Chapter 808: Chinese Magician

Griffin's surname is the meaning of griffin, the sky overlord, and now that the eagle has come, there are really some signs of the sky overlord.

After joining the Hawks, Griffin's data comparison did not decline during the Clippers period, and he also led the Hawks to play a very good record, and many Clippers fans secretly said that it was a pity for a while......

If Griffin hadn't been sold, with the current Clippers roster, would they be a solid champion?

If Richard knew what these fans were thinking, he would probably laugh and cry......

If Griffin hadn't been sold, he Richard would not have the current lineup in front of him, at least one Horford and Thompson would be missing from the starting lineup.

Is it a Griffin, or is it Horford plus Thompson? I'm afraid fools know what to choose.

In Richard's view, a Horford is actually no worse than Griffin, let alone add the best 3D player in history.

……

Griffin is having a good time with the Hawks right now, but he definitely still has a grudge against the Clippers.

In his opinion, he could have been more happy, after all, it was Los Angeles, and he would definitely become the most beautiful boy on the Los Angeles court, and countless young models and beauties threw themselves into their arms......

It's not just that there are more beauties, the key is that you will make more money.

Now that he was sold to Atlanta, everything is far away from him.

A resentful Griffin is looking forward to the next match.

Although the Clippers also played against the Hawks last season, the Clippers roster at that time was not formed, and Griffin felt that even if he led the team to win the Clippers, it would not mean anything.

And now it's different, the Clippers' lineup has been formed, sitting firmly on the first place in the West, in this case, if he can lead the Hawks to kill the Clippers, there will be countless media to help him disgust Richard......

……

At half past eight in the evening, the two sides began to appear.

Richard didn't take this game too seriously, although he also knew that Griffin might have a grudge against him, but there are countless people in the league who have a grudge against him, and Griffin is not ranked at the moment......

……

The Eagles can play the fifth record in the east where there are many strong players, which is naturally a bit of a pound, and the lineup is quite good.

Griffin, Josh Smith, Jeff Teague, Reed, Korver, Devin Harris, these are some of the most famous figures in the history of the League......

There is also Zaza Pachulia, a well-known villain on the field.

"Doot toot!" The referee blew the whistle to start the game, and both sides began to take the field.

The starting lineup on the Warriors' side is Horford, Green, Leonard, Thompson and Sun Yue.

Green's three-game suspension is already over.

The Eagles' starting lineup is Griffin, Josh Smith, Korver, Devin Harris and Jeff Teague.

Such a starting line-up is clearly also a deliberate arrangement by head coach Larry Drew.

There is no center in the traditional sense, Griffin and Josh Smith are both power forwards, and this lineup can ensure that the Eagles' starting lineup on the court has a strong impact.

And because of Griffin's presence, even if there is no center player, he will not suffer in rebounding.

It is precisely with such a rather impactful lineup that the Eagles can play the current record.

……

As soon as the Hawks opened the game, the Clippers were caught off guard by their impact, and Griffin caught the ball at the free throw line twice in a row and rushed straight to the basket to chase Egg Green......

Speaking of which, Chasing Green's defense is indeed good, but he defends a big forward like Griffin, who has both height, strength, speed and impact, and the defensive effect is quite unsatisfactory, and it is not a matter of being blown up once or twice.

What he's really good at defending is a player like Nabefu who plays slowly and leisurely......

was deducted twice in a row, and the face of chasing the egg was red, and Horford on the side took the initiative to take over the burden of defending Griffin, don't look at him with a baby face, but the effect of defending Griffin is definitely much better than that of chasing Griffin.

In the next offensive round, Griffin couldn't get on the ground, but he still managed to score two points with a dry shot.

At the beginning, Griffin scored six points in a row, but the Clippers' two shots were both missed, and the Hawks directly hit a small climax of 6:0.

"Outside!"

"Three points!"

Richard chanted from the sidelines, reminding the players on the field.

Griffin's point is quite difficult for the Clippers at the moment, and since it is difficult to deal with, Richard can only let the Clippers play an advantage on the outside.

……

Richard's chanting allowed the Clippers on the court to begin their perimeter playbook.

All five players on the court have three-point strength, and in the offensive round, Horford and Egg Chase Green are not only responsible for interior rebounds, but also pull high posts from time to time to involve the opponent's interior defense.

This kind of outside play, in fact, does not necessarily mean that you will be able to play an advantage, at the beginning of the Clippers will not feel good, and the difference between the two sides has been further widened.

Just over halfway through the first quarter, the Clippers are already 11 points behind!

At this moment, there was a sudden turn for the better.

Klay Thompson hit a three-pointer after receiving the ball from the outside to bring the deficit back to within 10 points.

And that's not all, Leonard cut off Jeff Tig's pass to Harris, and then passed to Sun Yue to start a counterattack.

Sun Yue found Klay Thompson on the outside again, and it turned out to be another three-point shot.

Two three-pointers in a row directly pulled the difference between the two sides back to only five points.

The difference between the two sides is 11 points, which is definitely a huge difference, and if the difference is only five points, such a difference is actually nothing.

……

"Go on, that's how it should be!" Richard stood on the sidelines and shouted.

It's the Hawks' offensive round again, but this time Sun Yue's defense worked, and he cut Jeff Teague's pass again, and then organized a counterattack, probably because he saw that Thompson's first two shots were too good, and this time Sun Yue passed the ball to Thompson again.

What made the audience boil was that this time Thompson shot three points when he was one step away from the outside, and he actually scored again.

It was undoubtedly a miracle to have three deadly three-pointers in a row, cutting nine points in a row, and chasing the original 11-point deficit back to a mere two.

You must know that to recover this nine-point difference, Thompson only took a little more than a minute!

Sometimes, the three-point thing is quite weird, and it may be that in the case of various large vacancies, how to shoot and how not to score.

Of course, it may also be how to shoot and score in the face of various high-intensity defenses.

Obviously, the current Thompson is in this state of how to shoot and how to score.

……

"Doot toot!" Hawks head coach Larry Drew directly called a timeout, and this timeout is not called, and the devil knows if Thompson will continue to hit three-pointers.

The original score difference was as high as 11 points, but in the blink of an eye, it was about to be equalized, and no one could stand it.

Larry Drew is also aware of the problem they have right now, which is that they don't have enough height in the backcourt to pose a threat to the shooting of Clippers players.

With Jeff Tig at 188 centimeters and Devin Harris at 191 centimeters, the backcourt combination of the two struggles to put pressure on a pitcher like Thompson, who is more than two meters tall.

In desperation, Larry Drew could only start to change formations.

Zaza was replaced, and Josh Smith was put in the third position, and Korver, who originally played the third position, was in the second position.

Korver is 201 centimeters tall, and his defense, especially in his prime, is underrated, and it will certainly work well against Thompson.

As for the No. 1 position, Larry also took Jeff Teague, who was cut off in the first quarter, and replaced it with a reed on the bench.

Reed is actually a No. 2 player to be precise, but his height of 188 is actually not too tall to play No. 1......

Maybe this is why Reed has always been a substitute, even if the data is quite outstanding, no team has given him a big contract.

After this change, Larry Drew is also unsure, this lineup is not their Hawks' usual lineup, and I don't know if it can work as well as it should be against the Clippers.

"Good job, man, I've decided, I'm going to let you play all this game, come back to the court in a while and give me as many shots as possible, if you encounter this kind of outburst opportunity, try to brush me up with a big data." Richard said excitedly patting Thompson on the shoulder.

Thompson was praised by Richard like this, and there was a shy expression on his face, this thing belongs to the kind of extremely sullen personality, and he can't go off the court, but he always feels like a pure otaku on the court.

At the end of the timeout, the two sides returned to the court, Richard did not change the formation, and the five people on the field were still the same.

At the beginning, Griffin scored a goal by relying on a mid-range shot, which slightly alleviated the thrilling situation just now.

didn't wait for Larry Drew to breathe a sigh of relief and turn his head, although Thompson failed to hit this time, Green flew to grab the offensive rebound under the basket, and then assisted Sun Yue, who ran without the ball, to hit a shot.

Sun Yue is still playing very comfortably, the whole league can't find a point guard of his height, the reed's own defense is not very good, after Sun Yue received the ball, he directly pulled out the shot in front of the reed, and the reed didn't have any way to take Sun Yue.

"Geek!" Reed cursed in his heart.

The 206-height point guard makes the 188-height quarterback Reed feel the urge to strangle the opponent, which is completely bullying.

It is no exaggeration to say that Sun Yue is the tallest point guard in NBA history......

Of course, this is tied with Magic Johnson, both of whom are 206 centimeters tall.

This season, because of Sun Yue's outstanding performance in the No. 1 position, coupled with his same height as a magician, the current Sun Yue has won the title of "Chinese magician".

Not to mention, under normal circumstances, Sun Yue really has the name of a Chinese magician.

It's just that under normal circumstances, Sun Yue calls this nickname, which feels quite unworthy of the name......

But now Sun Yue can live up to this nickname, not everyone can play an average of 17 points and 7 assists per game.

……

After Sun Yue's mid-shot score, the difference between the two sides returned to two points.

Korver missed a three-pointer from the outside, and the rebound was protected by Horford, and the Clippers had their first chance to tie the score of the game.
