In the first battle against the Bulls, the Clippers established an absolute advantage in three quarters. The fourth quarter was completely used to run-in for the two rookies Blake and Outlaw. In the end, they still won by 21 points. Su Yang personally got 15 assists .
After the game, the Clippers flew to the Denver Plateau overnight to start a seven-game trip.
Many media believe that this wave of seven-game winning streak can truly show the ceiling of the Clippers' strength, because the season has entered the second half, and the attention of each team has increased. , There are four strong teams that have basically determined their places in the playoffs, and there are three back-to-backs on the schedule, which can be regarded as a test of the playoffs level.
The Clippers coaching staff and management also attached great importance to this seven-game streak, but first of all, they did not consider the record, but asked to avoid the players from being injured due to overwork.
After Su Yang heard the news, he suggested that Van Gundy use some reasons such as hip muscle tension. It sounds like a problem that affects the state of the game, but it is difficult to confirm it through medical means. The key is not to issue a certificate.
Van Gundy was quite satisfied with Su Yang's proposal. He followed suit with hard-to-explain reasons such as sore arm, forgetting to submit the team list, and poor mental state, and planned to use it every once in a while.
On the evening of the 21st, the Clippers team arrived at the Pepsi Center to challenge the Nuggets away.

The Clippers left Washington that night and flew to Boston overnight to play back-to-back games against the Celtics.
Perhaps because they were angry with the results of the last game, the Celtics put up a strong defense at the beginning, and the Clippers also responded with a zone defense. Pierce and Su Yang respectively supported the two teams to score, and the first quarter ended 19-17 .
Not too many fouls and free throws, just pure iron-blooded defense, almost every attack takes nearly 24 seconds, and the total number of shots is also 20 times, and the Clippers rarely only take 4 three-pointers.
In the second quarter, the situation did not change much. At halftime, the Clippers trailed by 1 point.
After a break, the situation changed suddenly. Su Yang defended Rondo and got two fouls in a row. Van Gundy tried his best not to replace him, but was called another offensive foul. The Clippers' offense completely collapsed.
Fortunately, the Celtics lacked offensive firepower and only led by 7 points after three quarters. Su Yang came on the court as soon as the fourth quarter started.

The coaching staff made a detailed plan on how to limit Love.

As a result, Flynn was liberated, and by cooperating with Al Jefferson to score consecutively, the Clippers were a little difficult to handle for a while. Fortunately, Captain Brewer made [-] of [-] shots in the first quarter, and the two teams entered the second quarter with a tie.
The Clippers came to their senses, resorted to a partial three-defense and two-two routine, and directly cut Flynn's personal score.
The Timberwolves' offense was also affected, while the Clippers played more and more smoothly, leading by [-] points at halftime.
The situation in the second half of the game remained the same. Love played as a substitute and did not perform at all. The Clippers won 111 to 97.
After the Timberwolves, the team flew to Cleveland.
Taking advantage of the rest of the day, Su Yang accepted the invitation to visit LeBron's house and taste a different version of burritos. The news that the two will join hands next season spread again on social networks.

In the second quarter of the game, the two sides collectively misfired, and the Clippers evened the difference with the advantage of the bench.
After the halftime break, Su Yang resumed his strong performance, but LeBron lost his touch, and the Clippers took an 8-point lead.
It's a pity that in the fourth quarter, O'Neal briefly returned to the top, blasting the Clippers inside alone, and LeBron's strong performance, he just obliterated Su Yang's 16 points in a single quarter. The Clippers finally lost 113-115 regrettably.
At the end of the game, LeBron and Su Yang bumped shoulders and hugged each other, whispering to each other for a long time.
