therefore, the young Thunder only resisted the half-time game in this game. The Clippers seized the opportunity to hit a 11:2 attack wave in the third quarter, and quickly locked in the victory.

The two brothers took turns to bomb the Thunder's weak inside line today. Brother Panda finally released the depression of the previous game, scoring 28 points, 19 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 blocks super data. Brother Fox faced Jeff Green was also not ruthless, and his data of winning 26 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks was also impressive.

The result of this game was not unexpected. However, after the game, the Los Angeles Times broke the news and made the Clippers headline again. The former broke the news, claiming that they had obtained internal news from the Clippers. The Nuggets officially proposed the possibility of trading Billups to the Clippers today, and their bargaining chips were Allen Iverson.

The Clippers only need to pay the garbage contract between Billups and Jared Jeffries.

Of course, Old Dunleavy would not agree to such a deal proposal. Their chemistry is so good now that the psychopath would agree to this deal proposal. Besides, Iverson's annual salary is 20 million yuan, and although he only has the last year's contract, with Sterling's stingy personality, he doesn't want to pay such a large salary.

So, the one who works is just unable to understand the boss’s mind. After hearing the news, Sterling took the initiative to ask Sterling the next day, if this transaction is possible?

Old Dunleavy didn't know that Sterling was attracted to the commercial value of Iverson and felt that investment could be earned back, so this question was asked.

However, Sterling's question almost scared Old Dunleavy! A player like Iverson has no place for him at this moment. If Crawford had not come, he could still play the sixth man. But now the Clippers' lineup is complete, and the rest is to continue to work together to prepare for the playoffs to defend the title, and they don't need to trade at all.

Old Dunleavy quickly exaggerated the disadvantage of Iverson coming to the Clippers by 10,000 times, and temporarily scared Sterling's plan to trade Iverson with Billups.

However, a few days later, just as the Clippers set off for Philadelphia to challenge the 76ers, the Nuggets actually made a new trade request. They hoped to switch from the Clippers to a 20 million trade exception, and they could get Iverson without paying any player.

Old Dunleavy received this trade request and was scared again. Although they did have 20 million trade exceptions to use without paying any players, but the Clippers really don’t have the position of Iverson at this moment. Should he let Billups play a substitute? Or should he play the starting second guard?

If Iverson plays the second position without taking the tragedy of the defensive end, this little man averages nearly forty minutes of production, and Crawford's playing time will be compressed, and the locker room will be in a mess at that time!

Before Old Dunleavy led the team to Philadelphia, he quickly rejected the Nuggets' deal proposal. He prayed that Sterling would better not know about this. Because his boss seemed likely to agree to the deal, the locker room would have to be blown up by then!

On November 22, the Clippers beat the Philadelphia 76ers away. Ji Guochou scored 18 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 blocks, and Ji Guomomiya scored 24 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.

On November 23, the Clippers narrowly beat the New Jersey Nets away in overtime. Brother Pandas won a triple-double again in this game. This is Ji Guochou's third triple-double this season, and a new triple-double king has been born. Ji Guochou scored 20 points, 16 rebounds, 11 assists and 4 blocks, Ji Guochou scored 30 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks.

On November 25, the Clippers played against the Hornets away, and finally relied on Ji Guomeng's three-pointer 2.5 seconds before the end of the game to win, and narrowly defeated the New Orleans Hornets, who were missing Tyson. Chandler kicked the Queen Bee out of the top eight in the Western Conference. Ji Guochong scored 14 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks, while Ji Guomeng scored 25 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.

After the Clippers defeated the Hornets at home, they finally returned to the No. 1 position in the Western Conference. The Spurs had previously lost to the Lakers. Now the record has become 10 wins and 3 losses, while the Clippers' record is 12 wins and 2 losses.

Old Dunleavy returned to Los Angeles with three consecutive victories. He was a little happy at this time because their next opponent was the Denver Nuggets who sold Iverson all over the world during this period. He didn't know what his bastard boss was planning at the moment. Anyway, he was 10,000 people who didn't want Iverson to come to the Clippers, and the consequences were simply unimaginable.

The Nuggets have been looking for targets that can be traded since the summer, but it is difficult for Iverson to make a salary of 20 million, especially since the start of the regular season, the Nuggets' record has declined significantly compared to last season, with 6 wins and 7 losses falling to the tenth place in the Western Conference. What's even worse is that Iverson's personal data has dropped sharply this season, and he can only contribute 19 points and 7.5 assists per game in 13 games, with a shooting percentage of only 42%, and a three-point shooting percentage of only 29%.

Of course, Old Dunleavy doesn't want such a player. Billups now averages 14.8 points, 2.3 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game, shooting percentage of 44% and three-point shooting percentage of 39%.

In this comparison, the Clippers certainly had no reason to ask Iverson, but the Nuggets fell in love with the Clippers' 20 million trading exception. Not only Denver, but the Clippers' space is a great temptation for many teams. For example, the Rockets also proposed to trade the Clippers with McGrady in the summer. Of course, Old Dunleavy refused. Rockets One has long been no longer a superstar in 35 seconds, and now they are cancer like Iverson.

People outside don't know that the Warriors also wanted to exchange the Clippers' exception when using Byron Davis, and the Heat were willing to use Marion and draft picks to trade the Clippers' exception when using Marion and draft picks. What do you know what they are going to do? However, Dunleavy was very moved at the time. Marion happened to be the player that the Clippers needed to supplement at the time. Unfortunately, Sterling thought the salary was too high and the deal was not reached in the end.

The Nuggets are now very troubled by Iverson's problem. In the 2006-2007 season, Iverson's arrival did not provide substantial help to the Nuggets. His maverick style of play could not combine the entire team. That season, Iverson averaged 24.8 points and 7.2 assists per game. Although such data cannot be the same as his peak period, it can definitely be comparable to the first-class defenders in the league at that time. However, the Nuggets barely squeezed into the playoffs with a record of 45 wins and 37 losses, and were eliminated in the first round.

Last season, Iverson continued to perform all-roundly. Although the Nuggets' record improved, reaching 50 wins and 32 losses, they did not even enter the playoffs this time. At this point, the Nuggets' senior executives gradually realized that it was a beautiful mistake to introduce Iverson. Ai's style was not suitable for the Nuggets. He could not lead Denver further and could not even help the team enter the playoffs. Anthony has already expressed the idea of ​​leaving this summer. Melon doesn't want to partner with Iverson anymore.

The Nuggets' hope is Anthony, so Iverson must leave, but to this day, which team is willing to take over?
Chapter completed!
