Six minutes into the game, Stotts, who was sitting on the bench, couldn't sit still again and took the lead in making changes.

The Trail Blazers' rookies in recent seasons have only qualified starters or rotation players, and there has not been a single player who can stand on his own.

Stotts replaced 2016 rookie Jack Lehmann with veteran Ee Vendner, and it will be up to the veteran to play at key moments.

Rivers also made a corresponding adjustment, replacing Li Yang and Da Boban with Alexander and Harrell.

Coming back from a timeout, the Trail Blazers attacked.

After Lillard dribbled past halfcourt, he called his teammates to block the pick-and-roll, and Nurkic blocked Beverley with his wide body, delaying Harris' change of defense.

Lillard took the opportunity to burst into the box and hit an early small throw before Harrell, who was shrinking to help the defense, arrived.

After Li Yang went off the court, Lillard's hand began to warm up, and the Trail Blazers' backcourt double-shot began to wield.

The Clippers attacked.

The new Alexander dribbled the ball to the three-point line, suddenly straightened his waist, and his feet paused, looking like he was going to break through with the ball, but he was actually preparing to pass, and the next moment he saw his right wrist suddenly shake so much!!

The basketball flew past McCollum's ears and into Harrell's hands.

"Hey, are the Clippers' rookies so tiger?!!" McCollum was scared by the opposition's thrilling pass, and his scalp tingled.

Harrell received the ball and then quickly played the ball again, and Harris, who was in the middle range position, received the ball and threw it.

The Trail Blazers couldn't keep up with the blistering ball-passing tactics and were hit by Harris on a mid-range shot.

The next few rounds were inextricably matched, with the Clippers relying on Harris and Harrell's singles to stalemate with the Trail Blazers.

The Trail Blazers relied on the breakthrough points of the backcourt to lead the Trail Blazers to catch up with the score, and even overtook the score.

On the last offensive of the first quarter, McCollum broke through to the basket and was interfered with by Harrell's long arm, and the basketball came out of the basket.

At this point, the first quarter of the game ended, and the score on the live scoreboard was fixed at 30:34, and the Trail Blazers led by four points into the second quarter.

The fierce confrontation between the two sides in the first quarter of the game also made the fans at the scene addicted, and a small number of Clippers balls complained about Rivers' command mistakes, and did not send Li Yang to the court in time to chase points when the score was behind, so as to stabilize the situation for the team.

Li Yang, who had been resting on the bench for a long time, looked at the score behind, although he was also a little anxious, but thinking that the current training was to prepare for the playoffs, he was not so anxious.

As long as the point difference is not too big, he will lead the bench lineup to overtake the score in the second quarter, allowing fans to witness the power of the Clippers......

During the first quarter break, Rivers pretended to be calm and picked up the tactical board, waved his big hand, let all the players surround him, and began to arrange the offensive and defensive tactics in the second quarter.

At the same time, the Trail Blazers are also in full swing to arrange the defense against Li Yang in the second quarter, but he doesn't think that as long as he strangles Li Yang's offensive strength, the Clippers will collapse.

"In the first quarter, the two sides played very intensely, and Yang played six minutes before he left the game, and it seems that Rivers has other arrangements for Yang in the second quarter." Bigmouth Barkley pinched his chin and analyzed thoughtfully.

"That's right, as you can see from the first quarter of the game, Alexander's improvement has brought a big boost to the Clippers' bench strength, and the defensive end is also remarkable, taking on the defensive task as it should be."

"It seems that the Alexander that the Clippers traded in the draft this year is indeed a potential stock!!" Kenny Smith chimed in.

"Well, Young also had a long rest off the bench, and it should indeed be his turn to explode in the second quarter and lead the Clippers to a lead."

"The second quarter of the game will start soon, so let's wait and see!"

The break ended and the second quarter began.

The Clippers fielded the lineup: Young, Reed, Alexander, Scott, Harrell.

The Trail Blazers also fielded a bench lineup: Collins, Galeb Swanigan, Evan Turner, Nick Stauss Cass, Seth Curry.

Trail Blazers head coach Stotts on the sidelines couldn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of Clippers head coach Doc Rivers, so he could only draw a scoop on the gourd and calculate it.

Li Yang quickly dribbled forward, and the other four pulled outside the three-point line to make room for Li Yang to play alone.

Coming to the top of the arc, Li Yang looked up at the Trail Blazers player Evan Turner in front of him, and was in a trance for a while.

For Evan Turner, Li Yang is no stranger to it, and even a little embarrassed.

Back in the 2010 draft, point guard John Wall and guard swingman Evan Turner were two stars, and speculation about the top pick has been hovering between them.

In the end, John Wall was selected as the top pick, while Evan Turner was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers as the top pick.

Now, eight years later, John Wall is one of the best point guards in the league, a five-time All-Star; On the other hand, Turner, who was comparable to him in the draft that year, has disappeared from everyone, far from what everyone expected of him back then.

Turner's all-round ability is a bit of a "everything is loose", there are no clear advantages and disadvantages, and he is destined to be unable to make a major breakthrough in a certain technical field, which greatly limits his development.

Li Yang retracted his mind and began to dribble under his crotch continuously, looking for an opportunity to break through, Turner, who defended him, did not dare to relax for a moment, but he knew that Li Yang would wear flowers and butterfly steps, and had a strong ability to shake down defenders.

Li Yang suddenly made a big crossover, plus a feint to break to the left, shaking Turner's center of gravity, and then connecting with the dribble behind his back, quickly changing direction and breaking into the inside from the other side.

Turner continued to eat, his body was unstable, and he wanted to use his hand to grab Li Yang's arm to delay his breakthrough, but he was dodged by Li Yang's clever back dribble, and he could only watch Li Yang slip away from him and quickly rush into the penalty area.

After Li Yang broke through, there was already a flat horse in front of him, he did not stop and quickly hit the basket, and Collins, who retracted to help the defense, jumped up head-on to block Li Yang's layup.

Li Yang was not strong either, and a behind-the-back pass passed the ball to the bottom right corner, cleverly defusing the block.

After Alexander received Li Yang's wonderful pass, he learned Li Yang's posture and quickly jumped to shoot a three-point shot.

Bang Bang!!

Brush up on iron!!

Li Yang relied on excellent bounce and super long arm span under the basket, rushed to grab the rebound in the front court, and once again made a firm pass to Alexander, who took the ball and seriously aimed at the basket, this time he did not waste this opportunity again, and hit a three-point shot.

33：34。

Turning around, Taoskas dribbled to outside the three-point line, observed the Clippers' defensive strategy, and was not sure to single Li Yang, so he could only call his teammates to pick it up and play the pick-and-roll.

"What? Actually changed the guard directly? After Taoskas, who was holding the ball, and Collins finished blocking and pick-and-roll, he suddenly found that the Clippers' defenders had directly switched defenses, and they didn't even try to go around the defense.

Originally, Collins was to turn and go down after blocking Taoskas according to the usual tactics, but Li Yang, who was guarding Taoskas, pounced directly on Turner.

And Scott, who was staring at Turner, directly blocked Collins' breakthrough route, and the defense of his own was replaced by Alexander, can this still be so misplaced, how can it be like an air volleyball wheel changing positions.

Is this change of guard so decisive? What do you want me to do??

On the court, Taoskas observed that the route of the return pass was blocked, and could only force Alexander to burst to the basket, and the forced layup was interfered with by Harrell, and the basketball bounced out of the frame.

Li Yang rushed inside to grab the rebound in the backcourt, quickly pushed forward to the frontcourt, and the other four Clippers also quickly ran to the frontcourt.

Li Yang stopped outside the three-point line again, faced the Trail Blazers' two-man bag, jumped up and faked a real pass in the air, and smashed the ball to Alexander, who was ambushed at a 45° angle on the right side.

Alexander, who followed up, once again received a wonderful pass from Li Yang in the same position, faced two meters of no one on his body, and decisively pulled out a three-point shot.

"Whoosh"!

The basketball flew to the basket at great speed, cut a perfect arc in the air, and hit a three-point shot!

36：34！

The Clippers only played two rounds in the second quarter, and the score was overtaken!!
