"Is it because it's Christmas Eve? Why do the two sides keep giving fans and friends such wonderful and magical goals? ”

"Kobe Bryant hit the ground and passed, helping to fly Yifeng and dunk Griffin!"

"Russell smashed the board and passed, brilliant creativity, ignited the rocket of DeAndre Jordan flying in the sky!"

"Yi Feng suddenly suffered a back attack, and after losing his balance, he still hit a super difficult magical high-hitting board layup!"

"Could it be that this magical Christmas fight, like my Tracy McGrady, is a legend destined to go down in history?"

"Enough, Tracy, I've been listening to you talk about yourself all night!" Mike Brin can't stand Maddie's narcissism, "I'm going to call the police if you do this again!" ”

The old man Hubby Brown smiled and said: "Only if you love yourself will you love others, young man, you are doing well!" Hahaha-"

"I don't know if tonight's game will go down in history, but it's a lot of attention. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"According to the data fed back from the headquarters, among the five Christmas games arranged by the league this year, the first game between the Heat and Daigo was 2.3% in the United States, including 4.1% in Miami and 5.3% in New Orleans."

"The Bulls vs. Thunder game has a national rating of 4.0%, including 12.1% in the Oklahoma area, which is worthy of being a small city, and the proportion of fans in the total population is higher; The Chicago area was 8.4 percent. ”

"Of the five Christmas games, the most watched game, the Cleveland Cavaliers' away game against the Golden State Warriors, had a national rating of 6.7%, which means that on Christmas Day, there were 11 million Americans who followed the game at the same time! In addition, the game also had high ratings in the Cleveland area, reaching 21.2 percent, and the San Francisco area also had a 16.0 percent rating. ”

"The other game of the Rockets vs. Spurs had a national rating of 2.5 percent, including 3.8 percent in the Houston area and 6.9 percent in the San Antonio area."

"Of the four Christmas games that have ended, the one that has attracted the most attention is the one that people expected early on, the Cavaliers vs. Warriors. And the lowest rating is the showdown between the Heat and Daigo. In fact, it is reasonable that there are few people watching this game. Since LeBron made Decision 2 and left Miami, the Heat are no longer the most watched team in the league; And on Daigo's side, except for Anthony Davis, the second person in the league rated by our ESPN, there is no role that is a headache for opponents. And Anthony hasn't played a game to prove himself this season. ”

"With the Heat at the bottom of this game, the game we are commentating on tonight will not be the least popular one in any way. Surprisingly, judging from the latest feedback data, its ratings seem to have a trend towards the Cavaliers vs. Warriors, and perhaps it will be the most popular one! ”

Mike Brin was a little surprised, "So amazing? I'll take a look! ”

He also looked at the data, "At the beginning of the game, the ratings were only 1.5%, which was the lowest among the five games; But then the ratings went all the way up, reaching 4.2% by halftime! At this time, the ratings of this game have climbed to second place. ”

"And it's easy to see that in the first half, there were a couple of small peaks in the ratings for this game. Among them, the highest peak reached 5.3%, which corresponds to the time when the Yifeng Barrier Griffin was in place. ”

Maddie wisely analyzed: "This shows an obvious problem, this game is the one that fans are least optimistic about, but as the game between the Lakers and the Clippers becomes more and more exciting, and even some magical goals appear repeatedly, fans are gradually attracted to this game." ”

"And it's also very important that this game is the latest in time. As the finale of Christmas Eve arranged by the Alliance, it has its own special advantages. The rest of the Christmas game is over, so the focus of the fans naturally shifted to this game, which is why its ratings have been rising. ”

Mike Brin looked at Maddie in surprise, "I didn't expect you to have the talent to be a data analyst." ”

Maddie was proud, "I said a long time ago that I am destined to go down in history, and I have the best talent in every aspect......"

“stop！！！”

Mike Brin seemed a little hysterical, he now regretted it very much, how could he be so cheap as to praise a person who is hopelessly narcissistic?

"You don't have to think about it, no one will want to partner with you and explain the game together in the future, because you are too bad!"

Maddie: "Then you're really unlucky, the headquarters decided to let you be my long-term partner. ”

Mike Brin: "No, absolutely not! I will never partner with you! I'm going to complain to the headquarters! ”

Hubby Brown's eyes flashed with a hint of insightful wisdom, and a bunch of enemies who seemed to be so incompatible were not a perfect pair of seamless matches.

The race continued, but Russell suddenly ran out of momentum. His hatred seemed to have gone down the drain after that block failed. He seems to have an insight into God's injustice as Creator, and he has little resentment about it.

In a word, Russell seems to have resigned himself to his fate.

Without the support of positivity, his performance on the court plummeted: on the defensive end, he became a colander in front of Yi Feng, and every time he had to go inside to help him make up for defense and wipe his buttocks; On the offensive end, he played the health ball gently, and he didn't run actively, so that he couldn't even find anyone to pass the ball to Paul.

Russell used his performance to portray himself as the "sixth man" on the Lakers' court, and the situation of six to four made the Clippers unable to parry. The seven-point advantage they had built up at the start of the second half was erased not long after.

If the Clippers can respond and adjust quickly at this time, then the Lakers will not have a chance to overtake the score and extend the lead.

However, Doug Rivers, known as the "champion coach", is a stubborn and inflexible person. Because of this, he is now being questioned and blamed. This is a bad situation that has never been seen in his 15 years of coaching.

From last season's 3-1 lead in the series with the Rockets, to the Clippers with a strong lineup now, they can only find pleasure in the weak team, and the outside world has to have other thoughts about this 55-year-old man who is often bruised and aggressive.

Before tonight's Christmas game, the Clippers had lost to the Spurs, Rockets and Thunder in a row, and "enjoyed" three consecutive defeats.

Not to mention losing to strong teams like the Spurs and Thunder that can qualify for the championship, but even the Rockets, the opponent who eliminated them in the Western Conference semifinals last season, lost! You must know that the current Rockets are not the Rockets of last season.

Ideas don't always come out of nowhere, but Doug's coaching approach this season is a bit confusing.

In the past two years, the Clippers have been known to have been weak on the bench. In the face of no one available, Reeves' desperate use of the main force is also a forgivable and helpless move.

However, after this summer, the joining of many good players made the Clippers' bench strength jump to the forefront of the league all of a sudden, and the phenomenon of smart women making it difficult to cook without rice disappeared. But Rivers, the meritorious coach, did not play every deck of cards as seriously as imagined, and there are always big problems with the run-in and tactical coordination of the Clippers lineup, so that now they always suffer against strong teams.

Reeves' usual starting lineup roughly continues the lineup of the past two years, with Paul + Redick + Griffin + Jordan Jr. + the No. 3 position with frequent substitutions.

In this lineup, Paul and Griffin pressed the lineup, Redick ran without the ball and waited for opportunities to attack, Jordan Jr. defended the inside, and the only uncertain thing was the No. 3 position.

The first four have proven themselves to be good enough players in the past, and even if Redick does have problems on the defensive end, he can make up for it with his offensive firepower.

But at the No. 3 position, the Clippers have never been able to find a worthy warrior. Since trading Matt Barnes, Reaves has struggled to find a suitable replacement, from the experienced veteran Paul Pierce, to the talented Lance Stephenson, and from the high-profile Wesley Johnson to the last resort, the Clippers have changed four starting small forwards in the first 30 games of the season.

But even with such frequent substitutions, in Reeves's heart, he never found a satisfactory candidate. Pierce is too old, Stephenson has too little presence, Wesley Johnson is prone to mistakes on the defensive end, and Bamot has no chance to prove himself.

Especially in the past month, the shortage of forward positions has made the Clippers suffer, and the Clippers have exposed a lot of shortcomings in this regard when facing the opponent's strong desire to attack the No. 3 position.

From the tall Rudy Gay to Demarre Carroll, from the accurate Harrison Barnes on the outside to the frequent scoring Gordon Hayward, it has become the norm for the Clippers to be blown up by opponents on the wing. And tonight, Bamot also failed to prove that he could defend Kobe.

But compared with the adjustment of the starters, the most criticized thing about Reeves is his pinch of the bench.

Since the start of the season, the Clippers head coach has liked a "five-up, five-down" lineup. It's rare for the main players to mix and match with the substitutes, and the boundaries between them are clear. Among the four main players who have Russell as the leader like tonight, the number of appearances is unique.

Often, between the two minutes near the end of the first quarter and the beginning of the second quarter, Reeves likes to line up a combination of Russell + Jamal Crawford + Wesley Johnson + Pierce Sr. + Josh Smith during the period between the two minutes before the end of the first quarter and the beginning of the second quarter.

As for the only player on the Clippers team who has the most special relationship with Rivers, Austin Rivers plays as a "sixth man" in this lineup. Rivers Jr. played 22 minutes, the seventh-most minutes the Clippers had. But in fact, this does not match his ability. But as head coach, Rivers has the right to schedule more playing time for his son. This is also one of the points that many people criticize Rivers, who does not distinguish between the two roles of head coach and father.

The disadvantages of this combination are the lack of mobility, poor defense, and total offensive disconnection.

While Crawford's individual prowess is top-notch, his sporadic shooting percentages and paranoid compulsion to shoot are often double-edged swords for the team, and he rarely resonates with his teammates on the court. But fortunately, Russell still has some organizational skills, and when he is on the court, it will not make the Clippers fall into the embarrassment of "offense only looks at Crawford".

It's an indisputable fact that the old Pierce feels that the years are unforgiving, and you can't expect much from a 38-year-old veteran. Although tonight's opponent of the Clippers is an old guy who thinks he is 37 years old but "dead wood".

What's even more poignant is probably Josh Smith, who has a physical and No. 3 style of play at the No. 4 position, and after coming to the Clippers, he has transformed into a full-time interior defense and a three-point center! That's definitely not what he came to the Clippers for!

Originally, this lineup was not too bad, and when they competed against the substitute group of the weak team, they were quite competitive. But Rivers often plugged his son into this lineup as the main control!

Although Rivers Jr. has a certain breakthrough ability, but after encountering physical confrontation, the lethality is less than half, although he is called a playmaking guard, but this season's average of 1.1 assists per game seems to be a big joke. And when he defends against the opponent's blocking and demolition tactics, it is even more miserable!

It was clear that Rivers as head coach was using the wrong people. Lance Stephenson has proven himself capable, but he's all but out of service with the Clippers.

How to get Rivers out of the role of the great father and become a sober head coach has become a topic of discussion among many fans. But his stubbornness will obviously postpone the much-anticipated conversion of this Clippers fan indefinitely.

Like tonight, on a whim, he wanted to give Russell a chance to perform, and as a result, no matter how Russell behaved on the court, he had to give him enough time. He stubbornly kept his "promise" that did not exist.

So this gave the Lakers a chance to overtake and widen the gap in one fell swoop!

In this wave of counterattacks, Yi Feng and Kobe Bryant took turns to exert their strength, punching the weakness of the Clippers' second and third positions, even if the Clippers have thick blood, they can't withstand the Lakers' greetings.

After the second half of the game entered the rotation, the Clippers trailed by 11 points at 62-73. Russell, lost in his fate, was finally replaced, and Clippers fans sitting in front of the TV breathed a sigh of relief.

But they didn't take it easy for long.

The Lakers' bench played very energetically in the rotation time, Nance Jr. was a mid-range shot and a dunk, scoring 7 points alone, Blanton Buss also contributed 4 points, and the Clippers actually suffered on the inside. In addition, Louis Williams also hit two jumpers, Nick Young also hit a three-pointer, and the bench groups of both sides played 11:18 in rotation time!

This is a lot of fun, the total score of the two teams has become 73:91, and the Clippers have fallen behind by 18 points!

No one could have imagined that the first half was still a wonderful and evenly matched game, but in the second half, the situation suddenly changed and was about to evolve into a hanging fight with a huge disparity!

Rivers hurriedly replaced the main team, and the team's decline stopped, and when the second and third positions still couldn't prevent the Lakers' offense. The Clippers attacked the Lakers' interior weakness, while the Lakers played the Clippers' second and third positions for seven inches, and the two teams hurt each other for a while, and the point difference was still stable above 10 points.

Seeing that the game time was getting less and less, Rivers actually replaced Redick with Stephenson! Although Stephenson couldn't match Redick in offense, his defense was enough to throw Redick off several streets.

Rivers' temporary change of formation was indeed quite effective, and Yi Feng's offense was not a small challenge. Bryant's physical strength slipped into the fourth quarter, and his offense began to gradually become inaccurate, and the Clippers already saw hope of narrowing the difference.

But providence made people, and Rivers woke up too late. Stephenson came on with less than three minutes left in the game, and the Clippers were still trailing by as many as 13 points.

Although the Lakers' offense was heavily blocked by the opposing team, they cleverly played a war of attrition, and the offense focused on success rate while consuming as much time as possible.

Although Rivers tried to exchange fouls for the ball, the Lakers made free throws one by one! The ball is in hand, but the opponent is still so far ahead......

For more than two minutes, there are not many offensive rounds, and the Lakers players are obscene everywhere to hide and not let you catch them, the Clippers can't even foul in the shortest time, and in the end they can only "have the intention to kill the thief and have no power to return to the sky".

With the score of 98-106, the Lakers held the lead at home until the end and eventually won the Christmas game. Although it didn't win much, it finally ended a seven-game losing streak against the Clippers in recent years, which can be regarded as a puff of pride! (To be continued.) )
