"Yang, you played well, you don't give up when you need to score, and you remember to assist your teammates when you have the chance, it's good, I'm satisfied!!

"It's a bit of a shadow of when I played, yes, that's how I should play!"

Rivers patted Li Yang's shoulder with satisfaction, the wrinkles on his face almost smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum, although it was not him who cut down this data, but he looked extremely excited, this is the so-called honor.

Li Yang's style of play is really more and more to his liking, especially in the first quarter, which seems to let Rivers see himself as a player, offensive and defensive all-round.

Li Yang pretended to look like you understand me, but he secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, and said in his heart that if he really wants to keep fighting like this, he has to be tired to death.

Don't look at Li Yang's 17 points in a single quarter, today is indeed a change of normal, not only did he shoot very few three-point shots, he hit the basket many times, and even dunked Wall and Morris.

consumed a lot of physical strength at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and it is conceivable that in the next second quarter, Li Yang's playing time will not be too much.

After all, it is necessary to conserve stamina and prepare for the decisive battle in the second half.

After a brief pause, the second quarter continued, with the two sides unsurprisingly switching to the bench.

Li Yang sat on the bench and talked and laughed with Beverley.

The Clippers, on their part, were replaced by Reed, Alexander, Harrell, Scott and Teodosic.

For the Wizards, it's Green, Mashinmy, Oubre, Rivers Jr. and Satoransky.

In terms of bench lineups, the Clippers and the Wizards are half a pound, if it is not for the big holes on the defensive end, at least the Clippers are more than a little stronger than the Wizards.

The game started quickly.

Wizards head coach Brooks stood on the sidelines, his hands on his waist, his face a little gloomy,

Looking at the form on the field, his brows furrowed, and he was faintly worried.

Although on the surface, the Wizards are a starter with four substitutes, and the Clippers are indeed full benches.

But...... Masimmi, the starter, has no offensive ability at all, and is no different from the bench!!

Masimmi is a qualified basket protector at best, but the reed across the street was the league's best sixth man last season and the Clippers' leading scorer last season.

Before coming to the Clippers, he had already won the best sixth man once during the Raptors, and won such an award last season, it can be said that his talent on the offensive end is almost not inferior to Beal.

Although Reed is not a starter, Masimmi is not a player of the same level as him at all.

And the next game quickly confirmed this.

The Wizards attack.

After Rivers Jr. got the ball, he wanted to connect the team's offense, but the running position of the Wizards' bench players was far from Rivers' idea, and there was no tacit understanding at all!!

Seeing that there was not much time left to attack, Rivers Jr. could only hold the ball and do it alone.

He controlled the ball at the top of the three-point arc, faced Alexander's defense, suddenly took a step back, and directly pulled up the jump shot!!

"Bang !!"

Little plum angrily brushes an iron!!

The basketball hit the front of the basket with precision.

It's almost a microcosm of the Wizards' offense.

Once the Wizards miss an outside shot, even if they grab an offensive rebound, continue to attack or play iron.

The Clippers, on the other hand, played smoothly.

One of the players who played the best during this time was Reed, who kept breaking through the ball and almost tore the entire Wizards' defense with his passes!

The Wizards' defense is like paper paste, and Reed's breakthrough pass is almost a god-killing existence, like entering a no-man's land, attracting defensive firepower while calmly assisting teammates to score.

Harrell also had occasional bright performances, during a rebounding scramble, Harrell flattened the ground with a thunderclap, and in the second before the jump, he burst out with a flood of power, instantly squeezed away the Wizards' interior Marshin rice with his body, and then easily picked up the rebound in the front court.

Then he jumped up again and roared, and it was directly a two-handed violent buckle, full of domineering!!

For the first three minutes of the second quarter, the initiative of the game was firmly in the hands of the Clippers, who were playing at home.

In just three minutes, Reed led a group of Clippers bench bandits and played a wave of 14:4 offensive shockwaves, the Wizards' bench lineup was directly stunned, and the Clippers stopped the Wizards again.

Clippers 42:24 Wizards. The Clippers waved and instantly stretched the difference to 14 points!

Directly let all the efforts of Wall and Bill in the first quarter go to waste, referred to as ---Yang Bailao!!

The outstanding performance of the Clippers' bench players brought the fan atmosphere at the Staples Center to a climax in an instant, and the wave of unbridled shouts of the fans almost knocked over the roof above the Staples Center arena!!

"Well done, Louis, Ollie give!! Keep up the good work, continue to beat the wizards, and use bloody lessons to let them know that the Staples Center Arena is not a cat or dog that can come to the wild casually!! ”

"That's right, the Wizards team is also this bit of strength, without the backcourt double guns, the bench played like a piece of, what a disappointment for me!!"

"It's not an ordinary dish, I don't think Yang and they don't have to go on anymore, Reed can solve the battle with a bunch of substitutes, and even I can go up!!"

"Hurry up and replace Wall and Bill, otherwise this game won't be watchable, it's really spicy, it's better to watch Auntie square dance!!"

"Wizards, hurry up and make substitutions, otherwise the game will collapse, and Yang won't be able to play and brush up on the data!!"

“……”

The Clippers fans in the stadium have begun to boo, and the Wizards bench players are under tremendous pressure at the moment.

There's no doubt that the Wizards' rotation is going terribly wrong offensively.

For three minutes, the Wizards also scored two points on two free throws and two free throws for Green. On top of that, Satoranski made a difficult mid-range shot, and the two scored a total of four points, contracting all the points for the team.

Wizards head coach Brooks, who was standing in front of the bench, kept pacing back and forth, his face was full of impatience, and his brow was about to wrinkle into a big embarrassment.

"Bill, it's better for you to get on."

In order to solve the team's offensive problems, Brooks had to send in Beal early, and Beal had already recovered most of his offensive touch in the second half of the first quarter.

At the same time, because Beal did not play well in the first quarter, he sat on the sidelines early to rest, so his physical strength was quite abundant.

"Coach, I'll go too."

Wall, who was sitting on the bench, was also anxious at this time, and he was afraid that the game would collapse early if he didn't wait for him to come back.

"No, you haven't fully recovered from your fitness or injuries."

Brooks glanced at Wall, who was still a little gasping, and decisively rejected his unreasonable request.

In Brooks' view, Wall consumed too much physical energy in the strong confrontation with Li Yang in the first quarter, and he has just returned from injury this season, and if he continues to play, there will definitely be a risk of injury, and he does not dare to bet at this time.

Moreover, Brooks mainly hopes that Wall can leave his physical strength in the second half, after all, it is not yet the time to fight hard, if the point difference continues to be widened, it means that the general trend has gone, and there is no need to risk injury for that slim hope!!

But Wall's willingness to fight was quite resolute, and in desperation, Brooks could only allow Wall to continue to play, while telling him to protect himself.

Wall came on for Rivers Jr., and Beal replaced Satoranski.

When Rivers Jr. returned to the bench, his face was also full of loss and depression.

This is the first time he has returned to the Staples Center since joining the Wizards to face his old owner, but he did not perform well in his precious playing time, not only did he not score a point, but also lost two turnovers!!
