Chapter 320: We Are Pioneers!

"Holy!" Clippers coach Vinnie DeNagro cursed when he saw Contney Lee score the ball. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The Clippers' defense was already very good at that goal, and even Anjie, the offensive starting point, was restricted. However, that damn Contney Lee suddenly came out of nowhere, undoing the Clippers' otherwise successful defense.

Seeing that the score was stretched again, De Nagro immediately called a timeout. With Paul on board this season, the Clippers are intended

How can he be the master of Los Angeles and lose to the Trail Blazers twice in a row!

At the time of the timeout, the Rose Garden fans gave Contney Lee a round of applause. Here, only by speaking with strength can you gain respect. However, Contney Lee's performance today undoubtedly impressed the Trail Blazers fans.

It wasn't until the players were ready on the bench that Ricard spoke. In the last two and a half minutes, the trailing Clippers did not want to lose, and the leading Trail Blazers were even more unwilling to lose at home.

"At the last minute, I'll bring up all the starting five. Of course, if anyone doesn't behave well, I won't hesitate to let him come back to rest. "Now, the presence of Conteney Lee and Jamal Crawford has created a good atmosphere of competition within the team. The players know that if they don't perform well, Ricard has someone at his disposal to replace him.

Conteny Lee will not be unhappy that Ricard has replaced him at a crucial moment, because he has already adapted to the role, he knows what he has to do, he knows what he belongs to.

"Of course, at the last moment, I don't want to see An Jie go too much inside singles! You are a unit, you have to connect together. I'm not saying that Ann can't play this tactic on the inside, I'm telling you, don't rely on Ann! Everybody has to run actively, everybody has to play your part! If you can do that and you lose, I'm going to fucking quit!" Ricard couldn't help but squirt expletives as he spoke, but the Trail Blazers players were used to it.

The long timeout ended quickly, and De Nagro couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw all the Trail Blazers' starting five on the court. He hopes that the players can execute what he has assigned, because these five guys in front of him are really not so easy to beat.

The two-and-a-half-minute countdown began, and Chris Paul steadily advanced the ball, and Felton didn't dare to stick too hard, he was afraid that Paul would pass himself in just one step.

Paul is not the kind of guard who has a particularly strong desire to score, and organizing the team's offense is what Paul likes to do. A lot of stars shoot against defense, but Paul rarely does.

He could now get past Felton in ten different ways, but what would happen after the breakthrough? Therefore, he will not choose to break through rashly when he plays reasonably. After all, Anjie's defense is too threatening. Efficiency, that's what Chris Paul is looking for.

Paul observed the Trail Blazers' defensive positioning, then made a gesture to determine the tactics the Clippers would use to attack this time.

Paul ordered that even a big man like DeAndre Jordan had to be obedient. He immediately mentioned high post to block Paul, but Anjie did not follow up and continued to stay in the penalty area, because Jordan Jr.'s threat in the high post was almost equal to zero.

"Sure enough!" Paul has long known that Anjie will defend the basket, which means that this offense The Clippers should avoid running into Anjie under the basket as much as possible. However, they can take advantage of Anjie's crowded space in the restricted area after staying under the basket to slip to the baseline and shoot a three-pointer, which is the Clippers' best option to chase points at the moment.

Seeing Chris Paul break through to the designated position, last season's Mavericks' champion Caron Butler tacitly slipped to the baseline, and sure enough, the tight space on the inside made Gerard Wallace's follow-up pace greatly slow. With a flick of the wrist, Chris Paul comfortably received the ball.

Gerard Wallace was about to give up, but he looked at Conteny Lee sitting on the bench, and the guy's good performance today was enough for Ricard to give him more playing time. But at the critical moment, Rickard still sent himself up. Whether it's to repay the coach's trust or to cement his starting position, Gerard Wallace can't afford to go wrong in this defense!

So "Elvis" forced a way out of the interior line and successfully completed the interference before Butler made a move. Butler, who turned to shoot after receiving the ball, thought that there would be no one in front of him, but was startled by Gerard Wallace, who suddenly jumped into his sight. In such a situation, Butler's shooting rhythm was greatly disrupted, and this shot, which was originally a good opportunity, also came to an end in the sound of iron.

"Damn!" Chris Paul has done everything he can, his passing is precise and the timing is just right. But his teammates just can't shoot, and he can't do anything about it.

Anjie stood out from the crowd and picked up defensive rebounds on the heads of two spring men, DeAndre Jordan and Griffin. Compared to bouncing, Angel is no better than any of them. But with Angel stuck in position, Griffin and Jordan Jr. couldn't even jump, and their super bounce power was useless.

Felton didn't push as fast as Paul after receiving Anjie's pass, and the Trail Blazers are a positional offense-oriented team, and an inappropriate quick push will only make them mess up.

With the ball trotted to a 45° angle on the left side of the three-point line, Filton really began to plan the Trail Blazers' offense.

Angel, the heart of the Trail Blazers, is Felton's top target. All tactics must first be customized around Anjie.

But this time, An Jie didn't open his hand to ask for the ball. This meant that Anjie was not yet in a comfortable receiving position, and it was true that DeAndre Jordan's relentless pushing made it difficult for Anjie to stand still. Rushing to ask for the ball will only increase the risk of mistakes.

Seeing this, Felton immediately took control of the ball and ran. Opportunity can only arise when everyone is running.

Wesley Matthews suddenly started from the bottom corner and circled the three-point line to get close to Felton. Felton suddenly stopped dribbling at the top of the three-point arc, handed the ball to Matthews, and by the way, hung up a block for Matthews, slowing down Billups' follow-up footsteps.

But this small gap is not enough for Matthews to get rid of the cunning Billups. After winning the ball, Matthews did not use his good stop-and-go jump shot to attack the frame, but dribbled the ball all the way in, and let Anjie control the ball with a single hit.

Everyone on the Clippers team is nervous, no matter what the situation, in what position, as long as Anjie has the ball, it is a threat.

However, the experienced Billups noticed that something was wrong, and after handing over the ball, Matthews did not stop running, but went around a big circle from Anjie and ran outside the three-point line. In this attack, the end point is definitely not in Anjie!

Just when Billups was still chasing Matthews, Aldridge's off-ball block suddenly crossed Billups' defensive line.

Billups couldn't react and was completely blocked by Aldridge. And what about Griffin? He didn't care about Matthews outside the three-point line, all his attention was now on Anjie!

"It's done!" An Jie saw that Matthews, who had run for a whole half, was finally in place, and immediately held the ball to face the frame. Jordan Jr. waited for him, and Griffin quickly shrank to the basket. Unexpectedly, An Jie made a strong pass, so that the basketball flew outside the three-point line again.

"It's Matthews!" Billups, who finally got rid of the pick-and-roll, shouted, and immediately ran out to jump to interfere. But now it's too late to do this, Matthews, who received Anjie's pass, didn't hesitate and shot a three-point shot. It's what he does best, there's nothing to hesitate about!

"Wesley~~~~ Matthews!" The DJ immediately shouted out the name of the goalscorer, and did not forget to add: "An Jie's assist." ”

"Ann didn't do anything alone, and he held back the defense of the two men on the inside of the Clippers. If Griffin had switched defenses in time, Matthews wouldn't have had room to shoot at all. It's a pity that Griffin's nerves are already overtense because of An Jie. Matthews' side was so empty that he didn't even see it. This guy must be all about Anjie in his head now, what a terrible containment force!" Although Matthews went around the entire half to get a chance to hit a three-pointer, as long as he can score, no matter how embarrassing the scene is, it will be worth it.

With Matthews' three-point shot, the Trail Blazers officially stretched the margin to double digits. With just over a minute left in the game, the Clippers' chances are getting slimmer.

At this point, even Chris Paul will start to get anxious. After his teammates repeatedly hit the iron, Paul decided to play his own to stabilize the situation first.

After a simple pick-and-roll combination, Paul made a mid-to-long-range shot. This guy is always able to work miracles, but unfortunately not today.

"Chris Paul missed a shot and the Clippers missed another chance. As soon as Kenny Smith finished speaking, Anjie made a long pass from the backcourt and let Wesley Matthews, who was running at the front, get the basketball.

Griffin is trying his best to chase back, the offense can't work, he has to at least save face on the defensive end!

Matthews did rise in the air in the face of the empty basket, but Griffin jumped higher behind him! But Matthews didn't dunk the ball, but passed it backwards in the air, allowing the ball to come to Aldridge, who was following quickly.

Aldridge let out a low roar and kicked his legs to take the air third behind Matthews and Griffin. But this time, Aldridge became the real finisher. He dunked the ball into the basket, causing the entire Rose Garden fans to stand up and scream.

12 points! Anjie's accurate backcourt long pass pierced the whole court, making the Clippers, who are known for their maneuverability, unguardable.

The Clippers are back, but they're noticeably much weaker. At the critical moment, Paul's throw still played a role, the ball not only passed over An Jie's fingertips, but also fell into the net accurately. But this offense took the Clippers 20 seconds.

Felton controlled the tempo and consumed some time. After that, he beckoned to Anjie to block and dismantle.

Anjie immediately mentioned high and Aldridge read the game and pulled it out to the middle distance. As a result, Griffin and Jordan Jr. were both pulled out of the three-second zone!

Felton's speed was not as fast as Paul's, but with his stronger body and Anjie's perfect blocking, Felton still made up for his lack of speed and successfully entered the interior.

After getting inside, Filton shook off the inexperienced and now brain-hot Griffin with a jump, and after that, he scored two more points for the Trail Blazers with ease.

With just 30 seconds to go, Chris Paul had to give it his hands to regain his hopes of victory.

He made a foul on Filton with skillful technical moves from beyond the three-point line, and Filton knew that he had been deceived and had already stopped, but he still could not escape the fate of violating the cylinder under Paul's positive "foul". What's even more surprising is that Paul's violated three-point shot also hit!

"This is Chris Paul!" Kenny Smith was so excited that he almost got up from his seat, and the top point guard is just the one who can turn the tide when it matters most!

Then, Paul's free throw shot was still solid. With 22 seconds left, there are still 8 minutes left. The Clippers still have a theoretical chance of winning!

In the end, the Clippers used a full-court tight defensive strategy to force the Trail Blazers to make a mistake on the baseline ball. But at this time, Riccard arranged for Anjie to receive the ball in the backfield, and Aldridge served.

This strange trick is beyond the imagination of most people, including the three commentators of T.NT. Even O'Neal, an old man, has not had a few opportunities to catch the ball in the backcourt in his career.

Rickard knows that others can really make mistakes when the Clippers are pressing. But Anjie will never let that happen!

Anjie leaned on Jordan Jr. and opened his hand, Aldridge sent the ball high, Chris Paul saw the opportunity to intercept it halfway, but the ball was passed too high, and no one could touch it except Anjie.

There was no way, Jordan Jr. had no choice but to foul An Jie immediately. An Jie was also sent to the free throw line because of this.

"No, Shaq, this guy is more than twice as good at free throws as you are. In front of this guy, the shark cutting tactic is completely useless. While praising Anjie, Barkley did not forget to make fun of O'Neal's embarrassing free-throw shooting percentage.

Sure enough, with the cooperation of the fans at the Rose Garden Stadium. Angel hit both free throws in a quiet environment, completely erasing the Clippers' hopes of victory.

In the end, Chris Paul hit another incredible three-pointer. But this goal came a little too late.

97-105, Rose Garden has one more opponent's corpse. But today, the Clippers were not defeated by Anjie, but by the Trail Blazers!

Conteney Lee's step-up, Gerald Wallace's aggressive follow-up, Wesley Matthews' accurate three-pointers, Aldridge's brave dunk, and Raymond Felton's well-timed jump. Of course, Anjie's perfect strategy and tough defense, as well as solid free throws in the final moments, were the key to the Trail Blazers' complete killing of the game.

Do you know why the Rose Garden is terrifying? Not because of An Jie, but because the owner here is called the Pioneer, the leader of the Pioneers, who can connect everyone!

7-2! The Trail Blazers have once again added a win to themselves and are further advancing toward the playoffs.
