Chapter 273: Against Defense

In fact, of course, it was not that he was really beaten in the face, but that the ball that he had just shot was covered by Xue Ding again, but for Griffin, it felt like he was slapped in the face.

Xue Ding picked up the ball and began to accelerate, Davis quickly chased back, the speed couldn't keep up at all, and when it came to the free throw line, Xue Ding glanced back again, and found that no one was keeping up, so he directly changed the angle, jumped up in one step, and played a dunk that looked back at the moon with a 45° angle.

After Xue Ding landed, he found that no one followed, and Griffin seemed to be chasing the referee and constantly saying something, looking a little angry.

When I got closer, I was complaining that I had just committed a foul.

Ade immediately pulled Xue Ding over, and other teammates came over to express the same thoughts, saying that Griffin must be very unhappy, and there was no need to stimulate him at this time.

Xue Ding actually just wanted to hear the specific situation, and he didn't want to stimulate anyone, but the brothers considered that their team was definitely going to enter the playoffs, but the Clippers were determined that there was no hope of entering the playoffs this season, and if the two sides clashed again, it would not be cost-effective to trigger a ban or something.

Seeing that his teammates were thinking so long-term, and they were completely thinking about the team, and they didn't worry about what they were afraid of at all, Xue Ding had no extra explanation, after all, he has always been not troublesome, but he is even more afraid of things, and he is happy to have less trouble.

In the end, the referee upheld the original verdict, thinking that this was a very good block, the scene just now was constantly replayed on the big screen in the center, and the slow motion saw it very clearly, although there was physical contact, but the block came first, and the strength of this physical contact was not much smaller than Griffin's deduction of Adena.

Xue Ding knew very well in his heart that this was being suppressed one after another, and Griffin's mentality was a little unbalanced, otherwise he would not be so calculating.

However, Xue Ding feels that these are not his main considerations, what he is thinking about now is to continue to play with momentum, lead the whole team to win this game, and lay a good qualifying foundation for entering the playoffs.

With 7:40 left in the third quarter, the score was 52:50, and the Trail Blazers took the lead for the first time.

The Clippers attacked, Davis broke through Batum's defense, successfully attracted the attention of all defenders, faced the shrinkage of the inside, jumped in the air, and faked the shot to Lassol on the outside? Butler.

Butler was completely vacant, with a height of more than two meters, he didn't even need to jump, he took the ball and shot directly, hitting three-point shots.

"Xue, this ball is mine"

"It's okay, just do a good job of defending next time"

Ade said for the first time that the opponent's three-point shot was a problem with his defense, and he was supposed to fill in according to the rotation, but when he saw Davis breaking through, he couldn't help but go to make up for it.

Xue Ding understands this kind of inertial thinking very well, people who have been guarding the inside line for a long time, as soon as they see the defender breaking through, their first thought must be to interfere with the cap or something, so they directly expose the people on the outside.

This needs to be adapted, and Xue Ding felt that Ade would not have any problems at all, so he directly gave encouragement.

Xue Ding held the ball after half the court, and the Clippers began to implement a 3-2 defensive strategy again, which was originally a one-on-one defensive strategy, which was to let Xue Ding break through, limit his passing and three points, but it turned out that it was not good to let Xue Ding play too hard.

Originally, Griffin's two supplementary dunks, but instead of a team, was directly in a suppressed situation, and he had already surrendered psychologically, but as a result, Xue Ding played a strong counterattack response, and the momentum was brought back.

Therefore, the veteran coach of the Clippers team was very experienced and quickly adjusted his defensive strategy, and immediately suppressed Xue Ding from the outside in all directions, not giving a chance to break through, not giving the opportunity to shoot at will, and at the same time doing a good job of blocking the passing route.

Xue Ding saw that Griffin was the main defender, using his height advantage to put pressure on himself, and Davis was only looking at his defender by the way, but his body was facing him, ready to come over at any time, needless to say, Butler was also eyeing himself.

In the face of this targeted defense, the best choice is actually to pass the ball, use the pass, assist teammates to tear apart the opponent's defense, so Xue Ding made a move to break through, attracted the contraction of the outside three, and directly passed the ball to Ade, wanting Ade to play a misalignment.

After Ade received the ball, he directly leaned back and shot, but received Smith's interference and hit the iron directly, Camby grabbed the rebound, Xue Ding turned around as soon as he wanted to return and found that Griffin was about to run to the free throw line.

As a seasoned veteran, Camby clearly didn't miss such an opportunity, and made a long pass to Griffin, who received the ball and jumped high for a big windmill slam dunk to slam the basket.

The fans at the scene went crazy again, Xue Ding didn't care at all, and after receiving the ball directly in the backcourt, he dribbled to the front court at high speed, but the Clippers also quickly returned to the defense in place.

The three of them continued to adopt the posture of wrapping and clamping, wanting to put pressure on Xue Ding, after all, as soon as they came up to defend like this, it had achieved results, and Xue Ding observed the position of his teammates while dribbling.

Camby and Chandler are completely exchanged for one team, both of them have a single offensive method, but they are both good jumpers, sporty defensive titators, no one is convinced, and they have been entangled in hand-to-hand combat with each other during the game, so Xue Ding is not considering this point.

Ade is the only mismatch point on the field now, but the performance of the ball just now is obviously not suitable for the opponent's defense stuck in the next set, Batum and Cockscomb Man are constantly running in their own area.

Xue Ding's continuous crotch dribbling mobilized Griffin's rhythm, and Griffin followed while trying to dig it out from time to time with his thick arms, in a vain attempt to disrupt Xue Ding's rhythm.

Xue Ding made a left change to attract Griffin's center of gravity and shifted over, and turned right one after another to bypass Griffin's defense, Smith had already grabbed it in one step and intercepted, and Xue Ding passed the ball directly to Batum in the empty position.

Batum rescued and shot directly, Griffin quickly pounced from the side, I don't know if it was interfered with by this time, or if it was a little long since he didn't shoot, his hand felt too cold, and he hit the iron again.

Butler accepted the rebound, this time Xue Ding saw the arc of the ball, judged that the ball had improved, and at the same time, he quickly returned to defense, and sure enough, Griffin was very thief and had already gone down, if it wasn't for Xue Ding's good awareness, this was another fast attack from the other side.
