In the second half of the second quarter, Li Liang was finally able to sit on the sidelines and rest for a while.

The Lakers backcourt Xuan Ming and the two elders reappeared, and the pressure on the Clippers' backcourt increased dramatically.

Negro immediately brought on Crawford for Willie Green and Butler, and he didn't dare to use Billups more.

After the two elders of Xuan Ming got up, the Lakers played more unrestrained on the offensive end, and Kobe and Nash had the power to fire anytime and anywhere.

As soon as Nash came up, the top three points of the arc hit an iron first.

Then, Butler stepped on the line and went out of bounds in the middle of the attack.

Nash countered with the ball and directly killed the basket, causing Jordan Jr.'s foul.

The lethality of the two elders is still very strong.

Nash made both free throws.

The Lakers continue to maintain a lead of about 5 points, and they are pressing the Clippers anyway.

In terms of defensive alignment, after Li Liang went down, Howard personally came to defend Griffin.

After Griffin got the ball in the low post, he spun the top to get rid of Howard, but the front throw was interfered with by Howard after turning.

Howard got the backcourt rebound and handed the ball to Nash.

Nash slowly cut in with the help of double screens, and after some observation, suddenly a pass in the gap was handed to Howard, who went down.

Howard catches the ball and lays it up, causing Griffin's foul.

Griffin is a bit miserable today, and he feels like he's always being bullied.

Howard hit one of two free throws, and the Clippers still wanted to play the fastball, but this time Kobe Bryant defended Paul and pressed down the rhythm.

Paul gave the ball to Butler, and the Clippers couldn't play any effective tactics at this point.

In the end, Butler threw a strong shot against Ci Shiping, and he didn't even touch the basket.

Howard grabbed the rebound, Nash played as fast as he did, and the wind rushed through the half.

On the Clippers' side, Paul is one defense and two, and the other is Kobe!

Nash passed the ball directly to Kobe, Kobe dribbled one to get rid of, and then made a quick stop and hit a step-back jumper!

Xiu, the fast break uses a step-back jumper, and there is only one defender in front of Paul.

Paul didn't have a chance to foul this ball.

Li Liang sat on the bench and was very dissatisfied when he saw Kobe's operation, "Learn from me, learn from me one by one, you can copy it!" ”

Negro called a short timeout, and the two elders couldn't stop it.

After a season of running-in, the cooperation of Kobe and Nash has been sublimated in the playoffs.

In the regular season, the two were also criticized for defensive problems.

In the playoffs, the defensive intensity went up, and the offensive efficiency of each team was declining.

At this time, the efficiency of the second elder on the offensive end is precious.

Both have excellent projection, both have good passing ability, both can support the tactical system on their own, and both have a huge triple threat.

These two players are on the field, old and old, but they are in good shape.

The Clippers' defense is incomprehensible, and there will always be holes.

Coupled with Howard's eating cake on the inside and wiping the ass of the second old man on the defensive end, the Lakers' offense and defense became more and more stable.

After Kobe Bryant finished loading this press, Paul counterattacked with the ball and hit the basket straight from the middle.

He collided directly with Howard, twisting his body in the air and throwing the ball to the basket.

The referee blows the whistle and Howard blocks the foul.

And the ball bounced a few times on the basket and fell into the net!

Hit three points!

Paul is out of line, the team can't attack, so he can only do it himself.

Penalty hit.

But Kobe Bryant didn't let Paul be alone, and immediately held the ball to accelerate to the basket, made fouls, and made free throws.

The two sides entered a stalemate phase.

The Lakers are more comfortable offensively, while the Clippers are basically just looking at Paul.

As the second quarter drew to a close, the Lakers led the Clippers by six points at 56:50.

The Clippers played quite hard, their offensive efficiency never went up, and they couldn't hit the offensive waves.

Butler and Griffin both had a dysfunctional hand, and several outside attempts to shoot missed.

The Lakers are unhurried, and Li Liang has returned to the court to replace Gasol.

Nash used Li Liang's solid cover to hit the basket from the right side, and then faced Paul with a right hand to hit the board and hit the shot!

58:50！ 8 points!

The difference doesn't seem huge, but it's hopeless.

Because the Clippers couldn't play continuous combination punches on offense, they could only play east and west, and chase hard in the back.

They've been picking up the pace, they've been trying to break down the Lakers' defense with their speed.

But the Lakers were very disciplined defensively, and they were not brought up by Paul at all.

This is thanks to Mike Brown, after all, he fought in the East, and he has a good set of how to adjust the defense.

Especially in terms of controlling the tempo, Brown always ensured that Ci Shiping and Li Liang had a presence and could control and defend in the middle.

And the Clippers flanks are not to be afraid, let Butler, Barnes shoot, and occasionally score a few.

As for the Clippers, do you dare to let Li Liangtou go?

This is still a restraint in the lineup and style of play, and the Clippers are still making mistakes in the end.

After Nash hit a throw, Griffin hurriedly took the ball to the baseline serve.

Because if they want to play fast, they have to serve quickly.

As a result, Griffin was too hasty, and the ball was stealed by Li Liang!

It's Li Liang again!

After the steal was successful, Li Liang did not attack by himself, but stabilized and handed the ball to Nash to reorganize the attack.

The last bit of time in the second quarter was consumed by the Lakers.

Although the Lakers did not succeed in this offense, the Clippers also lost the opportunity to chase points.

At halftime, 58:50, the Clippers trailed by eight points.

At the start of the second half, the momentum of the Clippers in the first quarter was gone.

This was the case for all three games, rushing at the beginning, rushing at the beginning and finding that they couldn't beat, and then they were weak.

Griffin tried to pass the ball to Jordan Jr. to play as a flight attendant, but was persecuted by Li Liang.

With me Li Liang here, you dare to play flight attendant?

The Lakers, on their side, completely slowed down, compressing their offensive time to about 20 seconds.

Howard's inefficient low-post singles were completely abandoned, and Howard purely began to be blue-collar.

Kobe Bryant and Nash were in control, and the two began to play for Li Liang, Ci Shiping, and Howard.

The two of them passed the ball in a mess, and they started to play.

Kobe Bryant passed the ball without looking at people, Nash hit the ground behind his back, Kobe Bryant made a super long pass across the court to Howard for a layup, Nash made a super low pass to the ground in the middle, and Ci Shiping received the ball and made a layup.

On the Clippers' side, Paul was struggling to support himself, scoring points with a three-pointer and a mid-range jumper.

But his passing was completely contained, and he couldn't drive his teammates, and the Clippers' proud three-line fast break and counter-attacking wave basically didn't hit any of them.

After Jordan Jr. received the ball under the basket, he turned around with a beautiful back with the ball and caught a small left-handed hook under the basket.

As a result, it was blown away.

Howard laughed, just your technique is still playing back and turning?

But the Clippers haven't collapsed yet, just because Paul is still breathing.

By the end of the third quarter, Paul had scored 25 points, including three three-pointers.

The Clippers trailed by nine points at 81-72.

In the fourth quarter, Negro was a little overwhelmed, and he replaced Griffin and used Turiaf.

Negro is really a horse doctor, always hoping that a player will suddenly explode and a miracle will happen.

There are miracles in the NBA, but they don't happen just by anyone.

The result of Turyaf on the court was that in the rotation stage, in the crucial fourth quarter chasing the points, Paul Gasol hit two goals in a row.

The two of them were teammates in the Lakers in the past, what level is Turyaf at, what defensive habits, Gasol will not know?

I don't know how many times I've practiced alone in the team.

This dozen, the difference has been stretched to 13 points, Negro, aren't you dead?

In this kind of back-to-back game, players who rarely played in the regular season and basically didn't play in the previous games suddenly went up.

If Gasol doesn't hit you, it's really an insult to his IQ.

But Paul immediately used a three-pointer to close the deficit to 10 points.

Then, the Lakers made a pass error, Paul snatched the ball back from the baseline, and the Clippers counterattacked.

Paul took the ball and went straight to the basket, and he didn't pass the ball anymore.

Enter the three-second zone from the middle lane and face O'Neal Jr. with a difficult throw!

The ball bounced twice on the basket and still went in!

With five points in a row, Paul scored 30 points, and the difference became 8 points.

The crowd cheered on Paul and the Clippers, including Lakers fans.

After all, I think the Clippers are a bit pitiful, a small man of 183 has worked so hard, but he can't win the ball.

At this time, Kobe Bryant stepped up and expressed his condolences to the Clippers on behalf of the Lakers, holding the ball in the middle and hitting a jumper angrily.

The Clippers are another counterattack, and if this goal is scored, the Lakers will be a little dangerous.

At this critical juncture, Li Liang will definitely appear.

[Death Coil]!

When Paul tried to hold the ball and counterattack, Li Liang wrapped his body around his body and cut off the ball directly from Paul's hand.

Paul grabbed back, and both of them fell to the ground.

Li Liang was quick and stabbed the ball to the basket, Kobe Bryant took the ball and made a layup with Jordan Jr.'s left hand, which also caused Jordan's foul!

Paul was lying on the floor, and when he saw Kobe Bryant's goal, he had to add a penalty and hit the floor with his fist!

It would have been a great opportunity for the Clippers to get off the ground, and if they scored six points, the situation would have improved.

But this one broken ball, Kobe Bryant scored three points, and the difference was pulled to 11 points, which was completely different.

Paul has tried his best, but he already has a hunch that the derby battle really can't beat the Lakers.

At this moment, a man walked up to Paul, who had fallen to the ground, and held out his hand to him, "Hey, pull you?" ”

Paul looked at it and it was the No. 28, Bruce Lee.

With Paul's temper, he would never accept letting his opponent pull him up.

But this time, I don't know why, Paul reached out and grabbed Li Liang's hand.

This is a broad and powerful hand, and Li Liang pulled Paul up with a light pull.

Then he patted Paul on the head and walked away.
