Chapter 268: Griffin's Performance
Time is getting less and less, and although Davis doesn't know the exact number of seconds with his back to the basket, it is clear that as an experienced old man, he has realized that there is not much time, so he has pressed it forward.
Xue Ding was also waiting for this moment in his heart, as soon as Davis started to change his center of gravity, Xue Ding immediately had a quick change of direction in advance, a step sideways, and a quick stop jump shot.
Davis, who was half a beat slower, pounced hard and directly hit Xue Ding, who was still in the air.
Xue Ding landed on the ground and rolled to protect his body, "beep", the referee's whistle sounded quickly, and at the same time raised a finger.
Shooting foul and three free throws.
Chandler quickly stepped forward to pull Xue Ding, and the two high-fived happily.
Xue Ding walked to the free throw line, the home fans let out a sharp whistle to interfere, and the fans behind the basket were more professional, constantly waving the cheering sticks in their hands, trying to cause interference.
However, these had no effect on Xue Ding, and after Xue Ding took a deep breath, he received the referee's ball and steadily hit the penalty.
There were 10 minutes and 55 seconds left on the clock, and the score was 5:0.
The Clippers attacked, and Davis received the serve and came directly towards Xue Ding, which was completely a situation where I would never give up if I didn't succeed in beating you.
Xue Ding knew very well in his heart that people who were too competitive were like this, just like a bull who saw a red cloth.
It's still the same to keep a one-step distance, you throw me and cover it, and you suddenly have enough buffer distance for me to keep following.
Davis kept changing direction and dribbling in advance, adjusting the tempo, but also looking for a breakthrough.
Xue Ding kept his center of gravity to follow, but the defense was passive after all, and for the star, it was impossible to be completely prevented.
Davis continued to change direction in front of him, a feint to the right to break through, Xue Ding took out the ball, Davis had a quick ultra-low dribble and pulled sideways, breaking through from the left side.
Originally, the two were fighting, and the other teammates opened the space very wide, and it was completely too late to make up the defense, Davis rushed in, and entered the no-man's land.
After landing, he patted his chest with excitement, expressing the strength that had been held back for a long time in the center.
The home fans chanted Davis's name and mingled with the whistles.
Davis's hands kept rising, mobilizing the atmosphere in the front court.
Xue Ding felt these very calmly, and knew very well that he was not breaking the ball without a purpose just now, but knowing Davis's passing intentions, and wanted to cut off his dribble from it, but Davis, who is 191 tall, fully showed the advantage of being short but with a lower center of gravity, and successfully got rid of his defense.
The Trail Blazers attacked, Xue Ding dribbled past half court, and Davis continued to come up.
Xue Ding looked at the position of his teammates, Ade and Chandler were stuck near the three-second zone, and then saw Davis, who lowered his center of gravity to prevent his breakthrough, and did not hesitate to dribble and pull out his hand.
The ball flew towards the basket in a graceful arc in the air, Davis didn't react, he thought that Xue Ding would find a way to break through himself, but he didn't expect Xue Ding to shoot directly.
With a "bang", three points of hollow into the net.
Xue Ding raised the three fingers of his right hand high, doing the usual action after hitting the three-point shot.
"My Xue Xue's cold expression, coupled with this gesture of raising his hand, is simply cool"
"Overlord Xue is still as domineering as ever"
"Looking at Davis's depressed expression, my stomach hurts with laughter, and he is still waiting for Xue Ding to make a breakthrough"
"Overlord Xue is too bad, say good bullfighting, you end up throwing three points"
……
After the fan Xue Ding hit the three-point shot easily, he happily played a barrage to express his joy.
Davis, who is not enough to be one of the parties, is not so beautiful.
As soon as Xue Ding finished his action and was about to turn back to defense, he ran to Xue Ding's side and said two pieces of garbage.
The voice was very small, but Xue Ding heard it clearly.
Xue Ding also replied without hesitation, stupid.
Although Davis didn't understand, he also understood that Xue Ding's words were definitely not embarrassing.
The atmosphere between the two teams has become more subtle as the mood between their respective cores rises.
In the next few rounds, Davis continued to use his low center of gravity advantage to break through the goal, and Xue Ding was simpler, either directly pulling out, or after breaking through in one step, he stopped and jumped to shoot.
Xue Ding's strategy is very simple, you are short and have a low center of gravity, but I am tall, shoot high, and use my own advantages to fight the opponent's disadvantages, that is the most relaxed.
Although both of them play their own characteristics, but relatively speaking, the stability after the breakthrough is poorer, Xue Ding used his shooting stability to take the lead again, three three-point shots and two shots, scored 10 points in the three-minute class, Davis scored 7 points in a row, one of which only hit one of the two free throws.
With the score at 15-9, the Trail Blazers continued to lead, and the Clippers called a timeout, and head coach Dunleavy had been on the sidelines for a long time
As an old coach, with old qualifications and a good temper, the adjustment strategy is very simple, directly put Davis on the bench and replaced him with a 2.01 Butler.
The Trailblazers didn't make any adjustments, and Pritchard was very relieved about Xue Ding.
The two sides came to the court again, and the Clippers attacked.
After Davis went off the court, Gordon came to control the ball, 193 height, it feels no different from Davis, the body is the same strong, the only difference is that there is no beard.
Gordon dribbled the ball through the half, and in the face of Xue Ding's defense, he was very sensible and did not stick to the ball, and passed the ball directly to Rasol? Butler, Battle holds the ball high and hangs it to Griffin, who is stuck in position.
After Griffin received the ball, he quickly turned around and faced the frame, and with a shooting feint, he deceived Ade, accelerated into the interior line in one step, and easily dunked it.
Turning around, Xue Ding held the ball at the top of the arc, Ade mentioned the high position, Xue Ding passed the ball at the first time, Ade received the ball and hit it with a backward shot, and it was also colored.
Xue Ding waited in place for Ade to come over, and took the initiative to high-five to celebrate the tacit cooperation just now.
The Clippers weren't nervous at all when they saw that Griffin was facing a veteran of a fame like Ade as a rookie, so after halftime, the ball went straight to Griffin.
I have to say that the physical fitness of Griffin, who is known as the White Demon Beast, made Xue Ding speechless, and his speed, strength, and explosiveness made Ade deflated one after another.
When attacking, as soon as he catches the ball, whether he pushes Ade directly with his back to the single, he jumps directly to his position, either dunks or easily puts the ball into the basket, even if Chandler comes over to make up for the defense, Griffin is easy to dodge.
On the defensive end, although Ade has a certain advantage in height and weight, Griffin, who has strengthened his defense, constantly goes around the front and defends at the top, which makes Ade tired and has a much lower shooting rate.
