Chapter 522: Rivers' Chicken Soup (Second Update!) )

"Blake, you need to be resolute, just attack inside when you catch the ball, he can't defend you at all, you are the best power forward, you have to attack decisively!"

At halftime, Rivers pulls Griffin and pours chicken soup on him.

His chicken soup level is one of the strongest in the league.

Blowing and boasting, Griffin listened and nodded vigorously.

"Guys, we're 12 points behind, but trust me, it's not a bad thing, it's a good thing, and when we catch up with that 12-point deficit in the second half, the young opponents will panic.

So trust yourselves and think about what I've said to you before, we're here to win the championship and we can't stop here. ”

Rivers really has a set of chicken soup, and after a few words, the frustration on the faces of the Clippers players has become significantly less, and there is still some excitement.

"Come, stretch out your hands, and let's shout the slogan."

Rivers strikes while the iron is hot.

The Clippers all stood up one after another, their hands folded together.

"Clippers!"

"The King of Los Angeles!"

After the slogan was shouted, the confidence on the faces of the Clippers players was clearly back.

"Let's start fighting back and win the game!"

Rivers finally shouted to the team.

Coming back in the second half, the Clippers' starting lineup remained unchanged.

There was a change on the Pelicans' side, with Williams bringing on Anderson to start in place of Evans.

This adjustment is also expected, and the Pelicans basically used this lineup in the starting stage.

Come up and the Pelicans attack first.

Tang Tian played Barnes in the front court, and at this time Redick came over.

It's a halftime adjustment from the Clippers.

The Pelicans could put Barnes in the first half, and they could naturally put Aminu.

Tang Tian passed the ball to Aminu.

Aminu's three-point shot from the outside was his first three-point attempt of the game.

"Bang!"

The basket is out of the box.

Aminu had already started training three-pointers at the behest of the coaching staff half a season ago, but the effect was much slower than expected.

Speaking of which, Aminu in history also had a three-point hand until the pioneers, and it was not very prominent.

The Clippers' halftime adjustment was a disadvantage to the Pelicans' lineup.

Jordan Jr. defended the defensive rebound, the Clippers attacked the frontcourt, and Paul gave the ball to Griffin as soon as possible.

Griffin catches the ball and is turned to the basket and killed.

He was significantly more decisive in his attacking choices than in the first half.

Tang Tian didn't have time to wrap up, and Davis was also stuck by Jordan Jr.

"Bang!"

Griffin shook off Anderson, rushed in and smashed the frame with one hand!

After he dunked, the whole person swung around the basket, and after landing, he took off his braces and yelled at the audience.

There was no chance in the whole first half, but it can be regarded as suffocating him!

The cheers of the audience also broke out instantly.

Although they are still 10 points behind, the goal is quite morale-boosting.

The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, and Tang Tian continued to be caught with the ball.

After the Clippers tasted the sweetness, they carried the bag clip to the end.

Tang Tian recalled the final game against the Lakers at this time, if he was Kobe, he could also use the back to solve the problem by playing the two.

But now he doesn't have the ability to score, and passing is a better option.

The ball reached Aminu, who chose to break through after holding the ball.

The Pelicans cooperated under the basket, and Davis's shot was defended by Jordan Jr.

He really doesn't have much to do right now.

Jordan Jr. protects defensive rebounds.

The Clippers attack the frontcourt and play the position.

Paul and Griffin's pick-and-roll, after the break-up, Paul hits the ground and knocks Griffin.

Griffin received the ball without hesitation and scored a layup against Holiday and caused Holiday to hit a beater.

His performances in the second half and the first half were like two people!

Rivers smiled at this.

His coaching philosophy is not the same as that of others, or his coaching focus is to study how to bring out the best in the players.

As for tactics or something, just find a working assistant coach, like his current Tyronn Lue.

Single-minded and refined, which is why his chicken soup works every time.

And he also has absolute confidence in his chicken soup abilities.

Griffin was in amazing form in the second half, and the Clippers played with great momentum.

With less than five minutes to play in the third quarter, the Clippers trailed the score to 44-50.

Williams was forced to call an early timeout.

During the pause, he and Tang Tian briefly exchanged a few words.

Coming back from the timeout, the Pelicans made changes to their lineup, with Whiteside and Morrow coming on to replace Aminu and Anderson.

Theoretically, Griffin can attack before the pack, and Tang Tian can also attack Barnes, with advantages on both sides.

But the problem is that Anderson is much worse defensive than Barnes, so Tang Tian's opposition advantage is obviously not as big as Griffin's.

At this time, it is better to make changes to the lineup.

Upper Whiteside is to strengthen the interior defense while ensuring a certain amount of pie-eating ability, and Upper Morrow is to continue to maintain offensive space.

This is the result of the exchange between Tang Tian and Williams.

However, such a change would allow Morrow to defend against Redick, which is a counter-disadvantage.

But nothing is perfect, and that's the best the Pelicans can do.

After a timeout, Tang Tian received the ball outside the three-point line.

Unlike when Anderson was on the court before, Morrow is an outside player, Holiday also has three-point ability, and the Clippers will not contain him at the three-point line.

He was caught in the bag for a few rounds, and now he finally had a chance to do one.

Barnes continued to stay close to his body.

Tang Tianyun pulled it up directly in one step.

Barnes flew over, but he jumped up to find out that he had been deceived by Tang Tian.

Tang Tian faked a three-point foul and got three free throws.

Paul turned to talk to the referee again.

The referee didn't change the decision, Barnes stuck too tight, and the jump had already violated Tang Tian's shooting cylinder.

Although Tang Tian does not have Harden's ability to touch porcelain, he was the godfather of basketball in his last life, and the attributes of the ball merchant are full of qualities.

The scene was full of boos.

Tang Tian made all three free throws against boos, and reopened the score difference to 9 points.

These three points came very critically, and they suppressed the momentum of the Clippers' chasing points.

Griffin played Davis up front, and his shot was covered by Whiteside.

The Pelicans' hand adjustment is in place.

However, Morrow's defense was indeed a little worse, and the Clippers sent the ball from the sideline again, and Redick's catch-and-shoot three-point shot continued the Clippers' score.

Tang Tian had the opportunity to play Barnes one-on-one, and Redick also felt good in this quarter, and the two teams were deadlocked on the field.

At the end of the third quarter, the Pelicans led the Clippers by 5 points 73-68, and the outcome was still unknown.

"Keep the intensity, the next is our advantage time, we play at home, we have more experience, we have more stamina, we will win!"

During the interjunctive timeout, Rivers began pouring chicken soup on the Clippers players again, and his mood was noticeably higher.

The final quarter decides the winner, and his chicken soup must be a little thicker.
